Chapter 95 Golden Cone (6)
Chengfu is an ancient city in this world.
According to the official historical books read by Zhang Xing, there are at least six large-scale battles of Chengfu in eight thousand years.
For example, in "The Legend of the Female Leader Li Yue", the so-called early border of the Eastern Chu was nearby, and a very tragic war broke out in the history of the ancestral emperor's Eastern Expedition.
For example, Zhang Xing returned from Jiangdong this time, and the series of regimes from Southern Tang to Nanchen, which formed the eight great powers of Jiangdong, seemed to have been exerted several Northern Expeditions at Chengfu's place.
As the saying goes, reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, Zhang Xing has come here personally, but he doesn’t know why this place can become famous for a reason.
Not to mention anything else, just talking about geography. Chengfu County is next to Whishui, another tributary of the Huai River. Whishui is almost parallel to Huai River. This river suddenly turns west here at Chengfu and no longer goes deep into the Central Plains. On the Huai River, it is also suddenly surrounded by Jishan and Dangshan... Then it can be said that this place is the end of the Huai River pointing to the Central Plains.
Going further, if you want to rely on Huai River's release and transportation capabilities to exert military and political influence, it seems too powerful.
Chengfu is an obvious dividing point between the heartland of the Central Plains in the Central Plains and the Huaihe River Basin where the river must be guarded by the Huaihe River.
No wonder, this army chose to stop here.
Three thousand soldiers, plus military servants and logistics officers, could not be stationed in the city. This also made Zhang Xing and his party, who had been on the road for three days, no longer had to cross the Wohe River, but found a military camp that had been significantly repaired and expanded on a Gaogang on the other side of the city's father city...
When they arrived in front of the military camp, everyone suddenly saw a plaque hanging on the military camp, with the three words "Longgang Village" written on it, and the ink marks seemed to be new.
Seeing the visitor, the guards in the military camp had already woken up, so they came out to ask questions with weapons.
Zhang Xing didn't play tricks, and directly showed Bai Shou on the horse, clearly telling the other party his identity, saying that he wanted to meet the local general. The guard heard that he was an official figure from Jing'antai, and saw that the horse was quite packed, so he didn't feel embarrassed. After a little check, he led it in directly.
Then, a private civil servant came to welcome him, and both sides said and turned to the side room next to the main building of the main village for a rest. Only then did Zhang Xing realize that the landlord would be a Yingyanglang general who had already entered the house. He was like Zhou Xingfan's family, and was a generational general in the Jianghuai area, and he was considered half a descendant of the general.
Called Chen Ling.
Of course, this is also impossible, it is too hasty.
After the two sides had some names and official positions, Zhang Xing said that he was ordered to come and ask for a visit, just asking to talk to the general in person. The document also agreed and turned around and left.
However, it was from now on that, things were wrong and the documents were gone, and they would not reply for a long time.
Although Zhang Xing and others were impatient at first, they could still understand and accept it. After all, you were an uninvited guest. Who knows what the head of the family is doing? It is even possible to soak your feet in Chengfu City, which is more than ten miles away on the other side of the river.
However, when the group arrived in the afternoon, they went directly into the side room of the main building of the main village. They waited until dusk and no one came again, which made people think that they and their group were forgotten.
At this time, the Jinyi patrolmen who had worked hard all the way could not help but feel a little arrogant, but Zhang Xing was calm instead.
When the sky was completely dark, something even more interesting happened. Many military servants and slaves came in outside, lit candles and braziers, served hot soup and supper, and even good wine. Then there was still no one in charge.
This is how you know you are here, you still ignore you.
In response to this, Zhang Xing still did not move, just drank soup and ate vegetables, and continued to sit still after eating.
Finally, when it was dark at night, the document finally appeared again, and then he repeatedly bowed his hands to reimburse him. Zhang Xing didn't care, but just wanted to see the leader.
The document had no choice but to lead a group of people into the main building.
When he entered the main building, under the lights, Zhang Xing turned around and finally saw the Ying Yanglang General in the private hall behind the upper floor.
"I've met General Chen."
After Zhang Xingshan came in, he bowed and bowed without any confusion.
Chen Ling was tall, with a red date face, wearing brocade casual clothes, drinking tea in the seat, and there were even four or five beautiful maids beside him. When he saw the other party coming to worship, he just raised his hand... Mo said, "I got up and returned the gift, and didn't even say a decent word, and didn't even point to a seat."
Qin Er and the others following behind were stunned, but Zhang Xing was still calm.
Next, this person spoke directly, but it was even more speechless: "You are here to find me. Are you going to open a store in the Metasequoia forest next to you? Metasequoia forest is really a good place. It is a thoroughfare in the Central Plains, and merchants from both sides and the south and the left and right. Since I have been stationed here for a long time and have a high official position, I naturally have to eat the Metasequoia forest... However, my store here is divided into grades, and the store on three rooms and two floors will start with 100 taels... I wonder how much money did your previous family give?"
Qin Er and Zhou Gongzi were both numb.
But Zhang Xing was even more straightforward and just bowed: "The rules on the road are untrue. The money is next door. Please let our people take it in person to submit it for verification."
The other party obviously stuttered in the seat, but moved his butt and pointed to the separate seat on the side: "Far from afar, he is a guest, and a brother with an official face, this person is sitting in a white dress."
Zhang Xingnuu said to Zhou Xingfan, then walked over and sat down. Zhou Xingfan went to get the money, but Qin Er and others could only stand there. Seeing four or five more maids gathered around Zhang Sanlang to serve tea, raise the stove, burn incense, etc., and Zhang Sanlang also refused to refuse.
After a while, Zhou Xingfan came back with a big package. Zhang Xing was not panicked at all, and stopped tea again and pointed smartly: "First take out the copybook of Wang Zuojun that my brother gave me, and then you will show it to General Chen for personal display!"
Zhou Xingfan immediately took out the copybook in public and stepped forward and handed it calmly.
Then Chen Ling didn't move in the seat and leaned forward to pick him up.
And at this moment, Zhang Xing suddenly spoke up at the seat: "General Chen... This person is the son of our previous family, his surname is Zhou!"
Chen Ling was stunned for a moment, looked up, but he actually felt familiar. Then his eyelids twitched and his hands were slowed down.
"Xiao Zhou." Zhang Xingfu came to call Zhou Xingfan again. "I am a little disrespectful to you when I report your father's name... You can tell General Chen yourself."
Mr. Zhou was so smart that he immediately bent down respectfully in the strange eyes of Qin Er and others, and then held the copybook in both hands to Chen Ling:
"General Chen is here, and his father Zhou Xiaoming, formerly the deputy general manager of Xuzhou, is now the deputy governor of Jiangdu... Now he has presented a copybook of Wang Zuojun. He wants to find a family of three rooms and two-story houses in Metasequoia forest, which is the thoroughfare of the city father, to serve as a foundation for his family. He also asks General Chen to take care of him."

Chen Ling hung there with one hand, and he didn't answer, and he couldn't speak for half a day.
Fortunately, his face was as bright as a date, and he couldn't see that his face was blushing.
Zhang Xing just looked at the other person in a cold manner, just to see if this person is a real person or a performer!
PS: Good night everyone!
