After lunch, Song Zheng asked Xiao Yuan about the situation of the Jiangning Imperial City Division. Xiaoyuan is Li Hongniang's personal ring, and Li Hongniang knows almost everything that Xiaoyuan knows.

The entire Gyeonggi Province is centered on Gangningfu, with the Yangtze River in the north, Lishui in the south, Danyang in the east, and Wujiang in the west. Although the area is not too large, because it is the location of the capital of Daqi, it has a large population and high-ranking officials are all over the street. Therefore, the Jiangning Imperial City Division has also gathered more than 300 good players. One hundred and fifty of them were standing armed men, and the rest were hidden in the market in various capacities. They are either officials of the Great Qi, or figures in the army, or underworld leaders, or shop owners, etc., and their identities are complicated.

It was these people who supported the entire intelligence network of the Imperial City Division. This information, based on the situation reported in the early days, was gathered in the Imperial City Division, and after being streamlined by the Imperial City Division, it was handed over to the upper striker, that is, Jiang Kui, the deputy commander of the Imperial City Division. The same is true for other Jiangnan roads.

If Li Hongniang or Jiang Kui wanted a certain aspect of the situation, in addition to contacting the nearest secretary of the Imperial City Division, they would also send special personnel to personally investigate.

In order to facilitate the collection of intelligence, the Imperial City Division has more than ten strongholds in Jiangning City. Some of these strongholds are residential compounds, while others use shops, restaurants and even brothels as cover. The place where Li Hongniang recuperated from her injuries was one of the strongholds, and it was also Li Hongniang's usual residence, guarded by four Imperial City secretaries, including Zhu Jian and Hu Qiang. However, due to Li Hongniang's injury, the number of guards increased to ten.

In the Jiangning Imperial City Division, in addition to the Grand Commander Li Hongniang, there is also a Deputy Commander Shen Dekun who is in charge of the Torture Hall. After Li Hongniang's accident, Shen Dekun was appointed by Jiang Kui to temporarily act as the commander.

After learning about the situation of the Imperial City Division in general, Song Zheng came to the adjacent West Courtyard and met with Zhu Jian, Hu Qiang and other secretaries. The two were brought by Li Hongniang from Shandong Road, so they are naturally absolute confidants. Now, Li Hongniang's safety is the responsibility of the two of them and other secret guards. Of course, if there is a special task, Li Hongniang will send the two out to be completely relieved.

Hu Qiang had already met before, and the two were very happy to meet Zhu Jian this time. Zhu Jian introduced Song Zheng to other secret soldiers, and Song Zheng smiled and gave up his hands to be the eldest brother. Through Hu Qiang's mouth, these secret soldiers didn't know what kind of character Song Zheng was, and they didn't dare to underestimate this teenage boy.

After talking for a while, Song Zheng said, "Big brothers, I still have to go home to see, let's talk about it another day." ”

Everyone clasped their fists and saluted, and Huzi naturally followed. Huzi's apparent identity is Song Zheng's domestic servant.

"What's going on in the past two days?" On the way back, Song Zheng said in a deep voice.

"No, Brother Ying hasn't come again, but Brother Xiao Zhen has come to say goodbye to Commander Li, saying that he is going back to Tokyo." Yingji and Xiao Zhen both have military ranks, and ordinary secretaries, including Madoka, are all referred to as generals, but since everyone has been born and died in Dajin, Huzi and Erhei both call him the eldest brother.

"Did Big Brother talk about the fight?"

"Shouldn't be, I asked Ming'er about it, Big Brother Xiao came and went in a hurry, as if there was something urgent, and he said a few words to Commander Li and then left."

Song Zheng felt strange in his heart, could it be that Yingji and Li Yuanzhen had already competed? According to Yingji, Yingji had asked Li Yuanzhen to fight on the fifth day of November, but he had to wait for Li Yuanzhen's reply. In other words, the timing of the fight was not finalized. Song Zheng wasn't sure if the two had really fought.

However, for this fight, Song Zheng did not expect Yingji to really be able to kill Li Yuanzhen. Judging from Li Hongniang's injury process, Li Yuanzhen, nicknamed "Crazy Camel", is definitely an excellent master. Although Yingji's martial arts skills are extraordinary, he may not be able to defeat Li Yuanzhen. According to Song Zheng's estimate, the kung fu of the two should be almost the same.

A master like Eiji is very important to both the Imperial City Division and the Juniper. Xiao Hui will not let Yingji fight for his life with Li Yuanzhen. Song Zheng deduced that Xiao Hui agreed to let Yingji make a move, on the one hand, to fight for breath, and on the other hand, to let Yingji go to the bottom of Li Yuanzhen. The "wild camel" of Western Xia, which has always rarely appeared in the Central Plains, suddenly appeared in Jiangning and hooked up with the dark eagle, which is very suspicious in itself.

If Li Yuanzhen really has any "mission", from Song Zheng's point of view, Li Yuanzhen's blatant appearance means that this mission has failed. His unusual appearance is no secret to a top master like Yingji who is familiar with the rivers and lakes.

So, what's next? Song Zheng is not very easy to judge. However, this kind of thing is up to the Imperial City Division to worry about, what he has to do is to find an opportunity to kill Li Yuanzhen. In order to achieve this goal, Song Zheng does not mind being black-handed.

While pondering, Song Zheng ran in the direction of the Jiangning Academy, followed by Huzi. In less than half an hour, Song Zheng returned home.

Outside the gate of the Song Mansion, two carriages were parked, and it seemed that there were guests visiting. Song Zheng didn't care, with Song Jue's current status, there were few guests, which was not normal.

Entering the courtyard, Xiao Si greeted him, "Young Master, why are you back?" ”

"A guest at home?"

"It's my aunt's family who is here, and they are talking to the old lady in the main room."

"Auntie?" Song Zheng was stunned in his heart, and then he suddenly remembered that his aunt Song Huan married into a family surnamed Jiangning Fang a few years ago. Many years ago, Song Huan also went to Songjiazhuang to return to Ning once. However, Song Zheng's memory is already very vague.

Now, there are four Song Jue brothers and sisters, except for the fourth brother Song Huang, whose whereabouts are unknown, the other three are in Jiangning.

Song Zheng knows very little about this aunt. Songjiazhuang is very remote, and I don't know why my aunt was able to marry from Songjiazhuang to Jiangning. Song Zheng didn't hear Song Jue talk about this topic.

Song Zheng did not go to visit his parents immediately, but went to his room at the back of the main house, and under the service of Ser'er, he changed his clothes and freshened up before going to the front room. Song Jue is a solemn person and extremely disgusted with untidy clothes. As a generation of "Confucian thieves", Song Zheng is also very concerned about his appearance.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw Song Jue sitting on the right seat of the table, and a middle-aged man with a round forehead and a fat body sitting on the right side. Under Song Jue, Zhu was talking to a woman who was nearly forty years old, and next to him was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl in yellow. And under the fat middle-aged man, a ten-year-old fat scholar sat very respectfully.

As soon as Song Zheng entered the house, everyone's eyes lit up. The young man in front of him was dressed in white, with a tall figure, a straight back and broad shoulders, a high nose and a square mouth, and dark eyes.

"Zheng'er, why are you back?" Zhu Shi hurriedly stood up.

Song Zheng bowed down and was about to bow down, but was held up by Zhu. Song Jue waved his hand on it, "Zheng'er, come and see your uncle." Then he said to the fat middle-aged man, "This is the dog Song Zheng, and people outside generally call him Xiaolang." ”

"Meet my uncle, aunt." Song Zheng bent down to salute.

The fat middle-aged man is Song Zheng's uncle Fang Jingui. The fat scholar is his cousin Fang Zongping, nineteen this year. The girl Fang Yi is the same age as Song Zheng, but she is two months younger than Song Zheng and is considered a cousin.

Fang Jingui looked Song Zheng up and down, "This is Xiaolang?" Sure enough, he is a talent, heroic and extraordinary. ”

Song Zheng was just about to say a few words of humility, but Song Huan beckoned to the side, "Zheng'er, come, let my aunt take a look." Song Zheng hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to Song Huan.

"My family, what's polite, sit down quickly. Let me take a good look. ”

Fang Yi, the girl in yellow, moved a seat outward and let Song Zheng sit down, Song Zheng smiled and nodded. The girl's face turned red and she quickly lowered her head.

Song Huan smiled and pointed to the fat scholar opposite, "This is your cousin Zongping, and next to you is your cousin Yi'er." From now on, you will be close and close. ”

Song Zheng's body was pulled by Song Huan, and it was inconvenient to get up, so he had to smile and nod to the fat scholar. The fat scholar grinned, rubbing his hands together, his face full of joy.

"I didn't expect it, I haven't seen you for ** years, Zheng'er has grown into a young man." Song Huan sighed, his face full of kindness, "I heard that it is still a civil and military person, but we have never heard of it." That's amazing. ”

Song Zheng always had a humble smile on his face, neither humble nor arrogant. This look made Fang Jingui even more surprised.

Song Huan praised it, and after asking Song Zheng about some information, Zhu was free and asked why Song Zheng came back. After Song Zheng explained, Zhu didn't ask any more.

Fang Zongping's eyes lit up, "Xiaolang, you're going to fight against people tomorrow?" ”

Song Zheng nodded. Fang Zongping was so happy that he scratched his ears and cheeks, looking restless, as if he wanted to speak and stopped.

Fang Jingui looked at his son, then at Song Zheng, and couldn't help but snort coldly, Fang Zongping stood there like an electric shock, not daring to move again. However, a pair of eyes blinked at Song Zheng.

Seeing his brother's appearance, Fang Yi next to him couldn't help but hide his mouth and smile.

"Ping'er, what's wrong?" Song Huan asked.

Fang Zongping glanced at his father, and Fang whispered, "I heard that the martial arts warrior is competing for the exam, which is extremely exciting. Those martial arts are all masters, and they are all real when they fight. There are those with knives, and there are those with guns......" Fang Zongping gestured loudly. Obviously, this is a good master.

Song Zheng frowned slightly, this Fang Zongping is so sophisticated, when he says this, aren't his parents more worried?

"It's not as serious as Cousin Zongping said." Song Zheng interrupted loudly, if he was allowed to say this again, he would have to scare his mother. "It's just a little bit of a discussion. There was only one battle between the two, and later, it was to test the ability to lead the troops, and the martial arts generally did not shoot. ”

Song Zheng explained the rules of the competition, especially emphasizing that the winner will be determined by a special person in charge.

Zhu sighed at this time.

Fang Zongping also knew that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly lowered his head.

Afraid that Fang Zongping would say something that he didn't know the importance of, Song Zheng said, "Father, mother, I will lead my cousin and cousin around the house and talk outside together." ”

Song Jue nodded. Fang Jingui said: "Dingping, get in touch with Xiaolang more, ask for advice, he is the top name in Shandong Luwen, and he is a hundred times stronger than you." ”

Fang Dingping hurriedly responded. Song Zheng led him and Fang Yi out of the house.

"Xiaolang, aren't you very good at kung fu, fast, teach me two hands." Fang Dingping rubbed his hands, looking impatient.

"What, you know kung fu too?"

"Hehe, a few tricks." Fang Dingping waved his arms, trembling all over his body. "This move is called the black tiger's heart, and this move is the white crane's bright wings."

Song Zheng laughed in his heart, but he didn't show his face.

"Is there a white crane as fat as you? I think it's a fat cat digging out its heart, and a quail shining its wings. Fang Yi looked at Song Zheng while laughing at his brother.

"Go and go, you go around by yourself, I still have to let Xiaolang teach me kung fu." Fang Dingping was dissatisfied.

The brother and sister fought for a while, and Fang Dingping insisted on letting Song Zheng teach him kung fu. Song Zheng couldn't, so he had to ask Xiao Si to go to the small building behind the Song Mansion, call Lu Yan, and let her accompany Fang Yi. ~
