The thirty-ninth round, escorted by the eldest brother
The slave wrote it down. You still have to find two inconspicuous people to go, otherwise it will be difficult to say in front of people. Mei Ruo whispered.
Rong Zhao thought for a while and said, "Let Milan and Poinsettia go, the two of them are usually the most inconspicuous." ”
"I'll do it myself." Sheng Qiong suddenly spoke.
"What did you say?" Rong Zhao thought he had misheard.
"I will go to Honghe Town by myself, and from now on I will follow you Gongzi Rong, I will be your entourage, follow you secretly, and be at your disposal at any time." Sheng Qiong said, slowly standing up from the snow.
Rong Zhao saw that the man who was shrunk into a ball of rags stood up and was a majestic and upright one, because he smiled and said, "You listen to my dispatch? Do I have such a big face? ”
Sheng Qiong turned his head to look at Rong Zhao's eyes, and said slowly: "As long as Rong Gongzi can be ashamed of me, Sheng Qiong is willing to follow you for the rest of his life." ”
"For a lifetime?" Rong Zhao looked at Sheng Qiong in surprise, and asked again after a while: "Follow?" ”
"Yes." Sheng Qiong replied in a deep voice.
Rong Zhao was silent for a long time, and Fang said: "A life is too long, as for following...... I am a man of great ambition, and if you follow me just for revenge, you really don't have to, because even if you don't follow me, I will take revenge. Whoever wants me to die in this world must die before me. So, I can assume that I didn't hear what you said. ”
"Young Master Rong!" Sheng Qiong was in a hurry.
"Don't worry, you listen to me." Rong Zhao raised his hand to signal Sheng Qiong to shut up, "You said that you would go to Honghe Town by yourself, okay, I believe that this time, you will go by yourself, go to the inn I said and wait for a woman in purple to find you, and then wait for me there with her." ”
"Young Master Rong, I really want to follow you." Sheng Qiong said.
Rong Zhao looked at the seriousness in his eyes, knowing that this man had the stubborn and unambiguous character of the Naxi tribe in his bones, but he didn't want to just agree to him, because he said: "All the things will be talked about when we get to Honghe Town." ”
"Okay, I'll go to Honghe Town and wait for my son." Sheng Qiong said.
Rong Zhao watched him change his previous rebelliousness and become respectful, and sighed silently in his heart.
"Childe, there is another person who was caught by us with General Sheng, this person is a eunuch, he ran to the mountain with our gold and silver at that time, and at this time he still wants to collect money must be a traitor!" Mei Ruo gritted her teeth and said.
When Rong Zhao heard this, he smiled angrily: "Very good, I actually caught it alive!" ”
……
After an overnight check, Chen Cunxiao and Rong Shuo each handed in a list, and Rong Yue took a cursory look at it and handed it to Rong Zhao. Rong Zhao read it twice seriously, and then carefully folded the two lists and kicked them into his arms.
"One hundred and sixty-five of the four hundred dragon guards were killed, forty-nine were seriously wounded, and twelve were missing. Although the rest can move, they basically can't protect their mothers. Twelve eunuchs and palace maids, except for two eunuchs who couldn't find the corpses, six were still alive......" Seeing this, Chen Cunxiao was a little busy in his heart, so he turned his head and asked Rong Shuo: "Master Hou, what should we do next?" ”
"Those corpses, some family members asked their families to take them back and distribute silver taels for burial, and if the family members are not in Xiliang, they will be cremated and bring their ashes back. The injured will be taken back to Xiliang City by Ben Hou to recuperate, and the absconding Ben Hou will send someone to arrest him. In addition, this matter of protection is very important, for the sake of my father, no one else can be trusted, so let your eldest brother escort the two of you with the people of the hussar camp. Rong Shuo sighed.
"Brother's hussar battalion is the elite main force of Xiliang City, is it overkill to escort us into Beijing?" Rong Zhao said, turning his head to look at Rong Yue.
Rong Yue nodded and said: "Indeed, I also think that at the beginning of the peace of Western Xinjiang, the garrison of Xiliang is inseparable from my brother and his hussar battalion. ”
Rong Shuo waved his hand: "It is imperative, nothing can compare with the safety of Concubine Yue." In addition, if something like this happens, the emperor can't hide it. I am responsible for the garrison of Western Xinjiang, and I can't leave at will without a holy decree, so Rong Hui will go to Beijing for Ben Hou to go to the emperor to ask for guilt. ”
"With the escort of the eldest prince and the hussar battalion, the mother can be regarded as safe on the way to Beijing." Chen Cunxiao was afraid that Rong Yue would resign, what is more important now than Concubine Yue's safety? If you come out like this again, your old life will be explained.
Rong Yue smiled helplessly, and glanced at Rong Zhao, who bowed his head and was silent, knowing that only by tying his own safety to Rong Hui could he make those people jealous, so he said slowly: "Since Gonggong Chen also said so, then there is Brother Lao." It's just that how happened to the little eunuch that Zhao'er brought back last night? ”
"Don't worry, the old slave is not a vegetarian!" Chen Cunxiao said, his face suddenly showed indignation, and continued, "That kid asked the old slave about the dog raised by the prince a few days ago, it seems that it was premeditated!" It's just that the old slave is confused, and he has been deceived for many days! This time, the old slave will definitely use the means to make him spit out everything he knows. ”
Rong Yue smiled faintly and said, "I won't worry about this." It's just that I kindly remind you that even if you can fool us, it will be difficult to fool Your Majesty. ”
"Slaves understand! Please rest assured. Chen Cunxiao hurriedly bowed and answered.
"Alright! I have been scared for several days, and I have really suffered a crime, so we still have to hurry. My father has been working hard these days, so let's go back to Xiliang immediately after taking care of these things, and my mother doesn't know what to worry about. Rong Yue sighed leisurely.
"Please don't worry, I've arranged for someone to go back to Xiliang to report safety, and I have prepared some dishes at home to bring with you." Rong Shuo added.
Rong Yue then remembered that in addition to the more than 1,000 guards who had damaged Yan zhòng, they had also lost a lot of property, and remembered the silver ticket that her mother had prepared for herself with the jewelry at the bottom of the box, and at this time she felt that her mother, who was sick and weak, was really prescient, so she smiled slightly bitterly: "Father is bothered." ”
Packed up the mess and regrouped, escorted by Rong Hui's hussar camp in front and back, Concubine Yue's convoy continued to move forward.
In the carriage, Rong Zhao was still drowsy wrapped in a fox skin blanket and leaning on a soft pillow, Rong Yue was worried about Lu Yun's body, so he instructed Mei Ruo: "You better go to the carriage behind, I am worried that this cold day and the bumps in the carriage and horses, Lu Yun's injuries will be aggravated." ”
Mei Ruo agreed, went out and told the carriage to stop, got out of the car and went to the back to take care of the green clouds. Rong Yue got up and came to Rong Zhao's side, and squeezed under a fox fur blanket with him to keep warm and talk about some gossip.
