Chapter 82: Rush to the Rescue
Gu Yuan whitewashed most of Qin Chen's white words in one sentence, and became a loyal minister of the court who endured humiliation and burdened him from the head of the remnants.
"Princess An Hui is the ...... of Prince Qin"
Mu Zhifu asked tentatively.
"Stepmother."
Qin Chen's eyes were calm, and he said directly: "The princess was married to Liu Guang and knew the strength of his remnants, she adopted me, hoping that I could help the county lord of Fu'an, and then sweep away the remnants for the emperor." ”
"I came to look for Master Mu that day, and the plan was also because someone was spying on me, forcing me to pretend to cooperate."
He spoke eloquently, with a sincere tone and a calm expression.
Even if Governor Mu sensed that something was wrong, he had already been involved with the emperor's daughter, Princess Anhui, and was no longer a person he explicitly denied.
can only secretly investigate the truth, but even if the Mu Governor's Mansion did not fall into the hands of Qin Chen, he judged the wrong case against him and indulged his nephew Mu Peng's affairs, which was enough to make his years of political achievements go down the drain.
Not to mention that his mind had already been detected by Gu Yuan and Qin Chen, how could he dare to verify the truth of what Qin Chen said?
Of course, he didn't have time to investigate, and the key was to save his life and official position at the moment.
Mu Zhifu nodded in admiration: "Princess Anhui is noble, Qin Gongzi is in Kou's company, and his loyalty has not changed, and he has really worked hard over the years." After I inherit His Majesty, Prince Qin will definitely be rewarded by His Majesty. ”
Qin Chen's eyes sank slightly, and he said lightly: "Don't bother Lord Mu, my affairs will be told to Your Majesty by my own stepmother." ”
Shouldn't be soft to push back, Mu Zhifu touched his beard in embarrassment, and passed Princess An Hui...... But it's not easy.
Gongzi is already half of the royal clan, and he has meritorious deeds, and it is difficult for the Mu Governor to help Qin Chen.
Gu Yuan said: "If Master Mu wants to bring peace to his family, shouldn't he send the transferred troops to Zhenjiang again?" The Zhenjiang garrison has betrayed His Majesty, and now Zhenjiang is in danger, and the rest of the places can send officers to join forces with the government to exterminate the remnants, Zhenjiang ...... The elite soldiers of the imperial court are needed! ”
"That's right, this official left the troops to guard Yuhang, and he will urge the garrisons of all important towns to support Zhenjiang."
Mu Zhifu still took the premise of keeping Yuhang, after all, this was the foundation for him to win the tolerance of Emperor Qin Yuan.
"Did I not make it clear? The people who attacked Zhenjiang were not ordinary Diao Min and Liu Guangyu, but Japanese Haikou who had been hiding on islands and other places, and it was difficult for the imperial court to strangle them. They were like locusts, and every time they landed and broke a city, the whole town would be reduced to ruins, not a single grain would be left, and many of the people would be killed. ”
“……”
Governor Mu saw Gu Yuan's anxiety, "This official understands the cruelty of the Japanese people, looking at the situation, the Japanese people are afraid that they have already landed on the shore to attack the city, and the Zhenjiang garrison has led his subordinates to leave, Zhenjiang is an undefended town, and at this time, the official sent people to do his best." ”
"The rest of the important towns in the south of the Yangtze River also need to be garrisoned by officers and soldiers to assist the county order to eliminate bandits, and this official should focus on the overall situation."
"Hey, the Japanese are raging, why are the people innocent?"
Before Governor Mu could finish sighing, his neck was grabbed by the beautiful woman who suddenly came out, "Send all your elite soldiers from Yuhang to Zhenjiang, otherwise I will break your neck!" ”
“…… You ......"
"Do as I say, as long as I am here, I will ensure that your Yuhang City will not be attacked by Liu Guangyu, and I will not mention the matter of your adultery with your sister-in-law and having a child."
Mrs. Gu stared at Governor Mu's mansion, "Qin Chen, you also swear so that he can rest assured." ”
The tacit understanding with Gu Yuan made Mrs. Gu react, even if Gu Yuan didn't say it explicitly.
Her beads went to Zhenjiang!
Qin Chen's eyes flashed suddenly, it turned out that Gu Mingzhu had gone to Zhenjiang?
Why is she so stupid?!
What does a chubby girl have to do with big things?
The people of Zhenjiang are all dead, but she still eats, drinks and plays as usual.
"I, Qin Chen, swear to the heavens that I will never divulge the private affairs of the Mu Governor's Mansion in the year of life and death, and if I break the oath, I am willing to be hit by five thunders, and there will be no corpse."
This oath is heavy and poisonous.
Mu Zhifu had difficulty breathing, although he didn't understand why they had to save Zhenjiang, which was in danger, but he understood that this was his only chance!
Regardless of whether the soldiers and horses sent could arrive in time, as long as he sent people, Gu Yuan's wife and Qin Chen could no longer attack him with their handles.
He was originally very sure about keeping Yuhang City, and when the situation was in crisis, he could rely on his good official reputation in the past to mobilize the people of the whole city to meet the enemy together.
Yuhang itself is a big city, the walls are high and thick, and he sticks to Yuhang in difficult situations, which is only good for him, but not the slightest harm.
In just an instant, Governor Mu figured out the gains and losses, "This official, this official promised you." ”
"Madame, let him go first."
Gu Yuan's words fell, Mrs. Gu let go, and Mu Zhifu's feet fell to the ground, panting and said, "This official will ...... the elite soldiers who can be sent."
"Huh?" Mrs. Gu raised her eyebrows, "You don't believe that I can defend Yuhang?" What can be sent? I don't care what method you use, within an hour, you must send all the elite soldiers, nay, all the elite soldiers you can mobilize, to Zhenjiang, and order them to hurry up their journey, and no one shall delay for half a minute. ”
"If only I could get to ...... early"
Mrs. Gu took out all the silver tickets on her body, "In addition to the rewards of the imperial court, these silver will be their additional rewards." ”
She disliked the small harvest of the Zhenguo Mansion, but in the eyes of Mu Zhifu and others, it was an objective amount.
It is a huge amount of money for the officers and soldiers who are bitter, and it is evenly distributed to them, and each of them can receive a lot of silver.
Governor Mu licked his lips, "This official will issue an order." ”
Mrs. Gu went out directly with a gun, "Brother Yuan, I'll go to the city tower...... Zhuzhu will be fine. ”
Gu Yuan said: "When Zhuzhu comes back and I beat her, you are not allowed to stop her anymore." ”
"As long as Brother Yuan can do it, I will never stop you."
Mrs. Gu's clear voice carried a hint of ridicule, "Which time is it that you are soft-hearted before me." ”
Looking at her disappearing back, Gu Yuan took a deep breath, what could be done, both of them and husband and wife had done it.
At this time, the only way to pray is that Zhu Zhu can return safely.
******
One horse and two horses, they had already traveled a long way, and they were held in her arms, although it hurt Qin Yu's self-esteem a little, but he hoped that this road could be a little longer.
When the sky is bright and the sun and the moon are shining, Zhenjiang City is already in sight.
There were already a lot of dead bodies under the walls of the ancient city, and people dressed in strange costumes who were not from the Central Plains shouted the slogan of Wow la and launched a charge to the town in danger.
In the end, it's still a step too late.
"Have you ever thought about how you should take command when you get to Zhenjiang?"
Qin Yu asked Gu Mingzhu behind him.
Gu Mingzhu's brows tightened, if there was no morale encouragement, I was afraid that the few errands in the city would collapse under the impact of the Japanese and pirates.
Once the city is broken, there is nothing she can do.
"His Royal Highness King Kangle, I will lend your name to use."
