Today's Shangjing was particularly lively. First, a piece of heavy news came out: Chu Zhongwu was back.
Although Chu Qianqiu's real hometown is Lingzhou, the few days he spent in Shangjing shone like the sun on the whole of Shangjing.
The common people still remember the story of the seven evils he committed in Beijing, but as for the eighth evil, he no longer dares to go to the streets to cause trouble.
It is said that when the eighth evil heard Lord Zhongwu's name, he would tremble all over and make people clap their hands in joy.
So the people still remember his kindness.
When many tea drinkers heard that he was back, they hurriedly gathered in the teahouse and heard that Mr. Shu told stories that they never got tired of hearing.

"Last time, I said that when Master Zhongwu came to [Xuanmiao Temple], that [Zimei Taoist] was too arrogant. Not only did he not go out to greet him, but he even went to [Mahjong City] to snatch men and women, and did all kinds of evil!"
"As for the result, you can see what the result will be."
"He must have been captured by Lord Zhongwu and beheaded in public display!"
"when!"
The storyteller first slapped the gavel hard and said loudly:
"That's right, that [Zimei Taoist] actually resisted and released nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine evil ghosts. Each of those evil ghosts came from the eighteen levels of hell, and they are very famous."
"Each of these evil spirits can make the red land thousands of miles without even a blade of grass growing."
"Those evil spirits were released from the Taoist priest's gourd, and in an instant the sky was covered with evil spirits, and the whole place was filled with evil spirits."
The listeners were attentive and took a breath of air-conditioning. The storyteller enhanced the atmosphere to the extreme and shouted loudly:
"At this critical moment, Master Zhongwu recited the name of the Buddha. In an instant, the Buddha's light filled the surrounding areas. The evil ghosts around him began to cry. There were nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine evil ghosts who were causing harm to the world. There were no evil ghosts.
One can escape."
"Then [Taoist Zuimei] saw that the situation was not good, and swept away 5,555 young beauties in Sparrow City, and was about to flee in the direction of Daxia."
"This thief has committed many evil deeds and is shameless. How could Lord Zhongwu let him escape?"
"Lord Zhongwu drew his sword and slashed, and [Zimei Taoist]'s head fell to the ground on the spot. How sad!"
"good!!!"
The audience applauded continuously, and the storyteller's face was glowing. It was not that he told the story well, but that Lord Zhongwu was back and he could earn a lot of money just by taking advantage of the heat.
He was not too greedy, thinking that when he returned home, half of the money would be dedicated to Lord Zhongwu to burn incense for him.
The listeners in the teahouse are all knowledgeable. This [Xuanmiao Temple] is [King Kong Temple], [Sparrow City] is [Peacock City], and [Zimei Taoist] is [Zen Master Evernight].
After all, the people of the Shenwu Dynasty had gone through many battles, and it was clear that it was a life-threatening act for the Buddha of Heijingang Temple. No one dared to do it. Even if Chu Zhongwu really killed Zen Master Wuye, storytellers would not dare to talk about it.
But they can say it in a different way.
…
Shangjing, Xu Guogong Mansion
"Chu Zhongwu, is he back?"
"So fast?"
"Yuanxun, you immediately ask Elder Wei to take Shi'an away and let him go to Yunzhou, no, let him go to Haizhou."
"Wherever Chu Zhongwu appears, Shian retreats three thousand miles."
Duke Xu Guogong took a breath of cold air and ordered Xu Yuanxun to the martial arts expert in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Sir, is this necessary?" Xu Yuanxun was surprised and said in disbelief.
"General Dou once contacted me and said that he wanted to invite me to collaborate on major events, but I refused directly."
"And this time when the news came from Fengzhou, General Dou didn't even make a sound and just retreated."
"Don't you think this is weird?"
"If I guess correctly, Chu Zhongwu must have had a fight with General Dou."
"And General Dou was completely defeated."
"At the age of sixteen, when he was at the peak of his martial arts career, he beheaded Zen Master Evernight in the Vajra Temple. What kind of monster is this?"
"Don't be your enemy."
"If he wants to kill Shi'an now, even Master Meng may not be able to save him."
Xu Guogong said in a cold voice that he had never seen such an evil genius. The more he thought about it, the more horrified he became, and he directly ordered Xu Yuanxun to take him away.
"Yes, sir."
"If I don't leave, I'm not afraid of him, I will stay in Shangjing!"
When Xu Shian heard this, he roared angrily, saying that he was not afraid of Chu Qianqiu at all.
"Knock him out and take him away."
"Yes, sir."
Xu Shi'an didn't struggle twice before he was knocked unconscious by two masters. The two men carried him and ran towards Haizhou.
However, Chu Qianqiu didn't come for him at all.
I don't even plan to argue with him now.
He has more important things to deal with.
…
Going to Beijing, Prince Jing's Mansion
"Your Majesty is too kind."
Chu Qianqiu refused with great grace in front of the guests who came to check on King Jing's health.
"How can you be polite?"
"I was in the most critical moment at that time. I was about to go to the underworld. Lord Zhongwu found an elixir of living dead and flesh and white bones, and forcefully rescued me from the underworld."
"Everyone, how much is the elixir that can save people worth?" King Jing turned his head and said loudly to the people who came to see him.
"Immeasurable, immeasurable."
The people who came to visit include Zhu Xingxiu, the Minister of Rites, Jing Yulong, the Minister of War, Zheng Qiuhao, the Minister of Punishments, etc. They all answered in unison.
Although Zhu Xingxiu was absent-minded and both Jing Yulong and Zheng Qiuhao were staring at King Jing closely, it did not prevent them from answering questions.
"Lord Zhongwu is willing to hand over such an elixir to me. This is such a great kindness. He is my savior."
"Even if I give away all my family property in Zhongzhou, I still won't be able to repay this kindness."
"I hereby promise that if Lord Zhongwu needs anything, I will take all the treasures in Prince Jing's mansion!"
"If anyone from the royal family is in the way, they will be killed without mercy!"
King Jing recognized Chu Qianqiu's kindness in front of everyone.
His kindness will never be repaid.
Chu Qianqiu almost died laughing.
No, you can't laugh, you have to hold it back.
He controlled King Jing by himself, played two roles by himself, and under the prying eyes of many ministers and masters, he performed the role to a 100% accuracy.
Everyone has heard that from today on, Chu Qianqiu can take whatever he wants from Prince Jing's Mansion.
"You can't do it. Your Majesty, you must not do it."
Chu Qianqiu was like a child who refuses red envelopes during the holidays, waving his hands repeatedly and saying that he could not accept the red envelope.
"The prince just got seriously ill, and the official got an elixir from somewhere. It can be seen that the prince has his own destiny."
"It's not..."
"Lord Zhongwu, please stop talking."
"The king has made up his mind."
"Does Lord Zhongwu want to make this king uneasy for the rest of his life?"
King Jing said sincerely, and Chu Qianqiu had a troubled expression on his face.
"Then Chu will have no choice but to be disrespectful."
"In addition, after this life and death crisis, I found that fame and fortune are not as good as a happy family."
"From today on, my king will move his family from Zhongzhou and reunite in Shangjing."
What?
Prince Jing's palace has always lived in Zhongzhou in the past dynasties, but this time Prince Jing was actually willing to move his family to Shangjing.
Wouldn't that mean being a hostage?
…
So when King Jing saw this news, his eyes darkened at first, and then he wanted to crush Chu Qianqiu to ashes.
"This is too much!"
"Chu Zhongwu, you are going too far!"
"Your Majesty?"
The shadow warriors around King Jing asked tremblingly.
"If Yulong was here, how could he let Chu Zhongwu bully him at will?"
