The lieutenant pondered for a while, thought about it, and there was no big man in his memory who couldn't be provoked similar to Zhao Yingqi and Zhao Tong, and he had never heard of anyone's adult family having the habit of taking a merchant ship, nor had he heard of anyone's son in the court coming to Qingning Mansion.

Then the captain was sure in his heart, and when he saw that his subordinates had found Zhao Yingqi's side, he walked over.

A soldier of the Zhou army was about to take the road guide handed over by Zhao Tong, but the captain intervened from the side and took it from Zhao Tong's hand one step ahead, and the captain's dishonest hand still wanted to brush it from Zhao Tong's hand, but unfortunately Zhao Tong did not give him this opportunity.

The captain was a little surprised when he saw that he was dodged away by this beautiful maid, but he didn't take it seriously, after all, there were many martial arts practitioners in the Zhou Kingdom, and some girls would also learn some superficial kung fu.

The lieutenant stared at Zhao Tong's face for a while, and found that there was still a little fluff between Zhao Tong's eyebrows, sideburns and neck, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and he was entangled in his heart whether to dedicate it to the eldest prince, in fact, it was a beautiful thing to keep it himself.

Just when Zhao Tong was about to attack when he was angry and ready to attack, Zhao Yingqi stood between the two and separated the two.

The captain frowned suddenly, and reached out to pull Zhao Yingqi away, but the captain's hand was pressed on Zhao Yingqi's shoulder, as if pushing a big stone, and it didn't move at all, and even the hull sank a little.

The captain's brows furrowed even deeper, and he used his internal strength to give this unknown person a little color.

Zhao Yingqi still held his hands behind his back and did not move like a mountain.

In fact, Zhao Yingqi stood between the two, but he didn't want to die at the hands of Zhao Tong, but unfortunately there was no way to do good or bad, and the mediocre people took it by themselves.

Zhao Yingqi pinched Zhao Tong's two hands with both hands behind his back, not wanting Zhao Tong to make a move, but Zhao Tong saw that the captain actually put his dirty hand on her husband's shoulder, and suddenly couldn't hold it, pulled out a hand from Zhao Yingqi's hand, and around Zhao Yingqi's void, he was about to slap the captain's chest with one palm.

Zhao Yingqi hurriedly used his internal force and pressed it on Zhao Tong's palm, but in this way, Zhao Yingqi's true qi in his body agitated, and instead bounced away the hand that the captain put on his shoulder, and even flashed with the captain.

The captain was annoyed and angry, and took out the long knife in his waist and pointed it at Zhao Yingqi, and even the more than a dozen Zhou soldiers on the boat also drew out their long knives and pointed at Zhao Yingqi and the two of them.

"Bold, what kind of person are you, you dare to obstruct Ben General's routine inspection!" Sure enough, the wicked like to sue first.

"This military master, the master and servant have not done anything, and the guide has already been given to you?" Zhao Yingqi took a step back slightly: "Why don't you take a look at the sins that Lu Yin has cured again?" ”

When the captain saw Zhao Yingqi take a step back, he thought he was afraid, and suddenly became arrogant: "What is there to see, your road guide is fake!" Someone, take these two down for me, and escort them to our ship, where they are going to be interrogated. ”

It's a pity that Zhao Yingqi took a step back not because he was afraid of him, but because he was afraid of her...

A few soldiers surrounded him and were about to make a move, and Zhao Yingqi asked again: "Does the military master really not take a look at the road guide below?" ”

It's a pity that the captain doesn't look at it, but he can't read. These dozen or so soldiers are not on duty to inspect the river, and the inspection of the road guide is just a formality, there are too few literate people in this world, and most of the inspections are to see a familiar red stamp or steel seal and let them go.

"Still arguing, the two of you forged documents, according to the law, they will be handed over to the local county government for punishment, come here, quickly take down these two people!"

The passengers on the ship dodged away from the two of them, not wanting to be involved.

At this moment, a five-hundred-stone official ship passed by, with a Tsing Yi scribe standing at the bow and a scholar behind him.

When the Tsing Yi scribe saw the tense situation on the merchant ship on Zhao Yingqi's side, he frowned, let the sailors on the ship drop anchor, and asked from a distance: "Which battalion of soldiers are you?" Do you have any official duties here? ”

The captain here didn't dare to be too arrogant when he saw that it was an official ship, but just made a military salute from a distance: "Tell this lord that he is the captain of the fourth prince's personal guard, and he is on duty on the river to inspect the passing cars and boats on the river at the order of the fourth prince." ”

"Check it, check it, what are you doing with your knives?" The scribe in Tsing Yi looked very upright.

"Tell the master, these two people forged documents, and they were about to be escorted to the county government for interrogation."

The Tsing Yi scribe looked at Zhao Yingqi and the others, and when he saw Zhao Tong, his eyes lit up, but it was fleeting.

"What about forged documents? Let the officer take a look. As he spoke, he motioned to the sailors on the officer's ship to lower a basket from the side of the ship and ask the lieutenant to put the paperwork in.

The lieutenant wanted to refuse, but when he heard the word "this official", he also understood that the official in front of him was somewhere, so he had to lead the two people into the basket and watch as the sailor held it to the Tsing Yi scribe with both hands.

The Tsing Yi scribe put his eyes from Zhao Yingqi and the others to his hand, opened it, his eyes were slightly condensed, and he opened his mouth to ask, "Which battalion is this general guarded by the four princes?" Why hasn't I seen you? ”

The captain frowned, and had to answer: "The humble position is the captain of the fourth battalion of the fourth prince Ning Wangwei. ”

"Nonsense! The fourth and fifth battalions of the fourth prince Ning Wangwei have all followed the four princes to Tongying Mansion, where did you come from? ”

The lieutenant's face twitched, and he had to reply stubbornly: "The humble position is indeed the captain of the fourth battalion of the fourth prince Ning Wangwei, but I don't know where this old man is, according to the law, officials are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the prince's guard, you better hurry as soon as possible." ”

"Presumptuous, my lord is the county magistrate of Ning County, Qingning Prefecture, and he is a famous person under the four princes, what arrangements do the four princes have, how can my grandfather not know?" The scholar next to him scolded.

"Ah, this..."The school captain couldn't help but be embarrassed when he heard that it was Cao County, a popular man under the Fourth Prince's Sect.

"Come on, take down these dozen bold people who pretend to be Ning Wangwei!" The Tsing Yi scribe gave an order, jumped from the official ship to the merchant ship, disarmed the captain and his men, and then escorted them to the military ship on which the captain and others were riding, and sailed towards the naval camp outside the city.

The warship swam down, the speed of the ship was very fast, and after a while it disappeared into the distance.

Zhao Yingqi retracted his eyes, looked at the Tsing Yi scribe on the bow of the official ship, and wondered in his heart, it stands to reason that even if Ning County is an upper county, this county order is only an official from the sixth grade, how can there be soldiers on his ship, and he easily surrendered the weapon of the seventh rank captain.

However, Zhao Yingqi didn't ask much, just looked at the Tsing Yi scribe, and as expected, the Tsing Yi scribe arched his hand to Zhao Yingqi: "Mr. Zhao, I have heard of the name for a long time, in Xia Cao Zhong, it is the county order of this Ning County, can you please Mr. Zhao on the boat." ”

Zhao Yingqi was not surprised that Cao Zhong could recognize him, because Zhao Yingqi's road guide was issued by the second prince himself, and the second prince fought in Chun Nei Dao, and only Zhao Yingqi could make the second prince personally sign the road guide.

"This is Cao County Order, Cao County Order is a good official."

"The grass people have seen Cao County's order." Some of the passengers on the ship, including the ship's family, saluted Cao Zhong one after another, and it seemed that this Cao County Order was very popular with the people.

"Since Cao County's order recognizes it, it will be bothered below." As he spoke, he and Zhao Tong jumped on the official ship of Cao County.

Cao Zhong instructed his soldiers to move Zhao Yingqi's luggage to Cao Zhong's official ship.

Zhao Yingqi followed Cao Zhong's official ship all the way into the Qingning Mansion City, Qingning Mansion has six counties, of which Qing County, Ning County two upper counties are set up in the Qingning Mansion City, originally Qingning Mansion is only a county, but in the hands of the four princes of governance is quite prosperous, so the emperor specifically in order to encourage the four princes, the Qingning Mansion is divided into two counties in the east and west, and the four princes are named the king of Ning.

Ning Wangfu was built in Ning County, this Ning Wangfu is not the residence of the four princes, but the Ning Wangfu of the opening of the government, which can be specially set up for all kinds of subordinate officials of the four princes, and have certain authority for all the affairs in the fief of King Ning, just like a small court.

This Cao County Order is the long history of King Ning's Mansion, and it belongs to the right-hand man of the four princes.

When I arrived at Ning Wang's Mansion and watched the tea, my subordinates reported that the dozen or so people who had just been escorted down were originally lieutenants of the eldest prince Jiang Wangwei, but for some reason they were transferred from the eldest prince's personal guard Jiang Wangwei to the fourth prince's personal guard Ning Wangweizhong, which was what happened today.

When Cao Xianling heard this, his face was pale, as if he had a hidden feeling, but he didn't say it in front of Zhao Yingqi, but hurriedly arranged for the carriage and horse to send Zhao Yingqi's master and servant on the road to Tongying Mansion.

Outside King Ning's Mansion, Zhao Tong packed the luggage of the two of them into the carriage sent by Cao County's order, and when Zhao Tong packed up his salute, Zhao Yingqi sat in the carriage and looked at the three gilded characters of Ning Wang's Mansion through the small window and pondered.

Zhou Guojun ascended the throne more than 30 years ago is to succeed in seizing the throne to ascend the throne, at that time Zhou Guojun was the third in line, now Zhou Guojun is fifty-five years old, still no prince, and his four sons have been given him the right to open the government independently.

Could it be that the monarch of Zhou still wants his four sons to fight each other, and the ultimate victor is used to decide the prince?

Zhao Yingqi is not quite sure, but at present, the four sons are about to enter a white-hot situation, the national strength of the Zhou State is strong, the military generals are like clouds, and the strength of the four princes under the rising tide is also extraordinary, for example, this victory over the Jin State was completed by the third prince only with his own strength, and the second prince should have relied only on his own strength to carry out the war against Shuo, but the second prince is the son of the imperial concubine, and the imperial concubine won the support of Zhang Han and Li Yuanbai from the monarch of Zhou for her prince, That's why the rest of the story happens.

After thinking about it again and again, Zhao Yingqi decided that this trip to Tongyingfu should be cautious between words and deeds, and he could not stand in line with the four princes at will, and still maintained a neutral position.

And not long after Zhao Yingqi left, Cao Xian Ling quickly wrote a letter to the four princes who had gone to Tongying Mansion, the general content was mainly three points, the eldest prince had begun to infiltrate the Ning Palace, the second prince captured Neixian before the third prince arrived at Chunnei Dao, and finally met Zhao Yingqi's master and servant in Qingning Mansion.

The letter was handed over to the messenger of the palace and sent to Tongying Mansion for 800 miles, and Cao Xian ordered to use the matter of the eldest prince to make some moves on the tax revenue of Qingning Mansion, and then throw the pot to the eldest prince, but this kind of thing is inconvenient to put on paper, so he has to wait for the fourth prince to return to Qingning Mansion for the emperor's birthday.
