In the side hall, Xia Zhen still had a bandage on his head, and his right hand was still on his chest, looking as embarrassed as he was. He waited anxiously for Shi Miyuan, and when he saw Shi Miyuan coming to the door of the side hall, he immediately knelt in front of Shi Miyuan and cried loudly: "Xiangye, the big thing is not good!" ”

Shi Miyuan looked at Xia Zhen in front of him and was stunned: "Why is General Xia so embarrassed?" ”

Xia Zhen heard Shi Miyuan ask himself, and immediately said to him with a cry: "Prime Minister, I am here to ask for help from my lord this time. ”

After Shi Miyuan heard what he said, his brain turned, and he immediately said excitedly: "Could it be that this thing failed?" ”

Xia Zhen thought for a while and said to Shi Miyuan: "Prime Minister, this time, it is not a failure to say that it is a failure. It's just that he lost the battle with a low position. ”

Shi Miyuan hurriedly asked, "What the hell is going on?" Let's not be honest yet! ”

Xia Zhen knelt on the ground, lowered his head and slowly talked about the reason for the incident: "The matter is like this, Lord Prime Minister, I originally took 20,000 soldiers of the Linjiang Army to join Boss Pan's troops, and I have already killed Zhao Yun's entire family. When I came back, when I attacked Yangjiazhuang, Boss Pan and other brothers rebelled in front of the battle, and I killed Boss Pan and other brothers by the will of the prime minister. But at this moment, more than 50,000 well-equipped troops came out of nowhere and suddenly launched an attack on me. Prime Minister, think about it, I'm only 20,000 people. In an instant, I was beaten and the three hundred people escaped back. Who would have thought that I took 50,000 Jizhou garrisons to attack this gang of thieves, but this time the thieves did not know that more than 100,000 people were dispatched from there, and I was defeated, I had no choice but to return to Jizhou, and wanted to discuss with Jia Zhizhou, who knew that within two days, the thief army took advantage of the small number of troops in the city to capture Jizhou. Jia Zhizhou was captured, and only I escaped from Jizhou City, which was occupied by the thieves, with a few people. ”

Shi Miyuan listened and listened to the color on his face becoming whiter and whiter, and finally heard that Jia Yiren was captured, and his face turned even blue. hurriedly walked in front of Xia Zhen and scolded loudly: "Waste, you are simply a waste." Didn't I tell you a long time ago that I would meet with the 50,000 horses in Jizhou, and then go to Boss Pan and the others? Tell me, where have you heard? In the end, you lost Jizhou to me, and if you lost it, you lost it, and you also let Jia Yiren be captured. Do you know how serious the consequences are? ”

Xia Zhen didn't understand how serious it could be for a Zhizhou to be captured, but now was the time to ask Shi Xiangye. He didn't dare to contradict him at all, so he could only listen to Shi Miyuan's reprimand with his head down.

At this time, Shi Miyuan's anger was also finished, and he looked at Xia Zhen, who was extremely embarrassed in front of him, shook his head and asked, "Do you see where the troops are?" ”

Xia Zhen hurriedly said: "I saw a Vermilion Bird embroidered on the flag of this army, and I heard the leader of the bandits calling himself the Vermilion Bird Army. ”

"Did you hear the bandit leader say it himself?" Shi Mi looked at Xia Zhen from afar and asked.

Xia Zhen raised his head and agreed: "Yes! The bandit leader said it when he was engaged with me. ”

Shi Miyuan nodded, thought about it carefully, and asked, "He didn't say why he attacked you?" ”

Xia Zhen thought for a long time before he thought: "By the way, he seems to say that he is some young master of Yangjiazhuang." ”

Shi Miyuan's eyes lit up instantly: "Did he really say that?" ”

"Yes!" Xia Zhen replied affirmatively this time.

Shi Miyuan showed a long-lost smile at this time, and said repeatedly: "This time, I see how the Queen Mother still listens to the government." But as soon as he said this, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and he scolded Xia Zhen again: "You waste, why did you throw Jizhou away for me." Ay! When he scolded this, he walked to the door and looked at the sky and said to himself: "Jia Yiren, Jia Yiren, I hope you had better be killed." ”

But things often backfire, just when Shi Miyuan sighed. The housekeeper hurriedly ran to Shi Miyuan, knelt on the ground with a puff, and said loudly to Shi Miyuan: "Master, it's not good!" ”

Shi Miyuan didn't know what bad luck he had taken today, and he heard this big thing when he got up until now. He asked the butler angrily, "Why are you so alarmed, and what kind of system is it?" ”

The housekeeper raised his head in a sweat and said to Shi Miyuan, "Master, it's really a big deal. ”

"Speak!" Shi Miyuan said upset.

"Master, when the little one went outside this morning to buy what he needed in the house, he heard people all over the city talking about it." The butler swallowed his saliva as he said this.

Shi Miyuan hurriedly said: "What are you talking about? Say it! ”

The butler gasped and continued: "The people in the whole city are saying that the emperor who came to you to help him on the throne is fake, and they also say that you planned it at this time. And said that in order to cover up the secret of the fake emperor, you deliberately planned to kill Zhao Hong. ”

Shi Miyuan was stunned when he heard this, and Shi Miyuan, who had come back to his senses for a long time, hurriedly asked, "Where did these news come from?" ”

The butler hurriedly replied: "Master, these news appeared on the notices in the streets and alleys early this morning. When I heard this, I hurriedly looked for people to look for these notices, and I tore down the notices all over the city. As he spoke, the butler took out a crumpled notice from his bosom and handed it to Shi Miyuan.

Shi Miyuan took it and looked at the things written on the notice carefully, it didn't matter if he didn't look at it, he suddenly scared Shi Miyuan to sit on the ground, and the notice was full of some of the letters he wrote to Jia Yiren in a certain year and month.

Xia Zhen didn't dare to stand up at this time, but just turned his head and watched Shi Miyuan sitting on the ground. There were countless reveries in my heart.

The housekeeper hurriedly stood up and helped Shi Miyuan up, and called out to him: "Master! Master! What's wrong with you? ”

Shi Miyuan finally came to his senses at the call of the housekeeper and immediately tore up the notice in his hand. scolded loudly: "How can this be justified! It just doesn't make sense. Don't these people know that slandering the royal family is to kill their heads? Shi Mi scolded as he sat down on a chair in the pavilion. At this time, he said to Xia Zhen again: "General Xia, get up quickly!" After speaking, he said to the butler: "Butler, go quickly, make tea for General Xia." ”

Xia Zhen was even more suspicious in his heart, and at this moment, Shi Miyuan said to him with a smile: "General Xia, I know about you, and I will wrap it up on me." ”

Xia Zhen hadn't begged him yet, Shi Miyuan, he actually agreed so readily. Xia Zhen immediately thought of something in his heart, and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you Shi Xiang, Xia is very grateful." However, Xia secretly ran back this time, what should I do later. But you have to give a story or two. ”

Shi Miyuan is now responsive to Xia Zhen's requests, and promised with a smile: "That's a certainty, there is a true appearance in front, General Xia, you can rest assured that you are recuperating at home." ”

After Xia Zhen thanked him again, he limped away. Shi Miyuan hurriedly instructed the housekeeper to arrive: "Hurry up and prepare a sedan chair for me, I want to go to the palace." ”
