(89) Worship and rumors

"Really?! Then you must tell Vice General Xu the good news! ”

Xu Ban just walked out of the door of the paper money shop, and heard the soldier pulling Wang Tao and the others excitedly, and his voice was full of excitement.

He couldn't help but walk over and ask, "What's wrong?" Is there any good news for me to hear? ”

Xu Ban put his hand on the soldier's shoulder, and the soldier who felt the weight had a bitter look on his face, and squeezed out a smile that was about to cry: "Adjutant General, it's really good news, don't blame me." ”

It seems that he should have been left too much shadow by Xu Ban and Shen Mo when he was training, and he was a little unsharp in his speech.

After all, it is still important to focus on the overall situation, Yang Shuben wanted to convey it to Xu Ban through the mouth of the soldier, causing the other party to take the initiative to ask for advice, but now it seems that it is ...... The quail-shaking soldier still needs to be rescued.

"The grass people don't know, it turns out that Vice General Xu is here." Yang Shu arched his hand: "I heard that the general mentioned that the soldiers were homesick, and they were all heroes who had just returned from the border for the country and the people, so the grass people thought of a superficial way. ”

Just begging not to take out the supplies to reward the three armies, Xu Ban sighed and tried his best to make a curious expression: "Let's hear it?" ”

Yang Shu saw that he was reluctant, so he said bluntly: "We are all civilians, so naturally we don't have the ability to let Your Majesty open the city gate, but Wang Tao and his subordinates are both masters, and they often go into the city on behalf of the villagers to buy, and have close contacts with the people in the city."

This time, His Majesty only closed the north gate where General Shen returned, and although the rest of the gates were staffed, they were not forbidden to enter and exit, and if the general was willing, the next two would go to the city to find relatives for the soldiers and meet in turn. ”

Xu Ban thought for a moment and asked, "Is it feasible to go out of the city like this?" ”

Wang Tao hurriedly explained: "The general doesn't have to worry, they are the people of the city, they have their own talismans to register, and besides, there are merchants at several gates who enter and exit every day, as long as they return to the city on time within three days, it will not be a big problem." ”

Xu Ban pondered for a moment, and suddenly remembered the matter explained in Shen Qingjun's letter, and suddenly realized why Miss was so nagging all of a sudden, and even suddenly wanted him to go to the grave to worship for others, it turned out that there was such a calculation.

It seems that the young lady has already had her own thoughts in the palace, and maybe it was for this matter that An Baolin was promoted.

With the answer in his heart, Xu Ban hurriedly bowed deeply: "For the sake of the soldiers, Xu Ban didn't dare to refuse, so he could only ask the two of them." ”

"The grass people can't stand it, the grass people can't stand it," the two raised Xu Ban's arm from left to right, and said busily: "General, please get up quickly." ”

Xu Ban's mind had already impressed him with "Shen Qingjun's layout outside the city", so he also let go of the "safety issue of Shen Mo in the palace".

Presumably, the young lady will take good care of the general.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and everything was full of kindness, especially An Yu, who was expecting help, so Xu Ban was also more attentive to the matter of worship.

In order to maintain their piety, several people remained solemn on the way to the grave of An Yu's parents, and suppressed the thought of discussing the details in their hearts.

The three-inch tomb is only a rough stone tablet that can't be seen by name, and there is no epitaph, and the grass is overgrown around it, and the dead branches are inch by inch, and it seems that no one has come to take care of it for a long time.

Xu Ban didn't ask much, and when he arrived at the grave, Xu Ban carefully removed the grass blades one by one, and then solemnly lit three pillars of high incense and kowtowed devoutly.

Xu Banbai, the soldier followed, Wang Tao and the two glanced at each other and bowed together.

In fact, it is not An Yu's parents buried here, but the comrades who were killed by the Shen family army led by Shen Mo's grandfather in the rebellion.

It's just that when the ancestors converged on the battlefield, the bodies of Shen Jiajun and his comrades could no longer be distinguished, and they were burned clean by An Yu's grandfather, shoveled off the ashes, and brought them here.

Xu Ban, the soldiers of the Shen family's army, Wang Tao and Yang Shu died, worshipping not only the remnants of the martyrs of the Yi country, but also the generals of the Shen family.

Although Xu Ban and the others didn't know each other's identities, as far as Wang Tao and Yang Shu were concerned, they were not angry with the Shen family——— they were loyal to the king, and they were worried about the resentment of the clansmen in the past, so they never came.

Now...... I just want to tell the martyrs that they are determined to help Shen Mo for the sake of Miss's plan, if there is a war in the future, they will definitely face him to life and death, and if the Shen family is willing to defect in the future, they are also willing to accept this help to restore the country, that's all.

——————————

Xu Ban and Yang Shu spoke freely on the way back, and discussed the matter of leading their relatives and soldiers to meet in batches this time.

Then he invited Yang Shu to the camp tent and wrote the names and surnames of the first batch of soldiers on the spot.

Things outside the city have already begun, and there are some slight voices inside the city.

An Yu had already handed over the letter to Changfang, and what he ordered Mai Dong Taoye to bring out was the news related to Heliansu.

You don't need to write a letter to spread rumors, and you don't even need to trouble your own people, you just need to go out of the palace to buy or send letters out of the palace to show a little bit of tone.

There is no need for much, not even new news, just a sentence of "the princess of the Helian clan came to the imperial city to make peace", and there are enough people to help spread the word.

It has been in the nature of the ancients to be curious, whether it is gossip between neighbors or trivial things, but nothing can be more can't help but rumor than bizarre stories or celebrity anecdotes.

Who is the top celebrity in the country today?

That, naturally, is the emperor!

If it's gossip from the palace, it's just well-founded, and it comes from the mouths of certified palace people, who doesn't want to hear a few words?

No, in just a day or two, the rumors have already fermented, from the argument of "the princess of Helian came to make peace" to "who will marry the princess of Helian back home", and even the gambling houses a few streets to the east have opened the handicap.

In addition, there are also opinions about the appearance of the princess Helian, some say that she is as beautiful as a fairy, some say that she is exotic, and some say that she is charming and moving, although they are different, but they are all words of praise, which has made the price of those Fanbang women in the hands of people Yazi have obviously risen a lot in the past few days.

In the eyes of the people, since this is to marry and kiss, let alone marry nobles, then you must be good-looking, and you must have a talent that is not inferior to the top brand of the Wanhualou that Your Majesty often goes to, otherwise you are here to smash the field, where is it to come and kiss?

In the eyes of some rich and noble families, they can't touch the princess Helian who can kiss Fangze, but it is not wrong to find a few similar ones.

The people discussed, so the rich people became interested, and the rich people became interested, and the people discussed it even more hotly, and as soon as it spread ten or ten hundreds, the news of the princess of Helian became a hot topic in the imperial city, and it didn't take much time to let His Majesty, who has a collecting habit, hear it.
