Volume 3 Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains 085 Henchmen gather

Some of these measures Zhang Long understood, some he didn't understand, and some made him quite unhappy, but when he thought that this matter was related to social affairs, he could only nod and agree, and then said goodbye and got off the ship and prepared to go overnight.

The next day, when the sky was bright, Zhang Long personally led a group of people, drove a few big carriages, and drove more than 200 horses to Li Shengjie's big ship. These soldiers who were driving the carts and horses did not stay too long, only left the vehicles and horses, and then all left, leaving Zhang Long alone to wait under the boat.

This is because Qiu Yizhi is afraid that the officials and soldiers may be mixed into the Lingnan Dao or Tianzun Sect's spies, so the first one is to ask Zhang Long not to use any officers and soldiers in the escort process, and only use Qiu Yizhi's most trusted pro-soldier Xiangyong, so as not to be taken advantage of and hindered.

Qiu Yizhi saw that all the officers and soldiers were scattered on the boat, so he led Zhao Chengxiao and others down from the boat, and after greeting Zhang Long, he carefully inspected the horses and vehicles, inside and out, and then he was relieved, so he returned to the ship and commanded the soldiers to invite Lingnan Wang Zhenggui to get off the boat.

Zheng Gui is now a prisoner, although he is not convinced, he still has some grace, there is no strong struggle, there is no unreasonable trouble, he sits in the big basket and is slowly hung down, and there is Wei Chi Jiming guarding in the basket.

As soon as the king of Lingnan landed, Qiu Yizhi respectfully invited him to sit in the widest and sturdy one of the carriages.

Zheng Gui raised his eyes and looked around, and only asked, "Where is this?" ”

He listened to Qiu Yizhi's word-for-word reply, "This is the ground in Yangzhou", then nodded, stopped talking, and sat in the carriage alone.

Seeing this, Qiu Yizhi felt a little relieved, and ordered his subordinates to hang the female dependents, sweaty BMWs and the drinking water and food that had been prepared from the boat one by one, loaded them into the car, and sent a trustworthy soldier to ride a fast horse with his letter to the capital Luoyang, which drove the men and horses to move along the main road to Luoyang.

As for the dead Yin Chengliang and the living Yin Tai father and son, although they are also quite important figures, they are a little insignificant compared to Lingnan King Zheng Gui.

And the young ship owner Li Shengjie and Qiu Yizhi asked him to stay at the Yangzhou wharf in the name of waiting for the imperial court to be rewarded, so as not to leak the news.

Li Shengjie is a young man in the end, he doesn't understand Qiu Yizhi's thoughts, and when he heard that the court was rewarded, he happily agreed, just asking the court to provide daily food and rice. These are all trivial matters, Zhang Long is in charge of the affairs of the army along the river, and this little material is not in his heart, so he agreed without thinking about it.

So Qiu Yi and his party, under the personal guidance of Zhang Long, took the big road instead of the small road, and would rather walk slower and more steadily than take the slightest risk.

Fortunately, now the wind of the imperial court to quell the rebellion is blowing very tightly, and there are endless military camps on both sides of the road, not to mention bandits and bandits, Jiangyang thieves, even ordinary petty thieves and extortionists, who are also scared to be much more honest.

After two days of walking through the barracks, the air around me relaxed a little, and in addition to the gradually thinning barracks on both sides of the road, there were also many farmlands waiting for spring ploughing, and a faint city appeared on the horizon in the distance.

Seeing this, Qiu Yi rode on his horse and raised his left hand to signal the team to stop.

Zhang Long hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Your Highness Yi, what's wrong?" Could it be that there is something unusual? ”

Qiu Yizhi didn't answer, looked at the sun and said, "I made an appointment with someone here, look at the time, it should be here." ”

Zhang Long arched his hand and said, "I don't know who His Highness Yi has made an appointment?" We can't afford to delay time right now, so how about we wait while we walk? ”

Qiu Yizhi shook his head: "This place has gradually lost the direct control of our army, and it is already full of dangers, so I would rather be more cautious than slack off......"

Although Zhang Long was a little disapproving, feeling that His Royal Highness was too timid and cautious, he also knew that the matter of escorting the people in the car would never allow for a slight difference, and if something really went wrong, then he would never be able to afford such a heavy responsibility.

So Zhang Long had no choice but to be patient, and sat on the horse with Qiu Yizhi, heading towards the end of the straight and wide road, not knowing what he was looking at.

The two of them waited silently for a cup of tea, and sure enough, they saw a puff of smoke and dust rising in the distance, and it seemed that two fast horses were rapidly approaching. The army did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly arranged the formation of the "Dangya battalion" with the soldiers first, the strong soldiers behind, and the crossbowmen on both wings, lest the comers be unkind.

When the two horsemen gradually approached, Qiu Yizhi saw the faces of the two clearly, and immediately showed a smile on his face, waved his hand to signal his subordinates to relax their guard, and he released the reins, slowly took a few steps forward, turned over and dismounted, and stepped forward.

The two people on the opposite side also saw Qiu Yizhi, so they also dismounted and pulled the reins forward and came to Qiu Yizhi.

One of them gave a military salute and said, "My lord, I have returned, and the matter has been done, and there is no difficulty." ”

Qiu Yizhi nodded and said, "You have worked hard, it's better to return to the team and act with the team." ”

The person who spoke was the soldier who Qiu Yizhi had sent out to do errands before.

The other person was wearing a slightly wide blue lake silk robe, his face was extremely heroic, and he had a thick "one" beard on his lips, and arched his hand towards Qiu Yizhi: "Brother Xian, I haven't seen you for a long time, I really want to die foolish brother." ”

This person is known as the world's first martial arts captain Chi Lianghong, although he is a person from the rivers and lakes, but because of Qiu Yizhi, he was taken by the emperor Zheng Rong's side, not only in front of the head of the forbidden army's martial arts, but also in the criminal department to specialize in the detention of martial arts people. He and Qiu Yizhi have experienced life and death several times, and they are undoubtedly friends in adversity.

Therefore, when Qiu Yi saw him after two years, he was also quite moved, and exchanged a lot of emotional words, and then turned the conversation to the right thing: "Brother, the younger brother is not far away this time, please come over, do you know what it is for?" ”

Yu Chi Lianghong shook his head: "I don't know." It's just that I saw that my brother's subordinate sent a handwritten letter from my brother, and asked the foolish brother to come over immediately and not make a big announcement. The foolish brother knew that his brother had always done things unexpectedly, and there must be a reason for such an arrangement, so he made an excuse, took a leave of absence from Shangfeng, and immediately rushed over. As for what exactly I need help with, the foolish brother didn't guess. ”

Qiu Yizhi nodded, approached Wei Chi Lianghong and said: "The younger brother caught an important person on the battlefield and was about to be sent to the capital Luoyang, lest someone rob people on the road, so I asked my brother to come over to protect him." ”

Yu Chi Lianghong was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Isn't the little girl Ji Ming by the side of the virtuous brother?" Her martial arts are quite eye-catching, even she is not so sure, she is afraid that this person caught by the virtuous brother is really very important. ”

Qiu Yiyi said with a smile: "It's not that Ji Ming is not sure, it's just that this person is too important to make a difference." Besides, the younger brother feels that along the way, there may be a difficult opponent who is secretly watching, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to take care of it by Ji Ming alone......"

Wei Chi Lianghong was even more puzzled when he heard this, and subconsciously looked up, and saw that no one was eavesdropping around, so he asked in a low voice: "I don't know who the virtuous brother is escorting?" Can you tell me about it? ”

Qiu Yi thought that his righteous brother was a confidential person, and he was not afraid of leaking secrets after telling him his identity, and maybe it could make him more energetic, so he leaned into Yu Chi Lianghong's ear and said: "Lingnan King Zhenggui!" ”

When Yu Chi Lianghong heard these five words, he was so shocked that he took half a step back, and looked at Qiu Yizhi with surprised eyes, fortunately, he was the master of the martial arts alliance after all, and he had experienced many winds and waves on the rivers and lakes, and he reacted after a while, and said with a smile: "Brother Xian is really different in doing things." can capture the Lingnan prince, it can be said that it is the first merit to open the world, I don't know how the saint will reward the virtuous brother. Brother Fool is here to congratulate Brother Xian first. As he spoke, he made a gesture to Qiu Yizhi.

Qiu Yi held Wei Chi Lianghong in his arms, and said with a wry smile: "The little brother just wants to send the prince to the capital safely, thank God, where is he still in the mood to think about these things?" ”

As soon as Wei Chi Lianghong thought that this was really the case, he also said with a straight face: "Brother Fool is also a person who eats the court's fortune now, so he also has to do things for the court, and the matter of escorting the King of Lingnan is indeed not sloppy about the court society." Brother Fang Caixian mentioned that there may be a difficult opponent, but I don't know what the identity of this person is? ”

Qiu Yizhi smiled bitterly again: "It's not an outsider, it's an old aunt and grandmother of your Wei Chi family." ”

Yu Chi Lianghong suddenly realized: "It turned out to be her old man." ”

"What? Does my brother really know each other? Qiu Yizhi asked.

This time it was Yu Chi Lianghong's turn to smile bitterly: "This senior is separated from me by two generations, and when her old man had an accident, there was no me in this world." The clan has always been secretive about this matter, and it is related to the grievances of the previous generations, and I can't make any effort to inquire about it, but I have only heard about it slightly. Oh, speaking of which, I didn't know what was going on until Ji Ming wrote me a letter the year before last. ”

Since Yu Chi Jiming was mentioned, Qiu Yizhi said loudly: "Where is Ji Ming?" Your father is here, why don't you come over and say hello? ”

Yu Chi Jiming listened to Qiu Yizhi's shout, and it took a long time to dodge and squeeze out of the crowd, and said to Yu Chi Lianghong timidly with his head down: "Dad, I'm here." ”

Wei Chi Lianghong only replied with a "um" and stopped talking.

Qiu Yizhi felt a little funny when she saw the father and daughter answering each other like this, so she made a round and said: "When you father and daughter meet, why do you make it like an enemy on the rivers and lakes to make a harmonious wine?" In this way, I don't think we will be in a hurry today, so find a safe and secluded place, stay down first, and discuss the countermeasures carefully. ”

Yu Chi Lianghong naturally had no reason to object, so he nodded and agreed.

Qiu Yizhi was afraid that it would be easy to get out of trouble when he went to a crowded place in the city, so he chose a post station next to the official road and asked Zhang Long to send away all the post men and errands in the name of the military, which was regarded as a temporary requisition.

With the presence of two martial arts masters, Yu Chi Lianghong and Yu Chi Jiming, and the guards around him were all trustworthy people, Qiu Yi was still a little uneasy in her heart, and asked Zhao Chengxiao to accompany her to inspect the small post station inside and out, up and down, twice, and then returned to her bedroom.

Pushing the door into the house, I saw that in the palm-sized room, Lin Shuhan, Yu Chi Lianghong, Yu Chi Jiming and Zhang Long were already sitting, each holding a cup of warm tea and didn't know what to say.

Yu Chiji saw that it was Qiu Yizhi and Zhao Chengxiao who came in, and knew that he was a junior, so he got up and stood aside and gave up a chair.

Seeing that his daughter was sensible, Wei Chi Lianghong on the side smiled with satisfaction and greeted: "Brother Xian, please take a seat, I have admired the name of Mr. Lin Shuhan for a long time, and I am asking Mr. Lin for advice." ”
