Chapter 208: Messenger!
"Hahaha, you don't blame me, you just don't understand me." Xu Kailin shook his head, "Go back and rest."
Wei Qing nodded and left, there were many guards in the dark, so she couldn't run around, so she could only obediently go back to the Heart Cultivation Palace.
Xu Kailin also lowered his head and left thoughtfully, in fact, he still hid a reason and didn't say.
Keeping Wei Qing today is a backhand he kept, and it can be regarded as a vote for Shen Yunfan.
As Shen Yunfan's opponent, he knew better than anyone the horror of this Zuo Prime Minister. The current Concubine Zhao looks beautiful, but when Shen Yunfan returns to Beijing, it is not certain who will win and who will lose.
Keeping Wei Qing is definitely beneficial and harmless to Xu Kailin.
"Concubine Zhao, I want to see if you can beat Shen Yunfan, but don't die too fast, hehe." Xu Kailin smiled at this time, and there was some expectation in his heart.
……
Chuzhou City.
An eight-hundred-mile urgency sent all the news of what happened in the capital.
Wan Hao, Li Cheng, Niu Yi and others are now all generals of the Northern Command Army, and they are now stationed in Chuzhou City to deal with military affairs. Moreover, Chuzhou City is very short of manpower, so when Wei Qing came to Chuzhou before, he asked Feng Chime to stay here to help.
Now that they suddenly heard the news of a change of emperor, the four of them were all dumbfounded.
The three elders and a young girl gathered together to discuss the matter.
"They say the emperor is a woman, so he voluntarily abdicated, do you think this is true?" Marriott asked, staring at the letter.
Niu Yi nodded and said, "I don't think it's true, you think about it, Lord Shen is very close to the emperor, I used to think that they were a couple, and now they happen to be seated!"
In the face of speculation, Feng Chime did not hide it, so he nodded and said, "The emperor is indeed a woman, and this abdication is probably also true."
Hearing this, the faces of the three of them changed.
"In that case, why don't we stand still?" Marriott scratched his head. Born in a barbarian, he didn't know much about the things in these courts.
Niu Yi also hesitated, not knowing how to decide.
The emperor is a woman, and he abdicated on his own initiative, should they go back?
In contrast, only Li Cheng's brain was more bright, he just pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Let me ask you, who single-handedly pulled us?"
"Of course it's Lord Shen, we have no disagreement with Lord Shen!" Several people did not hesitate.
"Then tell me, what does Lord Shen often warn us?"
"Loyal to the country and the king, for the country and the people!"
"Yes, Lord Shen wants us to be loyal to the monarch, and the one who is loyal is Emperor Wei Qing of Yongkang! So, do we call her a man or a woman?" Li Cheng's eyes already had a hint of determination.
Hearing this, Wanhao and Niu Yi glanced at each other, and they both understood what Li Cheng meant.
"In that case, our Northern Commander will go back and save the Emperor!"
Feng Chime also nodded and said, "Yes, we are going to save Sister Wei Qing!"
"First send someone to send a letter to Qianyuan City and inform Lord Shen!" Li Cheng instructed, "Let's go south with our whole army, but don't go directly to the capital, take a look at the situation in Dongxing City first, and wait for Lord Shen's order by the way!"
"Good!" All three felt that this was a safe plan.
Li Cheng's face was a little solemn, and he reminded again, "Choose a few dead soldiers to send the letter...... Remember, you must send a few more routes to ensure that the news is sent to Qianyuan City!"
They agreed, and went their separate ways.
As for the various military affairs in Chuzhou, they could only put it on hold for the time being......
Three hours later, several teams of dead men who were responsible for delivering the letter galloped close to the border of Xilin State.
Xilin Prefecture is mountainous, so there are only five official roads into Xilin Prefecture from the east, and as for other small mountain roads, there is no way to run horses at all.
On one of the official roads, the three dead men rode fast, but just as they entered a mountain depression, a rope suddenly rose from the ground!
Although the three of them saw the rope, the speed of the horse was too fast, and it was too late to slow down. So the horse's leg stumbled on the rope and fell suddenly, three
The person flew out a few feet away.
After struggling for a long time, they struggled to get up from the ground, but dozens of black-clothed people had already surrounded them.
The face of the leading dead soldier changed, and he drew his sword and shouted, "Break through!"
But two fists were invincible to four hands, even if they fought to the death, they couldn't break through in the end, and all three of them were killed on the spot.
The man in black sneered and said, "Continue to ambush, there may be others."
"I wonder if the other trails are going well?"
"Leave them alone, we'll just keep the way." After the group finished speaking, they disposed of the corpse and hid again.
A similar plot is also staged on several other official roads. Almost all of the dead soldiers sent by the Northern Commander Army to deliver the letter died tragically.
At this time, on the fifth official road, six dead soldiers were fighting to the death.
They are a squad of the Eastern Army of the Northern Command Army, and the leader is called Fei Jun and is from Jiaozhou. At this time, he cut down the two black-clothed men in front of him, and he was already covered with knife wounds.
Fighting through the pain, he shouted, "No matter what, one of us must escape and deliver the message!"
As he spoke, he glanced at the others.
Several of their brothers came all the way from Jiaozhou and participated in the battle of Chuzhou, and they had long been fatal friends. At this time, they all understood what each other meant.
So, Fei Jun stepped forward and handed the letterbox to the thinnest young man among them.
"Old ...... Boss." The young man held the letterbox, and his hand holding the knife suddenly trembled.
Fei Jun patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Little Liuzi, you are the only son in the family, and you are young, you can go and deliver the letter." Our brothers didn't care, so I'll give you a ride at the end."
Xiao Liuzi's hands trembled so much that he couldn't say a word.
Someone next to him shouted, "Boss, I can't hold it anymore!"
Fei Jun's face changed, he patted Xiao Liuzi's shoulders with both hands, and shouted, "Aren't you running fast? Then I order you to run! Keep running! Don't look back!"
With that, he rushed forward with a knife in his hand, hugged the few black-clothed men in front of him, and overwhelmed them alive.
Allowing the sword to stab into his body, Fei Jun spat blood from his mouth, and he didn't let go.
The other four also rushed forward, but when they passed by Xiao Liuzi, they raised their hands and patted him on the head.
"Live well."
After that, the four of them also used their flesh and blood to push the black-clothed people around them away, and under their almost crazy counterattack, they forced a way forward.
Xiao Liuzi held the letter box tightly and ran out like crazy.
In the crowd, Fei Jun put down his last struggling hand, and Xiao Liuzi's tears also burst out of his eyes. But his footsteps did not stop, and the thin figure just went into the mountains and forests and disappeared......
