[Seventy-five] King of Xiangyang is super fierce

On the way back, Shen Zhongyuan was missing, and there was a lot of work in the carriage. Apart from Zhang Long, Zhao Huwang and Ma Han, there was only one Zhan Zhao leading the way.

Zhan Zhao lightly got on his horse, and seeing that the last one was also climbing into the carriage slowly, Zhan Zhao whipped his whip and went from the front.

He pretended to be troubled in his heart, but he didn't gallop the horse. After walking a few steps, he vaguely saw a man in white riding in the distance on a big maroon-colored horse. He was dressed in fresh clothes and looked frivolous. He seemed to be on the official road. wait for them.

Zhan Zhao pulled the reins, and the carriage behind also stopped. King Xiangyang couldn't help poking his head out to see what happened, and said, "Why did it stop suddenly?"

Zhan Zhao turned his head and smiled at him, saying, "It seems that a white mouse is blocking the way ahead."

After hearing the words, the King of Xiangyang cheered up immediately, retreated into the carriage, and stood next to Bao Zheng, who had a serious face and kept away from strangers, as if Bao Zheng's upright and dignified face could ward off evil spirits.

Bao Zheng: "???"

Gongsun Ce couldn't help laughing, smiled warmly, and said: "The prince doesn't have to be so afraid of the righteous man Bai, with Zhan's guards, it will naturally protect the prince's safety."

The King of Xiangyang thought about it carefully, and it was indeed the truth, so he relaxed a lot, moved his legs that were just short of holding Bao Zheng's thigh back, and smiled embarrassedly at Bao Zheng: "I'm sorry, Mr. Bao, I'm sorry. The king was nervous for a moment and overstepped."

What can Bao Zheng say?He has been an official for several years, and no one has dared to treat him so unruly, let alone the other party is a prince.

You can't let him go face to face with each other's copy, and tell the emperor, Your Majesty, your uncle clamps the leg of the mansion's thigh, right?

It's refreshing to think about that scene.

Bai Yutang only greeted Zhan Zhao outside the car, and did not speak to the King of Xiangyang. After saying a good journey to Bao Zheng, he rode away with his horse's hooves kicking.

When King Xiangyang lifted the curtain to look out again, he only saw Bai Yutang's white clothes blown up by the wind.

The King of Xiangyang thought that Bai Yutang had come to bid farewell to Zhan Zhao on purpose, and was about to put down the curtain, but he heard Zhan Zhao standing tall and straight on the horse, and slowly said, "Brother Bai is here to bid farewell to the lord, why is the lord?" Why don't you come out and respond?"

King Xiangyang was shocked: "Farewell to this king? Didn't he come to see you?"

Zhan Zhao nodded, holding the rein tightly with both hands, but his eyes were not as bright as before, "Yutang is free to come and go as he pleases, and he has never made a special trip to say goodbye to us."

"It's about the prince... He actually values ​​you very much."

The King of Xiangyang forced a smile, shook his head and said, "No way, he wished to put me to death on the spot before, how could he value me?"

"Guard Zhan, you think too much."

With a casual glance, Zhan Zhao saw the white mouse jade pendant on King Xiangyang's waist, his expression was shocked, and he said, "This is..."

King Xiangyang followed his gaze to look down, picked up the jade pendant, and smiled: "This? It was given to me by Lord Wu, saying that it will be more convenient to go to Xingkong Island in the future."

But he won't go!

Is it not good to live? ? ?

Zhan Zhao nodded, didn't say anything more, raised his whip, and rode to the front to lead the way.

At this time, Sanxing Town was bustling like never before. Early in the morning, before dawn, the common people had already blocked all the streets and alleys. They were standing on the side of the road to welcome Mr. Bao Qingtian who was returning to Kaifeng from Chenzhou.

In the streets and alleys, in teahouses and taverns, wherever there are people, there are people who are embellishing and describing the deeds of Mr. Bao's private visit to Chenzhou Nujiao Anlehou.

However, King Xiangyang, who came to Chenzhou at the beginning under the banner of disaster relief and corruption control, has long been forgotten by people. Only occasionally can you hear a word or two of praise for him, and these words of praise are not from The others are from Yan Chasan's mother and son.

In the county government office, the county magistrate was also so busy that he kept his feet on the ground, and personally ordered the guards to escort Jiang Wan to the gate of the city to wait for Bao Zheng and others.

That's the majestic governor of Kaifeng, Mr. Bao Qingtian, fortunately, he was only considered as Mr. Bao as a entourage by the prince's side, seeing that he looks dark, he didn't suspect anything.

The county magistrate was so angry that he wanted to slap himself.

"Master... Lord Bao, they are here!" A yamen servant stumbled to the county magistrate, his face flushed red, and the magistrate hurriedly grabbed his arm and said, "Is Jiang Wan under arrest?"

"It's here, it's all here, just waiting for you to pass!"

The county magistrate hurriedly followed the yamen servants to the gate of the city. Bao Zheng opened the curtain and waved hello to the people who welcomed them. The King of Xiangyang couldn't hold back in the carriage, and carefully opened the curtain a little to look at the New Year's scene outside.

As soon as he showed up, someone cheered from the crowd: "It's Mr. Gongsun Ce! We are in the same carriage with Mr. Bao!"

More and more people are talking about it...

"Master Gongsun looks really handsome, fair and clean, he looks like a scholar!"

"That's right, the temperament is not something that can be raised in our backcountry! But this Lord Gongsun looks handsome, but he is a bit too thin. He must be doing business investigations and overworked. You must pay attention to your body!"

"Pay attention to your body, Lord Gongsun!"

King Xiangyang lowered the curtain with a blank expression.

Gongsun Ce, who hadn't shown his face until now, was also a little embarrassed when he heard the discussion outside, raised his hand to cover his mouth and coughed, and said: "People in the town have never seen the real face of the prince, so it is understandable."

Seeing that the King of Xiangyang was silent, Gongsun Ce stretched out his hand and opened the curtain to have a look. Immediately, someone shouted: "There is still a person in the carriage!"

"It must be King Xiangyang!"

"Prince Xiangyang??? Why is he with Mr. Bao and the others? Which one is it? That one is thin and weak, and is it despicable and dull-eyed at first glance?"

"Hey, that's the one! Doesn't look like a nice guy!"

"Maybe the emperor sent him here with Mr. Bao because he wanted Mr. Bao to take good care of him!"

Gongsun Ce also silently lowered the curtain.

Seeing Gongsun Ce's serious expression, King Xiangyang sighed, and patted Gongsun Ce's shoulder: "I'm hurting you, Mr. Gongsun."

The eyes of this group of people are too heavily filtered, which is really heart-wrenching.

Bao Zheng didn't know what happened on their side. Yan Chasan, who had been waiting hard in the crowd, saw their carriage and hurriedly waved to Bao Zheng. After a while, Bao Zheng saw Yan Chasan whose hands were sore from dancing. His eyes lit up, and he said, "Yan Sheng is here too!"

Bao Zheng was very fond of this young man's talent, learning and wisdom before, when he saw him coming, his idea of ​​taking him to Kaifeng as a student became stronger, he turned to Gongsun Ce and said, "Sir, what do you think of Yan Sheng?"

Gongsun Ce was slightly taken aback, thought for a moment, and said solemnly: "This son has both ability and virtue, and his future is immeasurable."

Bao Zheng nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Since Gongsun also thinks he is good, the government intends to bring him back to Kaifeng and take him under his family. Do you have any objections?"

This is Bao Zheng's love for talents. Naturally, Gongsun Ce will not be biased. He smiled slightly and said, "Students will support the adults' decision."

The king of Xiangyang, who was deeply affected by Mr. Gongsun's gentle temperament, was shocked and felt very uncomfortable. Why is Gongsun Ce not a daughter? If he is a woman, what a blessing it would be to marry such a person!

Even if he is a man now, the King of Xiangyang can't help being a little jealous of Bao Zheng, with Gongsun Ce on the left and Zhan Zhao on the right, he is simply a winner in Song Dynasty.

Think about his palace again...

Zhao Dehan's bright smiling face like a chrysanthemum appeared in his mind, and King Xiangyang woke up instantly with a jolt.

Forget it, it's also a virtuous type, and King Xiangyang still prefers Gongsun Ce in his heart.

After all, in such a situation, Gongsun Ce would say that he supported all the decisions made by the lord, and Zhao Dehan would just hug his thigh and cry, not to invite people of unknown origin to the palace.

Bao Zheng gestured to Yan Chasan, indicating to meet him after leaving the city. Yan Chasan wept with joy, and stood on the side of the road wiping his tears with his sleeve. After a while, the carriage arrived at the gate of the city.

Jiang Wan's prison cart had been waiting at the gate of the city for a long time. The King of Xiangyang couldn't bear to see the disheveled and weak Jiang Wan, so he got off the carriage and gave Jiang Wan a bowl of water to drink.

Bao Zhengnian helped Jiang Wan find his way back when he lost his way, and assisted in the investigation. He didn't kill him directly with a tiger's head, but he wanted to take him back to Kaifeng to wait for the Holy Majesty to deal with him.

Jiang Wan has been tortured in the past few days, his home was ransacked, his wife was sent back to his hometown, and only the eight-year-old son was left, and he went back to his hometown with his mother. In fact, Jiang Wan was already alive. enough.

He even more wished that Bao Zheng could kill him directly and have a good time.

It has been a long time since he drank such clean water. Jiang Wan drank the water handed to him by King Xiangyang in one breath, looked up and saw the gentle face of King Xiangyang behind his back, and shed two lines of tears on his mouth inexplicably. .

"My lord... my lord..."

Jiang Wan's face was several times more vicissitudes than at the beginning, but it was much more pleasing to the eye. King Xiangyang saw that his life was indeed miserable, shook his head and sighed: "Don't talk about it, Mr. Jiang, this king will fight for the Holy One, try to save you A capital offense."

Jiang Wan cried so hard that he couldn't speak clearly, knocked his head on the shackles, and made a muffled sound. The King of Xiangyang hurriedly supported his head: "Okay, okay, death penalty is inevitable, and living crime is inevitable. This king can only try his best." And for!".

Jiang Wan: "......"

It's so hard to want to die...it's really hard...
