Chapter 323: Rush to the ancient city

Li Yao glanced at Zhu Zhantan and hesitated, and said, "Back to the little prince, this person does the little prince also know?"

This time, Zhu Zhantan was even more strange, and muttered: "Xiao Wang also knew each other, so this person must be Xiao Wang's friend?"

"But Zhao Tuiguan?" Zhu Zhantan thought for a while and asked, in Hangzhou, he thought it was a secret identity, and there were not many people he knew, except for Wang Bin, the Yang family, and the Peng family, the only one who knew the official title was Zhao Tuiguan, although Yang Shiqi was extremely talented, but not Yang Rong, he didn't understand military affairs, and when he came to Hangzhou City, if he wanted to find someone to help, except for a martial artist Zhao Tuiguan, he really couldn't think of anyone else?

Li Yao shook his head and said, "It's not Zhao Tuiguan, it's a subordinate of the Peng family?"

"A subordinate of the Peng family?" Zhu Zhantan was slightly stunned, then remembered something, slapped the coffee table violently, and said in a lost voice: "This person is surnamed Yang, and his single name is a Zheng character?"

Li Yao nodded and said, "The little prince is clever, it's him!"

Zhu Zhan was frank for a moment, then laughed out loud, and said, "Yang Zheng, okay, good, Xiao Wang wants to see what skills you have, and you are worthy of Yang Shiqi's attention!"

He groaned and said, "What did Yang Shiqi ask him to do?"

This "he" naturally refers to Yang Zheng, Li Yao naturally understood, bowed down and said: "Yang Shiqi asked him to be the general of this eradication of the Maitreya Sect, commanding 5,000 men and horses?"

"General!" Zhu Zhantan was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "This Yang Shiqi really dares to use people, a subordinate of the Peng family has become a general all of a sudden!"

Zhu Zhantan's squinted eyes looked at the painting boat again, the autumn rain that was still dripping just now, I don't know when it stopped, and the surroundings immediately took on a new look, except for the smoke.

Zhu Zhantan looked at it for a while and retracted his gaze, pondered for a long time, and suddenly laughed softly.

Li Yao glanced at Zhu Zhantan and said softly, "My lord, do we want to-?"

Fluttershy was on the side, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw Li Yao stretch out her right hand and put it on her neck, making a movement to wipe her neck, and subconsciously moved her gaze to Zhu Zhantan.

Zhu Zhantan still had a faint smile on his face like a crown of jade, his eyes opened slightly, his long eyelashes fluttered a few times, stretched out his long wrist and shook it at Li Yao: "No, this person can be valued by Yang Shiqi, there must be something outstanding, the Chamber of Commerce is a battle, Xiao Wang looks at this person brilliantly, and that wit is incomparable, he is a rare talent, Xiao Wang is very curious, how can he use 5,000 people to Li Fuda 20,000 people?"

Li Yao's eyebrows jumped, and he glanced at Mei Qing, and the two of them said in their own hearts: "This little prince is good at everything, but he is too indecisive, the person Yang Shiqi values is naturally not small, and now that the Maitreya Sect is about to attack Hangzhou City, there is suddenly such an enemy, the best way is undoubtedly to kill him?"

"Little Wangye, this-?" Li Yao still had to speak. Zhu Zhantan had already stretched out his hand and waved his hand, and said with a calm face: "You keep an eye on him, his every move must be recorded for Xiao Wang, Xiao Wang wants to see if this person is brilliant in culture, suitable for war, if he can fight, Xiao Wang will recruit it, and it is also very beneficial to his father's great cause to recruit such talents?"

Li Yao nodded and responded: "Humble duty understands!"

Zhu Zhantan waved his hand, and the two of them stepped forward to answer with their fists, walked out of the painting boat, jumped off the painting boat, and drove a small boat.

Zhu Zhantan picked up the teacup and drank the tea soup in the cup before standing up and walking out of the boat.

The West Lake outside the painting boat has become very refreshing after the baptism of autumn rain.

Zhu Zhantan closed his eyes, greeted his face slightly, buried himself in the smoke of West Lake, and inhaled a few hard, as if he wanted to inhale all the clear air into his heart.

After a while, he opened his eyes and exhaled heavily, looking at the mountains in the distance, the water in the distance, and the fog in the distance, and muttered: "Yang Zheng hopes that you will not disappoint Xiao Wang!"

In the muddy path, three horses galloped to Hangzhou City, and after more than three hours, they arrived at the range of Hangzhou City.

The ancient city of Hangzhou has been seen in later generations, but after all, I have never seen it in this life, so I can't help but be curious, so I pulled the reins of the horse and asked: "Brother Gao, where is this Hangzhou city?"

Gao Hang laughed and said, "Lord Yang, you are the Peng family, how can you not know the ancient city of Hangzhou?"

Yang Zheng laughed when he heard this: "Brother Gao's words are different, living in the ancient city of Hangzhou may not know the place, otherwise how could the ancients have the feeling of not knowing the true face of Lushan and only being in this mountain?"

Gao Hang was stunned for a moment, and then thought that there was some truth in it, and he couldn't help laughing.

The three fast horses did about a cup of tea, and Gao Hang suddenly stretched out his hand and said, "Lord Yang, the ancient city of Hangzhou has arrived!"

Yang Zheng looked up, only to see a square city, built of big blue bricks, built a lot of gates, at a glance it seems to be all doors, can't help but be a little curious: "There are so many gates, if there is really a war, it will be a trouble to defend the city?"

Gao Hang was stunned, although he was a Jinyi guard, he also read a lot of military books on weekdays, and he had a lot of experience in the art of war, after listening to Yang Zheng's words, he thought about it carefully, but this is not the case, there are almost a dozen gates in this Hangzhou city, when the real enemy is outnumbered, it is indeed a trouble to defend the city!" Thinking of this, I couldn't help but take a look at Yang Zheng, I thought he was shameless and thick-skinned, but at this time, I saw the flaws in Hangzhou City at a glance, and I couldn't help but nod and said: "This person also has some ability, no wonder he is so valued by Lord Shangshu!" “

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

"Brother Gao, how many gates are there in this city?" Yang Zheng asked after glancing at the large and small gates of the ancient city.

"This-?" Gao Hang smiled bitterly, he knew that there were a lot of gates in the ancient city of Hangzhou, but he really didn't know how many, listening to Yang Zheng's inquiry, his face turned red, and he couldn't say anything.

Suddenly, I heard a humanitarian: "Before the Southern Song Dynasty at the ancient city gate of Hangzhou, there were thirteen dry gates and five water gates in Hangzhou. Since the Song and Yuan dynasties, to the end of our dynasty, Hangzhou City has been fixed as ten city gates!" It was no one else who spoke, it was Xiao Yue, who had been silent.

As soon as Yang Zheng heard the voice, he knew that it was Xiao Yue, and said in his heart: "You girl, you are finally willing to speak, Lao Tzu still thinks you want to be dumb for the rest of your life?"

He muttered twice, glanced at the ancient city again, sighed, and said, "There are more than ten city gates, how can you remember them?"

Xiao Yue beside him glanced at him and snorted: "If you can't remember, it doesn't mean that others can't remember!"

"So does anyone remember?" Yang Zheng was surprised.

Gao Hang coughed twice and said: "In the past, people compiled the products of the ten city gates and each gate into a Hangqu tune: "Baiguan (Wulin) outside the door of the fish daner, Bazi (Genshan) outside the door of the silk basket, Zhengyang (Fengshan) outside the door of the horse running, Luo (Qingtai) outside the door of the salt daner, Caoqiao (Wangjiang) outside the door of the vegetable daner, (Houchao) outside the door of the wine altar, (Qingbo) outside the door of firewood, (Yongjin) outside the door rowing, (Qiantang) outside the door of the incense basket, Taiping (Qingchun) outside the door of dung." ”

Yang Zheng silently recited it a few times, and said in his heart: "This song is also very interesting?"

While speaking, the three fast horses have approached the ancient city of Hangzhou, Gao Hang just wanted to rush into the Wangjiang Gate, because just now he said to Yang Zheng that this Wangjiang Gate is the ancient southeast gate of Hangzhou, which was built in the 28th year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, called Xinmen. Because it has the Maoshan River Grass Bridge to the east, also known as the Grass Bridge Gate. From the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty to the thirteenth year of the Yuan Dynasty, the Yuan soldiers occupied Hangzhou, and Wangjiangmen was also destroyed in the war. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty to the nineteenth year of the reconstruction of the city wall, expand the east city three miles, build the gate here to change Yongchang, because the city tower can look at the Qiantang River tide in the distance, only from here to enter, can be regarded as really entering the ancient city of Hangzhou.

was about to rush in, but halfway through, he grabbed the reins of the horse, turned the horse's head and waved at Yang Zheng.

Yang Zheng and Xiao Yue's kung fu was slightly worse than Gao Hang's, and they were a few points behind in the sprint just now, seeing him waving his hand at this time, he hurriedly grabbed the reins, Xiao Yue asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Gao Hang smiled bitterly and said, "This city gate hasn't been opened yet?"

Yang Zheng was stunned, the sun was going to be noon, and the city gate hadn't opened yet, so it was really a little unreasonable?

"Are the other city gates open?" Yang Zheng hurriedly asked when he thought that there were more than a dozen city gates here.

Gao Hang shook his head and said that it was not opened.

"What is this called?" Yang Zheng scolded and said, "I didn't come so early if I knew it?"

"The city gate hasn't opened, what should we do?" Satsuki looked a little anxious.

"The city gate is not something I can control, I didn't open it, so I had to wait?" Yang Zheng said with a wry smile.

Gao Hang nodded and said, "It seems that this is the only way?"

The ancient city of Hangzhou is located in the center of Hangzhou, across the river from the Qiantang River, but also very prosperous, surrounded by wine shops, all kinds of shops stretch along the perimeter of the city, it seems that it is almost noon at this time, it is the most prosperous and lively time, there are a lot of pedestrians and tourists, those wine shops, the sound of shops selling each other ups and downs is not lively.

"Lord Yang, do you think we are here waiting for the city gate to open, or should we find a wine shop to have a glass of water and wine first?" Gao Hang didn't know what Yang Zheng was planning in his heart, so he had to ask carefully.

"I've been on the road for a long time, and my butt is about to fall apart while riding a horse, so why don't you find a wine shop to eat and wait?" Yang Zheng rubbed his numb buttocks and said with a frown.

Gao Hang also had this intention, nodded and took the lead.

Xiao Yue rubbed this guy vigorously with a big hand on her ass behind Yang Zheng, and she didn't know what she thought, her pretty face turned red, and she muttered, "Why is this person so shameless?"

(It's the last three days, ask for a monthly pass, ask for a monthly pass!)
