Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 487 487. Gathering
Even so, Zhu Xiuyuan was still a little worried and looked on anxiously.

"Yan Dashan, help me catch these two thieves, and there will be a lot of rewards in return!" Dong Shuzhen yelled.

"Yes, Mother!"

"what!"

At this time, the cow just went crazy.

He looked like a mad bull, charging wildly and possessing natural brute strength that no one could challenge. This was why Yan Dashan was unable to defeat them for a long time.

In addition, Zhu Li is also a master, and when paired with Niu Gang, he has strong fighting power.

However, when Yan Dashan faced the two of them alone, he was still able to tie with them. Now Dong Shuzhen and Xia Wu are added to the mix. Although they are women, after being trained by the old beggar, their skills are not weaker than Yan Dashan's. …

Three against two, so immediately, Niu Gang and Zhu Li were in danger, and they were about to lose!

boom!
Suddenly, Yan Dashan slapped his hand. Zhu Li suddenly became unsteady and took a few steps back. Before he could react, the warriors who had been waiting for a long time swarmed him and held him down like a stack of Arhats.

Solved one.

After a while, Dong Shuzhen suddenly jumped up and kicked Niu Gang on the back of the head.

Immediately afterwards, Yan Dashan attacked from the side and kicked him in the chest and abdomen.

Xia Wu was even more ruthless. She used a thin sword and made a cut directly on Niu Gang's calf...

Under the triple attack, even though Niu Gang was a strong man, he couldn't withstand it and couldn't react for a while.

Immediately afterwards, some warriors came forward with iron chains, and in the blink of an eye, they tied him into an "iron rice dumpling", making him unable to move or lie down.

"Let me go. You bully the minority with more people. If I don't accept it, let me go and fight again..."

Niu Gang's whole body was trapped by the iron chain. Even if he was born with brute strength, he was unable to do anything with the iron chain attached to his body. He could only shout and scream.

As for Zhu Li, he was also tied up with iron chains, but he did not speak, only lowered his head, looking very embarrassed.

"You are a thief, you came to my house in the middle of the night to steal things, and you still have the nerve to bully the minority..."

Dong Shuzhen was dissatisfied and rushed over, beating and kicking Niu Gang who was lying on the ground. She also called Xia Wu over and they beat him together.

Niu Gang was howling to himself, but he couldn't move and was punched and kicked by the two women. He was really depressed.

As for Zhu Li, after hearing the word "thief" in Dong Shuzhen's words, he smiled bitterly and shook his head. His head was bowed deeply and he did not dare to raise his head, as if he was afraid of being discovered by others.

To be honest, Zhu Li regretted, not only for indulging his third brother in his mischief, but also for not covering his face with a piece of cloth...

"Madam, come back quickly, we have already caught them, don't worry about them anymore, come here quickly!"

Zhu Xiuyuan looked at his wife and maid Xia Wu, jumping there, punching and kicking the fallen thief, very energetically. He was speechless and felt pain all over his body.

This is the violent side of his little lady!

Not only did Zhu Xiuyuan feel pain all over his body, but Nayan Dashan also remembered those miserable years when his nose was bruised and his face was swollen...

As for the rest of the warriors, they felt a chill... Could the mistress of the house be so capable of fighting?
His strikes and kicks are so heavy, and he hits them specifically in the face of others...

It's just a tigress!

"Husband, please allow me to beat you for a while longer. Haha, it's so fun... You, a thief, dare to come to the house to steal. You are really tired of living. Let's see if I don't beat you to death! Beat you to death! Beat you to death! Xia Wu, Go hard and kick him in the head!"

Everyone's hearts trembled after hearing Dong Shuzhen's words.

He actually enjoys beating people...

"Okay, miss, look at me!"

When everyone saw Xia Wu, she took a few steps back, took a running start, rushed over quickly, and kicked Niu Gang's bearded head!
"Ow..."

Niu Gang let out bursts of screams.

Everyone's heart was even colder...not only the mistress is a tigress, but also the maids around the mistress are even more ruthless!

Fortunately, Zhu Xiuyuan and Yan Dashan have already seen each other.

However, those warriors who had just arrived in the mansion, those would-be generals, while feeling cold and dejected, also repositioned the mistress in their hearts...

By the way, there is also this maid named Xia Wu, who cannot be underestimated. They have listed her as someone not to be messed with.

Although Zhu Li was not beaten, he grinned when he saw his third brother being punched and kicked by two women. In the end, he simply closed his eyes...

"Good son-in-law..." Suddenly, father-in-law Dong Cheng and Dong Shuyu, father and daughter, came over. "What's the situation? Has the thief been caught? Is anyone injured?"

"Father-in-law!" Zhu Xiuyuan's face changed slightly, he waved to Yan Dashan secretly, then turned around and cupped his hands at Dong Cheng, "The thief has been caught, and no one was injured, please rest assured, Father-in-law!"

Dong Cheng ran closer and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Zhu Xiuyuan and everyone else were safe.

Dong Shuyu, who followed him, looked Zhu Xiuyuan up and down with his wonderful eyes open, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was okay.

Nayan Dashan saw his benefactor's gesture and immediately understood what his benefactor meant, so he immediately led people to surround him and block his benefactor behind him who was "jumping up and beating him up".

Don't let Dong Cheng see it.

however--

"See if I don't beat you to death, I will beat you to death, I will beat you to death..."

Suddenly, Dong Shuzhen's cry came over, and there was a faint excitement in her voice.

Zhu Xiuyuan grinned secretly, thinking that he was about to suffer.

Sure enough, Dong Cheng's expression suddenly changed.

He pulled Yan Dashan and others away from him and looked around. When he saw clearly, his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

"Zhen'er, what are you doing? Come here quickly!" Dong Cheng yelled, his anger almost unbearable.

Dong Shuzhen, who was happily beating people up, suddenly stopped when she heard these words.

She shrunk her neck and turned around slowly, her face frightened, and her two big eyes widened.

That was frightened.

When she saw her father Dong Cheng, she immediately smiled with her face. She entered the mode of a lady for a second, trotted over with small steps, and saluted Dong Cheng.

The same goes for the maid Xia Wu. She didn't dare to raise her head as she followed her young lady.

Seeing that Dong Cheng was about to explode, Zhu Xiuyuan had a quick idea and hurriedly grabbed Dong Shuzhen and pulled her behind him.

Then he told Yan Dashan: "It's getting late today, so we won't deal with these two thieves. Dashan, lock them up. I'll interrogate them myself when I'm free tomorrow!"

Zhu Xiuyuan was an earl, and the power granted to such an honorable officer by the State of Chen was extremely great. In this case, even if Zhu Xiuyuan killed the two thieves, nothing would happen. If the government knew about it, they would just come to understand the situation.

A truly privileged class!
This is also the reason why Zhu Xiuyuan is more "floating" than before.

For example, when he thought about marrying Dong Shuyu, he thought it was a sin before.

But now, he just wanted to marry her, blatantly, and regarded it as a forbidden love.

Why, isn't it just because of the change in identity?

He, the earl, really has privileges!
"Yes, benefactor!"

Yan Dashan accepted the order and immediately arranged to imprison the two thieves.

Zhu Xiuyuan protected Dong Shuzhen behind him, raised his hands and said to Dong Cheng: "Father-in-law, this matter is over. Besides, it is already late at night. Everyone should go back to the room to rest first. We will deal with this matter tomorrow."

"Well, that's fine!"

Dong Cheng glared at Dong Shuzhen, who had half of his head sticking out, and walked back to the room.

Dong Shuyu and Zhu Xiuyuan looked at each other and followed them back.

Finally, Zhu Xiuyuan took Dong Shuzhen and walked to the main house.

While walking, Zhu Xiuyuan lectured: "Madam, you are so careless this time. The thief has already been tied up, why are you going to beat him?" "And my father-in-law, he is here, so you can't go ahead of time Do you want to stop? This time, if it wasn't for your husband seeing the opportunity quickly, my wife, you must be taught by your father-in-law!"

Zhu Xiuyuan muttered, took Dong Shuzhen's little hand, and went straight back to the main house.

He seemed to be preaching to Dong Shuzhen about being addicted, and actually pulled her directly into his room...

Dong Shuzhen was saying "oh" and "hmm" all the way.

When she was pulled into Zhu Xiuyuan's room, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she took the initiative to close the door and bolt it.

"Uh... Madam, it's late at night, let's continue to rest." Zhu Xiuyuan grinned. Really, why did he drag Madam in?
"Okay husband, I will wait for you to change your clothes!"

Dong Shuzhen looked attentive and started to help him change his clothes without any explanation.

Seeing her happy little face, Zhu Xiuyuan immediately couldn't bear to drive her away.

"Hey, forget it, it's only for one night, just bear with it and it'll be over." Zhu Xiuyuan thought in his heart, and then acted as if he didn't notice that he "pulled the lady back to the room by mistake" and let Dong Shuzhen show his attentiveness.

puff!
Zhu Xiuyuan blew out the candles, and Dong Shuzhen, who was lying on the back of the couch first, shouted: "Husband, come quickly!"

Zhu Xiuyuan took a deep breath, walked slowly over, and lay down as if on a battlefield.

After he pulled the quilt over him, a mermaid "swam" over and quickly wrapped him tightly.

"Husband, you smell so good!"

Suddenly, Dong Shuzhen tucked his head between his necks, and came out such a sentence, muffled and joyful.

"It's late at night. Go to sleep. Tomorrow, my husband will go to pick up your senior sister and the others..."

Zhu Xiuyuan lay on his back, not daring to move. Needless to say, he would not have a good night's sleep in the rest of the night.

But he couldn't touch Dong Shuzhen, she was too young... This made people uncomfortable. This was also the reason why he didn't sleep with Dong Shuzhen.

……

Day two.

Zhu Xiuyuan got up early in the morning, yawning, and Qiuwen helped him change clothes, wash up, and take care of his hair.

Because he was going to greet the Liang envoy today, Zhu Xiuyuan had to wear court clothes.

Zhu Xiuyuan has worn the court uniform many times, so Qiu Wen is familiar with it and is no longer afraid...

Since Zhu Xiuyuan had breakfast, officials from the Ministry of Rites, who reported the Liang envoy's itinerary, frequently went in and out of Jiangcheng's residence.

According to the predictions of officials from the Ministry of Rites, the time when the large ship carrying the Liang envoy arrived at the dock in the capital was at the end of Si hour and the beginning of noon, that is, around [-] o'clock in the morning.

Zhu Xiuyuan was eating breakfast while listening to the reports from the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and at the same time, he did not stop giving new instructions.

Although he is responsible for receiving envoys from the Liang Kingdom, the following trivial matters still need to be handled through the Ministry of Rites.

Although Huang Song, the Minister of Rites, hated Zhu Xiuyuan, he did not dare to make trouble when it came to receiving the Liang envoy.

Because, Liang Guo's envoy is a terrifying existence to Chen Guo's court officials, who would dare to provoke him?
He clearly knows that if he dares to interfere with this matter, once it is found out, he will not be able to live with it!
Are there too many court officials who suffered bad luck because of Liang’s envoys?

As a result, the Ministry of Rites was very cooperative.

At about nine o'clock in the morning, Zhu Xiuyuan left the house and led the reception officials from the Ministry of Rites to the Yangtze River dock outside the city to wait for the arrival of the large ship of the Liang State envoy.

As time passes by, noon is approaching.

Suddenly, a small boat arrived at the dock first. An official from the Ministry of Rites got off the boat, holding a black gauze hat, and trotted over. He cupped his hands to Zhu Xiuyuan and said, "Uncle, it will take only an hour and a half before the Liang envoy's ship will arrive."

"Ah."

Zhu Xiuyuan nodded, then reorganized the welcoming team and checked the ceremonial guard, motorcade, roads, etc. again.

No problem was found, Zhu Xiuyuan returned to the dock and waited for the arrival of the Liang State envoy.

Finally, a large ship appeared on the broad Yangtze River. It was the vehicle of the Liang State envoy.

Because today we are welcoming the Liang State envoys, no unrelated ships are allowed on the river, so they are easy to identify.

After a while, the big ship approached, and Zhu Xiuyuan could see people standing on the deck. He only saw Li Jiye, King Qian of Liang State, and Li Qingnu, Princess Anle of Liang State, leaning on the railing and looking at it.

Surrounding them were soldiers from the Liang Kingdom.

The big ship docked, and Zhu Xiuyuan took a few steps forward. Soon, a large group of people disembarked from the ship, and the leader was none other than Li Jiye, the Qianwang of the Liang Kingdom.

"Prince Jiang Cheng, the official, led the officials of the Ministry of Rites to greet King Qian and Princess Anle of Liang Kingdom!" Zhu Xiuyuan said with cupped hands.

"Brother Zhu, don't be too polite!"

Li Jiye took a step forward, supported him directly, and then said with a smile: "We haven't seen you for several months, Brother Zhu is no longer what he used to be. Haha, I heard about Brother Zhu in Liang Guo, and I am also happy for Brother Zhu. !”

Li Jiye is tall and thin, but he looks very energetic. He is richly dressed and elegant. Although he is lean, he also looks plump and handsome.

"Haha..." Zhu Xiuyuan laughed and threw aside the reception etiquette, "Indeed, too many things have happened in the past few months. In fact, two months ago, in that Jiangzhou city, I I almost thought I would never see Brother Li again!"

After all, the two held hands and laughed, as if old friends who hadn't seen each other for several years were reunited. This kind of scene was not at all like receiving envoys from other countries.

Whether it was the soldiers from Liang Guo or the receptionists from Chen Guo, they were all stunned...

"Senior brother, are you okay, junior sister? Is Shuyu okay?"

At this time, Princess Anle Li Qingnu came out from behind her brother and saluted Zhu Xiuyuan.

Zhu Xiuyuan let go of Li Jiye's hand, returned the courtesy to Li Qingnu, and said with a smile: "Princess Lao is worried. Madam is fine, and Shuyu is fine too. Madam and the others have been looking forward to it for a long time when they learned that the princess is coming."

Princess Anle, Li Qingnu, is tall and tall, a head taller than ordinary Chen women.

Her face is like a full moon, her skin is as bright as snow, her temperament is elegant, approachable, and she has weak bones and strong muscles... but she is definitely not fat. In today's terms, she has a "slightly fat" beauty.

In addition, there is always a warm smile on her face, and her whole person looks like a spring breeze.

It also gives people a pleasant and approachable feeling, but compared with Dong Shuyu, the two are different.

Dong Shuyu is a kind of delicate and graceful beauty, and she has the characteristics of a Jiangnan woman.

Li Qingnu, on the other hand, is as warm as a big sister. The heart-warming smile on her face gives people a feeling of satisfaction, enrichment, carefulness and consideration.

Each has its own merits.

As for Dong Shuzhen, she is a cute and lively type, full of energy.

As for Goblin Kou...it's hard to say, but she is willing to be humble and flattering, like a concubine.In addition to the various halos on her body, she is still the princess of Huai country, such as "the number one song and dance girl in the world". In addition, she seems to be some kind of "young palace master"...

Taken together, it is attractive enough [Author's note: Not surprisingly, there are only these four heroines].

……

On the pier, with everyone's stunned eyes, Zhu Xiuyuan chatted a few more words with Li Jiye and Li Qingnu, and then he smiled and said: "Brother Li, princess, your majesty has set up a banquet in the palace to welcome the two of you. . On the way into the palace, the road has been paved with loess and the streets have been splashed with clean water..."

The loess pavement was used to fill in the potholes on the road to prevent the carriage from bumping.

The purpose of splashing clean water on the street is to avoid dust and prevent distinguished guests from being disgraced.

These tasks are necessary to welcome distinguished guests. Of course, Zhu Xiu only needs to instruct others to do it.

As a result, Li Jiye and Li Qingnu got on the chariot respectively. Zhu Xiuyuan rode in front, followed by hundreds of Liang soldiers and hundreds of officials from the Ministry of Rites. A large group of people passed through the city in a mighty manner. Head to the imperial city.

In the Forbidden City, Fengtian Hall has prepared a state banquet.

Just wait for the arrival of the Liang envoy.

Emperor Chen, Concubine You, Crown Prince, King Jinling, and King Jiangyin.

There are also big shots in the court, such as Prime Minister Li Zhong, Yushitai doctor Yang Tingyu, King Zhongshan, King Jiangdu, etc., who are already waiting in the palace.
