Luo Chuan looked across the lake at the banquet living room of Fangzhai. Zhou Zhongqing was obviously receiving someone, so he had no intention of going over and just waited on this side of the lake.
Zhou Zhongqing had obviously seen Luo Chuan, but he was not in a hurry to dismiss the guests in front of him. He still politely comforted them and saw them off politely.
After sending the person away, he turned around and walked quickly towards the rockery where Luo Chuan was. When he saw Luo Chuan, he saluted and said, "My lord, I have met the prefect."
"No courtesy," Luo Chuan smiled and raised his hand, and a warm feeling helped Zhou Zhongqing up, "I came to Fangzhai to see how the situation is, and to meet Mr. Zhou by the way. Have you met Mr. Zhou here? What’s the embarrassing thing?”
Zhou Zhongqing said, "Returning to the prefect, I have invited all the noble families of Yicheng to gather together. The county supervisor Wang Laojun and Sun Zhongwen Laojun came in person. With those two role models in front, other families will also follow suit. There is nothing to say, loyalty is a matter of course." He finally turned his eyes and looked at Meng Sanshu, who was standing behind Luo Chuan, and said to Luo Chuan, "Thanks to Mr. Meng's help, things turned out like this. So smooth."
Luo Chuan ignored Zhou Zhongqing's praise for Meng Sanshu, but said, "Right now, my army is here, overtly and covertly, with many masters. Showing loyalty is not a difficult choice for those from these noble families. Things, but today, I will unblock the whole city, and tomorrow, I will lead the army south. When we and the Nanyi are entangled in bloody battles on the battlefield, and even have a victory or defeat, until there are frequent changes in Xingcheng and the ancient city to the north of Yicheng. , even if the army approaches Yicheng, then if you can still die for me, or even if you just stand firmly on our side, then you are a true traveler.".bμν.
"Master Zhou, if you want to go with us, you need determination," Luo Chuan looked at Zhou Zhongqing and said calmly, "You have to be like Wang Quanhu, who will tie the Wang family's hundreds of years of loyalty and bravery to Lijun, and risk the lives of his descendants and confidants. The lives of my subordinates are tied to me, Luochuan, and that is when I truly make a choice."
"Yicheng is no longer the capital of a county. We don't need too many people staying here." Luo Chuan looked at the rockery beside him. "Although most of the remaining families are based in Yicheng, that has nothing to do with me. , if Mr. Zhou feels that any family is at risk, you can name it to me before the army goes south tomorrow, and I will issue an edict to move their family to Ganyuan. I don't want the army to go south and be uneasy behind them. "
After hearing this, Zhou Zhongqing bowed and said yes, and then asked, "I obey the order of the prefect. May I ask, the prefect, if you lead the army south tomorrow, who will be left to guard Yicheng?"
Luo Chuan said, "General Chen Shaoxiong and Chen Pi will be ordered to stay behind."
"In this way, Yicheng and Tongcang Shou can form a line and build a line of defense together," Zhou Zhongqing muttered to himself and then bowed, "In this case, I would like to ask you to stay in Yicheng and temporarily take over the post of Yicheng County guard as the Grand Administrator. After leading the army south, stabilize the rear."
Luo Chuan looked at Zhou Zhongqing with a strange expression and asked directly, "If it wasn't Chen Shaoxiong who was guarding Yicheng, Master Zhou wouldn't be willing to stay?"
Zhou Zhongqing smiled bitterly and said, "If the prefect orders me to stay, no matter who is guarding Yicheng, I will definitely stay. But if the prefect does not give an explicit order, and the person guarding Yicheng is Zhang Zifeng, Lu Dongfeng's subordinate, then I will have no choice but to Please go south with the army..."
Luo Chuan became more and more surprised and asked, "Master Zhou and Zhang Zifeng have a problem?"
Zhou Zhongqing looked embarrassed, but did not dare to hide it, saying, "I have nothing to do with Zhang Zifeng, but there are a lot of disagreements between me and Lu Dongfeng, and Zhang Zifeng is famous for being a stupid young man. , I am now alone here, even if he sends people to beat me up secretly, there is really nothing I can do. When the news comes back to Li City, I... will not be able to live without shame..."
Luo Chuan's mouth opened wide when he heard this, and he was speechless for a moment. He just felt that it was extremely ridiculous. After a while, he took a deep breath and said, "Master Zhou, are you kidding me? You are my eighth son from Lijun County." The chief clerk of the Jing Dynasty is the second most important civil servant in the court. Even General Lu must treat him with courtesy. How dare you... Zhang Zifeng...?! "
Zhou Zhongqing had a look of dissatisfaction on his face and said in a hateful voice, "The governor doesn't know something. Lu Dongfeng is the most indulgent of his subordinates. When Zhang Zifeng entered the palace to meet the former governor, he
The then supervisory adjutant was beaten to the point of breaking bones and tendons in front of the prefect's palace in front of everyone, because he had said in the court that General Lu was bending the law for personal gain. This matter had caused a huge uproar at first, and I... "
"Okay, okay," Luo Chuan immediately stretched out his hand to stop Zhou Zhongqing from talking, and said angrily, "Master Zhou, is now the time to bring up these old things again?!"
Zhou Zhongqing immediately bowed his head and confessed.
Luo Chuan didn't want to pay attention to him for a while, turned around and left, walked out a few steps and then came back, saying to Zhou Zhongqing, "Master Zhou, now you are the governor of Yicheng County. Make a list
.qgν.Give it to me. I’m going south early tomorrow morning. I’ll plan it out before then. Is there any problem? "
Zhou Zhongqing heard this and said calmly, "No problem."
Luo Chuan looked a little angry at his appearance, turned around and walked away. After walking out for a while, he came back. Seeing Zhou Zhongqing still standing there waiting, as if he was sure he would come back, he stared at him and asked the person behind him The shadow said, "Who was originally sent to guard Mr. Zhou?"
The shadow did not answer when he heard this, but turned to look at the shadow under a tree not far away. A man wearing black tights walked out of it. After a few steps, he knelt down in front of Luo Chuan, " My subordinate Dulong has met the prefect."
"Dulong?" Luo Chuan thought for a moment and remembered the information about this person in the ANBU. He pointed at the man in black and said to Zhou Zhongqing, "Master Zhou, even if Zhang Zifeng comes in person, he can't do anything to you. He turned to Meng San who was silent and said, "Find two more people from ignorance to come to Mr. Zhou."
Meng Sanshu bowed and said yes.
Luo Chuan asked Zhou Zhongqing, "In this case, Master Zhou may feel at ease?"
Zhou Zhongqing smiled and bowed, "I can rest assured."
Luochuan sighed helplessly, turned around and walked towards the outside of Fang's house this time, and never looked back. .qgν.
When he walked out of Fangzhai, Luo Chuan finally couldn't hold it back. He stopped and turned around to ask Shadow, "Did Zhang Zifeng really beat up an important minister like the supervisory adjutant in front of the gate of the prefect's palace?!"
Shadow nodded.
The breath Luochuan took in was not breathed out for a long time, "Then...then how did he deal with it?!"
Shadow said, "Three years' salary and fifty lashes."
Luo Chuan suddenly laughed angrily, and then shook his head helplessly, "Our Lord Zhou is really..." He looked at Meng Sanshu and asked, "Sanshu, what do you think our Lord Zhou is like?" people?"
Meng Sanshu lowered his head slightly and said, "He is an official and a capable official."
Luo Chuan smiled and said, "Are you afraid that Mr. Zhou will take notice of you when you say this?"
Meng Sanshu shook his head, "Master Zhou is very accurate in judging people. He speaks and acts very appropriately. He is neither arrogant nor cowardly. He has an excellent sense of proportion. The prefect put him in the position of chief official. It is suitable."
"After all, he comes from a powerful family. That's all. It's not surprising." Luo Chuan looked outside the door of Fang's house. He could already hear the voice of the palace waiter coming from the distant streets, talking about the lifting of the ban on the whole city, " Tell me, that former Yicheng general Xu Lin, do you want me to meet him?"
