Chapter 56 Return to Beijing
When the horse thief dispersed, Zhao Ze sat on the ground. After a long time, he saw Ouyangchun crawling out of the dead. The two were not far away. Zhao Ze waved to Ouyang Chun, "Master Ouyang, are you all right?"
Ouyang Chun wiped his face, spit and replied, "You can't die, brother, don't worry."
When Zhao Ze heard Ouyang Chun call himself a brother, his heart was hot. He stood up from the ground, walked towards Ouyang Chun, and helped Ouyang Chun, who was a little lame, walk to the roadside. At this time, Fu Bi and Wu Liang also rushed side by side.
After the meeting, Wu Liang shook his sleeves and said seriously, "I just had a gossip called a desperate life. I met a noble to help me today."
Fong continued, "Mr. Wu is right. Zhao Ze, you and I really want to thank someone today."
Zhao Ze nodded, "But I don't know where this person is. I saw him jump into the enemy's battle before."
Wu Liang stretched out a finger, first pointed straight to the sky, and then drew a circle in the air. His figure turned to Hou Pingxi's Hummer on the roadside. Everyone looked together and saw a man full of blood sitting there, allowing Hou Pingxi to wipe his body with silk cloth.
When the blood stains on the man's face were wiped off, Zhao Ze was surprised to find that it was his sworn brother Hou Zhong. Seeing this, Zhao Ze quickly ran over and bowed deeply to Hou Zhong, "Thank you for saving my life. I can't forget it."
When Hou Zhong saw that it was Zhao Ze, he quickly took Zhao Ze's hand in his heart. "Brother, you are really here. It seems that the rumors in the government office are true."
Zhao Ze embarrassedly returned and said, "The rich man once told me not to mention this matter to anyone, so I didn't dare to tell my brother. Please forgive me."
Hou Zhong didn't care too much. He quickly took over the words and said, "The eldest brother is also a man in the officialdom. Naturally, he knows such rules. His younger brother is right. By the way, the rich man, they are fine."
Before Hou Zhong's words fell, Fu Bi and Wu Liang came over. Ouyang Chun limped behind, and everyone saluted Hou Zhong one by one.
Hou Zhong wanted to stand up and return the salute. Fu Bi pressed his shoulder and said, "Don't move the Hou command. I saw a big war just now. If it hadn't been for Hou's command, you would have sacrificed your life and death, and the brothers would have worked hard to move forward. Next year's today is the day we wait for. I should thank the Hou commander and the brothers."
Hearing Fu Bi mention the brothers, Hou Zhong remembered that two of the four personal soldiers who came from him in a war just now died. The remaining two were seriously injured and were stabbed in the back, but fortunately it was a skin injury. However, at the thought of the death of his own soldiers who had been with him for so long, Hou Zhong's expression suddenly faded.
Seeing this scene, Fubi quickly comforted him, "Commander Hou is relieved. Whether it is a dead or an injured general, the court will definitely have a satisfactory way. I am willing to guarantee it with a black gauze on my head."
Just as everyone was resting in place, the rescue army of Luzhou Prefecture arrived before sunset. Li Chuhou, the magistrate, personally led the troops and came over non-stop. After seeing the dead bodies on the ground, I couldn't help but be shocked that the imperial envoy was attacked in the territory under my jurisdiction and almost died. If this was published by the imperial historians of the imperial court, my His career was coming to an end. The more Li Chuhou thought about it, the more scared he was. The more he thought about it, the more worried he was. When he saw Fu Bi, he was still worried. Fu Bi would embarrass him face to face.
Unexpectedly, Fu Bi didn't say anything when he saw him. He just smiled and said, "I will explain this matter to your majesty, which has nothing to do with Lord Li, but my departure back to Beijing can't be delayed any longer. Since I have arrived here, please ask Lord Li to escort me back. Beijing is well. You can take the injured back to Luzhou for treatment first, and wait for the court to discuss the solution before arranging it separately."
After Li Chuhou thanked him a lot, he began to deal with the matter of Fubi going back on the road. Because Fu Bi was in a hurry to return to Beijing, he had to quickly understand what was going on in and out of the accident. When he roughly understood it, he knew that he still had to thank Hou Zhong's family. Otherwise, he would take the blame. Thinking of this, Li Chuhou's eyes turned his mind. Li thought of an idea and immediately asked Hou Zhong to come and listen to the order.
Luzhou's reinforcements camped three miles east of Sanjia Village and played torches at night.
After Hou Zhong washed, he went to see the magistrate and the supervisor. The meaning of the magistrate Li Chuhou obviously asked Hou Zhong to lead an army to escort Fu Bi back to Beijing. Of course, Hou's father could also accompany him. With these two guards, Li Chuhou was much more relieved. Hou Zhong did everything. After receiving the order, he went down to prepare for the departure of the army.
After a night of hurried rest, Fubi and his party went back on the road the next morning. This time, Hou Zhong led a horse foot army of nearly 1,000 people on the road, blowing and beating banners along the way. It took more than ten days to arrive at Yingtianfu, Nanjing in the Song Dynasty. The local magistrate Minghao led the city's officials out of the city to meet them and let Ming The picker was surprised that the original brightly armored imperial guard turned into a plain-dressed local defenders. There were only countless forbidden soldiers in it, and those soldiers looked tired.
Like the last time when he passed through Yingtianfu, Fubi still insisted on living in the official post in the south of the city. The only difference was that Fubi went to the banquet set up by local officials. During the banquet, Minghao asked Fubi how his trip was good. Fu Bi only said that there were some things that he had to return to Beijing to tell His Majesty that he did not talk about business on such a happy day today, but just drank. Alcohol, alcohol.
Just as Fubi and Minghao were drunk, Zhao Ze, who lived in the official post in the south of the city, suddenly woke up from his dream and suddenly found Wu Liang as if he had lost something and asked, "Mr. Wu, were there ten people when we came out?"
Wu Liang said, "That's right, what's wrong?"
Zhao Ze replied, "After the battle between the three villages, there are only three people left. I always feel that there is something missing."
Wu Liang took a look at Zhao Ze and said, "Son, aren't the remaining three people you, me, and Master Ouyang? What else is missing?"
Zhao Ze shook his head and said, "I always feel that one person is missing!"
Wu Liang comforted and said, "The prince is more careful. Go back and have a rest. I have to go to Beijing tomorrow. I think there will be more things in Beijing. If you don't nourish your spirit, you won't be able to cope with it."
Zhao Ze hummed, but he still didn't expect anything missing. He turned around and left Wu Liang's room.
When Wu Liang saw that Zhao Ze really went back, he said to himself, "Oh, Wu Er, Wu Er, if you die, you will die. I won't mention you in front of the prince, otherwise it will affect the overall situation. May you bless all the best in our capital with the spirit of heaven and sleep well."
The next morning, after Fubi's imperial guard made a whole bunch, they went out of the west gate of Yingtianfu and headed for the capital. The vast team of imperial envoys walked in front of the people of Yingtianfu, which made the whole city sigh and exclaim. Even many children of Shilin walked out of their homes to watch, hoping to take advantage of the great power of the imperial envoy. In the coming year, I will be able to take the high school entrance examination next year.
The imperial guard of honor passed through the city and left Yingtianfu all the way to the west. This journey seemed to be very short, and it took nearly two days. On this day, Fubi and Zhao Ze were halfway to the game, suddenly heard Hou Zhong outside the car say, "Your Excellency, the capital is about to arrive, and you can already see the city."
Fu Bi raised his hand and dropped a white son, which was right between Zhao Ze's head and tail.
"I lost" Zhao Ze put down the celadon jar with chess pieces.
"Don't worry, before you get to the gate, Brother Zhao, you still have a chance," Fu Bi joked.
"What do you call me, Lord Fu, but I dare not do it." Zhao Ze looked at Fu Bi with a smile.
Fu Bi smiled and said no. It was not until the guard of honor came to the lower Ma Pavilion in front of Nanxun's door that he told Zhao Ze, "Walking in the back of Beijing is also like the game between you and me. Remember my words, Zhao Ze!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Bi got up and left the sedan chair. After finishing his official uniform, he walked to the south Xunmen with the board in his hand. He was waiting for a father-in-law to send a message in the palace not far away. When he saw Fu Bi, he greeted him with a smile, "Lord Fu, our family has seen you again. Thank you worked hard all the way."
Fubi respectfully returned a salute, "Didn't Grandpa Li work in the princess's hall? Why do you have time to pick me up today?"
This Eunuch Li is Li Xian, who previously sent a secret edict to Fu Bi. Li Xian smiled and said, "Your excellency has been away from Beijing for more than a month. Our family has also made up a yellow door recently. Please take care of it in the future."
Fu Bi nodded and signaled that we could go. Li Xian would quickly lead Fu Bi to look at the city gate.
And Zhao Ze had to look at the sky and stay where he was, hoping that the emperor's father could announce him to the Great Inner Dynasty as soon as possible.
