Zhang Mu rode his horse all the way and finally saw the majestic Linhai City.

Linhai City is the seat of Taizhou Prefecture's government office, where Li Yunchang is stationed.

Li Yunchang is now the deputy general of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and is in charge of Taizhou's coastal defense to resist Japanese pirates.

In the Ming Dynasty, only the positions of general, deputy general, general, guerrilla, and garrison were qualified to lead troops to the expedition.

He has the right to mobilize local guard soldiers.

However, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Metropolitan Command Department is not qualified to mobilize soldiers.

In this way, the generals can not recognize soldiers and soldiers, and prevent local officials from holding heavy troops and posing a threat to the imperial power.

Generally, generals or deputy generals have no rank, and are mostly trusted by dukes, lords, and people trusted by the emperor.

When war occurs, the emperor will order the general to go to war. When the war is over, the general will return to the court to report.

Li Yunchang was promoted to deputy general of Jiangsu and Zhejiang this time, which shows that the emperor appreciated him very much.

Zhang Mu turned over and got off the horse and saw soldiers outside Linhai City checking the people entering the city.

Zhang Mu thought to himself that it had been five days since the day of the accident. Even if the post horses at the post station ran slowly, the arrest warrant might have been transmitted to Taizhou.

It is very risky to enter the city like this.

So Zhang Mu simply went to the market outside the city, sold the horses, and spent money to change clothes with a beggar.

The beggar lived so big that he had never seen a person like Zhang Mu. He was wearing all his clothes without wearing them, and he had to ask for his ragged and dirty straight body.

Holding a string of money in his hand, he looked at Zhang Mu like a monster. He waited for Zhang Mu to disappear from his sight before the beggar muttered: "The rich people nowadays are really elusive."

Then, Zhang Mu found another dog-beating stick, made a broken bowl, spread his hair, and touched a handful of black and gray on his face. Whoever looked at it, they were all beggars.

Zhang Mu looked down and saw his outfit, and was very satisfied.

I thought to myself that although there were wanted orders and portraits, this was the Ming Dynasty after all. Who could recognize him dressed like this?

So he simply plucked up his courage and headed towards the gate of Linhai City.

Sure enough, when he arrived at the city gate, a small flag official glanced at Zhang Mu and let him go.

Zhang Mu entered Linhai City with a swagger.

Linhai City is larger than some other cities, with Dagu Mountain in the north, Wuzi Mountain in the south, Lingjiang River in the front, and the city walls are solid.

Due to the years of pirate invasion, the walls of Linhai City have been continuously strengthened, and guards are set up around them to train sailors. In recent years, Japanese pirates have no longer dared to come here to commit rash results.

Zhang Mu asked all the way and finally arrived at Linhai Yamen.

Li Yunchang is the deputy general, Zhang Mu speculated that most of them are probably living here.

However, the Linhai Yamen has strict access. After all, there is war now, and the guards outside are Li Yunchang's personal soldiers.

Zhang Mu sat on the stairs of the grocery store opposite the yamen. He waited for an afternoon and saw no sign of Li Yunchang at all.

As it was getting darker and the city was about to have a curfew, Zhang Mu was getting more and more anxious.

Just when he was in despair, a shout suddenly came.

The so-called shouting means that during the official's outing, the officer leading the way in front of him ordered the pedestrian to give way and avoid it.

When Zhang Mu turned around, Li Yunchang was sitting on the tall horse with a depressed look on his face and was dismounting.

Zhang Mu immediately stood up and rushed over. When Li Yunchang's personal soldiers saw that they had returned to the yamen, they also relaxed their vigilance.

Zhang Mu rushed to Li Yunchang and shouted: "Mr. Li, it's unfair."

The sunset at dusk burns the sky red.

In the hot Hangzhou, the heat has not yet dissipated.

In Tianxin Garden, the little princess sat on the swing under the flower stand, frowned with her beautiful eyebrows.

Yan Su took off her men's clothing, put on a pink-rock half-arm, tied a pink pomegranate skirt on her lower body, and her long black hair simply tied into a loose braid and drooped on her developing breasts.

A pair of Danfeng eyes, bright and energetic, and will be powerful without anger.

The little red lips under her nose were tempted to speak, and looking at her anxious and slightly angry look was really heartbreaking.

Her slender hands, which were like onion pieces, were tightly holding the black water flow, and each person stood behind the little princess with one knife. A murderous intent spread out, making the maids serving around dare not approach.

The little princess was depressed and accidentally kicked the soil under her feet and couldn't help but sigh.

"Your Highness, I'm here to say goodbye." Yan Su finally plucked up the courage to say.

After hearing this, the little princess quickly turned around and saw Yan Su. Her eyes lit up and said in surprise: "You look so beautiful when you wear women's clothes."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your praise. I have been here for a day, and it's time to say goodbye." Yan Su mentioned again.

"If you leave now, it will be very dangerous. I advise you to stay for another day. When you go to Fulong Temple to burn incense the day after tomorrow, I will send you out quietly." The little princess lowered her voice and said to the door.

Yan Su knew that since she entered Tianxin Garden, Geng Rui had been sending people to stare at her.

"I am worried about Zhang Mu's safety. If I can't find him for a day, I will not be relieved. As for those tails, I will throw them away, so I don't have to worry about you." Although Yan Su was grateful to the little princess for saving her, she did not want to receive this favor from the little princess.

After all, in Yan Su's heart, the little princess poses a great threat to her, so her tone is inevitably stiffer.

"Sister Yan, what is your relationship with Zhang Mu?" The little princess finally couldn't help asking.

Originally, Yan Su was rescued that day and planned to take him back to Tianxin Garden, but Geng Rui repeatedly stopped him, saying that there was something different between men and women.

So Yan Su simply revealed his identity, which made Geng Rui have nothing to say, which surprised the little princess.

Zhang Mu kept her by his side all the time, and even a fool could guess that their relationship was unusual.

The soul of the gossip in the little county's body burned.

Yan Su blushed when asked, and didn't know where to start. Looking at her embarrassed and shy look, the little princess clapped her hands and said, "Can you make a private decision for life?"

According to ancient etiquette and law, it was a taboo to privately decide for life, which made Yan Su even more ashamed and hurriedly explained: "No..., no. It's just that the two families are old friends."

"Old friend? That's a childhood sweetheart." The little princess said enviously.

Yan Su shook his head quickly, but after a while, he nodded slightly again, which was considered a default.

When the little princess saw this, for some reason, she suddenly felt a sense of loss, and she felt like she lost a jade pendant that the emperor gave her when she was a child.
