Chapter 168: Zhili Garrison

Finally arrived at Baoding Mansion.

Li Wei heard the good news in the car, and her first thought was that she could finally go to the toilet freely!

People have three urgencies, this is really true.

Think about the most difficult thing in the past is just to find a toilet in the scenic spot, find a per capita charge ranging from two to five yuan, once borrowed the toilet in the farmhouse, people said that eating can be in vain, do not eat to take ten yuan for your people to use.

And then they shelled out ten bucks? No, it's just that lunch was solved there, including the three urgent problems of a carload of people.

It was the guard next to the fourth master who came to report the news, and he also said: "Master, the master is afraid that he won't be able to come in front, so ask the little one to follow you." ”

Through the curtain of the car, she immediately thanked her: "Thank you for your hard work." ”

The guard said, "Don't dare, don't dare." After saying that, he retreated, avoided the car for a few steps before riding his horse forward, and it was easy to raise dust when he ran next to the car.

Li Wei has been sitting in the car for a few days, and she also understands that this is the thoughtfulness and carefulness of the guards. Along the way, I don't know how many horses galloped from the front of the car, every time she heard the sound of hurried horses' hooves behind her, she subconsciously took a handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose, and when she got off the car at night, the car was covered with a layer of loess.

The dust is said to be force majeure, but it always gives people a feeling of not being respected. She also knew that in terms of qualifications, she was just a side of Baylor, and she was not an important person. Although she is a crossing drop, and the fourth master is Emperor Yongzheng, at this stage, neither of them can be regarded as a mighty person who is driven by a tiger and worshiped by the Quartet.

And the fourth master has one day to raise his eyebrows in the future, and her secret can't be taken out in this life to shock the world.

The prophet was indeed lonely.

In this way, it seems that the guard of the fourth master is really his own family.

Li Wei was a little moved, and said to the jade bottle: "Now I can finally make it easier." ”

The jade bottle poured half a cup of tea, took a small sip for her to moisten her mouth, and said with a smile: "When you get to the place, the master can have a good rest." ”

"Take a bath first, then ......" Before she finished speaking, the carriage suddenly sped up, and most of the tea in her hand was spilled in a flash. She and the jade bottle each sat down steadily, and before the jade bottle scolded the coachman outside, the guard came back just now, and said loudly outside the car: "Master, let's go one step faster, and the front said that we should enter Baoding Mansion early." ”

After saying this, without waiting for her to answer, he first went ahead to explore or lead the way.

The words of the jade bottle to this person disrupted his thoughts, forgot about the coachman, and said, "Master, why did you tell us to run ahead?" ”

Li Wei didn't know, the two looked at each other.

There were still people outside urging the coachman, one by one: "Hurry up!" Hurry up! ”

The coachman also hurried faster and faster under the urging, and they had to sit firmly in the car first, listening to the coachman outside constantly flicking the empty whip, snapping and crunching, and the mules and horses pulling the cart were frightened and galloped on all fours.

Soon, Li Wei saw the royal car stopped in front of her from the other side of the car window.

The jade bottle came over to look at the Ming Huang Imperial Driver who stopped for a long time, and said, "No wonder it's so up-and-down, we don't take the official road now, we want to go around and enter the city." ”

That's the way it was, all the retinue after the royal car made a detour from the back and entered the city first.

The front gate should be left to the emperor to walk, Li Wei's car drove away the city gate is the side city gate, probably now for the people of Baoding Mansion to walk, when her car passed, see that the city gate on this side has actually implemented temporary military control, all the common people, the general carriage is all blocked outside the city gate, groups of people gathered on both sides of the city gate, a road leading to the city gate is surrounded by soldiers three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry.

Her car entered the city from here, guided by the guards in front of her.

Look at the sky, I don't know when Baoding Mansion will close the city gate. She suspected that at this time, the gates would be closed when they were all over. These people probably won't be able to go home today.

After becoming a privileged class, this is the first time Li Wei has used privilege so weakly. As you can see from the car window, most of them are ordinary people. There are those who carry firewood, those who carry burdens, those who carry burdens, those who pull carts, and so on.

There are also some people who drive mule carts and sedan chairs, which may be the official eunuchs of Baoding Mansion, with green oil cloth roofs, oily and slippery mules, and cleanly dressed servants in front of the car. She also saw two of her attendants carrying the silver to the gate of the city and calling for them to be chased away.

I guess I want to go into the city with me.

After passing the city gate, you will see the sheep intestine path, the crisp tapping of horses' hooves, and the cars of some small vendors are casually placed in the small alleys on both sides of the road, covered with a large cloth. You can also see the goods on the vendors scattered on the ground, which has been trampled on in a mess.

Putting down the curtain, Li Wei was in no mood to look at it anymore.

The road was silent, only the sound of guards running back and forth to pass words occasionally came from outside the car, and the guards left by the fourth master were always by the side of the car.

When the car stopped, it was already twilight.

What surprised Li Wei was that the place where the car was parked was obviously not a palace like the palace she imagined, but an obvious mansion. What's going on? Is she staying in someone else's house?

Zhao Quanbao came up to help her and said, "Master, get on the sedan chair, it's our own sedan chair." ”

Even the sedan chair was carried?!

She sat in the sedan chair, Zhao Quanbao led people to follow, and the jade bottle and jade cup sat in the small sedan chair behind. Yuyan took the rest to the yard to arrange it first. When she got off the sedan chair again, she saw a sign hanging on the lintel of the room in front of her: Guishoutang.

Jade Vase ran up from behind and waited for her to enter the house. Everything in the room was already familiar to her. Even her chaise longue was moved over as it was.

She really didn't know they were bringing so many things.

I was tired and didn't care about saying much all the way, and when she was waiting for the meal after washing, she called Zhao Quanbao and asked, "How do I think this house looks like an old lady's house?" ”

Zhao Quanbao stood at the bottom and said with a smile: "I heard that this house is a courtyard donated by the official eunuchs of Baoding Mansion for our Lord Belle's living." This house was indeed prepared for the old lady of their family, but they had built it themselves and had not yet come to live in it. The master can rest assured that he will stay. ”

Sure enough, it's someone else's. She also wanted to live in the palace for a while, but the result was to occupy someone else's house for two months.

What is this called......

Eunuch Liu hadn't come yet, and the guard sent by the fourth master asked to see him. Li Wei hurriedly called in, and the guards spoke under the porch and did not enter the house. Fortunately, there is nothing to avoid people, that is, the fourth master told him to say that he will not come back tonight.

Well?

"What's going on?" Li Wei asked.

The guard said: "The master is waiting for the Lord Banzai outside the city, and he will not be able to come back until tomorrow after the Lord Banzai enters the city." ”

The emperor is still outside the city? She looked at the sky outside, and it was already dark.

"All the masters who came with me are outside the city?" She said in surprise.

"Yes, the prince of Zhijun, the crown prince, our master, the ninth master and the thirteenth master are all camped outside the city." The guard said.

What is this rhythm?

Weishenme didn't enter the city when he arrived in Baoding Mansion, and he had to stop outside for the night?

Li Wei asked the guard: "Then do you want to go back quickly?" ”

The guard smiled: "The master instructed the slave to follow the master and not go back." Tomorrow morning I will open the gates of the city, and then I will go and speak to my master. At night, the slave is guarding the outer courtyard, and the master has orders, just call someone to call the slave. ”

With this guard here, Li Wei always felt a lot safer. It is said that the fourth master gave her twenty guards when she went out this time, and the four people in the lead had already kowtowed to her and recognized people, but this guard was sent by the fourth master, just like one eye of the fourth master, so that people have the backbone.

Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief and said busily: "Then you go and rest, today is also a hard day for you." ”

When the guards retired, she said to Zhao Quanbao: "Tell Eunuch Liu to stop my meal first, prepare food for these guards first, don't be a pity, if you don't bring enough, or can't buy it for a while, just take it out of my share." ”

Zhao Quanbao said: "Where is the use of the master's example? Baoding Mansion has long been prepared, and there are a lot of people left in this house, just now the slaves went to take a look, and there were live chickens and pigs. The master doesn't have to worry about the guards, they have already eaten. ”

The group of guards were all from a full background, and they were all uncles. He saw just now that they had already drunk and eaten, and the local government was not stupid. The people who borrowed the house to settle down had already prepared a feast, and as soon as they arrived, the feast was delivered.

It's just that the master's side is still waiting for their own people to rest assured. When the table was delivered, it was called to stop, and it was cheaper for the group of uncles outside. The master is still worried that they will not have enough to eat and drink? It would be nice to be up tomorrow morning.

Hot soup and hot dishes are much more comfortable to eat. Li Wei took a sip of hot millet porridge, and ate steamed buns with salted duck eggs, Eunuch Liu sent this kind of home-cooked side dishes tonight, she was tired in the car for several days, and she really had no appetite, and she was only refreshed when she saw this table of food.

She ate comfortably by herself, and inevitably thought of the children at home and the fourth master outside the city.

Why the hell are they going to stay outside the city and not come in?

Outside the city, the royal tent was brightly lit, and teams of fully cloaked guards were constantly patrolling.

When the fourth master returned to the tent, Su Peisheng immediately brought over a casserole with half a watermelon, put it in front of the fourth master and lifted the lid, and the beef soup inside was still tumbling.

"Master, use it quickly. A moment is not enough. Su Peisheng said as he gave him a small bowl.

The fourth master took two sips and drank it directly, picked up the steamed dough cake next to it and ate it with soup, and when the soup was almost not hot, he didn't need a bowl, and he ate it directly in the pot.

There are also a few large pieces of beef brisket in the soup, and the fourth master usually doesn't move the meat, but after drinking the soup today, he picked up two pieces and ate them. Su Peisheng was a little surprised.

After eating, the fourth master got up and said, "The rest will be rewarded to you." If you don't have time in the evening, you don't need to prepare hot water, just prepare tea. ”

Does this mean that you come back late at night, and you are afraid that you will not have time to take a shower when you come back?

During this time, you must take a bath when you come back every day, and how can you see the emperor without washing your face the next day?

Su Peisheng didn't dare to ask more, and waited for the fourth master to go out. The guards guarding in front of the fourth master's tent knelt down to see him off, but the fourth master just said a little hard and left. Su Peisheng didn't say much, and sent the fourth master back without squinting.

Now the guards guarding the tent are all local garrisons, and the fourth master's own guards are all blocked out.

It's really worrying.

When Su Peisheng was packing up his things, he was still playing drums in his heart.

The fourth master came to the imperial tent and saw that only Lao Jiu and Thirteen were standing outside, he paused and walked to stand in front of Lao Jiu.

Lao Jiu gave him a look, and the fourth master glanced at the imperial tent, although he couldn't see anything, he understood what Lao Jiu meant. The king of Zhijun is afraid that he is in the royal tent.

The fourth master glanced around. The tents of their brothers were all around the imperial tent, and the prince's tent was in the east, and it was very obvious that it was hung with an apricot yellow sign. But the fourth master visually measured the distance between the prince's tent and the imperial tent, and found that the prince's tent was one or two points farther than the king of Zhijun on the other side.

Moreover, the lights were on in the prince's tent.

That is to say, the crown prince is in his tent, while the king of Naojun is in front of the emperor.

The fourth master took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, and the old nine behind him glanced at him, with a mocking face. Zuihou's thirteen is a regular look down at his feet.

He didn't care what Lao Jiu meant.

Emperor...... It's too obvious.

Zhili is where the garrison is, as long as the emperor gives an order, Baoding Mansion will call 200,000 troops to surround it tomorrow morning.

Thinking of this, the fourth master couldn't help but sweat on his forehead.

That night, the thunder of horses' hooves could be heard in the distance. The fourth master and his brothers stood for the first half of the night, and only returned to their tents in the second half of the night. But he couldn't sleep at all. Unable to lie down on the couch, he got up and paced back and forth in the tent.

It seems that the emperor did order the generals of the nearby garrison to come and visit, but when this decree was given, they didn't hear any rumors.

Maybe the king of Zhijun knows, the prince ......

The fourth master shook his head secretly, whether the prince understood this or not, he couldn't guess. But he didn't know anything about it beforehand.

The emperor toured Gyeonggi and went to Zhili, he guessed that the emperor would definitely call the nearby garrisons, but what he thought was that it would be after the emperor entered Baoding Mansion and settled down.

I didn't expect it to be so anxious and hurried before entering the city. Camp here, see you in a hurry, and then what?

The fourth master stood in the tent, but did not step out of the tent to look in the direction of the imperial tent. The guards guarding outside the tent were the emperor's people. He sighed softly, but returned to the couch and lay down obediently, clasped his hands on his abdomen, and closed his eyes in meditation.

Outside the tent there was another thunderous sound of horses' hooves.
