Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 114
Beijing,

Anhu Camp,

Wang Ziteng was sitting in his handsome tent and had not returned home for many days. He had been staying in the big camp. Fortunately, the camp here was very comfortable and he could stay there. He touched the thick blanket on the seat, thanks to his daughter Thinking of her old father, Wang Shuyi specially sent a lot of warm blankets.

It's a pity that if he didn't have those troubles, he could have a good recuperation in the camp. What did this Dabi civil servant think, and he couldn't have come up with some weird tricks.

But after thinking about it, there is no fool. Mr. Zhao Ge of the Ministry of War will never change the existing interests. The civil servants can only start from the outside, but how to dismantle them when the frontier army reports to the regiment is a problem.

Thinking of the frontier army, I am also deeply afraid of mistakes or accidents, but as long as the frontier army is there for a day, it will not be safe for a day, when is the end.

Today, Wang Ziteng's deputy general reported the whereabouts of the frontier generals. Although they secretly met in private, they couldn't hide from Wang Ziteng's eyeliner. In the Beijing camp, Wang Ziteng knew every plant and tree that was missing.

"Jie Shuai, those young father-in-laws of the frontier generals are gathered together, and their guards are guarding the outside, so no one else can get close."

"Well, what else?"

"Hui Jieshuai, only the young master of the Duke's Mansion was with him, and he didn't see the other three generals of the frontier army there."

The lieutenant general said with some doubts that the frontier army had a conflict.

"Very well, continue to stare in the dark, don't care what they do, go down."

"Yes, Jie Shuai, I will retire at the end."

After his lieutenant general left, Wang Ziteng took a deep breath, and looked weakly at his nephew Wang Ren who was hiding behind the pillar.
"Come out, let me ask you what Jia Lian is doing?"

Naturally, Wang Ren knew what his uncle meant, and he wanted to keep a close eye on Jia Lian's every move, especially whether he had secretly connected with other generals in the camp, or passed on secret information about the people in the Beijing camp to the old lady in Jia's house.
"Back to Uncle, after Jia Lian came to the barracks, he practiced for a week at the beginning, but now he is a bit overwhelmed by the physical training, and has been resting in the tent, except for eating, sleeping and roll call every day, he never comes out."

"That's good, that's good!"

Wang Ziteng also put his mind at ease. During this period of time, he was always afraid of the next move of the Jia family, especially when he first came to the barracks, Jia Lian's relentless training made him worry. It's useless.

"Sit down and rest, our uncle and nephew haven't spoken for a while, how about the barracks with me?"

"Back to Uncle, Jingying is really depressing, boring and hard work."

Wang Ren answered simply and clearly.

"That's right. Leading an army is not a joke. It's about killing people. The elite frontier army lies in a life-and-death battle outside. Only those who live are brave. What do you think of what the lieutenant general said just now?"

Wang Ziteng changed the subject, and directly brought up the frontier army, especially those generals of the Duke's Palace.

Wang Ren was not sure what his uncle meant. Didn't he say that the nobles in the world belonged to one family? What he saw in the barracks these days was not true. There were still so many calculations and conspiracies.

"Reply, uncle, my nephew thinks that those people are forming a group, or forming an alliance, and our nobles may not be a family. My nephew didn't expect that both the officialdom and the generals would be so realistic."

"Okay, I didn't expect you to be not pedantic. Not only is it not a family, but it may also be an opponent. The situation is changing too fast now. Yesterday it may be an ally, but today it may be an opponent. And we have a self-contained system in the capital, and they have to Keep your distance."

Wang Ziteng instructed that he was afraid that Wang Ren would make a big mistake and hurt himself.

Knowing his uncle's kindness, Wang Ren suddenly thought of what his uncle had said before, and suddenly said,
"Including Marquis Zhang Jinyu outside the pass."

Wang Ziteng was silent for a while, then nodded after thinking about it,

"Yes, including him,"

"Why is this? Didn't they say that they would marry again?"

"These are two different things. You still don't understand. It's the imperial court, and it's my position that requires us to keep a distance, otherwise we are afraid of catastrophe."

"Uncle means."

Wang Ziteng didn't dare to say it, so he pointed at Ouchi with his finger. Wang Ren also nodded silently to express his agreement. The two looked at each other and felt pressure.

Zhongzhou, where the capital is located,

The borders of Fowlingshire have been left behind.

Zhang Jinyu rode the horse in a panic, and walked lazily forward. It was true that Wangshan ran a dead horse, and it took such a long time to walk such a small distance.

It can only be said that the territory of Dawu is too large and sparsely populated, and only a few wealthy counties near the capital are worth seeing.

"Master Hou, after passing this boundary marker, you will enter the boundary of the capital. What does Master Hou want to say?"

Duan Hong slowly approached with his bodyguard, and encouraged him with a relaxed mood.

"What do you say, go to the capital to show off your power, and if the brothers don't perform well, I will become a joke."

Zhang Jinyu said angrily, still thinking about how to find a way to stop Jia's house.

"Oh, Master Hou can't say that. The brothers in our old camp are not bragging. If we are called the second in Dawu, no one will dare to be the first."

"If you say you are fat, you are still panting, old Duan, you can do it now."

"Master Hou, I'm telling the truth."

Duan Hong was anxious there, but he told the truth.

"All right, no one will say that what you said is a lie, but be careful of the imperial guards, the last hole card of the royal family is not just for fun."

Duan Hong didn't say big things either, he nodded solemnly to express his agreement.

"Hou Ye is right. The forbidden soldiers are all selected elites, especially the old soldiers who have not been expanded in the past few years, and the military pay is sufficient, and the armor is also specially made. It is really not easy."

"By the way, who is leading this forbidden army? Why don't I have any impression?"

Zhang Jinyu suddenly thought of the crux of the problem, who is leading the training of the forbidden army, but Duan Hong said,
"Master, I know about this. When I was in the capital's Jingying, I had a martial arts competition with the Imperial Army. I heard that I was also the commander of a great martial arts noble. He is not the founding father of the country, so he doesn't have much contact with him."

Zhang Jinyu understands that honors of different periods have the same essence,

"What was the result of your contest between the Beijing camp and the marching army?"

Duan Hong blushed, and said submissively,

"It's really embarrassing. The Beijing camp suffered a disastrous defeat, and none of them were opponents. I'm really ashamed."

Zhang Jinyu didn't underestimate the Beijing camp, but he didn't expect the reality to be even more outrageous, and the imperial army should not be underestimated.

the east gate of the capital,

Qian Ke also drove to the capital all night long, and arrived at the east gate of the capital the next morning. Seeing that the gate had not yet opened, she found a booth and sat down to have some breakfast.

When the city gate opened, I went in immediately. While eating, I heard people at the other table talking about the major events that happened in the capital in the past few days, such as the murder at the south gate of the capital, and the fact that the Taiping Sect was behind the scenes, etc. .

Qian Ke also didn't care to listen, because his uncle's backer was still in Luo Yunhou's hands, and his life was uncertain.

At this moment, a few vicious profuse sweaters came from the official road, and came to the refreshment shop with big thorns.

"Shopkeeper, serve up all your delicious food and drink, the brothers are all hungry."

The shopkeeper was frightened and asked tremblingly,

"Heroes, this is just a small refreshment shop, how can there be those big fish and big meat."

"Stop talking nonsense, then use whatever you have."

A few tough men shouted impatiently, the people around saw this and speeded up their porridge, wanting to leave this place early and avoid causing trouble.

Qian Ke also saw that the momentum was wrong and wanted to get up and leave, but was stopped by a big man,
"Hey, little brother, you look so well dressed, borrow some money."

As soon as the words were finished, the burly men blocked the way. Qian Ke lamented inwardly. Misfortunes never come singly. What can I do now? The city gate is about to open.

Qian Ke reached out and touched his bosom, took out two taels of silver and handed it over.

"Heroes, I am also a servant. This is the vegetable and meat money that the master asked me to go out of the city to buy. Now I honor you. How about letting me go?"

One of the big guys came over and touched his hand, then looked back at the head sitting on the table, the boss nodded, the big guy withdrew his hand and got out of the way, Qian Ke bowed his hands and hurried away.

The big man who blocked the way came back and asked,
"Brother, why did you let him go? It looks like he is a son of a rich family. He has a lot of money. You can see that he is worth two taels of silver every time he makes a move. In the Northwest, it is enough for a family for a month."

"Let's talk nonsense, we are new here, it's better to be careful, seeing that he is in a hurry, there must be something urgent, so we can touch it easily, otherwise we may not get it."

"It's still right. We have a lot of people here. What should we do now? How can we contact Goddess Master? This person is not familiar with the place."

"Didn't the master say that it's in the mansion of Marquis Yun, what's the name? Just go there and contact her maid, Huo'er."

Another big man said, and then the three of them looked at each other helplessly, where is the Hou Mansion?

"Go back after dinner and let those fire girls prepare to go to the city to check. We are too conspicuous to stay outside the city and wait for the letter."

The leader also said helplessly, the others thought about it and couldn't find a better way, so they could only nod their heads.

After everyone finished their meal, they returned to a hill outside the city and shared their thoughts with the Fire Girls of the Zoroastrian Cult. Yang Bing, the leader of the Fire Girls, reprimanded,

"It's really useless to you, didn't the master send a letter, didn't the above say everything."

The leader thought it was true, quickly took out the letter, handed it over, and Yang Bing took it over to read it.

The leader quickly asked where the master was, and Yang Bing replied that it was in the Luoyunhou Mansion in the east city of the capital, and then ignored them, took a few people and went into the city.

Several tough bosses scratched their heads innocently, still thinking that it was because they couldn't read.
