Chapter 240: Asking for help from the Left Protector
On the second day, when the sky was bright, Yu Jin gathered everyone to gather in the school field, and after the soldiers were over, General Zhenyuan walked over and handed Yu Jin a bowl of water and wine.
Yu Jin looked at the suddenly arrived General Zhenyuan unexpectedly, and said with a little mist in his eyes: "General Xie." ”
General Zhenyuan smiled and waved his hand, and said: "It seems that it is a life to say this, I have prepared sufficient food and grass and other military supplies for you, so you can go and do it, I wish you a successful start here." ”
As he spoke, General Zhenyuan drank all the wine in the bowl.
"Thank you, General." After Yu Jin finished speaking, she also drank the wine in the bowl.
General Zhenyuan patted Yujin on the shoulder and said, "Okay, you guys should hurry up." It's not far from Shu Road, so you should be able to get there in the evening. ”
General Zhenyuan then solemnly shouted to the soldiers below: "The generals will listen to the order, and Yu Jin will lead you in the future, you have also seen Yu Jin's ability over the years, and I believe that he will definitely lead you to win more battles." ”
"Yes, General Xie!" The soldiers below replied in unison.
Yu Jin hugged his fists with emotion and said: "General Xie has taken care of Yu Jin over the years, Yu Jin said goodbye." ”
Immediately afterwards, Yu Jin shouted loudly: "The generals will listen to the order, target Shu Dao, go!" ”
"Yes!"
After the soldiers responded, they walked out of the barracks one by one, and of course Yu Jin was at the front.
At the same time, Yuan Gang also walked half the way.
Yuan Gang leaned against a big tree, gasped and said, "I've been on the road for a day, I shouldn't be able to catch up again, let's take a break here." ”
"Yes." The Silver Guards replied in unison.
Yuan Gang sat on the ground and said humbly: "Although I am the captain of the vanguard, I don't have much experience in marching and fighting, I hope you will remind me more when the time comes." ”
"The captain is humble." The Silver Guards said in unison.
Yuan Gang shook his head with a smile, and asked curiously, "Do you have a leader in the Silver Guard?" ”
At this time, a sturdy man came over and said, "Captain Yu, Lord Shangshu has ordered me to manage the Silver Guard, my name is Yinyi."
Yuan Gang nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll tell you directly if I have anything in the future." Looking at this distance, we estimate that it will take another day to reach Shu Dao, and I don't know what the situation of Shu Dao is. This time, I brought very few things to hide people's eyes, and I don't know if it's enough. ”
Saying that, Yuan Gang looked at the full carriage, his face full of sadness.
Yinyi glanced at the carriage and said, "When we set off, Lord Shangshu said that on the second day, a large army would be sent to escort the military supplies to Shu Dao, so the captain didn't have to worry. It was no problem for us to take these top days with us, and the army would definitely have arrived by then. ”
Yuan Gang sighed and said, "Of course, there is no problem according to the normal footpath, but I am also afraid that something like yesterday will happen." ”
Yin Yi thought for a while and said, "Captain, don't worry too much, Lord Shangshu said that General Zhenyuan will send someone over, presumably he will also prepare sufficient food, grass and military supplies." The subordinates felt that it was important for us to hurry, and it was not too late to make plans after meeting with the people sent by General Zhenyuan. ”
Yuan Gang nodded, closed his eyes and said, "You talk to them, and you will leave in half an hour." ”
"Yes. The captain had a good rest, and his subordinates retired. "Yinyi hugged his fist.
Yuan Gang's worries were unreasonable, from last night until the early hours of the morning, Murong Chenyan did not wait for the man in black to appear, and anxious and worried emotions kept coming to his heart.
"No, I need to get out. Keep your courtyard guarded, and no one will come in, not even my father, and let me stand outside for me. After giving instructions to a few personal guards, Murong Chenyan disguised himself as a servant and quietly left from the backyard of the palace.
There is only one room on the fourth floor of a very inconspicuous Yuanlai teahouse in Beijing, guarded by several guards outside the room, and in the room there is a man dressed in strange clothes sitting cross-legged on a cushion, his eyes closed, but his mouth is constantly chanting.
After Murong Chenyan strode into the Yuanlai Teahouse, Xiao Er stepped forward warmly and said, "Yo, this master, what do you want to drink?" ”
Murong Chenyan showed the waist card in his hand to Xiao Er and said, "Arrange a private room for me." ”
Xiao Er smiled and said, "Okay, come with me." ”
With that, Xiao Er took Murong Chenyan to the fourth floor, and after gesturing to the guards, he quietly retreated.
Murong Chenyan stood quietly outside the room, patiently waiting for the call of the man inside.
Half an hour passed, the incense burner in the room burned out, and the man slowly opened his eyes and waved his big hand towards the door.
"Wow!"
The door opened.
One of the guards guarding outside the room said to Murong Chenyan, "Third Prince, Zuo Protector called you in. ”
Murong Chenyan nodded and strode in.
Zuo Protector glanced at the hourglass on the Duobao Pavilion and asked strangely, "Is there something urgent about you coming here at this time?" ”
Murong Chenyan said anxiously: "I asked Doro to assassinate Yuan Gang before, but I didn't expect Yuan Gang to escape; Yuan Gang is going to leave Beijing tomorrow, and tonight is the last chance, but he didn't expect that Doro hasn't come back yet. I'm a little worried about if Doro had an accident. ”
Zuo Protector frowned, and said unhappily: "I heard Doro say before that you want to replace Yuan Gang to go to Xishu, but are you really sure that once Yuan Gang is dead, the next candidate must be you?" ”
Murong Chenyan hid the tension in his eyes, and tried to maintain his composure and said: "But if Yuan Gang doesn't die, I won't have a chance at all, I must enter the court as soon as possible, so that I can cultivate my own power." Otherwise, how can I fight against King Ning and my second brother and brother Shizi in the future? They all have an advantage over me. ”
Zuo Protector said dissatisfiedly, "But it's clear that Doro was captured by them, and you still haven't made any progress. If you want to ask for my help, you will have something to offer. Look at you now that even the people I gave you have been arrested, can I still have faith in you? ”
Murong Chenyan's mind was racing fast, and he finally thought of something, and said with a smile: "Protector Zuo, it is true that I didn't do this well, but I have already done it very safely on Prince Duan's side, and I will definitely not make a mistake this time." ”
The Left Protector raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh? Tell me about it. ”
Murong Chenyan explained: "This is thanks to the Protector Zuo who gave me a few more pills, Prince Duan is now unable to leave that pill for a day, and now we have completely controlled Prince Duan."
And I have successfully bought off Prince Duan's cronies, and in a few days, Prince Duan will send someone to marry my sister Lord Changle. As my sister's county lord in the future, he will be his son, so the next Prince Duan must have fallen on my sister's child. So why worry about the prince's mansion not stopping your words. ”
Zuo Protector sneered and said: "No poison, no husband, you are willing to give up your own sister's lifelong happiness for yourself." ”
Murong Chenyan said nonchalantly: "After all, in the future, her child will become the next Duan Prince's Mansion, and she will be the most noble woman in the entire palace, and she will enjoy endless glory and wealth at that time." She should be thankful that I'm pretty much the same. ”
Zuo Dharma Protector nodded and said, "As long as you and your sister obediently listen to our Witch King, there will be a time for you to enjoy happiness." ”
Murong Chenyan happily stepped forward and said, "Thank you to the Zuo Protector, and thank the Zuo Protector for saying a few more kind words for us in front of the Witch King." ”
Zuo Dharma Protector waved his hand and said, "That's natural, I still have to stay here for a long time, just let everyone benefit each other." ”
Murong Chenyan nodded again and again: "That's, that's, I will definitely do my best to protect the Fa." So, what about the matter of Nadora? Will the Witch King be blamed? ”
The left protector rolled his eyes and said, "Do you have anything to honor the Witch King?" I'll send someone to send it to you, and by the way, I'll help you say something nice. ”
When Murong Chenyan heard this, he immediately came to his senses and said, "Of course there is, I will prepare it in the next two days, and then send it to you." ”
Greed flashed in Zuo Protector's eyes, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and he said, "Okay." ”
Murong Chenyan saw that Zuo Protector was in a good mood, and hurriedly asked, "Zuo Protector, what should I do about Yuan Gang now?" He will lead the army to Xishu tomorrow, which is a good opportunity for meritorious service. If I successfully enter the court, you will be considered to have someone in the court in the future, wouldn't it be more convenient to do things? ”
Zuo Protector, nodded, and said: "What you said is not unreasonable, you go back first, tomorrow I will send someone to kill Yuan Gang at the city gate, so that he can't even get out of the city gate." ”
Murong Chenyan said excitedly: "Then thank you Zuo Protector, I will prepare an extra gift, and I hope that Zuo Protector will not dislike it when the time comes." ”
Zuo Protector couldn't hide the smile on the corner of his mouth when he heard it, and said with a smile: "The third prince is polite, this matter will be wrapped up in me." I'll find you someone competent to help you later. ”
Murong Chenyan got up and hugged his fists and said, "Okay, thank you Zuo Protector." Then I'll take my leave first, and I'll wait for good news tomorrow. ”
"Okay." After the left protector finished speaking, with a wave of his hand, the door automatically opened again.
Murong Chenyan saluted and left.
On the second day, after a night of fierce fighting, Yuan Shangshu did not return to the palace, but continued to guard the city gate. Of course, the reason for doing this is very simple, that is, for fear that other people in black will appear to chase and kill Yuan Gang.
After a night of torture, the man in black was already dying, but Zhongyong Gong was still unable to ask anything from his mouth.
At this time, the dazzling sunlight shone in through the window of the cell, reminding the people inside that it was dawn.
The Duke looked at the sky and knew that the army was about to set out, and at last he had to leave the prison and hurry to the city gate.
Sure enough, by this time the army had already crossed the street and was about to reach the city gate.
At this time, Zhongyong Gong was no longer in a hurry, and slowly followed behind the army, cheering up his spirit, always paying attention to the movements around him.
"Loyal and brave man." A hurried voice came from not far away.
When Zhongyong Gong looked back, Admiral Jiang had already appeared in front of him.
Zhongyong Gong smiled and said, "Admiral Jiang, you lent me all the people, why did you come here in person?" Are you afraid that I will abduct your people? ”
Admiral Jiang laughed and said, "What did Zhongyong Gong say, I heard about last night's incident, so I really couldn't stay still, so I came to take a look." It turns out that you are following the army. ”
Zhongyong Gong nodded and said, "Yes, yesterday was also quite dangerous, the man in black is a person from Xishu, who can use some witchcraft." But fortunately, it wasn't particularly profound, so I cracked it and then arrested him and went to the prison. It's a pity that this person's mouth is too tight, and he refuses to speak. ”
Admiral Jiang sighed and said, "The people of Xishu are so cunning, they are really pervasive, and they even hide their people in the capital. I guess there should be their stronghold in the capital, and after today, we will have to search the capital. ”
