The enchantress Ruonan racked her brains and tried her best to persuade Hua'er, but she succeeded in persuading Hua'er. However, unfortunately, she went to the wrong temple to worship the wrong Bodhisattva. Although Hua'er was persuaded, she had no right to make the decision.
The final decision maker was Zhu Ping'an. Zhu Ping'an had a standard iron will of a working man, but was not swayed by the seductress Ruonan's sharp tongue. The seductress Ruonan's efforts ultimately ended in failure.
This also led to the fact that at dinner that day, the demon girl Ruonan, who had not eaten Zhu Ping'an's food, rolled her eyes a lot.
On the second day, Zhu Pingan, Liu Dadao and others drove two carriages to Eunuch He's garrison office as scheduled.
"Sir Xiao Zhu, you are here. What do you need to register? Please come in directly. My godfather has been waiting for you for a long time. If he hadn't been frightened yesterday and was slightly ill, he would have been waiting for you at the door.
.”
A young eunuch with delicate features was waiting at the yamen gate, and he warmly welcomed Zhu Ping'an and his entourage into the yamen.
"Excuse me, father-in-law. I wonder what I call you?" Zhu Pingan asked politely, holding his hands in his hand.
"You're welcome, Mr. Xiao Zhu. Just call me Xiao Xizi." The little eunuch replied with a smile on his face.
"It turns out to be Mr. Xi, whom I have admired for a long time." Zhu Pingan said politely.
"Haha, Mr. Xiao Zhu is really good at joking. How can a young eunuch deserve Mr. Xiao Zhu's admiration for a long time? He should be the one who has long admired Mr. Xiao Zhu.
Whether it is the inspection of Taicang, the first play of the Ming Dynasty, or the deeds of Mr. Xiao Zhu in governing Jingnan, the small ones are all like thunder."
Xiao Xizi replied with a smile, she knew Zhu Pingan quite well and knew Zhu Pingan's deeds very well.
This made Zhu Pingan a little surprised. It was a bit unusual for a young eunuch to pay so much attention to him. Although he had some shining points, he was still young and his official position was not high, so he was not so famous.
"Haha, I also deliberately inquired about Master Xiao Zhu after Master Xiao Zhu beat Xiao Qianzi with a cane."
Seeing Zhu Ping'an's surprise, Xiao Xizi explained with a smile.
"Xiao Qianzi? He's the villain who cheated and pretended to be the emperor's official..." Zhu Pingan thought about it for a while and then remembered it.
"Haha, yes, it is that arrogant and self-righteous idiot." Xiao Xizi nodded with a smile, and while leading Zhu Ping'an to Eunuch He's room, he said happily, "To be honest with Mr. Xiao Zhu, back then,
When I was in the capital, this fool made things difficult for me at every turn. He framed me many times and made me suffer a lot. He even once caused me to be rewarded with ten pieces of gold by my father-in-law. However, God has eyes at last.
I sent Master Xiao Zhu down to earth to avenge Xiao Qianzi. You don’t know how happy I was after I got the news that Xiao Qianzi was beaten to death in Jingnan.”
I see.
Zhu Pingan finally understood that the reason why Eunuch Xi paid so much attention to him was not that he was too famous, but that there was a reason for it. Eunuch Xi had been persecuted by the arrogant Eunuch Qian, and he dealt with Eunuch Qian severely in Jingnan, which was quite a deal.
Yu avenged him, so he paid so much attention to himself.
"Master Xiao Zhu, please be careful of this idiot Xiao Qianzi in the future. He is a villain with a heart smaller than the eye of a needle. He has suffered such a big loss at your hands, Master Xiao Zhu, and he will definitely wait for an opportunity to take revenge on you in the future.
.If you meet him in the future, you must be more careful. Don't be deceived by him, and don't show mercy. A treacherous villain like him bullies the weak and fears the strong. The more ruthless you are, the better." As Eunuch Xi walked away,
While reminding Zhu Ping'an.
"Haha, I won't offend anyone unless they offend me. If someone offends me, I will offend them. If they offend me again, I will eradicate them."
Zhu Pingan smiled and said softly.
Eunuch Xi's reminder contained his personal belongings, but it didn't matter, Zhu Ping'an had his own judgment.
"What Mr. Xiao Zhu said is really good. I was enlightened after hearing this. I won't offend anyone unless they offend me. If someone offends me, I will offend them. If they offend me again, I will eradicate them... Yeah, that's the truth.
.”
Grandpa Xi was full of praise for Zhu Pingan's words.
Zhu Ping'an was unfazed and walked for a few minutes before arriving at Eunuch He's room. Eunuch Xi knocked on the door to report. Soon he heard footsteps coming from the room and a creak, and Eunuch He opened the door from inside.
Eunuch He indeed looked sickly, wearing pajamas and a warm towel wrapped around his head. Although he was smiling, his face was pale and bloodless, and his steps were not so steady.
Eunuch Xi quickly stepped forward to help Eunuch He.
"Haha, I made Mr. Xiao Zhu laugh. The Za family was frightened yesterday and forced themselves to go to the Ministry of War. When they came back, they were infected with wind and cold. They sweated frequently and had no strength. Otherwise, the Za family would be waiting for Mr. Xiao Zhu at the door.
.”
Eunuch He said with a bitter smile.
"Eunuch He, lie down quickly. Yesterday, three thousand rebel soldiers hacked Huang Shilang to death with machetes. The murderous intent was on his head. Eunuch He was able to break out of the encirclement with the sword of the rebel soldiers and spread the news of the rebellion to the camp. In the eyes of the lower official, he is more courageous than
Changshan Zhao Zilong, who went in and out seven times at the foot of the Changban slope, did not try to make too many concessions. It was He Eunuch who bought precious time for quelling the chaos and laid the foundation for putting it down. The subordinates' admiration was not as high as that, so how could they laugh at Eunuch He?
.”
Zhu Ping'an cupped his hands and replied.
Eunuch He sat on the bedside with Xiao Xizi's support, and Xiao Xizi tucked a pillow behind his back.
Hearing Zhu Ping'an compare his hasty escape from the chaos to Zhao Zilong who went in and out seven times on the Changban slope, Eunuch He's pale and sick face couldn't help but a touch of excitement appeared on his face. He felt so benefited that he couldn't hide the smile on his lips.
, but still said modestly on his face, "Master Xiao Zhu is joking, Changshan Zhao Zilong is full of courage, the Za family has become a sick cat after this, how can it be compared to it."
The conversation was very pleasant.
"Haha, if I hadn't known Mr. Xiao Zhu's identity, I would have thought that Mr. Xiao Zhu was a miraculous doctor who could rejuvenate his body and make his godfather feel ten times better." Xiao Xizi joked.
Eunuch He laughed and scolded Xiao Xizi, and Xiao Xizi suddenly felt as refreshed as if she had drank a jar of old wine.
For a long time, Eunuch He couldn't hold it any longer, so he reluctantly ended the conversation, and asked Xiao Xizi to take Zhu Pingan to the back office warehouse to collect the cannon. Finally, he sold a pass to Zhu Pingan, saying that there would be one later.
Surprise for Zhu Pingan.
Surprise? What surprise?!
Zhu Ping'an was a little curious, but seeing that Eunuch He was not feeling well and deliberately showing off, he had no choice but to suppress his curiosity.
"Master Xiao Zhu, you are so awesome. My godfather has never looked so favorably on any foreign minister. Master Xiao Zhu is the only one." Xiao Xizi said while leading Zhu Ping'an to the back office warehouse.
"Really? I'm extremely honored." Zhu Pingan replied with a smile.
