    "You are really a beast in clothes" Bai Fengjiao was wrapped in a quilt and cursed feebly. A look of pain appeared on her angry face, "It hurts so much. It's so painful that I can't stand it now."

    Her hair was messy, her face was pale and stained with tears, and she looked miserable, as if she had been insulted, not willingly.  After resting for a while, she saw that Zhang Ning was speechless, so she asked: "Are you all so bad? Why are you so upright in the books?"

    Zhang Ning said: "You used the secret recipe yourself, I was just cooperating with you. By the way, this is the first time I have seen such a mysterious thing in the world."

    "But you can't take advantage of others' danger!" Bai Fengjiao said on the verge of tears, "Why do you want to take advantage of others' discomfort to coerce me into doing such shamefuldisgusting things?"

    He couldn¡¯t explain it. Looking back, he just saw that she couldn¡¯t help herself and couldn¡¯t help but do that, as if it was a natural rule.  Maybe doing something that you wouldn't normally imagine at some point is a way of expression and a release of emotions.

    Compared with Bai Fengjiao's current shame, Zhang Ning couldn't help but feel secretly happy, just like a playful person who discovered a very fun game.  The feeling of psychological satisfaction afterwards, the relief of stress relief, and the refreshing feeling are simply indescribable.

    ¡­¡­

    In the Duke's Mansion of the State of Guizhou in Yunnan, Mu Sheng, who is in his sixties, is also playing with women, and is having sex with Zheng who has just arrived.  A group of girls were singing and dancing in front of them, dressed in all kinds of strange ways. They were all beautiful girls selected from various local ethnic groups, and there were even girls from Jiaozhi and Champa.  Wearing only their underwear, amid the sound of drums, they got close to the master and distinguished guests, twisted their waists, swung their bodies, and showed off their most tempting parts for the appreciation of a few old guys.

    In the grand hall, some women only wore bellybands, some only had a cloth scarf on their chests, and some wore extremely short skirts. Not to mention their bare legs were exposed. If they moved a little too much, even the private parts of the shameful people in the group were looming.  The scene is extremely debauched.

    There were some strong men in cloth robes standing by the wall. These people were dressed like literati, but at first glance, the round-waisted and thick-shouldered figures were guards, and some of them had beards on their faces.  Other maids stood with lowered eyebrows and eyes.

    "If my old friend likes someone, ask her to sleep with her, or send them all to your room." Mu Sheng laughed.

    Zheng Qia¡¯s expression remained unchanged. He did not pretend to be a noble gentleman, and even admired the beautiful woman with great interest.  This is probably one of Zheng Qia's abilities that Jianwen appreciates. He is a gentleman, but he can get along with all kinds of people and will never make his allies lose face.

    Zheng Qia also thought about the intention of Duke Qian in entertaining him so "kindly", but he still felt that he was more kind than making things difficult. He had never encountered a beauty being used to make things difficult for a guest.  Today's entertainment did not invite local officials and celebrities from Yunnan. They were all members of the family, so there was no need to show off.  However, Zheng Qia still cares about his own image. Even in front of these unidentified servants around him, he is not willing to be different from what he looks likebut these beautiful girls are really attractive. He can't deceive himself. Men will inevitably like them.  Beauty.  It's just that his concentration is very good, and he doesn't feel happy when he sees a group of beauties.

    "I appreciate Duke Qian's kindness." Zheng Qia said calmly and slowly.  Calling himself younger brother, he is closer to a martial artist.  Calling Mu Sheng Duke of Guizhou instead of Ping Xihou also recognized Emperor Yongle's enfeoffment; because in terms of legality, Jianwen did not recognize the title of "King Yan".  In his words, he expressed his recognition of the dukedom of Guizhou, and also hinted that he did not care about Mu Sheng's devotion to the emperors of the Yan family in recent years.

    Zheng Qia paused and said, "But I'm a little older, so I have more ambition than strength."

    After hearing this, Mu Sheng looked at each other and laughed with the two accompanying staff members, and said with a smile: "I am nearly seventy years old. I can eat a chicken and three bowls of rice in one meal, drink a dou of wine, and spend the night with three women. Mr. Zheng is not yet  At fifty? Does this mean you have more than enough ambition but not enough energy?"

    Zheng Qiadao: "The Duke is the most honest person today, how dare I compare with him!"

    The staff next to him reminded: "The Duke also has a handsome young man here. Is Mr. Zheng interested in taking a look?"

    Zheng Qia was suddenly stunned.

    The other staff member¡¯s face turned red from holding back.  Zheng Qia hurriedly explained: "Sir, you should know that the rumors that civil servants are as good as Long Yang are exaggerated. However, officials have been strictly prohibited from promiscuity since Taizu. Many officials in the capital have no family members in Beijing, and they dare not violate the law to look for flowers and willows. Therefore,  I am looking for that young man to be my lover. I have not been in Beijing for many years, so I have no such hobby."

    After saying that, he looked at Mu Sheng, and the two looked at each other and smiled obscenely.

    Mu Sheng turned around and scolded: "You talk nonsense and you will be punished with three cups of wine."

    "Yes, yes." The staff did not refuse. He first poured three glasses of wine down to apologize, and then poured wine for Zheng Qia.

    After the banquet,Seeing that Zheng Qia had no intention of choosing a beautiful woman to have sex with, she did not insist on it, so he ordered people to remove the food and wine, broke up the singing and dancing of the girls, and invited Zheng Qia to visit the courtyard of the mansion.

    This place is like spring all year round, even though it is the twelfth lunar month of winter, you don¡¯t feel the chill of the Central Plains at all. The mountains and waters in the courtyard are beautiful and the scenery is beautiful.  Zheng Qia's words were full of envy, but they were not all polite. He thought that after the "Jing Nan" campaign, a large number of officials from the central to the local governments were replaced, but the Duke of Guizhou still enjoyed high status and wealth.  , although I have lived in a borderland for my whole life, there is nothing wrong with the pleasant climate and prosperity.

    Emperor Jianwen¡¯s autographed letter has been given to Mu Sheng, but Zheng Qia fully knows the content because he wrote the content, and Emperor Jianwen only copied it.

    The letter did not ask Mu Sheng to immediately change his banner and declare his position to the world. It just renewed the old friendship and told him to send his "old friend" Zheng Qia to visit Mu Sheng Now it seems that Zheng Qia feels that his approach is completely correct.  Yes, the Mu family is living a good life here, so asking him to break with the imperial court is indeed a bit unreasonable and unkind.

    Because Mu Sheng was not Fang Xiaoru, otherwise he would not have been promoted to a noble title after Yongle came to power.  However, he is not a good person. The sky is high here and the emperor is far away. He holds military power and has high prestige in the local area. Ai and Jianwen are flirting with each other for a while, and no one can do anything to him.

    After walking on the stone bridge path for a while, the staff and attendants saw that the smile on the master's face gradually faded, so they followed him at a distance without disturbing them.

    Showing goodwill to Mu Sheng and wooing the Yunnan warlords are not just for copper.  Zheng Qia was thinking about it. At that time, the imperial court mobilized troops from Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi to attack Jiaozhi, and fought many big battles one after another. The generals in the southwest fought side by side and supported each other, and there was always some friendship.  In the future, the Northern Dynasty had no choice but to mobilize the southwest army's Qinwang. With Mu Sheng in the middle and Xini, I'm afraid the Northern Dynasty would not be able to mobilize it so smoothly.

    At this time, Zheng Qia said: "The emperor wants to urgently need 130,000 kilograms of Yunnan's high-quality copper. The Duke can leave this matter to the smuggling "merchants". If you can help this time,  Both the Emperor and King Xiang will remember this favor."

    Speaking of favors, Jianwen helped mediate the relationship between Mu Sheng and the local vassal king back then. It seems that Mu Sheng has not yet repaid this favor.  However, Zheng Qia understood that he should be as humble as possible now Just like when Mu Sheng kindly wanted to protect Emperor Jianwen, who was already like a lost dog, it was also for friendship. You can no longer ask him in a domineering manner.

    "What does the emperor want these coppers for?" Mu Sheng asked.  The jokes at the wine table are just jokes, but he is also a very calm and sophisticated person.

    "Build a cannon." Zheng Qia said truthfully, "A new type of artillery. We defeated the Northern Army several times with the weak defeating the strong. The firearms played a great role."

    "Oh" Mu Sheng nodded with an expression of understanding.  When his father Mu Ying entered Yunnan, large-scale rebellions broke out among the young people everywhere. He relied on firearms and three-stage attack tactics to gain an advantage on the frontal battlefield, so he had a deep understanding of firearms military affairs.

    After a while, Mu Sheng said: "I don't dare to let the emperor remember the favor. The emperor is kind to his ministers."

    These words immediately made Zheng Qia breathe a sigh of relief, feeling that the matter was almost settled.  Thinking about it, even if Mu Sheng is not a loyal minister and is just a wallflower, the advantages of betting on the Xiangwang Group at this critical moment outweigh the disadvantages.  This matter is feasible, and Zheng Qia is also thinking about making another contribution through this matter; the current contribution is to accumulate political capital in the future under the new political structure.

    Zheng Qia was not satisfied with just getting copper materials from Mu Sheng, and tried again: "The copper has to be transported to Jiujiang, Jiangxi, and out of Yunnan. Should it go to Guizhou? Once we enter Huguang, we will have no worries. We have control over that place."  territory, but Guizhou is not easy to navigate.¡±

    Mu Sheng said: "Master Zheng, don't worry, there are brothers in the Guizhou Guard who have died."

    ¡°Then I¡¯ll be relieved, little brother.¡± Zheng Qia suddenly said.  I was really relieved. As expected, the Duke of Guizhou had connections in the Yunnan-Guizhou Guards. Catching a Duke of Guizhou was equivalent to establishing relationships with a large number of generals.

    Zheng Qia said in a casual tone: "In addition to setting up defenses on the nine sides, the imperial military equipment also has defenses in Guizhou and Guangxi in the southwest. Among the generals near the town, there are actually brothers of the Duke of Guizhou who died. The civil and military layout of the imperial court is indeed a bit strange."

    "This kind of thing didn't happen during the Yongle period." Mu Sheng looked over with a chuckle, "Emperor Xuande is too young after all. I will be wary of Yang Rong in the court. He is a sensible person when it comes to matters related to David. But in Xuande  In the first year of the year, when Jiaozhili was gaining momentum, the court hastily ordered me to go to war with Liu Sheng, the Marquis of Anyuan. As a result, Liu Sheng was defeated and died in the battle.  , so the positions in the army were arranged in a chaotic manner, and Yang Rong was far away in the capital, so he had not yet figured out the situation clearly."

    After hearing this, Zheng Qia suddenly said: "I just love Brother Mu's temperament and his cheerfulness."

    The two of them laughed heartily again.

      Mu Sheng added: "The matter that Brother Zheng mentioned just now is not a big deal. It is just 130,000 kilograms of copper, and it is a trivial matter of pulling a few hundred mules. That's it, it's settled, I won't be vain.  , Brother Zheng will stay here for a while and supervise how things are done."

    Zheng Qia hurriedly bowed and said, "I don't dare."

    I don¡¯t know if he didn¡¯t dare to let Mu Sheng call Brother Zheng or if he didn¡¯t dare to interfere in the matter.
