Chapter 100 Outside the Jinling City Gate (Part [-])
"It wasn't enough for them to cheat you once, and then they cheated you a second time, this time it was a bit bigger, you obviously came to kill me, but you don't know that there is a royal family member among us who is higher than Prince Xiang, He is the Emperor's Seventh Grandfather, and because of his old age and frailty, he was unable to ride horses with Lord Xiang, so he was placed with us. You said you were here to kill me, but I said you were here to kill the Emperor's Seventh Grandpa , Guess what will happen? They didn’t tell you that this ancestor is with us, did they? But they know it clearly.”

The man tensed as if trying to sit up.

"You are old and frail!" the old monk yelled unhappily.

"Whose seventh grandfather is not old and frail? Why did you become like you when you became the emperor? No grandfather! If it wasn't because of old age and frailty, why didn't you rush to Jinling with Prince Xiang?"

"To watch you!"

Seeing that Qin Wubing was arguing vigorously with the monk and had no time to take care of him, the man seemed a little anxious. He wanted to persuade himself not to listen to Qin Wubing's nonsense, but what Qin Wubing said was reasonable and well-founded, he couldn't help feeling a little worried. He only hoped that Qin Wubing would say a few more words, so that he could find flaws and distinguish the truth from the falsehood. As for what Qin Wubing and the old monk said, he didn't listen to a single word.

"You don't have to look at me like that!" Qin Wubing glanced at the man and said:
"What else do you want to hear? What do you understand? Why do you want to steal money for river management? The emperor asked officials from all over the country to make up for the shortfall, and then sent Prince Xiang to the south. Many officials were so scared that they diapered their pants and reached out to the officials of your Cao Gang who asked for money. Is it a lot? Did someone tell you that if the money is not stolen, it will be corrupted by the officials on the river?

"The Huaijing Canal is your territory, but it is not so easy for you to get on the boat. There is no support on the boat. No matter how good your water skills are, you can only hold back in the water!"

The old monk became interested: "You mean they first dive into the water, and then emerge when the time is right?"

"Why are you asking me? You should ask him!" Qin Wubing pointed at that person.

"You broke his face, but didn't break his brain. He's stupid, tell me the truth!"

"You don't need him to answer, you can know the answer by staring at him!"

……

The team rested on the side of the road that night, and set off again before dawn. After walking for a day, they finally arrived outside Jinling City in the evening with the golden afterglow.

After Qin Wubing didn't say anything more to that person, he just waited until he entered Jinling City to find a doctor and healed all the wounded, and then he looked at what Prince Xiang meant, wanting to make these self-proclaimed loyalists come first It is a bit difficult to confess honestly, but he is confident that his deduction will not be wrong.

But Qin Wubing never expected that it would be so difficult to enter Jinling City!

I saw outside the gate of Jinling City, headed by Prince Xiang, there were some civil officials, some military officials, and some unknown officials. From a distance, they were densely packed with people.

Qin Wubing knew that this was Prince Xiang announcing the return of the old monk to the world!No matter what happened to Qin Wubing, he could follow behind Lin Huai and Guo Yi, or even walk beside the spring grass cart, and no one would notice him.

But who is the old monk?It's plaster!
Wherever Qin Wubing went, the old monk would go. The whole team was not long. Qin Wubing had ridden around several times on his horse, and the horse was not happy, let alone the old monk.

"Where can you hide? It belongs to the bastard?" The old monk followed behind Qin Wubing and shouted anxiously.

"Why do you always follow me? Those people welcome you, who am I?"

"If you marry Yu'er, you will be my niece and son-in-law. If you fail to marry, I can still be your uncle and grandpa. Where do you think you rank?!"

"It's not my turn to be by your side today, you should stay away from me and take the initiative to send yourself there, so we can go to the city early to rest!"

"You have a good idea! It is absolutely impossible to leave me alone to suffer!"

"How could it be suffering? Those people will definitely make you happy with sweet words, and it's too late for you to be beautiful!"

"I don't like to listen to them, but I like to listen to you!"

"Get away from me!"

……

In the end, Qin Wubing failed to twist the old monk, and really couldn't turn it around anymore, because Prince Xiang sent someone over to say: "Don't mess around anymore!"

Qin Wubing rode on the horse with nothing to love, and beside him was a smiling and radiant old monk. Qin Wubing wanted to turn his horse's head around several times and gallop away, but he knew that the old monk would definitely follow. As long as it was something Qin Wubing was not willing to do, the old monk was very willing and persistent to accomplish it.

Thus, Qin Wubing stood half a step behind the old monk, and outside Jinling City, he accepted the kneeling bows of all the officials except Prince Xiang!

Among them are Tian Wenqian, the new governor of Jiangnan, Deng Ming, the commander of the Jiangnan capital, Chen Zhong, the commander of the Henan capital, Fan Shoukang, the governor of the river channel, Xie Yu, the procurator for the punishment, and Zheng Tuo, the governor of the Jinling government...

Qin Wubing's heart was surging, his expression was deathly, his eyes were looking into the distance, his hands and feet were trembling!

After the officials bowed and bowed, there was a humming of praises, Qin Wubing could only hear the humming.

Qin Wubing just stood upright among the leaders of Jiangnan Province at all levels, expressionless.

Lin Huai and Guo Yi stood outside the crowd and looked at Qin Wubing enviously.

Lin Huai said with a smile: "You see, the third brother is still very imposing in front of the court officials!"

Guo Yi said: "I used to think that he dared to be so unruly because of the lord's pity for his talent. Looking at it now, I underestimated him! If it were me in this battle, I'm afraid my hands would be sweating nervously. "

Xiaofu who was standing beside said, "Seventh Young Master must be sweating right now."

Xiao Er said: "Not only sweating, but also my legs are shaking."

Xiao Mo chuckled and said, "Seventh Young Master must really want to fly away now."

Xiaosi asked seriously: "I need to move my legs later, what should he do?"

……

Fortunately, Qin Wubing was not given the opportunity to show his legs in public, so how could the officials not prepare sedan chairs for Prince Xiang and the old monk?
Surrounded by officials at all levels, the two imperial relatives got into the sedan chair, and Qin Wubing was still standing where he was.

Because the old monk has become a monk, he doesn't have a lay title, so naturally he doesn't have a guard of honor, but Prince Xiang has one!Qin Wubing only felt that there were suddenly colorful lights in front of him, various flags and small flags, canopies, peacock tails, Jinshan banners, Zhutuan fans...

I don't know where it all came from!
Qin Wubing watched the crowd slowly go away, let out a long breath, and secretly cursed the old monk for never growing his hair!This is clearly the old monk's intention to retaliate!
The old monk was sitting in the sedan chair laughing happily, suddenly sneezed, and then laughed again, he felt that Qin Wubing's appearance just now was enough for him to laugh for a month, but he had to continue to think of a way, otherwise What are you laughing at after a month?
