Zhou Shilang's face was calm, and he looked at Yue Pei with his peripheral vision without any trace. The young man had too little experience after all. He probably had never seen such a person who did not follow the routine. He must be more angry.
It takes time to get used to it.
"..." Yue Pei stared straight at Qin Wu, who also looked at him without any fear.
Under the stalemate between the two of them, Xu Yun took two steps forward with the imperial edict in one hand and said: "Lost it? It is naturally impossible to lose it. If such an important thing is not carried with you, it must have been lost by my father."
It has been properly hidden... In my opinion, there is nothing difficult about this matter, why don't you just listen to what I have to say?"
"..." Hearing this persuasive tone, Yue Pei slowly turned his head to look at him.
The Xu family actually acted as peacemakers?
This situation is undoubtedly quite strange, but he can only say: "Master Xu, please tell me——"
"It is the time for the imperial court to deploy troops, so it cannot be delayed." Xu Yun said with a sensible face: "With or without the military talisman, and with the presence of Qin's deputy general, he can lead his troops back to the capital. As for the military talisman, after returning to the capital,
When my father wakes up, it will not be too late to hand it over to Your Majesty."
This proposal is very cooperative, very kind, and practical.
He added: "Why don't you and Vice General Qin lead the troops back to the capital? As for my father's body, the doctor has already said that it is not serious. He only needs to take care of it during the journey. It will not affect the journey."
Yue Pei's face suddenly changed after hearing this.
Just let him and Vice General Qin lead the troops back to Beijing?
Isn't he here forcibly brought in just for appeasement? Without military symbols, what else does he have to do to lead the troops?
Not to mention that the Duke of Zhen also wants to go back together!
Therefore, there is nothing wrong with these words at first glance, but the more people think about it, the more something is wrong——
In this way, he was so ignored that he couldn't be more clean... Overtly or covertly, he couldn't have any hands in the army!
——Co-author: Did he come here specifically to welcome Duke Zhenguo back to the capital?
Thinking about all this, Yue Pei, who had never expected that he would be in such a situation, felt extremely complicated.
However, the second master of the Xu family looked like he was easy to discuss and discuss, and it was impossible to find anything wrong with him. Even if he wanted to have an attack, he couldn't find a reason at all.
It was at this time that Zhou Shilang said: "In my opinion, this is indeed a good proposal without any delay... It is better to just decide like this."
...Why is this such a good suggestion?
Yue Pei looked at Minister Zhou.
But he saw the other party looking at him with suggestive eyes and said: "The most urgent task now is to lead the troops back to Beijing and return to His Majesty. The most important thing is..."
Seeing his eyes, Yue Pei's heart moved slightly.
That's right.
Doing this can at least bring back the soldiers and horses. If you insist on insisting on a stalemate on the soldiers and symbols, it will only delay time or cause other incidents.
It's better to agree first, and as for the rest, we'll make detailed plans along the way...
After weighing it up, knowing that there was no better choice at the moment, Yue Pei could only nod.
When Xu Yun saw this, he said: "In that case, it's not too late to start the journey in two days. What do you think, sir?"
Yue Pei's eyebrows moved slightly.
Quite anxious?
Zhou Shilang nodded and said, "I will order people to go down and prepare."
After saying that, he looked at Qin Wu and said, "I would like to ask Vice General Qin and General Yue Qian to arrange matters in the army as soon as possible."
Yue Pei: "..."
Being taken along again?
But it is also good to go and learn about the general affairs of the army.
Therefore, he raised his hand and said to Qin Wu: "Vice General Qin, please—"
"Please." Qin Wu also looked very graceful.
The two-day preparation time was undoubtedly a bit hasty for the army.
Fortunately, after the truce with the Li people, the army had already started preparing to break camp and return to the capital. Qin Wu was not good at it, but he had his own rules for handling these trivial matters in the army, and he quickly arranged everything in order.
Early in the morning on the third day, he led his troops and set off on time, leaving only a small number of troops behind to sort out the finishing touches.
The Duke of Zhen was placed in a comfortable and spacious carriage, and Doctor Qiu accompanied him, never leaving his side.
Yun Liu and King Yan hid among the soldiers. With Qin Wu's arrangement and cover, they were not worried about being discovered.
After marching for three days, it suddenly rained heavily in the evening, making it difficult to continue on the road. We happened to pass by a post house, and after discussion, we decided to rest here for one night.
As soon as the army settled down, the rain stopped.
However, it was getting late, so it was hard to give the order to set off again, and we had to stop on the way, so we just thought of it as a rest.
After dinner, King Yan, Qin Wu, Xu Yun and others sat around and talked in the public house of Zhenguo.
"...In the past two days, there have been a lot of rumors in the army." Qin Wu frowned and said: "We dealt with a few suspicious ones and issued military orders, but they couldn't be suppressed."
Those who say the general is seriously ill will leave it alone——
What's more, they actually said that the general had gone west. At this time, he was just escorting the body back to Beijing. To stabilize the morale of the army, he did not make it clear to the outside world!
If there is any rebuttal, it is this: If the general is really just ill, why has he never appeared in public again?
Not to mention those who try to speculate on the so-called overall political situation...
Among them there are people with ulterior motives, and there are also people who really don't understand the situation and feel uneasy.
No matter how heroic Xu Jiajun was, it was mostly due to his good management over the years and his reputation and respect from the people. People would unconsciously think that he was really brave and brave, and he would have more confidence and fighting spirit when fighting.
Strength - but not everyone is sober and wise, and most ordinary soldiers are just ordinary people. It is inevitable to be shaken after hearing various rumors.
As a result, the rumors spread more and more fiercely. Under such influence, deserters actually appeared for two days in a row!
It can be seen that the morale of the army is scattered and panic...
"There is no need to think about it. It must be the method used secretly by Yue Pei in order to control the morale of the army in the chaos." Yun Liu thought about it and said: "But there is no big obstacle in thinking. Now we just need to suppress it first and wait for the general.
After waking up, these rumors will be self-defeating."
"You really don't need to take these rumors to heart." King Yan said: "Yue Pei's move is nothing more than because he believes that there is no possibility that the general will wake up again. Otherwise, he will just be doing useless work - but he himself
It’s been five or six days since I met the general. I haven’t been able to wait for the news I wanted to hear. I’m afraid I’ve already made some assumptions about the general’s poisoning..."
Xu Yun stood by and frowned slightly: "What the prince said is not unreasonable, and he is about to return to the capital..."
From the beginning, the emperor probably never thought about the possibility of bringing his father back alive——
Several pairs of eyes face each other, and everyone has a distinction in their hearts.
The rain outside the house has disappeared, and a few stars have appeared on the faintly gray-blue night.
…
It was past midnight, the wind blew and the clouds passed, and everyone fell asleep.
While Xu Mingshi was sleeping soundly, he was suddenly woken up by a burst of movement.
