Daming: At the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang simulated the National Games

Sure enough, since ancient times, no matter what status, everyone loves to hear gossip.

After hearing this secret about the world, everyone seemed to be a little more energetic.

At this time, everyone also understood why Tu Dafu did not agree to hand over Yu Feipeng.

They can't afford to offend nobles from the capital, but they can't afford to offend Hidden Sword Villa either.

They are all people in the world, and they know exactly what tricks Hidden Sword Villa has.

Compared to the distant young prince of the imperial court, they know Hidden Sword Villa better.

So even a discerning person would know that the imperial court was obviously much stronger.

But they still don't want to offend Hidden Sword Villa.

This is one of the reasons why the imperial court does not want to see Jianghu forces.

The prestige of some major factions even surpassed that of the imperial court.

Whoever was in charge of the imperial court would not look kindly on these Jianghu people.

Just when everyone in the Black Tiger Gang was frowning and thinking of a way.

Zhu Gaoxu also walked out of the gate of Chihongtang headquarters.

At the door, Jin Yiwei was distributing porridge to the victims.

From time to time, you can see Jin Yiwei pulling some people in ragged clothes and saying something.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu smiled slightly, waved to Ada and walked towards the city gate.

Today, Mao Xiang finally arrived at Huangshan Town with his army, and he would have to greet them soon.

Moreover, Zhu Gaoxu asked Ah Si to go back to the capital before. Calculating the time, he should be back soon.

It's just time to welcome them together.

Taking Ada to the city gate, Niu Jiang was already waiting with a group of county-level officials at the entrance.

After Zhu Gaoxu arrived, a group of people followed him to salute.

Zhu Gaoxu just nodded and looked outside the city gate.

At this time, outside the city gate, Mao Xiang was riding at the front on his horse, followed by Ah Si and several royal guards.

As soon as they entered the city gate, several people dismounted in unison and walked towards Zhu Gaoxu from afar.

When they came closer, Mao Xiang and others knelt on one knee, clasped their fists and saluted, saying: "The end will come soon, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Looking at Mao Xiang, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Zhu Gaoxu looked very happy.

He opened his hands to help Mao Xiang up and said with a smile: "It's not easy for the army to march. How can I blame you? I changed the route temporarily. It's not your fault."

With that said, Zhu Gaoxu led Mao Xiang and others towards the headquarters of Chihongtang.

That is where he has settled.

Originally, Niu Jiang wanted to invite Zhu Gaoxu to live in the yamen, but Zhu Gaoxu later refused.

When everyone returned to the Chihongtang headquarters, this time only insiders were present.

Bai Xinghuo has disappeared, apparently thinking of countermeasures.

After everyone sat down and looked at Mao Xiang, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Zhu Gaoxu took the lead and said, "Brothers, you have worked hard along the way. Didn't anything go wrong on the way?"

Of course these are polite words, but they must be said.

Otherwise, it will appear that you don't pay attention to the soldiers below. Sometimes you have to do such small things.

Mao Xiang obviously knew what was going on.

He shook his head and said: "I will thank the prince for your concern on behalf of all the generals. The journey will be smooth and nothing will happen."

Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu nodded, and then finally got down to business.

"Now that the brothers have entered the city, it's time for the brothers to go out and practice their skills."

"It's a coincidence. Magistrate Niu just happened to find some officials from nearby here for me. He will be there this afternoon. Then we can talk about the banditry nearby and save us all a lot of work."

After hearing Zhu Gaoxu's words, Mao Xiang naturally had no objection and nodded without saying anything.

But Niu Jiang remembered this moment in his heart.

Afterwards, a few people chatted for a while, and Zhu Gaoxu ordered Mao Xiang to rectify the soldiers outside. After all, they had traveled a long distance and were about to go into battle again, so they had to prepare themselves no matter what.

This kind of thing must be taken seriously. Don't wait until you actually have diarrhea on the battlefield. It will be too late.

You know, before the war begins, he must go over and give the soldiers a few words to rectify their morale.

Seeing Mao Xiang and others coming, Niu Jiang also said goodbye and left with great discernment.

Only Ah Si was left standing aside.

Seeing everyone coming, Zhu Gaoxu waved and called Ah Si to his side.

"How's it going? Is everything done?"

"Reply to your Majesty, everything has been settled."

As he said this, Ah Si took out a wad of banknotes from his arms.

Zhu Gaoxu calmly took the banknote, which contained a total of 150,000 taels of silver!

In response, Zhu Gaoxu just smiled faintly, silently put away the banknote and asked: "Tell me about the situation in the capital... Well, let's start with my wine shop."

After hearing Zhu Gaoxu's words, Ah Si did not dare to be negligent, so he only told what he saw and heard.

"When I entered the capital, the first thing I did was to follow your instructions and go to the Immortal Brewing House. I saw a long queue at the gate of the Immortal Brewing House all the way."

"My subordinates knew about your property, Your Majesty, so they asked someone to inquire about it."

"It turns out that the Immortal Brewery opened on the day we left Beijing. Since its opening, it has been admired by many dignitaries, and they all lined up to buy wine."

"But Xian Brewery has set up a limited quantity. It is said that it is difficult to make this wine and the sales volume is limited every month."
