Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Road Meets the Gentleman
Zhu Gui did not choose to go to Nanjing with Zhu Ao, the king of Su.
Not only because of the latter's busy boats and horses, but also because of the hundreds of people accompanying him, he didn't know when he would arrive in Nanjing.
Zhu Gui only took Xu Miaoqing and twenty personal soldiers with him, and his speed was much faster.
And before wishing the crown prince his birthday, he also had to go to see Xu Guogong, he already knew from Xu Yingxu that the previous few things, this father-in-law helped him say a lot in front of the emperor.
Along the way, the prosperity was exhausted, but it was difficult to hide the dilapidated and bleak land of the Ming Dynasty, all of which gave Xu Miaoqing a great feeling.
She can better understand Zhu Gui's practice of bringing a good life to ordinary people in Datong Mansion, and her feelings for Zhu Gui have become a little more admired.
Finally, after five days of driving, they finally came to the vicinity of Nanjing City.
It was already very prosperous, and because there was still plenty of time, Zhu Gui slowed down and decided to rest in a small city for half a day before hurrying.
The soldiers began to take care of the horses and prepare supplies, while Zhu Gui and Xu Miaoqing walked the streets together.
The streets here are already seven points similar to Nanjing, and they are very familiar to the two who grew up in Nanjing.
When she saw some small objects on the street, Xu Miaoqing would beg Zhu Gui to buy them for her.
Zhu Gui also lost his serious temper in the past, and he also asked Xu Miaoqing for something.
The two of them enjoyed a rare time together.
But it didn't take long for a group of people to surround them.
The leader was a gentleman with an exaggerated expression, and he led his subordinates around the two of them several times, and a pair of thief eyes were swirling around Xu Miaoqing.
Xu Miaoqing had never been so 'despised', and said coldly: "Thief, what do you see? ”
"Yo, the little lady is really polite to speak, the official has taken a fancy to you, that's your politeness, do you know who I am?"
Not only did he not get angry, but he said with a smile.
"That is, my son-in-law is the sister-in-law of Master Huang, a big family in the city, and I am convinced by you when I like you."
"Little lady, you have a good life, go back to the house with my son-in-law, and you won't have to worry about food and clothing in the future."
The two subordinates behind the gentleman echoed in unison.
The three of them didn't seem to be able to see Zhu Gui beside Xu Miaoqing.
There were many passers-by watching from afar, but they didn't dare to come around, but it could be seen from their looks that they seemed to be used to this kind of thing for a long time.
"I don't care who you are, get out of here, or you will eat your good fruit."
Xu Miaoqing was furious and was about to stretch out his waist to touch the gun, but was stopped by Zhu Gui silently and shook his head at her.
"It's too close to Kyoto to use a pistol unless you have to, let alone kill someone."
Zhu Yuanzhang's birthday is approaching, if Zhu Gui makes trouble again at this time, I am afraid that he will be severely punished.
Xu Miao stomped her foot and picked up a piece of bamboo directly from the stall next to her: "Then this is always okay, right?" ”
Zhu Gui nodded helplessly.
Then I saw Xu Miaoqing smash his head and cover his face.
Where has the boy surnamed Huang seen such a battle? He usually messes around on the street under the name of his father.
So he was beaten by Xu Miaoqing with his head and face.
Before leaving, he covered the sore spot and shouted: "Stinky girl, you wait for me, I will go back and call someone, I will definitely make you look good." ”
There was a round of applause from the passers-by.
However, the vendor next to him persuaded with a panicked face: "You two are not locals, are they?" Let's hurry up, we'll get in trouble when it's over. ”
Zhu Gui said: "This is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, how dare the big families in this city be so domineering?" ”
The trader said helplessly: "That old man Huang has a lot of connections in the capital, and he is related to local officials, so he can not be held accountable for the trouble, so the two of you should leave quickly." ”
Xu Miaoqing snorted coldly: "How can this be reasonable, I didn't expect that there are such scumbags in this kind of place, Zhu Gui, can you take care of it?" ”
Zhu Gui's face was embarrassed, he already had a bad reputation in Nanjing City, and now he was closed outside, if something happened, it would be easy for people to seize this reason to attack.
But seeing Xu Miaoqing's expectant look, he thought for a while and nodded.
However, it was not wise to wait for the other party to retaliate here, so he took Xu Miaoqing back to the hotel, and then took out the token of the acting king and asked the soldiers to go to the local government for safekeeping, and on the other hand, he asked several soldiers to pretend to be ordinary people to 'lead the way' for the young master Huang.
Not long after, Young Master Huang really gathered a group of people and came to the front of the hotel.
The innkeeper didn't know what was going on, but when he saw someone coming, he knew he couldn't afford to mess with him, so he flashed aside.
Young Master Huang stood at the door of the inn and shouted loudly: "Stinky girl, hurry down and follow me, otherwise Young Master Ben will burn this place with a fire." ”
Xu Miaoqing immediately walked out of the hotel with two personal guards.
"Yo, and helpers, no wonder you're so arrogant? Looks like you're not locals, huh? ”
This Young Master Huang looked at the two personal soldiers beside Xu Miaoqing, and could only feel that the other party was fierce and abnormal, but he didn't know that the other party was a fierce pawn who had been on the battlefield.
"Ben Wang...... This girl wanted to let you go, but now that you send it to the door yourself, then it's no wonder that I'm going to call me. ”
Xu Miaoqing almost revealed her identity, but fortunately, she changed her tone halfway through the conversation.
Obviously, there were dozens of people on the other side, and they all had weapons in their hands, but Xu Miaoqing let the two personal soldiers take the initiative to attack, which made Young Master Huang a little dumbfounded.
But before he could give the order, the two soldiers rushed into the crowd on his side with the force of a tiger entering the flock.
Young Master Huang's expression finally changed from confusion at the beginning to shock.
If he doesn't cut off a stick of incense, there will be no one on his side who can stand except him.
"Y-Who the hell are you?"
Young Master Huang trembled and asked tremblingly.
"Huh, now that I think about it, I'm scared? It's late. ”
Xu Miaoqing walked over, picked up a wooden board in his hand and patted it.
Half of Young Master Huang's face directly swollen into a pig's head, and the whole person flew directly two meters away and fell to the ground.
And just then, a sound of footsteps came from the corner of the street.
It turned out to be a team of officers and soldiers.
That Young Master Huang had already been scared to pee, but now when he saw these people, he immediately got up.
"Hurry up and save me, there are bandits here who are going to attack them in the streets, arrest them all."
A look of relief appeared on his face.
These officials often deal with him on weekdays.
"Stinky girl, you're dead, I'll make you look good tonight."
This Young Master Huang has not forgotten his evil thoughts about Xu Miaoqing.
But at this moment, the fastest official came over and slapped him.
"A bold fanatic, how dare you be rude to the princess?"
