Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 467: Meeting the Ruler! (Thanks to a天道買勤a for the eight monthly tickets support～～)
Lu Bu personally boarded the rammed earth vehicle and found that its movement required soldiers to push it.

If it could be modified so that soldiers no longer need to push it, the forward, backward and turning movements could be controlled directly on the carriage.

Then it would really be a real mobile turret!
However, it is difficult to achieve this without sufficient power source.

If I have a chance in the future, I can see if I can make a steam engine...

the other side.

After Zhang Song and Yan Liang made their preparations, they went to Liangzhou together the next day.

The two men passed through Jingzhou and Yizhou, and then together with a dozen soldiers, they disguised themselves as merchants selling Shu brocade and entered Wudu County from Hanzhong.

Wudu County, as the throat into Shu, is mostly mountainous and canyon-like.

Therefore, there are not many county towns in Wudu County, and Xiabiancheng, the seat of government, is the largest one among them.

Zhang Song and Yan Liang disguised themselves as merchants and easily entered the city with a batch of Shu brocade.

Because Lu Bu had spread the news that he would attack Liu Xie soon.

As a border town, Wudu County has strengthened its defenses.

But Zhang Song and Yan Liang only had a dozen people, so naturally they would not attract much attention.

In addition, Hanzhong County and Guanghan County bordering Wudu County, as well as Guanghan's vassal state, have not yet mobilized any troops.

So there is not too much martial law here.

In the largest restaurant in Xiabian City.

Zhang Song and Yan Liang were resting in the same room and discussing their future plans.

Zhang Song lowered his voice and said to Yan Liang:

"General Yan, please rest here. I will go to the city to find out the news about Feng Ji."

Yan Liang asked with some concern:
"Is it okay for you to be alone, sir?"

Zhang Song laughed and said:

"Don't worry, General. I'm not as good as you in killing enemies in battle, but I do have some experience in getting along with people."

Zhang Song said nothing more, opened the door and walked out.

Yan Liang could only lie on the bed and rest to prepare for any accidents that might happen at any time.

After leaving the restaurant, Zhang Song led a horse, took some Shu brocade, and headed towards the mansion where Feng Ji lived.

Soon, he arrived in front of a three-story courtyard. There were two words written on the plaque above the gate:
"Fengfu."

Zhang Song took out a visiting card from his arms and said politely to the two guards guarding the gate:

"I'm honored to meet you two officials. I heard that Lord Feng Jifeng lives here?
"I have a batch of top-quality Shu brocade that I would like to show to Master Feng. I wonder if you two gentlemen could send my visiting card in?"

After saying that, Zhang Song looked around, then took out two silver ingots from his arms and stuffed them into the hands of the two guards.

The two guards looked down at the heavy silver ingots in their hands and smiled at each other.

Obviously, they all thought that this short and sturdy guy in front of them was very capable.

One of them took the visiting card directly from Zhang Song's hand:

"You wait here. But Master Feng is in a bad mood recently. Whether he is willing to see you depends on your luck."

Zhang Song immediately showed a flattering smile:
"Thank you very much, thank you very much, it's been a great effort!"

Fuzhong.

Under a sweet-scented osmanthus tree that had just bloomed, a well-dressed middle-aged man was holding a wine glass with a sad face, wondering what he was thinking.

He was Feng Ji, the counselor whom Yuan Shao once valued highly.

Since Yuan Shao surrendered to Liu Bei, he has been under house arrest in his mansion.

I thought that after changing my master, I would be appreciated by Zhuge Liang or Liu Bei.

However, he did not expect that even a person like Tian Feng could be valued by Zhuge Liang, while he was actually handed over to the imperial court.

Even so, he still held out a glimmer of hope, hoping that he could be reused by the court, which was not bad. However, he did not expect that the young emperor Liu Xie would be lukewarm after meeting him.

He was even sent to such a remote place to assist Yang Feng in guarding Wudu County.

Although this can be considered as a kind of reuse in a sense, he still felt doubtful and unhappy in his heart.

He didn't understand why both Zhuge Liang and Liu Xie looked down on him.

I don’t look shabby, and I haven’t done anything shameful.

Why do they reject themselves so much?

Just as Feng Ji was sighing, the guard suddenly arrived with a visiting card:

"Sir, there is a businessman outside the door who wants to see you."

"merchant?"

Hearing about this humble profession, Feng Ji, who had always been indifferent to those who liked to make money from war, immediately waved his hand:
"No, no! Who are you, a nobody, who is worthy of coming to see this guard?"

The guards were not surprised by Feng Ji's attitude.

But after all, he accepted Zhang Song's money, so he added one more sentence:
"The man outside the door seems to be selling Shu brocade. It's already autumn. Does your Excellency need to buy some new clothes?"

Hearing that the guard dared to speak so much, Feng Ji gave him a cold look and angrily said:
"Are you deaf? Didn't you hear what this guard just said?!"

Hearing Feng Ji's scolding, the guard's face changed, and he hurriedly nodded and bowed in response, then turned around and ran away.

Feng Ji snorted coldly, but after a moment of silence, his expression suddenly changed:
"Wait, Shu Jin... Shu Jin? Could it be someone from the south? Otherwise, why would he come to see me specifically?"

Feng Ji suddenly realized the hint and quickly stood up and chased after the guards.

However, the guards ran too fast, and he, a civil servant, was unable to catch up with them.

Soon, the guard ran back to the door, threw the visiting card back to Zhang Song with a sullen face, and said unhappily:

“You’re unlucky, I was kicked out by Master Feng.

"I think you should come back another day."

Hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in Zhang Song's eyes.

But this trip was not without gain.

At least it was confirmed that Feng Ji lived here, and he was in a bad mood.

And the reason for this bad mood may very well be the key to winning over the other party!

Just as Zhang Song was about to say goodbye and leave, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded in the mansion.

Then, under the surprised gazes of the guards and Zhang Song, a middle-aged man was running quickly towards the door.

When he was about to reach the door, Feng Ji slowed down his pace and coughed twice to the guards who looked surprised, pretending to be calm:

"Well... this guard suddenly remembered that my wife needs to buy some clothes.

"This Shu brocade is the best material in the world, so this guard followed you out."

As he spoke, Feng Ji looked at the short man standing at the door.

I vaguely remembered the number one person in my mind, but I didn't say it directly, I just asked:

"Are you the merchant who sells Shu brocade?"

Zhang Song knew that the man in front of him was his target, and he immediately smiled and replied:

"That's right, I'm Song Zhang, nice to meet you, sir!"

Feng Ji hummed and said deliberately:

"Since you sell Shu brocade, you should be able to tailor clothes to measure the body, right?
"Come in and measure this guard and his family."

Zhang Song was overjoyed. He immediately picked up the pieces of Shu brocade on the horse's back and followed Feng Ji into the courtyard.
