Chapter 168: Lu Chuan's Mission
There is no doubt that the authority of his special envoy is much greater than that of a middle doctor.
There is an edict written by Emperor Xin himself, and even the princes along the way have to obey his orders.
"Yes, Your Excellency. ”
The guard who opened his mouth was a middle-aged man, but it was a guard who took the lead.
Hearing Lu Chuan's words, he was stunned for a moment, but he was not slow to react, and immediately changed his words.
"Let's go, we've been on the road all night, and we'll stop at Chentang to let the horse rest. ”
Lu Chuan said and looked at the horses sitting down, and said, "The next road has to rely on them." ”
In this era, horses are equivalent to cars or something, and having a BMW at home is like having a luxury car.
Except, of course, those who have the mounts of the Beast Divine Bird, who have broken through the luxury car to the level of private jets.
"Yes!"
These guards have only one task this time, and that is to protect the Lord, and this one is in charge of everything else.
Soon, the group rode into Chentang Pass.
They found a restaurant to rest, and Lu Chuan sent another person to find the soldiers guarding Chentang Pass to inquire about the time when Chonghou Hu passed through Chentang Pass.
Chonghou Hu, as one of the four princes with a high status, will hug him everywhere he goes, and his momentum will never be small.
What's more, when he left yesterday, he still had 3,000 people with him.
"Your Excellency, the soldiers in the city said that Bei Bohou and his party arrived late last night and set off early this morning. ”
The guards who had gone to inquire in a short time returned.
"Leaving early this morning?"
After hearing this, Lu Chuan opened an earthy yellow parchment scroll and saw that a map north of Chentang Pass was drawn on it, with mountains, rivers, and city names on it.
This is a map backup of the Northern Chong Quartet that he asked for from Di Xin.
One of the guards said: "My lord, it is at least two thousand miles from Chentang Pass to Beichong, and even if we keep traveling overnight at our speed, it will take two days and two nights to arrive." ”
"We have two nights a day, and it will take four or five days for them to do anything. ”
Lu Chuan said, his eyes turned and fell under Bei Chong on the map, only to see that there was an area in the lower left where a Ji character was marked.
Jizhou!
Lu Chuan's eyes flashed, this is one of the many exploits of the human king Dayu, dividing the world into Kyushu.
This Jizhou is the first of Kyushu.
Jizhou is named Su Hu, the ninth general in the world, and has a son and a daughter, the eldest son is named Su Quanzhong, and the second daughter is Su Daji.
Later, Su Daji entered the palace and became the queen, so Lu Chuan always called him the king.
This human nature is as fierce as fire, and he is very upright and upright.
When Fei Zhongyou was in power, the other princes gave gifts to the two traitors, but he was the only one who dared not to give gifts to the traitors.
But because of this, he was hated by these two traitors, and later promoted his daughter Daji to Di Xin as a concubine.
Di Xin asked him to marry his daughter, Su Hu refused to give in, and scolded the two traitorous ministers for fainting the king, and wrote in anger: The king is a bad minister, and there are five permanent defeats. Jizhou Su Hu, never go to business!
Of course, this move is indeed a great joy and applause.
But this poem was cool for a while, but in exchange for the two princes Chonghou Hu and Ji Chang, the two major princes, the soldiers pressed the crusade.
Therefore, he also had to give in.
Later, the Nine-Tails possessed Daji on the way to the palace, and confused the world with Daji's identity, causing the people of the world to scold Emperor Xin Daji at the same time, and even scolded Su Hu with him.
So when Di Xin sent him to conquer Xiqi, Su Hu abandoned the secret and surrendered to Xiqi directly with his family and the Jizhou army.
"When are we leaving, my lord?"
Several guards saw Lu Chuan staring at the map and was silent for a long time, and finally asked in a low voice.
Lu Chuan retracted his thoughts and looked at Jizhou's location.
He already has a plan for how to solve the crisis in Chongcheng this time, but he must go to Jizhou to borrow two people and some troops to succeed.
The edict he asked Di Xin for to drive the princes was not purely for the sake of pretending to be thirteen.
"Don't worry, the official has calculated, we still have some surplus time. ”
Lu Chuan said: "This time, the official also has a task, which is to send a letter to Jizhou for the queen, prepare some dry food and drinking water, and transfer to Jizhou later." ”
If you want to go to Beichong, you need to go north directly, but if you want to go to Jizhou, you need to take some long detours.
After a few people rested a little, they rode their horses away from Chentang Pass.
At noon the next day, they had already seen Jizhou City from afar.
At the gate of the city, I saw that the people came in and out in an endless stream, and there were two big words Jizhou on the city tower.
However, there was also a young man of twenty-five or sixteen, with very heroic eyes and sword eyebrows, waiting with a group of soldiers and carriages.
"My lord, Uncle Guo is already at the gate of the city, and he is already waiting for you at the gate of the city. ”
A flying horse galloped from the city gate, and it was one of Lu Chuan's guards, who reported to Lu Chuan and returned the envoy Yinxin to Lu Chuan with both hands.
Uncle Guo?Su Quanzhong?!
Lu Chuan took the seal letter quietly, but his eyes moved, this Su Quanzhong was a very remarkable mortal general in the entire Fengshen.
At a young age, he was superior in martial arts and bravely crowned the three armies, and his strength among the mortal generals of the gods could be ranked at least in the middle and upper reaches, and he could also fight with some immortals in the gods.
However, most of the so-called immortals here are actually qi refiners and have not yet become immortals.
Lu Chuan nodded, and this guard entered the team.
Everyone drove their horses to the city gate, and the young man glanced at everyone and found that everyone was faintly headed by Lu Chuan.
"I wonder who is the envoy?"
Although Su Quanzhong had a guess, he still didn't dare to make a conclusion directly, otherwise he might offend people by calling the wrong person.
"No, it's not!"
Lu Chuan held the reins and hugged his fists and smiled: "Uncle Lao Guo is tired of this trip, and the lower officials are really sorry in their hearts." ”
"Don't dare, the envoy invited him into the carriage, and my father has set up a banquet in the Hou Mansion to wait for my lord. ”
Su Quanzhong looked at Lu Chuan in surprise, this person is young, at best he is only twenty-three or four years old, but it is really rare to be a special envoy.
"Thank you!"
Lu Chuan got off the horse and got into the carriage, and he hurried overnight for the past two days, which was really torturous.
The team entered the city and was invited into the Hou Mansion by Su Quanzhong.
Houfu Hall.
Lu Chuan and Su Hu were seated in the hall as the guest of honor, and Su Quanzhong stood next to Su Hu.
"The envoy has come from afar, I don't know what is important?"
Su Hu is in his forties, with a three-inch short beard and a clean face, but his attitude is a little cold.
It can be seen that the prince is still dissatisfied with the events of the year.
"Guozhang, look at this. ”
Lu Chuan smiled and took out a scroll of books.
"This is?" Su Hu's eyes froze.
"This is the Queen's family letter. ”
Lu Chuan lost his smile, pretended to sigh, and said: "The queen mother has been in the deep palace all these years, she is not free, and she misses her parents and brothers in her heart.
The imperial doctor in the palace said that the mother was suffering from heart disease, and the king had no choice but to send an official to send a letter to the family, hoping that the father-in-law would return a copy of the pain of missing her mother. ”
When he came, he had a premonition that this trip to Jizhou was not easy.
After all, things were very stiff back then, and the two sides met each other, and Di Xin almost cut off the head of the country's family.
Now, as expected, this Su Hu is not very friendly to the people of the big merchants, and he is a little cold.
Lu Chuan even guessed that this Su Guozhang might have hacked him to death seven or eight times in his heart.
Fortunately, he is not a dry eater, he already has a countermeasure, and he will come as soon as he opens his mouth, saying that Su Da is sick because of his relatives.
