Silver Overlord - Chapter 759

[Chapter 729 Crisis]

Everyone was waiting for Concubine Rong to express her position. The eyes around them stared at the back of the curtain of the carriage, and their ears perked up…

Concubine Rong was silent for a while, and it took about four or five seconds before she spoke. , “Master Yan has worked hard and made a lot of work on this journey. Without Master Yan’s help, we would not have been able to get here safely. This Palace has absolute trust in Master Yan. Since Master Yan feels that it is inappropriate to enter the county seat of Wuting County, then this Palace will Everything obeys Lord Yan’s arrangement, but there is no news from His Majesty for the past few days. Ben Gong, Prince Min and Princess Anping are all a little anxious. If we wait for everyone to settle down for the time being, I wonder if Lord Yan can go to the county to inquire about His Majesty’s news. ?”

Seeing that Concubine Rong Gui lowered her posture in public, Yan Liqiang didn’t get any tougher, and also slowed down, “Don’t worry, madam, when we get down, I will personally go to Wuting County to see if there is any news from Your Majesty. “Yeah

!

” Concubine Rong answered in the carriage, and then looked at the dead eunuch, her tone suddenly became severe, “Jiang Yun, Master Yan is loyal, although you have a high status in the palace, but in the It’s Master Yan who has the final say, you must not be rude to Master Yan, and you have to pay attention to what you say in the future, don’t be suspicious, make people feel cold, and apologize to Master Yan!” The

dead eunuch’s expression changed in the blink of an eye, more than Turning the book is still fast, he said with a bitter face, and said in a hoarse voice, “This old servant sees the empress, King Min and the princess who are working hard on the road, and also wants to share her worries for the empress and let the empress have a good rest. I don’t have any suspicions about Sir Yan. If the old slave said something wrong just now, he is also outspoken and has no malice. Lord Yan has a large number of adults, please don’t mind…” The dead eunuch said, slapped a mosquito, and lightly slapped his face from side to side. He tapped twice, “It’s all my mouth, it’s all my mouth…”

Yan Liqiang just glanced at the dead eunuch, and stopped talking, turned around and came to the front of the team, and continued to lead the team forward, no more Entering the county seat of Wuting County again, but after passing through the county seat, and after continuing to walk for seven or eight miles, I saw that the number of refugees on the road was decreasing, so I stopped and found a mound next to the official road and backed by a green hill to settle down. Let everyone camp here and rest.

If it is Yan Liqiang’s idea, he will definitely not rest for a moment, directly rush through Wuting County, go as far as possible, at least leave Hualan County, because at this time, the closer you are to Gyeonggi, the more chaotic it is, but Many people in this team are ordinary sergeants, as well as a group of craftsmen and maids. They have been running for two days and two nights, but they have not slept well. Regardless of their mental and physical health, they are already exhausted. It is impossible to take a rest. , so had to stop.

But when he settled down here, Yan Liqiang kept running, and directly called the guards of the four palaces to follow him, riding a rhinoceros horse, and then detoured back to Wuting County to inquire about the news, and the reason why he called the guards of the palace to follow him was because I just want to make Concubine Rong Gui and others feel at ease. If I hear any news, even if Yan Li doesn’t tell me, Concubine Rong Gui will naturally know.

…

When Yan Liqiang stepped on the official road and left,

the dead eunuch Jiang Gonggong stood in the shade of a tree to the northwest of the mound where everyone was camping, squinting and looking at Yan Liqiang with a trace of hatred. The guards stirred up a cloud of smoke and dust on the road, hoofs like thunder, and rushed towards Wuting County, until Yan Liqiang and others turned around the forest more than a mile away and disappeared, the dead eunuch spit fiercely towards the ground. He spit and cursed in a low voice.

“Bah, that day in the imperial capital, even if Eunuch Liu saw our family, he was polite to our family. You are a hairy boy, what kind of thing, you dare to yell at our family, you really are our family. Afraid of you? What is the prince and young master, what is Qi Yun’s supervisor, what is the title, and it is not a reward from His Majesty. What are you? You are not the same as our family. You are just a dog by His Majesty’s side. “…”

The dead eunuch scolded a few words here alone, and then returned to the station, found one of his confidant guards, pulled the guard to a hidden place, and took out a small roll of rolled up paper tags and A seal and handed it to the confidant, “You go to Wuting County in a while, don’t let people know, remember to enter through another city gate, don’t run into that surnamed Yan, and then send this letter to the county. The post house, show the seal of our family to the post man of the post house, and let the post house send this letter to Xu Taizhong, the county governor of Hualan County, with a flying letter, do you understand?”

“Father-in-law, you are…” The confidant guard took the things from the eunuch’s hand, but he still asked a little hesitantly, “Lord Yan instructed us… not to reveal whereabouts, if this is done, if it is known to Mrs. Yan I’m afraid… I’m afraid…”

“The sky is falling down and our house is still standing, what are you afraid of?” The dead eunuch rolled his triangular eyes and glared at the guard, his eyes flashing with a cold light, and his tone was full of threats. In just a few days, could it be that you dare not listen to our family’s words…”

“My subordinates dare not!” The guard hurriedly bowed his head.

“This Xu Taizhong is known to our family and is loyal to the imperial court. Once he learns that the Empress and King Min are here, he will definitely send troops to pick us up. It’s better than relying on that surnamed Yan now. The head of the horse surnamed Yan is Zhan. The surnamed Yan is domineering and unreliable at a young age. If he has any evil intentions on the road, who can cure him? I don’t think even Elder Liu is his opponent. Xu Taizhong The

sooner we send troops here, the sooner we’ll be safe…”

“This… Does the maiden know?” The

dead eunuch’s eyes flickered, and he casually responded, “Our family is to work for the maiden, of course the maiden knows!”

Hearing that Niangniang also knew that the guard didn’t say anything, and immediately took the order, “Yes, this subordinate obeys the order, and will send this letter immediately!”

“Well, remember, you don’t ride a horse, so as not to attract other people’s attention, I remember you. Qinggong is not bad, this distance shouldn’t be too far!”

“Father-in-law rest assured…”

Yan

Liqiang led the people, and in just a while, they arrived at the West Gate of Wuting County.

Outside the west city gate, there were also a large number of refugees gathered under the city wall. This time, because there were only five people, when Yan Liqiang returned, there was no commotion. They stopped them, and only after Yan Liqiang took out a badge of the head of the Imperial Mabu Division, they let Yan Liqiang and the others enter the city.

Yan Liqiang was on his way to the county government office, and found that the county town was full of smog, chickens and dogs jumped, there were fights in restaurants, guns were fired on the street, and there were people who cried that their homes were stolen by thieves and wanted to report to the officials. I encountered several cases. , This situation made Yan Liqiang frown.

When he arrived at the county office, he took out the waist badge of the head of the Mabu Division, and the county magistrate hurriedly came out, respectfully welcoming Yan Liqiang and others to the backyard of the county office, and serving tea…

After a few words, that magistrate One question and three I don’t know, since the rise of the beacon smoke in the imperial capital, the magistrate is also stunned and anxious, but he doesn’t know what to do. There is absolutely no substantive news from the county governor of Hualan County. What comes is empty talk about protecting the country and the people, but the refugees who have fled from the western part of Beijing are surging. As for other information about His Majesty the Emperor He had never heard of the news, and even thought in his heart that His Majesty the Emperor was dead, and no one in the court and ministers had survived. As for the news in Huizhou, he knew a little. Now millions of refugees are pouring in, and they are together with Beijing and Xiji. Hualan County, Tonghe County, and Yushan County, which border Huizhou, are in chaos, and security incidents are emerging one after another

. I’m hungry and irritable, why didn’t the county magistrate open the official warehouse for relief, if those refugees started to make trouble, the Wuting county town would be destroyed in an instant, and the life of the adults might not be guaranteed!” Seeing this Wuting county magistrate is an honest man , not bad, Yan Liqiang had to kindly remind, “I entered the city from the west gate just now, and along the way I have seen that the security in the county town has deteriorated very seriously, and it is in danger. Almost a spark can ignite, if the adults hesitate, I am afraid it will be too late for the big change!”

“This… There is a little food in the official warehouse in the county seat, but not much…” The county magistrate in his fifties looked at Yan Liqiang with an embarrassed expression, and said submissively, “I know what your lord means, it’s just… …It’s just that I can’t decide the use of these grains. I received a notification from the county governor the day before yesterday, and the governor told me to take good care of these grains, so that I can use them as a backup for the army to rescue Gyeonggi. The army rescues Gyeonggi. I am afraid that I will not be able to protect the top of my head. I want to wait two more days. If the governor and the county governor send a large army, the situation in this county will probably be better, and the refugees will not dare to make trouble. “…”

Yan Liqiang looked at the county magistrate helplessly, the magistrate’s cautious and submissive character, if he could live in peace on a peaceful day, he would not go wrong, but in front of him, after the imperial court was over, the whole world had turned upside down, he still This kind of temperament is definitely a disaster rather than a blessing.

If this county magistrate is a bully and corrupt official with a bad stomach, it would be fine. Yan Liqiang slashed him with a knife, and it would not be difficult to open the official warehouse directly, but this guy is still an honest man, usually conscientious and conscientious, and there are no bad thoughts in his mind. Let Yan Liqiang not even find a chance to start.

“Isn’t the magistrate just now wondering why I came to Wuting County, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com To tell you the truth, I was not the first to be sent by His Majesty’s Southern Tour, but I just escaped from the Imperial Capital City. There are not many living people, and I don’t know how many people in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty survived. The imperial court is over, and the reinforcements sent by the governor’s office and the county governor’s office you are waiting for may never come again. What to do, decide for yourself, I’ll leave…” Yan Liqiang said, regardless of the county magistrate’s sudden change of face, he cupped his hands, stood up, and said goodbye.

“My lord… What did your lord say… The imperial court is over…” The county magistrate stood up tremblingly and stammered.

“The palace has been destroyed, and few ministers in the court have survived. Your Majesty doesn’t know where he is now. Isn’t this court over?”

“Then now…now…”

“If I were the county magistrate, you would open the official warehouse now to appease the refugees, and then immediately go incognito with your family to escape, leave this Hualan County, and find a safe place to settle down again. I am afraid that Wuting County will also be affected by the catastrophe in the future, do you want to sit back and wait for death by staying here?”

Seeing that the county magistrate was standing dumbfounded by his own words, Yan Liqiang didn’t say any more, and took him directly. With a few guards, I left the official office…
