Chapter 105 The Golden Cone Walk (16)

There are two Fu Longwei sent by Sima Zheng, one is an acquaintance Wang Zhen, and the other is a middle-aged man named Bai who is actually in charge, but he is just a boring gourd. In addition, Qin Bao and Zhang Xing are waiting in the lower reaches of the vortex. Did not fight.And sure enough, in less than half an hour, the regular army, which had already been destroyed, calmly withdrew its troops, and then turned to Huan Shui.

Even Zhang Xing waited until Hu Yan, Li Qingchen and others were in the same group, and it is said that he was reminded by Sima Zheng to come to meet him.

Thinking about it, with Sima Zheng's background, official position, reputation and cultivation, as long as he can grasp the key points of the matter and be thorough and detailed, it is really impossible for problems to arise again.And if he could listen to other people's opinions, have a little bit of humanitarian spirit, and not try to kill... then he could be promoted to Master Qingtian.

And this is also an important reason why Zhang Xing has to admit that there may be room for saving Wei - after all, there are still people like Sima Zheng and Bai Yousi.

In fact, if Bai Yousi hadn't come to look for him that night, Mr. Zhang might have really gone up the mountain to pull the pole.

"Whose harvest is this person?"

Before evening, Zhang Xing and the others calmly turned to Huanshui, preparing to wait for Bai Yousi and other large troops at Jishan... Walking to Jishan where they camped last night, they saw a row of heads hanging in front of the cottage that served as a military camp. Seeing one of them, Zhang Xing couldn't help but sneered and reined in on the spot.

"Is there any explanation?" Hu Yan asked curiously.

"This man's surname is Han, one of the bandit leaders in Mangdang Mountain, and he claims to be a member of General Chen's family. It's thanks to this man that this golden trick can come true." Without waiting for Zhang Xing to say anything, Qin Bao immediately confronted him. "Although he is stupid, he is honest and loyal, but he doesn't want to lose his life and end up hanging his head in public."

"Then Chen Ling is so ruthless?" Li Qingchen came to his senses in an instant, and then he was stunned.

The middle-aged man surnamed Bai and Wang Zhen in Fulongwei could not help looking at each other in horror.

Hu Yan also came to his senses immediately, but quickly shook his head: "Zhang Sanlang, Chen Ling is so ruthless, he has rejected his testimony, and he has a heavy army in his hands. Even if Sima Changjian is here, it is not good to make things worse at this time... You have achieved extraordinary success this time, even if you have the intention, why not wait until we return to the Eastern Capital with the inspector, and then come back to take care of it?"

In the words, the tone of inquiry was actually used.

And Zhang Xing just nodded.

Everyone entered the stronghold in a grand manner, gathered with dozens of people from Fulongwei, and after calmly settled down, they openly participated in the celebration banquet... Besides, Chen Ling is really a character. When Sima Zheng introduced Zhang Xing, his expression did not change, but he came down to greet him in person.

"General Chen, this is Hu Yan and Hu Heishou. This time, he personally led a fake convoy to lure the thieves." Sima Zheng, who had removed his armor and weapons, pointed at Hu Yan first. "It's a great achievement."

"Admiration for a long time!" Chen Ling's face was clear and bright, with a slight smile, and he clasped his hands forcefully, which was the standard posture of a famous general, not like the confused look he had when he met Zhang Xing and others that day.

However, Hu Yan, as one of the few complete insiders, already knew the viciousness and ability of the person in front of him, but he bowed his hand from a distance, neither stepped forward nor said much, and turned directly to sit down.

Chen Ling didn't care at all.

"General Chen, this is Zhang Xing and Zhang Baishou. You should have seen him." Sima Zheng continued pointing to the person behind Hu Yan to introduce him, but his words were a little too much. "It was he who came up with the ingenious plan this time. Together with Jinyi Patroller Qin Bao, he broke into Mangdang Mountain almost alone, annexed a mountain, and then encouraged these Mangdang mountain bandits to cross the river to seize the convoy... The so-called entering the mountain alone, driving A tiger crosses the river to avoid future troubles... I have seen a lot of talents in my life, but in terms of cultural arbitrariness, strategy and benevolence, this person is in the forefront. Don't think that today is just a white ribbon, and in the future he will definitely enter the ranks Nan Ya, who is above us!"

Chen Ling was taken aback for a moment, and then bowed his hands earnestly: "Chen Ling didn't know heroes before, it just makes people laugh!"

Zhang Xing also calmly cupped his hands in return: "Zhang San didn't know General Chen's restraint and prudence before, and he made jokes before."

Chen Ling laughed again: "Even so, there must be some apology..."

As soon as the words were finished, Chen Ling suddenly clapped hands in front of everyone. Immediately afterwards, two maids came up with a tray, which was lined with brocade, and each had a pair of gold cones.

Then, Chen Ling calmly told the story of his father's acquisition of the golden cone that day. After the story, he bowed to Sima Zheng and Zhang Xing respectively: "I entrusted Zhang Baishou to give Bai Xunjian a golden cone...but today, Sima Now that the regular inspection is here, I can't help expressing it, but Zhang Baishou is a hero, I am convinced today, and I can't help expressing... I also ask the two of you to take one and bring it with you, it is also a good talk."

Sima Zheng and Zhang Xing looked at each other, they each calmly took down a pair of gold cones and hung them on their waists...Of course, there was another one in Zhang Xing's arms...and after hanging them up, the three of them were as if nothing had happened. Everyone returned to their seats, Chen Ling was at the top, Sima was sitting at the head of the guest seats, Zhang Xing was only in the middle of the guest seats, but when the banquet started, it was mostly these three people who were drinking and laughing calmly, watching all the insiders Heartbroken.

There is no need to repeat what will happen in the future.

In the early morning of the next day, three thousand soldiers spread out along the east bank of Huanshui, not to mention that after the crushing defeat, there was no movement on Mangdang Mountain, even if some people dared to come here at this time, they would just die in vain.The fleet, which stretched for several miles, was actually not damaged at all, and it slowly arrived at Jishan, and continued to go upstream.Not only that, during the period, Zhang Xing asked Qin Bao to welcome him to the fleet, took some money, silk, food and grass within the range of fire consumption, and gave them to Du Pozhen who was waiting in the downstream of the vortex water, which is also something that must be paid attention to.

As for Chen Ling, facing Sima Zheng who never left for a moment, he just adjusted his position the whole time, without any gesture of non-cooperation, making it impossible to make mistakes at all.

Even, when Zhang Xing and the others followed the fleet and continued northward, he specially sent a boat of special products to Fulongwei and Jinyi's second patrol team... It seemed that it was just because Zhang Xingguan was too young to have Sima's face The son is big, so he didn't send troops.

As time went by, I entered Qiao County on the [-]th and arrived at Chenliu on the [-]th. There was a new Guanqu that went directly to Luokoucang, and at the entrance of the Guanqu, officials from the Eastern Capital took over.

In other words, the task of the Jinyi Patrol Team and Fu Longwei who came to support them was officially completed.

On the [-]th, Fu Longwei and the Jinyi patrol team left Chenliu and galloped across Xingyang to return to the Eastern Capital. Along with them was Shangji County, who had handed over the food and brought with them the one-year criminal name, money and food, and household registration documents of their respective prefectures and counties. Officials... Haruhi's plan is to hand over these things to the corresponding departments before the New Year's Day.

No one dared to be negligent. On the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, when everyone arrived at the east gate of the Eastern Capital City, the officials of Shangji County even left in a hurry with the officials waiting at the east gate.

"Aren't these people too much?"

When Li Qingchen saw these people leave, he exploded on the spot. "If we hadn't broken our hearts for them, they would have been picked up by the people from the Ministry of Punishment long ago. How could they go with the people from the Ministry of Households... don't you know how to say thank you before leaving?"

"It doesn't matter." Hu Yan tried his best to persuade him. "People are also in a hurry, and they come here under pressure."

"That's right." Qian Tang also smiled, as if he wanted to say something, but seeing Fu Longwei here, he stopped smiling.

Seeing this, the other Jinyi patrolling riders thought that Qian Tang was implying that those belongings and cavalry that could not be sent directly to the capital for the time being, but could only be placed in Chen Liubai's Fengtian Zhuangzi, naturally laughed at each other. All gone.

In any case, getting rich this year is a real thing.

However, Zhang Xing and Qin Bao knew that Qian Tang obviously thought of the rumor that Bai Yousi was transferred to Fulongwei, and his heart was not clear enough for a while.

"This trip has been hard work, everyone." On the other side, Bai Yousi finally returned after discussing with Sima Zheng, but he simply ordered the dissolution. "Actually, there are still a lot of things to finish and deal with, but today is thirty, and we must not stop everyone from celebrating the New Year. Everyone can leave at ease and celebrate the New Year properly. Let's talk about it one by one after the year."

Naturally, everyone had nothing to say, and many family patrolmen saluted Bai Yousi in a hurry and said some auspicious words.

Zhang Xing and Qin Bao didn't have any extra thoughts. The two of them worked the hardest. It wasn't until Jishan saw Bai Yousi that they felt relieved and tense. Going back to celebrate the New Year, with the spotted tumor beast under Qin Bao's crotch, I ate a big elbow stewed by Yue Niang.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhang Xing turned around, others were fine, Sima Zheng saw it from a distance, and then he took the initiative to stop: "Zhang Sanlang, how can you go when others go first? Please follow us to the Black Tower first."

Bai Yousi also nodded, and the others looked back, and Hu Yan and others were speechless.

Zhang Xing could only go to the Black Tower with the young dragon Wohuang of Jing'an Terrace... When he got there, he met Cao Lin, the master of Jing'an Terrace, Bai Yousi, Sima Zheng and Zhang Xing. The report naturally concealed some private nonsense. To Jiangdong, it only said that the people had reached the verge of a civil uprising, so they had no choice but to fetch the Jiangdong Eight Families for food; as to Jianghuai, it focused on Chen Ling, Chang The relationship between Whale Gang and Mangdang Mountain and their respective secrets.

Cao Lin was a great master who was in harmony with man and nature, and his emotions and anger easily floated on the outside. When he heard the inside story, he became angry every time... Then he promised to make Chen Ling's life worse than death, and deal with the Long Whale Gang as appropriate.

After the report was over, the three of them came out together, without saying a word, they passed the water pool all the way to the sky street in the north of Chengfufang where Zhang Xing lived, and only then did they speak.

"Both of your homes are in the north, why did you follow me to the south?" Zhang Xing suddenly stopped and asked.

"Because I want to hear your words." Bai Yousi smiled while hugging his sword. "I've come back from the wonderful plan in Mangdang Mountain, and I haven't seen any long speeches from you..."

"After I came back, I was full of Chen Ling's people on Mount Ji, so I didn't dare to make a long speech, and then I was so exhausted that I didn't have the strength to speak." Zhang Xingyi said. "Besides, the two are national talents, why do you have to listen to me?"

"Zhang Xing, didn't you realize that after the Mangdang Mountain incident, everyone obeyed you?" Bai Yousi looked at Zhang Xing, sighed, and then spoke seriously. "In the past, Li Qingchen relied on his family background in front of you, and Qian Tang relied on his integrity in front of you, but now they all take the initiative to retreat three points... Even Qin Bao, although you have a good relationship, there is obviously a trace of awe towards you; and Hu Big brother, even if your cultivation base and qualifications are far ahead of you, you obviously have lost your mind in front of you! As for Xiao Zhou, you have been too tired these days, you haven't seen clearly, and you almost have respect for you."

"So Zhang Sanlang, please don't underestimate yourself." Sima Zheng also earnestly asked for advice. "What I said to Chen Ling that day was definitely not talking about the scene, but a clear warning to him that he offended someone who shouldn't be offended... We want to hear your opinion about Cao Zhongcheng's words just now."

Zhang Xing was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Cao Zhongcheng promised to deal with Chen Ling and the Giant Whale Gang. One will clean up Jianghuai, and the other will at least keep me from breaking my trust. I really think it's a good thing...

"However, Sima Changjian clearly stated that the source of the bandits in Mangdang Mountain was Yang Shen's failure to rescue them after the rebellion; Bai Xunjian clearly stated the matter of Jiangdong's three-acre land and ten-acre tax, but he just frowned and didn't make any comments. , It really disappointed me... I probably know his difficulties. His greatest reliance in front of His Majesty is the late emperor, and the origin of these two things is actually the late emperor.

"Besides, the court is like a boat, and the common people are like water. Water can carry a boat and overturn it. Zhong Cheng's handling of it is because he understands that he only regards water plants and hidden reefs as the danger of the boat, but he still regards water as nothing. If this continues, One day, there will be waves in the water... This makes me feel that what I do is not very meaningful."

Sima Zheng and Bai Yousi had their own thoughts, but both remained silent.

Zhang Xing just cupped his hands and led the horse into the gate.

Back home, Yueniang was cooking, and Qin Bao had already returned, but was waiting on his BMW... Zhang Xing came in, tied up the yellow puma, went to the house and threw the golden awl and compass together, and then searched for it again. A copy of "The Heroine Li Yue's Biography" came, and I sat in the courtyard to read it, and it didn't have the touching state of returning from a long distance for the New Year.

"The price of firewood has increased again!" Yueniang suddenly said in the kitchen.

"Oh." Zhang Xing responded symbolically.

"It's still about the peasants... The new peasants wanted to go home for the New Year, so they ran away again, and hundreds of them were killed... But the peasants kept changing, and there were too many people, so the price of firewood outside the city increased."

"Ah."

"Li Ding asked me to tell you...he understands your book, and came to you in the first month of the month."

"it is good."

"The Bai family came to the house the day before yesterday and gave some things. They said that every family in the second patrol group had them... I didn't refuse."

"understood."

"Second brother Qin said that he wanted to eat fried noodles from Dongjing, but there were not so many noodles at home, so I asked me to wrap them in crispy meat, because I was going to make fried crispy meat in the afternoon... I used to fry it at home during the Chinese New Year... ...I have to buy noodles...what do you want to eat?"

"..."

"Don't you want to eat?" Yue Niang poked her head out and looked curiously. She hadn't seen her for several months, but she still looked a little taller.

"I'm going to buy noodles and meat." Zhang Xing suddenly stood up and said loudly. "I want to eat fried crispy meat, and I also want to eat fried noodles...fry it three barrels!"

PS: I'm sorry everyone, I was too greedy to watch the opening ceremony, and I only have this chapter today... I wanted to ask for leave... But I shouldn't make this opening without authorization.
