383, Mission
The king spoke, that is, the order that can not be disobeyed, although the old Xiangguo is very worried, but can only accept it hard, so the king asked them all to retreat, and wait for tomorrow morning, when all the civil and military generals are called to the early court, a capable official will be elected to the Baituo City of the Dream Forest.
After Lao Xiangguo left the king's palace, he went to see Wu Xiong in the prison, and the two carefully studied the whereabouts of Princess Xixi together, not mentioning it for the time being, only saying that Han Deng and Ouyang Hu left the king's palace and immediately returned to the Han family's military camp.
As soon as he arrived at the Chinese military tent, Han Deng immediately took all the guards and servants in the Chinese military tent away, and ordered the guards to guard the entrance of the Chinese military tent.
Han Deng and Ouyang Hu were left in the Chinese military tent, Han Deng sat on a tiger skin chair, drank a large glass of wine, and then breathed a sigh of relief loudly, and said, "It's so thrilling, fortunately I took you with me to see the king, otherwise, I will definitely be deceived by that old thing!"
Ouyang Hu smiled and said, "Commander, you know now, why I keep emphasizing that even if I catch Princess Xixi, I must let it go, and I can't bring it back! If Princess Xixi is really hidden by us now, instead of being in the Dream Forest, we will be very passive!"
Han Deng nodded, personally poured a large glass of wine, sent it to Ouyang Hu, and said, "The military advisor has made a great contribution with foresight, please drink this cup!"
Ouyang Hu was flattered and said, "Where, where, it's all my business!"
But Han Deng frowned and said, "The eldest husband is the one who should drink this glass of wine!"
So Ouyang Hu had no choice but to smile, tilt his neck, finish the wine, then put down the wine glass, and continued, "The commander can't take it lightly now, because our plan, although thorough, has not succeeded, and we still have very important things to do!"
Han Deng said, "Everything depends on the decision of the military advisor, if you have any requirements, you can mention it, I will meet you all!"
Ouyang Hu smiled and said, "With your words, Commander, I can rest assured, I need a lot of gold coins now!"
Han Lantern flickered, he didn't seem to expect that Ouyang Hu would ask him for money, but he only paused for a while, and then immediately said, "Yes, the military advisor has worked hard, and it is also appropriate to ask for gold coins, but I don't know how much the military advisor wants?"
Ouyang Hu said, "Don't get me wrong, commander, I want gold coins, not because I need them, but because I want gold coins to bribe the officials of the imperial court, because tomorrow the monarch will choose an official to envoy Baituo among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and we must ensure that this envoy selected by the monarch can stand with us!"
Han Deng understood, so he nodded and said, "Well, we should have prepared early, if this envoy can stand with us, he can tell us the information after the envoy Baituo, but we don't know who the king will choose to send Baituo tomorrow, how can we pay bribes?"
Ouyang Fox smiled slyly and said, "Of course you can't let the king choose by yourself, we have to choose for the king, this person must be as virtuous and respected as the old Xiangguo, and there can be no grievances with the old Xiangguo, it will be convincing, the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, there are not many officials who meet such conditions, if I expect it to be good, there are only two candidates, one is Taifu Wang Gang, and the other is Yushi Jialiang, we must choose between these two people now!"
Han Deng was stunned and said, "What's the use of our choice, it will only be useful if the king chooses tomorrow! I think we might as well prepare two big gifts and bribe these two people, so that no matter who the king chooses tomorrow, we can carry out our plan!"
Ouyang Hu shook his head and said, "No, no, commander, you seem to be foolproof in doing this, but you have made the most stupid mistake, because bribery is such a thing, the more secrecy the better, bribing an official, I am already afraid that the matter will be exposed, how can I bribe two officials at the same time, this is absolutely not feasible, we must now think of a way, so that one person can't go, then the other person, naturally has to go!"
Han Deng nodded and said, "It's still the military advisor who thinks thoughtfully, then you see, who is better to choose to be this messenger?"
Ouyang Hu said, "It's better to choose Taifu Wang Gang, because Yu Shi Jia Liang is too upright, I'm afraid it will be difficult to impress him with money, and if you don't do it, it will be self-defeating, but you will be harmed!"
Han Deng sighed and said, "Then go and give Wang Gang a big gift, and go and give this Jia Liang a big disaster!"
Ouyang Hu smiled and said, "What the military commander said is very right, and the military commander is not stupid!"
Han Deng also smiled and said, "You've talked about this, if I don't understand, I'll be an elm head!"
Ouyang Hu took an astronomical gold coin and went to the Taifu Mansion, while Han Deng sent Heiying Thirteen Horsemen to the Imperial Mansion to set a fire, although the people of the Imperial History Mansion fought hard to extinguish the fire, but still burned down more than half of the huge Imperial History Mansion, the most important Scripture Pavilion was also burned, many important books were burned, and the Imperial History Jia Liang held these burned to ashes of the historical records and cried bitterly, he was actually seriously ill and bedridden!
So the next morning, Yu Shi Jia Liang asked for sick leave, only Taifu went to the court, and the king named him to envoy Baituo of the Dream Forest, and he also readily agreed, Lao Xiangguo can still believe in Taifu's personality, because Taifu is the only person in the court who has no grudge against him!
So Taifu set off on the same day and went to Baituo in the Dream Forest, Ouyang Hu put on makeup, quietly hid in Taifu's envoy group, and followed Taifu to Baituo in the Dream Forest.
When Ouyang Hu was leaving, he handed Han Deng a bag of tips, and said that if Lao Xiangguo rescued Wu Xiong from prison, he would open the bag, and there was a clever plan in it to deal with the counterattack of Lao Xiangguo and Wu Xiong!
Han Deng kept the bag close to him, and personally led the men and horses to escort Taifu and Ouyang Hu away from the county king's mansion for a long time, before saying goodbye and leading his sergeants back to the county king's mansion, Taifu and Ouyang Hu led a messenger group of more than 100 people to the dream forest!
There was no word all the way, and a few days later, this group of more than 100 envoys arrived at the border of the Dream Forest, and the soldiers guarding the border blocked them, while reporting to their lord Yuan Muwen!
Yuan Muwen is the lord of Baituo, Princess Xixi's grandfather, after she met Princess Xixi, from Princess Xixi's mouth, she has learned that his daughter and son-in-law have all died, and the East Wangfu has also been occupied by the county palace, Princess Xixi fled to him to seek refuge. He was thinking about how to settle Princess Xixi, and then whether he should raise troops to crusade against the county king's mansion to avenge his daughter and son-in-law, but before he could make a decision, the envoy group of the county king's mansion had already come to his door!
