Zhu Hao and Lu Song hit the road.

Ten carriages in front and behind, accompanied by Lu Song on horseback, accompanied by more than 40 people.

But in fact, there are less than ten people who are dedicated to protecting Zhu Hao, and the rest of the people are all people in the caravan under Zhu Hao, who just happened to transport a batch of goods to Wuchang Mansion, so that Zhu Niang can be more at ease with people and goods to take care of and transport them together.

Tang Yin came out of the palace early in the morning to see him off, and asked Lu Song to go over and say a few words.

On the way out of the city to the wharf, Zhu Hao urged to hurry up, and originally planned to rush to Wuchang Mansion within ten days, but the matter was urgent, and Zhu Hao had to limit the time to arrive within seven days.

Lu Song rode beside Zhu Hao's carriage and said, "I'm afraid it's useless to be in such a hurry...... King Ning's rebellion has already happened, and it is useless to go early. ”

Zhu Hao said angrily: "I'm afraid that I'm going late, and it's too late for anything." ”

When others rebel, they are all in a hurry to avoid disasters, and it is best not to be shocked in the local area, lest they be implicated in themselves, and King Ning rebelled...... The momentum was huge, and the south of the Ming Dynasty shook, but it was only forty days before and after, and it was destroyed.

Now that the rebellion has been going on for more than ten days, it will take seven days to travel to Wuchang Mansion at the earliest, and it will take six or seven days to travel from Wuchang Mansion to Nanchang......

If you don't hurry up gradually, and when the rebellion is over, Concubine Lou will become a turtle in an urn if she dies, and there will be no way to communicate, so let a group of water ghosts stay in front of Concubine Lou's boat every day to see when she jumps into the river?

Unrealistic!

Historically, there is quite a controversy about the time of Concubine Lou's death, there is no clear statement, there are two general opinions: one is that Lou Suzhen was captured after the defeat and jumped into the river when she was escorted to Nanchang, and there is another theory that in the leap August of the fifteenth year of Zhengde, when Wang Shouren escorted Ning Wangfu and his party to Nanjing to offer prisoners, Concubine Lou jumped into the river.

Probably Lou Suzhen was afraid that her name would be tarnished, and then she thought that she had tried hard to persuade her husband not to rebel but could not, which was likely to affect the family, so she found an opportunity to jump into the river and die.

Wang Shouren played an informed but unhindered role, obviously he didn't want the reputation of the Lou family to be damaged, so he managed to fulfill Lou Suzhen, so that there is still a saying in history that Lou Suzhen's body drifted back to Nanchang from the river, and Wang Shouren helped to bury it......

If it is really jumping into the river, can you still find the corpse dozens or hundreds of miles away? In the extremely backward conditions of the Ming Dynasty, this is almost impossible, which shows that Wang Shouren intends to help him leave the whole body.

Since Zhu Hao doesn't know when Lou Suzhen jumped into the river, and because of the butterfly effect, the situation will undergo some changes, Zhu Hao can't wait passively, but has to take the initiative to contact him, this matter is not sure to be successful, it is more like Zhu Hao's attempt to change history, and the difficulty this time is definitely purgatory......

"Lu Dianzhan, what did Mr. Tang tell you before leaving?"

Zhu Hao looked at the city gate that was gradually getting farther away, poked his head out and asked.

Lu Song replied: "He wanted to ask me about the purpose of this trip to Wuchang, but I didn't tell him, he obviously had doubts. Then he told me not to listen to you in everything on the road, but to have my own opinions......"

Zhu Haoxin said, Tang Yin, you old horseman, I will help you find the lover of your dreams, but you stumble me behind my back?

Fortunately, I have a lot of energy, if I have a smaller heart, I have to pick a child.

……

……

As Zhu Hao expected.

On the way to Wuchang Mansion, the closer to Fucheng, the more checkpoints along the road and along the river, and from time to time there are boats coming to inquire about the situation, which is very disturbing.

Wuchang Mansion is located at the junction of Huguang and Jiangxi, and is located next to the river, Jiujiang Mansion was conquered by the rebels as early as June 17, and now the rebels are attacking the important town of Anqing to the east, even if the government on the Huguang side can probably guess that the purpose of the rebels is to kill Nanjing, but also to guard against the rebels suddenly moving westward and attacking the important town of Wuchang.

Whether it is land, or the river, west of Wuchang Mansion and the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and Hanshui, there are soldiers and horses stationed to inspect, if it were not for Zhu Hao to go to Wuchang Mansion to take the township test, plus Lu Song revealed the identity of the general of the Xing Wangfu, I am afraid that the party can only turn back to Anlu.

More and more news about King Ning's rebellion reached the ears of this caravan.

When the entourage knew that Jiangxi was fighting now, one or two were timid, but fortunately, now the war did not burn to Huguang, and Zhu Hao specially explained that it would stop when he arrived in Wuchang Fucheng, and then there was news that the rebels had no intention of advancing westward, and they used the bounty as bait, so these people raised the courage to continue on their way.

……

……

Zhu Hao and his entourage set off from Anlu on June 24.

On the morning of the first day of July, the fleet finally arrived in Wuchang Province.

Wuchang Mansion, the place where the three towns meet, is a big city along the river, which can be said to be very majestic and heroic.

Sitting on the boat, Lu Song looked up at the towering fortress in front of him, and said with emotion: "With such a solid city, it is not easy for the rebels to capture it. ”

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "So King Ning's rebels knew that it was troublesome to go up the river to attack the city, so they didn't come to the west, they went directly to the east, and taking Nanjing was the only chance for King Ning to turn the tables on his rebellion." ”

On the pier, the group is about to disembark.

Zhu Hao called Yu San over.

"Little third brother, you arrange for people to enter the city first, and Lu Dianzhan and I won't go in first." Zhu Hao smiled.

Yu San asked puzzledly: "It's all here, why don't you hurry into the city?" Rebels will come on this river at any time. ”

Zhu Hao smiled: "It's not that exaggerated, I want to take a tour with Lu Dianzhan, after you settle down, you have to go with me, we have to complete a confidential mission, it is entrusted by the palace, and it has a great opportunity for your future...... Do you have the guts to go? ”

Yu San patted his chest: "This kind of thing is wrapped up in the villain, and the small ones can't do anything else, go to one place to find a contact person, arrange a place to live or something, there is no problem at all." ”

Zhu Hao smiled but did not speak.

Lu Songdu felt that Yu San was talking big, maybe he was okay with what he usually did, but what he had to do now was obviously beyond the ability of the person in front of him.

It is equivalent to three to arrange the caravan to enter the city, Lu Song couldn't help but remind: "If you rely on him...... I'm afraid that it will be difficult to get things done, so it's best to dispel the idea immediately. This person is a ruffian, even if he has a little chivalrous spirit in the rivers and lakes, it is difficult to achieve great things. ”

Zhu Hao said: "I also wanted to rely on Lu Dianzhan or someone in the palace to help me raise it, but ......"

Talking about spreading his hands.

In order not to bring trouble to the palace, at the moment, he can only rely on the three phases to help find the water ghosts and the manpower to assist on the shore, otherwise who to rely on?

Do you Lu Song have contacts around this provincial city? Even if it's the Xingwang Mansion...... Unless Xingwangfu brings people to him, how can he find a group of reliable helpers when traveling?

But there was one sentence that Zhu Hao didn't say.

The water ghosts and others who were originally going to do things were all from the rivers and lakes, and I didn't rely on Yu San, who was born in the rivers and lakes, did they all count on Xingwangfu?

……

……

Originally, it was agreed to meet Su Xigui.

But after contacting, he was told that Su Xigui would not be able to arrive in Wuchang in a few days, because there was a rebellion of King Ning, and it was still a question of whether Su Xigui could go to the appointment, and Zhu Hao did not expect Su Xigui to help in the matter of fishing for people.

Equal to three returns, Zhu Hao first found an inn outside the city near the dock and arranged a place to stay.

But only intended to stay in it for one day.

Zhu Hao called Yu San and Lu Song to the room together, and then openly and honestly explained to Yu San that he was looking for the water ghost.

"Brother Hao, this is so good, what are you doing looking for a water ghost? Didn't you sink a ship with a treasure underwater? With Yu San's wisdom, he naturally won't think in the direction of fishing people.

Zhu Hao said: "I only ask you, can you find someone?" ”

Yu San thought for a while: "This kind of thing, if you go to the black market and ask, you will definitely be able to find it...... Where do you want someone? ”

Yu San seems to have opened up at this time.

If you don't enter the city, you don't necessarily need to find people around Wuchang Mansion.

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "Naturally, I want to find a local in Huguang, but I want to go to Jiangxi to work, and each person's salary will be calculated from the first day of departure, and I will give it three times as usual, and I will also provide some equipment so that they can hide underwater for a longer time." ”

"Huh?"

Yu San began to be stunned when he heard this.

Jiangxi is now a war zone, and entering the war zone is not a good errand, and you have to find unfamiliar water ghosts, which is more likely to cause accidents.

Zhu Hao said: "I may not do this matter personally, if you accompany Lu Dianzhan to go, I will follow me to Jiangxi...... But when it comes to doing things, you two can do it together. Little third brother, I heard that you have a good water nature. ”

Yu San hurriedly waved his hand: "My water-based ...... It's okay to go back and forth on the Han water, but it's not the same as finding things underwater. ”

"Huh."

Zhu Hao smiled, "It's not bad." Little third brother, let me tell you clearly, there is a reward for doing a good job this time, if you don't do it well...... or the risk of killing the head. I'm not reluctant, you're married and have a child, so there's no need to take that risk. Even if you choose to be safe, I will not change your previous treatment in the city...... But it is done, and I will give you at least a hundred taels of silver. ”

Lu Song listened.

Good guys, a hundred taels?

Why don't you give it to me?

This shot...... No wonder people want to do it with you.

There will be brave men under the great reward.

Yu San's face was ashamed: "Look at what the little proprietor said, even if the small one sees the money, he is afraid of death, but he will not escape at this time, and the small one will complete the entrustment even if he is liver and brain......"

Saying that, he looked at Lu Song, probably with Lu Song doing things with him, he could feel at ease, after all, Lu Song is a military general with official character, so he won't kick me into the fire pit when the disaster is coming, so he is not responsible, right?

"Then you go to someone first, tell them that they are going to Jiangxi to do things, explain the salary and treatment clearly, and the deposit or something can be paid in advance. Tomorrow at the latest, we're leaving for ...... Then pick a few people you bring who are savvy and reliable, and they are only responsible for catching the car...... The rest of the things will be discussed in detail after we get to the ground in Jiangxi. ”

Zhu Hao only said that the three were very dangerous, and if they didn't do well, they would kill their heads, but he didn't say what it was.

It is equivalent to three gone, Lu Song stretched out his hand to say something to Zhu Hao, Zhu Hao said: "Lu Dianzhan rest assured, if this matter can be done, no matter how the palace treats you, how Mr. Tang thanks you, what I give you here will definitely not be less than the person I hired." At the moment, I don't have anyone to trust, so I can only rely on money to pave the way. ”
