Chapter 280 Are the Forbidden Army still there?
"Head, what sound do you hear in front of you?"
"Yeah, head, it seems to be coming from the street in front. Haha, I'm so sleepy!"
In Jinling City,
The policemen and policemen on patrol came out from the Jinling Prefecture's Yamen and yawned. A group of people also walked lazily on the street, yawning from time to time. Some people were confused and couldn't tell the difference between east, west and north.
Hearing the "rumbling" sound in front of them, several police officers who had not yet woken up asked.
"What, what sound."
The catcher also looked over with thin eyelids, and saw a group of black figures in the distance flashing past the street intersection in front of him, very fast.
When I looked again, it seemed like there wasn't anything.
He immediately became alert and slowly led the person along the corner of the wall. When he reached a corner, he stretched out his head.
If you look closely, you will see that there is some kind of black shadow, it is cavalry, a large number of cavalry.
He woke up immediately and shouted hurriedly;
Pang Encheng, commander of Wu Xiang's left and right guards, asked.
At this time, Tang Zheng, the commander of the Tengxiang Guards, came over and knelt down on one knee.
As soon as he finished speaking, the policeman behind him quickly threw the torch in his hand on the ground and stamped it out quickly. The speed was lightning fast. The last policeman hid behind the stone pillar on the street corner and asked in a low voice:
Hearing Eunuch Zhao's powerful words, Commander Pang immediately stepped forward and took a closer look. Seriously, why is the factory father here?
Zhao Si sat firmly and rode forward. He rode so fast that his inner thighs hurt. When he came to the water bridge, he cursed angrily;
"Commander Pang, where is the Jiangnan camp?"
He must be someone from the capital, and it should be Mr. Lin's business? Jia Yucun was born in a family of officials, and he was also full of economics. He was a Jinshi and served as a prefect. Later, he was admitted by his boss, and then dismissed from office and returned to his hometown.
He was willing to go to Jinling again to visit his old friend, and even begged Lin Ruhai, Lord Lin, to teach his daughter Lin Daiyu for a few days, and then Lin Ruhai recommended herself to the Jia family.
"Sir, when I was patrolling outside, I saw at the intersection of Erdao Street in front of me. There were so many cavalry that I couldn't even count them."
The head catcher kept an eye out, and after seeing the direction the cavalry was going, he didn't dare to stay here, so he said to behind him,
Pang Encheng answered immediately.
When they arrived at the yamen gate, several people banged on the door.
"Bang bang."
Jia Yucun got up helplessly, put on a coat, and then lit the oil lamp in the house. The dim oil lamp illuminated the house. When the head catcher saw him, he knew that the master had woken up and said;
"Yes, head."
The door of the house was suddenly opened. Jia Yucun, the prefect of Jinling, hurriedly opened the door and asked;
"What could happen? It's so late at night!"
It's just that the palace gate is built like a small city gate. Looking from a distance, the buildings inside are also standing tall. It's just that the color of the palace walls is old and there are many places that are a little dilapidated. Others are intact as before.
On the school grounds of the Old Palace, a large number of Forbidden Army soldiers began to come out to assemble. They saw that the Forbidden Army soldiers were well-dressed and had no complaints about getting up so late. It can be seen that the Forbidden Army generals who stayed behind had two skills, and they were simply superior to the Imperial Army.
Make a judgment.
"Okay, but there are too many things to do tonight, and I need to be busy all night,"
A group of people cautiously came around the corner. After crossing a street, they couldn't see it anymore, so they ran back.
"Thank you Lord Marquis, thank you Mr. Chang."
"Sir, cavalry, there are a large number of cavalry entering the city outside."
Commander Pang told everything he knew, and Zhang Jinyu had a good impression of this man. He had a pure military aura, and it was interesting to be involved with the Ministry of Internal Affairs. There was also the Jiangning Weaving Bureau, which looked like a big piece of fat.
Zhang Jinyu's eyes lit up, "The cavalry is good, now we have a vanguard."
"Here it comes. Here it comes. Why are you shouting in the middle of the night?"
Jia Yucun shouted impatiently inside.
"Master, something happened outside, something big happened."
Just when Jia Yucun was thinking about it,
Zhang Jinyu's team had almost arrived at the Old Palace. When they saw the Old Palace not far away, they also admired that the old palace was no worse than the one in the capital.
The soldiers behind him immediately went to report, while the imperial guards below quickly opened the city gate.
The head catcher heard the men behind him shouting at him to leave quickly, but he felt a little helpless. He glanced at the direction of the cavalry in front of him. It seemed to be the old palace, my God!
Hearing the shouts from the people below, the commanders of Wu Xiang's left and right guards on the wall squinted and looked down. They were all elite cavalry, and they were indeed not from Jiangnan. Could something have happened?
"Get up, it's not too late."
"What about Teng Xiangwei? But it's the same?"
"Yes, head, let's go quickly."
After saying that, he didn't pay attention to the steward who was still dazed, and ran to the back of the government office. Not far away, the steward immediately closed the door, then left a gap, put his ear against the door and listened carefully.
Indeed, there was a muffled sound like thunder not far away.
"Quick, quick, put out the fire. There are a large number of cavalry in front!"
When the catcher saw it, he immediately grabbed the concierge and whispered;
"Quickly retreat, go back to the Yamen first."
"Back to the Marquis, the Jiangnan garrison camp is in Suzhou, and there is also the Jiangnan garrison camp in Jinling on the boundary of Jiangbei County. Only the Imperial Army and the Imperial Army are here in Jinling City."
Jia Yucun asked the head catcher to retreat first, closed the door, and sat on a chair in the room, guessing secretly.
Zhang Jinyu was a little surprised, why not in Jinling? Could it be that the imperial court arranged this?
"Hui, Lord Marquis, Wu Xiang's guard has two guards on the left and right. The first guard has 5,000 men, and a total of 10,000 forbidden troops."
Thanks to the Jia family, he got a job as the prefect of Jinling. Mr. Lin can be regarded as his benefactor. However, there is nothing that Mr. Lin can do about the salt administration alone. If nothing else, which of the eight major salt merchants is behind it?
No one, no one has a backer, so I can only stay away from them.
"Eunuch Zhao, we'll be here soon. What do you think we should do?"
"Who are the four guards of the Forbidden Army?" Jia Yucun thought secretly, turned around and told the arrester:
"You go down first and don't make any noise about this."
When Zhang Jinyu saw it, he asked the troops from the front camp to go in first. He controlled the palace gate according to the old rules, and then the troops from behind filed in one after another. When he walked to the palace gate, he saw Commander Wu Xiangwei standing there respectfully and asked;
As soon as the concierge opened the door, he was swarmed in by the policemen outside and was almost pushed down.
"Why are you squeezing? Why are you squeezing? There are ghosts chasing you from behind."
Zhao Si, who was following closely behind, suffered quite a lot after a bumpy journey, and said with a grimace;
"When we get there, the Marquis will naturally make the decision, and the Four Guards will be controlled by the Marquis. Our people can also rest in the old palace, and many places there can be turned into military camps."
"Cavalry, what cavalry, where did you get the news?"
The steward was so frightened that he hurriedly closed the door and bolted the door, then he patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's Master."
"You don't even recognize me as the governor. You are blind and don't open your eyes to see the miscellaneous family."
At the front, Yongbyon led the men and horses of the Pioneer Battalion and stopped outside the water bridge outside the palace gate, shouting:
"Marquis Luo Yun, the imperial envoy to the south of the Yangtze River, and Eunuch Zhao, the imperial eunuch in charge of the imperial palace in the capital, are here. Do you want your commanders to come out and respond?"
Looking at the long dragon-like team on the street in front, he looked horrified. Such sophisticated cavalry must have come from outside. I had never seen the style of the armor before.
"Boss, there is nothing we can do here. Let's retreat first. If we are discovered, it will be over."
"Who is it?"
This was said beautifully. Zhang Jinyu raised her eyes and looked at Tang Zheng, the commander of Tengxiang who was kneeling there. He was tall and average-looking but had a sweet mouth, and said with a smile;
Zhang Jinyu also felt that time was urgent and could not waste time, so she reminded him, and Mr. Zhao of Zhao Company even agreed with a grimace.
"At the end of the day, Teng Xiang led Tang Zheng, met with the marquis, and met with the factory owner. At the end of the day, Chi Te came to apologize."
"Back to the Marquis, a large number of bandits appeared in Jiangbei County. In order to ensure the safety of Jinling, Jiangnan garrison general Tang Zheng set up a camp there to prevent the bandits from coming. As for the Jiangnan camp, it has been stationed in Suzhou, where the Jiangning Weaving Bureau is located.
That's the order from the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
"Uh...stop."
"Quick, quick, open the palace door, go and inform General Yi, the commander of Teng Xiang's left and right guards,"
The catcher pointed in the direction of the old palace, and Jia Yucun understood immediately.
"Commander Pang, how many people do you have in your Wu Xiang Guards?"
