Xu Lang and Xu Tianbin led the Fifth Infantry Regiment to set off.

Qin Songwang found Wang Hua again: "Principal Wang, has there been a reply to my application?" ”

Wang Hua smiled: "The joint command agrees in principle to contact Zhang Xianzhong, but you can't go." ”

"Why?" Qin Songwang looked anxious, "Of course I have to go to the suggestion I made, who will go if I don't go?" ”

"You don't have to be asked to go for what you're suggesting." Wang Hua poured a glass of water for Qin Songwang, "The joint command has studied it, Xu Lang is right, it is too dangerous, and ensuring safety is the first priority." ”

"Nothing dangerous." Qin Songwang said, "We are here to help Zhang Xianzhong, not to harm him." If Li Zicheng's power grows, Zhang Xianzhong will definitely be worried, and we will go at this time to send charcoal in the snow. ”

Wang Hua shook his head again: "It's useless for you to talk about the sky." You can't go, that's the opinion of the joint command. ”

Qin Songwang saw that Wang Hua couldn't move, so he had to stand up: "Then I'll go directly to Chairman Zhang and Xia Yang." ”

"You sit down, sit down." Wang Hua pulled Qin Songwang back, "You tell me first, why do you have to go, you have to know that it is very dangerous to go to Zhang Xianzhong." ”

"I knew there was going to be danger." Qin Songwang saw that Wang Hua's tone was a little relaxed, and sat down again, "But this idea was thought of, and I explained all the circumstances in my report to the joint command, and I made assumptions and speculations about any possibility." I don't think anyone can move Zhang Xianzhong except me. ”

"Lao Qin, I won't lie it to you." Wang Hua said, "It is precisely because the Joint Command has read your report that it agreed to contact Zhang Xianzhong, and your analysis is indeed very comprehensive." But you really can't go. ”

"Then what you said is not the same as saying it in vain?" Qin Songwang was anxious again, "Speaking of which, it's better not to let me go." I also made it clear, I won't go, it is impossible for all the people of the Ming Dynasty to explain the matter to Zhang Xianzhong, and they can't understand the relationship at all. ”

"I know this, but 。。。。。。"

Qin Songwang looked at Wang Hua and suddenly said, "Principal Wang, are you not letting me go, are you worried that I will run away like Tao Min and Tao Gong?" ”

"No, absolutely not." Wang Hua waved his hand again and again, "Old Qin, it hurts everyone's hearts too much if you say that." As you know, the crossing conference made a resolution back then, even if there is another person like Tao Min Taogong, we will never allow suspicion, let alone investigate any of the travelers. We would rather accept the damage that defectors inflict on us. ”

Qin Songwang knew that his words were serious: "I'm sorry, Principal Wang, I shouldn't have said that. ”

"Forget it, I know you're in a hurry." Wang Hua added some water to Qin Songwang's cup, "I'll go talk to the joint command again and see what they mean." ”

After Qin Songwang's hard work, the joint command finally agreed to his request, but ordered Wang Hua to select the most capable personnel from the Second General Affairs Department to go to Zhang Xianzhong with Qin Songwang.

After considering it thoroughly, Wang Hua sent someone to send a letter to Ge Tao in Beijing, asking him to rush back to Guangzhou with Liang Er and Ning Yan, meet Qin Songwang in Guangzhou, and go to Zhang Xianzhong together. At the same time, he ordered He Jiong to select another capable team to secretly follow Qin Songwang all the way and protect his safety at any cost.

Qin Songwang rode a high-headed horse and Ge Tao and others left Guangzhou and headed for Fujian, his current identity is a merchant in Nanyang, the purpose is to go to Suzhou and Hangzhou to purchase silk brocade. Qin Songwang has only participated in the Goryeo operation once since he crossed over, and basically stayed in Yulin Bay for the rest of the time, and the mainland has never been there, so this time it is the first time to take a real look at the real Ming Dynasty.

The group of four people did not walk fast, and for safety, Ge Tao picked a prosperous road to walk, and the accommodation must be in a more high-end inn in a crowded town. As for the silver, Principal Wang explained that don't think about the cost, protecting Qin Songwang's safety is the first thing.

The crowd walked for a few days and came to the Chaozhou Mansion. Ge Tao saw that it was getting late, and said to Qin Songwang: "Master, now that the sun is about to go down, there is Chaozhou Mansion in front, how about we go there to rest?" ”

"Okay, you can arrange it." Qin Songwang nodded and said, "But I wonder if we can take a day off tomorrow, I'm very tired from traveling in the past few days." ”

"The master said that he would rest for a day." Ge Tao secretly complained in his heart, "The principal sent me another chore, it's not good to do something, but I want to serve this master." ”

A few people entered the Chaozhou capital city, Ge Tao found an inn located in the downtown area, stood at the door and shouted: "Xiao Er, find two upper rooms, feed the horses, and prepare some wine and food, we will come down to eat later." ”

The shopkeeper took the reins of the horse diligently: "Master, you can rest assured." Four guest officers, upstairs please. ”

"Sir, please." Ge Tao turned sideways and let Qin Songwang go.

Qin Songwang walked into the store with his legs raised, and before the meal was served, there were a few customers sitting scattered in the hall on the first floor. Qin Songwang glanced at it, there was nothing special, and followed the shopkeeper upstairs.

The four of them finished washing upstairs, went downstairs and picked a window seat to sit down, and the shopkeeper brought wine and food.

Ning Yan filled everyone with wine: "Master, you have been tired after a day's journey, drink a glass of wine to relieve your fatigue." ”

"You can all do it." Qin Songwang pretended to be a master, "It's not easy to go out this time, I'll reward you well when I go back." ”

Ge Tao and Liang Er also raised their wine glasses: "Thank you, master, I have gained a lot of knowledge when I came out with my master." ”

Ge Tao also complimented a few words, but said in his heart: "I just want to be able to bring this master back to the principal in peace, and everything will be fine, and this trip is more troublesome than going to invite Mr. Chang Geng." ”

A few people were complimenting Qin Songwang, and a few more people walked in at the door of the inn.

Qin Songwang's eyes lit up, and among the people who came in, there was a girl dressed in blue, who looked like she was about eighteen or nineteen years old, her whole body was indigo, and even the boots on her feet were blue.

There were five people in total, it seemed to be a family, a middle-aged couple was tall, and the woman in blue was followed by a young man and a girl, who looked like brother and sister.

The woman in blue seemed to notice that Qin Songwang was looking at her, turned her head and glanced at Qin Songwang, but she didn't care, walked to a table and sat down: "Xiao Er, find two guest rooms and get some food, we are all hungry." ”

"Wait a minute." The shopkeeper went down to prepare the meal.

"Sir, the villain toasts you." Ge Tao stretched out his hand and touched Qin Songwang's cup, Qin Songwang came back to his senses and said embarrassedly, "Drink, drink." ”

Ge Tao lowered his voice and said, "Master, don't look too much, we have something big to do this time." ”

Qin Songwang nodded slightly: "I understand." ”

The middle-aged man who was with the woman in blue came over at this time: "A few, a few bothered, dare to ask if you go east from here to Xiamen, Fujian?" ”

"Exactly." Qin Songwang replied, "Keep going east along the seaside to Xiamen." ”

"We're not locals either." Ge Tao interrupted Qin Songwang's answer, "I also know the general direction, we won't go to Fujian." ”

"Excuse me." The middle-aged man clenched his fists, "Thank you." ”

The two tables began to eat, eating, and they didn't know what was said on the table over there, and the woman in blue suddenly let out a string of laughter like silver bells.

Qin Songwang couldn't help but turn his head to look over, the woman in blue just covered her mouth and looked over here, the two looked at each other, the woman in blue smiled at Qin Songwang and twisted her head back.

Ge Tao saw it in his eyes, and said to Liang Er and Ning Yan: "Have you all eaten enough, just rest early when you are full, you are tired for a day." ”

Qin Songwang knew that Ge Tao's words were for himself, so he had to put down his chopsticks: "I've eaten, let's go back and rest." ”

Entering the room, Ge Tao became serious: "Liang Er, Ning Yan, the three of us don't sleep to death tonight, take turns on duty, in case something happens." ”

"Understood, Ge Ye." The two men nodded together.

Qin Songwang didn't understand: "Ge Tao, what's wrong, do you see something?" ”

"Sir." Ge Tao patiently explained, "That family came from the wrong way. They have dark complexions and weathered faces, like people who eat at sea. ”

"Dark-skinned?" Qin Songwang asked, "That girl in blue is not black, I look quite white." ”

Ge Tao shook his head in his heart: "Master, I don't know if the master noticed the feet of the two girls, they didn't bind their feet, and people at sea don't bind their feet." And if they really want to go to Fujian, they should ask the shopkeeper why they came to ask us, which is very abnormal. ”

Qin Songwang thought for a while: "Yes, why did they come to ask us." ”

Ge Tao didn't explain again: "Just rest in peace, master, we will be on guard." Let's not stop here tomorrow, we'll leave tomorrow. ”

Nothing was said all night, nothing happened overnight.

The next morning, Ge Tao calculated the room money, took his luggage and walked out of the inn with Qin Songwang and the others in the direction of the city gate.

After walking a short distance, a group of people gathered around a clearing in the direction of the city gate, and a sound of gongs was heard in the distance. Qin Songwang rode on the horse and saw clearly, it seemed that the family from yesterday was juggling.

The middle-aged man stood in the center of the crowd and clasped his fists with both hands: "The villain's family has just come to Guibaodi and begged for food." Those who have money will enjoy a money field, and those who have no money will enjoy a personal field. Next, the little girl Blue Phoenix will perform a set of rope skills for you. ”

The woman in blue walked to the middle, hugged her fists slightly, and her voice like a silver bell sounded again: "The little woman Blue Phoenix is ugly." ”

After saying that, the blue phoenix jumped onto a rope three feet above the ground in the middle of the crowd. The rope swings back and forth, and the blue phoenix keeps swaying from side to side with the swing of the rope, sometimes the golden rooster is independent, and sometimes the roc spreads its wings. The blue clothes are fluttering, it is really like a blue phoenix soaring in the sky, but it just can't fall off the rope.

The crowd of onlookers burst into cheers.

Qin Songwang was already a little stupid, and the horse under his crotch unconsciously squeezed into the crowd.

The blue phoenix suddenly exerted his feet, and a harrier rolled over and jumped off the rope, landing right in front of Qin Songwang's horse.

"The little girl is ugly, thank you for the reward." The blue phoenix stood in front of the horse and looked up at Qin Songwang's eyes, and the other girl had already brought over a gong.
