Chapter 102: Departure

Yingtian, Xinggong.

"Happy now, aren't you?"

In the palace school grounds, Zhu Jinghong stretched out his bow and set up arrows, aiming at a target a hundred steps away.

In order to integrate the skills of his predecessor as soon as possible, he has basically not slackened since he crossed over, and he will practice martial arts as long as he has time.

At this moment, beside him, Li Wenzhao was wearing a dark purple four-clawed unicorn official uniform, standing aside with an arrow in his hand, looking extremely deferential.

"It's all up to the Thirteenth Master to carry ......," Li Wenzhao smiled from ear to ear.

Follow the big guy to get out and ...... early This is his deepest feeling at the moment.

"I told you, as long as you do a good job, my recital will be easy to write......"

Although the words were lightly spoken, Zhu Jinghong also admitted that Li Wenzhao was transferred to Beijing to help himself.

Just half an hour ago, the order of the Beizhen Fu Si arrived, and Li Wenzhao would be transferred to the capital in half a month later and become the deputy of the Thousand Households in the South City.

Although it is a deputy thousand households, the official rank is the same as that of the local thousand households, and they are all military attachΓ©s from the fifth rank.

With a "whoosh", the arrow whistled away from the string.

"Hit...... The Thirteenth Master is mighty! Li Wenzhao was even happier than Zhu Jinghong.

After saying this, Li Wenzhao handed over another arrow, and Zhu Jinghong reached out and picked it up.

You must know that Li Wenzhao, a Jinyi Wei Qianhu, although his official rank is not high, he is also the person at the peak of power in Jinling Province, but at this moment he is like a house slave in front of Zhu Jinghong.

"When you go to the capital, you have to do a good job, and you have to get results as soon as possible, so as to live up to the grace of the saint!"

Zhu Jinghong said slowly, he had become more and more accustomed to his current identity, and it felt normal to admonish the senior officials of Jinyiwei.

"The teachings of the thirteenth master, the ministers must keep it in mind!"

Zhu Jinghong shot an arrow again, and there was no doubt that he hit the bull's-eye again, and today's rifle shooting mission was completed.

Throwing the bow to Hou Jing on the side, Zhu Jinghong walked to the coffee table not far away, and the eunuch Yu Hai had already held hot tea.

After taking the tea, Zhu Jinghong took a sip, and then said, "That...... Chen Yuntai, right? ”

"Yes!"

Putting down the teacup, Zhu Jinghong continued: "This person has some skills, you can take him back to Beijing, maybe he can help you!" ”

"That's what the minister thinks too!" Li Wenzhao replied.

Chen Yuntai does have some means, and his head is more flexible, and bringing him with him is also a help to Li Wenzhao.

Just as Zhu Jinghong was about to continue the order, he saw someone rushing in the distance, and he saw that his outfit was a person from the capital.

"Thirteenth Master, the front line is urgent!"

The originally leisurely state of mind was shattered by this sentence.

"What's going on?"

"The Thirteenth Master of Qiqi, the Japanese Kou broke through the encirclement of the official army and has now flowed to the territory of Liyang!"

"Liyang? Isn't that the territory of Yingtianfu? Zhu Jinghong lay down in a big groove.

Are you sure that the prince is going to suppress bandits, not to be a tour guide for the widows?

At this time, Zhu Jinghong looked at Li Wenzhao, the battle situation has changed so much, it stands to reason that Jinyiwei should have news.

Jin Yiwei does have news, and he is already on the way to Tianfu City, but it is still slower than the direct transmission of Dusi.

"And ......"

"What else, say it quickly!" Zhu Jinghong scolded coldly.

The person replied: "When I heard of the defeat of the army, the prince was in a hurry, vomiting blood and falling unconscious......"

This is really a roof leak that happened to rain overnight......

When Zhu Jinghong sighed, he was a little excited for a while, just because the opportunity he was waiting for had come.

"Vomiting blood? How sick you are? ”

In the eyes of the people around him, Zhu Jinghong's performance was just right, which was really worried about his brother.

"I have to go and see the fourth brother, in case he has a good ...... How can I explain to my father! ”

After saying these words, Zhu Jinghong became more and more flustered, and his expression looked a little crazy, this was simply too concerned about the prince.

"Thirteenth Master, don't worry, the prince only has a heavenly appearance!" Li Wenzhao stepped forward to persuade.

Zhu Jinghong didn't pay attention to it, but said to himself: "The fourth brother has vomited blood, I have to accompany him, I have to go to ......"

"Hou Jing ......"

"The minister is here!"

"Immediately give an order, let the guards get ready, and escort me to the fourth brother!"

After all, it was the prince who vomited blood, and only Zhu Jinghong was a relative in the huge Jinling, so he wanted to see it was reasonable, and no one could persuade him.

"Yes!" Hou Jing replied very simply.

"Thirteen masters, the Japanese are wandering outside, and you can let the guards send troops to escort them!"

Zhu Jinghong nodded, since he experienced the last danger, he was very concerned about the protection of personal safety.

Li Wenzhao looked at the people from Du Silai, and immediately ordered: "Why don't you hurry up and tell Zhang Duzhi and ask him to issue a ticket to send troops!" ”

The one who stayed behind in Jinling was a commander surnamed Zhang, who was older and did not go to the front.

Zhu Jinghong is about to set off for the front line, and everything is in full swing.

About an hour later, the 500 bannermen who stayed behind, as well as the 500 soldiers who guarded the Thousand Households of Yingtian, plus the brocade guards and the dragon guards who stayed behind.

A total of 1,200 guards were waiting in line at the gate of the palace.

These men were well-armoured, armed with ample weapons and dry rations, and it was possible to fight a tough battle even if they encountered a large number of Japanese robbers.

Of course, Zhu Jinghong is not going to fight, he will try his best to bypass the direction of the Japanese and rush to Zhu Jingyuan's side as quickly as possible.

From Yingtian to Yixing, if the detour is taken into account, it will take at least three to four days in the middle, and the team will rush at this speed.

Inside the palace gate, Zhu Jinghong had changed his armor, rode a horse, surrounded by guards, and walked into the guards.

"Departure ......"

After saying these two words briefly, Zhu Jinghong pulled the reins, and the horse under his crotch walked forward.

When the team left the palace, they rushed to the Chaoyang Gate on the east side, and the people along the way had been emptied to ensure Zhu Jinghong's absolute safety.

After they left the city, the street resumed its lively scene, and everyone discussed whether something had happened.

The day after Zhu Jinghong left, some refugees came to Yingtianfu, and the news of the defeat on the front line spread.

Thinking of the army going out of the city yesterday, the people of Yingtian were panicked.

It's better to live in the city, with a fortified city and a garrison, but if you're outside the city, you'll suffer.

Especially the gentry with rich assets in the family, their family and business are all outside the city, and they must not be cleaned up when the Japanese invaders.

Of course, it's useless to worry about this, and the most important thing is to save your life right now, so more and more people are moving into the city.

In Xue's mansion, Xue Pan also learned the news in the city, so he immediately went to meet his mother.

"You mean, you can't leave today?"

Aunt Xue was a little dissatisfied, and then said: "The fortune teller has said that today is an auspicious day for the zodiac, and it is a good time to hurry!" ”

"Mother...... Didn't you hear me? There's a lot of trouble out there! ”

Xue Pan was a little anxious, and then said: "Not only can't you leave today, but you won't be able to leave tomorrow!" ”

"When can you go?" Aunt Xue was also very anxious.

Xue Pan replied: "At least we have to wait until the Japanese are exterminated!" ”

"Suppressing the Wokos? It's been almost half a year since the government cracked down, so when do you have to wait? Aunt Xue couldn't help but complain.

Before Zhu Jingyuan arrived, the Jinling Dusi was suppressing the Japanese, and it had indeed been half a year.

Xue Pan was full of distress and said: "I'm afraid that the Japanese will harm the Grange, then our family will be really difficult!" ”

Although the silver deposit has been emptied, the Xue family's property is still the first grade in Jinling, but most of them are backlogged goods, as well as thousands of acres of fertile land and mansions outside the city.

Converted, it also looks like a hundred thousand taels, but the movable cash is only twenty or thirty thousand taels.

Now the business is not very good, and the harvest of the grange may have been damaged by the Japanese robbers, and there is not "enough" silver in the house, which makes Xue Pan feel particularly uneasy.
