Chapter 92 Invite Lord Hou to return to Beijing
On the morning of August 14th, the grain and herbs raised by the Xuanzhou Yamen left the dock and were transported to the seven disaster-stricken counties. In order to ensure the safety of the food and medicine, the Yamen sent a hundred cavalry soldiers to escort them, and the Lin family's grain ship set off with the official ship. , rushed to Wangping Town.
After the Xu family's daughter-in-law thanked Shen Ge and the Lin family steward, she held the two children's hands tightly and boarded the boat.
As soon as the delivery ship was gone, Lin Rui handed over to Shen Ge and congratulated, "I wish Mr. Shen's teahouse a happy opening. When the tea in the shop needs to be replenished, Mr. Shen will send someone to the shop to greet him immediately. I’ll send it to you.”
The tea sold in Wanxiang Teahouse is purchased from Lin's shop. The teas are all delicious and inexpensive, and the prices are kept to the lowest.
Shen Ge thanked him and returned to his residence in Chuanjie Alley. When he came out again, he was already a handsome young man wearing a dark-white plain fine kudzu cloth robe, a brocade bag hanging on his waist, and new white cloth shoes on his feet.
Seeing the girls on the roadside blushing and peeking at his young master, Zou Shun straightened his back and grinned to the back of his head.
Shen Ge, who had never worn such good clothes, was blushing. He almost walked to the alley and saw the two long strings of firecrackers hanging at the door of his teahouse and the crowd surrounding him. Shen Ge stopped and turned around. "Brother Shun, do you think my hat is on right?"
Zou Shun immediately said, "That's right!"
"Okay, let's walk then!"
Shen Ge straightened his chest and walked towards the crowd. After a burst of crackling firecrackers, the teahouse opened its doors to welcome guests. The onlookers rushed in. Shen Ge, who was standing by the door, smiled extremely brightly.
In a carriage at the entrance of another alley, Shen Shangzhi looked at this scene through the window, with tears glistening in his eyes.
Xu Chuan whispered, "Shen Ge invited Mr. Storyteller to talk about the recently popular "Detective Zhu Gong". Today, the tea in the teahouse is free. You can sit in the teahouse and listen to books for a day without spending a penny. Shen Ge is very good at it." Doing business."
Until Shen Ge entered the teahouse, Shen Shangzhi was still staring at the door, thinking that the way Shen Ge was walking, the injury on his leg should be fine.
Lu Zheng endured it, but still couldn't hold it back, "I'm already here, sir. How about I go in with you and listen to a book for a while?"
Xu Chuan glared at Lu Zheng, then heard the guard approaching the car window and lowering his voice, "Master, there is an urgent message from home."
Shen Shangzhi immediately ordered, "Go back home."
As soon as Shen Shangzhi's carriage left, Zheng Changming's carriage arrived. He jumped out of the car, stepped on the bright red firecracker confetti on the ground, and walked towards Wanxiang Teahouse.
Shen Ge came up quickly and said, "Brother Zheng, please come upstairs. I have reserved the best private room for you."
Looking at the bustling hall, Zheng Changming was a little disappointed after not seeing the girl from the Lin family. As soon as he heard that there was an elegant room, he immediately followed Shen Ge to the second floor.
Wanxiang Teahouse is not big. There are only three private rooms on a few shops facing the street. Because there is a storyteller in the hall downstairs, the doors of the two private rooms are open. There are several people dressed as bodyguards sitting in one, and the other There were several merchants in silk and satin sitting there. After Zheng Changming entered the third private room, he couldn't help but ask, "Brother, is there no one from the Lin family?"
Shen Ge smiled and said, "My little brother's teahouse has opened, but I didn't send a message to the Lin family."
Zheng Changming was shocked, "Why don't you invite the Lin family?"
Shen Ge asked Zheng Changming to sit down and explained, "The Lin family's status is something that my younger brother cannot achieve."…
"But you're not..."
Shen Ge interrupted Zheng Changming, "Brother, don't listen to the lies told by people on the street. My younger brother and the bodyguard from Pingshun Escort Bureau picked up the escort escorting Mrs. Lin and escorted her there. The Lin family paid my younger brother's escort money, which was only two dollars." It’s clear. I opened this teahouse using the escort money given by the Lin family as capital.”
Shen Ge took the initiative to propose this argument to the Lin family. He did not want to hear Lin Ruyu being talked about because of himself. However, he did not expect that more vicious rumors would arise in Xuanzhou City.
Shen Ge clenched his fist and wanted to hit someone.
In the Hongchang Inn, An Fengchun quickly entered the wing and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Anzhou sent a secret report. Fifteen days ago, the Turkic general Ashina'a led an army of 80,000 people and went south to attack the Beiting Protectorate."
"Although General Jia Yiheng has experienced hundreds of battles, the Beiting Protectorate only has 50,000 troops. Long Live urgently mobilized two troops from Yumen Pass.
Thousands of soldiers and horses went to support." In Fengle Lane, the haggard-looking envoy from Xingyang told Shen Shangzhi the specific situation of the border emergency.
If you want to send troops to support the Beiting Protectorate, you should first mobilize the troops and horses from the Anxi Protectorate. There are only 30,000 troops at Yumen Pass, and 20,000 will be transferred at once. If Yumen Pass is attacked and fell, the situation will be out of control. Shen Shang He kept his voice calm and asked, "What happened to the Anxi Protector's Mansion?"
The secret envoy immediately said, "The Marquis has indeed predicted what will happen. There was a mutiny in the Anxi Governor's Mansion two months ago. General Kong Fansheng, the Governor, was busy suppressing the mutiny and was unable to send troops to reinforce Beiting. Wanzai really couldn't trust others, so he sent a subordinate to invite him. You will return to the capital immediately and take charge of the Ministry of War."
Shen Shangzhi nodded, "The radar guys take a break, we will set off in half an hour."
Emperor Qianchang's messenger Lei Xizhou was overjoyed. He followed Lu Zheng out of the room and asked in a low voice, "General Lu, can the prince find the young master this time when he goes south?"
Lu Zheng shook his head, "I just got an idea."
Marquis Wu'an has put in so much effort to find his grandson over the years, and now he has just found one, but he has to return to the capital due to state affairs. Lei Xizhou looked ashamed, "If the military situation was not extremely urgent, Long live would not..."
In the main room, Xu Chuan looked serious, "Anxi and Beiting had troubles at the same time. It's no wonder that Long Live summoned you back to the capital."
Shen Shangzhi ordered, "Leave forty secret guards, half of them will be sent to protect Ruyu, and the other half will be sent to walk through the streets to protect Shen Ge."
"Master Hou, this..."
"The people Lei Xizhou has brought are enough to protect me when I return to the capital. Let's go and do it."
Xu Chuan had no choice but to agree, "Using this time, my subordinates will send someone to invite Shen Ge over?"
After this separation, it will be difficult to see each other again.
Shen Shangzhi slowly shook his head, "The teahouse is opening today, so there is no need to disturb him. Go and invite the prefect Zhu Mengzhen over."
In the Hongchang Inn, An Fengchun continued, "The prince said that this opportunity must not be missed, and he asked you to capture Xuanzhou before the end of the year."
After capturing Xuanzhou, King An's great cause of separatizing the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and proclaiming himself emperor was just around the corner.
He Jiongming said coldly, "Can the soldiers and horses from Xianxian Gorge be sent over?"
An Fengchun replied, "Lin Chun personally took the people there and kept them in perfect condition."
"Where did Zheng Changming go? Did he pay a visit to the prefect's mansion?"
This... An Fengchun whispered, "Shen Ge's Wanxiang Teahouse opened today. Zheng Changming went over to congratulate him. He has been guarding outside the Lin family these past few days and has never... been to the prefect's mansion."
He Jiongming asked coldly, "Who went to the Lin family?"
"The Lin family only sent a butler to deliver a congratulatory gift."
He Jiongming looked at the mess laid out by the black and white pieces on the table and said calmly, "On the day of the Zhao family's wedding next month, send someone to sneak in and get rid of the Lin Fang family."
An Fengchun's eyes lit up, "This move can not only cut off the backbone of the Lin family, but also drive a wedge between the Lin and Zhao families. The prince really has a clever plan!"
