Taisho did not have an early dynasty for more than 20 years, but it was not easy to make a chicken fly and a dog jump, and this kind of chaos was the first time since the establishment of the Taisho dynasty.

Lan Ziyi hurriedly went out of the noon gate to meet the Tao brothers, and after the four of them left the palace, they received horses from the guards and hurriedly planned to go out of the city, but they didn't expect to see the father and son of the Qiu family and a few sergeants standing on the opposite side of the imperial bridge. The father and son of the Qiu family looked very anxious, they seemed to want to enter the palace, but they were stopped by the guards.

Seeing this, Lan Ziyi glanced back at the Tao brothers, and several of them were puzzled, Lan Ziyi had ordered the father and son of the enemy family to go out of the city before entering the palace, why are they still here?

Lan Ziyi hurriedly led the horse forward, and when he got closer, he heard Qiu Wenruo saying bitterly to the guard:

"This military master, I am the secretary in front of the account of the Marquis of Wei, and I have an urgent military situation that needs to be reported, so I bother you to go in and inform the Marquis of Wei or Father-in-law Yu, it is really important to have a military situation!"

The guard who took the lead looked at Qiu Wenruo, and then looked at the Beijing soldiers behind him who were still carrying weapons, their expressions were serious, full of vigilance, and he and several other sergeants who surrounded him were all holding swords and guns in their hands, for fear that these people who came here would cause trouble.

The man who took the lead raised his chin and said to Qiu Wenruo:

"If you have an urgent military situation, go to the military department to report, and it is not in accordance with the rules to enter the palace directly. And now that I am in the early dynasty, I am not qualified to enter the palace to inform my father-in-law or the marquis of Wei. ”

Qiu Wenruo remembered to stomp his feet and said:

"It's not that I don't understand the rules, but this military situation can't go to the military department, and I have to know it to Grandpa Yu himself. And all the adults have already come out of the palace just now, and the early dynasty has dispersed.

This military master, you are doing well, please tell Wei Hou or Yu Gonggong and say that if Qiu Wen asks to see me, they will definitely see me. “

Although Qiu Wenruo said sincerely, those soldiers guarding the bridge did not mean to let him in at all, and the sergeant who took the lead still asked Qiu Wenruo to go to the military department.

At this time, Lan Ziyi had already walked to him, and he opened his mouth to greet Qiu Wenruo:

"Hasn't Mr. Wen Ruo already returned to the army? Why here? “

Qiu Wenruo heard the voice and hurriedly turned sideways to look behind the guards, and when he saw that it was Lan Ziyi coming, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said in a remote voice:

"Wei Hou, Wen Ruo has an urgent report!"

The guards guarding the gate saw Lan Ziyi coming, and saw that the people on both sides did know each other, so they made way for Lan Ziyi, but they still stayed by the bridge and did not plan to put Qiu Wenruo and his party in like this.

Lan Ziyi carried his horse across the imperial bridge, came to Qiu Wenruo's heart, and asked:

"What's the matter, sir?"

Qiu Wenruo looked at the defenders on the other side of the bridge, pulled Lan Ziyi to the side, and said:

"Jiangbei came over last night, and it was Lei Youde's messenger."

Saying that, Qiu Wenruo raised his eyes and pointed to the person next to him, and Lan Ziyi saw that there was a person in the group who was not wearing armor.

Knowing that this was Lei Youde's messenger, Lan Ziyi frowned, and he asked:

"What does Lei Youde want to preach?"

Qiu Wen Ruo spoke for the messenger and said:

"Lei Youde wants the court to recruit peace."

When Lan Ziyi heard the word "Zhao'an", his stomach was bitter and his brows were twisted together. He opened his mouth and said:

"Don't think about it, just now the official Lin Shilang who proposed to recruit an in the early dynasty was beaten by the dynasty and lost half his life, and it is impossible for the court to recruit an at all. Don't go in to find Grandpa Yu, let's hurry back to the camp. “

Saying that, Lan Ziyi planned to take everyone out of the city and back to the camp.

Qiu Wenruo turned around and exchanged glances with his father Qiu Xiaozhi when he heard this, this time it was Qiu Xiaozhi's turn to speak, and Qiu Xiaozhi said:

"Wei Hou, this messenger is from Luzhou. Yesterday at noon, the thieves' ships had already appeared on the river. “

As soon as Lan Ziyi heard this, his footsteps immediately took root and froze in place, unable to move, Lan Ziyi felt as if someone was holding a gong to his ear and knocking it hard, and his whole head was about to explode now.

The thieves were on the river yesterday, so they must have arrived in the capital now, and Zhang Wang and the Beijing army under his command are still in Danyang, how can they fight now?

Lan Ziyi's ears rang for a long time, and the scenery in front of him seemed to be spinning, and he almost fainted to the ground.

Later, Tao Zhulu saw that Lan Ziyi's situation was not good, and followed up to help Lan Ziyi.

Lan Ziyi's whole face was wrinkled together now, and his brows were squeezed under his eyes, pressing his eyes extremely fiercely.

Lan Ziyi opened his mouth and asked:

"Where is Taiwei Zhang?"

Qiu Wenruo replied:

"Taiwei led his troops to drive out shortly after Wei Hou set off yesterday, and after discovering that there were thieves on the river, Taiwei abandoned his baggage and led the light rui to go first, and now he is half a step faster than the thieves, and he is about to arrive at Xinting."

When Lan Ziyi heard this, the roar in his brain suddenly dissipated a lot, and the breath in his heart turned into a cloud in the sky, drifting out of Lan Ziyi's mouth and nose little by little.

Xinting is the key to the southwest of the capital, and it has always been necessary to take Xinting down the river to attack the capital, since Zhang Wang can reach Xinting one step ahead of the thieves to stop, then at least there is a fight.

However, Lan Ziyi felt that something was wrong when he thought about it, and hurriedly asked again:

"How can a thief ship not outrun people and horses when it goes downstream? The rain has not stopped for several months until now, and the road is not accessible at all, how can Taiwei Zhang go to the front? Don't fool me. “

Qiu Xiao replied directly:

"The wind and waves on the river are urgent, Wei Hou crosses the river and naturally knows, we are just worthy of crossing the river and stopping at Guyi, although the thief boat has entered the river, but it is not easy to go down the river in such a big wave, and the boats they are riding are all newly made, and God will bless them if they don't fall apart."

Qiu Xiaozhi said it directly, Lan Ziyi was suspicious after hearing it, and then looked at the messenger of Lei Youde and asked:

"And how did this kid get here?"

Qiu Wenruo replied:

"I waited for the overnight march last night, this person crossed the river and landed in a small boat, and was caught by the rear team, and then the captain asked me and my father to take this person back to Beijing to meet Wei Hou and Yu Gonggong first."

Lan Ziyi stood in place and thought about it, then turned around and prepared to step onto the imperial bridge. Seeing this, Tao Zhuhu stopped Lan Ziyi and asked:

"What is the young master doing on the bridge?"

兰子义 says:

"Of course you entered the palace to meet Father-in-law Yu?"

桃淚虎 says:

"Wei Hou said that the dynasty has been dispersed, and Father-in-law Yu must have returned to the Taicheng Wei Yamen at Zhaoxian Gate, and it is not only inconvenient for us to enter the palace from the Gongji Gate, but also it is possible to miss the father-in-law who is preparing to leave the city. It's better for us to go out of the royal ditch and go east, and it is more convenient to rush to the Zhaoxian Gate as soon as possible. ”

Lan Ziyi nodded after hearing this. Then Lan Ziyi took out some broken silver from his arms and gave it to the sergeants who entered Beijing with the father and son of the enemy, and ordered them to find a store on the street outside Gongji Gate to eat something to rest and rest, and wait for Lan Ziyi to go out of the city and call them. Then Lan Ziyi and the Tao brothers led the horses to the street, and the three of them respectively put the father and son of the enemy family and the messenger on their horses, and galloped to the Zhaoxian Gate where the Taicheng Wei Yamen was located in the east.

The defenders outside the Zhaoxian Gate had already memorized Lan Ziyi, and when they saw that Lan Ziyi had something important to ask to see Yu Gonggong, a sergeant led the way, and Lan Ziyi and his party hurriedly led them to Yu Gonggong's place.

When Lan Ziyi saw Father-in-law Yu, Father-in-law Yu was changing his clothes and preparing to leave. Knowing that Lan Ziyi came to ask for a meeting, Father-in-law Yu was also surprised, and he didn't look back and said to Lan Ziyi who was standing outside the bedroom door:

"Isn't Wei Hou going to meet up with the Tao family brothers outside the noon gate and then go out of the city first? How did you come back again? Rather than this, it is better to go back to Taicheng Weiyamen with me just now. ”

But after saying that, Father-in-law Yu felt that something was wrong, and when he looked back, he found that in addition to Lan Ziyi, there were also the father and son of the Qiu family and another face.

Lan Ziyi waved his hand at Father-in-law Yu and said:

"Father-in-law, as soon as I left the palace, I met two gentlemen from the enemy family who asked to see my father-in-law with Lei Youde's messenger, and Ziyi hurriedly brought them here."

Father-in-law Yu was taken aback when he heard this, and asked:

"What did you say?"

After that, Lan Ziyi told Father-in-law Yu about what the father and son of the enemy family had just said about the thief crossing the river, Zhang Wang's return for help, and Lei Youde's messenger coming, and Father-in-law Yu sat on a chair and looked at Lei Youde's letter brought by the messenger.

By the time Lan Ziyi and the father and son of the enemy family finished speaking, Father-in-law Yu had already finished reading the letter. Father-in-law Yu handed the letter to Lan Ziyi, and then said to the messenger who was kneeling on the ground:

"The thief's appetite is really not small. You came to me to make such a request, and you are not afraid that I will behead you for public display? ”

The messenger knelt on the ground and was already shaking like chaff, and when he heard the fish father-in-law say that he was going to be beheaded, he was even more frightened, and kowtowed like pounding garlic and said:

"Father-in-law spares his life, father-in-law spares his life! The villain was also forced to be helpless, and the thief said that if I didn't come, I would kill my whole family, and I was also forced! ”

Lan Ziyi didn't care what the messenger said, his attention was on the letter. As Yu Gonggong said, Lei Youde opened his mouth very widely, Lei Youde mentioned in the letter that he killed the king of heaven, and the imperial court should crown Lei Youde as the king for this reason, and cede the two provinces of Jiangbei and the east of Jingkou to the demon thieves as a place to settle, and asked the court to recognize the thieves as a town army alongside the northern army and the eastern army, and the imperial court should allocate two million taels of silver every year for military salaries.

Lan Ziyi looked at the letter and laughed, how could this kind of lion open his mouth and the court could agree.

Then Lan Ziyi signaled if he could circulate this letter to others, Grandpa Yu nodded in agreement, and then Grandpa Yu shouted to the guards outside the door:

"Someone dragged this guy to the temple to lock me up, and the blood on his head was going to stain the ground."

The Taicheng guards who were waiting outside the door took the order and took off the unlucky guy who was still kowtowing. Father-in-law Yu was in no mood to care about that guy's wailing, he was annoyed.

Lan Ziyi said at this time;

"Father-in-law, we must go out of the city as soon as possible to join up with Taiwei Zhang, we need to transfer all the remaining forces in the capital, including the Imperial Forest Army, to defend Xinting, so that we still have the combat strength to fight."

Father-in-law Yu nodded slightly and said:

"I see, don't be alarmist. Mobilizing the Imperial Forest Army is not a trivial matter, just after a quarrel in the court, do you think the ministers will agree to transfer troops? ”

兰子义 says:

"The ministers don't agree, but Zhang Mingyue doesn't necessarily disagree, not to mention that we still have Grandpa Long."
