Zhang Bao was stunned.
No one else will know what they are doing in Dongzhou.
Who on earth actually knows that he is in this state pastoral mansion?
Zhang Bao was shocked.
I remembered the mysterious intelligence organization from before. Could it be those people? But this time it’s a man. Didn’t they all have women delivering letters before?
Zhang Bao opened the letter in confusion.
"Zhangzhou Mu, I am Zheng Shiqi of the Zheng family, and I have come to Ding to help you!"
Just one short line.
"A member of the Zheng family?"
"How did they know we were in Dongzhou?"
Zhang Bao was very puzzled.
"Bring me in!"
Zhang Bao thought for a while, since everyone is here and there is no way to hide, he might as well call in and ask.
After a while, a tall, thin middle-aged man was brought in.
"Dongzhou Zheng Shiqi, meet Zhangzhou Mu!"
As soon as the visitor came in, he gave Zhang Bao a big salute.
"A member of the Zheng family?"
"Why do you know I'm here?"
"What are you doing here again?"
Zhang Bao asked the man.
"Reporting to your lord, I am following the orders of the family leader to cooperate with you as much as possible in Dongzhou."
"This time I know that your Excellency is in the Prefectural Mufu Mansion because I received a letter, so I sent someone here to have a look. Only then did I confirm that Your Excellency is here."
As Zheng Shiqi spoke, he took out another letter, as if he had known that Zhang Bao would ask such a question.
Zhang Bao took it and took a look.
"Zhang Bao of Hezhou is in the Prefectural Mufu of Jimo County."
The handwriting is beautiful, obviously written by a woman.
Before that, people from the Zheng family in various places in Daxia had received news from the new head of the Zheng family, Zheng Kongliang, asking them to use their local advantages as much as possible to assist Zhang Bao.
It was also for this reason that Zheng Tong from Liaozhou gave a lot of money and food to Fu Mingli and the others in Liaozhou.
Since the Zheng family has decided to seek refuge with Zhang Bao, they naturally have to show their sincerity.
Zheng Shiqi of Dongzhou, who originally didn't know about Zhang Bao's coming to Dongzhou and was worried about Yang Qian's desperate attack on Hezhou, suddenly received such a letter.
Although Zheng Shiqi was very confused, he still sent people to Jimo County to inquire about the news. This inquiry was not a big deal, and indeed many strange things were discovered in Jimo County.
If he didn't know the news, he might not think about it in this regard, but after Zheng Shiqi knew the news and thought about the recent events in Jimo County, he was basically sure.
What's more, everything that happened in the military camp outside the State Mufu's Mansion last night was seen by the Zheng family.
Only then did Zheng Shiqi decide to take the risk and give it a try.
Sure enough, I saw Zhang Bao.
"You want to help me?"
"what can you do?"
Zhang Bao asked Zheng Shiqi.
"Our Zheng family has been working in Dongzhou for many years and already has several salt roads leading to Jeju, Hezhou and Liaozhou."
"Although the salt road to Hezhou has been blocked, the roads from Jeju to Liaozhou are open. We can deliver the message for you, or we can cover your evacuation!"
Zheng Shiqi is also a smart man, and he can understand the current situation in Dongzhou at a glance.
If Zhang Bao and the others continue to stay here, they will be in danger later.
Zhang Bao looked at Zheng Shiqi in front of him, quite undecided. Faced with Zheng Shiqi who came to the door on his own initiative, Zhang Bao hesitated.
He knew that there was no such thing as pie in the sky. Although the Zheng family had shown goodwill many times before, Zhang Bao always felt a little grudge.
It was hard for him to imagine that he would kill the head of the Zheng family and severely slap the face of the Zheng family.
The Zheng family actually thought not of revenge, but of surrender.
This puzzled Zhang Bao.
Isn't this too bloodless?
If such a simple emphasis is placed on profit, then the Zheng family will be nothing more than grass on the wall, like a wolf raised around them that will never be fully reared.
Zhang Bao didn't dare to try easily, so he kept holding on to the Zheng family.
To be honest, Zhang Bao is not afraid of the Zheng family's revenge, he is not afraid of too many opponents, and he is not afraid of too many lice.
But you are afraid of someone like you who treats him as a friend and then stabs you in the back. For such a person, it is better for you to stay where you are and stay cool in the first place!
But Zhang Bao looked at the letter in his hand.
This mysterious organization has no ill intentions towards him, and the help he has received so many times is very crucial.
Since they can find Zheng Shiqi, it means that in their opinion, this Zheng Shiqi can be helpful to them, and at least he is trustworthy.
In this case.
It’s better to give it a try!
"Let your people lead us to Liaozhou!"
"Let's go back to Hezhou from Liaozhou!"
Zhang Bao said to Zheng Shiqi.
"Yes! Sir!"
"I'll go back and make arrangements right away!"
"I wonder when the adults will start taking action?"
Zheng Shiqi was overjoyed. Zhang Bao agreed to use the Zheng family's help, which was a kind of recognition. Whether Zhang Baocheng admitted it or not, the Zheng family was considered to be helping.
"immediately!"
Zhang Bao said lightly.
"this……"
"yes!"
Zheng Shiqi hesitated for a moment, then quickly excused himself and walked out.
"Uncle He, immediately pull out all the valuable things and prepare to evacuate!"
"There is nothing to be embarrassed about at this time. Take away everything you can! Dismantle what needs to be dismantled, and move what needs to be moved."
Zhang Bao yelled at Lao He.
"okay!"
"Master, just watch it!"
"I won't leave them a penny!"
Lao He rolled up his sleeves and called on the women's kitchen knife brigade to take action.
"Bai Fang, immediately select capable people and go to various places where grain and grass are stored around the county. Order them all, and don't leave any for them!"
"If anyone dares to stop him, kill him directly!"
"There is no need to hide and tuck in at this time!"
Zhang Bao said to Bai Fang again.
"Yes, sir!"
"But we still have Yang Gan and another general under our command. What should we do with these two people?"
Bai Fang asked Zhang Bao.
"killed!"
"The person who can be sent back to investigate the truth at this time must be someone they trust. It is difficult for such a person to instigate rebellion. If they are kept, they will be a hidden danger!"
"As for Yang Gan, since he has to be withdrawn, there is no point in keeping him. The state pastor and the governor have been killed. I believe there will be chaos in Dongzhou for a while. When we come to attack, it will be much more convenient."
"Kill them all!"
"Besides, after Uncle He and the others finish cleaning up, set a fire in the Prefecture Mufu to hold them back and buy us some time!"
Zhang Bao said to Bai Fang.
"yes!"
Bai Fang cupped his hands and walked out.
Late that night.
Fires broke out in many places throughout Jimo County at the same time, and all the food and grass were burned. In the light of the fire, a group of people took advantage of the darkness and quietly headed north to Liaozhou.
At the same time, a fire broke out in the state pastoral office, and the fire burned until dawn...
