The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 605: Changing Fate against the Heavens (Part 2)

"Princess! Not good!"

On Zhuque Avenue, Yujin got off the carriage, raised her skirt and went straight to Princess Xinyang's room.

Princess Xinyang was sitting in front of the window practicing calligraphy. This time she came out of her emotions faster than before, and she was able to do her own things calmly in just one day.

While practicing calligraphy, she asked softly, "What's so flustered so early in the morning? It's not like your temper."

Yujin suddenly hesitated, should she tell the princess about this?

She has followed the princess for many years, and the princess is her master, and Xuan Pinghou is a stranger who joins with the princess.

But how can Lord Hou assassinate King Liang for the sake of the princess, if something happens to Master Hou, the princess will feel a little guilty, right?

Princess Xinyang said: "What's the matter? Is your family looking for you again?"

Yujin is a celebrity around Princess Xinyang, and her natal family is not very reliable, so she comes to Yujin from time to time for some autumn wind.

Yujin shook her heart and said, "It's not about Yujin's family, it's about Lord Hou! Something happened to Lord Hou!"

Princess Xinyang paused the hand holding the pen, and asked lightly: "What happened to him?"

Yujin anxiously said: "Didn't Master Hou go to King Liang's fief? Just now I met Young Master, who said that a natural disaster is going to happen to King Liang's fief, and it happened on the only way that Lord Hou must pass!"

With a bang, Princess Xinyang's brush drew a long ink mark on the paper.

On the long street, Liu Quan looked at the curtain of the carriage, and he heard everything Yujin and Xiao Heng said just now.

Xuan Pinghou was a fool, but he was so bold that he even dared to kill the late emperor's uncle, which surprised Liu Quan.

To be honest, he was curious about the reason, but now was not the time to satisfy his curiosity.

"Liu Lang, what shall we do next?"

Although he knew his identity as the young master, he was still used to calling him Liulang.

How to do?

This is a huge problem facing Xiao Heng.

It's a long way to go to Liang Wang's fiefdom, but Xuan Ping Hou set off last night, counting from his footsteps, if he is not stopped as soon as possible, he will happen to catch up with landslides and mudslides.

Every minute of delay is dangerous.

In particular, he was not informed at all by Feige's letter, which was used to rescue the villagers.

There are flying pigeons between the major post stations, although there is a certain error rate,

For example, the carrier pigeon was shot by someone or eaten by a bird of prey halfway, but right now it seems that this is the fastest and most convenient way.

It is also inconvenient for flying pigeons to fly in rainy days, so they must arrive at the post station before the rainstorm occurs, and allow enough time to notify the government office and the people who are led by the government office to dredge the village.

On one side is Xuanpinghou, and on the other side are the villagers of the village.

Liu Quan could not enter the palace.

If Liu Quan was asked to go back to find Gu Jiao, and then Gu Jiao would enter the palace to report the impending disaster to the emperor, and the rescue time would be delayed by at least half an hour.

Besides, it's not sure if Gu Jiao is at home, maybe she went to the clinic, or maybe she went to see a doctor.

It is the fastest way to rescue the villagers by entering the palace directly, but in this way, it will delay the search for Marquis Xuan Ping.

He had to choose between his own father and hundreds of villagers who had no blood relatives.

"Liulang..." Liu Quan called him.

Xiao Heng's clenched fists faintly trembled: "Enter the palace!"

There were less than two hours left before the rain, and the pigeons had to arrive at the post station in Pinglefu City before then!

In Huaqing Palace, the emperor met Xiao Heng.

"How do you know it's going to rain in Pingyuefu City?" the emperor asked suspiciously.

Xiao Heng himself didn't know why Gu Jiao was able to observe the weather hundreds of miles away, so naturally he wouldn't speak out to increase the emperor's doubts, besides, it was not the time to explore Gu Jiao's capabilities, the point was to save those who might be Villagers buried in mudslides.

Xiao Heng said: "I met a businessman who came from Pingyuefu City. He said that Pingyuefu City has been very dull these two days. The sky is gloomy and it seems to be raining. During the official road, I was almost hit by a rock that slipped down the hillside. I read in the books of the Imperial Academy that this is a sign that the mountain is loose. If there is a heavy rain, it will definitely cause a landslide. At that time, the villagers at the bottom of the mountain will be miserable !"

Fortunately, he studied a lot of geography in the Imperial Academy, otherwise he would not be able to make up such a reasonable explanation.

Seeing that the emperor was deep in thought, Xiao Heng said sternly: "Your Majesty, there are more than one hundred lives in Xishui Village, I'd rather believe that there is something than nothing!"

The emperor's expression became serious: "If your inference is true, then Zhao Kingdom has been plagued by wars and natural disasters in the past year. Is God warning something?"

Xiao Heng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it is important to save people!"

The emperor sighed: "Understood, I will send someone to Pingyuefu City."

Xiao Heng said sternly: "I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time, Your Majesty might as well make two preparations, the pigeon will go first!"

The emperor adopted Xiao Heng's opinion, called Mr. He and asked him to do it immediately.

Coming out of Huaqing Palace, Xiao Heng got into his own carriage, and then he asked Liu Quan, "Uncle Liu, have you changed all the horses you asked to change?"

"It's better to change them, they are all the fastest horses in the imperial guards, but..." Liu Quan looked at Xiao Heng's arms and legs worriedly, "You are so injured, it is inconvenient to hurry, I should go Go! If you think I can't catch up, you can send officers and soldiers from the Ministry of Punishment, or you can go to the Queen Mother and Empress and ask them to send some experts!"

Xiao Heng shook his head: "You can't stop him."

Xuan Pinghou has a stubborn temper. Once he makes up his mind to do something, landslides and tsunamis will not be able to stop him.

What's more, if you tell him that the mountain is about to collapse, will he believe it?

He won't believe it.

He is not afraid either.

I'm afraid he won't be the Marquis of Xuan Ping, and he won't be able to fight so many battles, and he won't be able to assassinate the late emperor's uncle.

"But, but didn't Lord Hou leave the capital yesterday? Can we catch up?" Liu Quan was not looking for excuses not to go, he hoped that he would go by himself and let Xiao Heng stay.

Xiao Heng took out the map with his right hand, looked at the route on it and said: "The mountain road is rugged, even his horse can travel up to sixty miles a day, at noon today he will complete half of the distance and enter the jurisdiction of Pinglefu City , but there will be a heavy rain next, which will greatly delay his speed. We will not encounter heavy rain when we set off from the capital, and we will be able to enter Pinglefu City tonight. In that way, the distance between me and him will not be large Far."

Liu Quan yelled: "It's not far, but it's not far, but as soon as we enter Pingyuefu City, there will be a heavy rain. Even if the distance is not far, we may not be able to catch up. The heavy rain in the fief is not just delaying his speed!"

Xiao Heng put away the map with one hand: "Everything you said makes sense."

But he's still going.

Liu Quan was angry and distressed: "Well, I finally understand why no one can stop Xuan Pinghou, and no one can stop you at all. You father and son... have a stick!"

One is to kill people after being injured, and the other is to save people after being injured.

Xiao Heng's eyes froze: "Let's go!"

...

After noon, Pingyuefu City was like a basin that had been overturned suddenly, and the torrential rain poured down, and the pedestrians on the official road began to hide from the rain.

The small tea shed that had no business at first was packed to the brim in an instant.

Among all kinds of people, there was a tall and mighty figure that caught people's attention.

One is that his face, which can be called the number one face of Zhao Kingdom, is indeed terribly handsome wherever he stands; the other is his noble and murderous aura, and even the horses beside him are more handsome than others. The horse is fierce and bandit.

A very strange phenomenon appeared in the tea shed. In order to avoid the rain, everyone crowded shoulder to shoulder and stepped on their feet. Only his table didn't even have a guest sitting with him.

Xuan Ping Hou didn't have such a murderous look when he went to the battlefield in the past. He was good-looking, and he had a three-pointed smile when he saw people.

Today, it was because I was so angry that I wanted to kill the old Liang Wang, that I became a stranger all of a sudden.

Among the guests hiding from the rain is a group of lurking robbers.

However, the robber was frightened into a quail.

Xuan Pinghou didn't come to hide from the rain, he came to feed the horses, and when the horses were full, he planned to get up and leave.

He reached into his pocket and took out a money bag. After opening it, it was shining golden!

The eyes of the tea shed owner were all green.

As a result, Xuan Pinghou rummaged through the wallet for a long time, but he only pulled out a copper coin and put it on the table.

The owner of the tea shed suspected that he had read it wrong. It was not a copper plate, but a silver coin, right?

He looked like a nobleman at first glance, did he make such a picky move?

The owner of the tea shed walked over and counted carefully three times.

This is really a copper plate!

"This lord!"

The owner of the tea shed dared to stop Xuan Pinghou.

Xuan Pinghou led the horse and looked back at him strangely.

The owner of the tea shed pointed to the copper plate on the table with his eyes.

It's missing, at least you give it to two!

Xuan Ping Hou let out a cry, gave the owner of the tea shed a look that I understood, and walked over.

The tea shed owner smiled knowingly.

In the next second, he saw Xuan Pinghou pick up the lonely copper plate and put it back into his arms.

Tea shed owner: "..."
