Water Margin official

Four fast horses, taking advantage of the dawn, ran out of the city gate of Qinghe County, along the official road, all the way south, whipping and galloping, towards the East and West Road in the direction of Yuncheng County under the jurisdiction of Jeju Prefecture.
At first, a tall white horse with no mixed colors galloped wildly, and gradually pushed the three good horses behind it away for a distance.

"Officials, please slow down and wait for me." Zhang Liu shouted from behind.

Zhang Zhengdao controlled the horse's reins, slowed down, and waited for the three of them to catch up.

Except for Wang Sanguan, Wu Song and Zhang Liu were not good at riding, so they fell last.

There was no need to be so eager to go out this time, but Mrs. Yu suddenly arranged a marriage for Zhang Zhengdao and wanted to get married at home, which disrupted his arrangement.

In desperation, Zhang Zhengdao had no choice but to hide from his parents and others, run away from the marriage, and set off one day early.

It has been more than a month since he arrived in the Song Dynasty. This is the first time Zhang Zhengdao has left Qinghe County.

After leaving the city, Zhang Zhengdao galloped on his horse and ran for a long time. He only suffered a lot from the three people behind him. Although their horses were also good horses, they were not as good as Zhang Zhengdao, a BMW from the north.

.

As soon as he left the city, Zhang Zhengdao was like a dragon entering the sea, and everything he saw felt new.

Among the four, only Wu Song has ever traveled in rivers and lakes and ventured into the green forest. However, before he relied on his own legs and feet, but now he is riding a horse, which is naturally different.

Zhang Zhengdao was well prepared for this trip. Not to mention the five hundred taels of gold, he also brought a full five hundred taels of silver, divided into four parts, and each person carried a part on his mount.
In this era, everywhere is good, but it is troublesome to go out, and you have to carry heavy gold, silver and copper coins.

Even at this time, there were money and other banknotes, but the imperial court issued them indiscriminately. The actual value of the money with a face value of one thousand yuan was only a dozen yuan, which was no different from that piece of waste paper.

In the third year of Emperor Huizong's reign, in order to save the increasingly collapsing Qian Yin policy, the imperial court limited the circulation of Qian Yin to 1.25 million guan. However, the area of ​​use was also restricted and was limited to Sichuan and Shaanxi.

, used in Hedong and other areas.

Therefore, merchants still have to carry gold, silver and copper coins when traveling to distant places, which is very inconvenient.

It's September, early autumn, the clouds are light, the wind is light, and the weather is slightly cool.

Zhang Zhengdao sat upright on his horse and looked at both sides of the road. From time to time, carriages, horses and pedestrians passed by. When they saw the tall white horse under Zhang Zhengdao's crotch, they couldn't help but stop and watch.

After the three people caught up, the four horses moved forward side by side.

In addition to carrying money, more importantly, weapons, Zhang Zhengdao was also fully equipped, and specially bought two iron knives for Wu Song. Although they were not made by famous experts, they were extraordinary and could cut iron like clay.

Zhang Zhengdao prepared a long spear for himself and hung it on his horse in case of emergency. Zhang Liu and Wang Sanguan were both equipped with simple knives for self-defense.

Although the weapons are well prepared, the value of the force is a bit worrying. Among the four, only Wu Song is skilled in boxing and kicking.

But at this time, Wu Song had not yet killed the tiger with his bare hands on Jingyanggang, nor had he fought Ximen Qing in the Lion Tower, nor had he drunkenly beaten Jiang Menshen in the Happy Forest, that battle at Feiyunpu, with blood splattering in the Yuanyang Tower.

, the brutal fighting on Centipede Ridge on the demon-killing road, etc., have not happened yet.

Therefore, Wu Song's murderous aura, murderous intention and murderous intention at this moment have not been aroused.

According to Zhang Zhengdao's estimation, Wu Song at this moment is at best a third-rate expert. If he met a real hero with some ability, he would probably kneel down.

Even so, Zhang Zhengdao was not worried at all. On this trip, he took the waterway to Hangzhou. He did not have to cross mountains and ridges, nor did he go overland across the state. He only traveled through the busy waterway where boats were raining, and nothing would happen.

Too much danger.

"Master, Xucheng is in the northeast, why are we going south?" Zhang Liu was riding on a horse, puzzled.

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "When we come out this time, we first go to Yuncheng County, Jeju. There are three good guys there, so we can get acquainted with them."

"Three heroes?" Wu Song was also curious.

Zhang Zhengdao said loudly: "Three real heroes in the water."

After saying that, he flicked the reins of the horse, and the strong horse neighed and sped away like the wind.

When Wu Song saw this, he also chased after him.

Zhang Liu followed Wang Sanguan and shouted: "Three officials, do you dare to compete?"

Wang Sanguan was unwilling to leave home, but he couldn't break his mother's orders, so he had to follow Zhang Zhengdao to Hangzhou. He was already angry in his heart. When he heard that a young boy dared to be arrogant with him, he immediately shouted: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid."

Who are you?"

Wang Sanguan swung his horse whip, and the horse was in pain from the crotch. It neighed and ran wildly, throwing up smoke and dust, leaving Zhang Liu behind.

Qinghe County in Yunzhou is about 150 to 60 miles away from Yuncheng County in Jeju. Even if a horse is galloping, it will take two days to arrive.

After traveling for a day, Zhang Zhengdao and others stopped at an inn next to the official road to rest.

After a good night's sleep, the next morning, after having breakfast, paying the rent, tying up the parcels, and grooming the horses, the four of them hit the road again.

After walking straight until the sunset, the four of them entered the city from the north gate of Yuncheng County.

As soon as he entered the city, Zhang Zhengdao looked around and carefully looked at this famous county town.

"Brother, please find an inn to rest first. I haven't had any wine for two days. I'm almost a glutton." Wu Song said.

After two days of traveling, Zhang Zhengdao was also a little tired, so he replied: "What the second brother said is that we will find him an inn to have some food and wine."

At this moment, the four people led the horses and walked straight to the bustling part of the city.

When passing by the county government office, Zhang Zhengdao couldn't help but look inside curiously, wondering if he would meet the hypocritical Black Saburo.

However, it was getting late, the county government gate was closed, and no one was seen coming in or out.

"May I ask, brother, where is an inn for people to rest here?" It happened that there was a tea house opposite the county government office. Zhang Zhengdao stopped and asked the tea doctor in the shop.

This tea doctor sells refreshments in front of the county government all day long. He has seen many people from all walks of life. When he saw Zhang Zhengdao holding a BMW with three companions behind him, he must be a rich or noble person. He immediately said politely: "This gentleman

You're welcome, look over there. There is a restaurant in a quiet alley not far from the grate shop. You can stay there."

Zhang Zhengdao looked in the direction of Dr. Tea's finger and saw a grate shop. He smiled and said, "Thank you, brother."

The four of them walked along the long street to the grate shop. After walking more than two hundred steps, they found a secluded alley. After turning into the alley and walking another thirty or fifty steps, they saw a door with a side of it.

A flag-raising restaurant.

As soon as the four people approached, a store clerk came out to greet them.

"Sir, do you want to have a drink or stay in a hotel?" The waiter saluted respectfully.

"Since I'm staying in a hotel, is there a place for my horse?" Zhang Zhengdao asked.

The waiter said: "I have a place to stay. Sir, please come with me."

The store clerk led the four people around the front door to a side door. When they opened the door, they saw a yard with a simple stable built and a stone trough for horses to drink and feed.
The four people tied the horses to the trough, and Zhang Zhengdao told the waiter: "Get the best ingredients and feed them."

"Don't worry, sir." The store clerk hurriedly agreed, and then led the four people upstairs.
