"Brother, sister, Yue'er is here to help you!"
Young Master Liu accompanied his wife and children to fight in Shanhaiguan. A group of Hongzhang messengers, holding their flags high, galloped into Yingzhou City and headed directly towards the Governor's Mansion.
"Hush!"
"I am the urgent courier from Hongzhong, eight hundred miles away from the capital. Where is Liu Mingzhi, Duke of Dingguo?"
The door of the Governor's Mansion opened in response, and Du Yu, fully armored, hurried out with a lantern.
"Du Yu has met the general."
The Hongling messenger glanced at Du Yu and took out a secret letter from his arms.
"Your Majesty has an order to urgently summon Liu Mingzhi, Duke of Ding, to return to Beijing immediately."
"This matter is urgent. I would like to trouble General to inform Duke Ding to receive the order."
Du Yu was startled and looked at him in surprise: "General, my master left the city and is not in the house now!"
"What should we do? Does the general know where Duke Dingguo has gone?"
"I don't know. Your Excellency said you will be back early tomorrow morning. Now that night has fallen, I cannot rush back to Beijing right away even if I find my Excellency."
"Excuse me, messenger. I will send someone to my house later to inform my lord that he will come back immediately to receive the order tomorrow morning!"
Hongling Messenger hesitated for a moment and nodded, knowing that what Du Yu said was true.
Winter is not comparable to summer. Now even Liu Mingzhi is at home and can't go on the road. The official road is frozen at night and the carriage cannot drive at all!
Otherwise, it would not take about ten days to reach Yingzhou after a five-day journey.
"Thank you, General. We must inform Lord Dingguo that this is an extremely urgent matter and cannot be delayed!"
