It's past noon.

There was news from the government that according to the list provided by Chu Ge, a lot of lurking shadows were caught this time.

Among them, there are not only the shadows of the Holy Sect's traitors, but even some Nanban spies.

However, this time all the fish caught were small shrimps, real big fish, after learning that Cai Wei was caught, obviously in order to prevent Cai Wei from leaking secrets, cautiously transferred and lurked.

After this arrest, it will not be so easy to catch them again.

These little shrimps know very limited information, and they don't have much value, and Chu Ge doesn't bother to interrogate.

It's just that without these small shrimps, the intelligence chain between the Holy Sect and the Nanban will be temporarily broken, which is still good for Dali.

Early in the morning of the second day.

Zhuge Tao ordered to set off and headed for Shizhou.

The Blood Jiao Army quickly reorganized its army outside the post station, and the group did not alarm the Jiangzhou government again, and went out of the city from Dongcheng and rushed towards Shizhou.

......

Two days later.

The team passed through two counties in Jiangzhou, and finally arrived at the junction of Shizhou and Jiangzhou.

Different from the vast plain landform of Jiangzhou, Shizhou is mountainous, with rolling peaks, beautiful and elegant, and majestic peaks.

Not long after the team marched through the territory of Shizhou, they heard a huge "rumbling" roar not far away.

After approaching, I saw that a huge waterfall with a width of twenty or thirty zhang hung down from the towering mountain wall, and the whole body collapsed and scattered jade, like snow and mist, and the cool breeze blew from under the waterfall, which made people feel like washing.

Lifting the curtain to look at Chu Ge, who was not far away at the waterfall, he exclaimed:

"Although Jiangzhou is rich, it does not have such magnificent beauty."

Zhuge Tao in the carriage sighed: "Although the scenery is good, but it can't be eaten, Shizhou and Baizhou are mostly steep mountains, difficult to cultivate, plus it borders the Southern Barbarian State, there are wars from time to time, and there are more often Gu worms for the disaster of the fields, so that the tenants can not pay taxes." ”

"The people can only abandon the fields and hide in the city to find another livelihood, or simply become homeless people, leaving the grass into a coward, which makes the land of these two continents seriously troubled and the life of the people more difficult."

Chu Ge said in his heart: This is a vicious circle.

After marching for more than a day, the Futai team finally arrived at the main city of Shizhou, Panshi City.

I don't know if Chu Ge and their team are too aggressive, but they didn't encounter mountain bandits along the way.

Chu Ge stepped out of the carriage.

This huge rock city has a huge wall of 20 meters high, and the city wall is made of black iron stone, a specialty of Shizhou.

This kind of black iron stone is unusually strong, even if it is a master of the product, it is difficult to damage it, and the construction of this rock city took a huge amount of manpower and material resources in Shizhou, and it took more than 20 years to build.

However, after the city was built.

Once when the Southern Barbarians invaded Dali, they held out for more than a month without breaking the city, and survived until the arrival of reinforcements and broke the enemy army.

The name of the rock resounded in the world.

The mottled traces on the city walls seem to silently tell the great history of this heroic ancient city.

At the gate of the city, at this time, there were two teams of elite soldiers with bright armor.

Among the soldiers, dozens of Shizhou officials wearing various official uniforms were waiting here.

After the Futai team came over, several officials in scarlet robes led by the hundreds of officials from Shizhou and ushered towards the carriage where Zhuge Tao was.

Seeing Zhuge Tao walking down from the carriage, a middle-aged official with long narrow eyes and a thin chin with a goat's beard stepped forward with a big smile and said:

"Lord Futai, it's finally time for you."

Zhuge Tao smiled and arched his hand: "Political envoy Ran Bu, you are waiting here with your colleagues from Shizhou, but this official can't afford it." ”

Lord Ran, the political envoy of Shizhou, squinted his eyes and smiled:

"Lord Futai has come all the way from Kyoto, but carrying the grace of the saint, this official received a message from the county official, saying that the lord will arrive today, if he neglects, it will not be a disappointment to the emperor's grace."

"Although Shizhou is only a remote place, many of our officials in Shizhou dare not forget the Holy One for a day."

Chu Ge, who was standing on the side with his hands on his chest, listened to the "true feelings" speech of this political envoy.

can climb to the position of this second-class master, and sure enough, there are "real materials".

However, in the list given by Cai Wei before, there was no political envoy of Ran Bu.

But the suspicion of this person cannot be ruled out.

When we first met, I was loyal, although it can be said that I know the way of being an official, but is this too humble?

After all, he is a big member of the party, if he has no ghost in his heart, even if he is a minister, he doesn't have to be so humble.

After a simple politeness, as in Jiangzhou, Ran Bu's political envoy led Zhuge Tao and introduced the Shizhou officials to him one by one, while Chu Ge on the side was secretly paying attention.

Write down the information of these officials, especially those on the list.

The political envoy of Ran Bu first introduced Zhuge Tao to a middle-aged general wearing silver light armor, cold and serious, and tall.

"This is the commander of our Shizhou Command Envoy, Master Fu."

In Dali, among the local prefectures, the highest level is the three divisions: the commander of the envoy department, the political envoy department of the announcement of the declaration, and the prosecution of the punishment department.

Among them, the commander of the envoy department controls the local military power and has the greatest power.

Cheng Xuan Political Envoy Department is responsible for local government affairs, and the probationary department is responsible for the prosecution of local officials, but in a border prefecture like Shizhou, this procuratorial power is basically hollowed out.

Therefore, this political envoy naturally has to start with the biggest one, and this order must not be messed up, otherwise it will be a grudge against others.

A smile appeared on the serious face of the middle-aged general: "Lord Futai, I have admired the name for a long time." ”

Zhuge Tao also responded politely: "All command the envoys, look up to them for a long time." ”

Chu Ge secretly looked at the commander, who seemed to be a serious military boss on the surface, and there was no other party in the list given by Cai Wei.

However, the two of his subordinates, both of whom are in command and know the same knowledge, are on the list.

These two people can be said to be each other's right-hand men, in the metropolitan command department, second only to the local officials of the metropolitan commanders, and from the second rank of high-ranking officials.

As a boss who controls the military power of one side, he doesn't know anything about his two subordinates investing in traitors?

I'm afraid no one will believe this.

And because the commander of the envoy is in control of the military power, the other party has surrendered to the enemy, and for Chu Ge and them, it is the most dangerous.

Even if the Blood Jiao Army is brave and good at fighting, but with two hundred, the enemy has a continent of soldiers and horses, and it is not self-sufficient.

At that time, even with the elite protection of the six groups of the Inspection Academy, coupled with the strength of Zhuge Tao and Chu Ge themselves, it will be extremely difficult to get out of Shizhou.

Since it is not yet time to tear his face, even in the face of those officials on the list, Zhuge Tao still pretends not to know at all.

The whole introduction was particularly harmonious.
