Beihai County.
In the governor's mansion.
In front of Ge Hong, there was a man wearing Chinese clothes sitting.
"I didn't expect that Master Ge's move was so powerful. He didn't waste a single soldier, just a few refugees, and caused chaos in Heyang County."
"I thought I'd go together with Mr. Zhu."
The man used the lid of the tea cup to stir the tea leaves and spoke slowly.
This person is Zhao Da, a subordinate of the governor Zhu Yue.
"Mr. Zhao didn't come here just to compliment me, right?"
"If you have something to say, just say it!"
Ge Hong said lightly.
He himself was very disgusted with the pretentiousness of those around Zhu Yue.
Perhaps it's because Ge Hong also came from the military.
What I hate the most is this way of not saying it directly and having to beat around the bush.
I think I have a lot of power and elusiveness, but who knows about Zhao Zhao’s heart?
It's just a cover-up.
"Master Ge is quite happy!"
"I wonder what Mr. Ge thought about what Mr. Zhu said to Mr. Ge last time?"
"Master Zhu has always been thinking of you."
Zhao Da put the tea cup on the table and said with a smile.
"Since I am speaking out in front of Mr. Zhao, I am doing this just for Mr. Zhu!"
"Don't you know, Mr. Zhu?"
Ge Hong asked with raised eyebrows.
"Haha, Lord Zhu naturally sees Lord Ge's loyalty."
"But I seem to have heard recently that Master Ge's brother-in-law died in Sanhe County?"
"I heard that he was killed by Chen Dadao's men?"
Zhao Dapi said with a smile.
The meaning is obviously obvious. You Ge Hong wants to deal with Heyang County just for personal revenge, but you use it to take credit. It is really shameless.
"snort!"
"That piece of trash is not worth mentioning at all!"
"You really don't think I'm going to such a big fight for that trash, do you?"
"General Fan has been very kind to me, and Chen Dadao is also my colleague!"
"What I did was treacherous!"
"But I don't have to do this. Even if you take down other counties, I, Beihai County, can still ignore anyone."
Ge Hong said coldly.
"That's that!"
"Master Ge, please don't misunderstand me."
"Master Zhu naturally knows these things."
"But the governor's power is not only in Hezhou, and what he is planning is not just a prince."
"Of course I won't be able to treat Mr. Ge badly in the future."
Zhao Da saw Ge Hong slightly angry and said quickly.
"What are Mr. Zhu's plans later?"
"Now Heyang County is in chaos, and near Sanhe County, there are also rebels entrenched in Erlong Mountain. No matter what you do, it is very convenient."
Ge Hong asked, tapping the table with his finger.
"Of course there is. As for matters in Sanhe County, Mr. Ge doesn't need to worry."
"That magistrate won't live long."
Zhao Da said gloomily.
"Um?"
"What's the meaning?"
"Speak directly if you have something to say, don't hide it!"
Ge Hong said very dissatisfied.
"To be honest, Master Zhu sent an assassin to kill the county magistrate some time ago."
"But luckily he escaped."
"This time, absolutely not."
Zhao said with a smile.
"What?"
"Assassinate the magistrate of Sanhe County?"
Ge Hong was a little surprised, but then became furious.
"you!"
"The governor is really good at it!"
Ge Hong said through gritted teeth.
Before.
The governor once sent someone to assassinate Chen Dadao, with the purpose of causing chaos in Heyang County, and at the same time, blaming Dong County.
The bandits who entered Heyang County at that time all passed through Dong County.
And this time.
Everyone knows that the previous magistrate of Sanhe County was his brother-in-law.
He was killed by Chen Dadao's men.
If the newly appointed county magistrate is assassinated, everyone will definitely think that it was Ge Hong of Beihai County who did it!
Thus.
Heyang County and Beihai County are mortal enemies.
And he, Ge Hong, also stood on the opposite side of Fanzhou Mu, forcing him to defect to Zhu Yue.
And looking at it according to time.
Before and after Zhang Bao was assassinated, it was when he hesitated!
This governor Zhu Yue is really a master of serial schemes!
"Don't be angry, sir. The governor is doing this for your own sake."
"Soon, the new county magistrate will receive an imperial edict. He will commit suicide for personal reasons, massacre the refugees, and then arrest him and bring him to Beijing to plead guilty."
"If you go, you will die. If you don't go, you will be disobeying the decree!"
"Then the entire Sanhe County will rebel."
"This is Master Zhu's sincerity, and it can also help you."
Zhao Da also stood up and spoke slowly to Ge Hong.
After hearing what Zhao Da said.
Ge Hong couldn't help but be surprised.
I didn't expect that Zhu Yue would have such a powerful position in the court!
It seems that the power behind Zhu Yue is far beyond his imagination.
It would not be bad if we could take advantage of the general trend of the governor.
"In this case, the governor does not need to worry about the affairs of Heyang County."
"I know what to do."
Ge Hong said to Zhao Da.
"By the way, I wonder what's going on with General Fan now?"
"Master Governor, please don't take it lightly, don't underestimate General Fan!"
Ge Hong thought for a while and asked Zhao Da again.
"General Fan?"
"Hahaha, you don't need to worry. The governor has already made arrangements."
"When the time comes, I will give Master Ge a surprise."
…
The county seat of Sanhe County.
After this battle, although the rebels died and escaped, they no longer posed any threat to the county government.
But this time the county government was also severely damaged.
Zhang Bao and the others were fine, but they were knocked unconscious by the high temperature and toxic smoke.
Fortunately, they blocked the entrance of the cave with rocks.
There are also water pools that have blocked many fires.
Only then survived.
But they also spent several days in bed before they could get out of bed and walk.
The most injured.
Still Hudugu.
Hudugu was not only injured by several gunpowder packets, but also fell directly from the cliff.
Still unconscious.
Sister-in-law Hu and Erile stayed by Hu Dugu's side all day and night.
But according to the doctor.
Hudugu's body is very strong. He survived the previous dangerous period and I believe he will slowly wake up.
Regarding Erile sneaking out.
Zhang Bao didn't blame him too much.
After all, if you want to grow, you need to experience life and death.
Zhang Bao and Lao He admired Zhang Bao and Lao He for being so responsible and accomplished!
Especially Lao He.
After hearing that Erile killed the leader of the rebel army.
He even laughed loudly and kept praising Erile, and was very satisfied with his apprentice!
but.
However, I was whipped several times by Mrs. Hu.
After discovering that Erile and his dagger were missing, Mrs. Hu cried and fainted.
She naturally knew what Erile was doing.
Good thing.
Both are back...
But for everyone.
The joy of being rescued and reunited was completely washed away by the sacrifices of Sun Ming and others.
Even Su Xiaoyue and Ma Yan'er have only been silently by Zhang Bao's side recently.
Very few words were spoken.
"Xiaoyue, bring me a jar of the wine from before."
"I'm going out for a walk..."
Zhang Bao said to Su Xiaoyue.
Su Xiaoyue quickly fetched a jar and was about to ask Zhang Bao where he was going.
But Ma Yan'er pulled her sleeve.
He shook his head gently.
Zhang Bao walked out of the Yamen carrying wine.
Along the way, everyone they met took the initiative to say hello to Zhang Bao and say hello.
Zhang Bao nodded slightly and walked out of the city gate.
It's spring now.
The wind blew on my face, and the chilling feeling was gone.
It makes people feel very warm.
Very warm.
Looking around, among the lush greenery, there are several black and bare mountains that are very eye-catching.
Zhang Bao took a deep breath.
Carrying the wine, he walked in the direction of Mountain Wolf Valley.
