Chapter Twenty-Seven: Jinghua Tired Guest
"What?!"
This time, it was not only Ji Ziyan, but even Su An was suddenly shocked in his heart.
But Ji Ziyan was the one who had led the soldiers after all, so he calmed down in an instant and asked the soldier: "Where has Beidi gone?" How many soldiers and horses are there? ”
Seeing that Ji Ziyan was so calm, the soldier also calmed down a lot, and spoke much more fluently: "The Beidi army and horses are still ten miles away from the city, and there are about 10,000 soldiers and horses. ”
Hearing this, Ji Ziyan frowned.
If it is a normal period, Beidi's 10,000 military horses are not to be feared at all, but now Taihe County has suffered from the wind and suffered heavy losses, and the disaster relief funds have not been in place, and everything has not been rectified, let alone 10,000 soldiers and horses, it is 5,000 soldiers and horses, and Taihe County may not be able to resist.
After weighing the pros and cons, Ji Ziyan turned his head and said to Su An: "Master Su, I will ask you to prepare a good horse for you, and leave quickly while Bei Di Shang is on the march, go to the capital to ask for disaster relief, and ask for help!" ”
Su An looked at Ji Ziyan hesitantly, at this moment of crisis, if he, the county official, left Taihe County, I am afraid that the people's hearts will be unstable.
But Ji Ziyan couldn't think about it so much, he pushed Su An out of the room, and said solemnly: "Master Su, please!" ”
Su An knew that Ji Ziyan had a lot of trust, and when he thought of his daughter's letter, he simply responded: "Okay, wait for me to bring some necessities." ”
When Su An came out, Ji Ziyan had already left, and the soldier had already pulled the good horse at some point, Su An took it, raised his feet and rode on, whipped fiercely, and galloped out of the south towards the outside of the city.
Xiguo is only a small subsidiary country of Huaguo, the territory is not vast, the first time Su An's family from Kyoto to Taihe County, all the way to privately collect evidence of the Wang family's crimes, delayed time, plus there are female dependents, it took a full three months.
If a man rides from Kyoto to Taihe Prefecture alone, it usually takes 10 days.
Ten days!
Su An thought in his heart, if he arrived in Kyoto in ten days, he was afraid that it would be too late, thinking like this, Su An quickly stepped up, and he didn't dare to stop for a moment.
Three days later.
"Miss, there was a dusty horseback rider who came to the door of the prime minister's mansion and said that he wanted to visit the prime minister, but before he finished speaking, he fainted in front of the mansion gate."
Hearing the news from the little girl, Gu Qingge, who was pruning the spring flower branches, elegantly put down the flower scissors in his hand: "Where is that person now?" ”
The servant replied: "The man fainted in front of the door of the house, and the servant thought that it would attract attention, so he found a few people and carried the man into the ear room. ”
"You're doing a great job." Gu Qingge smiled faintly. Seeing this, Yidong immediately understood, and rewarded the little guy with a purse, and the little guy got the purse and smiled very happily.
"It's summer, you accompany me to the ear room to have a look." Looking at himself one by one, Gu Qingge said.
Youxia nodded and followed Gu Qingge towards the ear room.
I thought that some kind of wandering passerby came to the Prime Minister's Mansion to ask for a bite to eat, but when he saw who the person who fainted in front of the mansion was, Gu Qingge was taken aback.
But Gu Qingge didn't show this emotion, and withdrew all the maids except for Youxia, Gu Qingge walked up to the fainted person and called tentatively:
"Uncle?"
Yes, it was none other than Su An who fainted in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
In order to come to Kyoto as soon as possible to report the news, Su An did not rest day and night, and continued to hurry after changing horses at the post station, and finally arrived at Jinge, the capital of Xiguo, on the third day after running and killing four horses.
In Kyoto, Su An trusted Mrs. Su the most, but if he went to the Taifu Mansion, he would undoubtedly involve Mrs. Su, so Su An retreated and chose his nephew's family, which was unknown to his relatives-Zuo Xiangfu.
For three days, Su An was dusty, his clothes were full of mud and sand, his whole person was out of shape, and his eyes were full of red bloodshots, looking haggard.
Arriving at the Zuo Xiangfu, Su An felt that his heart was settled, and after letting the little servant report, Su An felt that the tight string in his heart was loosened, and he fainted in front of the Zuo Xiangfu.
Seeing that Su An should not, Gu Qingge turned his head and said to Youxia, "Look at what's going on." ”
Youxia is the youngest daughter of a retired old Chinese medicine doctor, and later the family fell into the middle of the family before selling herself to the Prime Minister's Mansion, because she was exposed to it since she was a child, and Xia slightly learned the art of Qi Huang, which is also the reason why Gu Qingge did not bring Yidong but brought Youxia over.
You Xia got the order, took a step forward, checked the pulse, opened Su An's eyelids and looked at it, and understood what was going on.
"Miss, he fainted from exhaustion due to overexhaustion, just rest and rest."
Hearing Youxia's words, Gu Qingge breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he and his aunt have never met a few times, there is basically no relationship at all, but after all, they are blood relatives, and since the death of his father, his elders are left with this aunt.
As the husband of my aunt, it is naturally best for my uncle to have nothing to do.
After explaining to Youxia, leaving Youxia to arrange the next matters, Gu Qingge turned around to leave.
Suddenly remembering something, Gu Qingge turned his head and added, "Send someone to report to Miss Su." ”
"Miss, Miss Gu sent someone to say that the master fainted in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Knowing the book, he said to Su Wu, who was looking at the book seriously.
Su Wan was attracted by the content of the book, and didn't pay attention to what the book said, so she casually answered:
"Oh, then dizzy."
"Miss!" Helpless Miss's reaction, Zhishu understood that Su Wu didn't listen to her words, and emphasized again:
"The one who fainted is the master! Master! Your father! ”
This sentence finally caught Su Wan's attention, and she shook her hand with the scroll and asked, "My father has entered Beijing?" ”
"That's what Miss Gu said."
Su Wu immediately stood up: "Zhishu, come with me to the Prime Minister's Mansion!" ”
"Miss, no!"
Zhili, who was on the side, hurriedly stopped when she heard this, although she didn't know what was going on, but she knew what Miss Gu and Miss Gu had been planning during this time, and it could be seen from the fact that they only sent someone to spread the word, Miss Gu and Miss Gu and Miss Gu must not meet easily, otherwise the work will be wasted.
At this juncture, how could she let the young lady make mistakes because she cared?
Su Wu was stunned when she heard this, and when she was about to open the door curtain, she turned her head and asked Zhishu:
"Did the person sent by Miss Gu ever say why my father fainted?"
Zhishu also knows that Zhili must be knowledgeable if he doesn't let his own lady, and Zhili has always been assertive, and it is right to follow her meaning:
"The old man fainted because of exhaustion, and it will be fine if he has enough rest. Miss, in that case, let's not go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to disturb the master for the time being, right? ”
Fainting from exhaustion?
Su Wu thought of a reason in her heart, her father had always been in good health, how could he suddenly faint?
Suddenly, her heart moved, thinking of the time when her father entered Beijing, Su Wu sighed, my father was probably in a hurry...
It's just that it still takes a while to sue the Wang family, why is my father so anxious? Could it be that something happened in Taihe County again?
This guess made Su Wan's heart skip a beat, and she didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Rather...
I and my father are worthy of being father and daughter, and they both fainted due to exhaustion...
Thinking of the time of the spring hunt, Su Wu smiled lightly, because the haze brought by the bad news dissipated a little.
