Bai Yong hurriedly walked out of the room, stuffed the blood letter and the credentials into the bamboo tube containing the letter at the same time, poured a wax seal on it, and affixed an eight-hundred-mile expedited seal on the bamboo tube, and finally took out a token and handed it to He Qizhou.
, said: "Mr. He, please go for a run. Anyway, you are considered a member of the inn. If you receive the merit, don't come back."
"Are you ready to give up on this town?" He Qizhou asked.
"How is that possible? Am I afraid of their mere 2,000 people? Don't worry, we will find a way to ask the state capital for reinforcements, and we will also go to the provincial capital to move reinforcements. Not to mention defending the town, I want to march into Xining from here!"
"Okay, then I'll accompany you to defend this town. You can quickly ask the experts to deliver the message. You can also send people to the Emei faction to ask for help."
"Okay, finally we can have a good fight!" Bai Yong said with a smile.
"Don't forget to send another urgent letter to Lanzhou. It may be too slow to wait for the Privy Council's order." He Qizhou said.
"That makes sense! Leshan, you are strong and can't change horses but people. You go to the capital!" Bai Yong said.
"Okay! I'll prepare dry food and drinking water and set off immediately." Xin Leshan took the order and retreated. He was originally the best postman.
"You must hurry!" the Minister of Rites, who had not slept for almost three days, urged again with dark circles under his eyes.
He Qizhou said: "Sir, you have to take care of yourself. By the way, then are you going to the capital?"
"Why are you still going? Not to mention that the gifts are all lost. We are getting married on the 26th. Even if we have wings, we won't be able to fly." said one of the members of the mission.
"Oh, it's a pity. I heard that they are the most outstanding couple in Da Qi. The news of their marriage has shocked the whole country of Qi. If it weren't for the rebellion, I would really like to see the grand event." said the Minister of Etiquette.
"I'm from the capital, and I haven't heard of Princess Mei." Hearing what the other party said, He Qizhou felt an ominous feeling in his heart.
"The princess is a newly appointed princess. She seems to be named Xue Lai. She is a famous beauty in the capital." Someone else in the mission said.
He Qizhou felt his eyes go dark, and three words came out of his mouth for no reason: "Xu Muxue?"
"Yes, yes! That's what it's called!"
…
The news of the marriage between Xiao Jihuai and Xu Muxue has made countless girls sad. Of course, most of them will send their heartfelt blessings while being sad. Xu Muxue's beauty has also spread all over the world along with the news of the marriage. It can make Xiao Jihuai
The beauty with a bent waist must be really as beautiful as a fairy. So almost no one dares to say that they can beat the winter snow, which is the most beautiful among the four beauties in the capital.
Xu Qinghan has walked out of the imperial edict and returned home, but his official position is still only as a doctor in the Ministry of Industry. There seems to be some hope in reducing the vassal status.
Xiao Jinhuai has been to Xu's house several times and talked to Xu Muxue several times. They were just a few words of greeting. Xiaoxue's face always seemed to be frozen. But she saw Xiaoxue facing her mother in the same way.
He seemed to feel a little better after his appearance. More importantly, Xiaoxue's appearance had returned to its peak state, except of course that withered hair!
Jiang Cong rested for half a month, and his health improved slightly. He also paid great attention to this marriage. In accordance with the "She Sheng" ceremony, he was authorized to conduct the marriage according to royal rites, with the same specifications as a county prince's wedding. He also appointed Prince Cheng
Jiang Gui presided over the wedding, and at the same time invited the Ministry of Etiquette to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Tuyuhun, Annan and other countries to watch the ceremony, hoping to enhance the vitality of the court and revive the morale of the great powers.
On June 23rd, there were still three days left before the wedding. The haze of sixteen people killed in the military equipment hall had been cleared away. There were lights and decorations everywhere. Xiao Jihuai and Xu Mu could be regarded as the most outstanding students in the hall in more than ten years.
It was also the wedding ceremony at the Armed Forces Hall where they personally witnessed the marriage, so all the students received invitations worth a thousand dollars, but a few of them looked sad after receiving the invitations.
"I said, I won't go." Lin Chuan was a little angry. It had only been a month since the news of He Qizhou's death came, but Xu Muxue was already in a hurry to get married, which the upright Lin Chuan couldn't accept.
"I'm not going either." Zhang Qingrou said firmly and returned the invitation to Zhang Mufeng.
In the armament hall, staying in He Qizhou's room were Li Ruogu, brother and sister Urna, Liu Junzhi, and Yang Shan.
Zhang Mufeng accepted the invitation with some embarrassment and said, "I don't understand why my sister agreed so quickly, but what I know is that she must have her own reasons for doing so."
"Then there's no need to be so hasty, right?" Zhang Qingrou said angrily.
"Yang Shan, are you going?" Lin Chuan asked.
"I, I'm going to ask for leave and go back to Jiangling. I don't know how my family is doing now." Yang Shan was also unwilling. Among those attending the wedding, there must be the mastermind behind the murder!
Urna said: "Brother, I heard that the king will send someone here. I won't go. You can go and forget it."
"This... okay." Urhan thought to himself that if he didn't go, it would be too disrespectful to Prince Cheng. For Tu Yuhun, he had to go even if he didn't want to.
Li Ruogu had the same idea. The Tuyuhun people who grew up on the grassland also hated people who betrayed their hearts, but as a prince, how could he not refuse, so he said: "I will attend the wedding, as for the dinner...
Let’s talk about it when the time comes.”
Zhang Mufeng felt very uncomfortable. These days, his sister was walking around like a human being. Apart from practicing and sleeping, nothing could make her smile.
When Xiao Ping first heard that Xiao Xue had agreed to get married, she danced happily, thinking that Xiao Xue had gotten out of the gloom in her heart. Unexpectedly, she turned cold and cold like Ben & Gary, and was so frightened that she kept trying to persuade Xiao Xue to turn down the marriage.
Now seeing how indifferent these brothers who had lived and died together were, I couldn't help but get angry and said: "Master uncle was killed, no one is more sad than my sister, you can go or not, Liu Junzhi, what do you say?"
Liu Junzhi, who was a little hesitant at first, got angry when he saw Zhang Mufeng, who had always been honest, and said hurriedly: "I'll go. Maybe Xu Mu married Xiao Jinhuai just to avenge He Qizhou, and the murderer is the Yufeng Realm! The power behind it is even more terrifying, only everyone
Only by working together can we possibly redress He Qizhou's grievance!"
Zhang Mufeng nodded and said: "I didn't want to say it at first. My sister sat on the big rock at home for five days. Then she seemed to have figured it out and started eating and practicing Qigong again. When my mother asked her why she had figured it out, my sister said
I said two words: revenge! I thought it would be bad for this matter to spread to the Xiao family, so I never said it, and I hope everyone will not tell it."
"Well, then I'd better go." Zhang Qingrou was tough on the outside but soft on the inside. She was a soft-hearted person, so she took the invitation back from Zhang Mufeng's hand.
"I, I'll go too." Urna continued.
"And me." Lin Chuan said.
"I'll go home after the wedding ceremony." Yang Shan also changed his mind.
…
As soon as he heard that Princess Mei was Xu Muxue, He Qizhou almost fainted on the spot. After regaining consciousness, he hurriedly shouted: "I'm going! I'm going! I'm going to the capital to deliver a message!"
Bai Yong said: "But Xinleshan has already set off, taking away the two best horses in this station!"
"Are there any other horses? Hurry, we can't wait any longer." He Qizhou rushed into the stable in the front yard.
"Why are you thinking about delivering a message again? Let's go and grab two Tuyuhun army horses." Bai Yong rushed out with He Qizhou, preparing to take him to "borrow" horses from two families who might be vying for army horses.
"It's too late. My wife will be snatched away. It's up to you to defend the city and counterattack." He Qizhou shouted as he ran.
"What? That's fine, I have to snatch it back!" Bai Yong said angrily. When passing by the front yard, he casually took a postman's uniform from the hanger and handed it to He Qizhou. Then the two performed amazing light skills, and soon they were in the city.
The two veterans were "robbed", and before the two men could recover, two sturdy jade horses began to run towards the east gate.
"After chasing Xinleshan, ask him to change his route to the prefecture! Ask his brother to go to the government, the province, and Mount Emei to mobilize reinforcements. The sooner the better, the more the better!" Bai Yong watched He Qizhou rush out of the city gate in a hurry.
With a final word of caution, the next step is to rely on yourself and the "prisoners" in Shiqu Town to fight against the Tuyuhun rebels.
He Qizhou soon discovered that the war horse under his crotch was not only big, but also very fast. It was at least a quarter faster than the Shu horses in the post station. After leaving the city, although he saw that one person and two riders from Xinle Mountain were already running up to the top of Dongshan Mountain,
But the horse is galloping, and it is still full of confidence in catching up with the short Shu horse.
He Qizhou, one man and two horses, rushed up to the top of Dongshan Mountain at high speed. Among the undulating mountains, Xinleshan was no longer visible. What was even worse was that the horse under his crotch actually ran slower and slower, and soon seemed to be walking.
"No way! So lack of endurance? It's only been ten miles?" He Qizhou cursed in his heart and hurriedly abandoned the horse that couldn't run and replaced it with another one. This time he didn't dare to force the horse again.
A stallion can sprint very fast in an instant, but its endurance is really limited.
After running through two more hills, he finally saw Xinle Mountain in the mountain col three miles ahead. He no longer cared about the life and death of the horse, and rode hard with his horse. When he got close to about two miles, his mount collapsed, and He Qizhou jumped up on his horse.
Get up, run forward wildly, use your inner strength to shout: "Xin-le-shan"
The majestic sound echoed in the valley. Xinle Mountain had not yet climbed over the top of the mountain. When he heard the sound, he saw He Qizhou galloping towards him and hurriedly stopped to wait.
"Have you changed horses? Which one can run less?" After a moment, He Qizhou caught up with him and asked immediately.
"I changed it once, and this one ran less!" Xin Leshan pointed to the empty horse beside him and looked at He Qizhou with a bit of surprise.
"Hurry up and give me the letter and the token. I have agreed with Uncle Bai that I will go to the capital to deliver the letter. He asked you to go to the state capital as soon as possible to find your brother to move reinforcements. The government, the province, the Emei faction, the sooner the better, the more
The better!" After saying that, He Qizhou couldn't help but grab the backpack and token handed over by Xin Leshan, and tied them tightly to himself. He turned over, jumped on the empty horse, and rushed eastward.
"Water!" Xin Leshan took off his water bag and threw it at He Qizhou who was rushing forward.
…
"Your Highness, you must be careful about the wedding of the Xiao family." Tao Ran was sitting under the pavilion in the middle of the lake, and Pang Wan, the censor of the right capital, said anxiously.
