Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 42
The two finished writing at the same time, confirmed each other, and after seeing that they were almost the same, they sealed the envelope with baking varnish.

They sent people directly to form three messengers, each with three red flags, 800 urgently, to report victory to the capital. This has never happened before.

The two also confessed at the same time that they had to pass through the city every time, and every time they arrived at a city, they shouted the victory of Pingyang County, Luo Yunhou defeated Jurchen Huang Jitai's 30 troops.

This time Zhang Jinyu is going to detonate the entire Dawu, and he will officially step onto the stage of Dawu's power.

"Master Hou, the back road has been cut off. We can only rush forward. After passing by, I will follow Master Hou soaring upwards. In case, I will accompany Master Hou on the road. We brothers still have a companion."

Shen Baichuan said with a tense but heroic expression.

It was also the first time Zhang Jinyu saw Shen Baichuan in such a gaffe, so he reached out and patted Shen Baichuan's shoulder;

"Thank you, Brother Shen, for your company all the way. I will remember what you have done. I want to tell you that there is no chance. I, Zhang Jinyu, came here in this life, but it is destined. Take care of each other, Brother Shen, and leave."

"Haha, good! Lord Hou, please, Brother Yu won't give it away."

After saying goodbye, Zhang Jinyu went out, and before leaving, she heard Shen Baichuan laughing loudly in the room;

"Come here, bring wine, good wine."

Ning Bian looked back at the room where Lord Hou came out in doubt, and asked in doubt;

"Master Hou, what's the situation with Shen Tongzhi?"

Zhang Jinyu smiled mysteriously;
"A man of temperament, a man of generosity and elegy!"

"what!"

"Ningbian quickly sent people to ask the generals to gather at the mansion for a meeting. I have something important to tell you."

"Yes, Lord Hou."

But it is said that there are three urgent messengers within 800 miles of Pingyang County City, including a fifth-rank fourth-class bodyguard who is the leader of the Luoyunhou Mansion, a sixth-rank hundred households who are responsible for the imperial city, and a sixth-rank thousand general who is the guard of Pingyang County.

These three people are the confidantes of the two, and they have clearly explained what should be said and what should not be said, and supervise each other, and each of them also carries their own identity banner behind them.

Speeding all the way, changing horses without changing people, traveling 800 miles a day, and arrived in Pingyao City in the south in less than a day. Even in Pingyao City, they strictly obeyed the instructions of Lord Hou. Passing through the city, the three of them shouted in turn;

"Great victory in Pingyang County! Marquis Luoyun defeated Jurchen Huang Jitai's 30 troops!"

Where the whole team passed by, it immediately boiled like water being poured into a hot oil pan.

Everyone was discussing loudly, and more people had tears in their eyes. The common people have been suffering for too long.

Pingyao city guard Ning Yuan clenched his fists excitedly after hearing this.

Without rest overnight, continue southward.

Arriving at Luoyue Pass inside and outside the Dawulian Pass in the middle of the night, the guard hurriedly opened the city gate to let them pass.

Hearing the great victory in the Northeast, the guard Chai Yanping was also very excited, and Li Shouqiang, the Qianhu of Luoyueguan Imperial City Division, also wrote a secret report overnight, with only six words, Pingyang County City Great Victory.

The next day, the news continued to spread into the pass like ripples on the water, and the more it spread, the bigger it spread, Yunyang County, Zhongshan County.

On the third day, Fuling County, Hedong County, until the capital.

Dai Quan received the letter from Feige from the Secretary of the Imperial City in the middle of the night. After receiving the secret letter, he also went to the harem to report to the emperor Zhou Shihong overnight, which caused Zhou Guifei to glare.

Dai Quan couldn't help but smile bitterly, but when Emperor Wu saw the six words on the secret letter, the great victory in Pingyang County, he also had a lot of emotions in his heart. , I didn't sleep all night.

It was not until early in the morning that Zhou Shihong barely slept for a while. Knowing that he had to wait two days for the victory report, he deliberately did not go to court for two days.

It was not until the third day that the meeting was notified.

But other people don't know yet, they are all discussing in Qianqing Palace, why the emperor has not gone to court for two days.

I informed the morning court today, but the emperor still didn't come, didn't he get up.

Only the two princes are there, the old gods are destined, the four county kings of the Great Wu Empire are the leaders of the nobles, and they don't usually have to go to court.

The four county kings of the Great Wu Empire are respectively Beijing King Shui Rong. After the death of the old Beijing King, he lost his military power in the generation of Shui Rong and stayed in the capital. Mu Shi, the king of Dongping County, also stayed in the capital at the same time as Shui Rong. Wang Langyun of Nan'an County is still guarding Nanyun County and has not been to Beijing. Wang Gongze of Xining County is also guarding Liangzhou and has not been in Beijing.

They didn't come for such a big event before, and it's a bit strange that they came today. There are many people from the civil service side who came to see them frequently, but the two of them ignored it, not because of their age, but because of their current identities.

The messenger from the northeast arrived in the outskirts of the capital in the early morning of the fourth day. The three of them were sleepless, but their spirits were abnormally excited.

The three of them looked at the north gate of the capital not far away, arranged their clothes, glanced at each other, and nodded.

Then one at a time, two at a time, rushed towards the city gate at full speed, the red cloaks of the three of them were brought up by the galloping wind, the red was so dazzling, it was as bright as blood under the sunlight.

"drive,"

"drive,"

"drive!"

The five-city soldier Ma Si, who was guarding the gate of the capital, saw the red flags raised high on the backs of the three messengers from a long distance.

"Go, get out of the way! Get out of the way."

"What the hell are you doing in a daze, and those who don't want to die get out of the way,"

"Hurry up, I didn't see that it was an emergency report from the border, and those who block it will die."

In an instant, the people at the gate of the city quickly got out of the way with an empty path, including the Zhen family caravan who was still preparing to leave the city.

After purchasing goods in the capital, the Zhen Family Chamber of Commerce is ready to return to Jiangnan.

I was about to leave the city, but I didn't expect to be blocked in the street, the second steward asked;
"What happened, why did it stop?"

The accompanying servant answered;
"Housekeeper, it was said earlier that the gate of the city was in the Qing Dynasty, and it seems to be an urgent report at the border."

"Give Way."

The second steward signaled the convoy to get out of the way, blocking the emergency report is a serious crime, and the Zhen family's convoy quickly gave way.

After a while, the three messengers arrived at the city gate, and the three shouted at the same time;
"Great victory in Pingyang County, Luo Yunhou defeated Jurchen Huang Jitai's 30 troops."

Running and shouting all the way, directly detonated the capital, and a large number of people gathered along the road to watch.

When the three of them entered the city gate, they deliberately slowed down their horses, started shouting in turn, and deliberately circled the capital before going to the palace to report victory.

From the looks of it, the three of them are still from the capital city, and they are very familiar with the way around.

He even ran across Ningrong Street in the east city, and the entire street in front of the Ningrong Second Mansion was watched by a large number of people who knew in advance, just to see the demeanor of the three messengers.

After seeing the three people running, there was loud cheers, and the cheers resounded all the way through the capital.

At this time, the emperor was still eating breakfast, and Dai Quan was waiting on him. At this time, an eunuch handed over a note from the outside. Dai Quan took a look at it and leaned over.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial City Secretary of the capital is here to report. The Northeast Express Messenger is currently surrounding the capital to report the victory. He didn't come directly to the palace. Now he ran from the North City to the East City."

"Well, I see, today's Xiaolongbao is really delicious, and this porridge is really delicious."

Dai Quan didn't know what the emperor meant, so he needed to shout a lot.

"It's still Your Majesty, with a clever plan."

"It's just in time, Dawu needs to boost morale now, don't be in a hurry to go to court, and go after eating today."

Emperor Wu was rarely in a hurry, and he ate an extra basket of steamed buns this morning.

The officials of Qianqing Palace were also anxiously waiting, some of the older ones were drowsy, everyone guessed what was going on and the majesty hadn't come yet, and they didn't let all the officials disperse.

Wang Ziteng guessed that it might be something about the Northeast.

As soon as this idea came out, he shook his head fiercely. How could he think about it randomly? Jia Shen next to him saw it and came over.

"Father-in-law, why are you shaking your head here?"

"Isn't this sleepy? Shake your head to wake up from sleepiness."

Wang Ziteng didn't even raise his eyelids, he just replied, obviously he didn't want to talk, Jia She got bored and went back to his seat.

In Rongguo Mansion, Jia's mother just got up, and summoned Sanchun, Baoyu, Li Wan, and Wang Xifeng to have breakfast together, talking and laughing together.

Mother Jia was also happy to eat an extra bowl of porridge. At this moment, loud cheers came from outside the mansion, which resounded throughout the Duke's Mansion, making everyone jump in fright.

Jia Mu also almost threw the bowl away,

"What's going on outside? There are so many people cheering? Yuanyang went to see what's going on, there are quite a few people."

"Yes, my ancestor."

Yuanyang raised her legs and was about to go out, when she saw Lai Da running over in a panic, without breathing, Jia Mu was shocked when she saw this, what happened, did something big happen today .
