Zhang Chengye, who had already been connected to the secret road of the Military Academy of Self-Monitoring, ran out and changed into a water seller's outfit. Suddenly, he knelt down and said his final farewell.
However, when he bowed his head and covered his face while sitting on a waterwheel and walking across the street, he found that in this area where officials, eunuchs, wealthy gentry and gentry gathered, most of Zhumenjiadi had already been affixed with different seals, or The door was left in the cold and the pommel was thin and closed abnormally.
Even if someone came in and out by accident, they were hurrying for fear that people could get a glimpse of the general cramps and tensions; from time to time, I could see the white flags hanging high behind the courtyard wall and the extremely low cry of depression.
In sharp contrast, those high-pitched night patrol sergeants, and those who are respected and dressed as Taoist priests; they often also represent the most powerful Lu Yongzhi under the command of the Taoist Academy in Guangling City. Minions and disciples of birth.
Zhang Chengye even saw with his own eyes how a family whose door was knocked on by a Taoist priest ran away in panic, and how they burst into mourning. However, these people are not the most frightening.
Because in addition to these Daoyuan squads who are acting on the bright side, there are also many idle rogues, prostitutes and unscrupulous youths from the market folks, who are willing to look after all parties for their eyes, eyes and eyeliners.
Therefore, every time a wealthy family suffers from this, it is a carnival feast of this generation to take advantage of the middle. Even the former dignitaries and wealthy families are unavoidable; let alone always be suppressed by the Gao Bohai. It must be a temperamental supervising military institute.
Now when Zhang Chengye thinks back, the reason why Huainan Military Supervision Academy was targeted by this generation is quite ridiculous and absurd, and it seems natural; because his adoptive father, Zhang Tai, started with his predecessors, Huaishuai Li Wei and Liu Ye, and went through three years. Ren Er quite has some personal pockets and wealth.
Not only are there a few other houses and a garden in the city, there are also large tracts of land and water that can generate interest all the time outside the city; as well as the dental offices and cabinets operated in the city's fangs, and even sitting on the ground in the port city to collect money. The line stack.
Not to mention that he, as the emperor on behalf of the emperor, has the authority to proclaim the world and preside over the advancement and tribute. Therefore, under the insatiable appetite of his generation, it is naturally difficult to stay out of the matter.
Moreover, before that, Zhang Chengye had suggested that his adoptive father should give up the money to buy Zhuge Yin, Zhang Shouyi and others around Lu Yongzhi, thinking that he would turn around and talk about things; then, he would turn the tribute in the courtyard to the Jie Ya. Dispose of them together.
However, the adoptive father Zhang Tai was still overly optimistic and misjudged the form. Although he listened to Zhang Chengye's previous idea, he sent someone to Tuo Jipingli's relationship, and arranged Zhuge Yin and Zhang Shouyi separately, just in case;
However, he boasted that he had a close friendship with Gao Bohai, and Xiao Sheng, the judge who had come over by the Transport Division, pretended to be foolish and vague, just unwilling to hand over the roster of tribute. However, he secretly communicated with Ryazan, who controls the power of troops and horses outside the office.
In the words of his adoptive father Zhang Tai, the money in his own pocket cannot be overstated, but the worship left to the Holy Lord cannot be easily moved. It can be preserved for a moment and for a moment, so that he can be worthy of the monarch. En Ronglu.
Moreover, this time the Huainan Army recovered Jiangdong, Zhang Tai also secretly contributed a large amount of money to the Zan army; it was to arrange Zhang Chengye for the position of the Zhenhai Supervisory Military Academy after the incident; however, all of this followed The Southern Expedition was defeated and shattered.
But to make matters worse, after Ryazan suddenly returned to the city, the much fanfare of the liquidation and transshipment department also stabbed the accounts in which Zhang Tai had acted and concealed it.
Before Zhang Chengye went to Huanyuan to make up for it, he heard that Ryazan, who wanted to stir up a turmoil, was turned into a prisoner because of Lu's local methods and imprisoned a large number of subordinates and close people. Wait.
However, what was stabbed out could not be covered up; then Zhang Shouyi sent someone to the door and knocked away a large amount of wealth under the name of interrogation, and then stopped temporarily.
However, before Zhang Tai, who was in pain and was busy becoming a seller, was able to live for several days; yet another accident happened. You Xiaoxiong's army ambassador Yao Guili, and the Yin ambassador's troupe, burned the courtyard where Lu Yongzhi, Zhang Shouyi and others would feast.
As a result, most of the Lu's party feathers died and injured on the spot. Zhang Shouyi jumped off the building and was hacked and killed on the spot; when Zhuge Yin was found in the dark room, he was smoked into confusion; the remaining burned Lu Yongzhi survived.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Lu Yongzhi went crazy in the city afterwards; however, Zhang Tai did not have a good candidate for interrogation and pleading; he was spared because he left the meeting halfway. The judge, Xiao Sheng, was even more concerned about Zhang Tai after the power was held.
If it weren’t for Yunsi’s subordinates, someone risked his death to repay his favor and came forward to give a warning. I’m afraid that even Zhang Chengye himself would not be able to leave. He was thinking about it when he heard the voice of the fellow hospital soldier. Road:
"Langjun, the inner gate of the sub-city has arrived. Please be careful to lower your head... Don't show your face too much..."
Zhang Chengye quickly lowered the bamboo hat on his head from the remonstrance, and then, in the door with the solemn and stern expressions and eyes, he waited in line like years, and there were surprises and no dangers in the guards. After knocking on the siding, I was able to walk out.
It's just that when he raised his head again by pressing the bamboo hat, what he saw from the corner of his eye, was outside the battlements on both sides of the Zicheng gate tower, covered with heads of people of different ages and new like grapes. And some of the faces whose blood had only solidified were the officials or eunuchs of the inner yamen who had drunk with him the day before yesterday and inquired about the news.
Thinking about what happened to his adoptive father Zhang Tai, he couldn't help but feel like he was pricked by a needle; but he kept walking to speed up his departure from this dangerous place of right and wrong. However, he didn't go far, and got bad news at another contact point of Foreign Guo:
"Langjun, the North Gate Gate is out of reach,"
As one of the hidden sons of the Military Supervision Institute in the city, he gave a bitter and helpless warning to:
"The people in Moxie have already occupied and sealed off the eight gates of the outer waters, land and water. The husband of Beijingmen had disappeared, and he couldn't get in touch even if he wanted to contact him..."
"Then we will try to go through the water gate, if the envoy Guo is still in office... Maybe there are still some opportunities..."
However, Zhang Chengye made a decisive decision at this moment.
Soon after, Zhang Chengye, who put on a tattered brown shirt and messed up his hair and painted his face with soot, sat on a small boat full of food waste, and slowly moved towards the west gate.
Here, although there are many Sergeant Moxiedu with green robes and gray hips, watching all those who dared to approach and come and go with gaze; but seeing the old and heavy kitchen waste on the ship, it is still unavoidable. .
In the end, only one Sergeant Moxiedu, who was pushed out of the boss's reluctance, came forward with a group of doormen and stabbed a few times to make sure that no one could hide. During the period, he couldn't wait to hide his face and let him go.
Because this is also an important business outside of Yangzhou City today. Adding water to boil these food wastes and selling them to the refugees who gather outside the city is also a costless business; therefore, the city officials of all gates have Participate in it, and will not deliberately embarrass and obstruct.
"Langjun, where do I go when I wait for the next step..."
Afterwards, he washed his body and clothes in the river again, and took out the baggage and weapons under the boat. The dozen or so servants gathered on the road wet and asked again for instructions:
"Let’s go to the Xinli Guanba first. The Guan Cheng there is Aye’s old man... Maybe we can get a few stage horses to take the place first..."
Zhang Chengye decided to get it while retiring his hair bun.
However, after they trek for more than an hour, they first saw the black smoke rising slowly in the distance; then there were retinues who went out to explore the way, running back with sweat and hurriedly shouting:
"It's not good Lang Jun, the Xinli Pavilion has been surrounded by many refugees, and the outer wall has just been broken and rushed in..."
"Then we will turn south and go to Pingkou Town, where there is also an old ministry in the water station,"
Zhang Chengye took a deep breath and decided again.
"Perhaps we can rent a boat to travel, otherwise we won't be able to walk far in this wild with our legs and feet."
After all, in addition to deliberately avoiding possible threats of chasing soldiers, he actually looks down on all the forces in Huainan today;
Needless to say, Liu Hanhong from Huaixi and Sun Ru from Caizhou. Bi Shiduo, the soldier from the left capital of Gaoyou, was also an undecided leader of the thieves; and the man from Luzhou who now owns Shouzhou Yang Xingmin is just a soldier-born tutu leader.
If possible, he would prefer Yao Guili or Yu Gongchu who went to Chuzhou to join the imperial court. However, since the unscrupulous killing of Lu Yongzhi's Dried Fish Aberdeen City, there is also a rumor that these two are still not to worry.
Therefore, he hopes to find a boat and release it to Hai’an County off the river mouth, and then buy a boat from the local port city to go north, whether it is to go to Pinglu Town, which occupies Qingqi, or Yanhai Jiedu from Yanzhou, or from Xuzhou. It's better for a probation army to stay in Huainan than to stay in Huainan.
Fortunately, after going through the trek and encountering and dispelling more than three groups of refugees, his group arrived at Pingkou Town before dark, which still maintained basic order.
Next, although he could not find the "old ministry", he took out a large amount of copper to clear the way, and under the deterrence of the brawny man with the swordsman, he finally rented a large awning boat from the local water station. Location, heading towards Haian County in the misty sky.
However, on this road he saw at least seven or eight insurgents of different colors and banners looting pedestrians and villages along the coastal roads; among them were the village groups, the town soldiers, and others from Gaoyou. The banner of Hubi Shiduo also came from the united soldiers in Guangling City.
Some of them, under the banner of the Salt Inspection Institute, set up floating boards and beams in the middle of the river, thinking of temporary water barriers to intercept and blackmail passing ships. Zhang Chengye couldn't help but sigh deeply, but he became more determined to leave.
Therefore, it took two full days and stops on this road to arrive outside the low city of Hai'an County. The local area was built by Li Chengshi from the Huainan Jiedu in the first year of the Dali to defend the sea from Chuzhou (now Huaian) Yancheng, entering the Hailing Tomb of Yangzhou, the dike named Changfengyan in 142 in the front extension is also in sight.
At this moment, Zhang Chengye breathed a sigh of relief; because since he stepped ashore, he found that the inner and outer parts of the city are relatively orderly; the suburbs and sub-towns within the field of vision are dilapidated, but at least not Traces of military chaos and excesses.
This also means that under the basic order, there is a greater probability and possibility of buying a ship to go north. He thought about it so secretly in his heart, leaving a storehouse where the average manpower temporarily settled in the downstairs of the city, and then took a few capable veterans into the city to find out about the ship.
Then he just passed through the city gate and walked into the low streets with common buildings; beside Zhang Chengye, there was a veteran from the frontier army, and he suddenly recalled and said:
"Langjun, the situation is wrong..."
"how?"
Zhang Chengye calmly said:
"Those doormen are a bit too strong."
The old man said with a blank expression on his face:
"Furthermore, when we came in, instead of searching for benefits, or taking away some cheap, we smiled with me..."
"understood,.."
Zhang Chengye couldn't help being surprised, but he still chose to believe in the vision and experience of the prison sergeant who had been following his adoptive father for many years and was selected from the veterans of the frontier army.
"Don't look back, let's go out from another door and do the reunion..."
When they bought a large bag of local bean dregs cakes as a cover for their figure and face, they walked out again with thoughts and suspicion; they circled back to the place where they had stopped in the city, and Zhang Chengye was once again caught by another Ming Hu Cong stopped her footsteps:
"Langjun stopped, the people we arranged to wait and see at the entrance of the street are gone... I'm afraid that something has happened in the end of the line..."
Another squire who described as thin and dry took the initiative to ask:
"Lord, please stay out for a while and let me find out. If I haven't returned within a moment, please give up the rest and escort him away quickly..."
"Then I will trouble you..."
Without any extra hesitation and sentimentality, Zhang Chengye turned his hand and turned to the ferry where the boat stopped; however, he soon saw that there was already a small group of people dressed as united soldiers asking what was on the river boat.
Zhang Chengye couldn't help but feel a sudden shock, pretending to have forgotten something and turned away. However, his reaction was somewhat conspicuous among the pedestrians who were washing, and it attracted a little attention.
"This merchant is from Guangling City. I have something to ask you about..."
But a simple-faced "union soldier" stopped them.
Zhang Chengye, whose scalp was numb, couldn't help but stop, and Dui smiled and said:
"Master Jun, please forgive me, my proprietor felt the cold, and his throat was swollen and he couldn't speak up..."
"Then I happen to have a cure for my throat..."
This united soldier was smiling more and more brilliantly, and he saw a dozen soldiers suddenly appeared from him with a wave of his hand, armed with crossbows and crossbow machines.
"Dare to ask you, who is the guardian's commander, Yang Fangshi, or Bi Zuodu?..."
Up to this moment, Zhang Chengye didn't know when his party had already revealed his whereabouts. Just looking at these crossbows and continuous crossbows, it was not something that could be equipped for the training of the districts and counties.
"Yeah. He's actually a nobleman... It is under the command of Chuzhou Gao Cishi..."
However, Zhang Chengye's somewhat feminine voice made the other party's complexion more subtle, and he began to speak with a coveted face.
—I am an accidental dividing line —
And at the same time on the other side of the river.
The so-called "parking and sitting in love for the evening in the maple forest" is not to say that it is a trip to the original nostalgia, just driving a car on the bank of this river, it is also very comfortable with a wide view and a pleasant scenery.
In particular, the remnants of Jiangbei Feng's cigarettes are constantly reflecting, and Jiangnan, which is still sunny and green, is even more suitable.
Only in the oil wall car on the banks of the big river, it was another scene; the woman aliased as "Golden Yaner" was swaying and undulating amidst the rustling sound of small rattles and chains. (End of this chapter)
