The special envoy of the General Administration stopped his flag and sailed on the sea for three days, and arrived in Wuchuan, and then went north along the Wu River to Huazhou. Jiang Qi, the transfer envoy of Guangxi South Road, and the army temporarily stationed the troops here to rest. The sudden arrival of the delegation caused a turmoil in Huazhou. Zeng Yuanzi and Jiang Qi led the city to welcome them into the city. However, Gao Yingsong said that he was tired all the way, so he went directly to the inn to rest. The deputy envoy Zhuang Wang went to the rear military camp in the name of visiting his brothers, and Zeng Yuanzi could only agree to welcome them the next day.

"Brother, please sit down!" Zhuang Siqi welcomed his brother into his room. After seeing the greeting, he asked his brother to sit down.

"Oh, your place is pretty good!" Zhuang Gong looked around and looked around. There were curtains hanging in the house, and there were shelves on one side of the wall, with antiques, ivory carvings, corals and other things on it; on the other side were some strange flowers and plants, scattering fragrance; there was a desk in front of the window, a gilded wax table, and four treasures of the study were placed, full of elegance, but lacking the intention of killing generals.

"Haha, fortunately, it was all arranged by Lord Zeng. Brothers didn't worry about it, so brothers should rest here too!" Zhuang Siqi said with a smile.

"Besides, are you doing well recently?" Zhuang Gongwang agreed vaguely and asked again.

"What's wrong with it? I can eat and sleep every day. Except for marching and fighting, Lord Zeng will arrange everything, so you don't have to worry about it." Zhuang Siqi patted his chest and smiled.

"Well, you have fought one after another, will the children in the village suffer casualties?" Zhuang Gong nodded, his eyes seemingly unhappy, but it also flashed and disappeared.

"Yes, there will inevitably be casualties when they go into battle, but Lord Zeng makes up for it according to the numbers, and the number of troops has not decreased!" Zhuang Siqi did not show his brother's abnormality and answered carelessly.

"Sir, please use tea!" As he spoke, two young women came in and delivered it to the tea channel.

"Thank you!" Zhuang Gongzhe saw that although the two women had beautiful faces, they were frivolous and charming, they knew that they were not good women and said coldly.

"I'll talk to my brother, you guys go out!" Zhuang Siqi saw that his elder brother was unhappy and quickly waved his hand to signal the two women to go out.

"How could there be female relatives in your army?" Seeing that the two of them were out, Zhuang Gongzhe asked with a frown.

"Brother, when Mr. Zeng saw that I was alone and no one was taken care of, he chose two people from the official shop to wash clothes and serve food." Zhuang Siqi replied indifferently, and said as he took out a brocade box from his sleeve and put it in front of his elder brother's hand.

"What is this?" Zhuang Gongwang did not open it and asked, pointing.

"Mr. Zeng said that it is very hard for me to come from a long journey. Before I could prepare, I gave me two Hepu beads to play with!" Zhuang Siqi said, opening the box and smiling.

"This..." Zhuang Gongzhe looked down and took a breath. He saw that the two beads in the box were as big as pigeon eggs, crystal clear and round, and the size was the same. What was rare was that they still shone with colorful light.

"Brother, this is a rare birth of an old clam for decades. Lord Zeng is really interested." Zhuang Siqi was surprised when he saw it and sighed.

"Kneel down!"

"Brother..." Zhuang Siqi didn't hear his elder brother's praise, but received an angry shout, which made him stunned on the spot for a moment and didn't know what to do.

"Kneel down, don't you listen to me anymore!"

"Yes! I'm sure to listen to my brother's lesson." Zhuang Siqi saw the elder brother's face full of anger, but he didn't know why he was so angry, but he still knelt down as he said.

"Can we still remember the ancestors of our Zhuang family?" Zhuang Duke Zhe asked in a deep voice.

"Loyalty, trustworthiness, benevolence and righteousness, and courteousness!" Zhuang Siqi immediately replied. This eight-character ancestor teaching has long been engraved in the hearts of the descendants of the Zhuang family, how can they forget it?

"Have you done it?" Zhuang Gongzhe looked at it coldly and asked again.

"Please let me make it clear!" Zhuang Siqi thought about it and had never done anything unfaithful and unjust, and asked.

"Hmph, let me ask you first, this bead is a forbidden object, and is used in the palace. You actually took it for yourself and gave it to me. How do you explain this?" Zhuang Gongzhe asked the box on the desk.

"Brother, now it is a chaotic time. Hepu Zhuchi has long been unattended. The private purchase and sale of Zhu people has become popular. Where is the forbidden object?" Zhuang Siqi was angry about this and explained with relief.

"Although it is a chaotic time, the court is still there, and the laws are still there. You are the people of the Song Dynasty and should abide by the laws. Now you are even more appointed by the court, but you regard the ban as nothing, and you still have a strong sense of loyalty in your actions. "Zhuang Gongzhe slapped the table and said, and his heart was even more painful, and he sighed that His Highness had indeed had foresight.

After being ordered to go to Leizhou, Your Highness privately summoned him, saying that Zeng Yuanzi was good at scrutinizing people's hearts and doing miserable things. Worrying that Jiang Yu would be deceived, Zhuang Siqi had been recruited by him. He had already written to the court to recommend Zeng Yuanzi as the commander-in-chief and Jiang Yu was the governor of the three prefectures. If the facts happened, he was unwilling to return to the general's mansion and did not have to force it. He might have a good future if he stayed under their command. Zhuang Duke Zhe did not care at the time, and believed that Your Highness was too concerned, saying that his brothers had always been loyal and righteous, and were deeply possessed by Your Highness, and would swear to follow Your Highness to revive the Song Dynasty. He would never do anything to betray the Lord and betray the Lord.

Now when I look at my brothers again, I kept silent from coming to the camp, Lord Zeng, but I never asked His Highness a question. And I don’t care about my ruthlessness. Even so, Your Highness repeatedly reminded me that if the army in the future can understand the general and be willing to return to Qiong, I must be cautious in my actions and must be tolerant and not reveal my original intentions to avoid being harmed by a traitor. But now my brother’s words and deeds are still unbearable and unwilling to bear it.

"Brother, this matter was done by Lord Zeng and has nothing to do with me!" Zhuang Siqi quickly explained when he saw his elder brother being angry.

"You are still quibbling. You know that it is illegal but you turn a blind eye to it. What's more, you are even more damn!" Zhuang Duke Zhe became even more angry when he saw his brother become like this, and stood up and pointed at his nose and cursed.

"Brother, don't be upset. I did something wrong. I will return the beads tomorrow!" Although Zhuang Siqi held military power, he was influenced and taught by his brother since childhood. He was timid every day. Now that he has accumulated power, he dare not act rashly, so he quickly apologized.

"You have done this wrong, you are simply unforgivable!" Zhuang Gongzhe did not let go because of his mistake, and reached out to slap his brother and shouted.

"Brother..." Zhuang Siqi was stunned by a slap and stood there on the spot. After a while, he said, "I don't know what else is wrong, which makes me so angry. Please tell me clearly one by one, so I can make my mistakes!"
