Chapter 611: Military Emergency
After the business was done, Zhang Zhongjun also relaxed, and led his subordinates to purchase in Magong Town, and Peng Quanwu, who followed, reminded Zhang Zhongjun that the pen, ink and paper were a little out of grade, and they were all bargains in the town.
Zhang Zhongjun, who had a lot of money, naturally found a local guide without saying a word, and was led to a pen and ink shop on the main road of Magong Town to purchase.
Seeing the exquisite four treasures of the study room and the gorgeous and easy-to-use paper inside, Peng Quanwu and a few documents couldn't walk.
Zhang Zhongjun looked at the price, it is worthy of a luxury store, and the paper of one or two silver and a knife is actually the cheapest here. The ink ingot of a hundred taels of silver is still only a mid-range product!
For these things that are of little practical use, no matter how rich Zhang Zhongjun is, he will not ask the price, and buy anything expensive, because this is a consumable item of the district government, and it is not his own treasure.
Therefore, Zhang Zhongjun only purchased the cheapest four treasures and paper in the study, but this has already made the owners of this store run out to entertain them personally, because the amount purchased by Zhang Zhongjun is too much. Not to mention anything else, just looking at the paper can be seen by starting with a hundred dollars.
Just when Zhang Zhongjun was spending money like flowing water, which made his subordinates extremely painful, an eager sound of horses' hooves came from outside, which attracted everyone's attention, and the shopkeeper glanced at it and subconsciously muttered: "Riding a horse in the city?
Zhang Zhongjun also poked his head out curiously, not only him, but also the people on the street looked at the place where the sound of horses' hooves came from. Riding a horse in the city is a big crime, even if the emperor goes out on patrol, it is a very big crime.
But there are no absolutes in anything, and in the Great Chen Dynasty, the only thing that can ride a horse in the city is ...... Zhang Zhongjun suddenly remembered one of the items he saw in those officialdom materials after he became an official, and his face couldn't help but change.
Then he saw a knight in a fiery red tight-fitting suit with a red and white flag stuck behind his back, galloping his horse and shouting: "Death to those who stand in the way!"
"Is it actually an urgent military situation? Are you kidding? Could it be that an enemy actually dares to attack the city?!" The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, but then he seemed to remember something, his face changed, and he hurriedly bowed his hand to Zhang Zhongjun and said: "This guest officer, please understand, the shop is closing." As he spoke, he scolded a few guys and ran away.
Zhang Zhongjun's face also changed, damn, didn't you say that the White Lotus Sect didn't dare to attack Magong Town? Why did the military intelligence report run wildly on the street? The shopkeeper must have known about the White Lotus Sect's rebellion in the near future, so he hurriedly ran away without even doing business.
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhongjun did not hesitate, and immediately said to his subordinates: "Hurry up! Gather people to leave immediately!"
Peng Quanwu, an insider, saw the reaction of the shop owner and Zhang Zhongjun, and naturally immediately reacted to what was happening, and eagerly followed Zhang Zhongjun out.
After gathering everyone in the water forest area, the group of people didn't have time to say goodbye to the officials they had known in the city in the past few days, so they directly took their luggage and ran to the port in the city.
As soon as the group arrived at the dock, Zhang Zhongjun was shocked to find that there were already thousands of city guards wearing armor and holding swords, under the command of an official wearing a seven-rank official robe, the entire port had been blocked, and all the sailors and other personnel who stayed on the ship were ordered to get off the ship, and those who wanted to get on the ship were all restricted from boarding.
Although everyone was puzzled and anxious, no one dared to say anything, and they all obediently obeyed the order to assemble at the dock, and those who had left behind from the ship also found their own partners and gathered.
It's no wonder that everyone is so obedient, because this is a city guard that never moves easily, and the lowest-level soldiers of the city guard all have the strength of the peak of the muscle and bone realm, and it can be said that it is the largest and strongest force that a civilian official can control. Once the city guards are dispatched in the city, it is a very huge matter in Magong Town, and when the task is carried out, there is no emotion to talk about.
And this kind of rule has been handed down in Magong Town for hundreds of years, as long as the city residents of the Great Chen Dynasty know this very well, so although everyone is extremely angry, no one dares to disobey the orders of the city guards.
"Your Excellency. The people who stayed behind all came to Zhang Zhongjun's side, Zhang Zhongjun just waved his hand, and they lined up in three teams according to the identities of the catcher, patrol, and shop manpower, that is, the personnel who released the platoon, and a few documents naturally gathered around Zhang Zhongjun.
In this way, the queue was formed at once, and it was evident that it was dazzling compared to the other ordinary people who were still whispering and standing casually, although they did not make a loud noise. Almost instantly, Zhang Zhongjun's group received countless glances.
Zhang Zhongjun naturally looked at the crowd on the dock with his golden finger, there were too many people to count, at least tens of thousands of people existed, he was not surprised that so many people gathered at a wharf, as long as he looked at the countless ships moored densely outside the port, he knew that such a few people were few.
Although it is not clear to see, it can easily distinguish the general strength of the people, in the vast gray, there are thousands of red strength air masses, all of them are the leaders or small leaders of each group. Then there are the orange air masses, which are nearly a thousand, the yellow air masses are hundreds, and the green air masses are also dozens.
This means that among the tens of thousands of people in this wharf, there are three or four thousand in the True Yuan Realm, nearly 1,000 in the Pulp Washing Realm, hundreds in the Soul Gathering Realm, and dozens in the Liquid Dan Realm.
Oh my God, according to the regulations of the Great Chen Dynasty that you can get an official position above the True Yuan Realm, isn't there only four or five thousand officials? No wonder the government doesn't care much about officials who are crowned officials by virtue of their strength, because there are too many of them.
But this is too undercover to hide the dragon, isn't it? There are dozens of powerful people like the Governor of Heyuan Mansion on this dock! The most excessive thing is that there are only more than 20,000 people here, and there are 4,000 or 5,000 people who have strength above the True Yuan Realm, which is really terrifying.
But considering that the people gathered on the dock were basically maritime merchants, and the ships owned by maritime merchants, as well as the wealth and dangers that might be encountered at sea, it was normal to have so many powerful people.
Zhang Zhongjun, who originally wanted to relax, turned his gaze to the city guards, and stared directly!
