In Xinqi City, Zhang Yun received Su Rong's Flying Eagle Letter.
He opened the letter, read it, sighed, and handed the letter to Cui Xingzhi who was standing aside, "Brother Xing, you and Brother Ningze must return to the royal capital."
Cui Xingzhi took the letter and read it doubtfully, and was shocked, "Is the situation in the court so bad?"
Zhang Yun was not surprised when he thought about it, "The Nangong family has been in control for several generations, and its roots are so deep that it is unimaginable. Once the rebellion broke out, almost all the places where the Nangong family was involved collapsed. Now that the Nangong family has withdrawn from the Wei Dynasty, In many ways, isn’t it paralyzed?”
He said helplessly: "My concubine must have a terrible headache, otherwise the manpower that has been arranged long ago will not allow you and Brother Ning Ze to return to the royal capital immediately after receiving the letter."
Cui Xingzhi said: "I will go find Brother Ning right now."
Zhang Yun nodded, "It's best to set off today."
Although it’s getting late, a day’s work is worth a day if you leave early.
Cui Xingzhi also planned this, "Brother Zhang Yun, you are right."
He turned around to find Ning Ze.
Ning Ze is chatting with Zhang Mao, guessing that the princess has returned to the royal capital now. I am afraid that in a few days, news will be spread in the court, or a notice will be posted, that the princess will ascend the throne. He had never thought about the fact that Su Rong was not willing to let King Nan Chu abdicate and that she ascended the throne in advance.
Ning Ze also sighed, "Hey, I don't know if we can catch up with the Queen's enthronement ceremony when we return to the capital. This Wei Dynasty is too slow. I don't know if we can finish it in this month."
"I'm afraid it's too much." Zhang Mao felt that this was not possible, "Even if the Wei Dynasty sends us all the spoils, there are still many things to do after we take over. At least these newly taken over Wei Dynasty's cities must be It’s stable and can’t cause any trouble, otherwise it won’t be in vain.”
“That’s right.” Ning Ze felt that it would be three or four months before they returned to the royal capital at the earliest. By then, let alone spring and the flowers would be blooming, it might be summer.
The two of them were chatting when they saw Cui Xingzhi hurriedly looking for him. Ning Ze turned around and asked, "Brother Xingzhi, what happened? What makes you so anxious?"
Cui Xingzhi handed the letter directly to Ning Ze and said, "The lady has sent a letter. Please ask us both to return to the capital immediately after seeing the letter."
"Huh?" Ning Zegang was still thinking about when he would go back, but he didn't expect that he would be asked to return to the royal capital so soon.
He took the letter and read it quickly. After reading it, he was shocked and asked, "Is the Ministry of Revenue so short of people and the imperial court so short of people?"
Cui Xingzhi nodded, "The Nangong family and King Liu'an rebelled and conspired, involving almost half of the country of Nanchu. It's not surprising that the court is short of people."
His voice suddenly turned 180 degrees, and he was shocked.
"Yes, my cousin didn't ascend the throne, and the king appointed a daughter." Cui Xingzhi didn't know what was going on, but he thought it had something to do with Su Rong himself, "Anyway, we have to leave quickly. The queen asked us to go back, let's go first Let’s talk about it when we get back.” “Yes, let’s take a walk.” Ning Ze returned the letter to him, “I’m going to pack my things right now.”
"We'll set off in half an hour." Cui Xingzhi said something and remembered that there were some things that he hadn't yet handed over to Zhang Yun, so he turned back and hurriedly found Zhang Yun.
After seeing Zhang Yun, Cui Xingzhi said to him: "Brother Zhang Yun, I will leave you half of my escort. After all, your people were destroyed when they escorted the king with their cousin. Now, There are not many people left. If Wei goes back on his word and causes trouble again, you will not be able to do it without someone to protect you."
Zhang Yun was also polite, "Okay, thank you very much, brother Xing."
Cui Xingzhi handed over some matters at hand to him. Zhang Yun nodded. After Cui Xingzhi finished handing over, he hurried back to pack up. Half an hour later, he left Xinqi City with Ning Ze and others on time. .
Zhang Mao sent Ning Ze off and came to Zhang Yun, "Third brother, the court is so short of people. Now that brother Xingzhi and brother Ning Ze have left, we still have many things to do next. Shouldn't we keep you and me by our side? How about re-identifying and training some people? Otherwise it would be too inconvenient."
Zhang Yun said: "You can send Liu Ying beside me and Zhao Li beside you to find some orphans and let them lead a group of people to train a group of people. As for you and me, Brother Xing will leave his people behind before leaving. Give me half of it and borrow it for now. Tomorrow, brother, you have to work harder to promote some potential people from the army and train them first, so you can deal with it first!"
Zhang Mao nodded, "That's all."
Finding and cultivating secret guards was not a day's work, but all of their people were indeed killed. Not to mention their people, nine out of ten of them were involved, including the princess and Prince Zhou. Now that there is no war, there is no rush, but there is no guarantee that the Wei Dynasty will not dare to start a war after suffering such a big loss, but will stumble behind its back. Now their lives are precious, and they have to protect themselves. , otherwise once something goes wrong, another trouble will arise, causing trouble for the princess.
Zhang Yun rubbed his brows, but it was okay. He felt that the biggest headache now was the concubine and her husband, and he couldn't help but want to laugh again.
Zhang Mao caught a glimpse of Zhang Yun's smile and wondered, "Third brother, why are you laughing?"
"I'm thinking that the princess's temperament is most afraid of trouble. Now she has a headache, and so does her husband." Zhang Yun felt that the two of them might be irritable together now.
Zhang Mao was suddenly enlightened and sighed, "Yes, the Fourth Young Master will be the queen's husband from now on."
He also read the letter. Su Rong not only asked Cui Xingzhi and Ning Ze to go back, but also briefly talked about the situation in Beijing at the beginning of the letter. Especially telling them that from now on they should call Mrs. Zhou Gu Mrs. Husband, the kind that is justifiable.
Letters sent by flying eagles are always brief in order to make the eagle not tired, but the concubine still emphasized this sentence. Zhang Mao thought to himself that it was definitely not what the concubine wanted to write. When she wrote the letter, Zhou Gu must be by her side, and he was Knowing that the border officials would not get the news quickly, he was plastered with notices, so he secretly wanted them to know his identity in advance.
Zhang Yun nodded, "Yes, you are too much of a wife."
He himself had never thought before that he and his concubine had once protected the king, fighting and killing from east to west, north and south, and almost set foot on the entire Southern Chu. Looking back now, I am lucky to be alive. The one who holds the title of concubine in the capital is now having a headache because of the mess in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and he is now unable to deal with the handover with the Wei Dynasty.
Thinking about it again, a few months ago, I was attacked from both sides, and it was a dream.
It is much better now than when his life was at risk at any time. Should he write him a letter and give him some advice, lest he become so impatient that he doesn't even want to be a concubine anymore and runs back to Daliang? (End of chapter)
