It is not for nothing that everyone in the world thinks that Zhu Houzhao is a faint monarch, and Xiao Zhuojun must have his strong strength, otherwise he would not be so well-known.

The captain of Jinyi hurriedly got on his horse and sent a mediocre holy decree to Jiujiang Mansion in Jiangxi.

Ting Gan Governor Wang Shengren has just experienced two years of degrading life ordeals, and finally made a comeback, it is when he is full of ambition and is eager to stretch his ambitions, when he comes back from his beautiful ambitions, he will definitely find how cruel the reality is, hate only to hate being born at the wrong time, and let him stand up to such a faint king.

The Son of Heaven drove the army forward slowly, and Wang Shouren, who was in Jiujiang Mansion, would soon wait for the most annoying holy decree in his life.

The army marched south, and Zhu Houzhao's first destination was not Jiangxi, but Nanjing.

Zhu Chenhao has 100,000 troops, of course, this number may have moisture, and the amount of moisture depends on the thickness of his skin, but Zhu Houzhao did not dare to be negligent, this was the first battle in his life, and if he wanted to complete it beautifully, he must first have an advantage.

Relying only on the 20,000 horses in Beijing is far from enough, fortunately, Wei Guogong in Nanjing has been ordered to mobilize the troops of the various guards of Nanzhili and assemble them outside Nanjing in batches.

Zhu Houzhao put on the correct attitude of counterinsurgency, and he was playful by nature, facing the scenery and customs and customs that he had never seen along the way, he did not linger, and he did not have the slightest interest in playing, except for rushing to camp and rest. I have to say that Zhu Houzhao in the army looks quite a bit of a famous general's temperament, whether it is marching or camping, he is well arranged, although most of these arrangements are contained in the military book, lacking a little flexibility, but as a leading commander, he has done a very good job.

Zhu Hui, the protector of the army, and several other founding marquis were quite surprised by Zhu Houzhao's performance, and at first they praised perfunctory and hypocritical, but at the end they were already sincerely admired. Even Qin Kan couldn't help but look at him with admiration.

There were no words on the march all the way. The 20,000-strong army went out of Beijing, crossed Shandong, entered the south and Zhili, and walked from the north to the south. More than 20 days later. The army finally reached the city of Nanjing.

The towering Nanjing city wall is in sight. Everyone secretly exhaled a breath, under the city wall, the chief official of the six yamen of Nanjing and the eunuch guarding the town. Xu Li, the Duke of Wei, who has guarded Nanjing for generations, and nearly 100 hereditary nobles of Nanjing stood at the entrance of the city gate, respectfully welcoming the Son of Heaven.

Less than a mile away from the city gate, Zhu Hou took off his war horse and walked towards the city gate, his golden armor shining dazzlingly in the sun.

Approaching the city gate, the ministers knelt down, the mountain shouted long live, Zhu Houzhao looked at the Nanjing city wall curiously, smiled and made the ministers flat, and then met these officials of the six departments of Nanjing who were actually unambitious.

When he walked in front of Wei Guogong, Xu Lao Guogong looked excited and bowed down tremblingly, but was hugged by Zhu Houzhao with a smile.

Zhu Houzhao looked at Old Duke Xu's eyes flashed with a hint of warmth.

First of all, the Xu family's loyalty to the royal family is undoubted, and secondly, in terms of blood, the ancestors of the Xu family are the founding marshal Xu Da, and Xu Da's daughter married the Yongle Emperor as the main family, which is what the world calls "Queen Xu". This grace is beyond Qin Kan's reach.

The reason why Xu Pengju Xu Xiaogong broke into the famous reputation of the number one bully in Nanjing City, even Jinyiwei and Dongchang said that they would smash it, and the factory guard had no way to take him, not only did he not even dare to sue, but he had to nod and smile when he met. Just because the factory guard also knows that the weight of the Xu family in the hearts of the Ming emperors in the past dynasties is unmatched, and a lawsuit may be given a resounding slap in the face by His Majesty.

When the monarch and the ministers saw the ceremony, Qin Kan silently looked up at the majestic Nanjing city wall, and he was also a little excited in his heart.

Nanjing, the first stop of Qin Kan's glorious life, the commander of the Jinyi Wei at that time made Mu Bin couldn't help but say, a paper order to insert his weak scholar into the Jinyi Wei, and transferred him to Nanjing Dongcheng 100 households, since then, Qin Kan is destined to have an inseparable relationship with this era, in the past few years, all the way to the promotion of the knight, who would have expected that a small Jinyi Wei 100 households, a few years later, became the helmsman of the entire Ming Jinyi Guard, and the title of the Duke of the country, Receiving the unparalleled grace of two generations of emperors?

Regardless of success or failure, there seems to be an invisible hand behind the background that pushes itself, or pushes itself to the peak, or pushes itself off the cliff.

At the gate of the city, Zhu Houzhao was busy catching up with Xu Laoguogong, and Qin Kan was also busy.

A familiar face fell into view, Qin Kan's old boss at the beginning, Lei Hong, who was later promoted to Nanzhen Fusi because of Chongming's anti-Japanese resistance, was wearing a big red flying fish brocade robe at the moment, standing slightly cramped and uneasy not far from Qin Kan, seeing Qin Kan looking at him with a smile, Lei Hong's old face turned red, and he hurriedly stepped forward to bow down.

"Xiaguan Nanzhen Fusi Zhen Fu Lei Hong, see Grandpa Qin."

Behind Lei Hong, a large group of brocade-robed brocade guards followed and bowed.

Qin Kan smiled and asked everyone to get up, and then smiled with Lei Hong.

Among the many people, Lei Hong's emotions are probably the most complicated.

The former subordinates, after a few years, became the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and for the first time sealed the title of Duke of the country, God knows how many years the Ming Dynasty has not been crowned the Duke of the country, Lei Hong still remembers that the weak scholar just came to Nanjing, wearing a set of ill-fitting flying fish robes to visit him in a thousand households, to be honest, Lei Hong was very disdainful of this scholar in his heart, and in the brocade guard full of vulgar martial artists, there was suddenly such a scholar who could not pick up his hand and could not lift it, when he received the order of the official, Rayon felt as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly alive.

However, it was this weak scholar who gradually impressed him with his performance and befriended Grandpa Xu. With the sons and daughters of the lords of the city, even he Lei Hong has to accompany the smiling faces of the gentlemen in Nanjing City, Qin Kan can be very grinning with them shoulder to shoulder and scold his mother, what is even more unbelievable is that in the desperate situation of the anti-Japanese war on Chongming Island and the defeat of Shaoxing Wei, this weak scholar picked up the spear and led the remaining brothers to sacrifice their lives to stab out the first shot......

It's hard to imagine that this seemingly weak scholar hides a character that is as unyielding and fierce as fire. Since then. Lei Hong was already sure that this young man's future was limitless, much bigger than anyone else's.

A few years later, it was just as Lei Hong expected. This weak scholar soared into the sky. has reached a height that his former old boss can't reach in ten lifetimes. Even Ding Shun, Li Er, and others, who were once subordinates of the Hundred Households, also followed the rise and became the most popular people in power in the Jinyi Guard.

Life encounters. Catch or lose, the difference is clear at a glance, Lei Hong often regrets it, if he followed Qin Kan to Beijing with his heart at the beginning, today's him, the future is more than a small pacification?

Qin Kan didn't know that Lei Hong had mixed feelings in his heart at this moment, and after chatting cordially with many of Nanjing's Jinyi Wei subordinates, his heart suddenly moved, and he looked left and right in the crowd for the familiar figure that was flying and domineering but very cute.

To his disappointment, among the many nobles and officials who greeted him, he didn't see Xu Pengju's shadow.

Just thinking about whether to go into the city to find him, the old Duke Xu, who had finished talking to Zhu Houzhao on the other side, walked towards Qin Kan tremblingly.

Although when he was in Shaoxing and Nanjing before, Qin Kan was stained with the light of Old Duke Xu more than once, and he pulled the tiger skin of Duke Wei as a banner without any scruples, but today Qin Kan saw Old Man Xu for the first time, and he wanted to see him before, but his identity at that time was too far away, and he didn't have that qualification at all.

Seeing the old man looking at him with a smile in his eyes, his seemingly cloudy old eyes flashed from time to time with a sharp light that was not commensurate with his old age, and Qin Kan also smiled.

It is said that the old man and the young man of the Wei State Mansion are bastards, occupying fields and enclosures on weekdays, bullying men and women, and the officials of the Beijing Division participate in the impeachment of the ancestors and grandchildren every year is at least a foot thick, but after Qin Kan saw the old man today, he found that this old man did not match the rumors, an old bastard who only knew how to occupy the field and kick the hall in the fish and meat township, his eyes would never show such a sharp knife-like look.

Qin Kan smiled and sighed, he understood very well Old Man Xu, a prince who held military power, if he behaved too well, and often did something arrogant, I am afraid that the emperors of previous dynasties would not be too relieved of him, the old man's philosophy of life is worth learning......

"Senior Qin Kan, meet Old Master Xu......" Qin Kan bowed and saluted Xu Li.

Xu Li's old eyes narrowed, a little surprised, everyone is the same country, he obviously didn't expect Qin Kan to give him junior etiquette, after a little thought, Xu Li understood what happened, this young man had a good relationship with his Xu Li's baby grandson, and this junior etiquette was nine times out of ten because of Xu Pengju.

Cast it with peach and plum, repay it with Qiong Yao, Xu Li is also an old man, and immediately laughed and patted Qin Kan's shoulder: "What old man is not an old man, call grandpa!" Bastard boy, don't think that you are the old man of the country and can't command you, the old man hasn't settled accounts with you for all the you did under the banner of the Duke of Wei back then. ”

Qin Kan was embarrassed, and hurriedly changed his words: "The kid greets Grandpa Xu." ”

"Hey, that's right, in the future, I will be close to that muddy boy in my family, and that kid will cause trouble all day long, which makes the old man very uncomfortable......"

Qin Kan's cheeks twitched, and he wanted to point out bluntly that your ability to make trouble is not weaker than your grandson......

After hesitating for a moment, Qin Kan asked the old man about Xu Pengju, and the old man snorted very dissatisfied, and casually pointed at the Qinhuai River in the distance.

Staring at the direction of the old man's finger, Qin Kan smiled, he roughly knew what Young Master Xu was doing at the moment.

…………

…………

On the bank of the Qinhuai River in the eastern suburbs of Nanjing, a small pavilion called Wuliu Pavilion stands in the willow forest of Fuyao by the river, Wuliu Pavilion is a famous spot in Jinling, every spring is warm and autumn is cool, the catkins are flying like snow, Jinling visitors often call friends to gather in Wuliu Pavilion, taste wine and enjoy the scenery and chant poetry, it is really the extreme elegance, many famous people and writers have also left a quatrain in Wuliu Pavilion, which has attracted countless people in the world to admire and respect.

Today's Wuliu Pavilion has absolutely nothing to do with the word "Ya", but it is very appropriate to describe it as "dove occupies the magpie's nest".

Qin Kan walked on the embankment of the Qinhuai River with his hands in his hands, and heard the noisy shouting and scolding from the Wuliu Pavilion from a long distance, and one of the very familiar voices was the loudest.

Qin Kan showed a warm smile, his steps were a little hurried, and he walked outside the Wuliu Pavilion, as expected, more than a dozen thugs of the Xungui family outside the door were guarding the door like vicious dogs, and saw a noble son surrounded by countless murderous guards, and entered the pavilion like a gambling sweep away......

Xu Pengju's image at the moment is very bad, or he has no image at all on the gambling table, a luxurious Susi shirt was crumpled into a ball and thrown in the corner of the second floor of the pavilion, Xu Pengju was wearing a white shirt, holding a handful of delicately made cards, his eyes were red and staring at the cards without blinking, and his face flashed a little fierce murderous aura from time to time, but his complexion was a little gray after all, and it could be seen at a glance that this guy had lost a lot of money, and the long-suppressed bad cards had faintly raised their heads.

Xu Pengju's card friends are all nobles in Nanjing City, and they are all old acquaintances of Qin Kan, Ning Yuanhou, Cheng Shanbo, Wu Jingbo, and half of Nanjing City's gentlemen and nobles are all concentrated here......

"Bet, all the bets on Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu tells you, this little master will be sent, and it will be very fatal, eat Lao Tzu, all to Lao Tzu spit out......" Xu Pengju stared nervously at the cards in his hand, muttering like chanting in his mouth.

"Zhao Chengqing, you dog thing, you put down a hundred taels when you ate Lao Tzu just now, this little master is lucky, you only bet ten taels, what do you mean? Do you look down on the master? ”

Wu Jingbo Zhao Chengqing obviously lost a lot, and rolled his eyes when he heard this: "You don't care how much I bet, Lao Tzu has no money, can't you?" ”

"Dog, you wait, after this trick, the master will beat you up and then continue to play...... Hey, by the way, you caught a lustful cook on East Street last month, right? Q: Did you get a result? Does the chef make pizza at all? ”

When it came to pizza, the little grandfather, who was very engaged, couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Zhao Chengqing snorted: "Don't mention it, what kind of pizza, the cook has never heard of it at all, he said that the people of Semu have never seen this thing for generations......

Xu Pengju was stunned for a moment, and then his expression became extremely disappointed, even more angry than losing money: "Haven't you seen it? How can it be? It's obviously a Fanbang thing, but the cook refuses to recruit him, turns around and continues to smoke him, and doesn't make pizza for the master, and the master dismantles the bones of his whole body one by one...... Hey, you bastards are stupid, bet! ”

Bang!

A heavy bag of silver was thrown on the gambling table, and a gentle and smiling voice came from behind Xu Peng.

"I'll bet a hundred taels on the little grandfather's dirty pants, and if you lose, you have to walk home with my bare ass and balls......"
