"Lord Wang, this should be Huainan Mansion, I heard that this place is very well governed, there is no plague at all, and even the bandits have disappeared."

A father-in-law in his fifties whispered.

Zhu Huayao, who heard this, slowly recovered from his decadence, and his face had an extra haughty color.

"Oh, so it's too peaceful here, so let's settle down here first!"

Zhu Huayao's face was excited, and there was a little excitement in his words, which seemed to be very different from the decadence just now.

"No!"

"The minion will go and contact the local officials and ask them to come forward and take the driver."

Before the father-in-law finished speaking, he saw Li Yue and his party of more than 30 people coming towards them.

"Wait, who is unknown? Go and investigate, remember, and if something is wrong, report it quickly. ”

Zhu Huayao sat in the car, saw Li Yue and the others through the curtains, and immediately showed fear again, as if he was afraid of meeting road bandits.

The old man who heard this also hurriedly stepped forward to check, and at this time, Li Yue and others also discovered Zhu Huayao's convoy.

"Young master, there are hundreds of vehicles in this convoy in front, and it is a little dangerous to see its configuration and guards."

Liu Ming looked at the convoy in the distance with a solemn expression, and at the same time, his hand was also on the hilt of the knife.

"Liu Ming, you don't have to be too nervous, now this Huainan Mansion and Huangzhou Mansion are my hinterland, can I still be bullied by others here?"

Li Yue smiled indifferently and rode forward on his war horse, just in time to see a man in his fifties coming towards them.

When I got closer, I realized that the man in front of me turned out to be a father-in-law.

However, in Li Yue's opinion, the father-in-law in front of him does not look like a father-in-law.

At the very least, it was a little tattered in its clothes, as if it had crawled out of the rubble.

When the convoy approached, they found that the entire convoy was also in tatters, and everyone looked a little panicked.

In particular, everyone has a little dish on their faces, as if they have not eaten enough after being hungry for a long time.

"Oh my God, are they here to flee the wilderness, one by one, emaciated?"

Li Yue was originally a little timid, thinking that there were three or five hundred people in front of him.

If you want to disadvantage them, it's possible.

But now it seems that these people together are not necessarily the opponents of their thirty people.

"Who's in front of you?"

The father-in-law shouted loudly.

Li Yue, who was asked, was a little stunned, and before he could answer for a while, Liu Ming went to ride a horse and stepped forward to block the front.

"Who are you, and what are you doing here?"

Liu Ming's expression was solemn, and the steel knife in his hand had been pulled out, as if he was about to prepare for battle.

This made the old husband, who was already a little sluggish, immediately frightened and retreated.

"I am Wang Huixi, the chief eunuch of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and sitting behind me is Zhu Huayao, the King of Chu."

Wang Huixi originally just wanted to ask the other party's heels, but he didn't expect that after being reprimanded, he directly explained all his masters.

As soon as he heard that it was the King of Chu, Li Yue immediately came to his senses.

After all, as a vassal king, his family background is absolutely solid, and looking at the hundreds of carriages, he knows that this is here to send warmth.

But at the same time, he fell into contemplation, in the memory of his previous life, this Chu King Zhu Huayao was a very famous vassal king in the late Ming Dynasty.

Although he has thousands of gold and wealth, he is reluctant to give a penny to resist Zhang Xianzhong's rebels.

As a result, Wuchang City was captured, and finally placed in a pig cage and drowned in the Yangtze River.

But now that he heard that Zhu Huayao, the king of Chu, was not dead, and ran out, he knew that Li Yue was a little puzzled.

But then I thought of the original historical process, Wuchang Mansion was just an isolated city, and there were no reinforcements from other imperial courts to support it.

But at this point in time, An Qitong took down the entire Wuchang Mansion last week.

Thinking of this, Li Yue realized that what he had done had disrupted the entire historical node, and it seemed that the damned people were not dead, and the unworthy people seemed to be dead.

Li Yue, who had been pondering for a long time before relieving himself, couldn't help but smile indifferently when he looked at the prince in front of him.

"Oh, it turned out to be His Royal Highness the King of Chu, that's great, I'm Li Yue, the protector of Huainan Mansion."

Li Yue said calmly with a harmless smile on his face.

As soon as he heard that it was Li Yue from Huainan Mansion, the prince immediately became excited.

The reason for this is only because when Li Yue was pacifying the Huangzhou Mansion, the imperial court rewarded him with a title that was neither salty nor light.

However, this title is indeed very useful, and anyone who is an official family will recognize it wherever it goes.

However, while admitting it, it is also necessary to recognize the status of the official family, especially the vassal king, like Zhu Huayao, the king of Chu.

As early as the Wuchang Rebellion, the local finances were in deficit, and there was no money to maintain a strong army, which finally led to Zhang Xianzhong only sending less than 10,000 people to capture the entire Wuchang Mansion.

At the same time as the capture of Wuchang City, it was also rumored that Zhu Huayao, the king of Chu, died in the chaos.

If it weren't for the fact that his own private soldiers were strong enough to escort the entire palace out of the city and flee, at this moment, Zhu Huayao could only become a ghost under the knife.

However, it is rumored that Zhu Huayao has been directly beheaded by Zhang Xianzhong, and all his property has been plundered.

But the fact is that the army led by Zhou An and Qi Tong sent by Li Yue immediately fought with Zhang Xianzhong's troops after they came to Wuchang Mansion.

This also gave Zhu Huayao a chance to escape.

But this way to the south, and further east, it is even more dangerous, all of them are mobs, plagues, bandits, and bandits, and they have not encountered the regular army of the imperial court at all, and they are bullied everywhere.

At this time, when the prince saw Li Yue and the others, he thought that these people in front of him were loyal to the imperial court.

And at this moment, Zhu Huayao, the king of Chu, is all the people with the highest status here.

As soon as he thought of this, the prince was satisfied, and knew that it was time not to hide in Tibet.

"It turned out to be the Duke of Protector, that's great, His Royal Highness the King of Chu has a bumpy road this way, and he is worried that he has nowhere to stay, and the rest of the things will be up to the Duke of Lao Huguo."

Wang Gonggong's attitude when he spoke was also polite, and he also knew his situation, and he did not suppress Li Yue too much as the king of Chu.

As soon as he heard this, Li Yue was immediately excited.

Originally, he was thinking about how to deceive the King of Chu to Huanggang City, but he didn't expect that the other party would voluntarily follow him.

"Father-in-law, since you say so, what else can I say? Follow us, it's not far from Huanggang City, you can get there before dark. ”

Li Yue was excited, but at the same time he was worried about Huang Zhoucheng's safety.

However, when he thought that Tang Yuan had already gone to Huangzhou City with fifty wolf tooth soldiers, most of his hanging heart was also relaxed.

At this moment, a fat fat sheep in front of me was brought to the mouth, and it was a pity not to take a bite.
