Chapter 10 Helpers in place
Chen Kang didn't make any effort to persuade Zhang Chang, in Chen Kang's heart, Zhao Ji wanted to kill himself and Wang Bian always appeared at the moment, and he faintly attributed all the murders next to Wang to his own carelessness, so that Guangyuan's affairs led to the murder of Wang Bian. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Therefore, the enmity next to the king is unforgettable for Chen Kang, and it is difficult to see if he does not repay him in this life.
Seeing that Zhang Chang asked his wife to find a few clothes for himself to bring on the road, he took out a spear from the thatched hut in the west, and compared it in his hand a few times. The two children jumped and clapped their hands and shouted yes, and Chen Kang nodded with satisfaction.
Zhang Chang put down the spear and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "No, I don't forgive people at my age!" ”
"No problem, no problem!" Chen Kang said with a smile.
Mrs. was a little reluctant: "Since you're here, let's go on the road after dinner." ”
Chen Kang took out a few taels of silver: "Mrs. Zhang, you take these." When we're done, we'll pick you up. ”
The lady pushed back: "This, can't be accepted!" ”
Zhang Chang said: "Take it, you take care of Yong'er, if there is anything, go to Qing'er!" ”
Seeing that Zhang Chang had made up her mind, Mrs. hurriedly prepared lunch and prepared some dry food for a few people.
A few days later, Zhang Chang and Chen Kang took Chen Yong to Shayuan, which is now between Luoshui and Weishui in Dalinan, Shaanxi. Eighty miles from east to west, thirty miles from north to south. According to legend, in the early days, a large area of sandy meadow was a place for horse grazing in previous dynasties. However, after five generations, it gradually became a place of dry ponds and sand, frequent droughts and floods, and environmental degradation. Now this place is not only desolate, but also convex and uneven, making it very difficult to walk. The locals call the high place Shafu, the low place called Shawa, the place with water called Shalu, and the place with alkali called Shalu (Yinlu). The place with grass is called the beach, the flat place is called the sand board, the yellow sand is called the desert, and the big sand is called the moraine.
It is precisely because of this harsh environment with frequent droughts and floods that the local people live very hard, and because of the uneven terrain, there are often robbers in places where sand and sand depressions intersect.
The donkey cart was walking on the road, and Chen Kang and Zhang Chang on the cart were vigilantly observing the changes in their surroundings and terrain.
"Mr. Chen, I also heard that Zhang Ping came here, but he is an official, and we are now ordinary people, do you think he can think the same as me?"
"Drive!" Chen Kang drove the donkey cart.
"Then I don't know, the last time I came, he had just been transferred here, and I also met robbers, and it just so happened that he was a recruiter and was responsible for exterminating the robbers. At that time, he specially entertained me, and said that although he was an official of the imperial court, he still missed the days when he followed the prince. ”
"That's what I said, but people have been officials for so many years, they must think differently from us, and people will become!"
"Forget it, let's act when we have the opportunity, anyway, Gao Gongzi also said that he wants to know the situation of the prince's old department, in case Zhang Ping is not willing to follow us anymore, let's just complete an investigation." Besides, we are not robbing houses this time, we are serious about doing business, and it may not be good if there are more people. ”
The road was quite smooth, and he had already entered the state city of Shayuan while speaking.
Unlike the magistrates, general judges, and civil officials of various departments who worked in the yamen, the envoys were local military generals, and the local military generals from all walks of life and prefectures ate and lived in the barracks. The military camp in the city and the yamen are the same in that they are also a group of courtyards, and the difference is that the plaque of the yamen is hung high, and the guards outside the government are the yamen, while the guards outside the barracks are the van soldiers.
Chen Kang explained his intentions, and a soldier told him that Zhang Ping was no longer a solicitation envoy, and now Zhang Ping was serving as a recruiting envoy. For Chen Kang, it didn't matter what Zhang Ping's official position was, they waited outside the barracks for about a stick of incense, and a soldier stood on the steps outside the gate to greet him: "You, enter, General Zhang wants to see you!" ”
Chen Kang asked Zhang Chang and Chen Yong to wait outside, and followed the soldiers into the camp alone. This building group is composed of courtyards except for the high pavilion of the entrance courtyard, and the soldiers who pass through the corridor take Chen Kang to Zhang Ping's office.
"General Zhang, Chen Kang brings!"
"Please, ahem, ahem!" The voice was Zhang Ping's voice, and Chen Kang heard a rapid cough.
Pushing open the door, Zhang Ping was walking towards Chen Kang, I haven't seen Zhang Ping lose a lot of weight for two years, how can this figure look like the guards next to the king back then, it is not as good as Chen Kang after recovering from a serious illness.
"General Zhang, it's been a long time!"
"Mr. Chen, please take a seat, please take a seat!" Zhang Ping pulled Chen Kang, still as enthusiastic as ever.
Chen Kang felt Zhang Ping's hands cold: "General Zhang, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Alas, it's nothing, I was injured when I was fighting bandits last year, and I haven't recovered well!"
"Then why didn't you go back to the capital, this place is poor and bad, I'm afraid it's difficult to find a good man." Chen Kang said with a sigh.
"It's okay, isn't this taking a back seat? It used to be a solicitation envoy, but now it is a solicitation envoy, and the bandits here have almost been cleaned up. Now I am looking forward to a good year for a few years, so that the people can harvest up, and naturally it will be peaceful. Ahem, ahem! Zhang Ping coughed violently as he spoke.
Chen Kang frowned, he must be distressed, after all, when he followed the prince, everyone got along with each other with brotherly friendship. But how can you persuade him to follow him all the way? Not to mention who protects whom, if there is a dangerous thing, it will be difficult for him to protect himself.
Zhang Ping finished coughing, drank some water and felt much better, and when he saw Chen Kang looking at him with concern, he smiled and said, "I'm really sorry to let you see me like this." After the year of confusion, all the illnesses came, how can you be like Mr. Chen, still so energetic? ”
"I'm also half a hundred, so make do with it."
"What about Chen Yong? Why didn't you bring him out? ”
Zhang Pingyi reminded Chen Kangcai and said, "Chen Yong and Zhang Chang are outside now? ”
"Zhang Chang? Isn't that the manga general?? ”
"Exactly!"
"Haha, why did you bring him too, cough cough cough, hurry up, invite them in!"
"Wait a minute, General Zhang, I came this time to tell you something, the child is inconvenient in front of me, and I will call him when I finish speaking."
Zhang Ping coughed and nodded, he knew that there was no way to cure this disease, according to the current medical theory, it was the battle that injured the collarbone and caused pulmonary congestion. But in the Song Dynasty, there was no rule of law at all, and Zhang Ping had already begun to cough up blood, and he only thought that he was not saved.
Chen Kang roughly recounted his experience in Yanzhou, Zhang Ping listened attentively, and when Chen Kang finished speaking, Zhang Ping did not say anything in his life, and he didn't even cough anymore.
Seeing Zhang Ping silent, Chen Kang said: "General Zhang, I originally planned to invite you to simply resign from your official position this time, and follow me to help this high prince." But if you don't want to go, forget it! Everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't be forced. ”
Zhang Ping shook his head and sighed: "It's not that I don't want to go, you look at my body, it's a drag to go!" ”
Chen Kang also agreed with this, feeling sad but unable to say anything.
Zhang Ping turned around and said: "Mr. Chen, I don't think there is any flaw in what Gao Gongzi said, but I don't think it's possible to sell salt in Western Xia." This idea is kitsch, isn't this too much of a toss-up? If you want a few thousand catties of salt, you need a lot of warehouses and a lot of manpower when you get there, which is bought and sold, and it is not something that three or four people can do. In short, I think it's unlikely. ”
Chen Kang also had the question that Zhang Ping said, but seeing that Gao Yu was so sure at the beginning, even if he tried, it didn't hurt.
"General Zhang, whether it can be done or not, we just want to give it a try, and take care of your body."
Zhang Ping nodded: "Mr. Chen, where do you live?" ”
"We just entered the city, since you can't go with us, then I plan to return today, and we have to go to Yanzhou."
"Don't leave today, there is a post station five miles outside the city, I have a post ticket, you can stay there first." I'll go over to you later, and I just want to meet General Man. ”
Chen Kang didn't shirk much, and drove the donkey cart out of the city with the post ticket. Zhang Chang also sighed when he heard Chen Kang talk about Zhang Ping's condition. In the evening, Chen Kang and Zhang Chang prepared wine and food and waited for Zhang Ping.
"Mr. Chen, did you say that Zhang Ping would come?"
"Definitely!"
"Are you so sure?"
"Haven't you heard a word? It is called "things gather people in groups", with the character of the prince, treating people and the behavior of General Zhang and others, I believe he will definitely come! ”
Bang bang, a few calls to the door, Zhang Chang turned around and opened the door, Zhang Ping stood outside the door. Although Zhang Chang also heard what Chen Kang said, Zhang Ping seemed to be very sick, but he was still startled by Zhang Ping's thin and unphased appearance, and the gray round-necked robe looked a little loose on his body, how could he look like a military general back then. When the brothers met on the battlefield back then, the emotions of meeting Chen Kang were different, the brothers hugged each other and patted each other, and they didn't know how to say a thousand words.
"Come on! The food and drinks have been arranged, General Zhang, please take a seat! Chen Kang said on the side.
Zhang Ping walked into the room, and Chen Kang and Zhang Chang noticed that Zhang Ping was followed by a person. This man is about forty years old, tall and black and shiny, with a pair of leopard eyes that looks very energetic, and the most special thing is that he holds a cross vajra in his hand, and the whole person stands like an iron vajra.
"Come, let me introduce you to you, this is called Zhang Bao."
"Zhang Bao?" Chen Kang couldn't help but be stunned. "Do you have a brother named Zhang Ying?" Chen Kang then asked. Zhang Chang didn't know about Zhang Ying and Zhang Bao, so he quietly asked, "Who is Zhang Ying?" ”
"It's down there!"
Chen Kang looked at Zhang Ping and smiled, and suddenly understood that Zhang Ping couldn't go by himself, but he found a good helper for himself. He hurriedly invited: "Please take a seat!" ”
turned to Zhang Ping and said: "You don't know this, Zhang Ying, nicknamed Earth Leopard, he has a younger brother who sent Yong King Kong Zhang Leopard, and his brother once saved the white-eyed hero Xu Liang with the little righteous man Ai Hu and others." It's a pity that Zhang Ying was later killed by Xiao Wuyi's thunderbolt ghost Han Tianjin, and Zhang Bao left Kaifeng Mansion and didn't know where to go. ”
"Alas! When he was young and vigorous, he simply immediately occupied the mountain in the capital as the king, and later learned that my brother was injured by drugs, and Han Tianjin was to save my brother, and it was too late to regret it! Zhang Bao sighed and said.
Zhang Ping nodded: "Lang Zi will not change the money, since you have already stopped, and you don't want to be recruited by the imperial court, you have to do this thing I asked you to do!" ”
Zhang Bao nodded: "Of course, the king of Zhennan was the righteous son of Prime Minister Bao back then, and I will also come forward for this!" ”
Chen Kang and Zhang Chang were overjoyed, and several people pushed the cup to change the lamp and talked about the events of the year, all of them lamented and regretted. On the second day, Zhang Chang, Chen Kang, and Zhang Bao said goodbye to Zhang Ping and went on the road, can they successfully complete the task assigned by Gao Yu on this trip?
And at this moment, Gao Yu has also come to Xingqing Mansion, facing Liang Luoyao who is about to meet, has Gao Yu thought about how to deal with it?
