The sister and brother-in-law were warmly treated by the owner. When they were having fun in the inner hall and the lobby, the poor prince Zhu Cilang sat on the open-air dining table in the courtyard outside, and the same group of rough people sat together.

"This little brother is so young, with tender skin and a kind of luxurious spirit. Why are he sitting at the same table with me and other vulgar martial artists?" Hao Shangjiu, who was thick and thin, could see at a glance that Zhu Cilang, who was sitting at the same table with him, had an extraordinary temperament. He saw that he was tender skin and tender skin and very handsome, so he stretched out his hand to put it on his shoulder.

Zhu Cixuan was very uncomfortable with this obviously good behavior, so he twisted his body to avoid Hao Shangjiu's claws.

Hao Shangjiu also felt that his movements were a bit out of control. After all, the other party was a Jinyiwei at a young age, and he obviously had a noble temperament. I am afraid that the young master of a high-ranking official, thinking of this, he withdrew his hand and laughed and picked up the wine glass: "This little brother, old brother, I'll give you a glass, brother to do it first!"

Although many men were as fond of Long Yang back then, Zhu Cilang had red lips and white teeth, and beautiful eyebrows and eyes, because of the identity of the Jinyiwei, those vulgar martial artists did not dare to have any thoughts about him.

After three rounds of wine, the dishes and five flavors, Zhao Peng said goodbye to Li Chengdong. He and Princess Kunxing did not choose to live in the residence arranged by Li Chengdong for them in Xuzhou City, but returned to their own military camp outside the city. As they were about to say goodbye, Zhao Peng left only one sentence for Li Chengdong: "General Li, if Jiannu goes south in the future, please ask General Li to fight to the death! If you surrender without fighting, don't blame your son-in-law for being ruthless!"

Li Chengdong quickly stood up and saluted respectfully: "Please rest assured, my son-in-law! If Jiannu goes south, the last general will fight to the death!"

The next morning, guided by the salt merchant Jiang Guomao, Zhao Peng took his two thousand new army and four thousand infantry soldiers from Xuzhou to the bank of the canal. When he arrived at the river, the Jiang family fleet had been waiting on the canal for a long time.

After boarding the canal, Zhao Peng, Princess Kunxing, Jinyiwei and infantry took the boat to the south. The fleet passed Suqian and Sizhou, and arrived in Huai'an to stop.

When Princess Kunxing was hanging from the fleet, it was more than ten miles away from Huai'an, someone had already reported to Lu Zhenfei, the governor of the canal transport. Lu Zhenfei was the right assistant censor at the time, and was the governor of the canal transport and the governor of Huaiyang. Lu Zhenfei's military generals were the general of the river. Jin Shenghuan, the general of the river channel. Because Liu Zeqing and Gao Jie abandoned the north and headed south, the military discipline of Liu Zeqing and Gao Jie was corrupt. Lu Zhenfei asked a large number of troops to train the village soldiers, nominally to prevent the rebellion and the southward, but in fact, to guard against the bandits such as Liu Zeqing and Gao Jie.

"The general system of the road, there is a fleet in the north with the banner of His Royal Highness His Royal Highness, ten miles away from Huai'an, and another half an hour will be available to Huai'an." A canal transport force reported to Lu Zhenfei.

"Your Highness Princess? Who is the princess?" Lu Zhenfei asked.

"The general system of Hui is the banner of Princess Kunxing. There are more than 100 ships, thousands of troops, and more than 2,000 Jinyiwei." The man replied.

Lu Zhenfei quickly stood up: "Tell me the order, and order the patrol general Huchen (Jin Shenghuan) to welcome His Highness the Princess immediately! And organize Huai'an gentry, soldiers and civilians to welcome him!"

"No!" The man took the order and retreated.

The fleet was approaching Huai'an, and there was a prosperous scene on both sides of the canal. It was still ten miles away from Huai'an City, and you could already see the lively markets on both sides, the housing of ship workers and the shipyards scattered with shipyards. According to the standards of later generations, this was the suburb of a metropolis. At that time, Huai'an was a metropolis on the canal, as famous as Yangzhou, and more prosperous than many provincial capitals. Huai'an had many salt merchants, north-south canal transportation and salt industry, which flourished this city. Huai'an's prosperity continued until the late Qing Dynasty. It was not until the Jinpu Railway was opened to traffic that there were fewer ships on the canal and the railway line did not pass through Huai'an, and the city began to decline.

The closer you are to Huai'an, the more prosperous the scenery along the way.

"Look, the princess flag!"

"It's the banner of Princess Kunxing, this is my Princess Daming!"

"There is also the prince consort. I heard that the prince consort is the Jinyiwei."

"There are so many Jinyiwei on the ship!"

The people on the shore found that the fleet was flying the banner of Princess Kunxing, and stopped one after another, standing on the river bank to look out.

A three-story boat sailed over the river. Princess Kunxing, dressed in a gorgeous palace outfit and wearing a phoenix crown, stood in front of the third floor, looking down at the people on both sides of the shore. Behind her, the palace maid Fei Zhen'e and the maids recruited on the road were standing. A large number of Jinyiwei were standing in line on the boat. People on the shore looked over from a distance, and Princess Kunxing's big boat revealed a sense of majesty.

When the fleet arrived in Huai'an, he saw the crowd greeting on the shore from afar. Zhao Peng turned to ask Gao Wencai: "Brother, who is here to welcome me?"

Gao Wencai replied: "The right assistant censor, governor of the grain transportation, governor of Huaiyang Lu Zhenfei, whose courtesy name is Jianbai."

Lu Zhenfei, this name seems familiar. Zhao Peng silently remembered the name in his heart. He pointed to the shore and said, "Since the Lu General System welcomes us, it is not easy for us to give him a shit. Let's go on and stop the boat and dock!"

Gao Wencai smiled and said, "What are you giving us face? General Lu gives His Highness the face of His Highness. We vulgar martial artists just benefit from His Highness the Princess."

The fleet stopped at the Huai'an Wharf, and teams of ordinary infantry disembarked first, followed by the Jinyiwei in an orderly formation, and walked off the boat one by one, lined up on both sides of the shore. Behind were Zhao Peng and Gao Wencai disembarked, and finally Princess Kunxing, surrounded by palace maids and Jinyiwei, walked off the boat and walked towards the crowd that greeted her.

"I am Lu Zhenfei, please see Your Highness the Princess!" Lu Zhenfei walked forward, bowed to the ground, and bowed.

"I am Jin Shenghuan, please see Your Highness the Princess!" Jin Shenghuan, the general of the river guard, also stepped forward to salute.

"Everyone is exempted from gifts." Princess Kunxing raised her hand and signaled everyone to exempt from gifts.

Zhao Peng also walked up and bowed to Lu Zhenfei: "The prince-in-law Zhao Peng met Lu General!"

Lu Zhenfei also lowered his head slightly and bowed his hand to return the favor: "I have met the prince-in-law."

Instead, Jin Shenghuan stepped forward and knelt on one knee to give a big gift to Zhao Peng: "I will meet the prince-consort and the commander-in-law!"

The Ming Dynasty was noble and noble in the military, and Zhao Peng was only a military position. Although he was the Jinyiwei and the son-in-law Duwei, Lu Zhenfei, as a civil servant, never gave a tribute to an Jinyiwei. Jin Shenghuan was also a military position. Although he was the general, he naturally showed great respect to Zhao Peng, the son-in-law Duwei.

Seeing Lu Zhenfei's attitude towards him, Zhao Peng thought to himself: It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must show up, otherwise, he would not be able to suppress these civil officials at all. The title of the princess is absolutely impossible to suppress these civil officials. Men of the Ming Dynasty are superior to women. Even if they are royal princesses, civil officials will be respectful on the surface when they see the princess, but in fact they will not take the princess seriously in their hearts. The status of ordinary military generals is even lower. Second-rank military generals have to pay tribute to the fourth-rank civil officials. Even if the seventh-rank county magistrate meets the second-rank military general, they are just on equal terms.

Although the status of the Jinyiwei is a little higher than that of the military generals, the status of the Jinyiwei was given by the emperor. However, the Jinyiwei from the north, such as Zhao Peng and Gao Wencai, are nothing in front of civil servants. Emperor Chongzhen has passed away. Can the Jinyiwei from the north still intimidate the civil servants in the south? Lu Zhenfei only returned the favor to Zhao Peng out of politeness.

However, these civil servants respect Princess Kunxing quite a bit, and at least they have done a good job of superficial face.

After entering Lu Zhenfei's mansion, Princess Kunxing let Lu Zhenfei go away and waited for the idle people. Then she spoke to Lu Zhenfei: "Lu General System, this time, my palace went south, not alone, but the prince's brother has also come. It's just that there are many people and eyes, so the prince's brother disguised as an Jinyiwei and was among the guards outside. I let the prince's brother come in."
