He heard Yang Tinglin shouting sternly: "Be brave, I have an urgent military situation. It is very urgent. I must meet with the director immediately. If there is delay, you, a mere captain, will not be able to chop off ten heads!"
At this moment, his confidence as a civil servant as a scholar was immediately revealed. It's like a tiger with its fangs and claws, ready to pounce at any time.
When the captain saw him, his straight back immediately bent subconsciously. By the time of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention that he was just a captain on duty, but he was also a commander-in-chief guarding one side, and he would not dare to trust him in front of civilian officials.
"My lord, it's not that the general will not report his death, but he has been ordered by his superiors not to disturb anything!" the captain responded quickly with a smile on his face.
After Yang Tinglin heard this, how could he give up? He immediately shouted angrily: "If you don't report the urgent military situation, believe it or not, if we turn around and investigate, you will be the scapegoat! It will be easy to kill you!"
Upon hearing this, the captain on duty couldn't bear it anymore. Because he knew that if there were serious consequences, the director might really throw him out and use him as a scapegoat, saying that he had made the decision without authorization and blocked the adult. The director himself did not know!
At this moment, he hesitated. Because he did hear the director's instructions with his own ears. All news about Shilang Lu, including Yang Tinglin's, was blocked and not to bother him. If he disobeys the order and passes the message, he will probably also anger the director. But if you don't pass it on, then as this civil servant said, your life may be in danger!
what to do?
Seeing that he was still hesitating, Yang Tinglin became anxious and immediately shouted angrily: "Hurry up and pass the message!"
The captain was startled by his loud and angry shouting. In his desperation, he did not dare to hesitate any longer and hurriedly ran inside to make the announcement.
Seeing his back disappearing behind the screen wall, and listening to the rapid footsteps disappearing, Yang Tinglin finally took a breath and suddenly felt a little pain in his forehead. He reached out and touched blood. It was only then that he realized that he had been injured when he fell off the horse just now.
He didn't care about this. He straightened his official hat and clothes, and thought about how to persuade Gao Qiqian when he met him later.
After a while, the captain was not seen returning. Yang Tinglin became irritated, remembering that Lu Shilang was surrounded by the Manchu army at this time, and there was always the danger of the entire army being annihilated. Any delay would be a danger!
Thinking of this, Yang Tinglin ignored it and immediately stepped inside.
The soldiers at the door saw him and hurriedly stopped him. Yang Tinglin didn't care at all, and continued to rush inside, while shouting angrily: "Who dares to stop the urgent military situation? If you can, kill me, otherwise I will get out of the way!"
His two servants saw him and quickly followed him, protecting him as he walked inside.
The soldiers at the door and the soldiers who came out after hearing the sound did not dare to stop the civil servant. They were afraid of being blamed by their superiors, so they pretended to be forced to retreat inside by Yang Tinglin.
Of course, some people saw this situation and hurriedly reported inside.
"What, that guy forced his way in?" In the lobby of the back office, Gao Qiang, who was drinking a cup of wine, couldn't help but stood up a little surprised and shouted, "What are you doing, you didn't stop me?"
While speaking, he turned to look at the man kneeling on one side. This person was the captain on duty at the door. When he came in to report, he was left standing there to dry himself. In fact, he was also drying Yang Tinglin at the door. But he didn't expect that Yang Tinglin would break in without getting a reply.
While Gao Qiqian was talking, he faintly heard noise coming from him.
With a frown on his face, he immediately ordered: "Useless trash, if you dare to let a powerless civil servant break into our house again, we will take your head!"
Hearing this, the soldiers who came to report were frightened, and immediately turned around, preparing to stop Yang Tinglin.
But at this moment, Gao Qiqian's voice rang again: "Tell that Yang Tinglin, we are the military commander of the world, coordinating the entire war situation, working day and night, and just fell asleep. Now that it's freezing cold and it's night again, The army can’t be mobilized either. If you have something to report, we’ll talk about it tomorrow morning!”
The reason actually hasn't changed. Anyway, he just doesn't want to see Yang Tinglin. But no matter what, at least there is a reason!
After the soldiers received the order and retreated, one of Gao Qiqian's staff said to him, who was drinking again, a little worriedly: "My boss, seeing that he is so anxious, I'm afraid it's an urgent matter, maybe it's Minister Lu..."
Before he could finish speaking, Gao Qiqian said disdainfully: "Yes, it must be so, but this is Lu Xiangsheng's own death wish, so let him seek death!"
As Gao Qiqian's staff, he knew some of the situation. Hearing this, he sighed in his heart and stopped talking.
Outside, Yang Tinglin was blocked this time and could not move forward. He was furious and wanted to force his way in. In the end, even he and the two servants were held up by the director's personal guards and dragged out.
"Shilang Lu is in danger. If you don't send troops to rescue, I will definitely go to court to impeach you..." Yang Tinglin struggled and shouted desperately, "Get up and stay low, and you will harm the country and eunuch..."
He knew very well that Lu Xiangsheng's five thousand exhausted troops would not last long. With Gao Qiqian's attitude, if he wanted him to send troops, let alone waiting for dawn, even if he waited for three more days, he might not be able to send troops!
Mr. Lu is in danger!
Thinking that Shilang Lu had found a reason to get him out of danger and showed his love for him, but he was helpless, Yang Tinglin couldn't help but burst into tears, his eyes were about to burst, and his curses became louder.
At this moment, there was sudden movement at the door. The soldiers dragging Yang Tinglin couldn't help but stop and turned to look.
I saw a group of guards in royal robes swarming in, and someone among them shouted loudly: "The imperial edict has arrived!"
The angel from the court has arrived!
After reaching this conclusion, everyone did not dare to neglect, and those who went to report Gao Qiqian hurriedly went to report Gao Qiqian, and those who went to greet the angel hurriedly went to greet the angel. Those who summoned various generals also went to summon various generals. All of a sudden, everyone became busy.
Everyone was a little surprised by the angel's arrival. But they can probably guess that the emperor of the capital has some new plans for the war, right?
The last imperial edict was to promote and demote Lu Xiang, the Minister of the Ministry of War and the leader of the world's troops, to the rank of Minister of the Ministry of War. What will be the decree this time? Could it be that seeing that the war was not going well, he still wanted to deal with Lu Xiangsheng, the nominal commander of the world's soldiers and horses?
Yang Tinglin was very worried about this. But when he thought that Minister Lu was now in danger, he couldn't help but get angry. Maybe it was the surrender faction Yang Sichang who was deceiving the emperor and wanted to kill Lu Xiangsheng?
Not only did he think so, but Gao Qiqian also thought so. While he asked people to prepare the incense table, he sneered and ordered his men: "Let Yang Tinglin listen to the order together, so that he can give up his mind!"
