After a moment, Hu Lin said in a low and hoarse voice: "Madam, you must also know that the Changjie envoy has not entered the capital for a long time..."
The governor's wife said without hesitation: "Now the situation is so chaotic that even Luoyang has been lost. There are many people who dare not enter the capital... Changjie has a high status now and has the entire Huainan Road on his shoulders. It is wise not to take risks easily."
.”
"..." Hu Lin was silent for a moment, then said: "Half a month ago, my wife and I happened to talk about the news that the Jiedushi of Qianzhong Road had not left for Beijing. My wife scolded him for looking embarrassed. When we saw him in the early years, he
I know he is not a good person."
How could it be a wise move for the same Jiedushi to change his surname to Chang?
Mrs. Chen, the governor's wife, did not feel guilty at all: "...don't compare cats and dogs with Chang Jiushi, can they be the same?"
"It's different in Madam's eyes." Hu Min sighed and said, "But now there are not a few people who speculate that Chang Jie Envoy has different intentions."
He explained his worries: "Madam, have you ever thought that if I ask for help from Changjie Envoy, it will be equivalent to giving Changjie Envoy the name of upright and bright leading troops into Henan Road..."
"I'm afraid then..." Hu Min's words were cryptic again and again: "It's easier to invite gods than to send them away..."
Mrs. Chen sat up straighter and asked with bright eyes: "Mr. Lang also thinks Chang Jieshi is a divine man?"
"?" Hu Lin was stunned for a moment before realizing how his wife's inexplicable words came out.
He said that it is easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away. His wife marveled that Chang Jieshi was a man of God...
If he said that Chang Jie kills people without blinking an eye, Madam would probably only care about whether Chang Jie makes his eyes sore, right?
"Madam is the man of God..." Hu Lin sighed heavily, her eyes filled with confusion: "I'm just afraid that in the end, in the eyes of the court and the world, my invitation to the Changjie Envoy to Henan Province is no different from turning against King Fan Yang...
"
"Can it be the same?" Mrs. Chen asked again.
Hu Lin seemed to ask intentionally: "Madam, tell me, what's the difference?"
Chen said: "Wherever Fan Yang's army went, although it was not as brutal as Bian's army crossing the border, it was still chaos..."
Fan Yang Wang Li Fu was not a cruel person, and he still cared about the dignity of the Li family and never committed massacres. Every time Fan Yang's army passed a city, most of them ignored it and just continued to attack the city and capture the territory.
However, regardless of these four words, it is a kind of cruelty to ordinary people who have no ability to protect themselves.
Fan Yang's army did not kill them, but there were those with greed and evil thoughts waiting for the opportunity to cause trouble.
"Let's look at how Chang Jieshi manages Huainan Road?" Chen said: "Perhaps it can be said that Huainan Road is under the rule of Changjieshi for a foothold. Naturally, she has no reason not to be careful... But Xia
When there was a plague in Yuezhou, Changjie envoy had nothing to do with it, but Changjie envoy went to help those poor people personally. What is this but great benevolence and righteousness?"
"Master Sir, can we compare these people casually?"
Hu Lin didn't answer, but he had a strong idea in his heart. The reason why he wanted to hear what Madam had to say was more to convince himself further.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Mrs. Chen asked seriously: "Master Lang, are you afraid of inviting a wolf into the house, which will lead to the court's questioning later?"
Hearing the words "lure the wolf into the house", Hu Min immediately asked: "What are you talking about, ma'am?"
Mrs. Chen pursed her lips and smiled: "Master Lang, you can't listen to others talking about Chang Jieshi, right?"
Hu Lin looked a little uncomfortable, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, yes, why can't he be so deaf...
"This is normal." Chen said: "Just because Chang Jie was able to stop Xu Zhengye's rebels in Bianshui, the people of Bianzhou were not harmed at all, and he spared no effort to help us with disaster relief. Pray for blessings... with this kind of kindness
Now, if Master Lang also regards Changjie Envoy as a flood beast at this time, then he is really a wolf with a heart and a dog's heart!"
Hu Lin sighed: "Yes."
"But it is not unreasonable for Master Lang to worry about the court's accusations." Seeing that her husband's eyes were still blank, Chen said, "There are few ways to have both ends of the world. Master Lang might as well ask himself and choose to stay in Bianzhou.
For what reason?"
After hearing this, Hu Lin sat there for a while, her heart fluctuating, so she got off the couch and drank half a cup of cold tea.
With the cold tea in her stomach, Hu Lin was still anxious, so she simply opened the window again and stood in front of it to get some air.
Seeing this, Mrs. Chen said nothing more, put down the bed tent and lay down to rest.
Hu Lin stood in front of the window all night.
Looking at the overall situation, Hu Lin's personal confusion is not accidental.
At this moment, many people are forced to stand in front of a fork in the road of choice. For them, the only thing they know about the road ahead is the unknown, loyalty and treachery, right and wrong, benefit to the people, life and death... what they need to weigh.
Things are more numerous and heavy than ever before.
Everyone is afraid. If fear accidentally chooses the wrong path, it will turn oneself and the things that stick to it into a speck of dust crushed by the current situation.
It was drizzling outside the window, and the wind hit her cheeks with the moisture of the rain. This moisture brought Hu Lin back to the Bianshui River and the scene when she first met General Ningyuan.
He had never seen such a woman before, so his memory was of course particularly profound.
What's more, when they first met, he had inexplicably caught a glimpse of the former prince in that girl...
At this moment, at this critical juncture, he tried to find out some shortcomings in the other party, such as his mind, ability, character, mind... However, no matter how picky he was, he still found nothing in the end.
This so-called gain of nothing made Hu Lin feel stunned for a short time.
He couldn't help but ask himself, is there another person like her in the world today?
The answer was so clear that he couldn't think of another person.
At this time, the sky is getting dark and the candles are almost burnt out.
After a while, Hu Lin placed an object on the candle and let it be swallowed up by the flames - that was the message sent by King Fan Yang's messenger.
By daybreak, the rain had stopped.
"Take my handwritten letter and rush to Huainan Road to ask the Changjie envoy to send troops to assist Bianzhou——"
The newly promoted Bianzhou army officer received the letter from Hu Min. His eyes were surprised, his spirit suddenly lifted, and he clasped his fists heavily: "I accept the order!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Looking at the excited figure of his subordinate striding away, Hu Lin sighed softly.
In many cases, it goes without saying that this subconscious excitement is the most authentic portrayal of the human heart.
In today's chaotic world, how many people are there who can inspire people just by mentioning their names?
The invisible human heart she has accumulated along the way has begun to pave the way for her.
Now, as long as she is willing, she can enter this competition at any time - as an eighteen-year-old girl with a different surname, and with a unique and majestic appearance.
So, does she really have this intention?
Hu Lin looked in the direction of Jiangdu from a distance. Although he had given up many doubts, he was actually not sure what Chang Sui Ning was thinking... It was still unknown whether he would be able to wait for reinforcements when he sent a letter to ask for help this time.
Although the rain has stopped, the sky is still overcast.
It has been raining continuously for several days in Jiangdu city, and the air is filled with the chill of late autumn.
But in the governor's office of Jiangdu, a group of imperial eunuchs who came to convey the order were so anxious that they were sweating.
At this moment, in the front hall of the Governor's Mansion, the leader, a blue-robed chamberlain, was sitting in a chair, anxiously putting down the tea cup with a soft "bang" sound.
He stood up and asked in a sharp voice: "We came here with a secret order and have been waiting in Jiangdu for five days, but we still haven't seen the face of Changjie... The governor of Jiangdu is so disrespectful of the holy will.
Of?"
Gu Erlang, who was in charge of the reception at the side, sighed helplessly: "My father-in-law, please calm down. On the morning of your arrival, unfortunately, the envoy just left for the army... Military affairs cannot be delayed.
The envoy must be rushing back as soon as possible, please forgive me."
"If military affairs cannot be delayed, how can the Holy Will be delayed?" The blue-robed eunuch's face was full of anxiety and dissatisfaction. The smile on his face in the first two days was gone. He simply said: "Since Changjie makes your nobleman busy, let Marquis Zhongyong come to see you.
!”
He heard the news about the fall of Luoyang yesterday... and the saint wanted to order Chang Kuo to lead his troops to Luoyang, so it was only right to use this secret edict to put pressure on Chang Kuo to leave quickly!
As for the careless envoy Changjie, it won’t be too late to ask the saint to punish him when he returns to the capital!
After hearing this request, Gu Erlang had no choice but to ask someone to send a message to Chang Kuo. Suddenly, a junior official came quickly to report: "The envoy is back!"
The blue-robed chamberlain perked up and said quickly: "Hurry up and get the envoy Changjie to come and receive the order!"
He also ordered: "Invite Marquis Zhongyong as well!"
Soon, Chang Suining's figure appeared outside the hall.
The blue-robed chamberlain immediately looked over. This was his first time out of the capital, and also his first time seeing the rumored military governor of Huainan Province.
In his sight, the girl was wearing a green robe with sleeves, and her thick green hair was tied up with a bronze hairpin. She was tall and tall, with no clear emotions on her beautiful face.
The chamberlain was a little surprised. This was completely different from what he imagined killing a female Rakshasa with an aura that was so powerful.
At this moment, he was holding the secret edict that represented the emperor's supreme order, and silently, he held a bit of contempt for the girl who walked in.
"I am always busy with things, but you asked me to wait." The blue-robed waiter bowed his head and said with a smile but not a smile: "We arrived with the emperor's secret order, but we waited more than five days in vain. This is really unprecedented.
"
Hearing these strange words, Kang Zhi frowned and said: "It takes three days to send a message back and forth from the military camp. My family only stayed in the army for less than two days -"
She always spoke rudely, and the blue-robed waiter looked displeased when he heard this. He glanced away coldly and said with a sneer: "The people under Chang Jie are so unruly and interjecting without permission is an act of transgression. If it were in the palace,
I would have pulled down the stick and killed him long ago!"
Chang Sui Ning smiled slightly: "Thank you for your trouble, father-in-law, but this is not Sigongtai, but Jiangdu."
The blue-robed eunuch's face was frozen, and when he was about to speak again, he heard that crisp voice saying: "Please, father-in-law, declare the decree."
She wanted to hear why this decree came from.
The blue-robed inner servant said: "This secret decree requires the loyal and brave marquis to kneel together and listen to it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chang Kuo appeared outside the hall accompanied by two subordinates.
The blue-robed chamberlain then raised his eyebrows and held the secret decree in his hand: "Please, Changjie Envoy and Zhongyong Marquis, kneel down to receive the decree."
Chang Kuo walked into the hall on crutches. He was about to put down his robe and kneel down, but Chang Suining raised his hand to stop him: "My father has inconvenient legs and feet, so I don't have to kneel down. Please declare the decree directly, father-in-law."
The blue-robed chamberlain's expression changed slightly, and she refused to kneel when receiving the order. This was such a serious matter, how could she avoid it with just a word?
This is a clear neglect of the Holy Will!
But the next moment, the girl in green robe knelt down neatly on one knee, raised her hands without looking away and said: "I, Chang Sui Ning, respectfully listen to the holy will -"
The blue-robed waiter's face changed several times. He glanced at Chang Kuo, who was very much obeying his daughter's arrangements and standing there motionless. Finally, he temporarily endured his outbursts and slowly unfolded the secret edict and read it loudly.
The hall was very quiet, and the eunuch's voice could be heard clearly.
The imperial edict ordered the loyal and brave Hou Changkuo to lead his army to assist Luoyang——
Chang Sui Ning, the governor of Huainan Road, will leave for Beijing today——
As the eunuch sang "There must be no mistake" and the word "I admire this" fell, the hall became more and more silent.
Kang Zhi's face darkened as she knelt down to listen, and Gu Erlang was also stunned.
The eunuch's voice was sharp and loud, and the several generals waiting outside the hall also heard the content of the imperial edict clearly. They exchanged looks, feeling shocked and angry.
The sage has a need for their Jiangdu army, but if they are just asking them to rush to Luoyang, that's all. But the sage wants to let the disabled Zhongyong Hou lead the troops, and let them make the envoy to the capital alone!
What's the point of this critical moment?
To put it harshly, this is simply too much!
Or is it that the so-called favoritism shown by the king before was just to tie you up so that you can make such concessions and be willing to risk your life?
On the contrary, Chang Kuo's expression was very calm. He only slightly tightened his grip on the tiger-head crutch in his hand, turned his head wordlessly and looked at Chang Sui Ning who was kneeling there.
The blue-robed chamberlain closed the cloth, lowered his eyes and said, "Please ask Changjie Envoy to accept the order."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Chang Sui Ning did not stretch out his hands to take the imperial edict, but stood up straight away.
This behavior was not in line with the rules. The blue-robed servant's heart skipped a beat when he saw this, and he repeated as calmly as possible: "Please also ask the regular envoy to accept the order..."
The green-robed girl still had no intention of reaching out, but her eyes were a bit puzzled, and she said: "The saint wanted to send Jiangdu's army to quell the rebellion in Luoyang, but he asked my father, who was injured and sick, to lead the army, and asked me to go to the capital -"
She asked: "Does the saint want me to rebel against him by doing this?"
These straightforward and dangerous words, even though they were spoken in a calm tone, still shocked the blue-robed waiter. He tried his best to look majestic: "...Bold! Changjie made such treasonous words,
It’s because you have a rebellious attitude!”
"No." Chang Sui Ning raised his chin slightly and said slowly: "You are clearly the bold one."
The blue-robed chamberlain was looked at by those eyes that suddenly had a cold aura, and fear suddenly arose in his heart.
And the next moment, the owner of those eyes drew the sword from his waist without looking away.
She moved very quickly, and the blue-robed waiter felt a cold light flash before his eyes, and a sudden chill on his neck.
He froze, subconsciously staggered back to avoid, and raised his hand to touch his neck. What he reacted to before him was the screams of the other two chamberlains beside him.
Blood splattered, and the blue-robed waiter's neck was tilted and he fell to the ground with a "bang".
The new head of Si Gongtai is his adoptive father. This time he was recommended by his adoptive father to deliver the decree. In order to reassure him, his adoptive father gave him some advice in private. Saints always have plans in their actions. With this move,
That is to say, I am sure that Chang Sui Ning will be able to obey his orders and come to Beijing...
So he believed it.
Because he had this support in his heart, he acted with less fear and was convinced that Chang Sui Ning would not dare to disobey.
But at this time...
Thick blood also began to pour out of the mouth of the blue-robed waiter. His body twitched slightly, and his pupils began to dilate with fear as he looked at the blue-robed girl walking towards him with a sword.
Chang Sui Ning raised his foot and stepped on the blood-soaked imperial edict, saying: "The saint is wise and has always made great plans. It is impossible not to know that this imperial edict will chill the hearts of the ministers, alienate the monarch and his ministers, and may force me to do so."
The opposite is possible——"
"So, this chamberlain must have ulterior motives and falsely convey the holy will." She looked at the two trembling chamberlains and asked, "Two father-in-laws, right?"
