Chapter 129: The Governor of Chu enters the capital at night
Liu Chen's face naturally showed a look of emotion. Their current situation is quite bad. Although they are moving around to fight, the food, grass and ordnance they can collect are getting less and less. If this continues, I am afraid that the army will be destroyed.
Without a siege, their team would collapse due to lack of food.
"Brother, we..."
Liu Chong, who had a solemn look on his face, glared at Liu Chen, and looked at the scribe in blue shirt. He saw the scribe in blue shirt stroking his beard, as if he had a well-thought-out attitude. Liu Chong suddenly burst out laughing.
The laughter made the green-shirted scribe look a little puzzled.
Even Liu Chen looked at his brother in confusion, not knowing what was going on with his brother.
The next moment, Liu Chong shouted in a deep voice: "Come here, take this person down for me!"
"What?"
Liu Zixi, the green-shirted scribe who volunteered to persuade brothers Liu Liu and Liu Qi, heard Liu Chong's words and his eyes almost popped out of his head. He looked at Liu Chong with disbelief and exclaimed.
The rebel soldiers who were guarding outside the tent immediately rushed in and arrested Liu Zixi. Liu Zixi, who was tied like a rice dumpling, lay on the ground and said angrily to Liu Chong: "Liu Chong, what do you mean? Don't you?
Do you know that this is your opportunity? You must know that if you can’t find a way to obtain food, fodder, ordnance, you won’t be able to sustain it for long.”
While reasoning with Liu Chong, he did not forget to threaten: "Let me go quickly, or when the officers and soldiers arrive, your brothers will die without a burial place!"
Liu Chong waved his hand and motioned for his men to take Liu Zixi down first. The tent suddenly became quiet, and Liu Chen looked at Liu Chong with a puzzled look on his face and said, "Brother, how did you take this person down?"
If so, how can we obtain food, ammunition and weapons?"
Glancing at Liu Chen, Liu Chong sneered and said: "These literati are more thoughtful than anything else. You don't think that such a good thing will really happen to us!"
Liu Chen was shocked and said: "What, does he still dare to lie to us?"
Liu Chong said with a cold look in his eyes: "It is impossible to lie to us. After all, we are not fools. Regarding the news about Chu Yi, we only need to send people to inquire about it, so the other party will not lie to us on this point.
"
"Then they..."
Liu Chong grinned and said with a hint of ferocity: "Don't they want me to kill Chu Yi? I won't kill him, but I will decide on the food, fodder, ordnance!"
Liu Chen had a look of astonishment on his face. In the blink of an eye, Liu Chen slapped his thigh and said with eyes shining: "Brother, what you said makes sense. Chu Yi must be a tough guy. They want us brothers to pull out their teeth. It's just delusional."
, but this person is really stupid, he actually exposed the location of the food and weapons."
Liu Chong nodded and said: "Yes, if nothing else happens, there will definitely be food and ordnance in Cangzhou. Why should we take Chu Yi's head with us? We can take our brothers and grab it directly!"
Liu Chen looked excited and said: "What should we do with this person? Do we want to kill him?"
Liu Chong pondered for a while, then a strange smile flashed in his eyes and said: "No, we can give him to Chu Yi, the governor of the East Factory!"
After hearing what his brother said, Liu Chen opened his mouth wide, but his eyes were full of excitement, and he couldn't help laughing.
Here, Chu Yi escorted the gold and silver and had already approached Cangzhou, which was only a few hundred miles away from the capital.
That night, the team set up camp to rest. A figure quietly sneaked into the camp. A strange bird song sounded. Cao Shaoqin's figure appeared outside the tent. A Dongchang fan appeared and saluted Cao Shaoqin: "
Pay homage to your lord, the Emperor’s secret decree!”
Cao Shaoqin took the secret decree from the other party and entered the camp and said to Chu Yi: "Supervisor, your Majesty's secret decree."
Chu Yi's heart moved. He took the secret order and opened it. He was stunned for a moment and then sighed softly: "Your Majesty, why do you need to do this?"
Cao Shaoqin was stunned for a moment and said in confusion: "Governor, Your Majesty, he..."
He handed the secret decree to Cao Shaoqin and said, "Immediately and quietly recruit a few people from Dongchang to follow me."
Cao Shaoqin couldn't help but look in disbelief when he saw the secret decree: "Your Majesty actually ordered the governor to be in charge of the ceremonial supervisor and the imperial horse supervisor..."
Chu Yi said calmly: "The most important thing is that below, His Majesty has already photographed Zhang Yong leading one of Tengxiang's four guards all the way, and has already built up momentum."
Cao Shaoqin said with excitement: "Your Majesty is really very fond of the governor. On the surface, he asked Zhang Yong to lead the Tengxiang Four Guards out of the capital to greet the governor. In fact, he was attracting everyone's attention, but secretly he was giving a secret order.
The governor returned to the capital quietly, I am afraid that everyone will be shocked when the governor returns to the capital!"
Chu Yi nodded slowly and said: "Since Your Majesty has set up the stage without concealing the truth, we cannot disappoint His Majesty."
Soon Shi Kui, Fang Li, Qi Hu and other Chu Yi's confidants were recruited. Everyone was extremely excited to learn about the emperor's arrangement.
But in comparison, what a few people care about most is that Zhu Houzhao handed over the two most powerful departments, the Li Supervisor and the Royal Horse Supervisor, to Chu Yi. It is absolutely rare for one person to be in charge of the Li Supervisor and the Royal Horse Supervisor alone.
It has never appeared in the Ming Dynasty.
Chu Yi's rise to the top and the emperor's favor and trust will naturally make those who depend on Chu Yi rise.
He only heard Chu Yi cough slightly, his eyes swept over everyone and said: "Shi Kui, Fang Li, Chu Fang, the three of you stay here and work with Gao Feng to escort the gold and silver to the capital, especially General Shi Kui."
, the ones guarding the gold and silver must be our own people, even Gao Feng’s people are not allowed to approach the convoy.”
Shi Kui said in a solemn voice: "Don't worry, Lord Governor, I will guarantee you with your head, as long as you have money!"
Nodding slightly, Chu Yi's eyes fell on Fang Li and said: "Fang Li, you are resourceful and good at eloquence. If something unexpected happens on the way, you can discuss it with General Shi Kui."
It was a surprise to Fang Li. Chu Yi entrusted him with such an important task, which was a reflection of his trust and importance. He immediately fell to the ground, raised his butt high and bowed: "I will definitely live up to the governor!"
Finally, Chu Yi looked at Chu Fang and said: "Chu Fang, you are responsible for concealing the news of my departure. It won't take long. From Gao Feng, you just need to delay me until I return to Beijing."
Chu Fang said confidently: "Don't worry, Lord Governor."
After arranging Shi Kui, Fang Li, and Chu Fang, Chu Yi looked at Cao Shaoqin and Qi Hu said: "Immediately transfer a few Dongchang fans, and we will return to Beijing overnight."
Cao Shaoqin and Qi Hu nodded excitedly and turned to leave.
It was just a matter of time for a cup of tea. Including Chu Yi, there were only a few people in total. One person and two horses quietly left the camp and headed straight for the capital.
Cangzhou is almost four hundred miles away from Beijing. Chu Yi and several people set off overnight with two horses. Although there is a saying that they traveled eight hundred miles at night, this is obviously an exaggeration. Even if they traveled four hundred miles a day, they would have to stop halfway.
It would take more than a dozen times to change the horses for the relay, otherwise, even a thousand-mile horse could run to death.
The next day, at a post station that was still more than a hundred miles away from Beijing, neither Chu Yi nor Cao Shaoqin showed up. A Dongchang stall owner showed his identity and changed horses at the post station, heading straight for Beijing.
In the setting sun, the city of Beijing is still as prosperous as ever. As the flow of people at the city gate gradually decreases, the soldiers guarding the city gate lean against the corners one by one, listless, waiting for the time to close the city gate to rest.
Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horse hoofbeats, and several soldiers wearing ragged military robes, holding spears in their arms and shrinking their necks in the autumn wind suddenly became energetic.
The leader looked towards the direction where the sound of horse hooves came from, and saw fast horses galloping towards the official road in the distance. The leader looked very powerful, but when he looked at the people behind him,
, the long neck shrank and subconsciously took a step back, with a look of fear on his face.
Like a gust of wind, several figures rode past, leaving only a few soldiers waving their hands to beat the raised dust. Some people couldn't help but look at the few people walking away and yelled curses, but before he could curse for the second time, he had a look of surprise on his face.
Shi Chang, who looked frightened, covered the other person's mouth and shouted: "Bitch, if you want to die, don't drag us with you! Do you know who these people are?"
The soldiers couldn't help but look stunned when they saw the terrified look on their faces. They really didn't know who those people who had just passed by were.
Although there are many powerful people in the capital, and they are guarding the city gate, they are very familiar with many powerful people. The key point is that there does not seem to be such a number one person among them?
Seeing the puzzled expressions on his subordinates' faces, Shi Chang let go of the subordinate and kicked him: "You have to pay attention to your bad mouth from now on, otherwise you will die sooner or later because of your bad mouth.
"
As he spoke, Shi Chang glanced timidly towards the city gate and whispered: "If I am not blind with my tricks, those people who just passed by are Dongchang fans with a notorious reputation!"
"This is impossible. It's not like we haven't seen the people in Dongchang before. Those people just now..."
A soldier couldn't help but said after hearing this.
Shi Chang slapped the other person on the head and said: "Is it you who are well-informed or I am well-informed? I don't know the others, but there is one person among them that I remember clearly. That is Dongchang Dangtou
Qi Hu, Dongchang is one of the few masters."
"Hey, it's really Dongchang!"
Thinking about how they almost yelled at each other just now, I couldn't help but sweating on my back now thinking about it. Dongchang has a very bad reputation in Beijing, but it's not like in Jiangnan. It really means that mentioning Dongchang makes many people change their minds.
The palace in the night was like a giant beast lying on the vast earth, but Chu Yi and his party were not heading towards the palace, but towards the Leopard Room in the direction of Taiye Pond in the Xiyuan of the Imperial City.
And go.
[Okay, since everyone can't help but want to see the capital part, let's not set the stage. Hey, code words, code words, please give me a monthly ticket and give me a reward, I feel so miserable. 】
