"Young Master Zhou sits here."

Chen Ling suddenly jumped out of the seat, grabbed the other party's hands and pushed the other party down into his seat, instantly completing the change of shape, and Zhou Xingfan had no power to resist. "I just said that it looks familiar. We met at a public banquet in Xuzhou two years ago. At that time, you were still a teenager... How did Mr. Zhou come here to find me, Xiao Chen, to play tricks?"

Zhou Xingfan, who was still holding a copybook in his hand, was confused for a moment and wanted to speak but stopped, so he could only look at Zhang Xing.

Zhang Xing looked at Chen Ling, who suddenly smiled under the lights, and felt that he admired not only the thick-skinned one, but the key was that until this time, he still couldn't grasp the handle, and determined whether this Ying Yanglang General was really stupid or too smart and pretending to be ignorant.

It can only be said that the more impeccable the other party is, the more he Zhang Xing will lean towards the latter from a personal perspective.

"General Chen, can you please turn the maid away?" Zhang Xing thought about it while speaking seriously... There is no way, no matter how difficult it is, things must be done.

Chen Ling turned around and smiled, "It's a rough woman in the countryside. Does this Zhang Baishou look down on me?"

"That's what it means." Zhang Xing laughed and admitted.

General Chen got stuck again, but had to nod and let the maids go down.

As soon as the maids left, Zhang Xing spoke slowly in his seat, and his words were clear: "In Zhang Xing, the second inspection team of Jing'antai, Bai Shou, my direct inspector, called Bai Yousi, is the eldest daughter of Bai Hengqiu, the current Minister of Works, the inner-level history of Bai Gong, Bai Hengqiu, who is now in charge of the Ministry of Works, and the minister of the Ministry of Works, is ordered to transport some grain from Jiangdong to Luokou Cang. Now that he has passed Guyang, he is moving along the Huan River, but the information along the way has been clearly reviewed, and only said that there will be a large number of bandits in Yongcheng and Linhuan, so I sent me over and send this copybook... I want to ask General Chen to send troops to Huan River to protect one or two..."

General Chen listened carefully and thought for a moment, but then put his hands on his hips and waved them high: "This is simple. Not to mention a person like Inspection Commissioner Bai, even if Mr. Zhou is on his face here, I can't pretend to be deaf and dumb... I don't need to copybooks anymore. How can I say that Inspection Commissioner Bai and Mr. Zhou give gifts to people like me?"

Qin Er and others were overjoyed, and Zhou Xingfan was stunned for a moment and then looked at Zhang Xing in surprise.

Zhang Xing was also very stunned for a moment, but then he asked seriously: "Dare you ask General Chen when he will send troops? Where will he send troops? How many troops are prepared to send?"

Chen Ling looked at Zhang Xing, paused for a moment, then hesitated for a moment, and responded seriously: "You can send two groups of people, one hundred armors, and wait for the fleet of inspector Bai to join the riverside in front of the river to meet, which will surely ensure the fleet is worry-free."

Zhang Xing laughed instead of anger.

Zhou Xingfan was stunned for a moment before reacting: "Don't you even give us one team and three gangs?"

"Young Master Zhou." Although Chen Ling had no expression on his face and stood tall, he actually showed a cautious attitude in his words. "It is a violation of military law to privately mobilize more than one team of troops... As a descendant of the general, don't you understand this principle?"

Zhang Xing simply laughed out loud, then glanced over the package on the ground, but suddenly he spoke in a serious tone: "One hundred people are not enough!"

"It won't work if there are more than one hundred people." Chen Ling also turned around and said with a high voice.

"At least one thousand, it's best to have three thousand." Zhang Xing did not give in.

"Your Excellency, don't make a joke." Chen Ling also did not give in at all. "Wu Nan Ya's orders, it is impossible to have more than a hundred soldiers without any means."

The atmosphere was a bit awkward, and Zhang Xing didn't say anything else, but just bowed to retreat, indicating that he would say something again, but Chen Ling was not polite, and everyone felt a bit dispersed. Of course, the copybook and property were also taken back. As for Mr. Zhou's name, it was still useful. The group immediately occupied the side hall and the attached wing room on the first floor of the main building, and the treatment was even more generous.

The maid who was ordered to come over to warm her feet was driven away. Several patrolmen hurriedly gathered in the side hall to continue discussing countermeasures.

"This person is not smooth and does not eat soft and hard. He is like a loach!" Qin Bao first listened to the movements around him, and then he opened his mouth after confirming that no one eavesdropped. As soon as he opened his mouth, he shook his head repeatedly.

"That's also a loach on Longgang." Zhang Xing sighed in the main position. "To put it bluntly, in the past ten days, on both sides of the Huanshui River, this person has the largest control, and may be the only weapon to break the deadlock."

"Is that why I am so confident?" Mr. Zhou asked with embarrassment... He originally thought that his father's old subordinate would be very valuable, but the other party was reluctant to give him a team of people.

"We have to know clearly in our hearts." Zhang Xing thought for a while and decided to spread the matter. "It's because we have something to ask for, but because we are fearless... We can only say that we are doing our best."

"What should I do my best?" Qin Er seemed to have mustered up the courage to ask.

"What can we do?" Zhang Xing continued to say seriously. "They are clearly a shrewd person. I first checked out where we came from in the afternoon and knew the purpose of our trip early. Maybe we even knew where we came immediately and then deliberately delayed... But we came over hastily and didn't know anything when we arrived... So next, it was nothing more than finding out the details and temperament of this person, and then adding layers of weight to soften and harder. While grasping, we made an empty promise to rub him, force him, and let him send his troops with all his might."

Everyone had to nod.

At this point, Zhang Xing hesitated for a moment, but mentioned another thing: "I guess the biggest variable is the reply in the court... To be honest, I am in a different place. If I were Chen Ling, I would not be willing to send troops privately, because once I send troops privately, the military capital will be exhausted and the casualties will be borne by myself, and the Bai family and the Zhou family are far away; but once the court has a reply to the letter as a foundation, I will naturally be happy to sell favors."

"But what if the court is not clear about the situation and does not reply clearly to him and asks him to send troops?" Qin Bao couldn't help but continue asking.

"This is the worst situation we must be ready to deal with." Zhang Xing yawned and calmly responded. "Find this person's background... to let this person know that if the court ruins him, he will have to leave. We will destroy him now... In short, whether it is soft or hard, when it comes to that time, we must give him a condition that he cannot refuse. Of course, judging from this person's attitude, if it is that way, I'm afraid that there will be more hard... We also need to prepare more from the hard place, and we will have to work hard tomorrow."

Everyone finally felt a little astonished.

All night was speechless. The next morning, Zhang Xing just greeted General Chen and scattered with several patrol cavalry accompanying him... Some were wandering in the military camp, some went to Chengfu County on the other side of the Wo Shui, some went to find the legendary Metasequoia forest, and some people went directly to take horses to go back and do traffic... In short, everyone walked straight away, and several packages of treasures containing treasures such as Wang Zuojun's copybooks were thrown there casually, and no one paid attention to it.

As for Zhang Xing himself, he took Mr. Zhou as a way to open the way and took a few rounds in the military camp.

To be honest, the order and core troops in the military camp are very good, which also made Bai Shou, the Jing'an Taichung Fushi, realize once again that the General Chen Military Commission was really pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

Some things cannot be fake.

In this way, for three consecutive days, the Jinyi patrolmen did not ask any extra questions or force General Chen to send troops. They just went around to inquire about information, and General Chen was as stable as Mount Tai, without moving at all.

Finally, on the fourth day, Zhang Xing estimated that the court would reply within one or two days, and Bai Yousi's fleet also had patrols and fast horses traveling several times, saying that he was about to arrive in Qiao County, so he no longer hesitated.

At noon that day, Zhang Xing sent Qin Bao to the Metasequoia Forest. He and Zhou Xingfan were still wandering around the military camp, but at noon, he suddenly took Mr. Zhou and drove out of Longgang together, and came to the Metasequoia Forest that had been pointed in the direction.

Before he arrived, Zhang Xing knew that Chen Ling had at least not talked about this forest matter that night.

It turned out that not far from the north gate of Longgang Village, there was a crossroad between the northwest and the southeast. To the north of the intersection, there was a dozen acres of open metasequoia forest land. The metasequoia trees were tall and straight, neat and uniform, like a cap on the top, but clear at the bottom. Although it was winter, it made people feel refreshed and happy. I don’t know how grand the spring, summer and autumn are, nor who knows whose masterpiece is.

It is just to imagine that this forest is a signpost and a natural resting place.

In addition, this place is next to this military camp, and the place is a thoroughfare, so naturally there will be markets that will be born along the intersection.

The so-called metasequoia forest refers to more markets at the intersection in front of this forest.

In fact, Zhang Xing came on the horse and saw dozens of shops along the way. In addition to the forest in the north, there were also twists and turns behind the other three sides, and there must be some secret prostitutes, gambling halls, inns and the like.

It is really a prosperous place.

In this case, when you look back at the Longgang Village that can be seen from afar, I don’t know whether it was this village established because of the market at the intersection or the market stabilized because of the military camp. But everyone knows that the two must be connected from the root.

"Third brother."

Qin Bao came towards him, then bowed his hand, then pointed his hand behind him and smiled. "I have asked clearly these days that this Metasequoia forest is a famous wild market, a kind of black and white mixed with it. It is quite famous in Huaibei. Chen Ling is a general from the Jianghuai area. His family has been involved in commerce for many years. He has three or five store industries here early, and he has done all kinds of business. This year he was ordered to come here and move his base here. The best 17 or 8 stores at the intersection are all strangely belonging to him... The rest are not his family, and he has to pay regular money with him."

"So too?"

Zhang Xing immediately stretched out his whip and pointed at the largest and best restaurant in his sight. This restaurant is located just north of the intersection, backed by Metasequoia Forest, with six shops open all the way. The building is three stories high and has a small wind pavilion. There is also a deep place for accommodation behind it.

"Of course." Qin Bao laughed speechlessly. "This is called Qingfeng Tower."

"That's good." As he said that, Zhang Xing was meticulous and tied up the yellow horse slowly. Then he acted as an official, and stood in front of the store with a knife. He didn't bother to be cold, so he came to the door. "Where is the owner of the wine selling house?"

The people inside saw the shape, and even had an impression of Qin Bao and the others, so they immediately came out to greet him with a smile: "Several officials are here! The Feng Pavilion on the fourth floor has a stove, and it is not cold at all."

Zhang Xing immediately shook his head: "The four or five of us like to drink cold wine and blow cold wind. Just move a table and place five stools at this intersection... Then put on a few signature hot dishes and make a pot of good wine."

The shop heard something wrong, but he didn't dare to say anything. He immediately moved the table out and quickly served the food and wine.

After the food and drinks, Zhang Xing picked up a glass of wine, took a sip, threw it to the ground immediately, then slapped the table, and looked up in front of many people at the intersection: "In the middle of winter, actually gave me cold wine? Chen Ling was so brave. Did he want to make the imperial envoy who checked the accounts sick?!"

The shopkeeper was already stunned and didn't know how to speak.

Zhang Xing was not polite and pointed at Qin Bao: "Qin Er, smashed this store quickly, but a drop of wine was left behind, and you colluded with the surrender Chen Ling!"

Qin Bao couldn't help laughing, then quickly covered his mouth, then sternly raised his face, and showed his embroidered knife with the other two Jinyi patrolmen, broke into the store, and then ran his true energy. He first smashed dozens of jars of good wine placed in the store, and leaked all the essence.

When I turned out, I kept breaking into the casino next to me for a while, and this time I even beaten up people.

Zhang Xing had already taken Xiao Zhou to the secret brothel behind, chopped off one of the hands that was looking at the restaurant, and then led the panicked kiln sisters to the street, then sat there, asking the people in the restaurant to take out the chicken, duck, fish and meat, make a table for these women in public, and then let the blue-faced casino manager come out to pay the "profits" for the New Year to these women.

After paying the money, halfway through the banquet, the entire street was closed. Then, through the window, a few Jinyiqi rode to smash General Chen's property into one by one.

And at this moment, Qin Bao suddenly came over with a strange expression: "Three Brother..."

"What?" Zhang Xing, who was sitting there with his legs raised, was puzzled for a moment. "Is it finished?"

"It's early... I saw a horse." Qin Bao's expression became more and more weird. "You asked me to lead Zuo You that day."

Zhang Xing thought for a long time before he remembered who Zuo You was, but he also found it interesting: "I asked him to come here... and said I wanted to invite him to drink."

The skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is

Qin Bao immediately turned around, but stopped again. It turned out that not far away, Zuo You, dressed in a Taoist style, had already appeared in the distance, bowing and greeting him from afar.

Zhang Xing was too lazy to be timid, so he asked Yuanyuan: "Zuoyou, which company do you belong to?"

Zuo You smiled bitterly and bowed from afar: "Even if you walk around, all the families will make a living... General Chen has always been generous... It makes Zhang Sanlang laugh, and he also invites a large number of Lord Zhang Sanlang."

Zhang Xing thought about it, but instead waved with a smile: "Why continue to do a deal with me? I ask you, do you have new movements in Jishan and Dangshan?"

PS: There are three days left before the New Year, so I will continue to wish you all the New Year.
