Chapter 7: A Visit to the Assassins
Leaving Li Hao and Yao Han and other five hundred soldiers, Zhang Cheng took Tiezhu, Zhang Laoda, Qi Tian, Yang Wenzhao and the personal guards to Anhua County, Linyang County!
On the way, Yang Wenzhao introduced: "The name of Jizhou Thorn is Fang Qian!" It's a kid of a family! Cautious, intelligent, and scheming! He was a think tank under the command of the lord, because he was unfortunately seriously injured in a fierce battle, and returned to Jizhou to recuperate, and later Fang Qian took the initiative to ask for retirement, and the lord did not want to live up to the old minister, so he made him do Jizhou Assassin History! ”
"Oh! That's it! Zhang Cheng said contemplatively.
"But my lord! This Fang Qian is an official family, rich and powerful. And this person hates the snobs who are bent and welcomes the most, and hates corrupt officials and corrupt officials, so adults should be more careful when they go! Yang Wenzhao reminded.
"Yo! It's still a powerful faction! When Zhang Cheng heard this, he smiled and said, "Whatever!" I'm not bribing him, we're poor now. If you want to be greedy, you don't have a place yet! Saying that, Zhang Cheng beat the horse and left!
Compared with the desolate and uninhabited Northland County, Linyang County is much more prosperous. Not to mention the invasion of the north and the south, Beidi County did not receive any military disasters, just because it is the political center of Jizhou, it is enough to attract giant businessmen and rich people! Not only that, Anhua County is the central city of Jizhou, and merchants and pedestrians from the south, north and south must pass by, which also drives the prosperity and economic development of Anhua County and even the entire Linyang County.
Outside the city of Anhua County, the five-zhang high city wall and the thick vicissitudes of the city gate all show the city's long history. Seeing the pedestrians coming and going in and out of the city, a prosperous and prosperous appearance, Zhang Cheng was a little excited.
"Let's go! Town. Find an inn to settle in first, and then have fun! It's hard to make a long trip! "Zhang Cheng urged the horse to hurry! The crowd followed!
As soon as they arrived at the city gate, the city gate guards stopped Zhang Cheng and his party! The group of city guards led by them is not simple, so they hurriedly called someone to stop them!
The city guard was about thirty years old, tall, wearing an official hat, wearing a nine-grade military uniform, and a machete at his waist, to the point of having a bit of the majesty of an officer. I saw him looking Zhang Cheng up and down and asked, "Who are you?" Can you have an identity spy on you? The city guard cautiously stared at Zhang Cheng and his party, after all, he had been in this city gate building for more than ten years, and he could see at a glance that Zhang Cheng and the others had an extraordinary temperament, and their riding posture was special and old! There was a faint smell of blood. It's not that they really smell of blood, but a kind of temperament, the temperament of a soldier who has experienced life and death and killed countless people! But the city guard didn't suspect that their temperament was a military temperament, he just felt that they were extraordinary, there was a problem, and they had to be searched!
Zhang Cheng didn't speak, took out his official disc from his arms and gave it to him, so that he could look at him with a smile.
The city guard glanced at Zhang Cheng, and then turned over the official plate, which read: Daqian Huaihua Zhonglang General, Beidi County Guard, Zhang Cheng!
He hurriedly knelt down and said tremblingly: "No, I don't know that the general has arrived!" If you don't know Mount Tai, please forgive the general! Then he shouted to the stunned guards behind him, "What are you doing in a daze!" Hurry, hurry up and give General Zhang a salute! ”
When everyone heard this, the young man in front of them, who looked to be only in his early twenties, was actually the general of the 50,000 army of Zhenxiongguan's wealthy barbarian dogs, and everyone immediately knelt down with admiration, knelt on the ground respectfully, and said in unison: "Meet the general!"
Zhang Cheng sat on the horse and watched them with great enjoyment, then raised his hand to let them up, Zhang Cheng called the city guard to his side and asked, "What is your name?" Very conscientious! Not bad! There's a future! ”
"Humble and lenient! Thank you General for the appreciation! It is a supreme honor to be appreciated by the general! Chang Kuan gave a military salute and said excitedly!
"Is this worth rejoicing? And the supreme glory! Where does this begin? I'm just a four-grade sesame official! Zhang Cheng asked with some curiosity!
"The general doesn't know! Your heroic deeds have spread in Jizhou! While the people of Jizhou thank you, they also have special respect for you! Chang Kuan said: "Now, in the entire Jizhou, there is no one who does not know your prestige!"
"I'm still famous! Hehe! Zhang Cheng looked at Yang Wenzhao and said helplessly and happily.
"You're a good talker! Well done! I'll recommend you to Master Fang when I go back! I'm leaving! Zhang Cheng drove the horse away, and everyone went with him! There were also words of gratitude from Chang Kuan behind him!
Thorn Mansion, back hall.
Fang Qian, who was basking in the sun and drinking tea in the courtyard, suddenly received news from someone sent by the city guard, saying that Huaihua Zhonglang General and Zhang Cheng had arrived in Anhua County!
"What is he doing in my Anwar? Oh, it looks like it's coming at me! Hehe! Fang Qian is already half a hundred years old, gray hair, thin and tall, his face is wrinkled like an old tree, but he has a pair of quite wise eyes, like pearls, flashing with the light of wisdom, wearing a green shirt, with the literati temperament of a Confucian sage. I saw him frown first, and then laughed again.
"Daddy seems to value this guy?" A voice like a clear bell came from the side! I saw that this woman's hair is like a waterfall, a slender figure, and a delicate waist. Buttocks, beautiful eyebrows like Dai, beautiful big eyes like stars, tall little nose bridge, lovely cherry lips, beautiful pretty face, plus her snow-white skin like clotted cream, under the backdrop of the green stacked skirt, like a fairy descending to earth, elegant and beautiful, and like a fairy in the snow, without losing agility and pure beauty!
"This Huaihua Zhonglang General is the young general who broke the 50,000 barbarian army in Zhenxiong Pass a while ago! He was originally a cloth cloth, because the barbarians invaded the south and the homeland was broken, he led dozens of people from the same village to kill more than a thousand barbarian troops, and was later accepted by Commander Huo Han as a brigade commander! In just half a month, several of his fierce generals defeated 5,000 barbarian troops under the county town of Pingwu and killed Bo Duo, the first fierce general of the grassland! I became a captain! Join the army on your behalf! A few months later, they broke 50,000 barbarian troops and annihilated almost all the enemy troops! Kill Zahan, the heir of the Prairie King! Now he is named the general of Huaihua Zhonglang by the lord, the county guard of Beidi, and General Zhao Hui specially allowed him to take charge of 3,000 troops! Moreover, all the officials under the five grades of Northland County do not have to report to me, they can make their own decisions! In this way, it means that Zhang Cheng is the grass king of Northland County! The lord is such a serious person, you say daddy, can you not pay attention to it? Fang Qian stroked the girl's hair and said dotingly!
"That's amazing! I've heard the maids talk about him a lot. What kind of person is he? Do you want to see if you have three heads and six arms? Hee-hee. Fang Ningyu dragged her chin, her eyes gurgling!
"Huh. I think we'll see each other in a few days! Daddy is also curious about what kind of young handsome he will be! Fang Qian said lovingly. Fang Qian has no children under his knees, only Fang Ningyu has a daughter, this year is in the double decade, Fang Qian loves Fang Ningyu very much!
Zhang Cheng and the others went all over Anwar, and they almost didn't go to the brothel! In particular, I went to the leather store, grain store, salt shop and other places to take a closer look, but I just didn't buy anything. Until three days later, the day before Chinese New Year's Eve, many New Year's goods returned to the inn, and then a feast was held, and the poor guards were almost killed one by one!
The next day, Zhang Cheng took Yang Wenzhao and Qi Tian to the door of the Assassin's Mansion. Looking at several sedan chairs standing up in front of the Assassin's Mansion, Zhang Cheng said fiercely: "Sooner or later, one day, I will buy him ten and eight sedan chairs, and I will change one a day!" I'm mad at them! Of course Zhang Cheng knows who these sedan chairs are, it's nothing more than a long history, don't drive a big official like that, every New Year's holiday, do you want your boss to come? Sitting on such a big sedan chair, who is the squeeze? Bullying brother on horseback?
"Huh! I estimate that as soon as we go in later, Lord Fang will be angry with you! I said, how can there be such a thing as you! When you see your boss, you send two packs of rice cakes and you're done? Yang Wenzhao was completely speechless at Zhang Cheng, rolled his eyes and looked at him and said!
"People don't accept gifts, let's still be polite! We're here today, mainly to eat and drink! Have you ever heard that those who come to eat and drink still bring a few hundred taels of gold to the door? Cut! Qi Tian, send a greeting post! Zhang Cheng looked like he should have been, and he was ashamed to speak.
As soon as Qi Tian was about to step forward to send a post, he saw a steward come over and asked respectfully, "Who are the Huaihua Zhonglang generals, General Zhang?"
"I am!" The three of them looked at each other, Zhang Cheng patted his chest and stepped forward and said!
"General Zhang! My family knows that the general will definitely come to visit today, so the special order is here to wait for the general! Please follow me! "The steward.
"Great God! can actually pinch and calculate! Can Master Fang teach this craft? I worship him as a teacher! Zhang Cheng was taken aback for a moment, then smiled.
The general laughed! General please! The person in charge didn't say much, just smiled and invited Zhang Cheng into the house!
Walking into the house, in the inner hall, he saw a few people sitting in the hall, Zhang Cheng saw an old man sitting in the upper head of the hall. Nine should be Fang Qian!
"General! It's here! You please! The man in charge said.
"Oh! Good! That's right. I came this time, and I won't eat and drink for nothing,,,," Zhang Cheng also wanted to give a gift, but the person in charge bowed directly and said: "The general is polite!" You are a valued guest of the adults! No need for any gifts! ”
"Huh! Even the gifts are saved! What a bargain for this meal! Zhang Cheng took back the rice cake and threw it to Qi Tian and said, "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate!"
Zhang Cheng strode forward, and the steward shouted: "General Huaihua Zhonglang, Beidi County Guard, General Zhang has arrived!"
Entering the hall, the head Fang Qian said: "It's really Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!" General Zhang, it really came as scheduled! Come, please take a seat! ”
"Xiaguan Zhang Cheng, meet Lord Assassin Shi!"
"The head of Beidi County, Yang Wenzhao! Meet Lord Thorn! ”
"Huaihua Zhonglang will be the captain of the guard Qi Tian, and the assassin Lord Shi!"
Fang Qian raised his hand modestly and said with a smile: "Okay, good!" A few of them have come all the way to visit my old man. Have a seat! Come on, watch the tea! ”
