Shu Chen

Chapter 39
In ten days, after tossing and turning.

Before the sky turned white, Zheng Pu, dressed in official uniform, arrived at the prime minister's residence.

After walking slowly into the interior and finishing the order, he sat quietly in his own house, waiting for the arrival of Shangguan Ma Zhong and arranging specific affairs.

Just waited for nearly an hour, but Ma Zhong still disappeared.

Moreover, the last time I sat and watched Ma Zhong's office, there should have been many low-ranking generals, commanders, and false assistants waiting in front of the office.Today, it is the only soldier who is on duty with a sword and a halberd.

Zheng Pu was impatient, and felt that the scene was bizarre, so he walked out of the office, looked for the soldier and asked, "Has the time of this halberd-wielder, Dudu Ma's visit to the office been changed recently?"

Hearing this, the armored soldier cocked his neck, and said aloud with a slight dissatisfaction, "Back to Zheng Shuzuo, Ma Dudu is strictly self-disciplined! And he is bound by military law, the time of the bureau has never changed! Today is not here, but three days ago. , went out on the orders of the Prime Minister."

"The Governor Ma is not in the Prime Minister's residence?!"

Unable to help, Zheng Pu's eyes widened slightly, and he was surprised.

"Well, not here. I don't know the exact reason for Dudu Ma's going out. However, he warned me before leaving. Now the superintendent's office is temporarily controlled by the sentence recorded. inquiry."

Uh.
As soon as he heard it, Zheng Pu was dumbfounded.

The armored soldier in front of him, who has been here since the early morning, watched him come to the office and waited for so long, but he did not inform him immediately.
Alas, he is truly worthy of this burly body, and even his brain has developed muscles!
"Well, thanks for letting me know."

Nodding slightly, Zheng Puli turned around and strode towards the military camp.

He was afraid that it would be too late to leave, and he couldn't help but feel resentment in his chest.

Perhaps it was because of the military integrity that Jufu's office and the place to sleep were all in the same military tent.

The curtain of the military tent was lifted high to the right with a hook, so that people could see him sitting in front of a case, drawing and sketching without getting close.From time to time, he would bite the pen into his mouth with a frown.

It seems that he wants to vent his grievances on the barrel of the pen.

Quite hilarious.

call.
Seeing this, Zheng Pu exhaled the anger just now.

He waved his hand again, so that the soldier on duty in the front did not need to inform him, he walked in, and said with a smile from the corner of his eyes, "If Xiaoxing wants more ink in his belly, he might as well bite the other end of the pen."

Hearing the sound, Ju Fu raised his head and raised his eyebrows, and when he saw that it was Zheng Pu, he smiled.

He didn't get up to greet him, but just put the pen down, pretending to frown and feign anger, "Hello, Zheng Zijin! As soon as you take up the post, you dare to make jokes! Be careful that I take the post of concurrent military officer and take responsibility for you!"

After all, without waiting for Zheng Pu's reaction, he didn't hold back his laughter.

Immediately, he waved his hand again, "Zijin, sit down and wait for me for a moment."

"Okay, Xiaoxing and busy."

Nodding slightly, Zheng Pu was not polite, took two steps forward and took out the Yihu bed, and sat facing outside the tent.

I saw that outside the tent, the soldiers were still patrolling with Wu as a unit. Many Shi Jiazuo was busy, and everyone looked solemn and walked in a hurry.

Perhaps, such a busy scene is the reason why Bashu has become vibrant again in just two years!
Zheng Pu thought to himself, and lowered his eyes slightly.

After a while, Jufu put the pen down again and called out a false assistant to enter.

After the fake assistant left with a case slip in his hand, he shrugged his shoulders, twisted his neck, and said, "Let Zijin wait for a long time. Well, Zijin knows that the Governor Ma is no longer in the prime minister's residence. Bar?"

"Of course."

Zheng Pu nodded, leaned forward again, and asked, "When Governor Ma is leaving, can you tell Xiaoxing to transfer me?"

"Naturally there is."

Ju Fu got up, stretched out his hand and falsely led his peers to pay the bill, "The Governor knew that Zijin had been coming to the office for the past few days, so he asked me to tell him, and let Zijin go to work with the Lord Hu for a month."

Having said that, after looking around again, he turned his head and lowered his voice, "This is what the Prime Minister conveyed to the Governor."

Ok?
I am subordinate to the subordinate governor, why did I transfer to the main office?

Raising his eyebrows in surprise, Zheng Pu paused slightly before continuing to follow.

He also moved his head closer, lowered his voice and asked, "Xiaoxing, do you know the reason for this?"

But he didn't want to, so Ju Fu immediately glanced sideways and said angrily, "Zijin don't laugh at me. Prime Minister's thoughts, can I safely know evil?"

"Ah, I didn't mean it that way, it was just a momentary desire, so"

Zheng Pu quickly explained aloud, but was interrupted by Yu Fu's wave of his hand.

"No problem, I know what Zijin means."

Immediately, he continued to whisper, "Well, the Governor Ma went to the east of the city to set up a new army camp, prepare clothes, armor, swords, and hoarding of grain and other trivial matters, and after the autumn harvest, the governor will practice martial arts. Within a few months, it is estimated that he will not be able to. Return to the Prime Minister."

Overseer exercises?

Could it be to prepare for the Southern Expedition?

Well, it should be.Counting the time, if the expedition is next year, it will be inevitable to perform martial arts after the harvest this year.

It's just that, ten days ago, didn't he make it clear that the Prime Minister wanted me to practice in the army?Now, why don't you let me go with the army, but go to Zuohu Lord to report things to evil?

In an instant, Zheng Pu's thoughts turned a hundred times, and he pinched his beard and thought.

And Ju Fu, who was walking side by side, saw that he was silent, and couldn't help asking, "Zijin, I'm just thinking, why didn't the Governor take you to Chengdongxie?"

"Ah."

Without concealing his thoughts, Zheng Pu nodded in response, "Presumably Xiaoxing already knew, and the Governor made it clear that he wanted me to accompany the army. That's why I was puzzled."

"Ha, what's so unclear about this?"

Hearing this, Yu Fu's eyebrows were flying, but his voice was still very small, "As soon as Zijin responded, he was asked by the Prime Minister to talk about it until midnight. Who knows what it means to be important? What I am thinking is that the Prime Minister intends to let Zijin go. Jin should get in touch with more affairs first, so that he can help him in the future. After all, if you go to the east of the city with the governor now, it will be all trivial matters, but it will only be more diligent."

Huh, that makes some sense.
Zheng Pu's heart moved slightly, his eyebrows stretched.

Just as he was about to say a few words of modesty, he was snatched up by Yufu.

"Arrived, this is the residence of the Prime Minister Bo De. I will send it here, and Zijin will find it by himself."

"Okay, there is Lao Xiaoxing. If I have time, I will go and talk to you again."

He bowed his hands and thanked him, and when Jufu turned around and left, Zheng Pu adjusted his clothes and walked to the front of the office, "I am the secretary of the book, Zheng Pu, and I have been ordered to come to look for Hu Zhubo, and I have this halberd master to take his place. See you inside."

"Zheng Shuzuo, wait a moment."

The armored soldier on duty nodded lightly and turned to enter.

When he was young, a man nearly eight feet long and about thirty years old strode out.

He has a dignified face, a narrow and straight nose, and two deep and long decree lines. One can tell at a glance that his temperament is upright and self-denying.

Sure enough, he was worthy of being praised by the Prime Minister Zhuge Liang as a critical friend, who could be compared with Cui Jun, Xu Shu and Dong He!
Zheng Pu was slightly stunned, took a step forward, and bowed his hands in salute, "I have seen Hu Zhubo. Next is Zheng Pu, the secretary, who is here on the order of the chief officer, Dudu Ma."
