Xiao Qiongzhi nodded again, "I know, it's my mother's maiden Chu Mansion." ”

"Which Chu Mansion?"

"It's the Chu Mansion that was Tanhua in high school last year and Chu Yunqing."

"Okay, I see." After Zheng Yuan finished speaking, he looked at the thirteen-year-old boy opposite.

He bowed deeply to the other party, and whispered earnestly, "His Royal Highness the Prince, Zhou Dayong is an excellent student, and now he has an accident, I am very worried, you see"

"Needless to say, saving people is like fighting fire, our Chu country, internal and external troubles are serious, and we must not tolerate or connive at the small people who affect local stability to make trouble."

"I'll accompany you to see Xu Nian and let him take us into Chu Mansion to see what's going on!" The young man interrupted Zheng Yuan's words and said in a deep voice.

It seems a bit nosy.

Just now, Zheng Yuan called him the crown prince, and now, he said "our Chu State", it can be seen that it should be the prince of Chu State.

It's just that now, the state of Chu and the state of Qi are in a big war.

As the prince of Chu State, he didn't want to stay in Chu Jing, and he actually ran to such an inconspicuous small place as Dingzi County, what was the purpose?

It won't be the same as Liang Qiu and Liang Kun, it's also for the sake of study tours!

Xiao Qiongzhi was a little puzzled.

"Yes, His Royal Highness Prince Xie!" Zheng Yuan seemed very happy.

He turned his head, looked at Xiao Qiongzhi, pointed at Prince Zhao, and said with a smile, "This is His Royal Highness Prince Zhao of our Chu State, little girl, come and greet His Royal Highness Prince Zhao!" ”

"Hello, His Royal Highness the Prince!" Xiao Qiongzhi hurriedly learned from Zheng Yuan's appearance just now, and bowed deeply to the young Prince Zhao.

"Can you tell me where the wolf meat sold by your second uncle came from?" Prince Zhao calmly accepted Xiao Qiongzhi's bow, and asked with some curiosity.

At this time, Zheng Yuan had already begun to be in front, leading Prince Zhao and rushing to the county office.

The four guards with knives behind Prince Zhao, two on the side and two in the back, guarded him closely.

Xiao Qiongzhi was stopped and walked at the rear.

In order to let Prince Zhao hear her answer clearly, she had to say loudly as she walked, "In the mountains of the village next door to us, there were wolves that hurt people yesterday, and my uncle and my second uncle happened to take me to the mountains to hunt wild boars. ”

"Today, they took me and an aunt who lived in my house, and planned to bring the wolf they shot to the county to sell it for money, and help me realize my wish to support 30 children in the township next year and come to the county with me to study in the county."

"Do you plan to support thirty children in the township next year and come to the county with you to study in the county school?" Prince Zhao suddenly turned his head, raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xiao Qiongzhi, and asked with a look of disbelief.

"Yes." Xiao Qiongzhi nodded affirmatively.

Afraid that he wouldn't believe it, Xiao Qiongzhi specially explained, "Our family respects my willingness very much, my uncle and my second uncle are because they know that the tuition and living expenses of the county school are very high, and I have to support thirty children in the township, which is not easy, so they will think of hunting and selling money to support me." ”

"It's good that you can have this heart, but how much can you sell for hunting? This is not the right way at all, what nonsense! Prince Zhao was not optimistic about this approach, and looked at her mildly, shaking his head.

Zheng Yuan didn't think so.

He gently reminded Prince Zhao, "His Royal Highness the Prince, the price of meat in our county is very expensive now!" ”

"Now the ordinary pork, the county will sell it for one or three dollars a pound of silver, and wild boar meat and wolf meat are rare things, and they will definitely be sold more expensively, even if a wild boar is only a hundred catties, it is worth at least more than a hundred taels of silver."

"I know that pork is expensive, but the problem is that wild boars and wolves live deep in the mountains and mountains, and they are not easy to find."

"Moreover, they live in groups and go out together, this little girl's uncle and second uncle are only two people, and they should not be their opponents at all!" Prince Zhao analyzed carefully.

"That's just as well." What the young man said was reasonable, and Zheng Yuan couldn't refute it.

He had noticed that Zhou Dayong's academic performance in riding and archery swords was very average.

Unless Xiao Qiongzhi's uncle is good at riding and shooting swords, otherwise, the two of them alone will indeed not be the opponent of the wild boar and the wolf at all.

At this time, the group had almost reached the gate of the courtyard.

Xiao Qiongzhi quickened his pace and ran towards Zheng Bang, who was guarding there.

Zheng Bang had clearly heard Xiao Qiongzhi's conversation with Zheng Yuan and Prince Zhao just now.

He first saluted Zheng Yuan and Prince Zhao, and then squatted down and picked up Xiao Qiongzhi.

Xiao Qiongzhi took the opportunity to point at him, and told Zheng Yuan and Prince Zhao with a smile, "This is my uncle, a few days ago, he took me in the deep mountains and shot a big tiger of about 700 catties and a big wild boar of 700 catties, and yesterday, he took me and my second uncle to shoot a group of wolves in the deep mountains." ”

"So, two days ago, you and your uncle sold tiger meat to the 'Fuguijia' restaurant?" Zheng Yuan immediately asked in surprise.

Regarding the "Fuguijia" restaurant, the matter of selling tiger meat two days ago, in the past two days, the streets and alleys have been talking about it, and he has also heard about it.

"Yes." Xiao Qiongzhi nodded.

"Your uncle is a big hero, but Chu Yunqing used to be my student, and I didn't hear him say that he once had such an amazing brother." Zheng Yuan was a little puzzled.

"My uncle is the eldest son of my grandmother's cousin, Aunt Ling Yuanniang." Xiao Qiongzhi replied without thinking.

Regarding Zheng Bang's identity and origin, Zheng has already unified his voice with Chu Yunniang and Xiao Qiongzhi, and there will be no problems.

"I see." Zheng Yuan believed it and didn't ask any more.

From the conversation between Zheng Yuan and Xiao Qiongzhi just now, Prince Zhao heard that Zheng Bang really had the ability to shoot wild boars and wolves, and he could also shoot tigers.

He asked curiously, "Your uncle, how did you shoot the tiger?" ”

"That's the ......" Xiao Qiongzhi hurriedly told the truth about the experience at that time.

Prince Zhao listened with relish, and asked curiously, "Then your uncle, how did you take you and your second uncle to shoot the wolf?" ”

"That's the ......," Xiao Qiongzhi hurriedly continued.

Prince Zhao listened carefully and became even more curious.

He looked at Zheng Bang and asked with a serious face, "Great hero, now that my Chu State is in danger, you are so good at kung fu, why don't you serve the country in the army?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I and you are from the Chu State, but from the Zheng State. I came to your Chu country to protect my cousin Chu Yunniang's mother and daughter, and I have no intention of participating in the dispute between you and Chu. Zheng Bang replied lightly.

"If I am willing to help you protect Chu Yunniang's mother and daughter, are you willing to serve my Chu State?" Prince Zhao didn't give up and asked again.

"My relatives, I want to protect them personally, I will not leave my brother-in-law Zhou Dazhi until he returns from the army, thank you for your kindness." Zheng Bang politely refused.

Prince Zhao's face immediately sank, and he looked a little unhappy.

Xiao Qiongzhi was afraid that he would not be able to think about it for a while, and he would do something unfavorable to Zheng Bang, so he hurriedly reminded him, "His Royal Highness the Prince, not long ago, the return of Yan Guo was already one step ahead of you and asked my uncle to serve him, but my uncle also replied like this." ”

"You see, this is the jade plate that was specially given to my uncle when I returned to the king." As he spoke, Xiao Qiongzhi took out the jade plate that Menghui had returned to Zheng Bang from his arms and showed it to Prince Zhao.
