Chapter 628: Numb scalp

When Lin Shan received the escort order, his scalp was numb. The governor had to go to Qingzhou by waterway!

He thought to himself that he would be safe on this journey and nothing would happen, otherwise he would be torn to pieces by everyone in Pingzhou.

He waited for the governor and his party at Fangxian Pier.

Lu Songli and Qin Sheng were saying goodbye to Lu Desheng, while Xue Xu was walking towards Linshan.

Lin Shan was surprised, "Mr. Xue, are you traveling together?"

He murmured in his heart, doesn't Mr. Xue hate traveling far the most?

As we all know, Mr. Xue is famous for taking care of himself and never goes to dangerous places.

Xue Xu: He wants to protect the governor! He followed an old man to Qingzhou because he was afraid that they would not protect him well.

"Let's go and see what your arrangements are."

"it is good."

Then Xue Xu used his many years of life-saving experience to give pointers to Lin Shan's arrangements.

"You are so aggressive and prepared, are you afraid that others will not know that there is an important person in the ship, right?"

Lin Shan humbly asked for advice, "What should we do?"

"Just leave it as it was before. You just need to adjust a few key areas..."

When Lu Songli boarded the ship, it was already an hour later.

Beihai Pier

Knowing that the governor was coming to Qingzhou, Wu Ren, Young Master Ji and Tao Xun estimated the arrival date of their party and arrived at the dock two days in advance to wait.

On this day, the news finally arrived that Pingzhou Caobang's ship was about to dock.

Tao Xun pulled Wu Ren and said, "Please help me see if there is anything inappropriate in my clothes."

Wu Ren replied patiently, "No problem, very decent."

"Is it really okay?" Tao Xun asked Young Master Ji again.

Young Master Ji was left speechless by him, "Okay, you've asked me several times, it's okay!"

Tao Xun muttered that this was his first time meeting the governor and he had to leave a good impression on him.

"Come down, come down!"

Qin Sheng escorted Lu Songli off the boat, and Xue Xu and Sun Congyi followed him, but Lin Shan did not get off the boat.

The three hundred elites accompanying him were unloading the goods.

Lu Songli and the others were pretending to be delivery merchants on their trip.

"Sixth Master and Sixth Madam." Looking at the people coming down, Wu Ren and others couldn't hide their excitement in their voices.

Lu Songli's trip was kept secret. The title of Governor was too special, so they could only call her the Sixth Lady at this time.

Lu Songli came to the three of them and said to Wu Ren and Mr. Ji, "You have worked hard these past two years."

Wu Ren and Young Master Ji said in unison, "It's not hard."

Lu Songli encouraged them a few more words, then looked at Tao Xun aside and smiled gently, "Are you Tao Xun?"

Tao Xun, who had been listening attentively, did not expect to be called by name. He immediately said excitedly, "Yes, it's me."

"I know everything you have done for Pingzhou. Work hard. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can tell Wu Ren. We are all our own people. If we can help, we will definitely help."

"Yes!" Tao Xun nodded frequently.

Lu Songli and his party then moved to the large courtyard prepared by Wu Ren.

Because it was inconvenient for Lu Songli to reveal his identity on the invitation, the appointment with Zhang Zhongxian did not go smoothly. All those who wanted to visit him were turned away and avoided by him.

Lu Songli said immediately, "Let's go directly."

In this compartment, Xie Zhan and his party traveled five to six hundred miles a day without stopping. After entering the territory of Qingzhou, they directly asked the Qingzhou governor to lead the way to Beihai County.

While he was drinking water and taking a breath, the governor of Qingzhou said, "Mr. Zhang's home is just ahead."

Lu Songli and her group came to the door of Zhang's house, and her people came to knock on the door.

As soon as the door opened, Zhang Ci saw them and without waiting for them to speak, he said directly, "Everyone, please go back. My father doesn't see any outsiders." He was about to close the door, but was blocked.

"Brother Zhang, wait a minute." Wu Ren walked out from the side, "My Lord has come all the way and wants to visit Mr. Zhang. Please tell me, Brother Zhang."

Wu Ren was quite famous in Qingzhou. Zhang Ci was surprised when he saw him. Thinking about what he just said, "Your lord?" Isn't that the one from the Northeast?

Wu Ren nodded slowly, then stepped aside slightly. Zhang Ci saw that the leader in front was wearing men's clothing, but it was obvious that he was a girl.

Lu Songli, who was wearing men's clothing, nodded slightly to Zhang Ci, "It's troublesome."

Zhang Ci was frightened. It was Lu Songli, the Lord of Pingzhou, who came in person! He stammered the word "wait a moment" and walked inside.

As soon as he returned, he heard his father ask without raising his head, "Have they been sent away?"

"without--"

Zhang Zhongxian was very dissatisfied when he heard this, "Didn't I tell you that you won't see anyone when you come?"

"Dad, please go out and take a look." His heart was pounding.

Zhang Zhongxian looked up and frowned when he saw the excited and dazed look on his face. With his son's reaction, could there be something wrong with the identity of the person coming?

He went out with a sullen face and his hands behind his back.

Zhang Ci thought for a while and followed quickly, "Dad, this person is of high status..." You should take it easy.

Zhang Zhongxian opened the door and looked straight ahead. Lu Songli also looked towards him.

Inside and outside the door, an old man and a young man looked at each other.

Zhang Zhongxian was thirty-five years old in the twenty-third year of Tianxi. Ten years later, he is now forty-five years old. This age will be in the prime of life in later generations.

But at this time, Zhang Zhongxian looked old, with obvious ravines on her face and bags under her eyes. Although she was only two years older than her father, she looked more than ten years older.

Obviously, he has suffered a lot in his heart these years.

Lu Songli bowed her hands to the younger generation, "I am Lu Songli from Pingzhou. I have heard about Mr. Zhang for a long time. I wonder if I can come in and talk about it?"

Zhang Zhongxian felt a little moved when he heard that Lu Songli revealed his identity and that the Lord of Pingzhou came to visit him personally.

"come in."

Qin Sheng protected Lu Songli as he entered.

A small number of people from the entourage followed him inside, while the others dispersed around to be on guard.

Lu Songli had just sat down and picked up the tea that the Zhang family had just served. Before she drank it, Sun Congyi came to call Qin Sheng, "Sixth Master——"

Qin Sheng: "I'll go out and take a look."

what's the situation? Zhang Ci felt uneasy.

Lu Songli and Zhang Zhongxian were quite calm.

"I wonder why Governor Lu came here in person?"

"Mr. Zhang is so refreshing. Let me just get straight to the point and explain why I'm here. The reason I'm here this time is to ask Mr. Zhang to come out and preside over legislation for Pingzhou."

Zhang Zhongxian was surprised and was about to speak.

At this moment, Qin Sheng came back, his expression was not very good, "Lili——"

"what's up?"

"A group of people are coming this way."

Um? Lu Songli raised her eyebrows.

Zhang Zhongxian on the side frowned when he heard this.

Qin Sheng: "I have a feeling that the other party is not a good person. Let's leave first." Nothing is as important as her safety.

"Okay." Lu Songli listened and said, "Mr. Zhang, today is an unlucky day, so I can only visit you next time."

"Let's go slowly." Zhang Zhongxian and Zhang Ci stood up to see each other off.

After coming out of the yard, Qin Sheng helped her pull up the hood of her cloak, then surrounded her and left.

"Grand Governor, the situation ahead is not right." Xie Bai looked ahead.

Although Lu Songli, Qin Sheng and others realized that something was wrong, they left immediately and very quickly, but Xie Zhan and the others were galloping on horseback and came very quickly.

When the group of them arrived at the door of Zhang Zhongxian's house, they could still see the tail of the other team's team from a distance.

Sitting on Zhuifeng and leaning on Qin Sheng's arms, Lu Songli couldn't help but look back and saw the person wearing uniform Dali military uniform. She instantly guessed the identity of the person coming. As she said before, Xie Zhan was very foresight.

"Is this Zhang Zhongxian's home?" Xie Zhan asked the governor of Qingzhou.

"Yes Yes."

"Grand Governor, those people should have been evacuated from here just now. And they were very well-trained when they evacuated."

Thinking of some possibility, Xie Zhan's eyes flashed, and he immediately ordered Xie Bai, "Catch up!"

Then he ordered the Qingzhou governor, "mobilize all available troops and blockade the Beihai pier!"

Inside the door, Zhang Ci watched this scene with trepidation, "Dad, who is that next to the Qingzhou Governor?"

"Looking at his age and his demeanor, if I'm not wrong, he should be Xie Zhan, the Commander-in-Chief of the Dali Army." Zhang Zhongxian frowned.

Zhang Ci: It’s him?

For a moment, his scalp felt numb.

How did these two waves of people arrive at Qingzhou Beihai by chance?
