Chapter 177 A besieged city

After returning from the capital, Xu Cai returned to Le'an to report the situation, the Beijing camp requisitioned horses from the people's homes to make up for the shortcomings in the army and there were signs of large-scale warfare, Zhu Heng submitted Zhang Ning's manifesto to the King of Han.

At this time, the capital and Le'an were incompatible, and this slightly extreme manifesto was foolproof.

Sure enough, the King of Han praised Zhu Heng's loyalty in public, and ordered the manifesto to be passed on to the whole city and ordered the army to prepare.

At this time, Old Xu was treated well and could not escape from Zhu Heng's mansion.

After Zhu Heng returned home, he asked him, it would be fine if he was unwilling to tell who the person who wrote the article behind the scenes, but he didn't know where the person was doing this?

If you want to be appreciated in front of the King of Han, Zhu Heng promised to help introduce and recommend a talent for the King of Han.

Lao Xu didn't know anything when he asked, and spoke cautiously.

Zhu Heng planned to let him go back to pass the message, and wrote a letter that expressed his appreciation for Zhang Ning's talent, wanted to invite him to meet in Le'an and promise to treat him with courtesy.

With Zhu Heng's instructions, Lao Xu safely left Le'an City. He confirmed that he was not followed by someone and then returned to the Zhuangzi where Zhang Ning was.

Zhang Ning, Taohua Fairy, Chunmei, who warded off the cult, and Lao Xu went to the study to discuss secretly. While he looked at Zhu Heng's letters carefully, he asked Lao Xu: Have you discovered the strategy of the King of Han...that is, what should they do in the general direction, go south or take the capital directly?

Old Xu shook his head and said: After I saw Zhu Heng, I was always watched. Before he agreed to let me come back to report the news, he couldn't even leave half a step and didn't find anything.However, when I came back and passed by the city, I realized that the troops were mobilized more frequently, and the capital might have sent troops to quell the rebellion.

Zhang Ning handed the letter in his hand to the people around him, paced back and forth in front of the desk, and pondered: Based on my article, my understanding of the court and the officialdom, and my writing rules, Zhu Heng could definitely guess that I was an official.Should I take the risk of going into the city to meet him?

The Taohua Fairy hurriedly advised: The world is dangerous, and Le'an City is even more dangerous than the world. Once the adults enter the city, the imperial army will surround the city. How can they get out?

Zhang Ning said: If the officers and soldiers enter Shandong, the King of Han has not taken any action yet and the situation is hopeless. Why should we wait for the siege of the city?

The Peach Blossom Fairy said: If we meet Zhu Heng, if we don’t tell us about our true identity and let Zhu Heng trust us, he probably won’t believe in a person of unknown origin; if he shows his identity, will he arrest us for his crime in front of Zhu Zhanji in a hurry?

He, a core planner who participated in the rebellion of the Han King, could not defeat me? Even ten Zhang Ping'ans could not defeat Zhu Heng's serious crime of treason.Zhang Ning said.

Lao Xu also started persuading him.Zhang Ning remained silent, and suddenly saw a butterfly sticking on the window paper, flapping his wings half dead. He was interested and staring at the butterfly in a daze.

Seeing this, everyone stopped for a while and looked at him and the little animals on the window in confusion.

After a while, Zhang Ning looked back at a few people, pointed at the butterfly and said: There is a saying that a butterfly flapping its wings here may cause a big storm in the East China Sea... It's a long way to go, you may think this is a strange theory.But I think it is worth taking a risk to see Zhu Heng. Maybe it was because I slightly affected Zhu Heng, and then Zhu Heng affected the decision of the King of Han again, which eventually led to completely different results.Once the Han King collapses...

He paused and said in a calm tone: Woman won’t go, you guys are waiting here.

Everyone knew that he had made a decision, and it would be useless to persuade him any more.At this time, Wenjun said: I'll go too... Grandpa and the boss are both in Le'an, what's the point of staying?

Zhang Ning glanced at her and said: You can live with the Taohua Fairy and the others.

The time to make a decision is very short, and Zhang Ning has shown the greatest courage. Taking risks can sometimes be called bravery, right?

But brave people are not fearless, at least Zhang Ning is not. He ordered to set off early tomorrow morning, but he was afraid of insomnia at night.

Isn’t a besieged city a place of life and death in his eyes?

I calculated the various dangers I might encounter and how to deal with them.

But the plan may be just for self-comfort.

He thought: Maybe people are taking risks, but the difference is only the length of danger.

Short dangers, such as going to a besieged city now, fear comes even more intense; but avoiding danger and hiding in a corner is also a kind of chronic suicide?

Without living space and no place to stand, he will truly feel slowly falling and decay.

If you don’t struggle for a moment, your life will be even worse than your previous life.

If you don’t even have a legal identity, you will soon become a loser.

Maybe you can live without a sense of security, maybe you will be conspired to death by some people, and those who are guilty in an illegal world are more likely to get rid of the sanctions of the rules.

The next morning, Zhang Ning took out a clean blue collar robe from his luggage and replaced it with a white lining.

Although it is Hanfu, he is more suitable for this dress, which is a bit like the suit he wore in his previous life. At least the color and feeling can be compared.

I didn't sleep well last night, but after some preparation, I was still in good spirits. He tried hard to keep himself in a better state.

The women's reluctance and confusing eyes were shrouded in this strange manor with sorrow of separation. At this moment, Zhang Ning felt better. The poetic and literary emotions created by the predecessors and presents have given meaning to many things that were originally meaningless.

A group of four horsemen walked along the small path with crops on both sides on the road, and rode their horses to Le'an City not far.

The roads on the northern plains are relatively wide and flat, but they are all dirt roads, with relatively dry climates and a lot of dust under the horse's hooves.

The four people were speechless along the way, and neither Lao Xu nor Jiang's surname was a complaint.

In less than half a day, a city on the flat ground appeared in sight.

At the end of the farmland, the water from the moat was sparkling, and the city tower looked taller on the flat ground.

Zhang Ning, who had been in a natural and quiet environment for a few days, seemed to have smelled the densely populated smell at this time.

The city is the center of the vast land. When people live here, humans seem to have become stronger, because many people share any major disaster.

Once closer, you can see armed soldiers on the battlements and rows of guards at the city gate. Sure enough, the appearance of Le'an City is full of the atmosphere of war, even if the fields outside the city are still quiet.

Old Xu said loudly: Before Lord Zhu sent someone to see me off, he gave me a warrant, and we entered through the south gate, and maybe the soldiers guarding the gate would recognize me.
