Rebirth of the deer dragon, the leader of the dragon

Chapter 412 Shocked, Wu Sangui in the Prison 1
When they returned to the residence, it was already the next morning. Fang Yi and the others had already waited anxiously. Seeing Hong Tianxiao's return, they felt relieved and hurried forward. Looking good, I was even more worried about Mu Tianbo and others having an accident, so I asked in a trembling voice: "Da... Master Liu, how is it? My father and the others... how are they doing now?"

Hong Tianxiao didn't speak, just took out a letter from his bosom, handed it to Mu Jianping, and then sat down on the stool, Fang Yi hurriedly poured a cup of tea for Hong Tianxiao, and handed it to him, Hong Tianxiao accepted it. Drink it all in one gulp.Mu Jianping couldn't wait to open the letter, and when he read it, his expression gradually changed from nervousness to sadness, and finally he was relieved.

After Mu Jianping finished reading it, he handed the letter to Su Xiaomei and Bai Hanmei who were looking forward to it, and walked lightly to Hong Tianxiao, bowed his head and whispered, "Thank you, sir."

Hong Tianxiao looked preoccupied, just said "hm", and ignored Mu Jianping, obviously he was still thinking about how to arrange the rest of the ten people in the Mu Palace.After Mu Tianbo saw that Hong Tianxiao agreed to accept people from the Mu Palace, he gave a brief introduction to the situation in the Mu Palace.

Although there were only these dozen or so masters left in the Mu Palace, Hong Tianxiao was secretly surprised by the wealth of the Mu Palace.The Mu family has been loyal and good for generations, and all the money and jewels rewarded by the emperors of the past dynasties have been deposited in the treasury by the princes of the Mu family. Later, when the Ming Dynasty perished, the Mu Palace raised money in many ways in order to revolt and overthrow the Qing Dynasty. So far, the wealth of Prince Mu's Mansion is not in the slightest lower than that of the Dragon Sect.

After reading Mu Tianbo's handwritten letter, Su Xiaomei and Bai Hanmei were extremely excited. Su Xiaomei even shouted to Mu Jianping: "Little princess, the prince and elder brother are fine, it's really great."

After this incident, Mu Jianping seemed to have grown up a lot. Hearing this, he just gave a wry smile and continued to say to Hong Tianxiao, "Lord Liu, we... when can we meet Father and the King?" Mu Jianping's words were The code words were actually asking Hong Tianxiao when he could let them go.

Hong Tianxiao shook his head and said: "You are safe here with me, don't rush away, I will let you go back when the time is almost right." Dare to put the three of them back easily.

Mu Jianping's face showed disappointment when he heard the words, but Mu Tianbo had already told her in the letter that "Liu Feiying" and Hong Tianxiao had reciprocated three times, so Mu Jianping and the other three should not have any worries. Everything must be obeyed by "Liu Feiying".

At this time, someone suddenly came to report that King Pingxi had invited him to the parade ground for a military parade.Hong Tianxiao knew that this was a routine official duty. Since Wu Sangui guarded Yunnan, he naturally had to secure the southern gate for the Qing Dynasty. The purpose of the military parade was to let the imperial envoy report the situation of the soldiers and horses in Yunnan to the emperor, so that the emperor could rest assured. .

When Hong Tianxiao arrived at the parade ground, Wu Sangui and his son had been waiting there for a long time. Seeing Hong Tianxiao approaching from a distance, Wu and his son hurried forward to meet him.All the officers and soldiers in the audience were surprised when they saw this, and they were all guessing who the imperial envoy was, so that King Pingxi could greet him in person.

When it got closer, Wu Sangui laughed like an old friend and said: "My lord had a good rest last night, and the two gifts that Ying Xiong sent on Xiao Wang's behalf are also in line with your wishes?"

Hong Tianxiao also laughed loudly and said: "The beauties from Yunnan really have a special flavor, but the prince is really powerful, he even got a few rebels and sent them to the lower officials. If the emperor knows about this, the lower officials will be scolded by the emperor." Stop?" Hong Tianxiao deliberately said that the emperor would only scold him severely, implying that his relationship with the emperor is extraordinary.

Wu Sangui said: "Your Majesty doesn't know something, the young prince and his son don't like this way, so there are no stunning women in the mansion, so in a hurry, where to find some beauties to give to your lord, it happens that these three female rebels are detained in the mansion. The thieves' looks are not bad, so I gave them to the adults. Xiao Wang originally thought that if the adults didn't like them, Xiao Wang would continue to put them in the prison, and after he caught the other rebels in the future, they would be executed together. If you like it, Xiao Wang won't say it, your lord won't say it, but you know that the three of them are traitors?"

Hong Tianxiao scolded the old fox secretly, looked up to the sky and said haha: "The prince has promoted me to the lower office, how can such a stunning beauty be looked down upon by the lower official? But the prince, except for Chen Yuanyuan, I'm afraid I can't look down on any woman in the world. Eye-catching." After finishing speaking, Hong Tianxiao didn't wait for Wu Sangui to answer, and hurriedly said again: "Slips and slips of the tongue, I have always had the problem of being straightforward, and I hope the prince will forgive me."

Although Wu Sangui was slightly displeased with what he said just now, Hong Tianxiao was an imperial envoy after all, and he had already admitted his mistake, so he couldn't express his displeasure, so he smiled and said: "Master, today the little king will The reason I invited you here is to ask my lord to have a look at the soldiers and horses in Yunnan, and to reassure the emperor that as long as the Wu family stays in Yunnan for a day, there will never be any problems at the southern gate of the Qing Dynasty."

The Wu family?Hong Tianxiao sneered in his heart, your eldest son died early, and your second son Wu Yingxiong is about to become a eunuch, how many sons do you have who can inherit the status of prince of the Wu family?Thinking about it, we still have to save face, Hong Tianxiao nodded and said: "Okay, the emperor often said that if the Qing Dynasty wants the country to be peaceful and the people safe, the strength of the troops in the frontier is extremely important. The soldiers and horses have not yet been inspected. Just look at the top of the school field. You know the strength of Yunnan soldiers and horses, so you can see that the prince has always been well trained, so the emperor can rest assured."

Wu Sangui was obviously very satisfied with his soldiers and horses. Hearing this, he nodded and said, but he said in his heart, strong?You can't see the real strong soldiers and horses now, but when the soldiers and horses from Yunnan invade the capital in the future, you will know what is the real strong soldiers and horses, so you laughed and said: "My lord really knows how to fight!" Speaking, Xiao Wang is a little bit flustered, come, sir, please."

Hong Tianxiao also said "please", and followed Wu Sangui with his horse, while Wu Yingxiong's horse's head was slightly behind Hong Tianxiao.

Two of Wu Sangui's subordinates led dozens of assistant leaders, put on their helmets and armor, dismounted and saluted in front of the stage, and then groups of soldiers and horses performed under the stage.After the vassal soldiers were exhausted, there were five new battalions of loyal soldiers and five battalions of volunteer soldiers. Each battalion was led by a commander-in-chief and performed in formation.

Hong Tianxiao has done a lot of military research recently, but when he saw that the soldiers are majestic, the teams are neat and tidy, and the drills are even more majestic and murderous, he can't help but admire secretly, and said to Wu Sangui: "My lord, today's officials are really convincing It’s up to you. The Xiaoqi Battalion is the Emperor’s personal army, and the subordinate officer is the deputy commander of the Xiaoqi Battalion. I’m ashamed to say that if I fight against the Zhongyong Battalion and the Volunteer Battalion under the prince’s subordinates, the Xiaoqi Battalion will return in a big defeat, and they will have to flee. .”

Wu Sangui was very proud, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency has praised you, but Xiao Wang is ashamed. Xiao Wang was originally from the army, and training soldiers was originally his duty, nothing more." At this moment, suddenly Hearing the sound of the trumpets, all the soldiers shouted in unison, and the sound shook the whole field. After the shout, they shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Hong Tianxiao looked at Wu Sangui's smug face, and thought in his heart that he didn't know whether the officers and soldiers called "My Emperor" referred to Kangxi or Wu Sangui, perhaps Wu Sangui was more involved.

After the military parade was over, Hong Tianxiao took out the emperor's imperial edict, held it in his hand, and shouted: "The emperor has an order, and Pingxi King Wu Sangui accepts the order."

After the military parade, the imperial envoy will naturally read out the emperor's imperial decree of reward, which was originally a rule, Wu Sangui didn't panic at all, knelt down, and shouted: "My humble minister Wu Sangui accepts the decree." Wu Sangui knelt down, and Wu Yingxiong also hurriedly knelt down Behind his father, all the soldiers and generals behind him also knelt on the ground in unison.

Hong Tianxiao smiled slightly, held the sacred edict, and read it aloud in the direction of Wu Sangui and the generals. He wanted to show his skills in front of the officers and soldiers, so he used his internal strength when he read it. When the news spread far away, tens of thousands of soldiers in the square would kneel and listen silently.No matter how far or near, all the soldiers heard it as if the speaker was right next to their ears. Everyone was startled, and they all thought to themselves, the head of the imperial guards next to the emperor is really amazing.

Wu Sangui was even more astonished, this kind of kung fu was probably only comparable to the three major protectors in the holy religion.

The content of the imperial decree is naturally to reward Prince Pingxi for his great meritorious service, hard work in royal affairs, guarding the frontier, and calming the barbarians. All the officers and soldiers under his command have made great achievements.

After reading the oracle, Wu Sangui kowtowed to the north and shouted: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness, long live, long live, long live!" The soldiers in the school field also shouted in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness, long live, long live, long live. " Tens of thousands of people spoke in unison, the voice was so loud that it shocked the birds in the sky.

After the military parade was over and the imperial decree was read out, Wu Sangui asked his subordinates to disperse the soldiers and horses, then turned to Hong Tianxiao and said, "My lord, since the princess has already arrived in Yunnan, we should hurry up and set the wedding date for the princess and Ying Xiong, so that my lord can reply as soon as possible." Your Majesty, don't let your Majesty worry about this." As a marriage envoy, Hong Tianxiao naturally has the right to decide the wedding date, so Wu Sangui brought this matter up to Hong Tianxiao.

Hong Tianxiao knew that Wu Sangui also wanted to know whether Princess Jianning's innocence was still there as soon as possible, so he nodded and said: "If the prince doesn't say anything, the subordinate officials will also mention this matter, why don't we go to the prince's mansion to finalize the matter , and then reply to the princess, get married as soon as possible."

When they arrived at Prince Pingxi's mansion, both parties sat down, and after serving tea, Wu Sangui said: "The fourth day of the next lunar month is an auspicious day, weddings and weddings are very auspicious, my lord, how is this day?"

Hong Tianxiao did the math, there are only ten days from today to the auspicious day Wu Sangui said, and secretly thought, if the princess gets married, I will have no reason to stay here anymore, how can I find out some news about the Demon Cult, let alone Shangguan Yun Yihe's four secret envoys annihilated the entire army, and the leader of the Demon Cult will be greatly shocked. The enemy's movement and our silence are a great opportunity for the Demon Cult to show its flaws. How can we go? If not, the wedding must be postponed.

The plan has been decided, Hong Tianxiao shook his head and said: "My lord, this seems a bit too cramped? It's no small matter for a princess to marry, my lord, you have to be well-prepared. To tell you the truth, this princess is very worthy of the late emperor. With the empress dowager's love, what's wrong with it, the subordinate officials and princes are not easy to make business with the emperor."

Wu Sangui was stunned, thinking: "Since the little emperor issued the imperial edict, I have started to prepare for the wedding. How could you not guess this matter? The so-called 'preparation and thoughtfulness' is purely because you want to make things difficult on purpose. Extortion and bribery?" Although Wu Sangui was scolding Hong Tianxiao in his heart, he said with a smile on his face: "Yes, yes. It's all up to Lord Liu to take care of him. If there is anything wrong with it, please give orders to him, and Xiao Wang will try his best to handle it. If the fourth day of the lunar new year is too hasty, then the sixteenth day of the next month will be an excellent day, and there will be no conflicts with the princess and the child, and there will be no taboos."

Hong Tianxiao thought to himself, if he still disagrees, it will naturally make Wu Sangui suspicious, thinking that he has ulterior motives in coming to Yunnan, and maybe he will send more people to monitor Anfuyuan's every move, it seems that he has to pretend to agree first, and use Jianning in the future The name of the princess was postponed for another two days, so he said: "Well, the sixteenth of next month is a full month away, and all preparations should be in place. I will ask the princess when I go back. If the princess has no opinion, It will be on that day."

Wu Sangui was originally worried that Hong Tianxiao would not agree, but seeing that he easily agreed this time, he was secretly happy, and thought to himself, the princess will marry the Wu family sooner or later, so sooner or later, what matters, and where there will be any opinions, but I should ask for instructions Still need to ask for instructions.

After the date was temporarily settled, the two talked about other things casually. Seeing that Wu Sangui had no intention of letting him visit his study, Hong Tianxiao got up and left. He told the princess about the matter, so he left.

Back in Anfu Garden, there were already many officials from Yunnan waiting to be heard. Hong Tianxiao accepted the gift, and sent them away with a few perfunctory words.

After dismissing all the officials in Yunnan, Hong Tianxiao was bored, and suddenly remembered that Wei Xiaobao in the original book suspected that Yang Yizhi was killed by Wu Sangui and his son, so he sent a group of people from the Tiandihui to rescue Yang Yizhi. Now that Yang Yizhi is his subordinate, naturally he would not There will be another play like this, but Wu Sangui's prison should be locked up with good people, so you might as well go and have a look, maybe you might be able to rescue a few people from the Mu Palace.

In the middle of the night, Hong Tianxiao still put on the night clothes and went to Wu Sangui's prison.For the convenience of action at night, Hong Tianxiao controlled one of Wu Sangui's subordinates in Anfu Garden with soul-stirring in the afternoon, and learned about the location of the prison in the Pingxi Palace from him.

Wu Sangui placed a large number of guards in Anfu Garden. On the surface, it was to protect the safety of the princess, but in fact it was to monitor Anfu Garden's every move. However, it was also convenient for Hong Tianxiao. Controlling these guards not only made the art of contemplation more and more proficient, but also learned some things about Pingxi Palace from the mouths of these guards, which Wu Sangui did not expect.
