Chapter 129: Lord Chu Du entered the capital at night
Liu Chen's face naturally showed a look of intent, their current situation is quite bad, although they are talking about fighting everywhere, but the grain, grass, and ordnance that can be collected are getting less and less, if this continues, I am afraid that even if the officers and soldiers do not come to besiege, their team will also collapse because of the lack of food.
"Brother, we ......"
Liu Chong, who had a solemn expression, glared at Liu Chen, looked at the green-shirted scribe, and saw the green-shirted scribe brushing his beard, with a bamboo on his chest, and he was determined by their brother's posture, Liu Pet suddenly laughed, and this laughter made the green-shirted scribe's face show a little puzzled.
Even Liu Chen looked at his brother suspiciously, not knowing what was going on with his brother.
The next moment, Liu Pet shouted in a deep voice: "Come on, take this person down for me!" ”
"What?"
Liu Zixi, the green-shirted scribe who volunteered to persuade Liu Liu and Liu Qi's brothers, listened to Liu Chong's words at this time, and his eyes almost popped out, and he looked at Liu Chong in disbelief and exclaimed.
The volunteer soldiers guarding outside the tent immediately rushed in and arrested Liu Zixi, who was tied up like a dumpling, and Liu Zixi, who was tied up like a dumpling, lay on the ground and said angrily at Liu Pet: "Liu Pet, what do you mean, don't you know that this is your opportunity?" You must know that if you can't find a way to get food and weapons, you won't be able to support it for a long time. ”
While reasoning with Liu Chong, he didn't forget to threaten: "Let me go quickly, otherwise when the officials and soldiers are killed, your brothers will die without a place to be buried!" ”
Liu Pet waved his hand and signaled his subordinates to take Liu Zixi down first, and the big tent suddenly quieted down, and Liu Chen looked at Liu Pet with a puzzled expression at this time and said: "Brother, how did you take down this person, in this way, how can we get grain and weapons!" ”
Glancing at Liu Chen, Liu Pet sneered and said, "These literati have more eyes than anything else, you don't think that such a good thing will really fall on us!" ”
Liu Chen was shocked and said, "What, does he dare to lie to us?" ”
Liu Chong's eyes flashed with coldness and said: "It's impossible to lie to us, after all, we are not stupid, about Chu Yi's news, we only need to send someone to inquire to know, so the other party will not lie to us on this point." ”
"Then they ......"
Liu Pet grinned, and said with a little hideousness: "Don't they want me to kill Chu Yi, Lao Tzu just won't kill him, but the grain and ordnance, Lao Tzu is going to decide!" ”
Liu Chen's face was stunned, and in a blink of an eye, Liu Chen patted his thigh and said with a light in his eyes: "What the eldest brother said makes sense, then Chu Yi must be a hard bone, they want our brother to pull out their teeth for them, but this person is really stupid, he actually exposed the location of the grain and ordnance." ”
Liu Pet nodded and said: "Yes, if there is no accident, there will definitely be grain and weapons in Cangzhou, why should we take Chu Yi's head, we can take our brothers to grab it directly!" ”
Liu Chen said excitedly: "Then what should I do with this person, do you want to kill it!" ”
Liu Pet groaned, and a strange smile flashed in his eyes: "No, we can give him to Chu Yi, the overseer of the East Factory!" ”
Listening to his brother's words, Liu Chen opened his mouth wide, but his eyes were full of excitement, and then he couldn't help laughing.
Here, Chu Yi escorted the gold and silver to Cangzhou, and it was only a few hundred miles away from Jingshi.
That night, the team set up camp to rest, a figure quietly sneaked into the camp, a strange birdsong sounded, Cao Shaoqin's figure appeared outside the big tent, and saw a figure of Dongchang Fanzi appear to Cao Shaoqin and saluted: "Meet your lordship, the secret decree of the Son of Heaven!" ”
Cao Shaoqin took the secret decree from the other party's hand and entered the camp tent and said to Chu Yi: "Governor, Your Majesty's secret decree." ”
Chu Yi's heart moved, he took the secret decree and opened it, was slightly stunned, and then sighed lightly: "Your Majesty, why bother!" ”
Cao Shaoqin was stunned for a moment and said suspiciously: "Overseer, Your Majesty is ...... him"
He handed the secret decree to Cao Shaoqin and said, "You immediately quietly order a few people from Dongchang to set off with me." ”
Cao Shaoqin couldn't help but look incredulous when he saw the secret decree and said: "Your Majesty actually ordered the overseer to be in charge of the ceremonial supervisor and the imperial horse supervisor......
Chu Yi said lightly: "The most important thing is that below, Your Majesty has already filmed Zhang Yong leading one of the Tengxiang Four Guards all the way over, and he has already made a noise." ”
Cao Shaoqin said excitedly: "Your Majesty really loves the overseer, and on the surface, he asked Zhang Yong to lead Tengxiang Siwei out of Beijing to greet the overseer, but in fact, it attracted everyone's attention, but secretly ordered the overseer to return to Beijing quietly, but I am afraid that when the overseer returns to the capital, everyone will be surprised!" ”
Chu Yi nodded slowly and said, "Since Your Majesty has already set up the stage in a hidden way, then we can't disappoint Your Majesty." ”
Soon, Shi Kui, Fang Li, Qi Hu and several other Chu Yi's henchmen were recruited, and everyone was extremely excited to learn of the Son of Heaven's arrangement.
However, in comparison, what a few people care about the most is that Zhu Houzhao handed over the two most powerful departments, the master of ceremonies and the imperial horse supervisor, to Chu Yi to take charge, and one person is in charge of the ceremonial supervisor and the imperial horse supervisor, which is absolutely rare, and it has never appeared in the Ming Dynasty.
Chu Yi is soaring, and the Son of Heaven is favored, so those of them who are attached to Chu Yi will naturally rise to the top.
I only heard Chu Yi cough lightly, and his eyes swept over everyone: "Shi Kui, Fang Li, Chu Fang, the three of you stay, and cooperate with Gao Feng to escort the gold and silver to the Beijing Division, especially General Shi Kui, the guards of the gold and silver must be our own people, even Gao Feng's people are not allowed to approach the convoy." ”
Shi Kui said solemnly: "Although the overseer can rest assured, the end will be guaranteed by the head of the item, and the people are in the silver!" ”
With a slight bow, Chu Yi's gaze fell on Fang Li and said, "Fang Li, you are resourceful and good at arguing, if there is any accident on the way, you can discuss it with General Shi Kui." ”
Fang Li was a surprise, Chu Yi handed over such a heavy task to him, which was a manifestation of his trust and reuse, and he immediately threw himself to the ground, pouted his ass and bowed: "I will live up to the Overseer!" ”
In the end, Chu Yi looked at Chu Fang and said, "Chu Fang, you are responsible for concealing the news of my departure, it won't take too long, Gao Feng, you only need to drag me back to Beijing." ”
Chu Fang said confidently: "The Overseer can rest assured." ”
After arranging Shi Kui, Fang Li, and Chu Fang, Chu Yi looked at Cao Shaoqin and Qi Hu and said, "Immediately transfer a few Dongchang fans, and we will return to Beijing overnight." ”
Cao Shaoqin and Qi Hu nodded excitedly and turned to leave.
It's just a cup of tea, and there are only a few people including Chu Yi, and one person and two horses quietly left the camp and went straight to the direction of Jingshi.
Cangzhou is almost more than 400 miles away from Beijing City, Chu Yi and several people have two horses, set off overnight, although there is a saying that there are 800 night trips, but this is obviously an exaggeration, even if it is 400 miles a day, it must be relayed more than a dozen times in the middle of the way, otherwise, even a thousand miles of horses can run to death.
The next day, in a post station that was still more than 100 miles away from Beijing City, Chu Yi and Cao Shaoqin did not come forward, and directly showed their identities to replace the horses at the post station and went straight to Beijing City.
As the flow of people at the city gate gradually decreased, the soldiers guarding the city gate leaned against the corner one by one, listless, waiting for the time to close the city gate to rest.
Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves, and several soldiers in tattered military robes and holding spears in their arms and shrunk their necks in the autumn wind suddenly became energetic.
The leader looked in the direction where the sound of horses' hooves came, only to see that on the official road in the distance, the fast horse galloped over, the leader looked majestic, and when he looked at the people behind, the chief couldn't help but shrink his neck and subconsciously took a step back, his face was full of fear.
Like a gust of wind, a few figures rode by, leaving only a few soldiers who waved their hands and slapped the dust raised, some people couldn't help but watch a few people go away and scolded, but before he could scold the second sentence, Shi Chang, who had a frightened face, covered the other party's mouth and shouted: "Dog, if you want to die, don't drag everyone!" Do you know who these are? ”
The soldiers couldn't help but be stunned when they looked at the frightened look of their own chief, they really didn't know who those people who had just passed by.
Although there are many powerful people in the capital, and they are guarding this city gate, they are all too familiar with many powerful people, but the key is that there doesn't seem to be such a number one person?
Looking at the puzzled looks of several of his subordinates, Shi Chang let go of the hand and kicked the other party and said, "You have to pay attention to Lao Tzu in the future, otherwise you will die on your mouth sooner or later." ”
As he spoke, Shi Chang timidly glanced in the direction of the city gate and said in a low voice: "If my tricks are not blind, the few people who have just passed are the famous Dongchang fans!" ”
"This can't be, what are the people in Dongchang, it's not like we haven't seen them, just those people ......"
A soldier couldn't help but say when he heard this.
Shi Chang slapped the other party's head and said: "Is it you well-informed, or Lao Tzu is well-informed, I don't know the others, but there is one of them, I remember it clearly, that is Qi Hu, the head of the East Factory, and the master of the East Factory." ”
"Hey, it's really Dongchang!"
Thinking of Fang Cai, they almost scolded with their mouths, and now they can't help but break out in a cold sweat on their backs when they think about it, Dongchang is famous in Beijing, but it is not like in Jiangnan, it is really mentioning that many people in Dongchang are discolored.
The palace at night was like a giant beast lying on the vast land, but Chu Yi and his party did not go to the palace, but instead went to the leopard room in the direction of the Taiye Pool in the West Garden of the Imperial City.
[Well, since everyone can't help but look at the Beijing part, then it's not a foreshadowing, hey, code words, code words, asking for a monthly ticket, rewarding, I feel bitter. 】
