Chapter 43: Manchester City
On another 10th, Situ Jing rushed to Manchester City again. When he arrived at Manchester City, he chose a ready-made garden as his residence. This garden is far less magnificent than the Qin Wangfu in the capital, the whole garden is only one-sixth the size of the Qin Wangfu, and there are no female dependents in the house, Chu Yuan recruited a housekeeper for him, the housekeeper turned out to be a bookkeeper, but it turned out that the owner died in the previous war, and the family was scattered, so he had to come out again to find the owner, because he was alone, so Chu Yuan took a fancy to him. recruited a few young men and a cook who served Situ Jing's diet and daily life, these people were placed in front of Situ Jing, Situ Jing didn't say anything, and he didn't care about these things, it was up to Chu Yuan to decide. The whole person was buried in the study all day, I don't know what I was doing, the only thing I saw was that the letters were more frequent, and one would be sent out almost every two days, Chu Yuan looked at it, and the recipient was either Yun Murong or Yun Muxiang. Giving less to Yun Murong is a matter of business, but it is different for Yun Muxiang. Chu Yuan looked at the letters sent out one after another, and felt bitter for his master.
This time, the master did not have the previous spirit at all, but had a lot more worries. It stands to reason that there is nothing to worry about when the ladies of the palace are all dispersed, but Chu Yuan is very clear about the matter between His Royal Highness the King of Qin and Mu Yunqi, the eldest lady of the Mu family, from the beginning of the reunion, maybe just to get back the memories of childhood, but in the subsequent relationship, the two people are still inevitably attracted to each other, regardless of the marriage contract, regardless of identity, they can still find the meeting point between them.
The eldest lady of the Mu family is also the most suitable person for His Royal Highness he has ever seen, that woman is decisive, thoughtful, and can understand everything at a glance, although he never likes Mu Yunqi, but he knows that only such a woman can stand by His Highness's side and help him complete the great cause. It's a pity that now Miss Mu can't accompany His Highness in the name of the Protector of the Kingdom, and Chu Yuan also deeply regrets for His Highness.
On the second day after Situ Jing settled down, he took Chu Yuan to the garrison mansion in Manchester City, which is now the general dispatch of the garrisons of the six cities in the Western Regions, and only recognizes the general soldier Tiger Fu. Situ Jing took out the Tiger Talisman given by the emperor and entered the garrison palace unimpeded.
Within a few days, the commanders of the garrisons of the six cities rushed to Manchester City to listen to Situ Jing's arrangement. When several generals entered the garrison's palace, they saw that Situ Jing was ordering people to revise the map, and because Ulla had been completely occupied, the Tianfu army was like a wedge into the six divisions, which made the other five also worried.
The border of the Western Regions of Tianfu from south to north is Gudian, which is garrisoned by Huang Guozhong, the general of Zhennan; Chi Bo, garrisoned by the auxiliary general Shi Yunan; Huarong, garrisoned by the Zhenxi general Huaxi Song in Meicheng; Ula, garrisoned by the protector general Tian Mu in the city of Manchester; Xifan, by the Zhenbei general Tian Yuan stationed in Huicheng; Tubo, garrisoned in Liangcheng by the Dingguo general Mu Zhiping, he is also Mu Zhiyuan's brother. The six countries of the Western Regions are collectively referred to as the Six Departments of the Western Regions, and now they have become the Five Divisions of the Western Regions, and the six cities in Tianfu on the border are collectively referred to as the Six Cities of the Western Regions. This border defense line was still fought down by Situ Minchang, the prince of Duan, but others were exiled to the Northeast after Situ Minying ascended the throne, and finally died in Shengjing in the Northeast with poisoned wine, which made a generation of heroes fall.
Several generals have arrived at Manchester City, which shows the weight of the total soldier. As soon as he entered the door, a few people gave Situ Jing a salute and then warmed up first, these old guys who were stumbling on the border actually established deep revolutionary feelings, Situ Jing looked at a few of them talking and laughing and laughing with satisfaction, he Tianfu soldiers are not worried about not breaking the Tartars.
During the formal discussion, Situ Jing said: "The support of the generals has contributed a lot to the recovery of Ula, and after returning to Beijing, this king has written to ask for credit for you, and your entitlement should have been received." ”
Everyone smiled and nodded, and Situ Jing continued: "The defense of Ula still needs more attention from you, and I hope you can fully support the Protector General, just like supporting this king to attack **La." ”
Everyone nodded yes, Mu Zhiping is a person who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and said loudly: "Your Highness, rest assured, we are all friendships from fighting on the battlefield." ”
Situ Jing nodded trustingly, and said: "This king now knows, as for the geographical division and name change and the configuration of officials, the Protector has already written to His Majesty after returning to Beijing to make arrangements, Ula is in a special situation, this king intends to let the prince of the family come out to experience, but the Protector of the Kingdom considers that the environment of Ula is harsh, so General Hua, Ling Lang was not arranged to come to the Western Regions, please forgive me." ”
Although General Hua was a little dissatisfied, he didn't have a good seizure, but he just said: "Whoever is called the protector of the country is from a poor family, so he naturally doesn't know that the children of the family are also studious and hard-working. ”
Situ Jing smiled and said: "General Hua's words are wrong, the Protector is also a family, but he has not received preferential treatment from the family. ”
Tian Mu was puzzled: "Yun Murong is also a child of the family, could it be that it is from the Chen Concubine family?" ”
Situ Jing shook his head, "No, my mother's family is not a family. He realized that Mu Yunqi actually used his mother's surname as his pseudonym, and added a little sweetness to his heart.
After Situ Jing came out of the barracks, he went to the Azure Pavilion, and he wanted to know what the Mu family's housewife wanted Mu Yunqi to know.
Situ Jing found the rudder of Tianqing Pavilion in Manchester City according to the intelligence, this is a pawnshop, and he wants to find someone to say that no one will take care of you, he also has Siyun Pavilion's stronghold in Manchester City, according to the secret agent heard the code, he said directly: "The boat enters Huarong, and the white water surrounds the city wall." The trees are lined with trees, and the reflections are green. Far color is divided into village docks, slightly cool and moving reed leaves. Heaven and earth are trapped and rotten, and the rivers and lakes are lonely. ”
The guy looked up at him and said, "Childe, please come back." ”
After speaking, he walked out from behind the counter and walked to the front of Situ Jing to guide him, and Situ Jing was guided to wait in the back room.
After a while, a middle-aged man came and bowed to him and said, "Qin Yuan, the helmsman of the Lower Azure Pavilion and Manchester City, I don't know what happened to Your Excellency when you came to the Azure Pavilion?" ”
Situ Jing also politely bowed his hand to the other party: "In the Xiyun family of Xialing, Yun Murong, Lu Huoyuan, who came to the Azure Pavilion through the guidance of others, I don't know where he is now?" ”
The man looked at him suspiciously, and replied, "Deputy Pavilion Master Lu disappeared fourteen years ago, and we don't know where the others are, and I don't know who instructed you to come to him. ”
Situ Jing didn't expect such a result, he didn't say much, only said that it was an old man who pointed out, and asked: "What happened fourteen years ago that he still hasn't heard from him." ”
The man didn't care about his answer, and continued to answer: "It is said that it is because of the royal affairs, but the details are not clear, and all that I know is what I heard from the old people in the cabinet when they chatted." ”
Situ Jing didn't give up and continued to ask, "Is there anyone in the pavilion who knows about that past?" ”
The man didn't want to say more, but said: "I don't know much, if the prince wants to inquire again, you can go to the Azure Pavilion headquarters, after all, Deputy Pavilion Master Lu's prestige in the pavilion is also very high, and his disappearance still caused an uproar in the cabinet, and there should be many people who know about him." ”
After Situ Jing thanked him, he left, and the man hurriedly ordered his subordinates to report to the headquarters that someone had come to find Deputy Pavilion Master Lu.
