Chapter 148 Please Invite This Lucky Person

Jiang Qi hid in a small courtyard, looking exhausted.

He didn't expect that the imperial troops would arrive so quickly, and he didn't receive any news at all.

Fortunately, he didn't like living in the military camp, so he managed to escape during the first round of raids.

Listening to the sound of horse hooves coming from outside the wall from time to time, Jiang Qi spat in hatred.

This is what people do all over the world, so why should we arrest the Poyang Lake navy?

What bad luck!

At this time, a sturdy young man came in and asked, "Brother, one is good news and the other is bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

"Is there good news at this time?" Jiang Qi was stunned and asked back.

"The good news is that your dream of becoming famous has come true. The bad news is that you are wanted. As long as you provide effective information, you can get fifty taels of silver."

Just as the young man finished speaking, he saw Jiang Qi climb up the wall like a lizard, then flip over and disappear into the yard.

"Brother?!"

This is Jiang Qi's unique light skill, the skill of climbing walls like a centipede. After leaving the yard, he didn't dare to take the main road and could only move along the mountain paths.

When he arrived at the outskirts of Leting Town, he saw that the soldiers had set up roadblocks and started checking the vendors passing by.

Jiang Qi was helpless and could only continue to pass through the mountains. It was obvious at a glance that these soldiers were from Jiangxi and were not good at mountain warfare.

But after leaving Leting Town, where can I go?
First go to Poyang County and take the silver bills hidden in the wall, which is all his belongings.

Only if you have money can you live a good life somewhere else.

However, as he groped his way through the mountains for a while, he heard rustling footsteps coming from all around him.

He immediately slid up to the top of the tree. Looking around, he saw an army searching the mountain not far away.

When Jiang Qi saw that they were walking on the forest as if it were flat ground, he knew that this group of people were not simple.

He had to change his route and try to avoid these soldiers entering the mountain.

At the same time, there is an elegant and unique palace on Wenmiao Street in Poyang County, which is the Huaijing Palace.

The first Huaijing King was Zhu Zhan'ao, the seventh son of Emperor Renzong Zhu Gaochi of the Ming Dynasty, and his mother was Consort Li Xianfei. He was named Huaiwang in the 22nd year of Yongle, and became a vassal in Shaoguan, Guangdong in the 4th year of Xuande. Later, because of the many malaria in Shaoguan, he was moved to Poyang County, Raozhou Prefecture in the first year of Zhengtong, and was posthumously named "Jing".

The current one is the third Prince of Huai, Zhu Youqi, who is only sixteen years old. As your name suggests, Emperor Zhengde has to call him Uncle Prince.

However, Zhu Youqi had been in poor health since childhood, so the princess personally invited Zhang Xuanqing, the 47th generation Heavenly Master of Mount Longhu, to treat him. Seeing that he was intelligent, Zhang Xuanqing taught him the "Longhu Mountain Yi Jin Xi Sui Huan Huan Gong".

Zhu Youqi has been practicing this skill for six years, and at least he no longer needs help from others to take two steps like he did when he was a child.

Prince Huai was reading in his room when the palace steward walked in and whispered, "Your Highness, the Imperial Academy editor Ou Zanghua and the eunuch Wei Bin of the Imperial Household Department have led troops to Leting Town in Poyang County. They must be there to regulate the Poyang Lake navy."

"Oh?"

Zhu Youqi raised his eyes and said gently: "Grind ink for me!"

The steward of the palace immediately walked to the desk, poured some water into the inkstone, and began to grind ink.

Zhu Youqi came over, picked up a pen and wrote two invitations. After the ink dried, he handed them to the steward and instructed, "Send someone to deliver them to Leting Town."

"Yes."

In Leting Town, Wei Bin was preparing to escort the criminal general back to Beijing, but before he could leave, he received an invitation from Prince Huai.

He was slightly stunned, then he remembered that Prince Huai was only sixteen years old, so he could do such a simple thing.

"Has Lord Ou received the invitation?" Wei Bin looked at the manager who delivered the invitation and asked indifferently.

The steward bowed and replied, "In response to what the eunuch said, Lord Ou also has a copy." "In that case, I will go with Lord Ou." The steward immediately agreed after hearing this.

He then left Wei Bin's room and, under the guidance of a soldier, came to a small courtyard next to the military camp, where Ou Zanghua was working.

The steward handed over the invitation as well and said, "Sir Ou, my prince admires your talent very much, please be sure to come."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness." Ou Zanghua was ready to refuse. He was a court official, so why would he have anything to do with the prince?

But on second thought, he remembered that he still held the title of Deputy Censor of Jiangxi Province. According to etiquette, as a local official, he was required to visit the King of Huai on a regular basis.

After all, he is the king and I am the minister.

Originally, the visit to Prince Ning should have been made in this way in Nanchang Prefecture, but with the Left Censor-in-Chief Chen Jin and the Nanchang Prefect Li Chengxun in charge, there was no need for a little Karami like Ou Zanghua to join in the fun.

Now that I'm in Poyang County and have become the tall one, I have to face these things.

Sighing secretly, Ou Zanghua put down the invitation and said gently: "I understand. Please wait for a moment."

After the hour of You, Ou Zanghua finally gained control of the entire Poyang Lake navy. He was shocked to find that there were 4,800 registered soldiers, but in reality there were only about 2,000.

These people are really brave!

Ou Zanghua had never expected that by the middle of the Ming Dynasty, these losers would dare to collect salaries without doing any work.

So Jiang Qi cannot die yet!
After realizing this, Ou Zanghua quickly called Zuo Lengchan and told his brothers to capture him alive.

As it was getting dark, Ou Zanghua reluctantly got into the carriage and drove towards the Prince Huai's Mansion in Poyang County with Wei Bin.

He leaned back in the carriage feeling a little tired, and inexplicably missed Qu Feiyan's massage.

At this moment, Ou Zanghua suddenly felt a muffled sound coming from under the carriage. He suddenly opened his eyes and woke up instantly.

Mu Gaoweng, who was driving the carriage for him, naturally noticed something was wrong. He was stunned and pretended to be calm and asked, "Sir, do you want to pull over and rest for a while?"

"No need, don't let the prince wait too long." Ou Zanghua said with a bit of fatigue in his tone.

After hearing this, Mu Gaoweng immediately responded, "Yes, then, sir, sit tight, I'm going to speed up."

Jiang Qi, who was hiding under the car, heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. Under the pressure of the team of Songshan disciples led by Fei Bin, Zhong Zhen, Zhang Jingchao and Bu Chen, the range of his movement was getting smaller and smaller.

In this situation, he had no choice but to take a risk. He took advantage of the sky and the shadows of the trees and quickly got under Ou Zanghua's car.

At this moment, he used his inner strength to perform the wall-climbing skill, and clung to the bottom of the carriage with his limbs. He watched the carriage pass through the roadblock unhindered and walked out of Leting Town.

Ou Zanghua was calm. He opened the window and looked at Ding Mian who was riding in front of the carriage. He used his inner strength to control his voice and said, "Uncle Ding, there is a person hiding under my carriage."

This move was a little trick that Ou Zanghua had developed while using internal energy to teach over the past three months. He had never expected that the thing he had created for fun would actually come in handy one day.

After hearing Ou Zanghua's reminder, Ding Mian trembled, and then looked at his junior brother Lu Bai opposite him.

Ou Zanghua continued, "If I'm not mistaken, this person should be Jiang Qi. He will enter Poyang County soon. Please ask Uncle Ding and Uncle Lu to keep an eye on him. I will ask Mr. Gao to support you because I want to survive."

After hearing this, Ding Mian nodded slightly, and then looked at Mu Gaoweng who was driving the carriage with some concern.

Ou Zanghua smiled and said gently, "Uncle Ding, don't worry. The Jinyiwei around Wei Zhongxiang are quite powerful. My safety is guaranteed."

Ding Mian finally felt relieved. He looked at Lu Bai opposite him and saw him nod, obviously he also received the message from Ou Zanghua.

The three masters adjusted their positions and kept a close eye on the movements of the carriage.

After entering Poyang County, Ou Zanghua deliberately asked Mu Gaoweng to stop the car and asked him to buy a meat pie for him to fill his stomach.

There were not many pedestrians on the street, but there was a small alley at the stop. Jiang Qi observed for a while and made sure that the other party's attention was not on him. Then he got off from under the carriage and quickly got into the alley in a strange posture.

Ding Mian and Lu Bai quickly followed, and Mu Gaoweng followed closely behind.

A soldier came over and took over Mu Gaoweng's job, and took Ou Zanghua to continue driving towards the palace.
