Although it was delayed in Jining for several days because of the assassination, if the progress was accelerated, it would be possible to catch up with the auspicious time in the middle of September.

Xu Changqing almost didn't hesitate and said with a smile: "Changqing should do his best to ensure the smooth completion of the task. I wonder if Lord Ruan has other instructions?"

"Forehead……"

For a moment, not only Ruan Dacheng was a little confused, but Shi Dewei, Hou Fangyu and others were also a little unable to find Bei.

It should be noted that the date when Zhu Cilang ascended the throne at this time was almost directly related to the initiative of the whole world!

Who would have thought that Xu Changqing had already taken the initiative in his hands and could fool him any reason. Then Xu Changqing decided, but he gave it up at this time and proceeded according to the original plan...

Until Xu Changqing prepared the dinner and warmly invited them to dinner, they still couldn't come back to their senses.

However, at the dinner, Xu Changqing was not sharp at all, gentle and elegant, and almost responded to all the requests in Nanjing.

After the dinner ended, Ruan Dacheng returned to the tent, and couldn't help but fall into deep thoughts.

Things are completely different from what I thought.

He originally planned to argue with Xu Changqing, but who knew that Xu Changqing had no intention of controversy at all, so he gave them all the benefits...

"Ahem, sir, are you here?"

At this moment, Hou Fangyu's voice suddenly sounded outside.

Ruan Dacheng also suddenly came to his senses and coughed a few times: "It's Chaozong. Come in."

After a moment, Hou Fangyu came to the tent respectfully, looked at Ruan Dacheng and then looked at each other speechlessly.

After a while, Hou Fangyu spoke, "Sir, is there something wrong with this? The Haicheng Hou is actually..."

Ruan Dacheng still admires Hou Fangyu very much. If he has the chance, he may not be able to support Hou Fangyu. Of course, that was when he was in full control.

But at this moment, his heart was full of chaos, so how could he reveal too much?

"Why."

Ruan Dacheng sighed deeply: "The Marquis's thinking is not something that ordinary people can speculate? Chaozong, don't think too much. The uncle has agreed to act according to the original plan. This is a great thing for me, Ming Dynasty. Let's have a good rest tonight. Tomorrow, we will go to see the prince and the queen."

"yes……"

When Hou Fangyu left, Ruan Dacheng suddenly laughed and shook his head.

Things in the world are impermanent and there will be demons!

Can Xu Changqing be such a good person to be with, so easily give up such a large amount of fat?

But Xu Changqing did this...

Ruan Dacheng didn't know for a moment what medicine was selling in Xu Changqing's gourd.

But he had one thing at this time that Xu Changqing was a bit unfathomable.

...

As Ruan Dacheng and others joined the team, the team's speed increased a lot. By August 22, the team had already arrived in Suqian along the river channel of the Grand Canal.

However, after several days of traveling, Ruan Dacheng was so tired that his bones were about to fall apart even after several days of rushing on the carriage. He strongly asked Xu Changqing to rest for a day in Suqian.

Xu Changqing smiled and agreed to his request very happily.

Just as the team had just set up a camp outside Suqian City, a personal soldier reported that Zheng Sen had arrived.

Xu Changqing had long expected that the Zheng family would definitely send someone here, but he didn't expect that he would come so late and frowned a little.

But when Xu Changqing saw Zheng Sen, he was shocked: "Brother Damu, what are you doing?"

Zheng Sen was at least a circle thinner than before, and his eyes were protruding out, as if he was seriously ill.

When he saw Xu Changqing, he was a little like a baby. When the son saw his parents, he hurriedly explained with a wry smile: "Brother, nearly ten days ago, my father asked the students to rush here. Who would have thought,

I know what happened, there was something wrong with the student's stomach..."

After hearing Zheng Sen's words, Xu Changqing was also a little amused and laughed. This guy was really sick.

"Brother Damu, it's okay, as long as you're fine. Don't worry, you'll take care of yourself first."

Zheng Sen and Xu Changqing were about the same age as Xu Changqing, but they were not as calm as Xu Changqing? They hurriedly tried to explain the matter to Xu Changqing to clear away their Zheng family's suspicion.

Xu Changqing had a long judgment on this.

If the matter was really done by the Zheng family, then Zheng Zhilong is definitely a top hero, so how could there be anything else in the Qing Dynasty?

pity.

According to his personality, he was the richest man in the Ming Dynasty at this time, so he would definitely not be so rash.

Zheng Sen was dragging such a weak sick body at this time, which further confirmed Xu Changqing's judgment. After all, pretending is not enough.

After arranging Zheng Sen, Huang Degong and Zuo Liangyu's envoys also rushed over separately.

Huang Degong's messenger was still Huang Erlang, and Zuo Liangyu was Xu Changqing's brother-in-law Zuo Menggeng, who was not considered outsiders.

Things have basically been clear by this point. If nothing unexpected happens, Zhu Cilang's ascension to the throne will definitely go as scheduled. At this time, everyone will naturally have to increase their investment.

Huang Erlang didn't come here by himself, and Liu Zeqing, who had been under house arrest for a long time, also brought him here.

On Zuo Menggeng's side, there is also General Qiu Lei, who is Zuo Mengmei's biological father. The Zuo family obviously also wants to use this kind of relationship to get closer to Xu Changqing.

After a greeting, Xu Changqing immediately held a banquet to welcome everyone.

They are all military figures, and Wang Tingchen and Liu Zhaoji also came to accompany him. Liu Zhaoji and Zuo Menggeng still have old things, which also makes the atmosphere very lively.

However, in the fun on the surface, Liu Zeqing was unhappy everywhere, and he had long hated Huang De to the core!

If it weren't for the conditions at this time, he would have to kill Huang Erlang.

At first, Xu Changqing thought Huang Degong was too domineering and not very sensible, but when he looked at Liu Zeqing's gritting teeth, he suddenly became clever!

Huang Degong is not ignorant, he is obviously too sensible...

He offended Liu Zeqing to death, so why didn’t he give this handle to himself?

After the banquet ended and returning to his big tent, Xu Changqing also fell into deep thoughts and could not underestimate the heroes of the world!

...

The old saying goes: "The temple has a small demon and the wind is strong, and the pond is deep and there are many turtles."

Not to mention that so many forces had already been mixed in Xu Changqing's team at this time, it was a bit of a hodgepodge.

But things will be clear soon, and no one on all sides dares to cause trouble.

In this apparent peace, the team continued to head south.

When he arrived in Siyang, Huang Degong also rushed over with more than a thousand elite cavalry. Although he did not apologize for guilt, he still put his posture very low.

Xu Changqing is also carefully examining this very competitive player.

It is similar to what I imagined. It is a typical soldier dressed up, tall, strong and resolute, but his skin is excellent, a little too white, and it looks a bit more elegant, but it is not abrupt.

It can be seen that he is a very cunning person.

"Huang Junmen, I've been looking back for a long time."

"Mr. Marquis, to be honest, I am guilty of humble position..."

Huang Degong's posture was lower.

Xu Changqing laughed: "Huang Junmen is joking. You and I are colleagues, not directly under the jurisdiction of the country. Why do you say this? Changqing has been doing this along the way, the public security of Huaian Prefecture is still very good, and Huang Junmen has made great contributions."

Huang Degong also captured some of Xu Changqing's temperament at this time, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, no wonder Xu Changqing was so young.

His mind and scheming may not be able to do even if he is over 20 years older.

As Huang Degong arrived, he reached an agreement with Xu Changqing, and all aspects were smoother, at least on the surface.

superior.

At this time, the size of the team and the number of people drawn from all over the country had already reached 50,000 or 60,000 people. Looking from afar, it was like a moving castle.

finally.

On August 29th, the team successfully arrived at the shore of the mighty Yangtze River.

Ma Shiying, Shi Kefa, and Xu Hongji had already prepared thousands of ships of various types to escort the team across the river.

However, he had already arrived at the destination at this time, and all the people from all sides were not in a hurry.

There are cattle, sheep and food sent by gentry from all over the country, and there is no shortage of supplies for the team. At night, on the bank of the rolling Yangtze River, another banquet was also held.

Of course, there is a difference between civil and military affairs. Even in this time, in this environment, the two sides are still separated, which is even more stringent than the men's and women's toilets in later generations.

Xu Changqing was a little funny about this, but more of it was helpless and could only run around frequently.

"Qiu Junmen, come, let's have a drink."

After three rounds of wine, everyone let go, especially the military personnel, which was a bit messy and was not much better than the barbecue stalls in later generations.

Xu Changqing finally found an opportunity to come over and have a drink with Qiu Lei alone.

Qiu Lei was instantly clever, and his previous intention of drinking also dissipated for most of his time. He quickly raised his glass respectfully: "Mr. Marquis, you are joking. It's a humble name to pay tribute to you..."

As he said that, he was about to drink it.
