Chapter 236: The Third Day of the Seventh Month (2)
"Presumptuous!"
Lu Jianxing pulled out his saber, and the blade pointed at the city gate guard in front of him.
Seeing that the convoy of the Jaw King's Mansion was about to leave the city, the non-high-grade official in front of him actually led more than 100 people to block in front of the customs clearance platform, blocking the way of the group.
Who borrowed him this guts!
Hearing this shout, the patrol officer's face changed several times, and finally gritted his teeth and replied in a deep voice: "Shizi, there are more than 100,000 troops outside the city facing each other, and the current situation is unclear, so it is really not suitable to go out of the city. If the son of the world has anything good, the little ones can't afford to take responsibility, please go back!"
His remarks were obviously confessed by someone, and under the banner of protecting Xia Chengxuan, he was trapped in the capital.
"My safety, what do you care about a little patrolman? Get out of the way, don't spoil the business of this world!" Xia Chengxuan got off the chariot and stood in front of the inspector and reprimanded coldly, "Hu Xiuan is locked in the city pass, is he trying to do the opposite!"
I thought that the inspectors would realize the seriousness of the matter when they heard this, and they didn't want them to just keep their heads down, neither silent nor out of the way, as if they hadn't heard Xia Chengxuan's words.
"Get out of the way and get out of the way!" Xia Chengxuan frowned and snorted coldly.
The sweat on the inspector's forehead was already dripping, but he still didn't take a step back, and replied softly: "Shizi, please don't be embarrassed. ”
Xia Chengxuan didn't expect a little inspector to be so tough, and he was not intimidated by his posture at all, so he couldn't help but be furious, pulled out the lancet on his waist, and shouted: "Death to the one who stands in my way!"
The inspector raised his head, looked at Xia Chengxuan, and said: "Shizi, we are ordered to defend the city pass to the death, if we let you go today, it will be a violation of the military order, and it will be difficult to escape death when you go back." Even if the prince wants to kill the little one, the little one will never dare to let you out of the city. ”
died under Xia Chengxuan's knife, at least he died in the line of duty, and his family members could also receive a large amount of pension. If they are beheaded for violating military law, not only will their wives and children not only receive no benefit, but they will also suffer from the strange eyes of their neighbors.
Xia Chengxuan looked at him with a resolute expression, and knew that he was afraid that it would be difficult to get out of the city today. Nai hated to throw the knife to the ground, and angrily returned to the chariot, "Go home!"
... ...
On the official road twenty miles outside Cangzhou City, three or four thousand light horsemen rested on the ground, and people and horses took advantage of this half hour to fill their stomachs in order to cope with the continuous trek for the next three hours. After receiving Xia Chengxuan's secret letter yesterday, Xia Chengcan didn't think much about it, and immediately issued a military order, asking each thousand men to pick out half of their men and horses to go north with him.
Xia Chengxuan is right, the Jaw King Mansion and the Zhen King Mansion have a common enemy, and only by working together can it be possible to avenge this blood revenge. Being in Pinan, his ears and eyes are incomprehensible, Xia Chengcan is not clear about the situation in the capital, however, with his intelligence, he can naturally guess seventy or eighty.
If the enemy is in the capital, then their battlefield should be in the capital. Once Xia Muyan ascends the throne, the first person he wants to get rid of must be the Zhenwang Mansion.
The Zhen Wangfu hated Xia Muyan more than everyone else, and the strength of the Zhen Wang faction was undoubtedly the strongest among the three kings, because they controlled 90,000 white-clothed troops.
And what Xia Chengcan did in Beiye City also gave Xia Muyan a good excuse to get rid of him.
Although the chances of winning in the capital are not great, it is far better than sitting and waiting to be killed in Pinan.
Is Ha Seung-hyun a reliable ally?
Xia Chengcan didn't know, however, he didn't have a choice. The common hatred binds them together, and Ha Seung-chan is willing to believe that he, like himself, puts revenge for the murder of his father above any interests.
So, in the coolness of the early morning, he took the four thousand five hundred light horsemen all the way north.
After eating the ration of military rations in his hand, Xia Chengcan got up from the grass, patted the dust on his buttocks, and jumped on the horse.
The herald beside him hurriedly turned over and rode backwards, shouting all the way: "Rest over!"
The generals who had sneaked into the grass on the side of the road listened to the order, hurriedly wiped their cheeks, and returned to the team. Ten breaths later, the herald drove the leader of the bicycle track from the back of the team, and reported in a sonorous voice: "Young marshal, the men and horses are fully ready!"
"Let's go!" Xia Chengcan roared, rode his horse to the front, and galloped north on four thousand five hundred light horses.
... ...
"Mr. Yu, there are no outsiders, what's the matter, it's better to be open and honest!" The four of them sat down in the secret room of Chenjiazhuang's practice room, and Chen Jinbei was Yu Lingyi.
He has been friends with An Wuyu for many years, and he has not been so polite since then.
Yu Lingyi nodded, and said with a straight face: "Since I am open and honest, I should never hide my identity." Lord Chen, Mr. Xu, and Yu are Yu Lingyi, the Minister of Internal Security of the Turkic State, who was ordered by the lord to bring four tokens to Dahua to find the descendants of the Duanmu clan's relics, the King of Julu and the Queen of Leiyang. ”
As soon as he finished saying these two sentences, Xu Xiaoyu and Chen Jinbei both looked at each other in unison, their faces and eyes were full of shock. Although they haven't had time to elaborate, the two of them can already roughly guess the beginning and the end.
Yu Lingyi looked at the faces of the two of them, and secretly rejoiced in his heart: "Looking at the expressions of the two of them, I am afraid that they already know in their hearts, and this matter has become more than half." It is said that the two humane: "More than three hundred and thirty years ago, Xia Ruren led an army to rebel. The rebels grew stronger and stronger, and the Duanmu clan struggled to support but was defeated one after another, so they had to retreat all the way to the barren land of southern Xinjiang with their cronies and dependents, where they established the current Turkic state. ”
This matter is known to the world, and Yu Lingyi said it again just to remind the two of them of the hatred of the country's annihilation.
"For more than 300 years, there has not been a day when the Duanmu clan has not thought of leading the army to the north to recover their homeland. It's just that the Xia clan has deep roots in the Central Plains, and it has always been difficult for the Turkic country to have the strength to fight. Huang Tian has eyes, and the Turkic country has Emperor Yingzong, the Son of Heaven (it looks like a temple number, let's take it as a year name), and it has been planned for ten years, and it has finally been successful. Yu Lingyi said with a solemn face, obviously speaking from his heart, without the slightest hint of flattery.
Duanmu Yu's talent has long been famous all over the world. Xu Xiaoyu and Chen Jinbei are all well-informed people, and the current emperor of the natural way is Duanmu Yu, who has not long ascended the throne.
"A few days ago, the emperor sorted out the relics of the emperor and accidentally found thirteen old letters that had been sealed for more than 300 years. The thirteen letters were written by the Duanmu royal family who had not retreated south with the army of the previous dynasty, one was Duanmu Chengping, the king of Leiyang, and the other was Duanmu Chengan, the king of Julu, and the two were brothers born to the same mother. Speaking of this, Yu Lingyi looked at Xu Xiaoyu, Chen Jinbei, and An Wuyu respectively, and said: "What can be confirmed at present is that the descendants of the Giant Deer King are the current An family and the Chen family. Lord Ange, please tell Master Chen Zhuang the reason for this. ”
An Wuyu nodded, told Chen Jinbei what the two people in the Star Picking Pavilion said yesterday, and finally took out six letters from his pocket and handed them to him, "Let's look at the top five first." ”
Chen Jinbei hurriedly stretched out his hands, took the letter, and read it one by one. After reading, I raised my head and closed my eyes, and was silent for a long time.
Yu Lingyi was about to inquire, but saw that he suddenly opened his eyes and said to An Wuyu: "Brother An, the imprints in the letter have been compared. ”
There is only one seal of the Giant Deer King, and he has always stayed in Anjia. Although Chen Jinbei did not suspect fraud, he still asked this section.
The stakes are big, and if there are any mistakes or omissions, he also hopes to get to the bottom of it.
An Wuyu had already prepared, took off the bag from his back, and took out a small square box from the bag. Opening the box, inside was a seal, An Wuyu gently took it out and sent it to Chen Jinbei.
This seal is about two fingers wide and about two inches high, with an obvious antique atmosphere.
Chen Jinbei carefully took the seal, and then took out the ink tray and a piece of drawing paper from the drawer. After dipping the seal in the ink, press it on the drawing paper, and the four characters of the seal script appeared on it: Julu Cheng'an. He took out the last page of the five old letters and spread them out on the table, and compared them with the new impressions on the drawing paper in detail.
"Huh~~~~" After a long time, Chen Jinbei took a deep breath, carefully returned the old letter and seal to the place one by one, and then presented it to the table, knelt down and performed the ritual of worshipping the ancestors.
Yu Lingyi quietly watched Chen Jinbei recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, and when he saw that the matter was over, he said: "The emperor has a promise, if the descendants of the giant deer queen can return to the Duanmu clan and serve the great cause of the northern expedition of the Turkic country, after the matter is completed, the old land will be resealed and the hereditary prince will be given." ”
There are three types of titles in various countries: lifetime titles, that is, immortal titles, hereditary titles, and hereditary titles. Among them, the hereditary title is the highest title.
Once he has received the title of hereditary heir, it means that his descendants can inherit the title forever. The four kings with different surnames in Dahua are hereditary kings, so their descendants have been kings with different surnames for generations, and the four of them have the same feudal topography as the country within the country.
Historically, the hereditary reckless lords of various countries have not been awarded for their founding merits, and if the An and Chen families can receive this reward, it will naturally be a generous gift from heaven.
After An Wuyu read Duanmuyu's handwritten letter yesterday, he knew about it, and even if he promised that An Jiayuan was working for the great cause of the Turkic country. Duanmuyu's promise is a desperate hope that he thinks is worth settling down at all costs.
That's also the reason why An Wuyu couldn't sleep all night.
Serving the Turkic country is not only to inherit the cause of the ancestors, but also to seek the well-being of future generations, and An Wuyu has no reason to refuse.
Chen Jinbei's face was incredulous, he finally understood why An Wuyu was so happy and happy today, because he was in the same state of mind at this time.
Although the Chen family is already rich and rivals the country, they do not own an inch of land after all, and it is the so-called "rich but not expensive". Without the imperial court to rely on, once the descendants have a mediocre bastard, perhaps millions of family assets will end here, which is what the world calls "family wealth is better than a long stream".
Just as he was surprised, Chen Jinbei suddenly frowned, with a worried expression.
"Master Chen, do you still have any doubts?" Yu Lingyi hurriedly asked.
The country is short of money, and Chen Jinbei in front of him is the richest person in the world, and Yu Lingyi naturally doesn't want him to have any hesitation.
Chen Jinbei nodded lightly, and said: "I'm afraid that your lord doesn't know that the queen of Julu has a good family, and he only promised a hereditary reward for the prince, is this for the An family, or the Chen family?"
