The performance of the troupe was highly praised by Zhu Houzhao.

After Zhu Houzhao arrived in Xuanfu City, he was full of anticipation and fun things. However, Qian Ning and Zhang Yuan arrested some folk women from the people, and their sex skills were not good. Zhu Houzhao was very disappointed.

However, as Xiao Taozi and Lifei sent Jiang Bin's carefully trained opera troupe to Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Houzhao immediately felt that this trip to Xuanfu was not in vain. The troupe was all women, although their appearance was not excellent, but each was very charming. In addition to their good singing skills, Zhu Houzhao could not only enjoy beautiful performances, but also be blessed with these actors in the future, which was a hit of multiple goals.

We were waiting for Zhu Hou to finish watching the show, but it was already midnight. Li Fei and Xiao Jiezi were waiting in the flower hall.

"very good."

When Zhu Houzhao saw the two of them, her eyes full of expectations, "Pret Li said she had fun for me before, but I thought she was fooling people. Now it seems that Poet Li did not disappoint my expectations."

Concubine Li smiled and said, "It is my greatest honor to be able to relieve your worries and fatigue for Your Majesty."

Zhu Houzhao nodded with satisfaction, sat down and looked at Xiao Tiaozi, and said, "Xiao Tiaozi, you are safe in your work, I have a lot of rewards. Oh, by the way, don't send this troupe away for the time being, I'm not satisfied yet."

Concubine Li walked over affectionately, sat slowly on Zhu Houzhao's legs, snuggled her head on the thin shoulders of the man beneath her, and smiled:

"Your Majesty, I have already discussed with Eunuch Tiao. I will find more women to send to Your Majesty in Xuanfu. This is only the first batch, and there are still many behind it."

"Then the relationship is good, don't let me wait for a long time."

Zhu Houzhao looked a little unwilling and said, "Concubine Li, I remember that there are still a few singers who haven't heard them sing the song. I'll go in and take a look first... It's getting late, so you can rest early. Come and set off!"

Zhu Houzhao was not very interested in Concubine Li at this time. Seeing Concubine Li leaning up like this, her hot body kept twisting in his arms. She was embarrassed to scold her directly, so she simply found an excuse to leave.

Even if Concubine Li was unhappy, she could only pinch her nose and accept it. She knew how lucky the emperor was. It was not easy to be able to get to this point now, and she dared not have more extravagant desires.

After Zhu Houzhao entered the inner courtyard, Concubine Li's face showed an unhappy look.

Xiao Zhuozi asked in confusion: "Empress Li, Your Majesty is very satisfied with the beauty you presented. Why are you unhappy?"

Concubine Li forced her smile and said, "Are you unhappy in this palace? Twist my father-in-law, don't say anything randomly."

Xiao Taozi smiled and said, "Actually, I understand many principles, thanks to the Queen Li's tips today, otherwise how could I get such a chance to get His Majesty so praised?"

"I will have to trouble myself in the future."

Concubine Li politely bowed to Xiao Tiaozi.

Xiao Guozi hurriedly said, "It's not possible to use it, but I can't do it. Concubine Li really ruined my slave. It should be because I thanked the empress for giving me some advice... The empress could have found someone by herself, but she tried her best to notify me so that I could get a piece of the pie from it. I naturally knew what to do to repay the empress."

Concubine Li smiled. She naturally had someone under her. Liao Han accompanied her to Xuanfu. Jiang Bin's line was discovered by Liao Han's people staring at Zhang Yuan's aide Zang Xian.

Concubine Li thought to herself: "It's always necessary to give you some benefits, otherwise how could you do your best to do your best to do your business for me? And if you push you out, you can stand on the front line against Zhang Yuan and Qian Ning... Whether it's Liu Jin or Zhang Yuan in power, you can be ashamed. It seems that Your Majesty still trusts you very much."

Concubine Li said, "Where is Lord Jiang? It's time to meet him and explain some words to him clearly. In this way, he can help you with your whole heart."

Xiao Tiaozi slapped his forehead: "Oh, why did you forget him? I guess he is still waiting outside now, so the villain will call the person in and meet the Empress!"

Concubine Li shook her head: "I am receiving outsiders in the palace. She is still a brave warrior. If it is spread, there will inevitably be someone who says something strange... Let's twist my father-in-law to see you, just let him know who he is doing for."

...

...

Xiao Twist leaves the flower hall and feels happy.

"Hey, Concubine Li is capable. Even a person like Jiang Bin who is hidden in the dark can discover it. No wonder His Majesty is very fond of her... It seems that I have to rely on her to flatter His Majesty in the future. This is a good thing that can benefit from the two rivals of Zhang Yuan, Qian Ning, or Dai Yi and Gao Feng?"

With beautiful expectations for the future, Xiao Tuozi went out to meet Jiang Bin, who had been sitting in front of the northeast gate of the palace, who had been waiting anxiously.

"Twist my father-in-law!"

When Jiang Bin saw Xiao Twist come out, he seemed to see his reborn parents. After coming over, he knelt on the ground with a "thump" sound, wanting to kowtow to Xiao Twist.

Xiao Zhuozi asked in surprise: "What is Lord Jiang doing? Our family is not here to bear such a great gift from you, I really can't afford it!"

Compared to the humble voice she had when she spoke to Concubine Li before, even though Xiao Guozi was speaking politely, his tone did not soften, with a kind of pride that was high above.

He used to ask someone to do things and was quite polite to Jiang Bin. Now that things are done, Zhu Houzhao admires them very much, which means that Jiang Bin is a great use. In this way, Xiao Tiaozi felt that he was here to reward Jiang Bin, so he naturally acted like a boss.

Xiao Taozi didn't want Jiang Bin, a capable person, to be bought by Zhang Yuan or Qian Ning. Even Li Fei couldn't do it. He planned to take Jiang Bin under his command and help him come to find a woman to please Zhu Houzhao in the future.

Jiang Bin said: "Dadfather-in-law, you are the living Bodhisattva in the villain's mind. You can take time to meet him in your busy schedule. It is natural for the villain to kowtow to you."

"Get up."

Xiao Tiaozi said, "Go in and talk to our family."

Because there are guards on duty at the entrance of the palace, there are probably Qian Ning or Zhang Yuan's eyeliners, so even if you have something to say, Xiao Guozi can only take Jiang Bin to a relatively safe place in the palace before talking about it.

When Jiang Bin heard that he had the opportunity to enter the palace, he thought he was going to meet the saint. He was very excited and said, "Don't you let the villain go back and clean up first? If you go in like this, you will be abrupt...Neither."

"fine."

Xiao Tiaozi said casually and walked into the door without turning his head.

Because there was a favored eunuch in front of the emperor and the eunuch who was favored in front of him, Jiang Bin did not stop him. He followed Xiao Tuozi into the palace, walked for a while, and entered the yard. Jiang Bin couldn't help but look around, because the night was dark and he couldn't see clearly, but he probably judged that this place was not the place where the emperor stayed because the surroundings were too deserted.

Xiao Tuozi led Jiang Bin into a quiet room. The eunuch immediately came over to light the candlestick. Then Xiao Tuozi sat down and said to Jiang Bin: "Mr. Jiang, your Majesty has received the wish you gave to Your Majesty."

"ah!?"

Jiang Bin asked happily, "Why don't your Majesty have any opinions?"

"I have no objection, and I keep praising you for being filial. Maybe one day I will give you an exception... You have to remember who this is the credit."

Xiao Guozi originally wanted to mention Concubine Li's name, but thought that doing so might make Jiang Bin care about Concubine Li and turn to Concubine Li, so he simply attributed the credit to himself.

It is one thing to be polite in front of Concubine Li, but it is another thing to come out to see Jiang Bin.

Jiang Bin smiled and said, "Of course, the villain remembers to train his father-in-law. After the villain returns, he will give his father-in-law a generous gift!"

Xiao Tiaozi waved his hand: "There is no need for a generous gift. Our family will follow His Majesty, and the money is like a cloud, dispensable... And with your official position, it is not easy to make a little money. Without spending money, our family can give you money... As long as you do your business for our family, you can."

"this……"

Jiang Bin hesitated, afraid that Xiao Tiaozi would be talking nonsense.

Xiao Zhuozi took out a few pieces of Daming treasure money from his arms and said, "Take, take this money..."

When Jiang Bin took it tremblingly, Xiao Taozi continued, "Our family has been working in front of His Majesty, and there is no one around him who can help. I think that Eunuch Zhang can find someone to do anything at will, but what about our family? There is also Qian Ning, the commander of the Jinyiwei, who was just a hundred households in the Jinyiwei, and nothing was wrong. Our family would introduce him to His Majesty..."

When Jiang Bin heard this, he felt a little dissatisfied.

Jiang Bin knew Qian Ning's history of making a fortune. It was inspired by that master that he took great pains to prepare, so that he could one day get close to the emperor and get on the throne smoothly. According to information from all aspects, Qian Ning took Liu Jin's channel to reach the high position today, but Xiao Guozi said that he introduced it, which was suspected of boasting.

Jiang Bin was skeptical, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. He honestly said: "My father-in-law worked hard and made great contributions. He worked hard to serve His Majesty. You might as well leave these trivial matters to villains. How dare you work on your big driver?"

Xiao Guozi looked up at Jiang Bin, with a very friendly smile on his face, his eyes full of praise, and said, "Are you really willing to help our family?"

Jiang Bin knelt down again and kowtowed: "To express his feelings, today I will recognize my father-in-law as my foster father. If the foster father is the heaven, the villain will definitely not make any mistakes in doing things, otherwise the heaven will thunder! "

Xiao Zhuozi smiled from ear to ear: "Our family may not be as old as Lord Jiang. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to Mr. Jiang recognize our family as his father like this?"

"Suitable, suitable, you are the villain's father. A villain's filial piety to you is like a filial piety to your own dwelling. You will never dare to violate it." Jiang Bin said repeatedly.

Xiao Tiaozi nodded: "Okay, you can do your business for our family in the future!"

"Thank you, thank you, thank you."

Jiang Bin was very excited. If he had been worried about Xiao Tiaozi before, afraid that Xiao Tiaozi would be a liar, or wanted to use him for nothing but not give benefits, now he would recognize Xiao Tiaozi as his father, and he would feel much more at ease, because it is very common for eunuchs to accept godsons in this era, and only eunuchs like to accept godsons, because eunuchs cannot have descendants but hope that someone will take care of their elders and see them off.

If you don’t take advantage of your status and status, you will be too late to regret it when you lose power when you are old.

However, nine out of ten eunuchs' godsons came for profit, saying that they were retired and sent to the end. This was based on the fact that eunuchs had a long-lasting family, and had always occupied a high position, or had surrendered official titles.

For example, Qian Ning was the adopted son of the eunuch who came through this path.

Xiao Tiaozi said: "Since you promised to do your job for our family, you must do your best... Our family will also move and promote you to a higher position so that you can better serve our family!"

"The adoptive father gave me instructions that the child will definitely do it... The child will go back now, find new and interesting things, and send them to the palace together, so that His Majesty can enjoy it!" Jiang Bin.

Xiao Guozi shook his head slightly: "It's not that I'll go back and look for it now, but that I'll keep looking for it in the future. Are you the assistant commander of Weizhou Weizhou? We'll help you with activities to see if you can give you a commander. If you make contributions to this battle, our family will submit a letter to His Majesty and let you be a commander of the guard, or simply transfer you to the capital to be an imperial envoy!"

Jiang Bin knelt down and said respectfully: "The adoptive father has his life, no child dares not to obey!"

...

...

Jiang Bin, who had once had such great ups and downs in history, actually defected to Xiao Tuozi. No one knows what kind of changes his life will take.

History has changed after Shen Xi appeared, and many things have had major deviations from the direction of history. As for what will happen in the future, even Shen Xi, who is familiar with the changes in the Zhengde Dynasty, could not predict it. He could only look at the world with an indigenous gaze.

Zhu Houzhao lived a life of drunkenness and desolation in Xuanfu Palace, as if she had forgotten what she was doing to leave the capital.

Shen Xi, who was in Datong, dared not slacken any slackness. He was busy organizing people to build weapons he designed, supervising military training, etc., and preparing for war was carried out in an orderly manner.

It was mid-April in a blink of an eye.

On April 16th, just after Shen Shi in the afternoon, after two months of difficult journey, Xie Qian finally arrived at Yulin Cangcheng. At this moment, his old bones were almost disbanded. Looking at the towering city gate in the distance, he was already full of tears.

"...Master, we're finally here." The old slave of Xie's family who was accompanying him was very surprised.

Xie Qian went from the capital to the three northwest borders. In addition to the necessary escorts, there were only a few servants following him. This was mainly because Xie Qian felt that the dignified chief minister was too embarrassing to guard the border and did not want to disturb too many people. He drove lightly and simply from Zhending to Guguan to enter the boundary of Shanxi, from Shouyang, Yangqu to Fenzhou, from Wubao to cross the Yellow River to enter Shaanxi, and then headed north, passing Suide and Mizhi to Yulin Cangcheng, which can be said to have gone through hardships.

Soon, the foreman of the entourage drawn from the Imperial Army, a general named Guo Li, came over and asked Xie Qian for advice: "Sir Xie, let's go to the city now?"

"Enter, go in quickly. It's getting dark. If you don't enter the city, it's too late!" Xie Qian was very anxious. During the last journey, he asked his subordinates to step up. After about half an hour later, the city gate would be closed. At that time, even if Xie Qian had a pass certificate, he might not be allowed to enter the city, so he began to urge him loudly.

Unfortunately, the speed was still not raised, and the people were still swaying towards the city gate. As the war approached, the surrounding area of ​​Yulin Cangcheng was under martial law, and the procedures for entering the city were very complicated, resulting in severe congestion at the city gate.

Unlike Shen Xi who came to Datong Town to welcome the people, Xie Qian's arrival was extremely low-key, and no one even knew that he was coming. Xie Qian completed the customs clearance procedures in a state of exhaustion. The city gate guard seemed to have no idea who he was, and he didn't even come over to say hello.
To be continued...
