It was slowly getting dark. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zheng Hong walked quietly along the city wall.

All three gates have been closed, as is customary.

The door must be closed at night, except for the water gate in the north, because there is a naval army stationed, it is up to the navy to decide at its own discretion, the west gate and the south gate will be closed when they arrive at the unitary, and they will not be opened unless there are special circumstances.

As for the east gate, it is not open at ordinary times, only one hour in the morning and one hour in the afternoon every day, which is convenient for the nobles in the city to go to Daogong Temple and Dongtai Lake to play, and the goods of Nagasetsu Wharf will also choose these two hours to enter the city, and will not be opened at other times.

With the withdrawal of the ant thieves from Shouzhou, although the other counties have been greatly damaged, this has promoted the prosperity of Shouchun City in disguise.

A large number of squires with a little wealth poured into Shouzhou to avoid the ant thieves, especially those wealthy families with small assets like Anfeng County, who fled into Shouchun City one after another.

Although the heart is in the ant thieves have gone south, due to the burning of the city in a blank land, the displaced people have evolved into bandits, making Anfeng and Huoqiu counties a chaotic place, and the principals in Shouchun City have not made up their minds to go out of the city to clear it.

However, the two Umeda families focused their attention on the two prefectures of Yingbo on the other side of the river to the north, where the ant thieves were still fighting with the Huaibei Reform Army, and they still did not know the difference.

What they were most worried about was that the ant thieves would suddenly attack Shouzhou in the end, so they would rather delay for a year than easily send the army out to suppress the bandits, for fear of being caught off guard by the ant thieves.

For them, Shengtang and Huoshan no longer belong to Shouzhou, and they originally had little interest in these two counties, and Huoqiu and Anfeng were also destroyed into a blank land, and the early months and later months of the clean-up and recovery had little impact.

Walking along the city wall, when Zheng Hong passed by the Yunhe Tower in the north, the Yunhe Tower was full of friends, the guests were like clouds, and the melodious singing of the top female singer of Shouzhou was coming out from the private room on the second floor.

"Don't you hear it, the three-foot Longquan sword, no one in the box sees it. A falling goose bow, a hundred golden arrows. Loyal to the country, he fought in bitter places. First look at meritorious deeds, and then see the king's face. ......”

The spirit of strength and heroism came to his face.

"Good!"

"Green Bamboo Girl, chivalrous and gallant ,......"

"Brother Chunlai returned from Jiangdu, have you ever seen the elegance of Yangzhou, compared with the green bead girl, can it be sonorous?"

"Lord Mei made fun of it, how can the appearance of green beads and willows be compared with Yangzhou's peerless?"

Tian Chunlai came back from Jiangdu.

The main figures of the Umeda family are picking up the wind for it.

If it was in the past, the Umeda family might have invited the Zheng family, but in the past six months, the attitude of the Umeda family towards the Zheng family has also quietly changed.

Like today's incident, just sent someone to send an invitation post, inviting the head of the Zheng family to participate, everyone in Shouchun City knew that his eldest brother was not in good health and had not gone out for a long time, how could he participate in this kind of banquet? But these people deliberately did not invite the rest of the Zheng family, which obviously did not want the Zheng family to participate.

This is not good news.

Tian Chunlai is the first master of the Tian family, only in his early thirties, although there is still a gap between the fixed interest period of the first master of the Mei family, but he is already a fierce role in the later stage of Taixi, even Zheng Hong himself has to admit that he is inferior to Tian Chunlai himself.

If there is no accident, Tian Chunlai will enter the fixed interest period in a short time.

The Tian family is based in Huainan, and the Tian family has always had a close relationship with the Wu Wang Yang family.

It's just that in recent years, the relationship between the Yang family of Wu Wang and the Xu family of Wu Guoquan has been tense, although the Xu family has mastered the power and occupied the initiative, but the Yang family has a deep foundation in Wu, and the Xu family is also quite jealous, so the two sides dare not tear the skin at will.

I don't know what the purpose of Tian Chun's visit to Jiangning this time is, and what he has gained.

Tian Chunlai is the deputy commander of the Shouzhou Tooth Army, and the commander of the Shouzhou Tooth Army is Mei Quan, although the Shouzhou Tooth Army has only one battalion of people, but its combat effectiveness is not to be underestimated.

Glancing at the brightly lit pavilion from a distance, Zheng Hong's face was calm, but he quietly withdrew his gaze and walked forward again.

The two people who followed closely behind Zheng Hong tightened the weapons on their bodies and followed silently.

Along the edge of the water gate of Beicheng, Zheng Hong quietly walked into the shadows, and there were already people waiting here.

"Second uncle. The man in armor saw Zheng Hong coming over and bowed.

"Youlu, don't be polite, are you ready?"

Qian Youlu's cheeks were sweaty, and even his voice had to change his tone a little: "Second uncle, at most an hour, Mei Jing will come to take over when he is ugly, and before Zishi, the Yajun has been patrolling, so there is only one hour of Zishi." ”

"One hour? is enough. Seeming to feel Qian Youlu's nervousness, Zheng Hong smiled and said with relief: "Don't worry, everything is going according to plan." ”

Zheng Hong can also understand that it is not easy for this person with a foreign surname to sit in this position, Mei Jing has been trying to replace him, and lost the support of the Zheng family, Qian Youlu also knows that he will not be the commander of the battalion for long, Mei Jing has already told the people below that before September, this commander will change people.

"Second uncle, is the Huzhou Army really the whole army entering?" The man in armor couldn't help but ask again, although Zheng Hong had already told him three times, he was still subconsciously a little uneasy, the handle of the handan knife in his hand had been soaked with sweat and was a little slippery, but he was still not steady.

"Youlu, what do you say?" Zheng Hong tried to make his expression easier, "The combat effectiveness of the Huzhou army is far superior to those armies under the two Umeda families who don't even dare to go out of the city gate, they not only defeated the ant thieves of Han Baling, but also beat the famous Caizhou army under Gushi City, this time it was they who stabbed Shi Jiangfeng to personally lead the team, and Yang Kan, the ice king halberd known as the twelve blades of Bianliang, assisted by Yang Kan, we won this battle, but the premise is that you let them enter the city smoothly!"

It seemed that Zheng Hong's words had boosted some fighting spirit to the man in armor, and the man in armor nodded: "That's good, second uncle, I heard that Tian Chun came back?"

"Well, don't worry, it's just a master of the Tai Rest Period, I heard that Lord Jiang's personal female guards are all masters of the Recuperation Period, and that Ice King Halberd Yang Kan is already in the Solid Rest Period. Zheng Hong subconsciously raised the level of Huzhou, which was not only like comforting the other party, but also like cheering himself up.

Seeing Zheng Hong's casual face, the man in armor also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Youlu, remember, once the Huzhou army enters the city, be sure to seal the part of Meijing controlled in the camp, and after disarming, all of them will be imprisoned, and they will not be allowed to go out, if there are those who resist, there will be no mercy!"

A trace of murderous aura squeezed out from between Zheng Hong's teeth, and Zheng Hong's gaze was a little more cold.

"Don't worry, second uncle, I know how to do it. "The man in armor also knows that there is no mercy at this time, either you die or I die, if you want to resist and disobey, then he has no choice, even if it is the best robe, then there is only a white blade.

Cloud Crane Tower.

Singing and dancing orchestras, melody and frustration.

The babbling songs, melodious and high-pitched high-pitched voices, lingering endlessly.

During the few banquets, people's hearts were different.

Tian Chunrong also noticed that his cousin was not very interested.

After returning from Jiangning, he was aware of this, and his cousin seemed to have been depressed and worried.

He could probably guess something, but he couldn't help it.

His family affairs are inaccessible to outsiders.

Similarly, the Mei family sitting opposite was also a little worried.

It's not just that the imperial court has taken away the Shengtang Dynasty and Huoshan, these two counties are in the original Laoshou Prefecture, whether it is population rent or land production, less than 20%.

It's not entirely the ant thieves who swept Huo Qiu and An Feng, Huo Qiu is the foundation of the Zheng family, and the Umeda family doesn't have much interest over there.

Although Anfeng has suffered huge losses, the most important thing in Anfeng is the land and Shaobi, no one can move these two things, as long as they can attract displaced people, they can recover in a year or two.

The cousin was worried about the unstable situation in Wudi, while the Mei family was a little worried about the erosion of the situation in Huaibei.

Originally, the Zheng army of Huoqiu was annihilated, and it was a good time for the two Umeda families to take over the Zheng family's business, but the ant thieves were still poisoning Huaibei, and it was rumored that the situation in Wu Land might change at any time, so people had to think twice before doing anything.

After returning from Jiangning, his cousin had been vague about the situation in Wudi, but Tian Chunrong could feel that it was mostly unfavorable to the Yang family.

This diluted the excitement brought about by the Umeda family's agreement to carve up the Zheng family's business.

"Chunlai, is the situation in Jiangning very bad? Is the Xu family going to do it?"

The broad-fronted and high-cheeked man who had not spoken much all the time moved his eyes slightly, "Big brother, I'm not sure, but I feel that King Wu is very jealous of the Xu family, even to the point of being a little afraid, which is not a good phenomenon." ”

"Does King Wu still plan to stay in Jiangdu?" Tian Chunrong pondered. Jiang is the nest of the Xu family, while the Yang family has more influence in the westerner states and counties of Luzhou, Xuanzhou, Hezhou, and Chuzhou.

"I also think he should go back to Luzhou, but what is the reason?" Tian Chunlai was also a little conflicted, "If he really goes back to Luzhou, then he will really give up Yangzhou, Runzhou, and Changzhou to the Xu family." ”

"Maybe the situation is not as bad as you think, right?" Tian Chunrong shook his head, "The Yang family has been deeply cultivated for decades, and there are many people who have benefited from the Yang family, and King Wu is afraid that he also has some confidence in his heart, so he is willing to stay in Yangzhou." ”

Tian Chunlai shook his head again and again, obviously disagreeing with his brother's point of view.

"Big brother, King Wu is afraid of Xu Zhihe from the bottom of his heart, I can feel that if even His Royal Highness King Wu is so afraid of his opponent, then it is really better to withdraw from Yangzhou and defend this part of Luzhou. ”

Tian Chunlai's emphasis, especially with the fear from the heart, confirmed that in the battle between Yang and Xuzi, the Yang family was already at a disadvantage, which was also very unfavorable to the Shouzhou Tian family.

At the end of the year, there are many things to do, and the update is uncertain, and I will work hard.
