Twelve days later, the ship arrived in Nanchang.

Zhou Xingzu and Li Shishi got off the boat and boarded the car, and the group lived in King Ning's mansion.

Li Shishi, as the lord of Ning Wang, immediately went to return to King Ning's mansion after returning to King Ning's mansion.

Zhou Xingzu was arranged into the guest room of King Ning's Mansion, and after bathing and changing clothes in the room, he changed into a green shirt, pushed open the door, stood in the courtyard and sighed, stretching his waist.

He found that the dozens of rooms in this courtyard were full of people, including scribes with feather fan champions and warriors with elite bodies. It can be seen that King Ning is very polite and virtuous.

According to the proclamation of his subordinates, King Ning will hold a banquet in the palace in the evening, and invite all the guests to the banquet to talk about poetry.

Although it is under the banner of talking about poetry, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this banquet must be an assessment.

After all, King Ning is doing big things, and no matter how thirsty he is, he will not reuse some waste materials.

According to the usual experience, anyone who fails the assessment will be given ten taels of silver for the carriage and horse, where to go back. Only those who pass the assessment and are valued will be entrusted with their positions and stay in the Ning Wang's Mansion.

The scribes and warriors in the courtyard each formed several small circles, probing each other's details, and by the way, they got together to discuss the previous banquets.

Zhou Xingzu's ears moved, and he listened to their words. It seems that King Ning will hold a banquet every once in a while to gather people's hearts and assess the scholars. These people have actually accumulated experience, and it is not a secret that King Ning is plotting to rebel.

Although this was a mistake, Zhou Xingzu didn't care too much. After all, Nanchang and the capital are thousands of miles apart, and no matter how big a move King Ning makes in the fiefdom, it is difficult to hear the news in the capital. In addition, Ning Wangfu has money to open the way, and hundreds of officials in the court will not be idle and bored, and they will mix a small book with the gold owner if they have nothing to do. If the money owners who gave the money are all relied upon, what is the point of this official?

What's more, suing a prince is still a powerful prince with power all over the south, and the political risks are huge. It is too difficult to find such a stunned person from the Taihe Hall full of wall grass. Even if it is written, it may not be handed over to the emperor.

As for Emperor Zhengde, he really doesn't know King Ning's objection?

Hehe!

East Factory, West Factory, Jinyiwei, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps, not to mention the newly established Leopard Park.

Zhou Xingzu believed that what he should know, Emperor Zhengde definitely knew clearly. It's just that King Ning is far away in Nanchang, and his power has spread all over the south earlier, and Emperor Zhengde pretended not to know.

Now that Emperor Zhengde has just succeeded to the throne, if he wants to stabilize the throne, it is absolutely impossible to attack King Ning at this time.

Perhaps King Ning took a fancy to this, so he would be vigorous during this period of time, wanting to seize the last opportunity.

They're all human spirits.

Zhou Xingzu sighed, and the look of seeing through the world made several scribes next to him take two steps back.

Just now they saw Zhou Xingzu's extraordinary bearing, and they thought it was a famous man who wanted to come up and make friends. Unexpectedly, Zhou Xingzu was alone, standing in the courtyard, yawning and stretching, shaking his head and sighing, looking like he was mentally retarded, and they turned around and left in fright.

Zhou Xingzu saw this group of celebrities, sighed indifferently, opened the folding fan in a chic manner, and gave himself a fan comfortably. Although none of the people who can be invited into the palace by King Ning will be unknowns, he really has no plans to get together with this group of scribes.

After all, this is a martial arts world, and he is preparing to take the route of a martial arts master, and it is too cheap to get together with a bunch of scribes.

But when he waved his coquettish folding fan and was about to chat with a group of warriors, the warriors all showed disgust at him.

Most of them are Ming Jin cultivators, and there are only two or three internal strength masters. In their opinion, Zhou Xingzu, who has a sassy face, is not a figure in the same circle as them at all.

Zhou Xingzu read the meaning in the eyes of the warriors, his footsteps suddenly stopped, looked up at the sky, and the sparrows in the trees spread their wings and flew high.

Sure enough, it's a group of guys who have no eyesight, and he doesn't want to worry too much, it's good to look at the scenery.

When the time came, the banquet had been set up in the main hall of King Ning's Mansion.

Li Shishi came to the guest courtyard and introduced a group of scribes and warriors into the main hall.

He talked and laughed with Zhou Xingzu along the way, which invisibly made Zhou Xingzu the first among all the scholars. It especially shows the weight of Zhou Xingzu in his heart. This made the other scholars secretly look at it, and they were not angry in their hearts, why did a guy who only looked up at sparrows walk in front of them?

After walking for a few quarters of an hour, everyone went around many places, pavilions, and pavilions before coming to the main hall of the palace.

Looking up, the main hall of the palace is six zhang high and more than ten meters wide.

The hall is covered with a fine Persian blanket, the first wooden chair, and a middle-aged nobleman wearing a brocade robe and embroidered with python patterns is sitting.

King Ning was not arrogant at all, he had been waiting in the main hall for a long time, and when he saw the scholars coming, he got up and pretended to greet him. At this time, the scholars had already crossed the threshold, stepped on the weak blankets in the main hall, and saluted King Ning first.

Zhou Xingzu was also in the saluting crowd, and he stood at the front.

King Ning laughed and lifted the scholars standing in the front row, whether they were scribes or warriors, one by one.

"You're welcome, tonight's banquet is not drunk and you don't return, talk about poetry and songs, and talk about the ancient and modern world." Corporal Ning Wang Lixian's style is full, and this courtesy has made many scholars yearn for him.

As soon as he waved his hand, Li Shishi took the scholars and sat down on both sides of the main hall behind dozens of tables.

The scribes and warriors spread out in a clear way, with the scribes sitting on the left hand side and the warriors sitting on the right hand side. This is the rule of the wine banquet in King Ning's Mansion, and they have already found out before.

Li Shishi sat in the first seat on the left, which shows his status as the "master" in King Ning's mansion. Sitting on the right-hand side is a strong man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, whose name has not been revealed for the time being.

Zhou Xingzu also sat down obediently with everyone, kneeling behind the desk with etiquette, rolling up his sleeves and putting his hands in front of him. If you are rude on this occasion, you will immediately be labeled as a "marketman", go back to sell sweet potatoes as soon as possible, and don't think about making a big deal.

"Open the feast." King Ning saw that all the scholars were sitting down, and clapped his hands. The maids took wooden plates one by one, served the wine and food from the canteen, and put the delicate dishes in front of the tables of the gentlemen.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of maids in the main hall came and went like flowing water, serving food and pouring wine for the scholars.

The moment Zhou Xingzu sat down, he found that the second ring of the plot task [Meet King Ning] had been completed. However, the third ring story quest has not yet been triggered.

However, when everyone's eyes were staring at the glamorous maid in King Ning's mansion, Zhou Xingzu saw a familiar figure behind King Ning.
