Dou Jiande came very quickly, and before Cheng Mingzhen could prepare for the "welcome", the army had already crossed Zhangshui.
Surprisingly, he did not wave his army to take Ping'en directly, but stationed more than 20,000 elite escort soldiers outside Qingzhang City and ordered him to stand by in place.
He took five hundred guards and more than a hundred officials with him, and walked slowly towards Pingen.
"What the hell is Dou Tianwang going to do" received the latest report from the secret agent, and Cheng Mingzhen was completely confused by Dou Jiande's actions.
But the situation has evolved to such a point that whether it is a blessing or a curse, he can only stubbornly hold on.
Entrust all the thousands of people who were temporarily gathered to Du Juan and Wu Tianxi, and order them to adapt to the situation in Ping'en City.
Then, under the protection of more than 20 guards such as Xiongkuohai, Pegasus greeted ten miles.
Seeing the tassel canopy from a distance, Cheng Mingzhen turned over and jumped off the mount, solemnly arched his hand, and shouted at the top of his throat: "The unknown king is coming in a thousand years old, and the ministers can't welcome him from afar, forgive the sins, forgive the sins."
Dou Jiande had already seen Cheng Mingzhen, ordered someone to stop the carriage, and walked down with a laugh, "Let's not come to this set of vain things among our own people, you should know that the reason why Lone was promoted to the throne is just to set the order as soon as possible and give orders, not to set up music with his own family."
"Since the prince has been promoted, the minister does not dare to trespass" Cheng Mingzhen bowed down again and responded with a straight face.
He couldn't guess what medicine was sold in Dou Jiande's gourd now, so he would rather take the whole ceremony than leave the other party a chance to have a seizure.
Dou Jiande really couldn't do anything about him, so he had to accept his salute.
Then he stepped forward and grabbed his arm, shook his head with a smile: "You, you're not very old, how can you talk and act like a little old man."
Alright, alright, the cutscene is over.
Let's go into the city.
I haven't drunk a sip of hot water since the morning, and I'm hungry."
After that, he patted his stomach in a thoughtful manner, making an empty sound.
Xiong Kuohai and the others have been on guard all the time, never expected Dou Jiande to come to this show, they were so amused that they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so they had to grit their teeth and endure it.
But the gaze that looked at the other side softened unconsciously, and the hand that had been taut on the hilt of the knife slowly lowered.
At this time, Cheng Mingzhen's heart was like hanging fifteen buckets, and he didn't know what to do.
Sneaking a look behind Dou Jiande, he found that the nearest civil officials with unfamiliar faces were all there, hesitated for a moment, and replied: "If the prince doesn't think the small county is rude, please move in to eat the people of Pingen, and you will be proud to receive the king." ” "If you still say that Ping'en County is rude, I'm afraid that in the world, except for Jingshi and Luoyang, all other places in the world will have to be called a pigsty" Dou Jiande waved his hand with a grin, laughing and quipping.
"Give me a horse, I'll ride" Looking behind him, he smiled and admonished, "If you like to ride, just sit."
I Lao Dou first breathed on the horseback, grandma's, tomorrow will not be hot, but Lao Tzu will sweat. ” The civil officials looked at each other, not knowing how we could stop Dou Jiande.
Fearing that the world would not be chaotic, Xiong Kuohai quickly jumped off his mount, led his horse to Dou Jiande, and then trotted to the front of the royal chariot, stretching his neck to look inside.
He didn't dare to really sit on Dou Jiande's imperial chariot, he just wanted to test Dou Jiande's attitude.
Unexpectedly, Dou Jiande was not angry at all, jumped on the mount, turned his head and said: "If you want to get on, you can go up, it's just a broken car, I'll let you get on it, who can say anything later, you can't watch it slowly, I have to get over it first."
Without waiting for anyone to respond, he shook the reins and rode his horse towards the distant city.
Seeing this, Cheng Mingzhen hurriedly accelerated to keep up.
The two of them ran one after the other, running like the wind, no matter what the eyeballs behind his back fell all over the ground.
The distance of ten miles is just that, and in the blink of an eye, you can already see the open gate of Ping'en County.
Du Juan and Wu Tianxi led more than 100 soldiers to stand at the door and lined up to greet the king.
Dou Jiande waved his hand at them, rode alone, and rushed through the city gate and urn city non-stop, and drove in.
He rushed to the vicinity of the county government before he flew off his horse, threw the reins of the horse into the hands of the stunned janitor, stretched out the sleeve of the python robe to wipe his sweat, and shouted loudly: "Happy, happy, it's been a long time since I've been so happy."
Which of you is going to scoop me up with a scoop of well water to quench my thirst, and if you want to bring it freshly, it's best to bring some ice slag."
"Obey," the soldiers replied, pouting their teeth.
A prince with no frame like this is definitely beyond everyone's imagination.
"Bring the chilled plums to the lobby for the prince.
By the way, get a basin of water and wait for the prince to clean his face" Cheng Mingzhen arrived on his front and back feet, jumped off his mount, and added loudly.
This time, the soldiers knew what to do, and took the order with a smile.
While running, he didn't forget to look back at Dou Jiande again, deeply heartbroken by the other party's behavior.
Sitting on a heroic party in more than 30 counties in four counties, he talks and behaves without any shelf, just like the old man who has just come back from weeding in the neighbor's house, rustic, but cordial from head to toe.
Cheng Mingzhen didn't dare to be as casual as the brothers, so he respectfully made a gesture of invitation and welcomed Dou Jiande into the county hall.
The latter knew his temperament and was not polite.
Da Ma Jindao sat down on the main seat, looked around, and said with a smile: "Your county town looks very prosperous, but the inside of the yamen is really shabby."
Very good, very good, my old Dou needs such an official.

Wait for the guys in the back to come later, and let them all come in and have a look.
Let's see how you became a county warden.
Grandma's, a bunch of things that know how to put music in the field.
Complain to me all day long about this and that, and shrink your neck when you get down to business."
"Those officials brought by the prince, the ministers didn't seem to be familiar with it just now" Cheng Mingzhen couldn't guess what was hidden in Dou Jiande's stomach, so he had to test it with a smile.
"Of course you are not familiar with them, they have just been conquered for a long time, a total of one hundred and ten, I was in a hurry to get rid of them just now, so I didn't introduce you."
Dou Jiande smiled and said stupidly.
It seems that he has not been very happy with his courtiers recently.
"These things, they are all very famous grandmothers, but I am stupid myself, and I have to find a group of grandfathers for myself.
What are you doing one by one, what are you doing, and you want to be treated with my old Dou, but they are one of the top two" Cheng Mingzhen blinked his eyes when he heard this, and it took a lot of effort to understand what this Dou Wang Ye was talking about.
It turned out that Dou Jiande felt that there was a lack of talent under his command, so he followed the example of King Yan in the era of war results and searched for Daxian everywhere.
But he didn't expect that those so-called sages were mostly vain people, and after joining the shogunate, not only could they not play the role he expected at all, but they thought very highly of themselves, and threatened each other with resignation at every turn.
But at the moment, Dou Jiande still needs the false name of "buying horse bones", so even if the other party hates it, he can only pinch his nose and endure it.
It is better to be smoked to death by the sour smell than to fall into the mouth that cannot tolerate people.
"What are you laughing at, it's not all you and Lao Song who are harmed" Seeing that Cheng Mingzhen's eyes were full of schadenfreude, Dou Jiande snorted angrily.
"It's the two of you, and it always says that the talent of the outsiders is ten times better than the two of you.
My old Dou lacks heart and eyes, so I believe it.
His grandmother's, if these things were Daxian, why didn't I see them mix up like dogs in prosperous and troubled times, and now I can see it.
What a great sage, is the competition who is thick-skinned and who can blow.
You, I blow you, blow and blow yourself, and in the end, sit in the room and say a big talk, and they will all become virtuous."
"Be careful to hear what the prince said" Seeing Dou Jiande's appearance of suffering and nowhere to complain, Cheng Mingzhen laughed so much that his intestines hurt, and he lowered his head to remind.
"What do you think they will really get angry and walk away, that's all a trick to scare people, it's similar to a woman crying, making trouble and hanging herself.
I don't want to demolish them now, so I'll respond to them for the time being" Dou Jiande rolled his eyelids, his face full of anger.
"By the way, how are you doing in Tuntian this year, can you find a place where I can wait to open my eyes?"
"The lord has an order, and the minister dares not to obey" Hearing Dou Jiande suddenly turn the topic to official business, Cheng Mingzhen arched his hand and responded with a positive color.
"Sit down, sit down.
Before anyone else comes, neither of us should come to these false things.
Dou Jiande gave him a blank look and ordered very dissatisfied.
He picked up a chilled green plum and threw it into his mouth, and while tasting it, he continued to add, "I came this time, mainly to see the things of Tuntian, the people, and the canal repair."
Several other counties are also doing it, but they are all new and have a lot of trouble.
Instead of helping, the sages made me change my course all day long.
I thought, instead of letting these great sages talk to me every day, it is better to let them see for themselves.
As the saying goes, seeing is believing, and being able to see for yourself the results of your tuntian is better than listening to their nonsense, is it convenient for you here?"
Cheng Mingzhen thought for a while and said with a smile: "There is nothing inconvenient, and several counties have newly opened tuntian.
The nearest Tuntian points are only more than 40 miles away from Ping'en County.
It's just that there is no post station in the place, and I'm afraid that the sages won't be able to stand that suffering when they go."
He deliberately bit the word Daxian very hard to show his disdain for it.
This contrived is really very much to Dou Jiande's appetite.
The latter nodded, laughed and said, "Haha, don't be afraid of hardship, the more bitter the better."
If the heavens want to descend to the people, they should be allowed to endure some hardship, so that they can understand the difficulties of the crops I think now, the reason why this group of great sages are full of tongues is that they have never seen how the people live.
Let them see and understand, and they will not say stupid things like 'why don't you eat minced meat, but you don't know, I only need to discuss the account now, and I am so angry with these bastards that I don't want to eat."
"Whatever you want, as long as you don't come to trouble me," Cheng Mingzhen thought secretly, and the heart that had been hanging in his throat slowly fell back into his stomach.
According to the current situation, he can be sure that Dou Jiande did not come to Xingshi to ask for guilt.
Since I'm not here to find fault with myself, everything else is negotiable.
After all, Xiangguo County is the territory of the other party, and the other party has the right to intervene in any government decree.

Besides, there are no secrets to hide from the people in Tuntian, and a discerning person can learn almost as soon as he takes the various regulations and takes a look.
"Do you think this matter is quite simple" As if guessing Cheng Mingzhen's thoughts, Dou Jiande quickly asked.
Without waiting for Cheng Mingzhen to explain, he made his own bets, "The strategy of Tuntian was figured out by yourself, of course, there is no difficulty."
But for those who haven't done it, it's like seeing flowers in a fog.
If nothing else, just take the seeds and funds at the beginning, and almost bankrupt my family.
It's still the first year, and it's just getting started.
Without three or five years of persistence, don't even think of recovering the capital" "That's true," Cheng Mingzhen nodded again and again.
From the second half of Dou Jiande's sentence, he could hear that the other party had really worked all things in Tuntian.
"The minister relied on the big family of eating yuan treasures back then, and he barely got through the initial difficulties.
It's also a loss that the original territory is small, if it is a little bigger.
Hey, I don't know where to go to find money and food."
"Tell me about such things" Dou Jiande was very curious, and asked with wide eyes.
"The minister was also forced to be helpless back then, so he had to do it himself" Cheng Mingzhen nodded lightly, and explained to Dou Jiande the reasons, measures, and sources of start-up funds for his Tuntian back then.
Of course, he could not say that he still had a treasure map in his hand, so he had to attribute the source of his property to the "security" fees of the surrounding places.
As for which county paid how much, he casually brought it over, anyway, Dou Jiande would not be so careful as to write down every account and check whether the total number could be corrected.
Dou Jiande nodded again and again when he heard this.
After Cheng Mingzhen finished speaking, he sighed and said faintly: "Alas, you had a place to rob at the time, who else can I rob now, I would have known this earlier, and it would be better to leave Wuyang County to fight for a few years."
Maybe I can squeeze a lot of oil and water out of the Yuan Treasure guy."
"Actually, there are many fortresses in Wuyang and Qinghe counties, and there are a lot of hidden treasures" Cheng Mingzhen thought about it and nodded lightly.
The two counties of Wuyang and Qinghe were basically taken without bloodshed, and the Dou family army did not start a killing ring, so many wealthy families were spared.
These big fortunes take the initiative to produce tens of thousands of hectares of land, and they can knock out a lot of oil and water by squeezing them casually.
"It's difficult, Lone promised them not to blame the past, and they can't break their promises and get fat.
Besides, in the future, their support will be indispensable for stabilizing the place" Dou Jiande sighed and shook his head lightly.
The method that Cheng Mingzhen reminded was also the method that Wang Fubao, Cao Dan and others had always hoped he would take.
But Dou Jiande hopes that he can be a hero who embraces all rivers, not only to be supported by the people of Pingtou, but also to be sincerely supported by local wealthy families.
After all, these big families that have spread for several generations are full of talents, as long as one or two of them are willing to serve sincerely, their performance will definitely not be worse than Wang Fubao's grass-headed generals, and they are also better than Wang Fubao and others.
As early as Dou Jiande's bent on subduing Yang Shanhui, Cheng Mingzhen understood that his lordship wanted a lot.
So he didn't put his beak anymore, smiled, and said in a low voice: "Then the prince has no choice but to look out."
If the powerful forces around you are weaker" "This is the second thing I want to tell you," Dou Jiande quickly took over, "I heard that you have met Wagang Xie Yingdeng, and have exchanged letters with Wagang Xu Maogong.
Do you still have contact with them now?"
