Chapter 472: 20,000 soldiers
As soon as Zuo Tingyu and Chang Moushi left, Liu Rong was left alone in the house.
Liu Rong didn't get up immediately, she was still sitting on the chair, slowly tapping on the table made of fruit trees beside her, there was still not enough manpower, if it was in the capital, today's layout should be more perfect, if Centurion Tang came back, it would be fine.
I don't know what the situation in the capital of Ludao is now, how is the Liu Zhong family? Could Starling not see her for so long that he won't recognize her when she goes back again?
The county lord of Yongcheng should go to accompany Liu Zhong's from time to time, looking at the rare starling temperament of the county lord of Yongcheng, it must be like this, with the county lord of Yongcheng to help take care of Liu Zhong's family, and when Zuo Tingyu escorts Dong'er back to the capital, Dong'er guards Liu Zhong's family, she will be able to feel more at ease.
These short days are really busy, thinking like this, Liu Rong couldn't help but feel a little tired, and couldn't help but close her eyes, and after a while, there was an even sound of breathing.
Not long after Liu Rong fell asleep, Dong'er rushed into the house, and when she saw Liu Rong asleep, still frowning tightly, and didn't know what Lu Dao was worried about, her heart was sour in an instant, and she wanted to say what she wanted to say, but she couldn't seem to say it anymore, so she could only look at her young lady quietly.
After a while, Dong'er wiped the corners of her eyes and found a blanket to cover Liu Rong, but after covering the blanket, the expression in her eyes was fixed, and she seemed to have finally decided something and left the house.
As soon as Dong'er arrived outside the house, he saw Ergou and Zhen'er waiting, and when he saw her come out, he stepped forward: "Miss Dong'er, what did my master say, are you willing to leave us behind?" We'll be sure to be well-behaved. Ergou knows how to heal, and he will definitely be able to help the master. ”
"That's it, at first glance, the master is a powerful one, why do you want to send me back, I'm here to protect Rong'er, isn't it? Without my protection, Rong'er would definitely not be able to. Pillow looked at Dong'er stinky and said, just a pair of eyes looking at Dong'er was extremely worried, worried that Dong'er didn't convince Liu Rong, worried that she really had to leave here and go back to the capital.
"Let's go back to the capital in a good way. Don't let Lord Zuo send it. Let's just let Lord Zuo pick some good people to escort us back to the capital. Dong'er didn't answer the words of the two children, but just watched the two children speak slowly.
Ergou and Zhu'er glanced at each other, and their eyes showed a depression: "Yes, is the master unwilling to keep us?" I swear I'll never cause any trouble for my master......"
didn't wait for Ergou to say what he could do to help. Dong'er had already shook her head: "I didn't say it." When I went in. The young lady was already asleep, sitting in a chair and falling asleep, and when she fell asleep, she frowned and didn't know what she was worried about. ”
"I didn't dare to wake up Miss. The young lady was obviously very tired, and maybe she hadn't rested well during this time. "Yes, a person has been supporting all the overall situation, and he is a woman, how can he not be tired.
As a maid, she can't share the pressure on Miss, so do you have to take two children with her, make Miss embarrassed, and let Miss continue to worry about the safety of the two children?
"The capital actually needs us too." Dong'er turned her head and wiped the sourness from her eyes: "Actually, the capital also needs us too, Miss has always been relieved of Mrs. and Starling, we just went back to take care of Mrs. and Starling for Miss, so we can let Miss worry less, so let's go back to Beijing by ourselves." Dong'er took a deep breath and looked at the two children and said.
Ergou and Zhu'er listened to Dong'er's words, but they were silent, for a while, Zhu'er suddenly left Dong'er and ran to Liu Rong's room, Dong'er followed up in the house worriedly, worried that Pillow would wake Liu Rong up, and hurriedly followed up, as soon as he entered, he saw Pillow standing next to Liu Rong who was squinting with his arms squinted.
Dong'er wanted to open her mouth to remind Pillow, but when she saw Pillow Er look at her young lady for a while, she quickly turned around and left, and when she went outside, she nodded to Dong'er and agreed with Dong'er's decision.
Ergou couldn't help but be surprised: "Didn't you always want to stay here?" Don't you want me to help the master together? ”
"I'm not strong enough to help Rong'er now."
Zhu'er didn't continue the previous topic, but looked at Ergou and immediately spoke: "Okay, let's go together, just go back to the capital together, and let you learn some other things with me when the time comes." ”
"I have a lot of masters in the capital, it just so happens that we will learn more things together, and when the time comes, we will not be children at that time, so we don't have to watch from behind her back......" Pillow's voice became smaller and smaller, and he almost couldn't hear it after the most talking, but after speaking, Pillow Er dragged Ergou who was still puzzled about his change and left quickly, to Dong'er's surprise, Pillow Er actually took the initiative to go to Zuo Tingyu directly to discuss the matter of returning to Beijing.
Liu Rong only felt that her hands were sour, and her eyes couldn't help but open, only to find that she was squinting in the room where she was discussing, and couldn't help but shake her head, there was too little time for this physical exercise, and her spirit was so tense that she was tired like this.
There is a tough battle to fight next, but it can't be like this all the time, but before that, I have to go to see Dong'er, Pillow and Ergou, this Zuo Tingyu should be ready, Yidong'er must accompany her to face the dangerous character, I'm afraid she will have to persuade her personally, not to mention Pillow, Ergou wants to put up the master's shelf, it should be fine.
Liu Rong thought about standing up and walking out, as soon as she walked out of the house, she saw that everyone was busy, although she was still in a tense state, but seeing everyone working hard with her, Liu Rong couldn't help but be slightly moved.
Soon, Liu Rong went to the place where Dong'er and a few people lived, but when she walked in, she was stunned, the house was empty, Liu Rong couldn't help but drag the Qingfeng Village aunt who was busy going back and forth on the side to ask, and when she asked, she realized that when she was asleep, Dong'er actually took the initiative to take the pillow and the second dog away.
"I don't know why Miss Dong'er changed her mind, she went to see you, the princess, and took the young master of Zhen'er and the second dog away, and the young master of Zhen'er was also very well-behaved this time, he didn't say anything, and took the initiative to ask only to pick someone to lead the team away, and he wanted Lord Zuo to stay." The aunt said to Liu Rong.
"The young master of the pillow is also a lovely person, at such a young age, he actually wants to lead the team back to Beijing by himself, and the most rear-miss Lord Zuo doesn't know what Lu Dao is really supposed to do, I just hope that the road will be stable ...... the way."
Liu Rong was stunned, Dong'er and his party had just come? They came to beg her to let them stay, and when she was asleep, they asked to leave, was this because she was worried that she would worry about them?
The tip of Liu Rong's nose was slightly sour, nodded at the aunt of Qingfeng Village, and turned to leave.
Back in her own house, Liu Rong began to ask people to bring all the collected news to her, fortunately, there were spies controlled by Lingyu and Dong Huwei to collect news, plus her secret guards who stayed in Lin'an, the news of the entire Jiangnan was still sufficient.
It's just that the more Liu Rong looks at it, the deeper her brows become, the news from Lingyu and Dong Huwei is okay, but the news that the secret guard got from Madam Huang made Liu Rong frown and couldn't help frowning: "The Third Emperor has so many troops." ”
I saw Liu Rong grasp slightly, and some of Fan's crumpled pieces of paper said that the Third Emperor controlled at least 20,000 soldiers in his hands in addition to the cottage he had subdued.
This hit Liu Rong's biggest weakness at once, and there was no military backing, that is to say, if the Third Emperor did not immediately put up the banner and immediately advance to the north, it was okay, if they rebelled immediately, Liu Rong and they would be in trouble.
Liu Rong thought about it, so she asked people to prepare pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and write a few notes for people to send out.
Even so, Liu Rong's brows were still deeply furrowed, thinking about the follow-up, could it really only be possible to pave the favorable environment for them first, and wait for the army led by the prince to arrive here?
But when will the prince's army arrive? How long will they be able to climb the board?
On the way from the capital to Jiangnan, a long army marched forward.
Centurion Tang followed the procession, only to see that he couldn't help but cover his forehead to block the dazzling sunlight.
I don't know what the situation of Princess Lu Daorong is now, Princess Rong is too, putting herself in the most dangerous environment, it is possible that something may happen at any time, I just hope that when he rushes back, Princess Rong will be fine.
Thinking so, Centurion Tang quickened his pace again.
Although he also wanted to hurry back, but the distance between the capital and Lin'an is far away after all, and it naturally takes time to go back and forth this time, and it is already a very good thing to return to Jiangnan with the prince and his party immediately, even so, it will take seven or eight days for them to get to Qingfeng Village.
I just hope that it will be sooner, he is not worried about Princess Rong.
There are two people who are as anxious as Centurion Tang, a prince and a county lord of Yongcheng.
Yes, the county lord of Yongcheng, the county lord of Yongcheng also followed the army to Jiangnan this time, after knowing the situation of Liu Rong, she couldn't help but plan to leave the capital, or Zuo Tingxuan persuaded her to follow the prince to leave the capital.
was able to win this because she and Zuo Tingxuan helped the prince persuade the saint to allow the prince to personally lead the team to leave the capital.
It's just that the faces of the county lord and the crown prince of Yongcheng are not very good-looking, and there is only one reason why they are not good-looking, that is, some people in the team they brought are infected with the plague.
However, because they were too worried about Liu Rong and left in too haste, they did not bring a doctor who specialized in treating the plague, but the ordinary military doctors did not know how to guard against the plague, and as a result, a large number of soldiers fell ill, so their footsteps to Jiangnan were delayed.
Today's situation, but it would be better to arrive at Lin'an Mansion a day earlier, after all, while the Three Emperors have not yet made the flag clear to Lin'an Mansion, they may be able to help Liu Rong, but once the Three Emperors' banner is clear, Liu Rong will be in danger, not only Liu Rong is dangerous, but Daxia is also dangerous.
The prince gritted his teeth, and in order to get to Lin'an Mansion as soon as possible, he finally decided to leave the sick soldiers behind, and leave the doctor to treat these soldiers, so that the military strength of the prince's army was half weaker in an instant.
Even if they continued to move forward like this, the prince and his party were not comfortable, because everyone did not know if anyone would continue to get sick if they continued to walk on the road. (To be continued......)
