When he walked out of the inn, Xiang Zujiang was a little dazed. The scene that had just happened was too strange, which made him dare not believe it completely. He twisted his palm hard, and the pain in his heart came, which made Xiang Zujiang slightly awake.

There is no doubt that a golden avenue appears in front of you depends on whether you can catch it.

Facing the ambush by two thousand elite soldiers, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was safe and sound, which was not ordinary ability. Not only that, His Royal Highness also asked Shandong Governor Shen Zude and Dezhou Prefect Han Ye to write a letter to Liu Zeqing and invite Liu Zeqing to the Jinan Prefecture City. This was even more extraordinary courage. It can be said that when Liu Zeqing faced His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he had no power to resist and had no power to fight back.

Xiang Zujiang had long analyzed that the emperor would not support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to go to Nanjing to supervise the country. Even if a magistrate made such suggestions, the emperor would reject them without hesitation. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left the capital and went to Nanjing to supervise the country.

Now it seems that all this was planned by His Highness the Crown Prince, and His Highness's talent and strategy are vividly displayed on paper.

When you meet such a person, if you don’t seize the opportunity, you will have to wait until?

Xiang Zujiang believed that Shi Minghui had the same idea as him.

Not far ahead is the gate of the station. Xiang Zujiang tried hard to calm his emotions and walked quickly towards the station.

The postman standing at the gate of the station looked at Xiang Zujiang with a flushed face, then lowered his head.

Xiang Zujiang Yu Guang glanced at the postman and stopped and spoke.

"Is the banquet over by sir?"

The postman nodded, indicating that the banquet had ended, but did not answer.

"Did you drink too much?"

The postman shook his head immediately, indicating that Liu Zeqing was not drunk too much, and nodded to Zujiang.

"Yes, sir, there are important things to do tomorrow, so I will definitely not get drunk. Thank you, I will go to see sir now..."

Xiang Zujiang was in high spirits and his face turned red, as if he had drunk a lot of wine.

Liu Zeqing's room is on the north side of the inn, and is a separate courtyard.

The personal guards guarding at the door frowned when they saw Xiang Zujiang coming over with a blushing face.

"Sir, have you rested. Is there anything urgent to do?"

Xiang Zujiang looked at his personal guard and shook his head.

"There is nothing important. Just let it go if you rest. I won't disturb you. Please tell me, Shi Minghui and I are drinking in the inn outside. After drinking, we have to go out for a walk. We may not go back to the inn tonight to rest. I won't have anything important."

The personal guard waved impatiently to Xiang Zujiang.

"I understand, I will report it to the Lord."

Xiang Zujiang nodded, clasped his fists at his guards, and bowed, turned around and swayed towards the outside of the post station.

Soon, an officer leaned his head and looked at Xiang Zujiang who was slowly moving away, with contempt in his eyes.

The officer shrank his head. It turned out that Liu Zeqing was standing in the yard. He could hear clearly what Xiang Zujiang had just said.

"Sir, I think this is venting my dissatisfaction with Zujiang and Shi Minghui. Isn't it just that I didn't eat alcohol? What a big deal, they don't think about it. What identities do they have and what qualifications are they qualified to attend the banquet..."

Liu Zeqing waved his hand and signaled the guards guarding at the door to come in.

"You go and see which inn Xiang Zujiang and Shi Minghui drink at, and who they drink with. After finding out the situation, come and report immediately, and do not delay."

After the personal guard left, another personal guard immediately guarded outside the door.

Liu Zeqing's expression was not very good, and he felt a little angry. In his opinion, Xiang Zujiang and Shi Minghui should stay at the post station honestly. It would be nice to have food to eat, and they were thinking about attending a banquet. The banquet was prepared by the post station for officers and soldiers, and had nothing to do with the two. Because they were unable to attend the banquet, they left the post station and went out to drink, and they were still drunk.

Liu Zeqing basically doesn't care about these aides around him. Many times his aides are just a storefront for outsiders to see. For example, in this marching and fighting, the aides do not have much effect. Instead, they may mislead things because of arguments. When it comes to a critical moment, they still have to rely on many officers and soldiers to decide the victory.

Liu Zeqing, who has such an idea, naturally would not pay attention to his aides. Just talking about the analysis made by Xiang Zujiang, Liu Zeqing thought it was nothing extraordinary after he thought about it, and he would understand the truth after thinking about it for a while.

Seeing that Liu Zeqing's expression was not very good, the officer beside him spoke.

"Sir, otherwise my subordinates will send someone to teach the two of them a lesson and ask them to apologize to the adults."

Liu Zeqing snorted and looked at the officer beside him.

"I know how to use force, but I don't know how to think about it with my mind. The lord who came to the capital to announce the imperial edict is still in the governor's office. If you bring people to the streets to make trouble and alarm the lords from the capital, wouldn't you smear me on the face? I vent my dissatisfaction with Zujiang and Shi Minghui, deliberately went out to drink, and didn't want to go back to the inn, so let them go. After returning to Dongchang Mansion, there is still time to deal with them."

...

After leaving the post station, Xiang Zujiang had become extremely sober and calm. He concluded that Liu Zeqing would send his personal guards to follow him, and he also expected that Liu Zeqing would feel dissatisfied. It should be said that Liu Zeqing didn't care about his staff at all.

When they walked towards the inn quickly, they secretly prayed to Zujiang that Shen Chang and the others should have made arrangements. If Liu Zeqing's personal guards saw an outsider drinking, it would be a problem.

When he walked into the inn, Xiang Zujiang turned around inadvertently and saw the familiar figure in the distance.

When I went upstairs and entered the private room, there was only Shi Minghui inside, and the dishes on the table looked like they had been moved.

After sitting down calmly, Xiang Zujiang breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Shi Minghui, who was intoxicated and hazy, and spoke in a low voice.

"I went to the inn to report that the banquet had ended. I didn't see Liu Zeqing. Liu Zeqing had sent someone to follow him."

A smile appeared on Shi Minghui's face.

"Brother Xiang, we don't have to pay attention to drinking. I believe Liu Zeqing is angry. Because this is Jinan Prefecture City, the adults who announced the edict are still in the governor's office, so they are not angry. Today, we are in a good mood, so we drink a few glasses of wine."

Speaking of this, Shi Minghui picked up the wine glass and raised his voice.

"Brother Xiang, why have you been there for so long? Come on, I'll punish you for a glass of wine..."

The door of the private room was pushed open, and the guy with a frightened look on his face stood at the door, and the personal guard behind him stepped in.

Shi Minghui stood up first, turned his head and also stood up.

"What, sir, do you have anything important? Come, have a drink before leaving..."

Shi Minghui picked up the wine glass, staggered forward, and prepared to hand the guard a glass of wine.

The guard frowned and looked at the room. There were only Shi Minghui and Xiang Zujiang. The leftovers on the table indicate that they had been drinking for a long time.

"Sir, I have nothing to do. I think you are drinking outside. Let me take a look. Okay, you can continue drinking..."

After the personal guard finished speaking, he turned around and left, leaving Xiang Zujiang and Shi Minghui to look at each other.

After the personal guard left, Xiang Zujiang smiled bitterly and shook his head, and Shi Minghui couldn't help laughing.

"Brother Xiang, I thought the personal guards would follow us secretly to see what we were doing. I didn't expect that someone would break in directly. It's stupid, it's really stupid..."

Xiang Zujiang walked to the window, looked down, and spoke slowly.

"Brother Shi, Liu Zeqing is obviously not satisfied with you and me. Have you ever thought about what to do next?"

Shi Minghui looked at the wine glass in his hand and narrowed his eyes.

"Follow your prince, Brother Xiang, your prince will definitely see your performance next. I think the biggest problem faced by Your Prince after punishing Liu Zeqing is how to deal with the soldiers of Pingshan Guard. After all, there are nearly 50,000 people. If you are not careful, you may cause trouble. Now it seems that Liu Zeqing has also made sufficient preparations to concentrate all his troops on Pingshan Guard. Even the soldiers stationed in Dezhou have withdrawn..."

Wave to Zujiang.

"Brother Shi, you're right, but I think that the Crown Prince had probably thought of this long ago. The more than ten officers brought by Liu Zeqing were all confidants. If you deal with these people, Liu Zeqing's influence in the army would be greatly reduced. Besides, over the years, the officers under Liu Zeqing's command have deducted military pay, and the soldiers are already a little dissatisfied. His Prince can win over these sergeants by using a little means. Of course, the premise is to completely eliminate Liu Zeqing's confidant in the army."

"You and I are following Liu Zeqing, feeling depressed and discouraged. Now that we meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it is an opportunity for you and me. If we can serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, we must use twelve points of strength..."

Before Xiang Zujiang could finish speaking, the door of the private room was pushed open.

Zhu Cilang entered the private room.

Xiang Zujiang and Shi Minghui hurried over and prepared to bow down.

Zhu Cilang waved his hand.

"No need, you two wise, Gu admires them very much. From now on, you will be doing things by Gu's side. Gu believes in you, and you must do your best to do things. Liu Zeqing's confidant left by Pingshanwei, write a list and don't have to worry about other things. Gu sees that you will still go back to the inn today, otherwise you will anger Liu Zeqing and cause some trouble."

...

Liu Zeqing is ready to rest. He must get up early tomorrow morning, burn incense and bathe, and then go to the governor's office to receive the order.

The personal guard came to report that Xiang Zujiang and Shi Minghui were indeed drinking in the inn, and there were no one else. They drank a little too much, and it seemed that they were still preparing to continue drinking. This made Liu Zeqing even more angry and believed that the two were dissatisfied.

In his heart, Liu Zeqing had a decision. After returning to Pingshanwei, he must deal with Xiang Zujiang and Shi Minghui, especially Xiang Zujiang, who was a fellow villager with him. A few days ago, he was clamoring to leave Pingshanwei and return to Cao County. He obviously did not want to follow him, Liu Zeqing, to do things. Xiang Zujiang didn't know how to think about it. All fellow villagers among his staff left, what would others think?

"Forget it, let you complain for two days, and get rid of you after you go back..."
