Chapter 374 Routine Inspection

After listening to Tang Feng's words, Xiao Yanzhi remained silent, his gaze as light as water.The pinna moved slightly through the curtain and the wind and snow.

"Boom-"

It was the sound of heavy objects falling into the water from the other side of the canal.

The heavy object was extremely small, and seemed to be wrapped in something like an oilcloth, and would be gently thrown into the water by a hand every mile.

A faint sound followed: "Boom—"

Tang Feng was naturally aware of these movements, and because Chi Zheng did it, he was full of curiosity.

It can be seen that his lord has not expressed his position for a long time, but he still whispered: "My lord, do you want your subordinates to go and investigate?"

Just as Xiao Yanzhi was about to say yes, suddenly a gust of wind mixed with snow seeds rushed towards his face, the shadow of the candle in the car flickered and went out silently.At the same time, there was a sound of iron boots kicking from behind.

A familiar tone sounded:
"The left sentry of Shenji Battalion is patrolling here. During the curfew, who is staying here? Get out of the car quickly and perform routine inspections!"

As soon as the man finished speaking, soldiers with torches surrounded him, and several black matchlock muzzles appeared in front of Tang Feng. His heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but slander.

When did the curfew start in Beijing?

What puzzled him even more was that they couldn't see the big "Swallow" on the emblem of the carriage?Or is he so bold that he even dares to stop the driver of Prince Yan's mansion?

But after thinking about it, the riots by the canal had only subsided not long ago, so it wasn't peaceful at all.In the middle of the night, the prince really shouldn't be wandering by the canal.

He didn't plan to play tricks with the people from Shenji Camp.

After all, at this juncture, the soldiers who can still stay in the Shenji Camp can be regarded as the living kings of Hades who are selfless and unrecognized by their relatives.If they were offended, it would be to recruit black people to Yan Wangfu for no reason.

Thinking of this, he raised his hand, took off his waist badge and handed it over, and said in a harmonious voice, "Masters of the army, His Highness King Yan is going to fetch medicine from Lu Tai Physician in the south of the city, passing by here on the way back to the residence."

"His Royal Highness the King of Yan?" The speaker's tone implied surprise, he took the badge from his subordinate and walked closer, "Why didn't you go back to the west of the city after going to the south of the city, instead detoured to the canal in the east of the city?"

"It's very windy and snowy today. On the way back, I saw the brothers from the Shenji Battalion setting up defenses at the south and west gates of the city. His Highness feared that the military situation would be delayed. He learned that the east gate of the city hadn't been fortified, so he went around here."

Tang Feng was afraid that he would not be able to fool the other party, so he deliberately put on a particularly sincere expression.

But it wasn't until he saw the face under the winged phoenix and silver helmet that he breathed a sigh of relief: "Huh? Isn't this General Wei? I, Old Tang! We haven't seen each other for two days, so you don't know each other?"

Seeing that Wei Qi was fully armed and surrounded by a group of soldiers, he did not forget to tease: "Your battle is big enough!"

Wei Qi ignored Tang Feng's beating smile, raised her hand and threw the bronze waist plate engraved with the word "Swallow" at the big square face, then walked to the side of the carriage and greeted Xiao Yanzhi behind the curtain, cupping her fists :

"The general doesn't know, but the person who came was His Highness King Yan. But the emperor's order is hard to violate. Anyone who passes through here needs to be interrogated by the general and others. If there are many offenses, I hope His Highness will forgive him."

"It's okay."

Hearing the reply from the inside of the car, Wei Qi waved his hand lightly, several left guard officers lifted the veil and opened the door of the car to search inside, and the rest of the people also searched the wooden wheels under the car carefully.

After getting a reply that there were no hidden weapons or thieves, Wei Qi asked the rest to retreat, and stayed behind to persuade:
"His Royal Highness Yan Wang has heard that there have been many incidents along the canal recently. Before, a tank boat sank into the canal, and the loss of grain was immeasurable; later, Lord Shen used his power for personal gain and created a riot here. Fortunately, the Holy Spirit decreed to quell it. This place is really a place of right and wrong, the prince should go to Ping'an Street and return home."

"The king knows."

Xiao Yanzhi's answer didn't reveal any emotion, but the clear scent of sweet pine exuded from his body was actually colder than the wind and snow around him.

Seeing this, Wei Qi said no more, said "Respectfully send off the prince", and respectfully lowered the veil for Xiao Yanzhi.

Just turned around, and before Tang Feng could speak, he muttered in a low voice:
"The Holy Majesty has issued multiple imperial edicts today. Lord Shen was sentenced to prison for the epidemic and disaster relief. Even my uncle was transferred to the southwest to lead the army to guard the border. When you see me in the barracks, please be polite to me." Hurry up! Don't say hello outside!"

"It scares you, so what?" Tang Feng didn't take it seriously, but Wei Qi just rolled his eyes in exchange.

But when Yue Chong left Shenji Camp, he could understand Wei Qi's current situation, so he patted him on the shoulder and comforted him:

"If you want me to say you don't need to worry too much. Master Shen didn't follow the right master. If he lost his life, he would not be able to turn around. But Zongbing Yue is different. He is the confidant of the Holy One, and he has to be relied on by the late emperor. Let's go now." Southwest is just going through the motions, the limelight has passed and the natural officer is reinstated."

Seeing that Wei Qi was still unsmiling, he was even more happy to be beaten: "What's more, Feng's family has been in the southwest border for so many years, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, even if Zongbing Yue wants to stay there for a longer time, Feng Xingyu may not agree."

"Old Tang, do you really not know or fake?" Wei Qi curled her lips helplessly when she heard Tang Feng's eloquent talk, "The Holy Majesty has decreed that Feng Xingyu will be promoted to the second-rank Dragon and Tiger General, named An Beihou, and commanded the gods. The five armies of Jiying will return to Beijing soon."

"Feng, Feng Xingyu?" Tang Feng opened his mouth wide in disbelief, then hurriedly turned to look in Xiao Yanzhi's direction.

Unexpectedly, the Feng family, which came here seven years ago because of the downfall of their prince, is now so highly valued by the current holy majesty.

"Then, has your uncle been demoted? No, Feng Xingyu, he is now taking over the Shenji Camp..."

Tang Feng wanted to ask further questions, but was interrupted by a soldier's report:

"General Wei, our people went to the school grounds to get the Hongyi cannons, but the people from Wang Gong Factory said that they only brought [-] cannons. After the brothers stationed in the inner and outer city gates took them, there were no more to send to the canal. up."

"Is the Ministry of War sending someone to coordinate?" Wei Qi was considered calm when things happened, and only whispered something to Tang Feng, and then walked to the school grounds with the soldier.

"The people in the Ministry of War said that only two doors are needed on the left and right, and the number is not large. Just let the people from Wang Gongchang come over and fill up the documents you received immediately, but..."

"But what?"

"I don't know where Wang Gong's factory found three straw bags. Without documents, they refused to pull the cannon barrels. They didn't even obey other workers and craftsmen. The craftsmen of Wang Gong's factory raised their hands and beat them. Now these people are The school grounds are in trouble!"

"Can these people turn against the sky?"

Seeing Wei Qi drifting away, Tang Feng also drove with a whip.

Only this time, the two masters and servants on the carriages and horses were not in the mood to talk.

Feng Xingyu commanded the Shenji Battalion, which made Xiao Yanzhi unexpected.

But it was Wei Qi's last two words that made Tang Feng's expression solemn:
"The people from the left whistle found Chi Zheng, so I brought people to search for King Yan's car."

"Beware of Feng Xingyu."
