A few days later, on the official road from Jiangzhou to Chang'an City, a group of Tang troops escorted several carriages and traveled leisurely.
These were the elite soldiers led by Xu Yunyan and Liu Xiaopeng who had traveled far from Jiangzhou to serve in the capital.
Among the convoy moving forward on this pass, Xu Yunyan was lying in a carriage, resting comfortably.
His head rested on Mei Jingjing's lap, and he held a book he had written that had not yet been published in one hand. He was shaking his head and looking at it, studying how to modify it. From time to time, he opened his mouth and Mei Jingjing stuffed him with some seasonal fruits and vegetables, which felt very comfortable. .
As for Xu Yunyue, the person next to her was itching with hatred.
"This is all mine. Don't steal my fruit. Brother stinky, you've already eaten most of my fruit."
Xu Yunyue declared sovereignty here, but there was no result. The group of people continued to move forward leisurely like this.
After Xu Yunyan left, there were not many changes in Jiangzhou. In Zhechong Mansion, Ma Liang and a group of subordinates were there waiting for the new captain of Zhechong Mansion. Ma Liang kept sighing there.
"Why didn't I follow Mr. Xu to the battlefield? It's possible that I could be promoted to half a rank and become a real captain. Otherwise, it would be good to follow Mr. Xu as an adjutant and serve in the capital."
Ma Liang is so shameless, he is putting gold on his face here.
Brothers Zhou Bo and Zhou Zhong didn't say anything, but Zhai Peng and other Xu Yunyan's confidants were a little confused.
"Why didn't your Excellency take me to the capital this time? Your Excellency took us directly. At least we can still be used. With Liu Xiaopeng, he is a good hand in fighting. At other times, his IQ is almost zero. This Aren’t you making yourself uncomfortable?”
"Yes, yes, yes."
Although these Xu Yunyan's confidants were here to study the farewell of their own adults, Xu Yunyan did not promise him to take him to the capital and was a bit depressed, but things have become like this, and nothing they say will have any effect.
Just when they were thinking about whether the new Jiangzhou Zhechong Mansion would have a captain who could not deal with them, Liu Xiaopeng, who was marching on the pass, suddenly stopped the advancing troops and carriages.
It was not the time to rest, and there was no sudden situation on the road. It stopped like this. Xu Yunyan curiously opened the curtain next to the carriage and looked out.
"What's going on? Why did it stop suddenly?"
Liu Xiaopeng hurriedly drove over, "Sir, there is a forest in front of you. Should we just cross it directly, or should we search it?"
After hearing this news, Xu Yunyan agreed with Liu Xiaopeng's caution. As the saying goes, it's better to be in the woods than in.
"Arrange a few people to go in and search, and the other people will repair it temporarily. After confirming that there is no problem, we will pass quickly."
"okay!"
Liu Xiaopeng got the order and hurriedly arranged for several people to go in and search.
Soon, these people returned.
"Head, there's no problem."
Liu Xiaopeng shouted, "Everyone is here, speed up and cross the woods."
As Liu Xiaopeng shouted, the convoy suddenly accelerated, crossing the woods at the fastest speed and then slowly driving on the official road.
But not long after leaving, Liu Xiaopeng came to ask for instructions again.
"Sir, there is a river ahead. Do you need to get some water?"
"You can just do what you want. Why do you still need to ask about such a trivial matter? You are already a captain, why can't you make your own decisions?"
When Xu Yunyan said this, Liu Xiaopeng scratched his head.
"Isn't this to ensure the safety of adults?"
"Me? Don't worry too much. Now the world is at peace and there aren't so many people fighting and robbing."
But as soon as Xu Yunyan finished saying this, an unknown object rushed down the river. Liu Xiaopeng looked at the object that seemed to be humanoid and was getting closer and closer, and shouted, "All troops are on alert!"
Suddenly, the ordinary Zhezhong soldiers immediately transformed into an extremely brave war machine, tightly surrounding the carriage in the center. Liu Xiaopeng waved his hand again, and the two soldiers rushed to the water's edge and dragged the humanoid object over. .
It turned out to be a drowning man with injuries on his body.
Seeing this, Xu Yunyan's face was a little dull. Just now he said that the world was at peace, and now he was slapped in the face.
And Liu Xiaopeng looked at the people who were dragged up who could withstand death and could no longer die and said, "Search, look, see if there is anything."
Soon everyone found an envelope on his body, but the envelope was soaked in water and it was impossible to see what was written on it. The ink stains on it had spread in the water and were pitch black.
However, a big red seal next to the envelope was clearly visible, but what Xu Yunyan didn't expect was that the soldiers did not recognize this red seal, but Xu Yunyan did.
Although there are five characters in this red seal, Xu Yunyan doesn't know where he writes the first two characters? But I knew the three Zhe Chong Mansion behind them.
It didn’t take a day or two to complete my seal by myself. What is written on it? Can you recognize me?
"This is?"
Xu Yunyan was very curious, "This is the letter sent by Zhe Chong Mansion."
After Xu Yunyan said this, Liu Xiaopeng scratched his head, "It seems wrong, sir. If he was delivering the letter to Zhe Chongfu, why didn't he wear public clothes? On the contrary,
Just like a servant? "
Xu Yunyan nodded, "Although he is just a servant, Captain Zhechong Mansion can also arrange for his own servants to deliver letters, not to mention this seal. Nine times out of ten, this is the case."
Xu Yungang finished speaking. Liu Xiaopeng looked at him differently.
"But now that you are a captain, don't you have no servants?"
have to!
Are you laughing at me if I don't open the pot?
Now Xu Yunyan was very curious about how Liu Xiaopeng, with his personality, managed to become the brigade commander, and how he was selected among the hundred people and made such a joke?
After temporarily confirming the identity of this person, Liu Xiaopeng was talking there before he said anything.
"Since Lord Captain has recognized that this is the messenger from Zhe Chong Mansion, I wonder which Zhe Chong Mansion it is from?"
Xu Yunyan was embarrassed at this moment. He didn't know the first two words, but couldn't he lose his price in front of these people?
what can we do about it?
Then an idea flashed in Xu Yunyan's head and he handed the letter to Liu Xiaopeng.
"See for yourself. Isn't this the seal of Zhe Chong Mansion? See for yourself where it is."
Liu Xiaopeng had no choice but to leave the envelope and was a little embarrassed.
"Lord Captain, I don't know how to read!"
"You ask other people and let them teach you. In the future, you can learn to read and write, and you can become a captain? You don't even know a word. What if you misunderstand a military order? What if you get one? Quite the contrary, this excitement is huge, maybe you will have to be guillotined as soon as you take office as captain."
After Xu Yunyan said this, he stepped forward and carefully searched for any clues worthy of observation on the servant who had sent the message. He just searched again and found nothing.
"It shouldn't be. You don't even have to pay for it?"
Just after Xu Yunyan finished speaking, friend Liu Xiaopeng said something next to him.
"It must be that he encountered a robber. In order to make money, he plundered his money. Otherwise, the messenger would have to have a war horse to deliver the message. The war horse was also robbed, right?"
You're just hitting me in the face naked.
Xu Yunyan complained in his heart, I said that the world is peaceful and the corpse is enough to slap in the face. Although the corpse was obviously killed, and now you say it was robbed, how can you make me feel embarrassed?
But just when Xu Yunyan was complaining here, a soldier said, "Hey, isn't this the seal of Zhechong Prefecture in Hanoi?"
“Hanoi Che Chong House”
I don’t know what will happen in Hanoi during this time, but I have found it and it is still where it is now, so I will send it back to him.
"The First Minister of the Ming Dynasty"
