After staying in Dengzhou for three days, what he saw and heard was deeply engraved in his mind, and the middle-aged man who came with Tian Jinguan was a little impatient. Tian Jinguan lives in the backyard of this inn, which is an independent small building with overhanging eaves. The middle-aged man knows the temperament of his eldest nephew, who has been clothed and fed since he was a child, although he likes military affairs and follows the experience of famous teachers, as if his eldest brother is going to train him as a successor, but he has inadvertently developed his arrogant, nobody's eyes, and his self-respecting personality.

Take this trip to Dengzhou as an example, according to the meaning of the eldest brother, Dengzhou must not be allowed to set up a trade zone, since the imperial court will build the city division here, then it is possible to form a fleet as a pirate and sweep it away. Subsequently, in the name of suppressing bandits, they could also regain control of the East China Sea. Simple and neat, leave no trouble.

But the eldest young master didn't know what rumors in the market he had heard, and he insisted that this Zhu Ping'an was not a simple person, so he had to come to Dengzhou to take a look before making a decision. But what I have seen and heard in Dengzhou these days shows without exception that this Zhu Ping'an is just a teenager who was suddenly promoted to a high position, and the things he made are flashy, and he can easily strangle him in the bud with a raise of his hand, why bother so much.

It seems that in the past two days, the eldest young master has gradually realized this, since this is the case, why delay here, it is better to go back to his life earlier.

As soon as I entered the backyard, I saw the black and thin barefoot boy dozing off the rockery boredly, surrounded by several guards, and saw the middle-aged people walking in, all of whom were called "four masters".

The black thin boy woke up when he heard the sound, and jumped up when he stood up, "Fourth master! ”

The middle-aged man looked at the thin black boy and couldn't help but sigh. This child's father and brother are all talents valued by the eldest brother, and even the eldest brother likes this boy who is not amazing. It is often said that this kid will be the commander of his own naval division in the future, and at a young age, he followed his father and brother to fight at sea, and now he is only sixteen years old, and he is no weaker than the old man in the naval division. This time he came to Dengzhou, his eldest brother sent him to take charge of maritime affairs, and he came to Dengzhou all the way safely.

But the eldest young master obviously didn't like this person. This black thin boy grew up on the sea since he was a child, and his personality became more straightforward, so he seemed unruly in front of people, although he was pointed out by his eldest brother to give it to the eldest son in the future, but now it seems that he is not liked by the eldest son, and the scolding and disgust of people before and after him have not stopped every day.

"Fourth Master!" The thin black boy had a pleading look on his face, and before he could speak, the middle-aged man had already guessed what he wanted to say.

"Okay, this trip back, I'll intercede with the marshal for you and let you go back to the boat!" The middle-aged man said helplessly.

The thin black boy almost jumped up with joy, thanked him a few times, and ran out with a happy face.

The middle-aged man shook his head and went straight into the small building, and before he went upstairs, he heard the melodious sound of the piano coming from upstairs. On the second floor, I looked up and saw that my eldest young master was sitting leisurely by the window, looking at the little white sails on the sea in the distance, and the two specially invited singers, one stroked the qin, and the other snuggled in his arms, and from time to time passed the peeled fruit into his mouth, which was very comfortable.

Hearing the footsteps, the young man in white didn't look back, "Fourth uncle, you must have promised Shi Dalang to return to the boat, right?" ”

"That's right, Shi Dalang is proficient in maritime affairs, but he is stubborn and straightforward, and it is indeed not suitable to be a guard next to the eldest prince!"

"I also have this intention for a long time, this hillbilly has no dignity, and even does not pretend to me, even if he is talented, such a person cannot be of great use! Send it away as soon as possible! ”

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and nodded, "Jinguan, we have been in Dengzhou for a few days, we have watched everything we should see, and we have stopped listening to everything we should hear, so it is better to ......!" ”

The young man in white laughed, "This time, I thought too much, or did my father and fourth uncle take care of it." Originally, I was also a little unconvinced, that Zhu Ping'an was the same age as me, but now he is a high-ranking official of the second grade. I always feel unhappy in my heart, but now when I come to Dengzhou, I see that this person is just a strong and middle-class person, and I heard that he hugged the big tree of Lu Zhenfei, so he has such a smooth career, such a person, it is indeed not a matter of concern! ”

The young man in white thought for a while, "In this way, let's clean up today and leave for Fuzhou tomorrow!" ”

Before the words fell, a guard ran upstairs in a panic and knelt down on one knee: "Tell the eldest prince and the fourth master!" Hundreds of soldiers suddenly gathered outside the inn, surrounded the inn, and handed over a post, saying that there were guests visiting and wanted to see the eldest son of the Zheng family! ”

The young man in white and the middle-aged man were stunned together. At this time, the noise in the distance is getting louder and louder.

……

The streets and alleys in front of the inn have been under martial law by the Dengzhou New Army, and the inn has been surrounded by water, and the people have been crowded in the streets for two hundred years, poking their heads curiously. Zhu Ping'an sat on a black horse without a single stray hair on his body, wearing only an arrow suit and a net scarf on his forehead. Behind him were Yin Shigang and Guo Chai and a group of personal guards accompanying him.

The innkeeper won tremblingly, and when he saw Zhu Ping'an, his legs suddenly became weak, and he knelt down in front of the horse with a plop, "I don't know if the handsome man has arrived, and the villain has lost his distance!" ”

Zhu Ping'an smiled, and before he could speak, he saw a thin black boy running out with several men in strong suits with swords, firmly guarding the door of the inn.

"Dengzhou Metropolitan Division Yamen is in command, and the deputy chief soldier Lord Zhu has arrived, so you dare to do this, quickly put down the blade, otherwise the chicken and dog will not stay!"

The innkeeper knelt on the ground and suddenly collapsed into mud, Zhu Ping'an ordered Wang Jinfa to invite him aside, but his eyes were fixed on Shi Dalang and several guards who were on guard.

Cao Wuxian didn't pay attention to him, walked in front of him with the post in both hands, and didn't see how he made a move, several guards had already screamed and flew out.

Cao Wuxian walked in front of Shi Dalang and said with a smile: "The last time we met, let's not do it again." Please give the greeting post to your master! ”

Shi Dalang's face was incredible, but he still didn't put down the steel knife in his hand, but shouted and swung the knife at Cao Wuxian.

Cao Wuxian frowned, retreated backwards, and kicked Shi Dalang with a flying kick. The people around them burst into laughter.

Shi Dalang fell not lightly this time, shook his dizzy head, and then barely got up, not caring about the dust on his face, he still blocked the door with a horizontal knife, "Whoever wants to enter from this gate must step on my Shi Lang's corpse!" ”

Cao Wuxian was a little angry, this black thin boy was average, but he was really stubborn.

Cao Wuxian was about to make another move, but Zhu Ping'an shouted to stop.

Turning over and dismounting, Zhu Ping'an came to the front, Cao Wuxian was afraid that this Shi Dalang would go crazy and hurt Zhu Ping'an, so he hurriedly blocked in front of him, but Zhu Ping'an waved his hand to signal that it was okay.

"Your name is Shi Lang?" Zhu Ping'an looked Shi Dalang up and down. The appearance is not amazing, except for the courage of blood and spirit, I can't see that this outstanding admiral in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties has any outstanding features. It's also funny, now it is Shi Lang who is fully defending the Zheng family, and then it is this Shi Lang who recovers Taiwan and exterminates the Zheng family's forces, I have to say that this is a big joke played by history to Shi Lang.

A dark and thin figure, a dark face, and two eyes full of persistence and stubbornness. A trace of blood oozed from his mouth, and although the hand holding the knife trembled a little, he still refused to take a half step back.

Zhu Ping'an took the post from Cao Wuxian's hand, and said word by word in front of Shi Lang: "This official Zhu Ping'an, I heard that the eldest son of the Zheng family came to Dengzhou, and I came to visit, and I also asked the little brother to spread the word!" ”

Shi Lang was stunned when he heard this, he thought that this Zhu Ping'an would kill all the way in, but he didn't expect this person to be polite. Although Shi Lang made a mistake, he was a master who ate soft and did not eat hard, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

Footsteps sounded, and the young man in white and the short middle-aged man got the news and walked quickly to the front hall of the inn. The young man in white bowed his hand, "Boy Tian Jinguan, I didn't know that Master Zhu was here, and he was guilty of a crime!" But there was no intention of bowing down.

Cao Wuxian suddenly raised his eyebrows, and was about to reprimand, but Zhu Ping'an smiled, "The eldest prince came to Dengzhou, but he didn't inform the official, and the official was afraid that the idle people would disturb the distinguished guests, so he had to visit rashly!" ”

The young man in white and the middle-aged man glanced at each other, bowed down and let Zhu Ping'an and his party into the inn, and chose an elegant guest room to sit down for the guests.

Zhu Ping'an looked at the middle-aged man, "Dare to ask, but is it Mr. Yugong in person?" ”

The middle-aged man was taken aback, "How did the adults know?" ”

Zhu Ping'an pointed to Cao Wuxian, "The eldest prince and Mr. He should have met with my brother." When Mr. was a guest of Tang Wangfu, my brother was waiting by the side! ”

The middle-aged man was a little moved, then stood up and saluted again, "In Xia Zheng Hongkui, I have seen Lord Zhu, where it is rude, please Haihan!" ”

Zhu Ping'an stretched out his hand to help him, and then turned his eyes to the young man in white, "This should be the eldest son of the Zheng family!" ”

The young man in white smiled, and then he gave a big salute, "Boy Zheng Sen, I've seen an adult!" Please forgive me for any insignificance! ”

Zhu Ping'an laughed, "The eldest prince is really polite, this official and Zheng Dashuai are now officials in the same hall, although they are one south and one north, but they are jointly guarding my Daming Sea Frontier, so to speak, you should be more close." This time, the eldest prince came from afar, and peace should be a little bit of the friendship of the landlord, how to come to Haihan, forgive me! ”

After the three of them saw each other again, there was silence for a while, Zhu Ping'an drank tea by himself, but Zheng Sen and Zheng Hongkui were extremely uncomfortable.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Ping'an came directly to the door, and the planned plan to leave for Fujian tomorrow obviously failed. It is not known what Zhu Ping'an's intention is. But the truth that those who come are not good and those who are good do not come understand it.

You must know that this is Dengzhou, Zhu Ping'an has any ideas in his life, and he can't resist it with these personal hands.

As soon as he looked up and saw Shi Lang covered in dust at the door, Zheng Sen suddenly became angry, Zhu Ping'an came to the door, he even dared to fight against him with a knife, didn't he come to the door in trouble?

"Someone, tie up that Shi Dalang for me, dare to stop Master Zhu with a weapon, and give me a heavy fifty whips to set an example!"

"Slow!" Zhu Ping'an put down the teacup and shouted slowly. The few men who pressed Shi Lang to the ground and were about to tie it up were stunned, and they all looked at Zheng Sen.

Zheng Sen was also stunned.

"This young man is loyal to the Lord, but he is very angry with the official, since he made an unintentional mistake, the official will ask for a favor for him. If the eldest prince doesn't like it, he might as well hand him over to the official, it seems that being a personal soldier or something, it is quite competent. I just don't know if the eldest prince can cut his love? ”R1152
