Gongzi Zhen did not answer, but put the jade pendant into his arms and said, "Call me Mr. Zeng!"

The four people met again and said politely: "I would like to meet Mr. Zeng!"

Gongzi Zhen asked again: "Who is taking control of Wu'an?"

Zheng Anping replied: "In the middle of the night, Hu Yang!"

Gongzi Zhen said: "How can we attack Yanyu and invade Wu'an and Handan?"

Zheng Anping said: "Lan Yu will be defeated in one day, but it cannot be defended without a large army. Zhao Gu has nothing to lose with Lian Yu and Chang Wu. This is Zhao's plan. What's more, it will definitely enter his country, which will hurt his heart!"

Gongzi Zhen said: "If he enters Handan with a partial army, he will be defeated, and Qin will be the one to suffer!"

Zheng Anping said: "But if you mess up your country, you don't have to fight!"

Young Master Zhen said: "Why the chaos?"

Zheng Anping said: "Maybe it's like the story of Kai Feng?"

Bing Cao said: "If it's not the right time, it won't happen!"

Chen Sidao: "The above are plotting it. I am a lowly minister. How can I know the plot? I can only guess it."

The soldier asked: "How many people are you traveling with?"

Zheng Anping said: "The two ministers and ten guards are all wearing hairpins. They will not change, sir."

Bing Cao said: "Is it okay to follow Mr. Wei into Wu'an?"

Zheng Anping said: "We can travel overnight, sir, how can you do that?"

Bing Cao asked: "Where are we going?"

Zheng Anping said: "Although the Handan Road is close, it has been occupied by the Zhao army, and the situation is difficult. We should go south and enter it through the Fu River."

Bing Cao said: "It is already late and the boat is inconvenient. After eating in the afternoon, we will go to Fushuijinkou and enter Guo's Silk Shop."

Zheng Anping responded. The soldier led them to the front door. Zheng Anping suddenly asked the soldier: "May I ask how you know where we are?"

Bing Cao looked at Zheng Anping in surprise, and then said: "If you talk in Qin tone, pay a little attention, you won't know what to expect!"

Zheng Anping said: "There must be more than one person who heard our Qin news. How could someone from Zhao not notice it?"

Bing Cao said: "People from all over the place gather here, and there are many local voices, so there are few strange friends. We, the people of Qin, feel moved when we hear the voices of Qin!"

Zheng Anping asked: "How many soldiers do you have, Master?"

Bing Cao said: "It's not you who knows this!"

After leaving the gate, Bing Cao transformed into an old housekeeper and greeted Chen Si and others as they bid farewell.

The door of this house was already on another street. Zheng Anping had never been there before and didn't know how to get home. Fortunately, Chen Si was sensitive to directions and took the three of them back to Niilu. They met a doctor on the way and sent out a safety signal. They returned to Niilu.

Afterwards, he asked the host of the Ni brigade for some firewood and rice, explaining that he would leave in the afternoon and go to Wu'an. The host of the Ni brigade said: "I heard that there are Qin soldiers in Wu'an, how can I go there?"

Chen Sidao said: "Being a soldier means that there are nobility and nobility, so you can do business." The host of the counterattack praised him.

Everyone who had gone out came back, and everyone was cooking porridge together. Zheng Anping mentioned to the doctor about meeting the young master, but the doctor had never seen it before, so he didn't know whether it was true or not. Everyone discussed that it was not Zhao's conspiracy, because there was no need to do this to arrest them.

It's troublesome; but when I met Hu Yang, what kind of son Zhen and Bingcao, if it is fake, must be

The secret will be exposed, and it is impossible to escape. In order to prevent any accidents, everyone has made corresponding preparations. Once there is an accident, there is no need to rescue each other. The best thing is to withdraw quickly and return to Wu'an to call the police. Because they are all low-level knights,

We don't know much about the military situation, so even if we tell the truth, it won't cause any losses to the Qin army.

It was decided after deliberation that Zheng Anping and Chen Si would go first with four people, while the doctor and the other five people would pack their luggage and follow. In fact, they would stagger the time of each other in order to take care of each other.

We have to walk about twenty miles south from Fushuijinkou, and we have arrived at dusk. There is also a large gathering here. Although it is late, there are still a lot of people. Chen Si asked the villagers about Guo's Silk Shop, and everyone also agreed.

They all knew it and pointed out the way. When the group arrived at Silk Road, Silk Road had already climbed up the door. They knocked on the door and announced that they were visiting Mr. Zeng. Young Master

At that moment, a child came out and led six people to turn left and right to the river. This was the reservoir area and the wharf, and few people lived there. The child was very familiar with it, and led the people to a courtyard, knocked on the door, and said that someone was there.

Went to Silk Road to visit Mr. Zeng. The concierge led him in and went in to report. After a while, the soldier came out and saw Zheng Anping and his party, and said, "Is that all?"

Zheng Anping said: "Six more people will arrive shortly." The soldier went out and saw six people appearing in front of the door. The soldier did not say anything and led them in. He said: "But leave two people and go in overnight. The rest will go in."

Stay here and leave early the next day.”

Zheng Anping wanted to refute, but Bing Cao stopped him and said: "If there is anything else to say in the report, it will be all on the young master. It has nothing to do with my brothers!"

Naturally, everyone unanimously recommended Zheng Anping and Chen Si to go out at night, while the remaining ten people would be led by the doctor and leave tomorrow.

Bing Cao led Zheng Anping and Chen Si around to the river and boarded a small boat. Here was Gongzi Zhen. Gongzi Zhen, who was originally dressed in luxurious clothes, now transformed into a merchant, wearing a long robe and silk robe similar to Chen Si and others. Look,

After waiting for a long time, I was still trembling! Zheng Anping and Chen Si got on the boat, and the soldier called to set off. The boatman stretched out his pole, rocked the oar, and steered the boat upstream.

The cold wind on the river hit his skin, and Gongzi Zhen kept shrinking his head and neck, as if he was very intolerant of the cold. Zheng Anping took off his silk robe, covered him with Gongzi Zhen, and said: "It's cold on the river, so please lie down in the cabin."

Gongzi Zhen seemed to smile gratefully at Zheng Anping. Zheng Anping supported Gongzi Zhen and huddled up in the cabin. He looked very uncomfortable, but in fact he felt less wind and was much warmer than sitting up. After a while, Gongzi Zhen fell into a deep sleep.

.

Chen Si and Zheng Anping looked at each other speechless: Such a weak and inexperienced young master could hide in Handan for nearly half a year without being exposed. It was really hard for him; what would he do if he got to the army?

It was getting late at night, so Zheng Anping asked Chen Si to rest too. He was too cold to sleep, so he came to the stern of the boat and chatted with the boatman to get rid of the cold. He introduced himself as a Zheng man and was helping his son to find business.

, just ask

The local customs, mountains and rivers are far and near. The boatman also knew that the Qin army was coming to Wu'an, and he was a little worried, especially when walking at night... As nothing happened, the two of them chatted all over the country, making mental calculations but not thinking about it, and were caught by Zheng Anping.

Come up with a lot of words.

It turns out that the Guo family in Handan is a large iron smelting company. In recent years, the business has expanded to silk and other industries. As long as the industry makes money, the Guo family is involved. It is obvious that the largest businessman in Zhao State. The boatman said: "But with the help of the Guo family

, nothing is impossible.”

While talking, he and the boatman rowed together. Zheng Anping finally survived the cold night and watched the dawn in the east. The boatman said: "Not far from the former is Cishan, where is Guo's Mine!" Then he docked the boat.

Going ashore, he said: "Now we can enter Wu'an!"

The shaking at the shore woke up the two people on the boat. They sat up and saw Zheng Anping paying the boatman. The boatman declined and said, "Guo has already paid the commission!"

Zheng Anping said: "I came at night to receive my brother's teachings and help me, so I dare not thank you or prepare a meal!" He helped the sleepy young master Zhen and Chen Si to jump ashore.

Not far ahead is Jinkou where they came to guide the mercenary ship. Thirty miles north from Jinkou is the east city of Wu'an occupied by the Qin army, and about ten miles away from the east city is Wu'an County. Going north from Jinkou,

There are iron ores along the way, and it is not deserted; along the river, there are many stoves emitting huge heat, making the place barbecue like spring.

Chen Simo remembered the road a few days ago and took Gongzi Zhen along the road to Mingshui. After dawn, the group walked into a village by Mingshui, found a wine shop, bought some wine and meat, and ate some steamed food.

After dinner, Gongzi Zhen’s expression softened. Along the way, Zheng Anping’s

The robe has been on Gongzi Zhen's body until now, when he took it off to return it to Zheng Anping. Zheng Anping drank wine, and there was some residual heat from the furnace here, which was much stronger than on the river, so he naturally refused to take it away.

Without refusing, he put it on again. Chen Si looked at it and laughed.

After breakfast, the three of them got up again and headed north. Across the Ming River from here is Cishan. The best mineral point owned by the Guo family is Cishan. However, the three of them did not dare to cross the river here because they were afraid that the Zhao people would see through it.

I would rather go north along the Ming River. Compared with the other side, there are fewer people here, it is mainly pastoral, and it is relatively remote. Gongzi Zhen does not speak much and has an eccentric personality, while Zheng An is peaceful.

Chen Si didn't dare to talk to him; he rarely asked questions, and seemed to trust the two of them very much, allowing them to lead them through the countryside. Occasionally, there would be people's army interrogation in front of him, but he couldn't avoid it, so he just said:

Mr. Guo did not hesitate. He waited until the sun was setting in the west and turned eastward along the river. Chen Si found the shallow water and was about to cross the river. When he crossed the bank, he shouted: "Who is it?"

When the three of them heard this, they felt as if they were hearing fairy music, and their hearts were filled with joy: it was Qin Yin who shouted. Zheng Anping did not dare to reveal the identities of the three of them, so he only replied with Qin Yin: "Qin people!" The person on the opposite side heard his Qin Yin.

(Although he brought Zheng Yin with him), seeing that they had no equipment, he said: "Let's cross!"

The three of them waded across the river. A soldier came forward to inquire, and Zheng Anping said: "I would like to see the doctor." A hairpin came over, looked at Zheng Anping, and asked: "Who are you, and why do you want to see the doctor?"

Zheng Anping said: "I am Zheng Anping, the official of Zhong Geng's personal camp, returning from sentry duty."

After hearing this, Hairpin called a soldier and said, "Send them to the doctor." The soldier led the three people to the doctor's office. The doctor lived in a private house. Hearing the soldier's report, he came out to see

He looked at Zheng Anping and the other three, without saying much, he pointed to the city in the distance and said: "The middle watch is not far away, you can return there by yourself!"

Zheng Anping said: "My friend is weak and may have a car. I would like to help him a little bit!"

The doctor said: "We have carried all the baggage on our shoulders, so how can we get a carriage? We can't!"

Zheng Anping had no choice but to say goodbye. He went to a camp and asked to see an official. This official had met Zheng Anping at Wang Lu's place and knew that although his title was not high, he had made great contributions and was very enthusiastic about him.

Zheng Anping commandeered an ox cart from the city and asked the people to pull it, guarded by ten soldiers, straight to the east city.
