Chapter 530 The Undercurrent of Nanzheng City
In the second year of Chuping, February [-]th.

noon.

Under the Nanzheng City Gate.

On the suspension bridge over the moat, Xi Zhicai was dressed in a white robe, standing in front of him, clasped his hands together, and waited with peace of mind, while the soldiers of the first battalion of the Yellow Turban Army, led by the school lieutenant Yang Feng, lined up in front of the city gate. .

Tatata! ! !
The sound of horseshoes sounded, and as the sound of horseshoes got closer, a cavalry appeared on the horizontal line of the sky, appearing like lightning, and went straight to the deployment.

"Royal!"

Mu Jing rode his horse and galloped wildly. Before the suspension bridge, he reined in his horse and stopped. He looked at Xi Zhicai who was close at hand, and laughed loudly: "Zhicai, I always regret letting you go to Bashu. I'm afraid that Liu Yan I've locked you down, and now that you've come back fully clothed, I feel much more relieved!"

This is not polite.

Xi Zhicai is his most important counselor, even more so than Shi Huzhao, the governor of the Marquis of the Ming Dynasty. It is impossible to let him enter Bashu. If Liu Yan cannot be stabilized, he will have no chance to enter Hanzhong.

Not to mention taking down the entire Hanzhong.

"Thanks to my lord's blessing, this trip went smoothly!"

Xi Zhicai bowed his hands and saluted.

"No need to be polite!"

Mu Jing jumped off his horse, helped Xi Zhicai up, his eyes swept towards the direction of the city wall, and asked in a low voice: "How is the situation in the city?"

"It's messy!"

Xi Zhicai replied.

"The news that a certain family entered Nanzheng today was released earlier, but in the end you were the only ones who came to welcome someone into the city. It seems that this Nancheng City does not welcome people from such and such, and there are plenty of people there!" Mu Jing raised his mouth. A sneer.

Those who win the hearts of the people win the world.

For Hanzhong, Mujing and Mujun are invaders, which are synonymous with inescapable, so they are not popular. Therefore, knowing that he is about to dominate Hanzhong, few people in Nanzheng City welcome him.

During the war, he couldn't think so much, but now, he has to think about it. It is not so easy to stabilize Hanzhong.

"My lord, this matter needs to be done slowly!"

Xi Zhicai said in a deep voice: "After all, we have only just entered Hanzhong, even if we want to regain the hearts of the people, it will not be at this moment. The Xiliang army has just retreated, and the people in the city are all in good spirits. This matter needs to be discussed in the long run! "

"Furthermore, those people in the city do not welcome the lord. Zhang Lu is in power, the theocracy system, and the way of heavenly masters are above everything else. They are incompatible with the Confucian rule. There are countless people who secretly oppose him!"

"But they still don't know what the lord is thinking, so they are still waiting and watching!"

Hearing this, Mujing's eyes flickered brightly: "Wait and see?"

As he said that, he got on his horse, reined in the horse, and yelled: "Since that's the case, then so-and-so will be open-minded. The certain family is the Marquis of the Ming Dynasty. Today, I want to enter Nanzheng City openly and let them wait and see. enough!"

He took the lead, crossed the suspension bridge and entered the city gate.

"Enter the city!"

The Yellow Turbans were the first to drink.

"Enter the city!"

"Enter the city!"

The main force of the various ministries led by Mu Jing also shouted, and the sound waves overlapped and rushed straight to the nine heavens.

After passing through the city gate, you entered the main road of Nanzheng City. The road is very wide and can accommodate four carriages driving side by side. There are already many people standing on both sides of the street. The people are always curious, stretching their necks one by one. I want to see what kind of person the master of Nanzheng is going to be.

"Is that Lord Minghou?"

"So young!"

"He is Longtu of the Mu Clan. It is rumored that he is the most outstanding young talent in the entire world!"

"Is he the one who defeated Master Shijun and robbed Hanzhong?"

"What kind of ability does this person have!"

"I don't know if he entered Hanzhong, whether he will continue to rely on those Hanzhong gentry, or promote poor scholars. I think I have studied hard for more than ten years, but I have no results. Why don't you give it a try? Maybe you will be hired. Career!"

"..."

Countless people, traffickers, pawns, farmers and scholars, watched Mujing's aura of entering the city, with different attitudes. Some people were purely watching the excitement. For some people, they think it is an opportunity, what's more, there are some celestial masters and Taoists who secretly harbor hatred.

The houses and buildings in Nanzheng City are divided by an avenue in the middle and a horizontal road, and are divided into four areas. The most lively one is the houses in the southwest area, where the county guard's mansion is built. , many old houses of the gentry are also in this area.

Mu Jing didn't enter the Sheriff's Mansion because he wanted to separate the power of Marquis Ming's Mansion from the Sheriff's Mansion, so he couldn't let some people preconceive it. He rode his horse along the main street, enjoying the eyes of the people, Turning the direction, walked west for a while, and directly entered a big house.

This is the family mansion of a Nanzheng squire he expropriated.

Nanzheng Yue family, the patriarch Yue Mang is the captain of Nanzheng City, the Yue family has always been Zhang Lu's direct descendants, the day when Xi Zhicai made progress, they resisted the most fiercely, but they were outnumbered, and Xi Zhicai made a small plan Then he was defeated, Yue's family was ransacked, and all the men were thrown into prison.

This mansion became Mu Jing's temporary residence.

After entering the mansion, the guards began to deploy defenses. After all, the people of Tianshidao and Wudoumijiao had been in Nanzheng for a long time, and they must have been secretly operating Nanzheng for a long time.

The guards guarded the interior, while the perimeter was handed over to the main force of the first battalion of the Yellow Turban Army, and Yang Feng personally took charge of the defense.

In this way, it is considered impenetrable.

After Mu Jing entered the mansion, he turned around and said with a smile: "This courtyard is nice, although it is not as grand as the capital and Nanyang, but it is better than that, so let's rest here for a while now!"

"My lord, you must be exhausted after a long journey. We will leave first and report back tomorrow!"

Xi Zhicai cupped his hands and said.

"Row!"

Mu Jing nodded: "I'm tired too, you all go down, I should also take a bath, and then take a rest, if there is anything, let's discuss it tomorrow!"

At this time, the overall situation has been settled, and he is not afraid of any trouble.

Besides, people like Xi Zhicai are supporting the overall situation, so he is much more relaxed, and he doesn't have to worry about gains and losses. This is the time to take a break.

"promise!"

The generals nodded, and after saluting, they turned and left.

After waiting for the generals to retreat, Mujing ordered Huo Yu to boil a few pots of boiling water, and then he took a refreshing hot bath. During the march and battle, it is a luxury to take a bath. It was even more difficult to take a hot bath, and he felt that the generals were a bit rotten.

After taking a bath, Mu Jing didn't work so diligently to deal with those piles of melodies. He slept comfortably. He hadn't had a good night's sleep since he fought in Hanzhong, so he had to take a good rest anyway. .

……

But Mu Jing was able to sleep peacefully, and even the most amusing people in Nanzheng City could not fall asleep.

In an elegant old house.

Above the door, there are two large gold-lacquered characters: Tang Mansion.

This is the Tang family, one of the Nanzheng noble families.

"Father, my son can't see through this Longtu of the Mu Clan. He dispatched troops and generals to enter the city with such a high profile, and the strength he displayed was not at all watery. Countless people in the city had to admire him. I thought he would take advantage of the victory and pursue it. Light a few fires to secure his position as the Lord of Hanzhong, or come to make an example of others and suppress us, but he is silent, after entering the city, there is no movement at all!"

A middle-aged man, serving in front of a white-haired old man, expressed his doubts.

This middle-aged man is the current head of the Tang family, Tang Ying.

"The more silent he is, the more it explains one thing!"

The old man was very old, holding a cane, kneeling on the bamboo mat, and putting his hands on the small heater to set it off. Although it was warm in the beginning of spring, it was still too cold for old people like them.

"Father, what do you mean?"

Tang Ying asked eagerly.

As a relatively influential family among the gentry, the Tang family will stand in line sooner or later.

"They can't tolerate us!" the old man said quietly.

"No way?"

Tang Ying's eyes widened: "Zhang Lu didn't dare to do anything to us, so it's possible that he still uprooted us!"

"Bo Xu, don't underestimate the courage of this young man!"

The old man opened his eyes, and there was a sharp and unparalleled light in his eyes. He said in a low voice: "He may not be afraid to do things that Zhang Lu dare not do. Looking at the news we have received, this son's record is very impressive. , not to be underestimated!"

"Then how do we deal with it?"

"Our Tang family just needs to not be the first bird!" The old man raised his head, his eyes glanced across the sky, and said faintly: "In Nanzheng City, our family is not the only one who can't sleep peacefully tonight!"

The old man's words did not make sense. This night, in Nanzheng City, there were not a few people who could not sleep through the night, and the few gentry were even more eager to move, and frequently sent out their messengers to scout and other soldiers.

Nanzheng City seems to be caught in an undercurrent...
