Chapter 225: The Girl in the Red Dress
After crossing the river from Yanziji, Zhang Zhen did not travel very fast, this was not because he deliberately delayed the trip, but the distance from Yingtian to Dengzhou was not short, it was 1,500 miles, and he had to cherish the horsepower.
I have to say that Jinling City, as the capital of the Ming Dynasty, is still very lively, and even the pedestrians on the official road are endless.
Zhang Lu's horseback riding speed was not slow, but he was still caught up by the bursts of smoke and dust behind him.
Listening to the rapid sound of horses' hooves behind him, Zhang Lu turned around and looked, only to see more than 20 people wearing brocade uniforms beating horses.
These brocade guards travel extremely fast, and will shout loudly to make pedestrians dodge when they encounter a lot of pedestrians.
Zhang Zhen shook his head secretly, this is also in Daming, if in the future, you see if the traffic police punish you, just see if anyone is so rampage to expose you to the Internet.
When these brocade guards passed by Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan also began to speed up, and he walked in line with Liu Erbi, and asked, "Where are you going?"
Liu Erbian was concentrating on riding a horse, when he suddenly heard someone talking to him, and almost fell off his head, he stabilized his body and looked at the person who spoke, only to find that it was Zhang Lu beside him.
While keeping moving, he said to Zhang Yuan, "What a coincidence, why are you here, second junior brother?"
Zhang Yan looked helpless: "How many times have I told you, don't call me the second senior brother or the second senior brother......
Liu Erpan nodded thoughtfully: "Okay, second junior brother."
Zhang Lu was helpless, but he didn't want to say much, after all, his mouth was on others, he changed the topic and asked again, "Is this a mission?"
Liu Erpan nodded, and said proudly: "Yes, Your Majesty gave the will, and the Overseer specially arranged for us people to do it, and now I am also the leader of these people."
There was obviously a hint of excitement in Liu Erbi's words, this was the first time he had gone out on a mission.
Zhang Yi also thought of a lot of things in his mind, Zhu Yuanzhang sent to various places to spread the edict during the Zhu Yuanzhang period, basically Jinyiwei, and now at this juncture, there are still a lot of Jinyiwei, thinking about what is important.
Zhang Yan was also curious, he wanted to follow and take a look, but when he turned his head, he found that all the brocade guards were riding in one person and two horses, if he accelerated to keep up, I was afraid that it would not be long before the horses under his crotch would be exhausted to death.
There was no way, Zhang Lu could only suppress his curiosity, nodded towards Liu Erbi, and said, "I also have something to go back to my hometown, seeing that you are so anxious, I wish you brothers success."
After Zhang Yan finished speaking, he lowered the speed of the horse, and watched the smoke and dust get farther and farther away from him.
A few days later, Zhang Lu finally arrived in Dengzhou, and along the way, he wanted to see if he could do some chivalrous and righteous deeds or make friends with some Jianghu characters, but unfortunately it backfired, and the road was surprisingly peaceful.
Since he had already planned to abandon the identity of Jin Yiwei, Zhang Yi simply wrapped the embroidered spring knife in cloth and carried it on his back to prevent Jin Yiwei's identity from being discovered.
It must be known that the people of Jianghu have always treated Jinyiwei very badly.
….
When he arrived at Dengzhou Mansion, Zhang Lu did not rush to Ninghai Prefecture, nor did he rush to his home to see, but asked the locals all the way about Zhang's family.
The Zhang family is already one of the best wealthy families in Ninghai Prefecture, but the reputation does not seem to be very good in the local area.
The Zhang family is a big family, and it was quite restrained a few years ago, since they knew that Zhang Yu had become a Ming official, the Zhang family naturally became a martial arts family.
Since then, the Zhang family has relied on this identity to begin to forcibly buy land in the local area, and has done a lot of forced buying and selling. Even the local county magistrate dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.
In addition to these, the Zhang family also did not deal with the local Zhao family and the Jianghu sect Zhenhailou.
Different from the Zhang family, the head of the Zhao family is known as Zhao Dashan, who is kind and charitable on weekdays, and has a good reputation in the local area
When you go to Zhenhai Tower, you will give a thumbs up.
Zhang Lu lamented the shamelessness of the Zhang family, if the Zhang family had anything else, he really didn't plan to help, but it involved the Japanese Kou, so Zhang Lu had to get involved.
Since he didn't go to Zhang's house, Zhang Lu found an inn, tied the horse first, and let Xiao Er feed the fodder, so he planned to go to the coastline to walk around first, he wanted to see where the Japanese had landed from.
……
"How? Did you find it?" On the beach, a beautiful girl in a red dress was asking her maid, and it could be heard from her tone that her personality was as irritable as her red dress.
The maid was obviously a little scared, but she still said, "Miss, I didn't find it."
The girl in the red dress poked the maid's head: "It's really stupid, I can't even find a scabbard, forget it, I'll find it myself."
After saying that, the girl in the red dress began to look for her on the beach, and the maid was not idle.
Now the tide is not high, and the master and servant are looking for it one reef after another.
I don't know how long it took, the maid gently tugged at the sleeve of the girl in the red dress, and called softly, "Miss, Miss."
The girl in the red dress frowned slightly, turned to the maid and asked, "What? Found my scabbard?"
The maid shook her head and pointed forward, "Miss, look."
The girl in the red dress looked in the direction of the maid's point, and saw a man walking slowly along the shore, and he happened to have a scabbard in his hand.
This man is none other than Zhang Lu.
The woman in the red dress strode directly towards Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Lu naturally saw the master and servant, but he didn't know why the girl in the red dress looked bitter and hateful.
Seeing that the girl was walking towards her, before she could say hello, the girl in the red dress directly stretched out her hand and said, "Give it to me!"
These words made Zhang Lu inexplicable, and he couldn't help asking, "What for you?" We don't know each other, do we?"
The girl in the red dress crossed her hands on her hips, looking quite arrogant, she looked up and down for a while, and then said, "It's reasonable to look at your appearance, but you think that you can let Miss Ben know you just by your looks? What a joke!"
The maid was also beside her and said, "That's it."
Zhang Zhen looked down at what he was wearing, in order not to be so conspicuous, he neither wore the uniform of the brocade guard, nor did he wear any luxurious robes that only the children of the noble can afford to wear, but simply wore a scholar's robe, plus the dust and dust in the past few days, he did not change his clothes all the way, from the outside, he really looked like a poor scholar with a poor family background.
Night rivers and lakes.
