Early the next morning, Zhu Pingan, accompanied by Mrs. Wa's wife, Cen Dalu and others, led the Zhejiang army to leave Jiaxing.
"Mr. Zhu, have a safe trip. When we wipe out Xu Hai, we will ask the governor for orders to rush to your aid. When the time comes, our wolf soldiers promise not to disappoint you." Cen Dalu waved his hands repeatedly, reluctant to leave.
"Okay, I'll wait for you in southern Zhejiang." Zhu Ping'an said with a smile.
"Little chieftain, you must kill more Japanese pirates, don't insult the armor and firearms of our Zhejiang army."
Liu Dadao and others became familiar with Cen Dalu in just one day, haha Said with a smile.
"Don't worry, as long as the Japanese pirates appear in front of our wolf soldiers, kill one by one, kill a pair by a pair, kill a thousand by a thousand, kill ten thousand by ten thousand, and I guarantee that not a single Japanese pirate will escape."
Cen Dalu’s chest thumped loudly.
"Mr. Zhu, have a pleasant journey, and I will not disappoint you." Mrs. Wa's fists were clasped in greeting.
"Madam, please stay. Everyone, please stay. We will take our leave now. I am waiting for news of your victory in southern Zhejiang."
Zhu Pingan returned the greeting with fists clasped, got on his horse, and took Liu Dadao with him. The others left Jiaxing.
Zhu Pingan and his Zhejiang army left Jiaxing from the south gate. Zhao Chong, the prefect of Jiaxing, saw Zhu Pingan leading the mighty Zhejiang army straight to the south gate, as if he was about to leave Jiaxing from the south gate.
Seeing this, Zhao Chong couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and then he squinted to estimate the number of Zhejiang troops.
A rough estimate showed that the number of Zhejiang troops following Zhu Pingan was the same as when they came. They were all leaving.
"I'm paying homage to Zhu Butang. Why do you have to leave the city so early in the morning? You just arrived in the dust yesterday. Why don't you take a good rest today? Yesterday, for the sake of Jiaxing's safety, the inspection took a lot of time. ,Down The official has already made a reservation for the banquet, and is going to invite you to pay homage to him in the evening. Firstly, he will take care of you, and secondly, he will express his apology. "
Zhao Chong, the prefect of Jiaxing, trotted down from the city in time to catch up with Zhu Ping'an before he left the city. Welcome at the city gate.
Pretending to be enthusiastic.
For those who didn’t know, they thought Zhao Chong and Zhu Ping’an were old friends who had known each other for many years.
"Thank you so much, Magistrate Zhao, for your kindness. I appreciate it. I will return to Shaoxing today. I will not be able to bear the presence of Magistrate Zhao."
Zhu Ping'an is here The man on horseback waved his hand and said calmly.
"Ah, sir, you are going back to Shaoxing today?! Why, sir, are you coming and going in such a hurry?" Zhao Chong, the prefect of Jiaxing, asked with a puzzled look on his face. .
"I came to Jiaxing under the order of the Governor to escort the grain, grass and salt. The delivery has been completed and the task has been completed. Naturally, I will return."
Zhu Pingan replied simply.
"That's too rushed. It's better to rest for a day and give the subordinate a chance. It won't be too late to return tomorrow."
Jiaxing Magistrate Zhao Chong said enthusiastically.
"No, let's do it next time. I have important things to do, so just say goodbye and drive!" Zhu Ping'an waved his hand, clamped the horse's belly, and led the army to continue setting off.
Zhu Ping'an deliberately said that he still had important matters, and deliberately asked him to spend some effort to find out what his important matters were, so that they would be more willing to believe the information he found out.
"I respectfully send you off to your Majesty." Zhao Chong, the prefect of Jiaxing, bowed to see him off.
After Zhu Ping'an and his entourage left, Jiaxing Magistrate Zhao Chong dismissed the two people around him, leaving only two people around him. He whispered to them, "Yesterday, under the king's order, you repeatedly urged me to verify the identity of the people with the surname Zhu. Let me tell you the purpose of the soldiers coming to Jiaxing. The person named Zhu came here to pay tribute to Zhang Jing. Order, escort the grain, grass and salt. You still don't believe it, saying that Zhu Ping'an has ulterior motives. Now you have seen that after delivering the grain, grass and salt, he went back."
The two people around Zhao Chong are not. His personal followers were Japanese pirates sent by Xu Hai to monitor and contact Zhao Chong.
At this time, the two men were dressed in uniforms and following Zhao Chong, but they looked arrogant and showed no respect at all.
"Zhu Ping'an came yesterday and returned today. It's unreasonable. He must have ulterior motives. You heard it just now. He said he had important matters. What important matters? Is it to go back to deploy troops and generals, or to transport ordnance, or to attack our army? Jiaxing is unfavorable! How can we go back if we don’t find out these things clearly? "Reply to the king?"
"The king will definitely be dissatisfied by then. If the king is dissatisfied, you should know the consequences, Governor Zhao."
The two Japanese pirates were dissatisfied and looked at them with threatening eyes. Zhao Chong, the prefect of Jiaxing, said in a strange tone.
"Ahem, this must be investigated, but as you know, Zhu Ping'an is a very human being. If you investigate, you must not attract his attention, otherwise, it may be detrimental to the king's plan."
Zhao Chong, the prefect of Jiaxing, coughed.
"You don't need to tell me this. We have dealt with Zhu more than once. This little thief is as cunning as a fox."
The two Japanese pirates snorted.
"Well, I will send someone to Shaoxing to see if we can find out clearly what important matters Zhu Pingan has when he returns to Shaoxing. Of course, in order not to alert the snake, there is no guarantee that we can find out clearly." Zhao Chong, the prefect of Jiaxing Look at the two people.
"You can arrange another identity and let our people go with you. The ten-household protection method of Lao Shizi by Zhu is too disturbing. I used to go in and out at will, but now I will do it if I am not careful. Cause trouble."
The two Japanese pirates gave Zhao Chong the order directly.
Since the implementation of the Ten Household Protection Law, it has become increasingly inconvenient and dangerous for them to enter and leave Zhejiang.
“This.” Zhao Chong hesitated.
"Why, isn't Magistrate Zhao unwilling? Then we have to reply to the king truthfully. However, Magistrate Zhao, don't blame us for not reminding you, you have to think clearly about the consequences." The two Japanese pirates threatened road.
"I didn't say I wasn't willing, I was just thinking about what kind of identity I would arrange." Zhao Chong said with a smile on his face.
Of course, in his heart, Zhao Chong was cursing, two damn bastards! You have repeatedly used Xu Hai’s name to force me!
Let's leave you alone. When Jiaxing happens, I will become the third leader of Tuolin Japanese pirates. Let's see how I deal with you! When the time comes, you will suffer it!
“That’s pretty much it.” The two Japanese pirates looked at each other and smiled with satisfaction.
This guy named Zhao, you can’t give him a good look! Your Majesty is right, this guy surnamed Zhao is a lowly person, so he has to be beaten from time to time.
"I will find a way to arrange identities for them. When you arrange people to go with my people, you must explain it to your people. You must be careful when investigating, and you must not alert the snake or Zhu Ping'an. Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous."
Jiaxing Magistrate Zhao Chong repeatedly warned.
"You just need to arrange your identity, and you don't have to worry about the rest. Our people are professionals." The two Japanese pirates said with confidence.
"That's good." Zhao Chong, the prefect of Jiaxing, was relieved. (End of this chapter)
