For Kong Yinjing, who wanted to rush back to Qufu, everything on the road could no longer attract his attention, and he only wanted to return to Qufu as soon as possible.
The four hooves of the horse under the crotch are as fast as flying.
Even so, Kong Yinjing continued to slap the thick flesh of the horse's buttocks, trying to urge the horse to run faster.
"Master, master, ahead, ahead." The boy who was following on horseback didn't know what he saw. He shouted in horror, and at the same time subconsciously controlled the horse to speed down.
However, the horse was galloping, and Kong Yinjing could only hear the whistling of the wind. The young man's voice could not be heard at all, and his companions were all covered up by the wind.
However, Kong Yinjing still stopped.
Because he saw that there was a fence set up right in front of the road, and there were people guarding it on both sides.
Kong Yinjing frowned. When he came out of Qufu, there were no such things on this road. When he was about to return to Qufu, there was a temporary checkpoint.
"Master, what's going on?" The boy came up and asked.
Kong Yinjing said nothing, but his expression was very ugly.
He knew without even thinking that only those with the Tiger Character Flag would be so bold as to set up checkpoints outside Qufu City.
"You go over and ask what's going on?" Kong Yinjing asked his servant to inquire about the situation.
The boy urged him forward.
The place where the two men stopped was a few hundred steps away from the previous checkpoint.
Soon, the boy came to the front of the level.
"Masters, we are from the Kong family. Can you move the Luzhai on the road and let us go there first?" the young man said in a very polite tone.
】
After what happened in Ziyang City before, he knew that Kong's face was of no use in front of the people of the Tiger Flag, and he was afraid of offending them and losing his life here.
After all, in his opinion, people like Tiger Flag were a group of rebels.
The government will sometimes be reasonable, but the rebels always speak with the handle of a knife.
"Are you from the Kong family? Are you coming back from Ziyang City?" The person who spoke was a soldier squad leader.
This level is where he was ordered to set up.
"Yes, yes, our master just came back from Ziyang City. Before he came back, he met your General Qin. He was in the former Guard Command Yamen." The boy started to establish a relationship with him.
He felt that someone who could come out of the former Wei Commander's Office would be a big shot in the Tiger Flag.
"General Qin?" The squad leader was stunned for a moment, then thought of something and said, "The person you are talking about is our Chief of Staff Qin, right?"
The guard commander Yamen who appeared in Ziyang City also had the surname Qin. He thought of the chief of staff of his war division.
"Chief of Staff!" The boy was stunned by such a strange title.
Then I thought that these people were all rebels, and it was normal for them to have any strange titles. A few years ago, there was a Zhongxing Fulie Emperor in Shandong, and his reign was called Mahayana Prosperity.
"I'm telling you, sir, there's no need to hide so far away. No one will stop you if you want to get there." The captain glanced at Kong Yinjing in the distance, then ordered his soldiers, "Move away from Luzhai. Let them pass."
Several soldiers on the side stepped forward, and the two of them worked together to lift one and move the Luzhai blocking the road to the side of the road, revealing a passable passage.
The boy rode back to Kong Yinjing's side.
"Master, you can pass."
"Didn't they say anything? Just let us go?"
"I didn't say, I just can go there. Maybe I know that you are a member of the Kong family and don't dare to offend us."
Kong Yinjing didn't quite believe it when he heard this explanation, but at this time he was in a hurry to return to Qufu and couldn't think too much.
Now that the time has passed, I naturally want to go back to Qufu as soon as possible.
drive!
Kong Yinjing dismounted his horse and passed through the checkpoint, heading straight to Qufu.
The checkpoint is not far from Qufu.
"Carry everyone back to Luzhai. Remember, we can let people from outside go to Qufu, but we must not let people from Qufu leave from us." The team leader said to the soldiers guarding the checkpoint.
"yes."
Everyone responded in unison.
Kong Yinjing encountered nothing special the rest of the way and returned to Qufu City smoothly.
Qufu is nominally a county seat under the rule of the Ming Dynasty. However, from the county magistrate to the police officers below, almost everyone in Qufu is from the Kong family. Even if the surname is not Kong, they are inextricably related to the Kong family.
Moreover, county magistrates are all served by people from the Kong family, and the court will not send officials to take over as county magistrates.
But Kong could no longer station troops in Qufu.
The Ming Dynasty would not allow the Kong family to have military power over Qufu after gaining local power in Qufu.
There were not many defenders in Qufu, far less than the number of defenders in the city before the fall of Ziyang City.
"Master Six is back."
The news that Kong Yinjing had returned to Qufu soon reached the ears of Yan Shenggong and several clan elders.
And the first time he came back, he went straight to Yan Shenggong.
Not only him, but other clan elders also rushed to Duke Yan Sheng to see him after learning the news of his return.
It is related to how Kong and Hu Ziqi will get along in the future, and it is also related to the vital interests of each of them. No one dares to take it seriously.
And this time, it was also the time when Kong Yinjing received the most attention in Kong's history.
When the elders of the Kong clan arrived, Yan Shenggong was sitting on the Grand Master's chair in the middle with a gloomy face.
"Sixth brother, tell everyone about it!"
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Duke Yansheng spoke directly to Kong Yinjing.
At this time, everyone's eyes were turned to Kong Yinjing.
Kong Yinjing first saluted several clan elders respectively, and he knew what these clan elders were most concerned about, so he said directly: "This time I went to Ziyang City and did not see the tiger thief general named Chen Xunping, but I did. The tiger thief was sent to Ziyang to take office as the magistrate."
"Don't talk nonsense, tell me directly, have the tiger thieves promised to withdraw the cavalry outside Qufu City?" Cui, an elder of the clan, couldn't help but asked.
Kong Yin shook his head respectfully at the clan elder and said at the same time: "Not only did the tiger thieves not agree to evacuate the cavalry outside the city, but they also set up checkpoints on the official road away from Qufu that they did not want."
Snapped!
"What do these thieves want to do? Don't they know this is the land of saints?" An old clan member slapped the table with his hand angrily.
At this time, Yan Shenggong, who was sitting on the main seat, said: "Second uncle, don't worry, let sixth brother finish his words first."
"Okay, I'll just listen to what he has to say." The elder sat back on his seat and said to Kong Yinjing, "Continue talking and let me know how courageous these rebels are. How dare they Blocking the road to Qufu.”
"Continue, let the clan elders know what the tiger thief will do to our Kong family next." Duke Yansheng motioned to Kong Yinjing to continue.
