Chapter 46: The Swallow (Part II)

"Such a heavy treasure falls into our hands, Huaxu Ancient Kingdom will definitely not be reconciled, and try every means to get it back. They thought it was on me, hehe, they guessed wrong. ”

Song Zheng understood, took it and put it into his own small cave world.

After all the explanations were finished, Xiao Zhen waved his hand at him: "Okay, let's go out too, the situation in Beijing has been tense recently, I can't leave for too long, Jiangnan, I'll leave it to you." ”

The two came out of the jade gourd small cave, and Song Zheng really felt Ma Daquan's jealous eyes on the side. He was reprimanded and kicked out in three or two sentences, but Song Zheng had a long secret conversation with the commander inside, and it seemed that after talking to Song Zheng, the commander was in a very good mood.

"Isn't this kid a rabbit?" Ma Daquan cursed fiercely in his heart.

Xiao Zhen looked around: "Work hard, Long Yiwei will not let go of any guilty person, nor will he treat any meritorious person badly." ”

He nodded at Fan Zhenguo, who opened his mouth and spit out the sword pill, and with a jump, it turned into a divine sword, and the sword blade erupted with light that enveloped everyone, and flew into the air towards the Jingshi, thousands of miles in an instant.

Before leaving, Fan Zhenguo waved goodbye to Song Zheng, and Song Zheng hugged his fists and bowed to see him off.

When the golden meteor was out of sight, Ma Daquan came up with a smile and said, "Lord Song is deeply valued by the command, and his future is immeasurable." ”

The two guards, who were originally "friendly", became delicate because of Xiao Zhen's "favoritism". Ma Daquan's tone was not good, and the expressions of the people in Zhenshan Wei were also a little unkind.

Du Baihu was a little unhappy: You are not doing things well yourself, and you have been reprimanded by the commander, how can you dare to be angry with us? You are a thousand households, and we are also a thousand households, why should you accept your face?

Du Baihu glared angrily at the Zhenshan Guards. Behind him, the people of Leopard Taowei were also angry.

Song Zheng glanced at Ma Daquan and said lightly: "It's not important to talk about anything, it's just that the elders and commanders in the family make the adults old." ”

Ma Daquan secretly sneered, and his heart was really like this.

Du Baihu was stunned for a moment, looking at Ma Daquan's face, and snickered in his heart. He still remembered that when Lord Qianhu first entered Huzhou City, the first thing he did was to break the gate of the Pangong clan, making the whole Huzhou think that he was "young and vigorous", "irritable and irritable", and "shallow and without a city...... Now, Lord Qianhu seems to be thinking about leaving an impression of a "second ancestor" on Ma Daquan.

Song Zheng took the leopard Taowei to exterminate the Xiaoshan bandits, but for Ma Daquan, this is not a "ability", he didn't see Song Zheng easily destroy the zombie Hou Lu with his own eyes, and still felt that the Xiaoshan bandits were a rabble, if he didn't delay in time, the three hundred Zhenshan guards would be able to destroy the Xiaoshan bandits.

At this time, he was jealous, and Song Zheng gave a reason why "the elders in the family and the commander have an old relationship", which caters to Ma Daquan's psychology, and he is very willing to believe this statement.

Song Zheng didn't seem to see Ma Daquan's sneer, took out something from his arms, cleared his throat, and said in a straight voice: "This official has been appointed as the patrol envoy of the Dragon Honor Guard of the Five Continents in the south of the Yangtze River, and Ma Qianhu is also under the jurisdiction of this official.

Ma Daquan rushed to the top door with a wave of anger, his fat body was panting heavily, his eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at Song Zheng fiercely, and it took a long time to suppress his anger: "Okay, then the lower official wishes Lord Song to be prosperous and step on the corpses of Brother Long Yiwei to ascend as soon as possible!"

Du Baihu was furious: "Presumptuous!"

Song Zheng raised his hand lightly: "It's okay, Master Ma is older than me, his qualifications are older than me, but he lags behind me in promotion, and it is normal to have some resentment in my heart, just talking, it's not a big crime." ”

Ma Daquan was about to explode, and Du Baihu also felt that he was heartbroken, although this matter was obvious, but if you said this, Ma Qianhu's fat face was swollen by you.

"Hmph!" Ma Daquan snorted angrily and turned away, never wanting to stay in front of Song Zheng again.

Song Zheng said in the back: "Lord Ma will open the way first, and the official will inspect Xizhou, and Lord Ma will first prepare a place for the official to stay." ”

Ma Daquan was so angry that he almost spit out a mouthful of blood: Open the way?

He didn't look back, Du Baihu asked softly beside Song Zheng, "My lord, are we really going to Xizhou?"

"Go, of course, but do some preparation in advance. ”

......

Duanyang, the capital of Xizhou, less than half a day after Ma Daquan came back, the news that Song Zheng of the Leopard Taowei Thousand Households relied on the second ancestor of the family lineage spread.

Ma Daquan smashed three tables in the main hall of the yamen in Zhenshanwei, scolded Song Zheng, and his voice could be heard at the gate of the yamen.

Although there are also various rumors related to Song Zheng from Huzhou, people are still willing to believe what they know from people they know, and there is a saying that "hearing is false", and those rumors cannot change the first impression of Xizhou people on Song Zheng.

Song Zheng said that he was not lying, and the boss of Ishihara River cared for him, and for the "lonely" Song Zheng, he could be regarded as an elder in the family.

Song Zheng was half a day behind Ma Daquan, and after Zhenshanwei returned to Duanyang City, in the evening, they also arrived outside the city.

Xizhou is an alternative among the five states in the south of the Yangtze River, with undulating hills and scattered water systems, and bandits have emerged since ancient times. In the southeast of Duanyang City, the state capital, there is an endless mountain, the mountain is not high, but it is hundreds of miles wide, and the mountain comes out of "Bingxi", which was called "Xishan" in ancient times, so it was named Xizhou.

Propylene tin is a kind of crafting material, which is widely used, and almost all fire-based magic vessels must add this material, so Xizhou was once extremely rich, but six hundred years ago, Xishan was exhausted, leaving only a huge barren mountain full of mining holes, and many mortals mined propylene tin, directly refining ore in the mountains, poisonous water flowed sideways, and no grass grew in the overflowing place.

Every spring and autumn, a piece of yellow sand will be swept up by the wind in the barren tin mountain, which often blows down in Duanyang City, and the people are miserable at this time.

Five hundred years ago, the yamen of the state capital began to organize a major repair in the city, and when the wind and sand were about to rise, it used the means of repairing the truth to suppress the wind.

At first, for the sake of the reputation of the sect, the monks responded one after another, and they were very positive. But after many years, everyone is a little annoyed. And ordinary people have become accustomed to the absence of wind and sand, and if any time the monks move slowly and let the wind and sand rise, they will be scolded by the people, and the monks will not do it.

The state capital yamen had no choice but to set a precedent in Duanyang City, apporting the monks to the "town wind service" - this was the first conscription of the monks in the history of the Hongwu Heavenly Dynasty, which almost caused a Xiuzhen riot, but in the end Long Yiwei was dispatched to subdue the Quartet and make the monks obedient - in fact, it was not very burdensome, and after becoming a town wind service, everyone found that it was actually easier than before, and one sect or family took turns every year, and the rest of the monks did not have to worry about it.

Before Long Yiwei withdrew, Zhenshanwei was set up in Duanyang City.

Although Ma Daquan scolded Song Zheng, he didn't dare not do what Song Zheng confessed. He will send someone to look around, rent a manor outside the city, and send someone to Song Zheng with the lease: "My family has a thousand households, please live in Suliuzhuang." ”

The lease says that the monthly rent is 100 yuanyu.

This price is not low, but it is not worth mentioning for Long Yiwei. But Ma Daquan deliberately disgusted Song Zheng: Don't you want to do business, you can arrange a station for me, you have to pay this rent.

Du Baihu sneered: The fools in Xizhou don't know the methods of my family's thousands of households, this is purely death.

Song Zheng smiled indifferently and ordered: "Okay, then live in Suliuzhuang, and you lead the way in front." In addition, Lao Du, give him a hundred yuan of jade. ”

"Yes. Du Baihu went to a hundred yuan of jade and handed it over, and the small flag of the town mountain guard took it and put it in the mustard finger.

Song Zheng said: "After receiving the money, you must always set up a note for us Leopard Taowei." ”

Xiaoqi pouted secretly: stingy, but he couldn't refuse, so he had to take a pen and paper and write.

Suliuzhuang is only five miles away from Duanyang City, Song Zheng ordered the five hundred lieutenants of the Ti camp to live in it, and he brought Qi Bingchen and Du Baihu, escorted by twenty scouts, into the city and walked around, he couldn't see several inns, and suddenly walked to a quiet small courtyard behind the city wall.

The nine-foot-high white wall is enclosed, the front and back are two gates, a few begonias stretch out of the yard, the towering branches and leaves of the ancient trees are like covers, and a few simple gray tile roofs are arched below.

Song Zheng seemed to take a fancy to it at a glance: "It's good here, go and ask the host if it's rented." ”

"Yes. Du Baihu stepped forward and knocked on the door, but the old servant who guarded the door said impatiently: "Although the master's family doesn't live here, but he doesn't rent it, you go and inquire, my master will lack your money?"

Song Zheng smiled slightly: "If you don't rent it, you can buy it, the price is easy to say." ”

Hearing his tone, the old servant thought for a while and said, "I can't do this thing, and I'll send someone to ask the master's house for a while." ”

Du Baihu had already been secretly instructed by Song Zheng, and said, "Tell your master, our lord bid 30,000 yuan of jade." ”

The old man almost fell: "Really?"

"My lord said yes, go quickly. ”

"Good. The old man's legs and feet suddenly sharpened several times, regained his youth, and flew away. This courtyard is worth more than 1,000 yuan jade at most, and the price is nearly 30 times that of buying it.

Song Zheng and the others waited in front of the small courtyard, casually looking at the surrounding environment.

Ten miles away, on a tall building in Xicheng, in the corner where there was originally nothing, suddenly the light and shadow shook, as if there was a transparent film of water.

He wears a special vestment that conceals his aura and blends in with his surroundings.

Ever since Song Zheng entered the city, he has been rooted in the shadows, and now he has finally found an opportunity.
