When the pavilion soldier who sold wine privately yesterday got up early, he saw an ox cart parked outside the pavilion. Just as he was about to scold him, he saw the stingy trio from yesterday walking over.
They said the bullock cart belonged to them and would leave in a moment.
Tingshe was suspicious. There was no bullock cart yesterday, so how could it be there overnight? So, he wanted to go over and check.
Seeing that the pavilion guard was about to step forward, a man with black hair among the three looked around. Seeing that no one was there, he stepped forward and pressed against the pavilion guard.
Just at this time, a person came into the pavilion. When he saw the pavilion soldiers, he called for hot water. Liu Jun wanted to use it.
After hearing this, the soldiers of the pavilion hurriedly bent down, then carried the firewood and went to the pavilion.
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief, then one person led the horse, one drove the cart, and the other got into the cart and drove towards Dongpingling County.
These three people are Zhang Chong, Cai Que and Guo Zu.
Last night Zhao E woke up, first panicked, then calmly observing her surroundings.
She saw the two soldiers snoring loudly, which was good. This was an opportunity. Then she looked for the man who knocked her out. When she turned her head, she saw that the man was not sleeping at all, staring straight at her in the dark night.
.
Zhao Ji panicked for no reason and immediately closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Zhang Chong sighed and said lightly:
"Don't worry too much. The snoring of my two soldiers is so disturbing that I can't sleep."
Zhao Jiquan pretended not to hear it and still closed her eyes.
Zhang Chong didn't care, and started chatting a lot. He was still too immature, at least emotionally. He told a lot of stories about himself, but he never thought about whether others would be willing to listen.
Zhao Ji closed her eyes and fell asleep. That's it. Who wants to hear your story? But gradually she became fascinated by it and had various emotions in her heart. This person is really stupid. Why should he be the leader of the ship? This person is still a bit arrogant. I wish to
She risked her life to save a rebel soldier; she was worried when she heard that the bandits had boarded the boat in the middle of the night, and then she was even more worried when she heard that this man was leading the way.
Hey, why didn’t this person say anything? Zhao Ji couldn’t help but:
"Then what?"
In the darkness, the other person replied:
"Aren't you asleep?"
Zhao Ji was annoyed and ignored him again.
After a while, she asked again:
"What's your last name?"
Zhang Chong pursed his lips and said directly:
"Don't call me Jun, just call me Zhang Chong, or call me by my nickname, Shi Zaizi."
Zhao Ji Yile, Shi Zaizi, could this man come out of a stone? But he was secretly angry because his temper was smelly and hard, just like a stone.
"Let's talk about you." These words came from the darkness.
Zhao Ji's face darkened. She never wanted to share her past with others, but the darkness seemed to give her courage, but maybe it was this person who told her.
After that, Zhang Chong entered Zhao Ji's past.
A student who had read some scriptures was accused and imprisoned by his senior brother because he sent a letter to a teacher who was imprisoned by the party. Later, he and his teacher were tortured and killed in the monastery.
This student had a daughter and was naughty since she was a child. However, it was she who sneaked into her father's senior brother's house and killed the thief to avenge her father. Later, in order to get protection, she sought refuge with Feng Xu, the eunuch of the same county, and became his fake daughter.
Zhang Chong's understanding of Zhao Ji deepened.
Finally, after Zhao Ji finished speaking, she asked Zhang Chong:
"Are you from Taiping Road?"
Zhang Chong was surprised, I didn’t mention that.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Ji smiled and said:
"When you exposed me as an assassin, weren't you very perceptive? When I entered the room, I saw a corner of apricot yellow on the bundle on the couch.
Listening to what happened to you again, but now you can still sit peacefully in the pavilion, you can know that there must be a powerful force to protect you. Isn't this the way of peace?"
Zhang Chong was speechless, he just felt that he should have shot harder and more silly before.
Zhao Ji liked this feeling that left Zhang Chong speechless, as if she was very free.
After all the questions were asked, Zhang Chong narrated his complete story to Zhao E, and finally sighed:
"So, now I am going to Dongpingling to wait for the imperial edict."
Perhaps Zhang Chong's story was so shocking that he didn't speak for a long time in the dark.
"Are you still listening? Why don't you go to sleep."
In the darkness, Zhao E came back to her senses and muttered:
"I can help you."
"ha?"
"I'm saying that I can help you."
Zhang Chong, who was sleeping on the straw mat next to the bed, straightened up and said after hearing this:
"You mean, you want to go with me?"
Um? That's not what people said.
Sure enough, the other party was silent.
"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent.
In the darkness, Zhao E still didn't speak.
In this way, Zhang Chong didn't sleep in the middle of the night. He kicked him awake and the two generals went to look for the cart. Finally, he and an old man from the North Corridor exchanged two horses for an ox cart.
Guo Zu was so angry that he wanted to beat the old man. Isn't this blackmail? But Zhang Chong was happy!
Afterwards, Zhang Chong found Zhao E a scarf to wrap her hair around, while sighing that this girl was so cruel to him that she even shaved off her hair in order to assassinate her.
In this way, Zhang Chong, who had not slept all night, was so energetic that he took General Heng Ha and Zhao E to Dongpingling in the spring breeze.
At this time, the south gate of Dongpingling Mausoleum was wide open, and an endless stream of oxcarts and businessmen carrying rice cakes were queuing up to enter the city.
Cai Que, who was driving an ox cart outside, saw the city gatekeepers in front of him conducting strict inspections all the way. He was so nervous that he asked Zhang Chong in the car:
"Qi, it seems that the front line is very tight, what should we do?"
At this time, Zhang Chongzheng was talking to Zhao E, who was wearing a hat. When he heard this, he took out an apricot-yellow flag from the bag and asked Cai Que to hang it on the car.
Cai Que was dubious, took the apricot-yellow flag, and tied it in front of the car.
It was also strange. The people who were queuing up to enter the city saw the apricot-yellow flag and gave way to the roadside. Even the city gatekeepers took the initiative to come over and enthusiastically held Zhang Chong's ox cart to help him along the way.
Entered the city.
Cai Chue was speechless. Only now did he realize the power of Taiping Road.
And all this was seen by a soldier standing guard at the city gate tower, and he sighed:
"These are a bunch of insults!"
This gentleman's name is Xue Zhou, who is from Dongpingling. He rarely has great ambitions. His father was a Northern Army official, so he has acquired military spirit since he was a child. He thought he would be able to fulfill his ambition, but since he joined the city to recruit civil servants, he has been suppressed by his colleagues.
.
In fact, this is not the fault of his colleagues, but that Xuezhou is too unsociable. Take the envoy who welcomed the envoy from Kyoto the month before last. On that day, everyone was enjoying the cool air in the gatehouse, but he was the only one wearing an armor plate and standing upright in the gatehouse.
Who is this for?
You, Xuezhou, want to break into the camp, are you too anxious?
Then he was the first to open the door to welcome the envoy. Little did he know that the envoy was here to visit the Prime Minister of Jinan, and you were so eager.
Although the Prime Minister of Jinan is often escorted to the capital, his close confidants and old officials are still there. They can't serve as envoys, and they can't serve you as a small city gate official?
No, now you have been deprived of your salary and become a servant. So, Xuezhou, why do you have to ask for trouble? Don’t you know? In ancient times, fame and fortune are like clouds, and life depends on trust.
Xue Li was at the gate tower, feeling unhappy when he suddenly saw another motorcade approaching in the distance, all with apricot-yellow flags. He suddenly remembered something and hurriedly went downstairs to the city gate captain, reported illness and went home.
