Red makeup against the world

Chapter 385

Tianjin Qiaotou is crowded with people.

The men of the four dragon boat teams are resting in their own tents.

They had also heard about the reason for Wu Zhengxiang's late arrival.They are all bold and big men, so they don't mind.

King Qi sat on the main seat in the booth. Although he did not participate in the competition in person, he would celebrate with the participating team members every year.Whether you win or lose, you will be the host, treat them to a boozy meal.

At this time, there was a shout from outside: "General Wu has arrived!"

He walked out of the shed and walked towards the bridge.

A person also came out from the color shed on his left, it was the prince.When he saw King Qi in front of him, he snorted coldly, but with a smile on his face, he quickly walked a few steps to catch up, and said, "Your Brother, what a coincidence!"

Hearing his voice, King Qi turned his head in surprise.The prince has always disdained to show up on such occasions, why did he come this year?

He thought about it in his mind, but smiled very gently, and said, "I have seen Your Highness."

The prince waved his hand generously and said, "My brother, you don't need to look outside like this."

For a while, the two brothers were in harmony and walked towards the bridge together.

Seeing the two of them coming, the crowd on the bridge split to both sides like a tide to make way for them.

Many people even saluted them, and said in their mouths: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! I have seen Prince Qi!"

The corner of the prince's lips was smiling, and his handsome face was chic and calm.

Some women saw it from a distance, and screamed one after another, "Ah! Look, His Highness actually smiled at me!"

"It's obviously looking at me, but how could it be looking at you?" The two women tore up.

The prince's eyes were filled with deep boredom. Such vulgar fans always made him sick.

King Qi glanced at his face and said with a smile: "Brother Huang, you are still so popular."

This is obviously a compliment, but hearing the prince's ears, I feel even more depressed.He waved his hand and didn't even want to say anything. He got to the bridge and looked at the boat coming this way.

King Qi secretly laughed, the prince is tired of these women the most, his words will only make him more troublesome.

She knew that the prince had a violent temper and was often impatient because of some trivial matters.

If his anger could be aroused here, it would expose the prince's temperament to the public.Even if it can't cause substantial harm to him, it's good to make the prince lose some popularity.

As for the throne, King Qi is determined to win it.Therefore, he has the patience to strive for any slight advantage, even if it doesn't seem to work at this moment.

……

Wu Sheng stood at the bow of the boat, letting the scorching sun burn without moving.

When he reached the bridge, he turned around and said, "I'll go up first, and you guys will protect Prince Liu back to Pingguo's mansion."

Both the imperial physician and the servant agreed, Liu Qiran raised his hand on the door panel and said, "Thank you!"

Wu Sheng nodded, and jumped onto the Tianjin Bridge from the bow of the boat.

His clean and agile movements made the crowd applaud and applaud.

At the bow of the boat, he had already seen the crown prince and King Qi, and immediately bowed his hands and said: "The last general has seen His Royal Highness, Prince Qi."

The prince clapped his hands up, and said: "General Wu, you don't need to be polite, please get up quickly."

With the crown prince in front, King Qi naturally couldn't speak, just looked at him with a smile and nodded.

Wu Sheng said: "Prince, please forgive me. At the end of the day, I will change my clothes first, and then come to pay my respects."

He was still wearing a drum-tou attire, with most of his body exposed, so it was naturally inconvenient for him to accept the lottery.

The prince nodded and said, "You go."

"Farewell, the last general!" Wu Sheng strode towards the beiya army's colorful shed, and after only a moment, he changed into the official robe of a second-rank general and came out.

Wu Shangshu under the canopy received the report, and the staff prepared the ceremony.

Koizumi also returned to Wu Guangqi's side.He found out the cause and effect, and told Wu Guangqi the truth.

Wu Guangqi held the whisk firmly in his hand, with no expression of joy or anger on his face.

Wu Sheng strode under the canopy, cupped his hands and said, "The incident happened suddenly. I have to thank Wu Shangshu and Director Wu for waiting for a long time. I hope you will forgive the general."

How dare Wu Shangshu blame him?One must know that Wu Sheng holds the Sixth Army of the Beiya in his hand, and he is the emperor's first-class confidant and favorite general.

He hurriedly said: "Life is at stake, General Wu has a warm heart. How is Liu Shizi's injury?"

"He suffered internal injuries, and the imperial physician came to see him just now. He has to rest in bed for three months before he can walk around."

Wu Guangqi said with concern: "So it's so serious, our family has to report it to the emperor."

Wu Sheng nodded, the prince of Pingguo was injured, the emperor should know.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Wu Guangqi said, "It's getting late, it's better to get down to business, let's chat again."

……

After receiving the instruction, the burly man who was beating the drum raised the drumstick again, and the sound of "dong dong dong" was heard far away.

Wu Shangshu presided over the ceremony, and after the roll call was over, Wu Guangqi read out the imperial decree written in advance, and personally held out the lottery bestowed by the emperor.

Wu Sheng knelt down on both knees, first shouted Long Live, and thanked the Lord for his kindness, then respectfully held the plate on which the lottery head was placed with both hands, stood up and stood aside.

The dragon boat race held on the Luoshui River was different from other places. There were only four teams in total, and all of them were appointed by the emperor himself.Therefore, not only the first name will win the lottery, but the other three teams will not fall.

At the moment, according to the ranking, the drum heads of the other three teams came forward to thank En to receive the reward in turn.

After watching the ceremony, the crowd on the Tianjin Bridge dispersed contentedly.

The sun was scorching hot, Wu Shangshu didn't want to stay here for a minute, so he said goodbye to Wu Guangqi: "Boss Wu, please forgive me, I will talk about it some other day."

Wu Guangqi knew that he was fat and afraid of heat, so he didn't intend to embarrass him, and said: "Wu Shangshu walk slowly, our family will not send him away."

"Stay! Stay!" Wu Shangshu hurried away, wiping the dripping sweat while walking.

Wu Sheng looked around, saw a person, and beckoned, "Come here."

Captain Luo hurriedly approached him, and asked respectfully, "I have seen General Wu."

Wu Shengdao: "You take the big guy to Ningxiang Tower first, and I will arrive later. I have already sent someone to book it first, and I won the first place today, so that the brothers can relax and enjoy themselves. All the money, It's all up to me."

Ningxiang Tower?Captain Luo's eyes lit up when he heard this name, this is the best brothel in Luoyang City.As expected of General Wu, this is a big deal.

Such good news must be told to the brothers quickly.Colonel Luo took the order and rushed into the colored shed of the Beiya army.In just an instant, deafening cheers came from the canopy, and they went straight to the sky.

Wu Sheng shook his head amusedly, he loves these guys extremely.

Turning his head, he suppressed his smile, turned to Wu Guangqi and said, "Boss Wu, at the end I have something to report."

Wu Guangqi's heart skipped a beat, he really came!

He knew about it, it wasn't that simple.It turned out that it was waiting for him here.
