C40 First Exercise

Pang Ying's office was located in the second main hall. Dongfang Zhongyue, Yue Jiangchuan and seven other flag officials were also rushing over.

Pang Ying looked at the crowd and said, "There's a message from the Ministry of Government this morning. Yuan Zhou is too loyal to Yang Ren's order, and the local commandant of the Ministry of War also refused to respond. Chengzu Emperor ordered us to clear up the situation and capture Yang Ren and bring him back to the capital to ask, which flag is willing to go to Yuan Zhou?"

The eight people in the hall looked at each other and did not respond. If the local army was not responding because they were guarding too well, it meant that they were going to rebel! Everyone knew that this place had to have at least five thousand six hundred people under it. A mere flag and eleven people? Isn't that just courting death!

Seeing that no one answered her, Pang Ying became slightly annoyed and said loudly, "You are the elites of my Embroidered Uniform Guard, how can you be so timid?" Dongfang Zhongyu had wanted to follow Wang Zhenliang's words and steal the first piece of credit from Jian Si, but he never thought that it would be such a case.

Seeing that there was still no response, Ji Gang said, "You don't have to worry too much. At present, Yuan Zhou hasn't made any other movements. I told you to arrest the officer who defied orders and not fight against the rebel army. Hehe … If that's the case, we shall send the three armies to the capital. "

Everyone thought to themselves, "There's no army at the moment. Don't tell me those who captured Yang Ren are still not coming?" Only a fool would be captured without holding back! Even if the local troops were not taken into account, the Residence of Great Defend did not have a guard, nor did it have officials …

"I'm willing to go!" Wang Tianwei suddenly raised his hand and said, "mega-man, I'm willing to lead Brother Feng Ying to bring Yang Ren back!" Pang Ying saw that he did not comment, so she asked again, "Is there anyone else who would like to go?"

Previously, when he asked which one of them was willing to go, he intended to only send one flagman to Yuan Zhou. However, he didn't agree to Wang Tianwei's invitation. Obviously, he didn't trust Wang Tianwei. Dongfang Zhongyu saw the slight movement of Yang Zhongkun's shoulders and immediately shouted out: "I am willing to go!"

Yang Zhongkun gritted his teeth and thought, "This bastard is always going against me!" After asking for a long time, he remained silent. I wanted to show you that I'm going to rush out …

"Alright!" Pang Ying was very happy, and her eyes were filled with gratification as she looked at Dongfang Zhongyue, "I'll send you the 'Heavenly Flag'! "Zhong Yu, this is the first case in North Town. You have to do it well!" Dongfang Zhongyue nodded and replied: "Please rest assured mega-man."

Wang Tianwei took the initiative to volunteer but was rejected. He stood there feeling extremely awkward. His face flushed red as he secretly glared at Dongfang Zhongyue. Dongfang Zhongyue pretended not to see it and returned to the flag with the warrant.

After entering the room, Tian Zaiguang's gaze fell on the document in his hand and he asked, "Flag length, you have a job now?" It was indeed a long trip, "Dongfang Zhongyue said to the others," Yuan Zhou is guarding Yang Ren too well and won't be dispatched. His Majesty ordered us to capture him and bring him back for questioning.

Yu Fangzhou stroked his yellow beard and asked: "Dong Fang Flag length, for a local official not to be assigned to the Ministry of Government, can we order the local yamen to arrest him? Otherwise, we can have the local garrison go, and send us now... I suppose there's something wrong with the local garrison? "

He smiled and said, "Brother Yu asked a good question. The Military Department sent us to find out the situation because they didn't respond to Yuan Zhou's order by sending us a letter."

"Oh," Mo Shenggu said, "Is Yang Ren going to rebel?" "It must be!" If you don't rebel, who will not be ordered around …? " Everyone began to discuss with one another.

Dongfang Zhongyue cleared his throat and asked: "What, are you afraid of not going?" Everyone stopped talking. No one replied.

"If you're afraid, then don't be a Embroidered Uniform Guard, and don't enter the North Restraint Division!" Dongfang Zhongyue saw that everyone's silence eased up, "If there are no objections, we will immediately go and change into casual clothes."

No one dared to go their own ways to change clothes. Tian Zaiguang came over and smiled, "Don't be angry, it's just discussions in the East Flag length, there's no other meaning. "Capturing someone is our duty, there is nothing to be afraid of." "That's good." Dongfang Zhongyu's first term as Flag length really didn't know what to do, so he didn't say much as he went to change into casual clothes.

When everyone came out, Yue Jiangchuan and Jin Shazhi were waiting in the courtyard to practice and wish him success. Pang Ying's order was to set off immediately. No one dared to delay any further, heading to the back courtyard to lead their horses and set off immediately …

Yuan Zhou was in the western part of Jiangxi Province. Therefore, they took the southwest route after leaving the capital and didn't say anything along the way. It was only until noon that they passed by White Water Town, and only then did Dongfang Zhongyue call for them to stop and eat.

White Water Town was not small. Everyone chose a clean high school restaurant. While they were waiting for the dishes to be served, Wang Hongjian suddenly said, "Eastern Flag length, you can't be in a hurry to earn merits, right?"

The sudden question stunned Dongfang Zexuan. He realized that he was talking about this mission and smiled, "Being unable to accomplish anything is a small matter. How can we be left behind by the Heavenly Flag?" "You guys don't know, the Wind character flag wants to go to mega-man, but it's not allowed!"

"Oh …" Wang Hongjian glanced at him and mumbled, "This task is a bit tricky. Maybe none of us will be able to make it back!" Dongfang Zhongyu shook his head and said, "That won't be necessary. Even if Yang Ren wants to rebel, he has yet to take up arms. We can act together."

The others didn't say anything, but they all seemed very worried. Dongfang Zhongzhong chuckled, "Everyone is sent from the different security stations, are you all that timid?"

"Who's afraid?" Mo Shenggu's face was already a bit dark, but at this moment, it became even more dark. "That depends on what happens. This clearly shows that we are going to throw our lives away."

"Do you all think so?" Dongfang Zhongyue said: "Our task is to capture Yang Ren, not to fight against the rebel army! Even if the local guards were to be involved, would we dare to make a move after capturing Yang Ren and the others?

If you don't make a move, it has nothing to do with them. Whoever makes a move will be the crime of killing the entire Nine Clans.

Everyone looked at each other and nodded slightly. Yu Fangzhou said, "What Eastern Flag length said is reasonable. You all don't need to worry. Since Chengzu Emperor had ascended to the throne, he had been exempt from half of the taxes of the whole country. Shandong, Beiping, Henan and other places had also been exempted.

In recent years, the locust plague in Shandong Province, the water disease in Suquan, the famine in Beiping Six Prefectures, the famine in Songjiang and Huzhou, and the break in Kaifeng Yellow River levee … The court handled the situation very well, both as a relief and as a tax exempt.

Today, the peaceful people were getting richer and richer. Who would rebel against them? Yes, they were also people with ulterior motives. "As long as we are able to take Yang Ren, we will have completed our mission."

Yu Fangzhou's words were more persuasive. Everyone slowly nodded their heads to hide the grumbling expressions on their faces. Dongfang Zhongyue did not expect that Zhu Di would actually do so many good deeds for the citizens. He was quite surprised …

After the meal, everyone was no longer depressed. They started to laugh and talk. Mo Shenggu took the initiative to gather around Dongfang Zhongyu to chat, to make up for his recklessness just now …

Dongfang Zhongyu was not a stingy man, so he didn't treat him coldly. Once Yuan Zhou mentioned him, he asked how many more days it would take for Yuan Zhou to arrive. I've never been there either, "Mo Shenggu answered," I've only heard that Yuan Zhou is in Xunyang Road, I'm afraid... It'll take me eight to ten days.

"That's for sure," Chen Boyan heard and said, "The mountain roads in Jiangxi Province are hard to traverse. It's going to rain season now and Yuan Zhou will arrive within half a month. That's pretty good already."

Chen Boyan was really unlucky to say that two days later, the weather turned cloudy, the clouds in Huizhou turned black, and rain began to fall before reaching Jing County. First, it was just a light drizzle. The group bought bamboo cloaks and walked through the rain. When they arrived at Bawou County, it began to rain even harder. That day, it seemed as if the rain had leaked something ten steps away, so they had no choice but to find a relay station.

That night, everyone drank at the window. Seeing the heavy rain outside, Mo Shenggu laughed and scolded Chen Boyan for his crow's beak. Chen Boyan, on the other hand, was not angry. Smiling, he said, "If I had the ability, it would be great. I don't need to have a day like today where I can lick my own blood."

"Then what else can you do to make money by selling rainwater?" Song Yingjie asked with a smile. I'll let you say it, "Chen Boyan laughed and said," There is.

"If you say it's going to rain, then I'll ride my horse and go around the country. If it's not raining, then I'll give them a bit of rain. Why don't the local people give me some hard money?"

"Able, too powerful!" Wang Hongjian said, "You'd better go to the Northern Desert. There, you'll be treated like a ancestor." Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard this …

He joked about how worried the rain was. Even after staying for two and a half days, it still continued to rain at a leisurely pace. On the fourth day, the rain stopped, but the road was too muddy to walk, so they stayed on for another day.

The group of people passed Wu Yuan and walked straight into Xunyang Road. It was hard to walk on mountainous roads in Jiangdi. It took them three to four days before they finally arrived outside of Yuan Zhou's city. According to the agreement, the ten people would enter through the three gates in three batches from the southeast of the north. The remaining two groups would be led by Sun Steel, Liu Steel and Dongfang Zhongyue, together with Yu Fangzhou, Wu Steel and Zhou Steel.

The city gates of Yuan Zhou's city were wide open. Only two old soldiers were cleaning the streets. No one questioned the people entering the city at all. Song Yingjie muttered, "Flag length, you don't look like a rebel. How can you not be wary of a rebel?"

"No situation is best." The more he observed from the east, the more he saw that the shops were open for business as usual, and the passersby did not show any unusual expressions.

There was a Tongfu Inn diagonally across the street from the manor house on the East Avenue. Tian Zaiguang, Yu Fangzhou, Wang Hongjian, and Dongfang Zhongyu were staying in two pairs, while the others stayed in two inns nearby to avoid arousing suspicion.

After dinner, Tian Zaiguang and Yu Fangzhou quietly went to Fang Zhongyu's room. It was still bright and dark, making it easy to observe. Tian Zaiguang asked, "Eastern Flag length, what should we do now?"

Dongfang Zhongyue said: "We need to figure out the situation at the Grand Guardian's Mansion first, it's hard to say whether or not Yang Ren is at home right now." Yu Fangzhou said, "After it gets dark, I'll go inside the Residence of Great Guardian and ask about the situation."

Dongfang Zhongyue nodded, "Let's go." That's for the best, "Tian Zaiguang smiled and said," Brother Yu's mind is meticulous and nimble, Eastern Flag length's kung fu is good, the two of you are most suitable to go.

Wang Hongjian glanced at Tian Zaiguang before walking to the window to look at the Great Residence of Grand Guard in the twilight. After a while, he said, "Song Yingjie, Mo Shenggu, and I will patrol outside the mansion. Just in case."

After discussing for a while, they decided to take a break. It was almost the time for Dongfang Zhongyu and Yu Fangzhou to come to the alleyway behind the Grand Guardian's Mansion. Seeing that there was no one left or right, Yu Fangzhou was about to jump on the wall when Dongfang Zhongyue suddenly grabbed him, "Shh …" "Don't move!"
