I’m Marquis in Great Tang

One night, the next morning.

Golden-bright and dazzling sunlight, scattered in the mountains and forests, makes the ground seem to be paved with golden light.

In the early morning forest, Insect Cry keeps on.

Ma Zhou and Xiangshan and the others set off to continue their journey. If you want to say that you are driving in the mountains, you will also have to suffer from people like Xiangshan, otherwise it is very easy to get lost in the mountains. It’s been more than a day on the road, but as it reaches the end, Ma Zhou and the crowd get tired. Because in the end it was still far away and there was no way out, so everyone was a little impatient.

Ma Zhou is okay. He knows that he is driving in the mountains now and can only believe in Xiangshan.

Because there is no choice.

After another half day of walking, the entire group finally came out of the mountain in the evening of this day, out of the mountain of Sword Sect Pass. In fact, such a time is quite short, that is, Xiangshan is familiar with the mountain road. If you are someone else, if you make a little mistake, it is very likely that something will go wrong, and you will eventually get lost in the mountains without knowing it.

Xiang Shan glanced at the setting sun, he opened the mouth and said: “Sir, shall we stop for a rest and continue on the road, or continue on the road?”

Ma Zhou said solemnly: “We continued on our way and went straight to Pu’an County, the capital of Jian State. We arrived in Pu’an County, learned about the situation in Pu’an County, and then considered dealing with Li Chengqian.

“Yes! “

Xiangshan should go straight down.

The entire group took the trail and left. After one night, the entire group was far away from the Sword Sect Pass. In the daytime, the entire group arrived in the town today. , Settled down at an Inn in the small town, washed a lot, changed clothes, and repurchased horses. The entire group drove south on horseback and started straight to Pu’an County.

From Sword Sect Pass to Pu’an An County, because the entire group hurried the road so fast, it had arrived in less than three days. Even if the road was difficult to walk, it still arrived.

Puan County, as the Jian State Administration.

The town is quite lively.

Jian State is an important northern town in the land of Sichuan, and Pu’an County is the governing place of Jian State. The city is quite tall and strong.

After Ma Zhou arrived in Pu’an County, they entered the city and found an Inn in the city to settle down. Then Ma Zhou instructed the people under his command to arrange a group of guards out and let them go to visit News.

Ma Zhou is waiting for news at the Inn.

At night, the people sent out have returned.

In the room, Ma Zhou and Xiangshan , And the rest of the people gathered together, Ma Zhou looked towards Xiangshan and the others, and said: “According to my arrangement, let’s talk about it. What news did they find? “

A group of guards began to speak, but the ten guards did not find much news. They were just fur news and were of little use. These guards also explained the reason. The reason why they could not find the news, It is because their language is very different from the local area, so it is a bit difficult to inquire about the news.

Ma Zhou’s gaze fell on Xiangshan and asked: “Xiangshan, what have you found? “

Xiang Shan said: “Sir, I found some news. According to your instructions, I inquired into this county. The largest family is Yang Family, and the Patriarch is named Yang Lu. Yang Lu was a great scholar in Jian State, and had never been an official. “

“However, you can’t underestimate Yang Lu, you can’t underestimate Yang Family. County Magistrate in Pu’an County is a member of the Yang Family. Even the largest businessman in Jian State was born in Yang Family. It can be said that Yang Family has penetrated into all aspects in Jian State and is the local tyrant of Jian State. Even Jian State Provincial Governor has something to do with Yang Lu and is Yang Lu鈥檚 d铆sciple. “

Xiang Shan said: “As for the rest of the Great Family, there is nothing to say, they are all suppressed by the Yang Family. If your husband wants to instigate others, he can only start with Yang Family. “

Ma Zhou said: “How is Yang Lu like?” “

Xiang Shan said: “Sir, according to the people of Pu’an County, Yang Lu is a person who is kind and helpful, and quite talented. He even preached and taught industry, using Yang Family鈥檚 wealth to establish an Academy in the Yang Family residence, specializing in preaching and teaching industry, so that people who are talented but unable to read can read and literate and fish leaping over the dragon. gate. Here in Pu’an County, Yang Luqi people have great influence. Even one of his words is more effective than Jian State Provincial Governor. “

Ma Zhou narrowed his eyes and asked, “Is there any bad news about Yang Lu?” “

Xiang Shan shook his head and replied, “Yang Lu was in his early fifties, not good at female sex, and he was not greedy for power. He was preaching and teaching professions and commenting on the classics.” In other respects, I have never heard any negative news. As for the bullying of men and women, let alone. The most important thing is that Yang Family鈥檚 family style is also very good. When people in Pu’an County mention Yang Family, they all give it a thumbs up and praise them all. There has never been the slightest accusation against Yang Family. “

Ma Zhou suddenly frowned and Yang Lu has no desires and desires. This is quite difficult to arrange. In such a situation, Ma Zhou is temporarily unable to determine Yang Lu’s attitude towards Great Tang and Xia Country.

Xiang Shan saw that Ma Zhou did not speak, and he was silent.

After a long time, Ma Zhou relieved, nodded and said: “I already know the situation. Next, I will visit Yang Lu and persuade him to play for my Xia Country. “

Xiang Shan said: “Sir, what if Yang Lu’s heart turns to Great Tang?” “

Ma Zhou said solemnly: “The Great Tang nowadays has been in decline. So don’t worry about this. However, Yang Lu’s more specific situation needs to be inquired again and all investigations must be made. Xiang Shan, tomorrow you will continue to inquire about the news for me, the news involved, these will follow…”

Immediately, Ma Zhou will explain it one after another.

Ma Zhou should try his best Understand Yang Lu’s situation and understand these news clearly, so that Ma Zhou can know it well.

Don’t get confused.

Xiang Shan one after another write it down and the matter is discussed. Everyone went to rest separately.

The next day, early morning.

Ma Zhou, a group of people stayed, and Xiang Shan left the Inn to find out the news again. At the end of the day, Ma Zhou All the arrangements were made clear. Ma Zhou came back in the evening and reported a lot of news to Ma Zhou so that Ma Zhou would know.

After Ma Zhou listened to it, one after another took note. .

I also thought about it in my heart.

Although these news can be inquired, but through the understanding of many news, Ma Zhou can determine that Yang Lu is about Xia Country and Great Tang It鈥檚 reasonable to say that Yang Family has great influence in Pu’an County, and even in Jian State.

But this time Li Chengqian retreated into Jian State territory, Yang Family never arranged for someone I went to greet him and didn鈥檛 fund anything. Even when Li Chengqian publicly solicited food in Jian State, Yang Family did not donate.

At least in this respect, Ma Zhou can judge one or two.

After Ma Zhou asked Xiangshan to retreat, he sat alone in the room.

He wanted to think about his plan to meet Yang Lu.

Tomorrow morning, he will go See Yang Lu and persuade Yang Lu to support Xia Country. Once Yang Lu can stand on the side of Xia Country, then dealing with Li Chengqian at Sword Sect Pass is a matter with no difficulty.
