Chapter 168 Chu Zhongfeng's Invitation
In the room, Shigure giggled.
"Shigure-sama...Shigure-sama?"
Ji Ruxue waved her hand in front of her, finally attracting her attention again.
"You are very good!"
Shigure looked at Ji Ruxue and pretended to be old-fashioned.
"As for you, if you continue to argue, I will tell His Highness that you will no longer want to be His Highness's maid!"
Under the threat of His Highness, these preparatory maids finally calmed down.
Shigure quickly explained the rules here.
Being a maid is not an easy thing.
Shigu became Qin Ming's personal maid, but she was trained in the palace for who knows how long.
From food, clothing, housing, transportation to speech and behavior, everything needs to be paid attention to.
After Shigure finished telling the story, all the girls in the room had big heads.
Why do you have so many rules when you are a maid? !
Ji Ruxue did not complain, but silently wrote down everything Shiyu said.
Shigure glanced around and snorted.
Is it really easy for these women to be maids?
She, Shigure-sama, will never let go of anyone who has other evil intentions and is disloyal to His Highness!
"Just stay here for the time being and wait for His Highness's instructions in the future."
"As for food, don't worry, someone will deliver it to you..."
After Shigure finished speaking, he left the room without caring about the reactions of the girls in the room.
As soon as she left the room, she hurried to Qin Ming's side to complain.
Qin Ming was checking on the affairs in Jinsha City. Hearing Shi Yu's quiet complaints, he waved his hand.
"It's up to you to take care of those women."
"I don't need maids. If they really have nothing to do, prepare a loom for them to weave cloth."
Shigure said weakly, "Your Highness, do you really not need a maid?"
Qin Ming said helplessly, "Just having you alone is enough to make me upset. How much more will it take?"
Shigure stamped his feet and said angrily, "Your Highness, why is Shigure bothering Your Highness?"
Qin Ming: "Ah, yes, yes."
After finally sending the little girl away, Qin Ming breathed a sigh of relief.
He really doesn't understand.
Why is Xiao Yu so keen on being his maid now?
Before entering Lingnan, Qin Ming had already told her that he was willing to let her regain her freedom.
And what happened in Jinsha City? Did they choose a maid for him?
He hasn't proclaimed himself emperor yet, and now he's preparing to choose a concubine for him?
That's bullshit.
It's all Zhang Zeduan's fault. He was the one who brought it up. What kind of atmosphere is this?
Qin Ming sighed, and then continued to look at the documents on the table.
"Invitation from the Zhao family in Pingtang City? Let's go and take a look at it sometime in a few days."
"Wujiazhai...I agreed to this at the beginning? Why don't I remember..."
"Why so many invitations? Did you receive so many gifts? Forget it, just pick a few and reject all the others."
"This is... Yan'an City, Chu Zhongfeng? This guy has no good intentions, what kind of tricks is he doing? Hongmen Banquet?"
In addition to most of the large and small affairs in Jinsha City, there are also many invitations.
Yesterday, many forces came to congratulate Qin Ming, and today they sent invitations again.
I really want to meet Qin Ming.
But Qin Ming quickly noticed a unique invitation.
Upon closer inspection, it was from Chu Zhongfeng from Yan'an City.
He said that he wanted to discuss the situation in Lingnan, etc., and then invited Qin Ming to Yan'an City for a banquet.
How could Qin Ming accept it easily?
This is an obvious Hongmen Banquet!
But on it, Qin Ming saw the annotations left by Zhuge Liang.
"Your Highness, you can think about it."
Qin Ming was shocked when he saw this comment.
What are you thinking about? This Chu Zhongfeng must have bad intentions and is full of bad intentions!
But after some hesitation, Qin Ming took out the invitation and put it aside.
Although Qin Ming intuitively felt that going to the banquet was full of dangers, since Zhuge Liang said so, Qin Ming might as well consider it.
...
At this time, Yan'an City was equally lively, with an endless stream of cars and horses.
In the city lord's palace in the center of the city, many leaders of Lingnan forces gathered here.
Many of them were Lingnan forces that had previously congratulated Qin and Ming.
Now they have all received the invitation from Chu Zhongfeng and gathered here.
"City Lord Chu, why did you invite us here?"
Some of them still don’t know why and look confused.
Others had already received the news in advance and remained silent.
Chu Zhongfeng held the wine glass and said with a smile, "You are all figures from Lingnan. I heard that your Majesty has conferred the title of King of Lingnan. What do you think?"
"What else can you think of? This is His Majesty's will..."
There were many people invited, including the county magistrate of a city, the leader of a bandit village, or the head of a family, all of whom were unknown.
The magistrate of Tianshui City looked unwillingly.
If it hadn't been for the arrival of Qin Ming, if there hadn't been Nao Shizi, King of Lingnan.
He was a small county magistrate, but he was the local emperor of Shuicheng that day!
But with the arrival of Qin Ming, how could he be so proud and unrestrained?
At first, he also heard the news that the Sixth Prince came to Lingnan.
But the news meant nothing to him.
Because at that time, Qin Ming was still an exiled criminal.
How could he have imagined that such a change would occur not long after this!
This exiled Sixth Prince suddenly became the King of Lingnan?
The King of Lingnan, who was personally appointed by His Majesty, is not that simple!
Lingnan has been divided by His Majesty into the territory of the King of Lingnan!
Then the officials of Lingnan naturally belong to Qin Ming.
For the county magistrate of Tianshui City, Qin Ming is no different from the imperial sword hanging over his head!
He may be beheaded at any time!
How can he feel at ease?
But what can he do?
This is the personal appointment of His Majesty. In addition, it is heard that the Sixth Prince wiped out the Black Wind Village.
The power of the Black Wind Village is greater than that of his Tianshui City!
If you resist, the outcome is naturally foreseeable!
A family head said frankly.
"In my opinion, if we can make friends with the King of Lingnan, the benefits will outweigh the disadvantages!"
"I have met the King of Lingnan last time. He is not very old. If we can..."
Chu Zhongfeng listened to their words, narrowed his eyes slightly, and a dangerous look flashed in his eyes.
"Really?"
He looked at the silent bandit leaders on the side.
These are the larger bandit gangs in various parts of Lingnan. They received Chu Zhongfeng's invitation and came here.
Chu Zhongfeng's reputation in Lingnan is still very loud.
The notoriety of the past has not been forgotten by them until now.
So they are willing to give Chu Zhongfeng a face.
The head of the Tiger Mountain has a sinister look in his eyes, "Lord Chu, our brothers are used to being free in Lingnan. The appearance of the King of Lingnan has long made the brothers under his command uncomfortable. If there is a chance, they must..."
He put his hand on his neck and wiped it hard, with a ferocious expression.
