Chapter 161: Fuxu's Birthday

Time flies quickly, but for Ding Li, it is fast, three days will pass in the blink of an eye, tomorrow is Zhang Yurou's birthday, because you need to hurry to Fuxu, and bring a female dependent, so you have to set off early the next morning, but the safety on the road saves worries, because the next morning, Yang Hongwen, who is working in Guangzhou Mansion, also has to rush to Fuxu to celebrate.

Although it was winter, the sky in Guangzhou City did not change much from usual, and the south gate was opened before the time came, and Yang Hongwen personally led a group of bandit troops to open the way, followed by Ding Li and his family, as well as a congratulatory convoy escorted by Qin Mo's subordinates.

After that, there was the convoy of Zhang's house, but Mr. Zhang Kuang did not go to Fuxu Town, and Uncle Xiang naturally stayed in Guangzhou Mansion with him, but the scale of the convoy was not small, of course, it was only compared with the birthday gift. However, Ding Li heard that the Shu brocade and Su silk alone added up to four carts, which is said to be as many as 100 horses, and the imported goods from the Nanyang side had been transferred in advance from the ships calling at the port and sent to Zhangfu in Fuxu Town in advance.

Another reason for the larger size of the convoy was that the goods were transported separately in order to reach Fuxu as soon as possible, so that the overall speed would be greatly improved. Near the South City Gate, Saiyigard has been waiting there with a group of Banbang children, and now Ding Li has become the commander of the Southern Navy, and the predecessor of the Nanhai Gang has been completely handed over to Saiyigaard, and this time Zhang Yurou's birthday, Saiyigard was naturally invited, after all, it is a major support for the Zhang Chamber of Commerce.

However, Saidgard was also entrusted with another entrustment, that is, the head of Fanfang District, due to Saidgard's different status now, the chief who has always focused on the relationship between the Tang people naturally can't let go of Saidgard's good line, even if he was not invited, but he still prepared a big gift to be handed over by Saidgard when the time comes.

The whole team dragged back and forth for a mile, and the overall personnel were nearly 1,000 people, including the bandit army, the Southern Navy, the South China Sea Gang, the children of Fanbang, and the entourage of the congratulatory convoy of Zhangfu, Yangfu, and Dingfu.

There was not even the slightest rest on the way, and the whole team finally arrived at Fuxu Town. Today's day is extremely special, coupled with the opening of the road by the bandit army, the garrison of Fuxu Town directly let the way without even the slightest interrogation and interrogation.

The influence of the Zhang Chamber of Commerce in Fuxu Town is definitely the greatest, the garrisons of the east and west battalions still have a confrontation, but now there is an extra bandit army patrolling with Guangzhou City and Fuxu Town, and the status of the bandit army is relatively high, plus the Cao Chamber of Commerce has gradually withdrawn from the competition for Fuxu Town, and even the Xiying that they have been supporting has recently lost a lot of arrogance.

Yang Hongwen dispersed the bandit army under his command inside and outside the city gate, and after watching all the convoys enter the city, he called the captain of the team to his side and whispered an order, and then urged the mount to enter the city to join Ding Li and others.

The convoy was led by people from the Zhang Chamber of Commerce to deliver congratulatory gifts, while Ding Li, Yang Hongwen and others were not too anxious, the agreed time was still in unitary time, and there was still an hour before now. And Liu Sheng and Xia Qing, who came to Fuxu Town for the first time, looked around with their big eyes open along the way, obviously very curious about everything around them, especially the convoy and dart team that kept passing by, so that the two of them got together from time to time and whispered something, even the two women, who had always been more reserved in front of outsiders, couldn't help but raise their fingers and point around, and even sometimes laughed like silver bells.

Seeing this, Ding Li did not urge the two, and even after throwing the mount to Zhang Han, he followed behind the two women and let the two wander around, but whenever the two of them looked at something or something they were more interested in, Ding Li would pay keen attention, and then let Saidgard pay for the goods after the two women left.

Today's Saidgard can be said to have a lot of money, before the Nanhai Gang was in charge of Ding Li, Xu Hong had thought of many ways to transfer some business to the South China Sea Gang, so the income of the South China Sea Gang is also thriving, and now the South China Sea Gang is in the hands of Saidgad, although Xu Hong followed Ding Li to the South China Navy, but what Xu Hong did at that time was still prevalent in the South China Sea Gang, even more than before.

Suddenly, from the side of the street, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves, and the people who came were holding the banner of the bandit army, a total of five people, the first one of whom kept waving the flag in his hand, and the other four people scattered left and right to follow, although the hand on the handle of the knife on his waist did not move, but it seemed that he could draw a horizontal knife at any time and cut down the person in front of him.

"General Yang!! Report! Urgent!! The person who came was indeed looking for Yang Hongwen, and when the flag bearer saw Yang Hongwen for the first time, he opened his throat and shouted: "Urgent!" Fuxu Port Urgent!! ”

Hearing this, Yang Hongwen no longer talked to Ding Li, and hurriedly walked in the direction of the messenger, and at the same time, the flag-bearers also quickly slowed down the speed of the horse, and hurriedly pulled the reins when the distance between the two sides was less than ten meters, and jumped off the horse without waiting for the war horse to stop completely.

"Is it true? Message exactly? After the standard-bearer of the report finished telling the situation, Yang Hongwen took two steps back, took a deep breath, and stared at the other party with a blue face, but in fact, there was no need to ask, Yang Hongwen already knew that what the other party said must be true, and no one dared to joke about the smuggling of the Zhang Chamber of Commerce.

"Let's go! Lead the way! Yang Hongwen shook his head fiercely, turned around and ran to his horse, jumped on the horse's back and whispered to Ding Li who looked surprised: "Ziyi! I'm a little in a hurry to deal with military affairs, so I won't accompany you and my younger siblings first! See you at home! ”

"Brother Yang, do you need my help?" Seeing that Yang Hongwen's face was very ugly, Ding Li knew that something must be a big deal, so he ran two steps forward and asked: "Sheng'er, it's okay with them, if you can't let them go home first, let's get down to business first!" ”

"Don't get in the way, you can accompany your younger siblings first!" Yang Hongwen waved his hand, rejected Ding Li's proposal without thinking, took the reins in his hand to the side, and clamped the horse's belly with both legs at the same time, urging the war horse to rush out.

"Brother Li, why do you feel like you're in such a hurry?" Saiyigad didn't have time to greet Yang Hongwen, seeing that the other party was in a hurry, Saiyigaard also felt a little strange, after all, today is a special day, if it is ordinary military affairs, Yang Hongwen will definitely not need to come forward, so he can't help but come to Ding Li's side, look at the direction Yang Hongwen left and ask in a low voice.

"It does seem to be very urgent, and I don't know what the hell is going on!" Ding Li shook his head a little helplessly, after all, Yang Hongwen didn't say anything before leaving, and didn't even leave any usable information, and then he didn't think much about it.

Suddenly, a pleasant sound of musical instruments came into his ears, Ding Li was stunned when he heard this, turned around and looked at the source of the sound, it turned out that in a musical instrument store, Liu Sheng and Xia Qing actually started to play together. And just when Ding Li, Saidgad and others were stunned, the musical instrument store began to attract more and more pedestrians around, and it didn't take long for the door of the musical instrument store to be blocked.

Most good things are short-lived, and the same is true for music, good music always makes people feel that time flies quickly, or that the song is very short. Everyone only felt that it was a blink of an eye, the ensemble of Liu Sheng and Xia Qing had ended, and for the businessmen and coolies who were busy making money every day in Fuxu Town, the ensemble just now was completely like a heavenly sound.

Liu Sheng has learned music since childhood, Xia Qing is from a dusty place, and she is also a top artist, and the ensemble skills of these two people naturally opened the eyes of everyone outside the store.

"Good! Good! One more song! ”

"Two talented women! Do it again! ”

With a few coaxes in the crowd, more and more cheers rang out, accompanied by deafening applause, of course, there were also hooligan perverts whistling and shouting a few explicit teasing words by the way, but then they would be held hostage by the young man with the face of Fanbang who appeared out of nowhere and left the crowd, and then left far away.

Xia Qing was born in a dusty place, and there is no pressure on her to perform at all, and Liu Sheng has learned musical instruments since she was a child, and the self-confidence she has cultivated since she was a child is even more extraordinary.

The song stopped again in the snap of a finger, although everyone coaxed again and asked for another song, but Liu Sheng and Xia Qing refused, after all, the two knew that they were not here to perform, and after saluting everyone, they walked out of the musical instrument store with a smile on their faces. Seeing this, everyone had no choice but to get out of the way, but at this time, the sound of domineering horses' hooves sounded on the side of the street, and after everyone's applause disappeared, the sound of horses' hooves became more and more deafening.

"Fuck off! Diao Min! Dare to stand in the way! A cavalry team of at least 100 people, led by a group of at least 100 people, was struggling to wave his whip on horseback, and when he saw that the street entrance outside the musical instrument store was blocked, he couldn't help but be furious, and yelled at everyone: "Get out of here!" Don't get in your grandfather's way, emergency military situation! Zhang's Chamber of Commerce, Zhang Mingzhi and Zhang Shouyi smuggled ships by sea, if they dare to stop it, they will be punished with the same crime! ”

"Urgent military intelligence! Zhang's Chamber of Commerce, Zhang Mingzhi and Zhang Shouyi smuggled ships by sea, if they dare to stop it, they will be punished with the same crime! ”

The more than ten cavalrymen who followed were not like the leader wielding a horsewhip, but in his hands were a bright horizontal knife, all with hideous faces, full of confidence in shouting, and the eyes that swept the surrounding crowd were even more fierce, as if they wanted to chop off all the people around them.

Originally, there were basically not many people in Fuxu Town who dared to gallop their horses, let alone a whole team of hundreds of cavalry, so the appearance of this scene made everyone outside the musical instrument store stunned, especially Liu Sheng and Xia Qing, who had just passed through the passage of everyone, suddenly appeared in the middle of the street in the blink of an eye, and on the side was the cavalry that rode their horses and galloped, and there was a horse whip raised high in the air.

"Damn! Straight sissy thief!! ”

The skin of the guy on horseback was originally white, and now it suddenly rose red, and the arrogance just now was arrogant, but suddenly appeared in front of two weak women, he still didn't dare to ride the horse in front of him, but at this time, it seemed to be a little late to stop the mount.
