Chapter 173 The Zhuang Clan
After hearing what Chen Si said, He Xinyin's face changed for a long time, and finally said with a pride: "I treat her so kindly, why do you still deceive me?" As he said that, he suddenly stood up and said: "I'll go find her to ask clearly! What kind of tricks are you going to do!"
Chen Si shook his head and said, "It's better not to go."
"But why?" He Xinyin glared and said, "I think she is probably a spy of the Japanese pirates. Maybe at what time, she will attract a large group of Japanese pirates and make us dumplings."
"That's impossible." Chen Si shook his head: "If the Japanese guber wants to make our dumplings, it's enough in that inn. Why do you need to take off your pants and fart like this?"
"That's a meticulous work, and I want to get into our internal affairs." He Xinyin said hatefully: "I'll kill her now."
Silence this sweat, thinking that you are really turning against each other faster than turning a book, so you quickly grabbed him and said, "If she is a Japanese spy," he said, "Then we will be safe along the way."
He Xinyin thought about it, as long as the Japanese pirates had some intentions, they would not attack them. He said in a deep voice: "Where are you in Hangzhou?"
"As soon as she enters Hangzhou City, she will not be able to count on her many accomplices. She will catch her and question her when the time comes. If she is really a Japanese/pirate, she said with a silence. "She will be the only way to put her into a variety of things, and it will be up to you, He Dashi."
He Xinyin then gave up and said angrily: "Then let's keep her for a few more days."
As expected, we were in peace along the way, and we arrived at the outskirts of Hangzhou on the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month.
Walking on the wide and flat official road, Tiezhu said excitedly: "Sir, you will be less than twenty miles away and you will be able to enter the city this afternoon."
He nodded silently and smiled, "I will give you a big holiday after entering Hangzhou City, give you double salary, so that your brothers can rest." He immediately attracted a lot of excitement. The soldiers who were already a little tired suddenly became excited. After thanking the adults in the most sincere words, they began to discuss the quality of the girls in Hangzhou kilns, the average price for one night, etc., obviously they were so exhausted that they had been suffocated after several months.
Tiezhu became more and more distorted when he heard them talking. When his face darkened, he wanted to scold him loudly. He shook his head silently and said, "It's too tight along the way, so let them loosen their strings." This attracted a wave of praise from the personal soldiers.
Tiezhu laughed and scolded: "A bunch of bastards, I will come out of the city later. I have to show my personal example. Don't lose my face!"
"You still need your usual instructions?" A northern soldier laughed and said, "I ran around Zhejiang. Didn't we support the adults?"
"You are just dirty?" someone next to him smiled and said, "It would be nice not to embarrass the adults." Most of the personal soldiers had never washed their faces after coming out of Qi Jiguang, and they were all imaginable.
The old soldier blushed, of course no one could see it, and said embarrassedly: "I'll find a river ditch to wash it later, and I'll definitely be a handsome guy." It immediately attracted a lot of laughter.
Just as there were bursts of laughter and joy, someone suddenly shouted: "I saw Hangzhou City."
Everyone looked into the distance, and they could indeed see the faint outline of a city in the distance, and they screamed strangely.
The silence also relaxed and said softly: "I have been traveling around Zhejiang for 100 days, and today I finally finished."
Before he finished speaking, He Xinyin whispered: "We are surrounded!"
The laughter came to an abrupt end. The personal soldiers had unconditional trust in the eyes of He Daxia. They immediately formed a formation and protected the adults in the center. At the same time, they pulled out their weapons and looked vigilantly at the dead grass waist-deep on both sides.
There was a mess here, but He He said, "They are leaving."
Chen An couldn't help but say, "Hero, you are not a 'super-stricken soldier' ​​just now, right?" It seems that Shutong is indeed a promising job. At least with the young master, his ink in his stomach will rise.
He Xinyin snorted coldly, pointed to the wavy grass that was turbulent outwards and said, "Look at it yourself."
Chen An widened his eyes and looked closely. Sure enough, he saw a vague blue-black figure in the yellow-green grass. He couldn't help but take a breath of air and said, "It's really...."
He Xinyin glanced at him and said to Chen: "We have to be careful."
Chen Silent asked softly: "Is it a Japanese/pirate?"
"No." He Xinyin shook his head and said, "Looking at the outfit, it looks like the Yi tribe in Guangxi."
Chen An said strangely: "This is Zhejiang. Even if they are lost in hunting, they can't run so far, right?"
"I don't know, it's better to be careful." He Xinyin said in a deep voice.
Silently nodded and said, "Listen to sir."
The personal soldiers swept away their relaxed and happy moods, and were cautious along the way, but there was no abnormality. They finally saw...the shack and blue and black eyes.
I saw that from here to the moat, nearly three miles away, countless bamboo shacks were built. Between the shack and the shack, there were countless men wearing blue cloth clothes with no neckline on their bodies, black cloth pants with slightly wider legs, straw sandals on their feet, and layers of black cloth wrapped around their heads. Many people were holding knives and forks in their hands... scimitars and two forks.
Silence finally saw clearly, and it was clearly some ethnic minority compatriots! If it weren't for the clear word "Hangzhou" on the top of the city, he really thought he had traveled through time and space and ran to the southwest mountains. He looked at the flag hanging high on the open space with two lines of text written, one line could not be understood, but the other line was the Chinese text "Sibzhuang Chief Soldier of the Ming Dynasty Guangxi Governor" and finally he felt relieved and said: "It seems that it was a guest soldier from Guangxi."
In a sudden shock, he was not interested in asking what was going on. Seeing that the city gate was about to close, he asked Tiezhu to hold his official post in his hand and quickly called the door.
The iron pillar galloped away, and finally opened the door again at the moment before closing.
The group accelerated and entered Hangzhou City one after another.
Listening to the sound of the slowly closing of the city gate behind him, Chen Si and his personal guards' frightened heart finally fell back into his stomach.
The city gate official came over to kowtow to him, then stood up and smiled, "Sir, are you shocked by the wolf clay soldiers outside the door?"
"Wolf Cumulative Soldier?" Chen Mo then felt the mood to ask, "Where is the army?"
"In fact, the wolf clay soldiers are two troops, one is a wolf soldier from Guangxi and the other is a local soldier from Xiangxi. Because they are all chieftain soldiers, everyone calls them together 'Wolf Clay soldiers'." The city gate official smiled and said, "The ones stationed outside our south gate are Guangxi wolf soldiers."
"How can the chieftain army leave the territory?" He Xinyin interrupted, "This is strictly prohibited by me in the Ming Dynasty."
The city gate official smiled proudly and said, "It is naturally impossible to do it with others. But these soldiers are what our General Zhang wants, so it is naturally a different matter." Only civil officials and senior military generals call the Governor the ministry hall, and these middle and lower-level military officers and ordinary soldiers are called the General Manager. The city gate official smiled proudly and said, "Mr. Zhang is the first important official of our Ming Dynasty. Long live the emperor and the adults in the court all have to rely on our General Manager to guard the vast sea border. What does he want? Regardless of whether it complies with the rules, isn't it a matter of one sentence?"
He listened to the city gate official chattering silently, and finally waited for his breathing time, and interrupted with a smile: "How can I leave this brother, how do you get to the Governor's mansion?"
Although the city gate official was still unsatisfied, he had to stop and point the way to silence.
Looking at the backs of their group as they walked away, the city gate official muttered in a low voice: "I'm going to pay homage to the Grand Marshal so late, and I will definitely be rejected." He felt silent and ungrateful and hid this sentence after listening to his nagging.
Although Zhang Butang's Governor's Office is located in Nanjing, most of the time, he works in Hangzhou City closer to the front line, so he can't be careless in his office space in Hangzhou.
Fortunately, Hangzhou is not short of luxury houses worthy of second-rank officials. After racking his brains, Zhejiang Governor Li Tianchong vacated Luyuan on the side of Huagang as the head of his boss... Here he was connected to Su Dike with lush willows, and to the north by the green Xishan Mountains, the rippling small Nanhu and Xili Lake, like two mirrors with jade frames embedded on both sides. It is one of the best Feng Shui treasure lands in Hangzhou. Governor Zhang fell in love with it at a glance and never moved his nest ever since.
But when he was silent at the Governor's headquarters located on the west side of the southern section of Sudi, he only saw a butter lantern burning on the courtyard wall every few feet, illuminating the city wall as bright as daylight, and teams of patrol soldiers came and went.
The patrol officers and soldiers saw a silent group from afar. With a whirlwind, they rush up, took a bow and arrow, drew their swords and raised their guns, and surrounded them and couldn't fly.
"Where are you troops? How dare you trespass the Governor's Headquarters? Is it because you don't have to die?" Qianhu, the leader of the team, saw that these people dressed up as an official army, did not act rashly.
The silence made the guards dodge, reveal their official uniforms, and said loudly: "The emperor ordered the inspector of Zhejiang to prepare for Japanese troops to remain silent. I came to pay a visit to the master of the ministry and ask this master to report it on his behalf."
The Qianhu sneered, "Don't you know that the Governor General Shen Shi will not see guests in the future?"
Chen Si shook his head and smiled, "The first time Xia Guan has come, I really don't know."
The Qianhu waved his hand and said, "Go to the inn to rest first, and come again during the day tomorrow."
Silently smiled and said, "As a subordinate, I must come to visit Zhangbutang first before I can stay at the inn."
Qianhu couldn't help but laugh and said, "No matter whether you are a patrol or a patrolman, the general will not see you, leave quickly."
"It's the job of the master of the tribe." Chen said lightly: "Can this master make the decision for the master of the tribe?"
The thousand households were choked and said angrily: "Then you go and worship the door and taste the rejection of the Governor's Mansion is a different feeling!"
"It is my official's business." Chen Si turned over and dismounted, tidied up his clothes, and in front of the main gate of the Governor's Mansion, held the copper door knocker, and gently knocked on the closed door.
