Although Chen Xi only lightly touched the hilt of his sword, Ding Zhisheng's shoulders sank in an instant.

It's just an ordinary person.

Ding Zhisheng took a deep breath and said: "Xiaguan Ding Zhisheng, just because he heard that Her Royal Highness the princess was coming, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, so he entered the hall before he could report it, and asked His Royal Highness to punish him." ”

Zhu He looked at Ding Zhisheng with a look of disgust.

Zhao Yuyu looked at Ding Zhisheng with interest: "Three years ago, the hall tried to explore the flower, but Ding Tanhua?"

Ding Zhisheng raised his head and said with a grateful expression: "Thanks to Her Royal Highness the Princess, she can still remember the lower officials." ”

Zhao Yuyu felt a little interesting in her heart, that year, but there was a sister who was going to marry this Tanhua, and she only had to nod her father, but in the end, this Tanhua actually said that she already had a wife in her family, so she gave up.

Zhao Yuyu opened his mouth and said, "In that case, Lord Zhu, let's add a seat." ”

Zhu He nodded slightly, and after a while, another envoy came to the table, and the position was placed below Chen Xi.

For some reason, after Ding Zhisheng entered the banquet, the lively atmosphere in front of him seemed to be colder.

Chen Xi picked up a glass of wine and shook it three times in front of him.

If the waiters have time to report in the future, it is nothing more than that the waiters in the city lord's mansion have an excellent relationship with Ding Zhisheng, or these waiters are afraid of Ding Zhisheng.

Chen Xi smiled, took a sip, and looked at Zhu He's appearance, most likely the latter.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the hall had dropped by three points, Zhao Yuyu looked at Zhu He and said: "Lord Zhu, a few miles outside Qicheng, I met a family, in the wilderness, it is too dangerous, even if you live, you have to be in the village, I don't know if Lord Zhu knows." ”

Chen Xi almost squirted out a mouthful of wine, this little girl still can't forget it, but what does Zhu He know about this kind of thing.

However, when Chen Xi saw Zhu He's gloating expression, Chen Xi knew that it would probably not be so simple, although he could see that the woman demon beast had turned into a shape, but there were probably some stories in it.

To Chen Xi's surprise, it was Ding Zhisheng who spoke first: "Back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, in that wilderness, there is a woman living in the wilderness, who is cheap. ”

"Oh, I don't understand this, since it's Lord Ding's wife, how can she live there. ”

Ding Zhisheng said expressionlessly: "That woman doesn't abide by women's morals, and she has been divorced by me!"

Zhao Yuyu's expression was slightly stunned, three years ago, Ding Zhisheng would rather go back to Qicheng as an official because he had a wife at home, how could he come back to this situation?

Chen Xi looked at Zhu He, who seemed to be smiling, and couldn't help touching his nose, and couldn't help but say in his heart, Hey, even if you have some contradictions with this surnamed Ding, you don't have to be so obvious.

But...... Chen Xi thought slightly, Zhu He had been an official for many years, how could he lose his temper in front of Zhao Yuyu, so blatantly mocking his colleagues, and even being a superior to some extent, was it really not intentional?

At the banquet, Ding Zhisheng even made a small poem on the spot, praising Zhao Yuyu's "beautiful face". Zhu and the fat man, while boasting that the princess is the bright moon in the sky, did not forget to make some small movements behind Ding Zhisheng's back.

At the end of the banquet, the knights who accompanied him had already returned, guarding outside the room where Zhao Yuyu was staying, although there was a faint smell of alcohol, but it was obvious that these guys were very sober, about that is, only one cup if they could drink, and only one sip if they couldn't.

When you go out, you can carry it clearly, distinguish it clearly, whether it is for yourself, your family or your future, you have an explanation, if you really can't distinguish between the southeast and the northwest, it is sad.

However, a cavalry detachment, apparently well-trained, comparable to an unusual unit.

At least these days, Chen Xi knows that these people have their own strengths, such as the captain, who is infinitely powerful.

Chen Xi had already expressed his admiration for these people who had never cultivated, but were different from ordinary people, but after all, Chen Xi had never really seen those who were blessed by the heavens, but in the near future, Chen Xi would have seen them, no, it should be said that he had seen them, but Chen Xi didn't know.

Although the city lord's mansion is not big, the back garden is quite exquisite, and there are pavilions and pavilions, but it is just a little shrunk.

After autumn, the weather turned cooler, although Chen Xi, as a monk, didn't care about this coolness, but Chen Xi still deliberately put on his shoulders, obeyed the four o'clock and enjoyed the four o'clock, which was Chen Xi's greatest awe of Hongchen after becoming a monk.

That Ding Zhisheng sent Zhao Yuyu back to his residence, and stopped a hundred meters outside the residence, his demeanor was just right, and he looked upright.

However, Chen Xi still hates him a little from the bottom of his heart, but Zhu He is more likable, this is the feeling in his heart, not that he thinks that Zhu He will be more bottomless to praise.

In the pavilion, Chen Xi gently lay on the railing and threw a stone into the water, not everywhere can have the 10,000-tailed carp of Mocheng jumping over the dragon gate, and not all pools have golden carp, a stone goes down, just a splash.

At the other end of the pavilion, footsteps came, Chen Xi tilted his head sideways, and after a while, a fat face came into Chen Xi's eyes, and Chen Xi smiled: "Lord Zhu!"

Zhu He's face was full of smiles, and there was no one around at this time, Zhu He called softly: "Little Prince Chen." ”

"Isn't it to call the prince outside?"

"Don't call the prince to see the outside. ”

The two looked at each other and laughed.

On the wall outside the City Lord's Mansion, a small woman sat on the wall, shaking her feet, carrying a big knife higher than her, and the woman pouted: "This fat man is similar to the fat man surnamed Yuan in our capital." ”

A black-robed man next to him, with a grim face, snorted coldly: "That adult is not something you and I can comment on!"

The woman pouted, but did not speak again.

Chen Xi was lying on the railing, and Zhu Heke was inconvenient to lie on the railing, so he sat on the chair in the pavilion and said straight, rude, rude.

Chen Xi said: "Lord Zhu has been the city lord for so many years, he is obedient and sleek, humble and polite, and he is really a good hand in the officialdom." ”

If other people said this, Zhu He would definitely turn his face, but the speaker was Chen Xi, so Zhu He didn't care.

Zhu He smiled and said: "Let people like me just roll in the mud, trying to be comfortable, if you really want to get wind and rain, you need ruthless people, people without conscience." ”

Chen Xi squinted slightly, why didn't he know that Zhu He had something to say, and couldn't help asking, "...... Ding Zhisheng?"

Zhu Heci smiled and said: "Ding Zhisheng can be regarded as a former rich child, but his family was dilapidated when he was a few years old. ”

Chen Xi raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh?"

"Outside the city is to cross the river, and the canal outside Qingcheng is the same, a country's salt and iron, mostly from this river runs, Nading's family, used to do the business of water transportation. It's a pity that the Ding family is a mortal family after all, and a few years later, the business was seized by the Jia family who came here, and the Jia family became the head snake of this place because the ancestor of the family was a monk in the early stage of the Spirit Realm!"

Chen Xi pursed his lips and looked at Zhu He playfully.

Zhu He hurriedly said: "Of course, this kind of Taoism is naturally not in the eyes of the little prince." ”

Zhu He coughed and continued: "Later, Ding Zhisheng studied hard and studied in the temple in the mountains, but he was actually photographed by a young lady, and the young lady's family did not agree that the young lady was with him, but the young lady was really devoted to him. At that time, it was a beautiful talk. ”

"It's Zhao Yuyu today...... Ahem, is that the woman Her Royal Highness asked?" Chen Xi asked, wiping his mouth.

Zhu He nodded, then squeezed his eyebrows at Chen Xi and said, "Does the little prince know that woman's ......?"

"That woman is a demon, isn't she? Chen Xi looked at Zhu He with a smile.

Zhu He's eyes widened and said: "It is worthy of being a little prince, with fiery eyes, a hole in the fire, and a clear ......."

"Well, in a minute, you'll run out of words. ”

Zhu He smiled and said: "That woman is actually a fox demon incarnation, their family is all, but their family has not hurt anyone, according to the law of Nanqing, if they don't join the sect, they can give them a normal life, but the woman's father, a woman who is dedicated to marrying a famous and decent family, gives their entire fox clan a place to live." ”

Chen Xi squinted slightly, the fox clan drew the shape, thinking that it was much easier than other demon beasts, and the transformation was also easy to cross the thunder tribulation, like a talent given to them by the heavens.

There are also those ancient beasts, like a thousand-faced fox, a strange or nine-tailed fox, which are favored by heaven and earth, but those auspicious beasts, those are not amazingly talented, as if they are the darlings of heaven and earth.

Zhu He's face became a little serious, and he continued: "Later, Ding Zhisheng entered Beijing to take the exam, but the woman remarried into Jiafu without permission and became the concubine of a son of Jiafu, and Jiafu also gave that small group of fox clans a place to live. ”

Chen Xi blinked, but this was interesting.

The woman on the wall sat there, looking at the backyard from afar, because it was too far away to even see people, let alone hear voices.

The bored woman couldn't help but ask the man next to her, "What do you say the dead fat man is talking to the prince?"

Man: "......"

"You said that Zhao Yuyu doesn't like our prince......"

Man: "......"

"You said that the prince didn't know that we were here, if he did, why didn't he greet us all the way. ”

Man: "Don't speculate about the prince's thoughts." ”

In the backyard.

Zhu He continued: "At that time, everyone was scolding that woman, saying that the demon is the demon, and the animal is the animal, and everything that is ugly is scolded. Then Zhu He sneered and said: "They didn't dare to scold the Jia family, even the group of foxes didn't dare to scold, but when they scolded the woman for being tired, they brought a few words to the group of foxes." ”

"Later, Ding Zhisheng went to high school to explore flowers, and when he came back, he took that woman off?"

Zhu He nodded and said: "What the little prince said is good, but what the little prince didn't expect is that Ding Zhisheng, after he came back, he had a good relationship with the Jia family who once squeezed the Ding family and later occupied his wife." ”

Chen Xi turned around and said: "Ding Zhisheng was born as a scholar, but he is in charge of the military power in the five cities of Qicheng, although he does not have too many troops, but this is an excellent port for water transportation, so how much ability and ruthlessness he has, in fact, Lord Zhu has figured out a thing or two in his heart." ”

Zhu He sneered: "It's a white-eyed wolf, and it's cold-blooded." ”

Chen Xi smiled: "But he doesn't seem to have killed that woman." ”

Zhu He shook his head and said: "That woman left the Jia family after Ding Zhisheng came back and wrote a letter of resignation, but the group of fox clans was poisoned by Ding Zhisheng, whether it was to take revenge on the woman, or because no one in the fox clan looked up to him back then, anyway, the crime was settled, and there was no one alive." ”

The woman committed suicide by throwing herself into the river many times, but she was not allowed to die, every time she was washed up by the waves, and Ding Zhisheng didn't care about her anymore, as if she wanted her to bear the pain of all the relatives leaving. ”

Chen Xi laughed: "I can't die a few times? I heard that there is a spirit across the river, but I don't know if it's true or not." ”

Zhu He was a little embarrassed, and then said with a smile: "It's just a rumor, just a rumor." ”

Chen Xi nodded, looking playful: "Oh, it's a rumor." ”
