The Wife is First - 98 Chapter 98 Magistrate

Even though the fourth prince is arrogant and arrogant, he has been studying military science since he was a child. Now that he is being suppressed and beaten by King Huainan, he has no room to fight back, which shows the methods of King Huainan. At the moment of crisis, everyone knew that only King Cheng could contend with it, so the whole court was in favor of King Cheng’s expedition.

“According to my decree, the Fourth Prince Jing Yu will immediately hand over the military power to Jiangnan Commander-in-Chief Lu Zhanpeng, and King Cheng Jingshao will lead his own troops to Huainan!” Emperor Hongzheng took a deep breath, suppressed his anger and issued a series of decrees, requiring Lu Zhanpeng to be in the army. Jing Shao defended Pingjiang City before rushing over and recalled the fourth prince to ask him to return to the capital immediately so as not to embarrass himself in front of King Huainan.

Jing Shao just smiled after receiving the order, and asked General Duofu to immediately prepare Mu Hanzhang’s carriage and pack their luggage. He also asked Hao Dadao to go to Qi County first and bring his soldiers to the south of the city to stand by.

When Mu Hanzhang came back, he saw Jing Shao who was ready to go and the carriage that was packed.

“Wow!” Of course, there was Xiao Huang in the carriage who consciously wanted to follow.

“Why are you bringing a tiger?” Mu Hanzhang looked at the tiger lying on the jade mat with a blanket, and couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Although Jing Shao and Gu Huaiqing had made an appointment, this fight was just a show. Taking him to Jiangnan could be a courtesy, but what was he going to do with Tiger?

“I heard that King Huainan had a lion that was extremely ferocious. I was afraid that I would not be able to control it, so I brought a tiger to suppress the battle.” Jing Shao said seriously.

Tiger? Mu Hanzhang stretched out his hand and poked the tiger’s head. The tiger immediately turned out its white down belly and looked up at him. If you count on this guy to suppress the formation, the entire army will probably be wiped out…

Mu Hanzhang had to go to the palace again to explain that he and Jing Shao were going to Jiangnan. This time the maritime business was just a trial. There were not many officials to be sent, and they had all gone to Jiangnan first, so Mu Hanzhang Just one person. Emperor Hongzheng didn’t say anything. He felt that it would be less troublesome for his frail daughter-in-law to follow Jing Shao and not have to send someone else to protect him.

Because the war was tense and there was no emperor to see him off, Jing Shao went directly to the camp in the south of the city and left with his troops.

The imperial edict from the capital was rushed to the south of the Yangtze River for 800 miles, and within three days it was in the hands of the fourth prince. By the time Jing Shao arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, the fourth prince had already left in despair. Lu Zhanpeng personally resisted the Huainan soldiers in front of the formation. attack.

“You’re finally here.” Lu Zhanpeng took a sip of tea and finally recovered.

Jing Shao looked at Lu Niu’s unshaven look and couldn’t help but laugh at him: “Why are you like Jing Yu, a Huainan king beat the shit out of you?”

“You’re just like Jing Yu!” Lu Zhanpeng rolled his eyes at him, “You don’t even know how incompetent that kid is and how many troops he lost! When I took over this mess, King Huainan’s giant siege trees had already reached the city gate. It’s down!” Thinking about the scene at that time, I still feel frightened.

Mu Hanzhang took Xiao Huang around the house. This house is the new house that Lu Zhanpeng helped buy. It is completely like the scenery of Jiangnan, with every scene at five steps and a pavilion at ten steps, small bridges, flowing water, pavilions, waterside pavilions, bamboo forests and flower bushes. The layers upon layers are just dazzling to see.

Xiao Huang took a fancy to the large garden with a bamboo forest, and rushed over to take it for himself. The servants in the garden were frightened and screamed again and again.

After driving away the chattering Lu Zhanpeng, Jing Shao wandered into the garden to look for his princess. He saw gurgling water surrounding the wooden waterside pavilion. A beauty in green clothes casually leaned on the railing and read quietly, and a black and yellow tiger lay at his feet. Next to me, I slept soundly with my calf in my arms. The setting sun reflected on that handsome side face, looking peaceful and beautiful.

Jing Shao walked over slowly. The wooden waterside pavilion was polished smooth and flat. There were no seats. There were a few soft cushions and a low table scattered on the ground. When he got closer, he realized that his princess was sitting on the ground barefoot, with one white and tender foot stepping on Xiao Huang’s belly. The soft fur covered the top of the foot, making the round toes look a bit pink.

“How is the war outside?” When Mu Hanzhang saw him coming, he put down the book in his hand.

“It’s getting late, and the Huainan Army has gone back to have dinner.” Jing Shao said nonchalantly.

“Luzhou is only thirty miles away from Pingjiang. I’ll go there early tomorrow morning and be back in the evening.” Mu Hanzhang moved his calf, which was warmed by the tiger and was sweating, and was immediately grabbed by Jing Shao and pulled to him. Around yourself.

“No, wait two more days, and I will accompany you when I drive Gu Huaiqing ten miles back.” Jing Shao looked at the foot in his hand with interest, grabbed a furry paw that was sleeping softly, and put it on The tender soles of the feet were lightly scratched.

Mu Hanzhang retracted timidly: “There are officials sent by my father in Luzhou. Why won’t people recognize you when you go?”

“I’ll pretend to be a servant and follow you for a day, and then I’ll ask them to move the business to Pingjiang.” Jing Shao had already planned it. “The front yard of this house is still empty, so I can serve as your yamen envoy.”

“But…ah…” Mu Hanzhang wanted to refute, but Jing Shao carried him on his shoulders.

“It’s getting late. Isn’t it time for Marquis Wenyuan to fulfill his duty as a princess?” Jing Shao held down the man who was struggling to get off, and slapped him on the butt.

The next day, Jing Shao repeatedly told Mu Hanzhang not to go to Luzhou, so he rode Xiao Hei to the front of the battle.

When nothing happened, Mu Hanzhang took out a pamphlet and read it. This was what he asked Ge Ruoyi to write when he was about to write the maritime business charter. The Ge family has been doing maritime business for generations, so they naturally know a lot about it. I originally thought of bringing Ge Ruoyi over, but Lin’er was still young and the Beiwei Hou Mansion was not peaceful, so I had to keep her there.

Not long after, I heard someone coming to report that someone wanted to see Marquis Wenyuan.

“Do you know who is coming?” Mu Hanzhang frowned. He didn’t know many people in Jiangnan.

“That man claimed to be the magistrate of Luzhou County.” The servant replied honestly.

Magistrate of Luzhou County? How can a small county magistrate be so well-informed? Mu Hanzhang stood up and said, “Let him wait in the main hall.”

When Mu Hanzhang changed his clothes and went to the main hall to see the so-called magistrate of Luzhou County, he couldn’t help but froze on the spot: “Brother Zhaoran!”

The person who came was none other than Qin Zhaoran, this year’s new top scorer. Mu Hanzhang had not seen him since the time they met at the Qionglin Banquet. I heard that he asked himself to be the parent official, but he didn’t expect that he did it. Magistrate of Luzhou County.

Qin Zhaoran looked at him steadily for a moment, then came back to his senses, covered up the bitterness in his eyes, and bowed and saluted: “I have met Marquis Wenyuan.”
