The Tsar said unhappily: "The Emperor doesn't know where you heard this rumor, but the Emperor doesn't need to lie to you. Okay, hurry back, and then let your emperor of the Qing Dynasty withdraw his troops! ”

Hearing this, Hongli already understood that this matter was strange, and immediately left according to his words, Buddha Biao had been waiting at the border, saw him come out, and hurriedly greeted him and said: "Lord, how is the matter, did the tsar agree not to fight, and what about Hongshi, where are the others?" ”

"Let's talk about it when we go back to camp." After saying a word in a hurry, Hongli strode away, followed by Buddha Biao, and waited until he returned to the camp before Hongli recounted the conversation between him and the Tsar.

Buddha Biao frowned when he heard this, shook his head and said: "I'm afraid that the tsar's words are untrue, and the news that the emperor got should not be false." ”

"This king has carefully observed the words and deeds of the tsar, it does not seem to be a lie, and when this king passed, the Russian troops were evacuated, and it did not look like he was going to fight at all, so this king felt that what the tsar said should be true."

Buddha Biao was stunned for a while before he said: "In this way, isn't the emperor's news...... Wrong? ”

"It should be." Hongli said with a solemn expression: "Where did this news come from, the general should also know, this king can't understand, why did she tell such a lie, and what good did it do her?" ”

Buddha Biao knew that the "she" in Hongli's mouth meant the Nala clan, thought for a long time, shook his head and said: "This subordinate can't guess it, except for letting the army run back and forth empty, consuming some grain and grass, it will not affect anything else at all, maybe ...... Is she here to vent her anger? ”

In this regard, Hongli didn't say anything, and instead said: "Since Hongshi is not in Tsarist Russia, where can he be?" Huang Ama sent a sea fishing document for four years, and he has not been found anyone, where is it, is it in the Qing Dynasty or in the ......" Speaking of this, he suddenly shook his whole body and remembered something, and this incident made his face extremely uncomfortable in an instant.

Buddha Biao noticed the change in his expression, and hurriedly said, "Lord Wang, what's wrong?" ”

Hongli gritted his teeth and said: "In order to force the palace, Hongshi once fornicated with Zhungar and leaked the army's marching route and marching map. If he wants to take refuge with someone in order to avoid pursuit, it shouldn't be Tsarist Russia, it should be Junggar! Fooled, we're all fooled! ”

Hearing this, Buddha Biao's face also changed, "Is the prince saying that it is not Tsarist Russia but Junggar who will really attack my Qing Dynasty?" ”

"Nine times out of ten!" Hongli said hatefully: "The Nala clan must have said this on purpose, so as to lead the troops here, so that when Junggar attacked, it would be difficult to resist because of the haste and lack of troops, and he would have vicious intentions." ”

The Buddha Biao said in embarrassment: "Lord, what should I do now, without the emperor's holy decree and military talismans, the lower officials cannot leave here with troops without authorization." Although he had a heavy army, he also had many restrictions, the most severe of which was not to leave the garrison without permission.

"This king understands, and the speed of the army is not fast, it will take at least a month to return to Beijing, and then go to the border with Junggar, it will take even longer, it is too late at all, and you have to gather additional troops." In fact, the Qing Dynasty can gather far more than these 200,000 troops, but it takes time for the army to assemble, and what they lack most now is time, no one knows when Junggar will move his troops, maybe a month later, or maybe a day later.

Hongli said in a deep voice: "This king will go back to Beijing now to report this matter to the emperor, and you will stay here first, and after the holy decree is issued, you will immediately march back to help." ”

"Xia Guan understands!" Buddha Biao agreed: "The horses that the prince rode are already at the end of the crossbow and can no longer gallop, so the lower official will let people prepare the horses again." ”

"Good!" Hongli responded succinctly, the Buddha mark moved quickly, and in less than half an hour, they had enough horses they needed, Hongli didn't say anything, and quickly got on the horse and rushed to the capital.

Along the way, he tried his best to urge the horses to gallop, these horses are the best horses in a thousand miles, but he still can't stand Hongli's urging like this, and after barely reaching the post station, he foams at the mouth and falls to the ground.

The secret agent said: "Lord, these horses can't be ridden, fortunately this is a post station, there should be a lot of horses." And you haven't eaten for a day and a night, eat something and then go. ”

Hongli nodded, although he was in a hurry to pass the matter back, but he had been galloping like this without eating, and before he arrived in the capital, he himself had already fallen first.

When he entered the inside, he didn't see anyone, and the secret agent immediately scolded: "Yicheng! Yicheng! ”

With his words, a figure hurriedly ran out of it, and said with a little trepidation: "I am the post man here, you ......"

Before he could finish speaking, the secret agent took out the token, and Yi Cheng knew this, and his expression became more and more frightened, "I don't know if you are here to deliver letters or ......."

The secret agent said straightforwardly: "Our horses are all broken, you immediately prepare the horses according to the number of people, and in addition, bring some food." ”

"Yes, yes, let's do it." Yi Cheng hurriedly agreed, and after welcoming Hongli and them inside, a post guard came up with beef, steamed buns, etc., and the same as the Yi Cheng just now, he was also terrified, thinking that he was afraid of Hongli's identity.

At the same time, the absent-minded Hongli also picked up a steamed bun and was about to eat it, when his foot was kicked and he looked up, only to see that the secret agent was looking at him, and those secret agents, obviously hungry for a day, did not move chopsticks much, even if there were occasional chopsticks, they were quickly stopped by the secret agents next to him.

Seeing this scene, Hongli understood that the things in his hand were only afraid that there was a problem and he couldn't eat them, so he immediately put down the steamed bun and called the post guard who was shrinking in the corner and said, "Are you two here?" ”

"No, there are seven of them." As soon as the post guard's voice fell, Hongli said again: "What about the other five, where did they go?" ”

The post man's body trembled obviously, and said: "Back to this uncle, the five of them have gone out for something, and now there are only two villains in the post station." ”

"It's such a coincidence that all five of them are out?" In the face of Hongli's question, the post man nodded with a dodgy gaze, and at the same time, the post man who had just gone out came over and said, "Qi Qi several adults, the horses are ready, you can set off at any time." ”

Hongli was a little surprised and said, "There are more than 20 of us here, do you have so many horses?" ”

"If you go back to your lordship, our post station has always been equipped with many horses, so the twenty or so can barely be scraped together, and they are tied in the back stable, if you don't believe it, you can go and have a look. You eat more, if it's not enough, the villain will take it again. When Yicheng bent over, Hongli inadvertently saw a string of red on the surface of his feet, like blood splashing up, he nodded quietly, and said to the secret agent: "You go and take a look, don't wait for a while." ”
