Zhu Wen was looking at the trembling officials in Pingjiang and deliberately lifted the reins. The Fengfeng-chasing horse snatched from Yao Tianxi's crotch, climbed into the air with his hooves and hissings in the sky, instantly scared away more than one-third of the officials.

The soldiers guarding the city were so scared that they wanted to close the city gate.

Zhen glared at the arrogant Zhu Wenzheng and cursed his teammate inwardly. He then turned over and dismounted, and said with a gentle look on his face: "Is the opposite person who welcomes me Ying Angel?"

Li Xu turned his head and saw the colorful flags waving behind him, and then stepped forward to greet him.

Zhen smiled with a smile on his face, without any arrogant and domineering look. He stepped forward to hold someone's hand and said with a grievance: "Hey, sir, you have worked hard, don't blame me for waiting for the delay on the road. It's really our poor and we have never seen the flower world here, so the journey has been delayed for a while." Li

Xu carefully pointed at the soldiers behind Zhu Zhen and said, "Sir, please joke. Look at the team behind you, the helmet is bright and armor is bright, tall and big, and it doesn't look like poverty." Zhu

Zhen glanced at Zhu Wenzheng with annoyance. He didn't care about these three rules at all. It's okay to scare people, but don't scare people.

He hurriedly explained: "Sir, I don't know that we Yingtian will naturally not treat the soldiers unfairly, but to be honest, I am an official, and I can't even pay my salary, so I have only strong troops."

"Oh! I don't know what your envoy means to this conflict?" Li Xu asked.

Naturally, we under us want to be more concerned about peace. This war cannot be fought. People live a hard life, so it is best not to fight. Our wife came here this time and said, since the prince is in your hands, we are willing to cede land and pay compensation. Anyway, there have been constant wars over the years, and there are only poor people left on the front line. Do you take it away if you want it?"

"Take as much as you want? Take as much as you want?" Li Xu asked in surprise.

"Yes, yes. But they are all poor people and have no supplies. But I heard that the Taiwei is kind and righteous, so I guess they won't make those people suffer." Zhu Zhen said, looking at the blue and white porcelain that fell to the ground, and excitedly said: "Sir, is this the legendary blue and white porcelain? Why did such a precious thing break?"

With a look of regret, Li Xu said proudly: "We Pingjiang is rich, so we naturally don't take the small blue and white porcelain seriously."

Zhu Zhen looked at Zhu Zhen's flattering appearance and was so angry that he didn't even bother to make a fuss. Thinking of the day when he met Zhu Zhen, Zhu Zhen specifically mentioned that he was responsible for singing the sing the sing the sing the sing the sing the sing the sing the sing the sing the sing the sing the sing the sing the sing the sing the sing the sing the sing the s

Hesitantly opened his mouth or not, Yao Tianxi pushed himself behind him.

Zhu Wenzheng immediately understood and pretended to behave and whispered: "Everyone, we must persuade the envoy tonight. Although we are poor, they are so rich. When they enter our territory, we have nothing, but we can take the opportunity to break into their defense! At that time, gold, silver, treasures, blue and white porcelain can be snatched back!"

Li Xu could hear it clearly at such a close distance.

I thought to myself that although Ying Tian was poor, their combat power was really strong. The soldiers who were escorting the envoys in front of me might not be able to be selected in Pingjiang.

If they really fight, they will break into the territory of the Taiwei regardless of everything, and the people will not suffer any disaster.

However, although he was afraid, Li Xu still pretended to be arrogant on his face.

"Sir, if you come from afar, please go to Pingjiang to rest first. We will discuss the peace talks later."

"good."

Zhu Zhen promised that the soldiers were dismissed and followed Li Xu into the city.

Zhen finally had the opportunity to watch Pingjiang Mansion with his own eyes.

There is always a difference between the legends and the real situation in the world. When Zhu Zhen was in Yingtian, it was said that Zhang Shicheng indulged his subordinates to embezzle the king's laws, and the people were poor and their lives were miserable.

But when Zhu Zhen arrived in Pingjiang, he saw a different scene.

The head-on business carriages and horses are endless, and it is not an exaggeration to describe the well-off people who can reach the destination.

Zhu Zhen couldn't help but think of a vicious circle in history, where the rich dynasty were always beaten by the poor dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang's Yingtian was too far behind Zhang Shicheng's Pingjiang.

Zhen even sold Zhang Shicheng's tablets of immortality in the market, which shows that Zhang Shicheng is greater than the living Bodhisattva in the eyes of the people of Pingjiang.

Zhu Zhen knew that in a few years, this place would be destroyed by Xu Da's Xiangyang cannon.

Even if they join themselves, the historical process will progress faster, and they will not necessarily face Xiangyang cannons, but artillery.

Li Xu, the host of the receptionist, saw Zhu Zhen and others looking like a country bumpkin entering the city, gradually became proud. He pointed at the east and west along the way, and kept asking Zhu Zhen, "You Yingtian, you must have never seen such a prosperous scene, right?"

"In your Yingtian, there must be no such luxurious house, right?"

"In your Yingtian, there must be no such delicious food, right?"

What makes people angry is that Zhu Wenzheng, who looks greedy, gets into a relationship with the little monk who was thrown into the toilet by him, and discusses something secretly from time to time.

The words of robbery made Li Xu, who was above him, always wanted to shivere.

Zhu Zhen was quite calm about this, "I said, Lord Li, when will you take us to see the Grand Marshal?"

Ps At this time, Zhang Shicheng had already established himself as King Cheng, but after being beaten by Tuotuo, he nominally returned to the embrace of the Yuan Dynasty and was named Taiwei by Emperor Shun.

Xu remembered Zhang Shicheng's arrangement, and immediately raised his airs and said slowly: "You are here from afar, so you should first see the customs and customs of Pingjiang. After all, you are poor and have never seen such a colorful world. As for Lord Taiwei, it will take some time. After all, the rule of Taiwei will last thousands of miles, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers wearing armor, and they are quite busy in government and military affairs."

"It seems you don't plan to negotiate with us? Ambassador Zhu, let's go back. I feel that fighting is nothing. Anyway, we are poor, but they are rich!" Zhu Wen said in his eyes.

Xu couldn't help but shivered, but remembered that this was Pingjiang, so he could not weaken his might and pretended to be arrogant and said: "Can you be able to negotiate, of course it depends on the mood of our Taiwei. What qualifications do you Yingtian have to take the initiative to negotiate with us now?"

Zhu Wenzheng shouted with a tiger face: "What do you mean? Do you really think your soldiers are our opponents? We are poor, but we have backbone!"

The face of the receptionist instantly became extremely gloomy and ugly. Just as he was about to open his mouth, Zhu Wenzhen's eyes were wide open, as if this guy could kill him on the spot if he said something unpleasant.

Yao Tianxi, who was still born, covered Zhu Wenzheng's mouth. Seeing that the little monk was very sensible, Zhu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, took out a stack of golden leaves from his arms, and handed them over with a smile.

"My lord, thank you for your hard work. This is a brief gift. Please accept it with a smile."

Seeing the silver handed over by Zhu Zhen laughing, Li Xu was secretly happy. Finally, there was a sensible person who took Jin Yezi and weighed it, sucked his teeth, shook his head and said, "I knew that there was no good or bad to receive you Ying Tianlai. There was only such a little thing. Okay, stay there. I will send someone to notify you if there is any news."

Turning his head and leaving.

Although the attitude of the officials in charge of reception was very average, the post station under Zhang Shicheng was quite generous.

Zhu Zhen has a four-entry yard. The yard is quite wide, with mountains, rocks, flowers and plants, waterside pavilions and corridors. There is also a clear small spring on the rock setting. At first glance, it is a garden designed by famous artists in Jiangnan.

In the middle is the master bedroom, with two secondary bedrooms on both sides, and there are horse sheds, forage rooms, and miscellaneous rooms.

When you enter the master bedroom, it is even more magnificent. On the wall is hung with Huang Gongwang's landscape paintings, on the bed is silk curtains, and the tables and chairs are obviously made of Huanghuali wood with cloud patterns.

In its magnificent, dignified and grand manner, it does not lose the delicateness of the skilled craftsmen in Jiangnan. Yao

Tianxi said in Zhu Zhen's ear with a traitor: "Master, this landscape painting is a work of Huang Gongwang. If it can bring the response to the sky, it will be worth thousands of taels of silver. This Zhang Shicheng is really rich."

At this time, the clerk who was responsible for taking care of the daily life of the envoy pushed the door and saw Zhu Zhen and his party looking at the furniture and calligraphy and paintings. He felt very contempt in his heart, but he seemed to be used to it.

He put a pot of Biluochun on the table and said with a smile: "Everyone, this calligraphy and painting is not valuable. Don't learn from Chen Youliang's messenger. He brought it wrong when he left."

Everyone's faces turned red, as if they were told something was wrong.

It was Yao Tianxi, with the most embarrassing face and hid behind everyone in depressed mood.

Zhen took out an inch of gold from his pocket and handed it over, "This lord is joking. Although we Yingtian is not as rich as Pingjiang, we are not as good as theft."

The clerk was obviously better than the receptionist. Seeing Zhu Zhen showing off his generous hand, he smiled and said, "The villain's surname is Lu Renjia, and he is the manager of the inn. If you have anything to help, please let me know."

Zhu Zhen laughed and said, "You are polite, Lord Lu. We are all from afar, full of dust. Please tell your subordinates to prepare more hot water for bathing and a sumptuous dinner."

"Okay." Lu Renjia bowed alone and wanted to retreat.

Zhen seemed to think of something, and said impatiently: "Sir Lu, let's wait, our girls in Yingtian are all vulgar. As we go along the way, we see that your girls in Pingjiang are good, you know."

I understand! I understand! Although the messenger is not old, he is indeed much more elegant than Chen Youliang's subordinates. Tonight I will ask you the top card of Chunjiang Tower to serve you, but you have to pay the money yourself."

It’s easy to say, it’s easy to say. Lord Lu, please go busy. After all, there are still fortifications to be busy at night, so I have to rest in advance." Zhu Zhen sat on the chair with a lewd smile on his face.

I understand! I understand! Lord Messenger, please okay." Lu Renjia turned around and left the yard, weighed the gold in his hand, and couldn't help but smile and said, "The earth bun that has never seen the world."
