Chapter 1422 Trapped in the name

Seeing the four gentry leaving, Yang Shen frowned and thought for a moment, then seemed to have made up his mind. He stood up and went straight towards Xu Jinxing. Zhang Jiayin and Zhao Zhenji, who were at the same table, looked at each other in confusion, and also stood up subconsciously.

"stop!"

Before Yang Shen could approach the table where Xu Jin was, the guards were stopped by the stern shouts. When Zhang and Zhao saw that the guards were all fierce and fierce, their eyes were as sharp as swords. They couldn't help but tremble in fear and shouted hurriedly: "Brother Xiu, come back soon."

Yang Shen stopped, but did not turn around, but bowed and said aloud: "Xindu Yang Shen, pay homage to Prince Beijing!"

As soon as this said, Zhang and Zhao were both shocked and stood there immediately. Zhao Datou, Song Dayan and others were also slightly surprised. The general did not want to alarm the governments along the way during this trip, so everyone changed into casual clothes. The guards did not even bring flintlock rifles. Unexpectedly, they were recognized as soon as they arrived in Hanzhong Prefecture City.

Xu Jin slowly turned his head, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He was not familiar with Yang Shen, and he had only met several times back then. In addition, after many years, Yang Shen's appearance changed a lot. It was probably because his exile was not satisfactory and looked older than his actual age, so Xu Jin did not recognize him as soon as possible. At this time, Yang Shen came forward to report his name, and Xu Jin recognized him.

"So it's Yang Zhuangyuan, there's no need to be polite, let's talk!" Xu Jin said calmly.

After hearing this, the guards made way. Yang Shenju walked to Xu Jin and said in a humble and arrogant manner: "After leaving for many years, Prince Beijing's style is more elegant than the past, and it is a joyful congratulation."

Xu Jin smiled lightly and said, "So too, Yang Zhuangyuan."

Yang Shen smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "I am now just a guilty minister. Even a scholar is not even a scholar. Where did he get his style? It makes the prince laugh. If it weren't for the prince's righteousness, I would have died at the hands of Lu Bing."

Xu Jin calmly changed the topic and said, "Lu Bing has been executed, so there is no need to mention the past. I wonder if Mr. Yang will be happy in the near future?"

"My father was seriously ill some time ago and went home to serve after taking leave. Fortunately, my father has recovered recently and is still healthy at present." Yang Shen replied.

Xu Jin couldn't help but suddenly realize that he remembered that Yang Shen was demoted to Yongchang Guard in Yunnan. Without the permission of the court, he would never leave the local area. It turned out that he had sued a leave of absence, but this guy was obviously not honest. His father recovered from his illness and did not return to Yongchang Guard as soon as possible. He actually ran to Hanzhong leisurely. If this matter was reported by everyone with intention, he would probably be more guilty.

Of course, Xu Jin would not be so bored that he made a report to Jiajing. After all, the law does not hinder human favors. Moreover, although Yang Tinghe retired, he still has to give face. So he nodded and said, "That's good. If it weren't for something, I would definitely go to Xindu to visit him in person. You can take me some advice for me when I look back!"

Of course, Yang Shen understood that Xu Jin was just a scene. You should know that the most direct reason why his father was forced to retire and return to his hometown was that Xu Jin wanted to lift the sea ban. I remember that when his father left Wenhua Hall, he warned Xu Jin in person. The conflict between the two was quite small, so how could Xu Jin come to the door to make things boring? So he answered quietly: "Thank you, Prince Beijing for your concern for your father, Yang Shen will definitely bring your greetings."

Xu Jin smiled indifferently, looked at Zhang and Zhao, and asked casually: "Are these two gentlemen Yang Zhuangyuan's friends?"

Zhang Jiayin and Zhao Zhenji were both excited and hurriedly stepped forward to bow and introduced themselves. Xu Jin exchanged a few polite greetings. Zhang Zhao and Zhao felt flattered. Unexpectedly, Xu Beitou, who was famous outside, was so kind. Not only was he handsome and young, but his temperament was also gentle and elegant. His conversation made people feel like spring breeze.

At this time, Yang Shen bowed and said, "Now that Prince Beijing has a female relative next to him, so it is not convenient. Turn around, Yang Shen set up another banquet for the prince. As long as the landlord is suitable, I hope the prince will appreciate his face. Now I won't bother you and say goodbye!" After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the stairs without caring about whether Xu Jin agreed or not.

Zhang and Zhao quickly gave a deep bow and followed Yang Shen downstairs.

Wang Cuiqiao frowned and said softly: "I have heard of Yang Shen's reputation for a long time, but it's a pity that this person is not very polite."

Xu Jin smiled and said, "It's not that Yang Shen is ungrateful and arrogant. This is a common problem for those with talented abdomen."

Qiu Yan, the maid next to him, couldn't help but interrupt, "No matter how talented Yang Shen is, can you be better than you? The prince is not arrogant at all. He is always humble and polite in dealing with people. He usually talks and laughs at our servants like us, and does not show off any airs. My lady said that the prince is a unique and unique man in the world."

Wang Cuiqiao's pretty face turned hot and she gave Qiu Yan a shy look, and the latter stuck out her tongue embarrassedly.

Xu Jin smiled and said, "Your lady is right. I am indeed unique in this world. Otherwise, how could I win the hearts of everyone."

Qiu Yan couldn't help but giggle, Wang Cuiqiao's heart was sweet and said angrily: "It's a good thing Qiu Yan just said that you are humble and polite, not at all."

Xu Jin laughed and said, "I just told the truth. I am not humble anymore. Let's have a meal. The food will be cold later." After that, I picked up a piece of tofu into Wang Cuiqiao's bowl.

Let’s talk about Yang Shen and the other two walking out of Wangjiang Tower. Zhao Zhenji and Zhang Jiayin obviously had not recovered from their excitement, and they discussed excitedly while walking.

"I didn't expect that the legendary King of Beijing Xu Jin actually appeared in our Hanzhong Mansion. Tsk, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would be really unbelievable." Zhao Zhenji stroked his palm.

Zhang Jiayin also said excitedly: "Prince Beijing is famous, but I didn't expect to be so young. I'm afraid I'm not a few years older than me. As a prince, I don't have any airs..."

Yang Shen coughed lightly and interrupted Zhang Jiayin. Only then did Zhang and Zhao realize that Yang Shen's expression was not very good-looking.

"Brother Xiu, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Jiayin asked embarrassedly.

Yang Shen said calmly: "Xu Jin's appearance in Hanzhong is not a good thing!"

Zhang and Zhao looked at each other and said in unison: "How do you say this?"

"Is there something big going on in Hanzhong?" Zhang Jiayin added.

Yang Shen shook his head: "Didn't you hear Xu Jin's Shiwei tell the waiter that he wants to buy a boat to go east?"

Zhang Jiayin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "In other words, King Beijing will leave Hanzhong soon. Fortunately, I thought something big would happen in Hanzhong. Legend has it that wherever King Beijing goes, there will be bloody storms."

Zhao Zhenji was a little older after all. He glanced at Yang Shen with an ugly face and asked in a low voice: "Brother Xiu, what's wrong?"

Yang Shen said coldly: "Think about it, you don't have to pass Hanzhong when you return to Beijing from the Western Regions. Xu Jin appeared here, with only twenty personal guards accompanying him, and even carrying female relatives. He also had to buy a boat to go east. It was clearly like he was traveling around the mountains and rivers."

Zhao Zhenji's heart moved and blurted out: "Brother Xiu, do you mean Xu Jin deliberately dragged him back to Beijing?"

Yang Shen sneered and nodded, "I knew that Xu Jin was not among us. Although this boy had the talent of Jingwei, he had no integrity and was the best at avoiding bad luck. How could he return to Beijing at this time and hit the storm at that time? If what I expected was not bad, this boy must have found an excuse to claim a leave of absence from the emperor, deliberately delaying not to return to Beijing, and then go back after the limelight has passed."

Zhao Zhenji slapped his thigh and said, "It must be so. It is said that King Beijing is a native of Shangrao County, Jiangxi Province. I guess he planned to take a boat from Hanzhong into the Yangtze River, then go down to Jiujiang, and return to his hometown Shangrao County."

Zhang Jiayin couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that he is not aware of the people. This guy treats people humble and politely. Unexpectedly, he is a slippery person. As the saying goes, he is different and does not plan for each other. Why do such a person have to entertain him with brother Xiu?"

Yang Shenleng said: "If I had been in the past, I would have gone there, so I had time to pay attention to him. However, if Xu Jin refused to come forward, there would be no possibility of recovery, so now my plan can only be slandered."

Zhao Zhenji asked quickly: "What should I do if Brother Xiu is going to do?"

Yang Shen's eyes flashed and said indifferently: "Xu Jin deliberately delayed returning to the capital. Obviously, he did not want to offend the emperor, and wanted to preserve his reputation. As the saying goes, the people are not afraid of death, but why do they fear it by death? Since Xu Jin cherishes his feathers, we will trap him by his reputation. Go back and invite more respected literary celebrities to the banquet, and everyone will put Xu Jin on with words, forcing him to do it."
