Chapter 519 [On behalf of the king's southern tour, recruit Zheng's] three
It is especially easy to feel sleepy at noon in spring. Mu Linfeng couldn't help but doze off again in the sedan chair. At this time, he heard Zhong Bin shouting from the window of the sedan chair: "Your Majesty, we have arrived in Fuzhou!"
After hearing this, Mu Linfeng opened his sleepy eyes, opened the curtains, and glanced out the window. Seeing that it was almost dusk, he immediately said to Zhong Bin: "Instruct us to go down and set up camp on the spot. We will not enter Fuzhou City today!"
Upon hearing this, Zhong Bin immediately went down and shouted: "Your Majesty has ordered us to set up camp on the spot..."
Not long after, Mu Linfeng's sedan stopped. At this time, Zheng Chenggong stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, we still have less than ten miles to reach Fuzhou City. My father is still waiting for Your Majesty in the city..."
Mu Linfeng waved his hand quickly and said: "No need, Mu is tired after walking for such a long time, so he will rest in the suburbs tonight. Fusong, please go back and say sorry to your father for Mu!"
Zheng Chenggong looked at Mu Linfeng and saw that Mu Linfeng had closed his eyes as if to rest his mind, his color changed slightly, then he got off the sedan, mounted a horse and rushed to Fuzhou.
An hour later, Zhong Bin came to report that the camp had been set up. When Mu Linfeng saw that the sun had set in the west, he said to Zhong Bin: "Something may happen tonight, so be careful!"
Zhong Bin's heart trembled, and he immediately said: "My lord, please rest assured, if Zhilong really dares to do harm to your lord, he will risk his life to protect your safety!"
Mu Linfeng nodded happily after hearing this, and then ordered Zhong Bin to light a fire and let the soldiers have a good meal. After Zhong Bin went down, he asked the maids on the side to prepare dinner, and then prepared it in the sedan chair.
meal.
Not long after, I heard Zhong Bin report from outside the sedan: "Your Majesty, a team of a hundred or ten people appeared in front, heading towards the military camp!"
After hearing this, Mu Linfeng put down his bowls and chopsticks, walked out of the sedan, and looked into the distance. He saw a line of bright lights flickering in the distance. He thought it was a cavalry, but not long after, the cavalry had arrived in front of the military camp.
But I heard someone from the cavalry team shouting: "Yang Gengte is here to pay a visit to Mu Shuai!"
When Mu Linfeng saw that it was Yang Geng, who seemed to be working as a lobbyist for Zheng Chenggong, he quickly motioned to Zhong Bin to ask Yang Geng to come over.
From time to time, Yang Geng was led by Zhong Bin to Mu Linfeng, and he quickly raised his hands and said: "Shuai Mu...ah...ah...look at my memory, it should be Prince Mu!"
Mu Linfeng knew that it was not Yang Geng who had a bad memory, but that he was doing this on purpose. He said calmly: "Thank you, Mr. Yang, for coming all the way from Fuzhou City to this wilderness. I'm really sorry!"
Yang Geng quickly smiled and said: "Mu...what did Prince Mu say? After hearing the news about Prince Mu's southern tour, Yang has long been looking forward to meeting Prince Mu again like today!"
Mu Linfeng nodded when he heard this, and then said: "Well, in that case, Mu is having a meal at the moment. If you want to meet him by chance, why don't you invite Mr. Yang to come up and have a drink?"
Mu Linfeng said and was about to get on the sedan, but he heard Yang Geng say quickly: "Your Majesty... our master has already prepared a banquet for you at Wangjiang Tower, and specially asked Yang to come in his place. Please be sure to appreciate it, Your Majesty!"
"
Mu Linfeng turned around and said, "Mr. Yang, you and I are old acquaintances. I believe you know the reason why I don't go to the city, Mr. Yang, so why bother..."
Yang Geng looked surprised and said: "What's the reason? Yang is stupid, please ask Mu Shuai for advice!"
Mu Linfeng knew that Yang Geng was pretending to be stupid in front of him. Even if there was no one who knew anything in the three southeastern provinces, this Yang Geng was still a smart guy. Mu Linfeng sneered and then said: "Since Mr. Yang doesn't know, then you have the right to
It seems that Mu is exhausted physically and mentally and doesn’t want to move anymore. When it gets bright tomorrow, Mu will go to the city again.”
Yang Geng quickly said: "Mu Shuai, this place is only more than ten miles away from Fuzhou City..."
As Yang Geng was talking, he saw that Mu Linfeng had already stepped onto the sedan chair. He then turned around and looked back at Yang Geng and said, "Mr. Yang, you really don't want to come up and have a drink?"
Yang Geng had no choice but to follow Mu Linfeng into the sedan chair. Mu Linfeng asked the maid to prepare the bowls and chopsticks for Yang Geng, and asked the maid to fill a glass of wine for Yang Geng. Then he said: "Mr. Yang, please!"
Yang Geng picked up the wine glass, drank it down in one gulp, and then said: "Your Majesty, there are no outsiders here. If you said you won't go into the city, are you afraid that my master will do something bad to you?"
Mu Linfeng saw that this time Yang Geng actually got straight to the point. He immediately looked at the maids on the side and motioned for them to step back. After the maids had all got off the sedan, he said to Yang Geng: "Mr. Yang is a happy person, and he means everything he says.
Now, I, Mu Linfeng, won’t hide it anymore!”
Yang Geng quickly smiled and said: "My lord, you must have misunderstood. Why would my master do anything against you?"
Mu Linfeng held the wine glass and looked at Yang Geng with lightning-like eyes. Yang Geng was frightened and thought to himself, why when he saw Mu Linfeng this time, he felt that Mu Linfeng was completely different from the Mu Linfeng he had known before.
?
But Mu Linfeng said: "Since there is no harm to Mu, why would Mr. Yang guess that Mu is worried?"
Yang Geng's heart trembled when he heard this. He wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to explain it, but Mu Linfeng sneered and said: "You and I both know this matter well. Originally, Mu agreed to support Fu Song as the emperor.
, but this time he supported the former Ming Prince Zhu Cixiang, does Mr. Zheng have no idea at all?"
Yang Geng pondered for a while after hearing the words, and then said to Mu Linfeng: "The prince actually mentioned this, so Yang might as well say it directly, my master is actually fine, but he is just a subordinate group, and the other Shibazhi brothers
We, can’t figure it out…”
Mu Linfeng laughed loudly after hearing this and said: "Mu, it seems that your master may not be able to figure it out, right?" He looked at Yang Geng with sharp eyes, and then said: "Since I was in Yanping, Mr. Zheng has not come here.
When Mr. Yang comes to greet you, instead of Mr. Zheng, Mu will understand everything..."
Yang Geng quickly said: "The prince has misunderstood, my master..."
Mu Linfeng quickly stretched out his hand to stop him and said: "If it is a long way to Yanping, Mu can understand it, but Mr. Yang also said that this military camp is only more than ten miles away from Fuzhou City. Mr. Zheng was not able to come in person. Yang
Sir, do you dare to say that Mr. Zheng does not hate Mu in his heart?"
Hearing this, Yang Geng was shocked and speechless. He picked up the wine glass and drank a glass of wine. He glanced around and saw that there was no one around. Then he looked at Mu Linfeng and whispered: "In this case, Yang will still treat you as the prince. You are from the past."
As an old friend, I dare to ask, why did you, Your Majesty, change your mind and support Zhu Cihong?"
Mu Linfeng laughed when he heard this, then pointed at Yang Geng's nose and said with a smile: "Mr. Yang, you finally couldn't help but ask..."
Yang Geng laughed dryly for a while, but then he heard Mu Linfeng say: "Since Mr. Yang still regards Mu as an old friend, then Mu might as well say a few words of truth to you, an old friend..."
Yang Geng quickly stood up and filled Mu Linfeng's glass of wine, then sat down and listened to Mu Linfeng say: "If you support Zheng Fusong now, then not only will the world think that I, Mu Linfeng, am a traitor who destroyed the Ming Dynasty, but also your Zheng family
It will be the same, Mr. Yang, you are a smart man. If your master, including anyone in the three southeastern provinces, cannot figure it out, Mu will understand it, but you will never fail to understand Mu’s intention!"
Yang Geng looked at Mu Linfeng and then asked tentatively: "My lord, could it be that your original intention is to support Zhu Cixiang and use his royal status to prepare for the Northern Expedition in the future?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Linfeng clapped his hands quickly and said: "So Mu said, only Mr. Yang can understand Mu's heart!" He picked up the wine glass and said to Yang Geng: "Mr. Yang, cheers for you and me to get to know each other!"
Drink it all in one gulp.
Yang Geng quickly picked up the wine glass. After drinking it, he pondered in his heart for a long time, and then secretly glanced at Mu Linfeng.
