Feng Hanzhao asked the people who rushed to deliver the war report for 800 li to bring the letter he wrote to Emperor Rongxi back to the capital together, and he still lived in Qishan County.

Every time Chu Hua came to Feng Hanzhao to "say goodbye", although he didn't and didn't dare to put on a sad face, Feng Hanzhao still saw his thoughts: "General Chu, don't persuade you." Lone won't go back to Beijing right now. The changes in the military situation here are still unclear, and Lone will have to wait a little longer. If you're interested, we can play chess. A few days ago, the county magistrate here sent a good set of chess. ”

Feng Hanzhao pointed to a pair of chess pieces on the table and said, "The black and white chess pieces are polished from two kinds of stones that are a specialty of Qishan. The chessboard is made of a kind of redwood wood on Qishan, which can not be broken for a hundred years. ”

Chu Hua knelt on the ground and said, "Your Highness, before the minister goes on the expedition, Your Majesty has an edict that the minister must ensure that His Highness is thorough." The minister heard that His Royal Highness had gone to Dingchen County without permission some time ago, and although he came back unscathed, it was really inappropriate to act so risky. The minister did not dare to persuade His Highness to return to Beijing, and the minister implored His Highness to take care of his duties for the sake of the ministers who had served for 20 years, and never to act like this again. ”

Feng Hanzhao smiled: "Don't dare to persuade yet, isn't this already persuaded?" General Chu, there is a reason why Lone wants to stay. Your words also have your position. In this way, let's each take a step back. Don't persuade Gu to return to Beijing again, and Gu also promises not to go out of Qishan Pass for half a step. Is that good? ”

Chu Hua kowtowed heavily on the ground: "Your Highness Xie is compassionate." ”

"Come, come, General Chu, please take a seat. It's been a long time since we've played chess together. The last time I played chess with you was in Dazhou. Feng Hanzhao finally found a person with equal chess strength, so he naturally refused to let go.

Who knew that after two sets, Feng Hanzhao won easily. Chu Hua conceded defeat: "Your Highness's chess skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and the minister is not an opponent." ”

Feng Hanzhao smiled helplessly and said, "General Chu will also compliment." ”

Chu Hua hurriedly confessed, and then left.

Coming out of Feng Hanzhao's house, Chu Hua went to see Zhen Zhen again. He also knelt down first and begged Zhen Zhen not to take any more risks, and after Zhen Zhen agreed, he took out a letter as if he had just remembered something, and handed it to Zhen Zhen with both hands: "Before leaving, Lord Zhen entrusted him with a humble duty to bring the family letter to his sister." ”

Zhen Zhen asked, "Why is my letter later than His Highness?" ”

Chu Hua hurriedly explained: "This was specially instructed by Lord Zhen. Zhen Dayang's monarchs and ministers are different, and the letter to his sister is a few times later than the letter to His Royal Highness. ”

As soon as Zhen Zhen heard this, it was her father's style, and at the same time, she also understood her father's intentions, this was for fear that Zhen Zhen would go out and forget his identity, which would damage Feng Hanzhao's image, and then do things that were out of place and let people seize the handle, it would be even worse. This is probably the real intention of my father's letter.

"Is there anything new in the capital lately?" Zhen Zhen asked casually on the surface.

"The new emperor ascends the throne, and all industries are waiting for the new. Everyone is busy. If you want something new, that is, the six parts are much busier than before. ”

Zhen Zhen asked specifically about the Ministry of Rites, but Chu Hua's words were vague and didn't seem to be clear. Zhen Zhen didn't ask anymore.

After Chu Hua said goodbye, Zhen Zhen opened the letter, and in addition to reporting safety, it told her to take care of her body, and there was no movement in the court or the capital.

Is it really okay, or is it inconvenient in the letter? Zhen Zhen is in this remote place, sometimes you can see the official newspaper, and occasionally you can read the "Hanmo Times". The news of the capital is still relatively closed.

It would be impossible for nothing to happen in the capital for so long.

It was only when something unfavorable to the Zhen family occurred in the capital that my father reminded him so heartily.

What's going on in the capital?

She doesn't know, it doesn't mean that Feng Hanzhao doesn't know. Zhen really wanted to ask him, and the foot that stepped out of the door was retracted.

Since he deliberately concealed it, why bother to debunk it? Then I don't know what he wants.

In the next few days, Zhen Zhen and Feng Hanzhao had a rare escape. Zhen Zhen's broadcast also stopped. The spies reported that the Yuantai soldiers in Dingchen County had significantly reduced their contacts and showed signs of retreating.

After Chu Hua's soldiers and horses were in a posture and ready to meet the enemy, Feng Hanzhao called him and discussed with him how to respond if someone on the Yuan and Tai sides started an incident.

Although he didn't know who this "someone" was, Chu Hua also understood Feng Hanzhao's intention to stay. Zhen Zhen doesn't understand military affairs, and is more on the sidelines.

However, after Ye Wei left Qishan Pass, he did not go directly to Yuantai Capital - Shangjing according to the nearest road. Daning and Yuantai were wartime, and the guards at each checkpoint were very strict, and he led men and horses, and it was not enough to have only one soldier's guide.

Ye Wei and his subordinates still changed into the clothes of Yuan Taibing, swam across with the horses, and returned to the old elm tree from the dark river in the cave. chased all the way again, and finally caught up with Qiao Fang's team slowly escorting Sheng Liantu back to Shangjing in a town.

Qiao Fang saw the same tattoo on Ye Wei's ankle as himself, except for his mother and brother, it was the first time he had seen this mark on an outsider. Knowing that Ye Wei was actually the descendant of the famous general Ye Zhen, he was even more surprised and called him lucky.

Two people who are well versed in the court situation and understand the art of war are together, and Ye Wei's words hit the nail on the head: "Why does the Metropolitan Governor think that Sheng Jun wants to frame you?" ”

"The old man asked someone to check the storage records since the start of the army, and all of them were imperial merchants. Those people, except for His Majesty, didn't move. The prince is not a school"
