Gu Fanghua smiled when she heard this, her pink cherry lips and neat teeth looked really beautiful.

"Brother Rong Ling, it would be good if the Jurchens came to attack! I want to see with my own eyes the appearance of my big Zhou Erlang, expelling the barbarians, and heroizing the world. ”

Yan Rongling smiled dotingly: "You, war is not as simple as you think. ”

Gu Fanghua's eyes rolled and said with a smile: "Brother Rong Ling, don't say it, it's really possible." I heard my grandmother say that this year, there was a great drought outside the Guan, and there was an outbreak of plague in cattle and sheep, with countless deaths and injuries. Maybe this year's cold winter, the Jurchen has no food to survive the winter, so they will come to Shanhaiguan to grab it. ”

Yan Rongling frowned and pondered, "Is this true? Why don't I see it on the Weiyuan Hou Song? ”

"Are you stupid? Brother Rong Ling, this is just my grandmother, listening to what the leather merchant outside the shop said, it can't be true. Besides, how do you let Wei Yuanhou play? What if the Jurchens don't come? ”

Yan Rongling smiled, suppressed the irritability in his heart, and said with a smile: "Mingzhu, I just hope you are safe." ”

"Yes, the emperor's uncle will send a team of Imperial Forest Army to escort me, and I will also bring Xiaoyuanzi and them and Grandpa Qian, it will be fine."

Gu Fanghua said, picked another grape and put it in her mouth, the fruit acid made her squint.

Yan Rongling saw that things could not be changed, so he had to give up, sat for a while, and then left. Time is running out, and he has to arrange it as soon as possible.

Xiao Yao, who was outside the palace, was still in the dark, he was now integrating his own manpower, and he wanted everything to go well when he returned to Liaodong.

Soon, on August 26, Xiao Yao left the city early in the morning and came to Shili Pavilion to wait for others. This time, in addition to Lu Fei and the other four people who usually follow him, it was the two people brought by Xiao An.

Originally, Xiao An returned to Beijing this time, and the dozen or so people he brought with him should all return to Liaodong together.

But Xiao Yao said that there were five princes with him this time, and it was best to let the others go back to report the news first, so Xiao An only left two people.

Xiao Yao and his party of eight people soon waited for Gu Shinian.

This time there were a large number of people, and after discussing with his father, Gu Shinian only brought four guards with strong martial arts in line with the principle of being noble and not expensive.

As for the Zhong family's brothers and sisters, one person brought ten people, all of whom were the generals of the Zhong family, and they were fierce generals who could take charge on the battlefield.

"Xiao Yao, the fifth prince hasn't arrived yet?"

"No, I guess I'm going to bid farewell to the emperor, and I've been delaying for a long time, right? However, I think it should be the Queen Mother who is reluctant, ouch! ”

Before Zhong Zibin finished speaking, he was pinched on the arm by his sister Zhong Taojiao, and screamed in pain.

Xiao Yao said curiously: "The fifth prince and the queen mother, so close? ”

Zhong Taojiao waved her hand with a smile and said with a smile: "Of course, the Queen Mother's kindness is famous all over the world. For the grandson to go far away, of course, I have to say a few words. ”

After finishing speaking, Zhong Taojiao quickly pulled Zhong Zibin to the side and said in a low voice: "You dare to spoil Mingzhu's good deeds, spiders are waiting!" ”

"Jiaojiao!"

Before Zhong Taojiao's words fell, Yan Changxin's panting voice came from afar.

"Yan Changxin, why are you here? When I practiced it yesterday, didn't I say that I didn't need to send it today? ”

Zhong Taojiao looked at Yan Changxin, who was sweating profusely and had just flipped off the horse, and couldn't help but sigh angrily.

Yan Changxin was accompanied by four guards and a carriage, and he took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead. smiled: "I'm not here to send you." ”

"Could it be that you are here to send off the fifth prince? Didn't you hear you had a good relationship? ”

After Yan Changxin tidied up a little, he showed a big smile, and said a little shyly: "No, I'm here to go with you." ”

"Together?"

No wonder Zhong Taojiao was surprised, even Xiao Yao and Gu Shinian were startled.

Yan Changxin glanced at Zhong Taojiao and said happily: "Yesterday, I told my father that I wanted to go to the border to collect some fur and buy some good medicine." Father agreed, and he was on his way with you. ”

No matter how thick Zhong Taojiao was, she also felt Yan Changxin's intentions, and she lowered her head shyly, and whispered next to the two of them.

Gu Shinian looked at this scene and smiled: "Xiao Yao, it seems that your family is going to have one more guest." ”

"Visitors are welcome, of course."

Xiao Yao looked at the sun, it was almost three quarters of the hour, and the appointment was originally made for one quarter of the hour, but now it was two minutes late.

Could it be that the five princes are unwilling to go?

Xiao Yao was thinking about it, and suddenly felt that the ground seemed to be trembling, and he hurriedly looked in the direction of the city gate.

From a distance, a large group of Imperial Guards came this way, and at a rough estimate, at least three hundred. It seems that the emperor still has a special fancy for the five princes, otherwise he would not have sent so many royal guards to escort them.

It's just that the team is closer, Xiao Yao looked at the dozen or so carriages behind him, and his doubts deepened.

Even if the five princes are noble, they don't need to carry so much luggage, right?

Gu Shinian looked at Xiao Yao, frowned a little, and couldn't help snickering, when Mingzhu came down, he would definitely be startled.

Sure enough, when Yan Shaoxun came to the first carriage and helped Gu Fanghua get out of the carriage, Xiao Yao was startled at that time.

It was rare to show a dumbfounded look: "County, county lord, why are you here?" Shinian, is the lord of Mingzhu here to see you off? ”

Zhong Zibin laughed and said, "How is it possible? Mingzhu is also going to Liaodong, don't you know? ”

Xiao Yao stammered a little and said, "I, I really don't know." ”

Zhong Taojiao, who was talking to Yan Changxin, saw Gu Fanghua coming, and pounced on him with a smile: "Mingzhu, you are here, you don't have to rush to wait a while, just have lunch, right?" ”

"Jiaojiao, it's hard for me to go far away, say goodbye to my grandmother, and Empress Jiang, and go to the emperor's uncle, but I don't have to wait until now."

After speaking, Gu Fanghua looked over with a smile and beckoned: "Second brother, Brother Zhong, Xiao Yao!" ”

Yan Shaoxun also walked over and arched his hand: "Xiao Yao, you and Brother Zhong have worked so hard this way." I've brought ten secret guards, and I'll leave them all to you for unified arrangement. ”

"Yes, Zibin, I'll leave it to you to make unified arrangements."

Gu Shinian also felt that it was very good to be arranged by Zhong Zibin, so as not to have problems with the dispatch on the road.

At this time, Dou Ran, the commander of the Royal Forest Army, came over to greet him: "The emperor said that all arrangements on the road are under the orders of General Zhong and Uncle Xiao. ”

Zhong Zibin also took the lead, and immediately integrated the Imperial Forest Army into a hollow shape, protecting the carriage and the masters in the middle.

And the secret guards brought by everyone, except for one person who left four by his side to protect him, the rest were assigned to each carriage and took over the position of the coachman. The original coachman has been replaced.

Xiao Yao agrees very much, in case something happens, there is a world of difference between a kung fu coachman and an ordinary coachman.

Gu Fanghua also communicated with Jiaojiao about Yan Changxin's arrival, got into the carriage together, and continued to whisper. Seeing this situation, Xiao Yao could only slowly accept the facts from the shock, and some details that he had ignored at first came to mind.

I see!
