Chapter 16: Departure
Zeng Yingjun hurriedly said politely: "The marshal doesn't need to say thank you. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info just happened to come across under the next, and it was handy. If the marshal is so polite again, I will not be able to drink this wine. ”
Marshal Lin was stunned when he heard this, and laughed with 'haha'. After laughing, he said: "Zeng Shaoxia is really a man of temperament, then I won't thank you anymore." It's just that Zeng Shaoxia needs help in the future, even if he speaks. ”
Zeng Yingjun said: "Don't worry, marshal, if there is a need, he will naturally speak." But -----"
"But what?" Zeng Shaoxia spoke. Marshal Lin saw that Zeng Yingjun wanted to speak and stopped, so he asked.
"Actually, it's nothing, presumably the marshal has already guessed that my master is the 'Hao Divine Doctor' and 'Hao Madman'. Now that I have come out of the mountain to inquire about the whereabouts of my master, I wonder if the marshal has any clues?" Zeng Yingjun asked.
Marshal Lin pondered for a while and said, "Zeng Shaoxia also knows that as a marshal guarding the pass, I can't return to the imperial city once in a few years. And the information in the rivers and lakes will not be passed on to me as an irrelevant person. If Zeng Shaoxia needs it, I can write a letter, and you can go to the imperial city to find the prime minister, Huang Fuxiong. He runs the intelligence network, and he probably knows more than I know. ”
Zeng Yingjun said gratefully when he heard this: "Then thank the marshal, come, I salute the marshal for a cup!" After speaking, he raised his head and drank a cup.
When Marshal Lin saw it, he nodded again and again and said, "Okay, okay, don't get drunk tonight." After speaking, he raised his head and drank it.
The two talked happily, Zeng Yingjun asked about the form of the rivers and lakes, but Marshal Lin sighed. Zeng Yingjun asked, "Why did the marshal sigh?"
Marshal Lin said: "Zeng Shaoxia doesn't know, now that my Great Xia Kingdom has encountered an existential crisis, I have to sigh every time I think about it!"
Zeng Yingjun said curiously: "According to my master, the Great Xia Kingdom is the largest country, the surrounding countries pay tribute every year, and the country is strong and strong, how can it encounter an existential crisis?"
"What I said today, I hope Zeng Shaoxia won't spread it. Seeing Zeng Yingjun nodding in agreement, Marshal Lin continued: "Today's emperor has six princes and four princesses. In the past few years, five princes and two princesses have died in various accidents. Now there is a small prince missing, and there is a princess who is married to Xiliangguo. Now there is only one princess Tianxiang left, which must be extremely dangerous. Now the emperor is facing the situation of having no successor, this is one of them; King Fu and King An are ambitious, and they have formed gangs with their ministers, and they have become more and more high-profile in recent years, and they are obviously preparing to be the new emperor, which is the second thing. ”
Speaking of this, Marshal Lin drank three glasses of wine in a row before continuing: "Now the cults of the Great Xia Kingdom are rampant, especially the Tianzun Sect, claiming that even the heavens will respect them. The imperial court tried to encircle and suppress them several times, but they were unsuccessful, but they angered the Tianzun Sect. Mozhou, where the Tianzun Sect is located, has now become the territory of the Tianzun Sect. But all the officials sent by the imperial court were either bribed or killed. Moreover, the methods of the Tianzun cult are vicious, and they often use living people to practice. In recent years, many civilians have fled and left Mozhou, which is the third, and these three points are the domestic worries of Great Xia. ”
Zeng Yingjun knew that Marshal Lin must not have finished speaking, so he poured Marshal Lin a good wine and listened to him continue.
Sure enough, Marshal Lin finished drinking and continued: "Now that the Northern Plains Kingdom and the Western Liang Kingdom are all ready to move, just wait for my Great Xia Kingdom to be in chaos, and then take advantage of the situation to attack my Great Xia Kingdom, this is an external threat." In the face of this internal and external troubles, do you say that the Great Xia Kingdom is facing a moment of life and death?"
Zeng Yingjun was also speechless when he heard this, should he say that this Great Xia Kingdom is really unlucky, or is he unlucky? Why didn't he encounter a slightly peaceful era crossing? It seems that he still has less to deal with the imperial court, and he will leave immediately tomorrow morning, Zeng Yingjun secretly calculated.
The two chatted late again, and they didn't really get drunk, mainly because Zeng Yingjun was afraid that the old man would have problems if he drank too much, so he excused himself to rest very late.
The next day, Zeng Yingjun got up, and there were already soldiers ready to be early. After breakfast, Zeng Yingjun said goodbye to Marshal Lin. Marshal Lin took out a letter and said to Zeng Yingjun: "Zeng Shaoxia, if you want to inquire about something, take my letter to Prime Minister Huangpu, he will help you for my sake." ”
Seeing that Zeng Yingjun accepted the letter, Marshal Lin said again: "I have prepared a map for you, a good horse and some entanglements, Zeng Shaoxia must accept it." ”
Zeng Yingjun said gratefully: "In this way, then thank you Marshal." After saying goodbye to Marshal Lin, under the leadership of the soldiers, he saw a tall white horse.
Zeng Yingjun was a little embarrassed to find that ----he had never ridden a horse before!
"What," Zeng Yingjun organized his words, and then said to the soldier, "I'll lead me around the city first, and then ride after I get out of the city gate." ”
The soldier looked at Zeng Yingjun with a strange look in his eyes and led the horse away, and muttered: "This is because Zeng Shaoxia's martial arts are superb, he rushed to the city wall with his own strength, and also captured the general and military advisor." So heroic, can't you ride a horse?"
Zeng Yingjun's ears were amazing, and the soldier's words were heard by him word for word, and his old face suddenly became hot, and he quickened his pace and walked towards the south city gate.
After leaving the city gate and seeing that there was no one, he got on horseback and made a decent "drive!" sound. Who knew that the horse did not give face at all, stood and made a few turns, but did not leave.
Zeng Yingjun was furious and said, "You brute, I can't help you, master?" After speaking, he slapped his palm on the horse's buttocks.
The white horse was in pain, and he raised his leg and galloped. Zeng Yingjun was almost thrown off, but fortunately, he was able to clamp his legs tightly on the horse's back, so he didn't make a fool of himself. Seeing the reins around the horse's neck, Zeng Yingjun grabbed it, and then began to learn to control it.
And so it was, two hours later. Zeng Yingjun finally reluctantly learned to ride a horse and began to ride wildly.
Seeing that it was already noon, Zeng Yingjun did not encounter any villages and towns. I was thinking that I was looking for a place to rest in the woods next to me, but suddenly I noticed a house a few miles in front of me.
How could there be a house in this wilderness? Zeng Yingjun was curious and decided to go over and have a look.
Soon when he arrived near the house, Zeng Yingjun saw a white flag waving with the word 'wine' embroidered on it. Zeng Yingjun was overjoyed, but he didn't expect that there would be a tavern in this wilderness. Zeng Yingjun remembered that Marshal Lin had wrapped it around him, and took out the bag to see that there were ten ingots of silver. Zeng Yingjun didn't know how to convert the coins in this world, but he probably thought it should be enough for him to spend a while.
So, Zeng Yingjun dismounted, and then led the horse to the door of the tavern. A man who looked like a little second greeted him inside, and said enthusiastically: "This guest officer, please come inside." After speaking, he took Zeng Yingjun's horse, tied it to a wooden post next to the tavern, added forage, and then entered the door and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
Zeng Yingjun learned from the heroic appearance he saw on TV and said: "If you have any good wine and good food, just serve it!"
"Okay!" Xiao Er agreed, and went into the back room, it should be the kitchen, Zeng Yingjun thought.
Soon, the food and drinks were served. Zeng Yingjun looked at it, and there were actually seven or eight dishes. In this remote place, this is also a rare one.
Zeng Yingjun was eating, and suddenly heard movement outside, it should be someone coming. Listening to the sound, there are still a lot of people. Zeng Yingjun looked out of the door, and sure enough, he saw dozens of people, driving the carriage over.
