Chapter 480 Detour
"No need. No matter how fast the horse whips, it's not as fast as the homing pigeon."
Sansan shook his head, still explaining indifferently.
The 50th Guard nodded and took the letter to the pigeon house. However, he still had doubts in his heart. Even if the pigeon was faster than manpower, there were too many variables in the middle.
In the past, when the 50th Guards received important news, they would send manpower to the destination quickly...
Looking at the 50 Guards who left in a hurry with puzzled expressions, Sansan let out a long sigh.
It is precisely because he is the person who knows Xiao Chengxian's temper best among the 50 Guards that he will delay the news as much as possible in this way this time.
There is a war in the country of Yue and it is invaded by a neighboring country... If the master and his wife knew about it, they put the people first and would not watch the war in the country of Yue continue.
However, weapons as powerful as sniper guns were never handed over to the Dekang court.
If the weapons were sent to Yue State because the war in Yue State was urgent and because A Jiang had a relationship with his wife, wouldn't it just make the old ministers in the DPRK happy?
They were eager to find Xiao Chengxian's flaws and omissions, and wanted Xiao Chengxian and Su Manrong, two young boys and girls who knew nothing, to leave the court...
These were the exact words of those veterans, heard by the 50 Guards with their own ears.
"I'm sorry, madam. Sansan made the decision without authorization."
Sansan looked towards the north of Dekang City and murmured with a heavy face.
He also knew that the day later the news reached Su Manrong, the more uncertain the war situation in Yue State would be.
But as a 50 guard, he must put the safety of his wife and master first in everything.
...
"Your Majesty, the Shan army is powerful and has captured three cities in the southern part of our Yue Kingdom. If they take advantage of the situation and cross the mountains to go north, our Yue Kingdom will no longer be in danger."
"Yes, Your Majesty, our army is unable to supply food, grass and weapons. Going to the battlefield at this time will undoubtedly be like hitting a stone with an egg. I hope Your Majesty will think twice and seek peace with the Shan Kingdom as soon as possible."
In the court hall of Yue State, the old minister Hu Gu was in tears, saliva was flying, and he tried his best to persuade Yue Jun to seek peace.
After all, if this battle continues, there will only be a few more dead souls.
Victory or defeat is a common thing for military officers. These veterans were afraid that Yue Jun was young and energetic and would not be able to swallow this sigh of relief.
After leaving the court, Yue Jun could not sit still and stared at the memorial in front of him with a sad face.
It's been two full days...
If it is postponed for another two days, even with the blessing of Qianzhou weapons, nothing will be changed.
"Brother Imperial, count the time. Sister must have received my letter. Let's wait a little longer."
Ajiang couldn't help but feel heartbroken when he saw his only relative in the world with such a lonely and sad expression.
When the emperor's brother's legs were ulcerated and he thought he was about to die soon, he never showed such an expression.
But now...
"I'm afraid it's already too late, Ah Jiang. I want to march personally and use the mountains as danger to win over the Shan Army's breakout.
You stay in the palace and stabilize the court for me. If Qianzhou sends weapons, it would be better to arrange for the army to send the weapons directly there."
"Brother Imperial, your body is just in good condition and you cannot lead a military expedition in person."
Ajiang shook his head and persuaded worriedly.
The battlefield is already extremely dangerous, and the Shan army is extremely powerful. If they come over the mountain, the emperor's brother, who is the commander of the expedition, will be the first to bear the brunt.
"It doesn't matter, I'm just trying to stabilize the morale of the army. After successive defeats, I'm afraid the morale of the army has become unstable.
At that time, I will use the natural dangers of the mountains as a shield to prevent a direct confrontation with the Shan Army."
Yue Jun looked at A Jiang, who had always been indifferent. Hearing that he wanted to lead a military expedition in person, he could object so strongly. He was very pleased and patted his shoulder.
Ah Jiang, who had never believed in gods and Buddhas and had been a hostage in Dekang for many years, never expected to be blessed by the gods, was thinking silently in his heart at this time.
I hope God will bless Su Manrong and let him receive his request for help as soon as possible...
At this time, Su Manrong and others who entered the boundary of Youzhou felt a heavy and sad atmosphere before entering the city gate.
Originally, she was still telling the two children vivid stories, but now she did not dare to make any noise in the carriage, which made the two children laugh.
"Husband, they are kneeling in front of the city gate and looking in the direction of Dekang. Are they chanting sutras for Emperor Dekang?"
Su Manrong lowered her voice and asked in confusion.
"Yes."
"Is that organized by the government?" Su Manrong thought that Youzhou was so far away from Dekang Imperial City. These people probably didn't even know what Emperor Dekang looked like. They actually knelt outside the city gate and looked at Dekang in the south...
"No, Emperor Dekang came to the throne in troubled times and was the heart of the people. So these people should kneel here voluntarily and voluntarily."
Xiao Chengxian looked around, looking at the people kneeling on the ground, all grieving from the bottom of their hearts.
"Alas, the untimely death of Emperor Dekang is a pain in the hearts of the people across the country."
Su Manrong sighed heavily, although he didn't quite understand what kind of existence Emperor Dekan was in the hearts of the people.
But seeing the scene in front of me, I couldn't help but sigh for Emperor Dekan.
"If we don't enter Youzhou, is there any other way to go north?"
Su Manrong thought that entering the city at this time would interrupt the people's prayers in front of the city gate. In addition, after entering Youzhou, they would just find a place to stay.
It's better to just stop and rest outside the city. They have prepared tents, mosquito nets and incense sticks anyway.
"Okay. Then we don't go into the city and take a detour?"
Xiao Chengxian looked at the setting sun that was shining slantingly. It was not very late now, and he could continue on his way. After bypassing Youzhou Cheng, there was a post station.
"Um."
Su Manrong nodded, and then the group continued heading north from the road outside the city without interrupting the people chanting at the city gate.
Naturally, he did not meet up with the Wuling Guards in the city, nor did he see the letter sent to Youzhou by carrier pigeon.
We stayed at the inn at night. There were only two or three people in charge of the inn, so there was no need to restrain the two children too much. Before going to bed, Su Manrong played some games in the yard with the two children to stretch their muscles.
"Husband, I'm going back to space to rest."
After Su Manrong put the two children to sleep, she whispered.
"good."
Xiao Chengxian thought that Su Manrong would always wish to be with the two children.
She has left her two children outside with him several times now.
When it comes to worrying about the two children affecting her sleep, Xiao Chengxian feels that Su Manrong will not ignore the two children for this reason...
But why does she want to go to space to rest alone?
At 12:30 in the morning, Su Manrong was still woken up by the alarm clock, and then continued to turn over and fall asleep, never dreaming again.
"Good morning, husband."
Su Manrong put on makeup before coming out of the space.
When Xiao Chengxian opened her eyes, she was stretching her hands, her face full of satisfaction.
"morning."
