Zhu Gui did not choose to go to Nanjing with Su Wang Zhu Kai.
Not only was the latter a large number of boats, horses and carriages, but there were hundreds of people accompanying him, and he didn’t know when he would be able to reach Nanjing.
Zhu Gui only brought Xu Miaoqing and twenty soldiers with him, and his speed was much faster.
Moreover, before congratulating the prince on his birthday, he had to go to see Duke Xu Guo. He had already learned from Xu Yingxu that the father-in-law had helped him speak a lot in front of the emperor about the previous events.
Along the way, you can see all the prosperity, but it can't hide the dilapidation and desolation of the land of Ming Dynasty. All of this gave Xu Miaoqing a great feeling.
She understood better how Zhu Gui could bring a good life to ordinary people in Datong Mansion, and her feelings for Zhu Gui became more admirable.
After five days of traveling at full speed, they finally arrived near Nanjing City.
It was already very prosperous here, and since there was still plenty of time, Zhu Gui slowed down and decided to rest in a small town for half a day before continuing on his way.
The soldiers began to take good care of the horses and prepare supplies, while Zhu Gui and Xu Miaoqing strolled on the street together.
Seventy percent of the streets here are similar to those in Nanjing, and they are very familiar to the two of them who grew up in Nanjing.
When Xu Miaoqing saw some small objects on the street, she would beg Zhu Gui to buy them for her.
Zhu Gui no longer had the serious temper he used to have, and he also gave Xu Miaoqing everything he wanted.
The two of them enjoyed the rare time alone together.
But not long after, a group of people gathered around.
The leader was a dandy with an exaggerated expression. He led his servants around the two of them several times, with a pair of evil eyes on Xu Miaoqing.
Xu Miaoqing had never been so 'disdained' before. She said in a cold voice: "Thieves, what are you looking at?"
"Hey, you are so polite, little lady. I have taken a liking to you. That's your courtesy. Do you know who I am?"
Not only was the dude not angry, he actually said with a smile.
"That's right, my young master is the legitimate son of Mr. Huang, a wealthy man in the city. You are convinced that he likes you."
"Little lady, you have a good life. Come back to your house with my young master, and you will never have to worry about food and clothing again."
The two servants behind the dandy boy echoed incessantly.
The three of them seemed to be unable to see Zhu Gui beside Xu Miaoqing.
There were many passers-by watching from a distance, but they did not dare to come around. However, it could be seen from their expressions that they seemed to be used to this kind of thing.
"I don't care who you are, get out of here, or you'll take the cake."
Xu Miaoqing was furious and was about to reach for the gun at her waist, but Zhu Gui calmly stopped her and shook her head.
"This place is too close to Kyoto. We cannot use pistols unless absolutely necessary, let alone cause any loss of life."
Zhu Yuanzhang's birthday is approaching. If Zhu Gui causes trouble again at this time, he may be severely punished.
Xu Miao stomped her feet angrily and picked up a piece of bamboo from the stall next to her: "Is this the head office?"
Zhu Gui nodded helplessly.
Then I saw Xu Miaoqing hit her head and face.
Where has the dandy Huang seen such a battle? He usually relies on his father's name to cause mischief on the street.
So he was severely beaten by Xu Miaoqing.
Before leaving, he covered the sore spot and shouted: "You bitch, just wait for me. I'll go back and call someone to make sure you look good."
There was a burst of applause from passers-by around him.
However, the vendor next to him persuaded with a look of fear: "Aren't you two locals? It's better to leave quickly, you will definitely get into trouble."
Zhu Guidao said: "This is the foot of the emperor. How dare this big family in the city be so domineering?"
The merchant said helplessly: "Mr. Huang has a lot of connections in the capital and is related to local officials, so he can avoid being held accountable for causing harm to the hometown. You two should leave as soon as possible."
Xu Miaoqing snorted coldly: "That's unreasonable. I didn't expect that there would be such scum in a place like this. Zhu Gui, can you take care of it?"
Zhu Gui looked troubled. He already had a bad reputation in Nanjing, and now he was outside the vassal state. If something happened, it would be easy for people to use this reason to criticize him.
But seeing the expectant look on Xu Miaoqing's face, he thought for a moment and nodded.
However, it was not wise to wait for the other party to retaliate here, so he took Xu Miaoqing back to the hotel, and then took out the king's token and asked his soldiers to take it to the local government for safekeeping, and at the same time asked several soldiers to pretend to be ordinary people.
Go and 'lead the way' for Mr. Huang.
Not long after, Mr. Huang gathered a group of people and arrived in front of the hotel.
The hotel owner didn't know what was going on, but when he saw the person coming, he knew he couldn't afford to offend him, so he stepped aside.
Master Huang stood at the door of the hotel and shouted loudly: "You bitches, come down and follow me, or I will burn this place down."
Xu Miaoqing immediately walked out of the hotel with two personal guards.
"Hey, there are helpers, why are you so arrogant? It seems that you are not locals?"
Young Master Huang looked at the two soldiers beside Xu Miaoqing, and could only feel that the other party was extremely fierce, but he did not know that the other party was a fierce soldier who had been on the battlefield.
"My king...this girl wanted to let you go, but now you have come to your door yourself. Then you can't blame me. Give me a beating."
Xu Miaoqing almost revealed her identity, but luckily she changed her tune mid-sentence.
There were obviously dozens of people on the other side, and they all had weapons in their hands, but Xu Miaoqing let the two soldiers take the initiative to attack, which made Master Huang a little dumbfounded.
But before he could give the order, the two soldiers rushed into the crowd on his side like a tiger rushing into a flock of sheep.
Master Huang's expression finally changed from confusion to shock.
If he doesn't decisively cut off the stick of incense, there will be no one left standing besides him.
"You, who are you?"
Young Master Huang asked tremblingly, his buttocks trembling.
"Huh, are you scared now that you think about it? It's too late."
Xu Miaoqing walked over, picked up a wooden board and patted it over.
Half of Master Huang's face swelled into a pig's head, and he flew two meters away and fell to the ground.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from the corner of the street.
It was actually a group of government servants and officers and soldiers.
Young Master Huang was already scared to death, but now he got up immediately when he saw these people.
"Come and save me quickly. There are gangsters committing murder on the street. Catch them all."
There was an expression of relief on his face.
These government officials often interacted with him on weekdays.
"Stinky girl, you are dead. I will make you look good tonight."
This young master Huang has not forgotten his evil thoughts towards Xu Miaoqing.
But at this moment, the fastest walking officer came over and gave him a slap in the face.
"A bold maniac, how dare you be rude to the princess?"
