Chapter 251: The Mansion of the State of Wei
"Uh...... Are you looking for something with me?" Fang Hong glanced at this boy sympathetically, what's the use of being good-looking? Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info wants me to say, you can stay at home and enjoy happiness now, eat when you can, drink when you can, and live the good life of others all their lives.
"In Xia Xu Kuibi, I came to thank Engong for saving his life. The boy bowed to Fang Hong and said very politely.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just passing by, if it's okay, I'll leave now." Fang Hong waved his hand casually, but didn't take it to heart. However, his heart is still very useful, acting chivalrous and protecting the weak, isn't this a good man in the mouth of the storyteller.
"Engong, please stay, you have the grace to save my life, and I hope to give me a chance so that I can repay one or two. Xu Kuibi said to Fang Hong very sincerely.
"Repay?" Fang Hong glanced at Xu Kuibi seriously, looking at the appearance of the kid, he should be very rich, since this is the case, if you don't slaughter it, you won't slaughter it. "Okay, I'll give you a chance, you have to wrap up today's dinner, I want to eat roast chicken, grilled fish, and Dongpo meat. ”
As he spoke, his saliva was going to stay. There was no way, he escaped from Uncle Zhong's hands last night and was ready to work alone, but when he arrived at the meal, he found that he had forgotten to bring money, and he had been hungry for almost a day. If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have gone into the woods to find food himself.
"Uh...... No problem. Xu Kuibi was stunned for a while, but then laughed again, this is still a temperamental character, if it was someone else, he would definitely climb up the pole. After all, with his family background, I don't know how many people want to slap him.
"Let's go, you said earlier, I'm dying of hunger. Fang Hong slapped his stomach and laughed.
After a while, there was a rumbling sound in the distance, and when I looked up, it was hundreds of cavalry. All of them were dressed in light armor and were extremely fast.
Fang Hong's eyes shrank slightly, although these cavalry were galloping rapidly, their movements were orderly and full of rhythm. Moreover, above these cavalry, a blood-colored battle flag flew and fluttered, and the luck turned into shape, this is the real elite division.
"Little grandfather. When the cavalry was about to approach, they pulled the reins in unison, the war horses stopped in unison, and everyone jumped off their horses and saluted Xu Kuibi.
"Excuse me. Xu Kuibi nodded to everyone, and these cavalrymen were also relieved to see that the little grandfather was fine. They had just received an urgent report that the little grandfather was in distress outside, but it almost scared them to death.
"Engong, please get on the horse. Xu Kuibi brought a cavalryman's horse over and handed it to Fang Hong personally.
"My name is Hong Fang, you can call me Da Hong or Xiao Hong, the name of this Engong sounds awkward. Fang Hong waved his hand, Xu Kuibi's polite gesture made him feel a little uncomfortable. At the same time, he also kept an eye on it, but just reported a pseudonym.
"This ...... Then I'll call you Brother Hong. Xu Kuibi hesitated for a moment before speaking. After Fang Hong changed his appearance, because of the extremely heavy bags under his eyes, he looked like a man in his twenties and thirties, looking bigger than Xu Kuibi.
"It's up to you. "Fang Hong doesn't care, it's better to be a big brother than a little brother. After determining the name, he turned over his horse, shook the reins, and headed in the direction of Jinling City.
And Xu Kuibi was embraced by the rest of the knights and left together.
As they approached Jinling City, hundreds of cavalry left on their own. They were all stationed outside the city, and it was inconvenient for them to enter the city. There were only a dozen horsemen left, escorting a few people into the city.
The people went all the way to the west of the city, and the further they went, the wider and smoother the road became, and at the same time, the pedestrians on the road became scarcer.
To the west of the boundary, commonly known as "Xungui Street", on this road, live are the nobles who have been passed down through the generations, the lowest title, must also be an uncle, and the most prominent is the Duke of Wei who guards Nanjing.
Although the Ming Dynasty emphasized literature over military force, there were only a few exceptions, and that was Xungui. Xungui was also a martial artist, but not many literati would be willing to fight against him. It's not just because these nobles are extremely high, but more importantly, you can't do them at all.
Even if you write a book to impeach them every day, people don't take it seriously, even if the emperor sees it, he will only smile and punish them without pain. Because everyone knows that the foundation of this imperial rule is still in the hands of these nobles, who are in charge of heavy soldiers and are truly loyal to the emperor.
Throughout the Ming Dynasty, among the nobles, the most respected are only the four great princes, the British Duke and the Chengguo Duke who guarded the capital, the Qianguo Duke who guarded Yunnan, and the Wei Guogong who guarded Nanjing. Even many princes are not as powerful as these princes.
"The Duke of Wei's Mansion. Fang Hong looked at the sign hanging on an extremely imposing mansion, and couldn't help but read out the words written on it. The identity of the Duke of Guo is basically standing at the top of the Ming officialdom, after all, the Ming Dynasty does not have a king with a different surname. It was Xu Da back then, who had great military achievements, but he only added the name of King Zhongshan after his death.
"It turns out that your family has such a high status, and you are still a descendant of Prince Xu. Fang Hong originally knew that Xu Kuibi's identity was not ordinary, but he didn't expect it to be so high. He had heard of the name of Wei Guogong.
In the countryside, the stories of the famous generals who founded the country have been compiled into countless versions, and the storyteller has calloused your ears.
Xu Kuibi smiled, did not speak, raised his hand and led Fang Hong into through the side door. Although Fang Hong saved his life, he would not let Fang Hong pass through the main entrance.
These noble families are very courteous, and they don't have a certain identity, even if you save the old man, you are not qualified to enter from the main entrance.
Fang Hong didn't care about these vulgar etiquette, now for him, it was still the most important thing to have a full meal. He'd been hungry for so long, he was almost on the back of his chest.
Fortunately, the efficiency of the Wei Mansion is still very high, and as soon as he and Xu Kuibi sat down, the next person served the food. In addition to the roast chicken and roast meat that Fang Hong wanted, there were also dozens of dishes of sauce elbow and roasted whole sheep, and the table was full.
"Interesting. Fang Hong slapped Xu Kuibi's arm, and he was not polite to him, he immediately went up and tore a leg of mutton, and chewed it heavily. He ate quickly, and when he opened his mouth to bite, he tore a large piece of flesh down.
And the maids standing around looked a little dazed, not knowing what the identity of this person was. You know, the little grandfather has always paid attention to etiquette, this person dares to be so rude, why is the little grandfather still smiling?
