Chapter 502: Guanke
It was midnight, and the groomer had just passed by on the street, and the road was quiet. But the street is not very dark.
The Anguo Mansion is simple and majestic, occupying half of the street, and lanterns are hung on the gate and side gates, and the lights are projected on the street, shining with warm light again and again. In the middle of the night, there are naturally no pedestrians, and occasionally another wild cat quietly passes by under the lamp. The young guard on duty changed his position, and his saber touched the hilt of his companion next to him, making a soft click.
"Tired, aren't you?" The slightly older companion asked.
"Not tired." The young guard smiled and shook his head: "It's much easier to be on duty here than in the palace, what are you tired of." Stand overnight and go back on a business trip. ”
"Yes." The slightly older companion nodded: "It's just a show, and you don't need to be like when you were in the palace, you have to pay attention to the surrounding movements at all times and stay vigilant." ”
"It's a pity that such a light and good errand is only a few days away." The young guard smiled: "It doesn't take long to go back and forth to the north, the emperor has clearly decreed that there will be no delay, Jin Lingwei's escort must go very fast, I guess it will be possible to arrive in twenty days at most, even if you walk slower on the way back, this time and again, at most two months, the guards of the Anguo Mansion will all come back." We have to go back to the palace on an errand honestly. ”
"Not necessarily," the older guard replied with a smile, "Maybe those Golden Feather Guards ......."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly paused, and the two guards turned their heads together to look in the direction of the side door of the Anguo Mansion. The black lacquered wooden door was suddenly opened in the middle of the night, making a creaking sound, which was particularly harsh in the quiet night.
"What's going on?" The two guards were immediately alert, they had just stepped over to take a look, but they heard the sound of horses' hooves, and several fast horses came out of the side gate of Anguo one after another, one by one hanging horse lanterns, and ran in different directions along the street.
"What's going on?" The two guards immediately ran down the street in the direction of the side gate of the Anguo Mansion, wanting to see what was going on.
The young guard who was running in front suddenly stopped, and when he walked to the gate, he just caught up with Mu Hongsheng and Mr. Wu riding out. The matter was urgent, Mu Hongshang didn't want to dress up like usual when she went out late at night, she was wearing a homely beard skirt that she had hurriedly changed into before, her hair was simply combed into braids at the back of her head, she had no hairpin ring jewelry, and she didn't wear a hood and cloak.
But the young guards of Yoi Jinwei still did not recognize this young and bright face as a man. The young guard looked at Mu Hongsheng who ran by like a gust of wind in surprise, and turned his head and pulled his companion: "Look! Female! That's not the eldest lady of the Anguo Mansion. ”
"Definitely, do you need to ask?" The slightly older guard immediately replied: "There is only one woman who can ride a horse in the middle of the night and ride so well." She has been practicing horse riding with her brothers since she was a child. ”
"Why did the eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion go out in the middle of the night, and she didn't bring a maid, but she still rode a horse." The young guard was a little panicked for a moment, and immediately rushed up again: "This is something big. ”
The two Xiaojinwei officers hurriedly ran to the side gate of the Anguo Mansion, and just happened to see the head of the Mu family standing by the door in person, carrying a lantern in his hand, holding the lantern for the knights who went out one after another.
Seeing two officers wearing the uniform soft armor of the night gold guard coming, the chief steward didn't wait for them to ask questions at all, and said directly to the two: "The two adults are here just in time, Madame has an invitation, please come in with me." "Tsinghua
The two guards looked at each other, and they looked at the solemn face of the head of the Anguo Mansion, and they already had an ominous premonition in their hearts.
When Officer Xiao Jinwei followed the chief manager into the door, Mu Hongsheng and his staff Mr. Wu were already rushing to Jiang's mansion. At the same time, Mr. Sun and Mr. Chen also rode to the house of Shang Shu of the Military Department. And the rest of the staff of the Mu family were also busy going out, going to the house of the important ministers of the DPRK and the central government to knock on the door overnight to spread the news.
It was the eldest lady and the staff and gentlemen who went out overnight, and the servants who went out to run errands on weekdays in the Anguo Mansion stayed at home. One by one, they were already fully dressed, although they were ready to go out at the order of the Duchess of Anguo.
It's hard to walk at night, but it's easy to walk. There was no one on the road, Mu Hongshang hurried up, but in the time of a stick of incense, he had already arrived at the door of Master Jiang's house. Mr. Wu dismounted, stretched out his hand directly to call the door without paying attention, and in the middle of the night, he slammed the gate of Jiang's mansion with a loud noise. Such a big movement, of course, quickly alarmed the subordinates of the Jiang Mansion, and the servants of the porter hurriedly got up to answer the door.
The servant who was awakened in the middle of the night originally looked unhappy, but after asking who called the door through the door, his sleepiness was suddenly frightened.
The eldest lady of Anguo Mansion came to the door in the middle of the night, which also frightened Jiang Shilang and his wife. Jiang Shilang hurriedly got dressed and ran to the front hall with his shoes on, and Madame Jiang was also too frightened to sleep anymore, she hurriedly got dressed, and sent someone to the front hall to listen to the news with a worried face.
Jiang Shilang knew that if it wasn't for an emergency, the Anguo Mansion would definitely not let the eldest lady who had not left the pavilion go out in the middle of the night, so he was already mentally prepared before he arrived in the front hall. However, he didn't expect that the news brought by Mu Hongshang still caught him off guard.
When Mu Hongshang gave him the bloody rag, Jiang Wenbin was instantly stunned. Mu Hongshang did not delay, she told Mr. Sun what happened tonight to Jiang Shilang one by one according to Mr. Sun's instructions, and then handed over Mr. Sun's letter.
Jiang Shilang stretched out his hand like a puppet and took the letter in Mu Hongsheng's hand, he couldn't successfully digest the bad news brought by Mu Hongsheng at all, his head seemed to be a mess of knots, and he couldn't sort it out, he only felt that his temples were swollen one after another.
What happened to the fifth and sixth sons of the Mu family? How could it be! If something happens to the children, what about the military supplies that are sent to the north? What is ...... called? Not a Rongdi person??
Jiang Shilang lowered his head and carefully read Mr. Sun's urgent letter, hoping that the opportunity to read the letter would clear his mind as soon as possible.
Escort...... Rongdi people......
Jiang Shilang vaguely felt that these words seemed to be familiar together, and a thought seemed to flash in his mind, but he couldn't grasp it. What is it exactly?
The blood book sent by the sixth prince has the word trap written on it, if it is a trap, who is this aimed at?
Is it against the Muhammad generals in the north? Or is it against Jin Lingwei, who is in charge of escorting Jin Lingwei? Or is it against the military department? Tobe? Or is it something else......
Jiang Shilang frowned, thinking carefully, hoping to grasp the key to the problem as soon as possible.
