With a plain face, Yingsleeve took the maid and the maid into the guest courtyard of the outer courtyard from the side door.

Although her steps were calm and measured, and the expression on her face was not in a hurry, she had already thought about it in her heart.

Since that time she subdued Shaoyan and encouraged him to come out and set up another door to develop the Cao Gang, in the past few years, she has entrusted almost all of Situfu's business to Shaoyan Freight.

Later, after Xie Dongli found out, he also entrusted a lot of freight from the Dongyuan State Government to Shaoyan's Cao Gang, so in recent years, Shaoyan's Cao Gang has developed into the largest gang on the Qingjiang River, completely replacing the previous position of the Yan Gang.

They rarely meet directly, and everything is done through the steward and the bookkeeper.

Especially after Xie Dongli took over, he didn't have to worry about it.

Unexpectedly, at this juncture, Shaoyan actually came to the capital to see her in person.

Yingsleeves walked into the upper room of the guest house and saw a few dusty men in gray standing up.

They were haggard, dark-faced, neither tall nor short, but all of them were relatively thin.

At first glance, he is a person who begs for a living on the water.

The last man in Tsing Yi to stand up had a handsome face, much younger than the few men in gray in front of him.

Yingsleeve nodded to him, "Shaoyan, long time no see, sit." ”

Shaoyan also took a closer look at Yingsleeve.

I haven't seen her for several years, this eldest lady who used to be an imperial merchant actually became the granddaughter of the emperor of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, he still remembers her previous appearance, her palm-sized face is still a little childish, and only a pair of eyes are like pearls, no one can ignore them.

Today's sleeves, face shape and body have grown a lot. It's not the same as before, but the brilliance in those bright eyes only increases.

Shaoyan arched his hand, "Mrs. Xie." Then he motioned for his men to stand guard at the door.

Yingsleeve chuckled in her heart. He was also busy with his maid and mother-in-law waiting in front of the courtyard gate.

Cai Sang looked at these gray-clothed men with some doubts, and was very worried about the safety of Yingsleeve, so he walked slowly, turning back three times in one step.

When everyone in the room went out, Ying Sleeve looked at Shaoyan and asked in a deep voice, "What happened?" ”

Shaoyan took a deep breath, and his handsome face was very sad: "Mrs. Xie." This incident is too sudden, and I don't have much evidence in my hands for the time being, but you must believe me! If you don't believe it. The consequences are beyond the reach of any of us. ”

Yingsleeve said: "As long as you make sense, I will naturally believe it." ”

"That's good." Shaoyan stood up, took out a half-burned feather arrow from the river, and said to Yingsleeve, "Mrs. Xie, please take a look." I fished it out of the gorge. ”

Yingsleeve took the feather arrow. Take a closer look. He frowned and said, "This is not the feather arrow style of our Eastern Yuan Kingdom. ”

When Xie Dongli taught her kung fu, riding and archery was also one of the things she wanted to learn, and she didn't know much about the armor and weapon standards of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, but she knew more than ordinary people.

"Because this is not the feather arrow of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom." Shao Yan's face was sad, and he began to say the beginning and the end, "A few days ago, we were carrying a shipload of goods to Beiqi. In order to go faster, we took a shortcut. Few people know about that waterway, and the mountain roads along the coast are so narrow that there are generally no people to pass by. But it was there that we ran into a large group of cavalry. ”

"Cavalry?!" Ying Sleeve was even more surprised, "Is it the Chinese army of the Marquis of Changxing?" Or the left army of the Marquis of Wanning? ”

Only these two armies have recently moved.

"Neither." Shaoyan shook his head, his tone was even heavier, and he said word by word: "It's the Northern Qi Forbidden Army!" ”

Ying Sleeve heard Shaoyan's words, but these four words didn't enter her mind for a while, she stared at Shaoyan blankly for a while, and said in a deep voice: "What did you say?" Who the hell are those cavalrymen? ”

"I said, it's the Northern Qi Forbidden Army! These are the arrows they use to destroy our mouths! Hundreds of flaming feathered arrows were fired at our ship, and all our ships were set on fire, and the cargo on board burned and wet, and all fell into the gorge. I've lost a lot on this trip, how could I laugh at such a thing! Shaoyan looked at Yingsleeve's expressionless face, and was a little anxious, "Also, we later went around to a small village behind that mountain road, and it turned out that all the people in that village, as well as chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs, were all killed!" ”

"What?!" Ying sleeves slapped the case, she came back to her senses, Shaoyan's words set off a huge wave in her mind, and she was so shocked that she almost couldn't stand, "What did you say?" The Northern Qi forbidden army came to the territory of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom to kill people?! ”

She grabbed Shao Yan's collar, "Do you know what will happen if you dare to fabricate this kind of thing?!" ”

Shaoyan pushed away the hand with the sleeve, straightened the collar, and said eagerly: "I'll make a fart!" Mrs. Xie, the Northern Qi Forbidden Army has already attacked! They bypassed the defense line of Xingzhou in the north and came directly in the direction of our capital! My guys and I didn't sleep for a day and a night before we got the news before them! ”

Yingsleeve closed his eyes, and his palms were sweaty.

She nervously pondered what had happened recently.

The 50,000 troops of the Northern Qi went south, and they learned the news and made preparations, sending the Marquis of Xing Murong Chen to Xingzhou to resist the enemy.

In order to prevent Nan Zheng from taking advantage of the situation, they also took precautions and sent Wanning Hou away.

But they never thought that there was still a strange army in the Northern Qi Dynasty, and they had quietly broken through the defense line of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, detoured along the Xiajiang River, and directly took the capital of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom!

"Do you know how many of them there are?" Yingsleeve clutched the burnt feather arrow tightly and asked in a deep voice.

This matter should be reported to Emperor Yuanhong immediately in the palace.

If the Northern Qi Forbidden Army really attacked on a large scale, their target could only be the capital of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom.

Capture the thief and capture the king first, they don't want to fight with the Eastern Yuan Kingdom for too long, obviously they want to start from the capital and deal with them directly.

But why did they attack the capital directly?

Yingsleeve's mind was chaotic, and she couldn't make up her mind for a while.

She walked around the house a few times, and finally said to Shaoyan: "You follow me into the palace and report this matter to Your Majesty." ”

Shaoyan was stunned for a moment, "I also want to enter the palace?" He tugged at his sleeve. Some hurriedly said, "No need, right? The biggest official I've ever seen is the village chief......"

Although it was at such a critical juncture, Ying Sleeve was amused by Shaoyan's words. She curled the corners of her lips and said, "It's okay, you come into the palace with me, just say what you just said to me to Your Majesty." After a pause, he persuaded again: "The matter is too urgent, and we have no other way." ”

Less salt is the answer. Enter the palace with Ying Sleeve.

Yingsleeve took his own big car, called Xiao Lei together, and went in the same car with Shaoyan.

Xiao Lei looked at the salt curiously. He looked at Ying Sleeve again, but didn't ask much.

Ying Sleeve took his hand, the road was heavy, and he soon came to the palace to see Emperor Yuan Hong.

Emperor Yuan Hong did not go to court today. Instead, he discussed with Prime Minister Shen Dacheng in the imperial study about the military arrangements in Xingzhou in the north.

I heard that Ying cuff took Xiao Lei. There was also the leader of the Cao Gang who came to see him, and he was a little surprised.

He put down the book and raised his hand: "Xuan." ”

Xiao Lei walked in front and entered the imperial study.

It is followed by puff sleeves and a little salt.

As soon as Shaoyan entered the imperial study, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Emperor Yuan Hong three times.

He didn't know who the emperor was, anyway, the only person sitting in this room must be the biggest official, and he was right to kneel.

Emperor Yuan Hong smiled and nodded, "You are Shaoyan, the gang leader of the Cao Gang?" But the teenager is promising. -- Bestow a seat. ”

Shao Yan saw that Yingsleeve and Xiao Lei both sat down. The man with the long beard beside the emperor also sat down, and then sat down with him.

It's too late to be polite. Immediately said: "Grandfather Huang, this matter is very important, so the granddaughter brought the Shaoyan gang leader of the Cao Gang into the palace and asked him to dictate it in person." As he spoke, he presented the half-burnt arrow, "Also, this is the feather arrow that the Shaoyan gang leader fished out in the Xiajiang, and they were attacked in the Xiajiang. ”

Prime Minister Shen Dacheng hurriedly took it and sent it to Emperor Yuan Hong for him to take a closer look.

Emperor Yuan Hong smiled, and silently looked at Prime Minister Shen Dacheng's hand, and the corners of his eyes jumped.

He recognized that this was the style of the Northern Qi Feather Arrow.

Emperor Yuan Hong's gaze moved to Shaoyan's face, and Sen Ran said, "What's going on?" ”

Shaoyan arched his hand and began to recount his experience on the Xiajiang River the day before yesterday.

When he talked about the slaughtered village of Dongyuan Kingdom, he couldn't help but shed tears.

Emperor Yuan Hong became angry, took the feather arrow from Prime Minister Shen Dacheng's hand, and said three times in a row: "Okay! Good! Good! ”

Prime Minister Shen Dacheng gasped and asked, "Shaoyan, is there anyone else who knows about this matter?" ”

Shaoyan said: "The brothers who ran with me all escaped death, they are waiting in the prince's mansion, you can summon them for questioning at any time!" ”

Ying Sleeve also said: "Imperial grandfather, Prime Minister Shen Dacheng, this matter is obvious, the army of the Northern Qi Kingdom going south is not only the 50,000 Northern Qi army!" They are cultivating the plank road in the open, and Chen Cang in the dark! Use 50,000 Northern Qi troops to contain the most powerful Chinese army and the Marquis of Changxing in our Eastern Yuan Kingdom, and at the same time send their forbidden army to take the capital directly! ”

Prime Minister Shen nodded and said worriedly: "It seems that this is the case." But why would they do it? ”

The 50,000 Northern Qi troops said that they wanted justice for Empress Qi Xueyun and confronted the Chinese army of Murong Chen, Marquis of Changxing, in Xingzhou in the north.

And what about this Northern Qi forbidden army?

"How many of them are there?" Emperor Yuan Hong asked in a deep voice.

If there are not many people, they can also take care of the plan, close the door and beat the dog.

Shaoyan thought for a moment, "At that time, we were on the boat, far away, and we couldn't see it very clearly. However, as a rough estimate, there should be no less than 10,000 horses. ”

10,000 Northern Qi forbidden troops!

Emperor Yuan Hong and Shen Dacheng glanced at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

There are 50,000 people in the capital and the right army of the Marquis of Tang'an, all of whom followed Xie Dongli to Daxing City to fight a tough battle, can they deal with this 10,000 Northern Qi forbidden army?

"Your Majesty, the grass people heard that the Northern Qi Forbidden Army is the elite of the Northern Qi Army, and it can be used as one for ten. We must not take this lightly. Shaoyan remembered the legend they had heard about the Northern Qi Forbidden Army in the capital of Northern Qi, and couldn't help but remind Emperor Yuan Hong.

Emperor Yuan Hong waved his hand, "I know, you go back first." He looked at Xiao Lei, "Xiao Lei, Shaoyan and they live in the Prince's Mansion, you have to entertain them well, you know?" ”

Xiao Lei hurriedly stood up and said, "I understand, my grandson must treat these strong men well." ”

When Shaoyan, Yingsleeve, and Xiaolei left, Emperor Yuanhong immediately said: "Call the leader of the Flying Fish Guard to come in and ask him, why doesn't anyone know about these things?!" ”

The Northern Qi forbidden army secretly made a detour and went straight to the capital of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, which was very unusual and did not conform to the consistent style of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

And the Flying Fish Guard of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom originally also had secret agents operating in the Northern Qi Dynasty, and within a radius of five hundred miles from the capital of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, there were also many Flying Fish Guard's spies.

This kind of major intelligence news, not a single Flying Fish Guard found out?!

Emperor Yuan Hong was very dissatisfied.

However, when the leader of the Flying Fish Guard came in, he also brought the news.

It turned out that their scouts had just discovered that the Northern Qi Forbidden Army, which had come within 500 miles of the capital, had already returned from Pegasus to report the news.

"Your Majesty, the minister has just learned the news that the 20,000 horses of the Northern Qi Forbidden Army have come from the northwest at a rapid pace. They have already picked several of our outposts and destroyed several villages! "The leader of the Flying Fish Guard is a middle-aged man in his thirties, he was just promoted by Emperor Yuan Hong this year, and he is much stronger and more obedient than the previous leader who only knew how to be loyal to the empress.

"Twenty thousand?!" Emperor Yuan Hong's heart sank.

If there are 20,000 Northern Qi forbidden troops, can they beat the 50,000 right troops of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom?

"Without further ado, hurry up and summon the five ministers and the people in the military department to come to discuss the matter, as well as Tang Anhou." Emperor Yuan Hong immediately gave an order, thought about it and said, "Old Tang Anhou should also come along." ”

Because the new Tang Anhou is too young to lead the army to fight, he has to rely on him.

Soon Vice Minister Wang, Vice Minister Xiao Zhang, Vice Minister Lu, and Xie Dongxing, who replaced Xie Dongli, also came to the palace, and the military department Shangshu, Shilang, the new Tang Anhou Tang Haifeng and the old Tang Anhou Tang Qian also rushed into the palace one after another.

Shen Dacheng told them about the traces of the Northern Qi Forbidden Army discovered by the Flying Fish Guard and the Cao Gang, and said: "The 20,000 Northern Qi Forbidden Army is not good, what do you say we should do?" ”

"What else can be done? Of course he was beaten! "Old Tang Anhou Tang Qian followed Xie Dongli to Daxing City, and that battle was hearty, which greatly inspired the military spirit of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, and also made him admire Xie Dongli so much, "Find Deputy Prime Minister Xie to come out and sit in town, you don't need him to go into battle in person, as long as you hang his handsome flag, you will definitely be able to scare those Northern Qi thieves into running away!" ”

Emperor Yuan Hong and Shen Dacheng looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Others don't know, they know, Xie Dongli is no longer in the capital of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom.

Where he went, even Yingsleeve didn't know.

Prime Minister Shen Dacheng coughed and said, "The Northern Qi Forbidden Army has come from afar, and the soldiers are tired and weak, so there is no need for Vice Minister Xie to come forward. Tang Haifeng, Tang Qian, you are in charge of the Right Army, do you have any ideas and countermeasures? ”

Tang Haifeng has been training with his father Tang Qian these days, and he has also learned a lot of tactics in the art of war. One blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion. He did his best to make money, so he restrained it. At this time, it is we who lead the troops out of the city and take the initiative to meet the attack! ”
