Zhang Ye said: "It seems that I am just here to see you, your Majesty."
Zhong Yue said: "...are you still in the army?"
Lord Xinling said: "What does Mr. Zhongyue mean?"
Zhong Yue said: "I wish..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a faint voice in his ears. As the cry got closer and closer, I finally heard it clearly: "Urgent, urgent, military situation!"
The faces of the three people in the room changed drastically, and they immediately stood up and walked out the door. Zhang Ye asked Xinling Lord and Zhong Yue to stay in the hall while he continued to walk out. As soon as he walked down the steps, a man dressed as a soldier rushed in holding a talisman in his hand. Zhang Ye stepped forward to stop him and asked, "What's the military situation?" When the military envoy saw Zhang Ye coming down from the lobby, he immediately stopped to salute and said, "The Daliang Gate Guard Battalion reported urgent military information!" Zhang Ye stepped forward to inspect the festival talisman. He led the military envoy up the steps, stood in front of the door, and said: "General is here. If you have any military information, please report it immediately."
The military envoy said: "Report, Daliang Gate Guard Battalion Commander Mang saw the young masters passing by died on the road, and the carriages and passengers were gone."
After hearing the military envoy's report, everyone in the hall was immediately stunned. Lord Xinling struggled and said, "Tell me more details~" His voice changed.
The military envoy said: "Si Mang, the guard camp of Daliang, saw the young master in front of him died on the road, and his carriage was gone!"
Zhong Yue was the first to regain his composure and asked, "How many young masters are there who died violently?"
The military envoy said: "Nine people."
Zhong Yue said: "Where did he die?"
The military envoy said: "In the wilderness, about ten miles away from here."
Zhong Yue said: "Where is Si Mang now?"
The military envoy said: "The commander of the camp ordered the villain to return to the city to report the news, and he and the other brothers spread out to guard."
Zhong Yue said: "Is Si Mang okay?"
The military envoy said: "The camp commander is still fine."
Zhongyue glanced at Lord Xinling and saw that he had no reaction; then he glanced at Zhang Noi, who said to the military envoy: "Follow me to the wing to rest for a while. I will ask more questions soon." He led the military envoy down. steps.
When Zhong Yue saw the military envoy descending the steps, he quietly stepped forward and gave Lord Xinling a hand, saying, "Is your Majesty okay?"
Lord Xinling came to his senses and let out a shrill cry, which frightened the military envoy who had already descended the steps and trembled all over. Zhang He hurriedly said: "Please come this way." The military envoy calmed down and said with a forced smile: "The villain's eyes are still shining with blood, and he can't help but tremble." Zhang He said, "Let's go to the wing and explain in detail."
Lord Xinling in the hall looked stern and knelt directly on the ground. Zhong Yue thoughtfully brought him a mat and spread it on the ground. Lord Xinling refused to sit on the mat. He only motioned for Zhong Yue to sit down. Zhong Yue had no choice but to sit down outside the mat, and the two looked at each other across the mat.
Zhong Yue said: "You must also be anxious to deal with the military situation."
Lord Xinling said: "I'll do it, sir. Please give me your blessing, sir." Zhongyue bowed his hands, stood up, walked out, and beat the big drum on the flag and drum cart.
Many doormen who heard the noise and came out of the wing have gathered in the court. Some of them heard most of the process, some knew a small part, and some still knew nothing about what happened and were about to ask. Suddenly Zhong Yue came out. Before the guests could ask, Zhong Yue beat the drum. The guests immediately stopped making noise and stood in order in the court below the steps. Zhong Yue then pointed to the three disciples and said: "Prepare the carts and beat the drums to patrol the camp." After the three disciples prepared the carts, Zhong Yue had already taken a knot talisman from the hall and said: "Every camp patrols the drums!" Three Each took the festival talisman, pulled the flag and drum cart out of the house, jumped on the cart, and beat the drums away.
The guests who had the sexton outside also returned one after another. Mr. Xiahou dragged the little city lord into the back door, walked through the hall and around the courtyard to the front courtyard. The little city lord felt an indescribable feeling in his heart when he saw that his mansion was in good order and there was no female dependents along the way. Because Mr. Xiahou was nearby and it was difficult to reveal anything, he had to follow closely to the vestibule.
The flag and drum car came back after a round trip. The retainers sent to each battalion and soldiers from the battalion divisions outside the city, after hearing the drums, made arrangements for the formation of the team, and came over one after another.
After the three drums were played, the court was already full of people. The city was also filled with soldiers wearing halberds and armor. After adjusting, Lord Xinling came out of the lobby and greeted all the guests and officers, and everyone returned the courtesy.
Later, Zhang Ye and Zhong Yue also walked out of the hall. Zhang He walked down the steps and said: "We received an urgent military report. Some people killed our envoys in broad daylight. The general ordered: In addition to guarding the city, the Central Guards will send a soldier to accompany the special envoys to search for the thieves. The remaining four schools, except In addition to reining in the troops and preparing for war, each sent out soldiers to search for ten miles. Anyone who had any doubts would be captured immediately. They will not be taken back without orders. Each division led back to the camp to make arrangements. Your Majesty, please gentlemen, stay here temporarily."
Everyone agreed and filed out. Ying Si, who came in last, came out again before he could catch his breath. Some didn't hear clearly and hurriedly whispered to the people around them to find out what the master had ordered. The diners remained in the court, waiting for further instructions.
After all the officials and officials had left, Lord Xinling, Zhang Ye and Zhong Yue walked down the steps, called all the guests to sit beside them, and sat down in a half circle. Zhang Ye said: "There are people who want to harm the king, so I will leave you to discuss it."
When everyone heard this, they straightened their bodies.
Zhang Ye said: "The matter is urgent. We should first ask Mr. Zhongyue to investigate his situation. I hope he will accompany me. Fortunately, please don't say goodbye!" Everyone responded. Zhong Yue called a dozen of his retainers, took the military envoy who reported the news, and got up and left. The soldiers of the central guard outside the city had already lined up. Zhong Yue greeted them and followed the envoy to the place where the incident occurred.
Under Zhang Ye's arrangement, the remaining retainers either guarded the courtyard, patrolled inside or outside the city, went to various camps, or stayed on standby, each with their own orders. The little city lord was not a guest, but he was kept by Mr. Xiahou. After all the guests dispersed, Lord Xinling and Zhang Noi looked at Mr. Xiahou and the little city lord and said, "Mr.
Xia Hou said: "I stayed because I didn't have a life, so how could I have any education?"
Zhang He said: "Mr. Xiahou, I am your servant, how dare you order me?"
Lord Xinling said: "Sir, please don't joke, but if you have something to teach me, please tell me."
Mr. Xiahou said: "I have been ordered to lead hundreds of chariots to the fields to transport grain. Can I continue?"
Lord Xinling was stunned when he heard this and asked, "What do you think, sir?"
Mr. Xia Hou said: "Er Lu's servants are fifty chariots, and the little city lord has sent fifty chariots again, and a hundred chariots have been gathered. I think it is not appropriate to change the order, but we can proceed as it is."
Zhang He asked: "Where is the assassin on the way?"
Mr. Xiahou said: "With the city lord and Mr. Er Lu here, there is no harm in the materials."
Lord Xinling and Zhang Jue heard this, and if they understood something, they said: "In this case, Mr. Lao can handle it appropriately."
Mr. Xiahou turned to the little city lord and said: "This will help the city lord deal with it properly." After saying this, he smiled and without waiting for the little city lord's reply, he added: "I haven't returned for a few days, and my family is looking forward to it. The city lord can come to the back house to comfort me."
The little city lord said in fear: "How dare you, the guilty minister. The good and bad of the whole family are all entrusted to the general, so I don't dare to care."
Mr. Xia Hou said: "Your Majesty is a benevolent and righteous person. Your ministers will be loyal and you will repay them with benevolence and righteousness. There will be no discrepancies. Women and children's longing will become stagnant in their chests and will eventually lead to illness. Why shouldn't the city lord understand it?"
The little city lord said: "In this case, please guide me sir."
Mr. Xiahou said: "You still need me to guide you in your own house. You can just go to the back house to visit!"
