At sunset, a well-guarded convoy slowly moved forward, the galloping horses' hooves kicking up the dust on the ground, protecting a quaint carriage in the middle, and in front of and behind the carriage were sergeants who could not see the edge as far as the eye could see. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

When the first person was dressed in a narrow-sleeved python robe, with a red horse under his crotch, the extreme of a divine horse, the convoy went forward, an ancient city faintly appeared, and the person who came waved his hand to signal the convoy to reduce his speed, and he reined in the horse's head, turned back to the side of the carriage, and bowed his head.

"Your Highness, there is Jinan Mansion in front!"

The tone is soft-spoken, extremely respectful, if his subordinates hear it, I'm afraid that their eyes will pop out, is this still their unsmiling factory father?

Yes, this person is the current Admiral Liang Yong of Dongchang! And this long convoy is Zhu Changluo's car!

It has been nearly seven days since he left the Beijing Division, and he, the "Deputy Chief Commander of the Preparatory Army", has long been pulled behind by the army, the reason is, of course, because Zhu Changluo's convoy is too slow to keep up with the speed of the army's rapid march.

Although the commander of this battle is Li Rusong, he has some friendship with Zhu Changluo, but once he brings up the troops, he will prohibit it, and he will never delay the speed of the march for the sake of one person, even if this person is Zhu Changluo!

Therefore, after repeatedly negotiating with Zhu Changluo, Li Rusong resolutely decided to leave him behind and led his army to Seoul first.

And Zhu Changluo was not in a hurry, he hung in the back, as if he was a gentleman who came out to mix military achievements.

The curtain was lifted, revealing Zhu Changluo's lazy face, and said lightly.

"Jinan Mansion? If this king remembers correctly, Li Zhi, the governor of Liaodong, is here, have you informed him? ”

If Zhu Changluo went to Beijing this time, it was not easy to follow, the point is that all the courtiers were worried, for fear that something would happen to him on the battlefield, and he fully supported the army to go on the expedition, not to mention, the officials were even more attentive along the way.

What made Zhu Changluo feel speechless the most was that it is said that after Li Rusong left him behind the army and led his troops to Liaodong alone to return to the capital, the courtiers rarely did not make a fuss about this matter, but praised Li Rusong for doing the right thing......

I'm afraid that in their opinion, Zhu Changluo only needs to stay in the rear, wait for Li Rusong to finish the battle, return with the army, and then smoothly ascend to the crown prince's throne, which is the most suitable for them.

"Back to Your Highness, I have informed you that Lord Li has already taken the officials of Jinan Mansion to greet His Highness at the gate of the city!"

Although Liang Yong was riding on a horse, his body was still bowed and said respectfully.

Speaking of which, this expedition, Liang Yong benefited the most, although when he arrested the spies, Dongchang suffered a loss, and all let Jinyiwei steal the limelight, but this expedition, the emperor specially sent Liang Yong over and ordered him to protect Zhu Changluo's safety no matter what.

And in order to be more justifiable, Liang Yong was directly promoted from the eunuch of the imperial horse to the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch Bingbi, and became the supervisor of the Liaodong army!

"Well, where has the army gone?"

Zhu Changluo nodded, sat up straight, and asked.

"Back to Your Highness, half an hour ago, I just received a military report that the army has arrived in Pyongyang, and in two days, we will reach Seoul!"

After a pause, Liang Yong lowered his voice and continued.

"There is also news from the capital, saying that Xing Shilang has also set off, and within half a month, he will meet with the army! The spies on the Jianzhou side reported that Nurhachi's grain and grass had been fully mobilized, and I was afraid that within half a month, a complete war with the Haixi Jurchens would be launched."

After Zhu Changluo listened, he didn't speak, just looked at Jinan Mansion silently and muttered.

"Half a month......"

Immediately, the curtain on the carriage was lowered, Liang Yongyi reined in the horse's head, and returned to the front of the convoy, and the speed of the team's march was also significantly accelerated.

After a while, the originally faintly visible city wall was already close in front of him, Zhu Changluo got down from the carriage, but saw an old man in a scarlet robe take two steps forward, bow his head and arch his hand.

"Governor Liaodong Li Zhi see His Royal Highness!"

And behind him, a group of officials in various official uniforms also saluted one after another.

"See Your Highness!"

Zhu Changluo showed a smile on his face and said lightly.

"Governor Li is polite, this king is going out with the army this time, so there is no need to put on such a big salute!"

The person in front of him is Li Zhi, the governor of Liaodong, of course, although he is the governor of Liaodong, but he is far inferior to Li Sancai, because this Li Zhi's official is Guanglu Siqing and the right Yushi, the right Yushi is the title of the fourth grade, and the Guanglu Siqing is the title of the third grade, not to mention that even if it is also a false award, the difference between the Guanglu Siqing and the Hubu Shangshu is not just the grade.

"Your Royal Highness's daughter, go to the battlefield in person, the ceremony cannot be abolished, the ceremony cannot be abolished!"

Feeling the gentleness in Zhu Changluo's words, a smile suddenly appeared on Li Zhi's face, and he said in a loud voice.

After a pause, his brows furrowed slightly, revealing a hint of doubt, and asked.

"Your Highness, the minister has been ordered before, His Royal Highness is the deputy chief military officer of the preparation of the Japanese, why are there only so many people beside him? What about the entourage? ”

It's okay not to say it, as soon as these words came out, Zhu Changluo's face suddenly sank, and Liang Yong on the side hurriedly stepped forward.

"Lord Li, Your Highness has been traveling all the way, so let's go to the city first!"

Li Zhi's face froze, obviously seeing Zhu Changluo's expression, he suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing, and bowed his head and said.

"This father-in-law is right, it is the minister who is not careful, the minister has prepared a dust washing banquet in the city, and asked His Highness to move ......"

"No need, this king is tired, Master Li should go by himself!"

Zhu Changluo's face was ugly, he waved his hand impatiently, turned around and got into the carriage.

Leaving Li Zhi with an embarrassed face, and Liang Yong was also slightly surprised, but immediately showed a wry smile and said.

"Lord Li, don't blame, Your Highness may be tired along the way, so let's take Your Highness to rest first!"

"My father-in-law is polite, it's the old man who doesn't think about it......"

Li Zhi arched his hand, but he made way of a way, Dao.

And Liang Yong arched his hand, turned over and got on his horse, and led the convoy straight into the city.

When the convoy disappeared at the gate of the city, a blue-robed official behind Li Zhi stepped forward with a frown and said.

"My lord, the shelves of His Royal Highness King Shou are too big! The lord is the governor of the city, and he is not the prince yet, so he is so arrogant that he simply does not put the military and people of Liaodong in his eyes! ”

Unexpectedly, Li Zhi shook his head, snorted coldly, and said sternly.

"What nonsense, Your Highness has been tired all the way, and there are people who are in a bad mood, and if there are such words to sow discord, this official will not spare you!"

"Yes......"

The green-robed official saw that the horse's ass was slapped on the horse's hooves, and he knew that he was bored, so he had to retreat in a sneer.

It's just that what he didn't see was that looking at the direction where the convoy disappeared, the corners of his mouth suddenly hooked up a smug smile......
