Chapter 372: The future is uncertain
"In Lin Ziqian, the prefect of Xia De'an, I have seen two noble envoys, which is polite." Before the pass, wait until Zou Pusheng and Ming Yuzhen approached. As Lin Ziqian, who was promoted by Zhang Shihua and became the new prefect of De'an Mansion, he couldn't help but walk in front of the two with a smile on his face, and greeted the two of them with a gesture that was neither humble nor arrogant.
When Zou Pusheng and Ming Yuzhen saw this, they naturally smiled at the first time, so they smiled at Lin Ziqian and returned the salute.
Although when it comes to official positions, whether it is Zou Pusheng or Ming Yuzhen, they can throw Lin Ziqian, the prefect, eight streets away.
But these things are obviously not counted at this time. In this troubled world, everything is still strength. has no strength, even Xu Shouhui, the emperor of heaven, is still an incompetent waste who can't even keep his own woman.
Therefore, at this time, they would not be stupid enough to take it big in front of Lin Ziqian. After all, they came this time to hug the thighs of the black-clothed army.
"Hehe, it's really hard for your envoy to come from afar. I have now asked people to prepare some wine and food in the pass, if the noble envoy does not dislike it, how about asking the two noble envoys to move and follow me into the customs and enjoy some wine and food? "After all, I was born in a big family, although I don't have any fame, and I haven't read many sage books.
But in terms of receiving people and things, Lin Ziqian is also first-class.
Especially after putting on the official uniform and having the face of a middle-aged handsome uncle, Lin Ziqian, who was smiling and talking to others, gave people a feeling of spring breeze.
So for Lin Ziqian's invitation, Zou Pusheng and Ming Yuzhen naturally nodded and agreed after looking at each other.
"And then, too, Mr. Laurin." Zou Pusheng said with a smile. Then he couldn't help but walk to the pass behind Lin Ziqian.
I have to say that Zou Pusheng is indeed worthy of being the person in charge of the Peng Party at this time. Although his birth is not as good as Lin Ziqian, he worked as a blacksmith for two years in his early years in order to avoid disaster. But judging from his words and deeds alone, Zou Pusheng really can't help but give people the style of an elder. When speaking, people can't help but subconsciously feel convinced.
But compared with him, Lin Ziqian, who can see the current affairs clearly in this troubled world, and can grasp the opportunity, is decisive and decisive, and is naturally not bad.
Therefore, after the two walked side by side, after a conversation, they did not leak a drop of water for this speech. Lin Ziqian, who looks like a scholar, but is an old fox in his bones, Zou Pusheng can't help but look a little higher in his heart.
However, although he had a high opinion of Lin Ziqian, a person who was not very famous, Zou Pusheng did not feel any surprise because of this.
After all, in the troubled times, not only can they save their lives, but also mix with the wind and water, a few of them will be mediocre.
Therefore, in his opinion, Lin Ziqian's performance is just upper-middle. Such a person, although he is also a talent, is just a talent in the state capital in the final analysis. With such a large territory, it is normal for the Black Army to find some such people to do things for themselves, and there is really nothing surprising about it.
However, he was talking to Lin Ziqian, and he wanted to find out the details of the black-clothed army from Lin Ziqian, but he didn't know that Ming Yuzhen, who was following him closely, became more and more dignified after entering the pass.
is different from Zou Pusheng, a person who plays political power, after a few years of riding horses, Ming Yuzhen has become a soldier from the inside out.
Therefore, when she came into close contact with the black-clothed army like this, all of Ming Yuzhen's attention was placed on the hundreds of black-clothed soldiers guarding the pass.
And it is precisely because of this that Ming Yuzhen's face at this time will become so dignified.
You must know that although Ming Yuzhen is young, he is a veteran who has seen blood on the battlefield and has fought more than a dozen battles. Therefore, for the rabble or iron-blooded elite soldiers, Ming Yuzhen, who led the troops to fight, was naturally obvious at a glance.
This group of black-clothed soldiers is not simple!
When I first came into contact with the black-clothed army, I looked at it at a glance, which was Ming Yuzhen's first thought.
Because just from the eyes of this group of black-clothed soldiers looking at him, Ming Yuzhen knew that this was a group of fighting men who really dared to kill. Moreover, it is still a group of fighting men who have killed many people.
Of course, just killing someone will never make him Ming Yuzhen become dignified.
After all, Ming Yuzhen is also a general who leads the troops to fight, and the 100 soldiers he brought this time are all good men who have had a lot of blood on their hands.
Therefore, what really made Ming Yuzhen dignified was actually the discipline shown by the hundreds of black-clothed soldiers in the pass.
Take a look at the 100 soldiers under him, because these are the soldiers that he brought out from his hometown in Suixian County. Therefore, although these people dare to fight and kill and are loyal to him, in terms of discipline, the group of soldiers under his command is also very ordinary.
On the way from Huangzhou to De'an alone, the more than 100 soldiers under his command were whispering and making noise. When he came to De'an, after returning to his hometown, the group of soldiers under him spoke the dialect of his hometown, and they didn't look like they were noisy.
But at this time, look at this group of black-clothed soldiers who are guarding the pass.
When I saw them coming, they still did their jobs. The guards at the gate and on the city wall did not move from beginning to end, and the hundreds of soldiers who came out of the pass to greet them also kept their mouths closed one by one, and stood straight, almost like a piece of wood.
And when I walked into the pass, I saw the black-clothed soldiers in the pass. Those actions and even walks are also in accordance with rules and regulations.
Ming Yuzhen paid attention to it, and this group of black-clothed soldiers actually walked at the same step point when they usually walked.
So when she saw such a scene with her own eyes, Ming Yuzhen's forehead couldn't help but subconsciously ooze a touch of sweat.
It has been a while since he changed from a patriarch of a wealthy clan to a leading general. During this period of time, Ming Yuzhen, who led the troops to fight in the north and south, was also resolutely well-informed.
In the past two years, he has seen the grassland elite cavalry from the south, and he has also seen the Miao soldiers in Huguang, and he has also seen many madmen who only know how to kill people and even eat people. To be honest, until today, Ming Yuzhen has never seen such a disciplined soldier and horse, nor has she ever felt such a strong pressure.
So in such a situation, after the hundreds of black-clad sergeants who looked like panting wood accompanied them into the pass.
Under the wordless pressure of the black-clothed sergeant who was accompanying him, the soldiers under his command who were chatting in dialects couldn't help but close their mouths one by one. And subconsciously stood in a ball, and some people even couldn't help but put their palms on their weapons.
"......" was silent, and at such a time, even Zou Pusheng couldn't help but close his mouth.
"Hehe, Mr. Lin, this ......" was quiet for a moment, and when he felt that the atmosphere had begun to become a little wrong, Zou Pusheng couldn't help but force a smile on his face, and couldn't help but prepare to say something to ease the current atmosphere.
But at this time, before he could finish speaking, a black-clothed general wearing armor couldn't help but step out of the crowd.
"My lord, the food and wine are all ready, and the meals prepared for the brothers are also ready. Adult, please! The general said loudly, not looking at Zou Pusheng, but just reporting to Lin Ziqian.
"Good, good. So there is General Lao Qin. Please, two noble envoys! Here, after hearing such a report from this thousand-household official surnamed Qin, Lin Ziqian smiled, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand to invite.
However, at this time, when the nearly 1,000 black-clothed soldiers accompanying him surrounded them in a wordless manner, Zou Pusheng couldn't help but smile, pointed to the black-clothed soldiers around him and said, "Mr. Lin, look at this ......"
"Hehe, you see I forgot. General Qin and the noble envoys have already arrived, and now it is time for dinner. The soldiers were asked to wait here, let them go to eat too. Lin Ziqian commanded with a smile, still polite.
Therefore, hearing his command, Qin Qianhu immediately responded to the call after leading the troops. Then he couldn't help but raise his voice, and ordered loudly: "The whole army has an order, disbanded on the spot, and eat and eat!" ”
"Yes!!" Under such circumstances, what responded was the roar of the thousands of black-clothed soldiers in unison.
Then, the nearly 1,000 black-clothed sergeants left one after another with extremely neat steps.
"Huh~~" Seeing this, looking at the backs of the black-clothed sergeants leaving, Ming Yuzhen couldn't help but sigh.
Therefore, he knew that if the group of black-clothed soldiers just now wanted to do something to them, none of them would be able to escape.
"Alright, now you all go to dinner." Seeing this, after breathing a sigh of relief, Ming Yuzhen waved her hand to the henchman under her, and couldn't help but order.
However, what Ling Ming Yuzhen didn't expect was that when he heard his order, the henchman couldn't help crying and said: "General, you let us eat with this group of people, in case this group of guys ......"
"Shut up, you shameful thing. Don't you even have the guts to do that! If you're scared, you're hungry here. Ming Yuzhen didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and he couldn't help but scold him angrily.
Then, he couldn't help but turn around and left with Zou Pusheng.
So seeing this scene, the henchman sighed silently. So he had to bite the bullet and take more than 100 of his brothers to eat with the group of black-clothed soldiers just now.
……
The banquet didn't last long, after all, everyone was doing something on their minds. Therefore, this banquet, after an hour, was officially over.
However, although this banquet only lasted for an hour at this time, after the banquet was over, it was not early. Therefore, under such circumstances, Zou Pusheng and Ming Yuzhen were also arranged by Lin Ziqian to prepare to spend the night here at Xiaogan Pass, and then wait until tomorrow morning to rush with Lin Ziqian.
So in this case, when it was nightfall, Zou Pusheng and Ming Yuzhen couldn't help but discuss together for the purpose of this trip.
"Master, do you think we can achieve our goal this time?" At night, in Zou Pusheng's room, Ming Yuzhen looked at Zou Pusheng, and couldn't help but ask when she thought of what happened at dawn a few hours ago.
"I don't know, I haven't seen Zhang Shihua yet. However, if Zhang Shihua is really an ambitious person, then this matter should be eighty percent certain. Zou Pusheng said this, and he still looked very confident in his tone.
Because he knew that even if they were the end of the heavens, the imperial court would now exist in name only. But in the land south of the Yangtze River, their Tianwan court still has great popularity among the people at the bottom.
So if Zhang Shihua is a very ambitious person, then he will definitely not let go of this opportunity to form an alliance with the Tianwan Imperial Court. And take advantage of this opportunity to develop the power of himself and the Black Army to the Jiangnan region.
But if that's the case, in the process of forming an alliance with Zhang Shihua. They can also reap great benefits from the Tianwan regime, and it is not impossible to even use this as an opportunity to return to their period of complete victory and overwhelm the black-clad army.
After all, such a thing as an alliance is just two sides using each other. As for who can get the most benefit in the process of using each other, it will be their own strength that will be seen.
Therefore, in Zou Pusheng's opinion, what happened during the day was just that the black-clothed army wanted to give them a dismount and show their muscles. This is a very normal thing in the alliance between the two forces, so Zou Pusheng is not so worried.
But even so, at this time, Zou Pusheng's heart is naturally not calm.
Because through this incident, he also knew that their current power was compared to the extremely powerful black-clothed army. That's really too much, too much, so in such an extremely unbalanced situation of strength, he Zou Pusheng really doesn't have much certainty.
After all, he Zou Pusheng is not Zhuge Liang who can fight the Confucianism, his majesty is not a benevolent and virtuous gentleman Liu Xuande, and Zhang Shihua of the black-clothed army is not Sun Zhongmou, who relied on his father's and brother's legacy to ascend to the throne.
Therefore, thinking of this, Zou Pusheng couldn't help but sigh, and said to himself: "Hey, let's take a step and see a step!" Saying this, Zou Pusheng, who was standing with his hands in his hands, couldn't help but be silent, and the room was calm again.
