Xiang Zhuang found a room in the backyard of the Poyang County Government Office and prepared to rest for a while. After that, he would take a boat to Zhu County to prepare to welcome Wu Fang.

The wedding is coming soon. It stands to reason that Xiang Zhuang should be too excited to fall asleep. At least, he should not be so calm at this time. But for some reason, Xiang Zhuang is sitting on the soft mat in the house, holding a cup of steaming tea in his hand.

But he had no intention of swallowing it.

After sitting for a while, Xiang Zhuang felt sleepy. He was really tired from running around in the past few days. He put down his tea cup, got up and went to the bed. When he was about to lie down, suddenly, the door hurriedly opened.

There was a sound: "Dong dong dong."

A guard shouted outside the house: "Your Majesty, there is someone outside the house asking to see you."

Xiang Zhuang was a little surprised. In Poyang, except for the people who came with him, Xiang Zhuang didn't have any old friends, but someone visited him when he was about to leave. This was somewhat strange. Xiang Zhuang thought about it for a while, and finally,

He still stood up and ordered: "Bring him in."

Xiang Zhuang grabbed the big cloak on the side and put it on his body. He walked back and forth for a few steps in the house. He felt no sleepiness at all. Then Xiang Zhuang walked to the window and opened it. The sun was shining in the house and it was as warm as spring. At this time, outside the house,

The sound of hurried footsteps was faintly heard, and soon, a personal guard reported: "Your Majesty, we have been brought."

"Come in." Xiang Zhuang's voice sounded slightly tired. The door was pushed open and a young man wearing a blue cloak walked into the house with his guards. As he approached, the young man knelt down on one knee and cupped his hands and said: "My lord, sir.

Xiu, I have met the king."

"Junzi Xiu?" Xiang Zhuang was slightly surprised. He looked at Junzi Xiu up and down. He had never seen this person before. He couldn't help but glare at the guards on the side, mostly reproachful in his eyes. The guards looked a little panicked and hurriedly walked up.

In front of him, he presented a jade tablet with both hands. Xiang Zhuang took it and looked at it. The jade tablet was given to the old warlock by himself, and the gentleman Xiu in front of him must have some kind of relationship with the old warlock.

"What is your relationship with Fan Yi (the old warlock)?" Xiang Zhuang did not shy away from it. After all, this kind of jade tablet is unique in the world. It is the only physical evidence he left to the old warlock Fan Yi. It is also the key to the old warlock asking to see him in the future.

Door token, now a gentleman repairs it

Holding this jade tablet, Xiang Zhuang was a little surprised, but Jun Zixiu replied calmly: "Your Majesty, I am Fan Yi's adopted son. I joined Yuqian County a year ago.

I also participated in the mysterious work and the smelting of kerosene."

Hearing Jun Zixiu mention kerosene, Xiang Zhuang stared at him quietly and said in surprise: "Do you know kerosene?"

"Yes, I not only know, I also know how to configure the gunpowder that the king wants. However, my adoptive father is still debugging at this time. He asked me to bring a message to the king. He will do his best to do the gunpowder matter, but...

..." At this point, Junzixiu paused.

Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Xiang Zhuang smiled brightly and said: "There are no outsiders here. If you have something to say, you might as well say it directly."

"It's just that my adoptive father hopes that I can follow the king and make achievements, instead of staying in the camp and doing hard labor all my life. Please accept me, the king." After Jun Zixiu finished speaking, he bowed his head and bowed. Xiang Zhuang looked at his burly physique and said,

His words were extraordinary, and besides, most people would be more or less nervous when they saw him, but from the beginning to the end, he did not make any mistakes, but nodded and said: "Get up."

Jun Zixiu stood up in thanks and stood aside. At this time, Xiang Zhuang stepped forward and pressed hard on Jun Zixiu's shoulders with his hands. He felt that Jun Zixiu was strong and strong. He was indeed a warrior. He asked with a smile: "Say

Tell me, what weapon are you best at?"

"I'm the best at using spears. As long as you give me a spear, I can fight bloody battles on the battlefield and never take a step back." The gentleman practiced the art of cupping his hands. Xiang Zhuang nodded with satisfaction: "Just using brute force is not enough. You must learn how to use it. It’s about arranging troops and strategizing. Besides, I think you are suitable for drawing a bow. You have strong arms and you should be a good archer."

"I am willing to listen to the cultivation of your Majesty." Jun Zixiu handed over his hand again. Xiang Zhuang saw that he was smart and looked at him with admiration. At this time, Xiang Zhuang looked at the sun outside and saw that it was almost noon. It was time to set off, so he patted him. Junzixiu said over his shoulder: "I will teach you slowly in the future, but for now, it's time for us to set off."

…

Leaving Yuganhe Port, Xiangzhuang's fleet headed for the Yangtze River Basin along Poyang Lake. Nearly a hundred large ships rode the wind and waves, traveling rapidly. On the ships, not only the purple battle flag of the Chu Kingdom was hoisted, but also some gardenia On the pole, above the cabin, red silk is hung high to reflect the joy of Chu's welcoming bride.

The mighty fleet was in the shape of a Zigzag, with every three ships in a row, moving forward. After marching day and night, the Chu army's ships finally arrived at the Shaxian River Port within the agreed time.

The Hengshan Army, which had been waiting at the river port, immediately beat gongs, drums, and musical instruments, and sang and danced on the shore. Soon, Chu's large ship gradually docked, and planks of the ship were put on the shore. There were already Xiangzhuang's personal guards and escorts. Xiangzhuang's Tiger and Ben troops landed one after another, and a group of Chu army guards in red robes took out half a tael of money that had been prepared and threw it into the air, and the people swarmed to grab it.

As soon as Xiang Zhuang landed, his personal guards came to fight horses. Xiang Zhuang led the generals to mount their horses and galloped towards Zhu County.

On an inconspicuous large ship, Ying Xueyue looked at Xiang Zhuang's horse and drove away with a bewildered expression. She walked sadly into the cabin, wondering when it would be her turn for such a festive wedding.

In front of Wu Mansion, Hengshan County and Jiujiang County had already lined up to maintain order. The entire street was blocked. In front of the door, red lanterns and red silk could be seen everywhere. Two bonfires were lit in front of the door. When the servant who was in charge of watching saw the Chu army galloping in the distance, he shouted happily: "My uncle is here, my uncle is here, let's set off the firecrackers."

Several servants hurriedly threw the bamboos that had been prepared into the fire. The bamboos crackled and exploded in the fire. At this time, Xiangzhuang's cavalry team had already rushed forward, and the ceremony officer in charge of the wedding had already greeted them. He came up and shouted in front of the door: "My uncle is here to visit, please..."

After a brief ceremony with Wu Rui, a red carriage, a group of Hengshan guards, and several maidservants escorted the carriage out of the Wu Mansion. Xiang Zhuang ordered his guards to scatter more copper coins, and then led an army to escort him. The carriage headed for the river port.

Watching Xiang Zhuang leave, Wu Rui felt a little disappointed. His daughter got married, but just after her daughter left, his place suddenly became empty. But the loss was only for a moment. Wu Rui recovered from the loss. Looking at the guests in the hall, he laughed and said: "I have hosted a banquet in the mansion, everyone, please come in."

Xiang Zhuang's team arrived at the river port. Xiang Zhuang dismounted and came to the carriage in person. A maid opened the curtain, Wu Fang put her head on her head and walked out of the carriage. Xiang Zhuang smiled and said: "Miss Fang, we should get on the boat. Already."

Wu Fang just wanted to tease Xiang Zhuang because he had a hijab on his head and couldn't get on the boat. However, Xiang Zhuang's hands were already raw, he picked up Wu Fang and laughed and said: "Hold my wife and get on the sedan chair..."

The river port echoed with the laughter of the sergeants.

…

Three days later, Xiangzhuang's wedding fleet returned to Jiangchenghe Port. The main force of the Chu army, which had been waiting for a long time, led by Ding Gu, escorted the wedding team back to the Chu palace.

At the same time, another team was marching towards Wu County. The leader was wearing a dark red military robe and a turban. He was Kong Ji, the chief adviser under Xiang Zhuang.

Today is not only the day when King Chu marries Princess Chu, but also the day when Kong Xiuyun comes to visit, but Xiang Zhuang must accompany Wu Fang in his car. Therefore, according to the custom of Chu people, Kong Ji is Kong Xiuyun's brother, and he will send Kong Xiuyun in.

Palace is the most appropriate.

There was singing and dancing along the way, and the people stepped aside and looked enviously at the big red carriage not far ahead.

Soon, Kong Ji's team arrived in front of Kong's mansion. Kong Yu, who had been waiting for a long time, stepped forward and said loudly: "Today is the day for my daughter to get married. A banquet has been prepared in Kong's mansion. Guests, please don't leave for a while. You must come here."

Have a few drinks.”

"Congratulations to Mr. Kong."

"Congratulations to the Kong family."

Many people held up their hands to celebrate. At this time, the matchmaker was carrying Kong Xiuyun, who had already covered her head. Beside her was Xiaolian, who was doing the dowry. Although Xiaolian was a little disappointed, after all, she loved Xiang Zhuang deeply, but in the end, she had no chance to marry him.

, I can only place my deep thoughts on the young lady and accompany her every day and night in the Chu Palace.

The married daughter's mood was bitter. Kong Kun stepped forward, looked at his daughter who was about to get into the car, and warned: "The Palace of Chu is no better than at home. There are intrigues, overt and covert fights, and competition for favor is inevitable. Once you enter the palace, as a father, no matter what,

I can't take care of you anymore. Although your brother holds an official position, he can't participate in the harem fight. You... just take care of yourself."

Kong Xiuyun had tears in her eyes. She held back her tears, covered her head with a hijab, nodded slightly, and choked with sobs: "Father, don't worry."

"Let's go!" Kong Ji shouted from the side, and the matchmaker carried Kong Xiuyun to the carriage. Kong Xiuyun approached the carriage and paused. She still could not hold back the reluctance to say goodbye. She looked back at her father in the distance with tears in her eyes.

He couldn't help but say: "Father, take care, my daughter is gone."

Accompanied by the sound of drum music, Kong Xiuyun's carriage drove slowly towards the Chu Palace.

…

The vast palace of the King of Chu was equipped with extravagance and extravagance. Teams of personal guards lined up on both sides with long swords in hand. Teams of civil and military ministers stood beside them. On the broad galloping road, the King of Chu rode his horse.

They brought two red carriages to the front of the Chu Palace.

There are high jade steps and a wide straight road. It is no longer possible to walk with carriages here. Xiang Zhuang came to the jade steps and raised his right hand. The team stopped moving. At this time, Xiang Zhuang got off his horse and came to the carriage. Everyone

There was a maidservant beside the carriage. The maid opened the curtain, took out the bride from the carriage, and stepped down. At this time, Xiangzhuang took the hands of the two women and strode slowly up the jade steps.

go.

In the distance, the rumble of drums began to beat, the low horns whimpered, and military music also played. This was a different wedding, a wedding that symbolized the nobility and majesty of the imperial family. Everyone present was calm, and slowly

Looking at King Chu and Princess Chu, the concubine of King Chu slowly walked up the jade steps towards the main hall.
