Chapter Seventy-Three: Chen Gong in Distress

At the end of the time, Jinchangfang.

The Jin Wang's Mansion was brightly lit, the courtyard was deep, the cold wind was howling and wreaking, the sound of horses' hooves was bursting, Xiahou Chun had just entered the mansion, and the old king of the porter whispered: "Your Highness, there are guests from the north." ”

With a squeak behind him, Liu Wenzhen led the horse to the porter and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, what's wrong?" ”

Xiahou Chun waved his hand, said unhindered, glanced behind him, and muttered that this girl actually went back.

Liu Wenzhen, who is good at observing words and feelings, immediately replied: "Miss Fang returned to the Xiang study in Wenluofang. ”

"Oh, finally get rid of this." Xiahou Chun breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a relaxed face.

Immediately he stepped into the front hall with his robe on his head and broad chest.

Before entering the hall, I saw a middle-aged man in plain clothes get up and bow down to him: "The lowly Jiang Weijun sees His Royal Highness the Prince, a thousand years old." ”

Xiahou Chun's figure was stunned, and he looked at the middle-aged man in front of him intently.

The name of Chitose originates from Qianyan, except for the concubine and the queen, only the prince enjoys it, even the celebrant only dares to trespass in private.

His face softened, he helped him up, and said softly: "Jiang Hanlin doesn't need to be polite. ”

Jiang Weijun raised his eyes and was stunned, and then sighed: "I didn't expect His Highness to remember someone Jiang, and I am ashamed of my position." ”

This Jiang Weijun had a bad fate, he was a scholar in the last years of Taizong, and was first awarded the Hanlin Academy for editing, but the hat of "New Imperial Juzi" has not yet been hot, so he was squeezed out of the Hanlin Academy after Emperor Jing succeeded to the throne, because of the identity of the "old party", and after some turnover, he went to Suzhou to take root.

Searching for memory, this person actually climbed to the position of the governor of Suzhou in just fifteen years, with a dignified six-grade official rank, second only to the history of Suzhou Thorn.

His heart moved, and he stared and asked, "I don't know if Lord Jiang is here this time, but what is the important matter?" ”

Unexpectedly, Jiang Weijun choked up when he heard this, and knelt down with a pop, which moved Xiahou Chun, and he hurriedly helped him up: "Lord Jiang, what are you doing?" Hurry up, please. ”

Jiang Weijun had tears in his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "Please be merciful and save Lord Chen." ”

Xiahou Chun changed color and asked in a tight voice, "Chen Gong?" What happened to him? ”

Jiang Weijun's face was miserable, "Your Highness also knows that before the tenth month, Lord Chen should be ordered by the center to go out to suppress the Suzhou Assassin History and comfort one side. ”

Chen Gong was implicated in the 'prince's rebellion', first voluntarily saved the prince in the 'phase', and then was demoted to Suzhou in the northwest after Concubine Xiao came to the dynasty.

Xiahou Chun's thin lips were pursed, and after taking a deep breath, he said, "What happened later?" ”

Jiang Weijun's eyes were in a trance, and he said sadly: "After the lord arrived, he worked tirelessly to go to the township fortress with the respect of the prime minister to comfort the army and the people, but there were unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and suddenly the clouds and iron horses Nankou, not only killed hundreds of fathers and elders on my border, but also kidnapped Lord Chen!" ”

"What? You said that Yunxiao has already taken Nankou and kidnapped Chen Ge Lao? Xiahou Chunhuo changed color, and immediately said angrily: "What are you doing to eat, how can you let Chen Ge Lao be in danger alone?" ”

Jiang Weijun was grief-stricken, and said bitterly: "Please also ask Your Highness to forgive me the guilt, Lord Chen is in danger because of the poor protection of his subordinates, and it has nothing to do with the rest of the people, and please don't anger innocent soldiers." ”

He smiled miserably: "Chen Ge Lao's captivity is all a fault of his humble position, and His Royal Highness has no complaints if he wants to kill or cut down his humble position, but I implore His Royal Highness to go north immediately and rescue Chen Ge Lao." ”

Liu Wenzhen, who was silently approaching, handed over a document in his hand and whispered: "The center sent a letter, urging His Highness to go north immediately, and the imperial palace is outside the border." ”

After snatching the order letter, I saw that it was recorded that 'Yanyun was attacked, Shuofang was plundered, and military aid was urgently needed, so the prince was given the title of 'General Yubei' to assist the Yuzhou Assassin Shi Ji Cicada Town Border Imperial Kou." ’

The date is the sixth day of the first lunar month, and today is the thirteenth, and the seventh day has passed!

He turned his eyes coldly and asked Liu Wenzhen: "Why was this letter handed over to me today?" ”

Liu Wenzhen smiled bitterly, "Your Highness, this letter only arrived today, and it is with Lord Jiang." ”

Threat! Bossy! And even sarcasm!

The dignified secretary of state was taken captive, and he was still within the border, so you can imagine how much shame this matter will bring to the Dajing court!

With a tear, Xiahou Chun tore up the paperwork and said sharply: "Where is the black-robed guard?" ”

With a snort, Lin Hua, who was covered in a black robe, knelt silently, and a deep voice sounded: "According to the clues obtained by the Taikang brothers, this matter was suppressed by the center for three days, and after two days of discussion in the imperial court, it was decided that His Royal Highness would immediately go north to pacify, and there would be no news from the rest." ”

Xiahou Chun was incredulous, and said angrily: "That old lady really wants to corrupt my country?" ”

The needles in the hall could be heard, Jiang Weijun tightened Xiahou Chun's trouser robe, and said silently: "I implore Your Highness to go north as soon as possible to rescue Chen Ge Lao, it will be too late." ”

Xiahou Chun helped Jiang Weijun, who knelt down again, and could see that this person's words and deeds came from the bottom of his heart.

He sighed in his heart that it had been ten days since Chen Gong was taken captive, and his people might have already been escorted to the capital of Yunxiao Kingdom, and unless they used all their strength to fight against Yunxiao, they would definitely not let him return.

However, it can be seen from the Privy Letter that this matter is difficult to do, after all, it is not a wise man's move to mobilize national strength for one person.

Jiang Weijun saw that Xiahou Chun was indecisive, and pleaded with tears in his eyes: "I implore Your Highness to be gracious and save Chen Ge from fire and water." ”

After gritting his teeth, he pulled out a dagger from his waist and poked it directly into his heart, Xiahou Chun changed color, the wind whistled in his palm, knocked the dagger off, and shouted angrily: "What are you doing!" ”

"Chen Ge Lao was captured because of his dereliction of duty, I am willing to pay for one life, I just ask His Highness to save Ge Lao as soon as possible!" Jiang Weijun hissed miserably.

After some tossing and appeasement, he persuaded him, and Xiahou Chun said in a deep voice: "Chen Ge Lao is alive or dead, I don't know, rather than blaming myself here, it is better to find out the cause of this matter and find the whereabouts of Ge Lao." ”

Jiang Weijun suddenly grabbed Xiahou Chun and said quickly: "Elder Ge was not taken to Tianshou City, but was sent to Muxu Kingdom, a vassal country of Yunxiao, and their summons must be sent by His Royal Highness himself before he can be released!" ”

"Presumptuous!" Liu Wenzhen, who was waiting outside the hall, shouted: "Your Highness is a daughter, how can you be in danger alone, Lord Jiang must not make a mistake about yourself, and if you make such a mistake again, you will not blame the court for treating you for the crime of 'murdering the prince'!" ”

Xiahou Chun pursed his lips and didn't say a word, stopping Liu Wenzhen, his mind was spinning quickly, Yunxiao must be coming at him, otherwise why did he do this?

He stared at Jiang Weijun and said in a deep voice: "What is the surname of the person in charge who came to Yunxiao?" ”

Jiang Weijun wiped the old tears from the corners of his eyes, and hurriedly replied: "His name is Zonghua, and he said that he would avenge His Highness's 'revenge for killing his brother'." ”

Xiahou Chun was stunned, "The revenge of killing my brother? How has this palace ever killed the people of the clouds? ”

Behind him, Liu Wenzhen hesitated slightly, and asked tentatively: "Could it be that his brother's name is called Zongzhen?" ”

Xiahou Chun's face changed slightly, and he said coldly: "Isn't Zongzhen a disciple sent by my Heavenly Dome Pavilion?" How can it be related to the clouds? ”

His eyes were calm, and his tone was grim, "There is also this palace that has only killed Zongzhen for half a month, or in the hinterland of my Guanzhong, how do they know about the thieves in the clouds?" ”

After Liu Wenzhen's face changed, he woke up and said hatefully: "It must be some rebels in Tongguan who sent a message to the Northern Barbarians to take revenge on His Highness." ”

Xiahou Chun's face was dark, and he slipped Zongzhen in his mind, he was a person from the Heavenly Dome Pavilion, and he had been to Yunxiao, could it be that he was dropped in Yunxiao back then?

Jiang Weijun asked nervously, "Does Your Highness have a clue?" ”

After exhaling the turbid air, Xiahou Chun was silent for a while, his eyes were cold, and he said slowly: "If this palace has not expected it to be wrong, this time Chen Ge Lao is probably guarding me off the disaster." ”

"Your Highness, what do you mean by this?" Jiang Weijun was puzzled.

Xiahou Chun sighed lightly, and said in a quiet voice: "They thieves are rampant, they invade my border, kill my people, if this palace does not destroy them all, how can they be worthy of my people?" ”

He flicked his embroidered robe, Huo Ran turned around, and said sharply to Lin Hua, the leader of the black-robed guards outside the hall: "Transfer all the black-robed guards to the north, and make every effort to explore the whereabouts of Chen Ge Lao, five days, this palace will only wait for you for five days, and you must see all the ins and outs of this matter within five days!" ”

Lin incarnate trembled, prostrate on the ground, and said in a solemn voice: "No! ”

Immediately, a black shadow struck, and the sound of breaking the air continued one after another, as if rushing to the north with all his might.

Jiang Weijun's body was paralyzed, as if he had collapsed.

However, Xiahou Chun did not give up, and said expressionlessly to a certain place in the hall: "This palace hopes that the Qiu Pavilion Lord will give me an explanation!" ”

Liu Wenzhen glanced at it coldly and approached Xiahou Chun to show vigilance.

After a moment of silence, he replied in an astringent voice: "The lowly will convey it truthfully." ”

After snorting coldly, Xiahou Chun instructed Liu Wenzhen again: "Send a letter to the old man Xu Ge in the court, I want to meet the governor of Liangzhou." ”

Liu Wenzhen's expression was solemn, and he immediately said yes.

The governor of Liangzhou is named Xu Fu, a descendant of the former King of Liangxi in Yanxi, and has guarded the Dajing frontier for nearly ten years.

His name is Dudu, but he is actually 'King of Liang!' ’
