However, as soon as they entered the city, the "omnipotent" Zheng family came up again, this time not to say anything to them, but to see that they had no mounts, so they called people to lead a dozen horses from nowhere.

He also said that he didn't need to send it specially, and he would pick it up at the meeting later in time.

What this person is doing now is probably worried that this "favor", no matter how big or small, will only reach the hands of them, but it will not reach the ears of Aunt Taishou, so he added some more.

After tossing for a long time, a few people were indeed tired, and it was always good to have a horse to ride, so they didn't refuse, thanked them, and then walked away.

When they arrived, they handed over the horses to the janitor, and explained the origin. The janitor is used to seeing these things, so he knows how to deal with it, and Tang Mingyi doesn't need to say more.

Then a few people stepped into the courtyard, but they happened to pass by a person who had never seen a general of the Tongcheng Army before, and asked the little guy to know that this is the current general of the Tongcheng Army.

Tang Mingyi originally thought that Liu Niangzi was still asleep at this time, but he didn't want to get up so early to do things. The first army commander personally came to visit, which further confirmed the speculation that Tongcheng was ruled by Liu Niangzi. Tang Mingyi went straight to the courtyard where he retired, but was stopped by the little maid at the door.

"Miss, it's inconvenient right now?" Tang Mingyi was not annoyed, and only asked as a doorman.

"The eldest lady said that Mr. Tang has worked hard all the way, so he can go back to the hospital to rest first, and then come to have dinner together when the gold inspection is also there." The little guy replied politely.

Tang Mingyi knew in his heart that Liu Niangzi probably didn't know the situation at this time, but she didn't want her subordinates to have the behavior of coming to fight for merit first, so she gave such an attitude. So he didn't mean to leave, and replied: "I'm tired of returning to the eldest lady, this trip is not smooth, Jin Patrol is still dealing with some troublesome things outside the city, I will report the situation first, it is quite urgent, it is not good to delay." ”

When the little guy heard this, he said, "Mr. Tang, wait a minute", and then went back directly to clarify the situation with the old man.

In fact, Tang Mingyi's guess was not right or wrong, and such an attitude was indeed to show the attitude of not letting his subordinates compete for merit, but it was not for the purpose of worrying, but only for Tang Mingyi to see.

But she was not idle that night.

Lao Zhao waited for a long time in the place where Tongcheng and Dingyi County meet, but he didn't even receive news from half of Lianzhou.

It wasn't until yesterday evening that the two messengers finally ushered in, and they were escorted back quickly, and the time was roughly Tang Mingyi and the others who had just left the city on the front foot in the north, and Lao Zhao on the back foot They came in from the south gate.

After asking, I learned that these two people did not have any serious official positions, if they had to talk about it, they were just cronies of the right minister Feng Xian'er.

But since he is from Lianzhou and is a right-hand minister, he can't slack off. It was naturally difficult for him to come forward to receive him, so he was picked up by Liu Zhi, and he wanted to leave them to rest for two days, but these two people refused to do anything, and only said that they would bring two sentences for the right minister, and if they brought it, they would complete the task and return to the capital immediately.

There is nothing special about the words, only to say that there are many and miscellaneous things in the court now, and the deeds of Liu Taishou in Tongcheng are already known to the court, and the right minister remembers Liu Taishou's achievements, and after the overall situation is a little stable, he will definitely send someone to commend him.

These words are actually useless to listen to, but now there is nothing to be done, the Southern Chu court can still stand now, and the most weighty words are nothing more than the two people on the right and left, but Feng Xian'er or Song You, from the point of view of the rules, they can't directly say anything about the praise and disapproval of a county Taishou.

In principle, it is necessary to ask the Emperor of Southern Chu to make an edict in person, or Ling Guangjun must come forward.

The right minister sent someone to come privately, obviously with some intentions to win over, but in the end it can't be fanfare, even if someone knows, in the future, she can say that the situation is special, she will come forward to appease the heroes first, and the judgment of the reward is also left to the court.

Although it does not conform to the rules of the official face, it is not a particularly serious mistake, and it is not a particularly serious mistake, and it is good to sell oneself with the benefits of the imperial court, this kind of thing, many people in the Southern Chu Dynasty from top to bottom have done this in private. Unless there is a change in the status of the right minister, which gives people the opportunity to fall into the well, this matter is not a big deal.

Liu Zhu naturally understood this, so he thanked the two messengers from the saint to Lingguangjun, from the right minister to the two messengers, and then did not force them to stay, changed horses, prepared dry food and filled wine, and added ten taels of silver to each of them, and asked another commander to lead the troops to personally escort them to Dingyi County.

From entering the city to leaving the city, the two stayed for less than two hours. Wen didn't have time to see each other at all, so he had to give up, and only called Lao Zhao back to make new instructions.

It is nothing more than an arrangement for the 1,000 Liangzhou troops who followed Lao Zhao. Lao Zhao took these people to sleep outside for a long time, thinking that it was time to go back to the city for a short rest, but he didn't want to take on a new task.

As long as they left the city, they should not come back, and temporarily find a suitable place to camp in the woods west of Tongcheng, but they could not be in the name of the Tongcheng army, and they had to avoid people's eyes.

Lao Zhao was a little reluctant at first, not that he was afraid of hard work, but he felt that the previous bad fact was too boring, and the expression on his face was also very awkward.

So Wen Gu directly told him what Zhou Tong had done in the past few days, and now those Liangzhou soldiers outside the city had a lot of good things in their hands, and asked Lao Zhao to take people to make a meeting with them outside the city, and send some of the things back on both sides, and the rest should be rewarded.

Lao Zhao only felt that such a good errand should be done by Zhou Tong, and even called it a pity, and said to Wen that there will be such a good thing in the future, but the eldest lady must also think about him.

Wen Gu responded with a smile, only saying that Zhou Dutong happened to come back at night, and was sleeping in the outer courtyard at this time, and asked Lao Zhao to wake him up and ask where the people outside the city were.

Lao Zhao went out happily, and when Tang Mingyi saw him, he had just discussed with Zhou Tong and was ready to go out of the city again to make arrangements.

Only then can I think of the news sent by Feng Xian'er in Lianzhou with peace of mind.

These things are reasonable but unnecessary. There is really nothing to think about in the matter itself, what to think about is the difference between this time and the last time.

Lianzhou's attitude towards Liu Zhu was completely different on these two occasions. I'm afraid the changes all come from what she did in Tongcheng.

But the transmission of these things, whether it is manual transmission or carrier pigeons, etc., takes a lot of time to come and go, and even if the state responds, it will definitely not be so fast.

Sure enough, there was only one possibility.
