Chapter 15 General Tokai

Haizhou City Governor Prefecture.

On the bluestone-paved avenue in front of the Yamen of the Zhizhou Mansion, which was originally sparsely populated and seemed very quiet, there was a sudden neighing sound of horses not far away, followed by the sound of a horseman driving a horse with a whip and driving forward. And the sound of the galloping horse slapping the ground is getting closer and louder.

"Hey, who's this? So bold? Gallop on this road. I'd like to see who this is. One of the gates at the entrance of the Zhizhou Mansion, a slightly chubby middle-aged sergeant with a Yanling knife on his waist, walked to the side of the avenue in front of the Zhizhou Mansion Yamen as he spoke, and looked in the direction where the sound of horses' hooves came.

"Liu Zheng, you come up to the side of the road, don't be hit." The sergeant, who was still standing at his own gate, kindly reminded him of his same value.

"It's okay, Brother Zhao Yong, don't worry, with our skills, even a startling horse can stop it, hehe." Hmph, I'd like to see who is so bold. As soon as Liu Zheng's words fell, a galloping carriage had already galloped to the front.

"Sigh......" I saw the coachman tighten the reins suddenly, and before the carriage could stop, the person even rolled and fell out of the ground, stumbling up and rushing towards the gate of the Zhizhou Mansion. After crashing into Liu Zheng's body again, he pushed Liu Zheng violently and pushed Liu Zheng to a stumbling position.

"Bold, dare to impact the Zhizhou Yamen......" Before the words were finished, there was a "choking" sound, and most of the Yanling knife on Liu Zheng's waist was already out of the sheath.

"Master, my lord, help, help......" The person who came was the horseman Awang of the Zhizhou Mansion, and I don't know if I saw Liu Zheng's cold and shining waist knife, so he continued to rush forward regardless of it.

"Yes...... It's Ngawang, old Ngawang. Zhao Yong was in front of the yamen of Nafu, and the bystanders first recognized who the person who came, and when he saw Ngawang like this, he couldn't help but cry out in surprise.

"Huh? It's really old Ngawang. Liu Zheng came back to his senses at this time, put the knife back to the sheath, and said with a sense of blame: "Old Ah Wang, why are you so reckless, driving a carriage around, and you yourself are disgraced, you almost didn't recognize you." Hey, even if it's your brother, you have to look at the place first, and don't see where you're going, so you have to pay attention to some influences, although ......"

"Young master, young master, young master, he ......" Old Ah Wang gasped a little breathlessly, muttering to himself, interrupting Liu Zheng's words, and at the same time about to break into the mansion.

"Oh? But Young Master He is on that carriage, and he has something to find Lord Zhizhou? Zhao Yong walked down from the front steps of the yamen: "However, old Ah Wang, this Lord Zhizhou is discussing with General Donghai in the back hall, you still ask your young master to get off the car, wait in this hall for a while, I will arrange for someone to serve some tea and snacks to Young Master He." You park this carriage in the backyard and feed it some......"

"Ah...... No, no...... Ah" Ah Wang suddenly fell to the ground, and fell on the steps in front of the yamen of the state capital and cried: "Master, save quickly, save the young master." Ah......h

…………

"What? You, what do you say? Lord Zhizhou He didn't care about talking about things with Lord Li, who was sitting opposite and was titled General Donghai, looking at Zhao Yong, the sergeant of the government who came in front of him to report, he stood up suddenly, the smile on his face seemed to be condensed, and the bowl of tea that he was originally holding in his hand "snapped" with a crisp sound, fell to the ground and shattered, and the tea splashed everywhere, some splashed on the hem of his official robe and official boots, and he was unaware.

"Lord Qiyu, it was the old Ah Wang in your house who came to report that the Huaguo Mountain Water Curtain Cave suddenly collapsed, and when it collapsed, He Gongzi and Miss Na Liu, as well as several other people were in that cave, and now, I don't know if I live or die." Zhao Yong is worthy of being a soldier, and when he encounters this kind of thing, he can still maintain his composure and orderliness when he reports it to his superiors.

"I, I'm ......" Lord He suddenly shouted again, as if he hadn't come to his senses at first glance, "Then, what about Ngawang?"

"Lord Qiyu, that Ah Wang is now lying on the steps in front of the yamen, his legs are weak and he can't walk upright, and Liu Zheng, who is on the same duty as me today, is now taking care of it in front of the yamen."

After listening to Zhao Yong's words, Lord He suddenly became weak again, and sat on the chair with his butt again, and he didn't make a sound for a while.

"Your Excellency......" Zhao Yong looked at Lord Zhizhou, who was languishing in the chair, and spoke again.

"Alright, Zhao Yong." Master Li, the general of the East China Sea who was sitting on the side, stood up, leaned over and dusted the lower edge of his official robe with his right hand, it seemed that the place had just been splashed with some tea leaves: "Zhao Yong listens to the order."

"Obey the orders of the general." Zhao Yong was slightly stunned, and immediately knelt on his left knee, bowed his head and clenched his fists with both hands.

"I now order you to take the general's token and go to the coastal defense camp on the east coast, and pass on the general's order. The officer on duty of the Haiphong Battalion was ordered to all the personnel who were supposed to rest today to be fully armed, bring all the tools for building the seawall and the dry rations needed for each individual soldier for a day in battle, and be sure to rush to the Huaguo Mountain Water Curtain Cave before three o'clock in the afternoon today. Those who delay military orders will be beheaded. ”

"Obey the general's orders." Zhao Yong lowered his head and held his hands high above his head, took the token, stood up, turned around, and strode out.

"Lord He, don't panic, since the matter has happened, panicking can't solve any problems." General Donghai turned around and said to Lord Zhizhou He, who was sitting in the circle of chairs, as if he had just come to his senses.

"Thank you, General Li, this official lost his temper just now, and he was offended, please don't be surprised." Master He stood up a little weakly, arched his hands with fists, and his voice was a little hoarse.

"Don't do that, Lord Ho. The water curtain cave collapsed suddenly, today is the third day of March, there must be a lot of tourists on the Huaguo Mountain, the people of Haizhou are pressed under the rocks, the situation is critical, saving people is like fighting fire. Under the general's order, the mobilization of coastal defense sergeants to participate in the rescue was suspected of violating the rules, but on the whole, it was reasonable and legal. ”

"Master Li, if there is an official to hold him accountable, this official will bear it with all his might. Don't worry, the general will never let the general not only do his best to save the people in danger, but also be reprimanded by the superior, after all, this official is the highest commander in this Haizhou. As for what I just talked about with the general, I agreed. ”

"Good. Lord He is really refreshing, and he deserves to be the protégé of the Governor. The officer is going to rush to Nahuaguo Mountain now, and as soon as the sergeants who came to the rescue arrive, at that time, he will also ask Lord He to be able to sit on the scene and command the dispatch. After all......"

"Good. The general is one step ahead, I have something to tell my groom, and I will go at once later. Again, the officer thanked the general. Master He bowed slightly, hugged his fist at General Li and arched his hand.

"Good. Ben will be waiting for the adults at the water curtain hole, and everything will be at the mercy of the adults. General Donghai also bowed his hand, turned around and walked out of the back hall of the Zhizhou Mansion.

"Someone." Watching the East China Sea General Master Li go out of the back hall door of this mansion, he turned a corner to the left and disappeared. Master He straightened up, his face was expressionless, and he said coldly: "Go to the gate of the Nafu Ya and bring that dog slave here for me."

"Yes, sir." I heard a gloomy voice, and I didn't know where it answered. Although I only heard his voice and didn't see anyone, the indoor temperature in the back hall seemed to have dropped a lot all of a sudden.
