A fast horse galloped towards Wang Pang and his party. When it was about to reach the crowd, the horseman put on the reins and stopped with a long hiss.Seeing the latest chapter, Zhe Kejun saw this and shouted: "Who is coming in front?"

Immediately, a strong man in his forties folded his fists and asked, "Is this the team that King Zhennan escorted the prince to Dali?"

Zhe Kejun looked him up and down, and felt that this person looked familiar: "Exactly, please make way for the strong man."

Instead, the strong man jumped off his horse: "This general, I am the commander of the guards of the Prime Minister of Dali. Please inform me. I have urgent matters to see Prime Minister Gao and King Zhennan."

Zhe Kejun suddenly remembered that when Wang Pang came to Yongzhou, he hosted a banquet at the palace, and it was this person who came to see Gao Zhisheng that day.He hurriedly ordered the soldiers to report to the king.

Wang Pang and others saw that the team in front had stopped, and were about to send someone to inquire about the reason, when a soldier ran over and explained what happened in front of the team.Wang Pang looked at Napo County not far ahead: "Let him come here!" The soldiers were ordered to go back to report, and after a while they brought back a person.

"This is Ying Darong, the commander of my guards." Gao Zhisheng called Ying Darong to come forward and speak.

Ying Darong walked up to Gao Zhisheng and bowed his hands to salute. Gao Zhisheng pointed to the king beside him and said, "I'll meet King Zhennan soon."

"My servant, Ying Darong, has met King Zhennan."

Wang Pang had heard Gao Zhisheng mention this person earlier, so he hurriedly said: "General Ying excuses me, we are going to Dali via Napo, since you are here, why not go on the road together."

Ying Darong thanked the lord, and then said: "I know that the lord and the Prime Minister are going to pass through this place, so I came here to report that Yang Yizhen's large army is hiding here. I have been investigating for a long time, and as far as I know, the traitor is here. If gathered here, there would be three to 4000 troops, and there are many bandit lairs in Guinong Mountain, Baiyun Mountain, Tongtianling and other places. Moreover, Yang Yizhen's whereabouts are very strange, judging from the regularity of his entry and exit."

Zhao Xu's palms were sweating, thinking that Yang Yizhen had hidden so many people here, this is Song Dynasty's territory, he looked nervously at Wang's side.Wang Pang didn't turn his head back, but he seemed to see what Zhao Xu was thinking. He smiled slightly: "General Lao Ying, but I wonder if Yang Yizhen will be unfavorable to Da Song for a while. Let's wait and see what happens, Brother Gao, time It's getting late, let's go to the city and make plans, please go with the general."

After listening to Wang Pang's order, some soldiers led Ying Darong's horse, and Ying Darong got on his horse and followed Wang Pang's team on the road.

All the way to the west is getting more and more desolate. Wang Pang imagined that the slope might not be dilapidated. When he was in Jingxi last time, the city walls of Jingxi were dilapidated, and there were not many decent houses in the city.The magistrate's yamen looks like a house, so it is estimated that Wang Pang and others have specially decorated it. Even so, there are not a few whole bricks, and even the koan in the magistrate's lobby is mottled and dilapidated.

It is not easy to think about these local officials. Ten years of cold weather, poor official luck, like the county magistrate of Jingxi who worked hard until forty or fifty to survive such a sesame-sized official, and was sent to such a place.Thinking about myself again, I was born with a future doomed. Although it was a bit difficult, it was nothing compared to these people.

"Brother Wang, you said that Yang Yizhen is so powerful, but you don't see that he is not good for Yongzhou. What do you mean? Is there a bigger conspiracy?" Zhao Xu urged the horse a little faster, and followed the king. asked in a low voice.His words interrupted Wang Pang's thoughts: "Oh! This matter is not simple? Yang Yizhen is here to preserve his strength. He still has a deep foundation in Dali. Yongzhou used to be tasteless to Song Dynasty. Do you understand?"

"It's worth asking, it's a pity to discard it and keep it for use!"

"That's right, if Yang Yizhen wins the chicken ribs, he will be flanked from left to right as he said, and you've seen it too, if this place hasn't been well planned for a few years, it's hard to get a good shape."

"Oh!" Zhao Xu groaned, feeling a little uncomfortable. After all, this is the territory of the Song Dynasty, and it has become a chicken rib that even thieves are lazy to snatch; Another chance, let him take this hot potato, compared with those who have seen local officials, Wang Pang is different from them in that Wang Pang came with money, and Wang Pang did say from some angles Still have some rights.

The team stopped again, and this time they had arrived outside Napo County. To Wang Pang's relief, Napo's county town had a towering city wall, the two broken inscriptions on the gate tower were clearly visible, and there were soldiers guarding the city. , the county magistrate of Napo outside the city gate, along with Li Zheng, who is in charge of the village, and Li Xu, who handles the affairs of the village, are waiting outside the city.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Xu breathed a sigh of relief, at least this is the last county at the junction of Dasong and Dali, more or less like a county.

Napo County Magistrate Wei Linjiang and his party approached the county seat, settled down in their residence, and held a banquet in the government office. Naturally, courteous remarks in the official circle were indispensable.

After drinking for three rounds, Wang Pang asked County Magistrate Wei, "How long has Magistrate Wei been here?"

Wei Lin hurriedly stood up and returned respectfully: "Your official has been here for more than a year."

Wang Pang nodded. When he entered the county today, the situation in Napo County was somewhat beyond his expectation. Not only the city wall was renovated, but the situation inside the city was also orderly.

"Well, I think the city has been well repaired. Presumably Wei Zhixian has done a lot of things since he took office. I will definitely come back when I have a chance in the future, and discuss with Wei Zhixian the matter of governing the county."

What Wang Pang said was not against his will, after all, this was the last county on the border of the Song Dynasty.

Wei Lin, the county magistrate, was about fifty years old, and his fat body made the county magistrate's official uniform look tight on him. He heard Wang Pang say that he just sat down and immediately got up again. His actions made everyone a little worried about his clothes. Workmanship, will it be stretched from the armpit at any time.With a smile on his face, his eyes were narrowed and he hurriedly said: "Thanks to the prince, the prince, Wei has nothing to do. General Nan has taken special care of this place. I just put my heart into it. And fortunately, in the county There is a big family who donated some money to sponsor the county, and that's why the two of you are what you see today."

"Oh?" Wang Bang wondered, what kind of big family would take a fancy to such a frontier place.Even Zhao Xu shook his head strangely.

"Then what does your county rely on for maintenance? What about the people's livelihood?" Wang Pang asked with concern.

When Wang Pang questioned, County Magistrate Wei wanted to bow again. This problem made Wang Pang feel very uncomfortable, especially Wei Lin's smiling face made Wang Pang think of some extremely flattering people. He waved his hand: "Sit down and answer. That's it."

"Thank you, my lord, there is nothing else in our county, but there are so many mountains, so many trees, and herbs. Some Cochin, Dali merchants often come and go, and they will buy herbs. In the past, people used to pick herbs and cut trees for a living. Isn't this The big family came and recruited some people to go into the mountains to dig rocks, and the people finally had no worries about their livelihood."

Wang Pang thought in his heart that only mining would dig stones, and mining is not about making iron and steel. It seems that this person's financial resources are not something ordinary wealthy people can do.Seeing that Zhao Xu was frowning and looking at him suspiciously, Wang Pang smiled slightly.Hopefully, Welling wasn't talking about the same person he was thinking about.

In front of Gao Zhisheng, Wang Pang stopped asking, and saw that the county magistrate called a singing girl to entertain the banquet. Although her level was far worse than that of Lin Xiuxiu in Yongzhou, let alone the singing girl in the capital, the process was ostentatious. But it also looks the same.

During the banquet, a man who looked like a master walked up to Wei Lin and whispered a few words in his ear. Wei Lin showed embarrassment, and the two murmured for a while. All this was seen by Wang Pang. Wang Pang had to raise his vigilance.

The banquet dispersed, and everyone went back to the residence that the county magistrate had settled down behind the government office. Wang Pang ordered Zhe Kejun and others to guard carefully. For some reason, he always felt that the situation in Napo County was a bit strange.

After everything was settled, Wang Pang was still worried. He walked out of the room and looked around the courtyard. The lights in Zhao Xu's room were already dark. It seemed that the prince had rested after working hard all the way.After all, Zhao Xu lived in the deep palace for a long time, so he was not as strong as Wang Pang and others.Walking through the courtyard where the guards are located is where Gao Zhisheng sleeps.Wang Pang walked to the gate of the courtyard, and saw that the light in Gao Zhisheng's room was still on, and two figures were sitting in the room talking about something.

Just as Wang Pang was about to turn around, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. There seemed to be something on the roof of Gao Zhisheng's room.By the moonlight, it looked vaguely like a figure, hanging upside down from the eaves to look into the room.

"How courageous!" Wang Pang yelled, and the shadow on the roof disappeared in a whoosh. Gao Zhisheng obviously heard the movement in the room, and he blew out the candle first with a puff.When he reached the door and looked through the crack, Wang Pang was standing in the yard under the moonlight, looking towards the roof of his room.

Zhe Kejun and Zhang Ping heard the sound and followed: "My lord, what's the matter?!"

"Oh! I came out for a walk, and I just saw someone on the roof. By the way, why is there no guard at Gao Guoxiang's side?"

Hearing Wang Pang's words, Gao Zhisheng opened the door: "My dear brother, what's the matter here?" Ying Darong followed Gao Zhisheng and came out.

"Just now I saw someone in the room. Where are the guards in your courtyard?" Wang asked, looking around.

Gao Zhisheng also seemed to notice something was wrong, he walked quickly to the side room, opened the door, and saw that Yan'er Huan'er had been tapped and fell down in the room, and four other guards were also bound hands and feet. In this room.

"I'll go and have a look!" Ying Darong said, performed Qinggong and tiptoed onto the wall, running towards the direction of Wang Pang's finger. [

"Zhang Ping! You follow!" Wang Pang ordered, and then said to Zhe Kejun: "All hands are ready to look after the prince." Zhang Ping Zhe Kejun turned and left.

"Brother Gao, I think you should go to my courtyard tonight."

Gao Zhisheng nodded, and ordered Yan'er Huan'er, who had been untied, to tidy up, and then he said to Wang Pang, "My dear brother, I was talking about Dali with Ying Darong just now. Napo seems to be a troublesome place. I guess this is Yang Yizhen's trick."

Wang Pang hummed, turned around and said to the guards behind him. "Come on, go and bring me the county magistrate!"
