Chapter 140: Crossing the Yangtze River into the Qinling Mountains

"These people are supposed to be mobs, should we chase them?" After seeing that Zhao Shuo and the others had run away, a gatekeeper asked aloud. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Chase, chase, chase. Which of you can see how that guy who is neither male nor female makes a move? The gatekeeper said with trepidation. I didn't even notice it, and his dagger reached my neck, and if we chase such a person, we will send him to death. ”

After a pause, touching his neck, which was still a little chilly, the officer at the gate continued. "Knowing that if you are going to die, a fool will chase after you."

"Then, what should I do if Zhizhou asks?" One of the soldiers asked.

"What to do?" The officer guarding the gate spread his hands. "Has anyone gone out through Simon? I didn't see any of them. What do you say? ”

All the soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then they all agreed.

"I didn't see it either."

"I didn't see it, who is there this morning."

"yes, there's no one with Ben!"

……

"Then close the door, keep it guarded, and don't let out a suspicious person." The gatekeeper was satisfied with the performance of his subordinates and said with a smile.

Squeak......

The gate was closed, and the soldiers stood in an orderly manner, as if they had never been opened.

Three miles away from the west gate of Jiangzhou, Zhao Shuo and his party met Yan Wu. With more than 100 people, Zhao Shuo suddenly had confidence in his heart.

"Lord Wang, there are no officers and soldiers chasing after Jiangzhou." Gonggong Feng, who was in charge of the palace, returned to the camp and reported to Zhao Shuo after investigating to make sure that no one was chasing him.

Zhao Shuo nodded. "It seems that the Simon guard was worried about being responsible, and did not expose our whereabouts."

"Lord Wang, where are we going next? Do you want to go south to rescue the Jiang Jing brothers? Mu Chun asked.

Mu Chun left Jiangzhou and was already safe, and the only thing he was worried about now was Jiang Jing's hunger and safety.

Zhao Shuo shook his head. "We're not going south, we're going north, and we're marching fast."

"Why is that?" Mu Chun asked puzzled. "Didn't the prince interrupt the rescue of Jiang Jing? If that's the case, please ask the prince to allow Mu to leave. ”

Mu Chun's face was solemn, and his fists were clenched. "Even if it's Mu alone, you have to rescue Jiang Jing."

"If you go alone, you can only die!" Fluttershy sticks out her tongue and speaks.

"Even if I die, I will die with my brother." Mu Chun said angrily.

"Okay, Brother Mu, your temper is too explosive, you have to listen to the prince." Gonggong Feng comforted Mu Chun. "The prince promised you to rescue Jiang Jing, and he will definitely do it."

"Lord Wang, it's Mu and Meng Lang." Mu Chun bowed slightly and said.

"Mu Chun, do you know how to make wine?" Zhao Shuo scratched his head and asked.

Mu Chun was stupid again, he was still discussing the issue of rescuing Jiang Jing just now, how could this suddenly be related to winemaking.

Although he was full of doubts in his heart, he was worried that Zhao Shuo's problem would be related to rescuing Jiang Jing, Mu Chun said honestly. "Although it's not too ripe, I know a little bit about it, and over the years, I have occasionally brewed some."

Zhao Shuo nodded slightly. "Yes, yes, in that case, then the king will make you a wine-making ambassador, and you will be in charge of wine-making in the future, you are willing."

Winemaking ambassadors? What kind of official is this? Anyway, Mu Chun also served as an official in the imperial court, and the rank and name of the official were still known, but he had never heard of this winemaking ambassador.

"Lord Wang, what kind of official is this winemaking ambassador?" Mu Chun didn't understand it after thinking about it, so he had to smile awkwardly and ask.

"What officer?" Zhao Shuo pondered for a moment and said. "You are the wine-making officer, and you will be responsible for all wine-making matters in the future."

"Ah~!" Mu Chun's mouth grew and he didn't know how to speak.

"Uh~!" Realizing Mu Chun's abnormal performance, Zhao Shuo rubbed his nose. "This is not a petty official, you will understand later."

After a pause, Zhao Shuo said again. "Jiang Jing's matter, I have already asked Lin Chong's son Lin Feng to rescue him. The imperial army has approached Liu Zhong, he will definitely be defeated, Lin Feng took my warrant and set off a long time ago. I believe that Jiang Jing should be fine. ”

Zhao Shuo said this for a reason, because in addition to letting Lin Feng rescue Jiang Jing, Zhao Shuo also gave an order to Ju Zheng and the others, that is, let Wu Yashi personally lead the troops to set off and rescue Jiang Jing with Lin Feng.

For Wu Yashi, Zhao Shuo still believes it.

"Lord, you just said that we are going north, the north is the rolling Yangtze River, and there are officers and soldiers at each wharf, and I am afraid it will be difficult to have the identity of the prince." Zhang Chujiu said at this time.

"No, no, no." Zhao Shuo laughed. "It is precisely because I have the identity of the king of Pingnan that it is better to cross the Yangtze River, and if my guess is correct, they will definitely send us over in the first batch."

Then, ignoring the confused crowd, Zhao Shuo inspected the soldiers, and after half an hour, the army set off, headed directly north, and rushed to the rolling Yangtze River.

…………………………………………………………

This is a very small wharf, only a few small boats are transporting guests from the south to the north, Zhao Shuo and a group of more than 100 people, very conspicuous, soon attracted the attention of the dock defenders.

The leader of the guards at the pier was named Tian Ba Shan, so named because he was born at the foot of Ba Mountain. After learning the news that a team of more than 100 people had arrived here, he immediately found the leader of this team, Zhao Shuo.

"Who is your Excellency? Why take a ferry north? Tian Bashan looked at the leader of the team and asked.

"This is my son-in-law's seal." Gonggong Feng handed Zhao Shuo's seal ribbon to Tian Bashan.

After Tian Bashan took it, he saw the same, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, holding the seal ribbon with both hands. "The last general, Tian Bashan, meet the king of Pingnan."

"Get up." Zhao Shuo said lightly. "I know why I'm going north this time."

"The last general understands, and immediately arranges for people to send the prince across the river." Tian Bashan said sensibly.

Then, all the guests in line were at the back, and Zhao Shuo and others were 'forcibly' stuffed at the front.

After a few hours of turbulence, Zhao Shuo is the first to arrive on the north shore, accompanied by his guards Feng Gonggong, Xiao Fluttershy, who takes care of his daily life, and Zhang Chujiu, who inquires about the news. The rest of the sides were soldiers. As for Yan Wu and Mu Chun and others, they were left in the rear to suppress the formation.

"Chu Jiu, you work hard, and then go to the north to find out the news. Check out if it is feasible to climb over the Qinling Mountains. As soon as he landed, Zhao Shuo muttered to Zhang Chujiu in a low voice.

"The prince is going to Qinling?" Zhang Chujiu said in surprise.

Zhao Shuo nodded slightly. "I'll leave this matter to you."

Zhang Chujiuyi arched his hand and galloped towards the north. (To be continued.) )
