To say that Su Hao did not have the slightest worry or even fear about this trip to Banzhou is false. He was a science and engineering man in his previous life, and he didn't know things such as the three major expeditions of Wanli, but from the situation described to him by Ye Mengxiong, Chen Dao and others, he also knew that Yang Yinglong was the local emperor of Banzhou, and such a person could be tyrannical and unreasonable.

But now, he can't help but worry about his safety. From the time he left Fengcheng with the officers and soldiers of the survey battalion, he had already been involved in disputes, and no matter what kind of risks lay ahead, he could only go up hard.

The survey camp did surveying and mapping in Banshu, under the pretense of prospecting, because only this reason is the most reasonable. Now, Yang Yinglong has discovered the actions of the Kanyu Battalion and seized the men and horses of the Kanyu Battalion, if no one proves that they are indeed prospecting, the detained soldiers of the Kanyu Battalion may encounter accidents, and at the same time, Yang Yinglong will also realize that the imperial court intends to attack him, so as to start an incident in advance.

So far, the imperial court is not ready to deal with Yang Yinglong's rebellion, and if Yang Yinglong suddenly rises up, the prefectures and counties around Banzhou will bear the brunt of the battle, and hundreds of people will face misery. When tens of thousands of lives were tied to Su Hao, how could he only care about his own safety and stay out of the matter?

Su Hao and Chen Guanyu borrowed two horses from the Chaotian Post House and marched generously towards Banzhou. Su Hao's idea was that since he had been exposed, there was no point in hiding his head and tail, and it was better to act publicly. In this way, Yang Yinglong cannot act rashly.

Chen Guanyu was riding on a horse, his face was full of bitterness, and he kept asking Su Hao: "Master Su, are we really going to see Yang Yinglong?" ”

Su Hao said: "It's not to see Yang Yinglong, but to see Yang Chaodong, he is Yang Yinglong's son." ”

"Isn't that the same thing?" Chen Guanyu said, "I heard in Chongqing that Yang Yinglong has the intention of rebellion, and his son will definitely not be much better." Let's go see him, in case he gets too beastly. What can we do if it's not good for us? ”

Su Hao said with a smile: "Lao Chen, this matter of rebellion, you can't talk nonsense after you arrive in Banzhou, it will cause trouble." ”

"Of course I won't talk nonsense." Chen Guanyu said, "But that's what everyone said, master, haven't you heard of it?" ”

When Su Hao discussed military aircraft with Chen Dao and others, he did not let Chen Guanyu participate. Therefore, Chen Guanyu's intention to rebel against Yang Yinglong is completely hearsay. He couldn't figure out whether Su Hao knew about it. Su Hao was noncommittal to Chen Guanyu's words, but said with a smile: "Old Chen, whether this Yang Yinglong is going to rebel is not something we can manage, what we have to do is to rescue our people." So, after arriving in Banshu, you and I will act with a good look. ”

Chen Guanyu also got on the thief ship and couldn't get down. I had to reluctantly agree: "Okay, anyway, my old bones have already been sold to the master, whatever the master says, I will do what the old way." ”

Su Hao said: "Lao Chen, you must remember what I told you along the way, don't say anything wrong." ”

"Remember." Chen Guanyu said, "Your ancestor is the twenty-sixth generation of Heavenly Master of Yuhua Mountain. The road is profound. I am your father's apprentice, and you are my young master, right? ”

"Exactly." Su Hao said, "Old Chen." I've wronged you to be my senior brother for once. ”

Chen Guanyu hurriedly said: "How dare you, this is my old honor." ”

The two of them chatted and walked, and halfway through a night's rest in a post house called Songkan Station, then changed horses and continued to move forward. In the evening of the next day, the two finally arrived outside Banshu Castle.

The walls of Banshu Castle are not high, and there are Tusi soldiers guarding the gate and checking the pedestrians entering and leaving. On the tower of the city gate, there is Yang Yinglong's toast flag, which is colorful and green, and there is no pattern. Several soldiers stood lazily in front of the toast flag, spears in their hands, and were kind of guards at the city gates.

If you look at the deployment of the city gate alone, it will give people the feeling that the defense of the entire Banju Propaganda Division is lax. But Su Hao had already learned from Chen Dao and Fu Zhong that the real focus of Yang Yinglong's defense was not in Banzhou City, but the military hoards scattered all over Banzhou. These military hoards are often built on the mountain, which is equivalent to a fortress one by one. When the Mongols marched from Nanzhao to Jiangnan, Yang Yinglong's ancestors relied on these military hoards to protect themselves.

These days, the survey battalion is surveying and mapping in various parts of Banzhou, and the surveying and mapping data transmitted back also includes the location and simple situation of those military hoards. If Yang Yinglong knew that his troop allocation had been peeked at with a telescope and made a picture book, he would have gone berserk a long time ago.

When two people came on horseback, the Tusi soldiers at the gate of the city became vigilant, they raised their spears flat, faced Su Hao and Chen Guanyu, and shouted loudly in blunt official language: "Stop, who is coming, report the surname by name!" ”

Su Hao gestured to Chen Guanyu, Chen Guanyu drove forward, came to the front of the Tusi soldiers, and without waiting to speak, he first recited the sentence: "Immeasurable Tianzun, dare to ask if this is Banzhou City?" ”

"Of course, this is Banzhou City, that person, where are you from, and what are you doing in Banzhou?" A small leader of the Tusi soldiers stepped forward and asked.

Chen Guanyu said: "Poor Chen Guanyu, a native of Jiangxi, this time I accompanied the young master of my family to Banzhou to visit General Yang. ”

"Who is the young master of your family?" The little leader continued to ask, and at the same time turned his gaze to Su Hao, who was staying behind, wondering if this person met the criteria of "young master".

"Student Jiangxi Su Hao, who came to Banzhou with Senior Brother Chen this time, made a special trip to visit Yang Chaodong and General Yang." Su Hao stepped forward and replied, when he spoke, the expression on his face was faint, and he looked like a very unbeaten son.

"Presumptuous, the name of the queen of my family, how can you, a poor scholar, mention it!" The little boss rebuked. Chen Guanyu was wearing a Taoist robe, while Su Hao was wearing a Xiucai shirt, and the little boss was able to show that Su Hao was a scholar, and then he added the word "poor" as a label on his own initiative.

Maybe it was this poor word that stimulated Su Hao, he smiled slightly, took out a piece of broken silver from his arms, threw it to the little leader, and said, "The student lost his words and took the liberty of it." The little brother was annoyed to report to General Yang on my behalf, and said that Su Hao, the twenty-seventh generation celestial master of Yuhua Mountain, Jiangxi, asked to see him, and there was a great wealth to give to him. ”

The little boss didn't watch out for Su Hao suddenly throwing out the silver, and when he reached out to take it, his hand was smashed by the silver, and he was slightly in pain. However, when he took the money, there was no complaint at all. The piece of silver weighed a tael, equivalent to two months' salary for the little leader. You must know that even if a toast soldier has made a meritorious service, Yang Chaodong is happy, and when he wants to give a reward, he has never given such a generous reward. What kind of heavenly master in Jiangxi Province just let himself help spread the word, and he actually threw over more than one or two pieces of silver, what a wealthy and wealthy benefactor.

"Hehe, it turned out to be Su Xiucai, ah no, it's Su Tianshi, the little eyes are clumsy, and he is disrespectful." The little leader immediately changed his face with a smile and said, "Master Su, it's almost night now, my queen master must be eating, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to go to see him at this time." Otherwise, Su Tianshi will go to the city inn to rest for one night first, and then report to you tomorrow, how about you? ”

In fact, this kind of small leader who defends the city is not qualified to report anything to Yang Chaodong, he can only report the matter to his superiors, and then pass on the news layer by layer. As for whether Yang Chaodong will meet Su Hao, it is not something that this little boss can guess.

Su Hao naturally knew that things were not so simple, so he nodded and said, "Then bother my brother to report to the students tomorrow." Is there any elegant inn in this city, can you tell us about it, brother? ”

"Yes, yes, don't go far into the city gate, there is a Admiralty Inn opposite the archway, which is very luxurious, and it is suitable for a prince like you to stay." The little boss enthusiastically introduced.

"Thank you." Su Hao arched his hand to the little leader and rode forward. The little boss hurriedly beckoned his subordinates to get out of the way and let Su Hao and Chen Guanyu enter the city.

"Team leader, let's just let them into the city? These two can't be spies, right? ”

As Su Hao and Chen Guanyu entered the city gate, a toast soldier cautiously reminded the little leader. A few days ago, the head of the city gate soldiers came to convey Yang Yinglong's instructions, asking everyone to strictly guard against spies, so everyone has this string in their heads.

The little leader threw the piece of silver in his hand, his face was happy, and when he heard the reminder of his subordinates, he glared at him and said, "What do you know, you didn't come on a tall horse without them, and it was obvious that he was a person with status, how could such a person be a spy?" ”

Why can't a person with an identity be a spy, this kind of reasoning Tusi Bing can't understand, but they don't plan to dwell too much on this matter, their eyes are fixed on the silver two in the hands of the little leader.

"What?" The little leader rebuked, "This is a reward from the guest, what are you?" …… That's it, now that everyone has seen it, I invited you for dinner today, let's cut two catties of sauce meat, and one person will have two taels of barley wine, how about it? ”

"Team Leader Shengming!" The Tusi soldiers were all jubilant, and they had long forgotten about any such things as spies.

Su Hao and Chen Guanyu rode into the city on horseback and walked forward along the street. Walk not far, sure enough, to a memorial arch, there is a building opposite, in front of the door to pick a banner, on the book "Admiralty Inn" four words. Su Hao and the others drove forward and came to the door of the inn, and the little maid in the inn hurriedly greeted them when they heard the voice, and also greeted them in a blunt official language: "The guest is here, please come inside!" ”

Su Hao jumped off the horse, threw the reins to the little maid, and asked them to lead the horse to feed the fodder, while he walked towards the inn with square steps. Behind him, Chen Guanyu also handed over the horse to the little maid, and followed Su Hao into the inn. (To be continued.)
