Chapter 42 The night scene of Jiangning is full of prosperity
"I wonder what else is going on?" Chen Zhuo took the initiative to ask, not mentioning what King Wu said earlier, obviously telling King Wu that the previous ones were not a matter.
"Recently, there is a cult in Jinhua Mansion that has been expanding vigorously, called the Immortal Sect, and its power has not only developed a large number of ordinary people, but it is also suspected that some officials in Jinhua have also been bewitched, such as today is an eventful autumn, this Jiangnan cannot withstand the toss of the cult, and I hope you can eradicate the Immortal Sect as soon as possible." King Wu continued, his expression obviously a lot more serious this time.
After listening to it, Chen Zhuo knew King Wu's thoughts, that Jiangnan couldn't withstand the toss, obviously King Wu had already planned to the final stage, and he had to solve all the hidden dangers inside before raising the army, and this Immortal Sect was one of the hidden dangers.
And King Wu reuses Chen Zhuo so much, it should be because he values Chen Zhuo's extremely high personal force, and secondly, Chen Zhuo has nearly 100 Dongshuizhai masters, whether it is to take over the Jinhua camp or eradicate the Changsheng Sect, it is free labor.
There is also a third and most important point, that is, King Wu wants to see Chen Zhuo's ability through these few things.
If the ability is enough to be of great use in the future, if the ability is limited, then this guerrilla general who guards the city and engages in law and order is the upper limit of Chen Zhuo.
"My subordinates have always hated cults, and within a month, my subordinates will definitely exterminate them." Chen Zhuo said very confidently, he is so confident.
"Okay, Gu has ordered someone to prepare for the banquet, and General Chen and Miss Yuwei will leave after eating." King Wu only said a good word, and then the conversation changed and let the Chen Zhuo brothers and sisters eat before leaving.
I have to say that Corporal Wu Wang Lixian has really done enough to save face, Chen Zhuo, a new water thief, set up a banquet in the palace for the first time they met.
Chen Zhuo naturally responded with a happy face, this is not as simple as a meal, and it is also a human sophistication.
If King Wu gives face, he can't help but give face to King Wu.
said that it was a banquet, but Chen Zhuo only knew when he arrived at the place, and it was just an ordinary family banquet, but it was a royal mansion, and there was not even a song and dance to help the fun.
However, this is also in line with King Wu's simple personality, and because of Chen Yuwei's relationship, Princess Wu also attended, which Chen Zhuo did not expect.
During the meal, Chen Zhuo knew that King Wu had been a vassal for nearly ten years, but he only had such a concubine as the princess, and he didn't even have a concubine in the side room.
It seems that the relationship between King Wu and the princess is very good, but this really doesn't look like King Wu deliberately acted in order to maintain his character.
Chen Zhuo just felt a little surprised, but Chen Yuwei was different, she was very envious of the princess, plus this princess was also kind, there was no imaginary kind of high-minded shelf, but she talked a lot to Chen Yuwei during the banquet.
"If King Wu is playing this kind of character, then even if this princess accompanies King Wu to act, this performance is more than ten years, and it is also very remarkable, how many decades are there in life? Especially the ten years when a woman is young are even more precious, these two people are not simple! Chen Zhuo's evaluation of Wu Wang and his wife is getting higher and higher.
Seeing Chen Yuwei happily talking to the princess, Chen Zhuo was more and more glad that he had made this decision, this kind of stable life, this kind of occasion where ordinary women could not appear at all, Chen Zhuo could not bring Chen Yuwei as a bandit leader or a lone ranger.
Seeing that the food was almost over, and the sky was dark outside, Chen Zhuo was about to get up and say goodbye, but at this moment, King Wu suddenly spoke: "General Chen, it seems that Sister Ling and the princess are very close to each other, why don't you go with Gu?" Let them talk more? ”
"Subordinates obey." Chen Zhuo got up and answered, he felt that King Wu still had something to say.
Soon Chen Zhuo followed King Wu out of the dining place, there were palace maids in front and behind the lamp, after passing through a few corridors, Chen Zhuo suddenly saw that there was an open space in front of him, and then a five-story attic towered in front of him.
"Give the lamp to Lone, General Chen Lone will take you to see a different Jiangning." King Wu stopped in front of the attic, he asked for the lantern from the maid, and he actually carried the lantern himself to take Chen Zhuo to the attic.
Chen Zhuo didn't say anything, just followed behind King Wu, and soon the two of them came to the top.
"On weekdays, I like to go to the top of this building alone, this place is called 'Sifang Pavilion', you can see the whole Jiangning at a glance, whether it is a clear sky or rainy, you can see a different scenery here. I thought that General Chen was just a martial artist, and when I saw that you had a good conversation during the banquet, it was no worse than those famous scholars and great Confucians, and you should like this place too. When he went upstairs, King Wu kept talking, as if he brought Chen Zhuo here to really make a temporary move.
Soon King Wu took Chen Zhuo to the top floor, where he could indeed see far away, Chen Zhuo saw the brilliant lights of Jiangning City, this direction is the most prosperous place in Jiangning at night, there is a river called Qinhuai, both sides of the river are Song Lou Chu Pavilion, there are cruise ships full of lanterns on the river, there are singers, dancers, juggling artists on it.
The eyes are full of prosperity, and the lights are intoxicating.
"Come on, come on...... And this side. King Wu saw that Chen Zhuo was enjoying the night view of the city, and greeted Chen Zhuo with a smile on his face to change directions.
Chen Zhuo followed King Wu to the other side of the attic, and here he saw a few other streets, there was no song tower Chu Pavilion, no flowery girls, and no lingering sons, but it was also lively here.
This is a few streets whose names Chen Zhuo does not know, this is the night market in Jiangning, there are all kinds of vendors on both sides of the street at night, young men and women are choosing small goods, children are gathered in front of the candy man stalls, and everyone has a smile on their faces.
"Come here, that is the Jiangning wharf, even in the middle of the night the wharf is busy, there are goods from all over the country, there are also brocades from Jiangning, and the grain from Jiangnan is transported to other places." King Wu greeted Chen Zhuo again, and stretched out his hand to point into the distance.
Chen Zhuo looked at the place where King Wu pointed to, and sure enough, he saw a busy wharf, where countless workers were moving goods up and down, and the docks were densely packed with ships, and they were all huge building ships.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Chen Zhuo would never have imagined that in a feudal era with such low productivity, there were such spectacular docks and wooden boats several stories high.
Chen Zhuo estimated that King Wu would bring everyone he thought was of great use to this attic, and then King Wu should brainwash himself.
Sure enough, the next moment, King Wu spoke meaningfully: "It's been ten years since I've been in Jiangning, do you know what I thought when I first arrived in Jiangning ten years ago?" ”
"Your Highness is known as a virtuous person, so you must want to be a virtuous king, right?" Chen Zhuo replied in accordance with King Wu's words.
"A good one is known as a virtuous name, and after the vassal king has always been famous, he has raised an army to rebel and fight for the world, I guess this is how people in the world look at loneliness, right?" But King Wu didn't play his cards according to the routine, and he immediately talked about the most sensitive topic as soon as he changed his words.
Chen Zhuo didn't answer this, and he couldn't answer it, at this time, it was not good to support King Wu's rebellion, and it was even worse to persuade King Wu not to rebel.
