After that night, the Great Wilderness Country established an intelligence organization.
It's called Tianji Pavilion.
Yang Sixian became the first master of Tianji Pavilion.
Of course, he is still a bare-bones pavilion master.
On the night when he became the pavilion master, three homing pigeons flew out of the Yuelai Inn in Dahuang City.
Three carrier pigeons flew in three different directions carrying three notes.
One flew to Peach Blossom Island in Guangling City, Ningguo.
One flew to the home of Wu Guodongxucheng. .
Another one flew to Yue Kingdom, and was given to Miss Shen Qianhen, the secret envoy of the Third Privy Council!
Li Chenan still doesn't know about this.
After leaving Yanjing City, they were heading towards Yujing City in Kyoto.
The journey home was not fast. Although autumn was approaching, Li Chenan wrote a letter and asked Zheng Wang to send a spy from the Imperial City Department to Kyoto.
This time he probably wouldn't be able to catch up with Qiu Wei.
The main reason is that he needs to walk around, chat with the common people, and meet some officials.
After returning from the swamp, Mr. Ding Da and two people from the Imperial City Division sent the 10,000 good horses to Yunsu Ranch. They also sent a letter from Li Chenan to Tu Mu.
But Wang Zheng Jinzhong did not come back from that swamp.
He led Chang Sun Han and six others on horseback to the Altai Mountains in the north of Nanxi Prefecture.
This was not an order from Li Chenan, but Wang Zhengjinzhong took the initiative to ask for help.
Li Chenan was quite worried about this, but Wang Zhengjinzhong's words dispelled his worries——
"My subordinates don't have the guts to kill people and set fires!"
"My subordinates just need to take a look and draw a map leading from Yanjing to the Altai Mountains. This will be of great use if one day our Ningguo army can really conquer the Great Wilderness Country!"
"Besides... we have a small number of people, we have fireworks, and our martial arts are pretty good. If we do meet Huang Ren, we can run very fast and it will be difficult for them to catch up."
Li Chenan thought for a while, Wang Zheng Jinzhong was experienced and mature, so he thought there wouldn't be many accidents.
In this way, Wang Zheng Jinzhong and his party of seven people headed north, and Li Chenan and his party of more than a thousand people headed south.
There are no spies from the Imperial City Department in the Great Wilderness Kingdom, so it will be difficult to hear from Wang Zheng Jinzhong and others once they leave.
Li Chenan and his party were so large that when he was about to arrive in Youzhou City, almost the entire Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture was already aware of it.
Of course Tian Xiurong, the prefect of Youzhou City, also knew about it.
…
…
Outside the north gate of Youzhou City.
The late sun was shining brightly, and there were no cars, horses or pedestrians on the official road outside the city.
Even the rice that was about to mature outside the city was lazily losing its vitality in such hot weather.
But Tian Xiurong was waiting outside the city gate with the main officials in the yamen and a hundred or so police officers.
He was wearing an official uniform that had been washed a little white and had many patches. It was really heavy and wrapped so tightly that his whole body was soaked through.
He lifted up his sleeves and wiped the sweat from his face, took a pot of tea from Mr. Wen beside him, pulled out the stopper, and tilted his neck back to take a few big sips.
"ah……"
"What a damn weather!"
"I don't know when the regent will arrive... Let's go under the old locust tree to block the sun."
Tian Xiurong was about to take steps, but Master Wen grabbed him:
"Master, this is inappropriate!"
"...What's wrong?"
"I heard that the regent loved the people. I heard that he came all the way and stayed in farmers' homes. He even went to the fields with those mud-legged poles..."
"Master, think about it, he is the regent!"
"It's a foregone conclusion that he will return to Yujing City and ascend the throne as emperor!"
"With such a noble status, he can go to the fields in the scorching sun... If the master is hiding under a tree to enjoy the cool air, and if the regent happens to bump into him, what will be his first impression of you, master?" "
Tian Xiurong was stunned, stroking the mustache at the corner of his mouth, and rolled his eyes, "You're right!"
"It's just that, sir, I really can't stand it!"
Master Wen cupped his hands and said, "It's only going to be uncomfortable for a while. Wouldn't it be better when he leaves?"
"That's right, he can't possibly stay in Youzhou City for too long!"
Tian Xiurong raised his eyes and looked forward, "After all, ascending the throne as the emperor is more important. It would be best for him to leave tomorrow... By the way, according to your method... wouldn't it be too much for the reception?"
Mr. Wen grinned and rolled up his sleeves to wipe his sweat:
"Isn't he Aimin?"
"Didn't he live and eat in those houses with mud legs and poles?"
"Then I guess he likes that simple meal."
"Everyone in the Northern Desert is poor, and Youzhou is no exception. If I invite him to the Nine Immortals Tower and have a good meal... then he will doubt whether you are a corrupt official!"
"Secondly, if I'm too enthusiastic, I'm afraid I won't get a good deal. Instead, I'll prepare a table of the simplest wild vegetables and so on in the backyard of the government office. At least I won't make any mistakes, right?"
Tian Xiurong wiped his mustache again, "Master is thoughtful, but he also has more than a thousand soldiers..."
Master Wen waved his hand: "Youzhou is very poor, and I am also very poor. How can I entertain so many people?"
Tian Xiurong smiled knowingly: "That makes sense!"
"If you want to act realistically, you have to be part of the drama. Master, I am just a prefect who is too poor to take the blame... By the way, after receiving the regent and his entourage, send someone to Yuping Tower to tell Miss Luo Hong."
"Just tell me, sir, I'm not free these two days. I'll go to her Accord in a few days to give her Luo Hong!"
"That girl... tsk tsk tsk, the madam of Yupinglou still has some skills, and he was able to get such a beauty. It's a pity that the timing is unlucky, so we can only wait for another day."
Master Wen glanced at Magistrate Tian and thought that even at this time, he was still thinking about that matter!
"Sir, the regent established a Youdu County in the north, and he also directly appointed a county magistrate... This Youdu County is under the jurisdiction of Youzhou Prefecture!"
"My subordinate means that after the regent leaves, you should go to Youdu County."
"I have to go see Zhuge Buliang, the magistrate of Youdu County. No matter what, I have to arrange for two people to watch him in Youdu County!"
Tian Xiurong looked impatient, "A place where birds don't poop!"
"A huge amount of money was spent to build an empty city, but I didn't get a penny out of it... To see a poor scholar who fled here... I have to go and see it!"
"Master, it's not just a look."
"What? Do you want me to give him some gifts as a county magistrate?"
"This...this county magistrate is not an ordinary county magistrate!"
Master Wen raised his hand again: "He was personally appointed by the regent!"
"This means that this person is extraordinary and has an excellent relationship with the regent!"
"After the regent ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor, Zhuge Buliang's documents may be heard directly in heaven!"
Tian Xiurong suddenly realized:
"...Then what should I give him?"
