Chapter 561: Commander Xiangshang
"They're not in the state jail." Yang Muyun shook his head and said.
"They were obviously arrested by the state government, how could they not be inside?" Ruan Ling hurriedly said, "Have you read it carefully?" ”
"The names of your father and brother are not on the roster of the prison," Yang Muyun said, "I have read them all, but without them, the cell boss inside also said that they were not imprisoned." ”
"And where will they be?" Ruan Ling felt a twitch in his heart, and his face was a little confused.
Yang Muyun's face was solemn and he did not speak. At this time, Ah Lian said something on the side, and Ruan Ling looked at Yang Muyun, "Do you think that my Abba and Brother will be locked up in Master Fan's?" ”
"The government took prisoners and escorted them to private places to be detained?" Yang Muyun felt incredible, but thinking that this was the country of Annan, where the local government was weak, it was not difficult to explain that it had to be attached to the local power.
"Do you know where Master Fan lives?" Yang Muyun asked.
"People from our village often come to him to contribute fresh fish," Ruan Ling said, "and our whole village is familiar with his house...... There is a courtyard in the city, but it is not large. His estate was mainly outside the city, where he had a large area of Zhuangzi. ”
"Does he often live in the city?" Yang Muyun asked again.
"The courtyard in the city is only taken care of by his subordinates," Ruan Ling said, "Master Fan has always lived in the Zhuangzi outside the city, and rarely comes to the city. ”
"If the person is really locked up in him, he shouldn't be in the city," Yang Muyun muttered: "Why don't we go to the Zhuangzi outside his city to investigate......" Before Yang Muyun finished speaking, he saw Ruan Ling with a shocked expression.
"What's the matter, did you see a ghost?" Yang Muyun said strangely, seeing Ah Lian's expression the same as her, it was even more incredible.
"Young Master Yang, look at ......" Ruan Ling pointed behind him with a slender hand.
Yang Muyun followed her fingers and saw a group of men with green cloth wrapped in their heads clustered around a pair of sliding rods to the gate of the state government, on which sat a rich man who was nearly fifty years old, dressed in a flower silk shirt, holding a folding fan, and a pair of eyes seemed to be open.
"What's wrong with this person?" Yang Muyun was puzzled.
He ...... He is Master Fan. Ruan Ling said.
"Oh?" Yang Muyun took a closer look, and the old man Fan looked very rich, not like a vicious character. Fan Siye followed closely beside him, followed by the monkey-faced man.
"What did he do in the state office?" Yang Muyun frowned, a powerful local man like him has always not taken local officials seriously, and when there is something, local officials go to his mansion to visit, how can he come here in person?
The officials of the state government seemed to know that he was coming, and the governor of Huazhou led the officials such as Tongzhi and Tongju to greet him out of the gate of the state government and bow to him.
"This Master Fan is really a big show." Yang Muyun said secretly in his heart.
"What are they doing here?" Ruan Ling's gaze turned to Yang Muyun, "Do they want to discuss how to deal with Yang Gongzi you?" ”
"Probably not, right?" Yang Muyun still has a little self-knowledge, "I'm new here, is it worth their trouble?" ”
It is also strange to say that the officials such as the governor of Huazhou did not welcome Master Fan and his party into the yamen, but greeted them at the entrance of the yamen.
Such a scene made Yang Muyu a little inexplicable.
"Young Master Yang," Ruan Ling tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "Master Fan and Fourth Master Fan have both entered the city, isn't it just convenient for us to go to his Zhuangzi outside the city to investigate?" Look at my Abba and Brother, are they locked up there? ”
"Hmm." Yang Muyun nodded and retracted his gaze, "Without further ado, let's hurry up!" ”
....
Before I reached the gate of the city, I saw a group of Annan officers and soldiers driving in, and from the outfit, they were a little different from the garrison in the city.
The Annan officers and soldiers who entered the city stood still on both sides of the street, faced the Annan people walking on the street, and drove them to the side of the street with knives and guns, so that they could not move around at will.
Yang Muyun and Ruan Ling were also driven to the side of the street and crowded with the people of Annam.
"Is there any big guy going into the city?" Yang Muyun saw that all the people of Annan looked at the city gate with awe in their eyes, so he asked Ruan Ling in a low voice.
Ruan Ling shook his head and asked a few words in Vietnamese to an Annan soldier with a spear in his hand. The Annan soldier replied to her proudly.
"He said that their commander, Zheng Ke and Zheng Houye, are about to evolve the state city." Ruan Ling explained to Yang Muyun.
"Zheng Ke Zheng Houye?" Yang Muyun didn't know much about the big man in Annan, and he didn't know the weight of this Marquis Zheng in Annan.
"Is this boy from the north?" An old man next to him listened to his own words, and said to him in Chinese: "Marquis Zheng is the founding father of our Dayue, who assisted the previous king, and has a very high prestige in our Dayue. This time, he was ordered by the king to conquer the city of Zhancheng, broke the occupation army, and also captured the capital of the Zhan people, Vijaya, and even their king Mahaviya was captured...... with a proud look.
"This old man, your Chinese language is good!" Yang Muyun arched his hand at him and praised.
"The old man is also a scholar," the old man bowed his hand and said: "A few decades ago, my scholars in Dayue had to be forced to learn the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty, and this Chinese language was still learned at that time...... Alas, it hasn't been used for a long time. He shook his head.
"Old man," it was rare to meet a person who had no obstacles in communication, Yang Muyun grabbed him and asked, "Then this Marquis Zheng has returned triumphantly now." That...... Did the people come out of their own accord to meet him? ”
"Exactly," the old man said with a solemn face: "Marquis Zheng has made immortal feats, and my people in Dayue should burn incense to welcome them." ”
Yang Muyun looked at both sides of the street, and saw that many houses and shops on the street had put out incense tables, lit the incense and respectfully inserted it into the incense burner, and there were fruits and vegetables on both sides of the incense burner.
"The customs of this Annan are no different from my Daming." Yang Muyun secretly said in his heart, thinking that Annanguo was originally the political envoy of the Ming Dynasty, it is not surprising that all this is not surprising.
"Did the son come to my Huazhou specifically to see the demeanor of Marquis Zheng?" The old man's gaze looked at him and asked.
"Hmm......" Yang Muyun responded vaguely, and said in his heart I just didn't have time to get out of the city, I was blocked in the city, and it was the first time that Marquis Zheng heard of it.
"Young Master Yang, what now?" Ruan Ling was anxious for a while, but it was not easy to show it, and asked quietly in Yang Muyun's ear.
"It's useless to be anxious now," Yang Muyun glanced at the Annan officers and soldiers standing around, "There are soldiers everywhere, don't say anything about leaving the city if you move, you will be arrested by them immediately." Afraid that Ruan Ling would not be able to hold his breath, he continued: "Uncle Ruan and Brother Ruan, their lives will not be in danger for the time being, you should be calm and impatient, wait patiently for their men and horses to pass, and then we will find an opportunity to go out of the city." ”
"Hmm." Ruan Ling replied helplessly.
Yang Muyun was talking, when he suddenly felt a cold light in the corner of his eyes, his heart froze, and when he turned his eyes, he saw a wooden building on the other side of the street, which had two floors and was not high. But in a small city like Huazhou, there are not many two-story wooden buildings, so it looks particularly conspicuous.
The windows on the wooden floor were closed, and it seemed that there was no one inside, but Yang Muyun could feel a murderous aura. That cold light was all too familiar to a person like him who had experienced brutal battles on the battlefield, and it was clearly a light reflected from an arrowhead.
"It seems that something bad will happen later......" Yang Muyun stared at the wooden building, "If someone wants to be unfavorable to that Marquis Zheng, this is an excellent ambush location." ”
"Uhh
"Marquis Zheng is going to enter the city." Yang Muyun's gaze froze, and his pupils suddenly contracted. He saw a crack in a wooden window in the wooden building, and a face poked out to glance in the direction of the city gate.
"Is that him?" Yang Muyun's heart moved, that face he had seen before entering the city, it was the young man who wanted to befriend him, "Is he trying to assassinate Marquis Zheng?" ”
....
A sonorous armor of Annan warriors lined up in a square formation into the city gate, behind the infantry square, is the cavalry team, the cavalry on the horse is exactly the same as the team of Annan cavalry that entered the city this morning, it can be seen that the previous team of cavalry is under the command of Marquis Zheng, and came to Huazhou City early in the morning to report the news.
Behind the cavalry phalanx were three-headed war elephants. Unlike the Ming army, in addition to cavalry and infantry, the Annam army also had elephant soldiers, who rode on the body of war elephants like small hills, condescending, and could effectively shoot the enemy.

The three war elephants were well decorated, with brightly colored velvet blankets on their heads and backs. The first one was the largest, and there was an umbrella cover on its back, and at the bottom of the umbrella sat a large man wearing armor and a bronze helmet.
"This must be the Marquis Zheng that the people of Annan said." Yang Muyun squinted and looked up, this Marquis Zheng didn't look very old, he should not be fifty years old, different from other burly and majestic generals, Zheng Ke looked very gentle, with three locks of long hair under his chin, and a pair of slender eyes that didn't seem to reveal too fierce murderous aura, if he took off this armor, no one would associate him with the commander who led thousands of troops.
"Marquis Zheng's appearance looks very elegant." Yang Muyun said secretly in his heart.
This was the first time Yang Muyun had seen an elephant, and he was full of curiosity about this behemoth that he had only heard of in books before, with a long nose, a huge body, pointed tusks, and four thighs as thick as wooden pillars of a house that made a clattering sound when he stepped on the ground.
"Ride on this big guy and fight against people, you don't have to fight, and you trample the enemy to death when you step on it." Yang Muyun thought.
