Mr. Fang was almost helped by the guards into the carriage. Before he could sit down, he hurriedly lifted the curtain of the carriage and ordered the guards: "You... go first, go inquire and see if something happened in the capital. Come back immediately after you get the news.
Report!"
"Yes!" The guard took the order and left.
Seeing that a guard was leaving quickly, Fang Lao put down the curtain of the carriage and leaned against the carriage.
His back was already soaked in sweat, and he could only keep praying that the news was wrong.
The carriage left Shuoyang City and galloped forward all the way. Old Fang's heart was in his throat, thinking in his mind what to do if Fan Yuhuai, who held military power, really wanted to rebel, and wanted to kill the emperor and the prince?
After leaving the city, the carriage ran wildly for more than an hour and it was already late at night. Although it was on the official road, it was out of the city... both sides of the road were densely filled with tall trees, black shadows and wind roaring.
Mr. Fang was so shocked that his face was numb. Soon, Mr. Fang sent the guard who went out to inquire about the news and quickly returned. He turned his head and followed Fang Lao's galloping carriage. He said to the same old man in the car: "Sir, I'm back."
Now!"
Fang Lao, who was closing his eyes in the car, heard the sound, quickly held the carriage window, lifted the curtains, and asked, "How is it?"
"I just went to the inn and tea shed on the official road to inquire about it. I said that the travelers who came from the direction of the capital these days were talking about King Liang, the left prime minister Li Mao, and the commander of the imperial guards Fan Yuhuai.
The rebel is!" said the guard.
Old Fang's heart kept falling down, and the carriage made his head hurt.
"Sir, I also asked the merchants who came from the direction of the Great Metropolitan City. The merchants said that now the Great Metropolitan City is only allowed to enter but not exit, so many people no longer dare to enter the Great Metropolitan City, and they all turned back! What should we do now?"
ask.
There must be something wrong with such a big noise...
Returning to the capital may be a dead end.
what to do?
What can I do?!
He is the counselor of the Prince's Mansion, and the Prince is his master!
The prince has given him more trust than anyone for so many years. Although before the princess of Zhenguo appeared, as a strategist, since he recognized the prince as the chief, he planned to be the prince for life!
Old Fang was so scared that he was dying, but he still planned to go back.
The crown prince is the cornerstone of the country, the crown prince is the orthodox of the country, and he is a native of Jin... he must maintain the orthodox of the country of Jin.
Therefore, even if Mr. Fang was afraid... he had to go back to save his master. This was his responsibility as a Jin person and his morality as a counselor. Even if he died to save the prince, he could be considered a death to the point.
Without a moment of hesitation, Old Fang's throat trembled: "You... have the waist card of the Prince's Mansion on you, try to ask for help everywhere..."
Mr. Fang thought of Shuoyang. Seeing Shuoyang's posture, he always felt that the Bai family might be rebelling, so he quickly reminded the guard: "But don't ask for help from Shuoyang!"
Otherwise, if Shuoyang took this opportunity to send troops to Dadu and take down the royal family, it was said to be the King of Liang, and they just went to quell the rebellion, then... the entire royal family would be in danger.
"Go to another place, go to Daliang... and find General Liu Hong. You can also ask those generals with soldiers along the way. We don't have the prince's handwriting and no emperor's handwriting. We can only send this message out, just ask for Liu
Before General Hong gets the news, there will be loyal and brave soldiers who can come to save His Majesty and the Prince!"
"What about sir?" asked the guard.
"I..." Old Fang swallowed his saliva, his fear overwhelmed, "I have to go back, go back to His Highness the Prince, and try to help the Prince hold on until reinforcements come!"
The guard looked at Mr. Fang's pale face and clearly scared, and gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, are the counselors around the prince. Is it more appropriate for him to ask for help? Besides, the sir, who has no power to tie a chicken, will it be useless if he goes!"
Old Fang shook his head, not knowing whether he was convincing himself or convincing the guards: "Even if he can't hold the knife with both hands, I have to go and protect the prince! I have to give advice on the prince and hold on until reinforcements come!"
Seeing that Mr. Fang insisted, the guard stopped persuading him and clasped his fists at Mr. Fang: "Take care sir!"
After saying that, the guard rushed out with a horse's belly and headed towards Daliang to ask Liu Hong to retreat and rescue him immediately.

Shuoyang, Baifu.
At this time, Bai Qihe from the Bai clan of Shuoyang led several Xinxiang Bai family... The newly elected clan elders were all sitting in the main hall of the Bai mansion, with several wives and girls from the Bai family.
The eldest wife, Dong, sat in the main seat, holding a teacup in her hand, looked at the guard who was kneeling on one knee in the center of the main hall and said that something was in chaos in the capital.
The Bai clan members were shocked when they heard the news.
"The eldest princess ordered us to send the news about the seventh girl and the capital back to Shuoyang, but the seventh girl was worried about the safety of the eldest princess and the second girl and refused to leave. The eldest princess sent a villain to come back first to convey the news."
road.
The reason why Bai Jinse wanted to stay with the eldest princess and refused to leave was because... she was afraid that if King Liang really usurped the throne in the capital, her grandmother tried to press down on this matter to maintain the royal power of the Lin family. Only by being by her grandmother could she give her elder sister timely
Reporting the news, maybe... there is still room for a while.
But if he returned to Shuoyang, when King Liang ascended the throne, his grandmother's idea was unclear, Bai Jinse would really feel restless.
"The eldest princess has sent someone to send the news, so she invited you all over to listen to it. After listening... we also discussed and discuss how to deal with it next." Dong pressed the teacup lid against the teacup and floated in the clear tea soup.
I took a sip of the tea, but it didn't seem like I was unsuccessful in my heart, so I asked the clan people to discuss it.
Seeing that the capital was in chaos and if King Liang really ascended the throne, he would definitely come to Shuoyang to take the Bai family first to control her daughter!
After all, Bai Qingyan is now holding heavy troops, so how could King Liang not be afraid?
The elders of the Bai clan were also called over here, and the Dong clan wanted to make these people pay money.
When the capital is in chaos, Shuoyang must speed up preparations for food storage, so as not to prevent the King of Liang from coming to Shuoyang to get people, Shuoyang must hold on until his daughter returns from Daliang.
There are many people and soldiers in Shuoyang City. If they are besieged, then food is the most important thing.
Although the food stored in Shuoyang can support the whole city to eat for at least three months, Dong's family has to consider the long-term. What if Bai Qingyan can't get back within three months?
Only when the grain stock reaches half a year can it be considered safe.
Bai Qihe's eyes are clear and his heart is bright, so he naturally understands that Dong's family has plans in mind and needs the help of the clan. He hurriedly bowed to Dong's family and said, "Madam, please give me instructions. Bai's family will prosper and lose both. The big thing is here to be
Lady dispatched.”
Seeing that the clan leader said this, several clan elders agreed.
Dong put down the teacup in his hand, looked around with a cold and solemn look, and said, "Even if that's the case, I won't be polite to you!"
