Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 106
Looking at the shops and pedestrians on the street through the rain curtain, there is always a hazy feeling.

However, Zhu Xiuyuan noticed the abnormality immediately.

This is not the way to Dong's Mansion, nor is it the way to Prince Poyang's Mansion!
Putting down the curtain, Zhu Xiuyuan thought in the rickety carriage: "What is the governor's plan? Even if he bears the wrath of the Poyang Palace, he still refuses to open the official warehouse. Could it be that there is something wrong with this official warehouse...?"

"Well, it's possible... I wonder where the butler will take us? What will he do? Hey, I hope he can think of a way..."

Shake all the way and analyze all the way.

Soon, Zhu Xiuyuan's carriage stopped in front of a certain restaurant in the east city of Jiangzhou.

Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng followed the butler into the restaurant.

The two of them were stunned, watching the butler skillfully instructing the shopkeeper to prepare a private room on the second floor, and then prepare a table of good wine and food... The butler was obviously a frequent visitor here.

Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng, the two sons-in-law, were always confused.

Are you... planning to treat them to dinner?

Because he didn't help Zhu Xiuyuan solve the problem of raising food for disaster relief, hosting a banquet was regarded as... "apology"?
It shouldn't be that simple.

Room on the second floor.

The three of them were polite and took their seats one after another.

After a while, the table was filled with good wine and good food. The wine and food had a strong aroma and aroused appetite.

"Dong Canjun, Mr. Zhu, there are only three of us here. You don't have to be polite. Let's eat first. When we are full, we can do things later."

The butler held up his chopsticks and greeted.

Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng had no choice but to grab their chopsticks and start eating and drinking.

However, because the housekeeper kept telling riddles, neither of them were satisfied with the food and only ate about three cents full.

The butler enjoyed the meal very much.

Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng could not tell at all that such an old man who was eating contentedly had once spoken so coldly in the back hall of the Yamen that the old fox was so scared that he did not dare to move even in his official career.

Finally, after the butler was satisfied with his meal, Dong Cheng handed over his hand, "Butler, regarding the food for disaster relief..."

"Dong Canjun, open the west window and see what you can find." The housekeeper smiled.

"Yes!" Dong Cheng's face suddenly became serious and he stood up immediately.

"Father-in-law, it's better for my son-in-law to do it." Zhu Xiuyuan quickly stood up and took over this "task" from Dong Cheng.

Dong Cheng nodded in agreement.

Zhu Xiuyuan walked to the west side of the private room, held the window with both hands, and pushed it out.

Dong Cheng also walked over, ready to take a look at what he could see through this window.

Only the palace steward slumped in his chair and did not move.

As soon as the window opened, the sound of the rainstorm outside came in.

It was accompanied by a moderate breeze, with fine rain and mist in it.

This kind of wind and rain blows on people's faces, making them feel chilly.

"This storm in Jiangzhou has been going on for more than half a month. When will it stop?"

Facing the cold wind and rain, the father-in-law sighed, his tone full of helplessness.

After sighing, he and Zhu Xiuyuan looked out the window together——

All you can see is the gate of a house!
Vermilion door, gilded copper door nails, marble stone lions, sapphire steps, white walls and green tiles!

The gate of this luxurious house was facing the window where Dong Cheng and Zhu Xiuyuan were.

However, the gate of the house was closed tightly, and there was no one in front of the gate, neither Dong Cheng nor Zhu Xiuyuan could see anything interesting.

"Butler, what is this?" Zhu Xiuyuan turned to look at the palace butler with a confused look on his face. "Master Zhu, please don't be impatient and wait a moment longer." The palace steward smiled and slumped on the chair, as if he had a plan in mind.

Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng looked at each other, feeling reassured.

"Quickly..."

"You go over there, you go..."

"Ouch……"

"mother……"

"Who are you..."

Suddenly, there was a burst of crying for father and mother from the street below.

There are also commands and commands for the marchers, etc., mixed together.

Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng quickly took a closer look and saw a group of soldiers, wearing silver helmets and silver armor, running quickly from the corner of the street.

The soldiers were brightly armored, holding iron spears in their hands and long knives hanging from their waists. They were actually fully armed.

They yelled commands and trotted in at a neat pace, like a torrent of steel, and the people along the way avoided them.

"This is……"

Dong Cheng looked shocked and swallowed.

These are definitely not the state soldiers of the yamen. The equipment of the state soldiers is not that good.

Dong Cheng's many years of life experience in Jiangzhou told him that the soldiers on the streets below were private soldiers of the Poyang Palace, or family generals.

"Butler, this...is this a general from the palace?!" Dong Cheng's face was still shocked.

"A general from the royal palace?"

Zhu Xiuyuan was also surprised. He glanced out the window and saw that the generals holding spears had already arrived, numbering a hundred.

Then, there were more than 100 archers and more than 100 sword and shield soldiers.

More than 300 people came!

How many state soldiers are there in Jiangzhou?

Five hundred, right?

There are more than 300 generals in the Poyang Palace!
And this is because King Poyang went on an expedition and took away a group of generals, otherwise there would be more.

Zhu Xiuyuan opened his mouth wide——

Poyang Palace is so domineering!

Zhu Xiuyuan's eyes shone with envy.

"I wonder why the housekeeper sent his family here? Could it be related to the food for disaster relief?" Dong Cheng had already calmed down and hurriedly raised his hands to ask.

Zhu Xiuyuan wiped his face and thought: "Yes, the reason why the generals are here is the most important."

The butler stood up from his chair and stretched: "Dong Canjun, Mr. Zhu, the show is about to begin. Let's go over."

good show?

Dong Cheng and Zhu Xiuyuan looked puzzled.

Following the footsteps of the palace steward, he went downstairs and walked to the gate of the house, receiving the "attention gift" from the generals on both sides of the road.

"Reporting to the housekeeper, my subordinates have surrounded this house!"

A leader among the generals stepped forward and reported with fists in his hands.
