Chapter 185: The Covenant of Zhenyuguan
Early the next morning, Minyi took her mother's handwritten handwriting, and under the leadership of Jiang Yunfei and Jiang Zi, she passed through the hidden cave of Cuiming Mountain and galloped towards Yizhou. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The distance from Yongzhou, which was originally built as a grain and grass supply station in Zhenyuguan, was not too far, and the three of them worked non-stop all the way to finally arrive at their destination in the evening.
Hearing the report, Shen Ze did not delay for a moment, and immediately met them in the study.
After briefly describing her experience in Limeng in the past few months, Minyi took out her mother's letter and got to the point.
"This is a letter he asked my mother to write yesterday, and my mother privately asked me not to give you ideas, and it is up to you to decide whether to go to the appointment or not."
The eldest princess was a little surprised when she heard that Kerim was going to return Zhenyuguan, not to mention Shen Ze. After reading the letter, his face was solemn and he was silent for a long time.
Minyi waited for a while and then lost her patience and yawned loudly: "It's a big deal, you think about it slowly, anyway, it's not like you're going to go tomorrow night." By the way, count the days, Ah Hua should be born, right? ”
Shen Ze came back to his senses, only then did he realize that he had left a few people dry for a long time, and smiled apologetically at them, "I came to the house a few days ago, and I gave birth to a daughter on April 17. ”
"April 17?" All three exclaimed at the same time.
"What's wrong?" Shen Ze was a little puzzled, "Is April 17 a big day?" Why are you so surprised? ”
"Haha, my Minyi County Lord's birthday, do you think it's a big day?" Minyi patted her chest quirkily, "The baby is too close to me, I must recognize her as my goddaughter." ”
Shen Ze smiled, shook his head and flatly refused: "That's not good." ”
"Why?" Minyi wrinkled his little nose dissatisfied, and he had the posture that he would never give up if he didn't say that he was ugly.
"It's so stupid, didn't Wei Guogong say that he would recognize you as a righteous daughter when you return to Beijing? You have become the righteous daughter of Wei Guogong, that is, the baby's aunt, how can you accept her as a goddaughter? ”
Jiang Yunfei replied hurriedly, and by the way, he didn't forget to sarcastically say a word to Minyi.
Minyi's face flushed, and she was not convinced that he was stupid, so she glared back with a vicious look: "You are stupid, you are the stupidest!" ”
Seeing that the two of them were about to pinch each other, Jiang Zi hurriedly came out to divert their attention: "Ah yes, Shizi, is there any news of my master?" ”
Sure enough, as soon as Feng Feifei was mentioned, the two of them died down at the same time, and they both moved their eyes back to Shen Ze.
Shen Ze's voice lowered a little, and he nodded heavily: "Just a few days ago, the girl who descended the pearl came to inquire if you have returned." According to Dr. Bi's diagnosis, she ...... These days are just these days. ”
"Did she leave an address? Let's get there now! Minyi's face turned white in shock, and she couldn't care about the fatigue of her whole day's journey.
"Yes, she left an address, in a small village fifty miles away from Yizhou, I wrote to you."
"I'll go with you." Taking advantage of the gap between Shen Zefen's writing, Jiang Yunfei also stood up from his chair.
"No, you stay here." After thinking about it for a while, Minyi shook her head and rejected his proposal, and it was even more rare to tell him the truth: "The recovery of Zhenyuguan is imminent, and the prince must have a lot of places to use you." Isn't it your dream to make a difference? This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity you can't afford to miss. ”
Shen Ze handed the written note to Minyi, took over the conversation and directly made a decision for Jiang Yunfei, who was entangled: "The county lord is right, men should put the country first, and this commander orders you to return to the team immediately!" ”
Jiang Yunfei also knew that what they said was right, but when he thought of not being able to see Feng Feifei for the last time, he never felt good in his heart. In the month when he was "borrowed" by Minyi, every time he was teased, Feng Feifei finally rescued him, and often kindly taught him some common sense of poison, so that he avoided the "trap" set by Minyi several times.
With a sigh of relief, Jiang Yunfei sent Minyi and Jiang Zi all the way out of the barracks, looking at their backs as they left in the dust, they were stunned for a while, before turning around and returning to the cavalry camp to which they belonged.
Lying on the bed, Shen Ze recalled the letter that he had read countless times, and there seemed to be two voices arguing fiercely in his mind.
Go!
Don't go!
Go, everything is as the letter says, of course, it is good, but if the Crimean cheats, as long as the arrangements are made properly in advance and the most suitable person is found to take over the overall situation of his command, the loss will only be his own life, and it will not affect the situation of the war.
Although it is the safest and safest thing to do, if what Klim said is true, then this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is missed.
Thinking of his loving father and wife at home, and the daughter who had not yet had time to see each other, Shen Ze couldn't put aside his personal life and death for a long time; But after thinking about it, if he gave up the shortcut and chose to attack and recover Zhenyuguan head-on, then there would be countless soldiers and horses wrapped in leather and would never be able to reunite with relatives and friends at home again.
As the saying goes, mercy does not command soldiers. When it was time to sacrifice, Shen Ze would certainly not be soft-hearted, but when an opportunity to minimize casualties was placed in front of him, Shen Ze really couldn't turn a blind eye.
When the first rooster crow came, the bloodshot starry eyes gradually exuded a determined look. Yes, after a night of tossing and turning, Shen Ze finally made the most difficult choice - to go to the appointment alone.
After making up his mind, he pressed all his children's feelings in his heart, and plunged headlong into the tense and busy deployment without hesitation.
He first wrote a letter and explained the whole story of the Crimean sending people to contact him, and because he really couldn't determine the authenticity, Shen Ze skipped the eldest princess's mother and daughter, so as not to affect them in defeat. It was only vaguely indicated to the emperor that Crimea had put forward a condition, which could only be known after he had gone to the appointment for detailed negotiations.
This letter was sent out earlier than the prison army's report, and naturally it was sent to the palace one step earlier. And the reason why the emperor was furious after reading the confession of the spies was not because of the name of treason that people with intentions speculated wildly, but because Shen Ze, as the commander of the first army, acted so rashly. As the prince of the enemy country, what does the Crimean want, as for betraying his country in exchange for benefits? This kind of vague and insincere nonsense, Shen Ze actually really believed it in the end, and it was ridiculous to go to the appointment alone in the middle of the night!
The so-called three people became tigers, the emperor was just a simple anger at first, but after the report from the prison army, he suspected that Shen Ze's voice was getting louder and louder day by day, and the emperor inevitably became suspicious in the end, and the Weiguo Mansion was surrounded and placed under house arrest because of this.
Sending out the secret music, Shen Ze summoned Jiang Yunfei and the Jiang family brothers, as well as several henchmen who he had carefully cultivated this year, to discuss and deploy together. (To be continued.) )
