Chapter 521: Continue on your way
"There's nothing surprising about that." Zhi Zhao had a strange expression, and said, "For the folk gangs, the imperial court has been using the six doors to adopt the method of secret checks and balances to suppress them, take Xiao Yun'er's beggar gang as an example, all over the Central Plains, with a prominent reputation, there are no less than 100,000 gangs alone, such an amazing power, how can the official family sleep in peace?" To have such a rare opportunity, the imperial court naturally wants to take advantage of the rift between Yun Wanqiu and Long Fuyi to secretly support one person and split the beggar gang, so that the northern and southern beggar gangs both regard each other as enemies, and they continue to attack and compete with each other, and it is no longer as monolithic as in the past, and the court can rest assured. ”
Cui Wenqing slapped his knee and sighed: "People say that the main means of His Majesty are checks and balances, and they can't let one family be dominant, this method is really good, I didn't expect the huge beggar gang to collapse inside, it's really different!" ”
Zhi Zhao nodded and agreed: "In the past in the Sui Dynasty, the famous general Changsun Sheng used a clever plan to split the Turks, causing the Turks to split into the Eastern and Western Turks, and he was no longer able to harm the Sui Dynasty, and the Six Gates also split the beggar gang in this way, but there are similarities, but I didn't expect Ning Zhen to become more and more brainy, and he could think of such a clever plan." ”
Cui Wenqing nodded and asked, "There is one more thing, lady, it is said that you and the head of the six doors, Ning Zhenning, seem to be at odds, and I don't know what's going on?" ”
Hearing this, Zhi Zhao laughed: "I didn't go the right way with Ning Zhen when I was young, and when I was in Guozijian, I also looked at each other unpleasantly, that girl, her competitiveness was too strong, so she kept fighting with me." ”
Cui Wenqing smiled and said: "As an enemy of the governor's lady, that chick is also stupid, but I'm afraid that I will suffer a lot of losses when I am young." ”
Zhi Zhao said with a smile: "That's right, but Ning Zhen is from a famous family, even if it's me, I can't ignore her, I heard the third uncle say that a few days ago, you had a conflict with Ning Zhen because of the six doors to search the mansion, remember not to be so reckless next time." ”
Cui Wenqing snorted disdainfully, and suddenly smiled again: "I'm not even afraid of the Dudu Lady, how can I be afraid of her Ning Zhen, speaking of which, I haven't settled accounts with that stinky little lady, if she falls into the hands of my brother Wenqing one day, it will definitely make her unforgettable." ”
As soon as he heard this, Zhi Zhao immediately couldn't cry or laugh, shook his head and ignored him.
What the two of them didn't know was that only five miles away from the mountain temple where they lived, there was a group of knights sleeping in the wilderness.
These knights were all dressed in the same color, all wearing black sara heads, black robes, red cloaks, and long and narrow swords in their hands, which were exactly the clothes of the guards of the six gates of the imperial court.
And in front of the bonfire that was constantly jumping and burning, Ning Zhen, the deputy head of the six gates, stood pretty, and said in a cold voice: "Guards, this time we were ordered by the emperor to go out of the palace to Songshan Shaolin, but to handle a secret matter for the imperial court, in order to be safe, from tomorrow, everyone will change the costumes of martial arts people, and we will be falsely called the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and I am the young master of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, I hope you must remember that you must not reveal your identity." ”
The words fell, and the eagles and dogs promised.
The first middle-aged man with two small beards and a thin body clenched his fists and said, "Chief Manager Ning, the lower officials still have a concern. ”
"Say!" Ning Zhen looked back coldly, and her gaze fell on the thin man, without a single superfluous word.
The thin man said worriedly: "Although the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is not one of the eight major sects of martial arts, it is also an authentic sect of the rivers and lakes, let's just pretend to be them to participate in the martial arts conference, if it is debunked, wouldn't it offend the martial arts people." ”
Ning Zhen explained expressionlessly: "Regarding this, Wang Zongqi doesn't have to worry, even if the people from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect are present for the martial arts conference, they will not come to expose us." ”
The general flag in Ning Zhen's mouth is the official position among the six doors.
These eagle dogs were grouped in a group of ten people, and a small flag was set up to lead the army.
The three armies are a battalion, and a general flag is set up to command the army.
An ordinary general flag official position is on the seventh grade, which is equivalent to a county order.
This time, Ning Zhen went out on a business trip, and what she brought with her was thirty eagle dogs, and this Wang Zongqi was the leader of the eagle dogs.
Hearing Ning Zhen's explanation, the thin man seemed to understand something, and said with a happy face: "Listening to Chief Manager Ning's tone, could it be that the Ten Thousand Sword Sect has already agreed to the conditions of the imperial court and secretly surrendered?" ”
Ning Zhen didn't hide it, and nodded his head to show the first smile of the day: "There is a master in charge who personally goes out, even if it is the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, I believe that it will also come down when the wind blows, there is nothing strange about it." ”
Hearing this, the Eagle Dog Guards couldn't help but be excited.
Ning Zhen snorted lightly and continued: "These rangers in the martial arts of the rivers and lakes have always been a big trouble for the imperial court, since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, there have been rangers who disturb the court and violate the law, so the rivers and lakes have always been the top priority of the imperial court, which is also the purpose of the imperial court to set up six doors. ”
The eagle dogs knew that this deputy chief Ning was a celebrity around the official family, and with her words, as long as they achieved merit, they would naturally be able to reach the heavens, and for a while, the eagle dogs couldn't help but shout.
In the early morning of the next day, Cui Wenqing and Zhi Zhao extinguished the bonfire and set off, and galloped onto the official road.
In the early winter, the cold wind on the Henan Plain is as cold as a knife, and the forests are bleak everywhere, walking along the official road, except for a long line of ox cart convoys traveling together, there are almost no passers-by.
The two didn't say much, just buried their heads and hurried on their horses, and only in the afternoon did they get off the official road and come to a small river to rest.
The cobblestone floor of the river, mixed with dead wood and withered grass, looks desolate under the swaying of the north wind.
The river flowed through it, twisting and turning like a line, and I don't know where it went.
Zhe Zhao turned off the horse's back, immediately untied the horse's coat, and fed the horse with horse feed.
The Chiyun horse she rode was raised by her since she was a child, and her feelings were extremely generous, and at this time, Chiyun Ju affectionately rubbed Zhao's arm with the horse's head, and her coquettish feelings were overflowing.
As for the dark horse that Cui Wenqing was riding, it was much more perverse, and he was not affectionate to Cui Wenqing at all, nor was he at all interested in the beans and horse materials he was holding, so he shook his head and went to gnaw on the rotten grass roots by the river.
Seeing this, Cui Wenqing had no choice but to shake his head helplessly, obviously helpless, and the Zhi Zhao next to him couldn't help but laugh when he saw this.
At this time, I suddenly heard the sound of a bell in the early morning, and a burst of incense suddenly wafted in the air, enveloping Cui Wenqing and Zhe Zhao, and the fragrance was indescribably breathtaking.
