Jingying, Jieshuai Camp
Jia Heng and Princess Xianning got off the carriage, surrounded by Jinyi Mansion's personal guards Qianhu Liu Jixian, who spread out to join the Jinyi Mansion's guards, looking solemn and holding knives on guard.
At this time, the captain who was leading the troops on the watchtower quickly turned back to report.
"Sir, this is the capital camp." Princess Xianning got off the carriage and stood in front of the carriage. The girl raised her eyes and looked at the lush foothills of the forest, the campsite ravine, the antler fence, the guard box and the arrow stack, and the teams were guarding with knives. The soldiers walked on the neat tree-lined avenue paved with blue bricks, feeling slightly surprised, and their crystal eyes gradually filled with joy.
Jia Heng turned to look at the girl who was looking curiously at the side, smiled and said: "Your Highness, please go in and visit.
"Yes." Princess Xianning said quietly, glanced at the boy in the python suit, and felt inexplicably happy. "In a humble position, I have seen a handsome man."
At this time, a young general wearing black armor and a red cloak came quickly from a distance, cupped his fists and said to Jia Heng.
It is Jia Fang, a member of the Jia family.
Jia Heng asked: "Where are Chief Song and General Xie?"
Jia Fang looked at the young man in the python suit with eager and respectful eyes, raised his hands and said, "Reporting to Commander-in-Chief, we have already sent someone to notify several generals."
Jia Heng nodded and said in a deep voice: "Follow me to the Chinese army barracks." "No."
While talking, Jia Heng led Princess Xianning into the camp under the guards of Jinyi Mansion. At this moment, there were shouts and shouts in her ears, and the barracks with green bricks and black tiles were arranged in an orderly manner, with rows of vertical poplar trees standing straight, and the soldiers and generals The scene of the rehearsal caught the eyes of Princess Xianning.
Song Yuan, the marching chief, the guard general Xie Zaiyi, the guerrilla general Cai Quan, the Guoyong camp commanders Qu Guang, Shan Ming, Xiao Lin, Shao Chao and other Guoyong camp generals have learned that Jia Heng has come to ask questions. As well as the first-class men who came to the Jieshuai camp to handle business, Xie Jing, who was promoted from the guerrilla camp of the Beijing camp to the governor of Jinshi, came here to welcome him.
Since Jia Heng became the Deputy Envoy of the Jingying Camp and took charge of the troops and horses of the Jingying Camp, all the garrison troops and horses near the Jie Commander Camp were replaced by Guoyong Camp. Therefore, the writing of Guoyong Camp gradually became more and more closely related to the calligraphers. Daying joint office.
"I have seen the commander-in-chief in my humble position." The civil servants and generals of the Chinese army, led by Song Yuan, the marching director, said with their hands in hand.
This middle-aged scholar who had spent an unknown number of years in the Imperial College was now in charge of an army of more than 100,000 men. Ji Yiwen had a humble and powerful position, and was high-spirited. His face had lost its elegance and became more decisive and perseverant.
Jia Heng glanced at the generals. In his imagination, the Chinese Army Camp still lacked a clerk to join the army. After thinking about it, he felt that it would be better to transfer Fan Yi to the Beijing Camp. In the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division Since it's not a pleasant stay, it's better to come to Beijing Camp.
Originally, he thought that Fan Yi would help him keep an eye on the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, but now that he thinks about it, he might be able to promote his cousin Dong Qian to the commander of the First City. When the time is right, he can then hand over the Five Cities Military and Horse Division to Lord Wei. .
He couldn't keep suppressing the King of Wei forever. Over time, it would be easy for him to accumulate grudges and turn into enemies.
After all, there are still too few core cronies under his command. There is no war in the Jia clan and the growth rate is still slow. Maybe it would be good to transfer Shi Ding's son Shi Yi to the capital to serve as the city commander?
This can be regarded as because Shi Ding had just reciprocated the favor by siding with him at the palace gate in front of Prince Wang of Xining County and Liu Fang.
These thoughts just passed through my mind.
Jia Heng nodded slightly and said calmly: "Excuse me. This is Princess Xianning. She is here to observe the appearance of our officers and soldiers in the Beijing camp."
The generals were originally surprised to see who the tall and beautiful woman next to Jia Heng was. When they heard this, they were all stunned, cupped their fists and said, "I have met Her Royal Highness, Princess."
Princess Xianning's clear eyes flashed, her face flushed and her ears warmed as she heard the address. She glanced at the boy in the python suit aside from the corner of her eye, feeling both sweet and shy at the same time.
For some reason, standing next to him and being congratulated by the generals, it always felt like the generals were paying homage to his wife.
"Excuse me, generals. I am here to... view the military appearance." "The noble girl suppressed the chaotic thoughts in her heart, and her clear voice was like ice and snow melting, making people feel refreshed.
The generals secretly thought that he was such a noble man from Tianhuang with extraordinary bearing and celestial beauty.
"Your Highness, please look around. This is the commander's camp. There are three thousand central guards. I will have people prepare some military parades later, and your Highness can review them.
"Jia Heng turned to look at Princess Xianning. The girl's crescent-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes were full of hope. Her delicate facial features were similar to those of the Empress of the Song Dynasty. She didn't have much gentleness, but she inherited more of the cold and quiet temperament of Imperial Concubine Duanrong. .
Indescribable feeling.
"Yes." Princess Xianning retracted her gaze and turned her eyes full of joy to Jia Heng.
Then the two of them, accompanied by the generals' retinue, visited the camp.
The Jieshuai Camp was custom-made as usual and should have a Central Guard Army of 3,000 troops. This unit was completely drawn from Guo Yong Camp by Xie Zaiyi and was considered the elite of Jia Heng's direct lineage.
"Your Highness, those are the archers. They are practicing according to the training regulations and practicing their shooting skills." Jia Heng pointed to the soldiers practicing in the distance and explained to Princess Xianning beside her.
Princess Xianning glanced at the soldiers holding bows and arrows, and said softly: "It looks very orderly. Hey, what are you doing over there?"
Looking at the soldiers who were falling from the high platform and being caught by several soldiers, cheers came from time to time.
Jia Heng smiled and said: "Exercise the power of unity and cooperation. We are all brothers on the battlefield. If we don't trust each other, how can we trust each other with our lives? Falling backward like this shows Jiyu's trust in his comrade Jun Cui. In the long run, the friendship between Pao and Ze can also be enhanced.
Princess Xianning's starry eyes shone brightly, and she seemed to be thinking faintly. She asked in surprise: "Is this the method of training soldiers that the master thought of?"
She had never seen such a training method in the previous Han army.
Jia Heng smiled and said: "It's just some small methods. In addition, there are some Cuju, tug-of-war, internal affairs... and other methods to stimulate the soldiers to compete for the lead."
In his previous life, he served in the border defense army and led new soldiers, so he had already learned these things deep in his bones.
Of course, there are other means of material rewards for soldiers in the Beijing camp. Although they are not heavy rewards, they are very easy to win over people's hearts. There are also subsidies for family members.
For example, during the holidays, some gifts may be sent to the home, which is more effective than giving them to the soldiers themselves.
Every general and soldier's family situation and basic personal resume information must be registered. Of course, it is limited by paperwork, which consumes too much manpower and material resources. At present, only Guoyong Camp relies on a The configuration of the One Hundred Households and One Gold Book Office is barely feasible.
Princess Xianning listened and felt that these arrangements were indescribably ingenious, and praised: "Sir, you are worthy of mastering the art of war. These are not mentioned in Sun Wu's Art of War, right?"
Jia Heng shook his head and said: "Actually, there is a similar method, lying down without setting up a table, walking without riding, loving soldiers as sons, but it often loses the dignity."
For example, Wu Qi sucked pus for a soldier, but the soldier's mother was not grateful and instead shed tears of sadness.
This kind of inspiration based on the personal charm of generals is unsustainable and unscientific compared to institutional honor inspiration and discipline construction.
Princess Xianning said softly: "I read some history books, and it seems that the soldiers and horses of some dynasty deliberately organized the township party, father and son to train together. If one person dies, they will be imprisoned by the same enemy."
Jia Heng smiled and said, "Your Highness is talking about Wei Boya Bing, right?"
"Sir, you are indeed knowledgeable." Princess Xianning's eyes lit up and she looked at Jia Heng with bright eyes.
Jia Heng said: "How can I not know that the emperor of Chang'an has Wei Boya soldiers? Their father and son are hereditary, their marriage parties are mutually exclusive, and they are arrogant and disregard the law. Such soldiers are rampant for a while, but they are not a strong army. Moreover, the Beijing camp is the screen of the capital, and it is also We don’t need such arrogant and powerful generals who commit crimes. What I, the great Han, need is a mighty army that can fight a hundred battles as fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, as aggressive as fire, as motionless as a mountain, and capable of carrying out orders and prohibitions!"
Princess Xianning "chewed" Jia Heng's words with a thoughtful look on her face. She clicked on the title page and said in a clear voice: "What you said is true."
Xie Zaiyi winked at Cai Quan and asked in a low voice: "Old Cai, this princess has a very happy conversation with Commander Jie. What is her relationship?"
Cai Quan smiled and whispered: "I don't know, I guess they are friends."
Jia Heng and Princess Xianning were strolling around. At this time, the guard general Xie Zaiyi clasped his fists and said: "Commander, the troops and horses are ready for the parade. Can you organize a review of the relevant soldiers?"
Jia Heng looked at Princess Xianning and invited her, "Your Highness, go to the stand over there to watch the military parade." Princess Xianning said softly, and then followed Jia Heng towards the reed tent built with bamboo beams.
Then, I saw the 1st Battalion of the Central Guard Army conducting military drills on the school field.
The formation is like a forest of spearmen standing upright, surrounded by soldiers with swords and shields. Under the leadership of the general, they line up to wait.
At this time, a general who looked like a fifth-grade military attache came quickly, clasped his fists towards Jia Heng and Princess Xianning and said: "The first battalion of the Central Guards has finished lining up. Please review it with the commander-in-chief and the princess."
Princess Xianning heard her name being mentioned by the general. For some reason, her heart beat violently, and the hands hidden in her sleeves clenched tightly. An unprecedented experience came to her heart, and she felt a little breathless.
Jia Heng looked at Princess Xianning aside and said, "Your Highness, you can give the order." Princess Xianning looked at Jia Heng in surprise, as if wondering, how to give the order?
Jia Heng paused, looked at the guerrilla general, and said, "Zhao Guerrilla, let's start." The general clasped his fists in response, and then ordered a group of soldiers and horses to start training.
When Princess Xianning saw this, she felt secretly regretful, but then she heard a gentle voice in her ear, "It's okay, Your Highness, you can come here more often next time."
"Yes." Princess Xianning looked at the admiring young man beside her. She felt that the stern and cold face under the official hat had soft lines under the afternoon sunlight, and the cold eyes under the sword-shaped eyebrows almost made people's hearts flutter.
Jia Heng said: "Your Highness, this time there will be more confrontation than the previous military parade at Anshun Gate. If your Highness has something you don't understand, you can ask my Highness?"
Princess Xianning was lost in thought, when she suddenly heard a call, her heart skipped a beat, her curved eyebrows trembled, her crystal clear eyes dodged, her jade face and snowy skin were dyed with a layer of crimson, and she whispered: "Sir, if I If you don’t understand, I’ll ask sir.”
This is too embarrassing. She was not like this in the past.
Jia Heng turned his head and looked at the soldiers who were doing the drill. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curve. He chuckled and murmured in a low voice: "When we first met outside Shenjing City, I didn't realize His Highness was so shy. Then Shi Shen is clear and graceful, cold and beautiful, and she still looks like a cold beauty."
Princess Xianning: "...."
What is cold...cold beauty?
Also, she has a clear and graceful body, and she is cold and serene. These are all words that make people blush. Is this a compliment to her? She is like that... But the gentleman has a complaining tone. What's going on? Son?
Well, maybe sir likes her cold beauty look? Do you want her...?
The girl's heart palpitated, and she always felt that such an idea was really weird, but she began to think back to the first time they met. At that time, in the suburbs of Beijing, the young man looked proud, and she just glanced at him while riding on the horse. At that time, she was a little proud of her husband?
At this time, the orderly sound of the soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp brought the confused girl's thoughts back to her mind. It was different from the military parade at Anshun Gate. This time, as Jia Heng said before, It has more of a practical meaning.
Princess Xianning stared at the neat and majestic military ranks. As the military formations were drilled and the two teams confronted each other, her cheeks gradually turned red and her heart agitated.
After a while, the troops and horses suddenly stopped, and nearly a thousand soldiers saluted Jia Heng and Princess Xianning in unison. "I have met Commander Ji and His Highness Xianning."
In the spring afternoon, the sound of the general's armor and the clash of weapons was like a roaring mountain and a tsunami, deafening.
Princess Fang of Xianning's heart beat even harder. This was what she wanted to do when she was drunk, reading swords by lamplight, and dreaming about the company's trumpet blowing.
"Your Highness." Jia Heng turned to look at the soldiers who had returned to camp under the order, calling Princess Xianning who was immersed in some emotion.
The princess of Xianning, with her beautiful face, reluctantly regained her composure and asked: "Sir, how much more powerful do you think the soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp are compared to the last time at Anshun Gate?"
Jia Heng smiled and said: "It has been a long time, and I have been training for a lot of time. I am definitely getting better every day."
"Too."
At this moment, a young general ran from a distance.
"Jie Shuai, Qu Zhenfu has arrived." Liu Jixian, a member of the Qianhu Family in Jinyi, said with a solemn expression and cupped his fists. As for the other generals who were knowledgeable and interested, most of them watched from a distance and did not get close.
Jia Heng nodded towards Liu Jixian, turned to Princess Xianning, and said softly: "Your Highness, let's go to the barracks."
He had previously summoned Qu Lang from Jinyi Mansion to discuss matters.
In the barracks, Qu Lang and several generals from the Jinyi Mansion came over and sat on chairs waiting. When they saw Jia Heng and a group of people surrounded by people,
A woman came over, stood up, clasped her fists and said, "Sir.
"Yesterday, I asked you to ask Henan, did you receive a reply?" Jia Heng asked.
Qu Lang said solemnly: "After receiving the order from the Governor, I sent a carrier pigeon to the Henan side. Kaifeng Prefecture and Luoyang in Henan Province both have Qianhu Station of the Guard stationed there. The carrier pigeon came from the Luoyang side and said that they would send people to Runing Prefecture to check. , and there has been no response to the sealing of the Thousand Households, and perhaps they are still sending people to Runing Mansion to investigate."
Jinyi Mansion has Jinyi Mansion Thousand Household Offices in Henan and Kaifeng, and Qianhu Office in Luoyang. The main purpose is to monitor the Chen Han clan, such as King Wei and King Zheng. As for Kaifeng, which is the provincial capital, all provincial officials are In Kaifeng, Jinyi Mansion naturally set up a Jinyi Thousand Household Office to monitor local officials.
Jia Heng frowned and said in a deep voice: "If we urge you again, we will hurry up another six hundred miles and send a group of Jinyi captains to Runing Mansion in Henan to check for themselves. If there are any changes, we will use carrier pigeons to deliver the news."
"What do you mean, Sir, Henan Jinyi is unreliable?" Qu Lang frowned and said hesitantly.
Jia Heng said: "Whether it is reliable or not is another matter. It's just that Jinyi Mansion has just been restructured. It goes without saying that in the capital, no one dares to slack off, but in Luoyang, Bingfeng, these Jinyi personnel are not known to the capital. If there is any perfunctory If you are lazy and negligent, you will delay the military plan. Moreover, thieves may not deceive Jinyi and delay the time."
Even the Jinyi Mansion cannot maintain efficiency far away from the central government. This is the self-protection mechanism or degenerate inertia of bureaucracy.
It is human nature to like leisure and hate work.
Qu Lang said coldly: "If this is the case, it should be done as an expert."
"Even if he neglects his duties, he can only be held accountable after the fact. The most urgent task now is to adjust the trends in Henan." Jia Heng sighed and said.
"Commander, I will take my men to Henan to inspect the enemy's situation in person." Qu Lang said with a straight face and clasped his fists.
Hearing this, Jia Heng nodded, his eyes a little gentler and said: "It's okay for you to go, it's just that you're tired from pommeling and riding, so you still have to pay attention to safety."
Those who go to Henan for inquiries do not need a careful person, so it is better to go through Qulang.
At this time, Xie Zaiyi and other generals listened to the communication between Jia Heng and the young general in Jinyi. They all looked at each other with doubts in their hearts.
Jia Heng then looked around at the generals around him and said in a deep voice: "Henan Dusi mobilized troops and horses to suppress the bandits. I predict that something will happen, so we need to make arrangements in advance."
Song Yuan and the other generals were not aware of the results of the meeting between the Military Aircraft Department and the Cabinet this morning. They were surprised when they heard this and asked: "Commander Jie, something happened in Henan. Has this matter been reported to the Holy Majesty?"
"This is just my speculation. I reported it to the Holy One yesterday. The Holy One summoned all ministers to discuss it this morning. Most people disagreed..." Jia Heng said with a calm expression and ordered: "Cai Quan, get the map of Henan and other places.
As a gathering place for elite soldiers from all over the world, the Jingying camp naturally has maps of the mountains and rivers of various provinces, prefectures and counties, as well as troop deployment plans.
Upon hearing this, Cai Quan responded, then took the map, cupped his hands and said, "Sir, map.
With a map of Henan Province hanging on the screen, under the attention of all the generals, Jia Heng took out a wooden stick, pointed at Kaifeng Mansion and said: "From Runing Mansion to Kaifeng Mansion, if you attack with light cavalry, it will be It takes more than ten days to travel, and the time required to attack Runing Prefecture and govern Ruyang from Luoshan County is even shorter. If the army is defeated, even if we expedite the express delivery with 600 yuan, we will not be able to rush to Kaifeng in time to respond. .”
If the official army in Luoshan County, Runing Prefecture, is defeated, then the bandits will have a large number of horses, and there will be a possibility of a surprise attack on Kaifeng.
Jia Heng said: "Generals, this time we have to train cavalry and use light cavalry to support us. Once we have received the military report from Jinyi Mansion and delivered it to the palace, we can gather all the elite cavalry from the Beijing camp and march to Luoyang Mansion. If you save Luoyang Mansion first, Kaifeng Mansion will probably not be saved."
It was impossible for the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp to fly over, so they had to abandon the infantry and use all cavalry to rush for reinforcements.
When the generals heard this, their expressions were solemn, and they all understood the seriousness of the matter. The fall of a provincial capital was something that had not happened in more than ten years.
Compared with the other officials who still had doubts, Guo Yongying had no doubts about Jia Heng's judgment.
Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "There is no room for loss in Luoyang! If Luoyang is lost, there are many vassal kings and nobles there, and if Luoyang is attacked by the insurrectionary troops, Luoyang will bleed... The world will be shocked! Fortunately, the Henan Dusi did not deploy Luoyang Guards and Ruzhou Guards
The soldiers and horses, no matter how vulnerable these guards are, can still buy us some time. "
As a large city, Luoyang was not only home to the two feudal lords Wei and Zheng, but also to the relatives of Empress Dowager Feng and countless other nobles, most of whom lived in Luoyang.
The reason why the Henan Dusi did not dare to use the Luoyang Guard and the Ruzhou Guard in addition to the Nanyang Guard and Runing Guard, as well as the Xuanwu Guard and Zhangde Guard, was out of this consideration.
Otherwise, if Luoyang falls, no one will be able to shoulder this political responsibility.
If there are police officers in Luoyang, then the Luoyang Guards, Ruzhou Guards, and Henan Guards can be nearby to defend him. Not to mention other things, they can buy him some time.
Jia Heng then ordered: "The top priority now is to mobilize the cavalry and select good generals. I will use the Shenshu Battalion under the Guoyong Battalion as the backbone, and will also mobilize the generals of the Shenshu Battalion from other regiments to conduct coordinated drills to prepare for emergencies." In addition, the Guoyong Camp Infantry Army must also be prepared, and several generals will then march to Henan."
This does not mean that infantry is completely unnecessary. The infantry will then carry baggage to reinforce.
Song Yuan cupped his hands and said: "Commander Jie, I have been cooperating with the cavalry generals of the 12th Regiment and Battalion in the past few days."
Each of the Twelve Regiment Battalions has Shenshu Battalion (cavalry), Fifth Army Battalion (infantry), and Shenji Battalion. This is to gather the cavalry from the Twelve Regiment Battalion and prepare to go to Henan for rescue.
However, the actual strength of each regiment's Shenshu camp is not large, because the cavalry has always been a precious unit, and they can only use the Beijing camp, otherwise they will not be able to put out the fire as quickly as possible.
"Not only that, the chief secretary of the Song Dynasty, but also the baggage and ordnance must be well prepared. It is difficult for Henan prefectures and counties to replenish military supplies." Jia Heng said in a deep voice, then looked around at the generals and asked: "Is there still a promise?" What's the problem? You can ask me to check and fill in the gaps."
All the generals had nothing else to do and took their orders and left.
Princess Xianning suddenly raised her slender hand and asked: "Sir, I have another question." Jia Heng looked at Princess Xianning with a gentle look and said seriously: "Your Highness, please speak."
"Sir, by mobilizing troops and horses like this, I'm afraid that the people in Shenjing will be panicked, and someone will take the opportunity to criticize you for his evil intentions." Princess Xianning said softly with her bright eyes full of worry.
This is because Jia Heng is worried about the direction of the court.
"This is not a troop deployment, but a training exercise in the Beijing Camp. The Beijing Camp has not received the imperial decree and will not go to Henan to send troops one by one. These are just preliminary preparations. If there is an impeachment by the imperial censor, His Highness Xianning will have to testify for this commander. ." Jia Heng said softly, looked at Princess Xianning calmly, smiled and said.
He secretly thought, if Xianning is introduced to Tanchun, the two of them should have something to say.
Princess Xianning looked at this cold smile and pursed her lips. Her heart seemed to skip a beat. Especially after hearing this answer, she felt an indescribable sense of relief in her heart. She said in a clear voice: "Then I have been reading and reading these days. The training in the Beijing camp was a testimony for my husband and also a way for him to suppress the noise.
Jia Heng cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much."
He didn't care about the imperial censor's impeachment, but he still had to care about Emperor Chongping's opinion. If Emperor Chongping was suspicious of his "stubborn" troop deployment and warned him again, he wouldn't worry about others later. Yes, the emperor might feel it was too embarrassing afterwards, so he would not send him to quell the rebellion.
Then, in a sense, he became Tian Feng.
To put it bluntly, this is just pulling too far, causing the emperor to make another stupid move that is too stupid to see. In order to maintain the emperor's prestige in the future, even if you are obviously right, I will not use you!
Moreover, pushing the emperor to an even more stupid level also hides the cause of disaster. Are you smarter than the emperor?
Therefore, he deliberately invited Princess Xianning to watch the military parade today, so that even if the emperor hesitated afterwards, he would finally have a step to go down.
It's not that I don't listen to what Jia Ziyu said, it's because you military officers and cabinet ministers are interfering with my judgment. If I listen to both, I will understand, and if I have any doubts, I will follow it.
Besides, my daughter was in the army watching the military parade. In the end, I was still a little worried and acquiesced to Jia Heng's necessary preparations.
And afterwards, this move would also clear the way for Xianning to join the army, and he would not break his promise to Xianning. Princess Xianning frowned and said in deep thought: "Sir, then I have no problem, no, there is one more thing, I'm afraid I need to talk to you alone.
Jia Heng was surprised for a moment, feeling that something was unusual.
Qu Lang raised his hands and said: "I'm waiting outside now."
Waiting for the governor. "Jia Heng nodded, and then looked at Princess Xianning doubtfully.
Princess Xianning looked worried. She walked up to Jia Heng, pointed to Kaifeng Mansion on the map, and whispered: "As the teacher said, Kaifeng will be destroyed. Fourth uncle, he is now the magistrate of Xiangfu County in Kaifeng, wouldn't he?" Danger?"
Jia Heng was shocked when he heard this, frowned, and asked: "Your Highness, are you talking about Uncle Song? Isn't it just at noon..."
"It's not the third uncle, it's the fourth uncle. I just suddenly thought of it. The fourth uncle is now the magistrate of Xiangfu County in Kaifeng Prefecture." Princess Xianning explained the reason and explained: "The queen mother and the mother concubine are the most distressed to the fourth uncle. My uncle, he is the son of my grandfather’s family, and he is about to complete his term in Henan this time.”
"Then send Jin Yi to Kaifeng Mansion for rescue, and also give a warning to the Henan Governor's Yamen." Jia Heng thought for a while and whispered.
In his estimation, these would probably be late for the trip.
Princess Xianning looked gloomy and said in a worried tone: "It would be best if nothing happens to my uncle."
Jia Heng didn't say much, then left the barracks and ordered Qu Lang to send another group of people to Kaifeng Mansion to rescue Uncle Song Guo.
