Chapter Ninety-Nine: Out of Beijing

In the square in front of the Qianqing Gate, there are more than 10 large cars parked, and nearly 100 brocade clothes and guards are waiting around and ready to go.

Chunxiang and Jiang Quan were also on the side, and when they saw Chang Yu coming over, they hurriedly greeted him.

Chang Yu raised his eyebrows: "Don't you say twenty cars......"

"The rest of the forage and miscellaneous vehicles are waiting at the Imperial Horse Supervisor's side, these are silver carts," Wu Mengming explained.

Chang Yu sighed, and was about to say to leave, but suddenly felt that someone was watching him, and he raised his head suddenly, but he saw that above the city tower, a lonely figure with gray hair was watching him from afar, but it was Chongzhen.

Bowing down, Chang Yu bowed deeply to the city tower, and the rest of the people on the side also found Chongzhen's figure, and hurriedly followed Chang Yu to salute.

Looking up again, the lonely figure had gone, Chang Yu looked at the towering city and sighed slightly, turned around and ordered the convoy to set off.

At this moment, the Qianqing door opened, and a figure ran over, but it was Zhu Cihong, who looked like he had just gotten up for a long time.

"I thought you weren't coming," Chang Yu hurriedly greeted him.

"How could it be" Zhu Cihong's eyes were a little red and swollen: "I slept late last night, and I didn't want you to leave so early."

Chang Yu smiled silently, looked at Zhu Cihong and patted him on the shoulder, this move made the eyes of the rest of the people almost pop out, although this is the most ordinary gesture to show kindness in the later life, but at the moment it is disrespectful for the two of them.

But Zhu Cihong didn't care at all, and patted Chang Yu heavily: "Have a good trip"

"Inevitably!" Chang Yu smiled: "I also wish you a lot of money, come back and invite me to drink."

As soon as it came to money, Zhu Cihong immediately danced with his eyebrows: "Enough to drink, do you know, I made another 40,000 taels last night."

Seeing his excitement, Chang Yu couldn't help but pour cold water: "Business is getting worse."

"No way, the rats are all good at learning, you old cat is still not playing" Zhu Cihong didn't think about it and still smiled, he was quite content with tens of thousands of taels a night, but he also knew that with the passage of time, these nobles slowly reacted, and there were fewer fools.

"Then put heavy bait," Chang Yu said with a smile.

"So I found a reason, and in the past two days, I have set up a stage in the thousand-step corridor outside the Chengtian Gate," Zhu Cihong said with a smile.

Chang Yu stroked his palm: "There are many yamen over there, and the ministers are bored at work, well, business must be good!" ”

Zhu Cihong smiled, then put away his smile again, and looked at Chang Yu with a sincere face: "Remember what I said, you can ignore the rest, just come back safely"

Chang Yu looked at it and nodded slightly, then hugged his fists heavily, and turned to leave.

Zhu Cihong watched him go away, and at this time, a ray of morning sun rose and hung on the Donghua Gate.

Outside Bei'an Gate, twenty carts lined up in a line, three hundred brocade guards, three hundred guards of the government army, three hundred Tengxiang four guards and three hundred eunuchs wearing helmets and armor immediately, majestic and extraordinary.

Although the weather is cold, it does not reach the momentum of the team, looking at these 1,500 elite soldiers, Chang Yu has a pride in his chest and wants to rush out of the sky, one day he will lead his troops to fight on the battlefield and kill all sides, not just be a dart.

"Let's go" Chang Yu shouted and jumped into the carriage, as the commander of this team, he and Wu Mengming naturally did not have to brave the cold wind to drive the horses, they each had a special car, and his coachman was the eunuch Fang San.

The ultimate goal of Chang Yu's trip is Taiyuan, which is southwest of Beijing, in fact, you only need to go south from the capital, take Baoding, Shijiazhuang, and Yangquan to Taiyuan.

But what worries him is that he has to go to Xuandatong to send silver first, otherwise he can't move troops over there, so he has to go northwest from the capital to Changping to Xuanhua and then go south to Datong to Taiyuan, a whole big detour, but there is no way, the situation is so fucked up now, there is no money to move troops!

Historical records, the thieves broke Pingyang Mansion on the 23rd of January, besieged Taiyuan Mansion on February 6, and broke the city two days later, that is to say, it took thirteen days to rest from Pingyang Mansion to Taiyuan thieves, and probably because Chang Yu's little butterfly had some effect, Pingyang Mansion was broken two days in advance, but Chang Yu was also delayed for two days in the capital, and now he was left with thirteen days of freedom, and he had to send silver to Xuanda in these thirteen days, and then transfer troops to Taiyuan to defend.

In fact, after Pingyang Mansion was breached, Chongzhen had already issued an order to transfer Xuan's troops to Taiyuan for defense, but the deployment of troops was not a journey that was said to go, mobilization, grain and grass, silver and so on, fast three or five days, slow six or seven days, this is still the premise that the grain, grass and silver are in place.

Therefore, Chang Yu believes that Xuanda's troops are now in ink, whether it is delayed due to preparation or deliberately delayed because of insufficient food, it is always impossible to go so refreshingly, and it is very likely that he is waiting for his silver to arrive.

So he has to be fast!

This is also the reason why he is all cavalry, and he has to travel day and night, if he doesn't know the future, he can stay up slowly, but he clearly knows that there are only ten days, who can calm down, although at this time there are only three people who know that the thief army will besiege Taiyuan in thirteen days!

Three hundred Teng Xiang four guards take the lead, the eunuch army and the Jinyi guard are in the center to guard the silver car, and the palace army is behind the front guard, so the queue is not Chang Yu's idea, but the result of the discussion of the leaders of the guards, the reason why Teng Xiang left and right guards should be the first to open the way, is because this team has actual combat experience, out of Beijing, has suppressed thieves, and the others are Xiaobai, although Jinyi Wei is awesome, but his field of expertise is to collect intelligence, arrest and pursuit, interrogation and torture, of course, there is no shortage of good hands in the Jinyi Guard.

Out of Desheng Gate to the northeast is a road leading to Changping, said that the avenue can not be compared with the highway of later generations, but the relative general rural road is already wide and flat.

There is no scenery along the way, because of the snow the day before yesterday, the road is lined with residual snow, endless fields, and occasionally see a mixed forest village with a dilapidated appearance in winter.

Chang Yu and Wu Mengming's carriage followed the silver car side by side, the car was modified, can sit or lie down, sheltered from the wind and rain and comfortable, Chunxiang and a few henchmen and eunuchs rode horses to serve him, almost all the henchmen in the palace were brought out, and the only one left was Lao Hu.

Lao Hu also wanted to come out with him, saying that he hadn't been out of Beijing for decades, and the world was so big that he wanted to go out to see, and he was rejected by Chang Yu for a long journey, after all, he was not young, but more importantly, Pan Jiayao's house must have a henchman sitting there, so Lao Hu has now been transferred there as a housekeeper, otherwise it would not be Fang San's turn to drive Chang Yu.

Wu Mengming lifted the curtain of the car, his eyes kept glancing at the surrounding eunuchs, one by one cotton armor helmets on his body, across the sword and back bow, the momentum was compelling, if outsiders did not believe that these people were eunuchs.

"Father-in-law Chang, one of your subordinates looks like they are spirited enough, I didn't think there were such tall people in the palace."

Hey, Chang Yu smiled slightly: "There are nearly 10,000 eunuchs in the palace, if three hundred people can't be drawn, then Lord Wu is too underestimated to wait."

"How dare you, how dare you" Wu Mengming hurriedly straightened up: "Father-in-law Chang must not mistake my intentions, I was just overwhelmed by the momentum of your subordinates for a while, look up, look up, how dare you underestimate!" "The words are exaggerated.

Chang Yu laughed: "These three hundred people are the best people selected by our family from the palace, and they have been honing day and night for the boxing competition, so I didn't want to meet this errand temporarily!" "The meaning of the words, don't think about it.

"No wonder they all look heroic and extraordinary," Wu Mengming nodded lightly.

"That's inevitable, it's not our bragging, whether it's a heads-up or a group fight, I'm afraid those brocade guards under you are not opponents" He said this deliberately loudly, and after hearing this, the surrounding eunuch army couldn't help but show a trace of arrogance on their faces.

Chang Yu just wants to give them self-confidence, let them know that they are not only not shorter than anyone else, but have the potential to crush!

"Yes" Wu Mengming was noncommittal, smiled slightly, and diverted the words: "Father-in-law Chang, let's go to Changping to rest, there is a post station there"

"There is nothing to rest in this to Changping for a hundred miles, this trip is not more than ordinary, the sooner you arrive, the better, this breath will not stop until Juyongguan!" Chang Yu said with a face.

Wu Mengming nodded, and then asked the guards around him to pass on.

"After leaving the customs, the situation is complicated, Lord Wu has to worry more" Chang Yu said again, because he knew that the world of Juyong Pass was not so peaceful, and there were bandits and bandits everywhere.

"This father-in-law Chang just rest assured, the army is out of the city, the spies go first, I sent three spies out of the city in the morning, the fastest one should now arrive in Changping, and every twenty miles there will be information delivered along the way."

"Hey, it's really Jinyiwei, capable" Chang Yu stretched out his thumb: "But after you get out of the customs, you have to report it every ten miles"

Wu Mengming praised Chang Yu very much: "There are more than 20 emperor's personal guards, each with its own specialty, but our Jinyi guard is almost omnipotent, and if you talk about collecting intelligence and tracking and arresting skills, this is the case" said and stretched out his thumb.

Chang Yu nodded in agreement, but suddenly something sounded, looked at Wu Mengming and asked, "Lord Wu, did you already know that there was such a person in our family before we met?" ”

Wu Mengming was stunned, not knowing what Chang Yu meant by this, and then nodded in response: "Chang Gonggong's name is like thunder in the inner palace, how can he not know it?"

Chang Yu smiled: "We admit this, but Lord Wu is not a person in the palace, how can he know?" ”
