Chapter 261
Wang Chengen went and returned, and Zhu Youzhen was a little strange. Wang Chengen looked around in embarrassment, and Zhu Youzhen immediately understood. With a wave of his hand, the chamberlain and the palace people retreated like a tide.
"Everyone is gone, you can say it." For this old eunuch who has served him for more than ten years, Zhu Youxiao still trusts him.
"Uh......!" Wang Chengen glanced at Empress Zhang in embarrassment.
Zhu Youzhen also glanced at Empress Zhang, and saw that she had no intention of withdrawing. As the closest ally in the palace, Zhu Youzhen is not easy to rush. "The imperial sister-in-law is not an outsider, you can say it."
"The one who escorted the old slave back to Beijing this time was Wu Sangui, the son of the chief soldier Wu Xiang. Along the way, the old slave has tried many times, this son is quite ambitious, if long live him. It is equivalent to burying a nail in Li Xiao, and he may be able to receive miraculous results one day. ”
"Oh!" Zhu Youzhen glanced back at Empress Zhang, such a thing is indeed not easy for outsiders to know. Now he regrets letting Empress Zhang stay, but things are already like this. Besides, Empress Zhang is also a person who can't leave the palace, so if you listen to it, you can't kill people!
"Xuan Wu Sangui go to the palace, I want to see it." Zhu Youzhen did not hesitate for a second, and immediately announced that he had summoned Wu Sangui.
Hearing that the emperor had summoned him, Wu Sangui's excited eyes lit up. After tidying up his military uniform, he followed the chamberlain into the Qianqing Palace.
*******************************************
The holy decree that Li Xiao received was brought back by Wu Sangui, and although there was no cabinet seal on it, there was a jade seal. Theoretically, this is a flawed will, but what Li Xiao wants is a will, and who cares if there is a flaw. Anyway, it was covered with the emperor's jade seal, and it was not carved with a radish by himself.
Besides, the will of the right and lawful will will be in a few days. Now that there is a chicken feather, Li Xiao can also be used as an arrow.
Wu Xiang and Zu Dashou were very happy, and they took the cavalry company to escort Wang Chengen, and Wu Sangui was personally awarded the Xuanjie Lieutenant by the emperor. At a young age, he is already a school captain, and his future is promising.
Man Gui also returned to Shanhaiguan with the silver, a full 500,000 taels of silver. The ox cart stretched for a long distance, and it was not until the silver entered the treasury that Li Xiao was relieved. This bamboo pole knocked a full 500,000 taels. After Zhu Youzhen ascends the throne, there will be 800,000 taels in the account.
Jiangnan rice merchants have raised the price of rice, but there are more than one million taels at the bottom, and there is more than enough to make up for the gap.
Besides, there is also Shi Kefa's large arms list.
Everyone came back, and Li Xiao was busy loading the ship. Transporting the 1st Cavalry Division back to Shandong will be easy to do no matter what people say. The transportation of war horses took up a bit of space, and it took a few days to transport Mangui's 1st Cavalry Division back to Shandong.
was busy loading the ship, Xu Xianchun came again. This time Xu Xianchun seemed very anxious, calculating the days, the day before Zhu Youzhen officially ascended the throne on the day he left Beijing, it is estimated that he did not know that Li Xiao had become the governor of Shandong.
"Brother! The money is also here, you have to send troops quickly. Xu Xianchun was so anxious that the silver had been in Shanhaiguan for two days. But none of Li Xiao's soldiers left Shanhaiguan and marched to the capital!
"Brother Xu, how can I break my promise to you. There are still 300,000 taels of silver waiting for me in the capital, and that's 300,000 taels of silver. You see, my soldiers are all on board. It only takes one night to land in Tianjin. Li Xiao stood on the city wall and pointed to the 1st Cavalry Division that was loading ships.
"Really?" Xu Xianchun did see that people and horses kept boarding the boat through the dock. It looks like it's going to be pulled out!
"Can I lie to you? After loading the ship tonight, we will be able to arrive in Tianjin Wei tomorrow. Maybe tomorrow night, these cavalry will be able to reach the capital. Li Xiao lied and did not change his face.
"Why don't you take the land route, it's not far from Shanhaiguan to the capital." Xu Xianchun is still very puzzled, Shanhaiguan is really not far from the capital, because Mao wants to go to Tianjin Wei by sea and land, isn't this taking off his pants and farting?
"Brother Xu, you don't understand, you have to raise horsepower in battle. When the war horse is tired, how can it be strong when fighting? Therefore, it is also good to let the horse run a mile less. Let's not talk about this, since we are here, let's go, drink and go! Li Xiao heroically pulled Xu Xianchun's arm.
Xu Xianchun was reluctant in his heart, and did not wait for the news of Li Xiao's troops. got the news that Li Xiao had taken all the money away, and Wei Zhongxian scolded Xu Xianchun for being bloody. He came to Shanhaiguan again!
But now there is no way, now begging Li Xiao, I really can't afford to offend this kid.
The wine is accompanied by old acquaintances, Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang. The two brothers united with Li Xiao, and there were two more young girls around them, and the persuasion of the left cup was persuaded by the cup.
I don't know what's wrong, Xu Xianchun drinks a pound of alcohol on weekdays, but today he fell asleep on the table after drinking half a catty.
"Li Zhongzi's anesthetic is really good." Li Xiao pulled Xu Xianchun's head and found that this guy was really unconscious. Not to mention, the anesthetic of traditional Chinese medicine is still relatively easy to use. Li Zhongzi has already prepared a prescription medicine, and the effect of Tang Ruowang's surgery is very good.
Today, Xu Xianchun became a guinea pig again.
"I went to Shandong, and this guy will send him back to the capital when he wakes up." Li Xiao pushed the wine glass. Now time is of the essence, and we must rush to Jinan as quickly as possible. Otherwise, Chen Hailong, who knew the letter, would not have run away.
"You kid is cheating the dead and not paying for his life, Xu Xianchun is afraid that he won't live for a few days when he returns to Beijing this time." Sun Chengzong looked at the unconscious Xu Xianchun and shook his head helplessly. This guy is a little stupid, but Li Xiao is so deceitful, to be honest, it is indeed a little unauthentic.
"The fifth master heard some rumors in the capital, and one of them was very appalling. Yang Lian died of a big red-hot nail driven into his head, and Zuo Guangdou was the same. And the person who tortured them and drove a nail in their head was this Xu Xianchun.
And Wang Wenyan! Before Wang Wenyan died, Xu Xianchun once forged his confession in front of Wang Wenyan. Wang Wenyan's last words were, I will confront you even if I die. How? You're ......! Ay......! Can't smash, can't smash. Zu Dashou, quickly help take down the wine bottle. ”
Li Xiao was happy to say it, and Sun Chengzong was about to smash Xu Xianchun's head when he picked up the wine bottle. Li Xiao hurriedly stopped him, and Zu Dashou beside him was quick and snatched the wine bottle. looked at Sun Chengzong vigilantly, for fear that this stimulated old guy would bite.
"Old Sun, how can he have the law of the country. Wei Zhongxian can't be bounced for a few days, and you're still afraid that he won't be liquidated. It is better to die under the knife of national law than to be lynched by us. Li Xiao persuaded Sun Chengzong while stopping him.
"That's right! Right! Right! Sun Lao, when he arrived in the capital for this crime, he should be cut with a thousand knives. Being stoned to death by you like this is considered a cheap deal. You see, he didn't feel anything after taking anesthetic, so it was cheap for him to die. Wu Xiang was also persuaded on the side.
Perhaps it was Wu Xiang's words that played a role, and Sun Chengzong finally stopped committing murder. He snorted heavily in his nose, turned around and left.
"People have to be optimistic, this bastard can die in anyone's hands, but he can't die in our hands. When he woke up, he sent him back to the capital. Seeing that Sun Chengzong was gone, Li Xiao ordered Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang.
"No! Don't worry, just leave it to us. Zu Dashou patted his chest and promised.
Man Gui's ship had already left, and Li Xiao boarded the boat and chased Man Gui with full sails. Depart in the afternoon and arrive at Penglai Wharf tomorrow morning. This bastard must be killed before Chen Hailong escapes, he owes too much blood debt. In just half a year, the military families of the Liao army were forced to death by Chen Hailong.
The rest of the people who were raped, taken possession, and even driven mad were even more driven. If you don't catch this bastard, it's hard to get rid of the hatred in your heart.
Li Xiao sailed at sea for a night, and finally arrived in Penglai in the morning. The flying pigeon has been given to Ao Canghai, and Ao Canghai has left Penglai with the Japanese soldiers yesterday and headed inland. Now Penglai Harbor is guarded by only one battalion of men and horses.
When poor Xu Xianchun woke up, it was already the afternoon when the sun was setting in the west. When I turned over, my head hurt terribly. I opened the curtains and saw through the glass window that there were only a few fishing boats left in Shanhaiguan Port.
"Where's Li Xiao?" Xu Xianchun opened the door like crazy, and his entourage was waiting in the hall.
"If you go back to your lordship, I left yesterday afternoon. You're drunk, and your subordinates and other functions are waiting here. ”
"Yo ......! Brother Xu, you woke up, how are you hungry? Shall we have some more? Outside, Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang walked in with a smile.
Still drink ......! If you drink it again, you'll die!
When Xu Xianchun heard the word wine now, he was all overwhelmed. The inside of my stomach was burning, and my head hurt badly. If he drinks again, he will definitely not be able to return to the capital.
"My brother still has a nine-thousand-year-old errand with him, so don't blame the two chief soldiers. Where is Brother Li? Xu Xianchun wanted an accurate answer.
"I went to Tianjin Wei, didn't I tell you yesterday? If Brother Xu rushes back now, Brother Xiao will definitely enter the capital before you. Zu Dashou had the most sincere smile on his face.
"Oh! Oh! Yesterday I drank too much and forgot! Prepare the horse, and the official will return to the capital. Xu Xianchun was still not at ease, and immediately asked people to prepare horses, and he was ready to return to Beijing immediately.
"What's the hurry, people are iron and rice is steel. It's too late to eat and leave, and it's not half an hour. Zu Dashou persuaded beside him.
"Busy with official duties, next time! The next time the two general soldiers go to the capital, Xu Mou will be the east, let's have a good drink in Donglaishun. ”
"Since there is official business, it is inconvenient to disturb. The kitchen made some buns for you to take with you on the road. ”
"It's a good feeling! Thank you, Mr. Zu. Xu Xianchun was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked Zu Dashou.
There were dozens of fist-sized buns in the huge cage drawer, Xu Xianchun and his men grabbed a few, and walked outside while eating. Zu Dashou also thoughtfully asked people to fill the mountain spring water with a military kettle and brought it to Xu Xianchun.
Xu Xianchun hugged his fists and thanked Zu Dashou and others, and galloped towards the capital under the west slanting sun.
"I said brother-in-law, what kind of stuffing is this bun, we don't have pork to eat, don't waste pork." Looking at the figure in the distance, Zu Dashou asked Wu Xiang without looking back.
"Leek egg filling." Wu Xiang replied indifferently.
"Holy! Leek and egg-filled buns, you let them ride horses to eat, and drink fucking cold water. You're trying to kill them! ”
