Chapter 539: Bad News
Wei Xuan waited in this grassland for sixteen days before ushering in the first sunny day. After seeing the sun, Wei Xuan knew how lucky he was before to meet Gongzi Shi when he had just transferred.
Because the road they took was exactly the opposite direction to the one they were going to evacuate.
Taking advantage of the sunny day, the two sisters and brothers returned home with the captured captives.
On the side of the sister and brother, there is a joy of getting out of trouble, but on the other hand, Dayong's situation is not very good.
The first is the embarrassment of the Northwest Army without a leader. Wei Xuan is now the actual ruler of the northwest, but he is not a person who likes to squat in the rear, with the eagle guard and the wolf guard with a white face, as soon as he goes out, it will be more than a month.
At the beginning, there was still some news, but slowly, there was no news.
Lingzhou's border defense system has been arranged, and everyone is waiting for the main general to give an order, but now the main general has no news. The adjutant general also sent some scouts out to find news.
However, those scouts, how can they compare with the wolf guard and the eagle guard, they can't find a suitable clue at all. The farthest wave of people was the wolf guard under Chang Ruicheng. is also known as the wolf guard, everyone used to think that Chang Ruicheng's wolf guard was very powerful, but now they have seen Rong Bai's wolf guard, Chang Ruicheng's wolf guard's combat effectiveness is not so terrifying.
Chang Ruicheng was the farthest, and he only reached the land of Qi State, and then he was directly forced back by Qi State's army.
There are not only two princes in the Qi Kingdom, but the gap in the defense line on the Lingzhou side has not been opened for a long time, and it has been reunited by the forces of the two princes of the Qi State. Now if you want to find a little news about Rong Bai and Wei Xuan, it is even more difficult than ascending to the sky.
However, even if it is difficult, there is no way, because, on the side of the capital, many people are waiting for this news.
The most eye-catching person is Hengqing. It took a hundred days to hurt the muscles and bones, but the hundred days did not arrive, and at the end of April, Hengqing's leg had almost recovered. Now, as he walks on the road, others can't see any difference from ordinary people.
Originally, the disabled Hengqing still had a little weakness in the eyes of everyone, but now he is standing in the court, no one dares to disobey him. Obviously it's just a book, but even His Majesty the Prime Minister has to give him a few colors.
In this way, the people in the court did not dare to point fingers at him, and naturally, some of the previous noises could not be heard now. During this period of time, except for the last dynasty, the rest of the time was in the palace.
His Majesty proposed to Rong Qi, and Rong Qi did not hide it from Hengqing. As Rong Bai's husband and Rong Qi's "brother-in-law", Hengqing's attention to Yongye has risen to the highest level.
When he was free, Hengqing wanted to be white. Rong Bai's reply to the letter was far less diligent than Hengqing's letter writing. But this can't be blamed on Rong Bai, the borders are battlefields, and it's not easy to find a place to write letters, not to mention, the frequency of Hengqing's letters is one or two almost every day.
However, even if Rong Bai replies to letters with a low frequency, it should not be as low as it is now. At the end of April, it was almost May, but the last letter in Hengqing's arms was sent back in mid-March.
It's been a month and a half since I heard from Rong Bai.
On the side of the capital, there is not much news from the northwest, and the northwest army is replanning the defense line, and there is almost no need to send the news back.
The longer this continues, the more anxious Hengqing becomes. At the beginning of May, Hengqing couldn't wait, he wanted to see Rong Bai, especially wanted to see. However, he could not leave the capital.
The court cleaned up the remaining forces of the Gongzi world before, and similarly, there were too many omissions in the officials of the court, and His Majesty issued an order to open another imperial examination, and now it is the most critical time, Hengqing, as the chief examiner, has no way to leave.
In this imperial examination, Hengqing let the children of the academy participate. In the last imperial examination, the children of the academy did not have the strength to participate in the imperial examination, but this time, those outstanding people have the strength to participate, and Hengqing is also willing to let these people who have a good relationship with His Majesty enter the court.
At least in this way, with their help, I can go to Rongbai in the open.
Hengqing's idea is very good, but the premise of all this is that Rong Bai still has news. Now, Rong Bai can't get any news at all. Hengqing didn't have the heart to do anything else at all.
Wait like this, and it will be half a month.
The scientific examination that was held in advance was a year and a half earlier than the normal time, and the hottest day was just the time for the exam. After the invigilation of Hengqing for a day, the whole person was dizzy, and walked home with steps.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw someone I hadn't seen for a long time.
Hengqing is different from Rong Bai, he can remember everyone he has seen. What's more, this person is still an old acquaintance.
"Sun Da?"
Sun Da, who should have been in the northwest, is now standing in front of him, how can Hengqing not be surprised.
Sun Da was stunned, as the first group of people to be Hengqing, Sun Da knew that this person's leg was problematic. However, what happened just now, this man walked in front of him, and walked in front of him on two legs.
"You're back. The strangeness of Hengqing only lasted for a moment, and then it returned to its original appearance.
"Lord Li, something happened in the northwest. Sun Da looked at Hengqing, and the more he looked at it, the more bottomless he felt in his heart. He was not a good talker, and no one who could speak was willing to accept the task of this confession.
Something happened in the Northwest?
Hengqing took a sharp step back before he stood firm. If there is an accident in the northwest, you should notify the saint as soon as possible, and it is obviously not an accident in the northwest waiting in your own home. And the only one who has a relationship with himself is Rong Bai.
Hengqing's mind repeated a sentence over and over again, if it is not Rong Bai, it must not be Rong Bai.
It's a pity that Sun Da didn't receive Hengqing's thoughts, and he said what Hengqing was most worried about word by word. The people of Qi State mastered the technology of gunpowder, but the first thing they did was to blow up the danger between Qi and Dayong.
It was not Gongzishi who blew it up, but Gongzishi's second brother, the second prince of Qi State, who led the army to blow it up. As for the reason why the second prince blew up the natural danger, it was because during the days when Wei Xuan broke off contact with Rong Bai and Hengqing, in fact, he took people deep into the Qi Kingdom to hunt down and kill the prince.
"According to the news brought by Wei Shizi Goshawk, Gongzi Shi and his people have been captured by Eagle Guard and Wolf Guard. However, the way back was blocked. ”
If the natural danger is blown up, Rong Bai and Wei Xuan will not be able to come back the same way, they will have to take a detour. However, the other road was controlled by the second prince of Qi State, and that place was more dangerous than the original road.
"Another way, how can they come back?" Hengqing looked at Sun Da.
Sun Da did not answer this question. He was sent back by Chang Ruicheng. In fact, the purpose of coming back was just to tell Hengqing about this matter, and similarly, to prepare Dayong for the worst.
