After killing the third uncle and his wife, although Qi Yanming felt sore and weak all over, he did not sit down and rest immediately. Instead, he took advantage of the fact that it was not yet completely dawn, Qi Yanming dragged his heavy body to the gate of the yard.

Before leaving the door, lock the outside door with a lock, and then climb over the wall and enter the yard.

The reason for doing this is because Qi Yanming knew that he had not walked far in his current physical condition, so it was best to have a rest here. However, he was worried that someone would come to find the third uncle and his wife, so he went from

The door is locked outside, so that even if someone comes, he will only think that the third uncle and his wife are not at home, and at least no one should break in in a short period of time.

After returning to the yard, Qi Yanming threw the bodies of the third uncle and his wife into the west room of the main room. This incident alone consumed most of his physical strength. Finally, he finally dragged his body back to the east room, and he fell down.

I couldn't get up again in bed, and my consciousness was a little blurred, so I finally fell asleep in a drowsy manner.

Because of the poisoning, Qi Yanming's body was extremely weak. He was sleeping very well. When he woke up, he found that it was already dark. This shocked him first and immediately got up from the bed to check.

After a moment, I found that there was nothing unusual in the room and the yard, and no one had touched the body of the third uncle and his wife, which made Qi Yanming feel relieved.

Now while it was dark, Qi Yanming went to the shed to make something for him randomly. After a whole day of sleep, although he still felt very uncomfortable in his stomach and had no energy in his whole body, he had improved a lot before.

Especially after eating, Qi Yanming felt that he had recovered a lot of energy.

The place of right and wrong cannot be kept for a long time. If the third uncle and his wife do not show up for several days, they will definitely attract the attention of the villagers. So Qi Yanming felt that his physical strength had recovered a little, so he immediately cleaned up some of the food in his uncle's house, and then climbed over the wall while the night was dark.

I went out and ran all the way to Shizui Cliff, then found a cave to stay for a few days. When my body recovered, I climbed over Shizui Cliff and left the territory of Bazhou.

Just when Qi Yanming finally escaped from the encirclement of officers and soldiers after a lifetime of death, Zhou Chong and his group also came to Shandong, and soon arrived at Qingzhou Prefecture next to Mount Tai. He turned from Qingzhou Prefecture to the east and arrived at Weihaiwei.

Then board the ship there and you can return as the same route.

Last time, Zhou Chong and his friends passed by Qingzhou, but because they were in a hurry to go, they only stayed in Qingzhou City for one night. They left immediately the next morning and had no time to enjoy the scenery in the city. As for Mount Tai, not far away,

They could only take a look from a distance.

However, when he came back this time, Zhou Chong planned to stay in the city for two days. First, Jin Xuan is pregnant now and should not be bumpy for a long time. She needs to cultivate her body in the city. Second, it is a rare opportunity for Bracelet and Xie Lingyun to go on

When he passed by Mount Tai, he wanted to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Mount Tai. Unfortunately, there was no time at that time. Zhou Chong had already promised them to climb Mount Tai again when they came back, so he couldn't break his promise. There was another third reason, that is, Zhou Chong wanted to

Visit someone in the city and discuss a business by the way.

Zhou Chong was very low-key all the way. When he passed by some prefectures, he did not fight his ceremonial war, and even many local officials did not know about his arrival. However, when he arrived in Qingzhou, Zhou Chong sent someone to notify the city in advance.

The officials then entered Qingzhou with the ceremonial guards equipped by the court. As a result, when they arrived at Qingzhou City, local prefects, Tongzhi and other officials also stood in front of the city gate to greet them, but the one standing in front of these officials was not Qingzhou.

The prefect is a middle-aged man in his thirties wearing a python robe and a jade belt around his waist.

Zhou Chong was not surprised by this middle-aged man standing at the head of the official. If he had guessed correctly, the other party should have been Zhu Yousheng, the King of Heng, who was granted the title of Qingzhou. King Heng and Emperor Xiaozong were half-brothers of the same father and father. The brother, that is, the uncle of Emperor Zhengde, was granted the title of Qingzhou the year before Emperor Xiaozong's death, and his fiefdom included the entire Jiaodong Peninsula. This shows how Emperor Xiaozong favored this younger brother.

Zhou Chong was a little flattered when he saw Zhu Youxian, who was the king of foreign countries, but before he could get off the horse, Zhu Youxian came to greet him enthusiastically and smiled: "I guess this one is Mingman. The world's admiral Zhou Chongzhou, I like Master Zhou's Journey to the West. I have long wanted to make friends with Master Zhou, and I finally got what I want today!"

Seeing Zhu Youqian so enthusiastic, Zhou Chong hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "The prince's daughter's body actually came to greet the lower official in person, which really made the lower official flatter!"

In fact, what Zhou Chong didn't know was that the reason why King Heng came to greet him was not because he was the new Ming Dynasty upstart, but because Zhu Youqing liked literature very much and loved Journey to the West, so he was aimed at Zhou Chong. He was the author of Journey to the West, so he came to greet him in person. Otherwise, if it were another senior official of the court, he might not have invited him at all.

Next time, Zhou Chong and Zhu Youqing said a few words of humility, and then the local Qingzhou officials standing behind also stepped forward to meet Zhou Chong. News in the officialdom has always spread the most quickly, so these Qingzhou officials all know, don't Seeing that Zhou Chong is not very old, but is highly favored by His Majesty. At a young age, he has been promoted to the important task of admiral of the four seas. He is in charge of the affairs of the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty. He is of high authority. If he curry favor with such a person , then they will have a big backer in the future.

It is precisely because of this that these Qingzhou officials also showed extraordinary enthusiasm for Zhou Chong. When they came forward to see him, they tried their best to show themselves, hoping to leave an impression on Zhou Chong, and Zhou Chong felt that these Qingzhou officials would also need to be used in the future, so he performed very seriously and kept the names of several important administrators in mind.

After the greetings, Zhu Youqing and his officials welcomed Zhou Chong and his group to Qingzhou City. This Qingzhou City is also called Yidu City. During the Yuan Dynasty, it was originally called Yidu Road, but after the Ming Dynasty was established, the road was abandoned as a palace. The name was also changed to Qingzhou Prefecture, so Yidu City is naturally also called Qingzhou City.

After entering Qingzhou City, local officials had already prepared residences for Zhou Chong and others. What surprised him was that this residence was next to Zhu Youyan's Heng Palace. It is said that Zhu Youyan took the initiative to clean up the place as Zhou. Their temporary residence and even the wind banquet was held in the Heng Palace.

Zhou Chong was a little confused at first about Zhu Youqing's warm hospitality, but after three rounds of drinking, Zhu Youqing also let go and began to discuss some stories about Journey to the West with him, and even asked some headaches. Questions, such as whether Sun Wukong really has no parents? Did Tang Seng get into the king of the Kingdom of Women, etc. Seeing his obsessive appearance, it was like the way a book fans in later generations met with a writer, which also made Zhou Chong Finally I understood why the other party was so enthusiastic. After a long time, it turned out that Zhu Youqing was actually his fan.

Speaking of the three reasons why Zhou Chong stayed in Qingzhou, the last one was to visit a person, and this person was his fan Zhu Youqing. The reason for visiting him was also very simple, that is, discuss with him to cooperate in development. The seagut resources produced along the coast of Jiaodong Peninsula jointly monopolize the production of MSG.

Originally, Zhou Chong planned to convince Zhengde and then let him cooperate with him in the name of Neiku to monopolize the production of MSG. At the same time, the imperial court issued a decree to prohibit unlimited fishing of sea ginger, so as to avoid extinction of sea ginger.

However, the development of things later exceeded Zhou Chong's previous expectations. He did not expect that Zhengde convinced him and made him become an official of the Ming Dynasty, and he also held heavy power in his hands. Although the change in his identity was a bit beyond Zhou Chong's It was expected, but it also brought him a lot of convenience. For example, for the huge profit-making business of MSG, Zhou Chong did not have to cooperate with Zhengde. As his identity, he found another local powerful man in Shandong and had already put the sea sausage. The acquisition was monopolized, and corresponding rules could be formulated to prevent overfishing of sea sausages. The powerful man Zhou Chong chose was King Heng Zhu Yousheng.

It was Zhou Chong who had the intention of cooperation. Zhu Youqing wanted to make friends with Zhou Chong because of Journey to the West, so the two naturally had a great chat at the banquet. Even the Qingzhou officials who were accompanying him were a little surprised. If not. I knew in advance that Zhou Chong and Zhu Youfeng didn’t know each other before, and I’m afraid they would think that they were friends who had known each other for many years and were reminiscing about the past.

After the reception banquet, Zhou Chong returned to his residence next to the palace to rest for a night. When the next morning, Jianer ran to Zhou Chong and Jinxuan's room without any scruples, and then clamored to climb Mount Tai. Compared with later generations, Mount Tai was definitely the world's number one mountain in this era. Even the emperor thought of Mount Tai for the Fengshan, which shows the charm of Mount Tai.

Zhou Chong was a little worried about Jinxuan's health, so he wanted her to stay in her residence for a day and just take her bracelet and the others to climb Mount Tai. However, Jinxuan disagreed. In her words, she passed by Mount Tai twice. It would be a pity if she could not climb Mount Tai. As for her body, Jinxuan did not show off and told Zhou Chongda that she could do what she could. When she was tired, she would rest on the mountain and would never hurt her child. .

Speaking of which, Jinxuan is now over the first three months of pregnancy, and except for some morning sickness, everything else is very good. And if everyone goes to Taishan, Jinxuan will only stay alone. It was really boring here, so after Zhou Chong thought about it for a while, he finally agreed to let Jinxuan go to Taishan with them to have fun.
