Without a Trace Volume 7 Winning the Throne Chapter 14 Part of the Way
、、、、、、、
Although it was six hundred miles expedited, it was already mid-December when the will was delivered to Feng Wuji. Calculating the time, Feng Wuxian had almost concluded that he would spend the New Year halfway, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. He came to Jingling this time to call it Shouling, but in fact, he was not even a distraction, and he was either busy investigating the news in Beijing or writing letters to officials everywhere, and he was so busy that he didn't even have time to rest. Now he understands that the throne looks extraordinary, and if it is replaced by someone who is incapacitated, I am afraid that he will not be able to hold it for a few days.
"Your Highness, it's all done!" Zhan Pohan hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "According to your orders, the gold has been exchanged for silver tickets, and those things have been hidden." The subordinates deliberately picked a few places chosen by their henchmen, and also took advantage of the drunkenness to greet the county government's Liu County Order, so there should be no mistakes. ”
He has also been busy these days, since he may not come back after returning to Beijing this time, he naturally selected all the cronies he has cultivated in the past few years, and all the people who should be promoted are listed in a list. Even if the Mausoleum Guarding Battalion changes to a new commander in the future, as long as the generals and schools at all levels have installed their own people, it will not be difficult to support them.
"Very good, my father's will is clear, and we must rush back to the capital as soon as possible. Thinking that he also wants to rectify the Fengtai camp as soon as possible, you, the new commander, also have to prepare well, if you can, you might as well go to the military department to report, and insert some of your own people in, so it is convenient to rule. Feng Wuxian saw Zhan Pohan nodding in agreement, and couldn't help but think of the words in his father's secret decree, and his face showed helplessness, "That so-called heaven-sent auspicious thing." Why has this king never heard you mention it, you have concealed it well, and now it is spreading in the capital. I heard that even my father was a little surprised, and that thing was in the right place. ”
Zhan Pohan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed in his heart, his original intention of hiding from Feng Wuxian was that he was afraid that he would not be able to explain if the matter was messed up. Moreover, the emperor secretly ordered him to prepare for this matter, and it was not beautiful to say it easily. However, at this time, the expression on his face became solemn, "Your Highness, don't think that this is all fake land, the jade was bought by the henchmen of the last general, and the mountain people don't know the goods." Almost outrageous. The texture patterns on the top are all naturally generated, and there is no falsehood, presumably the Heavenly Lord is also working together to build momentum for His Highness. ”
Feng Wuxian has to say that Zhan Pohan's flattery is a little level, although it is not as good as those officialdom veterans, but in any case, it is not easy for a general who was born in a civilian and then rose and fell to become what he is today. If you want to garrison Fengtai in the future, this person should also be able to deal with it. "Alright. This king doesn't have the time to fight with you, so prepare everything as soon as possible, don't delay any longer. If there are no other problems, it's time to leave tomorrow. ”
After leaving Fengningju, Zhan Pohan did not return to his station immediately, but went straight to Xu Chun to discuss. Feng Wuxian once vaguely revealed to him the news that someone had bad intentions. Therefore, he had to be more careful when he entered Beijing from this master this time. Regardless of whether Xu Chun and the others were still hostile to him, it was necessary to cooperate with them, otherwise if something went wrong, his good future would be over.
Although he still had some doubts about Zhan Pohan's intentions, Xu Chun was not polite, and directly gathered his colleagues, and a group of people immediately began to discuss many arrangements on the road. Among these guards, except for Ling Renjie and others, who were the first batch of guards given by the emperor, the others were also old men who had escorted Feng Wuxian to Fujian, so their loyalty could stand up to consideration. After some explanation, everyone's face was solemn, and everyone could see that the emperor now attached great importance to his master, whether it was for the sake of a bright future or his life, they would never allow any more mistakes.
After some deliberations, everyone dispersed, and the preparations before going on the road were water grinding skills, and there was no room for sloppiness. The last time he had inadvertently said that experienced killers could even use their hands and feet on vehicles and horses, no one dared to underestimate those trivial errands. However, the four maids in the palace were the most leisurely, nothing more than sorting out their clothes. The four of them had served on the pillow this time, and they were all overjoyed when they thought that they wouldn't have to do those rough errands after returning home. The master is now a noble person with backgammon, and they can follow such a person, and they will undoubtedly have something to rely on in the future.
When it was actually on the road, the nearly mile-long line still made Feng Wuji frown.
He has never been a very ostentatious person, but this time he returned to Beijing and was different from the last time he went to Fujian. Riding in a luxurious carriage, with a thick fence in front of it and a charcoal stove in the car, it made Feng Wuxian sweat, not to mention that there were four maids waiting for him from time to time.
"Immortal, isn't this king such a delicate person, even if he goes out for a while, can't he do it?" Feng Wuxian glared at the Immortal with an angry face, this
A cold guy who has been following him since he set off, and he has completely grounded himself. "You don't listen to Xu Chun and them, the front and back will only target too big, as if they are showing the way to the killer assassin."
The former sentence was not very concerned, but the latter sentence moved the heart of the man who had once walked in the dark. For someone of the highest rank, it doesn't matter if there are many guards with them. As long as these people are willing, and are not afraid of the retaliation that ensues, it will be a hit, and then it will fly away in an instant. The risk of licking blood on the head of the knife is really nothing.
"Your Highness means that we should leave the brigade of our servants and go on the road alone?" Shen Jue asked thoughtfully, "Do you want to say that General Zhan should prepare a stand-in again?" He looked at Feng Wuxian with some amusement and nodded repeatedly, "It doesn't matter to the subordinates, but Lord Xu, they will definitely not agree, Your Highness, you will die of this heart." The emperor's edict is written extremely harshly, who dares to take a big risk? ”
Unexpectedly, everyone deliberated for a long time, and finally agreed to the almost child's play request of Feng Wuxi. Although they were heavily guarded, they were already aware of the fact that there were many people secretly watching in the past few days, so they were extremely uneasy. Zhan Pohan picked a few people who were similar to Xu Chun and the others from among the five hundred people in Hu, changed into their clothes as guards, and found a clever henchman to sit in the car. According to the ideas of these people, as long as the wind can hold up without a trace, they can rush back to the capital by moving quickly, so that they may be able to get rid of those with bad intentions.
Fenglin County is only three or four days away from the capital, so it has always been the main road for businessmen to come and go, just look at the dense variety of inns and restaurants on both sides of the street, you can know the prosperity and wealth here. For a small and medium-sized county, the people's life is no different from that of the capital, at least one day's income can maintain food and clothing, if you are diligent, you can barely manage it even if you are well-off.
This day happens to be the end of the year, and the rich people naturally set off all kinds of firecrackers to have a celebration, and as for those who are not well-off, they will not forget to find someone to write an auspicious Spring Festival couplet. Even the inns and restaurants that have been busy on the streets and alleys for a year have removed their door panels one by one, and the shopkeeper and the like naturally want to take advantage of this time to comfort the guys and ask for a good fortune for the coming year. However, a hurried sound of horses' hooves shattered the festive atmosphere in the city, and a group of black-clad passers-by swept into the county like a gust of wind, leaving a large handful of scattered silver taels at the feet of the city guards.
"Hehe, I didn't expect Chinese New Year's Eve to have such good luck!" A few of the officers happily picked up the broken silver from the ground, and their faces were full of pride. A young messenger was still muttering over there: "Those guys are so generous, ordinary merchants have always been stingy with a handful of copper and passed, and they actually scattered silver." It's really more human than human, and it's infuriating! ”
After all, another older errand servant was a person who had seen a lot of world affairs, and hurriedly interrupted: "What nonsense are you talking about, how can those people look like businessmen, they are obviously errands for important matters, you don't want to die, dare to talk nonsense there?" A few errand officers next to him suddenly stopped talking, they all knew that the boss next to him was sharp-eyed, none of the entrained businessmen could hide from him, and now he said that those people just now were also officials, where did they dare to say more. Hengzhuo is already earning money on duty on Chinese New Year's Eve today, so much to do.
After galloping for seven days in a row, Rao is wind has practiced internal skills for many years, and finally laid a good foundation, and he also felt a little unbearable. What is hateful is that today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and the guards have asked several inns in a row that are closed, and they hate Ling Renjie, the most grumpy, who has plans to make trouble. In the end, the largest inn in the city is still open, and there are the least pedestrians at this time, so Xu Chun successfully chartered the entire inn, and the ingot of a hundred taels of silver was so happy that the shopkeeper was upset.
After using a steaming meal, Feng Wuxian felt a burst of relief from his internal organs. There were already people in the kitchen who were watching, so they didn't have to worry about those guys being bribed. In order to avoid people's eyes, they are also dressed in a unified manner, but the clothes on Feng Wuxian are a little more gorgeous. However, the shopkeeper must not believe that kind of nonsense such as businessmen, so Xu Chun simply revealed his official body, and a sentence of the constitutional order to do an errand scared the shopkeeper to be honest.
Comfortably put your feet in the hot water, and enjoy this rare time without a trace. Probably their whereabouts are quite secretive, so they got here without any problems. At the moment, there is not much way from the capital, and those who are about to make a move should also weigh it carefully, and if they do it here, the possibility of failure is much greater. Tomorrow is the new year, so why don't you rest here for a day before you go on the road, he thought as he closed his eyes, and it was better to squint for a while.
