When Zheng Gui heard this, the hand held by Yu Chi Jiming suddenly trembled obviously, and the muscles on his face twitched twice involuntarily, and said: "It turned out to be the daughter of the martial arts alliance leader, disrespectful, disrespectful." ”

Zheng Miao then said: "These people I bring are used to being powerful, even if they want to cause trouble in the capital, I am afraid that it will not look good if there is friction between my temperance head and the elite soldiers under my uncle." Uncle is seriously ill now, why bother with these idle things, or hurry back to rest, I can also tell my uncle what my father said. ”

After that, Zheng Miao pouted and said, "Ji Ming, why don't you hurry up and help the prince of Lingnan to get into the sedan chair and escort him back?" He waved his hand again and said, "The army is following closely, don't make a noise, if you startle the prince of Lingnan, his old man is merciful and unwilling to punish you, but I will be punished according to military law!" ”

Zheng Gui still wanted to refuse, but thinking that there was a master standing next to him who was said to be no less skilled than Chi Lianghong, the chief captain of the Wulin League, and knew that if he accidentally caused a conflict for a while, he would be the first to be injured or even killed.

So Zheng Gui said: "Then please follow me into the city, but the walled city is too small and I don't take care of it, and I ask for forgiveness." But there was an unfathomable wooden expression on his face, which made it impossible to guess his original intention.

Zheng Gui's statement that "the walled city is too small" is too humble.

After Qiu Yizhi led the army into the city, he found that in this walled city, except for a palace main hall, several villa gardens, and three or two military camp warehouses, the rest of the places were playgrounds and grasslands, and the site was very wide. Therefore, it is not said that the eighteen pro-soldiers, two hundred township warriors and more than twenty honor guards brought by Qiu Yizhi are enough to multiply the number of more than 200 people several times.

So Qiu Yi carefully observed the terrain in the city, and at the same time summoned Zhao Chengxiao and ordered: "Brother Zhao, I'm afraid we will stay in this tiger's den today, you have to be careful, don't be eaten by tigers!" ”

As he was talking, Zheng Miao, the third highness who was walking side by side with Zheng Gui, the king of Lingnan, had stopped, followed by Qiu Yizhi, who also stood on his feet, raised his eyes, and saw that he did not stop in front of the palace hall in the middle of the stone city, but stood at the door of a quiet villa.

The master of the stone city, Zheng Gui, the king of Lingnan, was hugged by Zheng Yu and Wei Chi Jiming on the left and right, turned his head and said to Zheng Miao: "The old man is here to recuperate, if His Royal Highness does not give up, how about going in and drinking a bowl of tea?" It's just that the old man's house smells too good, so I'm afraid that it will smoke His Highness. ”

Zheng Miao hurriedly nodded and said, "That's natural." When the little nephew left Beijing, his father gave a large message to his uncle! ”

Zheng Gui nodded and said, "Then please come in!" ”

This villa is the private residence of the vassal king, and unless invited by the vassal king, even a first-class member and the emperor's relatives are not allowed to enter. Wei Chi Jiming, who was supporting Zheng Gui on the side, said that he was just a flat-headed commoner, and he was a girl's house, so of course he couldn't enter, so he had to let go of his hand and let King Lingnan step into the door step by step.

Without a martial arts master like Yu Chi Jiming by his side, he was as calm and calm as Zheng Miao and didn't feel a little weak-hearted, but he couldn't show weakness in his imperial order, so he had to walk to the house.

Qiu Yizhi was afraid that there was some kind of ambush in the house, so he hurriedly glanced at Wei Chi Jiming and Zhao Chengxiao, shook the Western Regions Treasure Knife in his hand, and followed him into the house.

However, I saw that the room of King Lingnan was quite large, but the furnishings were extremely simple, except for a couch placed against the wall, there were only two chairs and a few other simple furniture, which made the huge room seem empty.

Zheng Gui, the king of Lingnan, was half-lying down on the couch with the support of his second son Zheng Yu, but when he saw that in addition to the three Zheng children, another person came in, so he said, "Who are you?" Now a few of our closest relatives are talking, how dare you come in? Didn't the Third Highness teach you etiquette? The tone was rather stiff and tough.

Qiu Yizhi first talked to the king of Lingnan, and he was reprimanded, which aroused a sense of arrogance in his heart, so he gave up his hand and said: "In the next Qiu Yizhi, I have always been ......."

Zheng Miao knew the nature of Qiu Yizhi's righteous brother, and knew that he had always bullied the hard and afraid of the soft, so he was afraid that he would offend the King of Lingnan and make everyone unable to get off the stage, so he quickly took over the conversation: "He is the son of his father's emperor, and he has always been on an equal footing with my brothers, and he is more casual when talking to the emperor than our own sons!" If the uncle finds it inconvenient, it is okay to ask him to avoid it for a while. ”

Zheng Miao's words are hidden in the needle-one introduces Qiu Yizhi's identity, and the other shows that he is also a person who can speak in front of the emperor - Zheng Gui listened, speculating that even if his status as a vassal king is noble, it is not as good as the emperor, so it is not good to drive people out again, but said: "It turns out that this is the righteous son recognized by the emperor's brother, and he has admired it for a long time!" ”

Qiu Yizhi arched his hand again: "In Xiahuangkou, the prince of Lingnan said this, wouldn't he let him be ashamed of himself?" Although the meaning is polite, the tone is not weak.

"Where is the ......" Zheng Gui said while half-lying down, "His Royal Highness Yi is a talent, and the future is terrifying, and it has already been a statement. You were a small county magistrate in Shanyin County, first overthrowing the old assassin Shi Yin Chengliang, and then training troops to pacify the Japanese invaders, such a great reputation is even my little vassal king in the poor countryside, which is also deafening! It's a pity that there are only two seats in my room, and I'm afraid there is no place for His Highness to sit! ”

Qiu Yizhi wanted to refute again, but saw Zheng Miao next to him pull his sleeve hard, so he had to be silent, but he heard Zheng Miao say: "My brother does have some skills, even my father often praises him, and wants our brothers to learn from him." Oh, the uncle has said so much, I'm afraid I'm tired, do you want to ask someone outside to bring in a bowl of ginseng soup? ”

Zheng Miao said as she picked up a cushion resting on the soft collapse and stuffed it under Zheng Gui's shoulder with her own hands.

Zheng Gui listened to Zheng Miao's polite words, and his actions and behaviors were very decent, and most of the fire that had just been set up was immediately extinguished, and he sighed and said: "The old man refused to be left behind all his life, but I didn't expect that the old man was not in good health, and he actually ended up like this, which really made my nephew laugh." ”

Zheng Miao smiled: "Uncle's words are wrong. In life, who hasn't had a major illness or a small disaster? I think my uncle is very healthy, but there are only occasional minor illnesses, as long as he takes care of them, he will definitely recover as usual. ”

Zheng Gui smiled slightly when he heard this, waved his hand and said, "No, it's not as good as before!" Seeing that Zheng Miao was still standing and talking, he said, "Why is the Third Highness still standing?" Zheng Yu, why don't you give your third brother a seat? But he deliberately omitted Qiu Yizhi and did not mention it.

In fact, Qiu Yizhi felt that it was more convenient for him to stand, so he pressed the treasure knife to protect Zheng Miao's back, and listened to Lingnan King Zheng Gui say: "Neiko has been with the old man for more than 30 years, and his health has always been good, but he died suddenly after the year, and the old man was suddenly hit, so he couldn't afford to ......be sick."

Zheng Yu, the second son of the king of Lingnan, was finally ordered to move a chair to Zheng Miao's side, and gasped and continued: "Although my mother is not my biological mother, she has a nurturing feeling, and hearing such bad news is like five thunderbolts!" ”

Zheng Gui interrupted Zheng Yu halfway through his words and said, "The old man is talking to the Third Highness, how can you intervene?" Sit on the side for me, don't speak. ”

Zheng Yu was taken aback, quickly closed his mouth, shook his head and moved to the chair, sat next to his father's couch, lowered his head and didn't dare to say half a word more.

Zheng Miao felt a little strange when he saw this, but it was inconvenient to delve into it, so he only said: "When Uncle Wang was young, he was also a figure galloping among thousands of troops, and his physical foundation must be excellent, so he had to be carefully raised, and he would definitely recover immediately." ”

"Then it's a lot of good nephews!" Zheng Gui said, "But I don't know how the Holy Dragon Body is? ”

Before Zheng Miao left Beijing, his father Zheng Rong was feeling cold, although he was not seriously ill and there was no major problem, but he had snot and tears on his face, so although he did not stop reviewing the chapters, he had not been to the court for several days.

However, Emperor Zheng Rong's body is the first secret matter of the imperial center, and it must not be mentioned in front of Zheng Gui. So Zheng Miao thought for a while, arched his hand and said: "The state affairs are huge, and the emperor is a person who must bow to everything, and he often says that if he didn't refine a good body when he was young, he would have to be dragged down and sick." Speaking of which, my father often blamed our sons for not being able to share their worries for our father. I also lamented that there was no reliable helper around me. Whenever I hear this, my three brothers really want to dig a hole in the ground and get into the ground. ”

Zheng Gui moved his body: "The emperor is also full of talents." Not to mention a few nephews, the prime minister Zhong Likuang and Marshal Dai Luanxiang in front of him are also unique figures. is my third brother, although he doesn't ask about the political situation of the imperial court, he is a person with real talent and learning, and the imperial brother can ask him to go out of the mountain to assist, which must also come in handy. ”

Zheng Miao immediately said: "Actually, Prince Heluo is already helping his father with his errands. Although he did not lead any specific affairs, he often walked around for the court in the Shilin, and made great efforts to win the hearts of the scholars for the court! ”

Zheng Gui was a little surprised when he heard this: he was very familiar with his third brother, Zheng Hua, the king of Heluo, although he was a royal prince and indeed had great talents, he was unwilling to show up to participate in the affairs of the imperial court, and he read too much and was contaminated with some book business, so he was even more soft and hard - he had such a temper, even when the first emperor was there, he couldn't do anything about him, if he was willing to go out of the mountain to do things for the court, he must be happy and convinced, and he was willing to serve the emperor Zheng Rong.

Thinking of this, Zheng Gui felt a sour feeling in his heart, but he didn't want to show it, so he only said: "That's good, that's good." ”

But I heard Zheng Miao say again: "But the emperor said that he is now more than Wen Tao and not enough martial arts, although he has the assistance of Prince Heluo, it is still a fly in the ointment." ”

When Zheng Gui heard this, he couldn't help frowning tightly, squirmed, and said, "The old man doesn't understand this very well. The emperor is my own brother, and the old man knows best how much he has the ability. The emperor was born as a prince who led troops to fight, and he guarded the bitter cold land of Youyan for the imperial court for more than ten years. Let's just say that a few years ago, the emperor ...... The emperor's rebellion was also a complete victory, and it can be said that the sword is not old. How can we talk about the lack of martial arts? ”

Zheng Miao was waiting for this, so he quickly took over the conversation: "Uncle Wang's words are on the joints." Uncle Fang Cai said that before the emperor ascended to the pole, he was the king of Youyan who guarded the northern frontier for the imperial court, and since his old man inherited Sheji, the north is inevitably empty. When I left Beijing, my father said to me, although Youyan Road is temporarily guarded by my third brother. However, my father commented on my third brother, saying that he was not a talent for domination, and could only barely maintain it, and he had absolutely no talent for opening up territory. Therefore—"
