At noon, he and Tian Gaolang only discussed the festival of a stick of incense kung fu so that Li Zhen had already led people to leave Fuxu Town, but outside the North City Gate, the entire convoy stopped, even Uncle Xiang didn't know what medicine Li Zhen was selling in this gourd, but Uncle Xiang didn't ask more, after all, Li Zhen now knows Ding Li's life experience, and Uncle Xiang doesn't have to worry about Li Zhen standing by.

Sure enough, in less than half an hour, Uncle Xiang, who was standing next to the carriage, saw a group of cavalry in the city through the city cave, led by Captain Fan Yingfan. Beside Fan Ying, Ding Li on horseback seemed to be in good spirits, and under the noon sun, he was full of energy, and there was a confident smile on his handsome face.

"Ah Xiang, get in the car, go back to Guangzhou Mansion first!" Li Zhen also felt the vibration of the horse's hooves, lifted the curtain of the carriage window, and reminded Uncle Xiang who was a little excited next to the car, and regardless of Uncle Xiang's surprised face to look at him, Li Zhen directly lowered the curtain.

Suddenly, Uncle Xiang understood everything, and hurriedly nodded in response, but before getting into the car, he glanced at Ding Li, who had not yet left the city, and quickly got into the carriage with a full face of relief. ”

"Hmmm! Tian Gaolang is not a fool, and the trouble of finding Ziyi is completely unnecessary in his opinion! What he wants is only what he wants, although Ziyi did hold him hostage, but in comparison, the help I can give him is far more important than the hostage he receives! Li Zhen nodded lightly, and then slowly closed his eyes, a simple and clear analysis made Uncle Xiang secretly shocked, and at the same time, he became more and more curious about what kind of exchange conditions Tian Gaolang proposed, but looking at Li Yuan's appearance, he didn't seem to want to mention these, and Uncle Xiang had never had the habit of talking too much, and after sighing slightly, he also leaned back, slowly closed his eyes, and began to recuperate.

After Fan Ying and Ding Li arrived, a general from Jiedu Mansion at the rear of the convoy stepped forward to give advice, and then Fan Ying and Ding Li followed the convoy of Jiedu Mansion and began to set off for Guangzhou Mansion.

"Brother Li, I didn't expect it! It turned out to be Li Jiedu who came forward in person! No wonder Tian Gaolang's eunuch agreed so quickly! It's not enough time for a stick of incense, it's unbelievable! Fan Ying also didn't sleep all night, he still clearly remembered Yang Hongwen's advice when he left yesterday, lest something happen to Ding Li, Fan Ying personally took dozens of descendants under his command to guard the city, although he was exhausted at the moment, but it was not too difficult for Fan Ying, who was born in the army, not to mention that such an exciting thing was happening right now.

"Huh! Brother Fan laughed, but this matter can only be used if Li Jiedu comes forward, although the old man of the Zhang family has a lot of financial resources, but if he wants to talk to Tian Gaolang, who is the envoy of the city, I am afraid that it is indeed a bit insufficient! Ding Li didn't show too much surprise about this, after all, it was not a trivial matter for him to hold the city envoy hostage, even if Zhang Kuang came, it would be useless, and the conditions that Zhang Kuang could give or agree to were definitely not as good as Li Quan.

Thinking of this, Ding Li shook his head slightly, glanced at Fan Ying next to him, who was still full of admiration, and continued to add in a low voice: "Brother Fan! How can I say that I hijacked the city envoy for the sake of Second Brother Zhang, and after all, our Southern Navy is also Li Jiedu's descendant troops, just for two points, I think Old Man Zhang and Li Jiedu will also do their best! What's more, now that the second brother has escaped from the sea, but he is still carrying the charges, Old Man Zhang and Li Jiedu naturally have to find a way to wash away the charges of the second brother Zhang! It's not a strange thing to pull me by the way! ”

"Yes, Brother Li, you can see it! When you say that, I can figure it out a lot! Fan Ying arched his hand towards Ding Li, smiled and slapped Ding Li without leaving a trace: "But the important thing is that Brother Li is capable, presumably even if Li Jiedu pulls Brother Li by the way, you have to pay something, how to say, you are also the one who hijacked the envoy of the city with your own hands, and Tian Gaolang is unlikely to let you go too easily!" ”

After hearing that Tian Gaolang let him go, Ding Li felt that there seemed to be something wrong along the way, but he couldn't say where it was, and even wishful thinking that Jiedu enabled Li Li to easily rescue himself, but now Fan Ying's words made Ding Li wake up like a dream, and at the same time fell into deep confusion.

Of course, Ding Li would never have thought that before Li Zhen knew his life experience, he once made up his mind to give up Ding Li, that is, let Tian Gaolang, the envoy of the city, dispose of Ding Li, and there was only one result, Ding Li could not escape the death penalty.

And more importantly, what Ding Li didn't expect was the condition that Li Zhen promised Tian Gaolang when he rescued him, and even Fan Ying next to Ding Li didn't know that he was completely leaving Fuxu Town with the escort of his headquarters.

Li Zhen in the carriage felt very complicated in his heart, since he met Tian Gaolang, there seemed to be a few more wrinkles on his old face in an instant, and the sadness on his face completely covered up the previous excitement and a little surprise. In order to make Tian Gaolang and the officials of the entire city ship department reach a unanimous reluge, Li Zhen agreed to withdraw his own descendants from Dongying five formed regiments, that is, a total of 1,000 troops, and in this way, for the control of Fuxu Town, Li Zhen is a little worse than the city envoy and the observation envoy in terms of military strength.

Of course, Tian Gaolang will not be short-sighted enough to just put forward such a condition that Li Yuan can easily do, and the tax revenue of the city shipping department will no longer be supplied to Lingnan Dongdao within a year, in fact, it will no longer be subject to the restrictions of the Jiedu Mansion. Although it doesn't sound like much, but the income of the city shipping department includes the two major ports of Guangzhou Port and Fuxu Port, and its daily circulation of money and silver is innumerable, if the part of the Jiedu Mansion is saved, not only the entire city shipping department can earn a lot of money, but also Tian Gaolang can also improve his political performance when he was in office, and even if Tian Gao Lang is willing to do more harsh policies on businessmen, it is very possible to double it.

In this way, Tian Gaolang is equivalent to putting forward the constraints on the financial power and military power of the Jiedu Mansion, and if it is really implemented as Tian Gaolang planned, in the long run, it will naturally cause the Jiedu Mansion and the City Shipping Division to eliminate the other's strengths, in fact, this matter alone is likely to cause the Jiedu Mansion to greatly reduce the control of the Municipal Shipping Division in the future, and even can only let the Municipal Shipping Division act arbitrarily.

Just left Fuxu Town not far away, a team in charge of guarding in the rear by Fan Ying's descendants was riding a horse to Fan Ying's side, hurriedly stopped his mount, saluted Fan Ying and Ding Li with fists, and reported in a deep voice: "Report to Captain Fan, there are Miao masters of the Miao Dart Bureau in the rear and two dart heads arrived with a few Miao Dart Bureau dart masters, saying that they want to see off Brother Li, and the subordinates don't know if it is convenient, so I am here to ask for instructions!" ”

"Oh?" Fan Ying and Ding Li were both slightly stunned, and then Fan Ying nodded at the team that came to report, waved his hand at the other party and instructed: "You go back, tell Miao Dangjia that the time is urgent, and if you have anything to say, it will be as soon as possible, after all, it is Li Jiedu's team, it is not good to delay for too long!" ”

After that, Fan Ying turned his head and instructed Ding Li: "Brother Li, go quickly!" But it must be fast, I think this way, Li Jiedu is in such a hurry, he should rush back to Guangzhou Mansion as soon as possible! ”

"Understood, I'm causing trouble to Brother Fan!" Ding Li didn't shirk it, and Miao Cuihua and others made a special trip to see him, Ding Li felt that he should indeed go to see him, arched his hand towards Fan Ying, pulled up the reins and followed the team that had returned.

When seeing that Ding Li appeared in front of him was not damaged at all, Miao Cuihua and Li Shan, Scar Wei and the seven or eight dart masters of the dart bureau were also relieved, these dart masters have all fought side by side with Ding Li, since yesterday after hearing about Ding Li's deeds in Fuxu Port, Miao Cuihua and others have been worried, and even secretly did not send money to find out the news, but after being brought into the city, even Fan Ying at that time could not get any exact news about Ding Li, let alone Miao Cuihua.

Not long ago, I suddenly heard that the Jiedu envoy personally went to the city ship division, and then Ding Li was released after a short time, and Miao Cuihua, who got the news, immediately chased Li Shan and Scar Wei and others out of the city, but in any case, they didn't expect that Ding Li could appear in front of him unharmed from such a big crime as hijacking the city ship envoy.

"Great! Ali! You're all right! Without waiting for Ding Li to get off the mount, Miao Cuihua took the lead and rushed forward, Li Shan, Scar Guard and other dart masters were not far behind and rushed up to surround Ding Li, looking Ding Li up and down while not forgetting to say a lot of words of concern, such a scene made Ding Li a little at a loss, but there was a sudden infinite warmth in his heart, and quickly wandered all over the body, under the afternoon sun, let Ding Li feel a burst of warmth.

After a brief chat with Miao Cuihua and the others, Ding Li caught a glimpse of the team standing on the side of the official road from time to time casting anxious glances at him, but he didn't dare to come forward to urge him. Immediately, Ding Li turned his head to look at the convoy that could only see the tail, and also understood the team's thoughts, so he raised his arm and waved it slightly, and then bowed to Miao Cuihua, Li Shan and others, and said goodbye to everyone with a smile: "Sister Miao, Brother Li, Brother Wei, brothers, today is really in a hurry, and I can't continue to stay!" When this matter is completely settled, I will definitely go to Fuxu Town in person and express my gratitude to you in person! ”

"Okay, Ali, we will all be relieved to see that you are okay!" Seeing this, Miao Cuihua also nodded understandingly, and boldly took the lead in returning the salute with a fist to Ding Li, and then glanced at the convoy behind Ding Li, which had gradually been completely shrouded in smoke and dust, and then looked at Ding Li again and added with a smile: "After all, it is Li Jiedu's convoy, Ali, you better catch up quickly!" Otherwise, it won't look good if you fall behind! ”

"That's it! Ali, go ahead! Our brothers were completely relieved to see that you were okay! Li Shan stepped forward and patted Ding Li's shoulder a few times, and then patted his chest and explained with a hearty smile.

"Okay! Ladies and gentlemen, let's take our leave! Ding Li nodded heavily, clenched his fists again towards everyone, then turned around and jumped on his mount, shook his head at the anxious team who was already waiting on the side of the official road, and said with a smile: "Brother, it's trouble!" Let's go! ”
