When Zhu Gui's personal soldiers heard Zhu Gui mention the Salt Gang, their faces became strange.

They are all from the Salt Gang, and they have not forgotten a story that is comparable to a myth that came out of the Salt Gang.

That is, the acting king in front of him rescued the princess from more than a dozen people of the Salt Gang by himself alone with two guns.

And now they can all understand that it is not a myth, but a real story.

After all, they still have powerful flintlock pistols in their hands, not to mention the pistols in the hands of the prince.

It's just that even so, as pro-soldiers, they don't want the prince to be in danger alone, which is obviously a slap in the face for them as pro-soldiers.

But their words were ignored by Zhu Gui.

In the end, Zhu Gui said directly: "This is the king's order, you only need to take the government soldiers to stand by nearby." ”

"Yes."

The ten pro-soldiers looked at each other and could only bow their heads to receive orders.

Zhu Gui looked at Zuo Erniang who was shocked again: "How?" ”

Zuo Erniang pondered for a long time before saying: "The prince is really willing to take risks alone, just to help the people's daughter take the money gang?" ”

"You are wrong, the premise of your cooperation with this king is not only that you want to join the Daiwang Mansion, but also that the Money Gang will gradually transform into a regular business in the future, and you will also join the Datong Chamber of Commerce, can you agree?"

Only then did Zhu Gui tell his true purpose.

But now, if Zuo Erniang doesn't agree, as long as Zhu Gui gives an order, it will be difficult for her to leave the Daiwang Mansion.

As for the Money Gang to change careers and join the Datong Chamber of Commerce, she didn't have much resistance.

After all, she joined the Money Gang because of a desperate and helpless move, if she had a better choice, she would never want to embark on the road of confrontation with the imperial court.

There is only one point, Zuo Erniang still has obvious resistance to joining the Daiwang Mansion.

She wasn't sure if what Zhu Gui had said to her before was to appease her or if it was true.

If Zhu Gui just wanted to use her hand to control the Money Gang and kick her out afterwards, then she would really be a fool who was sold and paid back to the number of people.

Zhu Gui saw the look of struggle on Zuo Erniang's face, and couldn't help but say: "This matter is very important, this king will not force you, you can make a decision after investigating, of course, the best place is still Datong Mansion and the grassland." Now you have the option to leave on your own. ”

Zuo Erniang's eyebrows raised again, she didn't expect the other party to be so fearless, and she really wanted to let her go.

She was about to say something more when she felt her two maids take her hand again.

It turned out that the injuries of the two were deteriorating, and if they were not treated, I am afraid that the bleeding alone would be enough to kill them.

"Okay then, the folk girl will give the prince an answer in a week and leave."

After that, Zuo Erniang left from the Daiwang Mansion in a hurry with two maids, for fear that Zhu Gui would backtrack.

Zhu Gui spread all the soldiers, and then said to the back door: "Come out, it just so happens that the king's tea is cold, you are cooking a pot for the king." ”

After a while, Xu Miaoqing walked in with a steaming teapot, sat next to Zhu Gui and said, "Lord Wang, how can you trust her?" She's a thief. ”

Zhu Gui just nodded, and did not explain much on this topic, but asked, "Have you thought about where to go today?" This king happens to be free and can accompany you. ”

"Really? Doesn't the prince have to go to the palace today? Speaking of which, I haven't been there for two days. As soon as Xu Miaoqing heard that Zhu Gui could accompany her, she immediately forgot about the question just now.

Zhu Gui nodded and said, "It's not early today, so I won't bother the prince, I'm going to be busy in a few days, so I'll take advantage of the time I have time to go out for a walk with you today." ”

Zhu Gui stood up and said.

When Xu Miaoqing heard his words, a trace of worry immediately appeared on his face.

It seems that she remembered what Zhu Gui said just now about going to the Money Gang alone.

But she didn't mention it.

First, she knew that even if she wanted to persuade the other party not to go, with Zhu Gui's temper, she would not agree in the end, but might even distance the relationship between the two.

The second is also because Xu Miaoqing has enough confidence in Zhu Gui, and the incident of saving her at the hands of the salt dealer has made Xu Miaoqing almost blindly confident in Zhu Gui.

So in the afternoon, the two got in a carriage and went to the west of the city.

There are many temples in the west of the city, and the two visited many temples and dojos one by one, and Xu Miaoqing also asked for a lot of amulets for Zhu Gui, and even hung his belt.

But seeing the worried look on Xu Miaoqing's face that had not disappeared, he did not retreat.

In the end, the two came to the most famous Linggu Temple in Nanjing.

This place was crowned as 'the first Zen forest in the world' by Zhu Yuanzhang, and it is very famous in the whole of Nanjing.

The presiding officer of Linggu Temple is said to be an enlightened monk.

But Zhu Gui was not interested in these things, if it weren't for Xu Miaoqing pulling him, he wouldn't want to come at all.

The incense of Linggu Temple is prosperous, and the flow of people is one after another, so it is not lively.

However, Zhu Gui also noticed that the people who received those ordinary pilgrims were just young monks.

It was only after arriving in the atrium that the monks here grew older.

Zhu Guixin said that in this kind of land of fireworks, how many of these monks can cultivate?

He was about to leave after accompanying Xu Miaoqing with a stick of incense, but he didn't expect that as soon as the two knelt in front of the Buddha, an old monk with closed eyes with eyebrows hanging down to his chin walked out from behind the Buddha statue.

"Who is the prince?" The old monk asked, 'looking' in the direction of Zhu Gui.

"Can't you really see it?" Zhu Gui was taken aback by the other party's movements.

The old monk's face changed slightly, and he actually bowed to Zhu Gui, and said: "I don't know that the king has arrived, the old monk is dustless, and he is guilty of sin." ”

"Master of Dustless? He is a high-ranking monk of Linggu Temple, and my father has never seen him several times, how can he be so polite? ”

Xu Miaoqing on the side immediately leaned over and said.

"How does this king know? Maybe he's the same for all the princes. ”

Zhu Gui was not very interested in Buddhism, so he said so.

The monk next to him supported the dustless monk and said, "Please meet you in the queen's hall." ”

"The apse? Don't use it, right? This king is just coming to offer incense. Zhu Gui's face showed displeasure.

But the dustless monk immediately said: "The old monk is willing to calculate a hexagram for the acting king, please don't shirk the acting king?" ”

"Heh, fortune telling? What can you figure out? Zhu Gui snorted coldly and said.

"Count the past life, count the future, as long as the king wants to know, the old monk must know everything." Dustless monk bowed his head and said.

When Zhu Gui heard this, a different color flashed in his eyes, what does this old monk mean by this? Could it be that he had already seen who he really was?
