Shu Blossoms

Chapter 487
Zheng Wei spent a few days at home with the eldest princess in a safe and stable boudoir life. Early in the morning, he helped A Niang to walk around the backyard twice, and then went to eat breakfast with his grandfather and grandmother. Going to the study room, now that my grandfather is getting old and has poor eyesight, and it is difficult to study on weekdays, seeing her today, he suddenly had an idea, "You girl is busier than your father on weekdays, so I finally grabbed you once, Come read to grandpa!"

Zheng smiled and took the book, and said, "It's been a few days since I read a book in peace, so I just take advantage of my grandfather's light to meditate!"

The two spent half the morning in the study, Ah Luo came in with a few plates of pastries, and said with a smile: "The old master, the princess, the lady asked the servants to bring these pastries and soup to the old master and the princess. Soothe your throat and cushion your stomach.".
"Come on, there's something delicious!" Zheng Wei put down the book, beckoning and looking into the tray with great interest.

"The eldest princess ate the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and mung bean cake made by the kitchen today, which were very refreshing. She asked Cuixi to send some to the old lady, and specially left some for the servants to bring over."

Zheng Wei first gave a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake to her grandfather, and then began to eat it herself, the soft and fragrant taste made her close her eyes in satisfaction.

Seeing her delicious food, Zheng Shao was relieved, and suddenly sighed: "It would be great if your elder brother was at home, our family hasn't had a full dinner for a long time."

Maybe Zheng Wei hadn't seen Zheng Heng for a long time, so he asked his grandfather, "Brother, are they still in South Vietnam? Didn't say when they can come back and have a look?"

"When I first found out that your mother was happy, your father entrusted Zheng Guanshi of the Yue's caravan to bring a letter. According to what Zheng Zheng said before he left, the caravan will be back in the past few days. You can stay at home a little longer. I will receive news from my brother in the next day."

Zheng Wei was very happy when he heard that, "Will brother bring me back some fun things from Nanyue, and I don't know if brother has become black and strong after staying in South Vietnam for so long."

"By the way, didn't the Yue's caravan only go on the route of Dawei? Why did they go to Nanyue?"

Zheng Wei asked casually.

Zheng Shao didn't care about these things, and shook his head after hearing her words: "This grandfather doesn't know, probably South Vietnam is rich in medicinal materials, which are very scarce in the north."

Zheng Wei nodded, thinking in her heart that this time she had an excuse to delay replying to Zhoushan for a few days.

The brothers Zheng Heng and Hao Zesong, whom the two were thinking about, left South Vietnam with an army ten days ago and hurried north.

When setting up camp that day, Hao Zesong walked up to Zheng Heng and sat down, looking at him hesitantly.

Zheng Heng stretched his body vigorously, and said with a sigh of relief: "If you want to ask anything, just ask, it's not like your nature to hesitate."

Hao Zesong shook his head and smiled when he heard the words, "I'm just a little surprised. Last month, General Sun sent us a letter asking us to leave South Vietnam and go back to Beijing at the end of the month. Why did we suddenly change our itinerary, and we went to Hongdu, which is not far from Jiujiang? Did something happen to Jiankang?"

After hearing his question, Zheng Heng was amazed at his sharpness, but kept his face calm, and asked him: "Why do you think something happened to Jiankang? We are going to Hongdu, it seems more like something happened to Jiujiang, right?" !"

Hao Zesong smiled and said, "Don't test me. If something happens to Jiujiang and General Han turns against him, let alone our people, even the tens of thousands of troops under General Sun will not be the opponent of Jiujiang's army. Your Majesty is not willing to take such a How many troops to feed General Han. What's more, you are still in the army!"

"You, you are more thoughtful than others, no wonder you always find out first when there is trouble in the clouds! It's also fortunate that you and I are brothers, I really can't hide it from you at all!"

Zheng Heng said and moved to the side, as if to stay away from him.

The two joked a few words, and Zheng Heng also showed a heavy expression, "You also know that in the past, the letters at home were sent by my father when he sent documents to South Vietnam, but this time they were entrusted by the caravan. It was sent by Guanshi Zheng. Although Guanshi Zheng in the caravan is from the Zheng family, I can bring some extra money. But I always feel that something is wrong. I read the letter back and forth no less than five times. It was written by my father. Although it was obscure, it still made me discover the anomaly."

Hao Zesong sat up straight, looked at him with burning eyes, and saw Zheng Heng's mouth quivering up and down a few times, and spit out a sentence, "Father said in the letter, Majesty sent my sister to Fuzhou Mountain in anger, and pretended to be sick to scare Your Majesty. Your Majesty Actually going out to visit the palace, that night was really too thrilling, every time I think about it, I shudder."

Hao Zesong was thoughtful when he heard the words, "Although Uncle Zheng is a scholar, he used to have a calm and calm temperament. It must not be a trivial matter that can make him so frightened!"

Zheng Heng nodded, "In those days, I personally went to Xiuli Village, which is the closest to Nanyue, and I specially asked them to be in charge of things in Beijing. Later, I found out that there was an assassination on His Majesty's palace that night, and there were two assassinations in one night. , one of them actually used a military crossbow!"

Hao Zesong looked shocked, "Who is so capable, can drop and use a military crossbow, and the target of the assassination is still..."

After the shock, there was a short silence. He thought of many possibilities, but no matter what, whoever is behind the scenes is enough to shake the whole world!

"Now we are rushing to Hongdu, except for the necessary rest, we are going all the time, will it have something to do with this?"

Hao Zesong asked in a deep voice, Zheng Heng did not answer, but threw out another message, "Han Shidi is dead! I heard he was burned to death in the water and clouds!"

After a long silence, Hao Zesong recovered his voice, stared at Zheng Heng and asked, "What should we do if the matter has reached an irreparable situation?"

After all, they were under Han Daoyuan's command back then, even though they were the most inconspicuous pawns, at that time Han Daoyuan was the God of War in their hearts, they were in awe and worship!
Later, they had been taught by Han Shidi in the past few years in the Martial Arts Academy. That gentle and jade-like little gentleman was unparalleled in wisdom and tricks, which made people admire. Sometimes they felt that compared with General Han, Han Shidi would definitely be better than Lan in the future. .

Hearing of the passing of Mr. Xiao Han, it is inevitable that I feel sorry and disappointed.

Zheng Heng understood Hao Zesong's words, he was asking, what should they do if General Han really stood on the opposite side of the emperor?
He couldn't help thinking about this question when he heard about the news from the capital again. At that time, he didn't hesitate for a long time before making a decision, "You and I are fighters of the Great Zhou, so naturally the safety of the Great Zhou must be taken as the top priority." Heavy."

With just one sentence from him, Hao Zesong understood his attitude, and without saying anything else, he patted Zheng Heng on the shoulder and left.

The army marched for another seven or eight days, and finally arrived outside the city of Hongdu, which is not far from Jiujiang. They dared not enter the city because of their numbers, so they found a hidden mountain forest to station.

The order Zheng Heng received was to wait here to join Sun Xicheng's army. According to the day, Sun Xicheng should have arrived long ago, but Zheng Heng sent Ma Xingyun to lead people to search around for a long time, but there was no trace of them.

The Jiujiang army was ahead, and they didn't dare to move. Zheng Heng had no choice but to discuss with Hao Zesong, leaving Zhang Dazhang Er and the others to guard the army. The two of them led people into the city in disguise to find news.
