Chapter 1331: Full of Thoughts

In the blink of an eye, it is already late November.

Yun Zheng and his team also officially set off for Muzhou.

After careful consideration, Qin Qihu finally decided not to go with them.

In Qin Qihu's words, he is a tongue-tied person and he can easily say the wrong thing if he is not careful. If he says something wrong accidentally when there are many people around, it will be a disaster.

Qin Qihu has already made up his reasons.

He is currently leading his troops to garrison Zhen and He states, and is not in Shuobei at all.

Qin Qihu insisted again and again, and Yun Zheng had no choice but to let him go.

This time, Mundo, Zulu and Qiyan, the nominal Great Khan of Northern Huan, all accompanied them.

Now they still have a large number of troops in Fuzhou, and Yun Zheng no longer uses the Blood-Clothed Army as his personal guards.

However, he is bringing his entire family with him this time, so he still has to be cautious.

Therefore, he assigned 500 personal guards to each of Mundo, Zulu and Qiyan.

They are all leaders of their respective tribes, and it is reasonable for them to have five hundred personal guards!

In addition, he ordered Qu Zhi to transfer 5,000 elite cavalry to Juping in advance to bring the military strength of Juping to 10,000.

At the same time, he ordered people to pay close attention to the movements of the imperial army around Fuzhou.

Make sure he receives the news as soon as there is any movement in the imperial army.

Along the way, Yun Zheng and his team did not move very fast.

Thanks to the several carriages that Zhang Xu had improved again, and the thick mattresses they placed in the carriages, Shen Luoyan and her daughter did not feel any discomfort.

It was not until the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month that they arrived at Huaiyu County, Juping.

Huaiyu County is now Shen Nianci's fief.

After passing Huaiyu County, you officially enter Muzhou.

"Greetings to His Highness, the Princess, and all the ladies..."

Wei Yu and Zhou Mi led people to greet them outside the county town.

"No gift!"

Yun Zheng smiled, "Okay, let's go into the city first!"

"Yes!"

Everyone took the order and got back on their horses.

When entering the city, Yun Zheng came to Zhou Mi and Wei Yu again and asked, "Are there any unusual movements by the imperial army?"

"No."

Wei Yu replied: "The imperial army surrounding Muzhou has not moved. I have sent people to Muzhou to investigate several times. Muzhou currently has 6,000 troops stationed there, and another 5,000 are accompanying the emperor to protect him..."

The troops from the states surrounding Fuzhou were all under their close watch.

Juzhou and Yizhou are the areas they focus on monitoring.

"That's good."

Yun Zheng nodded and smiled, then asked Zhou Mi: "How is the training of Yaoxi's soldiers going?"

Zhou Mi answered confidently: "Your Highness, we are ready! As long as Your Highness gives the order, we will rush to the battlefield and tear all the enemies to pieces!"

All in all, they have been training for two years!

Even if they also have to take into account farming, two years is enough to train an elite army!

What's more, those soldiers were elite troops.

Zhou Mi was confident that whether it was the army in Yaoxi or the army in other places in Fuzhou, they were in no way inferior to any unit of the Beifu Army or the Guiyi Army.

Of course, they are definitely no match for the Blood-Cloth Army and Yun Zheng’s personal guards.

"Yes, Not Bad!"

Yun Zheng looked at Zhou Mi with satisfaction, "Just wait, you will have a chance to make contributions soon! But I have to make it clear, if you can't stand up when I ask you to, I will kill you as a sacrifice!"

"Yes!"

Zhou Mi and Wei Yu obeyed the order loudly at the same time, secretly happy in their hearts.

Damn it!

It’s finally their turn to perform!

They watched other generals achieve great things every day and were so envious that they were almost drooling.

Now, everyone in the Fuzhou army, from top to bottom, is hoping to make merit!

After some chatting, they came to the county government office.

Yun Zheng got off his horse and said to Wei Shuang, "If my sister-in-law is interested, you can take Nianci to the county town and let her see her fiefdom."

"forget it!"

Wei Shuang smiled and said, "There's nothing to see! Let's just rest in the county government office!"

They all knew what this fief was all about.

Neither Wei Shuang nor Madam Shen cared about this so-called fiefdom.

The only benefit of this fief was that it allowed the court to pay less tax than a county.

"Okay! Then you guys go and rest first!"

Yun Zheng did not try to persuade them and led everyone into the county government office.

The remaining journey can be completed in five or six days at most.

Although they walked slowly along the way, it was still quite tiring.

Yun Zheng planned to rest in Huaiyu County for two days before slowly heading to Jishan.

Anyway, they only needed to arrive at Jishan one or two days before the Fengshan date set by Emperor Wen.

At night, when Yun Zheng and his friends had just finished eating and were about to go back to their room to rest, Lin Ji hurried over and whispered in Yun Zheng's ear.

Yun Zheng immediately ordered: "Bring him to the back hall of the county government office!"

"Yes!"

Soon, a person was brought in front of Yun Zheng.

Yun Zheng had seen this person before.

This was the man that Emperor Wen sent to him last year to await the results of the interrogation of Meng Ruowang.

The visitor didn't say much. After bowing to Yun Zheng, he immediately handed over a letter.

Yun Zheng opened the letter and read it, then shook his head and smiled bitterly.

What the hell is this old guy doing?

"Alright, I understand!"

Yun Zheng put away the letter and ordered Lin Ji, "You personally escort him out of the city!"

Lin Ji took the order and immediately left with the visitor.

Yun Zheng thought silently for a while, and then ordered someone to call Shen Luoyan and the others.

"We have to hurry to Jishan."

As Yun Zheng spoke, he handed Emperor Wen's handwritten letter to several people to read.

After reading Emperor Wen's letter, the women smiled helplessly.

"You, my father, are full of tricks!"

Miaoyin was filled with emotion, "He arranged everything very clearly."

After listening to Miaoyin's words, not to mention Shen Luoyan and Ye Zi, even Xin Sheng nodded in agreement.

Emperor Wen said in the letter that he would announce five days before the Fengshan ceremony that he would go to the Daci Temple to fast for three days before the Fengshan ceremony to show his reverence for God.

Emperor Wen asked Yun Zheng to arrive at Daci Temple before he went there to fast.

They all understood that Emperor Wen wanted to get rid of the people who were accompanying him and talk to Yun Zheng alone.

As for what Emperor Wen wanted to talk to Yun Zheng about, perhaps only he himself knew.

"Let's take a day off tomorrow and then set off!"

Yun Zheng smiled helplessly, "When we are almost at Jishan, I will go to Daci Temple."

"So much the better."

Ye Zi nodded gently, "When we leave the day after tomorrow, don't ride a horse!"

"I don't know how many people are secretly watching our movements along the way. If you disappear when you are almost reaching Jishan, it may arouse other people's suspicion."

"If you go alone with only a small number of people, we will not be at ease."

Once you pass Huaiyu County, it is no longer Yun Zheng’s sphere of influence.

Who knows whether Yun Li will secretly send someone to attack Yun Zheng?

Although they all knew Emperor Wen's attitude towards Yun Zheng, they still had to be cautious when necessary.

"Yeah, that's what I thought too."

Yun Zheng nodded gently, "Alright, just know about this, don't make it public! We can discuss how to do this in a way that will not arouse suspicion from others as much as possible on the way!"
