Li Gang caught up with Zhang Shixun at the front of the team and said breathlessly, "Shixun, the Donghua Gate is just ahead. We can't get too close."
Zhang Shixun smiled and pointed ahead, "Turn south at the intersection... Mr. Li, I know my limits, so don't worry."
After reaching the street corner, Zhang Shixun left a team of ten soldiers, gave them a few instructions, and then led the team south.
Zhang Shuye rode over and asked Li Gang, "Why did he leave ten soldiers behind?"
"Setting up the formation." Li Gang bent down and got into his sedan chair. "Ji Zhong, he is really setting up the formation. We were worrying for nothing."
Zhang Shuye glanced at the ten soldiers, all of whom stood straight with their heads held high and chests puffed out.
"Let's follow the team and see how he arranges his formation."
Li Gang seemed to be becoming more and more interested.
Zhang Shuye gently urged his mount on, "I'd like to see how he catches Shi Qian after setting up the formation... hehe!"
In this way, Zhang Shixun walked along the way, leaving soldiers behind along the way, with each team consisting of ten people.
After the team circled the inner city, only thirty people were left out of the thousand-man team.
Zhang Shixun mounted his warhorse and said to Li Gang in the sedan chair, "Prime Minister Li, let's go to Zhouqiao."
Li Gang asked curiously, "What are you going to Zhouqiao for?"
"Zhou Bridge is the center of the formation. Only after it is laid out will the formation be complete."
"Okay! Go quickly."
Zhang Shixun then said to Zhang Shuye, "Mr. Zhang, please ask Kaifeng Prefecture to send someone to clear the stalls on Zhou Bridge."
"Okay! I'll do it myself."
After Zhang Shuye finished speaking, he urged his horse to leave.
After he left, Zhang Shixun ordered Hei Bie: "Alternate between marching in step and goose-stepping."
Black Turtle has been in an excited state since leaving the military camp.
I'm bored to death staying in the military camp all day.
This trip out of the camp is a big exposure.
More and more people came to watch the excitement along the way, and their enthusiastic eyes showed admiration, envy and even worship.
This brought great psychological satisfaction to Black Turtle and the soldiers.
He even saw his wife and son in the crowd.
This made him even more excited, and he shouted, "March in step!"
"One! Two!"
The soldiers marched very hard and kept their formation in good order.
They were as excited as Black Turtle. It felt great to be the center of attention.
In order to see more clearly, Li Gang simply got out of the sedan chair and rode a horse.
He sighed once again, "Shixun, you've trained your soldiers well. A team of dozens of people can actually perform with the momentum of a thousand men."
Zhang Shixun said with a smile, "Prime Minister Li, you have already praised me several times today. If you continue, I will feel embarrassed."
When we arrived at Zhou Bridge, Zhang Shuye had already cleared the bridge of vendors.
Zhang Shixun led his troops to the center of the bridge and ordered them to split into two teams, each standing on one side. He himself rode on a horse and stood in the middle.
The bridge was already high, and he stood there alone on horseback, wearing a black helmet and black armor, with a Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand across his chest, looking like a man who could block the way for ten thousand.
The place where he is now can be said to be the very center of the capital. To the north is the Imperial Street, which leads directly to the Xuande Tower and the Imperial Palace; to the south is the Nanxun Gate.
At this moment, more and more people gathered under the bridge. They looked up at Zhang Shixun in the middle of the bridge, feeling as if they were looking at a god.
"Shixun, you are such a show-off."
Wang Dong appeared on the virtual display screen of the smart system.
Zhang Shixun said, "Old Wang, I have finished the arrangements here. It's time for Shi Qian to show up."
The two had already arranged the script in advance: Zhang Shixun led the First Army out of the camp, pretended to set up a "formation", cast a spell to "force out" Shi Qian, and then the two had a fierce battle.
The final ending ended happily with Shi Qian being captured.
As for Lu Zhishen and Li Kui, they were not included in the plan.
"Don't rush me to show myself. Look to the east. There's a pleasure boat on the Bian River. On it sit your two confidantes."
Zhang Shixun turned his head to look at the river surface in the east. Amidst the rippling green waves, a pleasure boat was floating in the Bian River. Two young men were sitting on it. When they saw Zhang Shixun looking at them, they waved at him vigorously.
Although his face was not very clear, Zhang Shixun recognized them as Li Shishi and Ding Dusai in men's clothing just from their waving movements.
Oh my god! Why are they here?
"Shixun, don't be too busy flirting with them. Look behind them. There's a canal boat parked there."
Zhang Shixun looked behind the pleasure boat and saw, as expected, a grain boat parked not far away, more than ten feet away from the pleasure boat compound.
He suddenly became nervous, "Old Wang, is there something wrong with that straw boat?"
"Yes! Do you remember Ning Shuge, the Jin envoy?"
Zhang Shixun shuddered. "What? He's on the canal?"
"You guessed right. The Jin Kingdom sent a group of envoys to the Song Dynasty to demand an explanation for their crimes. Ning Shuge disguised himself as an attendant and came along. He is currently hiding on a grain ship with a group of warriors. Everyone carries a weapon, including five or six powerful crossbows."
"What are they going to do?"
"You are surrounded by soldiers. Their target is probably not you, but..."
"Li Shishi, Ding Dusai!"
"It should be those two again. He failed in his sneak attack last time, so he tried again this time. It seems that Ning Shuge is quite stubborn. If he fails once, he will try again."
Zhang Shixun turned his gaze to Li Shishi and the other person, who were still waving at him.
Beside them, there were two small figures, the vegetable buns and the meat buns.
With two robot bodyguards, their safety can be guaranteed to a certain extent.
But this time, there are many people cutting the belt with Ning Shu, and no matter how powerful the small robot is, it cannot guarantee their 100% safety.
"Old Wang, since they've barged in headfirst, I'm just going to kill them first."
"Haha, that's what I thought too. You can let them both go ashore, lure Ning Shuge ashore, and then catch them all in one fell swoop."
"That's a bad idea. With so many civilians on the shore, it's easy for someone to get hurt. How about this? I'll send someone to quietly approach the canal boat and suddenly launch a fire attack. At the same time, I'll have Ding Dusai and the others row towards the bridge hole. What do you think?"
"Is there enough time to organize the manpower now?"
"We should be able to make it in time. The bridge and the surrounding area are full of people from Kaifeng Prefecture and the Imperial City Administration. They've been driven crazy by the court for a while now because they can't catch Shi Qian. If we let these people deal with Ning Shuge, they will definitely rush to the front."
"Just say that the people on the canal boat might be bandits from Liangshan Marsh. They'll be more motivated and want to kill Ning Shuge first."
"Yeah! I know."
Fortunately, Li Shishi and Ding Dusai now carry walkie-talkies with them wherever they go.
Zhang Shixun immediately contacted them: "Shishi, Saisai, listen carefully, don't look behind you. There is a canal boat behind your pleasure boat. There are assassins hiding on it. They are the same group that tried to assassinate you last time..."
Li Shishi and Ding Dusai's bodies suddenly stiffened and they sat motionless on the pleasure boat.
