Hearing Zhang Song say this, Fa Zheng's face changed, and he slowly revealed a murderous aura.

Meng Da said in surprise: "Ziqiao, do you mean that we were plotted by Liu Zhang?" No way. ”

"Zidu, you still underestimate Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang has always been to the point of color. And I naively thought that Liu Zhang's alcohol consumption was not good. However, did you find out last night, Liu Zhang drank the same amount of wine as us, but his face did not change. Don't you think it's strange one more thing? We usually have a small party, and we drink a lot of wine. Last night's wine, normally speaking, couldn't get us drunk at all. Zhang Song said with a bitter face.

Meng Da's brain was not stupid, and he instantly understood what Zhang Song meant, and said, "You mean, Liu Zhang drugged our wine." And he himself took the antidote beforehand, so we were calculated. ”

Zhang Song nodded painfully, and now that he had an epiphany, it was a little late.

"Abominable Liu Zhang!" Meng Da was really angry.

For a long time, it was he Meng Da who calculated others, but he didn't expect that this time it would be planted in the hands of an inconspicuous Liu Zhang, and his reputation would be ruined.

Fa Zheng never spoke, but he put Liu Zhang on his blacklist.

Zhang Song looked at Fa Zheng and said, "Xiaozhi, you must not hold a grudge against Liu Zhang, and don't think about taking revenge on him." Liu Zhang is now a member of the imperial court. We can't count him like we did before. Your Majesty is benevolent, and will never let me wait to calculate Liu Zhang. So, you better put this heart down. ”

Fa Zheng was caught in Zhang Song's mind, and his face instantly became a little ugly.

With such a stingy character, it is not easy to let Liu Zhang go. But the facts tell Fa Zheng that even if he wants Liu Zhang to die, Liu Yu will let Liu Zhang live a long life and live a very nourishing life.

Fa Zheng said hatefully: "Could it be that when I come to the court, I will still be bullied." ”

Fa Zheng threw himself from Yizhou to the imperial court, because he was blinded and bullied by others in Yizhou, and was not reused. Now that he is on the side of the Shenwu Imperial Court, he still has to encounter Liu Zhang's calculations, but he can't take revenge.

"Xiaozhi, Liu Zhang's calculation is nothing. In the future, there will be more disputes in the imperial court. The most important thing now is how to calm His Majesty's anger. Zhang Song's words returned to the point.

Fa Zheng and Meng Da both knew that what Zhang Song said was true, and the Shenwu Imperial Court now seemed to be monolithic, but it was already divided into several factions inside. Now Liu Yu is alive, prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, and can suppress the whole world. Once Liu Yu has a case, or the mountain collapses, several factions in the Shenwu Imperial Court will definitely have disputes, and I don't know how many calculations there will be at that time.

Fa Zheng cleaned up his mood for a while, and then asked Zhang Song: "Ziqiao, I can't waste time, how can I get to His Majesty?" ”

Zhang Song, Fa Zheng, and Meng Da couldn't get to fifty miles away on time to prepare to meet Liu Yu, but they couldn't wait for Liu Yu to come in Hanzhong City. To do such an act, Zhang Song, Fa Zheng, and Meng Da don't have to be mixed up with the Shenwu Imperial Court, and they just go to the wild. No matter how much Liu Yu attaches importance to them, he will be dissatisfied with their behavior. Indeed, from the natural fear of a courtier towards the king, it is natural to think like this.

Thinking that such a long time of hard work was in vain, Zhang Song was very angry. But now is not the time to be angry or not angry, the key is how to solve the problem.

Meng Da was the most anxious, he couldn't think of a way now, and he didn't dare to disturb Zhang Song and Fa Zheng out loud, so as not to affect their train of thought.

"Let's get six good horses at once, and give them whatever it costs. I'll wait for one person and two horses, and I can rush over as fast as I can. Zhang Song felt that he couldn't waste any more time, so he rushed over first, maybe when he was on the road, they could think of some way. Or maybe they can get there in time, so nothing happens.

Just do it, Fa Zheng, Meng Da, and Zhang Song immediately walked towards the gate. Before walking out of the gate, Zhang Song asked the servants in Liu Zhang's mansion about the location of the horse market. Liu Zhang has explained that when Zhang Song and them get up, they can do whatever they want, and there is no need to restrain them. Hearing Zhang Song's inquiry, the servant didn't know anything. It's not that Liu Zhang's servants tell lies or perfunctory, but they really don't know where horses are sold in Hanzhong.

Zhang Song almost didn't die of anger, absolutely believing that the servants of the Liu Mansion were ordered by Liu Zhang to do so.

The three of them were unfamiliar with the place in Hanzhong, and they could only find places to sell their horses according to the constant questioning places. It's just that Zhang Song, Fa Zheng, and Meng Da are all disappointed that there is no place to sell horses in Hanzhong City.

In this era, horses are a very precious resource. Liu Yu relied on himself to occupy the best horse-producing land and could have the most powerful cavalry troops, so that the princes of the world could not compete with Liu Yu on the plains, and occupied most of the world step by step.

Knowing his strengths, Liu Yu changed his way so that the princes of the world could not get horse resources. Especially at the level of war horses, it can't be obtained in the horse market.

In a place like Hanzhong, which borders Yizhou, there can be no horse market in Liu Yu's vision. However, due to the various blockades of the Shenwu Imperial Court, horse resources have become rare strategic materials for other princes, and the value of the transaction has become greater. If you can't trade openly, there will be some shady transactions or smuggling.

Originally, some big families in Hanzhong got it like this, and their stomachs were full of fat. Such a good day did not last long, and after the "dark department" spies found out the situation clearly, they sent all the information to Hanzhong Taishou. Huang Xu led the soldiers and horses to kill the family members who dared to violate the ban of the imperial court, one after another. The family property was confiscated, and the family was taken to the bitter cold land as slaves. Now in the entire Hanzhong City, in addition to the horses in the government, there are a few donkeys or mules, horses, and cattle left in the family as a means of transportation.

Zhang Song, Fa Zheng, and Meng Da wanted to find good horses, but it was impossible at all.

Zhang Song, Fa Zheng, and Meng Da, who wanted to rush over in time, fell into despair in an instant after wasting a period of time to no avail. Without good war horses, how could they have reached fifty miles away in the shortest possible time. You can't run on two feet. Not everyone is Dian Wei's terrifying existence that can be compared to a war horse with just his legs.

Just when Zhang Song, Fa Zheng, and Meng Da were disappointed, several people were staring at them in the dark.

These people are not ruffians and hooligans in Hanzhong City, but spies from the "dark department" who are rudding in Hanzhong City. When these spies received the news that someone was looking around Hanzhong City to find out if there was a place to sell horses, the helmsman immediately asked the spies to follow and monitor, and if there was any abnormality, they could move freely.

Under the constant tracking and surveillance, the spies recognized the identities of Zhang Song, Fa Zheng, and Meng Da.

It's not that the spies have awesome skills, but that Cao Bi has already sent the portraits of Zhang Song, Fa Zheng, and Meng Da to the rudder of Hanzhong City for great use.

The great use here is to prevent Zhang Song, Fa Zheng, and Meng Da from pretending to throw themselves into the imperial court, if Cao Bi is betrayed, the entire Yizhou rudder will be in one pot, then the rudder of Hanzhong can use these portraits to retaliate against Zhang Song, Fazheng, and Meng Da.

Meng Da and Fa Zheng may be difficult to recognize, but Zhang Song's face is too easy to recognize. The spies could recognize this at a glance as Zhang Song. The spies could conclude that in the Shenwu Imperial Court, only Pang Tong Pang Shiyuan could compete with Zhang Song in terms of appearance.

Zhang Song's outstanding face is really unforgettable. The spies were puzzled by Zhang Song's constant inquiries about the places where the horses were sold, these three adults were all court officials, did they need horses now?

The spies' brains turned very fast, and there were many of them, and after a few discussions, they probably guessed one of the reasons. His Majesty is almost arriving in Hanzhong today. The Taishou of Hanzhong took most of the civil and military officials of Hanzhong City fifty miles out of the city to greet him. At such an important time, Zhang Song and the three of them were looking for horses in the city, and they must have wanted to ride war horses to meet His Majesty.

Since they are all their own people, the spies naturally want to help. After all, Zhang Song and Fa Zheng had a close relationship with Cao Bi and Cao Haose, the helmsmen of the "dark department" in Yizhou. At the same time, Cao Bi also sent a message to the Hanzhong rudder when Zhang Song and the others left Chengdu, and also hoped that the Hanzhong rudder could monitor Zhang Song and the three of them and take proper care of them. The relationship between Cao Bi and Zhang Song is still okay, and that's all that can be done.

Zhang Song, Fa Zheng, and Meng Da walked on the road in disappointment, but they didn't know that several people stood in front of them.

Meng Da was a military general, and he was the first to notice someone in front of him, and subconsciously put his hand on the short sword on his waist, and shouted viciously at the spies who were blocking the way in front of him: "Who are you and why are you in the way?" ”

Fa Zheng and Zhang Song were knocked back by Meng Da's drink, and when they looked up, they saw that there were a few people they didn't know at all blocking the way of themselves and the others. They subconsciously think that this is not a good person.

Seeing Meng Da so alert, the spies all nodded lightly, thinking: This Meng Zidu is worthy of being a military general, and he is very alert.

It's a person, and you will be unhappy to see so many people blocking the way on the other side. Meng Da is naturally no exception.

"Don't wait for a quick retreat!" Meng Da slowly pulled out the short sword.

A spy arched his hand and said, "Don't panic, three adults! Instead of coming to embarrass the three of them, we found that the three adults were looking for horses. We had an old relationship with a friend of the three adults, so we stepped forward and hoped that we could help the three adults. ”

"Friends? I don't have any friends in Hanzhong! "Mengda is very skeptical.

Fa Zheng and Zhang Song glanced at each other, and the temperament of these people seemed to be very familiar.

The spy who spoke continued: "The friends of the three adults have an industry that is famous throughout Yizhou. I don't know if you can remember the best shopkeeper Cao? ”

Meng Da, Zhang Song, and Fa Zheng were stunned. Especially Zhang Song and Fa Zheng, no wonder they feel that the temperament of these people is very familiar, it turns out that they are from Cao Bi's side.

"So you're friends with Haose." Zhang Song said with a little surprise.

Fa Zheng and the others all knew that Cao Bi belonged to a very powerful organization in the imperial court, and if they helped, it would not be a big problem to get to Liu Yu in time.

"This is not the place to speak, three adults, please talk here!" The spies stretched out their hands to guide Zhang Song and them to the streets and alleys.

Zhang Song, Fa Zheng, and Meng Da did not have any suspicions, and followed the guidance of the spies and walked into the alley.

There weren't many people passing by here, and the leading spy took out his token, proved his identity, and then said: "I have received a letter from Chief Cao before, if I see three people in Hanzhong, as long as the three are in need, I will definitely help." ”

Zhang Song and the others finally understood, it turned out that Cao Bi was taking precautions, and he had long expected that they would be in trouble.

Cao Bi was completely a blind cat and hit a dead mouse, and what he said before was just that he took into account the feelings of both parties.

Otherwise, why is Cao Bi a very lucky person in the "dark department".

Fa Zheng hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Several, we need to rush to the place where Lord Taishou greets His Majesty, but it is fifty miles away, and there is no good war horse, so we can't go in time." We hope you can help. ”

"My lord, we can't guarantee that you will arrive in time. But there is no shortage of high-grade war horses! It can be borrowed for up to three adults. The lead spy immediately said.

To be able to have a good war horse, the three of Fazheng were really grateful, and said in unison: "Thank you!" ”

The "dark part" has hands and eyes to the sky, except for Liu Yu's secret, almost no one else can escape their eyes. Fa Zheng and Zhang Song and Meng Da are so anxious, they must have an inside story.

This inside story is one of the tasks of the "dark department" investigation.

"Without further ado! Come with me, three adults! Several spies quickly took Zhang Song, Fa Zheng, and Meng Da to the city gate.

There, the rudder of the "dark part" put several war horses there. Even if it is Zhang Song and the three of them, one person and three riders are more than rubbing. Zhang Song, Fa Zheng, and Meng Da's riding skills were just average, and they couldn't control the three war horses, so they could only choose two war horses per person and rotate with each other.

The city gate guards in Hanzhong are now on alert, but with the help of the "dark department", Zhang Song, Fa Zheng, and Meng Da went out of the city gate very smoothly and hurried towards fifty miles.

After Zhang Song and the three returned, the spies immediately reported the relevant situation to the helmsman of the rudder.

The helmsman of the Hanzhong rudder division immediately ordered: "Check it out immediately!" Be sure to investigate before His Majesty arrives. ”

"I'll do as I was told!" The spies quickly rushed out.

Zhang Song, Fa Zheng, and Meng Da are all officials of the imperial court, and if they are made like this, His Majesty will definitely ask after he arrives in Hanzhong, and the helmsman can not want to be scolded by their boss Li Gui.
