Chapter 75: Urgent Call

Half a year later, Bao Qing has lived steadily in Luzhou.

In the past six months, nothing major has happened, if you want to talk about a major event, that is, Cao Yun's sister Cao Qian was ordered to enter the palace and become a beloved.

One day, Bao Qing listened to Zhu Daniu, who rushed back from the capital, in the yamen, and reported on the business situation of Bao Teahouse. In the past six months, Bao Liuwen and Dong Yanran have really done a good job, and the business of this treasure teahouse is very good.

In addition to the plaque of the official royal pen, there is also the pipa of the glacier fairy. In the past six months alone, the income of Bao Tea House has reached 200,000 yuan, which is not counting the tea sold by major tea shops. It is said that many large families in the capital have switched to drinking tea supplied by Bao Teahouse.

Bao Qing listened to the joy in his heart, it's good to have money!

Just when Bao Qing was proud, the yamen came out and sang: "The holy decree has arrived, and Bao Qing, the official of Luzhou, has received the decree!" ”

Seeing this, Bao Qing hurriedly rushed out and knelt down to receive the order.

"What? Let me enter Beijing immediately? Bao Qing was taken aback after hearing the holy decree.

Bao Qing had no choice but to greet Zhanzhao Zhanfei and others, pack their luggage, and return to the capital immediately.

Bao Qingna thought that it would be difficult for him to return to the capital, because when he left, the official decree clearly stated that he would not return to Beijing if he was not called.

Bao Qing still rode a horse this time, and now he is basically used to riding a horse. Bao Qing and his entourage were about 20 people, in addition to Zhanzhao Zhanfei, Bao Qing left only a few doors in the house in Changchang County this time, and brought Jin Wandao and his son with him, and Wang Dynasty Mahan also followed into Beijing.

After half a year in the capital, Bao Qing still feels cordial. But Bao Qing is also worried, what if the official asks about the progress of the case in the past six months? This plum blossom gang Bao Qing is more and more unconfident. Zhanzhao went out several times, and friends in the rivers and lakes inquired a lot, but there was no progress. If the Plum Blossom Gang doesn't commit a crime, there is no way to investigate it themselves. Bao Qing felt that the Plum Blossom Gang was silent, waiting for a one-time outbreak.

"The dog is blind!" Bao Qing didn't pay attention because he was thinking about things, a swarthy whip had already been drawn in front of him, but it was Jin Wandao, who was walking aside, who rushed out his right hand and grabbed the whip.

"Presumptuous, you are blocking the way of the prince!" The man shouted arrogantly.

Jin Wandao didn't care what the prince was, his arm was strong, and the same was true of the man opposite, the two of them fought on the street, and with a snort, the long whip was torn off.

"Good boy!" The man shouted, and he was about to draw his sword.

"Second brother, don't be rude!" A warrior dressed as a lieutenant grabbed the man.

Seeing this, Bao Qing clenched his fists and said, "I didn't pay attention to it and collided with Your Excellency!" ”

After speaking, he was about to leave, but he saw the sedan chair in the middle of the team stop and a person walked out.

This person is about 50 years old, with a broad forehead and a white face, two temples and a long beard, and he has a dignified appearance. and this tall and expensive robe, Bao Qing couldn't recognize what it was.

"My subordinates have seen the prince, and the adult in front of me accidentally blocked it!" The lieutenant said.

"Oh? No problem! If this adult is in a hurry, this king can avoid it first, anyway, this king has nothing to worry about! ”

"Xiaguan Bao Qing, at the urgent call of the official family, accidentally collided with the prince, please forgive me!" Bao Qing muttered to himself in his heart, who is this person.

"It turned out to be a Bao Tui official, but this king often hears the official family mention it! Not bad, not bad, if the hero is out of the boy! ”

Bao Qing was slightly surprised in his heart, but he didn't have time to elaborate, so he had to ride his horse away.

At this time, the person in the sedan chair was talking to himself: "It turns out that he is Bao Qing!" ”

And the man who whipped was still not convinced, and shouted: "It's really a nest of fire, my dignified Nine Princes want to make way for this little pusher, it's really infuriating!" ”

The lieutenant glared at him and said, "When you encounter such a thing in the future, you must not be reckless!" The group of people just now is not simple, just the person who pulls the whip is a first-class master. In the end, the one in Tsing Yi holding a sword on the right is afraid that it is even more powerful! I will ask the prince in a moment, who is this bag of pushers? There are actually two expert guards by his side! ”

Bao Qing didn't even have time to go home, so he hurriedly entered the palace.

After Bao Qing arrived, he found that all the ministers of the Zichen Palace were there, what happened? It's long over.

"Bao Qing, you're just in time! Something big is happening at the border! Lu Yijian said.

"This?" Bao Qing was a little speechless, there was a big incident at the border, what are you looking for me Bao Qing to do? I'm just a small pusher, no matter how big the matter is, will I be covered with green?

Xia Zhu saw that Bao Qing was puzzled and explained: "Wu Jun, the head of the soldiers and horses of the Bazhou battalion, was assassinated, and the Liao army was ambushed by the Liao army of the 20,000 forbidden army commanded by General Cao, and more than half of the dead and wounded, and was besieged by the Liao army on the way back to Bazhou, and his life and death are uncertain!" ”

"What? So what about General Cao? Did you send reinforcements? Bao Qing hurriedly asked, this Cao Xi is his father-in-law. Can't have an accident!

"Reinforcements can't be sent, a letter came from the Bazhou battalion yesterday, and there was a camp roar the night before yesterday, and the entire battalion was in chaos!" Xia Zhu said.

Bao Qing was silent, at this time, the official family summoned himself back, wouldn't he send himself to the front line?

"Bao Qing, I want to send you to the Bazhou camp to investigate this matter, are you willing?" Renzong asked.

"This, Your Majesty, can you choose not to go? That place is really too dangerous, and the minister is just a scholar, and he is a little scared! Bao Qing said.

"You?" Renzong's question was purely polite, just now when Bao Qing didn't come, he had already planned to investigate Bao Qing, which was recommended by Lu Yijian. It's just that Renzong didn't expect Bao Qing to refuse so shamelessly and straightforwardly, and the reason for refusal turned out to be fear, I am afraid that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will not use this reason.

"No, you have to go! I will order you to be a messenger, hold the sword of the Son of Heaven, and kill the officials below the third rank without retribution. What other conditions do you just mention! ”

"Your Majesty, who else is going with me? Who is the head of the Naha Prefecture Camp Chief? Bao Qing asked.

"There are nearly 9,000 or so border troops in the Bazhou battalion, which are temporarily under the command of the deputy chief Hong Ba. The imperial court did not intend to send someone to take over. Lu Yijian said.

"Then how many officials is this Hongba? If he is above the third grade, will I not be able to cut it? Bao Qing asked.

"Presumptuous, this Hongba has repeatedly made military exploits and is loyal to the imperial court, you can't speculate." Renzong shouted.

"That's all I said!"

"Also, I have sent the Nine Princes to integrate 20,000 Xiang troops, and they will rush to the aid of Bazhou in the near future. You don't have to worry! ”

When Bao Qing heard this, he suddenly remembered, isn't this the prince who exterminated the Plum Blossom Gang back then? If you have the opportunity to see it one day, you must ask for details, and you just have no clue about it.

"What else do you want, Lord Bao?" Lu Yijian asked.

"A hundred crossbowmen are needed, selected from the forbidden army! Your Majesty, the minister is now a chincha, what is the approximate specification of the chincha guard? Bao Qing asked.

"Would it be good to give you 300 people? A hundred crossbowmen, two hundred infantry? ”

"Plus a hundred cavalry!" Bao Qing said.

"Hmph, Bao Qing didn't let you go to war, and you don't have the ability, why do you need cavalry! I have few cavalry in the Great Song Dynasty! Xia Zhu was a little displeased.

"Provide a hundred horses and fodder, plus some money, and I'll find someone myself."

"Alright! Departure at the latest! Renzong said.
