The number of officers in Dianmao gradually increased, and the deliberate low talk was a little more than before, but Zhao Xingde seemed to be unaware of anything. Shuai Chou had a book called "People" in his left hand and a file in his right hand, but his eyes fell in the middle, as if he was thinking about something. Since the huge changes occurred in the Ezhou court, he has always been in this state of worry, and his thick eyebrows have rarely been stretched out several times.

"General Zhao," Du Chujiao stood behind the Shuai Case and whispered, "It's all here."

"Well." Zhao Xingde nodded and looked around the hall. Wherever his eyes reached, his whispers stopped immediately.

"Very good, today we gathered generals to announce something." Zhao Xingde said in a deep voice, "This army is stationed in Guangzhou. I have some misunderstandings with the local government a few days ago. Now I have fully resolved my past grudges. The general will go ashore to the banquet at the invitation of Guangzhou Prefecture. The command of the navy will be temporarily replaced by Zhou and Zhou. During the absence of the ship, no matter what happens, you must obey the military orders of Zhou and the military orders of Zhou. Do you understand?"

"Abide by the order!" the navy officers replied in unison.

Zhou He was a member of the Ministry of War Department, and was a secret in the navy. Since the establishment of the Ezhou system, the imperial court has abolished the system of eunuchs and supervised the surveillance of the troops stationed in various places. Although the Ministry of War Department has installed many secret spies in each army, the identity of the general of the Ministry of War Department is open, and sending it to the army is actually the identity of the "military supervisor". Therefore, when Zhao Xingde was not in the army, Zhou He was in charge of the navy. It had both identity and means, which was the most "reasonable" arrangement.

However, the expressions of the generals were not relaxed, especially those of Du Chujiao, Liu Zhijian and other generals of Xia State. After only a few hours before and after the banquet, Zhao Xingde solemnly arranged for Zhou He to take charge of the navy, which showed that he was not very at ease with his sincerity in Guangzhou. The party struggles became more and more fierce, and all parties were doing everything they could. Chen Gongju held a banquet to invite him, and no one could tell whether it was good intentions or malicious.

Feng Mi hesitated for a moment and stepped forward and said, "Shuai Zhao, why not give up this Guangzhou Prefecture invitation for a banquet, right?"

"Otherwise, we will lead our troops to surround the Guangzhou Wharf first," Ding Jin slapped his waist and said, "Why do people in Guangzhou dare to be foolish? Let's set fire to the Guangzhou Wharf." As soon as this was said, the other generals said it was. "Catch Chen Gongju first!" "...That's right, if we don't kill into Guangzhou Prefecture and settle the score with them, we will be very happy." These days, everyone has been very upset with Guangzhou Prefecture. If the Guangzhou Prefecture had not been stuck with the supply of the navy, the officers would have wished that they would go away immediately and would never deal with these civil officials who talked to each other again. In comparison, it would be much easier to kill people with a knife. The generals thought that since Guangzhou had given up and honestly sent the navy's supplies, the governor would not have to give them face.

Zhou He also stepped forward and said, "Master, please think twice."

"You don't have to persuade me anymore, I'm determined." Zhao Xingde waved his hand, but Zhou He did not retreat, and the other generals also stood there.

The scene was frozen for a while, and Zhao Xingde opened the file on his right hand and revealed a letter.

On the envelope, Zhou He saw that this was Chen Dong's handwriting, and his eyes suddenly showed a strange color.

"This is a handwritten book by Mr. Chen. He specially compiled the book with me and Mr. Chen to be this peacemaker." Zhao Xingde sighed and pondered: "It's okay for Mr. Chen to be a gentleman. I cannot ignore Mr. Chen's face. Shaoyang turned the tide in the most difficult time of the Song Dynasty and had the kindness of Zhao. Guangzhou is the place where Chen Shaoyang spent his hard work to manage, so he didn't want the Nanhai Navy to fight with Guangzhou." He raised his head and looked into the distance, and said in a deep tone, "The Song Dynasty is in turmoil, and everyone should work together."

"But....."

"Forget it," Zhao Xingde said in a deep voice: "Don't talk about going to the pier to attend a banquet, even if it's a dragon's pond, what's my fear?"

Seeing that he was firm in his attitude, the generals stopped persuading each other. Feng Mi, Liu Zhijian and others were worried and retreated without saying a word.

"Chen Shaoyang is the guarantee," Zhou He said to himself: "I guess Chen Gongju doesn't dare to do anything randomly."

"No wonder, it turns out that it was Chen Xianggong's face." Staff Officer Xu Zunyu said intimately.

Feeling the two gazes above, Xu Zunyu hurriedly looked at his nose and nose, and stood up respectfully.

Zhao Xingde also instructed the generals to go back and restrain the soldiers, so that there would be no trouble during this period, and then it was over. Xu Zunyu and the generals retreated together and returned to the cabin where the staff officers were. This was a cabin with four people. Among them, Feng Mi, the official rank of the Secret Pavilion, was the highest. Xu Zunyu and Liu Qi were the staff officers of the Shogunate of the Grand General, and Dong Xiaowu was the chief of the fire commander on the ship. There was a square wooden table and four chairs. The beds around were usually hung on the wall and were only placed at night. Therefore, although four officers lived, the indoor space did not appear narrow. Such treatment was worse than that of senior officers such as command and command, but it was much better than sailors sleeping in the hammocks in the bottom cabin.

The breeze blew, and the discussion and footsteps gradually faded away. The navy officers left the White Tiger Hall in groups of three or three, and jumped along the rope ladder into the boat waiting under the side of the boat. Xu Zunyu stood in front of the window, watching the boats sailing towards the warships in the distance, as if thinking about something.

"Mr. Zhao is too..." Dong Xiaowu sighed: "Oh, you must be careful of others!"

"Don't talk about others," Liu Shi also sighed: "Honest Master Chen was just framed and moved to the position? He should be more careful."

"Mr. Zhao is a gentleman of the world. He has already put his personal life, death, honor and disgrace. If not, how could he easily hand over military power in Bianliang? After the Ezhou quelled the rebellion, how could he return with seals and be placed in the Wuchang Marquis' Mansion. This time, Mr. Chen must have advised him to endure the country. It's a pity that he would give up the mediocre officials in Guangzhou." Feng Mi cursed angrily, and suddenly saw Xu Zunyu standing in front of the window and asking, and shouted, "Brother Xu, do you think so?"

"That's right," Xu Zunyu was listening to several people in the room, but at this moment he pretended to have just come back to his senses. He was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "General Zhao is a great righteousness, not something we can match." At this time, the hull shook slightly, but the sailor pulled up the anchor chain, hung half a sail, and the warship slowly sailed towards the port. Xu Zunyu looked at the pier in the north, with a complicated look flashing in his eyes.

The warships of the Nanhai Navy were still anchored in the outer sea. Zhao Xingde's ship was alone at the port at the Wharf of Western Australia and was waiting for Zhao Xingde to return here. The pier was the place in Guangzhou. Although Gongle Tower was next to the pier and was only two hundred steps from the berth to the restaurant, Guangzhou Prefecture still sent ten carriages to welcome them with full ceremonial guards. Liu Yu, the commander of the Maritime Department, was waiting for the dock, and Chen Gongju, the governor, was waiting at the gate of Gongle Tower with many Guangzhou gentry. On the side of the Nanhai Navy, not only Du Chujiao, but also Zhou He and Liu Zhijian and other confidant generals did not follow him, but the Grenadier's Teeth Camp also stayed on the boat to wait.

Xu Zunyu stood behind the porthole, watching Zhao Xing being invited by Liu Yu to a high carriage, and then saw him getting off the carriage in front of Gongle Tower from afar.

The governor Chen Gongju and Liu Yu were with the governor on the left and right. The guests and hosts seemed to have a great chat. The gentry around them kept coming forward to see the situation was extremely lively until Zhao Xingde disappeared behind the gate of Gongle Tower. A quarter of an hour later, the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers outside the dock did not stop. Not only did the crowd gather around Gongle Tower not decrease, but more and more, as if the Lantern Festival was being played in the capital, the crowd was bustling and pushing. In order not to be chaotic, a large number of yamen runners were dispatched to maintain order outside Gongle Tower. However, the crowds gathered outside the door to watch the fun did not disperse.

"That's it?" Xu Zunyu said to himself, "It doesn't look like the Hongmen Banquet. Maybe it's because I judge a gentleman with the heart of a villain."

In addition to being ashamed, he breathed a sigh of relief. Xu Zunyu was short of money, and he owed a lot of money to others. His handle was in the hands of others. Therefore, he had to do many things that were against his conscience, including the movements of the navy, the governor's shogunate information, and even Zhao Xingde's temperament and habits, all revealed to some "unidentified" traitors. However, Xu Zunyu was a sage book after all, and he did not want Guangzhou Prefecture to be really unfavorable to Zhao Xingde. He still had a little conscience, even if there was only a small amount left.

"It doesn't look like the Hongmen Banquet." Xu Zunyu said it while thinking, his voice louder than usual.

"It's really not like it." Feng Mi, Liu Shi and others also hugged in front of the window and looked at it.

The drums and music on the shore were noisy and firecrackers were roaring. Such a lively and peaceful scene did not have the smell of swords and swords.

"Maybe, I'll be worried."

"Maybe." Xu Zunyu murmured, "I hope so."

"I didn't notice that there were so many people in Guangzhou a few days ago," Liu Shi stretched and said, "I can almost catch up with Suhang."

All the officers were young. They were nervous just now, and they saw nothing, and they slacked off again. Anyway, it was just a banquet. Whether it was good or bad, it would be a matter of one or two hours at most. Too much speculation was very meaningless. Thinking of this in their hearts, everyone returned to their seats and worked hard. Dong Xiaowu sorted out the instruments necessary to identify the direction. Feng Mi held his pen and practiced writing with a calm face. Liu Da carefully wiped his waist knife. Xu Zunyu was upset. He was still standing in front of the window and frowned at the Guangzhou Pier in the distance.

Suddenly, several screams came from the dock. Xu Zunyu looked closely and saw that the guests in the Gongle Tower ran out like a frightened duck. The yamen runners guarding outside not only did not stop them, but instead released the people with great understanding. After the crowd dispersed, two human walls appeared outside the Gongle Tower. The armor was distinctive and well-trained. This was obviously not the yamen runners, but the troops trained by the state army and the regiment. Outside the two human walls, people pushed and screamed in panic, fleeing layer by layer like waves. Almost in a moment, thousands of people ran away cleanly, leaving only a dozen injured people, and the ground was messy.

"It's really-" Xu Zunyu murmured with shock on his face, "Hongmen Banquet!"
