Chapter 404: Entering Nanyang on the third day of the first month of March

Shen Linfeng was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly asked, "Do you know which boundary it is?"

Chen Dequan glared at Shen Linfeng with a little surprise, he didn't seem to understand why Shen Linfeng was interested in this deposed prince.

"To tell you the truth, we, the old ministers of the court, also want to get in touch with the former prince. Can...... Lord Wang, he is staring too closely, and we can't help it!" Chen Dequan sighed, his face full of regret.

Shen Linfeng thought about it carefully, the third prince tried his best to abolish the crown prince, so that he was replaced with his favorite candidate. But the crown prince has been deposed, and if he is killed in a hurry, it will inevitably cause public anger. Therefore, the prince issued it to the boundary. But if he wanted to minimize the risk, the only feasible way was to let him lose all contact with the Manchu civil and military forces.

Shen Linfeng nodded understandingly, but he still didn't give up and asked, "Then what is the name of this prince?"

"His name is Lin Zimin!"

"Lin Zimin?" Shen Linfeng muttered softly.

"Childe, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Linfeng came back to his senses and hurriedly explained: "Oh, it's okay, it may be that I recognized the wrong person." ”

"Sir, please go back, Linfeng has said goodbye!" After speaking, Shen Linfeng turned around and left.

Shen Linfeng went to Southern Emperor City and first retrieved the Red Flame Horse stored there. Then he went to the inn, and he and Qiu Ningxue had left two disciples of Meihuazhuang in this inn before going to Dongling Mountain. And the task given to them is...... Look at Xu Zhenjiang.

After briefly explaining the situation to the two Meihuazhuang disciples, Shen Linfeng told them about Qiu Ningxue's injury. Although the two disciples looked worried, they didn't say too much.

"Don't worry, your senior sister will definitely come back to join you before the fifth day of the new year. Shen Linfeng said.

"Well, thank you Brother Shen for telling me!"

Shen Linfeng glanced at Xu Zhenjiang, who was tied to the bed, his hands were wrapped with gauze, and there were still a little blood stains on them.

"This person is extremely cunning, you two must keep an eye on him, and you must not fall into his way. ”

"Brother Shen, don't worry, my junior brother and brother have their own measure!"

Shen Linfeng nodded.

"That's goodbye!"

"Brother Shen, take care!"

"Well, take care!"

Nothing to say all the way, go straight to Nanyang.

Nanyang is one of the most prosperous cities in the Celestial Empire. It has a vast area, and only one urban area is several times larger than the entire Qingzhou City.

Suburbs of Nanyang.

In the early morning of the third day of the third month of March, Shen Linfeng rushed here. Although it is a suburb, there are many taverns and inns on both sides of the road. Plainly dressed people walked the streets with wooden carts in hand or bamboo baskets on their waists. They met each other and nodded with a smile, looking harmonious.

"Drive!" came from a distance.

Shen Linfeng frowned and looked over, only to see a team of people in the rivers and lakes riding fast horses rushing from a distance. They were dressed for a while, their faces were grim, and there were seventy or eighty people as far as the eye could see.

The horses whistled past, and suddenly puffed up clouds of dust.

"Phew, what's ......?"

"What a goddamn lack of morality!" a few business vendors cursed quietly as they swept away the dust with towels.

Shen Linfeng looked at the horse team that was gradually informed, he walked to the side of the road, and asked an old vegetable seller, "Uncle, who were those people just now?"

The old man glanced up at Shen Linfeng, and then lowered his head to wipe the dusty vegetables.

"It's all people from the rivers and lakes who are at the rally!" replied the old man.

"Are there many people like this in recent days?"

The old man got up suddenly, glaring at Shen Linfeng as if he was looking at a monster.

"It's a lot? It's almost breaking Nanyang City. These rude people are really ......"

"Hey, don't say it, don't say it......" The vendor on the side hurriedly interrupted the old man's words, and at the same time kept glancing into the distance.

The old vegetable seller looked at the hawker's gaze, and saw that in the tavern next to him, more than a dozen strong men walked out of it one after another.

The old man seemed a little frightened, and he said without raising his head: "Young man, if you are also attending the assembly, then go into the city." If you are not attending the rally, I advise you to find another way. ”

Shen Linfeng watched the big men of the rivers and lakes walk by, and then asked, "Uncle, why do you want to find another way?"

The old man looked at the backs of the departing men with palpitations, and said: "Now there is chaos in Nanyang City, and there are fights with swords and weapons almost every day. I see that you are young, so it's better to go in and cause trouble less. ”

Shen Linfeng thought about it carefully, and the Nanyang rally almost affected the entire rivers and lakes. Moreover, the sects that rushed to participate were also diverse, and there would inevitably be some people who were bullying and arrogant. I just listened to what this old man said, it seems that Nanyang is really not an ordinary "lively" these days!

Bidding farewell to the old vegetable seller, Shen Linfeng walked along the road in the direction of Nanyang.

The roadside is lined with tall trees, and magpies chirp in the branches. Shen Linfeng stepped on the smooth road and looked at the city gate that was gradually approaching.

The city wall of Nanyang is as high as more than ten zhang, and the depth of the wall is nearly five or six zhang. The entire wall is painted with red paint, and the wall is made of solid stone.

Shen Linfeng approached the city gate, and saw several arrow towers as high as the city wall standing impressively on both sides. They stood majestically, like a few strong giants guarding the gateway to Nanyang's entry into the city.

Outside the city gates, there were guards who stood in order along the road. Shen Linfeng walked all the way, and in just half a mile, there were nearly 100 well-equipped soldiers guarding him.

"It seems that the imperial court has also made a lot of money for this Nanyang rally. Shen Linfeng thought in his heart as he entered Nanyang City with a wry smile.

"Stop!" a soldier defending the city stretched out his hand to stop Shen Linfeng.

In front of the soldier was a black lacquered wooden table, with some pen, ink, paper and inkstones on the table, which appeared to be used for registration.

The soldier looked at the gray cloth bag behind Shen Linfeng.

"What's in there?"

"Sword!" Shen Linfeng replied simply and clearly.

"Are you here for the rally?" said this, and the soldier had already picked up the brush on the table.

"What's your name?"

"Shen Feng!"

"What kind of sect?"

Shen Linfeng hesitated slightly, and after a moment, he said, "Qishan Sect!"

"Qishan?" the soldier furrowed. He glanced at Shen Linfeng again, and then waved his hand.

"Let's go, let's go!"

Shen Linfeng smiled and thanked him, and then walked straight to the city.

"It's really fucking strange, our gathering in the rivers and lakes actually has a whole group of officers and soldiers of the imperial court registered outside the door. ”

"Who's to say it's not! I'll just say it's not easy, you see...... Even his mother's court intervened. ”

"Whatever, if you want a small sect like us, just make a scene......
