Chapter 558: Secret Intention Tells the Truth
readx;? The emperor didn't know if he really believed in Zhang Zi's ability, or if he was squeezed by Li Potian, he said: "Give Zhang Zi an order and order him to arrest and extinguish the epidemic within a month, otherwise the country will be punished by law."

After Zhang Zi received the clear decree, he opened the emperor's secret decree. The secret message is very long, and there are two main aspects.
The first aspect shows the seriousness of the epidemic, so that Zhang Zi puts the lives of the people in the world first and eliminates the epidemic as soon as possible. Of course, he also vaguely said that he had fallen for Li Potian, so that Zhang Zi would not live up to the trust of the saint.
The second aspect is private affairs, mainly to say that Zhang Zineng killed his relatives in righteousness and severely punished his brother. There is also the fact that Prime Minister Zhang Cheng has already pleaded guilty with the emperor and handed over most of the family property.
finally promised that after Zhang Zi's wedding, Zhang Cheng would be the prime minister, and Zhang Zi would take over the post of prime minister.
After Zhang Zi finished reading the holy decree, he sighed, and then ordered to the tooth general: "Rest people and horses, go at full speed." ”
The disaster relief team didn't go out of fifty miles, and Zhan Liudao, who was in charge of exploring the way, ran over and reported: "Zhang Gongzi, there was a torrential rain here yesterday, which caused a landslide, and the official road has been blocked. ”
Zhang Zi was anxious when he heard this, and said to the general: "Hurry up and lead someone to open the road." ”
Zhan Liudao hurriedly stopped: "Zhang Gongzi, with our people, it will take ten days to open the road." ”
"Oh my God. Zhang Zi felt that this was the heavens that wanted to destroy him, not to mention the epidemic, even the emperor's strict decree would not allow him to slowly open the road.
Zhan Liudao then reported: "After walking more than two miles ahead, there is a fork in the road, which can bypass the blocked road, but the mountain road is difficult to walk, and it takes half a day to walk. ”
Walking for half a day is better than waiting for ten days, Zhang Zi immediately ordered: "Take the path." ”
This road is really difficult to walk, and each carriage must be supported by six or seven officers and soldiers, otherwise it will be difficult to move an inch.
After walking for about half a day, General Ya came to Zhang Zi: "Zhang Gongzi, let the brothers rest for a while, everyone is tired and hungry." If it goes on like this, it will tire people to death. ”
Zhang Zi felt that what Ya Jiang said was very right, no matter how urgent the matter was, it could not be excessive, otherwise it would be impossible to achieve it quickly. He asked Zhan Liudao, who was accompanying him, was there a spacious place in front of him?
Zhan Liudao replied: "Turn this mountain bend called Meiling, there is a Taoist temple halfway up the mountain, the scale is not small, you can go there to rest for a while, and fight." ”
The four sisters of Linghufeng have been following behind Zhang Zi, and they don't want to go anywhere now. Now when I heard Zhan Liudao's words, I remembered that this detour had come to Linghumei's cave.
Linghu Xue stepped forward and said: "Gongzi Zhang, the Taoist temple in Meiling is the other courtyard of our Linghu Mountain, and the cave of my junior sister Linghu Mei. ”
When Zhang Zi heard the news, he was happy in his heart, and said politely: "Please take a step forward for the four immortal aunts." Prepare some food and horse food for us, and the team will leave after a while. ”
Linghu Feng agreed and said, "Okay, our four sisters will go first." ”
When the four sisters of Linghufeng came to Meiling Taoist Temple, they were startled by the scene in front of them.
It turned out that in front of the Linghu Meidong Mansion, a group of little fox fairies were busy. Senior Sister Mei doesn't have so many disciples, it seems that she has brought in all the disciples of fifteen junior sisters, what are they trying to do?
With doubts, the four protectors of the Spirit Fox fell in front of the cave.
Seeing the arrival of Linghu Feng, the eldest disciple of Linghu Mei hurriedly asked for peace: "Hello to the four masters." ”
"Children, who recruited all the little fox immortals from the caves?" asked Linghu Feng.
"It's me. The red flame came out of the cave, and after answering, he saluted: "See the four senior sisters." ”
"Senior Sister Hong, why are you here?" asked Linghu Feng in surprise.
How did Honghuomiao come to Meiling, it had to start with her leaving Xiufeng Mountain.
After the red flame came down the mountain, the goal of the trip was very clear, and he first came to the vicinity of Baihuadu. Coming here is not to invisibly converge with the retreat, but also to investigate the siege of the capital by the fox immortal believers. What's more important is that it was Ziyan who persuaded the fox immortal believers to return to their hometowns along the way, and Honghuomiao was a little uneasy.
Red Flame disguised as an old woman, bent over and on crutches, as if she was about to fall if she left the crutches.
The situation that the red flame saw at this time was different from the situation when it was reported invisibly.
Now it's tent after tent, and about 10,000 people gather here. Although there were many dust people, they were in order, everyone sat in front of the tent, chatting about the world, and talking more about how the fox fairy gave them dreams and made them persevere.
Half a mile away from the dusty people were officers and soldiers, who also set up camp there, and set up checkpoints in the middle of the road to strictly check passers-by. As long as there is no pass issued by the county government, you will not be allowed to pass the customs.
When Honghuo Miao came to the checkpoint, he was stopped by the soldiers guarding the pass: "Old woman, show the pass of the county government." ”
Honghuomiao's ears seemed to be a little back, and he said in a non-answerable way: "I'm not a soldier, what are I going to camp for?" I'm going to the capital to see my daughter. ”
The soldier could not do anything about such an old man, and there happened to be a person passing through, and he took this person's card and said, "I want this." I don't let this go. ”
Honghuo stepped forward, looked at it with a blank look and said, "What is this? ”
When the soldiers heard that the red flame had cash, they were overjoyed. The officers and soldiers who set up the cards often secretly let go of some merchants who did not have passes, on the premise that they would hand over the silver. Some merchants, as well as those who were in a hurry, had to use silver as a pass in order to pass the customs.
When the soldiers saw the red flames digging into their pockets, they were happy in their hearts, and they had oil and water again. But when I saw the bag she took out, I was disappointed.
The red flame shuddered and took out a small bag, and opened the small bag one layer on the left and one layer on the right, and finally revealed a small pile of broken silver. She made a lot of determination before taking out a slightly larger piece of silver from her bag and handing it to the soldiers: "Is it enough?" and then muttered, "This year, it will cost silver to pass the customs." ”
The soldier looked down on this bit of broken silver from the red flame, and said impatiently: "Hurry up and put it away, hurry up."
Red Flame asked, "This is not enough, all of them, then it is not good, I still have to eat on the way." The road is still long, and if you don't eat, you'll starve to death. ”
The soldiers saw that they couldn't reason with Honghuomiao clearly, and there was no money for blackmail, so they had to gently push Honghuomiao away with a big gun, and said sternly: "Hurry up, don't let you go without a pass." ”
The soldier's move made Honghuomiao understand, and he muttered: "If you don't let it, you won't let it go, why are you beating people." "Turn around and walk back.
When Red Flame came to the fox fairy believer, it was just in time for the meal. A busy figure attracted the flames, my God, isn't this the fourth brother? Why is he pretending to be a girl, hehe, it's so funny.
Red Flame held back a laugh, came to the busy retreat and invisible side, grabbed him and said, "Little lady, you are giving alms." I made a bowl of rice for the old woman, and I was starving. ”
Turning around invisibly, he almost laughed out loud when he saw that it was a red flame. This image is too thunderous. A little girl of seventeen or eighteen turned out to be an old woman of seventy or eighty.
Seeing the red flame dressed like this, he completely understood that Ming Hao asked him to dress up as a girl. Of course, I also saw that Hong Huomiao's face was full of smiles, and he was laughing at his dress, and said embarrassedly: "Hong, mother-in-law, why are you here?"
Honghuomiao sighed, ostensibly answering the invisible words, but in fact, he was listening to the people around him: "I went to the capital to see my daughter, and the officers and soldiers did not let me pass." You said that this peaceful world, why did you suddenly set up a level? ”
Retreat invisibly reported the situation to Honghuo Miao in the form of concern and said, "Mother-in-law, you should leave quickly." I think the officers and soldiers are going to attack the fox fairy believers. ”
Red Flame feigned surprise and said, "Oh my God, it's so dangerous here." Then I'll have to get out of here. ”
The red flame took two steps, stopped again, and said to the hidden ground: "Little lady, I am hungry and thirsty now, can you give some food?"
He said invisibly: "Old woman, I don't count these meals." Well, talk to the local host and see if he can reward you with a meal. Otherwise, come back to Baihuadu with me, and I'll invite you wherever I go. ”
Honghuomiao smiled and said, "The little lady is just exquisite. But I'm still in a hurry to get out of here, so I'd better try my luck with the local host. ”
The host of the fox fairy believers who wanted to get close to the fox fairy here, pointed to a duster standing in front of a particularly large tent and said, "Old woman, the master is there, his surname is Lu, we all call him Lu Yuanwai." I think he's pretty good, you go and beg him. ”
Honghuomiao thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, little lady, you have such a good heart, you will definitely be able to find a good mother-in-law in the future." Hehe. ”
Invisible said in a very low voice: "Sister Hong, it's annoying." ”
Red Flame held back a laugh and walked towards the big tent.
Lu Yuanwai was directing his subordinates to organize the fox immortal believers to eat: "You guys don't chat, hurry up to the tent to eat." Little San, don't stay still, help with the work. ”
Red Flame walked up to him and said softly, "Lu Yuanwai, I'm hungry and thirsty all the way, can I get some food?" Then he took out the scattered pieces of silver.
"Are you?" Lu Yuanwai turned his face to see that a white-haired old woman, judging from the way she was dressed, was not a beggar. In terms of age, he is not a fox fairy believer.
How could Lu Yuanwai tell that the red flame was not a fox immortal believer? Judging from his age. The people who entered the capital this time were all young and middle-aged, such as the age of the red flames, they would definitely not come, and they would not be allowed to come.
Seeing Lu Yuanwai asking, Hong Huomiao replied: "I went to the capital to see my daughter, but the officers and soldiers didn't let me go, so I had to go home." But in this barren mountain and wilderness, there is no place to eat. Then you can discuss if you can sell me some food. ”
"What to sell, we are fox fairy believers, pay attention to kindness, help the old and the young. Then he shouted to the people in front of him: "Little San, take a meal for this mother-in-law." ”
Red Flame took the meal and peeked into the big tent where there were several tables, they were drinking and having fun, and they wanted to go in and hear what they were saying. However, my identity is here, and I can't rush in without permission, so I can only find another way.
