"Princess! Not good!"
On Suzaku Street, Yu Jin got off the carriage, lifted her skirt, and went straight to Princess Xinyang's house.
Princess Xinyang is sitting in front of the window practicing calligraphy. This time, she came out of her emotions faster than before. In just one day, she was able to do her own thing calmly.
As she practiced calligraphy, she asked softly, "Why are you so panicked in the early morning? This is not your temperament."
Yu Jin suddenly hesitated, should she tell the princess about this
She has followed the princess for many years, the princess is her master, and the Marquis of Xuanping is a stranger who has partnered with the princess.
But how can you say that the prince also assassinated King Liang for the sake of the princess. If the prince does something wrong, the princess will also feel a bit of guilt in her heart, right
Princess Xinyang said, "What's the matter? Did your family come to you again?"
Yujin is a celebrity next to Princess Xinyang. Her maiden family is not very reliable, so she comes to Yujin from time to time to take care of the autumn wind.
Yu Jin shook his heart and said, "It's not about Yu Jin's family, it's Lord Hou! Something happened to Lord Hou!"
Princess Xinyang held the pen in her hand and asked lightly, "What happened to him?"
Yu Jin said anxiously, "Didn't the lord go to Prince Liang's fief? Just now I met the little lord, and the little lord said that there was going to be a natural disaster in the fief of King Liang, and it happened on the road that the lord must pass!"
With a bang, Princess Xinyang's brush made a long ink mark on the paper.
On the long street, Liu Quan looked at the curtain of the carriage, and he heard all the words of Yujin and Xiao Heng.
The Marquis of Xuan Ping was an unassuming person, but he was so bold that he even dared to kill the uncle of the late emperor, which surprised Liu Quan.
Honestly, he was curious about the reason, but now was not the time to satisfy his curiosity.
"Rokuro, what shall we do next?"
Although he already knew the identity of his little prince, he was still used to calling him Rokuro.
How to do
This is a huge problem facing Xiao Heng.
It is a hundred miles to go to the fiefdom of King Liang, and the Marquis of Xuanping had already set off last night. Judging from his footsteps, if he did not stop him as soon as possible, he would happen to catch landslides and mudslides.
Every delay is dangerous.
You Qi couldn't inform him at all from the biography of Fei Ge, it was used to rescue the villagers.
There are flying pigeons between the major stations. Although there is a certain error rate, such as a carrier pigeon being shot or eaten by a raptor halfway, it seems that this is the fastest and most convenient method.
It is also inconvenient for flying pigeons to fly in heavy rain, so they must arrive at the post station before the rainstorm, and have enough time to notify the government and the people who will be led by the government to dredge the village.
On one side is the Marquis of Xuanping, and on the other side are the villagers of the village.
Liu Quan could not enter the palace.
If Liu Quan was asked to go back to find Gu Jiao, and then Gu Jiao would enter the palace to report the impending disaster to the emperor, it would delay at least half an hour of rescue time.
Besides, she was not sure whether Gu Jiao was at home or not, maybe she went to the hospital, or maybe she went to the doctor.
Entering the palace directly was the quickest way to rescue the villagers, but in doing so, it was delayed to find the Marquis of Xuanping.
He has to choose between his biological father and hundreds of villagers who have no blood relatives.
"Rokuro..." Liu Quan called him.
Xiao Heng's clenched fist trembled faintly: "Enter the palace!"
There are only less than two hours left before the rain, and the carrier pigeons have to arrive at the post station in Pinglefu City before that!
In Huaqing Palace, the emperor met Xiao Heng.
"How do you know it's going to rain in Pinglefu City?" the emperor asked suspiciously.
Xiao Heng himself didn't know why Gu Jiao could observe the weather a hundred miles away. Naturally, he would not express the emperor's doubts. Besides, it was not the time to explore Gu Jiao's abilities. Villagers buried in a mudslide.
Xiao Heng said: "I met a businessman who came from Pinglefu City. He said that Pinglefu City has been extremely dull these past two days. The sky was gloomy and it seemed like it was going to rain. When I was on the official road, I was almost hit by a rock that fell from the hillside. I read in the books of the Hanlin Academy that this is a sign of the loosening of the mountain. If there is a heavy rain, it will inevitably cause a landslide, and the villagers under the mountain will be miserable. !"
It is also fortunate that he has studied a lot of geography at the Hanlin Academy, otherwise he would not be able to compile such a reasonable explanation.
Seeing the emperor pondering, Xiao Heng said sternly: "Your Majesty, more than 100 lives in Xishui Village, I would rather believe what they have than do not believe they do not!"
The emperor's expression became solemn: "If your inference is true, then in the past year of Zhao Kingdom, it has been a disaster of war and a natural disaster. Is it God warning of something?"
Xiao Heng hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, it's important to save people!"
The emperor sighed: "I see, I will send someone to Pinglefu City."
Xiao Heng said sternly, "I'm afraid you won't be able to make it in time. Your Majesty might as well prepare with both hands, and the carrier pigeons will go first!"
The emperor accepted Xiao Heng's advice, called Eunuch He, and asked him to do it immediately.
After coming out of Huaqing Palace, Xiao Heng got into his own carriage, and then he asked Liu Quandao: "Uncle Liu, are all the horses you asked to change?"
"Whether or not, they are the fastest warhorses in the Imperial Guard, but..." Liu Quan looked at Xiao Heng's arms and legs worriedly, "You're so injured, it's inconvenient to travel, I'll go. If you think I can't catch up, you can send officers and soldiers from the Punishment Department, or you can go to the Queen Mother and the Queen and ask them to send a few masters!"
Xiao Heng shook his head: "You can't stop him."
Xuanping Hou is a stubborn temper, once he makes up his mind to do things, the landslides and tsunamis will not be able to stop.
What's more, if you tell him that the mountain is about to collapse, will he believe it
He won't believe it.
He is not afraid either.
I'm afraid it won't be the Marquis of Xuanping, I'm afraid I won't be able to fight so many battles, and I won't be able to do anything like assassinating the late emperor's uncle.
"But, didn't Lord Hou leave the capital yesterday? Can we catch up?" Liu Quan was not looking for an excuse to not go, he hoped that he would go by himself and let Xiao Heng stay.
Xiao Heng took out the map with his right hand, looked at the route above and said: "The mountain road is rugged, even his mount can travel up to sixty miles a day, he will finish half of the journey at noon today and enter the jurisdiction of Pinglefu City. , but there will be a heavy rain next, and the heavy rain will greatly delay his speed. We will not encounter heavy rain starting from the capital. If the speed is faster, we will be able to enter Pinglefu City tonight. In that way, the distance between me and him will not be long. Far."
Liu Quan sighed: "It's not far, it's not far, but as soon as you enter Pinglefu City, there will be a heavy rain, and even if the distance is not far, you may not be able to catch up. The heavy rain in the fief is not only delaying his speed!"
Xiao Heng took the map with one hand: "What you said is reasonable."
But he still went.
Liu Quan was angry and distressed: "Yes, I finally understand why no one can stop Marquis Xuan Ping, and no one can stop you at all, you father and son... a single tendon!"
One is to kill people when they are injured, and the other is to save people when they are injured.
Xiao Heng's eyes narrowed: "Let's go!"
…
After noon, the city of Pinglefu was like a water basin that was suddenly overturned. The torrential rain slammed down, and pedestrians on the official road began to hide from the rain.
The small tea shed, which had no business at first, was instantly crowded.
Among all kinds of people, there is a tall and mighty figure that attracts attention.
One is that his face, which can be called the first face of Zhao Kingdom, is indeed terrifyingly handsome wherever he goes; the other is that he is so noble and aggressive that even the horses next to him are better than others. The horse is fierce and bandit.
A very strange phenomenon occurred in the tea shed. In order to avoid the rain, everyone squeezed their feet together, and there was not even a single guest sitting at the table alone.
The Marquis of Xuan Ping has never been so murderous before going to the battlefield. He is good-looking and has a three-point smile when he sees people. He is a romantic and friendly type.
Today, it was because of the anger in my heart that I wanted to cut the old Liang Wang into eight pieces, so that all of a sudden, I became a stranger not to enter.
Among the guests hiding from the rain is a gang of robbers in hiding.
However, the robbers were directly scared into quails.
Marquis Xuanping didn't come to hide from the rain, he came to feed the horses. After the horses were full, he planned to get up and leave.
He stretched out his hand and took it out in his arms, took out a purse, and when he opened it, it was shiny with gold!
The teahouse owner's eyes glowed green.
As a result, the Marquis of Xuan Ping spent a long time in the purse, only to pull out a copper plate and put it on the table.
The owner of the tea house suspected that he had read it wrong. It was not a piece of copper, but a piece of silver, right
At first glance, he is a big nobleman. Did he make such a sting
The teahouse owner walked over and counted it three times carefully.
This is really a copper plate!
"This lord!"
The tea house owner dared to stop Xuanping Hou.
Marquis Xuanping led the horse and looked back at him strangely.
The teahouse owner gestured to the copper plate on the table with his eyes.
It's less, anyway, you can give it to two!
The Marquis of Xuanping snorted, gave the owner of the teahouse a look I understood, and walked over.
The tea house owner smiled knowingly.
The next second, he saw Xuanpinghou pick up the lonely copper plate and put it back in his arms.
Tea Shed Boss: "..."
