Step on a branch

Chapter 289
Ignoring the sixth old master, Princess Pingyang only asked Tang Choi.

"How many soldiers can you transfer to me?"

Tang Cho only wanted to stabilize the aunt first, and said, "One thousand."

The eldest princess stared at him and laughed.

Tang Cho heard the meaning of mockery, and before the eldest princess spoke, he quickly changed his words: "One thousand and five."

Seeing that the eldest princess was still dissatisfied, Master He hurriedly stood up to smooth things over.

"Your Highness," he said, "Qiyang Mansion originally didn't have many soldiers. Before Xiliang invaded Feimen Pass, the imperial court dispatched some from Qiyang for emergency reinforcements.

The remaining troops not only have to guard several cities in the mansion, but now they have to set up checkpoints along the official road.

Qiyang is a big place, with many officials and roads, and the towns and villages below are scattered. If you want to catch the rebels, you have to let the soldiers go down.

As a result, the number of people who can be mobilized is getting smaller and smaller. This thousand and five is already squeezed out by our government. "

Tang Tuo was very satisfied with Master He's explanation: "That's right, it really squeezed out from between the teeth."

"Then you can squeeze." Princess Pingyang said.

"Your Majesty, I'll arrange some soldiers, you..." Tang Tiao stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

Counting troops takes time.

[-] people must be counted together, but it is not something that can be finished with a touch of mouth.

Just in time, let this aunt go to the Yan family's garden to rest for a while, let's not say too much, let's delay it for a day or two.

Hold on, hold on...

Tang Tzu muttered silently in his heart.

Princess Pingyang couldn't see through Tang Cho's thoughts, she followed the gesture and walked out of the lobby, "I'll wait for you at the gate of the city, don't be a jerk."

Tang Cho was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly chased after him: "Your Highness, the eldest princess, how could it be so fast? One thousand and five hundred people..."

The princess didn't stop walking until she left the gate of the mansion.

Looking around, she saw that the guards who escorted her from Gao County were still at the door, and the eldest princess ordered one of them.

"I borrowed the horse," she said.

The eldest princess stretched out her hand, but the man dared not refuse, and offered the reins obediently.

Patting the horse's neck, the eldest princess turned to look at Tang Chou, and said, "How long do you want?"

Tang Cho was still thinking about procrastinating, hesitatingly said: "Look, it's already this hour, and it has to be tomorrow anyway, and besides, the transfer of 500 people is not a small number, the lower officials have to notify the guards, and there must be some time……"

"Stop," the eldest princess interrupted Tang Chou, "You just say that you have to send people to Beijing overnight, and wait for my younger brother to nod before you dare to give me the soldiers."

Tang Cho was embarrassed.

He did have this plan, but it's a pity that the capital is far away, and the eldest princess is very uncooperative.

"One thousand and five hundred people, you have to count for a day, thanks to the fact that you are not a general, otherwise, when you finish counting one hundred thousand troops, Xiliang will be beaten outside the imperial city." Princess Pingyang shook her head, "I don't know how to count." Bing, right? Lead me the way, and I'll teach you how to order!"

Tang Cho's face turned half red and half white.

If he knows how to fight, can he be a magistrate here?
Besides, the eldest princess said "teach", does that mean teach?

That's the meaning of sarcasm!
Tang Cho couldn't hold back his face, so he could only say: "Get down as soon as possible, as soon as possible."

Princess Pingyang didn't say a word, got on the horse, clamped the horse's belly, and said: "Remember, I will wait for you at the gate of the city."

After speaking, the horse raised its hoof and rushed out.

The horse's tail fluttered and swept past Tang Cho. The smell of horses made him sneezed three times in a row.

After finally catching her breath, the Princess Pingyang had run away without a trace.

This time, Tang Cho's face darkened.

"Catch up, catch up," Tang Cho urged the guards from Gao County, "There are people coming and going at the gate of the city, don't let anyone bump into His Highness!"

In my heart, another voice couldn't help shouting: Don't let the eldest princess run away.

It's okay if you can't catch anyone from the beginning to the end, but if you really ran under your nose, how can you explain this to the court?
The sixth old master also came out of the government office. Seeing this, he climbed into the carriage and urged the carriage to catch up with him.

When Tang Cho saw it, he hurriedly grabbed the frame of the carriage, and got into the carriage before the horse ran away.

In the carriage, the two stared at each other.

All kinds of thoughts are turning over and over in my mind.

Did he really run away?

If she intends to run away, what is she doing in Qiyang?
She must have another purpose, so she won't really run away...

Just don't run.

People are under their noses, but they can still say something.

The cooked duck flies before it's finished...

Various thoughts made people's heart burn, and when they rushed to the gate of the city and saw the figure of Princess Pingyang riding a horse, Tang Cho's heart fell down.

Before the carriage stopped, Tang Cho jumped out of the carriage.

Staggering a few steps, he arrived in front of Princess Pingyang, panting: "You are too anxious..."

"No matter how slow you are, it's all over. Where are you going to arrest people?" Princess Pingyang bent down a little, looked down at Tang Chou and said, "You can't even grasp the opportunity to make great achievements?"

Tang Tzu froze.

In his heart, he knew very well that the eldest princess had other plans, but who wouldn't be tempted to make meritorious deeds?

"What did Master He just say?" The eldest princess said slowly, "Qiyang is very big, and there are many towns and villages below, they really don't care about walking for three to five months, and they can really get out of the mountain road and village road.

Do you have so many people, do you spend three to five months searching for a needle in a haystack?

You have worked hard, but they have walked out of Qiyang, can you go to the territory of other state capitals to arrest people?
Whose credit is it?

Really thankless!
Let me lead the troops to arrest, you follow me, even the capital, I can do it. "

Upon hearing this, Tang Tzu took a step back subconsciously.

Be nice.

Really led the troops to stop under the capital, whether the eldest princess is a traitor, he can't say, he will definitely be labeled as a traitor.

"What are your Highness and Tang Zhifu talking about?" The Sixth Old Master came from behind.

The eldest princess straightened up, chuckled softly, her eyes were sharp: "I urge Mr. Tang to hurry up and don't let people run away.

Many checkpoints were set up on the official road, but they refused to follow me out of the city immediately to search.

Could it be that Mr. Tang had no intention of catching the rebels at all, but was just fooling people? "

The sixth old man's face darkened.

Of course he heard it, this is to sow discord, and it is undisguised and confident.

He won't be fooled, but he is panicked.

Tang Chi looked around.

Before the gate of the city, many people saw Princess Pingyang who came from Gao County. It took them a long time to return to the Yamen, and this area has already spread the word.

People are afraid of officials, but they can't resist their curiosity.

Especially the nobles in Beijing, how can I have the chance to meet them on weekdays?
Why don't you take a closer look now?
The eldest princess is not afraid to watch, she even "shows off".

Tang Cho sighed secretly, he was no match for the eldest princess, and the sixth old man was also led by the nose.

"I'm going to order soldiers right now," Tang Cho took a deep breath.

"Go," said the eldest princess, "an hour is plenty."

　Thank you book friends for working hard today, Wah Xiaoyao's reward.
