Zhang Mu rode his horse all the way without stopping, and finally saw the majestic Linhai City.

Linhai City is the seat of the Taizhou Mansion, and Li Yunchang is stationed here.

Today's Li Yunchang is the deputy commander-in-chief of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the commander-in-chief of Taizhou's coastal defense to resist the Japanese invaders.

In the Ming Dynasty, only the positions of general soldier, deputy general soldier, staff general, guerrilla, and garrison were qualified to lead the troops.

In his hands, he has the right to transfer the soldiers of the local guard.

However, the command department of Jiangsu and Zhejiang was not qualified to mobilize soldiers.

In this way, it can be achieved that the generals do not know the soldiers, and the soldiers do not know the generals, and prevent local officials from holding heavy troops and threatening the imperial power.

Generally, the general soldiers or deputy general soldiers have no rank, and most of them are filled by dukes, princes, and people trusted by the emperor.

When there is a war, the emperor will appoint the general army to go out to fight, and when the war is over, the general army will return to the court to resume his life.

Li Yunchang's promotion to deputy commander-in-chief of Jiangsu and Zhejiang this time shows that the emperor appreciates him very much.

Zhang Mu turned over and dismounted, and saw that outside Linhai City, there were soldiers checking the people entering the city.

Zhang Mu pondered in his heart, counting from the day of the accident, it has been five days now, even if the post horse at the post station runs slowly, I am afraid that the arrest warrant will also reach Taizhou.

Entering the city like this is very risky.

So, Zhang Mu simply went to the market outside the city, sold the horses, and spent money to change clothes with a beggar.

That beggar has lived so long, and he has never seen a person like Zhang Mu, who doesn't wear good clothes, but he has to be tattered and full of filth.

Holding a string of money in his hand, he looked at Zhang Mu like a monster, and waited until Zhang Mu disappeared from his sight before the beggar muttered: "The rich people now are really elusive." ”

Subsequently, Zhang Mu found another dog beating stick, made a broken bowl, spread his hair apart, and touched a handful of black ash on his face.

Zhang Mu looked down and saw his outfit and was very satisfied.

I wondered in my heart, although there are wanted warrants and portraits, but after all, this is the Ming Dynasty, he is dressed like this, who can recognize him?

So he simply dared to go towards the gate of Linhai City.

Sure enough, when he arrived at the city gate, a small flag officer glanced at Zhang Mu and let him go directly.

Zhang Mu swaggered into Linhai City like this.

The scale of Linhai City is larger than some other cities, the north pillows Dagu Mountain, the south is connected to Jianzi Mountain, the front is around the Lingjiang River, and the city wall is solid.

Perennial pirates intruded, the city walls of Linhai City have been continuously reinforced, and guards have been set up around to train sailors, and the pirates have not dared to come here to make a mistake over the years.

Zhang Mu inquired all the way, and finally arrived at the Linhai Yamen.

Li Yunchang is the deputy commander-in-chief, and Zhang Mu speculates that there is a chance that he will live here.

It's just that the Linhai Yamen is strictly controlled, after all, there is a war now, and the guards outside are Li Yunchang's personal soldiers.

Zhang Mu sat on the steps of the grocery store opposite the yamen, and waited for an afternoon, but he didn't see Li Yunchang's shadow at all.

Seeing that it was getting dark and there was a curfew in the city, Zhang Mu was getting more and more anxious.

Just in the moment of despair, suddenly there was a shout.

The so-called shouting road means that when the officials are out, the errand officer who leads the way in front of him drinks and orders pedestrians to give way to avoid it.

Zhang Mu looked back and saw that Li Yunchang was sitting on a tall horse, with a depressed face, and was dismounting.

Zhang Mu immediately got up and rushed over, and Li Yunchang's personal soldiers also relaxed their vigilance when they saw that they had returned to the yamen.

Immediately, Zhang Mu rushed to Li Yunchang and shouted, "Master Li, you are wronged." ”

――――――――――――――――――――

The evening glow burned the sky.

In the hot Hangzhou, the heat has not dissipated.

In Tianxin Garden, the little county lord sat on the swing under the flower shelf, frowning.

Yan Su took off his men's clothes, put on a pink half-arm, tied a pink pomegranate skirt on his lower body, and had long black hair, which was simply pulled into a loose braid and hung down on his developing chest.

A pair of red phoenix eyes, blazing, not angry and self-assured.

The red lips under the small nose wanted to stop talking, looking at her anxious and slightly warm and angry appearance, it was really distressing.

Her slender hands like green onions, tightly holding the black broken water stream, stood behind the little county lord with one person and one knife, and a killing intent permeated out, so that the waiting maids around did not dare to approach.

The little county lord was sullen, occasionally kicked the dirt under his feet, and couldn't help but sigh lightly.

"Your Highness, I'm here to say goodbye." Yan Su finally mustered up the courage to say.

After hearing this, the little county lord hurriedly turned around and saw Yan Su, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he said in surprise: "You look so beautiful in women's clothes." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness the County Lord, for your compliment. I've been here for a day and it's time to say goodbye. Yan Su mentioned again.

"If you leave now, I'm afraid it's going to be very dangerous. I advise you to stay for another day, and when you go to Fulong Temple to offer incense the day after tomorrow, I will quietly send you out. The little county lord lowered his voice and said to Nunu outside the door.

Yan Su knew that since she entered Tianxin Garden, Geng Rui had been sending people to keep an eye on her.

"I'm worried about Zhang Mu's safety, and if I can't find him, I can't rest assured. As for those tails, I will shake them off, and I don't have to worry about them. Although Yan Su was grateful to the little county lord for saving her, she didn't want to accept the little county lord's favor.

After all, in Yan Su's heart, the little county lord was a great threat to her, so her tone was inevitably stiffer.

"Sister Yan, what is the relationship between you and Zhang Mu?" The little county lord finally couldn't help but ask.

Originally, Yan Su who was rescued that day planned to bring him back to Tianxin Garden, but Geng Rui repeatedly blocked him, saying that there was a difference between men and women.

So Yan Su simply revealed his identity, which made Geng Rui have nothing to say, but surprised the little county lord.

Zhang Mu has always kept her by his side, even a fool can guess that their relationship is not ordinary.

The soul of gossip in the main body of the small county couldn't help but burn.

Looking at her embarrassed and shy appearance, the little county lord clapped his hands and said, "Could it be that you are privately committed for life?" ”

According to the ancient etiquette, it is taboo to make a private decision for life, and Yan Su hurriedly explained: "No ......, no." It's just that the two families are old friends. ”

"Friends? That's a childhood sweetheart. The little county lord said enviously.

Yan Su hurriedly shook his head, but after a while, he nodded slightly, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

When the little county lord saw this, he didn't know why, and suddenly felt a sense of loss in his heart, feeling like he had lost a piece of jade pendant rewarded by his grandfather when he was a child.

Looking back at the high walls on all sides, like a cage, I couldn't help but sigh and say, "I envy you so much." ”
