At the end of the day, the rain stopped, the sky suddenly broke, and the sad clouds disappeared.

On Guan Street, a team of ox carts headed north to the Gen Mountain Gate, and the soldiers escorted were laughing and cheering, as if it was the Chinese New Year.

"Boss, this newly appointed governor is really good. Keep your word!"

"You can't say anything, I thought that Lord Zhang was so generous. Not only did he give food, but he also bought wine and meat for us!"

"Hurry up, I'm so greedy. Have I seen meat and fish in almost a year?"

"Tell me, this Governor, one word, me!"

Several soldiers talked happily, their steps briskly.

Following the grain transport convoy were Zhang Yinli and Zhang Huangyan. They rode on horseback, and behind them was a convoy transporting wine and meat. These were the silver paid by Zhang Yinli from the prefect's office to reward the army. He thought that he would appease Fang Jian anyway, so that Fang Jian could just get it in one step, without playing with the silence, so that Fang Jian could do his best in the upcoming war.

As for military pay, he could not afford it, so he could only wait for the governor and the governor's yamen to find a way.

It was clear that people began to take to the streets. Soon, the prosperous scene of the past was restored to the official street. The peddlers and vendors went to work one after another, not thinking that the war was coming. Zhang Huangyan rode on the horse and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. In any case, the enthusiasm of the people's lives is always indelible. These people who did not abandon the city and fled, think they really love this Hangzhou city, and the people's hearts can be used!

Soon, the convoy left Genshan Gate and arrived at Fang Guoan's military camp.

The guards of the camp gate saw a long convoy from afar, ran into the camp with ecstasy and headed straight for the central army tent.

"Report! The military rations have arrived outside the camp!"

In the tent, Fang Guoan put on his boots slowly and smiled bitterly at Fang Yuanke, "Let's go and see how many grains of rice you can have."

The two of them immediately went to the camp to receive food.

From a distance, Fang Guoan seemed to smell the smell of wine. He thought it was the soldiers who were drunk and didn't care. Until he saw the eye-catching large jar in the long convoy, he was surprised.

Fang Yuanke was very excited and said to Fang Guoan: "It's grain, a lot of grain! There's wine!!!"

When Zhang Huangyan, who was waiting, saw the general coming, he stepped forward and said, "I am Zhang Huangyan, the governor of Hangzhou. This is Zhang Yinli, the governor of Hangzhou. We are ordered to come and reward the army."

"The last general Fang Guoan, two adults are about to invite them to the camp. It's a big help!" Fang Guoan was extremely surprised and welcomed the two very humbly without the airs of a general.

"Please, Lord Zhang!" Zhang Huangyan asked Zhang Yinli to go first.

As the carriage entered the camp, Fang Yuanke personally arranged to unload the car. While Fang Guoan arranged people to go to Hangzhou City to buy vegetables, he was entertaining Zhang Yinli and the others to the central army's tent.

......

Hangzhou prefect yamen.

The man who was rescued by Zhang Yinli in the street woke up slowly in the wing room in the backyard of the yamen. In the room, the servant who was looking after him saw this, hurriedly handed over a bowl of hot soup and said with concern: "The doctor said that your cold air is in your body. This is the ginger soup that you just cooked. If you drink it, you will get rid of the cold."

"Where is this?" the man took the pottery bowl in confusion and asked.

"This is Hangzhou Government Office. You fainted on the official street. It was my elder who happened to rescue you." The servant explained.

"That's really thankful to your lord. It seems that my life should not be lost." The man drank the ginger soup in his hand, wiped his mouth, and got up and got off the couch.

"Hey hey, what are you doing? My master said he would deal with you when he comes back." Seeing that the man was about to leave, the servant hurriedly stopped the door and said loudly.

"Haha, you are doing your job sincerely, it's good, but I have important things that I can't delay. When I finish it, I will come back to apologize to your elders." The man said with a smile on his waxy face. After saying a few words, he was panting and looked extremely weak.

The servant looked up and down and always felt that this person was extraordinary and not like an ordinary person, so hesitated.

Seeing this, the man picked up his straw raincoat, hat and staggered away from the house. The servant did not stop him and followed him silently. The man noticed that he didn't say anything, so the two of them came to the gate of Lu Wang Mansion one after another.

The servant was shocked and thought to himself that it was indeed not an ordinary person. He hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "Sir, the doctor said that your health needs good health and should not be too tired. Please take care of yourself, and the young one will give up first."

"Thank you, I'll tell your elders that I personally come to my door to thank you for your life-saving kindly." The man smiled at the servants kindly, then turned around, looked at the plaque of the Lu Wang Mansion, and sighed in his heart that he finally arrived. This trip, he had been walking around in the water and land for nearly a month.

When the guards of the royal palace saw someone coming, they stepped forward and asked, "Who are you? What's the matter with whom you are??"

"Please report to the supervisor, former assistant to the Ningbo submission of the sea route, Lu Ruoteng came to surrender!"

"Should you wait!"

When the guard heard that he was an official, he did not dare to neglect and hurried forward to communicate.

Soon, a little eunuch came to the door to pick him up and took Lu Ruoteng to the main hall, where Zhu Changqing was waiting.

Regarding Lu Ruoteng, there was nothing about him in Zhu Changqing's memory. The First Emperor decided to see him first. There were only two types of people who could come to join him at this time. One was loyal and dared to die for the revival of the Ming Dynasty, and the other was opportunistic and wanted fame and fortune, which was not difficult to distinguish.

After a while, the little eunuch led a man in.

"My minister, Lu Ruoteng, pay homage to the governor!"

"Get up and sit down. If you don't know what kind of outfit you are, you think where are the fishermen you are." Zhu Changqing sighed. Lu Ruoteng's body was so broken that he thought he was a beggar at first glance.

"I am so rude. I came from Tong'an County, Quanzhou Prefecture. I slept on the wind and went out all the way, and I went around for a month. It was really..." Lu Ruoteng said while getting up tremblingly. Li Bao, who was standing in the hall, saw this, hurriedly went up to support him and sat on a chair beside him.

After saying this, Zhu Changqing was speechless for a moment, and a little touched in his heart was rarely seen. At this time, the Qing army went south and others were escaping from disaster. Lu Ruoteng actually went north alone and traveled thousands of miles to Hangzhou. This was really... loyal and loyal.

Looking at the weak loyal minister in front of him, Emperor Qin Shi was touched and could not help but recall whether there was such a minister when the Qin Dynasty was destroyed. After pondering for a while, he turned into a long sigh.

"What about being rude? I can come to help me, but I can't ask for it!" Zhu Changqing's tone was full of admiration.

"The country's words are so important. I am willing to offer this life to the Ming Dynasty and live a life of silence!" Lu Ruoteng said firmly with all his strength. Once he received the kindness of the country, he would shed his blood to save the teachings of the sages. Originally, he wanted to go to Nanjing to serve the court, but shortly after he set out, he heard the bad news of Nanjing's surrender. He was confused and did not know where to go, so he wandered around until he heard that Lu Wang was in charge of the country. He firmly believed in his new beliefs and went straight to Hangzhou.

When Zhu Changqing saw that Lu Ruoteng was weak, he did not talk much and ordered Li Bao to arrange for him to stay in the mansion and asked the royal medical officer to do his best to treat him.

Just as the matter was settled, an eunuch came to report it.

"Report to the supervisor, please see the King of Tang!"
