The next day, Brother Jiu and his party left the palace and went to Rehe.
This place is less than 200 miles away from the destination of this trip. The entire journey is an official road, with several train and inn stations scattered along the way.
In the carriage, Brother Jiu was talking about plans with Shu Shu.
"Today is November, and we will arrive in Rehe in the morning the day after tomorrow..."
Just in time to celebrate Shu Shu’s birthday.
It's a hundred and ninety miles away. If you start early and drive late, you can get there in two days, but there's no need to work so hard.
I was tired from the journey in the past few days, so I have rested a lot these days.
Shu Shu said: "It's closer than imagined."
I always felt that the speed of horse carriages and riding horses was limited, but as everyone has been struggling with in the past few days, it has become common for horse carriages to travel 150 miles a day and riding horses to travel 200 miles a day.
The four letters written by Brother Jiu yesterday were sent to Miyun Station this morning. The postmen there will be sent to the capital. Everyone will receive his letters tonight.
"Brother Qi and the others should have arrived in Beijing last night, but they just don't know if the city gate is closed..."
Brother Ninth said.
Shu Shu thought of Hesheli's mother and son, Hesheli would not have to die a tragic death.
I don’t know if the Yuzhu in Li Si’er’s belly can still be born.
It is estimated that other people in Shangsanqi will get up.
The Hesheli family has withered, the Tong family will continue to be silent, and the Niu Hulu family is about to be suppressed. The only ones left to be promoted are the Fucha family where the Ma Qi brothers are, and Shu Mulu, where the minister of bodyguard Fushan is.
Home.
There is also Cao Yin in Jiangnan. Once the Jin family is cleaned up, Cao Yin's weight will become heavier.
These guards in the Prince's Mansion are, by chance, the second generation of Quan.
Even this kid Gao Bin is still white at the moment, but Gao Yanzhong is currently a doctor. He has accumulated several merits but has not been promoted. When the time comes, he will probably replace the Jin family and become the next head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Brother Ninth not only lucked out on his own, but also benefited the people around him.
The root cause is yourself, right?
Shu Shu looked at Brother Jiu and smiled.
As Brother Ninth Brother said, he is the auspicious person, and he is the great auspicious person who benefits Brother Ninth Brother.
Brother Jiu held her hand and said with a stern look: "Have you missed the hot spring? It's a pity that the snow that fell in the past few days has melted. It would be nice if it snowed again the day after tomorrow."
Shu Shu saw that he was still thinking about setting up the tent to soak in the hot spring, and couldn't help pinching his face.
Why are you so embarrassed?
He has no flesh on his body and is quite thick-skinned.
Brother Jiu grabbed her hand and said, "It's not daytime, what are you afraid of?"
Shu Shu said: "If you bear with me, I will go to Xiaotangshan to soak in the hot springs next winter. The hot springs in Rehe can only be used to soak your feet."
Brother Jiu looked at her and asked puzzledly: "Is everything going to be fine tonight?"
Shu Shu pointed to the guards outside and said, "It's freezing cold, and more than a hundred people are accompanying them to set up tents in the wilderness?"
Will fame no longer be needed by then?
Brother Jiu gritted his teeth and said, "Hey, there are too many people. I wish I had known better and retreated."
In other words, they have to obey the emperor's instructions...

Outside Qianqing Palace, Seventh Brother and Chunlin were waiting here.
They arrived outside Beijing after the shift yesterday and stopped directly at the Beiding Empress Temple.
Longkodo had a different identity and could bring his body into the city, but the bodies of the two Tong family stewards did not need to be taken to the capital.
After opening the city gate this morning, Seventh Brother brought Chunlin into the city and went to see him outside Qianqing Palace.
Chunlin had no expression on his face and looked very steady. In fact, he was already thinking about how to pursue Brother Jiu and his party.
Everyone from the Prince's Mansion set off this morning and arrived in Rehe on the third day.
If I had gone out of Beijing to catch up today, I would have caught up in three days.
Maybe I should share my master's worries, make a stop when I'm in Changping, and bring two baskets of vegetables?
Brother Seventh saw Chunlin's expression and thought he was nervous, so he said, "Don't think too much about it. Just answer the question truthfully."
Chunlin actually met Shengjia when he was accompanying Ninth Prince. In May, Shengjia took Concubine Yi to Baiwang Mountain. He just followed the escort and had no chance to meet her alone.
say.
Chunlin nodded and said, "Thank you, Master Qi, for your advice."
The seventh elder brother knew that he could pull a ten-power bow and shoot a black bear, and he admired him very much.
It's a pity to be a bodyguard with such a status, he should be in the army.
It's just that his household registration is in Zhenghongqi. Even if he fills up the vacancy in the flag, he can't fill it up in the palace. Otherwise, he can fill up Luan Yiwei.
At this moment, the serving eunuchs carried the dining table and retreated.
Liang Jiugong also came out, looked at Brother Qi and said, "Master Qi, the emperor's biography is here."
Brother Seven nodded and followed Liang Jiugong in.
Kangxi was holding a tea cup and gargling his mouth. Wei Zhu was holding a spittoon beside him.
When the seventh elder brother came in, Kangxi had finished washing himself. He put down the teacup, looked at the seventh elder brother and said, "What did Hesheli say?"
The seventh elder brother truthfully reported the information he asked from Hesheli's mouth.
They left Beijing on the morning of September 29th and arrived at Miyun Station on the evening of October 1st.
When Longkodo woke up, he realized that the two stewards had bad intentions. They delayed leaving the house on the pretext of being seriously ill and asked his wife and children to sleep together every night to prevent being murdered.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, I heard the postman mention that there was movement in the palace near the post station. The steward of the palace brought people to sweep the place, and it seemed that a noble person was staying.
Longkodo asked Hesheli to go to the palace to see the nobles and the imperial doctor, but in vain, no one stayed in the palace.
That night, the Hesheli mother and son were still left to sleep together by Longkodo.
However, Longkodo did not allow the mother and son to get on the kang, so they slept on the floor. Yue Xing'a caught a cold and did not dare to cough. He stayed up most of the night, and Hesheli stayed up with him.
After dawn on the fifth day of the lunar month, Long Keduo thought Yue Xing'a was coughing and kicked them out.
The Hesheli mother and son caught up on their sleep in other rooms until noon, when Hu San came to look for someone and said that Longkodo was missing.
Then Jia Si came over and said that he had lost two horses. They concluded that Longkodo had escaped against the order and frightened the Hesheli family.
Hesheli was caught by them and followed them to cover up the matter.
That afternoon, they left Gubeikou. Jia Si changed into Longkodo's clothes and applied medicine on his face, saying it was poisonous insect bites.
At the Gubeikou Checkpoint, seeing the careful interrogation by the guards and checking the identity of everyone entering and exiting the checkpoint, Hershey had a bad premonition and suspected that her husband's "escape" was a lie and that his murder was real.
I don't even dare to show my son...
The seventh elder brother asked people to record it truthfully, and also asked Hesheli to take his fingerprints.
Yue Xing'a was ten years old. Although he was not a mature man, he was still a young boy. The seventh elder brother also questioned him in private and found out what Hesheli said.
In addition, the postmaster of Miyun Station and the general manager who was on duty at the checkpoint on the afternoon of the fifth day of October also recorded confessions and brought them back to the capital.
The words of these three people all matched those of Hesheli, which proved that Hesheli was not lying.
Although Kangxi had some general knowledge before, he was not as clear as Hesheli, who had experienced it.
He frowned and thought, Longkodo's reaction was right.
Whether the servant is respectful or not, and whether there is any malice, the Hesheli mother and son are women and children, so you can't tell, but Longkodo has been a servant for more than ten years.
It's just that Longkodo is too old and is only worried about being harmed quietly after he comes out of seclusion. He thinks that he will be safe if he doesn't come out of seclusion.
Therefore, even if he sent Hesheli to the palace to seek medical advice, it was just an excuse to delay. If he really wanted help, he should go directly to the Gubeikou General Military Office.
But in order to scare the snake, Hu San and Jia Si felt guilty and took action in advance.
If Brother Jiu had not traveled, Miyun Palace had not been cleaned in advance...
Kangxi shook his head and dismissed this possibility.
Even if there was no palace cleaning, these two people would not really let Longkodo delay.
After the seventh brother talked about the Hesheli family, he also mentioned the pursuit of the murderer by Fu Qing and Chun Lin, and he also personally signed a confession.
Kangxi was not surprised at all when he saw that it was Hu San who silenced him.
But after catching up with someone and allowing him to kill someone and then commit suicide, Fu Qing and Chun Lin still weren't safe enough.
It is a pity that Kangxi was born. Although Fuqing was a son of the Fucha family, he was neither as shrewd and capable as his father nor as brave as his uncle, and his qualifications were mediocre.
As for that Chunlin, it was a common practice for martial artists to be brave enough, but less clever.
The seventh elder brother said: "The ninth elder brother also sent Chunlin back to prepare for Khan Ama's inquiries. He is now waiting outside the Qianqing Palace."
Kangxi nodded and told Liang Jiugong: "Pass it in, I'll also take a look at the bear hunting warrior!"
This kind of skill is more suitable for entering the Tiger Spear Camp or the Qinjun Camp.
He developed a love for talent.
But thinking that the remaining guards in the prince's palace were Erhe, Fu Qing, Cao Shun, Gui Dan and others, he gave up this idea.
This is the only one that can be used, the rest are just make-up.
At this moment, Liang Jiugong had already gone down and brought Chun Lin in.
Chunlin lowered his head and followed behind Liang Jiugong, not daring to raise his head. He saluted and said: "Chunlin, the third-class guard of the slave prince's residence, has seen the emperor and asks for his blessing."
"Qika!"
Kangxi said.
Chunlin became more honest.
Seeing Chunlin's figure, Kangxi was a little disappointed. He thought he was as tall and strong as Heishan, but he turned out not to be short, but he was only above average and thin in stature.
"Raise your head..."
Kangxi said.
Chunlin raised his head honestly and showed a face that was a bit childish. It was fair and fair, and looked much more delicate and slender than Erhe, Fu Qing and others.
Kangxi looked at the seventh elder brother with doubt in his eyes.
Is this really a bear hunter?
The seventh elder brother nodded.
He knew almost everything about hunting bears and chasing murderers. Kangxi asked: "How old are you?"
"Eighteen."
Although Chunlin asked this out of curiosity, he still told the truth.
Kangxi had read Heishan's resume before and knew that in addition to a daughter, he also had an apprentice, the son of the late Pao Ze.
Ama from Chunlin died in the Battle of Ulan Butong in the 29th year.
He was just a servant, and he was trampled to death after being cut off, so no merit was recorded.
That year, too many Eight Banners elites died.
Kangxi felt depressed and thought of Tong Guogang.
Although Tong Guogang is also unruly, he is like Elundai, a person who can see through things.
He looked at Chunlin and said, "How about Jiu Age and Jiu Fujin? Where are the two attendants?"
Chunlin thought for a while and said: "On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Master Jiu seemed to be frightened due to hunting. Later, the slaves were ordered to leave the seclusion. I don't know. When I saw it the day before yesterday, they should have returned to normal. The two Dian
At the ceremony, I didn’t pay attention, I don’t know how…”
