Chapter 237: Bai Miao'er's Family Letter

Huang Fu Heng's 150,000 troops crossed the Taihang Mountain from Yiguan and Taihang respectively and entered Changping County, the two armies continued to move north after the convergence of Changping County, marched to Duanshi County, Generalissimo Yang Sheng sent an order from Hanoi County, ordering Li Yan to cross Qinshui to the west to occupy Jiang County, and ordered Qin and Han Wu to go north to occupy Shangdang County, and the two armies were separated again.

Three days later, Li Yan's vanguard of 5,000 people in the south of Qinshui County encountered the ambush of the Yongjun general Shao Jingwen, Li Yanqin led a large army to help, but was sent by Shao Jingwen to send a light cavalry detour to the rear to burn the logistics baggage, Li Yan retreated in a panic, Shao Jingwen took the opportunity to catch up, Li Yan's army was defeated, all the baggage was lost, there were countless surrenderers, the 70,000 army lost more than half, and was forced to retreat to the east of Qinshui, and urgently sent people to Yang Sheng for help, and the Dongning army had a bad start.

When Shao Jingwen killed 10,000 enemies and captured 20,000 enemies. The news of the victory in the first battle reached Yongjing, Uncle Shen was overjoyed, he asked Empress Shen to decree that Shao Jingwen was the prince of Qinshui County, Empress Shen agreed to his request, and rewarded 10,000 taels of silver, and at the same time issued an order to Taichang Temple, and ordered Taichang Temple to organize 10,000 people to beat gongs and drums to celebrate the victory.

The noisy gong and drum band passed through Suzaku Street, and more than 100,000 people on both sides were crowded to see the excitement, and the people of Yongjing could not understand for a while what was worth celebrating about the victory over Luojing, which made them more happy than the victory over the alien race, but it was the surname of the person to see the excitement, and the cheerful and warm atmosphere made them feel like a festival.

A man in black led a horse to pass behind the crowd, he was in a hurry, not bothering to see the bustle, and a quarter of an hour later, the man in black entered Xuanrenfang and found a large mansion.

"Excuse me!"

The man in black arched his hand to the gatekeeper, "Is this Bai Shangshu's mansion?" ”

"Who are you?"

The gatekeeper yawned and said impatiently, the person who came was wearing a black cloth coat, which was the dress of an inferior person, and the gatekeeper really didn't look down on him.

The man in black didn't care about his attitude, and still smiled politely: "I came from Jiangdu, and I was sent by the young lady to send a letter to Bai Shangshu. ”

The gatekeeper finally showed a smile on his face, it turned out that he was sent by the young lady, the young lady is the pearl of the master's palm, and he went to Jiangdu with his newlywed husband half a year ago, and there was no news, and the master was going crazy.

"Look at you, it turned out that you sent a letter from Jiangdu, please wait a moment, I'll go to report it, my lord happens to be at home."

The gatekeeper turned and ran wildly into the house.

....... Bai Shangshu, that is, Bai Mingkai, the secretary of the Criminal Department, he is also the secretary of Dali Temple and the imperial doctor, and is the henchman supported by Queen Shen, Bai Mingkai is about fifty years old this year, his health is not very good, he seems a little sick, he has two sons and a daughter, both sons are outside as officials, not around, and his daughter Bai Miaoer is his only daughter born after he was more than thirty years old, her body is very similar to him, she has been thin since she was a child, she is the pearl of Bai Mingkai's palm, and she grew up in the palm of her hand since she was a child.

Bai Mingkai's wife Cui Shi and Huangfu Yingjun's mother are cousins, it is this relationship, Bai Miaoer has been promised to Huangfu Yingjun since he was a child, but Bai Mingkai does not like Huangfu Yingjun, he has been flying with his royal family since he was a child, but his wife insists on this marriage, his wife's mother's family is very powerful, coupled with the support of Emperor Huangfu Xuande, Bai Mingkai, who was in the criminal department at the time, was helpless.

Bai Mingkai is a Jinshi, he is Su Xun's fellow countryman, but also his protégé, after reading with him for a few years, Bai Mingkai's real fancy son-in-law is Su Xun's second grandson Su Qi, the current Luojing Weapons Supervisor is only twenty-two years old, young and promising, good looks, and Su Xun also intends to marry him, but unfortunately his wife insisted on marrying the imperial family, so that Bai Miaoer finally married the emperor handsome.

Bai Mingkai was in a bad mood in the past two days, he got a news, Huangfu Yingjun was defeated by Huangfu Wujin, fled to Pengcheng County, took refuge in Huangfu Heng, and was named the governor of Pengcheng, this bastard actually used his wife as an excuse to have no children, and openly announced his divorce in the Luojing court, which made Bai Mingkai's chest burst, only half a year after he got married, did he want his weak daughter to give birth to him?

For this matter, Bai Mingkai and his wife quarreled three times in a row, he hated his wife for insisting on marrying his daughter to Huangfu Yingjun, and also hated himself for being incompetent, he was so angry that he even threatened his wife that if his daughter had three long and two short, he would also divorce his wife, and his wife was so frightened by him that she cried and ran back to her parents' house.

Bai Mingkai was extremely worried about his daughter in his heart, first worried about whether his daughter would have an accident in the chaotic army, and even if there was no accident, Huangfu Yingjun divorced her again, so what should his daughter do if she was alone outside? He had already sent people to Luo Jing and Peng Cheng to look for his daughter.

Bai Mingkai was very depressed in his heart, he was reading a book in the room, and he was not in the mood at all about Shao Jingwen's victory in Jinzhou.

At this time, a rush of footsteps came, and the housekeeper's voice changed, "Master, Miss has news!" ”

Bai Ming stood up and was surprised, "What news!" ”

"There is a person from outside the house, saying that the young lady sent a letter!"

Bai Mingkai shouted anxiously, "Don't hurry up and invite him in, give me the letter quickly!" ”

The housekeeper rushed away again, Bai Mingkai was anxious and happy, and went straight in the study, and the letter from his daughter at least showed that his daughter was still alive, as long as his daughter was alive, this was better than anything.

After a while, the housekeeper led the man in black into the study, and the man in black saluted him, "I am ordered by Miss Bai to send a letter to the master!" ”

He took out a thick letter from his arms and handed it to Bai Mingkai, Bai Mingkai glanced at the man, and was a little suspicious in his heart, this man was like a soldier, and he had never seen him.

But now he did not bother to question the messenger, and when he saw the handwriting on the envelope, which was written by his daughter, who had been worried all night, he opened the letter tremblingly, and read it impatiently.

Looking at it, tears rolled down from his eyes, his baby daughter was so abused by that bastard, and was beaten by him, openly brought home to insult, and finally left her alone in the chaos and fled by herself, these experiences of his daughter simply made Bai Mingkai feel painful.

The man in black next to him saw that he was out of shape in front of outsiders, and he secretly sighed in his heart, "Sure enough, he loves his daughter and is a good father." ’

Bai Mingkai wiped away his tears and continued to read the letter, but when the letter was finished, he was taken aback, his daughter was now in Jiangning Liangwangfu, although he also knew that Princess Liang was Su Xun's granddaughter Jiutian, and she had a good relationship with her daughter since she was a child, but her daughter lived in Liangwangfu, if you let Uncle Shen know, he would definitely impeach himself, this is not good.

The man in black seemed to know Bai Mingkai's worries, he bowed and said, "Please rest assured Bai Shangshu, Miss lives in Liangwang Mansion very safely, she is in a good mood, and she is also very secretive, absolutely no one knows." ”

"Who are you?" Bai Mingkai finally remembered to ask this person.

The man in black said respectfully: "My surname is Yu, and I am the personal guard of His Royal Highness King Liang." ”

"Humph! Is Huangfu Wujin taking my daughter hostage? Bai Mingkai snorted heavily.

The man in black said unhurriedly: "It is Princess Liang's decision to take Miss Bai to Liangwang's Mansion, and it is also Miss Bai's own willingness, King Liang was not in Jiangning during that time, but in Donghai County and Yuhang County, he only knew about it afterwards, and as long as Bai Shangshu is willing, His Royal Highness King Liang can immediately send someone to send Miss Bai back to Yongjing." ”

"Forget it, it's up to her to decide whether she will come back or not."

Bai Mingkai is not stupid at all, he can see from the letter that his daughter is doing well now, and he also believes that Princess Liang can protect her daughter, and he knows very well in his heart that if his daughter returns to Yongjing and passes through the area controlled by Huangfuheng on the way, it will be very dangerous, and he doesn't want his daughter to take this risk again.

He groaned, and always felt that he should express his gratitude to Huangfu Wujin, but he couldn't pull down this face, after all, Huangfu Wujin was loyal to Luojing, how to say that they were also hostile countries.

The man in black smiled and said: "My lord, please don't worry, King Liang is not really loyal to Luo Jing, and he is not an enemy of Yongjing, His Royal Highness King Liang asked me to tell my lord, as long as my lord doesn't say it, no one will know that Miss Bai is in King Liang's mansion." ”

Bai Mingkai was helpless in his heart, he had to sigh and said: "Then please tell His Royal Highness King Liang that his kindness to my daughter, I Bai Mingkai remember." ”

He then commanded, "Someone! ”

The housekeeper agreed at the door, "Master, is there something wrong?" ”

"Go and fetch five hundred taels of silver."

The housekeeper went, but the black clothes smiled and said: "My lord, no need, I will stay in Yongjing in the future, if you want to know the news of Miss Bai, you can go to Pingkangfang Chufeng Tea House to find me, in Xia Yu Yongqing, will be the second manager of Fengchu Tea House." ”

After speaking, he gave a salute and left, Bai Mingkai breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, for more than a month, the big stone that had been pressing in his heart finally disappeared, his mood became happy, he stood up and ordered: "Prepare a car for me, I want to go to Cui Mansion!" ”

Now he needs to get his wife back, and he can forgive her only if her daughter is safe.

....... Located in Pingkangfang, Chufeng Tea House is one of the three major tea houses in Yongjing, originally called Luo Ji Tea House, is the industry of Luo Xuan, a big businessman in Shuzhou, sold a few months ago, and is now renamed Chufeng Tea House, you can guess by listening to the name, the person who bought this tea house is Qi Fengwu, she decided to set up Jin Fuji Commercial Bank to do business, but her energy was to help Wu Jin occupy Chuzhou tax silver, but her business was delayed, basically did nothing.

But except for tea, she once bought 400,000 quintals of tea from Baifu Commercial Bank at a low price, and has been operating tea, not only buying tea estates in several big cities in the north, but also buying thousands of acres of tea plantations in Xuancheng County, these things were done before she married Wujin.

And now, the tea shop she opened is favored by Wu Jin, and she is ready to use them as her intelligence base in Liangjing.

At noon, Yu Yongqing came out of Baifu to deliver a letter, and led his horse to Chufeng Tea House in Pingkangfang.
