Chapter 133 Two counties (Part 1)
The next day, it was sunny and the sky was just bright.
It was still a bit dark on the road, and officials from the secretary's cabinet had already rushed over to work.
The oil lamp lit up due to the lighting swayed in the hall before Chaohui first appeared.
Until thirty people arrived, Wang Hongyi's figure appeared in the secretary's cabinet. At the same time, Chaohui jumped up, and the light outside the door suddenly increased, and the palace servants hurriedly blew out the oil lamp.
The official hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, calling the lord.
"Is there any news coming back to the messenger who sent the Dragon Sword?" Wang Hongyi asked while sitting in the main seat. He rushed the messenger yesterday and detained the map. This was a killing two birds with one stone.
The rejection of the King of Qin seemed to indicate that he was not involved in Guanzhong, but the map also indicated that he had hope, which made the messenger unable to figure it out.
But the map has been obtained, so there are naturally benefits.
Zhang Youzhi, who was in charge of this matter, quickly stepped forward and replied: "Lord, no news has been sent back yet."
"As soon as there is news, I will know about you." Wang Hongyi said.
"No." Zhang Youzhi retreated aside.
At this time, Zhang Yuwen came out and reported to Wang Hongyi: "Report to the lord, the imperial envoy sent a palace servant to ask me this morning about your decision. I told him that you are busy with official duties these days, and I will give him a reply after these days."
"Well, you did a great job." Wang Hongyi nodded.
It is indeed difficult to reply to the messenger at this time.
Wang Hongyi is waiting for news about Long Jian.
At this time, the area of the Dragon Sword was no different on the surface from the past, and there was undercurrent in secret.
Nanjiao County Qifeng Town
This is a small town at the junction of Nanjiao County and Yizhou.
The surroundings of the town are blocked by ditches made of live water. Both suspension bridges are raised high and the walls are very high. Here, there is a checkpoint in Nanjiao County.
There are two gates in front and behind the town. As soon as the back door comes out, you will walk straight along the official road and lead to the county town nearest to the border of Nanjiao County. When you come out from the gate in front and cross a mountain, it is the boundary of Yizhou.
The relationship between Nanjiao County and Yizhou was very subtle at this time. Because the two sides did not start a war, the caravans on both sides could still communicate with each other.
However, neither side will relax their vigilance for the suspicious person.
This day, the sun shines brightly, and it is a rare sunny day.
There are many merchants coming and going in this small town, and there are also some people who are looking for relatives and friends.
A team came from the other side of the town road, attracting a lot of attention.
This is a team of about forty people. Most of them rode tall horses, dressed in strong clothes and weapons. A carriage mixed with them was pulled by two white horses. The carriage was decorated in gorgeous decorations. The horse pulling the carriage was obviously a good horse.
Such a team has rigorous words and deeds, and the horses and vehicles they ride are extraordinary. It is obvious that this is not an ordinary caravan, nor an ordinary people.
In such a border area, it is really a questionable thing that suddenly appears like this.
"Stop!" The team in charge of this level was in charge of this level, and a group of soldiers rushed over and stopped the team. "Who are you? Show the certificate of the level first, and we need to check your team."
"Inspection?" The man in the front line urged the horse to take a few steps and came to him: "What do we need to check?"
"At least let me see if the person in the carriage is a criminal in this county." The team was speaking, his tone of politeness, but the other party's tone was even more unruly.
"I'm afraid this won't work." The man immediately said lightly: "My lord is not something you can watch, just a small checkpoint team."
"What did you say?!" As soon as the words were spoken, the soldiers around them raised their weapons.
They could hear it, and the other party was provocative.
Although the other party did not show off his weapon directly, his eyes also showed unfriendly.
The atmosphere became a little nervous for a while.
"Slow!" The team was suddenly remembering something, and stopped the soldiers on their side. They hurriedly took a few more steps and asked respectfully at the man immediately: "You are a noble man, but you always have to have a certificate to prove your identity, right?"
"Okay." The other party nodded. The team was asking them to show the proof of the inspection just now. They took out something from their arms and shook it in front of the team. The man said, "You should recognize this thing, right?"
"I'm really rude just now. Please come over." As soon as I saw the object, the team immediately turned a stern and ordered the soldiers to make way.
The other party nodded with satisfaction and led the team slowly by.
The soldiers around naturally took this into consideration because they didn't see the specific appearance of the token, so they were all guessing.
"Hey, have you seen that? Those people just passed by are probably coming from there." Several soldiers gathered together, and one of them whispered.
"You mean the Yizhou side? You don't need to say this, you can see it."
"I heard from the brothers in the previous group that the messengers of Yizhou came over, are they afraid they were?"
"Can't it be that the two sides are going to start a war and come over and get a letter of war?" someone said in fear.
As soon as he said that, he was immediately slapped by his companions: "What are you talking nonsense? When did you see our prefect pass by so polite to the enemy?"
"That's right, then what are they here? We don't have to do with the wells there..."
The soldiers at the bottom didn't know the inside story, but it didn't mean that their commanders didn't know the inside story.
Looking at the team walking far away, the thin middle-aged man couldn't help but wipe his forehead sweat.
This is a token of alliance, which is directly issued by the prefect and can be passed. Of course, the most important thing is that this team has received the accurate letter from his cousin who was working in the prefect. It won't take long to come, and here will be under the jurisdiction. If you offend the people there now, you will have to cause some trouble.
"Luckily, I haven't had time to say anything out of the ordinary." He wiped his cold sweat and turned around.
Immediately, the subordinate's whisper made his forehead pop up again: "You, you, you! And you! Become a good job for me! If something happens, be careful of your skin!"
"Yes! Sir!" Several soldiers immediately stood back to their posts and did not dare to talk about anything anymore.
"Sir, you have already left the territory of Nanjiao County." After leaving the level, the man riding horse slowed down, came to the carriage, and whispered.
"Get quicker and go back quickly." The man in the carriage said instructing.
"No." The people outside responded, and the team accelerated and headed far away.
At the same time, a team of people were sent out by the prefect Sun Qingzhi at the gate of the county town of Chengyang County.
"Sun Gong sent the special envoy." Until the troops left, Sun Qingzhi breathed a sigh of relief and ordered his confidant beside him: "Tell me the order that before the special envoy leaves the territory of Chengyang County, be sure to protect the safety of the special envoy. If something goes wrong, let the officials there come to see you."
"promise!"
In the city behind them, a carrier pigeon suddenly spread its wings and flew towards Wudu Town.
"I'm afraid the current situation of this dragon sword is about to be broken." An inaudible sigh arose faintly.
Two days later, on a road in Yizhou, dust was flying, and a group of people and horses were whipping towards Chengdu City not far away.
When they arrived at the city gate, someone stepped forward to stop him. The person who was walking in front of the team showed the documents and was immediately released.
Half an hour later, another team of people entered the city again.
"What's wrong today? What's wrong with the two teams of cavalry? Who is the person sitting in the carriage?" In the restaurant facing the street, the guests next to the window couldn't help but look down.
I can't tell the reason.
The two people sitting in the private room smiled.
"Brother, I just got the news. Both Nanjiao and Chengyang counties have expressed their surrender. However, since we can get the news, I am afraid that if the other two counties of Longjian can get the news, will things be twisted and turns?" Song Heng leaned against the window and looked down.
The faint sunset shines on his body, making him feel a little lazy, and he speaks with a little lazy feeling.
Song Han turned his wine glass and smiled faintly: "The two counties in the southern suburbs and Chengyang are in hostile relationships with the other two counties. They have never fought on weekdays and are constantly in friction. In this case, even if the other counties get news, they will be helpless."
There are still some questions about the Dragon Sword.
"I wonder if the Duke of Shu will march into Qin next?" Song Heng rumbling and poured a glass of wine, his whole body became more and more lazy, but there was a little sharpness in his eyes. "Not everyone can refuse the title of King of Qin. It is rare to be justified. I wonder how the guild of Shu will choose?"
"Second brother, I think you are really drunk." Song Han shook his head: "Duke Shu will not know how troubles there will be to take on this king's name. How could he be a person who was blinded by the immediate interests?"
Looking at the person in front of him, Song Han sighed: "Do you think if you don't say it, you won't know what you are depressed for your brother? These days, people have spread rumors that the Duke of Shu favored his second son, and even the eldest son, are you really convinced these words?"
Without waiting for the other party to answer, Song Han continued: "Not to mention that the Duke of Shu is not the one who favors his concubine and kills his wife, and how much favor does his son have in just a few days of his birth this time? It's all just someone deliberately provoked him."
Song Heng was speechless when asked by his elder brother. So he lowered his head and drank again.
"This is just a fish to hook." Song Han looked out the window and Youyou said finally.
"Okay, let me go back." Speaking of this, Song Han stood up and patted his second brother's shoulder.
"As for the king's case, I believe the Duke of Shu has made some statements." As he said that, he walked out with great strides.
Song Heng put down his wine glass and followed him out.
"Uncle, Second Master." The restaurant owner was serving outside. When he saw two people coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
This is the Song Family Industry, and it is very considerate in service.
When the two left the restaurant, the carriage servant was ready.
When she got on the carriage, Song Hanfang sighed quietly.
These rumor-mongers are probably already noticed by the Thirteenth Sessions. Once they are noticed and suspected by the superiors, they are afraid that they will be a big disaster.
Born in a chaotic world, you can only survive by knowing the times.
