Chapter 24: The Assassins of the Palace (1)



"The emperor ordered Wei Guogong to return to Beijing to recuperate." Ding Ying turned around and wanted to walk away.

Tang Yun was anxious when he heard this: "Wei Guogong is gone, what about the selection of people?" ”

"Yo, I don't know about this, I'll ask the handsome." Ding Ying was so busy that he couldn't remember it anymore, so he said busily.

"Go and ask." Tang Yun said urgently.

"Okay, Miss Tang, I'll ask Dashuai right away." Ding Ying hurriedly left.

After a while, Ding Ying came back: "Miss Tang." ”

Tang Yun immediately greeted the door: "How is it?" Did you ask? General Ding? ”

"I asked the marshal, and the marshal said that I would preside over the matter, continue to select people, and let me lead the team to Beiping City to listen to Lord Zhu's dispatch after I have chosen."

"You don't go back to the capital with Wei Guogong?"

"I also asked, and the marshal said that it was not appropriate to bring more soldiers when he returned to Beijing to recuperate, and he did not let me go with him, and said that the military situation was critical, and ordered me to stay here to handle this matter." Probably because Xu Da didn't let Ding Ying go back to Beijing together, Ding Ying was very reluctant in his words, but he still honestly told Tang Yun the truth.

"Oh, when will Wei Guogong leave?"

"The decree says to leave immediately, but we still have to pack up and leave about tomorrow. I have to go, Miss Tang, I have to pack up for Dashuai. ”

"What's the hurry? It's not that there is no one, do you have to go? Maya saw that Ding Ying's sad face seemed to be just unhappy because she couldn't go back to the capital with Xu Da, and she didn't take Zhu Wenyu's matter to heart at all, she was very unaccustomed to it, and blurted out that it was too late for Tang Yun to stop it.

"That's not the case, Mayan girl, I've been following Dashuai for a long time, and there are some things that only I know where to put them." As the chief soldier, how many battles has Ding Ying seen with Xu Da? How can you see a little girl? He left in a hurry after dropping a word.

"This man, really." Maya pouted.

"Maya, don't say it, General Ding has followed Wei Guogong for so many years, and it's true that he is reluctant for a while, don't blame him." After all, Tang Yun is a little older, and in front of Maya, she pays special attention to the demeanor of being a sister, and always persuades and teaches her ignorant sister, if she is alone in front of Zhu Wenyu, it will reveal the true colors of her little daughter's family.

Who knew that Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, was not in a hurry to leave, not only did he not leave on the second day, but he did not move on the third and fourth days, Tang Yun Maya was a little strange, the holy decree said that it was "start immediately", this Xu Da actually dared to delay for a few days? Why? Seeing that the sergeants in Wei Yuan were busy going in and out, no one paid attention to them, and Ding Ying didn't see a shadow, and they all shook their heads and didn't know what they were busy with.

Until the evening of the fourth day, only to hear a dull sound, Tang Yun and the two felt strange, this sound had never been heard, out of the house to listen quietly, after a short time, has gradually heard clearly, it turned out to be the sound of horses' hooves, but I don't know how many horses are rushing towards this side, I am afraid that there are hundreds of horses, the sound of hooves is like thunder.

After a short while, all the horsemen stopped outside Wei Yuanzhuang, and saw a general in armor and carrying a sword hurriedly walking towards Wei Yuan, Tang Yun and the others were greatly surprised, thinking to themselves why so many generals came? Thinking of the original suspicion that Xu Da was the mastermind behind the Tianyi League, although he didn't see any clues in the past few days, he couldn't prove that this important minister of the imperial court, Wei Guogong, was not the mastermind of the Tianyi League who wanted to rebel. Tang Yun made a silent gesture towards Maya and beckoned, and the two girls quietly hid behind the rockery to cover the Guanlan Hall.

I saw that those generals did not enter the house when they arrived at the Guanlan Hall, but just stood still in the open space outside the hall, one by one they stood majestically and majestically, and when they saw each other, they nodded to each other, obviously they were all familiar people, but no one said a word, except for the sound of footsteps that kept coming, and they didn't even hear the sound of coughing.

There are more and more generals entering the garden, most of them are dressed similarly to Ding Ying, and they are all senior generals above the general army, standing solemnly one by one, staring at the door of Guanlan Hall.

Tang Yun and the others hid behind the rockery not far away, and they didn't dare to make a sound, not knowing what would happen in front of them.

Hearing only a soft squeak, the main door of Guanlan Hall slowly opened, and everyone's eyes immediately turned to the door, and after a while, Xu Da sat in a small recliner and was carried out by two sergeants, followed by Ding Ying, the chief soldier. I saw that Xu Da's face was slightly pale, and his face still with a thick beard looked much thinner than a month ago, but his eyes swept away two cold lights, but they revealed an indescribable sharpness and majesty, which was completely different from Tang Yun, Zhu Wenyu and others when he spoke on weekdays, as if he was not a person at all, Tang Yun looked at it from a distance, and only felt a strange feeling.

When the generals saw him come out, they knelt on one knee and shouted in unison: "Meet the big handsome!" This voice stood out, but the second girl was startled, but this little one hundred and ten people, these words were even louder than the voices of the thousands of people on the field.

"Get up." Xu Da's voice was serene.

"Xie Dashuai!" The generals roared in unison again, and stood up in unison.

"The people here are all brothers who have followed me Xu Da for many years, and in the past few decades, we have never left a step, at most we have returned to Beijing for half a month and a month." Xu Da said slowly, his voice was quite low: "But this time I went back to Beijing to recuperate at the holy order, I'm afraid it will be rare to come back for a while, the emperor has an order, and the defense of northern Xinjiang will be taken over by King Yan." Xu Da paused, and his voice became higher and higher: "I, Xu Da, called the brothers to come, there are several meanings, one of them: this little boil on my back is not a serious illness, but the emperor's grace is vast, and the emperor's love and care are ordered to return to Beijing to recuperate, and I will come back as soon as I recover from my illness, brothers don't worry." Second: There is a decree in the saint, after I leave, the army will be controlled by King Yan, although King Yan is young, but since it is under his command, everyone must not be lazy, you must treat King Yan the same as me, and there must be no slackness, if anyone dares to disobey the order and break the military order, even if King Yan is embarrassed to deal with you, I will have to tear him up and throw him into the mountains to feed the wolves! Third: the defense of northern Xinjiang is related to the safety of the Ming Dynasty, it is a big thing, King Yan is young, may be a little worse, everyone must help a lot, no matter what the movement of the army, what military orders King Yan has, in addition to obeying the order, all report to me quickly, if there is any mistake, I will go to the king of Yan to say, everyone will obey the order first, and then say, no one shall disobey the military order, and the violator should not blame me for being ruthless and ruthless, and I can't take care of the brotherhood! Did you understand everything? ”

"Got it!" The generals roared in unison, and the roar was like a rainbow, like a wolf and a tiger.

"Okay, I'll leave for Beijing tomorrow, the army can't be left without a general, you can go back to the camp for me now!" If anyone dares to be negligent and negligent, and misunderstand the military situation, he will come to the capital to see me with his head raised!"

"Obey!" The generals said in unison.

"Let's go back!" Xu Da seemed to be a little tired, his voice was much lower, and he waved his hand gently.

"Congratulations to the handsome!" All the generals fell to their knees again in unison, and then got up one by one and turned silently and walked out of the garden, only to hear the sound of horses' hooves, and they really went out one by one, and no longer like the drums of war and thunder as when they came.

Seeing the last general leave the garden, Xu Da leaned down on the recliner weakly, waved his hand, and as soon as Ding Ying signaled, the two sergeants carefully carried the recliner into the house again.

Behind the rockery, Tang Yun pulled Maya's clothes and made a look, and the two quietly turned back to the Caixiu Pavilion.

"This Xu Da is really scary." Maya stuck out her tongue at Tang Yun.

"Hmm." Tang Yun just responded casually, still thinking back to what Xu Da said to the generals, that Xu Da just said something, the first point said that the generals were affectionate, the second point said that they followed the general's orders, and the third point said that they were cautious and cautious, loyal and patriotic, and there seemed to be nothing suspicious. It's just that there has always been this kind of suspicion, Tang Yun also knows that he is young and inexperienced, maybe even if he can't find out something, it still has to be discussed by Zhu Wenyu and the three of them to really have a result, especially the desert, which is analyzed layer by layer, cutting bones and flesh, profound and incisive. Forget it, it's better to remember what Xu Da said, go back and tell the desert a few of them word for word, so that they can take a good look at what the nature of this Wei Duke Xu Da is.

Thinking of this, Tang Yun shook his head slightly in his heart, don't think about these things for the time being, it is also an important matter to find out the Mongolian military situation, so let's do the things in front of me first. It's just that Xu Da will set off for Beijing tomorrow, it's best to look for him before leaving, and finalize this matter, who will he do after he leaves, and take the selected person back to Beiping City as soon as possible, it's been almost ten days, and Zhu Wenyu and the two should have been in a hurry.
