Fan Sanpang fell in love with the hammer girl, but the hammer girl put forward two conditions, as long as Fan Sanpang could do it, she agreed to marry Fan Sanpang.

After listening to the conditions of the hammer girl, Fan Sanpang felt that the first condition could not be fulfilled in his life no matter what. So he pinned his hope on the second condition and tried to help her rescue her father.

However, with Fan Sanpang's own strength, he also knows that it is not easy to rescue the father of the hammer girl, and in the end, he still needs to rely on Xiao Ding's official background to have hope. It's just that what Fan Sanpang is worried about is that if she relies on Xiaoding to rescue her father, what will the hammer girl do if she doesn't accept her love? If she thinks that it is Xiao Ding's strength and has nothing to do with herself, then won't she have no hope of marrying her at all?

Although she didn't know how Fan Sanpang planned to save her, she thought that Xiao Ding was a general, and Fan Sanpang was with Xiao Ding, so she guessed that he might really have the ability to rescue her father, so she also said with certainty: "If you can really help me rescue my father, I will really marry you." ”

Xiao Ding saw that the hammer girl finally relented, so he interjected and said, "Okay, then let's settle it like this first." After speaking, he looked at Fan Sanpang meaningfully, and then continued, "It seems that Brother Fan still has to work harder." ”

Fan Sanpang turned his head to look at Xiao Ding, and when he saw his playful eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little weak in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Brother Xiao Ding, it's not been a day or two since we met, you have to help me with this!" You can't just let it go! ”

Xiao Ding smiled and nodded to him, and said, "Don't worry, I will try my best to match the two of you." ”

When the matter was settled, Hammer Girl went back to her room. Everyone else left.

In Xiao Ding's room, there were only two people, himself and the civet cat.

The civet cat looked at Xiao Ding, and then asked, "Do you really plan to match the two of them?" ”

Xiao Ding nodded and said, "Yes, both of them are a little ugly, and it may be difficult to find a good-looking partner." It's better to let the two of them fight each other, not to mention that Brother Fan still fell in love with the hammer girl at first sight. ”

The civet cat said worriedly: "I think that after the two of them get together, they will fight, and it may not be easy to get along with each other." ”

"It's not that enemies don't get together, after a long time, it's good to find the right way for the two of them to get along." Xiao Ding said disapprerovingly.

"And you're going to take Hammer Girl with you tomorrow?" The civet asked.

"Bring it, it's all the same way anyway, and it doesn't matter much if you have one more her." Xiao Ding said nonchalantly.

"Are you really going to help her save her father?" The civet asked.

"Naturally, I won't go back to Namajiatuozi Town to help her, but anyway, I also want to find the Yangzhou Zhizhou to do something, and by the way, I just mention it to the Zhizhou." Xiao Ding replied.

The civet nodded, and said no more.

Early the next morning, everyone set off on the road, and Xiao Ding also took the hammer girl on the road by the way.

Everyone continued to come to the pier of Jiangning City to take a boat together.

The next stop is Kyoguchi Castle. Wang Anshi of the Song Dynasty in the poem "Jingkou Guazhou Yishui" refers to this place. The location of this Jingkou City is the location of Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province in later generations. However, during the Song Dynasty in history, it was renamed Zhenjiang. However, in the era that Xiao Ding traveled through, this place is still called Jingkou.

After arriving at Jingkou, go to the north bank, take the dry road, and go north less than a hundred miles away, you can reach Yangzhou City.

Moreover, the boat ride from Jiangning to Jingkou is not too far. Although the speed of the boat was slower in this era, it usually took less than a day to reach the entrance of the city.

After boarding the ship, everyone booked their own cabins. Fan Sanpang was always and went to the Hammer Girl's cabin when he had nothing to do. Hammer Girl stared at him countless times, but he still died unrepentant.

Xiao Ding saw Fan Sanfat's dead pig appearance who was not afraid of boiling water, and he also thought that these two people were very funny. However, the two did not fight again today.

No matter how the hammer girl used her words to ridicule Fan Sanpang, Fan Sanpang always remembered what Xiaoding told him before: "Do you still want to marry a daughter-in-law?" The implication of this sentence is that if you want to marry a daughter-in-law, you must learn to be obedient and don't always work against others.

Fan Sanpang understood the true meaning of this sentence, so he did not respond to what the hammer girl said. You love to be sarcastic, I don't have a stubble.

Therefore, when Iron Hammer saw that Fan Sanpang had always been honest today, she looked like she was beating and scolding, so she had no reason to want to fight with him.

The others were not as idle and bored as Fan Sanpang, and rushed to find and be scolded. Most of the people are cats sleeping in their cabins. Or practice and study the exercises like Xiao Ding.

It was not yet evening, and the ship had docked. Everyone got off the boat and walked up to the pier of Kyoguchi Castle.

In fact, this Jingkou City is located on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and the wharf where the ferry docks is also on the south bank of the Yangtze River. Therefore, if Xiao Ding and his party want to go to Yangzhou, they still need to cross the Yangtze River to the north bank.

However, although it was not yet evening at this time, it was not much time before dark, so Xiao Ding decided to find a place to live in this Jingkou City first. It's not too late to cross the river north and go north to Yangzhou City tomorrow morning.

Anyway, he came here this time to prepare for the formation of a naval army, and he was not in a hurry, and it would not be a big problem if he was a day or two late.

So, everyone entered Jingkou City and found an inn to live and rest.

There was no word all night, and early the next morning, everyone crossed the river by boat and went straight to Yangzhou City.

At this point, the two wagons they brought with them came in handy. Men ride one, women ride one. Sun Dasheng and Fan Sanpang drove the car respectively.

However, if you want to reach Yangzhou by car, it will take at least more than a day. Xiao Ding They were not in a hurry, so they did not drive the carriage too fast.

In the middle of the way, they will also take a little rest from time to time, eat something, and solve internal emergencies or something.

Therefore, it was not until the afternoon of the next day that everyone rushed to Yangzhou City.

This Yangzhou city is also the prosperous and splendid capital of the Great Song Kingdom, and has always been a place where talented and beautiful people gather and businessmen gather. Not only is the scenery beautiful here, but also its wealth and prosperity are far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

From the fact that there are more talented and beautiful people in Yangzhou, you can see the wealth here. After all, in this era, people who can afford to read books are basically either rich or expensive. In ordinary toiling families, children cannot afford to read. Just the pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc., in this era, are not affordable for ordinary people, not to mention the cost of books, which are very expensive things.

Therefore, in a barren land, there will not be so many talented and beautiful people.

After the two carriages of Xiao Ding and his entourage entered Yangzhou City, they drove directly to the Zhizhou Mansion in the center of the city.

The name of Yangzhou Zhizhou is Kuang Wenbin, who entered the road of official career through the scientific examination of the imperial court. At first, he worked as a small official in Nakashu, Kyoto, and later became acquainted with Zhao Mingdeng, the son of the former prime minister Zhao Shisun, who was also a civil official with little real power at that time.

However, the civil officials who served in the Hanlin Academy had the advantage that if there was a vacancy in the imperial court, the emperor would be transferred from the Hanlin Yuan at any time. In other words, the civil officials who work every day in the Hanlin Academy are equivalent to substitute officials, and if they have the opportunity, they can also soar to the sky.

Although this Kuang Wenbin is a literati, he is proficient in the world, and after meeting Zhao Mingdeng, he immediately tried his best to climb this line, so not long after, under Zhao Mingdeng's good words, Kuang Wenbin was soon transferred to the Hanlin Academy.

Although he still had some small rights as a minor official before, he was still more optimistic about this position without authority in the Hanlin Academy.

As it turned out, he was right.

It didn't take long for the original Zhizhou here in Yangzhou to return to his hometown due to illness, and the position of this Zhizhou was vacant.

Kuang Wenbin was transferred to Yangzhou by the emperor to be the governor because he had served as a petty official before.

This position of Zhizhou, if it is in Kyoto, is only a petty official of the fifth rank or from the fifth rank. It's only one or two levels bigger than the Qipin County Order. But at the local level, it is the highest local chief executive. It is equivalent to the official position of the governor in later generations.

There are a total of sixteen states in the Great Song Dynasty, and there are only sixteen of them in total. For the common people, this Zhizhou is the biggest official in an administrative district.

On this day, Kuang Wenbin was handling official business in the Zhizhou Mansion, when suddenly a guard at the door came to report that the head of the sailor soldiers and horses sent from Kyoto had come to ask for a meeting.

As soon as Kuang Wenbin heard it, he immediately remembered the name of Tian Xiaoding, the protector of the country.

Kuang Wenbin has long known about Xiao Ding's name, and he has already heard of Xiao Ding's name when he defeated the king of Jiaozhou in Jiaozhou and Jiangzhou. Later, the overthrow of the usurper emperor Song Yinding seems to have been done by this protector.

As soon as the new emperor Song Yinzi ascended the throne, he named him the protector of the country, and he was envious of how many civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty.

As a member of the party, how could Kuang Wenbin not inquire about the affairs of Beijing?

Therefore, as soon as he heard that he was the head of the Sailor Division, he immediately thought of the news that Xiao Ding had asked for an official position before. So, he immediately personally led other local officials to go out to greet Xiao Ding and the others.
