Ming Zuo

Chapter 468

"The rebellion in Dongjiang Town is raging right now, and our army is fighting fiercely with it in order to put down the rebellion. The war-torn land is full of dangers, so we should isolate ourselves."

The question was polite, and the leading general also responded politely.

That person understood, and he knew quite a lot.

"But we planned to go to Linqing. I didn't hear that there is also a war there."

As soon as he heard the word "Linqing", the officer's expression changed.

"Where do you come from? Why do you want to go to Linqing? Also, since you are going to Linqing, why don't you walk along the canal from Dezhou and come here?"

From Dezhou to Linqing is the way Zuo Menggeng and Xu Ruolin came back.

Either take a boat down the canal to reach Linqing directly; if you take the official road, you have to go southwest and pass through Wucheng.

But the route taken by this group of people has already deviated from the direction.

When you arrive in Pingyuan County, you have to turn back to the southwest again, passing through En County and Xiajin, before you can reach Linqing.

He kept talking here, but the old man in fox fur at the back couldn't stand it any longer, he drove his horse forward and didn't come down, his tone was quite arrogant.

"Why is it taking so long? Just a few Qiu Ba, give me some money, let's get rid of it."

The servant's scalp was numb, and he said to himself, master, you can really make trouble.

Sure enough, the officer in front of him looked wrong.

"Say, why did you come here?"

The official road here in the plain can go south to Jinan, or turn east to Qingzhou and Denglai, but it is not the way to Linqing.

That fox fur master was angry.

"You are really domineering, don't you know the upper and lower ranks?"

Unexpectedly, the officer was not angry, but looked strange.With squinted eyes, he kept staring at Master Huqiu's waistband.

Because there is a piece of exquisite jade pendant hanging there.

One can tell that it is precious Kunshan jade, and it has been carved by skillful craftsmen. Not to mention extraordinary products, it may be unique in the world.

The officer looked carefully and waved his hand violently.

The originally quiet soldiers suddenly became agitated, and after a burst of footsteps, they surrounded the group of them.

Not only that, all the muzzles pointed towards them, full of murderous aura, even worse.

"Mr. Jun, calm down, calm down, hehe... My master was drunk and didn't intend to collide..."

The officer stopped listening, and pointed to the jade pendant on the waist of the fox fur master, and asked, "Where did this thing come from?"

Master Huqiu misunderstood, thinking that this group of Qiuba was looking for money and wanted to snatch it.

Thinking that he loves money like his life all his life, any treasure can only go into his hands, when did he lose it?
"Hmph, this is a family heirloom of my master. You, Qiu Ba, look like nothing but a small banner, and you dare to covet it? Do you know who this master is? I'm afraid that you will be famous and lose your life."

The officer ordered directly.

"Take them down."

The soldiers immediately swarmed up and rushed straight at the fox fur master.

Unexpectedly, this group of Qiu Ba was so domineering, they didn't ask about their identities, and they were not afraid of offending nobles. Master Huqiu couldn't help being dumbfounded, and shouted loudly.

"How dare you? My daughter is a general under Zuo Menggeng's command. If you offend me, you will have nothing to eat."

The actions of the soldiers paused.

The officer looked over suspiciously, faced the panic of the fox-fur master, and warned: "You know us?"

Master Fox Qiu came back to life instantly.

"Are you Zuo Menggeng's soldiers?"

The officer couldn't help being a little more careful.

Hearing him address like this, it seems that he has a very important relationship with Zuo Menggeng.

"I haven't asked you how to address Mr.? What does it have to do with our attendance?"

Master Huqiu became arrogant again, if he hadn't seen the black muzzles of the soldiers' guns, he really wanted to beat them with a whip.

He didn't know that if he really did that, even if he knew that he recognized Zuo Menggeng, these soldiers would shoot.

The rules of the new army have long been nailed down.

As long as they are soldiers of the new army, no one should be humiliated.

Being invincible all the time, coupled with being loved and loved, has long cultivated the spirit of pride in the new army. How can we allow others to trample on it?

"I'm a family friend with your general. I heard that my daughter, Wang Siyi, is in your army. Is there something wrong?"

The officer smiled.

"It turned out to be the father of Captain Wang, nice to meet you."

No one knows that Wang Siyi is the number one general in the new army.Although this officer has no affiliation with Wang Siyi, he is also somewhat close.

This fox fur master is Wang Siyi's father, Wang Shizhong.

After entering the reign of Chongzhen, because the Ming Dynasty retreated steadily in Liaodong, Wang Shizhong was basically useless.After losing his power, he had to hang around in the capital.

Wang Shizhong conspired for an errand, and he gave up on Xingfu Hadabu. He only cared about money and started a life of extravagance.

Wang Siyi ran to Shandong and joined Zuo Menggeng's army, but he didn't care.

Recently, his corruption has been discovered, and it is estimated that he will eat melons.

Frightened, Wang Shizhong resigned quickly, planning to go to Shandong to find a daughter to avoid the limelight.

Unexpectedly, I encountered a checkpoint of the new army and almost couldn't get in.

Even though he declared himself home, the soldiers did not let him in.After all, it still needs to be verified, and there is another urgent question that has to be raised.

The officer pointed to the jade pendant on Wang Shizhong's waist again, this time explaining it more clearly.

"Mr. Wang, this jade pendant belongs to my housekeeper, can you tell me why it got into your hands?"

"This……"

The officer was right, the jade pendant indeed belonged to the owner.

As for why it fell into Wang Shizhong's hands...

Wang Shizhong scratched his head and pointed to the carriageway behind: "On the way to the south, I came across this lonely carriage on the way. There was a half-dead old man in the carriage. He was seriously injured, but I didn't know it was someone from your family."

The officer said "Ouch", and rushed to the side of the carriage, opened the curtain and saw that it was really a dead soul, and turned his head and shouted.

"Go to the doctor quickly and let the best doctor come over."

The person on the carriage is Zuo Yan.

As the housekeeper of the Zuo Mansion, Zuo Yan often walked around in Linqing City, so many people in the new army knew him.

His jade pendant is an even more conspicuous symbol.

This is also the reason why the officer would explode on the spot when he saw Wang Shizhong wearing it behind his back.

All the efficiency of the new army was very fast. After a while, a larger group of people came running, and the leader should be a local general.

After listening to the officer's narration, he saw that the doctors were treating the unconscious Zuo Yan again, so he walked in front of Wang Shizhong.

"Uncle Wang, my nephew is being polite."

Wang Shizhong was still in fear, but he didn't expect to save an old man on the way, which would lead to such a big battle.

He wasn't telling the truth.

It was indeed Zuo Yan's carriage that he met on the way, and he also saw that the carriage was well decorated and the people in the carriage had a lot of background.

But Wang Shizhong's original idea was to make a good relationship through Zuo Yan.

Now his life is getting more and more difficult, and he doesn't know what to do in the future.So when he saw Zuo Yan's carriage so luxurious, he thought it was some powerful person.

As for the jade pendant, Wang Shizhong was really happy to see Lie Xin, and wanted to collect some interest for saving lives.

And he would go this way because of Zuo Yan.

Zuo Yan was in a daze, after his simple treatment, he finally saved his life.But he was always worried that Zuo Liangyu would come back and make trouble, so he kept muttering that he was going to Denglai.

He didn't know that Zuo Menggeng had returned to Linqing.

The last time Wang Shizhong received a letter from Wang Siyi, Wang Siyi was fighting in Denglai at that time.He thought it was just on the way, so he walked this way.

Coincidentally, I met the new army to set up a check card.

Otherwise, with Zuo Yan's condition, it would be a question of whether he could make it to Denglei.
