Chapter Fifty-One (4)(2/2)
Spring plowing completed.
It is said that he did better than Meng Sangong who was backed by the Deposed Dragon Gang.
This also made Du Pozhen have a strong curiosity about the Prince and Eunuch of Beiya, because now it is said outside that talented people like Wang Eunuch in Beiya are just like the husband-in-law of Nan Ya. It is because of this man
Only now can I manage a group of internal servants so well.
But it is a pity that Du Pozhen entered Xiayi City in name and saw the legendary internal servants, many young palace maids walking in the streets, the order restored to normal, and even merchants and villagers entering the city to join the market.
, I also saw that the city walls were being reinforced and the trenches were being cleaned, but I did not see the legendary prince.
The people in the inner army were very polite. They told Leader Du that the prince and his father-in-law went to Jiyin by way of Dangshan County, and planned to draw a clear line with Meng Shanggong face to face through the mediation of the Deposed Dragon Gang. The other slightly famous father-in-laws,
Most of them also took people to the north to guard against the army and Meng Shanggong. The remaining few were scattered to repair the city defense and it was not easy to entertain them without permission.
Du Pozhen expressed his understanding that it was inappropriate for the people below to meet him privately when the prince was not here. Besides, he was on his way, so he left directly and continued northward.
The next stop is the territory of the Meng brothers.
Needless to say, everyone knows that Meng Shanggong went to Jiyin, and his brother Meng Zhigui not only had to guard against several surrounding forces, but also guarded against the main force of the army in Songcheng. He had gone to Kaocheng, which he had just taken, to take charge.
Didn't see it at all.
So, after a slight pause for half a day, the Du Po Formation set off again on the first day of March, preparing to lead the crowd to re-enter Jiyin.
Of course, this time there was no nervousness and caution as before, nor did he deliberately avoid the market city. Instead, he entered directly from Zhouqiao City, which was said to be the meeting point.
What's interesting is that Zhouqiao City is about to hold a large market on March 3rd. Du Pozhen and others happened to be attending the meeting. Along the way, they saw many people from Liang County swarming in, often with just a few eggs and two handfuls of new ones.
With a broom and a few kilograms of millet, he happily helped the old and the young away.
After all, Alliance Leader Du was born into a poor man, and of course he knew the hardships these ordinary people were going through. So after arriving at Zhouqiao, facing Zhang Xing who quickly reunited, he couldn't help but sigh:
"Brother, you said March 3 next year, how many people here can be so happy?"
Zhang Xing then wanted to speak.
But at this moment, a richly dressed strong man next to him suddenly raised his knife and sneered, and then rushed to answer: "Leader Du, you are talking as if if we don't rebel, the common people can survive? In troubled times, who is not the same?
If you force yourself to smile, is it just for a moment?"
Of course there was nothing wrong with what he said, but there was something wrong with his attitude. Du Pozhen did not say a word, but several eunuchs behind him had become angry early on.
However, the man was obviously just using Du Po Zhen as a gesture. Once he said it, the effect was achieved, he handed over to Du Po Zhen again: "Boss Du, this is the first time we meet, this is Meng Sangong. My words are a bit offensive, please forgive me...
But these are my true words."
Du Pozhen was also used to seeing this kind of person, so how could he not know that he was just expressing his position? Moreover, the Meng brothers' territory was right there, and it was impossible for them to fall to others. So, the leader of the Du Alliance didn't bother to care about it.
Nodding, he glanced at another middle-aged man with a white face and no beard, and followed Zhang Xing to a building to the north of the market.
The other heroes, in great numbers, also swarmed in.
There was nothing to say about sitting down. Zhang Xing and Du Pozhen sat at the head, Meng Shanggong and Wang Gonggong sat on the left and right, and the other leaders of the Deposed Dragon Gang and members of the local branch also took their seats.
Only the Ma family and his daughter were pointed out to sit near the front, which obviously caused a slight commotion among the Taibao of the Huaiyou League who could only stand.
Du Po Zhen was stable and did not say a word. Zhang Xing saw it early and did not say a word.
It wasn't until everyone was ready that they looked at the big dragon leader waiting for him to speak. Then he calmly spoke, but he pointed at the Taibao of the Huaiyou League and spoke to Du Pozhen:
"Lao Du, we are serious brothers. These nephews are naturally my serious nephews. Why don't you let me see them?"
After hearing this, the people in the hall felt that it made sense for a moment, but after looking at the ages of the eunuchs and this one, they still couldn't help but feel a little weird.
But how to say it?
