Empress Daming, Princess Zhaohua of Chu State, any identity is enough to crush the Lord Ning and Hu Yicai, the county guard of Quanzhou. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Although Ning Zhiwen said that Quanzhou was full of words, he also knew very well in his heart that if he offended the real emperor and nobles, and people wanted to break him, it would be really like playing. Although he is not as powerful as some other places, he has no power to resist, but do he really want to retreat to the sea and die in the world? He is already old, and the comfortable days and luxurious life on land have long become his habits, so how can he go down which road until he has to do so?

As for Hu Yicai, not to mention. Although it is a county guard, this official is really nothing to Princess Zhaohua?

"Why did Princess Zhaohua return to Chu at this time?" Ning Zhiwen asked suspiciously.

"It's probably for the Qi Chu war!" Hu Yicai said in a low voice: "The current war in Da Chu is not good, since Chu Ming is an in-law, he will definitely not sit idly by." ”

Ning Zhiwen nodded, and his heart could only be explained like this, they had long known about the northwest of the Qi State, and a force from the Ming State even helped Xinning's Wu Teng attack the Lingchuan of the Qi State.

"Brother Ning, I have to go back to the government office immediately and gather all the subordinate officials to go to the dock to greet me." Hu Yicai arched his hand and said: "You can't slack off here, you have to invite some gentlemen and nobles of sufficient weight to go with me." ”

"This Ning knows, Brother Hu can rest assured." Ning Zhiwen nodded and said, although it is rumored that Princess Zhaohua and Emperor Chu are not in harmony, they are inseparable, and they still have to mix in Chu State, such a character cannot afford to offend.

Now that Chu and Qi are at war, the form of Chu State is very bad, but even if there is a big problem in Chu State, this is still the queen of the Ming Dynasty, she really wants to offend her, and there will be endless troubles, Ning Zhiwen doesn't want to be targeted by the queen of a country.

Hu Yicai left in a hurry, but Ning Zhiwen did not go out immediately in a hurry, but sat there and pondered for a while before someone called his eldest son, Ning Zefeng.

"Zefeng, have all your guests there been settled?" Ning Zhiwen looked at his eldest son, the eldest son in his early thirties, quite calm, and his authority in the Ning clan was getting heavier.

"Father, where do I have any guests?" Ning Zefeng respectfully bowed his hand and answered Lao Tzu's question.

Ning Zhiwen looked at his eldest son with some sarcasm, and said slowly: "Zefeng, do you think that being a father is already old and faint?" Or do you think that a gentleman can be bullied? ”

Ning Zefeng was shocked, this was a very serious accusation. It's really going to make Lao Tzu unhappy, and it's not like playing to clean up yourself. Immediately he knelt down.

"Father, children dare not deceive their fathers." He said with his head bowed.

"Don't forget, the Ning family is still in charge of your old man." Ning Zhiwen stood up and said with some anger: "Don't think that I don't know about those small actions you did. Do you hide people in your own courtyard and think you can hide them from everyone? Don't forget, Da Chu Neiwei is not a vegetarian, if your small actions are known, it will be to destroy the family, especially at this time. Did you know that the Grand Steward had quietly killed three people? ”

With a sudden, Ning Zefeng's cold sweat suddenly broke out, and he raised his head in shock and looked at his father: "Father." ”

Ning Zhiwen snorted: "The state of Chu hasn't died yet?" The war in Qi and Chu is changing rapidly, and now the Ming Kingdom has been mixed in again, don't you know, Empress Daming, Princess Zhaohua of Dachu has now arrived in Quanzhou Port. There are some people from the Qi Kingdom hidden in your house, do you think it is seamless? If you don't want people to know, you can't do it unless you do. Do you think that in Quanzhou, you can really cover the sky with one hand? ”

"Father, the child is convicted." Ning Zefeng touched the ground with his forehead, "But the child is also thinking about the Ning family, now His Majesty the Great Chu Emperor is trapped in Luzhou, Qi State, and he is about to be defeated, it is difficult to say whether he can save his life, once the Qi State wins a big victory and destroys the Chu State, then the Zhou family of Bozhou of Qi State will rise in momentum, and the son just wants to find a way back for the Ning family." ”

"If it weren't for this, I would have been rude to you a long time ago!" Ning Zhiwen took a breath and sat down, "Hide those people well, don't leak a little rumor, and wait for Princess Zhaohua to leave, and then send them away." ”

"My son understood."

Ning Zhiwen looked at Ning Zefeng, who was sweating, and waved his hand a little upset, signaling him to leave. Looking at the back of his son's departure, Ning Zefeng's face slowly sank.

Is the youngest son Ning Zeyuan dead or alive? The eldest son's actions during this time, he is not unaware, the fight between the two sons, he knows it even more, but the Ning clan needs a resolute, ruthless, and powerful person with strong wrists and minds to sit in order to ensure long-term prosperity, and the good baby can't suppress the subordinates of the Ning clan, for the Ning clan who eats meat, a guy who eats grass comes to power, for the Ning clan, it is a catastrophe.

Therefore, he sat back and watched the open and secret struggle between his two sons.

But this time, the eldest son's actions were a little out of bounds, and he tried everything to weaken Ning Zeyuan's strength to go to sea, was he planning to kill his only brother at sea?

Ning Zhiwen's face was cloudy.

"Steward!" He called out in a low voice.

The chief steward immediately appeared at the door of the ashram and stepped through the door, "Master, what are your orders?" ”

"Take my post and invite everyone in Quanzhou City to go with me to the dock to meet Princess Zhaohua." He commanded.

"Yes, sir."

At the wharf of Quanzhou Port, the huge Taiping ship has entered the port, and in contrast to the Taiping ship, the ships that were originally docked in the port have immediately become small. At this time, the Taiping ship had unabashedly exposed its fangs, and the felt cloth covering the thunderbolt and the crossbow machine had been torn off, revealing their hideous faces, eight thunderbolts, dozens of crossbow machines, so that all those who knew how to do it were a little panicked. And Quanzhou, there has been no shortage of people who know how to fight in water.

Looking at the huge hull of the Taiping Ship, the terrifying weapons on the hull, and the majestic warriors on the deck, many people secretly smacked in their hearts, such a battleship, unless Master Ning moved out the things at the bottom of the box at home, otherwise the Quanzhou sailors would be crushed!

Even if there are many ships in the Quanzhou Naval Division, can a hundred small sampans together threaten a huge warship?

The Taiping ship was quietly parked in the harbor, on the mast, hanging the sun and moon flag of the Ming Dynasty and the fire and phoenix flag of the Chu State, although the anchor was lowered, but there was no springboard, the warriors on the ship were like sculptures, they had been standing silently for a long time, but still not even one person moved, and the whole port was silent except for the sound of the waves crashing on the embankment.

The Taiping ship has put too much pressure on them.

Zhou Li's helmet and armor, holding the knife on the bow of the boat, a one-eyed shining, once developed, brocade clothes returned to his hometown, now he has this feeling very much, many years ago, he was driven out of the Quanzhou Naval Division, lost all his official positions and titles, and shrank in a small fishing village in Quanzhou to live in fear, and later because he had to take refuge in Lord Ning, but in Ning's family, his Ning position is just a dog's leg, a senior thug. I have to say that it has been more than two years, and now it should be said that it was three years ago, and my departure was an extremely wise decision. The sailor in charge of a country is a little comparable to his previous position in the Ning clan. What's more, the monarch he took refuge in was a master with the same mind as the sky who was determined to be in the four seas, and such a person was worthy of serving him all his life.

There was a sound of horses' hooves vibrating in the distance, Zhou Li smiled slightly, the movements of Quanzhou Mansion were still quite fast, and soon, a team of cavalry appeared in his eyes, behind the cavalry, followed by a team of black and pressed foot soldiers, who could assemble the troops and rush to the port so quickly on the first day of the Lunar New Year, which showed that the army of Dachu still had considerable combat effectiveness.

The soldiers rushed into the port, and under the command of the officer, they lined up and set up defenses, and in a short time, they completed the control of the port, and cut off all irrelevant people.

As soon as he finished doing this, more carriages appeared in Zhou Li's field of vision. The carriage that arrived first moved down the rolls of the red carpet and spread it from a distance all the way to the bottom of the Taiping. The carriage stopped at the edge of the red carpet, and from it came down Quanzhou officials in official uniforms one by one, and further behind, the gentry and magnates living in Quanzhou also stepped off the carriage and lined up one after another.

Quanzhou is really a very efficient city! Zhou Li sighed in his heart, it was like this in the past, a few years have passed, and it is still like this now. Zhou Li, who is well aware of the inside story here, knows very well that all this can be done not because of how powerful the government is, but because there is a Ning family here.

"Minister, Hu Yicai, the county guard of Quanzhou, led the county officials to ask to see Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaohua!" Hu Yicai knelt on the red carpet in a disciplined manner and bowed to the Taiping ship. He only called Min Ruoxi's title Princess Zhaohua in Dachu, of course, because this time Min Ruoxi returned to Chu, the center of Dachu did not receive the other party's letter of state, of course, he couldn't call the other party the queen's mother.

A moment later, a somewhat cold voice sounded on the boat: "Her Royal Highness the princess Xuanquan County Shou Hu Yi is only here." ”

As the words landed, a rumbling sound rang out, and a huge gangplank was lowered from the ship.

Hu Yicai got up, straightened his clothes, glanced back at Ning Zhiwen who was a little farther away, and walked towards the Taiping ship.

Ning Zhiwen is the de facto boss of Quanzhou, but on such an occasion, he can only stay far away from other gentlemen in Quanzhou. Especially to show this in front of the royal people is to look for death.

There are things that can be done but not spoken, and can be done quietly, but they cannot be put on the table. Everyone knows it, but no one will say it.
