One hundred and fifty Jinyi guards were divided into two teams to follow Zhang Ru's ass, and in front of the team were the officers of the City Gate Division who had mutinied in front of the General Soldier's Mansion, and a man named Sun Man led five hundred Guangning Wei soldiers to open the way.

Of course, these people were not sent by Wu Qian, they were forcibly taken from Wu Qian by Zhang Peng, the secretary of the military department, on the pretext of escorting Qin to Beijing.

The mighty procession walked on the not very spacious pipe, stretching the line very long. There were too many people, plus the people of Quang Ninh City who saw them off, nearly 1,000 people.

The other people I met on the road also said what kind of official traveled, and they avoided it one by one.

In order to take care of a few imperial historians who were not good at riding horses, the speed of travel was very slow, and at this procrastinating speed, I didn't know that it would be the year of the monkey and the month of the horse to return to the capital.

Zhang Ru was naturally not in a hurry, he wished that the speed would be slower, only by giving the people in the capital enough time to prepare, he would be able to wipe out those people.

However, Zhang Peng couldn't sit still, and every time the team stopped to rest, he would run to Zhang Ru's tent to pull around, and the purpose was nothing more than one, that is, to speed up the march.

He was born as a military general, so he is naturally not afraid of riding a horse, but if he speeds up, he will only suffer a few officials. Of course, Zhang Ru doesn't care whether those officials are dead or alive, everyone has already targeted him, and he doesn't need to think about the other party. It's just that his goal is the capital, and it is good for him to slow down.

A few weak imperial historians became an excuse for Zhang Ru to slow down the speed, Zhang Peng asked again and again, Zhang Ru shirked again and again, and finally the speed slowed down a lot.

After walking for ten days, the team only reached Xingcheng, less than half of the distance.

After resting in Xingcheng for two days, the thousands of households in Xingcheng received them in person, and they almost knelt on the ground to lick Zhang Ru's boots. He was really a little afraid of Zhang Ru, the lord of Yama, after all, he was the one who would kill the Jinyi Wei Qianhu wherever he went.

If it's an ordinary person, then forget it, but this master is a good brother of the prince, and he is a person that His Majesty relies on very much today. If it weren't for Zhang Peng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, who threatened him several times, these thousands of households would have to keep Zhang Ru for a few days.

After starting again, pass through Suizhong and enter the customs through Shanhaiguan.

After passing the pass, it was already night, after they passed the pass of Shanhaiguan, the city gate was closed, and the night officially fell, the exhausted Xue Chang and others proposed to stop and rest, Zhang Ru nodded and agreed without asking Zhang Peng's meaning.

Zhang Peng held back his anger and took a few people to the restaurant in Guancheng to drink, but he didn't expect that not long after arriving at the restaurant, Zhang Ru came with a few people like a fart.

"What's the matter with the Overseer?" Zhang Peng's anger did not subside.

Zhang Ru pulled a stool and sat down by himself, and said with a smile: "Don't be angry, Lord Ministry!" You see so many brothers, people are sleepy and tired, if something happens on the road, the brothers can't cope with it. It's okay to walk slowly, anyway, what is black is black, and what is white is white, and when the time comes, the kid is really guilty, and he is not in a hurry for these days! ”

Zhang Peng's tone softened: "This official doesn't want to blame you, it's just that if you drag it out like this, Your Majesty will inevitably have other thoughts in your heart." What others think is not important, but what His Majesty thinks is the most important. ”

Zhang Ru said with a smile: "Thank you for your protection, but I need time, I need time to prepare evidence for those in the capital who want me to die, only in this way can I know how many people in the capital want me to die, and how many people don't want me to die." Every day outside, reminding the scared life is really uncomfortable, and only once and for all, is the best way.

If you have to withstand the storm, you might as well let the storm come harder.

If the kid can't afford it, it's a big deal to die, and if he can't afford it, he has to kill a few people to feel at ease. ”

Zhang Peng sighed: "You are too angry, those people are not one or two people, not one or twenty people, it is a group of interests." Do you think you can shake it on your own? ”

Zhang Ru said firmly: "You don't know until you have to do it, if you don't do it, how do you know that you won't succeed." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Peng suddenly felt that he couldn't raise his head in front of this young man, don't look at him as the secretary of the Ministry of War, but many orders could not be issued without the consent of the cabinet. And it only took him one year to change from an upright official to an official who knows the golden mean.

He thought about changing the situation in the court, but when he learned about the power of that force, he lost the courage to change it all, because he still had his family, relatives and friends behind him.

"You just have to make your own decisions after you think about it, and the official can't help you much, you have to fight for a lot of things by yourself." After Zhang Peng thought about it, he said melancholy.

The meaning of this is clear, that is, he wants to protect himself.

In fact, Zhang Ru didn't think how much he could help himself in the court, after all, in such a big environment, there are very few people who can be a minister, and how many people stay in the position of a squire for a lifetime, and they don't have the ability to move their buttocks. How many people didn't even sit on the buttocks, and they dismounted.

Zhang Peng has been able to sit in the position of the secretary of the military department for three years, and he must have his ability.

With a simple salt-baked peanut, the two drank cheap rice wine that was not mellow in the city, and talked about the past of the capital. Of course, most of the time it is Zhang Peng who is talking about his past, after all, some of Zhang Ru's past is a secret that cannot be declared.

The things in the palace are not a good thing to say, they are used by people with intentions, but I am afraid that the Guangning murder incident will not allow him, the governor of the Nine Sides, to get off the horse, but the big mouth can allow him to spend the rest of his life in Dali Temple Zhao Prison.

Chatting and chatting, both of them were a little drunk, and at this time, three people walked in from the door, one was a monk with a hat, saying that he was a monk, all because he was wearing a tattered robe.

The monk was followed by a woman with a black veil on her face, and judging from the woman's posture, this woman should be a rare beauty. However, beside the woman, there was a very handsome man following closely, and looking like that, it was probably the woman's suitor.

The city is not large, and Zhang Ru's people are distributed around the small restaurant, so it is naturally impossible to prevent others from entering the restaurant.

The three of them sat down at a table behind Zhang Ru, and the young man shouted at Xiao Er very generously: "Xiao Er, if you have any good wine and good food, just bring it." ”

As soon as he saw the young man's dress, he knew that he was not a master who was short of money, and Xiao Er's ass ran over to sell the dishes and wine in the restaurant: "This official, our steamed puffer fish here is a good dish, and the military masters of Guancheng often come to try it." ”

The young man was not a foolish person, and said coldly: "This puffer fish is the most delicious when it is eaten in January and February, and now it is almost April, where is there any puffer fish to eat." ”

Xiao Er's smile stiffened, and he smiled: "This son knows at a glance that he is not from Guancheng, this puffer fish is indeed the most delicious to eat in January and February, but it does not mean that you can't eat puffer fish in April." The puffer fish in our shop is a recipe made by the imperial kitchen, and Childe will know it as soon as he tries it. ”

"And the last one?" The young man asked the woman in a tentative tone.

The woman didn't speak, but the monk interjected: "The old man is a monk, just have a few light dishes." ”

Xiao Er's face was embarrassed, and he thought to himself, finally a rich man, what are you talking about this bald donkey.

But he just thought about it in his heart, and he would never dare to say it.

The young man also saw Xiao Er's embarrassment, nodded and said: "It's extreme, the master is a vegetarian, you can just serve some side dishes, the oil should be fasted oil, and then give Ben Gongzi a dish of pufferfish, Ben Gongzi has not eaten puffer fish in April, and today can be regarded as a new taste." ”

Xiao Er smiled and nodded and left.

"Master Wuxiang, you see that the person you are looking for has not been found now, it is estimated that he has already returned to the capital, or we will go directly to the capital?" The young man asked cautiously.

Master of Phaselessness?

Zhang Ru was shocked when he heard this name.

He came out in civilian clothes today, and he didn't take much care of it, so it's no wonder that Master Wuxiang and the others didn't recognize him when they came in. Since Master Wuxiang is here, then she must be here too.

"This is to ask the meaning of Qiqi, and thank Tang Gongzi for his care along the way, and the old man is grateful. But Tang Gongzi still don't waste time, the person Qiqi is looking for is not something Tang Gongzi can afford. "If you have no appearance, you don't have any affection for young people.

Tang Gongzi smiled embarrassedly: "Master, don't laugh, all this is Tang Mou's willingness, and when the Qiqi girl finds the negative person, Tang will naturally leave." I just don't know what kind of great person it is, but I was able to take the peace of mind of the Qiqi girl before Tang, I am really unwilling! ”

Wuxiang shook his head slightly: "Buddha said, don't say, Tang Gongzi still don't ask so much, Lao Wei is a person outside the party, and he shouldn't be involved in these things." But Qiqi is the old man who grew up, otherwise the old man would not follow her around. Tang Gongzi doesn't have a deep relationship with Lao Wei, and he doesn't have a deep relationship with Qiqi, so don't let yourself fall into it. ”

Tang Gongzi looked unconvinced: "If you don't see that person, Tang won't leave." ”

At this time, Su Qiqi's voice came out: "Even if you see that person, what can Tang Gongzi do?" ”

Tang Gongzi said lightly: "After seeing him, this son, this son."

Zhang Peng had already noticed that something was wrong with Zhang Ru's face, and his eyes were also attracted by the conversation over there, seeing that Zhang Ru's face was getting more and more wrong, he couldn't help but stand up.

Tang Gongzi saw that someone in front of him stood up, and his eyes turned cold: "What are you going to do?" ”

Zhang Peng didn't know why Zhang Ru's face changed, and he looked a little embarrassed and overwhelmed for a while.
