Chapter 196 Zhang Lu

The elder said: "If you dare to teach Guipiao, I know that your master has made great contributions to the army and will be rewarded sooner or later. Guipiao still needs to take good care of his body, and he will have good fortune in the future!"

The white-haired old man's eyes lit up and he said happily: "My lord has done something good? What kind of merit? How does the elder know about it? Is there any battle report?"

The elder smiled and said: "Guijiao is indeed loyal to his master's family. Hearing the merits of his family's property, his spirits are much better. So Guijiao learned that a military envoy came to the city to ask for water and food. During the chat, he mentioned that your lord Zheng's Anping

, the military envoy said: This person has made great achievements, and when the war is over, he will be rewarded. What is your contribution? It is a great achievement that breaks the sky! He saved Lord Xinling! Do you know whether this contribution is great? It breaks the sky!

.”

The old man lowered his eyebrows, wiped his eyes with his hands, and said: "My lord has been supported by my ministers since he was a child, and he has been with me day and night. Everyone knows this! After ten years of separation, my master's family has declined, and he has sent away all his concubines. I am old and sick, and cannot be driven away."

, It’s hard to send my broken body. I only think about the young master. A porridge and a meal have saved my remaining life. Unexpectedly, the young master thinks about the old friendship and treats me like a guest. I am incompetent and can’t help you, so I can only think about it! Now I have the elder to spread the good news. I can’t help you.

I'm so happy..." She burst into tears as she spoke.

The elder quickly comforted him and said: "Zheng's benevolence and righteousness are well known to me, so there will be no harm to you. As long as you worry less about your well-being, you will be blessed in the future."

The old man cried and said: "How dare you ask for blessings, but you will get a broken body, and the benefits will be great! Our Lord has done a good job in protecting Lord Xinling. This will lead to a big battle, and he will make contributions in front of the two armies! Will Lord Xinling return?"

The elder said: "I haven't heard of the battle between the two armies recently, and I don't know the victory or defeat. Lord Xinling is outside the city and has not returned to his country. The young people in our city are still in the army, and there are no injuries. There should be no reports.

Great war."

The old man counted on his fingers and said: "My lord has been away from home for five or six days. Do you have this number of elite soldiers in your city, and are you ready with food and fodder?"

The elder said: "In the city, the limit is ten days, and today it is the sixth day. If the war is postponed, or there will be military envoys to urge food in two or three days."

The old man said: "Old minister is ridiculous. I only prepared five days of food. I'm afraid it will be exhausted now! If your army's envoys arrive, please be in vain. I will go to prepare food for the Lord."

The elder said: "Well! The Zheng family has done a great job in protecting the Lord. Lord Xinling has spread his benevolence and righteousness to the world, so there will be no loss! The price is expensive, but peace of mind. But if there is military retribution, I will tell you."

The two stood on both sides of the fence and chatted for a long time. The elder was in high spirits and was very interested in the conversation. The white-haired old man stood under the fence and whispered back, which made the old man laugh from time to time. The elder told him that except for this morning, there was a motorcade along the road.

Outside of the main road, there were no large groups of people mobilizing. However, the driving did not stop, and it happened several times a day. But this morning, in addition to a large group of people going west, there were also a few horses going west in a short while. It was thought that the war in the west was about to start. Until the day

With his head sinking to the west, the elder said: "The sun is setting, the cold wind is starting to rise, and you have to go home to eat and drink. If your lord is rewarded, I will never forget you!"

The old man said: "Although I dare not speak for my lord, I know my lord's heart. We know each other and love each other, so how dare we not take it personally and repay it just in case!" The elder left. The old man stood under the fence with a stick for a long time.

, seemed to watch the elder go to Yiqian's home, then staggered back. But he did not go back to the room, but went around to the back and sat down by the back door.

After a while, a strong warrior came over and stood in front of the fence. The old man passed a jar of water from the side. The man took it, drank a few sips, sat down, put the jar on the ground, and said

The old man said: "An accident happened at the west gate. The middle-ranking official Xu Jia was robbed before he went out. The robbers pretended to be beggars, each holding a dog-beating stick, only one stick. They made the guards fall asleep and rushed out of the door. The soldiers on the city could not close the door in time.

Already out of the city!"

The old man's expression moved slightly and he asked: "Who dare to know what he did?"

Wu Zu said: "A knowledgeable person will recognize that there is a guest among them."

The old man said: "Weisi people, who is out here! What does the doctor want to do when the guests of Lord Xinling are robbed?...Does the doctor have an order to send to Han?"

Wu Zu said: "Of course. Yesterday, the minister and the minister of Wei entered the palace together. This morning, the minister of Wei and the minister went to the Daliang Gate to say farewell to the temple. They walked in a row of five chariots and went straight out of the west gate. They said the ceremony without avoiding the public.

, this is common. Therefore, there are many people outside the Daliang Gate - all of them are driven one mile away. When the west gate opens, the guard clears the way. Among the spectators, a beggar suddenly makes a move and knocks the guard unconscious, while the rest of the people support the car.

They rode out of the city in a crowd. The middle-level officials also wrapped them up and threatened them. They left the west gate and headed west, but no trace of them was found."

The old man said: "Can we send soldiers to follow him?"

The soldier said: "This is war time, and troops cannot be mobilized without orders. The city gates were quickly closed and reported to the general. The general inspected the west gate, but there was no order left. Therefore, no one left the city. When they reached the corner, there were six cavalry.

I left the city and thought I was following him - I haven't returned yet."

The old man said: "A military envoy came to report that Lord Xinling was in danger and was rescued by the Zheng family. How did he feel?"

The soldier said, "No one in the city has heard of this matter. How do you know, sir?"

The old man said: "I have heard from the military envoy that the matter involves the Zheng family, but I ask Ying Wei to investigate carefully."

The soldier said: "Here!"

The old man said: "The senior official went on a mission to South Korea and was robbed by Lord Xinling's followers. Seeing Lord Xinling in the army, he could advance or retreat. The court was afraid of his power and would not dare to investigate in detail; Lord Xinling would also be harmless.

Dr. Yu Zhong...how to hijack a car and leave the city? Lord Xinling may be in urgent need of the help of a large number of followers. It is not difficult for a few followers to get out of the city, but it may be difficult for hundreds of followers, so he entrusted it to Dr. Zhong, but the doctor refused, so he came up with this strategy and took advantage of the opportunity.

Get out of town."

Wu Zu said: "Sir, there must be nothing wrong with what you said. I will use this to restore Ying Wei."

The old man asked: "Is the west gate guard awake?"

The soldier said: "The guards of Ximen have been detained by the general in Yousi. They are cut off from inside and outside. I don't know the details."

The old man said: "Mr.

success."

The soldier said: "If this is the case, the situation will be settled!"

The old man said: "Of course. The battle situation has calmed down a little, but the battle in the court will definitely start..."

Wu Zu said: "This is beyond our ability to know."

The old man said: "The court and the grass are one and the same. The struggle for power in the court will inevitably end up in the grass. There is no way to avoid it."

The soldier said: "What can I do?"

The old man said: "But you can do it when you see the opportunity. I worship Yingwei and I will be happy to help you with the things you entrusted to the Zheng family!"

The soldier said: "We must try our best." He stood up, saluted and left.

The old man went out, carried the water jug ​​in, closed the back door, and staggered back to the front. He looked around and saw that there was no one in the street. He then carried a larger water jug ​​and went out of the back door, following a vaguely visible road.

Walking half a mile along the trail, we came to a small hidden ditch. This is where an underground river flows out of the ground. The water was not very strong. The old man struggled to put the water can in his hand, drew out half of the water, and staggered

Carry it back again.

Although it was late afternoon and it was time to eat, there seemed to be no smoke from every house, and no fragrance of millet wafted out from the town, like a dead town. The old man only took out half a bowl of millet porridge from the cauldron and drank it silently.

, thinking about what happened these days, judging the connection between them, and what details still need to be clarified.

He accidentally took a deep breath, and felt a sharp pain in his ribs, causing the old man to hold his breath for a moment. He felt strange that when he heard about Dr. Zhong just now, he didn't feel any emotion at all - he had all thanks to Zhong.

The doctor must be given by Jia.

"Hey~~!" The old man let out a long sigh. He unbuttoned his shirt and looked at the belt on his chest. He had been moving more frequently and the belt was a little loose, so he took a sharp breath just now, which caused a burst of drama.

It hurt. The old man took off his belt, took off all his clothes, and prepared to rearrange the belt. But on the one hand, the belt was not easy to arrange, and on the other hand, the severe pain in his ribs also restricted his movements, and it took him a long time to do it.

He also failed to straighten the straps. He sighed and was about to give up. At this time, the wood door creaked open, and a black figure appeared at the door. The old man was startled and instinctively hid in the dark.

The person in the shadow spoke out: "Zhang Lu, I am too."

The old man took a deep breath and said softly: "Right of the car, what are you doing?"

Mr. Cheyou got used to the darkness in the room, and when he saw Zhang Lu's naked upper body, he whispered: "Does it hurt again?"

Zhang Lu raised the belt and said politely: "Help me!"

Mr. Cheyou knelt next to Zhang Lu, and the two of them cooperated. As expected, everything went smoothly. The belt was tightly tied to the chest, and deep breathing and large movements did not cause severe pain in the ribs. Zhang Lu breathed a sigh of relief.

, turned to Mr. Cheyou and said: "We are just returning from camp, what's the rush?"

Mr. Cheyou said: "Firstly, I have greatly benefited from my brother's help in unsealing the seal, so I dare not fail to thank you. Secondly, the situation has been changing day by day, so I have to ask my brother about it."

Zhang Lu said: "If you thank me, you will be exempted. If you have any questions, ask."

Mr. Cheyou said: "Although I am in trouble with my brother, I hope that the doctor will have to deal with matters."

Zhang Lu's expression changed slightly, but his tone remained unchanged: "It's okay to say it."

Mr. Cheyou said: "Let me tell you the details in detail. I know the matter of unsealing the seal very well. My brother is incompetent. Although he carried the order of unsealing and left the seal, he was robbed by Lord Xinling. It was decided in Lord Xinling's camp.

, three people from Mang Mansion: Major General Mang Shen, Mr. Xiao Jian and his younger brother, two people from Xinling Jun Mansion: Jin, Mr. Cao Er, and Chen Si who accompanied his brother to Kaifen, a total of six people, returned to Daliang together with Mang Mansion

We agreed on internal and external reconciliation and retreated the Qin army together. Lord Xinling then led his army directly to Huayang to obtain food."

Zhang Lu suddenly asked: "Is Hu Wei going to Huayang?"

Mr. Cheyou said: "The Qin people opened a military city in Qifeng, which I know about. The Koreans went to Qifeng via Huayang to sell grain, but I don't know about it. The person in charge of this matter is Han Wang Sun Huayang Wei.

The person responsible for the incident is Han Bushen, a retainer of Huayang Wei."

Zhang Lu said: "Who are these two people?"

Mr. Cheyou said: "I don't know each other or have any acquaintance with him, but I heard about Lord Xinling. He is a disciple with great ambitions but little talent."

Zhang Lu stopped questioning and continued: "Mr. Xinling has gone to Huayang, what do you want the general to do?"

Mr. Che You said: "Huayang, Daliang and Han are attacking Han from three sides. We must defeat him urgently. If we mislead him from many sides, we will conquer Qin."

Zhang Lu asked: "Who is planning the plan?"

Mr. Cheyou said: "Gu Xin Lingjun's disciple Zhang Sui's plan."

Zhang Ludao: "General Yi also has the same plan. Anyone who envoys to Korea will definitely fall into the trap of a great official."
