Please ask me to be the emperor

Zhang Shun left Luoyang City and headed north. They first took Mengjin to cross the Yellow River and crossed Jiyuan. It took them four or five days in total to reach Yuanqu.

After arriving at Yuanqu, Zhang Shun stopped and said to Liu Cheng, He Jin and He Yilong: "I went to Jiangzhou this time not to attack the city, but to invite Han Lin, the son of Jiangzhou, to join our army. If the army rushes all the way, not only will it consume food and fodder, but it will also be prone to unexpected situations."

"From here, cross Mount Li to the north and you will find our original camp at Shunwangping. With Liu Cheng as the leader and He Jin and He Yilong as the assistants, you can temporarily go and stay. The war horses can be herded at Shunwangping for the time being. If there is insufficient food on the grassland, you can buy some nearby to replenish it."

"In addition, Jicheng knows how to heal cattle and horses, and will stay here to take care of the horses. I will personally lead Wukong and more than a hundred personal guards to Jiangzhou to find the son Han Lin."

As soon as Zhang Shun finished speaking, he didn't expect that someone immediately objected: "This is not okay. Sister Hong arranged for me to come here specifically to supervise you and prevent you from taking risks at will!"

Zhang Shun only heard that this person's voice was clear and clear, not like a man's. He looked up and saw that the person was none other than Zhang Sanbai's sister, Ma Yingniang.

It's also a long time coming. After the two understood each other's intentions last time, they were separated because of Zhang Shun's expedition to the east.

So when the Red Lady told Ma Yingniang that Zhang Shun's occupation of Luoyang City was actually in danger and could be destroyed at any time, she followed the Red Lady to Luoyang City without saying a word.

According to her daughter's thoughts, since she is here, she should not leave.

At this time when the storm is about to come, if I strongly demand to marry him, I wonder if he will be very moved? Of course, if he loses this battle, he will live and die with him.

Ma Yingniang had a beautiful idea, but unfortunately she never expected that they would arrive in Luoyang City on the first day, and Zhang Shun would lead the team and set off again the next morning.

She had no choice but to disguise herself as a man and follow him again. I can't tolerate this man running around anymore!

But when she was about to sneak into Zhang Shun's team, the red lady found out.

The red lady pulled her out, and without waiting for her to say anything in a complicated mood, the red lady took the lead and said: "I know all about your husband's thoughts. I don't know why you are still willing to follow him in such a dangerous time." That’s easy to say.”

"It's just that you also know that my husband has always been prone to danger. Now the safety of the entire rebel army depends on him. I know that you are highly skilled in martial arts, and I hope you can protect him. If this is true, what's the harm if I add another sister! "

Ma Yingniang was ashamed and happy when she heard this. She quickly agreed and secretly followed Zhang Shun's team out of Luoyang City.

Now that Ma Yingniang saw that Zhang Shun was taking danger again, she couldn't help but stood up to stop him.

Zhang Shun was stunned and realized that the person in front of him was Ma Yingniang, who was disguised as a woman. He couldn't help but asked unhappily: "Why are you here?"

"The Red Lady asked me to follow you because I was afraid that you would take risks!" Of course Ma Yingniang would not tell him that she had negotiated a deal with the Red Lady.

"You have become her little spy!" Zhang Shun said helplessly, "It's just that the rebels only carried ten days' worth of food when they set out, and there was no food for the horses. They couldn't guarantee a return trip. What's more, if they go to Jiangzhou with great fanfare, If the officers and soldiers get the news, it will easily trigger a battle."

"I will not mention the loss of cavalry for no reason at that time, but it will increase the risk of this trip. I leave the cavalry here, which can not only save food and grass, but also facilitate rescue. This place is only more than a hundred miles away from Jiangzhou, but there is military intelligence , I only need to send an envoy back to King Shun Ping to mobilize troops and horses, and the knights can arrive in just one day and one night, so why not?"

Zhang Shun's plan was watertight. Ma Yingniang thought about it for a long time and found nothing to refute. However, she was afraid that he would deceive her, so she asked: "Then let me follow you. If there is an emergency, I can save someone." Save your life."

Although Zhang Shun felt that Ma Yingniang was a bit troublesome, at least it was the girl's idea, so he nodded happily and agreed.

After Zhang Shun and others separated from Liu Cheng, He Jin, He Yilong and other cavalry, they quickly left Yuanqu and passed through Wenxi to Jiangzhou.

Zhang Shun broke away from the army, and with one man and two horses, he arrived outside Jiangzhou City in just one day. At that time, it was getting late, and even though Zhang Shun had only a hundred or so horses under his command, he still had to find a place to camp and rest.

Ma Yingniang was troubled, so she saw a manor not far outside the city, so she took Zhang Shun to stay overnight.

According to her thoughts, when she arrived in front of Jiangzhou City, there was not much danger. Why not pretend to be a passing couple and stay overnight?

The girl is thin-skinned and is afraid of being talked about behind her back, so she deliberately did not bring Wu Ma or the maid with her this time, just because she had some ideas.

Zhang Shun, a straight man like Zhang Shun, didn't understand his daughter's thoughts. He just saw that she was very interested, so it was hard to disobey him.

So, Zhang Shun ordered Wukong to bring a few guards to follow him, and followed the bouncing Ma Yingniang to the manor.

This garden is not small. Zhang Shun got closer and estimated that it covers an area of ​​one or two acres. Although not luxurious enough, it is clean and tidy.

When Ma Yingniang knocked on the door, a man came out, stretched out his hand and made a sign of the cross on his chest and said: "This parishioner came early, the service is tomorrow!"

Ma Yingniang was confused and still wanted to say something. Zhang Shun quickly took two steps forward and walked up, imitating the man's sign of the cross and said, "Thank you for reminding me. My mother-in-law has missed the date. It won't be too late to come back tomorrow!"

Ma Yingniang became even more confused and opened her mouth to speak. Zhang Shun quickly winked at her and said goodbye to the village.

After they were some distance away, Ma Yingniang couldn't bear it any longer and asked strangely: "What kind of riddles are you playing with him? He's so babbling!"

"You are really right!" Zhang Shun shook his head and said, "This man is a Christian, and this Zhuangzi should be a stronghold for them. In order to avoid accidents, it is better not to provoke them?"

"White Lotus Sect?" Ma Yingniang was shocked when she heard this. She didn't know what "Christ" was. When she heard the word "believer", she immediately thought of a religion whose business is rebellion.

"Although it's not the same religion, it's pretty much the same. It's always troublesome to cause trouble!" Zhang Shun smiled and shook his head. The current matter is mainly to invite Han Lin to join the group, and try not to cause extraneous matters.

Back at the camp, everyone had a hasty dinner, got into the tent, and made do with their clothes for the night.

It turned out that Ma Yingniang secretly set up a tent by herself before being discovered by Zhang Shun. Now that Zhang Shun knew about it, he deliberately pitched the tent next to Zhang Shun.

Zhang Shun was very tired from the long journey, so he got in and fell asleep.
