After another two days of preparation, it was finally time to go.

Zhu Gui's travel team reached 100 people this time, and it was without a caravan accompanying him.

However, there are more people who come to see them off, and even in winter, Datong Mansion has achieved an unprecedented effect of 10,000 empty alleys.

I know that there are also many refugees.

At first, the refugees did not know what was happening, but they soon saw the traveling cavalry.

It was a spectacle they had never seen before.

What they didn't expect was that the people along the road were desperately waving their hands to a carriage in the center of the procession, and many of them even scattered flower petals.

What kind of people sit in the carriage that are so popular?

It wasn't until the carriage approached that they saw a heroic young man standing in front of the carriage.

He was dressed in a scarlet python robe, and he enjoyed all this very naturally.

Only then did the refugee remember that this was the legendary local vassal king, that is, the acting king.

Although the days he had been here were very short, his ears were almost hearing the calluses coming.

Almost all the locals, both the common people and the people who did business, were full of praise for this prince.

The refugee also felt some of the city's efforts to celebrate the benefits of the people, such as the fact that the refugees were able to live in clean wooden huts and that various supplies were distributed in specific locations every day.

Quite a few have even found work.

As soon as the refugees thought of this, they couldn't help but start cheering with the people around them, until the carriage was moving away.

And Zhu Jixi, who was in the carriage, saw this scene, and his heart was even more excited.

Although his father was also a vassal king, he had never been so loved by the people of Taiyuan.

Zhu Jixi's eyes were even more full of admiration when he looked at Zhu Gui.

"Uncle Wang, how did you manage to make the people of the whole city love you so much?"

Zhu Jixi couldn't help but ask.

Zhu Gui didn't answer, but looked at Xu Miaoqing next to him with a smile.

Xu Miaoqing was making tea, and seemed to notice Zhu Gui's gaze, so he handed the tea box to Zhu Gui, and then hugged the latter's arm and said with a smile: "This matter is very simple, as long as you are really good to the people, they will love you, and the people don't ask for much." ”

Zhu Jixi showed a helpless smile, he grew up beside the King of Jin since he was a child, he was used to seeing the magnanimous scene of the clan gentry, and he had heard a lot of polite words, how could he not know that although Xu Miaoqing said it was simple, but if he really sat up, I am afraid that in the entire Ming Dynasty, few vassal kings can do Zhu Gui's degree.

The word 'money' alone has stumped countless people, not to mention whether anyone is really willing to spend money on the people.

However, Zhu Jixi did not continue to dwell on this issue, anyway, he still had time to continue studying by Zhu Gui's side, and he believed that sooner or later he would get the answer he wanted.

Although the road to Nanjing this time was a long longer official road than the previous one, due to the snow, the speed of the march could not be maximized.

Zhu Gui and the others took half the time to arrive in Nanjing.

At this time, Nanjing also had a sense of slaughter.

There were twice as many patrolling soldiers on the city walls, and there was an endless stream of people coming and going at the city gates, but there was no lively atmosphere at all.

Zhu Gui and the others also got out of the carriage and entered the city through another special small gate.

"Is this Nanjing, where my father and Uncle Wang grew up?" Zhu Jixi looked at the various buildings on the street that were taller than Taiyuan, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Zhu Gui said with a smile: "This is just an outer city, and the princes all live in the palace, which you can understand as a bigger palace." ”

Zhu Jixi nodded inexplicably.

The group came to the Daiwang Mansion, and since there are people stationed here all year round, there is no need to clean up.

It's just that after a tiring journey, Xu Miaoqing and Zhu Jixi soon went down to rest.

Only Zhu Gui sat alone in the living room, as if waiting for someone.

Almost half a pillar of incense passed, and someone really came to the living room with a father-in-law.

When the man saw Zhu Gui sitting inside, he went down.

The father-in-law first gave Zhu Gui a salute, and then said: "His Royal Highness the Acting King, Xu Guogong has set up a reception banquet in the Guogong Mansion, and wants to wash the dust for the prince." ”

Zhu Gui just nodded, and then got up and walked out with the other party.

He hadn't forgotten to send someone to call Xu Yingxu.

The two got into the carriage together and went to Xu Guogong's mansion.

In the carriage, Xu Yingxu expressed his doubts, why did Xu Guogong let a father-in-law invite Zhu Gui?

Zhu Gui had already noticed this, so he said, "It should be Concubine Hui's meaning." ”

Xu Yingxu nodded.

At this moment, there was a sudden muffled sound from the back of the carriage, as if something had hit the carriage.

Xu Yingxu hurriedly looked over and found that there was an arrow stuck in the back of the car, and a note was tied to it.

But the man who shot the arrow was nowhere to be found.

"Lord Wang, do you see?"

Xu Yingxu had no choice but to pull out the arrow.

Zhu Gui was also a little surprised, but still untied the note.

There were only a dozen words on the note, but Zhu Gui laughed after reading it.

"Lord, what is written in the letter?" Xu Yingxu asked with some confusion.

"It's nothing, the old people meet, and they just want to catch up with the past." Zhu Gui said.

When Xu Yingxu heard this, he didn't continue to ask.

Soon the carriage arrived at the door of Xu Guogong's mansion.

There were already people waiting at the door.

Zhu Gui and Xu Yingxu got out of the carriage together and walked into the gate of Xu's house.

Xu Yingxu's face was a little excited.

Before entering the main hall, I saw that Xu Guogong and his wife had already greeted him.

"Lord Wang, Yingxu, you are here, please come in, come in and ease your body, it's cold outside, right?"

Xu Guogong, who has always been very serious, also had an excited look on his face at this time.

Seeing this, Zhu Gui also felt some emotion in his heart.

"The child has seen his father."

Seeing this, Xu Yingxu was about to bow down, but was stopped by Xu Guogong.

"Come in, don't let the prince laugh, by the way, the prince, Concubine Hui is waiting for you in the side hall."

Xu Guogong grabbed Xu Yingxu with one hand, and whispered to him while leaning close to Zhu Gui.

Zhu Gui nodded, and walked along the corridor of the main hall towards the side hall.

After a few turns, I finally saw a place where two palace maids were guarding outside, and it seemed that I had found a place.

"I've seen the prince." Two palace maids saluted Zhu Gui.

Zhu Gui just nodded and pushed the door in.

"My son, is it really you?"

A gentle and excited voice sounded in the side hall, it was Guo Huifei.

Before Zhu Gui could answer, he was pulled into his arms.
