Chapter 320 Entering Lu County

Hou Junji had some headaches because of Wen Jie's refusal to drink water. When he changed his mind, he made sure of one thing. If he were Wen Jie, he might have been irritated.Ke Wenjie was still as immobile as a mountain, but he was overly cautious even though he had 5000 troops in his hand. Hou Junji couldn't help but admire that cautiousness.

Although the general did not give him a specific deadline, let him kill Wen Jie within as many days as possible.But Hou Junji did not dare to relax at all, because he had detected Wen Jie's intention of marching so slowly.Killed a different general and captured three thousand elite soldiers.After he crossed the Yellow River, if he killed some more officials, who knows how much his men would increase. The longer the days dragged on, the better it would be for Wen Jie, and Hou Junji wanted to find another opportunity to attack It would be as difficult as reaching the sky.

He tried to anger Wen Jie, even if he didn't chase him out personally, and sent any of the two little girls around him, Hou Junji firmly believed that as long as he killed any one of them, Wen Jie would never be able to stand still again. gas.But it's a pity that Wen Jie couldn't come out, and the two girls couldn't come out either.

After breakfast, the officers and soldiers buried the corpses of the imperial guards who had been killed by Hou Junji and others yesterday, and then began to rectify the troops. It seemed that they were about to go on the road.

Hou Junji tossed his hair angrily, but he still couldn't think of a good solution.He is not a person who has been trained since he was a child. He has no background and can only rely on his own intelligence and ability to adapt to changing situations.But now Wen Jie is acting like a curled up hedgehog, there is nowhere to bite if he wants to bite.The most important thing is that this hedgehog is ridiculously big. If he wanted to, he might swallow the people on his side in one gulp.

He paced back and forth, but couldn't find his way of thinking for a while.

"Let's go first!"

Hou Junji gritted his teeth and said, "Go ahead and wait for them. The county seat is less than seventy miles away. Wen Jie must go to the city to meet the county magistrate. Let's go to the city. The opportunities in the city are better than those in the wilderness." There are many large ones."

More than a hundred secret spies were ordered to destroy the whereabouts and then rushed to the front county.During the seventy-mile journey, he would pass through several dilapidated villages, but he had absolutely no chance of attacking.Hou Junji thought about it, and divided his secret agents into two teams. The first team continued to provoke Wen Jie's team, making Wen Jie think that he hadn't entered the county in advance.He led another team and entered the small county with the fastest speed ahead of Wen Jie's troops.

The small town of Lu County in Jibei County is not far from the south bank of the Yellow River.After leaving Lu County, if you walk northward for less than a day, you will see the turbulent Yellow River.

It is said that Wang Lingzhi, the county magistrate of Lu County, was also from a royal family in the south of the Yangtze River, and he didn't know if he had no money to send gifts to the court. Since the reign name of Sui was changed to Daye, he has been the county magistrate in Lu County.As far as Wang Chuntang, the governor of Jibei County, is still his junior, it's just that he has been on the rise since he became an official. He served as a county magistrate for a year, and then was transferred to the Ministry of Rites. What's wrong, he was put down directly and served as the governor of Jibei County.

The key point is that Wang Lingzhi didn't know, and he didn't want to know. He felt that he had been a county magistrate for 11 years. Although he was not promoted, he was not dismissed either.

Because of the heavy rain, he didn't know that the person most trusted by His Majesty the Emperor was stationed about seventy miles south of Lu County.If he knew, he would have taken all the people in the county government and the squires to meet him.In fact, this Wang Lingzhi is also a person with some abilities, otherwise it would be a miracle that Lu County would still be able to exist in peace and stability if Wang Bo ran rampant in Jibei County.

After the weather cleared up, Wang Lingzhi's mood also improved.

Nothing in the small town would bother him. All the people in the city add up to only three to four thousand people, and some of them are the family members of the rebels of the Jinbei Army. He can't control it if he wants to.This is also the reason why Lu County has never been conquered by the Jibei Army. Wang Lingzhi's ability is to die and let nature take its course.

Waking up early in the morning, Wang Lingzhi did a set of punches in the courtyard. Although it was a beautiful punch and embroidered legs, it also had the effect of strengthening the body.Sweating all over his body, he felt his whole body become transparent.Wang Lingzhi comfortably took a hot bath under the service of the maid and concubine. While enjoying it, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door outside.

"The county lord...the county lord...you go to the county government quickly."

"What's up!"

Wang Lingzhi asked angrily: "Could it be that Zhi Shilang sent people to beg for grain again? Tell him no, the grain in the granary is not enough to last for two months. If he wants it, his family members of the Jibei Army in the city will also ask for it." Go hungry!"

"It's not someone sent by Tomoshiro... it's someone from the palace."

"The palace... inside the palace?!"

Wang Lingzhi stood up abruptly from the bathtub, he didn't care about being rude.

"Who?"

"Master Weiwen, the capital of the Longting Guard, led his army north to Yanmen Pass and passed through our Lu County, saying that he wanted to visit him!"

"what!"

Wang Lingzhi trembled violently, and his expression changed in fright.

"Wen...Wen Yidao..."

……

……

When Wang Lingzhi put on his official uniform and hurried to the county government office, the people sent by Wei Wenjie, the captain of the Longting Guard, had already been waiting for him in the living room for a long time.Sitting in the living room drinking tea was a young man with a gloomy complexion, about 20 years old, with small eyes but very energetic, a nose as strong as an eagle's beak, wearing a blue brocade coat with Embroidered the pattern of flowing clouds.Wang Lingzhi had seen this kind of clothes when he was in the capital 11 years ago, and it was the unique costume of Long Tingwei, the most powerful guard in the palace.

Although I only saw it once, Wang Lingzhi still remembers it deeply.

Before he took office that day, he thanked him in the Golden Palace. The scene of those mighty Longting guards who were on duty in the Golden Palace standing in awe, he still vividly recalls the scene.Especially, the handsome and eerie eunuch standing next to the emperor, he will never forget it after just one glance.The man's eyes were too gloomy and cold, just looking at it felt like it was branded in his heart.

Later, he specifically inquired, and that person was Wei Wenjie, the captain of the Longting Guard who grew up with His Majesty.Although he is an eunuch, he has won the trust of His Majesty, and the emperor personally gave him a name, a knife.

Seeing Wang Lingzhi's arrival, the young Longting guard brigade did not even stand up, but still sat firmly on the chair, sipping some inexpensive tea, with his head down, blowing on the hot air.

"May I ask who this adult is?"

After entering the door, Wang Lingzhi looked at the brigade and asked cautiously.Although in terms of official position, he is a county magistrate from the seventh rank, he has more status than a brigade who is not in the rank, but that person is from the palace, and he is the emperor's most trusted guard, Long Tingwei. Lu Sui, who knows which descendant of a wealthy family he is from?If he was born in a family, he would be born with fame, so Wang Lingzhi spoke with a bit of politeness, and even a bit of humility.

"You are the magistrate of Lu County?"

The brigade led a casual glance at Wang Lingzhi, then stood up and said with a straight face: "Master Duwei is almost twenty miles away, and he will enter the city soon. Since you are the magistrate of this county, go prepare now." In a moment, Lord Captain ordered that the county king need not go out to meet him. Lord Captain is coming to Laodun from afar, and you prepare a place to live. Also, Lord Captain is very quiet, so the arranged place should not be too noisy."

After finishing speaking, the school lieutenant was about to leave, and the dozen or so brocade-clothed guards who came with him followed behind him, without even looking at Wang Lingzhi.

Wang Lingzhi sighed, thinking that no one from the capital knew the rules.Each one's eyes are higher than the top, but they are just a group of guards, and each of them pretends to be a second- and third-rank official of the imperial court.

"What? What is the county magistrate waiting for?"

Seeing Wang Lingzhi standing there hesitantly, the brigade led a trace of impatience and disgust.

"Excuse me, my lord, where are you going?"

Although Wang Lingzhi was unhappy, he still spoke politely.

"Didn't I just say that I asked you to arrange a quiet place for the captain to rest, didn't you hear that? Naturally, I have to see the place where the captain wants to live. You choose the place. As for The security guards don't need to worry about the county magistrate."

……

……

After much deliberation, Wang Lingzhi still didn't dare to choose Wen Jie's place to live in the post station. He vacated the place where he lived in the county government office, and then ordered someone to clean it thoroughly, and replaced it with brand new bedding, even the curtains. got a new one.While tidying up, the Longting guards stood aside with their horizontal knives in their hands, and the maids and servants seemed a little uncomfortable being stared at by the cold eyes.

"My lord, may I have your name?"

Wang Lingzhi smiled, walked up to the brigade and asked politely.He naturally held the brigade's hand, and then naturally stuffed a bag of silver into the brigade's hand.

Weighing the weight of the silver, the brigade's expression softened a bit.It's just that the smile still looks a little fake, but it's already much prettier than before.From the skillful gestures with which he weighed the bag of silver, Wang Lingzhi could deduce that this person was an insatiable fellow.From Jiangdu to Lu County, I don't know how much money I collected along the way.

"My surname is Zhou, and Zhou knows his fate."

The school lieutenant smiled and said: "The county gentleman has a heart."

Wang Lingzhi hurriedly said politely: "Where is it, by the way, Mr. Zhou, when will Mr. Captain enter the city?"

Zhou Zhiming said: "After the county lord makes arrangements, I will send someone back to report to the captain. It is estimated that the captain is resting twenty miles outside the city. It takes an hour to go back and forth."

"In that case, I will personally meet
