Zhang Zheng and his entourage have been resting in Linyuan for several days. After healing the wounds in his heart, Zhang Zheng finally decided to leave this small county town with less than 20,000 people!

After learning the news that Zhang Zheng and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were finally about to set off. A group of officials from Linyuan County, led by the county commander He Wen, suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief.

He Wen even shouted in his heart: "Finally sent these plague gods away." "It's not that He Wen doesn't want to see them, it's mainly that there is such a great god as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince among this group of people.

With such a noble status, if something happens in Linyuan County, can there still be living people in Linyuan County?

The majesty in the Taiji Palace is not easy to get along with. As long as there is a desire to take in His Royal Highness the Prince, a little person like He Wen will not do such a dream as the work of the dragon.

If it's unrealistic, it's easy to lose your head. Therefore, He Wen and the subordinate officials of Linyuan County had a picture on their faces

The expression of "reluctance" sent everyone out of the county thirty miles south of the county like a plague god.

And prayed to the gods from the bottom of his heart: "Let's let them go to the scourge of Feng An, this acre and three points of land in Linyuan County can't accommodate such two great gods!" It's better not to come again. "At the beginning, when He Wen knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince almost died in the flood in the Lingqu, he almost lost his soul.

You must know that this section of the spiritual canal is good to die and not to die, and it is under the rule of Linyuan County. The prince's incident in Linyuan County, as the order of Linyuan County, can He Wen please it.

At the worst, they will be dismissed from office and migrate, and at worst, they will be beheaded and their homes will be raided. When it comes to migration, this is already in Lingnan, where else can it go.

Therefore, if Li Chengqian, Zhang Zheng and others are really wiped out, the greatest possibility is to cut off their heads and seize their homes.

There was no way to continue walking on the waterway, and the rejuvenated team embarked on the five-foot road built in the pre-Qin period.

The officials of Linyuan County also kindly prepared a foot for His Royal Highness the Prince. Of course, others don't have this kind of good thing.

There are no war horses in Lingnan, only the kind of donkeys that can be dragged to the ground with both feet when ridden. There are also horses that can walk, and the speed is not as fast as that of a human walking on both legs.

Zhang Zheng asked the officials of Linyuan County for a donkey. It's better than nothing.

Others have no choice but to walk, much slower. When Zhang Zheng and his group saw from afar, the large-scale city next to the mouth of the Pearl River.

It's already ten days later. Guangzhou, the only big city in Lingnan, is also the most populous city in the Tang Dynasty except Chang'an, Luoyang, and Jinyang.

The earliest name of Guangzhou was Chuting, and the specific origin of the name is no longer verifiable. In the pre-Sui period, in order to avoid the Sui Emperor Yang Guang's confession, it was renamed Fanzhou, and the seat of governance was in Nanhai County.

Wude was abandoned in four years, and Nanhai County was abolished, and Panyu County was established, which belonged to Lingnan Road. At that time, it was also known as Guangzhou County, or Guangzhou Governor's Mansion.

During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Central Plains Empire accepted the whole world with an open attitude. Guangzhou is the city with the most mature routes and the most complete infrastructure in the South China Sea.

Its extensive waterway transportation network has also become an important port for communication between South Asia and Southeast Asia during the Tang Dynasty.

Occupying the right time and place, Guangzhou's economy has made great strides in just a few decades.

Today, the population has exceeded 200,000, making it the undoubted fourth city of Datang. Before entering the city, Zhang Zheng and the others had already seen countless merchant ships running parallel to the Pearl River.

The flat-bottomed style riverboats of the Tang Dynasty are the most, and there are also many sharp-horned boats from South Asia and Southeast Asia. There are even steeple-bottomed tall ships from the Persian Gulf generation that sail the river.

Laborers on the docks and harbors, shirtless and sweating. shouted all kinds of horns that Zhang Zheng and his party couldn't understand, and they were carrying goods from all over the world.

More than half of them have different customs and appearances from the Han people in the Central Plains. It is said that Chang'an is the center of the world, but the place with the most foreigners is the port city of Guangzhou.

The exotic Hu people in Chang'an are mostly haunted in the east and west cities, but the exotic Hu people in Guangzhou can be seen everywhere. If you don't know clearly that Guangzhou is a city under the rule of the Tang Dynasty.

Zhang Zheng and Li Chengqian thought they had come to a foreign country. Guangzhou is a real commercial city and is far from Chang'an.

The various rules in Chang'an seem to have changed after coming to Guangzhou. Take entering the city as an example, Zhang Zheng and Li Chengqian led hundreds of strong men behind them.

Moreover, this strong man looks more fierce than the other, and he still holds various styles of blades temporarily replenished from the Linyuan County Ya.

If it is placed in the Central Plains, Zhang Zheng, Li Chengqian and this group of soldiers want to enter the city. An interrogation from the city gate official was indispensable no matter what.

But in Guangzhou, Zhang Zheng and Li Chengqian walked into the city with such a swagger. Not to mention any interrogation, the soldiers guarding the door didn't even look at them.

"It seems that the security in Guangzhou is not bad, didn't it say that the Lingnan bureaucrats rebelled, why did we come this way, and it seems that we didn't find any traces of war......" After entering the city, Li Chengqian pulled Zhang Zhengdong to ask and ask Xi like a curious baby, which made Zhang Zheng tired of it.

However, Li Chengqian's doubts are also the doubts of Zhang Zheng, Zhang Fusheng, Huang Jiahao and a group of naval soldiers.

Didn't it say that there was a rebellion in Lingnan, and why did Guangzhou seem to be unaffected at all?

Feng Ang is lying about the military situation? A bold idea rose in Zhang Zheng's heart, and then was vetoed by Zhang Zheng!

No matter how bold Feng Ang was, he didn't dare to do such a rebellious thing. Otherwise, once the rumors leak out, the sailors stationed on the river can turn the 8,000 private soldiers under Feng Ang's command into powder in an instant.

Feng Ang is not so bold, and his brain is not so stupid! So the news of the rebellion must be true.

Just looking at the thriving appearance of Guangzhou, maybe the situation is not as serious as I imagined.

After entering the city, Zhang Zheng and Li Chengqian did not go to the Assassin's Mansion in Guangzhou. Instead, he came directly to the Geng Guo Mansion located on the south side of Panyu County.

In Lingnan, Feng An's words are more effective than the assassination of Shifu. On the land of Lingnan, Feng Ang is the sky. Zhang Zheng wanted to find out the reason for the rebellion of the Lingnan bureaucrats, and it was more useful to find Feng Ang directly than to find the assassin Shi.

When the group walked to the gate of Geng Guogong's mansion, Zhang Zheng suddenly stopped, and his eyes rolled. Then he turned around and whispered a few words in Zhang Fusheng's ear.

After Zhang Fusheng listened, he nodded solemnly. Then he greeted Huang Jiahao. The two slowly blended into the crowd, and in an instant, they disappeared!
