Soon after dawn the next day, the old dean entered the palace again, with two entourages by his side, one was a scholar who looked elegant and gentle in his forties, and the other was a scholar who looked sixteen or seventeen years old...... It's still that good-looking.

At this time, Shen Leng's fleet had already entered the Hesu Road, eight Fubo, two willow warblers, an iron rhino and one Wanjun, and twelve boats were enough to have a mighty momentum, and the fishermen would stop to watch when they saw it, waving the things in their hands to greet the soldiers.

The people of Daning have never been afraid of their own soldiers, and the people of the Tingwei Mansion don't know how to feel.

They are all soldiers, why are they so different?

This waterway has been walked back and forth is not unfamiliar, Shen Leng deliberately left a map last time, just to be prepared in the future, where did he think that he would be able to be five products so soon, Shen Leng, who had two maps, felt that Mei Zizi but others didn t understand why he was Mei Zizi.

After calculating the travel time, Shen Leng ordered the fleet to rest for one night at the Lucheng Guanbu Wharf forty miles ahead, the Grand Canal is not all artificially dug, the Grand Canal in Lucheng is a river channel borrowed from orange water, which is slightly narrower than before, and the river is more urgent, and it is really difficult to sail at night, even if Shen Leng brings big ships.

Lucheng official wharf is a more interesting place, just outside the water gate of Lucheng, although the river in this area is narrower, but it is the only way to turn from the Grand Canal to Su Dao, Lucheng is in the position of a waterway three-way junction, the Grand Canal is in the east of Lucheng, and then go forward for more than ten miles is the most dangerous but also the most important Sanjianghui, the Grand Canal, Orange Water, Jiuluo River.

After crossing the Sanjianghui Grand Canal, it is not the Orange Water River that goes straight south, and the Orange Water turns into the Jiuluo River at the Sanjianghui River and goes southeast.

This also creates the prosperity of Lucheng, Lucheng is more special in that this is the only city that never sleeps in Daning, even at night, the water gate of Lucheng is not closed, and the merchants can enter Lucheng to rest, so that the restaurant, casino, green building and other places on the main street in Lucheng are day and night, the prosperity here is slightly deformed, but it can bring a little relaxation to the people on the shipping road.

In order to save money, most of the time they eat and live on the boat, and they can save some money, and there is no Qinglou casino at the official dock on the waterway.

Lucheng is a good place, the people are beautiful and the water is beautiful, the guests in the past all say so, and some people say that the people are beautiful and the water is beautiful and say one thing, some people smile obscenely, and some people are at a loss.

The sailor's southward movement is a major event, and the emperor's will has been spread to the world to require the cooperation of the local government along the way, especially the official supplement wharf, no matter when the sailor's ship arrives, the warehouse door must be opened immediately to provide supplies.

Lucheng is under the rule of Yangcheng County, Hesu Dao, according to the official system of Daning, the Taoist is the second product, Daning was from the second product when the country was first established, and then gradually turned to the second product, the county is under the county guard, for the third product, the county guard is the state capital, from the fourth product, the state capital is under the county order, the county order is six products in the big county, and the county order is seven products in the small county, which is the basic composition of the local officials in Daning.

Therefore, soon after learning that the sailor warship docked at the official dock, Lucheng County ordered Xu Mubai to bring his officials to greet him, Lucheng is a big county, but his official position is lower than Shen Leng, and when he met, he wanted to call himself an official.

Everyone walked into the city, and it didn't take long to walk from the water gate to the lights, and the lights on both sides of the street made people's eyes widen, Chen Ran looked left and right, and the girls who stood at the door and beckoned to him were more attractive than one another, Chen Ran only felt that he had entered the fox's den.

Shen Leng saw that he was distraught and patted him on the shoulder: "What do you think!" ”

Chen Ran sighed with emotion: "There are fox spirits all around! ”

"So what?"

"I want to be a hunter!"

“......”

Xu Mubai, who was next to him, hurriedly said: "If Chen Tuan is interested, this official can arrange it for you." ”

Chen Ran: "Is this a local characteristic......

Xu Mubai laughed: "Chen Tuan is really good at laughing...... What do you think of the prosperity of my deer city? I'm afraid it's not much better than Chang'an City, Daning Waterway Cities, if you talk about splendor, my Lucheng should be the first. ”

Chen Ran always felt that this person was a little exaggerated, but people naturally couldn't say anything nonsense about their warm hospitality.

Xu Mubai invited Shen Leng and others to a banquet in the largest restaurant in Lucheng, Shen Leng ordered no one to drink before he came, Xu Mubai felt bored, and found some girls who sang songs, Shen Leng looked at those girls with fluttering eyes, and seemed to be slightly afraid, thinking that the military uniforms on the Daning soldiers were really an artifact to ward off evil spirits, and the bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods did not dare to approach when they wore this armor uniform, so why be afraid of any fox spirit.

Shen Leng didn't like this kind of hypocritical enthusiasm very much, and he was going back to the official dock after eating with his subordinates, Chen Ran said that Shen Leng agreed to let them go out for a walk but not for more than half an hour, Chen Ran looked disgusted, and shouted at Wang Kuohai and Dewey to go out, Wang Gendong returned to the fleet in advance, Shen Leng was only left with Gu Le, Yang Qibao was ordered to be on duty, but he didn't enjoy the beautiful atmosphere tonight.

There were only three people left in the private room of the restaurant, Xu Mubai and Shen Leng Gule, Xu Mubai assigned all his subordinates to entertain Chen Ran, and the atmosphere in this private room was a little cold and embarrassing.

"The general is young and famous, although the lower officials have heard a lot in Lucheng, I have thought several times that it would be good if I had the fate to see the general, and I also felt the general's demeanor, and I ...... today."

Before he finished his words, Shen Leng shook his head with a smile: "If Lord Xu has anything, just say it, there are still a lot of military affairs in the water division, and after listening to what the Lord says, I will rush back to arrange the disposal, and I will set sail early tomorrow morning without delay." ”

"It's so urgent."

Xu Mubai said with some regret: "Actually, Xia Guan really wants to treat General Shen on behalf of my Lucheng fathers and fellow villagers, when the general went south to Haijiang to grab a few warships, he passed through Lucheng back and forth but never had the chance to see him, I have nothing else to ask for, I just want to toast the general with a glass of wine." ”

Shen Leng snorted: "Thank you, Lord Xu, it's just that you can't drink alcohol when you are marching, this is an iron law in the army, I am the pioneer officer of the sailor going south, and I should lead by example." ”

"Not just a drink?"

Xu Mubai's face sank slightly: "Could it be that the general thinks that this spring flower brew in my Lucheng is not worthy of the general?" ”

Shen Leng frowned slightly: "Why does Lord Xu have to let me drink?" ”

"My Lucheng treats guests like this, if we don't drink, it seems that we are not well treated."

Gu Le said in a cold tone behind Shen Leng: "The general said that if you don't drink, you won't drink, Lord Xu is so embarrassed, isn't there something in this wine?" ”

Xu Mubai laughed: "You mean I want to harm General Shen?" ”

His face suddenly turned cold, and he slapped the table with a snap: "I really have that kind of thought, General Shen doesn't know, Xia Guan is also an old protégé of the pavilion, I salute you with a glass of wine, it should be a severed head wine." ”

Shen Leng became more and more relaxed: "It seems that this wine is really clean." ”

Xu Mubai said proudly: "I regard the elder of the pavilion as a father, but that is a private affair, as a local official in Daning, I should do my duty to entertain the general, and I still disdain to poison the wine, but if the general is really the murderer of Mu Gongzi, I am afraid that the general will naturally be upset." ”

After finishing speaking, he brushed his sleeves away, but he did have a bit of backbone.

Gu Le looked at the wine glass in front of Shen Leng, and Shen Leng shook his head slightly: "There will be no problem in the wine." ”

Gu Le snorted: "I felt that something was wrong with this person at the beginning, but since he showed his identity, he wouldn't really do anything out of the ordinary, but Chen Tuan led them out, will there be anything?" ”

Shen Leng shook his head: "No." ”

Not long after Chen Ran and the others came back, Chen Ran lowered his voice in Shen Leng's ear and said: "There is no ambush around, this Xu Mubai is really a good person, and fortunately, General Wang knows that he is Mu Zhaotong's protégé and woke up in advance, otherwise he may not fall for that guy's way." ”

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horns in the distance, it was a warning from the sailor, Shen Leng frowned slightly, and said in his heart that it would be difficult for this Xu Mubai to dare to do something against the sailor's fleet.

Coming out of the restaurant with people, the originally lively street was empty, and then looking into the distance, with the help of the lights, you can vaguely see that the iron gate of the water gate of Lucheng has fallen, and the city that never sleeps has actually closed the door.

Not far away, Xu Mubai appeared on the street with a white gauze wrapped around his arm and a long knife in his hand, and there was no one around him except him.

"Don't look at it."

Xu Mubai said loudly: "I have dismissed my subordinates just now, what I want to do has nothing to do with them, I have also taken off my official uniform, at this time standing in front of you is not Lord Xu of Lucheng County but Xu Mubai, the old protégé of the pavilion, I know that you are coming to send your family away in advance, and you have already written a suicide note, I have long heard that you are brave and martial, and I expect that I can't easily kill you as a scholar, but I also practiced martial arts to strengthen my body when I was studying, and I am still a little sure that I will die with you." ”

He strode forward: "Shen Leng, do you dare to fight with me?" ”

Gu Le was about to step forward, but Shen Leng stopped Gu Le, ordered him not to come up, and then walked towards Xu Mubai alone.

Xu Mubai suddenly screamed, waved the knife and rushed towards Shen Leng, seeing the knife falling, Shen Leng punched Xu Mubai's nose, this punch hit Xu Mubai with a lot of meat and eight vegetarians, the person turned back and hit his head on the ground, and he was so drowsy that he couldn't get up.

Shen Leng picked up the knife that had fallen to the ground and looked at it, holding the handle of the knife with one hand and the blade of the knife with the other, and broke the long knife with a snap of both arms and threw it on the ground.

"It's not good to be your official, what kind of knife to take."

Shen Leng shouted loudly as he walked forward: "Listen up, I can treat this incident as if it didn't happen, and open the iron gate honestly, I won't mention this matter after tonight, your Lord Xu will still be your Lord Xu......"

Shen Leng looked back at Xu Mubai: "I also heard of you a long time ago, set rules for the casino Qinglou, set rules for the vendors, don't bully outsiders, don't cheat, don't force you to buy and sell, find out the life experience of every girl in the Qinglou to prevent forced prostitution, even the wine sold in the wine shop must also be registered and recorded, you Xu Mubai magistrate do this, I say I admire." ”

"A man can be stupid once, for the sake of fear in his heart, and not to be stupid a second time."

Shen Leng beckoned, and his subordinates immediately followed and walked towards the iron gate.

Chen Ran shouted at the top of his voice: "Do you want to see your Lord Xu being beheaded all over the house?" ”

The iron gate creaked, Shen Leng suddenly went back, squatted beside Xu Mubai and said: "I have also heard that your family is poor and young to study is funded by university scholars, you are going to kill me worthy of your conscience, and the next thing is to be worthy of your official uniform, worthy of the people of Lucheng entrusted to you by Your Majesty." ”

After finishing speaking, Shen Leng got up and walked back: "I can't remember this matter, don't be an idiot to mention it yourself, if you are stupid enough to publicize it yourself, I have to kill you to protect your whole family." ”()
