The weather was fine after noon. After Chang Yu left the palace, he hurried out of the city. The road to Yunnan was long and dangerous, so he took away all the elite of the Yamen in one go. The remaining troops of Hao Yaoqi and Ji Jike were enough to protect the Yamen. Besides, there are still people who want to rob the prison at this time?
Outside Yongding Gate, Tu Yuan led the Black Tiger Camp and had been waiting for a long time. His brothers were asking where they were going after they had packed up so early in the morning.
"When you get to the place, you will know that there are beautiful scenery, food, drink, and beauties. Of course, there is also merit to be gained." Tu Yuan did not mean to show off, so he kept the matter a secret.
While he was talking, he saw several horses running towards the city gate defense line. Tu Yuan hurriedly went to meet them: "Sir, Jiu Guan and Ji Ji have already left for a while."
Chang Yu hummed and said, "Let's just catch up." After saying that, he galloped away, followed closely by everyone. Li Muxian followed Qing Yi and shouted to fellow Taoists, but Qing Yi ignored him and Wuzhong chased after him. Shang Changyu said: "That little Taoist nun is cultivating a very evil sect. Niubi said that what kind of Taoism is he cultivating? What kind of thing is that? It must be a demonic method."
"Yes, it's the magic method specially used to deal with evildoers like you," Chang Yu laughed and scolded. Wu Zhong raised his eyebrows and then said: "The evil sect is a bit evil, but I don't know how good its martial arts are, so I may not be able to accept it." Chang Yu chuckled: "How does Su Jing compare to you?"
"Slightly inferior" Wuzhong said without thinking, Chang Yu asked again: "Can he kill you?"
Wuzhong blurted out: "Natural".
"That's it!" Chang Yu rolled his eyes at Wuzhong: "My martial arts skills are not as good as yours, but that doesn't mean I can't kill you. Qing Yi's martial arts skills are indeed not as good as yours, but I'm more than capable of taking care of you." Wuzhong looked disdainful: "Since my martial arts skills are not as good as mine, Then it would be easy for me to kill him, just like Su Jing can kill me, but it seems that I can't kill her."
"Yes, that's the truth. Everyone has a chance, so don't be so rude in the future." Chang Yu snorted and turned around to angrily scold Li Muxian: "Don't bother her on the road. Don't think she has a good temper. When she is anxious, she is much more cruel than Su Jing." ".
These words shocked Li Muchian. Everyone in the world knew that Su Jing was ruthless, and people in the yamen had seen it with their own eyes, but it was hard to understand that this harmless little Taoist nun in front of her was actually more ruthless than Su Jing: "If it's true, Yes, that really means that people cannot be judged by their appearance."
Of course it can't be true. Qing Yi is just obedient and obedient. Chang Yu just says this because he doesn't want Li Muchian to bother her all the time. Although they are from the same school, they are from different schools. In addition, Li Muchian has a sharp tongue and Chang Yu is worried that he will bring Qing Yi to him. Off.
We are going to Yunnan through thousands of mountains and rivers, but there is no need to delay. Chang Yu has ordered us to do only one thing besides eating, drinking, sleeping, and hurrying on our way. Moreover, they must march more than two hundred miles every day regardless of day or night. This speed is the limit of scouts and messengers when the army travels. The limit of rapid march for cavalry is three hundred miles, but Chang Yu cannot do this because the distance is too far. Such a march would take less than three or five days before the troops and horses would be disabled.
After walking no more than ten miles, a group of people came forward, it was Zhu Cihong and his party. Chang Yu stepped forward and asked Kuang Ren: "Why are you so slow?"
"Actually, we can arrive before noon, but Ninth Young Master insists..." Kuang Ren looked embarrassed. Chang Yu sighed and walked to the carriage. Kun Xing's eyes were red: "Are you going on a long trip?"
Chang Yu nodded.
"Can't you come back even during the New Year?"
Chang Yu nodded again.
"Can't I follow?"
Chang Yu shook his head.
"Okay." Princess Kunxing took out a peace sachet: "I made this with my own hands. There is a peace charm that I asked for in the temple. Take it with you. Remember to come back safely."
"It'll be safe." Chang Yu nodded, and Kun Xing pushed up the car window and sobbed while covering his mouth.
Zhu Cixiang walked over slowly: "I met Ji Jike and the others at midnight. He said he was ordered to go south and asked them where they were going but refused to tell them. Did Zuo Liangyu rebel?"
Chang Yu shook his head: "It's more troublesome than him turning against me."
"Can't you tell me?" Zhu Cixiang frowned and was full of curiosity. Chang Yu smiled slightly: "It's not that I can't tell His Highness, but I'm in a hurry. Your Highness will know it after he returns to Beijing." He said, handing over and saying, "Let's say goodbye."
Zhu Cixiang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I have just returned to the capital to ask for His Highness and his ministers again. Okay, I wish you a great victory and a safe return."
"Kuang Ren, after sending His Highness back to the capital, immediately lead a team to catch up. Wang Zhengnan, Sujing will follow the governor now." Chang Yu got on his horse and left immediately. Princess Kunxing opened the window and looked at his retreating back, and then started crying even harder. Lian Xin's constant comfort at the side was of no use.
Four days later, Jinan.
Suddenly, a distinguished guest came to Prince De's residence. Zhu Youli's happy grin was bigger than Shu Qi's. As Chang Yu's good partner, the vassal king made a lot of efforts and gained a lot. After the death of the Jinan native emperor Liu Zeqing, the person with the greatest interests was It seemed that the imperial court was actually Zhu Youli, so this time Chang Yu passed through Jinan and he had to give him a good reception. He held a banquet in the palace for Chang Yu's personal servants and generals, and even killed a dozen sheep and sent them outside the city to reward the tigers. The brave soldiers of the Third Battalion of Xiong Ying were very caring and rewarded each of them two taels of silver. This made the soldiers of the Third Battalion very happy. As expected, they could eat, drink and get something wherever they went on a mission with the great eunuch.
It’s just that Chang Yu came and went in a hurry, finished his meal in a hurry and wiped his mouth: "We have to go."
This made Zhu Youli a little stunned. He originally wanted to have a good chat with Chang Yu Bingzhu Ye, but he didn't know that he had urgent business to do. If he had no other choice, he would just give it away, but Chang Yu said that you can't give it away empty-handed. Send it, Zhu Youli is in a bit of a dilemma. Although he still has some food on hand during the famine years, he really can't take it out.
Chang Yu spread his hands: "Our family didn't ask for money."
Zhu Youyue understood immediately and sealed the money and sent it: "Seeing that during the Chinese New Year, Eunuch Chang still has to lead all the officials to be pragmatic and hard-working. I am deeply moved that these interrogations are used for the soldiers on the road."
Chang Yu stretched out his hand to take it: "Isn't that bad? If you look back and let others see and hear that Dongchang took bribes and then read our family's book in the court, that's not good! And it will implicate the prince," Zhu Youli said righteously : "This is the salary that I voluntarily donated to the soldiers. If anyone dares to talk nonsense about my involvement in the destruction of his family and his family, when did it become illegal in the Ming Dynasty to even donate salaries!"
"Well said." Chang Yu raised his thumb: "They are just jealous of the prince's good deeds and virtues. Our family will thank the prince on behalf of all the soldiers."
"It should be dripping, it should be dripping." Zhu Youyue laughed loudly, and Chang Yu confessed that his whereabouts were confidential, hoping that he would keep it secret, so Zhu Youyue naturally agreed.
A few days later, at dusk, Chang Yu and his entourage of more than a thousand horses arrived in Xuzhou City and ordered to repair the camp overnight. The big landowner Gao Jieqi naturally treated his brother well. They had not seen each other since Pingbaiwang, so they got together today. There was so much to tell Gao Jie, from the inspection of the Nine Borders to the defense of the Yellow River and Chang Yu's trip to Yunnan, everything was told to Gao Jie, and nothing was hidden. Gao Jie also told how he trapped and killed Xu Dingguo, but only allowed the big thief Li Jiyu to escape. Chang Yu was relieved after hearing this. Historically, Xu Dingguo trapped and killed Gao Jie, but this time he was finally counterattacked. As for Li Jiyu, he would deal with it later. he.
Gao Jie heard about the rebellion in Yunnan and insisted on accompanying him, but Chang Yu declined, leaving him to recharge his batteries and attack Xi'an. It was best not to fight in Yunnan, but if he wanted to fight, he would have to use the troops there. The two of them stared at each other endlessly until midnight, but Mrs. Xing was so anxious that she went into the house and dragged Chang Yu away, saying they had something to discuss.
Chang Yu naturally knew what was going on: "Madam, the situation in the south is really fierce..."
"No matter how anxious you are, it won't take you long. Are you going to be a betrayer?" Mrs. Xing took Chang Yu directly out of the General Military Mansion to Zhang's house in the east of the city, which was his fiancée Zhang Biyun's house. A few months ago, Chang Yu went south to quell the rebellion of the Baiwang tribe. When he passed by Xuzhou while sightseeing, he met a beautiful woman and got out of hand. He flirted with her, slept with her, and settled with her. Then he went to fight and returned to Beijing. In the blink of an eye, a few months In the past, we had already agreed to marry Zhang Biyun, but there was no news.
The Zhang family is also a well-known wealthy family in Xuzhou City. Everyone knows that the daughter of the Zhang family and the commander-in-chief Gao Jie have engaged their brothers. However, naturally there will be rumors about the lack of marriage for so long. This has offended Mrs. Xing. She didn't come to slap those who were gossiping, but there was nothing she could do if Chang Yu didn't come. In order to protect Zhang Biyun, she recognized him as her sister. Mrs. Xing was like a king in Xuzhou City, and now no one dared to break her At least he didn't dare to be as blatant as before.
But even if outsiders didn't say it, the Zhang family themselves were worried. Since ancient times, there have been dandies from a famous family. So Chang Yu is the queen of King Kaiping and comes from a family of generals. Is it just for fun? But seeing the attitude of the Gao family is not like that. , it can be said that my heart is in a state of ups and downs.
Another thing is that now that Chang Yu is famous all over the world and is known to both the government and the public, the Zhang family has never doubted him?
Naturally, I had my doubts, but they were quickly rejected by me. First of all, how could a person after King Kaiping become a eunuch? Secondly, how could a eunuch manage personnel? Zhang Biyun and Chang Yu secretly told her mother about the applause, so they thought it was just the same name. There are many people in the world with the same name.
"Mrs. Sister-in-law, don't you know who I am? How could I do that thing of starting chaos and then giving up?" Chang Yu looked helpless on the way to Zhang's house: "I'm really too busy with official duties."
"Sister-in-law knows that, so she doesn't complain about you. But this girl doesn't know that much. You should go see her and give her some relief, right?" Mrs. That’s all, I won’t cause you any more trouble in the future.”
Chang Yu hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, please don't say that. Brother, I have been an orphan since I was a child. I have lacked discipline and have not done many things well. As a saying goes, a sister-in-law is like a mother. I will listen to your words."
Mrs. Xing was very happy after hearing this: "As long as you don't think I'm nosy."
