Chapter 530: The Mansion

When I was in Ningxia before, although he had heard about Liu Jin's assassination, he also found out that Ningxia was under martial law.

But after all, he had never actually encountered an assassin, so he couldn't feel the oppressive atmosphere of such assassinations.

When he arrived at this grassland, he felt it, and deeply felt the doubts of these unfamiliar faces of the herdsmen of this grassland.

At that moment, Zilong didn't have the heart to walk slowly, urging the caravan to hurry as soon as possible and arrive at the Tumochuan camp as soon as possible. About three days later, he led the caravan and finally arrived at the Tumochuan camp.

From a distance, the Tumochuan camp, which used to be like a military camp, has disappeared at this time.

Instead, it was a small town with a rudimentary structure of brick and stone.

Looking at this small town, Zilong and Wan'er were both surprised and couldn't help but ask the leader of the caravan.

I don't want this leader to reply quite surprised, saying that when he came last year, it was just a construction site, and he didn't want to build it in one winter.

Zilong was also quite proud when he heard this, and he was worried that the burden on the herdsmen of building a town of this scale on the grassland would be too heavy, and he couldn't help but be a little worried in his joyful mood.

In the original Tumochuan camp and the current Tumochuan town, Zilong really didn't find any of Jiang Yunsong's three people, but he ran into the six sons who were overseeing the work here.

These six sons are Jiang Yunsong's cronies and brothers, and their brains are extremely flexible, and they have always been cited by Jiang Yunsong as a think tank.

Even in the secret room under the Heavenly King's Palace, he was one of the three insiders.

At this moment, when the sixth son saw his general, he immediately bent down happily and saluted, and said with great joy: "I have been looking forward to it, and I have finally given my lord a salute!

"No courtesy, no courtesy!" Zilong met Liuzi, but he was near a construction site of a rather grand scale, and in his eyes, this construction site seemed to be building an extremely spacious mansion, but he didn't know what it was for.

Seeing that Liuzi had withstood the knife-like wind in the second half of the Hetao, and there were quite a lot of wrinkles on his face at the moment, Zilong couldn't help but be quite moved in his heart, and immediately helped Liuzi up, and said, "Hard work, Brother Liuzi!"

"It's not hard, it's not hard!" Liuzi smiled heartily and said, "If you want me to say, I still have to thank my lord! If it weren't for you, my lord, these brothers and I would still have to stay on the Black Wind Mountain, living a life of robbing homes and robbing houses, and having a life with no tomorrow! Where can we not only make a career like today, but also be loved by many people!"

These six sons are really smart people, Zilong just said hard, but he guessed Zilong's thoughts, and immediately relieved Zilong's next words with words.

Seeing that Liuzi was speaking sincerely, obviously from the bottom of his heart, Zilong couldn't help but nod his head and said, "Since that's the case, that's good! As long as you don't blame me for being a hands-off shopkeeper and throwing such a mess of Hetao to you, just complain about me in your heart!"

"How come, it's too late for the brothers to be happy!" As if to prove his words, the sixth son called out to the construction personnel on the construction site, "Brothers, are you working hard?"

"It's not hard! Working here, there is meat and wine, but it's much better than staying at home!" replied a man covered in tendon flesh, bare and on the stake.

"Yes! This is a house built for the Kawatao General, no matter how hard it is, we feel that it is worth it! You know, without the General, we are still subject to the bird's spirit of the Heavenly King's faction, where is there such freedom today!" Another low-stature, but quite sturdy man, carrying a stack of green bricks on his back, walked towards the construction site step by step, also replied loudly.

The other people on the construction site also said everything in their hearts, and they were generally talking about the blessings of the Hetao staff general and the Hetao staff general's office, and they also talked about the earth-shaking changes in their lives from before.

These people are gossiping, you say a word, I say a word, and they are happy and enthusiastic.

Wan'er, who was following Zilong, couldn't help but pull Zilong's sleeve, and when Zilong turned around, she smiled at Zilong and said happily: "Zilong, you are really good!"

After receiving the praise of these herdsmen and the praise of his beloved, Zilong was also very happy, nodded, and then looked back at Liuzi.

"Liuzi, why did I just hear someone say that this is to build a mansion for the Hetao Staff?" When Liuzi was happy, Zilong also asked with a flat face.

Fortunately, this sixth son is really a person who is extremely good at observing words and feelings, as soon as Zilong said it, he reacted, suppressed his smile, nodded and said: "Yes, this mansion was sent by the imperial court to investigate, and the drawings and scale were set for us to build!"

"People from the imperial court?" Zilong originally thought that Jiang Yunsong and the others had privately created this Hetao General Mansion for their own sake, but now they were told by the sixth son that the initiator of all this was actually a person from the imperial court.

It's just that when did the imperial court come, who came, how many people, what did they come for, and where are they now? After Zilong heard Liuzi's words, these questions flashed through his mind for the first time.

After all, when Zilong incarnated as Long Mo, on this grassland, there was a game in order to compete for the position of Hetao general.

The final result was that under the signal of King An, the Hetao side cooperated with the Dingguo Gong family of the imperial court to attack and kill the Hetao staff sent by Liu Jin to the wind.

In this way, Liu Jin had no one available, and he knew that he could only send people to death, so he agreed to the request of Xu Guangzuo, the Duke of Dingguo, and made Zilong a general of the Hetao.

Now, Liu Jin has sent assassins to assassinate both Hetao and Ningxia.

At this time, the sixth son told Zilong that the imperial court had also stationed personnel in the Hetao, and instructed the sixth son and others to carry out the construction of the Hetao General's Mansion.

Zilong couldn't help frowning, looked at Liuzi, and then said: "You explain the matter here, and then come with me, I have something to say to you in private!"

"Obey!" When the sixth son heard this, he immediately went to explain his affairs to the other brothers on the construction site, but Zilong also recognized that he was an old brother who came down from Heifeng Village.

After the explanation was completed, the sixth son came to Zilong's side and stood respectfully aside.

After Zilong asked Jiang Yunsong and the others where they were, it was convenient for the six sons to find horses together, and took Wan'er with them to go towards Daqingshan.

After leaving the town, seeing that the population was gradually becoming scarce, Zilong also said many questions just now, and by the way, he also asked about the current chaos in the grassland.

The six sons are naturally loyal to Zilong, but Zilong has questions, and he answers them one by one for Zilong.

First of all, the matter of the personnel stationed by the imperial court, according to the report of the six sons, the imperial court sent two groups of people, one was headed by a eunuch named Gao Rou, who was the supervisor of the Hetao General Mansion.

Another wave, but it is a noble relative who has the title of the Governor's Mansion of the Left Army, and he seems to have a title himself, this person's self-proclaimed name is Yin Tianshu!

The construction drawings of the Hetao General's Mansion and the location of the survey were surveyed by the two of them together, but in the end, it was Gao Rou who urged Jiang Yunsong and Dai Qin to build it.

After Zilong listened, he already knew it in his heart.

This so-called prison army Gao Rou is most likely the person sent by Liu Jin to clamp down on the power of the Hetao.

The Ming Dynasty has always had a tradition of eunuchs supervising the army.

Outside the lonely suspension of this Hetao, since he is already nominally a subordinate of the Ming Dynasty, and he is a future director of the Hetao, it is also a proper duty for the imperial court to send this Gao Rou to supervise the army.

It's just that in the Ming court, most of the eunuchs are from Liu Jin's command, and the place Hetao is really coveted for Liu Jin, so this Gao Rou must be Liu Jin's person.

After thinking about it clearly, Zilong didn't talk to Liuzi again.

Although Liuzi is a confidant, after all, the position has not yet arrived, and Zilong is ready to wait for Jiang Yunsong and others to arrive before talking in detail.

Liuzi is also knowledgeable, and after seeing that Zilong didn't ask, he just followed behind Zilong and Wan'er, riding horses to escort. The horses under the three-seater are really good horses, and they travel 500 miles a day, just waiting for leisure.

Therefore, when we reached the bottom of the black stone cliff, only two hours had passed. Zilong took Wan'er all the way through the Black Stone Pass, and then through the old land of the Heavenly King Sect, and walked all the way towards the Heavenly King Palace where Jiang Yunsong was.

Along the way, Zilong found that the former hometown of the Heavenly King Sect had been built into a military fortress by Jiang Yunsong at this time.

Although many palaces were not abandoned in the past, other houses were transformed into various military facilities by him.

Seeing the teams of Hetao warriors training hard, Zilong was also quite pleased. In this uprising, the Hetao army was really the key force.

Now Zilong took a cursory look, but found that although the equipment of the Hetao warriors was still average, their morale was quite high, which was higher than when they attacked the Tianwang faction, showing Jiang Yunsong's superiority in leading the troops.

At the moment, Zilong has more confidence in this expedition to Ningxia and cooperates with King An of Ningxia to send troops to the capital.

After all, only a strong enough army can defeat the army controlled by Liu Jin, and only by defeating Liu Jin's army can the imperial court be forced to force the empress dowager to give up Liu Jin, and finally achieve the goal of overthrowing Liu Jin and returning the government to a clear state.

Thinking of this, Zilong was still in a somewhat gloomy mood, but he was also a lot better. He also did not disturb these sweaty and hard-working soldiers, bypassing the training ground all the way to prevent these soldiers from discovering themselves.
