A fallen leaf floated down. Xu Huan reached out to take it and asked casually: "What day is it today?"
"Sir, it's the seventh day of the Lunar New Year."
The relatively unfamiliar voice made him dazed for a moment before he remembered that Wei Jun had gone out with him.
Xu Huan smiled, as if talking to himself: "I don't know if I can make it in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival."
The newly appointed guard replied: "Sir, don't be anxious. There is no news from Yongcheng. It can be seen that the third lady is still safe."
Xu Huan nodded. He knew he was impatient. Xu Yin had only been away for five days, and it would take two days on the road. This was just enough time to settle in. It wasn't that he looked down on Wu Zijing. This man was brave in war, but not good at management. He had just
If Yongcheng is captured, it will probably be very chaotic.
After being quiet for a while, he asked again: "Is Wan Song ready? If not, we have to pick him up in time."
The guard smiled and replied: "Your Majesty has a destiny, how dare General Wan ignore it? As soon as the third lady entered the boundary of Yongcheng, he marched in a hurry that night and was already ambushing at the junction. As soon as the captain of the guard gave the signal, he would go to meet her immediately."
Xu Huan nodded again. Ever since Xu Yin left the house, he had been thinking about it back and forth for as long as he left.
Alas, the old father cannot help but worry when his daughter goes out to do something big for the first time!
This girl used to only cause trouble, but she had an accident and changed her appearance. She used to be brave enough, but now she wants to go to heaven. Thinking about it now, he still wonders, why did he agree to it at that time?
Once the person left, he counted the days every day, just hoping that his daughter would return safely. It didn't matter whether the assassination was successful or not, as long as nothing happened to her.
"My lord! My lord!" A voice came from far away, and it seemed to be Ji Jing.
Xu Huan turned around and looked and found that no one had come yet. He joked: "This old Ji, the older he gets, the more impetuous he becomes. He started shouting wherever he arrived."
The guard joked: "Manager Ji has always been prudent, I'm afraid there may be something urgent."
As soon as they finished speaking, their hearts sank.
The most urgent thing for Nanyuan right now is probably that one thing. Could it be that there is news about the third lady?
Without Xu Huan's orders, the guards pushed the four-wheeled cart to the entrance of the courtyard. They saw Ji Jing running in the door out of breath, waving something in his hand that looked like - letter paper?
"Sir, important military information!"
Xu Huan stared at the letter and said with a smile: "Old Ji, what important military information do you need to report in person?"
Ji Jing handed the letter to him and said, "Read it yourself."
Xu Huan took it and was startled when he read the first line. After he read it quickly, he threw the letter away and burst into laughter.
"Okay, okay! She is indeed my daughter! Wu Zijing will be dead as soon as we take action, and Yongcheng is ours!"
The guard was shocked and couldn't help but ask: "What? The third lady has already killed Wu Zijing, so fast?"
Ji Jing wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued with a smile: "Isn't that true? When we received the letter, we thought it was to report that it was safe. Unexpectedly, when we opened it and took a look, we were all stunned."
Xu Huan raised his eyebrows and said: "Quickly, call Jin Lu and the others, and let's discuss who to send to Yongcheng. This place is not small, but it's a pity that there was no decent leader before, and it was attacked again by Wu Zijing. It was very chaotic.
, you have to take care of it."
Ji Jing immediately summoned a servant: "Did you hear that? Go and ask Jin Changshi and all the ministers to come and discuss the matter."
"yes."
The guards pushed Xu Huan to the meeting hall. Not long after, Jin Lu and Yi Gan arrived to record the affairs.
When they heard the news, their first reaction was disbelief.
Jin Lu asked: "Where is the letter? Is it written by Miss Third? It's not someone who pretended to be it, right?"
Ji Jing was unhappy: "What do you mean? Wu Zijing pretended to be the third lady and deliberately sent us this letter? Not to mention whether he has such a brain, are we so stupid?"
Jin Lu ignored him. He was in charge of government affairs and acted relatively steadily. He had reservations about this plan. He felt that Miss Third was too risky and she might not be able to seize the opportunity to kill Wu Zijing. But the Lord agreed, what could he do?
You can only follow orders.
Now, he took the letter and read it over and over several times. Still full of doubts, he couldn't help blurting out: "So Wu Zijing is such a loser?"
"What are you talking about? Couldn't it be that our third lady is too powerful?" Ji Jing grabbed the letter back with dissatisfaction and said, "Don't worry, Wan Song has led his troops into the Yongcheng territory, and the journey is smooth."
Jin Lu reluctantly believed it and sighed: "The third lady is really a talented person and brave. Yongcheng has been in chaos for these years. It's not that we haven't thought about it. What we are afraid of is Liangdu. I didn't expect that we would think so.
Things that I haven’t dared to do for many years suddenly happened.”
Ji Jing said proudly: "You didn't believe me if I told Miss Third that she could succeed. Are you convinced now?"
"How can I be dissatisfied? I was just worried, worried!"
Xu Huan smiled and watched his subordinates bickering. When they came to an end, he said: "Okay, you guys have to argue later. Let's talk about Yongcheng first. Wan Song only knows military affairs, and he still needs to send someone to take charge of it. You guys
Tell me, who is the right person to send?"
The recorders were excited when they heard this. Even if Yongcheng is obtained, it is impossible for you to go there in person, so whoever goes will be the head of Yongcheng in the future. Is it just that you have enough qualifications?
After some debate, Jin Lu finally stood up: "Sir, Yongcheng has been in chaos for so many years. It is not just a matter of government affairs. All parties have to sort it out. How about I go and take advantage of Lao Wan's return?"
There, we can deal with everything from fighting to killing. These young people are afraid that they will not be able to handle it well."
Xu Huan nodded. He also meant the same thing. Nanyuan's affairs were all done, and Jin Lu's presence or absence would have little impact.
"Okay, if you want to go, hurry up. Wu Zijing just died and his men are in disarray. Now is a good opportunity to rectify it."
"yes."
Jin Lu set out on the same day. Despite his age, the old man was very enterprising. He took several deputies and strong servants and rushed to Yongcheng overnight.
Only three days after Xu Yinxin sent it, he heard that Jin Changshi had arrived, and he was extremely surprised.
When she saw the person, she suddenly understood.
"Jin Changshi has worked hard all the way, why are you in such a hurry?"
Jin Lu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile: "You don't say it, but in fact you miss the third lady very much, so I came here quickly so that I can go back for the third lady."
He looked at the neat documents on the table and asked in surprise: "Has this been sorted out?"
Xu Yin nodded: "Not long after Wu Zijing broke through, these documents and booklets were transferred to our hands as soon as they were taken out and sorted."
Jin Lu turned around and looked around. There were a bunch of people queuing up outside, waiting to be received. They seemed to be first-rate gentry and officials.
He asked tentatively: "Is there no chaos in Yongcheng now?"
Wei Jun came in to deliver the food and grass brochures and said casually: "What's the trouble? Everyone has been killed by the third lady, who dares to make trouble?"
