Prince De is here!

Camp outside the east gate.

Two days ago, when the mighty army appeared outside Dongcheng and set up camp there, everyone in Yangzhou breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter how the outside world spreads how murderous and cruel Prince De is.

But for the gentry and common people in Yangzhou, no matter how brutal he was, they had never heard of him massacring a city. But the Donglu were different. They had massacred more than one or two cities since they invaded!

Ever since they knew that the Donglu were heading south, the gentry and people in Yangzhou had been in fear all day long.

It's fine now. Prince De is here, so you don't have to worry anymore!

As long as Prince De is here, the slaves will definitely not dare to invade Yangzhou. Then Yangzhou will naturally not be devastated!

Therefore, they felt that they had escaped the disaster and were naturally grateful to Prince De. In fact, for the people of Yangzhou City, "Prince De" Zhu Ciying was not only a "life-saving grace" for them, but was also a "star". After all, in

From the beginning of the year to now, Prince De in Yangzhou restaurants and teahouses has long become a storyteller.

Not only was it popular in the late Ming Dynasty, but storytelling was also popular, but most of them were blind. The almshouses set up by state capitals in various places, which were official charities that helped widowers, lonely people and the disabled, would also teach the blind children some ways to make a living, such as fortune-telling.

, storytelling is one of them.

In restaurants and teahouses, these storytellers not only talked about old books such as "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin", but also talked about some newly popular ones to earn some living money. Because most of the tea drinkers had already

I am tired of listening to old books such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin", and even "Journey to the West" and "Journey to the East" (1) are no longer fresh.

If a storyteller wants to make money, he or she must come up with something new. You definitely can’t make money with old books, so how can you stand out among storytellers and come out on top?

Naturally, I just want to ride on the popularity and make a fortune by taking advantage of the freshness and popularity.

Therefore, in the mouths of storytellers, such stories as "The God of Fire Burned Ji County and Destroyed One Hundred Thousand Slaves", "The Prince Guards Ji County", "The God of Fire Fights the Laojun" and the like seem to be fairy tales.

It comes freshly from the mouth of the storyteller.

Although these words were rough and even mostly nonsense, the storyteller found that people were very enthusiastic about those "stories of the prince" that were like fairies and monsters, so they were naturally happy to tell such stories.

Storytellers love to tell, and people love to listen.

For a time, Prince De or the God of Fire became a well-known figure in Yangzhou and other places, and his number of fans in Yangzhou and other Jiangbei cities was even more astonishing. After all, there were many half-immortals in it, but only this one killed for the common people.

He died to become a slave and saved his homeland.

In the past, the common people only heard the story about the scholar who said, "The prince caused fire from the sky to destroy the Eastern Demon, and the evil fairy defended the country." Now, the Donglu were killed and left Nanzhili, but such a fairy-like figure came over.

If Yangzhou is protected, how can these people who feel they have escaped the disaster not be excited?

The common people were like this. Even the salt merchants, who had always looked down upon the clan, warmly welcomed the arrival of Prince De. After all, they cared more about their own wealth and lives than the common people.

As for why he is bloodthirsty.

What's the point? He likes to kill people, so the Donglu are afraid of him, so they don't dare to provoke him, so they don't dare to attack Yangzhou.

As for killing people on the pretext of money and food!

I don’t know about other places, but Yangzhou—the salt merchants are rich in money!

If he has enough money and food, can he still kill people?

Not only must they give him enough money and food, but they must also do everything possible to curry favor with him. Even if the domineering Prince De is imprisoned in the high walls of Zhongdu tomorrow, he must be well taken care of. As long as he is in Yangzhou for one day, Donglu will definitely not

Dare to attack!

money!

We salt merchants have plenty of money!

Even before Prince De came over, the Yangzhou salt merchants who were planning to flee to the south of the Yangtze River started organizing their belongings!

…

At noon, a passenger ship from Songjiang was moored at the dock in Yangzhou. After the river boat, which was more than ten feet long and two feet wide, was moored at the dock, the crew on board informed him of the situation.

"My lord, the ship has arrived in Yangzhou City. My lords are really good at choosing places. As soon as they docked, I heard people on the pier say that Prince De led 30,000 troops and stationed in Yangzhou three days ago. He has his old family here.

, those Donglu would never dare to come and attack Yangzhou."

"Prince Tak!"

There was a sound of surprise in the cabin, and then someone said again.

"But the Crown Prince of Defan in Jinan?"

"But that Prince De who killed more than ten thousand deserters?"

"Isn't that him? Sir, if it weren't for something happening on the ship, we would go over and have a look to get some fairy spirit!"

"Immortal energy? Can Prince De really be an immortal?"

"Immortal Qi, I believe that man is full of murderous aura. He is the first person in the Ming Dynasty clan to kill officials and soldiers!"

"That's not true. I heard that he has a ferocious look. He always drinks human blood and eats human liver..."

…

There were a lot of different opinions in the cabin for a while.

"Since it's a coincidence, let's go take a look!"

After a while, the cabin door curtain was lifted, and a scholar in white robe walked out of the cabin, and then a maid in dark green clothes walked out of the cabin. The cold wind blew their clothes and fluttered, like a pair of gods.

Like a couple.

The maid who followed the scholar was wearing a bun that represented her unmarried status. She looked at the dock in the distance with her eyes and said in surprise.

"Sir, it's really lively on the pier over there! Don't people usually look down on the clan?"

The maid in green shirt said puzzledly.

"Don't everyone say that he likes to eat human livers and drink human blood?"

"It's just a rumor. It's just that Prince De's killing power is very powerful and he is feared by others. But Prince De killed more than ten thousand people. If all my clan in the Ming Dynasty were like him, there would be no need to worry about the unrest in the world and the loss of Liaodong.

How can there be the current danger of the Eastern invaders invading Jiangnan..."

While speaking, the scholar in white robe shook his head and sighed softly.

"It's a pity that he is from the clan..."

The scholar in white robe holding a folding fan in his hand lightly tapped the palm of his hand and said.

"However, with him stationed in Yangzhou, this must be the most stable place in Jiangbei now. The people of Yangzhou are also blessed. At least with him here, the Donglu will never dare to invade easily. There are nearly millions of people inside and outside Yangzhou.

Naturally, everything will be fine."

Just when the two of them stepped ashore on the gangplank, a boy came over to greet them at the pier and said.

"This young master is here from Songjiang. My young master is here to greet you. He can't be separated for a while. Please forgive me!"

The white-robed scholar heard this and said to the man.

"Young Master Zheng, you're welcome."
