After taking in the surrounding scenery, Dong Cheng couldn't help laughing and said: "Today is the Double Ninth Festival. The sky is high and the air is clear and the wind is sunny. It is indeed a perfect time to go hiking!"

Li Linzhou, all the officials in the Yamen, and many wealthy households in the city all spoke in agreement.

The scene was very lively and it felt like being in a busy city.

"Prince Poyang...the prince is here..."

"Mr. Yang Tingyu Yang..."

"Your Majesty and the Disposer are here too!"

…

While Zhu Xiuyuan and everyone else were intoxicated by the magnificent scenery of the mountains and forests, they suddenly heard a noise coming from somewhere.

Dong Cheng, Zhu Xiuyuan, Liu Wencai, and other officials from the yamen, etc., all looked towards the commotion.

Zhu Xiuyuan took a closer look and saw that the two people appearing in the distance... were indeed King Poyang and Yang Tingyu!

"My father-in-law, you are really the prince and the commander-in-chief!" Zhu Xiuyuan shouted to Dong Cheng.

Dong Cheng looked at it for a while, then said to Zhu Xiuyuan and the officials of the Yamen respectively: "Xianxiang, colleagues, the prince and the envoy have arrived, I will go and see you!"

After Dong Cheng finished speaking, he should go in that direction first.

Zhu Xiuyuan, Li Linzhou, and other officials from the Yamen followed suit.

Liu Wencai was shaking his head while reciting poems. His head was almost dizzy, but fortunately, he was not so dizzy yet. He immediately left many scholars who were complimenting him and followed him: "Brother Zhu, wait for me..."

The sudden appearance of the two powerful figures, King Poyang and Yang Tingyu, was like throwing a handful of bait into a koi pond. Everyone on the mountain was excited, and the people who came to see him were like crucian carps crossing the river.

Therefore, King Poyang and Yang Tingyu stayed where they were and did not move.

When he was young, Dong Cheng led a large group of people and rushed over. They pointed at the two big men and bowed their hands before bowing.

"Haha, okay, no need to be so polite. Get up quickly. I and the prince are here just like you to climb high and see the distance. Haha, there is no need to be so polite!" Yang Tingyu seemed very happy, he laughed, and held hands with his hands.

help.

King Poyang and Yang Tingyu stood side by side. He did not speak, but judging from his face, King Poyang should be in a particularly comfortable mood.

After Li Linzhou and others paid their respects to King Poyang and Yang Tingyu, they all returned to their original places. Only Dong Cheng, Zhu Xiuyuan, and Liu Wencai stayed alone.

"Haha, when I was supervising the disaster relief in Ezhou, I heard about the Xue family's major rebellion! Yes, Governor Dong, Zhu Sima, and nephew Liu Xian, you have all done a good job and cut off this for our Jiangnan West Road.

Waiting for the rebels is really a great achievement!" Yang Tingyu said with a smile.

Dong Cheng and the other three were naturally humble and did not dare to take credit.

After Yang Tingyu praised the three of them, he asked Dong Cheng and Liu Wencai to leave first, leaving Zhu Xiuyuan alone.

"Zhu Sima, come and come closer to talk!" Yang Tingyu waved.

Zhu Xiuyuan approached as instructed.

Yang Tingyu reached out and patted a place beside him, where a straw mat was spread and a futon was placed. Yang Tingyu smiled and said: "I wish Sima, sit down and talk."

"Your Excellency, I have disgraced my subordinates. I have a humble official position, so how dare I sit with you and the prince in the same place!" Zhu Xiuyuan refused.

King Poyang smiled and said, "Hey, Sima, you're welcome. Even if it's your personal order, there's nothing wrong with it. Come and sit down quickly. I and your Majesty have something to ask you."

After Zhu Xiuyuan heard this, he raised his hands and said, "I'm sorry, that official." Then he sat down cross-legged on the futon and asked, "I wonder if the prince and your lord have anything to ask the official?"

"No rush." ​​Yang Tingyu was not in a hurry. He personally picked up a teapot, took out a new teacup, poured a cup of hot tea into it, handed it to Zhu Xiuyuan with his own hand, and said with a smile: "Here, let's have a sip of tea first.

!”

"This..." Zhu Xiuyuan was extremely surprised and did not dare to reach out to pick it up because this thing was too weird!

Who is Yang Tingyu? He is the investigation and disposal envoy of Jiangnan West Road!

In other words, he is the local emperor of Jiangnan West Road, and even the governor of a state can be appointed and dismissed at will!

Yang Tingyu was so powerful, but he first asked Zhu Xiuyuan to sit with him, and then poured tea himself... This was so unusual!

"...My lord, my lord has really disgraced this official..." Zhu Xiuyuan felt uneasy and did not dare to take the cup of tea.

King Poyang smiled again and said: "I wish you Sima, I have never drunk the tea that my lord poured in person. Why are you hesitating? This lord expresses his love and respect for you. Do you want lord

Are you still holding the teacup? Hurry up and take it!"

Yang Tingyu also smiled and said: "Zhu Sima, could it be that the tea that passed through my hands was poisoned?"

Zhu Xiu saw this and had no choice but to take the tea cup with both hands, take a sip, and praise: "Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. The tea that passed through your hands is no longer poison, it is clearly a rare good tea in the world!"

Yang Tingyu pretended to be angry and cursed: "Little slippery man, I thought you were an upright person, but I didn't expect that you are also slippery and flattering!"

Zhu Xiuyuan smiled awkwardly.

King Poyang stretched out his hand: "Hey, sir, you can't say that. Even I, the king, have never enjoyed the tea that your Excellency poured with your own hands. Haha, as the saying goes, rare things are valuable. I think Zhu Sima's words are true.

, the tea that passed through the hands of the adults is indeed a rare and good tea in the world! Haha!"

Yang Tingyu: "..."

Zhu Xiuyuan sat on the futon and silently watched the two big guys chatting and joking without saying a word.

…

Two quarters of an hour later.

"Your Excellency, Your Majesty, I will resign first." Zhu Xiuyuan got up from the futon and saluted the two bosses respectively.

"Well, let's go!" Yang Tingyu showed a hint of joy and waved his hand casually as a response. Then he stared at the tea cup in his hand, lost in thought, completely forgetting himself, and entered a state of deep thinking.

"Today is the Double Ninth Festival, and everyone is celebrating it. You are a young man, and you are at the age of fun and fun. Take advantage of this great time to have fun! Haha."

King Poyang's smile is like molten iron or carved from a steel plate, very hard.

Thinking back to the fact that King Poyang was the general guarding the Jiangzhou camp, guarding the territory of one lake and three states, he was very strict in running the army, and would chop off people's heads at every turn, so he was always known as the "King of Hell".

And he himself is a warrior, strong and resolute, unsmiling, and usually very serious.

Zhu Xiu saw this and said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your teaching!"

"Well, let's go!" King Poyang also waved his hand and looked back at Zhu Xiuyuan.

Zhu Xiuyuan cupped his hands and slowly took two steps back, then turned around and stepped on the green meadow back to the original hilltop.

As we approached, Dong Cheng was already waiting here.
