Chapter 1431 Pharaoh, hold on
"Have the master guessed that Mr. Yu's true identity is Xu Jin, King of Beijing? He didn't remind his disciple in advance!" The little Taoist Qingfeng complained in a low voice as he walked.
Lan Daoxing shook his head and said, "I was just suspicious before, but it was not until the woman appeared that she was 70% or 80% sure. Later, she tried it and found that her surname was Xu. Only then did her master dare to confirm that the other party was King Beijing Xu Jin."
Qingfeng Qi said: "Hey, Master, have you ever seen that fairy-like woman?"
"Although I have never seen it, I have also heard of it. Wang Cuiqiao, the winner of Jiangnan Catholica for three consecutive years, is not only a stunning person in the world, but also a natural and good voice and proficient in music. He is a peerless and brilliant woman." Lan Daoxing sighed: "Once I see you today, I realize that it is indeed worthy of my reputation."
When the little Taoist Qingfeng heard this, he nodded in deep agreement. When he saw Wang Cuiqiao walking down the stairs, he thought he was a fairy descending to earth. When Wang Cuiqiao spoke when he spoke, his heavenly voice almost left his soul out of his body.
"Then the master has figured out the details of this Beijing King this time?" the little Taoist priest asked a little excitedly.
Lan Daoxing's face became solemn. He first glanced left and right, and then whispered: "I just observed my master's close-up view just now. It can basically be confirmed that the prince's fortune telling has been tampered with, but his master's cultivation is limited, so he can only look at flowers in the fog and see the leopard in the tube."
Qingfeng stuck out his tongue and said, "You can't even see clearly, Master, let alone the disciple, but why didn't the master take the opportunity to ask him for a calculation of his birth date?"
Lan Daoxing shook his head with a serious expression and said, "No, if this person is really helpful to him, if we spy on him without permission, we will offend him. What's more, this Beijing King is not easy to mess with. He is always wary of us and ask him for his birth date and horoscope, but he is afraid that he will be suspicious, and maybe there will be a disaster for his own life."
Qingfeng's expression changed slightly, and he stuck out his tongue and said, "The aura of this Beijing King is indeed very terrifying. He usually looks at a gentle and elegant person, but just sank his face, and his disciple can't help but shivering. It's so strange."
Lan Daoxing gave a thunderous priest a thunderous priest and taught a lesson: "Although this man is young, he has led troops to fight in the east and west for many years, destroying the Japanese and pacifying the enemy, and conquering a large area of territory for the Ming Dynasty. He has never been defeated. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has experienced many battles. He is a star who has never met in a thousand years. He is probably hundreds of thousands of souls under his command. You can imagine the weight of evil spirits. Not to mention a little Taoist like you, even a teacher, can't resist it."
Qingfeng stuck out his tongue again and said, "Who is so powerful that it has changed a person's fate. It is obvious that his parents are both dead and poor and poor. Not only did he win five yuan in Tanhua and his younger brother, but he also rose up with auspicious stars shining brightly. Everything was accomplished and he was invincible. Finally, he was even ranked as the King of the Ming Dynasty's strange surname."
Lan Daoxing said meaningfully: "I'm afraid there's more than that."
Qingfeng's expression changed drastically and he blurted out: "That man doesn't want to create a emperor..."
Before Qingfeng could finish his words, the master covered his mouth tightly. Only then did he realize that some words could not be said randomly, and his face turned pale.
Lan Daoxing glared at Qingfeng with a warning look, then let go of his hand and whispered: "You kid don't want to cause a murder, just take care of your mouth. If there is such a master behind that man, I can only retreat from your master. But if it is true as you said, I am afraid that the world will be in chaos again just now, and it is the common people who suffer."
Qingfeng's face became more and more serious, and he whispered in a low voice: "Master, what should we do?"
A trace of confusion flashed in Lan Daoxing's eyes, and he shook his head and said, "My teacher's cultivation is limited, and I can't see clearly at the moment. After finishing my work, I will go to Xujia Village, Shangrao County. I will look at this person's ancestral tomb. I may see it a little clear at that time."
Qingfeng nodded, feeling nervous and a little excited. If there is really a person in this world who can change his fate against the will of heaven, he will definitely be a god-like existence. If he can worship him as his teacher...Oh!
"Why are the master beating his disciple again?" Qingfeng touched the painful head in dissatisfaction.
Lan Daoxing glared at him and said, "Don't think that your master doesn't know what your kid is thinking. Don't be foolish. Your master has already cut off your fortune. It means serving your master for the rest of your life. Hurry up and go to the city to hire a carriage. Your master will wait for you at a tea stall outside the city gate."
Qingfeng widened his eyes and said, "Master, it's almost noon. If we don't go to the city to rest for a night, we have to have lunch before rushing, right?"
"It's too late. I've been delayed for a day when I take the big boat. If I'll be delayed, I'll miss it. You can buy some dry food to eat in the car. Go quickly!" Lan Daoxing kicked Qingfeng's butt regardless of it.
The little Taoist priest Qingfeng could only enter Jiangzhou City reluctantly. In about half an hour, he hired a two-carriage carriage. The master and the other chasing got on the carriage and continued to rush towards Nanchang.
Let’s talk about Lan Daoxing and others leaving, Xu Jin and Wang Cuiqiao also got off the boat and entered Jiangzhou City to rest for one night. The next day, they bought horses and a carriage and headed for Nanchang, while the big boat was temporarily left at Jiangzhou Wharf.
Since it was against the current from Jiangzhou to Nanchang, it was against the current from Nanchang to Shangrao, and it was inconvenient to take a boat on the building. Therefore, Xu Jin decided to simply go back to Xujia Village by land, and then return to Jiangzhou on the same route, take a boat along the Yangtze River, and then turn to the Grand Canal of Beijing to return to Beijing. It is estimated that the Chinese New Year is coming, and the storm in Beijing has also been settled.
On the tenth day of October of the eighth year of Jiajing, Xu Jin and his party left Jiangzhou and went to night and night. Two days later, they arrived in Nanchang City on the afternoon of October 12th.
Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar ancient city in front of him, Xu Jin couldn't help feeling a lot. He remembered that when he had just traveled to the Ming Dynasty, his family was barely barred and his family was so poor that he almost froze to death. It was because of the gentle and sensible Xie Xiaowan that the two of them supported each other and survived that cold winter. In order to get rid of the predicament and let him live a good life with Xiaowan, he resolutely decided to sell a few acres of thin fields at home and study hard in the city to participate in the imperial examination for the next year.
However, just as he passed the hurdle and obtained the qualification of a child, he went to the Nanchang City in front of him to participate in the college entrance examination, he encountered the roadblock of Prince Ning, the prince, and almost threw his life here. It was the first time he met the unknown Wang Cuiqiao in the Tengwang Pavilion here.
"Time flies so fast, and the past is still vivid in my mind." Xu Jin couldn't help but sigh in his heart while walking on the streets of Nanchang City.
Wang Cuiqiao couldn't help but hold Xu Jin's arm in emotion. Not far away from the Gan River was the Tengwang Pavilion where she and Xu Jin first met. At that time, Xu Jin, who was young and mature but talented, left a very deep impression on him.
"The sketch that my husband painted for Qiaoer on Tengwang Pavilion was still treasured by Qiaoer." Wang Cuiqiao said softly, with sweet memories in his beautiful eyes.
Xu Jin smiled and said, "Now find an inn to rest first. Let's go out of the city and go to Tengwang Pavilion tomorrow."
Wang Cuiqiao nodded happily, held Xu Jin's arm and walked along the street, like a bird leaning on others.
"Zi...Brother Ziqian?" Suddenly, a familiar voice suddenly sounded.
Xu Jinxun looked at him and saw a man dressed in a scholar standing a few meters away, looking about in his early thirties. He was staring at him in a startled and suspicious manner, looking a little kind, but for a moment he couldn't remember who it was.
"Brother Ziqian, are you really you?" The scholar looked excited and came forward, but was stopped by two personal guards.
The scholar's expression changed slightly and he blurted out: "Brother Ziqian, don't you remember it in Xiajiangyun?"
Xu Jin then remembered that this was not Jiang Yun, a classmate from Guangxin Mansion who participated in the college entrance examination and the provincial examination. It seemed that he was the best in Guangxin Mansion's ranking at that time. Unfortunately, he failed the exam later. However, Huang Dacan, who ranked at the end of the crane in the provincial examination, passed the exam.
"It turns out that it's Brother Jiang. I haven't seen him for many years and I can't recognize him." Xu Jin made a gesture, and the two personal guards asked him to open his door.
Jiang Yun walked closer, looked at Wang Cuiqiao wearing Mili next to Xu Jin with a strange expression, and then said to himself: "Brother Ziqian can still recognize him, but he is already flattered."
When Xu Jin saw Jiang Yun's dress, he realized that this guy was still a juren. In other words, he had not passed the imperial examination yet. After careful calculation, there was an imperial examination in the second year of Jiajing, and once in the fifth year of Jiajing and once in the eighth year of Jiajing, which meant that Jiang Yun had participated in four imperial examinations and failed. No wonder he was a little depressed.
"Jiu Er, you settle down in the inn first. It is rare for your husband to meet classmates and friends from the past. You want to get together to talk to him." Xu Jin said.
Wang Cuiqiao nodded sensibly and left first under the protection of several personal guards.
Jiang Yun was both excited and a little moved. With Xu Jin's prominent position today, it is rare that he still attaches so much importance to himself, a down-and-out person.
"Brother Ziqian, this person should be Miss Cuiqiao just now, right?" Jiang Yun asked.
Xu Jin nodded, and Jiang Yun said enviously: "Brother Ziqian is really lucky. Let's go. The environment in the restaurant ahead is pretty good. If Brother Ziqian doesn't mind, I'll be here to invite Brother Ziqian to have a drink."
"So I wish, I dare not ask for it!" Xu Jin said with a smile.
Seeing that Xu Jin agreed readily, Jiang Yun couldn't help but feel more happy when he saw that Xu Jin had agreed without any airs. He happily led Xu Jin into the restaurant, opened a private room on the second floor, ordered a few dishes and started talking.
"Zi Qian is now a prince, and he can still have such a small relationship with me, which is really impressive." Jiang Yun sighed.
Xu Jin smiled and said, "Brother Jiang is so serious. By the way, where is Brother Jiang studying now?"
Jiang Yun smiled bitterly and said, "This year's exam is unknown again, so he had to continue to study hard in Yuzhang Academy and prepare for the exam for three years. If he still failed, he would go to the Ministry of Personnel to wait for the exam and would not take the exam."
Xu Jin comforted: "The result of sincerity, the metal and stone are open. Brother Jiang is not old, and he will eventually be the first to be named on the Golden List."
"Brother Chengziqian is a good word. By the way, I heard that the emperor has ordered you to return to Beijing in triumphantly, why did you suddenly appear in Hongdu? I just saw Brother Ziqian on the street, and I was a little afraid to recognize him." Jiang Yun said.
Xu Jin smiled: "I haven't returned to my hometown for a long time to see you. Come back and see you to pay homage to my ancestors."
A strangeness flashed in Jiang Yun's eyes. This was too far-fetched. However, he was tactful and did not ask, and turned to it: "Since that's the case, Brother Ziqian should not be in a hurry to rush, right?"
Xu Jin nodded, Jiang Yunxi said, "That's great. I'm going to set off tomorrow and rush to Nan'an Prefecture to visit the Prince of Xinjian."
Xu Jin's heart moved and blurted out: "Xinjian Bo (Wang Shouren) is now in Nan'an Prefecture?"
Jiang Yun nodded and said, "The prince and the emperor quelled the civil unrest in Ensitian Prefecture, Guangxi and other places two years ago, so he stayed in the local government. However, he heard that he had been seriously ill recently and had already resigned to the court. He led his servants to the east before the court approved it. Unfortunately, he was too ill and could no longer walk when he arrived in Dagen County, Nan'an Prefecture. He stopped to recuperate in the local area, but he was afraid that he would be unable to make up for the situation. Many people have visited these days."
Xu Jin hurriedly stood up and said, "Why didn't Brother Jiang say it earlier? It's not time to leave. Let's set off right away."
Jiang Yun was embarrassed: "It's hundreds of miles away from Nan'an Prefecture, and the sky is about to dusk again."
"Xin Jianbo is seriously ill and is afraid he won't be able to see him if he is late. We will ride a horse to travel at night and we will arrive tomorrow afternoon." Xu Jin said anxiously.
Jiang Yun didn't expect that Xu Jin was even more concerned than him, so he couldn't help but feel ashamed and nodded, "Okay, then I have to prepare for it."
"No need to prepare, the horses are ready-made, let's go right away!" Xu Jin went out and went downstairs without saying a word. Jiang Yun had to keep up and didn't even eat.
Xu Jin found Wang Cuiqiao and explained the situation briefly. He told her to stay in the city and wait for him. He only took Zhao Datou and Song Dayan, then rode out of the city and rushed towards Nan'an Prefecture under the guidance of Jiang Yun.
"Old Wang, you have to hold on, at least let me meet you for the last time!" Xu Jin prayed secretly while galloping on the horse.
