So I play chess

Chapter 187 The Messenger
However, as soon as they entered the city, the "omnipotent" Zheng family caught up again. This time, they didn't want to talk to them, but saw that they had no mounts, so they called people to lead them together. A dozen horses came.

He also said that there is no need to send it specially, and he will pick it up later at the meeting.

What this person is doing now is probably because he is worried that these "favors", no matter how big or small, will only reach them, but not the ears of the prefect's aunt, so he added some more.

After tossing and tossing for a long time, the few people were indeed exhausted. It is always good to have a horse to ride, so they didn't refuse, thanked them, and then walked away.

When they arrived, they did not lose their homes, handed over the horse to the guard boy, and explained the origin.The janitor was used to these things, so he knew how to deal with them, so Tang Mingyi didn't need to say any more.

Afterwards, several people stepped into the courtyard, but happened to pass by a man dressed as a general of the Tongcheng Army whom they had never seen before. After asking the servants, they found out that this was General Zhao, the current commander of the Tongcheng Army.

Tang Mingyi originally thought that Mrs. Liu was still asleep at this time, but he didn't want to get up so early to do things.The First Army Dutong came to visit in person, further supporting the guess that Tongcheng is in charge of Mrs. Liu.Tang Mingyi went straight to Wen Gu's courtyard, but was stopped by a servant at the door.

"Miss is not convenient right now?" Tang Mingyi was not annoyed, but asked politely as a guest.

"Miss said that Mr. Tang has worked hard all the way, so he can go back to the courtyard to rest first, and then come and have dinner together when the Jin inspection arrives." The young man replied politely.

Tang Mingyi knew in his heart that Mrs. Liu probably didn't know the situation at this time, and she just showed such an attitude because she didn't want her subordinates to come first to fight for merit.So there was no intention of leaving, and he replied: "Please tell Miss, this trip is not going well. The inspector Jin is still dealing with some troublesome matters outside the city. I will report the situation first. It is quite urgent, so I don't want to delay it." .”

Hearing this, the young servant said "Mr. Tang wait a moment", and then went straight back to report the situation to Wen Gu.

In fact, whether Tang Mingyi's guess was right or wrong, Wen Gu's attitude was indeed to show his attitude of not letting his subordinates compete for merit, but it was not for the purpose of worrying, but only for Tang Mingyi to see.

But she was not idle that night.

Lao Zhao waited for a long time at the place where the southern border of Tongcheng meets Dingyi County, but he didn't even hear from half of Lianzhou.

Until the two messengers were finally ushered in last night, they escorted them back quickly. The timing was roughly that Tang Mingyi and the others had just left the city in the north, and Lao Zhao and the others entered through the south gate.

After asking, I found out that these two people did not have any serious official positions. If they had to talk about it, they were just close friends of the right minister Feng Xian'er.

But since he is from Lianzhou and is a member of the right minister, he cannot be neglected in any way.Naturally, it was not easy for Wen Gu to come forward to receive him, so Liu Zhuo took over the situation. They were supposed to be allowed to rest for two days, but the two of them refused to do anything. The mission is to return to the capital immediately.

There is nothing special about the words, just saying that there are many and complicated affairs in the court now, the court already knows about the deeds of Taishou Liu in Tongcheng, the right minister remembers the achievements of Taishou Liu, and when the overall situation stabilizes, he will definitely send someone to reward him.

These words sound good and are useless in practice, but there is nothing to do now, the Southern Chu court is still standing, and the most important words are nothing more than the right prime minister and the left prime minister, but Feng Xianer is also good at Song Forget it, from a rule point of view, it is not allowed to directly make any official comments on the praise and criticism of a prefect of a county.

In principle, it is necessary to ask the Emperor of Southern Chu to make an order in person, or Lord Ling Guang to come forward.

The Right Prime Minister sent someone here privately, obviously with the intention of wooing, but after all, she can't make a big show of it. Even if someone finds out and uses this matter to find out some ways in the future, she can still say that the situation is special, and she will come forward to appease the hero , The judgment of the awards is also left to the court.

Although it does not conform to the official rules, it is not a particularly serious mistake. Besides, it is good to sell yourself with the benefits of the court. This kind of thing, many people from top to bottom in the Southern Chu Dynasty have done this in private .Unless there is some change in the position of the right minister, which gives people a chance to make trouble, otherwise this matter is not a serious issue.

Liu Zhu naturally understood this too, so he thanked the two messengers from the sage to Lord Lingguang, from the right minister to the two messengers, and then he did not force them to stay, changed horses, prepared dry food and wine, and He added ten taels of silver to each of them, and asked another commander to lead the troops to personally escort them to Dingyi County.

From entering the city to leaving the city, the two stayed for less than two hours.Wen Gu didn't even have time to meet him, so he had no choice but to call Lao Zhao back and give new instructions.

It was nothing more than making an arrangement for the thousand Liangzhou Army who followed Lao Zhao.Old Zhao took these people outside for a long time, and thought he should go back to the city for a rest, but he didn't want to take on new tasks.

Wen Gu, as long as they leave the city, they should not come back, and temporarily find a suitable place to station in the forest west of Tongcheng, but they can't use the name of Tongcheng army, and they must avoid people's eyes and ears.

Old Zhao was a little reluctant at the beginning, not because he was afraid of hard work, but because he felt that the previous job was too boring, and his expression was very awkward.

So Wen Gu directly told him what Zhou Tong had done in the past few days. Now the Liangzhou army outside the city has a lot of good things in their hands. The next point is a point of power as a reward.

Hearing this, Lao Zhao felt that it was a pity that such a good job had to be done by Zhou Tong, and he told Wen Gu that if there was such a good job in the future, the young lady must think of him too.

Wen Gu responded with a smile, and only said that Zhou Dutong just came back at night and was sleeping in the wing room in the outer courtyard at this time, so he asked Lao Zhao to wake him up and ask where the people outside the city were.

Only then did Old Zhao go out beaming, and when Tang Mingyi saw him just now, he had just discussed with Zhou Tong and was about to go out of the city again to make arrangements.

Only then can Wen Gu feel at ease thinking about the news sent by Lianzhou Feng Xian'er.

These things are reasonable but unnecessary.In fact, there is nothing to think about the matter itself, but the difference between this time and the last time.

Lianzhou's attitude towards Liu Zhu these two times is completely different.I'm afraid the changes all come from what she did in Tongcheng.

But the transmission of these things, whether it is human transmission or carrier pigeons, takes a lot of time to go back and forth, even if Lianzhou responds, it will definitely not be so fast.

Sure enough, there was only one possibility left.
