Han ride

Chapter 172
After nightfall, the back door of Dong's mansion was wide open. Zhao Guang held a silver gun and led Mrs. Dong and Dong Xiaowan out of the back door. Sure enough, there was a carriage and a horse in the alley by the back door.Shopkeeper Xiao was leading a few servants to the side, and when he saw the three coming, he also went up to meet them.

"The old lady has already made arrangements. The old lady will wait for three to five days in Wusong before she can see the general." Shopkeeper Xiao personally helped Madam Dong into the carriage, then arched his hands towards Zhao Guang, and said, "Zhao Guang General, the gates of Suzhou City have already been properly arranged. The general can escort the old lady and his wife to Wusong. My master has some connections with the Wusong Zhou family. , I will meet you when the general arrives. There is already a ship from Dengzhou coming to Wusongkou, and it must arrive within ten days, and the general can take his wife on board and wait."

"Thank you so much, old shopkeeper." Zhao Guang nodded, got on the steed, and under the guidance of the two servants of the Xiao family, slowly sank into the darkness.

"Brother, you, when do you think Brother Li will arrive at Wusongkou?" Inside the carriage, Dong Xiaowan opened the curtain and asked nervously.

"Ma'am, don't worry, my lord is brave. I believe he will arrive in Wusong soon." Although Zhao Guang had doubts in his heart, he could only answer in this way at the moment.

"From the grassland to the south of the Yangtze River, there are thousands of mountains and thousands of miles. Li Xin is the leader of an army. He can take the risk to come here. With this kindness, my husband will die in peace." Madam Dong's sigh came to mind again in the car.

"Don't worry, my lord. My lord is extremely brave and has a clever plan. If I can go south to the Central Plains this time, I must have already made a plan. There will be no major problems." Zhao Guang repeatedly comforted.

"I hope so!" Mrs. Dong in the car had never met Li Xin, and she didn't know Li Xin's bravery, so she was extremely worried.

In fact, not only Mrs. Dong, but also Zhao Guang, but unlike Mrs. Dong, a weak woman, Zhao Guang held a spear in his hand, and there was a gleam of determination in his eyes.Li Xin has the grace to teach him art, even if he is smashed to pieces, it will not be safe.He knew that since the Xiao family knew that Li Xin was coming, the imperial court must also know that Li Xin had gone south, and must have deployed heavy troops along the way, waiting for Li Xin to take the bait.

In fact, just as Zhao Guang guessed, Li Xin had already arrived in the Central Plains, and the news spread quickly to the imperial court. Commanders, Jin Yiwei, Dongchang and others dispatched one after another to look for Li Xin's whereabouts.After so many people searched, the news that Li Xin was in Shandong soon spread to the capital.

On this day, the Nanjing Garrison Mansion, various passes, soldiers and horse envoys from various state capitals, guards, etc. all came to the Garrison Mansion, waiting for the arrival of the Lord Garrison.Nanjing was once the capital of the Ming Dynasty. After Emperor Yongle moved the capital to Beijing, its status and role declined a lot, but the six departments still existed. However, in order to appease those frustrated in officialdom, the six departments of Nanjing were relegated from Beijing. officials.The most prominent one here is the Nanjing Defense Envoy. The general Nanjing Defense Envoy is served by honorable officials. At this moment, the Nanjing Defense Envoy is Zhang Gongwei, Marquis of Longping. He is the descendant of Zhang Xin. Difficult minister, so become honored.

"Why hasn't Lord Garrison arrived yet?" In the lobby, someone looked around and asked nervously.

"Brother Xu, did you see the sedan chair outside just now? Han Zanzhou is here." The colleague on the other side pointed to the outside lightly, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth and said: "Look, the one who takes credit is here."

"Han Zanzhou is here too. It seems that this time the matter is going to be a big mess." The general shook his head and said, "Could it be that a rebel is coming."

"Rebellion? That's not scary, but I heard that the people who came this time are stronger than rebellion." The general surnamed Xu shook his head and said: "This man has a hundred thousand soldiers in his hands, and even Liaodong Jiannu is no match for him. You Are you saying that this person is great?"

"You're talking about Li Xin?" The general's expression changed when he heard the words, and a hint of admiration appeared on his face, and he said, "So it's him. Did he come to Jiangnan?"

"Here we are, if we don't come, how can we wait here." General Xu leaned over and said softly: "You also know that the imperial court regards Li Xin as a tiger and wishes to imprison Li Xin in the dungeon, but the other party It's in the grassland, no, finally came up with an idea to lure Li Xin to the south of the Yangtze River, how can he let him go back? We have a lot of soldiers and horses in Nanjing, so wouldn't it just come to us?"

"Li Xin is afraid of Jiannu, how could he be afraid of us?" The general shook his head and said.

"That's not what we're considering." General Xu shook his head and said.

"You said that Han Zanzhou's trip is to cooperate with us?" The general said disdainfully again: "Just rely on those eunuchs, you can spend money everywhere, but if you contribute your strength, I'm afraid it won't work."

"Master Garrison is here." At this moment, a loud shout came from the back hall, and a middle-aged man in brocade clothes came in. He had a sharp sword hanging from his waist, and his eyes were powerful. Nanjing Defense Ambassador Longping Hou Zhang Gongwei, behind him, there is another eunuch in python robes, it is Nanjing Defense Eunuch Han Zanzhou.

"Brothers are here." Zhang Gongwei sat on the handsome seat, glanced at everyone, and said, "There are no secrets in this city of Nanjing. I think you all know why the brothers are called here today. It's over."

"Please order, general." The generals looked at each other and said loudly, clasping their hands.

"Okay, brothers, go and mobilize the people below to find someone!" Zhang Gongwei glanced at Han Zanzhou, who took out a stack of words from his sleeve, and his own soldiers took all these paintings After sending it out, I saw that the picture on it was a delicate and handsome scholar.

"This is Li Xin?" Everyone picked it up, looking at Zhang Gongwei and Han Zanzhou in surprise, obviously they didn't expect Li Xin to be such a handsome person.

"This person is Li Xin, hehe, don't judge by appearance!" Zhang Gongwei said with a smile: "Everyone, Li Xin is brave, and I don't know how many generals who built slaves have been killed. Although he is a handsome scholar, in fact, But he is an extremely cruel person, brothers, if you can find this person, you must be careful, I don't want to miss anyone here next time."

"Thank you, Lord Hou." The faces of the generals changed and they shouted loudly.

"Eunuch Han, I don't know what you have to say?" A trace of disdain flashed in Zhang Gongwei's eyes, but there was a smile on his face.

"Our family has nothing to say." Han Zanzhou said with a thin voice and a smile: "Everyone, this is a very brave person, but this is also registered in the palace. Everyone, if you can see this person , you will be developed."

"Thank you for your father-in-law's cultivation." The generals' eyes lit up, Han Zanzhou came from the palace, and what he said was naturally what the palace said.Although everyone hated Han Zanzhou very much, they were extremely excited after hearing Han Zanzhou's words.I can't wait to find Li Xin immediately, then catch him and send him to the capital, he will definitely be promoted and rich.

"Uncle Tian Guo is about to arrive in Nanjing. General Xu, you will lead a team to Yangzhou to protect Uncle Tian Guo, and then follow Uncle Tian Guo to Suzhou." Zhang Gongwei glanced at the general and said lightly: "You are you willing?"

"The last general, the last general takes orders." Although General Xu was unwilling, there was nothing he could do. ,

"What? You still don't want to?" Zhang Gongwei sneered and said, "You have to know what Li Xin said about going south to the south of the Yangtze River this time. It's because of his unmarried wife. His unmarried wife is called Dong Bai. Suzhou, Uncle Tian Guo’s ship goes directly to Suzhou. You go to escort him to Suzhou. As long as you keep an eye on Uncle Tian Guo, you are most likely to meet Li Xin. Xu Xiang, if you don’t want such an opportunity, this Marquis can take it Give it to someone else."

"Yes, yes." Xu Xiang was taken aback when he heard the words, followed by a burst of joy.If it is really according to what Zhang Gongwei said, as long as I follow up with Tian Yunxiu, I have the greatest chance of meeting Li Xin. At that time, no matter how brave Li Xin is, it is impossible for him to resist thousands of soldiers with his own strength. .

"Don't be too happy too early." Han Zanzhou said with some dissatisfaction: "Li Xin can come to Jiangnan from the clouds, and he will be discovered only when he arrives in Shandong. It shows that he is insidious and cunning. Maybe he has already arrived in Yingtian at this moment. Maybe. Finding Li Xin is not a simple matter."

"Eunuch, don't worry, what is this place? This is Jiangnan, and Jiangnan is our territory. As long as Li Xin comes to Jiangnan, it is impossible for him to escape from our grasp." Xu Xiang said triumphantly.

"Hmph, don't be so overconfident." Zhang Gongwei poured cold water on her and said, "Remember, when you see Li Xin, you can only catch him alive. If anyone kills him, even this Marquis will not be able to protect you."

"This, this is too difficult!" Now the generals were not satisfied.It is very easy to catch a dead one, but it is ten times more difficult to catch a living one.

"Li Xin has [-] soldiers and hundreds of thousands of troops. If he dies in the south of the Yangtze River, whoever controls the [-] troops will probably invade Zhangjiakou immediately. Everyone, whoever kills him will kill you when the time comes. Send it to Zhangjiakou with your family." Zhang Gongwei warned everyone.As soon as everyone's faces changed in fright, they became even more wary of this matter in their hearts.At this time, everyone knew that it might not be such a simple matter to make great achievements in catching Li Xin.

"Ahem, it's not okay to kill him, but in order to catch him, you can do other things." Han Zanzhou coughed twice and said in a low voice.

"The last general understands." The generals understood that these guys may not be as good at fighting as the frontier army, but they are extremely proficient in the so-called killing of good deeds, extortion and so on. Although Han Zanzhou didn't point out The meaning in it, but which of the military generals on the scene is not a treacherous guy, naturally they can understand it very clearly.
