Hearing this, Xu Da nodded, then raised his head towards the river outside Chuzhou City, and fell into deep thought.

The white-clothed envoy was still chatting beside him: "If King Xiao Ming goes to today, he can go by boat at any time, not comfortable, and he can enjoy the scenery along the way, then it will naturally be great." ”

As soon as Xu Da heard this, he remembered the words of Zhu Yuanzhang of Wu Guogong, and a good idea suddenly popped up in his mind, so he said to the white-clothed messenger: "My lord, if Xiao Ming Wang Guo has this intention, please ask the adults to reply to the little Ming Wang, Wu Guogong is willing to build a few flower boats in Chuzhou City, and invite the best cooks near Chuzhou to serve Wu Guogong on the boat." ”

The white-clothed envoy couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Wu Guogong has such a grand intention, King Xiao Ming will naturally agree, but King Xiao Ming is young and vigorous, I hope that when the time comes, General Xu Da can also recruit some outstanding flower girls to accompany him, for King Xiao Ming to have fun during the banquet." ”

What does the flower lady mean, Xu Da was stunned for a moment, but recalling the sentence in front of the white-clothed messenger, King Xiao Ming was young and yang, and immediately understood what the white-clothed messenger Chen Hua Niang was referring to, the white-clothed messenger just said that King Xiaoming's behavior was also similar to that of the young man of Wuling.

As soon as he thought of this, Xu Da naturally suddenly realized and understood it thoroughly. He smiled and waved to the white-clothed envoy on the horse and said: "Don't worry, after I entered Chuzhou, I sent people to search the large and small green buildings in Chuzhou, and collected all the popular women with good looks and talents, gave enough silver, and told them to follow and serve His Royal Highness King Xiao Ming at any time. ”

"Hahaha, it's rare that Wu Guogong and General Xu bothered, I will present King Xiao Ming in person."

"Oh, that's thank you, I've traveled all the way, and I've been taken care of by adults, I don't know what to call adults." Xu Da asked deliberately.

"The cheap name is not worth mentioning, the contemptible surname is Li, and he just does things in front of King Xiao Ming." The white-clothed messenger said reservedly.

Xu Da took out an East Pearl from his arms, pressed it into the arms of the white-clothed messenger and said, "Lord Li, you are not shy, I hope Lord Li will accept it with a smile." ”

The white-clothed envoy hurriedly took out Dongzhu from his arms, made it look like he was going to return it to Xu Da, and said in an eager tone: "Lord Xu, this thing is very valuable, how can I bear it." ”

Xu Da saw that although he said so, he had already stopped playing with the East Pearl, and he already knew what this person meant, so he said to this person: "It's just a small thing, it's not a respect, not to mention that there will be something to trouble Lord Li in the future, so please ask Lord Li to accept this thing first." As he spoke, he curled up the palm of the white-clothed messenger's hand.

When the white-clothed envoy saw Xu Da being so kind, he also felt disrespectful, so he replied curtly: "General Xu encounters any tricky things in Chuzhou, you might as well come to me, brother will settle it for you." ”

"Then Xu Da thanked him in advance." Xu Da immediately made a gesture at Master Li.

The white-clothed envoy gave such a heavy gift from Xu Da, and he treated Xu Da differently and was extremely kind. The two walked slowly, laughing and laughing, and soon arrived at the gate of Chuzhou City.

The white-clothed envoy inspected the door number and said to the person guarding the door: "These people are ordered by Wu Guogong to come to Chuzhou to invite His Royal Highness King Xiao Ming to Ying Tian General Xu and his party, I was ordered to take them to the palace to see King Xiao Ming immediately, you don't have to check it, let it go immediately."

When the soldiers defending the city heard this, Ma Shan let this group of people enter the city of Chuzhou.

As soon as Xu Da entered the city, he immediately sent his subordinates to the Goolan Qinglou in Chuzhou to select talented women, and on the one hand, he sent some people to seek craftsmen and prepare to build several large ships.

Seeing that Xu Da's arrangements were orderly, the white-clothed envoy didn't feel very fond of it, and he attached a little more importance to Xu Da.

After arranging his subordinates, Xu Da galloped with the white-clothed messenger on the horse, and after a short run, he saw a majestic palace. Xu Da knew that it must have been in front of the palace where King Xiao Ming lived.

Sure enough, the white-clothed messenger brought Xu Da to the palace, and asked him to wait outside for a while, and he hurried into the palace with a few attendants at the door.

Xu Da waited for a while, but he was still silent, and secretly glanced inside, only to feel that there were many deep and heavy buildings inside, and there were countless of them, not a pair of guards with bright armor patrolling back and forth, obviously the guards were deep and strict, and it was impossible to look at them unusually.

After waiting for a while, he saw two rows of lanterns neatly moved to the side of the main hall from a place behind the light, and Xu Da knew that King Xiao Ming must be in the hall to see things.

Sure enough, I saw a white-faced eunuch in the palace who looked like a person running out in a hurry, glanced at it, and then fell on his own body.

The white-faced eunuch stepped up and saluted: "You are General Xu Da, who sat down with Wu Guogong in the sky." ”

Xu Da bowed and said: "Exactly, I was ordered by Wu Guogong to travel overnight, and rushed to Yingtian to welcome King Xiao Ming to Yingtian." ”

"Okay, since you are General Xu Da, please follow the old slave to meet His Royal Highness King Xiao Ming."

"Very good, I will accompany you to your highness." Xu Da hurriedly said.

The eunuch took Xu Da into the palace gate and went to the top of the main hall.

When he walked into the palace gate, Xu Da raised his head and took a look, only to see a young man wearing a king's crown sitting on the throne in the center, with a white face and a posture of not being angry but threatening.

Although it is not fearful, there is also a sense of majesty in it.

The old eunuch who brought him in quietly said, "When you get to the place, salute quickly." ”

When Xu Da heard this, he staggered forward a few steps, and then made a big salute, he was skillful in etiquette, and kneeling down like a ritual.

When he was kneeling and not moving, he suddenly said: "Xu Aiqing, hurry up." ”

Xu Da raised his head at this time, and a familiar face nodded at himself in the direction near his left side, obviously it was that Master Li.

Looking at his posture, there was no mistake in his salute just now, and Xu Da was a little relieved.

"General Xu, you are here today, but you were ordered by Wu Guogong to come to Chuzhou to bow to Yingtian?" The young man sitting in front of the Golden Throne asked.

Xu Da knelt down again and kowtowed and said: "That's right, Chen Youliang that dog thief intends to pour the country to attack Yingtian, Wu Guogong is afraid that he will not be able to control Yingtian's soldiers and horses, so he asked me to come to Chuzhou to kneel and ask King Xiao Ming to go to Yingtian, unify the power, and drive the expedition in person." ”

"Oh, what did Wu Guogong say to you before you came." King Xiao Ming asked again.

"Wu Guogong said to the last general, the current situation can only be cleaned up by King Xiao Ming's personal expedition, Wu Guogong has prepared a palace for King Xiao Ming in Yingtian, as long as King Xiao Ming arrives in Yingtian, Wu Guogong will naturally transfer all the power to command the army and the people to His Royal Highness King Xiao Ming."

"In this way, Wu Guogong is loyal."

"His Royal Highness King Xiao Ming, don't believe this person's clever words, how can Zhu Yuanzhang easily hand over Ying Tiancheng." The minister on the right side of King Xiao Ming came out and played.

"Lord Wang, I don't understand, you also agreed that King Xiao Ming wanted to go to Yingtian that day, why did Wu Guogong send someone to welcome King Xiao Ming to Yingtian, but you blocked it, what is your intention." Xu Da was extremely familiar when he heard the voice, and when he looked up, he saw that it was indeed Master Li who he had just met today.

"Master Li, this is not right, today is today, today is today, the situation is different, how can it be confused. On that day, Chuzhou was in an emergency, and Chuzhou dispatched soldiers and horses to Yingtian, but now it is different, even if King Xiao Ming stays in Chuzhou, he can control the battle situation remotely, not to mention the ancient saying, a monarch should not be taken lightly to the battle array, how can King Xiao Ming be light. What's more, the road is far away, if there is any situation on the road, it is difficult to be caught off guard for a while, it is better to wait for the weather to calm down, and the old minister is sending someone to send King Xiao Ming on the road. Lord Wang retorted.

"Okay, Lord Wang, your fox tail is finally exposed, His Royal Highness King Xiao Ming, according to the villain's opinion, Lord Wang is just greedy for life and afraid of death, and he is afraid of the enemy like a tiger, so even if he sends King Xiao Ming to Yingtian, he is also sitting in the rear, and I really can't understand how Lord Wang's greedy liver and gallbladder of fear of death are born." Master Li attacked.

"Xiao Ming Wang Mingjian, the old minister is loyal, you can see it from the past, you can see that you are brave and loyal, and only the sky can show it. It is definitely not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, but the current situation is uncertain, and King Xiao Ming is not easy to move. Lord Wang said to King Xiao Ming.

As soon as Lord Li saw Lord Wang doing this, King Xiao Ming's face seemed to have a hint of approval, and he hurriedly stopped in front and provoked: "What is not easy to move, it is necessary to let Yingtian's Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang lead the army to defeat the Han King Chen Youliang, after the king of Xiao Ming set off for Yingtian, I am afraid that I will be laughed at by the world." ”

Sure enough, the young and vigorous King Xiao Ming couldn't withstand this agitation at all, and couldn't help but shout: "Lord Wang doesn't have to object, I have no will, I will definitely lead the troops to fight with Chen Youliang in Yingtian, and bow down to the master of the world to ask for Yuan Yishi, and I will definitely not tolerate Chen Youliang's dog thief being so rampant." ”

Lord Wang couldn't help but be greatly frustrated, and said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness King Xiao Ming, please think twice." ”

King Xiao Ming pointed at Lord Wang and said, "No need, this matter is settled." ”
