Three thousand people sink into the sea, there is no news at all, from last night to noon, there are not many people in Datong City waiting for news, as soon as there is a wind and grass, it can immediately make people can't help but stand up their hairs, but when they learn that it is just an ordinary scout back to the city, many people can't help but let go of their hearts. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In order to plan the operation at night, the scouts from all walks of life have been ordered not to go to Baigou to investigate, only saying that there, the chief soldier has personally led people to patrol the border, so those scouts who have entered and exited Datong have not brought back any news.

Zhao Gonggong has not slept all night, has always been soulless, when it is close to noon, pinching his fingers and roughly feeling that there should be news back, after all, according to the agreement, at dawn this day the chief officer Wang Fen can lead people to catch up with the enemy, the surprise attack will not take long, at most half an hour can roughly solve the battle, and at this time, Wang Fen should send someone back to inform the sound is, the fast horse from Baigou to Datong is only three hours away, and it should be here now.

But there was still no news, although I sent people to the north gate to ask seven or eight times, but the north gate shook their heads.

Is something wrong?

Or did something happen halfway through?

Zhao Gonggong is really in a hurry, this is not fun, if something happens, it will kill someone, and it will be his head that will fall.

In the flower hall, Zhao Gonggong was spinning around, and Fan Yong also sent someone to ask, Zhao Gonggong couldn't help but be angry, and said in a throat: "It's all you who have eaten lard and blinded your heart to instigate the miscellaneous family to do such a thing of killing a thousand knives, but now you come to ask the miscellaneous family, and the miscellaneous family asks who to go?" ”

The person who came was Fan Yong's confidant, so he had to respond resignedly, and he didn't dare to fight back.

Gonggong Zhao was angry, knowing that it was useless to scold at this time, this military order had his share, and he couldn't deny it, so he had to shake his head irritably, and then said: "Or, send some scouts to take a look, maybe you can find out some news?" ”

Later, I felt that it was inappropriate, and at this time I sent scouts, it seemed that I couldn't hold my breath, and the less people knew about this kind of thing, the better, if it was spread by these scouts, it would not be good. So he touched his smooth chin, squinted and said, "It's still not necessary, go back and tell your master, I'm afraid that the news will be delivered at about this time, and wait." ”

Sent people away, but Zhao Gonggong was a little unnatural, things were a little abnormal, there was no movement now, something was not quite right, the time was pinched well, could something really go wrong.

Zhao Gonggong was taken aback by his thoughts, and then hurriedly said to himself, no, no, how can the elite soldiers of the three thousand border towns not even be able to deal with the caravan, although they have a lot of guards, but compared to the elite soldiers of the border towns, they are far behind, not to mention that the enemy is in the dark and in the dark, and at dawn they will attack and kill the past, even if they change the Tile Thorns, they will be finished.

Although he thought so, Gonggong Zhao was still a little uneasy, so he called someone and ordered: "Prepare a sedan chair, and the miscellaneous family will go to the governor's yamen." ”

He really couldn't sit still, but that Zuo Qiu Ming has always been deep, maybe he can talk to him and feel at ease.

Besides, Wang Fen is his Zuoqiu Ming's person, and even if there is news, most of them will be sent to the governor's yamen first, and it is better to wait there.

Got on the sedan chair, to the side of the governor's yamen, the yamen officer saw that Zhao Gonggong was coming and did not dare to stop him, so he had to greet him with a smile, and at the same time he entered the main hall of the yamen, and there happened to be a few hall officials in this hall who had nothing to do and chatted together. Especially these officials, after all, usually the governor will send a note if he has any orders, so that they can know, who knows that last night, they also learned this morning that the general army suddenly went out of the city to patrol the border, which is very strange. Therefore, everyone chatted left and right, and said: "Is there any urgent military situation, and the Tile Thorns have committed a crime?" This is also not right, if it is a border offense, it is impossible to be so hasty, the military order is to patrol the border, not rescue. ”

"But it's not impossible to go out for a round as usual in previous years, but isn't this something to be known in advance?"

"This military order is indeed too urgent, maybe Lord Futai has other considerations."

When Zhao Gonggong came in, he happened to hear it, his face immediately fell, and he coughed with a black face, and the officials couldn't help but feel strange when they saw him coming, this is strange, the eunuch who guarded the town has never had much contact with Lord Futai? Why are you here today?

In fact, few of the overseers and governors are harmonious, not that they are born with incompatible surnames, but as an important boss in a province, if you have a little more power, I will have a little less profit, and both sides have conflicts of interest. In addition, if the governor and the prison army get too close, it is inevitable that there will be doubts.

Therefore, there has always been no contact between Zhao Gonggong and Zuo Qiu Ming, not to mention that everyone tries to minimize contact on official business, not to mention that the eunuchs who guard the town come to the governor's yamen to visit the door.

After a brief period of astonishment, the officials still got up and saluted Zhao Gonggong, who just nodded, and then walked through the hall and went directly into the back hall.

Zuo Qiu Ming is calmly dealing with the official business on the case, hearing someone say that Zhao Gonggong is coming, his face also shows a little displeasure, this surname Zhao is really unbearable, but although he said so in his heart, in fact, he Zuo Qiu Ming may not be much better, he is calm on the surface, but he didn't sleep well last night, and when he woke up in the morning, he felt a little confused, and always couldn't help but think of Baigou, but he has always boasted that his kung fu is good, and he is afraid of doing something to make people suspicious, So simply ask someone to send some backlog books from previous years, and look at them with or without a match.

Father-in-law Zhao came, Zuo Qiu Ming was no matter how unhappy he was, and he couldn't slack off, so he hurriedly asked Father-in-law Zhao to sit down, pushed the book aside, and asked someone to serve tea.

Gonggong Zhao sat down, glanced at Zuo Qiu Ming, then smiled, and said with a smile: "Lord Zuo's official business is busy enough, but the miscellaneous family came at the wrong time." ”

Zuo Qiu Ming waved his hand: "Father-in-law Zhao is here, this governor's yamen is full of brilliance, and the old man is just looking at some of the backlog cases in previous years, not to mention that he is not busy, and his father-in-law can come, just to talk to the old man." ”

He asked Zhao Gonggong to speak, and Zhao Gonggong really opened his mouth straight to the point, took a sip of the tea handed over, and said slowly: "I don't know if there is any news from Baigou?" ”

Zuo Qiu Ming reluctantly calmed himself down and said, "There is no news, what, could it be that Gonggong Zhao already has news." ”

Zhao Gonggong smiled bitterly, he was here to ask him, but he asked himself. Shaking his head, he said: "There is no miscellaneous family over there, hey, the soldiers have not seen any news when they go out of the city, and they really worry about it, if they encounter the enemy, how can they live, and this time it is Wang Zongbing who personally leads the team, and it is not fun to have an accident." ”

At first glance, there is nothing taboo about this, but Zuo Qiu Ming knew what Zhao Gonggong was metaphorizing, and he was silent for a long time, and then said: "Father-in-law, don't worry, patrolling the border is a common practice, this time Wang Fen set off, and he took the elite soldiers with him, and there will be no mistakes." I'm afraid that because of something, it may not be delayed. ”

Gonggong Zhao had no choice but to nod and said worriedly: "I hope so." ”

The two of them talked for half an hour, but there was still no news. At this time, not only Zhao Gonggong, but also Zuo Qiu Ming couldn't help but write anxiety on his face, Wang Fen's surname is not unknown to him, although this person has no talent, but he is a cautious and cautious person, his own orders, he will definitely obey, everyone has already agreed to send a fast horse back to Datong to report back to Datong immediately after the matter is completed, but this is all in the afternoon, why has the news not come to report quickly?

Gonggong Zhao was also anxious, and couldn't help but say: "Lord Zuo, this matter is strange, is it more auspicious?" ”

Zuo Qiu Ming had a gloomy face and said, "No, what kind of trouble can go wrong with such a trivial matter as patrolling the border, no." After a long time, he called an errand and said, "Go to the north gate to have a look, supervise the north gate guard, and ask why our men and horses patrolling the border have not sent any news back." ”

The errand replied, and quickly went to the north gate, and Zhao Gonggong and Zuo Qiu Ming could only continue to wait here, Zhao Gonggong felt that it was not a way to do this, but he didn't have any ideas for a while, and seeing that there was no one around him, he finally opened the skylight and said brightly, and said: "Lord Zuo, you say something accurate, is this really sure?" One is not good, this is rebellion. ”

Zuo Qiu Ming himself couldn't get the news, where did he answer, but said perfunctorily: "What's the use of Gonggong Zhao saying so much now?" The top priority is to wait for the news to come. ”

Zhao Gonggong said compassionately: "What is Lord Zuo's words?" Of course, the miscellaneous family is in a hurry, did you cut your eggs and enter the palace to be accused of rebellion? ”

He was also in a hurry, and he didn't even have a politeness, so he went straight to the foul language.

Zuo Qiu Ming wanted to say that he was sweeping the floor, but after thinking about it, he was either a scholar or a eunuch, and what was there to talk about, so he ignored him and went to take the book and read it absent-mindedly.

Zhao Gonggong saw that he ignored himself, so he had no choice but to be dumbfounded, he wanted to leave, but he was afraid that he would not be able to get the news first, so he delayed the time, but if he didn't leave, he would inevitably be a little embarrassed, looking at this Zuo Qiu Ming, he sneered in his heart, so he had to sit and wait.
