Chapter 398: Who's Working Hard, Who's Anxious

"Your Majesty, you see that the king of Yangjun is ......" The military department Shangshu has long had an opinion on the emperor's favor to the king of Yangjun, and it is rare to have the opportunity to give him eye medicine in front of the emperor.

As soon as he spoke, Zhu Junfan knew what he wanted to say, and waved his hand to interrupt him: "Zhen Aiqing, Princess Jing is still in the courtyard on Tanggu Mountain!" The courtyard is by the sea, Junyang is worried about his mother, a filial piety, understandable! ”

The military department Shangshu is also an interesting person, and when he saw that the emperor intended to protect him, he closed his eyes stupidly. Why is the emperor so fond of that idle, cruel and violent guy? Just because he is the son of the emperor's uncle? The emperor's uncle is not only King Jing, which son of their family is not better than King Yangjun? And the emperor alone entrusted the king of Yangjun with a heavy responsibility, which is really incomprehensible!

In the imperial study, there was a discussion about sending troops to Tanggu, and at this time, Zhu Junyang had already returned to King Jing's Mansion all the way to Pegasus. The palace allowed a thousand private soldiers, and when he learned that his father was in the study, he immediately went to tell him the news he had received from the emperor.

As soon as King Jing heard that Dongshan Village had gone to the Wakou, and his concubine was still in the courtyard of Dongshan Village. If it weren't for the fact that his mind still kept this trace of sanity, he would have been like his son, and he would have rushed to Tanggu without caring about anything.

But after all, he has been a prince for more than 20 years, and he couldn't hold back the worry about his concubine, he took the token of the palace and solemnly handed it over to his son: "The safety of your mother and concubine will be handed over to you by your father!" ”

"Father, don't worry! My son will definitely live up to your trust!! Zhu Junyang clenched the token in his hand, did not say a word, took Liu Fusheng, the chief manager and a few personal guards, and hurried all the way to Zhuangzi, where the soldiers were stationed in the suburbs of Beijing.

Eight hundred private soldiers were counted, led by Commander Liu, and marched in the direction of Tanggu at full speed. And Zhu Junyang disliked the soldiers' horses running slowly, so he left a guard to show the way to the army, and he took two guards and a general manager Liu, and hurried to Dongshan Village overnight. Due to the urgency of the war ahead, the horses at the post station were on standby at any time, Zhu Junyang changed a few horses along the way, but people refused to rest for a moment, two or three days away, he came to the heavily guarded Tang ancient city gate in one day and one night.

"Master, you have been on the horse for a whole day and a night, and even the iron beaters can't stand it! Otherwise, let's go into the city and find a place to drink some water and eat something......" Manager Liu Fusheng saw that his master's mouth was dry, his eyes were full of bloodshots, he was covered in dust, his face was tired, and he persuaded him. People like him who run around all day long, running errands for his master, are a little unbearable, and the master has fine clothes and food on weekdays, even when he goes to sea and encounters storms or pirates, he has never been so hard and embarrassed.

Zhu Junyang bypassed the city gate of Tanggu, and went directly to the official road leading to Dongshan Village next to him, and galloped away, as if he didn't hear what Manager Liu said, and he didn't give any response. Drink water and eat? Joke! When is it? The two most important women in his life (well, one of them is a girl at most), in the uncertain fate of the Dongshan village occupied by the Japanese Invaders, how can he still eat?

At this time, his heart seemed to be roasting with another fire, his mind was full of the safety of his mother and Xiaocao, and his hard work had long been forgotten. The sooner he arrived at Dongshan Village, the less dangerous the mother and Xiaocao would be. He can't give up, let alone rest, race against time, time is life! If the two women who are the best for him in this life...... In his absence, what is the purpose of his existence?

The whip in his hand struck the horse's buttocks a few more times. His own beloved horse had long been tired on the way to Tanggu, and the horse under his crotch at this time had just entered the post station of Jinwei Mansion. The horse was urged to speed at its limit, and by this time it was foaming at the mouth, and it seemed that it could not hold out for long.

Suddenly, a miserable neighing of horses sounded, and there was a cacophony behind him. Liu Fusheng turned his head to see that a guard's horse was not up to the end, lying on the ground and kicking his legs weakly. They all knew that once a galloping horse fell to the ground, there was no hope of survival. How many horses are there? In this way, day and night at high speed, no matter how good the horse is, it can't afford to toss!

Manager Liu Fusheng turned around and found that his master had already run in front of them, leaving them far behind. Zhu Junyang has only one thought in his heart at this time, and that is: speed, speed, speed! Everything around him couldn't affect him in the slightest, and nothing was important for him to rush to Dongshan Village.

Fortunately, the horse under Zhu Junyang's crotch was still quite angry, and when he was able to see the entrance of Dongshan Village, he fell down violently. At the moment when the horse fell, Zhu Junyang rose from the horse in the air, landed not far in front of the fallen horse, did not stop for a moment, continued to move his two legs, and galloped towards Dongshan Village.

Manager Liu Fusheng looked anxious, and he jumped and leaped behind with light luck, and hurriedly chased after him. His horse had fallen not long ago, and he had to run after it with his legs.

"Master, there are Japanese robbers in the village, let's observe it first, and ......discuss it in the long run" Before Liu Fusheng's words fell, Zhu Junyang had already rushed to the entrance of Dongshan Village, and was stopped by several Japanese guards at the entrance of the village.

Zhu Junyang stood out in front of a row of five short figures. was pointed at by seven or eight steel knives, Zhu Junyang didn't say a word, and said it first. He unsheathed his sword, and cleaned up a few of the widows in three or five strokes.

Perhaps he listened to Mr. Liu's words, he did not break into the village openly, but changed to stealth mode, and then in the evening dusk light, he avoided some patrolling Japanese robbers and touched in the direction of Yu's house at the foot of the West Mountain.

At this time, it was the second night that the Japanese were stationed in Higashiyama Village, and Watanabe Hongichi was in the courtyard of the Yu family, eating chicken, pork, and white rice and white noodles every day, and the small life was quite nourishing. However, Watanabe Hiroichi knew very well in his heart that this kind of day would not be a few days away, and he would have to leave by boat tomorrow at most the day after tomorrow. The army of the Ming Dynasty was not vegetarian!

Watanabe Hongichi nibbled on a chicken leg and frowned slightly: The people he sent to the dock have been around for a day, why haven't they come back yet? Could it be that something happened to General Yamaguchi's side?

When Zhu Junyang touched into the courtyard of the Yu family from the wall, he looked at the ruined vegetable patch, and remembered that these were the efforts of Xiaocao and her family, so angry that he almost didn't jump out and kill all the robbers in the yard!

Manager Liu once again stopped his master's impulse: "Master, I haven't seen a single villager in this Dongshan Village, nor have I seen the place where the prisoners are being held, so I should have hid out!" Master, let's stop making extraneous branches, let's find someone first!! ”

"Have you gone to see the courtyard on the mountainside? What's the situation? Zhu Junyang took a deep breath, the anger in his phoenix eyes could almost burn people to ashes, he stared fiercely at Watanabe-kun, who was sitting on Xiaocao's exclusive rocking chair, leisurely gnawing on chicken legs, and was indignant in his heart: That rocking chair, that stingy girl, is usually reluctant to let him lie down, this damn little man, actually touched Xiaocao's recliner. After confirming that the mother concubine and Xiaocao are safe, the master will definitely cut this little devil into eight petals!!

"Back to the master, the door in the courtyard is locked, and the people inside should retreat in an orderly manner. Maybe the courtyard is in the mountains, and there are trees in the shade, so it hasn't been broken into and ravaged by the Japanese bandits! After seeing the other courtyard, Manager Liu breathed a sigh of relief. The princess should be safe!

Zhu Junyang nodded, lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said to himself: "It seems that the mother concubine should retreat with Xiaocao and them." But there are hundreds of people in Dongshan Village, where can they hide? As he spoke, he set his eyes on the towering and layered West Mountain, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"Manager Liu, you wait for Xiao Wu and Chunzi at the entrance of the village, let them stay in the courtyard, if there is a little devil touching it, kill them!!" Zhu Junyang jumped off the high wall of the Yu family and rushed in the direction of Xishan.

Manager Liu hurriedly followed, lowered his voice and shouted in a low voice: "Master, where are you going!" ”

"I'll go to Xishan, Xiaocao, that clever ghost, must have brought the mother concubine and the villagers to the mountain! I'm going to find them! Zhu Junyang's desire to see Xiaocao became more urgent. He knew that with that quirky girl here, the mother concubine would be fine!

Manager Liu said unoptimistically: "Master, there are so many Xishan, do you know where Miss Yu led the people?" You don't know much about the West Mountain, if you encounter a beast or something......"

He didn't say any more, because the master had already entered the mountains and forests, and he was gone. Manager Liu thought of the errand given to him by his master, so he returned to the entrance of the village in a huff, jumped on the tall elm tree that did not know how many hundred years had existed, and waited for the two guards to come over.

With Zhu Junyang's understanding of Xiaocao, he had already guessed where the little girl was most likely to lead people. Xiaocao's secret base, Zhu Junyang has followed him a few times, the valley is not only full of all kinds of flowers, but also a lot of wild vegetables and wild fruits, and there are fish in the stream to satisfy hunger. The most important thing is that the terrain is secluded and free of prey, and there are caves in the belly of the mountain that can accommodate hundreds of people. Naturally, it is the first choice for evacuation!

Zhu Junyang rushed away in the direction of his memory, he was extremely glad in his heart, because he was worried about Xiaocao, he followed her two or three times under the pretext of protecting her, and he still had an impression of the general direction.

At this time, he was hungry, thirsty and tired, but the concern for his mother and the grass supported him to gallop at a high speed among the weeds one person high. In just two quarters of an hour, it stretched infinitely in his heart, which was even more difficult than two or two years.

"What people!!" Just a short distance from the Misty Forest, a familiar figure jumped from the tree. If it weren't for the voice that Zhu Junyang couldn't be more familiar with, Chief Zheng might have become a corpse lying in the forest.
