However, Li Hao believed that Sang Shunhua would always find a way to protect Cheng Zhi's safety. He believed that she would not sit back and watch Cheng Zhi take risks for the sake of her family and country, especially when the situation had not yet reached that point.
After arranging for them to go to Qing County, Li Hao continued to rush to Emperor Wen's camp. This time Li Hao really didn't care about cherishing the horsepower, and didn't even have time to pack and clean the clothes. After all, judging from the current situation, Fan Chang was most likely going to take action, otherwise he wouldn't have to send someone to intercept him halfway. Own.
Let's not talk about the probability of success, but even if Li Hao is really killed, it is impossible to wipe out everyone. When the news is exposed, it will still cause an uproar.
Emperor Wen would definitely be more vigilant by then, and he might stop his journey, or even send in heavy troops. By then, Fan Chang's plan would have completely failed.
Only this time, because of Li Hao's request to Emperor Wen to slow down his journey, Emperor Wen's current camp was still thirty miles away from Qing County. Li Hao rode over quickly, and it took him a while.
When Li Hao arrived, he was quickly summoned in by Emperor Wen shortly after handing in the notice requesting to see Emperor Wen. It seemed that Emperor Wen had been keeping an eye on this matter.
After seeing Li Hao, Emperor Wen immediately noticed the blood-stained clothes on Li Hao's body, his face changed drastically, and he immediately asked: "Why did you come back like this? Has Fan Chang already taken action? And Where is Zicheng now? Why didn't he come back with you?" After hearing this, Li Hao replied: "Reporting to your majesty, Fan Chang has probably started to besiege Hua County, but I have already left and rushed to the camp. So I don’t know the specific situation. However, I was intercepted and killed by Fan Chang’s troops on the way back. Fortunately, the soldiers used their lives to defeat the rebels, and captured a few prisoners back. After interrogation, they were confirmed to be under Fan Chang’s command. Come to think of it. Fan Chang dared to do this because he was already ready to attack Hua County. However, General Ling and his troops were near Hua County. It was expected that even if Fan Chang took action, it would not be so easy to capture Hua County. We just need to send reinforcements as soon as possible to avoid sending troops to harm the people after Fan Chang's defeat." Upon hearing this, Emperor Wen immediately became anxious and said, "How could Zicheng be in charge of Hua County? You are not responsible for these things. It was handled, why did you come back by yourself?" Li Hao was stunned when he heard this. Originally, Li Hao thought that Emperor Wen might be hesitant, so he brought the prisoners over and prepared to let Emperor Wen personally interrogate him.
As a result, Emperor Wen immediately acquiesced to the matter as soon as he heard that Ling Buyi might be in danger. Although it saved Li Hao a lot of effort, it really made the close relationship more obvious.
But no matter how much he complained in his heart, Li Hao could only reply: "Because I have always been in the open, Fan Chang's spies may have been watching around me, otherwise this interception would not have been successful. And General Ling was in the dark. , Fan Chang didn’t know that General Ling had arrived, so I returned to attract Fan Chang’s attention, and then General Ling commanded the troops secretly. In this way, Fan Chang could suddenly launch an offensive without being prepared, so that he could defeat Fan Chang in one fell swoop. To prevent the situation from getting bigger. But your Majesty, you can rest assured. Now I have mobilized three thousand troops around Hua County. With the talents of General Ling, no matter how powerful Fan Chang is, he will not be able to hurt him." What Li Hao said, although It's somewhat circumstantial and exaggerates Ling Buyi's safety, but the general idea is actually fine.
Anyway, Li Hao is still confident in Ling Buyi's safety. After all, he is the protagonist. Although there is a time traveler like himself, he still has the aura of the protagonist. Otherwise, how could he have such bug-like abilities? It took several years of practice.
But Emperor Wen didn't think so. Although he also felt that what Li Hao said might have some truth, as his beloved elder son, Emperor Wen couldn't rest assured as long as he might be in even the slightest danger.
Dang Ji said: "Since Fan Chang has plotted rebellion, I order you to immediately lead the Yue Cavalry School Lieutenants and Black Armored Guards to set off immediately and rush to Hua County to support Zicheng. You must ensure Zicheng's safety. I will do the same in the future Lead the camp to advance and ask General Wu to integrate the county troops to support you." Well, although Li Hao did want to rush to support as soon as possible, but for Emperor Wen's attitude of not giving anyone a break, Li Hao Hao was still speechless for a while. After all, Li Hao really felt a little tired after traveling all the way.
Fortunately, Li Hao thought that mobilizing troops and horses would take some time, so he could always take some time to slow down.
But before Li Hao could rejoice for a while, he heard Emperor Wen continue to say: "With the Yueqi School Lieutenants and Black Armored Guards, I had already said hello to them after Zicheng left and asked them to prepare in advance. You are now Hurry over and take them out as soon as possible, don't waste time." Li Hao was completely heartbroken at this moment, but facing Emperor Wen's eyes staring straight at him, Li Hao couldn't disobey him.
He could only reply with a tired heart: "I understand, I will go find them now and set off immediately." Emperor Wen was quite satisfied with Li Hao's attitude, but he might also feel that Li Hao's running back and forth was indeed a bit awkward. After working hard, he comforted Li Hao a little and drew the cake: "It's really hard for you to travel back and forth this time, but you know the things in Hua County best. I don't feel comfortable letting others go at this time. It just so happened that this time Fan Chang wanted to It means that you knew in advance that it is just right for you to handle the matter now. After this chaos is settled, I will definitely give you a reward." Although the cake painted by Emperor Wen looked delicious, Li Hao did not dare to eat it in one bite After all, with Emperor Wen's partiality, the reward he could get would never be on Ling Buyi's head, so it would be better to give him a foreshadowing in advance and make him appear sensible.
Dang even said: "Your Majesty, what you said is an exaggeration. It is said that I was able to find out the matter this time based on the facts verified by General Ling. I dare not take the credit alone." Sure enough, after listening to Li Hao's words , Emperor Wen was even happier. Although he still told Li Hao to leave quickly, his face was obviously much better.
Li Hao received the imperial edict from Emperor Wen to lead the troops on an expedition. After leaving the camp, he asked his servants to go out and bring the troops he had brought back to the camp.
And he was led by another chamberlain to the headquarters of the Yueqi School Lieutenant and the Black Armored Guards.
It was at this time that Li Hao discovered that Yuan Shen was standing not far away. It seemed that he had heard that he was back and came over to ask something.
After leaving Emperor Wen's camp, Yuan Shen stepped forward. At this time, Li Hao took out a gold ingot from his sleeve and stuffed it into the hand of the chamberlain who was leading the way.
Naturally, the chamberlain was also an understanding person. Seeing this scene, he understood that the two brothers probably had something to say, so he stepped a few steps faster to give Li Hao some distance to speak.
Anyway, the person responsible is to take people there. As long as it doesn't waste time, there is no need to be so harsh on other matters.
Of course, even if the money is not given, the chamberlain will not stop Yuan Shen from coming forward to talk to Li Hao. After all, the prestige of the Yuan family is there, and Li Hao is not a sinner who has committed a serious crime. He has the brains to be a chamberlain in the palace. None of them are stupid, it's just more or less convenient.
Yuan Shen was not surprised by this scene. After stepping forward, he asked: "You just returned to the camp, why do you think you are going out again now? Is there something wrong in Shu?" After Li Hao looked around, He said softly: "Fan Chang intends to rebel and attack Hua County. Now Ling Zicheng and his people are ambushing there. I came back to ask for reinforcements from your majesty. Now that they are here, naturally I have to rush back immediately." But while speaking, Li Hao He didn't stop, but talked as he walked, and Yuan Shen naturally followed.
When Yuan Shen heard Li Hao's words, his eyes shrank slightly and he quickly asked: "Is this true? Why didn't I hear the news in the camp?" Li Hao replied: "Of course it is true. This is true. I personally investigated it, and I think your majesty will announce it to the public soon." Seeing that Li Hao was so sure, Yuan Shen no longer doubted it, but then he suddenly remembered that the place where Cheng Zhi was going to take office was not Hua County. ?
No wonder it sounded so familiar just now. He immediately stopped involuntarily and asked quickly: "How is the situation in Hua County now? Do you know whether Mr. Shao Shang has been to Hua County?" Seeing Yuan Shen's behavior, Li Hao had to stop for a while. Replied: "Don't worry, when I rushed back to the camp, I met Cheng Shaoshang and others on the road. At that time, they were unlucky and happened to encounter the soldiers and horses sent by Fan Chang. But later those people were taken by me They were killed and dispersed, and now they have gone to Qingxian under the protection of the army. They will not be in danger." Yuan Shen was slightly relieved, but still asked: "Then why didn't you escort them all the way, in case something happened? What will they do if they encounter rebels again?" Li Hao replied: "Don't worry, I have asked the prisoners, and there are no organized rebels around except them. If they are just some stragglers, Those units can handle it. And I have to come back quickly to ask for help. There is no time to waste escorting people. Okay, I have to take people out now. Anyway, don’t worry blindly. Stay at the camp with peace of mind. Look, nothing will happen to Mr. Cheng." After saying that, he said goodbye to Yuan Shen, followed the footsteps of the chamberlain, and rushed to take over the Yueqi School Lieutenant Department and the Black Armored Guards.
With Emperor Wen's decree and the fact that they were going to support the general Ling Buyi, the Yueqi School Weibu and the Black Armored Guards were still very active.
After joining the Tunqi, everyone quickly left the camp and rushed towards Huaxian County. Of course, before this, several prisoners brought back by Li Hao had been handed over to the chamberlains so that Emperor Wen could find them when he wanted to ask questions.
While Li Hao was on his way, on the other side, Cheng Zhi had already learned about the possible trouble in Hua County from the returning Sang Shunhua.
Immediately he couldn't sit still, and hurriedly said that he would get up and rush to Hua County. Of course, he did not want Sang Shunhua and Cheng Shaoshang to be in danger, so he wanted to leave them in Qing County.
Faced with this scene, Sang Shunhua immediately stopped him and said: "What's the use of going alone? Can't you rescue Hua County by yourself? Now you can only go to Senior Brother Gongsun and explain to him If you ask him to send reinforcements, you can really rescue Hua County. And you also have to believe in General Ling and General Yuan. When it comes to the ability to fight on the battlefield, you and Senior Brother Gongsun may not be able to deal with one of them if they are tied together. They Since we have already made arrangements, we hope that nothing big will happen when we come to Hua County, so we need to be more careful. If their plan is ruined, it will be a disaster." Regarding this senior brother Gongsun, he was also born in Bailu Mountain Academy. When Cheng Zhi went up the mountain, the Cheng family had not yet made a fortune.
Cheng Zhi was just a country boy at that time, and he really didn't know anything except a few words. However, this fellow Gongsun, who came from a famous family, did not dislike him. friend.
As for why Senior Brother Gongsun was so willing to help, according to Sang Shunhua, it was because Senior Brother Gongsun saw that Cheng Zhi was both beautiful and stupid, and couldn't bear to be surprised, so he took care of him more.
This also proves that good looks are really an advantage these days, after all, beauty control is everywhere. Therefore, Cheng Zhi still had great faith in Senior Brother Gongsun, so after listening to Sang Shunhua's words, he immediately said: "Okay, then I will go to Senior Brother Gongsun and ask him to send troops." Seeing that Cheng Zhi did not say anything more. Sang Shunhua immediately felt relieved because he insisted on going his own way, but he still followed Cheng Zhi. He said he was helping to come up with ideas, but in fact he was worried that Cheng Zhi would do something stupid.
As for Cheng Shaoshang, she was naturally kept in the hospital. Even because she was worried that she would run away, Sang Shunhua specifically asked the military maid to take personal care of her.
As for Senior Brother Gongsun, after learning about these situations, he also frowned. He said that Huahua County and Qingxian County were adjacent to each other. Regarding the situation in Hua County, he felt that something was wrong, so he gathered people from outside the city in advance. Hands, close the city gate to strictly guard the city.
But he didn't expect that the matter would be so serious, that it would be Fan Chang, the head of the county, who would stir up rebellion.
After thinking for a while, Senior Brother Gongsun said: "I can't send troops out of the city at this time. Although I believe what General Yuan said, no one can guarantee whether the rebels will change their minds and attack the county. What if we wait for the Qing Dynasty? After the county troops leave the city, it will be really bad if the rebels attack. The empty city will not be able to stop the rebels' offensive. I think so, I will send people to Hua County to investigate the situation first. If the rebels are confirmed The main force of the army is over there, I will send troops to rescue immediately." Cheng Zhi couldn't refute what Senior Brother Gongsun said, after all, everything was just empty talk now, and no one knew the situation in Hua County.
As the magistrate of Qing County, Senior Brother Gongsun naturally puts the safety of Qing County first, and no one can criticize this.
So Cheng Zhi suggested: "Let's do this. I will go to Hua County with the people sent by my senior brother to check the situation." Hearing this, Sang Shunhua's face turned ugly, and senior brother Gongsun also persuaded him: "No If necessary, I still have special scouts available here. They check the situation and report the news very quickly. If you go with them, it will only delay their time. Just wait with me in Qing County. If it is Hua Something is really going to happen in the county, and you just need to lead the troops with me to go to the rescue."
