Mountain. Dongcheng announced that the political envoy of Licheng County, south of Mount Tai, north of the Yellow River, is an important political, economic and cultural center in the east of Jinan City. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

After all, this place is a good place. Under the rule of Nanfu and adjacent to the capital city, it will naturally be more valued by the imperial court.

From IV. The city of Jiading of the river to the mountains. Dongli City, 1,7800 miles, at least seven or eight days to walk the time, after all, Shu Road is difficult, it is difficult to go to the blue sky, just from four. It would take two days for Sichuan to come out, and if they went to Licheng non-stop, two or three days would naturally be needed, but Zhu Song and they did not deliberately seek speed.

Therefore, the time for the journey was free, and in addition to the large number of people on their trip, and most of them were princes, it was inevitable that they would have to meet with the officials of the local capitals along the way, and even entertain them.

Zhu Song is worried about the female Shandong branch, and the second is troublesome, so it is counted like this. Or take the official road, and directly display the arrows, the eight-hundred-mile rapid march is more convenient.

After coming out of Licheng County, an army of 1,000 people began to rush towards the mountain like lightning. I rushed to the direction of East Licheng County, bumpy all the way, and finally rushed to the territory of Zichuan County near Licheng County in the early morning of the seventh day.

This Zichuan County is the boundary of Jinan Prefecture second only to Jinan Prefecture, not only the city is built with great momentum, but also the various buying and selling transactions in the city are very prosperous, of course, this is also the light of the city.

Three or four miles away from Zichuan County, under a hill near the Yellow Mountain, Zhu Song ordered the army to camp, and he took a group of little guys and those high-ranking people in Junzhong to climb the hill and look at the city from afar.

The little ones feel very strange, this is another county to Licheng County, why did my uncle stop?

Zhu Yuexian has always been the most impatient to question, and asked directly: "Uncle Songhuang, it looks like we are about to arrive in Licheng County, why should we stop in the county next door?" Could it be that there is something here that can help us? ”

Zhu Song shook his head slightly and said, "This horseman is in the mountain. Dongdi has been in business for decades, and those officials in Shandong, you don't know at all whether they are surnamed Pifu or Zhu, don't venture if you don't investigate! ”

"Uncle Songhuang, it shouldn't be!" Zhu Yuexian was a little stunned and said, "This mountain. Dongcheng announced that the officials of the Political Envoy Department took my Ming Dynasty's Yulu and enjoyed the official authority of my Ming Dynasty, why would they speak to a Jianghu sect? ”

"Ten taels of silver or one hundred thousand taels of silver, which one will you choose?" Zhu Song gave a very simple example, "Of course I took them all!" But if there is anything going on in the imperial court, I am afraid that it is one hundred thousand taels of silver, and it will be the first to get the news. It's just a ventilator, who can really kill them? ”

"But after all, this is Zichuan County, and there are still ten miles away from the journey." Zhu Zhanji was puzzled.

Zhu Song did not answer Zhu Zhanji's words, but said: "Mu Su, you pick a few brothers in a while, change into civilian clothes and go to the city to find out the news!" By the way, it's best to go to your Jinyiwei place and ask them! ”

"Lord Wang, do you need to go to the secret stronghold of the East Factory to have a look?" Mu Su nodded, and then suddenly asked.

"Do you know where the secret stronghold of the East Factory is?" Zhu Song asked a little strangely: "The strongholds of the East Factory are all the locations personally planned by Zheng He, how do you know?" Could it be that Zheng He told you? ”

Mu Su nodded and said, "Long live I asked Jinyiwei to cooperate with Dongchang, so Commander Ji met with Zheng Dugong, and Jinyiwei and Dongchang were arranged in the mountain. The secret spy of the East, the two of us have handed over the bottom. ”

"In that case, you can go to the Dongchang stronghold." Zhu Song didn't know this, so he nodded, "Learn as much as you can, this king doesn't want his own soldiers to suffer under the hands of these Jianghu people." ”

"Lord Wang, don't worry, it will be done in the end!" Mu Su replied respectfully, and then went down to prepare.

……

After about two hours, Mu Su appeared in Zhu Song's camp in the dust.

"You're back, how's the listening going?" Looking at Mu Su's slightly tired face, Zhu Song asked.

"Lord Wang, just like you think, since the Pifu Lou changed hands to Qi Yuan, the power has quickly expanded to the entire Qilu land, but things are not as bad as you think!" Mu Su still had sweat on his face, he didn't care about wiping it, and as he spoke, he took out a sealed bamboo tube from his pocket and handed it to Zhu Song.

The bamboo tube is about one inch thick and three inches long, and the two ends are firmly sealed with fire paint.

"Oh? You got it back......" Zhu Song looked at the small bamboo tube in front of the tunnel and asked a little strangely.

"Lord Wang, the last general went to the secret stronghold of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and met with their respective Zichuan County commanders, this bamboo tube is the information of the Pifulou summarized by the last general combined with the news of the two parties, you can take a look." Mu Su was simply twisted open the bamboo tube, took out the fire paint letter inside, and handed it to Zhu Song.

Unwrapped the fire paint outside, took out the letter hidden inside and looked at it, and after a quarter of an hour, Zhu Song said with a smile: "It's good now, this king thought that the civil and military generals in this city have been fed enough by the people of Pifulou, but I didn't expect that there are still people from our court, interesting, really interesting!" ”

"Uncle Songhuang, do we want to go into the city to have a look?" Hearing Zhu Song's words, Zhu Youjiao asked in a deep voice.

"Well, so many of us have appeared in Zichuan County, and we are still on the official road, it won't be long before news will spread to Zichuan County, since we can't hide it, then we will simply enter the city generously!" Speaking of this, Zhu Song stood up directly, waved his big hand and said, "Let's go, let's enter the city!" ”

So, a group of thousands of people, after Zhu Song's order, rode straight to Zichuan County.

……

At the gate of Zichuan County, a group of civil and military officials from Zichuan County did not appear here, because they received the news that the person who came was the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and the purpose of his visit was also a normal inspection of the Jinyi Guard.

As for the arrival of Zhu Song, Zhu Gaosui and other princes and county kings, they were concealed.

Although the civil and military officials of Zichuan County did not wait at the gate of the county seat, Mu Su was a second-rank member from Nanjing after all, and the county order of Zichuan County was only a seventh-grade official, so he was naturally ready to entertain this senior official.

The Zichuan County Government is located on the east side of Zichuan County, and at this moment, all the high-level officials of the Zichuan County Government, including the county commander Zhang Wenchuan, are all waiting here, looking at their excited faces, they really haven't seen the world.

In the distance, a team of about 200 people in strong gear came in the direction of the county office.

The person headed by the county government is seven feet tall, five big and three thick, and looks like a butcher, but this thing is wearing the official robe of the county order, and it seems that this reckless man is Zhang Wenchuan, the county commander of Zichuan.

"Zhang Wenchuan, the commander of Zichuan County under the rule of the Xiaguan Jinan Mansion, has seen Lord Tongzhi!" Before the team came to the county office, Zhang Wenchuan, who was five big and three rough, took the lead and stood up and bowed to Mu Su, who was the leader.

Mu Su didn't show his official authority, but waved his big hand lightly: "Your Excellency, please be exempt." ”

"My lord has traveled all the way from Nanjing, and he must have been physically and mentally exhausted? Xiaguan has already booked a table of banquets in Taihe Building in the city, let Xiaguan pick up the wind and wash the dust for you today! Zhang Wenchuan personally stepped forward to lead the horse for Mu Su.

Mu Su was not polite, and directly handed over the reins to Zhang Wenchuan, and said: "Lord Zhang has a heart, do you have a banquet, just postpone it, this official wants to go to the Zichuan Guard Station to take a look, and by the way, check the defense of Zichuan County, after all, this official came to Shandong this time, but he was ordered by the Lord of Long Live to inspect, and he has to complete the holy order, right?" ”

"Hahaha, Master Tongzhi puts the court first, and he is really a model for officials such as us!" was rejected the invitation, Zhang Wenchuan smiled indifferently, "Lord Tongzhi is new to Zichuan, and he should not be very familiar with Zichuan, so the lower official will accompany you around Zichuan, right?" Oh...... If the adults mind, the lower officials will never insist. ”

"Lord Zhang laughed, the official is not familiar with the place, what do you mind if you don't mind." Mu Su laughed and said, "Since Master Zhang wants to lead the way for the official, then the official will not shirk, so let's go?" ”

Mu Su patted the horse's back and took the lead in walking forward.

Zhang Wenchuan was stunned for a moment, as for the rest of the civil and military officials, there was no choice but to follow.

……

At the same time that Mu Su led the team to Zichuan County, another team of darts also quietly entered the city, the number of these people was about two hundred, and they did not escort anything, but escorted five carriages into the city slowly, looking at the quality of the carriage, it should be a person from a rich family.

The two hundred dart masters have a clear division of labor, they are surrounded by five carriages, the front dart master carries a spear, the middle dart master carries a long knife or long sword at the waist, and the back dart master carries a bow and a quiver.

"Hey, a wave of soldiers just came in, why is there another wave of darts here?"

"I said you kid be quiet, look at these people are vicious, we can't afford to mess with them!"

In the streets and alleys, or small vendors setting up stalls or pedestrians in a hurry, when they saw this procession of darts, they inevitably opened their mouths to discuss, but what they didn't know, not only did they talk about it, but the people in the five carriages were also talking, but the content of the two people's discussions was different.

"Uncle Songhuang, isn't it too ostentatious for us to enter Zichuan County with such fanfare?" Zhu Gaosui had already changed into a brocade robe, and looked at Zhu Song, who was sitting opposite him, with a puzzled expression.

Zhu Song was also dressed in a brocade robe, and even had a crown inlaid with gems on his head, he shook his head and said, "There is nothing to swagger or not, this time we come into the city, are you still afraid that they will be suspicious?" ”

"That's it, Brother Sanhuang, what are you afraid of?" Zhu Xuankun, who was dressed like a rich young master, had an indifferent expression: "There is Master Mu over there to block it for us, what else do they suspect?" Besides, we just brought out two hundred soldiers of the Jinyi Guard, and the Jinyi Guard set up camp outside, who can see what? ”

"That's right, but this Zichuan county is not far from Licheng County, and it is no better than Nanjing City at the foot of the Son of Heaven. Zhu Gaosui raised his eyebrows and continued: "And we are still pretending to be rich businessmen and dart masters, without official cover, I am afraid that we will be targeted by the head snake in Zichuan County, or what kind of ghost 'Piff Building'!" ”

"You forget, we are hanging the flag of the Water Margin, and the Water Margin Gate is in the mountains. The east is also the top Jianghu sect in the mountains. On this one-third of an acre of land in the east, who dares to move the people of the Water Margin, isn't that the birthday guy hanging himself and looking for death? Zhu Song laughed and said, "You say, at such a big risk, does Pifulou dare to attack us?" ”

"Uncle Songhuang, you're right when you say that!" Zhu Gaosui exhaled, and the cousin on his face calmed down.

"Alright, alright." Zhu Song patted Zhu Gaosui on the shoulder and said, "I'm about to enter the market, you go and tell the soldiers, they just need to protect the carriage, and they don't have to worry about the rest." ”

"Yes, Uncle Songhuang!" Zhu Gaosui responded, turned his head and got out of the carriage, and hurriedly went down to make arrangements.

……

That is, two quarters of an hour later, the dart team finally entered the market in Zichuan County.

According to Zhu Song's plan, he just wanted to take the soldiers around Zichuan County to replenish the supplies. Chuan came out all the way to the mountain. East, it takes a lot of time.

These soldiers of the Jinyi Guard and the guards of the Han Palace, if they don't say it, it doesn't mean that they don't want to rest, this time bring them over, let them rest their feet, eat some good food, and drink two cups.

When he arrived at the market, Zhu Song got out of the carriage directly, and the little guys in the four carriages behind him also walked down, and they were now sitting curiously one by one, looking to the right and right, as if they wanted to touch everything.

"Alright, stinky boys." Touching the short beard growing under his chin, Zhu Song said lightly: "Remember, follow me for a while." Otherwise, I don't care if you lose it or simply get killed. ”

Fuck, you little ones have grown up, don't want to make trouble for yourself!

"Loose ...... Uncle, don't worry, we won't mess around. Zhu Gaosui nodded and said.

"That's fine." Zhu Song nodded, turned his head and said to Huang San, who had been silent: "Huang San, you can go to other places and go around, just leave a few brothers to watch the little guys." ”

"But, gentlemen...... Childe's safety ......," Huang San said with some anxiety.

"Alright, alright, can anyone hurt them in my hands?" Zhu Song waved his hand impatiently and said, "The brothers are also tired these days, so let them have a good rest!" ”

"Thank you, Master!" Huang San couldn't, so he could only thank him and leave.
