Zhu Shenxuan, who was watching his servants practicing in Heilongtan, sneezed several times in succession. Suddenly, for no apparent reason, a servant rushed over and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Prince Shen is here."
"Prince Shen, what Prince Shen?" Looking at the anxious servant, Zhu Shenxuan frowned.
"Prince Shen of Lu'an Mansion"
What! Zhu Shenxuan was confused. Lu'an Mansion was five or six hundred miles away, and the two families had almost no contact. Why did they suddenly end up here?
"I heard that the refugees were coming. Lu'an Mansion was occupied by the bandit army. The people of Jin Yiwei rescued Prince Shen..."
Zhu Shenxuan didn't wait for him to finish, he hurriedly got on his horse and hurried back to his house. After all, he was a relative and a great-grandfather, so he should be well received.
Receiving a royal relative is no small matter. The rules and pomp must be followed, even if the relative is a refugee.
Here, Zhu Shenxuan hurried home to inform the queen about the matter and then arranged for the housekeeper to take care of the matters. For example, he first opened the main entrance of the palace and then rinsed it with clean water. The lighting of lanterns and colorful decorations was also indispensable and could not be done carelessly.
What's more important is that it's noon at this time, and the banquet is the top priority. In addition to the exquisite dishes, it also needs to be accompanied by respectable people.
Needless to say, Wang Jimo, Cai Maode and others were definitely guests at the table at this time, and even Zhou Yuji could not escape.
The servant who was sent to the ordinary house was stopped under the corner tower in shock: "The factory boss is dealing with official business and has no time for other things!"
Chang Yu was indeed handling official business. He was chatting with Wu Mengming and Tang Potian in the corner tower while discussing how to blackmail the old man Zhu Xiaoyong.
At this time, the dignified King Shen Zhu Xiaoyong was lying in his luxurious car, closing his eyes and concentrating. The car was parked outside the south gate of the palace. He could only enter the palace after the palace of Jin was ready.
The people in the city watched the excitement. The news that Prince Shen of Lu'an Prefecture came to visit relatives spread throughout the streets and alleys of Taiyuan City, and countless people came to watch.
The outsiders looked at the excitement, while the insiders looked solemn. They looked at King Shen, a man with a big car and a small car. Is he just visiting relatives? Nonsense, the vassal king is not allowed to leave the fiefdom without the emperor's order. It is an ancestral rule to move around without permission!
It seems that there is big trouble in Lu'an Mansion!
After the Jin Palace was ready, Zhu Xiaoyong got out of the car and walked tremblingly into the gate of the palace with the support of his son.
At this time, Zhu Shenxuan had already respectfully led the royal palace and the civil and military officials in Taiyuan City to line up to greet him.
Although they were both vassal kings, Zhu Xiaoyong was really senior, even the current emperor was two generations behind him, so Zhu Shenxuan wanted to show great gifts, even to the queen.
From the greeting to the table, there were countless red tapes. The civil servants felt fine, but the dignified commander Zhou Yuji really endured it from beginning to end. He suddenly realized that Chang Yu's so-called handling of official affairs was really wise.
This kid is really smart. Zhou Yuji secretly admired him, but he had to bite the bullet and sit down at the table. After all, as the leader of the generals, he had to accompany him, and when the enemy and we were at a truce, it was difficult for him to find an excuse to leave.
"I heard that the factory director of Dongchang is in Taiyuan at this time?" King Shen said very little during the dinner, but he suddenly asked this question.
"Yes, Mr. Factory Superintendent is too busy with official duties at the moment to accompany you. He will come later," Cai Maode, Zhu Shenxuan and others responded quickly.
snort! Zhu Xiaoyong snorted coldly and said nothing.
Everyone looked at each other and knew that he was unhappy. After all, this guy, who even Chongzhen wanted to call Shengye, had a high seniority and high arrogance. He was obviously unhappy with Chang Yu.
I'm afraid you've found the wrong person by relying on your old age. That young man is not a good person, so you'd better not show off to him! Zhou Yuji looked at Zhu Xiaoyong's expression and muttered in his heart, but he also felt a sense of schadenfreude. He wanted to see Zhu Xiaoyong's expression, and also wanted to see Chang Yu's reaction.
Everyone has a desire to watch theater, and he is not immune to it.
Because King Shen and his family were tired from traveling, the reception banquet ended quickly and everyone dispersed. After Zhu Shenxuan arranged for King Shen and his family to rest in a separate courtyard, he sent someone to rush Chang Yu to ask for clarification.
After all, there were some things that he couldn't say during the dinner, and it was hard for him to ask if Zhu Xiaoyong didn't say anything.
After walking around eight times, the servant finally found Chang Yu's whereabouts: "Your Majesty, the factory supervisor is in Xihaizi."
"Xihaizi, what is he doing there?" Zhu Shenxuan was puzzled.
"fight"
ah! Zhu Shenxuan was startled at first, and then he became more energetic: "Call someone to copy the guy!"
Bang bang bang, next to the grove beside Xihaizi Lake, Chang Yu was shirtless and sweating profusely in the cold wind, punching the sandbag in front of him like the wind.
"The factory master's physical strength is truly unmatched by ordinary people. Even those born with supernatural powers are much inferior." Tu Yuan murmured to Tie Zhu in a low voice.
What they saw about Chang Yu was really unbelievable. A stone bow could be used to shoot left and right for nearly a hundred times. Although a person with supernatural power could also do it, but he was almost out of power and resting every half an hour would never be able to restrain the chicken. However, Chang Yu only needed It will be back to normal in a moment.
In this way, he continued to practice bowing, horse riding, shooting, wrestling and boxing almost non-stop. He made rapid progress and his followers were stunned.
With a pop, under Chang Yu's continuous punches, the sandbag burst open and fine sand flew out.
The quality of this cloth bag is not good, Chang Yu sighed. After all, it was temporarily sewn and could not be compared with the materials used for later generations of special sandbags.
"Sew a few more for later use," Chang Yu said, reaching out to take the towel from Tie Zhu and wiping his sweat, and then said to Tu Yuan, "Come here and practice your skills."
"okay!"
Tu Yuan chuckled, took off his coat and rushed towards Chang Yu...
When Zhu Shenxuan arrived, Chang Yu had just knocked Tu Yuan over. A burly and powerful man like Tu Yuan was perfect as a sparring partner. He could fight and resist beatings. Who should I choose instead of him?
Looking at Chang Yu who was panting, covered in tendons and bleeding from the corners of his mouth, Zhu Shenxuan took a long breath and glanced at Tu Yuan who was lying on the ground gasping for breath, thinking that this kid actually dared to fight back and was ruthless.
Little did he know that it was Chang Yu who asked Tu Yuan to fight with all his strength, not to let loose, and to fight with all his might.
"Prince Jin is not at home to greet relatives, why are you going out to the wilderness? Oh, I'm going to bring so many soldiers. What do you want to do, rebel!" Chang Yu joked while wiping his sweat.
Although it was a joke, Zhu Shenxuan shuddered and jumped off his horse: "Can you stop making such a joke? I ask you why you don't go to the palace for the banquet."
Chang Yu rolled his eyes: "Our family doesn't like that occasion. It's boring to sit there with a bunch of old men and be lifeless."
Zhu Shenxuan actually nodded. He felt the same, and then changed the subject: "Tell me what's going on. Why did this young man from Prince Shen's family end up in Taiyuan?"
"Didn't the old man tell you?" Chang Yu smiled and started to get dressed.
"The words are unclear. It is said that the bandit army has broken through Lu'an. I don't want to say more. I am just confused. Since he escaped, he couldn't go anywhere in the southeast, northwest, and why he rushed to Taiyuan. Coincidentally, it was Commander Wu who made the envoy I personally escorted you here, Mr. Factory Master, is there any way here? Mr. Wu went out of the city a few days ago to pick up my relatives?"
Chang Yu's heart tightened and he said: "What are you talking about? Your Majesty, please don't slap our family indiscriminately. How could our family and Mr. Wu predict the bandit army's attack on Lu'an and go to pick up Prince Shen in advance? What's more, even if I knew in advance that without the emperor's order, our family would not be able to show such hospitality."
"Then tell me why there are so many coincidences?" Zhu Shenxuan had a playful smile on his lips.
"Coincidences cannot be written, and there are many coincidences in the world. The day before yesterday, our family sent Commander Wu to the east to find out the movements of Liu's Eastern Route Army. It just so happened that as soon as Mr. Wu arrived in Lu'an, he encountered a bandit army that broke into the city, and King Shen fled. So Mr. Wu took advantage of the situation and rescued him and sent him to this place, that's all."
"Jin Yiwei and Dongchang Fans are all over the Ming Dynasty. Do you need the dignified Jin Yiwei commander to go out personally to find out information?" Zhu Shenxuan's smile became even stronger.
"The bandit leader Liu Fangliang's Eastern Route Army is invincible in the east. The prefectures and counties it encounters cannot match its power, causing panic among the people. The local officials are uncertain and have no intention of stopping the enemy. At this time, one person is needed to stabilize people's hearts. Master Wu is the commander of Jin Yiwei. As an envoy, it would be best if he has a great reputation, and he is of little use in Taiyuan, so our family sent him there," Chang Yu said seriously.
"Is that true?" Zhu Shenxuan asked with squinting eyes.
"if not"
Chang Yu snorted coldly: "Our family has sent people to Beijing at noon to report this matter to the Holy One. That's what we said. Why don't you believe it? Besides, this matter is a secret of the East Factory and outsiders have no right to know it. If you don't see the exchange between us, Well, our family doesn’t even bother to talk to you.”
"Hey, which one of us gave it to the other, I didn't say I didn't believe it, I just asked casually, Mr. Factory, don't take it seriously." Zhu Shenxuan saw Chang Yu's expression and hurried over to get close to him.
"Young Master." Chang Yu curled his lips and said, "Are you bringing so many people here to challenge our family?"
"How can it be"
Zhu Shenxuan said seriously: "I heard that the factory master was training troops here, so he wanted to come over and compete."
"You can pull it over." Chang Yu glanced at the servant behind him, and then looked into the distance. By the lakeside, Jia Wai Xiong was training with three hundred elite Jinwu Guards.
"Your people are no match for them"
Zhu Shenxuan was not convinced anymore: "Isn't Jinwu Guard a rookie too? There's nothing to be afraid of!"
"These rookies have seen blood," Chang Yu said with a smile.
"Besides, my king's people have also seen blood, and their legs have never been weak." Zhu Shenxuan became more and more unconvinced.
Chang Yu smiled bitterly. The Jinwu Guards were the first to resist Luo Hu's Zhenshan Camp, while Zhu Shenxuan's men were just picking up holes on the edge of the battlefield. More importantly, although his servants were strong, Jia Waixiong's three hundred men But they are all chosen from Jinwuwei.
"Since you want to learn from each other so much, I won't let you down!" Chang Yu said and gave Tu Yuan a look.
Tu Yuan chuckled and pointed toward the lake: "Your Majesty, please."
"Sun Quan, go play with them," Zhu Shenxuan said with a relaxed smile to the head servant behind him.
Sun Quan immediately rode towards the lake with more than fifty servants.
"Why don't you go and see the excitement, Your Majesty? Do you still want to discuss things with our family?" Chang Yu asked curiously when he saw that Zhu Shenxuan had not left.
"This is indeed the plan!"
Zhu Shenxuan raised his chin proudly.
Chang Yu was so shocked that he almost dropped his jaw. He bluntly said that he could kill Zhu Shenxuan in a hundred ways in a one-on-one fight, and it would be very easy.
"I know that my fists and feet are no match for you. Let's compete with others." Chang Yu's expression stimulated Zhu Shenxuan, and his face turned red.
"What's the competition?" Chang Yu breathed a sigh of relief. If it was really a fist and kick competition, he really wouldn't be able to attack his brother-in-law.
