In the bright room, Xu Jing was eating with a bowl of noodles, his face was full of wind and frost, and his clothes, legs, feet, and boots were all splashed with mud and dust.

Dong Niangzi brought a copper basin of hot water to serve him to wash, and couldn't help sighing when she saw her gobbling up.

The curtains sounded, Shen Zetang walked in with Shen Huan, Xu Jing wanted to put down the bowl and get up to salute, Shen Zetang raised his hand and said, "You will discuss it after eating, don't be in a hurry for this moment." So let Dong Niangzi pour tea for herself.

After Xu Jing drank the last mouthful of noodle soup, washed it again, and retreated from everyone, he said in a low voice: "The second master foresaw that it was true, Tang Tongzhang really had a different heart, and sent someone to send a secret letter into Beijing, although his trip was seen through by the picturesque, but the messenger was very cunning, and the martial arts were strong, I tracked all the way into Beijing with Ni Zhong Zhang Hong and other guards, and finally escaped by him. ”

Shen Zetang's face condensed slightly: "What about Tang Tongzhang?" ”

Xu Jing replied: "Kill on the spot according to the second master's orders." ”

Shen Zetang asked again: "King Hao's soldiers and horses entered the city, but they were deployed according to my orders?" ”

Xu Jing said: "Only those who arrived early in the southeast entered the city and went straight to Qinglong Mountain, about 70,000 people, and the rest of the soldiers and horses who arrived in the northwest were hiding in the county town five miles away from the city, about 80,000 people." ”

Shen Zetang heard this, leaned back on the chair, his face looked calm, and said a little: "Tang Tongzhang only knows that King Hao has more than 70,000 people stationed in Nanjing, and he reported to the imperial court that this is the number, and Xu Lan has rushed to Yunnan with most of the army, and the emperor wants to leave some generals to defend the city, and at most send 100,000 people to Nanjing to encircle and suppress. He didn't know that I had 80,000 there....... You might as well take advantage of the situation to capture them all, one can boost morale, and the other can strengthen the troops, but it is a good start for this battle. ”

Xu Jing's eyebrows frowned again: "What the second master said is very true! But the emperor and others received a secret report, and he will definitely order to send troops to set off on the starry night, and it will take a few days for King Hao to arrive in Nanjing, and the 150,000 army has no one to lead, what should this be? ”

Shen Zetang looked at Shen Huan with a smile in his eyes: "Although I am a civil official in the DPRK, I have also been on the battlefield to destroy the enemy, but I am lucky that I have never been defeated. ”

Xu Jing's eyes widened and he asked, "Is the second master going to go into battle in person?" ”

"Why not?!" Shen Huan rubbed his palms, his face was full of excitement, and he muttered in a rough voice: "Eight years ago, I helped King Hao to quell the rebellion in Yunnan, and the foreigners were still good at riding horses to fight. Now this is uncomfortable and has no energy, just waiting for this battle to come to the bone. ”

Everyone laughed, Shen Zetang took a sip of tea, and muttered: "The most important thing at the moment is how to get out of Beijing?" ”

Xu Jing replied: "The second master is very worried, now the city gate inspectors and brocade guards are on duty, and the people in and out are strictly checked, and we are dressed as woodcutters and ordered to untie the rope and scatter firewood to check all over, not to mention the appearance of the second master, who doesn't recognize it?" ”

The crowd frowned, and suddenly heard someone outside the curtain: "I have a way." Looking at the sound, the curtain was raised, but it was Shun Yu who walked in with a cloak.

She only loosely pulled up her slanted bun, her little face was white and plain, her eyes were clear, and her lips were tender.

Dong Niangzi often sees her dressed as a man, how can she think of dressing up as a daughter, but she looks so bright.

Xu Jing hurriedly got up and gave up, Shun Yu looked at him with some surprise: "Why did you lose so much weight?" ”

Xu Jing smiled bitterly: "The north and south are not adapted to the water and soil. ”

Shun Yu felt sympathetic and comforted: "When this battle is settled, I will help you make up for it." ”

"Madam........" Xu Jing was grateful.

Shen Zetang coughed his throat, beckoned her to come to his side, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you awake?" Still looking for this? ”

Shun Yu also woke up suddenly somehow, the second master was not around, he was panicked in his heart, he put on his shoes and clothes and went out of the room, walked to the bright room and saw that there were guards guarding him, and he heard for a while before he knew about it....... He pursed his lips and asked, "When does the second master plan to leave?" ”

Shen Zetang looked at her deeply: "If you think of a way to get out of the city, you will leave." ”

Shun Yu nodded, took a breath and swept everyone around, and said: "I know that the Shangshan Supervisor goes to the palace to transport winter vegetables every night and ugly, and travels out of the city in the middle of the night, but this time is different from the past, and the Shangshan Supervisor was ordered by the Holy God to select the game transported from Kanto and send it to the Queen Mother who lives in Tianjin Wei Courtyard. There is an emperor's hand order to go out of the city, and no one dares to stop him. Second master, you can change your clothes and blend in and out of the city. And the city patrol officer on duty today is Yang Yan, and I will drag him down. ”

Shen Huan scratched his head and asked, "But how can I get into the convoy that Shangshan Supervisor went north?" ”

Shen Zetang took the pen and paper, wrote two letters on the table with the light, and said to Shen Huan and Shen Rong: "One is sent to Yongting (Feng Shuanglin) and the other is sent to Cao Ying, without further ado, the sooner the better." The two of them hurriedly took it into their arms and retired first.

Shen Zetang instructed Xu Jing and the others to go to another room to rest and wait for the time being, and asked Dong Niangzi to go to the neighboring room with Cuimei to bring the two little guys, he wanted to take another look.

When there was no one around, Shen Zetang hugged Shun Yu into his arms, and his tone was finally full of apologies: "Jiu'er, you are in danger now, but I want to leave ........ again."

Shun Yu raised his hand to cover his lips, and smiled reluctantly: "Second master's words are bad, I am not an ordinary woman, I have never experienced anything shocking, even if you go, I will take the baby to wait for you in the capital........" She paused slightly, grabbed Shen Zetang's sleeve and asked: "You will definitely come back safely, right!" ”

His eyes turned red uncontrollably.

Shen Zetang snorted, pecked her slender fingers, and said in a soft voice: "Definitely, I will lead hundreds of thousands of horses to rush into the city gate, step on the royal road, step into the palace, capture the traitorous emperor and ministers alive, and help King Hao seize the royal power, and then where you are, I will rush to see you, and never leave you again........ You must spare your life and wait for me to come back! ”

Shun Yu wrapped her arms around his neck, leaned close to his ear and said yes, breathing hot and dissipating a wisp of moisture.

On the porch, there were feet and feet approaching, accompanied by babbling and childish voices.

Shun Yu hurriedly stood up from Shen Zetang, Cuimei Dong Niangzi had already brought the child in and showed her a straight face, and her expression was a little sentimental.

Shen Zetang took the ingots and the little moon, sat on the left and right legs respectively, the little moon was sleeping, looked at his father with tears in his eyes, buried his face in his clothes and continued to sleep.

Yuan Bao was in high spirits, staring at his father with bright black eyes, seeing that his father's gaze was also gentle opposite to him, and he kicked his fat legs excitedly.

Shen Zetang asked Shun Yu to open the table drawer, took out a ruler and handed the portrait of a long woodcarved man to Yuanbao.

The ingots took it and held it in his hand, looked at Daddy, and then looked at the wooden statue, it was exactly the same.

grinning and muttering, "Whew..... Whew.... Father..... Father! ”
