Chapter 429: Unshakable National Capital

It didn't take long for Liu Juntao to lead two thousand heavily armored iron cavalry to the canal wharf, and the people of the military department had already prepared three cao boats here, and after Liu Juntao had made a little rectification here, he could go south along the canal and return to Shandong.

At this moment, Liu Juntao saw Xu Youzhen, the left deputy capital who had been waiting for a long time, on the dock.

Liu Juntao was slightly surprised in his heart, but he still stepped forward to salute.

Xu Youzhen also returned the salute with a smile and said: "I have been waiting for a long time, this time General Liu has a long way to go south to Shandong, and I hope to cherish it!" ”

Liu Juntao clenched his fists and said: "I have Lord Lao Xu worried!" ”

Then, Liu Juntao said: "However, Lord Xu is waiting for this town here, except for seeing off this town, there should be other things, right?" ”

Xu Youzhen said with a smile: "That's nature!" It's just that I need to delay Mr. Liu for some time. ”

Liu Juntao also wanted to ask some information from Xu Youzhen's mouth, so as to judge whether it was Shi Heng, the governor of the right capital, who was secretly mobilizing troops and horses.

So, Liu Juntao gave the order in advance to let the army start loading the ship and prepare for departure.

Then, Liu Juntao and Xu Youzhen came to a teahouse near the canal wharf, and the twenty guards accompanying them immediately searched the teahouse, and when they saw that there were no suspicious characters, they surrounded a teahouse inside.

"Lord Xu, please!"

"Mr. Liu, please!"

Liu Juntao and Xu Youzhen walked into the tea room and sat opposite each other.

Liu Juntao said with a smile: "Lord Xu, this town has been in accordance with the previous agreement, and when the right governor needs it, he has publicly written a letter to speak out for the former prince, although it has not saved the situation, but it can be regarded as doing its part. In that case, this town should be considered to be true to its word, right? ”

"Hehe, that's nature!"

Xu Youzhen said with a smile: "Mr. Liu is a believer, and he knows this in Xia and Shi Dudu. ”

"In that case, there is one thing, this town needs Lord Xu to tell the truth, and you must not shirk!"

"What's the matter?"

"I've heard from this town that there are undercurrents surging all over Gyeonggi now! I wonder if this is true? ”

"Mr. Liu laughed, now that the DPRK and China are in turmoil, there must be undercurrents surging all over Gyeonggi, of course this is the truth, Mr. Liu, don't tell me, you only know now!"

Liu Juntao looked at Xu Youzhen, who was smiling slightly, but said very seriously: "There are no jokes in this town!" Moreover, the undercurrent that this town is talking about is not a small action secretly made by those ministers of the DPRK and China! This town is asking if the right governor is secretly mobilizing troops and horses! ”

Although Liu Juntao's voice was not loud, to Xu Youzhen's ears, it was like a shocking thunder, and Xu Youzhen was so frightened that he immediately stood up!

"Mr. Liu is really good at telling jokes!"

Xu Youzhen calmed down for a moment and said: "Now that all the departments of the Gyeonggi garrison have been reorganized and directly accept the dispatch of the military department, the right governor now has no soldiers at all except for the personal soldiers and family members around him, where can he secretly mobilize soldiers and horses?" ”

"It is impossible to transfer troops from all over Gyeonggi, but what about the towns on the nine sides?"

Liu Juntao sneered and said: "The right governor is in the border town to resist the Wara army, and his prestige among the nine border towns is very high, and this town thinks that it is not difficult for the right governor to mobilize some private troops from the towns into Beijing!" ”

Hearing this, Xu Youzhen's forehead had begun to sweat, and the smile on her face gradually stiffened, and in the end, there was not even a trace of smile on her face, only iron blue.

"What does Mr. Liu mean?"

Xu Youzhen said coldly: "Today, I came to see each other off with good intentions, I originally wanted to continue to maintain such a cooperative relationship with Mr. Liu, but it's almost a set!" But he didn't think that Liu Zongbing was ready to throw such a big disaster on the head of the right governor, did Liu Zongbing want to completely break with the right governor? Or is Liu Zongbing influenced by others? ”

After finishing speaking, Xu Youzhen stared at Liu Juntao and looked at it without saying a word.

And Liu Juntao stared at Xu Youzhen-for-tat, wanting to see something from Xu Youzhen's face.

After a long while, Liu Juntao suddenly smiled and said: "This town has also heard some news, which happens to be unfavorable to the right governor, so I will take this opportunity to remind Lord Xu, and I have no other intentions!" ”

Hearing this, Xu Youzhen pondered for a while, then sat down and said, "Then thank you Mr. Liu!" ”

Then, Liu Juntao and Xu Youzhen said some scenes without nutrition, Xu Youzhen saw that the time was not early, so he said: "Liu Zongbing, I came to be entrusted by the right governor to prepare some grain and grass this time, and I have hoarded it on the dock, and I hope that Liu Zongbing will accept it with a smile!" ”

Regarding Shi Heng's things, Liu Juntao has always been a person who does not refuse, and there is no need to be polite with such a person.

So, Liu Juntao said with a smile: "The town will accept it, please thank the right governor on behalf of Lord Xu after you go back!" ”

"Hehe, that's easy to say!"

After a while, Xu Youzhen was ready to leave.

At this time, Liu Juntao suddenly stopped Xu Youzhen, the smile on his face disappeared, and he said coldly: "Since Lord Xu said that the matter of secretly transferring troops has nothing to do with the right governor, then all the towns believe it!" There is only one thing, it is better to make it clear in advance in this town! ”

Xu Youzhen frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" Please Liu Zongbing speak clearly! ”

"After the town returns to Shandong, the affairs of the DPRK and China will naturally not be mixed up again. This town doesn't care what method the right governor and Lord Xu use to help the emperor restore the throne, but there is one thing, that is, the country must not be shaken! Once a few people act in vain and cause damage to the Ming Kingdom, even if the town is wiped out by the nine clans, it will have to raise troops to the north to the side of the Qing Dynasty! ”

Xu Youzhen suddenly had her heart and gall cracked when she heard this, and in just a moment, her whole body was completely wet with cold sweat, and she hurriedly said goodbye to Liu Juntao, and hurriedly left.

But Liu Juntao was still sitting in the tea room and did not leave immediately.

"Looking at Xu Youzhen's performance, it doesn't look like she's lying. Then Xu Youzhen is either really unaware, or the matter of secretly transferring troops has nothing to do with Shi Heng! ”

Thinking of this, Liu Juntao seemed to remember something, and said secretly: "Of course it is possible, I guessed wrong from the beginning, and no one secretly transferred troops, just the feeling of Lord Yu!" ”

Liu Juntao thought about it for a while in the tea room, but he still didn't know the point.

In the end, Liu Juntao stopped thinking about this, after all, there is too little information now, even if he wants to break his head, he can't think of anything, so it's better to wait for the news from the Ministry of Intelligence.

When Liu Juntao returned to the wharf, the grain and grass sent by Shi Heng had already been delivered, and it was being loaded together with the army's baggage, and it was estimated that it would be loaded in half an hour.

And the two thousand heavily armored iron cavalry soldiers were also ready to go, Liu Juntao saw that it was still early, so he ordered the soldiers to eat first, and was not in a hurry.

In the afternoon, Liu Juntao led the army to set off south and return to Shandong.

At the same time, Xu Youzhen rushed back to Beijing non-stop, and after entering the city, he didn't care about resting, and came directly to Shiheng's mansion.

Xu Youzhen told Shi Heng about Liu Juntao's suspicions, and then asked directly: "Right Governor!" You tell me the truth, are you secretly transferring troops? This is a major matter related to the life and death of our people, so don't hide it from me! ”

Shi Heng was also surprised and said, "How is it possible! Haven't we already made a plan? How could I change it secretly! ”

"That's weird!"

Xu Youzhen said suspiciously: "Could it be that there are other people in the court who are secretly transferring troops?" Could it be Your Majesty! ”

Hearing this, Shi Heng suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, if this is the case, then Shi Heng and his party are in danger!

But immediately after, Shi Heng waved his hand and said, "It won't be Your Majesty!" His Majesty's ascension to the throne has not been until he is too short to control the Gyeonggi garrison, so how can he control the soldiers and horses outside Beijing? ”

"Who could that be?"

For a while, Shi Heng and Xu Youzhen couldn't figure it out.

At this time, Shi Heng said: "Could it be that Liu Juntao deliberately interfered with our audio-visual?" Or was Liu Juntao disturbed by something, so he had a misunderstanding? ”

Xu Youzhen thought about it and felt that the current situation could only be explained clearly by saying this explanation.

However, both Shi Heng and Xu Youzhen believe that they should be more careful in the future and must not be taken lightly, otherwise they will lose everything!
