Chapter 666: A long-distance attack to save Zuo Ling
The Chinese army of the Zhongshan Palace, who was also the commander of the guard of the little prince, immediately came over and stood with his bow.
"You accompany my junior brother on a trip, and listen to him in everything, but in the name of our government, and all responsibilities will be borne by the government of China afterwards. ”
"Yes. The Chinese army of the palace also responded to the promise, and immediately went out to give orders, preparing men and horses and necessary things on the road.
Fengyang to Nanjing is about 200 kilometers in total, about 400 miles, and can be reached by galloping fast horses in a day or overnight, but this is the limit speed of the horses, which can not last, and can only change horses on the road. The average person will definitely not be able to stand the intense bumps under the rapidity.
"I said junior brother, don't be impulsive about this, the most important thing is that when you get there, it doesn't matter if you kill people and set fires, you must remember that in the name of my country's government, my father and teacher can bear everything for you, it's not something you don't use, let's put public salt, you have to sell it as private salt, isn't that stupid?"
"This matter, the most important thing is to rescue Miss Zuo safely, let's check the accounts of the Zuo family slowly, calculate slowly, you want those people to die, don't do it first, make a list for me, I guarantee that they won't live, but let's not lynch them, kill them with the law, and if the law can't kill them, solve it in prison, and no one can catch it." ”
"Don't be impulsive, a momentary pleasure may ruin your life, the most important thing is that you can't do it. ”
The little prince rode a horse and accompanied him all the way, instructing him all the way, and he was about to become a broken mother.
Besides, he didn't speak, his face turned blue, his lips were clenched, and he only nodded occasionally, meaning that he would consider the reminder of the little prince.
When he arrived at the gate of the city, the Marquis of Wu Cheng was already waiting there with a team of men and horses.
"Second brother, how did you hear that Miss Zuo is under house arrest by her family, and her life is in danger?" Wu Chenghou shouted.
"I said, big brother, don't get involved in this matter, okay, it's already messy enough. The little prince covered his eyes and shouted.
"What big brother, you used to call me uncle. ”
"That was before, and now we have to talk about it. I'll tell you about this, in the name of our government, you must not be more impulsive than him, and you don't need to make this trip. ”
"Of course I can't go, your father looks at me so badly that he won't even let me out of this city gate, it's too embarrassing. Wucheng Hou said stupidly.
Besides, I saw that there was indeed a team of guards from the Zhongshan Palace's palace at the gate of the city, and it turned out that they were blocking the Marquis of Wucheng here.
"Second brother, I have prepared a hundred people for you, two hundred fast horses, this is my token and seal, along the way you can requisition the horses of the post station and the military station, and if you want to use them, you can also use them, it is estimated that you will not need them. When you arrive in Fengyang, if you don't have enough manpower, you will take my seal to Fengyangwei and directly recruit the army of the guard. Wu Cheng Hou took out a token and a big seal.
"I said, big brother, we don't need these things from you, we can also recruit and transfer the post stations and military stations along the way, and we can also use the officers and soldiers of Fengyangwei, but we don't need it at all, with two hundred people, even if a third is lost along the way, the rest of the people are enough. Besides, it's not to attack the city and grab the land, isn't it to level a small family. The little prince smiled bitterly.
"Well, that's fine, who will lead the team of the people you go to?" asked Wu Chenghou.
"Lord Hou, it is the last general to lead the team. The royal army rode to the Marquis of Wucheng and gave a military salute.
"Okay, I'll leave the matter of my second brother to you. "Marquis Wucheng was relieved to see that the Zhongshan Wangfu had even sent the Chinese army, and it was obvious that he was also fully supportive.
At this time, a person appeared behind the Marquis of Wu Cheng, and he fixed his eyes on Xiao Nier, and changed into a riding uniform at this moment.
"Brother, I'll go with you too. ”
"No, we don't change horses along the way, you can't stand it at all. You stay at home for a good time, and I'll bring Zuo Ling back in two or three days. Besides, he hurriedly said.
"No, Sister Zuo is in trouble, I can't sit still like you, if I wait, I have to go crazy. I can endure hardships, don't forget where I grew up. ”
"It's not okay, horseback riding is not the same as climbing a mountain. ”
"Why not, I've ridden a cow anyway, you haven't even ridden a cow. Xiao Nier was not convinced.
The people around him burst into laughter, this is a god conversation.
Marquis Wucheng came to his senses at this time, and he didn't know how to ride a horse at all, so he hurriedly asked someone to prepare a carriage.
"No, the carriage is slow and can't keep up with the line. Besides, although he had never ridden a horse, he believed that he would be able to hold on to it with his physical strength, and that his body was flexible enough to stick to the horse's back and not fall off.
"A few more horses won't be slow. "Wucheng Hou asked someone to prepare a carriage, using four fast horses with the best foot strength, it just so happened that Xiao Nier couldn't ride a horse, so the two of them just sat in the car.
After thinking about it, I agreed to this arrangement.
After all, he had never experienced a long and rapid march, and he didn't know if he was up to it, not because of physical endurance, but because of equestrianism, and he really didn't know anything.
"I forgot about it, I always thought you could do anything, I forgot that you couldn't ride a horse. Thanks to Miss Xiao for coming. The little prince also smiled bitterly, and thought of everything, but he didn't expect that he wouldn't be able to ride a horse. It's not that I didn't expect it, but I subconsciously felt that there shouldn't be anything that wouldn't or couldn't.
After about a meal, the two sides gathered outside the city gate and officially set out on the road.
Moreover, sitting in the car with Xiao Nier, feeling the amazing speed of the horse, it was indeed no slower than the cavalry.
He roughly told Xiao Nier about the confession he obtained, and Xiao Nier let out a sigh of relief and said: "That's good, it's just house arrest, and it's all her own family, she won't really poison her, she just wants a prescription." ”
"Zuo Ling is also such a strong temper, what they want to give them is, is it worth putting themselves in danger for some prescriptions?"
"You don't know Sister Zuo's temper, the more you force her, the more she refuses, if you discuss it well, maybe it's okay. Xiao Nier said.
The two of them still do not understand the importance of these prescriptions to a medical family, these prescriptions are almost equivalent to the most important resources in a medical family, and it is not too much to call them inexhaustible gold and silver mines, if compared with the country, it is an inexhaustible strategic resource.
Besides, although he practiced medicine, he didn't rely on prescriptions to eat, he still relied on medical skills, and he studied prescriptions only to develop them for Zuo Ling, so he was not only angry with the Zuo family, but also angry with Zuo Ling, and felt that she shouldn't be a big loss because of a small thing, and she actually fought to the death with her family because of this little thing, not to mention that these prescriptions were given to people in her own clan. Doesn't she usually take care of her own family?
Xiao Nier doesn't understand this even more, but she understands Zuo Ling's temperament, knows that she is that kind of fierce character, and thinks that there is something wrong with the Zuo family's methods, which is why Zuo Ling is so fiercely confrontational.
Along the way, they encountered mountains and climbed mountains, encountered water and waded in water, encountered post stations and military stations, and the royal army took out the tokens of the palace to recruit the best horses, and the horses they brought could not maintain the best speed, so they stayed in the post station and military station, and replaced them when they returned.
In the villages and small towns they passed, the common people heard the deafening sound of horses' hooves, and they were so frightened that they hurriedly closed their doors and did not dare to come out, not knowing if the official army was going to suppress the bandits again, if that was the case, the common people would suffer, and even many people fled to the mountains with their families and some daily necessities to take refuge.
Besides, he didn't know this, he was just thinking about Zuo Ling in his heart, originally he also felt that he didn't need to go on this trip in person, according to the method of the little prince's senior brother, he conveyed the order to the people and horses of the Zhongshan Palace's mansion in Fengyang, and he could also rescue the Zuo Ling family, as for the Zuo family, of course, they couldn't run or hide, and they would slowly settle accounts with them.
But he just felt that it was inappropriate to fight, and he had to go on a trip.
After a long day and a whole night of continuous galloping, even the sharpening was carried out on horses, in the car or on the side of the road, and by the next morning, when the sky was bright, they had already come to the Fengyang City Gate, and the city gate had just been opened.
The soldiers guarding the city gate were also shocked, and the Zhongfu army did not wait for them to come forward for interrogation, but raised the token and shouted: "The Nanjing Zhongshan Wangfu has come to Fengyang to handle the case! With that, he took the lead in galloping past.
The whole team followed the Chinese army into the city, the speed was still unabated, and the horse's hooves were obtained, as if they had entered the sprint stage.
When they arrived at Zuofu, the people and horses did not stop, rushed directly into the mansion, and then stopped the queue in the spacious front yard of Zuofu.
"Surround this place, all the men get together. Besides, when he got out of the car, he gave orders immediately, despite the numbness of his legs and feet. At this moment, he is like a weak general, commanding the battle with full strength.
"Yes. The Chinese army then set up their men.
The men and horses of the Marquis of Wucheng Mansion also obeyed the order at this time, and began to arrest people in the outer house of Zuofu, driving them to a place to gather.
"Who are you?" asked in a panic as a few officials in official uniforms who didn't know the details ran out.
"Are you from Fengyang Mansion, why are you here?" besides, he waved a few officials over.
"It's Gongzi, the little ones are from Fengyang Mansion, and they are here to monitor Zuo Mansion and protect Miss Zuo's safety under the orders of adults. One of the officials recognized it and said with great joy.
"You're so well protected. And sneered.
"This ......" Several officials looked at each other, they didn't know what was going on here, it was worth it, and the army of the Zhongshan Mansion came from afar to arrest people, this is a posture of raiding the family.
"Where's Miss Zuo?" asked anxiously as he looked around.
"The young lady is in the inner house, and the lord has sent four servants to protect her, and it is very safe. We have been on guard outside and have not noticed anything. The official hurriedly explained.
"Well, I have to thank Lord Xiang when I go back. Besides, his heart was a little soothed, although he knew that Xiang Zhifu was following Lian Daning's order, but he was still very grateful to him. What's more, he came at the right time, and things were much better than expected.
