Chapter 58: Thinking of a Daughter-in-law
The sunset is coming to an end.
A team of men led by Tang Shilang arrived at the border between Wu Yue and Tang State.
"Are you still chasing?" asked the attendant.
Tang Shilang wiped his sweat: "If you chase it again, you will go to the Tang Kingdom." ”
The boundary between Tang and the Great Zhou is a meandering river.
The location where Tang Shilang stopped was on the north side of the wooden bridge on the river.
This is still the territory of the Great Zhou, and after crossing the bridge, it is the Tang Kingdom.
Both countries set up a sentry post not far from the bridgehead and stationed their guards.
The sentry on the high platform opposite is already clearly visible.
Tang Shilang wiped his sweat and said to his entourage: "You call over there and ask if there was a carriage to go to their Tang Kingdom a few days ago." ”
The attendant bared his teeth.
In the past few days, Tang Shilang said that he was going to chase the crown princess and Hu Erye and his party, but in private, he either disliked the hot weather or disliked that the road was not easy to rush. It took several days to catch up with the Jiehe. Looks like I'm going to stay at the inn again tonight. If you chase it like this, the crown princess and Second Master Hu will have already returned to Wuyue. There is no way, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has set out on the expedition, and Tang Shilang has the final say in this work of chasing people.
The attendant sighed in his heart and tore his throat: "Hey, brother on the other side, I saw two dark red carriages passing by a few days ago!"
The sentry in Tang Guo was waiting for a shift change, and it was hot and tired after standing for a day.
Hearing the inquiry here, he replied angrily: "Don't talk about carriages, there are a lot of donkey carts! If you want to come, you should pass early! No matter how late it is, you won't be allowed to go!"
The Great Zhou and Tang Kingdoms have been relatively peaceful on the surface in recent years, and there are many businessmen and merchants on weekdays.
Tang Shilang sighed: "Go back to the post house, and chase it tomorrow." ”
The attendant sighed in his heart and turned the horse's head with Tang Shilang.
Tang Guo's sentry came in shifts to take over. He smiled at the sentry, "What a donkey, a horse." ”
"Who knows!"
"Look at the official in the middle, it's quite familiar!"
"Hmm..... A few days ago, the official seemed to have come here with the prince of Da Zhou to patrol the defense. ”
At this time, another sentry came and laughed: "You don't know, right? That's their Great Zhou's greeting attendant! The prince of Da Zhou married the righteous daughter of Wu Yue Hu Shang's father, and he is the one who greets his relatives." ”
"Then how did he come here again!"
"Haven't you heard about asking the carriage! Then Wu Yue's Second Master Hu escaped with the crown princess of Da Zhou, that is, his sister-in-law!"
"Really?"
"That's still fake! Such a team of people are chasing after them. Otherwise, why are they here on a hot day!"
"Will it run to our Tang Kingdom, maybe it will pass under our noses!"
"Maybe!"
"Oh! This time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really lost his wife and lost his troops!"
I heard that the State of Chu and the State of Shu sent heavy troops this time. This war will not end for a while! When the time comes, the daughter-in-law will be gone. Hahaha......"
"Get out of your mother! The daughter-in-law has run away, what are you happy about! If you have the ability to find a daughter-in-law by yourself!"
The sentry who had stood guard for a day dropped a foul word and went to rest with a yawn.
Finding a daughter-in-law is difficult for a bachelor like them who is stationed all year round.
When it comes to finding a daughter-in-law, the two sentry posts who are chatting energetically are not interesting.
Their daughter-in-law, the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.
It was getting dark.
There are no cars and horses on the official road.
The sentry watched from afar as a small black carriage approached the boundary bridge without hurrying.
Those who can go this way have already checked Guan Die in front.
If it weren't for the carriage, he wouldn't have bothered to look at it.
The pony carriage crossed the boundary river and slowly drove into the post house.
In the post house, Tang Shilang had just sat down and picked up the teacup, when he heard a report from outside: "Lord Tang, there is a Mr. Jimo who wants to see you!"
"Please!" Tang Shilang put the teacup on the table and stood up.
Jimo Huaijin was dressed in black, and he came in and nodded and smiled at Tang Shilang.
"Sir, please take a seat!" Tang Shilang hunched his waist and hurriedly ushered Jimo Huaijin into a seat.
The entourage sighed again! I have never seen Lord Tang so sharp after chasing the princess! I don't know where this Mr. Jimo is sacred.
Jimo Huaijin slowly sat down, Tang Shilang hurriedly took the teacup in the waiter's hand, bowed down and handed it to Jimo Huaijin: "Mr. use it slowly!"
On that day, after Mo Huaijin knew that Shen Ming was fine, he returned to the town he passed through on the way to the Tang Kingdom.
After many investigations, it is indeed a military land, and the scale is still a precedent in the Tang Kingdom.
Seeing that Jimo Huaijin had finished drinking the tea, Tang Shilang asked with a smile, "Sir, what news did you hear?"
"Don't worry!" Ji Mo Huaijin said lightly: "Even if Tang Guo wants to send troops, it won't be able to do so for a while! ”
"That's good!" Tang Shilang seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
After a pause, Tang Shilang asked again: "Sir, do you think it is feasible to go to the Tang Kingdom to chase people at this time?"
"Who are you chasing?" said Mo Huaijin lightly.
Zhou Rongxin only said that Chu and Shu were coming to attack him, and he was going to go on an expedition, so he asked Jimo Huaijin to come over and help garrison Qucheng.
"Oh!" Tang Shilang hurriedly said: "That's the case! A few days ago, the crown princess and Hu Erye were angry with the lord of Longwu County and left! His Majesty ordered Tang to recover the crown princess. But His Highness said again, don't be in a hurry to chase slowly. ”
Jimo Huaijin frowned!
This Zhou Rong, even he guarded against him!
Presumably, that girl must be in the safest place in Qucheng.
"Then Lord Tang will chase after it slowly!" Jimo Huaijin smiled: "The more people know that the crown princess has run to the Tang Kingdom, the better!"
"What do you mean, sir?" Tang Shilang was a little confused.
"Don't ask! Do as I say! The more people know that the crown princess and Second Master Hu fled to the Tang Kingdom, the safer Qucheng will be, and the safer the crown princess will be!"
Although I don't know the origin of Jimo Huaijin, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince explained that he should treat Jimo Huaijin like him, Tang Shilang replied respectfully: "Yes!"
At night, for the barracks, it is most important to be vigilant.
However, in Yanggu City, the military camp of the supreme command, the atmosphere is extremely lazy.
Zhou Rong was dressed in black, leaning behind the Huwei case and sinking like water.
Zhou Ziyi and Bailiwei sat left and right, and their faces were full of displeasure.
The silence in the hall was so loud that even the crackling sound of the lights bursting was unusually loud.
There was the sound of footsteps.
One of the guards knelt down on one knee and said, "See Your Highness!" The general ordered his subordinates to tell His Highness to rest early. The other party's barracks have already turned off the lights and fallen asleep!"
"Hmm!go ahead!" Zhou Rong said lightly.
Before the guards left, Baili Wei couldn't help but say: "This emperor of Chu State is crazy! Did he send so many people and horses from afar to sleep?
"What's more!" Zhou Ziyi also continued: "Even the emperor of Shu has a bad brain! After so many days, he made a feint attack at the beginning, and then he didn't besiege but not attack! Sleep every day! Nonsense!"
Zhou Rong was still sitting quietly, his face was so heavy that he could almost drip.
"Lord!" Zhou Ziyi said: "Otherwise, let's explain the situation to Your Majesty and withdraw!"
"That's it!" Bailiwei also said: "It's a hot day, what are you doing with this group of idiots." ”
