Murong Fu and Shuang'er rested in the town for one night, and went straight to Shijiazhuang the next day, but they failed. Wu Zhirong had already left for the Zhili Governor's Palace in Zhending Prefecture yesterday.
Speaking of this, I have to mention that the current Hebei is still called Zhili, and the current Shijiazhuang has not yet risen. It is just a little-known small village affiliated to Zhending Prefecture. The name Zhending Prefecture may be a bit unfamiliar.
, but if we talk about "Changshan Zhao Zilong", then everyone must know it, and Changshan is actually Zhending.
Originally, in order to suppress Wu Sangui, the Qing government set up the Governor's Palace of Zhili in Daming Mansion in the southernmost part of Hebei Province. However, after Wu Sangui rebelled, he directly killed the original Governor of Zhili and moved the Governor's Palace to Zhending Mansion.
This is because Zhending Mansion governs many dangerous passes such as Tumen Pass, Daoma Pass, and Longquan Pass. It controls the dangers of Taihang and the key points of Hebei. Going north can frighten the capital, and going west threatens Taiyuan. It is a must for military strategists.
This place was also the best place Wu Sangui could choose to dominate after leaving Shanhaiguan.
Of course, in addition to its special geographical location, Zhending Mansion is also one of the few big cities in the north that is as famous as Taiyuan and the capital. There is a proverb among the people that "Flower Zhending Mansion, Splendid Taiyuan City" is spread. In addition, Zhending Mansion is also
Together with the capital and Baoding, it is also known as the "Three Heroic Towns in the North", which shows its importance.
Murong Fu and Shuang'er hurried all the way, and arrived at Zhending City a few hours later. The city gate was guarded by heavy troops without exception, and people who came in and out were strictly checked.
"Ms. sir, they are checking so strictly. I'm afraid it won't be easy for us to enter the city. Should we wait until dark to see?" Shuang'er frowned slightly and said with a hint of worry.
Murong Fu pondered for a moment, "Shuang'er, I remember the intelligence said that Wu Yingxiong is also in Zhending Mansion?"
Shuang'er nodded, "Yes, after the original Governor of Zhili was killed, Wu Sangui did not appoint a new Governor of Zhili, but let his son personally sit in the Governor's Mansion. That dog officer Wu Zhirong surrendered early, so he got it
He holds the position of governor, assisting Wu Yingxiong from the side."
Murong Fu read a lot of information sent by the Crystal Palace along the way and learned that Wu Sangui was not in Hebei. This made him a little disappointed, but Wu Yingxiong was an unexpected surprise.
Thinking of this, he smiled slightly and said to Shuang'er, "Shuang'er, there's no need to wait until dark. Do you believe that my husband can ask Wu Yingxiong to come out to greet us in person?"
Shuang'er broke through Shanhaiguan with him more than half a year ago. Naturally, he knew the relationship between Wu Sangui's family and him, but he didn't know that Wu Yingxiong had been tricked into using his mind. Besides, it was different from the past. Wu Sangui had already set up a banner to claim the throne, and the next step was to ascend the throne and claim the title.
Emperor, Wu Yingxiong's status has also increased. It may not be realistic for him to go out of the city to greet someone in person.
Her thoughts turned, and she advised tactfully, "Ms. sir, our status is quite special. It is not appropriate to have close contacts with the Wu family. If this spreads to the ears of the people in the Tiandihui and the Golden Snake Camp, it will inevitably fall into the trap again. It is better not to be alarmed.
Wu Yingxiong is here, let’s just find a way to sneak in quietly."
When Murong Fu saw her big eyes rolling, he knew that she didn't mean what she said, so he shook his head in a funny way, "Shuang'er, why do you need to worry about other people's faces when you act as a father-in-law? Wait, I'll call the door right now."
Shuang'er immediately became anxious, "Ms. sir, don't..."
Murong Fu paused, gently pushed her arm away, and pinched her little face, "Silly girl, if I didn't find Wu Yingxiong, how could I kill Wu Zhirong? How could I give you and the Third Young Mistress an explanation?"
Shuang'er's heart was shocked, and she held his hand tightly with her backhand, "Shuang'er will go with you!"
"Relax, don't act like you are following a law enforcement field."
Murong Fu said with a smile, picked up Shuang'er and walked towards the city gate.
"Stop!" When the two arrived in front of the city gate, several soldiers wearing black armor and holding long guns immediately surrounded them. "What are you doing? Didn't you see the queue over there?"
Murong Fu spread his hands and said, "Sorry, I don't like queuing. Also, I don't like walking through small doors. You go and open the door. I want to go in through the door."
When the black-armored army heard this, they burst out laughing, as if they had heard some big joke.
"Hahaha, boy, are you a fool? Don't you know where this place is?"
"Boy, don't look for trouble, just go in line honestly, otherwise don't blame us for giving you a hard time."
"This kid knows that our brothers are bored and is deliberately trying to make us laugh, right?"
…
This commotion was not a big one, and it immediately alarmed the people lining up at the side door, as well as the officers on duty. A rough-looking man walked over and shouted, "What's going on? Who told you to neglect your duties?"
The soldiers stopped laughing, and one of them stepped forward to report, "General Qi, a troublemaker has arrived. We will send him away immediately."
After saying this and waving his hands, two soldiers stepped forward and reached out to grab Murong Fu's arm without saying a word.
Murong Fu stood motionless. When Shuang'er was about to step forward, he pulled him behind him. He saw the soldier's arm about to fall on his shoulders. Suddenly, a burst of white light burst out. With a bang, the two soldiers moved with great speed.
He flew backwards at high speed, and when he landed, blood surged from his mouth, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
Everyone was shocked when they saw this, and then became furious. They drew their swords, bows and arrows.
"You'd better not act rashly. I don't want to go on a killing spree today." Murong Fu said with a faint smile. He turned his eyes and landed on the general named Wang. He stretched out his hand and a suction force suddenly appeared out of thin air.
General Wang's figure flew over involuntarily and fell into his palm.
"Listen, I'm only going to say this once. I want to see Wu Yingxiong. Can you inform me?" Murong Fu looked at General Wang calmly, as if looking at an ant that could be easily crushed to death.
For him now, it is indeed unfair to say that the other party is an ant.
General Wang was already panicking. He calmed down a little when he heard Wu Yingxiong's name. The feeling of suffocation became more and more intense. He quickly replied, "Yes, I will report it right away. I hope you will show mercy!"
"Remember, don't try to play tricks, otherwise your death will be in vain." Murong Fu warned him indifferently and let go of him.
After General Wang landed, he didn't care about wheezing or coughing. He almost fled the place on his hands and feet. It wasn't until he returned to the middle of the army that he started coughing violently.
Murong Fu stood with his hands behind his hands, a smile on his face, as if he was not worried at all that General Wang would go back on his word.
After a while, General Wang regained his breath. He glanced at Murong Fu with a gloomy look and was waiting for an order. Suddenly, his eyes were fixed and his face became extremely pale. "You...are you Murong Fu from Gusu?"
Surprise flashed across Murong Fu's face, and then he was a little displeased, "Exactly, but I don't like your expression very much. Just like how scary the name 'Murong Fu' is, am I that scary?"
General Wang struggled to squeeze out a very ugly smile, and bowed his hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, I'm just ignorant. I hope Mr. Murong won't take offense."
"Okay, go and ask Wu Yingxiong to come out!"
"Yes, the little one will go right away."
General Wang rode away without daring to stop at all.
The people watching not far away began to whisper.
"Gusu Murongfu, where have you heard this name before?"
"I said, brother, he doesn't come from the deep mountains and old forests, right? Master Murong's name has spread all over the country, and you don't know about it?"
"Not to mention, brother, I really came from the countryside. What great thing did Murong Fu do to become so famous?"
"A few months ago, Master Murong was ordered to face danger and led his army to block the Mongolian cavalry at the foot of Xiangyang City. He finally defeated Temujin, routed 800,000 cavalry, and saved the Song Dynasty."
"Hey, this guy's news is out of date. I heard that after the Xiangyang battle, Prince Murong led the troops to pursue him and beat the Tatars into hiding. Even Temujin was killed by him. The Mongolian Yuan Dynasty had no choice but to
Retreat outside the pass..."
Suddenly, the major events that Murong Fu had done some time ago were revealed again, and spread into different versions. The people looked at him with respect and admiration.
Shuang'er listened carefully on the side, and his little face couldn't help showing a happy smile, "Did you hear that, sir? The people all say that you are a great hero and a great hero."
Murong Fu sighed in distress, "Oh, how can you praise someone in person? This is not good..."
After waiting for a while, the city gate slowly opened, and a group of cavalry came on horseback. The leader was Wu Yingxiong, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. He dismounted from his horse at a long distance, trotted up to Murong Fu, and bent down deeply.
A salute, "The little king didn't know that the young master was coming. I hope that the young master will forgive the crime of neglecting the young master for not welcoming me!"
Seeing this scene, the people watching were dumbfounded. Ever since Wu Sangui raised his army, Wu Yingxiong had been so arrogant that he was so servile to Murong Fu. It is unimaginable that if he didn't know that he was Wu Sangui, what if he didn't know that he was Wu Sangui?
If not for Murong Fu being so young, they might have thought that he was Murong Fu's biological son.
Murong Fu looked Wu Yingxiong up and down, and saw that he was wearing a brocade python robe, very neatly dressed, but his face was a little pale, and his aura was more feminine, his eyes flickered, and he said, "Xiao Wu, it doesn't matter whether you are welcomed or not.
, It’s rare that you still remember me, this is beyond my expectation.”
"What did the young master say? How could Xiao Wang forget the young master? He will remember it all the time." Wu Yingxiong said flatteringly. Seeing the people around him casting strange looks, he changed the subject and whispered, "
Young Master, this is not the place to talk. If you don’t want to give up, please come to the house and have a chat.”
Murong Fu glanced around and nodded slightly, "That's fine. I heard that you and your son have built a palace and plan to stay here permanently. It will be a good time for me to visit."
"Young master is joking. We only built a governor's palace, which cannot be called a palace..." Wu Yingxiong smiled apologetically and motioned to the soldiers to bring two horses over.
Murong Fu waved his hand, "No need, I like walking."
"That's okay, Xiao Wang will also accompany the young master on his walk."?
