Back in the camp, Lu Heng said hello to the soldiers who were on guard. And he prepared to go to the big tent.

It's just that when I was halfway through, I happened to meet Agui who came out in a hurry.

"Agui, why are you in such a hurry?" Lu Heng, who had untied the knot in his heart, was in a good mood at this time, and after seeing Agui, he made a joke with difficulty.

Agui, who looked anxious, saw the oncoming son. Immediately, his face was happy. Hurriedly ran forward, stretched out his hand and pointed to the big tent, and said with a solemn face: "Childe, someone is here in Tokyo!" It seems that something big is going on in Tokyo, and it's serious! ”

When Lu Heng heard this, his heart trembled for no reason.

Could it be that something is wrong at home?

Lu Heng panicked, and his body trembled involuntarily.

On the side, after seeing this, Agui hurriedly said: "Don't worry, son, it's not our house, it's ......."

Ah Gui glanced around, and after seeing that no one was paying attention to this side, he lowered his voice and said with a solemn face: "It's the palace!" ”

Hearing this news, Lu Heng immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Turning his head, he glared at Ah Gui angrily, and seeing Ah Gui scratching his head and smirking, Lu Heng shook his head and walked straight towards the big tent.

"Tokyo didn't use the flying eagle to pass the letter, but sent Qianniuwei to come, probably for fear of leaking the news." Agui walked all the way, and explained anxiously all the way: "That Qianniuwei has been running from Taiyuan to here without sleep, running for more than ten days in a row, and it is almost gone!" ”

Lu Heng's eyes were awe-inspiring and he nodded.

When he walked to the door of the big tent, Lu Heng lifted the curtain and strode into the dimly lit big tent.

In the wide tent, the three generals Wang Xirang, Hou San, and Zhou Yafu were all there. There was a look of uncertainty on their faces. looked at the Qianniuwei lying on the table, his face like ashes.

At this time, the doctor in the army stood beside the Qianniuwei at a loss, sighing.

"How?" After Lu Heng walked over. I asked the military doctor.

The military doctor's eyes were full of regret, and he looked at the Qianniuwei who was lying on the table, and sighed: "The cold poison is too deep, and it can't be saved!" ”

Lu Heng raised his head and took a deep breath. When I lowered my head, my eyes were already full of coldness. After staring at which Qianniuwei for a long time, he turned his head. Shen Sheng said to the military doctor, "Is there a way to wake him up?" ”

The military doctor hesitated, nodded and said, "Yes, but after using it, I'm afraid it's this brother ......"

"Wake him up!" Lu Heng did not hesitate at all, and said firmly to the military doctor.

The military doctor opened his mouth and raised his head to see the determined and cold gaze of the military advisor. His heart suddenly jumped, and he hurriedly nodded and took the order: "Yes!" ”

Subsequently. The medic lifted up his armor and took out a small package from the cloth bag pressed under the armor. Open it. Inside are rows of silver needles of varying lengths.

After the military doctor took out a few of them, he squatted beside the Qianniuwei. Then the silver needle was placed on the oil lamp and roasted.

After a moment, the military doctor withdrew the silver needle, took a deep breath, and then firmly pinched the silver needle with his fingers and inserted it into the temple of the Qianniuwei.

And so on several times. When the acupuncture points are filled with silver needles. Unconscious. Qianniuwei, whose lips were chapped, screamed in pain. Finally opened his eyes.

I think I've just woken up and my eyes are hazy. The awakening Qianniuwei was stunned for a moment, and glanced around. It wasn't until after a cup of tea that I realized where I was.

Rubbing his eyes, the weak Qianniuwei saw that the scholar in front of him was the emperor he had been looking for for a long time. Tears of excitement filled his eyes.

"The three-grade guards in front of the palace have seen adults!" Qian Niuwei struggled and knelt down with difficulty.

Lu Heng looked at him with a smile on his face, nodded, squatted down, and reached out to help him.

Seeing that Lu Heng was personally supporting him, Qianniuwei hurriedly retreated in panic. He arched his hand and said, "Don't dare to bother your lord!" ”

After taking a few steps back, Qian Niuwei suddenly thought of the task of his trip, and hurriedly stretched out his hand and took out a wax-sealed envelope from his arms. His hands were raised respectfully and presented to Lu Heng.

"Lord Zhang personally told the lower officials to deliver this letter to you personally!" Seeing that Lu Heng took the envelope, a relaxed smile appeared on the face of the guard in front of the palace, and as soon as he opened his mouth to say a word, a trace of black blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Lu Heng took the envelope, and after looking down and seeing the red feather mark drawn on the envelope, as well as Zhang Wenshan's powerful handwriting, his heart suddenly sank.

The red feather represents the highest secret level of the Great Zhou court, and even if it is a military report, it is only a yellow feather. Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the recorded Red Feather Transmission only appeared when there was a major change in the imperial court or when the emperor died.

Don't......

After Lu Heng looked at the blood-like token mark on the envelope, his already restless heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

But then, Lu Heng suppressed the inexplicable but extremely strong uneasiness in his heart. After taking a deep breath, he turned his head and nodded to the soldier whose eyes were full of joy: "Good work!" ”

The soldier smiled, blood gushing out of his mouth. After opening his mouth, his qi was finally cut off, and he fell down weakly.

Lu Heng didn't open it for the first time. Instead, he held the envelope tightly and slowly stood up. Looking at the soldier who was still with his eyes open, as if he wanted to take a look at the desert. After taking a deep breath, he touched his chest with one hand and bent down to give him a military salute in person.

Beside him, Wang Xirang and other generals saw this scene. With a solemn face, he took off his helmet, placed it on his chest, and saluted the soldier in unison.

On the side, the old military doctor looked sad, raised his hand and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. Then he reached out and gently brushed the soldier's face, closing the soldier's eyes.

Subsequently, Agui called two soldiers. carried out the corpse of the Qianniuwei who had delivered the message for thousands of miles.

In the tent, only Lu Heng, A Gui, and Wang Xirang's generals remained.

In the brazier, the charcoal fire was blazing. The flickering flames lit up the whole tent.

The whirring wind, mixed with the crackling sound of the charcoal fire, made the atmosphere in the tent even more solemn and depressing.

Lu Heng looked at the red feather urgent mail with Zhang Wenshan's name in his hand solemnly, and his heart fluctuated like waves.

I hope not!

Lu Heng raised his head and took a deep breath. After shaking the letter tightly in his hand, he said secretly in his heart.

Turning his head and looking at a few worried generals, Lu Heng smiled apologetically and said, "It's not early, tomorrow the army will speed up the journey, you guys retreat first!" ”

Red Feather Urgency, plus Zhang Wenshan's signature. All of this shows the weight of the Epistle.

Moreover, if this content is made public. Lu Heng believed that it would have a great impact on the combat units of the entire northern front.

Moreover, the epistle deals with political changes.

As a soldier, don't be involved in this kind of thing.

The generals obviously also understood the good intentions of the military advisor, and after hearing this, they nodded heavily. Turn and leave.

It's just that, when they walked to the door, the three generals looked at each other, and then turned around in unison. After taking a deep breath, he knelt down on one knee and saluted Lu Heng: "The last general is willing to follow you in front of the saddle and behind the horse, and the liver and brain are all over the ground!" ”

Seeing the military advisor showing such a solemn look, they could obviously guess a thing or two.

It is nothing more than a change in the DPRK and China. Otherwise, there would be no need for a sanpin guard with a knife to deliver the letter. Moreover, coupled with the squinted eyes of the military advisor just now when he saw the letter, the generals were very sensitive to guess the seriousness of this time.

At this time, they made this great gift to Lu Heng and said these words. It is also a clear and clear statement of one's own position.

Seeing that the three generals trusted him so much, Lu Heng was also quite moved in his heart.

After smiling, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's all get up." Things are not what you think! Hurry back to sleep, the army is about to start a large-scale battle, you can give Lao Tzu don't drop the chain when the time comes! ”

When the generals heard this, they laughed, hooked their shoulders and left.

When the voice was far away, only Lu Heng and Ah Gui were left in the room.

"Childe, should I leave too?" Seeing that Gongzi was looking over, Agui smiled and asked frankly.

"You stay!" Lu Heng gave him an angry look.

It's all this time.,It's still cute.。

Ah Gui smiled, scratched his head, and was very honest.

Then, Ah Gui stepped forward and turned on the oil lamp a little. stood beside Lu Heng. Don't squint.

Lu Heng sat down slowly, leaning on the table with one hand. Slowly removed the red feathers from the letter. Slowly open the envelope. The letter was removed.

After opening it and glancing at the letter by the dim light, Lu Heng's face suddenly froze, and his heart cooled.

The hand holding the envelope trembled slightly, then slowly drooped. His eyes wandered as he looked at the flames like beans, his lips trembled, and he muttered, "Sure enough!" ”

On the letter hanging in his hand, there were only eight short words: "Your Majesty is seriously ill, return to the palace quickly!" ”

……

The emperor was sick, and very serious.

The onset was also sudden. Just three days after the victory of Yanmen Pass was transmitted back to Tokyo, in the imperial garden, the emperor who watched the plum blossoms with Zhang Wenshan and others. Suddenly, he fainted and fell to the ground.

At that time, the entire Imperial Garden was in chaos. The concubines wept incessantly, and the palace maids shouted like crazy.

The eunuchs wept and cried, as if the end of the world was coming.

And Zhang Wenshan, who was with the emperor at that time, after seeing His Majesty faint, escorted His Majesty back to the palace and summoned the imperial doctor to come. And then. The first time sent someone to inform General Qianniu Wei Zhonglang. Block messages.

Later, he ordered the criminal department to strictly inspect all parts of the palace, and strictly leaked the news.

Originally, Zhang Wenshan wanted to order the Admiral of Jiumen to blockade Tokyo, and then order Nanying to return to defense. But considering that if you do this, it will be easy to leak the news, so I simply gave up.

Later, after arranging all this, Zhang Wenshan wrote this letter as soon as possible, and sent it to the Lü Heng army in the Turks in the form of a red feather urgent letter.
