Twenty-three, step by step lotus (4)

An Dehai's mood in recent years has not been very good, most of them are sullen, and often in a daze, the Queen Mother said this is also to comfort her heart, An Dehai was very moved, and hurriedly thanked him, for a time the master and servant had nothing to say, the Empress Dowager Cixi remembered Fan'er, and the mood was also bad, almost to the gate of the Old Summer Palace, the weather suddenly turned cloudy, and the spring rain began to fall, the weather was damp and cold, and it added a lot of irritability, the Queen Mother got off the carriage, and finished changing clothes in the Qinzheng Palace, and the emperor sent someone to say that she had dinner with the Empress Dowager Ci'an in Xinghua Village, So after dinner, An Dehai went to deal with the affairs of the Internal Affairs Office, and when the Queen Mother was about to squint in the grass and take a nap, Liang Ruyi was so anxious that she came in with a telegram fold covered with the big seal of the Ministry of Communications, "The Queen Mother Qi, it's a war report from Xinjiang." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

There is no time to worry, the Queen Mother looked at the news of the yellow cloth box seal blankly, lazy and didn't want to move, Zuo Zongtang only arrived at Yumen Pass not long ago, there could be no good news, and it must be a bad thing to come now. After a while, the Queen Mother came back to her senses from her sleepy state, there was too much bad news, she was too lazy to read it, but she had to look at it, "Open it." Liang Ruyi used a small silver knife to cut paper to break the seal, opened the box, and handed the fold inside to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother sat on the kang with a solemn expression, and muttered in her mouth, "The sunshine is always after the wind and rain, not in a hurry, not in a hurry, in a hurry, and in a hurry to eat hot tofu......" and then opened, such a rough glance, Liang Ruyi saw that the Queen Mother's eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, but there didn't seem to be much anger, so it can be seen that it is not bad news, "En?"

The Queen Mother thought slightly, "This matter was actually met by Wu Yundi again, this kid, is it true or a blessing?" Kindness? The Queen Mother saw Liang Ruyi's cautious appearance, "It's a good thing!" Wake up, regardless of who is on an errand at this time, come in and discuss. ”

"Huh." Liang Ruyi immediately took the order and left, the Queen Mother took the fold, the fold was directly reported by telegram, it was very brief, just coarse and coarse to say things in dozens of words, there was no long talk about the 800 miles urgent, the telegram was fast, but it could not say a few words, at this time the Empress Dowager Cixi was very nostalgic for the future Internet era, a moment to reach, even if the phone is available, now it is excellent. The Queen Mother took the fold and looked at it over and over, "It seems that the Xinjiang Ministries are not completely of the same mind as Agubai, this is an opportunity, it depends on whether Zuo Zongtang can seize this opportunity!" ”

More than 200 miles to the southwest outside the Yumen Pass, it is the Tara Gama Desert, although the desert is a barren land, but there are also many oases, bypass a large piece of stone forest that is eroded by the wind and the strange shape of the fangs and claws, there is a large crisp poplar forest in the sand sea, which faintly sings, there are many sheep and cattle outside the oasis strolling and grazing grass, it can be seen that the war in Xinjiang continues for more than a thousand miles, and it has not yet been affected here.

A group of people dressed in white robes, wearing white hats on their heads, and scimitars hanging from their waists, escorted several cloth bags through the poplar forest, and arrived near a puddle, where there was a huge tent, and there were many guards outside, and they were heavily guarded.
