Zheng Jin squinted slightly, looking at the misty Tiantong Mountain, he didn't speak for a long time, and after a long time, he turned his head, glanced at the ruined Gu family's carriage, and then turned his head and asked the guard: "According to this, where is the nearest town?"

This is the official road of Jiangnan Road, but this section of the official road at the foot of Tiantong Mountain is really deserted, you have to walk along the official road for about 50 miles, there is a small town, and then walk 20 miles through the town, it is Tong County under the jurisdiction of Chunzhou Government.

The guard answered truthfully, while Zheng Jin pondered for a moment before turning his head to look at Gu Yilan and asking: "Miss Gu Jiu, this place is still far from Ningling, and your carriage has been destroyed, if you don't dislike it, Miss can take the king's carriage first, and the king will escort you to the next Tong County?"

Gu Yilan naturally has no opinion, the Gu family has a total of four carriages, three of which were destroyed by bandits, and even two horses have run away, so it is naturally the safest choice to follow Zheng Jin.

After the foothills of Tiantong Mountain, and really enter the territory of Chunzhou Mansion, the official roads of Jiangnan Road are all plains, the towns are dense, and the road is very safe.

"The prince doesn't need to give up the carriage for the little girl," Gu Yilan immediately bowed down and made a blessing to King Yi: "The carriage in the little girl's house, there is still one that can be used, and the little girl can ride with the subordinates."

"Miss Gu Jiu doesn't have to be polite." Zheng Jin smiled and shook her head: "Miss went on a long trip to visit her parents this time, compared to bringing a lot of luggage and belongings, how can a carriage be squeezed."

"That can't disturb the prince," Gu Yilan lowered her head and replied respectfully: "Those things, if you can't bring them, you won't bring them, the little girl's escape this time is already God's blessing, thanks to the blessing of the prince and General Xiao Mu, it is already a great luck to be able to see her parents safely, as for those things outside the body, just give them up."

"It's good for this king to ride a horse," Zheng Jin's attitude was very insistent, and he smiled at Gu Yilan: "Miss Gu Jiu doesn't have to excuse herself."

Speaking of this, Gu Yilan couldn't refuse, so she had to take all the servants and guards of the Gu family and respectfully gave Zheng Jin a big gift, thanked Zheng Jin for saving her life, and then thanked Zheng Jin for her escort.

Zheng Jin looked very calm, and generously accepted Gu Yilan's courtesy. After that, he immediately sent someone to remove his personal belongings from the carriage and gave up the carriage to Gu Yilan.

"Miss Gu Jiu can go to the carriage to rest first," Zheng Jin told Gu Yilan with a smile: "It's better to tidy up this mess."

Gu Yilan thanked Zheng Jin again, and then left with the servants of the Gu family and got into the car, she was very smart, and after getting in the car, she specially ordered the servants at home to stay away from King Yi, so as not to disturb King Yi's deliberations.

When the Gu family left, Zheng Jin's guard commander frowned slightly, and asked with some hesitation: "Lord Wang, do we really want to escort Miss Gu to Tong County?" Lord Wang, you take Jiangnan Road, planning to pass through Tiantong Mountain, isn't it just to save two days of travel, if you deliberately escort Miss Gu again, I'm afraid we will have to delay a lot of time. ”

"Just by the way." Zheng Jin smiled slightly: "The bandits here are serious, and the people of Li have suffered a lot, if this king passes by and sees it but sits idly by, wouldn't he have failed his father's love for the people?"

After pondering for a moment, the commander of the guards bowed his head and replied, "It's a subordinate who has thought about it."

"Send someone now, take the king's token, and quickly deliver the urgent letter to the Chunzhou Mansion Yin," Zheng Jin ordered: "Let him quickly order troops to suppress the bandits, and tell him that the king is waiting for him in Tong County."

"Yes!" The commander of the guards nodded, directly turned around and stretched out his hand to summon a guard, and whispered a few words, the guard took the token handed over by the commander of the guards, nodded and set off quickly.

"Lord Wang, do you want to deliver the news to the palace now?" After the commander of the guards sent his subordinates away, he turned his head and asked: "In order to protect the Li people of Chunzhou and Wangzhou, the prince decided to suppress bandits here, and the emperor will be happy to know it."

"The use of Chunzhou officers and soldiers is naturally to report to my father," Zheng Jin replied with a serious face: "This king does not have the right to dispatch government soldiers, and this matter is expedient, but it is also necessary to give my father a request for guilt."

"Yes." The commander of the guards nodded in response: "The subordinates will contact our messenger."

"In addition," Zheng Jin thought for a while and added: "Send a message to the other side, let them go slowly, and they must not go to Zhending Mansion before this king."

"Don't worry," the guard commander nodded: "The subordinates will arrange it properly."

When Zheng Jinhe ordered the guards to command, Mu Zhengyi was standing not far away, looking at his nose and nose, as if he didn't care about what Zheng Jin said.

In fact, Mu Zhengyi really didn't care much about what Zheng Jin had arranged. He couldn't wait to stay away, but unfortunately, as a guard of Xiao Jinwei, he really couldn't get too far away from Zheng Jin on the official road infested by bandits.

And how could Zheng Jin ignore Mu Zhengyi, who was idle on the side, and after ordering the commander of the guards, he took the initiative to talk to Mu Zhengyi again.

"General Xiao Mu," Zheng Jin took the initiative to ask, "If you personally lead the soldiers of Chunzhou Mansion to suppress bandits, how many men and horses do you need?"

This is a question that needs to be answered seriously, Mu Zhengyi thought about it carefully before answering: "If you want to be insured, the more natural people, the better, but with such a strong army, I am afraid that the bandits on the mountain will be prepared in advance." Therefore, the subordinates suggested that they first send some people to touch the mountain, find out the location of the bandits' cottage, and feel the situation. There should not be many people who touch the situation, and it is best to be a scout or secret guard who is good at concealment. ”

"This king knows," Zheng Jin nodded, and he thought for a moment before he said to Mu Zhengyi: "In terms of soldiers, I'm afraid that the military attaches of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty are not as good as General Mu's." Therefore, the suppression of bandits in Tiantong Mountain has to worry a lot about General Xiao Mu. Borrowing troops, the king can come forward, and the king doesn't understand the leading troops, so he can only rely on the general. ”

This is a serious matter, and Mu Zhengyi will not shirk it, so he solemnly hugged his fist at Zheng Jin and replied, "The last general should do his best."

"Since everything has been agreed, we don't have to continue to delay here, just leave a few people here to guard," Zheng Jin turned around, took the lead in walking towards the horse team, and stretched out his hand to hold one of the horses: "It's better to rush to Tong County as soon as possible, and wait for Chunzhou Mansion Yin and Thorn Shi to arrive before making a decision."

Mu Zhengyi originally wanted to apply for another guard and wait for the officers and soldiers, but he didn't expect that Zheng Jin gagged him in advance as if he had guessed what he wanted to say.

"You don't have to worry about General Xiao Mu when you go up the mountain to find out the situation," Zheng Jin said: "The general should go to Tong County with this king as soon as possible and discuss with the assassin how to arrange the troops."
