Large and small boats stopped near the wharf, and the townspeople of Changshui Town gathered around the wharf, looking at the officers and soldiers who were lining up to board the ship.

In just one night and half a day, Changshui Town's attitude towards this official army has completely turned around, Bao Tafang and a few scholars are greeting Qian Yuan and He Xinyin, many people are curiously gathered over, and there are even young children running around the queue laughing.

"Military discipline is so strict, no wonder it can win repeatedly." Bao Tafang sighed that it is very dangerous for ordinary people to enter the town, and the simplest thing is that the people need to vacate their houses...... And last night the officers and soldiers were camping outside.

Last night, there was a quarrel between the official army and the township Yong, and then a big fight, Qian Yuan was not relentless, four Yiwu soldiers, two Qian family guards, and five Songjiang soldiers were all beaten by the board and couldn't get up today, and the generals of the various armies had nothing to say, and the two Qian family guards played ten more boards.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Qian Yuan arched his hand and said: "When I entered Beijing the year after tomorrow, Brother Ziliu went straight to Suiyuan." ”

Although Bao Tafang was calm, the hand he offered trembled slightly, Jiaxing Bao is not an ordinary family, Bao Tafang's deceased father and ancestor have produced three jinshi, and he knows the weight of this sentence very well.

With a long tune, dozens of boats went down the river and headed in the direction of Haining, He Xinyin said in a low voice: "Seeing the big with the small, this bun willow has some management methods, and Zhancai is happy to see the hunting?" ”

Qian Yuan glanced at He Xinyin with a smile, patted his belly, and turned around and left after only saying a word, "Although Qian is young, he is a gentleman. ”

Although He Xinyin has no fame, he is a master of science and has a wide range of experience, but he didn't understand this sentence, and looked at a few people around him after being stunned.

Wu Chengqi, Qi Jimei and Lu Bin were also inexplicable, only Hou Jigao, who had studied since he was a child, and who knew Qian Yuan's temperament quite well, coughed twice, "Show your talent and speak of a gentleman...... So, this is the belly of a gentleman. ”

Wu Chengqi, Qi Jimei and others were stunned and laughed desperately, He Xin shook his sleeves and left with a dark face...... Your Qian Zhancai's belly is the belly of a gentleman, so why do I hide this heart is the heart of a villain?!

Under the autumn wind, the ship sailed quite fast, and at dusk it had arrived in Haining County, Qian Yuan had already read the map, and also consulted Bao Tafang, and chose to get off the boat and settle down in Xiechuan Town.

Glancing at the oblique bridge on the Luotang River, Qian Yuan casually asked, "Diagonal bridge?" ”

"That's right, this Xiechuan Town is also called Xieqiao Town." Changshui Township, who followed the boat, responded, "Master Qian is really a showman, and he knows everything about the world without going out...... Oh, no, Master Qian is a Wenqu star, and he has been awarded the Jinshi! ”

Qian Yuan smiled and threw a silver horn over, "Those brothers who stayed in Changshui Town still want to take care of you." ”

"Don't worry!" Xiang Yongxi responded with a smile, turned around and secretly bit the silver horn.

Xieqiao Town and Changshui Town are not managed from above, and no one is under management, and only rely on local wang clans and clan elders to manage, which is also the so-called "imperial power is not under the county".

However, the battle at dusk yesterday made Changshui Town bow down, and Bao Tafang's Yue family is the Li family of Xieqiao Town, and there are two people, and the relevant matters have been arranged, and the officers and soldiers from all walks of life have entered the town in an orderly manner to rest everywhere.

However, Qian Yuan didn't have time to rest, he immediately asked Lu Bin to send out scouts to find out the news, and asked the Qian family guards to find out the locals to investigate, summarize the news and try to find out the situation near Tongxiang County.

"There's all the news." Liang Sheng wiped his mouth, "It is said that the city of Hangzhou is broken, that the governor has been captured, and that all the Shaoxing mansions have fallen, and some people even say that Lord Zhongcheng was also killed by the Japanese invaders......"

Lu Bin sneered at the hut not far away, there were four soldiers guarding the door of the house, just two days after coming out of Chongde County, Ruan Yu's beard was white, and he looked old.

"It is impossible for Hangzhou to break the city." Qian Yuan shook his head, "If Hangzhou is breached, no matter what, there will be a messenger from the Governor's Palace, which should refer to the rout of the general soldier Liu Yuan." ”

I don't know what the imperial court thinks, and sent Liu Yuan, Henan to Zhejiang to be the chief military officer, this is a hereditary guard officer, and at most he has the merit of fighting bandits, one has no military strategy, two has no deterrence, and three has no courage.

The first news that Qian Yuan and his entourage heard after settling in Xieqiao Town was that three days ago, Liu Yuan, the chief soldier of Zhejiang, led his troops out of the city to help Tongxiang...... In fact, Tongxiang is not far from Hangzhou.

But the official army had just come out of Beixinguan, and a group of three or four hundred Japanese invaders had settled in Linping Mountain, and before they could engage in the battle, Hangzhou avant-garde repeated its old skills and took the lead in escaping, but Liu Yuan reacted more than Qi Jimei two years ago, and immediately turned around and galloped.

In this way, the official army was defeated, but three or four hundred Japanese robbers pursued all the way, if it were not for the Zhejiang patrol according to Wu Baipeng's response, I was afraid that the Japanese would break through the city of Hangzhou......

In this regard, Qian Yuan can only say that in the chaos in the southeast, so many civil and military heroes can emerge, but it can also make those goods that look like people and dogs be exposed.

He Xinyin looked at the map and said: "I left Shangyu in order to hurry, there was no detour, I went directly from Shaoxing Mansion, a small group of Japanese robbers is rampant, but most of them are stragglers, Xu Hai's main force is still in Jiaxing, and the general Liu Xian is not a mediocre general......"

"Regardless of them, let's just take care of the affairs of Jiaxing Mansion." Qian Yuan interrupted with a sneer, but then changed his words: "No, there is also Huzhou Mansion." ”

Qian Yuan stretched out his index finger and pointed at Wangjiangjing, Saolin, Wuzhen, Nanxun, Lianshi and other places, his fingers hesitated to move left and right, not sure where Xu Hai's main force would be?

You must know that once these more than 1,000 soldiers meet Xu Hai's main force...... Qian Yuan didn't think that his fate would be much better than Lu Bo.

"Xu Hai invaded Jiaxing Mansion, but it was Huzhou Qingzhuang who actually plundered." He Xinyin has discussed with Qian Yuan in the past few days, and after converging the information, he also agrees with this point of view, "Xu Hai may not invade Huzhou Mansion deeply, and he must consider the return trip." ”

"I'm afraid that he will play again." Lu Bin smiled bitterly: "Two years ago, I wiped everyone out. ”

"According to the distance, it will take about two days to go to Tongxiang County." Qian Yuan said slowly: "Don't be in a hurry to set off, send more scouts tomorrow, a group of five, all with horses, from the ......"

Qian Yuan's fingers moved to the vicinity of Haining and drew a half-circle, from Kipshi Town and Chang'an Town in the south to Shitang Bay and Tongxiang County in the west.

Finally, he nodded his finger at Tongxiang, and Qian Yuan asked, "Who is in charge of the city now?" ”

"It should be the Shandong guest soldiers guerrilla Jiang Xuan." Lu Bin replied: "This person has a stable temperament, and his soldiers are quite effective in defending the city. ”

"You are in charge of the scouts sent to Tongxiang, and it is best to contact them."

Qian Yuan withdrew his hand, but his eyes fell on the city of Hangzhou, although Liu Yuan was an idiot, but Wu Baipeng, the governor of Zhejiang, was not, he had a strategy, courage and knowledge, he might be able to help.

Wuzhen, a hundred miles away from Xiechuan Town, the famous Jiangnan Ancient Town in later generations is almost half destroyed, the smoke pillar that rises is not cooking smoke, the clear river water can see the clear blood color, and there is a corpse lying on the railing of the quaint small bridge.

Tan Wei looked at the corpse in a daze, it was killed by him with a knife, and the right hand holding the handle of the knife was bruised, he didn't expect that even if he sent the news, the officials and soldiers would be so vulnerable, and there was nothing they could do with Xu Hai.

Maybe I should be more direct, didn't that nephew once say that Xu Hai's life and death greatly affected the scale and strength of the Japanese invasion?

"Big brother!" One of his subordinates strode over and happily held up the box in his hand, "That Zhishi's Jinshi actually has a lot of good things at home!" ”

Tan Wei flipped through it casually, but there were some good things, including a pair of Wen Zhengming's calligraphy and Shen Zhou's landscape paintings.

A stout young man on the side took the box, smiled and chatted a few words to send the person away, and said in a low voice: "The young master has explained, and I ask Mr. not to risk the assassination." ”

Tan Wei's expression moved, and he seemed to smile and said: "Brother Yuan'er has trained a group of good subordinates. ”

"The villain is stupid, he only knows how to do what he is told." Zhou Ji replied softly.

"What then?" Tan Wei gritted his teeth and shouted, "Just like this, I watched Xu Hai go away with Qingzhuang...... This time, at least three or four thousand young people were coerced by it! ”

Zhou Ji put away his smile, bowed expressionlessly and said, "Even if Mr. wants to assassinate, he must get the permission of the young master." ”

Tan Wei stared at Zhou Ji for a while, and walked away with a gloomy face.

Zhou Ji breathed a sigh of relief and followed behind, Qian Yuan had explained to him that he must save Tan Wei's life, let alone expose Tan Wei's identity.

For Tan Wei's chess piece, Qian Yuan had deeper considerations. (Recommended reading: Reading Files 2013)
