"Finally back!" Xu Youzhi looked at the border fortress ahead with emotion on his face.
He was terrified on the way back. He was worried all the time that the people from the Tiger Flag would catch up and kill them and silence them. Even when he slept, he turned a blind eye.
Baihu, the Jin Yiwei guard on the side, said: "Sir, you can rest assured. No matter how brave you are, you won't dare to take action in Xuanfu. However, it is best not to stay in Xuanfu for a long time. The Tiger Flag is still in Xuanfu area." You are quite powerful, so you should return to Beijing as soon as possible."
There was a man-eating tiger like Tiger Flag lurking in the Xuanfu area of Datong, which made him unwilling to stay here for a moment.
"Don't worry, Sir, General Zhang is in charge of Xuan Mansion, and the people of the Tiger Flag don't dare to mess around." The boss who came back from Qingcheng together comforted Xu Youzhi.
He knew it in his heart.
If Tiger Character Banner really wanted to kill people and silence them, there was no way they could escape back to Xuan Mansion. They would have been turned into corpses and dumped on the deserted grassland.
"Let's go, stay here for the night, and continue on our way tomorrow." Xu Youzhi urged his horse and walked towards the frontier fort first.
The others followed on horseback.
On the way back from Qingcheng, in order not to be overtaken by the people of the Tiger Flag, the horses were already on the road. The horses were already exhausted and almost useless. Fortunately, they arrived near a border fort in Xuanfu and no longer needed. In a hurry, everyone let the horses trot forward.
The defender of the border fort was a guerrilla general.
Although Xu Youzhi was only a Yuanwailang from the fifth rank, he was a civil servant and an imperial envoy from the capital. The guard of the border fort carefully served him, and he was not relieved until he was sent away the next day.
There were not many horses in the border fort, but they still changed horses for their group and prepared a carriage.
The carriage was naturally prepared for the imperial envoy Xu Youzhi. Although the other people's buttocks were almost worn out, they could only endure the pain and ride along with them.
"Sir, should we go back to the capital directly or go to Xuanfu?"
The group of people came to a fork in the road, and Jin Yiwei Baihu came to the carriage and asked Xu Youzhi who was sitting in the carriage.
"Go back to Beijing!" Xu Youzhi's voice came from the carriage.
The Jinyiwei Baihu beside the car window hesitated for a moment, and then said: "General Wang of the Xuan Mansion sent a team to escort you to Qingcheng. If you want to return to Beijing, it would not be good if the team stayed overnight." Keep following."
"Hmph, there is a traitor like Tiger Flag in Xuanfu. If I don't believe him, Wang Bao doesn't know anything about it. When I return to the capital, I will definitely join him." Xu Youzhi said coldly.
In his eyes, all Datong and Xuanfu officials who concealed the Tiger Character Banner should be imprisoned.
The Jinyiwei Hundred Households saw that Xu Youzhi did not want to stay in Xuanfu for a moment, so they said to the others: "Let's go to the capital."
The team headed towards the road to the capital.
At this time, the chief of the team rode up and said to the Jinyiwei Baihu: "You didn't mean to go to Xuanfu, why did you go to the capital instead?"
"It's your wish to go to the capital." Jin Yiwei Baihu replied to him.
Hearing this, the general manager rode up to the carriage and said to Xu Youzhi in the car: "Sir, I have to rush back to recover my life, so I won't accompany you to the capital."
"Yeah!" Xu Youzhi in the carriage said lightly.
The general pulled the reins, turned around and said to the rest of the team, "Everyone, follow me back to Xuan Mansion to return to your life."
After saying that, he turned his horse's head, separated from the team, and went to the road leading to Xuanfu.
Ye Bushou in the team left the team one after another, followed the commander, and sped away towards Xuan Mansion.
As soon as the people left, the carriage team was reduced by nearly half.
Jinyiwei Baihu said a few words to the Jinyiwei who were riding in front, and then he rode back to the carriage.
"My lord, all the people sent by the Xuanfu have gone away. Do you think you should inform the nearby government and ask them to send some officials to escort you back to the capital?"
"The local officials don't believe it. Keep going and wait until you leave the boundaries of Xuanfu." Xu Youzhi said in the carriage.
Jinyiwei Baihu didn't say anything and rode to the front of the team.
Those who left had no choice but to buy new horses. Under the leadership of the general, they galloped all the way back to Xuanfu.
"Dong Weng, the people you sent to escort Mr. Xu are back." Chen Gong, an aide, learned that the people who went to Qingcheng were back and hurriedly came to report to Wang Bao.
Wang Bao frowned slightly and said, "You shouldn't have come back so soon! Could something have happened?"
"He did come back a little early, otherwise the students would have asked him what was going on." Chen Gong said.
Wang Bao waved his hand and said, "You don't need to ask. Bring the person here and I will ask him personally."
Chen Gong bowed, retreated to the door of the house, said something to the people waiting at the door, and then returned to the house.
Not long after, the servants of the General Military Mansion came in with a military attaché who looked like he was tired of work.
"Young Zhou Hu, please see the Commander-in-Chief." The military attache knelt down on one knee and raised his fist towards Wang Bao, who was sitting in the upper seat.
Wang Baobao grabbed the bowl on the table and asked, "Did the trip to Qingcheng go smoothly?"
"As far as I'm concerned, Commander-in-Chief, everything went smoothly," said the military attaché named Zhou Hu.
Wang Bao picked up the bowl and blew it to his mouth, then continued to ask: "Where is Mr. Xu from the capital? Did he come back with you? Or he went to the governor's office."
"Master Xu has returned to the capital." Zhou Hu said.
Snapped!
Wang Bao put the tureen in his hand on the table at hand, frowned and said, "Why did you return to the capital? Are you sure? If you dare to deceive me, you should know what the consequences will be."
"I don't dare." Zhou Hu lowered his head, "Master Xu has really returned to the capital, and the imperial guards have also left with him."
Chen Gong, who was standing next to him, said at this time: "Dong Weng, something is wrong. An official from the capital has finally left the capital. How come he is willing to return to the capital so quickly?"
Imperial envoys from the capital have to return to the capital with a full load every time. But this time, imperial envoy Xu was in such a hurry to return to the capital, which was very abnormal in his eyes.
"Still telling the truth!" Wang Bao raised his hand and slapped the table, glaring at Zhou Hu who was kneeling in front of him.
Zhou Hu trembled and stammered: "Xiao, Xiao really didn't lie. Master Xu really returned to the capital, otherwise Xiao would not dare to come back."
Wang Bao's face sank.
Chen Gong, who was standing next to him, looked at Zhou Hu, then turned to Wang Bao and said, "Dong Weng, the student doesn't think Zhou Hu is lying. That Imperial Envoy Xu may have really returned to Beijing."
"Really, really." Zhou Hu nodded repeatedly, "I would never dare to lie, but Master Xu's rush to return to the capital must have something to do with the Tiger Flag."
As he said this, he secretly glanced at Wang Bao.
