Eight hundred and eighty-ninth chapter contact connector
Liu Xiu wanted to sneak attack Yancen's troops stationed in Hanzhong, but he couldn't choose a suitable general for a while.
Wu Han did recommend a good candidate for Liu Xiu, the newly appointed former general Li Tong. Although Liu Xiu agreed with Wu Han's recommendation, he really couldn't send Li Tong because he was worried about Liu Boji.
This matter was temporarily shelved.
However, Tian Rong, who had taken refuge with Gongsun Shu and was named King of Yijiang, never forgot his old land. He gathered his old troops and united with Gongsun Shu's generals who had finished their terms, and together they sent troops to advance eastward and invade Nanjun in order to capture Nanjun.
At present, Cen Peng is leading the Han army and is stationed in the Jiangling area of Nanjun. Here in Jiangling, Cen Peng has set up an impregnable defense line. Tian Rong and Ren Man launched a fierce attack on Cen Peng's army's defense line, but they failed to break through Cen Peng's army's defense line.
Reports of the war in the south soon reached Luoyang. Liu Xiu was furious when he learned of the incident and transferred 50,000 of the 100,000 troops stationed in Chang'an, led by Feng Yi himself, to reinforce Nanjun.
In addition, he sent Zhijin Wu Zhufu to take over the position of the general of the Western Expedition Army and continue to farm in Chang'an.
This morning, the palace, Yongxiang.
Every morning, farmers would enter the palace to collect garbage, and today was no exception. Several farmers wearing linen clothes and linen trousers, led by guards, walked into the alley of the palace.
Yongxiang is a long and narrow alley in the palace. It was originally a place where the palace maids and concubines lived. Later, Yongxiang gradually became a place where prisoners in the palace were imprisoned. The notorious Yeting Prison is located here.
At present, Yongxiang has become the most eerie place in the palace. The garbage in the palace is also transported out from here every day.
An old man walking in front of the carriage was an old acquaintance with the palace guards. After all, they met every day. The old man walked forward and said, "Guard Li, I see that there seem to be more guards inside and outside the palace these days."
The leader of the guards looked back at the old man, nodded, and said: "Yes, the number of people has increased a lot. Luoyang is not peaceful now, and the guard has just changed people. The new officer takes office with three firepowers!"
The old man asked curiously: "How does Weiwei Zhao compare with Weiwei Li?"
The leader of the guards shook his head and said with a wry smile: "How can a little guard like me get in touch with the Lord Guard?!"
After a pause, he added: "Weiwei Zhao was born as a general in the army, and he is also his current favorite. I think his character is not bad."
The old man nodded, and while they were talking, they walked into a courtyard. There were a lot of debris piled up in the courtyard, including leftovers, leftover rice, rags, etc. Almost all the garbage in the entire palace was stored here.
.
At that time, the palace already had a sewage system. Human excrement did not need to be transported away in wooden barrels. It could be discharged directly outside the palace through sewers.
Of course, at that time, the only one that could afford to build a sewage system was the palace where the emperor lived.
Entering the courtyard, the old man commanded his workers to carry the garbage one by one onto the carriage.
While the workers were working, the old man came up to the head guard and said with a smile on his face: "Guard Li, I have something to ask you for help!"
The leader of the guards looked at him in confusion. The old man turned around and waved, saying, "Xiao Du!"
Following his call, a young man ran over quickly. When the old man and the leader of the guards approached, he bowed respectfully and deeply.
The old man said with a smile: "Xiao Du and a maid in the palace are from the same hometown. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Guard Li, let's see...can we arrange for them to meet here!"
Hearing this, the leader of the guards immediately frowned. Is it okay for people outside the palace to want to have a private meeting with the palace maid? The young man named Xiao Du quickly raised his hands and said, "Don't get me wrong, Guard Li. I just met her once. There is no other meaning."
As he spoke, he took out a few five-baht coins from his sleeves, stuffed them into the head of the guard, and said with a smile: "I hope that Guard Li can be of convenience and help me."
There were only a few coins, but the leader of the guards didn't take them seriously at all. His face darkened, he pushed back the coins handed over by the young man, and said in a deep voice: "What are you doing?!"
The young man looked at the few coins in his hand with a wry smile, and said: "Li Wei is a man who has seen the big world, so naturally he looks down on the villain's money. However, the villain's fellow countryman is very rich, and he is in the palace. She is also very favored, as long as he is willing to help, she will never treat him badly."
Hearing this, Guard Li asked curiously: "What is the name of your fellow countryman?"
The young man said: "Her name is Luo You. I wonder if Guard Li knows her?"
Guard Li couldn't help but be startled. He didn't know Luo You, but he had heard of her name.
Luo You has saved Yin Guiren twice. Who in the palace doesn't know Luo You's name? He asked: "Are you Miss Luo You's hometown?"
"Exactly!"
"May I have your name?"
"Little man Du Qing." As he spoke, he took out a copper coin with a missing corner, handed it to Li Weiwei, and said: "Back then, this copper coin was given to me by Luo You. When Li Weiwei showed it to her, she must have Come and see me! I hope Guard Li can help me! The villain and Luo You will not treat Guard Li badly!"
The implication is that he can't afford too many benefits, but Luo You can definitely afford it. Guard Li took the copper coin, looked at it over and over, pondered for a moment, and said: "Okay, you guys are here for a moment. "Wait, but you can send me a message, but I can't guarantee whether Miss Luo You is willing to come to see you." As he spoke, he looked at the young man up and down. The young man looked good and had a delicate face. , but the work I do is really not on the table.
Guard Li took the missing coin Du Qing gave him, walked out of Yongxiang, and headed straight to the West Palace.
In the early morning, there were not many people walking around the palace. After Guard Li arrived at the West Palace, he happened to see a little palace maid coming out. He quickly stepped forward, raised his hands and said, "This palace maid!"
The little palace maid was startled and looked at Guard Li in confusion. Guard Li said with a smile: "Please help me find Miss Luo You, little palace maid."
"you……"
"I'm in a hurry."
The little palace maid thought for a moment, then nodded and turned back to the West Palace. Not long after, Luo You came out of the West Palace and saw Guard Li at the door. She couldn't help but be startled. In her impression, she didn't seem to recognize this person.
Seeing Luo You, Guard Li was also stunned. He really didn't expect that Luo You, who had been his savior twice, was so beautiful. Although he was not as good as the master of the West Palace, Yin Guiren, he was not far behind.
He was the first to come to his senses, raised his hands and said, "Excuse me, are you Miss Luo You?"
"I am Luo You, you are..."
"It's like this. There is a man named Du Qing, who claims to be Miss Luo You's fellow villager. He wants to meet you..."
While Guard Li was talking, Luo You was shocked, Du Qing? Is it Senior Brother Du Qing? He...how did he find him? How did he enter the palace?
After Guard Li finished speaking, he took out a coin from his sleeve, handed it to Luo You, and said, "Brother Du said that when Luo You sees this coin, he will naturally remember who he is."
Luo You took the coin and took a closer look, confirming that the person who found her was indeed Senior Brother Du Qing. She asked calmly: "Excuse me, where is he now?"
"Yongxiang."
"Yongxiang? He...how could he be in that kind of place?"
Guard Li said: "Miss Luo You, don't be nervous, he just came to the palace to clean up the debris."
Luo You suddenly realized that every morning, people from outside the palace would enter Yongxiang and search away the debris in the palace. It seemed that Senior Brother Du Qing must be among these people. She asked: "He wants to see me
?”
"Exactly! If it's inconvenient for the girl, she doesn't have to go. I will help her send him away."
"No!" Luo You said urgently. Seeing Guard Li looking at her in surprise, she said with a smile: "Du Qing is indeed a fellow countryman of mine. I haven't seen him for many years. I want to meet him."
As she spoke, she suddenly remembered something. She took out a piece of gold leaf from her arms, handed it to Guard Li, and said with a smile: "Brother Guard, please come here to inform me. I hope that Brother Guard will accept it."
Guard Li was flattered and quickly declined, but Luo You insisted and finally accepted it. Luo You said, "I hope Brother Li can keep this matter a secret for me!"
"Don't worry, Miss Luo You, I will never tell others nonsense."
"Thank you, Brother Li!" Luo You thanked Guard Li profusely and followed him to Yongxiang. In the courtyard of Yongxiang, Luo You saw Du Qing. Both of them were very excited in their hearts, but on the surface
Just pretend everything is calm.
Luo You just stood at the entrance of the yard without going in, as if he disliked how dirty it was inside.
Du Qing took the initiative to come out of the yard and bowed to Guard Li repeatedly to thank him. Guard Li looked at Luo You and then at Du Qing, and couldn't help but secretly curl his lips, this is really a toad that wants to eat swan meat!
He stood aside with no intention of leaving. It was Luo You who said, "Brother Li, can you let Du Qing and I have a few words alone? I'll leave after that!"
"Okay, okay, okay!" Guard Li nodded in agreement.
Then, he looked at Du Qing and walked into the courtyard. Outside the courtyard, only Luo You and Du Qing were left. Luo You glanced at the courtyard, walked a few steps to the side, and whispered: "Senior brother, why did you suddenly enter?"
Damn it, this is too dangerous!"
Seeing Luo Youhao standing in front of him, Du Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Zhang Guang said that he had a chance to take Yin Lihua's life that day, but you were the one who stood in the way and stopped him."
Luo You frowned and said: "Yin Gui cannot die, otherwise I won't be able to stay in the palace anymore." Du Qing was about to answer, Luo You said urgently: "Now I say, senior brother, just listen."
After a pause, she looked into the courtyard again, and saw Guard Li standing in the courtyard looking towards her from time to time. She said in a low voice and hastily: "Liu Xiu has mobilized 50,000 troops for the Western Expedition, and ordered Feng Yi to be the chief general.
He went south to Nanjun to reinforce Cen Peng. The person who succeeded Feng Yi was Jinwu Zhufu. Liu Xiu did not plan to use troops in Chang'an now, but wanted to use troops in Nanjun. King Yijiang and General Ren who went deep into Nanjun might be attacked by the Han army at any time.
Attacked from two sides, senior brother must quickly report these situations back to Chengdu and ask His Majesty to make a decision.
"Also, Wu Han and Gai Yan have been transferred back to Luoyang by Liu Xiu. The person who took over as the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Expedition Army is Geng Yan. It seems that Liu Xiu is shifting the focus of the army from east to west. Your Majesty needs to do it as soon as possible.
Preparation is..."
Before she finished speaking, Guard Li had already walked over. Luo You subconsciously took a step back and said to Du Qing: "Brother Du, Luo You will leave it to you for family matters. If anything happens in the future, Brother Du can leave it to Brother Li."
Come to me."
As she spoke, she looked at Guard Li again and said with a smile: "Brother Li may be troubled in the future, but Luo You won't let Brother Li help in vain!"
Guard Li said cheerfully: "It's easy to talk, easy to talk about. As long as it's Miss Luo You's business, I have no one to blame!" As he spoke, he took another deep look at Du Qing. He was obviously full of hostility and rejection of Du Qing.
.
Luo You smiled at Guard Li, nodded to Du Qing, and said, "Your Excellency, you will be anxious if you can't find me. I have to go back." After speaking, she turned around and walked out.
Guard Li hurriedly said: "Miss Luo You, I'll see you off." As he spoke, he walked beside Luo You excitedly.
Watching Luo You and Guard Li leave, Du Qing squinted his eyes, paused for a moment, then returned to the yard and continued working, and worked particularly hard.
