"You are really a beast in clothes..." Bai Fengjiao was wrapped in a quilt and cursed feebly. A look of pain appeared on her angry face, "It hurts so much. It's so painful that I can't bear it now."
Her hair was messy, her face was pale and stained with tears, and she looked miserable, as if she had been insulted by someone rather than willingly. After resting for a while, she saw that Zhang Ning was speechless, so she asked
: "Are you all so bad? Why are the books written so righteously?"
Zhang Ning said: "You used that secret medicine yourself, I was just cooperating with you. By the way, this is the first time I have seen such a mysterious thing in the world."
"But you can't take advantage of others' danger!" Bai Fengjiao said on the verge of tears, "Why do you want to take advantage of others' discomfort and coerce me into doing such shameful...disgusting things?"
He couldn't explain it. Looking back, he just saw that she couldn't help herself. She couldn't help but do that, as if it were a natural rule. Maybe doing something that she usually wouldn't dare to imagine at some point was a way of expression, and it was also
It's a release of emotions.
Compared with Bai Fengjiao's current humiliation, Zhang Ning couldn't help but secretly rejoice, just like a playful person discovering a very fun game. The psychological satisfaction afterwards, the sense of relief from stress, and the refreshing feeling are simply indescribable.

…
In the Duke's Mansion of Guizhou, Yunnan, Mu Sheng, who is in his sixties, is also playing with women, and is chatting with Zheng Qia, who has just arrived. A group of girls are singing and dancing in front of him, dressed in all kinds of strange clothes. They are all beautiful girls selected from various local ethnic groups.
, and even women who came all the way from Jiaozhi and Champa. Wearing only their underwear, amid the sound of drums, they got close to the master and distinguished guests, twisted their waists, swung their bodies, and showed off their most tempting parts for a few old people.
Guys appreciate it.
In the grand hall, some women only wore bellybands, some had only a cloth scarf on their chests, and some wore very short skirts. Not to mention their bare legs were exposed. If they moved a little too much, even the private parts of the shameful people in the group were looming.
The scene is extremely wild and obscene.
There are also some strong men in cloth robes standing by the wall. These people are dressed like literati, but when you look at the round-waisted and thick-shouldered figures, they are guards. Some of them have beards on their faces. Others have low eyebrows.
Standing with eyes downcast.
"If an old friend likes someone, ask her to sleep with her, or send them all to your room." Mu Sheng laughed.
Zheng Qia's expression did not change. He did not pretend to be a noble gentleman, and even admired the beautiful women with great interest. This is probably one of Zheng Qia's abilities that Jianwen admired. He is a gentleman, but he can be with all kinds of people.
Work together and never make your allies lose face.
Zheng Qia also thought about the intention of the Duke of Guizhou in entertaining him so "kindly", but he still felt that he was more kind than making things difficult. He had never encountered a beauty to make things difficult for a guest. Today's entertainment did not invite local officials and celebrities from Yunnan
Squires are all members of the family, so they don't have to pretend. However, Zheng Qia still cares about his own image. Even in front of these unidentified servants around him, he is not willing to be different from what he looks like... Only these beautiful girls are indeed
It's tempting, he can't deceive himself, men inevitably like beauty. But he has a good concentration, and he won't be happy to see a group of beauties.
"My little brother appreciates the kindness of Duke Qian." Zheng Qia said calmly and slowly. He called himself his younger brother, which is closer to a martial artist. He called him Mu Sheng Duke of Guizhou instead of Ping Xihou, which also acknowledged Emperor Yongle's love for him.
Enfeoffment; because in terms of legality, Jianwen does not recognize the title of "King of Yan". He expressed recognition of the dukedom of Qian in words, and also hinted that he did not care about Mu Sheng's devotion to the emperors of the Yan line over the years.
.
Zheng Qia paused and said, "But I am getting a little older, so I am really full of ambition but not strong enough."
After hearing this, Mu Sheng looked at each other and laughed with the two accompanying staff, and said with a smile: "I am nearly seventy years old. I can eat a chicken and three bowls of rice in one meal, drink a dou of wine, and spend the night with three women. Mr. Zheng is not
When you reach fifty? Then you have more than enough ambition but not enough energy?"
Zheng Qiadao: "The Duke of our country is a very honest man today, how dare I compare with you!"
The staff member next to him reminded: "The Duke also has a handsome young man here. Is Mr. Zheng interested in taking a look?"
Zheng Qia was suddenly stunned.
Another staff member's face turned red from holding back. Zheng Qia hurriedly explained: "Sir, you should know that the rumors that civil servants are as good as Long Yang are exaggerated. It's just that officials have been strictly prohibited from promiscuity since Taizu, and many officials in Beijing have no family members in Beijing.
I don't dare to violate the law and look for flowers and willows, so I look for that young man to be my lover. I have not been in Beijing for many years, so I have no such hobby."
After saying that, he looked at Mu Sheng, and the two looked at each other and smiled obscenely.
Mu Sheng turned around and scolded: "You talk nonsense and you will be punished with three glasses of wine."
"Yes, yes." The staff did not refuse, first poured three glasses of wine and apologized, and then poured wine for Zheng Qia.
After the banquet, Mu Sheng saw that Zheng Qia had no intention of choosing a beautiful woman to have sex with, and did not insist on it, so he ordered people to remove the food and wine, broke up the singing and dancing of the girls, and invited Zheng Qia to visit the courtyard of the mansion.
This place is like spring all year round, even though it is the twelfth lunar month of winter, but you don't feel the chill of the Central Plains at all. The mountains and clear waters in the courtyard are beautiful and the scenery is beautiful. Zheng Qia's words were quite envious, but they were not all polite words. He thought about those days when "
After the Battle of Jingnan, a large number of officials were replaced from the central to the local government, but the Duke of Guizhou still enjoyed high status and wealth. Although he lived in a borderland all his life, there was nothing wrong with the pleasant climate, prosperity, and wealth.
Emperor Jianwen's autographed letter has been given to Mu Sheng, but Zheng Qia fully knows the content because he wrote the content, and Emperor Jianwen only copied it.
The letter did not ask Mu Sheng to immediately change his banner and declare his position to the world. It just renewed the old friendship and told him to send his "old friend" Zheng Qia to visit Mu Sheng... Now it seems that Zheng Qia feels that his approach is completely correct.
Yes, the Mu family is living a good life here, so asking him to break with the imperial court is indeed a bit unreasonable and unkind.
Because Mu Sheng was not Fang Xiaoru, otherwise he would not have been promoted to a noble title after Yongle came to power. However, he was not a good person. The sky is high here and the emperor is far away. He holds military power and has high prestige in the local area. Ai and Jianwen's flirtation will disappear for a while.
What can people do to him?
After walking on the stone bridge path for a while, the staff and entourage saw that the smile on the master's face gradually faded, so they followed him at a distance without disturbing them.
Showing goodwill to Mu Sheng and wooing the Yunnan warlords were not just for copper. Zheng Qia thought in his mind that at that time, the imperial court mobilized troops from Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi to attack Jiaozhi, and fought many big battles one after another. The generals in the southwest fought side by side with each other.
In order to support the situation, there is always some friendship. In the future, the Northern Dynasty will have no choice but to mobilize the southwestern military service king. With Mu Sheng in the middle and Xini, I am afraid that the Northern Dynasty will not be able to mobilize it so smoothly.
At this time, Zheng Qia said: "The emperor wants to urgently need 130,000 kilograms of Yunnan's finest copper. The Duke can leave this matter to the smuggling "merchants". If you can help this time,
Both the Emperor and King Xiang will remember this favor."
Speaking of favors, Jianwen helped mediate the relationship between Mu Sheng and the local vassal king back then. It seems that Mu Sheng has not repaid this favor. However, Zheng Qia understands that he should be as humble as possible now... just like Mu Sheng later wanted to protect him kindly. Emperor Jianwen, who has become like a lost dog, also wants friendship. You can no longer ask him in a domineering manner.
"What does the emperor want with these coppers?" Mu Sheng asked. It was a joke at the wine table, but he was still a very calm and experienced person.
"Build artillery." Zheng Qia said truthfully, "a new artillery. We defeated the Northern Army several times with the weak defeating the strong. The firearms played a great role."
"Oh..." Mu Sheng nodded with an expression of understanding. When his father Mu Ying entered Yunnan, large-scale rebellions broke out among the young people everywhere. They relied on firearms and three-stage attack tactics to gain an advantage on the frontal battlefield, so against He has a deep understanding of firearms and military affairs.
After a while, Mu Sheng said: "I dare not let the emperor remember the favor. The emperor is kind to his ministers."
These words immediately made Zheng Qia breathe a sigh of relief, and felt that the matter was almost settled. Thinking about it, even if Mu Sheng was not a loyal minister, but just a faggot, the advantages of betting on the Xiangwang Group at the critical moment outweighed the disadvantages. This matter It is feasible, and Zheng Qia is also thinking about making another contribution through this matter; the current contribution is to accumulate political capital in the future under the new political structure.
Zheng Qia was not satisfied with just getting copper materials from Mu Sheng, and tried again: "The copper has to be transported to Jiujiang, Jiangxi, and out of Yunnan. Should it go to Guizhou? Once we enter Huguang, we will have no worries. We have control there." It’s our territory, but Guizhou is not easy to navigate.”
Mu Sheng said: "Master Zheng, don't worry, there are brothers in the Guizhou Guard who have died."
"Then I'll be relieved, little brother." Zheng Qia suddenly said. He was indeed relieved. Sure enough, Duke Qian had connections in the Yungui Guards. Catching a Duke of Guizhou meant that he had connections with a large number of generals.
Zheng Qia said in a casual tone: "In addition to setting up defenses on the nine sides, the imperial military equipment also has defenses in Guizhou and Guangxi in the southwest. Among the generals at the border areas, there are actually brothers of the Duke of Guizhou who died. The civil and military layout of the imperial court is indeed a bit strange."
"This kind of thing didn't happen during the Yongle period." Mu Sheng looked over with a chuckle, "Emperor Xuande is too young after all. I will be wary of Yang Rong in court. He is a sensible person when it comes to matters concerning David. But in Xuande In the first year of the year, when Jiaozhili was gaining momentum, the imperial court hastily ordered me to go to war with Liu Sheng, the Marquis of Anyuan. However, Liu Sheng was defeated and died in the battle. As a result, the positions in the army were arranged in a chaotic manner, and Yang Rong was far away in the capital, and he had not yet figured out the situation clearly."
After hearing this, Zheng Qia suddenly said: "I just love Brother Mu's temperament and his cheerfulness."
The two laughed heartily again.
Mu Sheng added: "The matter that Brother Zheng mentioned just now is not a big deal. It's just 130,000 kilograms of copper. It's a trivial matter of pulling a few hundred mules. That's it. It's settled. I'm not here to show off. Zheng Brother, I will stay here for a while and supervise how things are done."
Zheng Qia hurriedly bowed and said, "Don't dare."
I don’t know if he didn’t dare to let Mu Sheng call Brother Zheng or if he didn’t dare to interfere in the matter.
