Although Chen Jinnan and others were surprised, they still had doubts. They stood there with confused expressions and said nothing.
"She is Princess Changping, it's absolutely true." At this time, an old voice sounded, and then a man walked out of the crowd, with gray beard and hair, holding two pieces of green bamboo. It was Cheng Qingzhu, the leader of the Qingzhu Gang.
He walked forward, glanced around first, and finally his eyes fell on Ah Jiu, full of relief, "Ah Jiu, from today on, you and I are no longer masters and disciples. In order to cover up
There are many violations of status, so please forgive me, princess."
As soon as these words came out, Ah Jiu trembled slightly and was about to object without thinking. Unexpectedly, Cheng Qingzhu shook his head and continued, "Since His Highness has restored his identity, the courtesy cannot be discarded. General Cheng Qingzhu, the former general of the last general hall, will see the chief
Princess Ping."
As he spoke, his knees softened, and he knelt on the ground and saluted.
Ah Jiudeng's head was buzzing. At first, she heard Murong Fu said that she wanted to restore her identity, so she didn't think much about it. She didn't expect that the master who raised her would suddenly become so raw once her identity was revealed.
He was so confused that he couldn't help but look at Murong Fu.
Murong Fu was somewhat unexpected, but after thinking about it, he understood Cheng Qingzhu's painstaking efforts. Cheng Qingzhu was one of the most loyal subordinates of Emperor Chongzhen of the former Ming Dynasty. This was something that many former Ming officials knew.
, as long as he admits Ah Jiu's identity, no one will doubt him anymore.
Sure enough, Chen Jinnan was immediately moved by Cheng Qingzhu's actions and the sound of his sword. Without any doubt in his heart, he immediately paid homage to Ah Jiu.
"Mu Jiansheng of Prince Mu's Palace and his retainers visited Princess Changping."
"Chen Jinnan, the military advisor of the Prince of Yanping County, met with Princess Changping."
"Emperor Hu De, the military advisor of the Prince of Yanping County, met with Princess Changping."
…
With a group of high-ranking officials taking the lead, everyone gradually believed in Ah Jiu's identity, and they all knelt down and paid homage. Of course, it was unknown how many of them were sincere.
Although Zheng Keshuang was extremely reluctant, he still knelt on the ground under Feng Xifan's pull.
After a while, only Murong Fu and his party were still standing in the courtyard.
Zheng Keshuang was immediately furious and shouted in a cold voice, "Be brave, the princess is here, why don't you salute quickly?"
A coldness flashed in Murong Fu's eyes, but before he could make any move, Ah Jiu took the lead, raised his hands in vain, and said slowly, "All righteous heroes, please be free."
At that moment, she was graceful, dignified and noble, and the nobility engraved in her bones was fully revealed. She was many times more noble than the likes of Zheng Keshuang.
Everyone stood up one after another, with more or less excitement showing on their faces.
Chen Jinnan bowed forward and bowed again and said, "I didn't know the identity of Her Royal Highness before, so I offended you so much that I begged her to forgive you."
"Mr. Chen, there is no need to be polite. Now that my country has been destroyed and my family has been destroyed, you can give my father face by calling me 'princess'. I only came here today for the Turtle Killing Conference. You think I am anti-Qing."
You are just one of the righteous men." Ah Jiu sighed and said calmly.
Although everyone was respectful and polite to her, it didn't mean they would respect her orders. She still knew this.
Of course, this is also because she is a female. If a "Ninth Prince" or "Ninth Prince" appeared, the situation would be different. Even if they would not blatantly surround her, they would secretly kill her.
After all, it is already confusing enough for the descendants of today's royal family to have the third prince Zhu and the fifth prince Zhu.
Hearing this, Cheng Qingzhu hurriedly said seriously, "Your Royal Highness, you must not think like this. The incense of our Ming Dynasty is still there, the hearts of the Han people in the world are still there, and the restoration of the country is just around the corner."
Others came forward one after another and said similar words.
Chen Jinnan then took advantage of the situation and invited Ah Jiu to preside over the turtle killing meeting. However, Ah Jiu refused his request due to his young age and poor thinking, and entrusted him to be the host of the turtle killing meeting. As for the previous turmoil caused by Murong Fu, no one knows
Unconsciously disappeared into the invisible.
The moon was in the sky, the insects and birds were silent, the candlelight in the hall was swaying, and many anti-Qing forces leaders gathered together. Chen Jinnan and Emperor Hu De sat at the top, followed by Yuan Chengzhi, Mu Jiansheng and others, followed by Zheng Keshuang and some people in the world.
A slightly famous gang leader.
As for Murong Fu, Shuang'er and Ah Jiu, they sat at the bottom. Originally, both Murong Fu and Ah Jiu were qualified to sit in the front position, but they were rejected by him. As for Ah Jiu, they all
Murong Fu looked attentive, and everyone seemed to have noticed something, so they stopped forcing him.
But for some reason, Wen Qingqing did not sit at the seat of the Golden Snake Camp, but sat next to Murong Fu.
"You don't sit with Yuan Daxia, but sit next to me instead. Aren't you afraid that Yuan Daxia will be offended?" Murong Fu listened to Chen Jinnan's verbosity inadvertently, and while looking around, he said this teasingly.
Wen Qingqing's face turned slightly red, and then he snorted, "What are you talking about? Golden Snake Camp paid such a high price to ask for your help. Naturally, I have to keep an eye on you. Brother Yuan will understand."
"That's right, the price Yuan Chengzhi paid is not small." Murong Fu raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said something meaningful.
"What do you mean?" Wen Qingqing asked immediately.
"I..." Murong Fu was about to speak, but suddenly his words stopped and his eyes fell on a seat in the corner of the hall, where a middle-aged monk wearing white robes sat.
"Why, Shaolin Temple also sent people to participate in the turtle killing ceremony?" Murong Fu asked in confusion.
Wen Qingqing followed his gaze and suddenly realized, she rolled her eyes at him and said, "I really don't know if you are from the Jianghu, but you are not from the Shaolin Temple."
"Not from Shaolin Temple?"
Wen Qingqing explained, "This person calls himself Faqing and is the leader of a branch of the White Lotus Sect."
Murong Fu suddenly nodded. Speaking of the White Lotus Sect, it is really a strange force. Its scale is no less than that of the Golden Snake Camp, Tiandihui and other forces, and is even bigger. However, its roots are complex, and some are anti-Qing and anti-Qing.
Those of the Yuan Dynasty, those who were anti-Jin, and even those who were anti-Song Dynasty. It seemed that the courts of all countries wanted to oppose it.
This makes all parties quite unhappy, but the White Lotus sect has a large number of followers, most of whom are ordinary people. No matter whether it is the government or Jianghu sects, there is nothing they can do. In addition, the White Lotus sect acts in extreme ways and has no sense at all.
Therefore, many people think that they are a cult.
This reminded Murong Fu of the Shenlong Sect in the past. When the Shenlong Sect was in the hands of Hong Antong, the members of the Shenlong Sect were severely brainwashed by him, leading to their sanity. However, in comparison, the White Lotus Sect was more thorough in brainwashing and more effective.
In order to popularize it, followers spread all over the country.
Of course, because more than 90% of the believers and even the top leaders are from ordinary people, even though the White Lotus Sect is huge, it is like a piece of scattered sand. It does not have a firm stand and it is difficult to achieve success. This is why the courts of various countries do not regard it as a serious problem.
.
As Murong Fu's thoughts were spinning, the sound in the hall suddenly became noisy.
"I support Mr. Chen. In terms of reputation and martial arts, he is the highest among all anti-Qing comrades. He must be the leader of the anti-Qing alliance."
"I think Mr. Hu, the helmsman, doesn't have to give in too much."
"I think Yuan Chengzhi, the king of the Golden Snake Camp, is more suitable for this position. Now the Golden Snake Camp covers the entire Shandong and beats the Qing court's eagles and dogs everywhere. If he becomes the general leader, he will definitely be able to strengthen the anti-Qing momentum and defeat the Qing court.
Drive them out of the customs."
"That is, if King Yuan is not the general leader of the alliance, I will not recognize the general leader of the anti-Qing alliance and go to Shandong to defect to the Golden Snake Camp."
…
There were quarrels all of a sudden, and the focus of the debate was who was more suitable to be the leader of the alliance, Yuan Chengzhi or Chen Jinnan. As for the voices of other opinions, they were completely drowned out.
In the crowd, Zheng Keshuang listened to everyone's quarrel, and his heart was extremely irritated. Fortunately, he was still full of joy. He thought that he was condescending to participate in the turtle killing meeting. He thought that the tiger's body would shake, the heroes would bow down, and he would be forced to fight.
He was the leader of the alliance, but he didn't expect that so many people didn't even mention his name.
Thinking of the unfavorable things that had happened one after another since he came here today, first he was bullied and insulted by Murong Fu, and then he knelt down to a woman. How could he accept it when he was quite proud of his heart.
Seeing the silent Feng Xifan next to him, he immediately became angry and scolded in a low voice, "It's all you. If you hadn't been unable to defeat Murong Fu, how could I have been humiliated again and again? Huh, what else is there?
This bullshit turtle killing convention, do these people know that the Heaven and Earth Society is a member of my Zheng family..."
Halfway through his words, Feng Xifan was suddenly startled. He suddenly reached out his hand to cover his mouth and looked around. Fortunately, everyone was rushing to speak at the moment and did not notice the two of them.
"Let me go," Zheng Keshuang shook off his hand, "Why are you stopping me? I just want these people to know... uh uh..."
Feng Xifan didn't care about anything else and hurriedly covered his mouth, dragged him to a corner in the chaos, and then said in a loud voice, "My little ancestor, you almost caused a big trouble by saying those words today, don't forget
, now we are on the territory of the Heaven and Earth Association, and we are trying to make the heavens not respond and the earth not work."
Zheng Keshuang was stunned for a moment, "He...he doesn't dare, right?"
"Who knows," Feng Xifan said with a strange look in his eyes, "You have to know who is behind him. The royal family has been ruthless since ancient times, so the second master must be cautious."
Zheng Keshuang's heart suddenly trembled and he believed it. Feng Xifan continued, "Actually, the Second Young Master shouldn't be angry. The appearance of the Ninth Princess can only be good for you, not bad."
"What do you mean?" Zheng Keshuang asked.
"Think about it, Princess Changping of the Ming Dynasty, if you marry her, the hearts of all the bright people in the world will be on the second young master. When the time comes to raise the flag to fight against the Qing Dynasty, all parties will respond. Not to mention, the prince will also turn against the second young master.
What is surprising is that his status in the palace has risen sharply..."
Zheng Keshuang's heart moved when he heard this, and he couldn't help but glance at Ah Jiu's position. Suddenly, he felt that the beautiful and refined face became more and more attractive.
Ah Jiu glanced towards the corner as if feeling something, a look of confusion flashed across his face.
"What's wrong?" Murong Fu asked casually.
Ah Jiu shook her head, "It's nothing, someone seemed to be staring at me just now."
Murong Fu smiled lightly and said, "This is normal. You are a princess and you are beautiful. Who wouldn't be tempted by you?"
