Zhu Youcheng's mind turned, and he stretched out his hand and said, "Put the order in my hand." ”

He heard a snicker, and his hand sank. When he turned his head, he saw that there was a person in his hand, Tu Wenfu, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor's palm print. Zhu Youcheng hurriedly added a hand and gently put Tu Wenfu down. After this toss, Tu Wenfu's face turned a little blue.

Zhu Youcheng was angry and said, "What are you doing here?" ”

The guards laughed and replied, "Didn't your lord say to put the order in your hands?" This time, the 800-mile expedited delivery was Tu Wenfu Tu's father-in-law, we had to put Tu's father-in-law in your hands. ”

Tu Wenfu rubbed his buttocks and said, "It's okay, the young man is joking, the champion is strong in martial arts, and the old man is not injured." ”

Zhu Youcheng saw that he had been rubbing his buttocks, and asked with concern, "Did you accidentally hurt your father-in-law just now?" Do you want to take some medicinal wine and rub it in? ”

"The medicinal wine must be used for rubbing. However, although our buttocks injury is indeed related to Lord Zhu, it is not directly caused by Lord Zhu. There was a big incident in the capital, and the emperor urgently summoned Lord Zhu back to Beijing to discuss. Originally, he wanted to send a brocade guard to come over to deliver the decree, but he was afraid that Lord Zhu would not believe it, so he had to choose a father-in-law from the palace who was known to the adults to deliver the decree. Tu Wenfu smiled bitterly, "My lord knows many fathers-in-law in the palace, but only one of our family is the imperial horse supervisor." As a result, this heavy responsibility fell on our family's head. Eight hundred miles are urgent, all the way along the post station, and the horses are not stopped. I left Beijing in the morning and arrived in Cangzhou in the evening. I originally wanted to rest in Cangzhou, and then take Lord Zhu back to the capital the next morning. Unexpectedly, Lord Zhu actually went all the way south and hit Nanpi. Our family chased to Nanpi, and you arrived at this dock fort again. Thanks to this gang of bandits making trouble in Cangzhou, if the scope is a little larger, we are afraid that we will not chase it to Guangzhou. Let's be honest, though. Lord Zhu is really powerful, the battle is fought so fast. Where are you fighting, it's clear that you're bullying the chaotic people. Look, it's been a bump all the way, our ass ......"

Zhu Youcheng laughed and asked someone to bring a bottle of medicinal wine. Handed it over. He suddenly remembered something and asked, "The southern part of Cangzhou is occupied by the rebels, is there still a post station?" Where did you change the horse? ”

"You don't understand that. The post station is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, and delaying the transmission of information is subject to military law. Cangzhou was in chaos, and the stationmaster immediately hid with his men and horses. As soon as the army of adults to quell the chaos arrives, and the chaos is quelled, the post station contact in one place will be restored immediately. So our family can catch up with the watchtower, thanks to the adult's counterinsurgency. My lord. It's the middle of the night, and it's not easy for us to leave. As soon as it dawns tomorrow morning, we will immediately leave for the capital. The emperor can wait for you in the palace. ”

Zhu Youcheng nodded and seized the time to rest.

The next day, before dawn, Tu Wenfu came over to urge. Zhu Youcheng arranged the withdrawal of the army, and did not need to be early, so he took two guards on the road back to Beijing. He didn't ride the yellow horse. Now it's eight hundred miles expedited, and Rao is a yellow horse Shenjun. I have to die of exhaustion. The rules of the post station are to change horses, and Zhu Youcheng was reluctant to give the yellow horse to the post station, so he rode an ordinary horse casually.

Whipping all the way north, speeding up the horse, traveling more than 30 miles, Tu Wenfu pointed to a dilapidated compound in front of him. said: "Master Zhu, let's change horses here." ”

I saw that the houses in this courtyard had basically been destroyed. The non-mud bandits have a deep hatred for the Ming government agencies, and when they see this asset belonging to the state, how can they let it go? Everything on the house that can be demolished has basically been demolished. Those that could not be dismantled have been destroyed.

A group of people are busy on the house. Some people are installing tiles, some people are installing doors and windows, and some people are painting, no matter what they do, they are all radiant and full of hopeful smiles on their faces. Yes, the bandits are gone, and the next step is to rebuild a happy life.

Tu Wenfu's guards rushed into the post station and shouted: "Eight hundred miles of urgency, change for six good horses!" ”

A middle-aged man greeted him and said, "Is it the adult who asked us to prepare the horses yesterday?" We're ready to go, just waiting for the adults to come and change horses. ”

After checking that the seal was correct in the hands of the guards, the stationmaster instructed the soldiers to bring out six horses. Zhu Youcheng and the others turned over and dismounted, took off the saddle on the original horse, and replaced it with a new horse. Originally, there was no need to disassemble the saddle for 800 miles, but Zhu Youcheng and others had deer bags on the saddle, and they were afraid of losing things if they didn't change the saddle, so they still took the trouble to change the saddle when changing horses.

The stationmaster looked at Zhu Youcheng dressed in the armor of the Jinyi Guard, and he was young, his heart moved, and asked, "This general, do you know Zhu Youcheng who recovered Nanpi County?" ”

Before Zhu Youcheng could answer, the guard interjected: "I really have eyes and don't know gold and jade, and the people standing in front of you are Zhu Youcheng and Lord Zhu, the envoys of Jinyi Weixi Town, and Master Zhu." ”

The stationmaster's face was excited, and he bowed to Zhu Youcheng and said, "Thank you, Lord Zhu......"

Because it was an eight-hundred-mile rush, Zhu Youcheng nodded slightly, and then got on the horse and left. Looking back, the stationmaster was still bowing.

Tu Wenfu asked, "Does this stationmaster have an old relationship with you?" ”

"Do you think people who know me will still ask around, do you know Zhu Youcheng?"

"Then why did he bow deeply to you? Our family has done good deeds for so many years, repairing bridges and repairing countless roads, but we have never received such sincere gratitude. Tu Wenfu was a little jealous.

"Maybe he has relatives in Nanpi County, and they happened to be rescued by this official; Maybe his relatives were harmed by the mud, and I avenged him...... Who knows, anyway, it's inseparable from the recovery of Nanpi. ”

Along the way, the devastated Cangzhou is gradually regaining its vitality, with farmers working hard in the fields and the innocent and happy laughter of children in the village.

Zhu Youcheng's face couldn't help but soften a lot.

This is the Ming Dynasty, this is the people of the Ming Dynasty. The people of the Ming Dynasty are kind and hardworking, and as long as there is a peaceful environment, they will create one miracle after another. Zhu Youcheng secretly decided to protect this peace for the Ming Dynasty, even if he sacrificed his life for it.

Passing through Cangzhou, the group did not enter the city. The roads in the city are crooked and densely populated, and it is not easy to walk. Since it is an eight-hundred-mile rush, there is no need to enter the city to delay time.

Zhu Youcheng looked back at Cangzhou City, only to see that the city gate was wide open, and there were only a few soldiers guarding the city wall, and there was no trace of the battle. Recalling that three days ago, the vicious battle under the city of Cangzhou was like a world away.

At this time, Cangzhou City came out and rode out and shouted to stop Zhu Youcheng, it turned out to be Cangzhou Garrison Lu Ping.

Tu Wenfu's guards showed an urgent seal of eight hundred miles, but Lu Ping said to Zhu Youcheng: "Lord Zhu, please step back and tell your lord that there are 100,000 urgent matters." ”

Zhu Youcheng saw Lu Ping's solemn expression, so he took Lu Ping to a remote corner.

Lu Ping asked straight to the point: "My lord, did you pass by Wu Zhuangzi Village a few days ago?" ”

"Yes, we also fought the first battle into Cangzhou there, and annihilated more than 500 bandits. What, what's the problem? ”

"Ahem, my lord also knows that Cangzhou Mansion is under the management of Hejian Mansion. After Cangzhou was pacified, Hejian Prefecture sent people to Cangzhou to investigate the riots. An official saw a large grave near the village of Wu Zhuangzi and opened it to reveal 431 headless dead bodies. Lord Xu and I already knew that Lord Zhu had fought there, so we told him what happened. The adult seemed to be particularly interested in the corpse, and studied it there for a long time. ”

"Oh, there are so many Cangzhou people who need to be comforted, they don't care, they really have enough leisure to pick up the dead bodies."

The official studied and studied, and finally came to a conclusion, saying that Lord Zhu had killed the prisoner and was going to write a chapter to impeach him. Master Xu and I persuaded hard, and asked the people of Wu Zhuangzi Village to show up and tell the story to confirm the ferocity of the bandits. But the lord was very stubborn, and the two of us tried to persuade him to no avail. It happened that I was on duty on the city tower, and when I saw the adults passing by Cangzhou, I rushed out to report the news, hoping that the adults would prepare early. ”

Zhu Youcheng's face was gloomy, and he met Tu Wenfu.

Tu Wenfu saw that Zhu Youcheng had an uncertain look on his face and asked the reason.

Zhu Youcheng knew that Tu Wenfu was Wei Zhongxian's confidant and had a good relationship with him, so he told him the truth.

Tu Wenfu was so angry that he scolded: "These cowards, when Cangzhou was besieged, where did they go?" When the world was peaceful, they fell five and six of them. Don't be afraid, our family will stand up for you. I'm going to report what I've seen and heard along the way to the emperor, but I don't believe it, it's a sin to kill a few bandits who have done a lot of evil. ”

Tu Wenfu's words made Zhu Youcheng feel quite comforted, he rolled his eyes, counted in his heart, nodded and called a guard, and said a few words in his ear.

The guard nodded, and turned his horse's head back and forth.

The group urged the horses to raise their whips and continue to move forward, after all, it was eight hundred miles to step up, and the post station prepared good horses for them, and the six or seven hundred miles of road only took one day and one night.

When I arrived in Beijing, it was not yet dawn and the city gate had not yet been opened. Tu Wenfu shouted at the door, showed the seal, the door "squeaked" opened, and the group rushed to the capital. (To be continued!)
