Chapter 211 Strategist

Ever since I agreed to cooperate with Shen Junzheng, I had already made plans to die, and now I no longer hesitated to step into the sedan chair and sit upright.

The sedan moved forward for hundreds of steps and seemed to merge into a convoy. The old woman said that it was Mr. Luo who brought the guards to protect me. I had never heard Mr. Luo's name. He was probably one of Shen Junzheng's men.

The group of people flocked to an unknown place in a mighty manner, and then the sedan was carried onto the ship. As the dusk grew darker, I could barely make out the ship heading in the direction of Suzhou City.

Although I have lived in the south of the Yangtze River for many years, I rarely go out, and the number of night walks is even rarer. The moonlight is like a disk on a spring night, and the fragrance blowing from the water while boating is intoxicating. I can't help but recall the poem "Wind Flowers" I read in my childhood. "Come across the water", at that time, I always felt that a bright future was within reach.

I am a barbarian, but I read Ming people's books and think in Ming people's way. This is really an irony of fate.

There was a burning rage in my chest, and I wanted to fight against the unfair fate and seek dignity and justice. However, I immediately realized that such anger would not help, so I closed my eyes and meditated on the boat, trying my best to think about how to get rid of Shen Junzheng. How to meet Vanilla and the others.

At midnight, the old woman came to ask me to get off the boat, saying that we were going to Suzhou Fucheng. I originally thought that we would go directly north from the canal, but I didn't understand why I had to go into the city. But I had already put my life and death aside, so I calmly disembarked and was still accompanied by the old woman. sedan chair.

Looking up at the sky, it should be around the fourth watch when I entered the city gate. It was far before the time to open the city gate. Mr. Luo greeted me a few times, and the city gate opened in response.

Because it was not yet dawn, all the gates in the Qulu District of Lifang Street were closed by doormen. Luo Guanye called to open the door one by one. After walking for more than half an hour, the sky turned pale, and he saw the sedan chair stopped in front of a majestic building. , I was horrified, what kind of place is this?
The old woman led me in from the corner door, through the long corridor, bypassing a row of main rooms, and came to a monastery under the bamboo shadows with white walls, surrounded by orchid gardens. According to the old woman, this is the Orchid Garden.

As soon as he sat down, a fat and white official came to him surrounded by his entourage, and the servant announced loudly: "Master Lu has arrived."

I looked at the old lady in panic, and she smiled and said, "Mrs. Yan, my lord is Lu Fuzun, the prefect of Suzhou."

So, this is the backyard of the Suzhou government office? I was surprised.

Just as I was about to kneel down and perform the Wanfu Ceremony, Master Lu motioned to my mother to help me, and he said quickly: "Madam, to make a long story short, Mr. Yan and I were old acquaintances, and Mr. Liu, the governor's censor, was my mentor. Please Madam, I am staying as a guest in Lanyuan for a few days. Please do not follow Shen Junzheng to Beijing."

"Master Fu, why did you say this?" Shen Junzheng's conspiracy was somehow discovered by Master Lu, and I was filled with suspicion and fear.

Lu Fuzun paced back and forth and sighed: "I have also heard about Madam's past experiences. This is not the time for gossip. Shen Junzheng asked Madam to follow him to Beijing. He presumably wanted to deal with General Zhenyuan. Although Shen Junzheng is an official of the Ministry of War, His behavior has always been dark. He is the leader of the strategist. He is nothing but profit-seeking. It is not Qingliu's doing. If the wife is ordered by him, I am afraid she will be harmed in the end. So after I learned the news, I took the lead to bring the wife here. ”

I wanted to get rid of Shen Junzheng for a long time, so I nodded and said: "Yes, Mr. Fu Zun, I was originally blackmailed by Shen Junzheng to come to the capital. Since you invited me to stay in Lanyuan, I stayed there shamelessly." Mr. Lu Fu said to me. He was very satisfied with his attitude and treated me very well. He would always take time to chat with me every day and ask me if I had any shortages in daily life. Sometimes he would also briefly talk to me about the affairs of the court.

It turns out that Zhenyuan General Sun Tie has not been stationed in Liaodong for a long time. After he defeated the Nvzhi and sealed Zhenyuan General, he had been deprived of military power and is now living in Nanjing.

I couldn't help but feel something in my heart. Thief Sun was obviously in Nanjing, so why did Shen Junzheng force me to go to Beijing? If Sun Thief loses power, I have Vanilla and the others to help find out his whereabouts, and we may not be able to hit him with one blow and avenge my father.

Thinking of this, I became more diligent in practicing swordsmanship every day. .

Mr. Yan taught me the Eighteen-Stage Sword Technique. He claimed that he was very clever. He saved a wandering Taoist priest from the declining Sword Sect in his early years. The Taoist priest had no repayment and just passed on the sect's secret method to him.

When Mr. Yan was still alive, he praised me for my swordsmanship, which was far superior to his own. Since his death, I have only regretted that no one can help me with my swordsmanship, and I don’t know how I am progressing. I just practice diligently.

I practice swordplay in Lanyuan every day and plant flowers in my spare time. The days fly by quickly and it’s late August.

It was very noisy that night, and somehow the noise from the market reached the backyard of the government office. I had a premonition that something was going to happen, so I didn't dare to fall asleep. He Yi suppressed his sleepiness until late at night, but he still fell into the trap and was fascinated. I fell asleep in a daze, and half asleep I felt that I was on the sedan chair again. I seemed to hear the gurgling water flowing in my ears. Could it be that I was sitting on the boat.

When I came to my senses, I looked around at a loss. It was almost noon, and as the boat was sailing through the waterway, Shen Junzheng poked his head out of the boat window. When he saw me waking up, he walked in and said with a smile on his face, "Madam, we meet again."

I was extremely surprised. Lanyuan where I lived was the backyard of the Suzhou government office. How could Shen Junzheng take me away from the government office?
I looked around, and the surrounding scenery seemed familiar. In front of me seemed to be Ande Bridge. Could it be that the ship had sailed back to Wujiang again? Now parked in Pingwangyi.

Seeing the doubt in my eyes, Shen Junzheng said proudly: "Madam, in order to take you out, I painstakingly made up a good show, but it's a pity that Madam couldn't see it. It's very exciting. Now Mr. Lu is an official of the Suzhou Prefecture. When it’s over, Madam, please feel free to follow me north, we are just grasshoppers on the same rope.”

I remained silent and obeyed. Shen Junzheng took me down the deck. I suddenly saw a man in brown clothes lying on the deck, motionless and lying on his back. I didn't know whether he was dead or passed out.

Shen Junzheng whispered a few instructions to his entourage, who then moved the man in brown clothes into a small sedan on the ship.

I thought Shen Junzheng was going to take me ashore, but I saw the sampan docking and he jumped onto another official ship, so I had no choice but to get on that ship.

As soon as the people got on the boat, the official boat started to move instantly, the oars and oars flew together, and rushed away.
