Duke Zhan fell ill in Kuiwen Hall and was carried out for treatment by assistants.
But now no one is paying attention to his matter. After the academy settled down the matter in an orderly manner, it submitted the submission to the administration.
The administrative department also responded quickly. It took half a summer before the approval message came down.
The academy immediately arranged for several fast horses to send the complete set of envoys' attire and appointment documents to Xiaoshan Town.
Superintendent Chi looked at the several messengers riding out in front of the window of Kuiwen Hall, feeling hard in his heart.
This was the first time since he became the superintendent that the sound of horse hooves could be heard in the academy.
Although he has been taking care of things in the academy for a long time, it does not mean that he is not clear about what is happening outside. In fact, he has many more channels for understanding things than ordinary people.
He could feel that with the inaction of the Shenwei Army, the entire Protectorate had become a little unstable recently, which made him extremely worried.
He watched the messengers gradually disappear and sighed unconsciously.
The envoys of the Duhufu should pay attention to the guard of etiquette, and they should also send hundreds of troops to protect them, and use drums and music to clear the way to show their majesty.
However, there is a set of complicated rituals to go through to arrange this, and it will take at least four or five days to calculate the time and date. This wastes too much time, so now I can only make it simple.
At this time, inside the capital manor.
"What? Sir has been sent as an envoy?"
Yang Ying had been friends with An Chuer since she entered the academy, but she didn't see the latter for several days in a row. She also felt puzzled. It wasn't until she asked more about it that she found out that An Chuer had been sent to the academy by the academy a long time ago.
Claw tribe went, and several classmates also went together.
After learning about this, she was very angry, but she had no choice. As a guard, she had no right to intervene or interfere with the decisions of the capital and the academy.
Because she was afraid that other classmates would also be found, she kept asking people to keep an eye on the matter, but now she heard the news that Zhang Yu was ordered to go to the Hard Claw Tribe, and she suddenly became extremely anxious.
She has always been a person of action. When her head got hot, she left her house and ran all the way to the main hall. She kicked down a few doors along the way. The servants looked indifferent when they saw it. They were obviously used to it.
.
Yang Ying rushed all the way into the inner hall. This time she did not step forward to take action. Instead, she stood there and said to the child above her: "Little brother, do me a favor."
As soon as the child heard the sound outside, he was already subconsciously waiting to be pulled by the collar, but this time he didn't wait for any action. He looked curiously and saw that his sister's face was more serious than ever before. He also had a small face.
He became serious and asked: "Sister, what's the matter?"
Yang Ying bit her lip and said: "I want to lead the troops to Open Plains. Now my husband, Chu'er, and many classmates have gone there. They may be in danger, and I have to protect them..."
The child thought for a moment and said, "Sister, let me help you."
Yang Ying opened her eyes wide and said: "You, little brother, aren't you afraid that your uncle will say something about you..."
Although she had already thought about it when she came, she would try her best to convince her brother, but she didn't expect that he would agree so easily now, and she was a little panicked.
The child looked at her, with a look of majesty on his face, and said, "Don't be afraid, I am the Grand Governor."
Yang Ying was in a trance for a moment. At this time, she seemed to see her father. The former governor was sitting on it. She suddenly felt her eyes were a little hot. She hurriedly stretched out her hand to wipe it away. She raised her head and said, "Then, hurry up."
Give the order."
The boy did not rush to move, but said seriously: "There are five thousand personal guards in Ruiguang City, but for the sake of suppressing the unruly people in the city, it is impossible to mobilize them all. Sister, I can only give you a thousand people."
A thousand people?
How many people are there?
How much pomp can there be?
It seems...enough?
Yang Ying's head hurt a little.
Seeing that she had no objection, the child said: "Sister, I will write an order to you right now." He picked up the military sign, started writing, and then stamped his permanent seal.
, he can’t use it yet.
After finishing it, he picked it up, made a hand gesture, and said: "Sister, here it is."
Yang Ying rushed forward excitedly, but when she reached out to pick up the edict, she felt a sense of fear in her heart for no reason. She hesitated a little. After a while, she felt her hands sink. It turned out that it was the child who took the initiative to get the edict.
The order and military talisman was handed into her hands.
But she found that a thin silk book with a light gold charm on it was so heavy that she couldn't move.
"I, I still..."
Her mouth felt dry for a moment, and she even retreated in her heart.
"Sister, I'm waiting for you to come back."
Yang Ying was startled, then raised her head, but she saw her brother's eyes filled with admiration and expectation. She suddenly felt a courage filling her chest, and she suddenly felt like she was not afraid of anything.
Um!
She nodded heavily.
She stepped back a few steps, clasped her hands and saluted above, then turned and left the lobby.
She hurriedly ran out, but before she could step out of the inner door of the manor, a deep voice came from behind: "Yang Weiwei, what are you going to do?"
Yang Ying trembled all over, turned around with great effort, and said with a pale face: "Uncle, uncle."
The heroic man stood there upright and said in a deep voice: "You are holding the military talisman of the Protector, do you want to mobilize the troops?"
Yang Ying took a breath and mustered up her courage and said, "I'm going to save people. I'm going to help my husband, my classmates, and my little brother. He also agrees."
The heroic man was silent for a moment and said, "Show me the order of the Protector."
"oh."
Yang Ying handed over the order honestly and muttered: "It's true..."
The heroic man took the order and looked at it, solemnly saying: "A thousand people? You can't take so many people away."
Yang Ying said anxiously: "Uncle, I..."
The heroic man raised his hand and interrupted her: "Listen to me, once the personal guards in Ruiguang City are mobilized, it will cause turmoil and unrest in the whole city. And with your ability, you can't bring a thousand people, but there are a hundred people."
That's enough. As for the missing manpower..." He pondered for a moment, "I will ask the towns along the way to dispatch militiamen to make up for you."
"Yes, yes, thank you, uncle." Yang Ying couldn't care less about the number of people at this time. As long as her uncle didn't stop her, everything would be fine.
The heroic man returned the order to her and said, "This is the first time the Protector has issued a military order. Remember to do it well. I will ask the people below to cooperate with you."
"Yeah, um, okay." Yang Ying received the order, but her head felt dizzy. Until she walked out of the manor, she had no idea what had just happened.
When the heroic man saw her leaving, he walked out from another side door. When he got outside, the two rows of guards here suddenly clasped their fists and said loudly: "Captain."
He said in a deep voice: "Prepare your horses and go to the office."
The guard responded with a bang.
In the administrative office, Liu Fengquan was reviewing the newspapers submitted from various places in the inner hall, but he heard the thunderous sound of horse hooves coming from outside. He couldn't help frowning and said displeased: "What's going on?"
A servant outside the door hurriedly walked in and said in a low voice: "Master, Lieutenant An is here."
Liu Fengquan was startled. He immediately stood up and came to the door to greet him. After a while, he saw a heroic man approaching. He cupped his hands and said, "Captain An, why are you here?"
He looked at the opponent. An Youting, the de facto supreme military commander of the Duhufu, was also the uncle of the current Duhufu. He controlled the most powerful 60,000 regular troops in the Duhufu.
This person didn't show up very often, and he had only met him once before when he was the acting official. His arrival was definitely not a small matter.
An Youting stood at the door holding his sword and refused to go in. He said, "Mr. Liu, I know you are busy with official duties, so I will keep the story short."
Liu Fengquan waved his hand and asked everyone around him to retreat, and then said: "Captain, please speak."
An Youting said: "Tens of thousands of barbarians are approaching the southern border of the Protectorate. As a captain, I cannot sit back and watch."
Liu Fengquan gave him a wary look. What did he want to do? Do you want to interfere in the affairs of the capital? He said in a deep voice: "Captain An, the capital has resolved this matter and has sent a second envoy to appease it. Now
It should be on its way."
An Youting said: "I know, but when facing foreigners, if our governor's office only tries to appease them without using force to deter them, can we guarantee that nothing will happen to them?"
Liu Fengquan said nothing.
An Youting continued: "I have asked the governor to let Yang Weiwei lead a hundred guards of the capital to go to southern Xinjiang. On the way, we need to mobilize military and horse supplies from various towns, but we still need the cooperation of the administrative department here."
Liu Fengquan said coldly: "Since the captain has already given the order, why do you still need to ask me what to do in charge of the office?"
An Youting shook his head and said: "The order was not given by me, but by the Protector."
He looked at Liu Fengquan and said: "Mr. Liu's Mansion, this is not a bad thing. Recently, the Duhu Mansion has been full of chaos. There are many people taking advantage of the chaos to cause trouble. Shocking Xiaoxiao will also be conducive to the administration of the capital."
Liu Gongfu thought deeply. He knew that the entire military force of the Duhufu was nominally under the leadership of this one commander. Now that he had obtained the consent of the Duhu, if he forcibly sent out troops, he could easily bypass him. Now he would tell himself that it would be better to explain it to him.
To take care of the administration's face.
However, his last words do make some sense. Not long after he took up the position of acting governor, it is hard to say how many people below him are willing to listen to him. Now, he can take this opportunity to integrate the personnel below.
His tone softened slightly and he said: "Since the captain and the protector have been decided, the capital will also approve the documents, allocate supplies, and let the towns below cooperate with each other, but..." He looked at An Youting, his eyes
Without giving in, he said: "The strategy of the Protectorate is to suppress the north and conquer the south, and it has never changed."
An Youting didn't say anything. He raised his hand and gave him a fist, then turned and walked out with vigorous steps.
Half a day later, we were in Xiaoshan Town.
Zhang Yu had already received the letter of appointment from the Dutang. From the moment he received the letter, he was the envoy appointed by the Duhufu.
He was holding the letter sent by the student in his hand. Just by looking at the handwriting, he knew it was the handwriting of An Chuer, Yu Mingyang and others. As for the past and present, he already knew it through the person who sent the letter.
Accompanying Ren Shu was a man in Taoist robes with a serious face and an unsmiling look. The man said solemnly to him: "Junior brother Zhang, I have been ordered by Chief Xiang to protect you during your trip. I don't care what you do.
I won’t come to care about your words and deeds, but if you are in danger, you must listen to me."
Zhang Yu didn't pay much attention to his tone. Others were here to protect him, and they might even risk their lives at critical moments, so there was no need to pay too much attention to the details.
And I can feel from my heart that this person should be a very simple and straightforward person.
Such people are actually easy to deal with.
He asked: "What is this senior brother's name?"
The man in Taoist robes replied: "My name is Su Zhu."
Zhang Yudao: "Senior brother Su, don't worry. If there is a crisis and I can't handle it, then you will be the main one."
Su Zhu's expression softened a little, and he didn't hear anything behind his words at all.
Zhang Yu looked at the sky and said, "If there is nothing to bring, we will set off now."
Su Zhu said: "Are we going to the Jianzhao tribe now? Don't we need to prepare anything else?"
Zhang Yudao: "I have spent some time in their tribe and know them very well. When I go to meet this generation, I only need to bring one thing with me."
"what?"
Zhang Yu raised the Xia sword in his hand and said: "Sharp sword!"
