379 Zhu Yuanzhang
Wang Zhong walked on the streets of Haozhou City and found that there were many vendors on the street, and there was an endless stream of pedestrians, which was a prosperous scene.
It is now the fourth year of Zhizheng, the Great Yuan court is corrupt, but the prestige of the Mongols is still there, and the world has not been corrupted to the roots, so the city of Haozhou is quite prosperous, which also shows that now is not the best time to overthrow the Mongol rule.
In the past few years, Wang Zhong has been shrinking the power of the Ming Sect, no longer opposing the Great Yuan court, but secretly accumulating strength and waiting for the opportunity.
At the same time, Wang Zhong is also looking for Zhang Sanfeng's whereabouts, but it is a pity that this peerless grandmaster Shenlong is not on Wudang Mountain all year round!
Zhang Sanfeng is Wen Tianxiang's apprentice, who was trained as a retainer of Emperor Song since he was a child, and lay with him in the "Taiji Xuan Coffin" for nearly 80 years.
Later, Zhang Sanfeng was born ahead of schedule to fight for Emperor Song, while creating a Wudang lineage, while looking for good seedlings to cultivate anti-Yuan.
It is precisely because Zhang Sanfeng always travels all over the world, although his martial arts are peerless, his reputation is not as good as that of Han Shantong, and the prestige of the Wudang faction in the rivers and lakes is also inferior to that of the White Lotus Sect and the Ming Sect!
Wang Zhong searched for three years, and finally found out that Zhang Sanfeng had come to "Haozhou City", so he put down the Ming Sect and came to Haozhou in person!
Standing on the streets of Haozhou City, Wang Zhong remembered that this is the starting point of the story of "Emperor Hongwu", and the little beggar Zhu Yuanzhang also changed the trajectory of his life here!
Wang Zhong walked into the largest restaurant in Haozhou City, and found a place against the wall in the hall, and a young girl walked up.
"Guest, what do you want to eat?"
The girl is at most sixteen or seventeen years old, and she looks delicate, although she is not stunning, but she is better than she is young, and her figure is good.
In the Central Plains ruled by the Great Yuan, because of the many reasons of excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, most of the daughters of the common people came out to work and fill the family, unlike the Song Dynasty, when the women did not go out of the gate, and the second door did not step.
Wang Zhong ordered a little side dish from the woman at random, and then sat in the "Ten Mile Fragrance" and poured himself a drink.
Zhang Sanfeng's whereabouts were erratic, and although Wang Zhong learned that he was coming to "Haozhou City", he didn't know where he was, so he could only find him in the most stupid way.
That's waiting!
It's just that what Wang Zhong didn't expect was that this wait was half a month, and Zhang Sanfeng never showed up, but he was familiar with the girl who ran the hall in "Shilixiang".
The girl's name is Qiaoqiao, her parents died when she was a child, and she came out to work to support herself at a very young age.
Originally, the restaurant was complicated, and there were all kinds of guests, and it was very inappropriate for a girl to run here.
However, Qiaoqiao is as her name suggests, she is very well-behaved, and she is diligent, and she is deeply loved by the restaurant owner, so she is hired at a high price to run the hall, but her mind is to get close to the water.
But Qiaoqiao has long had a heart, and has made a private agreement with her sweetheart for life, and has never accepted the "kindness" of the restaurant owner.
The restaurant owner is not easy to use, and although Qiaoqiao's sweetheart is a gangster, he is also a gangster in the size of this street, and the restaurant owner does not want to ask for trouble when he opens the door to do business.
Qiaoqiao has been doing it in the restaurant in this way, and has become a living signboard of "Ten Miles of Fragrance".
Many old customers of the restaurant are coming for Qiaoqiao, not because they want to eat her tofu, but because Qiaoqiao can speak well, has a clever mouth, and can often make people laugh, so the old customers like to ask her to order wine and food.
In fact, after Wang Zhong entered the "Ten Mile Fragrance", he also attracted Qiaoqiao's attention, because Wang Zhongzhong did not look like a guest who came to eat and drink.
In the past half a month, Wang Zhong came every morning, every time he looked for a table in the corner, every time he ordered a pot of wine, a few side dishes, sat for a day, and did not communicate with others, and the sun went down before leaving.
The owner of the restaurant never cared about Wang Zhong for the sake of silver, but Qiaoqiao thought that Wang Zhong was a strange person, at least every time she cleaned up Wang Zhong's table, she found that his wine and food had never been touched.
Even if the wine and food are not appetizing, people always have to eat to satisfy their hunger, but Wang Zhong has not moved at all in the past half a month, as if he doesn't need to eat and drink!
Today, Wang Zhong still came to "Shili Xiang" early in the morning, and as soon as he arrived, Qiaoqiao greeted him.
"Guest officer, there is a distinguished guest in the small shop today, it is inconvenient to entertain, you should go to the restaurant next door!"
Wang Zhong glanced at the restaurant slightly, and indeed found that there were not many guests in the hall, and there were two fierce and vicious people guarding the east box.
Qiaoqiao looked anxious, and kept persuading Wang Zhong to leave quickly, as if there was a flood beast in the restaurant.
"Is that guest a Mongolian?" asked Wang Zhong calmly to Qiaoqiao.
Qiaoqiao obviously didn't expect Wang Zhong to ask this question, so he was stunned for a moment, and then nodded desperately.
The Mongols were in the Central Plains ruled by the Great Yuan, and they were an absolute aristocratic class, and it was polite to bully men and women, so usually the Han people took a detour when they saw the Mongols.
Today, a Mongolian guest came to "Shilixiang", with two bodyguards and a team of soldiers, at first glance, it was either rich or expensive, and the guests inside would not be allowed to leave after coming to "Shilixiang".
Qiaoqiao was worried that Wang Zhong would not know the severity and collide with the Mongols, bringing disaster to himself.
Wang Zhong is not the only old customer reminded by Qiaoqiao, many people have been persuaded by her to quit, and it can be seen from this that this little girl has a good heart.
"It's business as usual, you prepare me two side dishes and a pot of wine!"
Wang Zhong did not listen to Qiaoqiao's advice, walked directly into the restaurant, sat in the old seat, and there was a guest next to him, a young man, less than twenty years old, who was also very calmly drinking and pouring himself.
The young man glanced at Wang Zhong as he entered the restaurant, his eyes flashed, and then he hid.
Qiaoqiao saw that Wang Zhong didn't listen to the advice, so she could only give up, and she had to remind others that naturally she couldn't waste too much time on Wang Zhong.
Not long after Wang Zhong sat down, the Mongolian guests in the box beckoned Qiaoqiao to come over to deliver wine, but Qiaoqiao didn't want to go, and the restaurant owner also arranged for another junior to serve the Mongolians.
Unexpectedly, the little two were kicked out of the box as soon as they walked into the box.
"Bastard, this king wants that chick to serve, is your boss deaf?"
A sturdy middle-aged man walked out of the box, his face full of anger, and the restaurant owner had long been frightened and hid under the table.
Qiaoqiao saw that he couldn't hide, so he could only step forward to serve, but unfortunately as soon as he got close to the Mongolian guest, he grabbed his wrist.
"It's so soft, this king came to this shabby restaurant this time, just for your main dish!" The Mongolian looked lewd and evil, looking at Qiaoqiao, and she trembled with fright.
"Lord Wang, spare the people's daughters!" Qiaoqiao begged bitterly.
The Mongols are called Tiblon, is the prince of the Great Yuan court, a high and powerful position, the march passed through the city of Haozhou, heard that a female running hall of Shilixiang is quite beautiful, specially came to "Shilixiang" to hunt for beauty.
Tiblon was moved when he saw Qiaoqiao, and pressed her directly on the dining table, wanting to correct Qiaoqiao on the spot in front of all the guests in the restaurant.
The guests of the restaurant dared not speak in anger, and the soldiers around them had already drawn their swords and forced them to watch this "good show".
Wang Zhong's right hand holding chopsticks moved slightly, and he just wanted to rescue Qiaoqiao, when a person rushed in at the door of the restaurant.
"Lord Wang, please spare the wife of the grass people who have not passed the door!"
As soon as this person arrived, the "Innate Yuan Yang Qi" in Wang Zhong's body moved, and at the same time, he also knew who it was.
The founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the protagonist of the Mandate of Heaven in the Hongwu world, and the great emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the first generation, he still called the name Zhu Chongba at this time!
