In addition, Li Qiao, the imperial envoy who looked like half a prince, also scared him badly.
He has never seen a more courageous civil servant than Li Qiao!
Brother Li is a very brave man, but he has a small heart. He cannot bear the bravery of Brother Li who rushes to the front line wholeheartedly. He wants Li Qiao to return to Shengjing and set off immediately without any delay.
Faced with the urging of these people, Li Qiao did not agree.
Now that he has come to the border town, he must complete the tasks assigned to him by Sheng Hong.
Furthermore, he also wanted to see how the barbarians would react.
If the barbarians come again, he will just consume another wave of barbarians.
"Sir, you promised to treat everyone to drinks and food after the war. Why don't we do this together? This time the soldiers were only injured, not disabled. I can only fulfill half of my promise."
Li Qiao mentioned this matter and said that he really still had a lot of unfinished business.
Hearing this, Chang Wuchang suddenly felt dizzy: "No, no, no, you don't have to worry about this. I can handle such a small matter by myself."
"But I do want to invite the soldiers who fought bravely to fight the enemy to drink and eat meat. I was standing on the tower at the time, and I will never forget the scene of the soldiers fighting the enemy to the point of exhaustion. Let's invite us to enjoy this delicious meal together. .”
Li Qiao said with a sincere face.
"Then you go back to Beijing. If you go back to Beijing today, we will treat you to this dinner and dinner together."
Chang Wuchang immediately changed his words.
"That won't work. How can I return to Beijing before the orders from the Holy One are completed?"
Li Qiao repeated what he just said.
"The Holy One will never blame you!"
Chang Wuchang also repeated what he just said.
Seeing this, Li Qiao waved his hand: "Then I'd better stay in the border town."
Chang Wuchang: "..."
Skull pain.
Chang Wuchang could not tie Li Qiao into the carriage. He could only look at Li Qiao and ask about various situations of yesterday's war.
How much is the weapon's wear and tear exactly, and when can it be replenished?
Exactly how many Hu people died, and how are we going to repay this military merit?
So many people died on the battlefield outside the city. It should be disinfected with quicklime and other drugs.
There are also enemy corpses in the Hulu River. Now they have floated downstream. I wonder if they will affect the water quality downstream.
Of course, what happened to the Hu people at this time?
The Hu people are fighting among themselves so fiercely. Can Chang Wuchang's spies find out any information?
He also wanted to take care of the soldiers who were injured yesterday.
All in all, he had so many concerns that it was impossible to let him go.
Chang Wuchang: "..."
His head really hurts!
However, he has already sent a letter to the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit should let Brother Li return to Beijing.
So, he suppressed the anxiety in his heart and could only let Li Qiao follow him, or he could follow Li Qiao around, and another day passed like this.
At this time, Shengjing and Shenghong were almost heartbroken after their ups and downs.
People from the border town eight hundred miles away rushed to report that the Hu people were besieging the city with an army of 200,000 to 300,000 people. After reading the secret report, his vision went dark and he almost fainted.
His Li Aiqing is still in the border town!
He didn't have time to regret why his brain had sent Li Qiao to the border town. He also didn't have time to regret why he only gave Li Qiao fifty Guards members. He tried his best to steady himself, and his brain quickly thought about who should be sent to support him. .
After thinking for a while, he focused on Qian San.
Unless there is a hidden master among the people, Qian San's combat power must be the best in the world.
Qian San led him and his father's 700 guardsmen and rushed to the border town for 800 miles. They should be able to rescue Li Aiqing...
Chang Wuchang has a clear mind. Even if the city is destroyed, he will definitely send someone to escort Li Aiqing back to Shengjing.
Therefore, there should be hope for Qian San to lead people there.
If another 10,000 forbidden troops are sent over, and the red scarf troops from several nearby prefectures are mobilized, then even if the barbarians rush into Dajing Gate, they can still be stopped.
It only took less than half an hour from the time Sheng Hong received the report to the time Qian San left Shengjing with 700 guards.
Qian San and his party went straight to the border town, but they soon encountered an urgent report from Chang Wuchang eight hundred miles away.
Qian San was not qualified to read the urgent report from Babaili, but he could learn about the general situation of the border town from the postman who delivered the report.
After learning that Li Qiao was safe and that the border town had won a beautiful victory, Qian San took his people back to Shengjing.
However, this time he only stayed in the palace for a quarter of an hour before leading his people out of the city again.
Because Chang Wuchang wrote in the report that he hoped that the Holy Emperor could recall Mr. Li to Beijing. He was afraid that if the barbarians came again, the city over there would not be so lucky.
Li Qiao wandered the distance that took four days to complete, while Qian San and his entourage arrived in one day.
So, on the third day after the war, when Li Qiao was standing in the trench watching the soldiers at work, he heard bursts of rapid horse hooves suddenly appearing in the city.
He suddenly felt a little strange, how could there be such rapid sound of horse hooves in the city?
But the next second, he realized that it was Sheng Hong who had sent the news, and he turned his attention to the trench in front of him.
The Hu people had leveled some trenches this time, and some soldiers were digging new trenches. He was thinking about whether to sprinkle some caltrops in the trenches, and chatted with these soldiers to inquire about the situation in the border town.
In fact, relying on his superb hearing, he has heard many real voices in the past few days, and the facts revealed by these voices are the same as those written in Chang Wuchang's memorial.
But after he received Sheng Hong's mission, he had to take practical actions, otherwise he would not be able to report back to Sheng Hong.
But a minute later, he couldn't help but look at the location of the military camp. Did he hear it correctly?
Why did he hear Manager Qian's voice?
Even if Sheng Hong sends someone to deliver the message, he won't need the money manager?
Chapter 245 Li Qiao returns to Beijing and meets Tao Zhu
Soon, Li Qiao's doubts were solved.
He heard the conversation between Chang Wuchang and Qian San, and Manager Qian came to take him back to Beijing.
…
Is he so important to Sheng Hong?
Not only did they send Qian San, but they also sent 700 guards!
Previously, Sheng Hong sent Zhao Cun to take people to Xishan Province to invite the sixth prince to return to the capital, and gave him fifty more people. Five hundred guards were given to nearly a hundred people at once.
This time, they borrowed people from Sheng Jun again. Now Sheng Jun and Sheng Hong, father and son, only have a hundred guards around them.
For an emperor, even in the palace, this number is really too few.
Since the father and son had guards, this should be the first time that there were so few guards around them.
It would be a lie to say that I am not impressed.
Warmth flowed through his heart, and he pursed his lower lip, trying his best to control his facial features so as not to show any strangeness.
Chang Wuchang caught Qian San and almost jumped up in shock. He knew that Sheng Hong would definitely call Li Qiao back to Shengjing, but he never expected that Sheng Hong would send Manager Qian and 700 guards to escort him. Li Qiao returns to Beijing!
Your Majesty really treats Brother Li as half a son!
He was originally at the warehouse watching the soldiers collect the rolling logs, rocks and other materials used the day before into the warehouse. Now that Qian San came, he couldn't care about it anymore and immediately led Qian San out of the city to find Li Qiao.
On the way out of the city, Qian San was a little confused. Why, was Li Qiao actually outside the city at this time?
A little brave!
Mentioning Li Qiao's boldness, Chang Wuchang really wanted to cry.
What's the point of running outside the city now?
When the barbarians attacked, Brother Li ran to the river to watch the barbarians fall into the water, and stood on the tower to watch the barbarians attack the city at close range. In terms of boldness, let alone a group of civil servants, he was comparable to everyone in Dasheng. Compared with Li Qiao, Li Qiao can still be at the forefront!
Qian San clicked his tongue when he heard this.
Li Qiao was also speechless.
However, he pretended not to know about Qian San's arrival and continued talking to the soldier in front of him.
He really wanted to invite the soldiers to drink and eat meat with Chang Wuchang, so he was talking to a few soldiers about the menu just now.
Seeing that he was so easy-going, these soldiers became bolder. While working, they smiled and talked about the delicious food they wanted to eat.
"Sir, my family is poor, and I have never had a big bowl of meat since I was a child. If you ask me to order, I will want to eat butcher's cabbage, that kind of pork belly with one layer of fat and one layer of lean meat. Elbow, I want to eat it with my stomach open. I didn’t enjoy the vermicelli stew a few days ago.”
"Sir! The little one wants to eat roasted whole lamb! I heard that the Hu people's roasted whole lamb tastes delicious!"
"That's right. I heard that the mutton from the Hu people has no smell and is delicious just dipped in salt. But, sir, hehe, I want to try the dim sum from the Royal Dim Sum Shop. I heard that the dim sum inside is quite soft. It’s also fragrant and sweet.”
"Ever since I heard that there is such a good thing in the world, I have been wondering what it tastes like. Now if you ask me to order whatever I want, I want to try some soft and sweet snacks."
The words of this soldier immediately aroused the echo of several other soldiers. Yes, I heard that the biggest difference between the dim sum of the Royal Dim Sum Shop and the traditional dim sum is that it is soft, especially soft, but it is different from steamed buns.
However, snacks are snacks after all, and they are much less attractive than meat.
After these few soldiers said a few words, they turned the topic to meat.
Except for the soldier who first mentioned the Royal Dessert Shop, the rest all wanted to eat meat. They wanted to satisfy their meat addiction.
Li Qiao listened to their busy discussions and said with a smile: "These are all simple. Just wait, Mr. Chang and I will definitely let you eat these delicacies."
"The little ones are just waiting!"
After receiving his accurate words, the eyes of these soldiers were bright, and they worked with endless energy.
At this time, Li Man, who had been observing the surroundings, suddenly saw Qian San walking in the distance. He was surprised for a moment, and then immediately reminded Li Qiao: "Sir, it seems that there is Manager Qian in front of you."
