Chapter 221: The Iron Tree Blossoms
"I don't need anything" After Hua Mulan finished speaking, she hesitated for a moment and said: "General Wan has such a big thing, presumably Miss Wan must be in a hurry, you go to Shanwu County this time, just go to her residence to see, if she is still there, if there is any difficulty, you can help!" โ
This is the first time that Mulan took the initiative to let Zhao Junsheng go to Wan Yutong, Zhao Junsheng was very happy, she still knew the general at the critical moment.
"I know, but I don't think she should be in Shanwu County, she must have gone to Pingcheng with General Wan!"
When these words came out, Zhao Junsheng was also very worried about Wan Yutong, if she was alone in Pingcheng and Wan Dugui was in prison again, wouldn't she be isolated and desperate?
At dawn the next day, only one hundred people remained in the baggage battalion, most of whom were from the craftsman battalion, and the others were all dispatched, and the battalion was full of 120 carriages full of soldiers and set off in a long line under the leadership of Zhao Junsheng.
When Hua Mulan gathered the whole team of soldiers under her command in the camp, she saw the departure of the baggage battalion team, and she saw Zhao Junsheng riding a horse and disappearing into sight before she turned around and shouted: "Line up, rush and kill, slash, and start drilling!" โ
In front of him was a phalanx of scarecrows, hundreds of scarecrows were erected on the school field, and a group of cavalry of the town garrison army rode forward, one after another, they kept waving their knives and slashing the scarecrows that passed by, until the straw grass clippings flew everywhere.
They rushed over and slashed all the way, and at Mulan's command, they turned around and returned to continue the formation, this time they put their swords in their sheaths, took out their spears, held the reins in one hand, and held the spear in the other, the end of which was clamped under the armpit.
"Sprint, strike!"
Under Mulan's orders, the soldiers of the third building rushed forward one by one with shouts and horses, and when they rushed to the scarecrow, they put the reins in the saddle and stabbed the scarecrow with spears in both hands.
The previous chopping combined with the current spear charge had almost consumed the scarecrow, and most of it was left on the stake with only a few straws left.
"This scarecrow really can't stand up to destruction, it seems that this scarecrow has to be replaced with a rattan weave, so that it is more durable!"
Mulan said and waved her hand: "Go on!" โ
Spring seems to come later in the north than in the south, and the south is estimated to be hotter at this time, while the north is still flying, and the sun is warm and sleepy.
Many of the baggage team sat in the carriage and fell asleep back to back, and many of the soldiers on both sides of the horse swayed drowsy on horseback.
Zhao Junsheng didn't feel sleepy at all, he was worried about Wan Yutong all the way, he could imagine Wan Yutong's loneliness, helplessness and despair at this time, how could he not know Wan Yutong's affection for him? How could he not be moved? It is impossible for him to be indifferent to this, if he has the ability to fly to the sky, he can't wait to rush to Wan Yutong's side immediately and give her an arm.
But worrying is also superfluous, it has no effect, Zhao Junsheng controlled his emotions and waved forward: "Speed up!" โ
Two days later, the baggage team arrived in Shanwu County again, which was the fourth time that Zhao Junsheng led the team to Shanwu County to escort the baggage, and still set up camp in the original location outside the city.
At this time, it was almost dusk, and after Zhao Junsheng settled the soldiers, he asked Gao Xiu and Xue An to lead the team to stay in the camp, and he took Lu Xuanbo, Pei Jin, Li Bao and a few personal soldiers into the city.
The first two times he came to Shanwu County, he didn't come to see Wan Yutong, and this time he came to Wan Yutong's house in Shanwu County.
The door of the house was closed, and there was a copper lock hanging on it, Guo Yi walked over and took the copper lock and looked at it, locked it, he turned around and came back and said: "Young master, the door is locked, it looks like it has been going for a long time!" โ
Zhao Junsheng turned his head and said to Lu Xuanbo: "Old Lu, you go over the wall and take a look!" โ
"Good!" Lu Xuanbo agreed, ran to the wall next to him, clicked his feet on the wall twice, and the whole person easily jumped onto the wall, jumped and disappeared into the courtyard.
Pei Jin walked over from across the street and bowed his hand to Zhao Junsheng: "Captain, my subordinates have inquired about a few shops opposite, and they all said that the people in this house moved out a few months ago!" Ten days ago, a great general came here with hundreds of soldiers, smashed the door and entered, and then they repaired the door and locked it and left! โ
This news made Zhao Junsheng wonder, could it be that Wan Yutong didn't live here before Wandu returned? So where did she go? Could it be ยทยทยทยทยทยท She went to Pingcheng, went to the palace?
What does it feel like? Zhao Junsheng's heart felt like he had knocked over the five-flavor bottle.
After a cup of tea, Lu Xuanbo climbed over the wall and came out, walked in front of Zhao Junsheng and reported: "Young master, there is no one in the house, it seems that there has been no one living in it for several months, and the coffee table and dining table are covered with thick dust!" โ
It seems that what the shopkeeper and shopkeeper of the shops opposite said is true, Zhao Junsheng stood in place and was in a trance for a while.
"Captain, it's getting late, should I stay in the city or go out of the city and return to the camp?"
Zhao Junsheng came back to his senses, cleaned up his mood, and waved his hand: "Let's go, go out of the city and go back to the camp for dinner first!" โ
The people left the city before the gates were closed, and returned to the camp just in time for the meal to be served.
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Zhao Junsheng asked the soldiers to exercise as usual, and he sent someone to find Pei Jin and asked, "Have you written all the invitations that Captain Pontus asked you to write last night?" โ
Pei Jin replied: "Back to Duwei, there are twenty-three in total, all of them have been written!" โ
Zhao Junsheng nodded: "Okay, you will take someone to send these invitations to the mansions of the rich businessmen later, and package the Hongyun Restaurant, and wait until the afternoon to bring some people over to let the shopkeeper clear the venue and prepare the banquet. โ
"Don't worry, Captain, your subordinates will definitely handle this matter properly!"
After breakfast, Zhao Junsheng took Lu Xuanbo, Li Bao and a few soldiers into the city and came to the mansion of the governor's grain and grass official Da Bo Xiaoyi.
Da Bo Xiaoyi, who got the notification, immediately went out of the house to greet him, and when he saw Zhao Junsheng, he laughed and arched his hand: "Zhao Duwei hasn't been here for a long time, brother, I really miss it, I was still talking about it just now, count the days Brother Zhao should be coming in the next few days, you see, sure enough, you are really here!" โ
"I'm bothering Governor Dab again!" Zhao Junsheng smiled and returned the salute with a fist.
"It's too much to talk about the outside, please talk inside!"
"Please!"
When they arrived at the outer hall, the host sat down, Zhao Junsheng beckoned to Guo Yi, and Guo Yi stepped forward and put a small box on the table.
Da Bo Xiaoyi was puzzled and asked, "Brother Zhao, who are you?" โ
Zhao Junsheng said with a smile: "I didn't bring a salute to the door the first few times, this is a little meaning, and please don't dislike Brother Dabo!" โ
It's really the sun coming out in the west, and you, the master who even has to scrape off two taels of meat when mosquitoes fly over, actually took the initiative to give gifts, and he was courteous and courteous, either a traitor or a thief! Da Bo Xiaoyi was disgusted in his heart, stretched out his hand to open the small box and took a look, only to see a few pearl agate inside, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a smile appeared on his face: "Oh, how can you let Brother Zhao spend so much?" In that case, I'm welcome, come on, take it! โ
A family member carried the small box down.
Da Bo Xiaoyi said to Zhao Junsheng: "Brother, do you want to take the baggage first today, or do you want to have a light meal at my place first?" โ
"Hahaha, Brother Dabo is so enthusiastic, then my brothers and I will bother!"
Nima's, you're really welcome! Da Bo Xiaoyi scolded in his heart, and greeted the people below: "Come on, today the official is going to have a banquet for Zhao Duwei at home, why don't you go and order the kitchen to prepare a banquet!" โ
"Yes, sir!"
The two drank tea and chatted about the topic of not being salty or light, Zhao Junsheng remembered the materials listed in the list of materials, he took out the list booklet and handed it to Dabo Xiaoyi.
"Brother Dabo, this time my brother was ordered to come over, in addition to transporting back the grain, grass, materials and ordnance allocated to my army, I also need some things on this list, you can see which ones are available in your warehouse, and please help me make up the quantity for my little brother!"
"Oh?" Da Bo Xiaoyi accepted the benefits of Zhao Junsheng, took the inventory and looked at it carefully, and after reading it, he got up and walked to the study to draw a circle with a brush on all the materials.
After returning to the outer hall, he returned the list book to Zhao Junsheng, "Brother Zhao, these are circled, and the treasury has them, I will give you enough according to the number on the list, and if there are no others, please forgive me for not being able to do anything!" โ
"Okay, then there's Brother Laudabo!"
Zhao Junsheng put away the list, thought about it and asked, "I wonder if there are any big tonic medicines in Brother Dabo's warehouse, such as thousand-year-old ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, He Shou Wu or something?" โ
Da Bo Xiaoyi was drinking tea, and when he heard this, he opened his mouth and squirted out a mouthful of tea, coughing for a while before he came to his senses, "I said Brother Zhao, do you think the thousand-year-old ginseng is a white radish?" Not to mention thousand-year-old ginseng, even if it's a hundred-year-old ginseng, I haven't seen it before! Besides, my warehouse for heavy supplies is not a pharmacy, and the medicinal materials are all ordinary and cheap medicinal materials, and you can still use the treasure medicine of hundred-year-old ginseng for those ordinary soldiers to eat? Am I crazy? โ
Zhao Junsheng just asked with the attitude of giving it a try, and he didn't expect to get good medicinal materials here in Dabo Xiaoyi, "Then do you know if anyone in the city has this kind of precious medicinal material?" โ
Da Bo Xiaoyi said: "There should be one or two treasures in each pharmacy, but they will not sell them easily!" There should also be some in the homes of the major families and court ministers in Heijo. Of course, there are the most precious medicinal herbs in the palace, but you can't get them! โ
Zhao Junsheng nodded: "That's right!" โ
At this time, Da Bo Xiaoyi said: "Brother Zhao, I can't let you waste money in vain, if you are willing to wait for two more days, at most three days, I have a batch of good things for you!" โ
Hey, this guy has bloomed the Iron Tree?
Zhao Junsheng was greatly interested when he heard this, this Da Bo Xiaoyi has always been an iron rooster, and this guy still expects those grain and grass materials in the warehouse to charge more bribes, this time he even offered to give him a batch of good things, so this thing must be unusual, and asked: "What is it?" โ
