Tianjin Port is located at the western end of the Bohai Bay, at the lower reaches of the Hai River and its estuary. It is the port with the shortest distance between the Bohai Rim and inland areas such as North China and Northwest China. It is the maritime gateway to Yanjing, the capital of Northern Xinjiang. Yunzheng just took over Northern Xinjiang.
In his capacity as the governor of Hebei Province, Da Quan issued an order to expand the Tianjin Port. It has been more than a month now. This time he came specially to inspect the expansion work.
In the past, Yunzheng was very comfortable in Northern Xinjiang. He could go anywhere at any time, but unexpectedly, now that he was in power, he was not as comfortable as before. This time he came to Tianjin for inspection, and everyone around him tried their best to dissuade him from going out alone. They were afraid that
This young marshal made even the slightest mistake, and they had good reasons: Marshal Yun was not assassinated once or twice. It happened in other places before. If he was assassinated on the territory of Northern Xinjiang, call these people
Where should I put my face? Yunzheng was forced to admit defeat.
Lord He Yi, the prefect of Tianjin Prefecture, would not leave Yunzheng's side for a moment except sleeping all day long, as if he had become Yunzheng's tail. Yunzheng couldn't bear it anymore, so he told him that he had to take a nap every afternoon.
, asked him to rest for a while and wait for Mr. He to go down to rest. Yun Zheng saw the opportunity and jumped over the wall from the garden while no one was paying attention. The residence he lived in this time was the mansion of Governor He. Tianjin was not prosperous at the moment.
The magistrate's mansion occupies a small area, and the generals, white-clothed guards, and Yingyang Guard sergeants have to guard outside the mansion. Yun Zheng can clearly know how to fortify the soldiers he brings out without having to observe.
On a familiar road, I passed by two teams of patrolling soldiers and went straight to the downtown area.
After Yun Zheng left the house, he just turned a corner and saw Bai Fengyi standing at the street corner with his hands behind his hands, his face gloomy. Bai Fengyi's age was uncertain. Yun Zheng was not sure. He looked like a middle-aged scribe. Yun Zheng had known this person not long ago.
But according to Yun Lan, he has been a similar worshipper in the Yun family for twenty years, and is one of the three hidden masters. This time Yun Lan goes south, Bai Fengyi stays in Yanjing and is responsible for Yun Zheng's safety.
As one of the three masters, Yun Zheng was not surprised to be able to appear in front of him at this moment. He knew that Bai Fengyi was entrusted by his parents to take care of him, so he said hello with a smile: "The weather is nice today, Bai
Master, have you had your meal?"
Bai Fengyi glanced at Yunzheng with some annoyance. Just as he picked up his rice bowl, he found that Yunzheng was missing. Knowing that the young handsome man must want to sneak out, he hurried here to wait for him.
Yun Zheng came over and said with a smile: "You can tell by the look on Master Bai's face that Master Bai has worked so hard for my Yun family that he is almost exhausted. I heard from the servants here that there is a Tingtao Pavilion in Tianjin City, opened by a retired imperial chef.
His reputation has spread far and wide. Now that he has come out, I will be the host today and show my respect to Master Bai."
Bai Fengyi suddenly couldn't laugh or cry. He really couldn't do anything about this young marshal. This young marshal's temperament was a bit weird, sometimes serious and sometimes funny. However, he had been a little bored in the past few days and wanted to go out and walk around. He knew that Yun Zheng
My martial arts at this moment is actually extremely high, and with me by my side, I should be fine.
Bai Fengyi and other three masters have a special status in the Yun family. Bai Fengyi does not respect Yun Zheng as much as others do to the young marshal. He only obeys Yun Lan's instructions and is not very polite to Yun Zheng. Hearing this, he frowned and said: "
Even if we want to go, does the young marshal know the way?"
Yunzheng smiled and said: "I don't know it, but it must know it." He took out a few copper coins from his arms and tossed them, and said to a child on the roadside: "Take us to Tingtao Pavilion, this money is yours."
The child's eyes sparkled and he happily took the two of them to Tingtao Pavilion.
The business at Tingtao Pavilion was really booming. The ground floor was already full of people. Yun Zheng looked at it and asked the waiter at the door: "Are there any private rooms upstairs?"
The waiter was a little confused: "The upstairs is already full, why don't you two share a table with others downstairs?"
Yun Zheng frowned slightly. During this period, he, Marshal Yun, could be said to have enjoyed all the glory. Unknowingly, he had developed the temperament of a wealthy man. Whenever he heard that he wanted to share a table with others for dinner, he would always turn back to Bai Feng with some reluctance.
Yi said: "Master Bai, let's go upstairs first. Maybe someone is finishing their meal and it's too noisy here."
Bai Fengyi didn't care, so he followed Yunzheng upstairs. When the waiter saw the two of them dressed in bright clothes, he didn't dare to stop them at will, so he had to follow him.
The waiter didn't lie. The private room upstairs was already full, and not long after everyone had finished their meal, Yun Zheng was walking back and forth in the aisle, quite impatient.
Suddenly Yunzheng stopped in front of the door of a room, listened attentively, and suddenly opened the door.
The waiter was startled, groaned secretly, and hurriedly stepped forward to tell the guests in the private room whether he was with me or not.
Yun Zheng walked inside and said with a smile: "Okay, you two are here too."
Bai Fengyi came over and took a look, only to see Yun Weili and Ning Pengxuan sitting inside in a daze**
After Yun Zheng took over the power, Yun Weili and Ning Pengxuan were also on the rise. When Yun Zheng attended banquets with local officials, he usually brought them with him. Those officials did not dare to be presumptuous with Marshal Yun, and treated Yun Weili and Ning Pengxuan with him.
Ning Pengxuan was not polite. On the left, he said he was young and promising, and on the right, he said he was handsome and talented. He drank the two of them into confusion. He had hardly eaten a grain of rice for several days, and his stomach was full of wine. It was not easy to sneak here today.
While waiting for Tingtao Pavilion to eat some light side dishes, Yun Zheng unexpectedly bumped into him.
After Yun Zheng finished speaking, he ignored them and walked straight in and sat down. Accompanying Yun Ning and the others was Li Dashan, the manager of the Yun Mansion who was accompanying them this time. He quickly stood up and cleaned up Yun Zheng's desk.
Bai Fengyi was not polite and sat down after finding his own seat. Yun Weili and Ning Pengxuan saw Yun Zheng sit down by himself, but they did not dare to neglect. They stood up and saluted and invited him to come in. They were also very polite to Bai Fengyi.
, because he is not only the elder of the two of them, but also has a special status in the Yun family. Even Yun Lan is polite to him, and the two of them naturally respect him.
Yun Zheng slapped the table and said to the waiter at the door: "Bring all the good wine and food." Yun Zheng is not short of gold and silver at the moment. He is not someone who likes to show off his image of being close to the people. When he should be free to eat and drink, he
It’s no loss to myself, I must show off my prestige at this moment
Ning Pengxuan glanced at him: "Brother Feng wants to drink?"
Yunzheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "I won't drink anymore. The wine is for Master Bai. I only eat vegetables here."
Although the business at Tingtao Pavilion was good, the food was still served very quickly. After a while, five or six pieces of Yunzheng and Bai Fengyi were served. After eating for a long time, when he saw the other three people not moving their chopsticks, Yunzheng said curiously:
"Why don't you eat?"
Yun Weili and Ning Pengxuan originally came out to eat something light, but they didn't know that Yun Zheng was about to have another big meal. Looking at the table full of big fish and meat, Yun Weili and Qiang felt nauseated.
He smiled and said: "Young Marshal and Master Bai, we are almost done." After saying that, he took a plate of vegetarian dishes and took a few bites.
Bai Fengyi's face suddenly hardened, he put down his chopsticks and said: "Young Marshal, there are more than a dozen people coming up with weapons."
Li Dashan was a little nervous. He stood up and stood guard at the door.
Yunzheng listened carefully and found that some people had indeed come up, but he had little experience in martial arts and could not tell whether they were armed or not.
Seeing Yunzheng frowning, Bai Fengyi knew that he had not heard that the person was carrying weapons, so he said calmly: "Bai has been traveling in the world for many years, so there is no mistaking this information."
Yun Zheng nodded and did not refute. He knew that Bai Fengyi was so valued by his father, so he had rich experience in the world. Since he said it with such certainty, it must be true.
The door of the room was suddenly pushed open. A big man with a sword on his waist said loudly: "Tingtao Pavilion has been booked by Zhanfu. You guys should leave quickly." After saying that, without looking at Li Dashan who was standing at the door,
turned around and left
Yun Weili and Ning Pengxuan's expressions changed. They had followed Yun Zheng for so long. Their identities were Marshal Yun's confidants. They had a very high status in Northern Xinjiang. Although they could not be said to be bullying others, they were not easy to get along with either.
Senior, that big man was so rude just now. This was the first time they met, especially Ning Pengxuan. He was the eldest son of Tingshui Villa in Suzhou. Even the prefect of Suzhou was polite to him. After following Yun Zheng
, "Young Marshal's Cousin", "Personal Guard" and other identities made the generals in Northern Xinjiang particularly kind and polite to him. How could he endure it?
Ning Pengxuan glanced at Yunzheng and saw that Brother Feng seemed to have not heard anything and was still eating happily, so he understood what he meant and said in a deep voice: "Manager Li, please sit down and we will continue eating.
"
Yun Weili didn't say anything either. Although he was more honest and kind than Ning Pengxuan, he was already bullied to the point where he couldn't bear to swallow his words.
Yunzheng had been bored in the house for many days and rarely came out. When he saw someone coming to find trouble, he couldn't help but feel excited when he thought that there would be a good show to watch after dinner.
Not long after, the big man walked around outside and came back. Seeing these people still eating slowly, he stared: "Why don't you leave?"
Ning Pengxuan said without raising his head: "Go away and ask your master to speak."
The man was furious and cursed: "Mom, what the hell are you?" He stepped forward and was about to overturn the table.
Bai Fengyi was also an arrogant person in the past. Seeing this man's rude behavior, he frowned slightly, flicked his index finger, and two chopsticks flew out from the table, flew close to the big man's temples, and sank deep into the wall. This was what he had done in recent years.
Come and hide in Yun Mansion, cultivate yourself and cultivate your character because your anger will be greatly reduced, otherwise these two chopsticks will kill both of that person’s eyes.
The big man looked back and saw an earth-colored cloud-like face. Wei Li, Ning Pengxuan and Li Dashan high-fived and cheered loudly.
The big man retreated tremblingly. Ning Pengxuan took two wine glasses and signaled Li Dashan to pour wine for the three of them. He and Yun Weili stood up and said, "Mr. Bai's magical skills are amazing. It's a blessing for you to have him take care of you.
The two of us can also be lazy for a while, and I would like to propose a toast to you sir."
Bai Fengyi drank the wine with a smile and said: "It's a small thing, it can only be used to scare those arrogant people, it's not worth mentioning."
Yunzheng curled his lips and said nothing
tuk tuk
A man in green shirt stood at the door, clasped his fists into the room and said: "Mei Sansheng, the steward of Tianjin Mei Mansion, has met with you all. I have offended you in the past. Please forgive me." As he said this, he secretly glanced sideways at the Qi Gen who had not entered the wall.
With the chopsticks inside, I couldn’t help showing a look of surprise on my face
Bai Fengyi suddenly remembered the origin of the other party, and laughed secretly that he had not been in the martial arts for a long time, and had almost forgotten what happened on the road. Tianjin Meifu and Yanjing are so close, and he didn't even remember that Tianjin Meifu is one of the six major martial arts schools.
One of the aristocratic families, the contemporary head of the family, Mei Yiting, is one of the few master-level masters in Bai Dao. His ancestral martial arts "Three Plum Blossom Movements" are powerful all over the world.
Although Bai Fengyi already knew who the other party was, he didn't take it seriously. Even if Mei Yiting came in person, he wouldn't necessarily be afraid. What's more, he was just a small steward and the Bai Dao family had a big business. Unless they had official status,
Otherwise, Bai Fengyi would not believe that they would dare to offend the prince of the dynasty, who was currently the most powerful person in charge of the two provinces of Northern Xinjiang.
The man in green shirt, Mei Sansheng, saw that no one was paying attention to him. He was slightly angry in his heart. He had rich experience in the world and had an experienced eye. When he saw Bai Fengyi sitting at the front seat, he was the oldest among them. Even though he was dressed as a scholar, he still had some aura of the world.
, stepped forward and saluted: "This great hero, Mei Sansheng is very polite."
Bai Fengyi played with the wine glass and said slowly: "Hero? Ha, I can't afford to be one."
Mei Sansheng was taken aback and said: "This... sir, my eldest young master is planning to entertain a guest from afar. This guest has a high status and a very special background, so he wants to occupy the palace. Sir, please look at it in Tianjin."
For the sake of Mei Mansion, please bear with me. The money for this drink will be credited to our Mei Mansion account."
Li Dashan on the side saw that although Yun Zheng had no expression on his face, his young cousin Ning Pengxuan had an unkind look on his face and shouted: "Then let your young master speak, you are not qualified."
Mei Sansheng suppressed the anger in his heart and sneered: "Friends, you don't take Mei Mansion seriously. What kind of status is my young master..."
Ning Pengxuan slammed the table and shouted: "Then do you know who we are?"
Yun Weili was also a little unhappy and said: "If you don't go out yet, ask your master to come over."
Mei Sansheng couldn't help but get angry when he saw that these people were still unmoved when he heard that he had left the Mei family. However, after considering that he was definitely no enemy of the middle-aged scribe, he could only sneer: "Then please wait a moment."
Yunzheng ate two bites of food quickly, picked up the empty plate in front of him and threw it towards Mei Sansheng. He smiled harmlessly and said, "Take the empty plate away by the way."
Mei Sansheng subconsciously stretched out his hand to catch the plate. Unexpectedly, a strong force came from him. Unexpectedly, he took several steps back and fell out of the door. If he hadn't been holding a hand by the door, he would have made a fool of himself on the spot.
Mei Sansheng's expression changed greatly. He knew that even this young master was invincible, so he had no choice but to lead everyone downstairs.
Ning Pengxuan saw that Mei Sansheng was smashed out by Yun Zheng with just a plate. He was a little envious and said: "Brother Feng's rapid progress in martial arts is really enviable."
Yun Zheng chuckled and said: "Pengxuan, don't be anxious. In fact, your martial arts foundation is very solid, and you will definitely achieve great results in the future." He stopped his chopsticks, thought for a while and said: "The loyal and honest Dragon Elephant Magic Kung Fu, Peng
Have you also studied Xuan?"
Ning Pengxuan nodded and said: "Brother Feng's Dharma Eyes are as bright as a torch. When I was a child, I learned the Dragon Elephant Prajna Magic Skill to build the foundation of my internal strength."
Yun Zheng smiled: "No wonder I saw a majestic air in your swordsmanship, as if it were made in heaven. It turns out that there is the aura of dragon-elephant Prajna magic in it. That's it. Practice hard.
Don’t live up to your uncle and elder brother’s wishes. I don’t understand Dragon Elephant Prajna, but if you have any difficulties with swordsmanship, feel free to ask me. I have mastered the Ning family’s swordsmanship.”
Ning Pengxuan was happy, then surprised: "Brother Feng has mastered the swordsmanship of the Ning family?"
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "I have good conditions for practicing swordsmanship." What he meant was that with Shui Youhan, the sword god, as his master, no other sword skills would be difficult.
Ning Pengxuan thought about it, and then thought about it again and felt that Brother Feng was really powerful. Even his father had not mastered the swordsmanship of the Ning family, but he had already mastered it. Brother Feng was only twenty-eight years old. It was really speechless.
can be said
Although Yun Weili was a little jealous on the side, he always knew that his martial arts were taught by the young commander. Since the young commander is so powerful, he must be able to learn what he has learned. As long as he works hard to practice, he will definitely be successful in the future.
day
A clear voice sounded outside the door: "I would like to see Mei Lindong of Tianjin."
Ning Pengxuan smiled and said: "I've been here twice just now, why should I be so coquettish and come in?"
"In that case, Mei Lindong excuses me for disturbing you." After saying that, a young man in white walked in slowly.
Yunzheng secretly cheered. This young man simply fits the image of a perfect young knight in his mind: dressed in white, handsome, holding a folding fan, and polite. Except for the fan, he is almost a replica of himself, but now the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed.
Now, the temperature in the north has already turned cold, so holding a fan would be a bit too pretentious.
Mei Sansheng was originally following Mei Lindong, but now he stepped forward and introduced to everyone: "This is the leader of the four martial arts masters, the eldest son of the Tianjin Mei family, Mei Lindong."
Mei Lindong straightened his back, opened his folding fan and fanned it gently, looking at everyone with a smile.
