Chapter Seventy-Three: A Call for Help

"What to do!"

In the living room, the five people stared at each other, discussing and discussing, but there was no good way to deal with it, Wang Wenyan, who had always been resourceful and able to mix up the situation, lost his former demeanor at the moment, his collar was torn open, and he kept panting.

Although they didn't come up with any good solutions, several people reached a consensus, that is, with the more than 20 brocade guards brought out now, there was no way to resist, and they had to move rescue troops. As for whether this rescuer moved from the local guard post and the Jinyi guard, or directly entered Beijing by horse, it was not unified.

Wang Wenyan and Luo Yangxing naturally leaned towards the former and found someone to solve it themselves, while Wei Zhongxian, Wang Sheng and Zhang Shize were inclined to the latter and went back to find their grandson.

"In this way, let's go to the local Jinyi Wei and Tianjin Wei first, and see if we can bring in helpers, if there are enough people here, we will defend ourselves, and if the reinforcements are not enough, then go to Beijing to find His Royal Highness Taisun." Anyway, it's only a distance of four or five hours, very quickly. ”

In the end, Wang Wenyan, who is the head of the company, set the tone of the treatment, first the local and then the Beijing division, so that it can not only reflect his own ability, but also will not happen in case there are any major omissions.

When the other four heard this, they thought about it, and after finding that there were no loopholes, they also agreed. After that, he used his ability to pull the relationship and move the rescuers, Zhang Shize went to the guard, Luo Yangxing went to Jinyiwei, and Wei Zhongxian went to Cangzhou Mansion. Since the matter was discussed too late, I had to go the next day.

However, when the three of them came to the door full of hope, they didn't even see anyone, it was not that the local guard had a heavy responsibility, and they had to protect Caoyun, and they couldn't easily dispatch Yunyun; Either there is no order from the peak, and you can't use it for public and private purposes; It's not that the local Jiangyang thieves are shocked, and the government is organizing encirclement and suppression, and there is no manpower or the like.

In short, the three of them took advantage of the excitement and returned in a huff without the slightest assistance.

"It's back!" Seeing the three of them, Wang Wen asked in a calm tone. It seems that the fate of the three people was expected for a long time. The other two didn't notice it, but Wei Zhongxian, who had always been shrewd, seemed to have discovered something.

He suddenly laughed and asked, "It seems that Lord Wang has found something." Wei Zhongxian's tone was very kind, but for some reason it was cold, which made people extremely uncomfortable to listen to.

The other two knew that he was holding a fire in his heart. As for why, because Zhang Shize and Luo Yangxing are also in this state now.

"Lord Wang, what the hell is going on. This group of turtle grandsons in the guard house dared to take a posture for this son, I was really angry! Zhang Shize shouted, he was really not as angry as he was today. The other party's tone and posture were neither yin nor yang, and Piri Yangqiu's tone and posture made him extremely uncomfortable, but he didn't know how to attack, and his heart was extremely uncomfortable.

Luo Yangxing didn't shout at that time, but his eyes narrowed, and he couldn't help stroking the handle of the embroidered spring knife, giving people a feeling that a tiger was about to wake up.

"I found the guy who sent me a message in town today, and I went to inquire about it, but it was a terrible person. In other words, the family behind him is incredible. Wang Wenyan slowly told the news he had inquired about today.

The Changlu Li family, on the surface, is a local family of poetry and books, but behind the scenes, it almost monopolizes the sale of private salt in the entire Changlu Salt District. In addition, this Li family is inextricably linked with those salt merchant families in the south of the Yangtze River.

"What does this mean, could it be that this Li family is against us?" Zhang Shize asked a little incredulously, in his eyes, a layman can't think about it anymore, what energy can he have?

"No, I don't know who it is, but I do know that we definitely won't get help from Tianjin." Looking at the ignorant looks of several people, Wang Wenyan suddenly gave up explaining and directly told the results. How did he explain the intricate and responsible relationship at the bottom with a few high-ranking big people.

The imperial power does not go to the countryside! Sighing, Wang Wenyan closed his eyes and said: "Ask His Royal Highness the Taisun for help, Lord Luo, please select three or four good players from your command, I'm afraid that this road will not be smooth!" ”

"Good ......," Luo Yangxing agreed. It's just that he hesitated, and after thinking about Wang Wenyan's words, he said resolutely: "Forget it, I'll go to Beijing by myself." ”

Without waiting for others to dissuade him, he grabbed the embroidered spring knife and went out to gather the elite men he had brought out. When it was time to go out, I counted it carefully, and there were no less than ten people. The group was all fast horses, and they rushed to Jingshi.

On the official road from Changlu to Jingshi, a place that must be passed. In the hidden bushes on both sides, no less than fifty people lurked densely. These people were all armed with weapons, and their faces were fierce, and they were not good citizens at first glance. They were lying in ambush here, and one of the black-faced men kept looking towards the official road, as if waiting for something.

Da-da-da-da!

The crisp sound of horses' hooves pierced, and this sound made the black-faced man led by this group of people feel refreshed, and secretly said that he was coming!

In the distance, a single rider galloped forward, he seemed to know that there was someone here, and when he came here, he stopped his horse with a direct cry. I looked around, but I didn't seem to find anything. He didn't get off the horse either, holding a fast jade pendant in his hand, and shouted directly: "Leader Li, the head of the family has an order, give up the action, give up the action." ”

"Phew, phew!" The black-faced man walked out of the hiding place with an unhappy expression, and his men followed.

"Go back!" This family seems to be very prestigious, but it was just an order, and the black-faced man didn't even ask, and directly gave up his hard-working actions for a long time.

After being nervous, they couldn't help but get tired, and left from another path, and the knight who gave the order saw this, and didn't say anything, put the jade pendant back in his arms, and turned back to leave.

About a quarter of an hour after they left, a group of about ten horsemen galloped in the wind and dust, and when they ran here, the knight at the head waved his hand, and the whole team listened.

Standing on the horse, Luo Yangxing looked around carefully, and kept a large number of the surrounding environment of the entire official road, the shrubs that could hide people, the ridges that were trampled messily, the grass that fell down, and the miscellaneous footprints, the more he looked at his face, the more ugly it became.

"That's a big bold." Luo Yangxing's face was extremely ugly and he spit out such a sentence, he was secretly glad in his heart, fortunately he went out this time for the sake of completely leading the team, so that the other party had some scruples to retreat. Otherwise, if you let your subordinates go on the road, not only will you lose manpower, but you will also likely delay the major affairs of Your Highness.

"My lord, this is someone who tried to ambush us, but somehow retreated." There were also knowledgeable people next to him, and after observing the surrounding environment, they also came to the same conclusion.

"Humph! We'll see you then. Luo Yangxing did not answer, raised his horsewhip, and galloped away. After a burst of dust, the place is no longer inhabited.

The Forbidden City, the garrison of the East Palace.

The sound of Huhe kept ringing, and two hundred teenagers were dressed neatly and training with spears in hand. At this time, you can see the benefits of promoting the squad leader and giving them lectures, compared to before, the whole phalanx is much more agile, and these young soldiers are consciously trying to keep the queue neat.

This is the result of understanding the truth.

At this time, it was the second day after Zhu Youxiao announced the appointment of the squad leader, and after two days of running-in and familiarity, the small team of 200 people seemed to have a sense of integration.

"It's almost time for the first field exercise." Looking at the team that changes freely and the queue is extremely neat, Zhu Youxiao is still very satisfied, although it took a lot more time than later generations, but as long as he can train from scratch, it is the greatest achievement.

At this time, Wang Chengen walked up quickly, and whispered in his ear: "Master, Luo Yang's Luo Baihu asks to see." ”

"Luo Yang's sex? Didn't he go to Tianjin? Zhu Youxiao was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, afraid that something big had happened that they couldn't handle.

"Let him in and bring him to the side hall." Zhu Youxiao immediately got up and got down from the rostrum, and he didn't change his clothes, just passing in a military uniform. The training of the team still did not stop, and after the formation drill was completed, each squad took the lead and started a small-scale training.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Waiting for Luo Yangxing to come in, without waiting for him to pay a big salute, Zhu Youxiao asked directly. This directness made Luo Yangxing, who had just come in, a little stunned. However, after coming back to his senses, he still bowed very respectfully before he opened his mouth to tell the story in detail.

"The Changlu Li family, a salt merchant in Jiangnan, I knew that I wouldn't let me meddle in the salt industry so easily." Zhu Youxiao sneered, and he was not angry. He had long expected that the situation would not be so simple, and from the government's annual salt tax revenue of only one million taels, he knew how heavy the shady scene was.

Tens of millions of taels of salt are produced, but only more than one million taels can be harvested, and the shady scene in this is afraid that only Caoyun can compare with it.

"It's just the right time to come, bandits, just in time to try the knife on my team." Zhu Youxiao pondered silently in his heart. It also takes a long time to get from Beijing to Tianjin, and it is enough to walk for one day. It just happened that this training, out of the effect of a lot of exercise, he reported to Wanli that he would take it outside the palace for seven or eight days, which was enough for this time.

"Liu Ruoyu, pass the order, pack your bags, pack your backpack, and train in full gear in the early hours of tomorrow morning." After thinking about it, Zhu Youxiao gave an order.

"Yes, sir." Liu Ruoyu, who had been following him, immediately sealed the edict.

"Luo Yang, tomorrow at the end of the day, wait at Dong'anmen to explore horses for the army." Turning his head, Zhu Youxiao gave another order to Luo Yangxing, who had been kneeling.

"The subordinates have orders." Luo Yangxing hugged his fists and was also ordered to retreat.

"Tianjin." After everyone went out, Zhu Youxiao looked at the dim sun outside, licked the corners of his mouth, and showed a somewhat terrifying smile.
