Chapter 316: Back to the city
On the third day of March in the seventeenth year of Yongzhi, this is the day that Huang Ting is optimistic about.
On this day, Huang Ting decided to return to Luyang, which also announced the complete end of the assassination.
For this reason, Wang Xiangzhen breathed a sigh of relief, and in order to prevent further incidents, he sent a full 200 troops to escort Huang Ting.
This made Chen Xiaoting also breathe a sigh of relief, maybe there would be a risk all the way back, and it would be better for Wang Xiangzhen to send someone to escort him.
Originally, he should have gone to Gu Beiwei to take a look, but Huang Ting couldn't do anything now, and meeting Lu Yang became the only choice.
According to Chen Xiaoting's guess, the reason why Huang Ting chose to return to Luyang is also related to his current injury.
Those arrows were poisoned, causing Huang Ting's wounds to not heal now, which requires more exquisite medical skills.
Huang Ting drove back, but this time he prepared seven identical carriages, so that people didn't know that they were the ones he was riding.
In one of the carriages, there was the injured mysterious man, but Chen Xiaoting had never seen him.
Wang Xiangzhen was sent all the way to the official road ten miles away from the city before he was separated from Huang Ting and his party.
Chen Xiaoting was riding on a horse at this time, and behind him was Liu Jianping and others, and they were in front of the entire team at this time.
I can't understand many questions, Chen Xiaoting is trapped at this time because his level is too low, which makes him very insecure.
This journey was not fast, because Huang Ting and the others were seriously injured, and a little faster movement could cause the wound to collapse.
After walking on the road for seven days, that is, on the seventh day of the third month, they came to the outside of Luyang City.
But when they were still ten miles away from the city, Chen Xiaoting and his party were stopped, and they were stopped by a team of very ordinary soldiers.
From the eyes of these people, Chen Xiaoting could see that these people were extraordinary, because although these soldiers looked ordinary, they had an indomitable momentum.
It's easy to feel a sense of dislocation, like a prince wearing a beggar's outfit, and it all reveals weirdness.
After Chen Xiaoting ordered his subordinates to be on guard, he immediately asked, "Who are you?" ”
The soldier on the opposite side soon came with an officer beating a horse, this person was about thirty years old, and the whole person was neatly packed, which was very different from the temperament of the ordinary officers of the guard.
I only heard this person say indifferently: "Don't panic, you go and report to Huang Gonggong, just say that Liu Xianyuan came to visit!" ”
After Chen Xiaoting thought about it briefly, he instructed Liu Jianping to go and spread the word.
The wave of people on the other side is not easy to mess with at first glance, of course, if they can be peaceful, Chen Xiaoting will not be unhappy.
Soon there was news from the rear, asking Liu Xianyuan to go to see Huang Ting himself, and Chen Xiaoting was not surprised when he heard the news.
But less than half an hour after Liu Xianyuan went to see Huang Ting, a general flag came over to inform Chen Xiaoting that they would take over the defense of Chen Xiaoting and others.
This made Chen Xiaoting feel that something was wrong, this was a major matter that he had to be cautious, so he had to check with Huang Ting himself.
Although the person who was going to replace them didn't look easy to mess with, Chen Xiaoting was not easy to mess with either, so the general flag couldn't stop him.
Just when Chen Xiaoting was arguing with these people, he heard Xu Xuan's voice in his ears and said, "Lord Chen, what are you doing?" ”
Chen Xiaoting looked back, but saw Xu Xuan with his subordinates, looking like they were also driven away.
"How is Grandpa Huang?" Chen Xiaoting asked, he was afraid that Huang Ting was being held hostage, so he made such a decision.
I only heard Xu Xuan say helplessly: "My lord, Gonggong Huang is very good, he ordered me to go back to Luyang first!" ”
What this meant was that Huang Ting would not go back to Luyang, which made Chen Xiaoting feel surprised.
"Where is Gonggong Huang?" Chen Xiaoting couldn't help asking.
At this time, I heard a person's voice say: "Where Huang Gonggong goes, you don't have to worry about it!" ”
Chen Xiaoting's eyes swept away and found that the person who came was the guy who called himself Liu Xianyuan, so he said, "Who are you?" ”
Liu Xianyuan's eyes were calm, and he didn't get angry because of Chen Xiaoting's bad attitude, but said: "You don't care who I am, Huang Gonggong asked me to bring you a message, saying that you have worked hard these days, and he is very grateful to you!" ”
Chen Xiaoting was stunned when he heard this, Huang Ting was actually grateful to himself, which sounded too incredible.
So he said: "Then please tell Huang Gonggong for me, these are all humble duties!" ”
Liu Xianyuan didn't say anything, but waved his hand back, but saw that the convoy continued to move.
This made him very puzzled, not that Liu Xianyuan was in charge of defense, why the team was still the same as before.
At this time, I heard Liu Xianyuan say: "What Gonggong Huang means, you continue to take the convoy back to Luyang, and you have to send it to the town guard eunuch!" ”
After receiving the order, it was about to be executed, and Chen Xiaoting could only continue on the road, and continued to rush to Luyang with the unique convoy.
Liu Xianyuan and his entourage left directly to the northeast of the official road, and obviously Huang Ting also left.
At this time, Xu Xuan was sullen, because after Huang Ting left, the eunuch Xingyuan of the town guard was going to change the boss, and his position at the head of the stall was likely to be lost.
Another thing that made him feel unhappy was that Huang Ting only praised Chen Xiaoting at the end, and did not mention him, a hard-working henchman.
Xu Xuan could only hold these words in his heart, because he couldn't take them out, because now he couldn't afford to provoke Chen Xiaoting.
led the convoy forward, but Chen Xiaoting couldn't relax at this time, because he was very worried that this was a game set up by Huang Ting, and they were the bait in the game.
As bait, it is very likely to be eaten, and the victory or defeat of the battle has nothing to do with them.
But in fact, it turned out that Chen Xiaoting thought too much, and no one bothered him at all, and he entered Luyang City smoothly along the way.
It was only after entering the city that Chen Xiaoting, who felt the great popularity, relaxed.
Today is the tenth day of the first month of March, and Chen Xiaoting has been away from Luyang for more than a month, and he really wants to return home now.
But the matter was not over, Huang Ting asked him to send the convoy to the town guard eunuch Xingyuan, and Chen Xiaoting had to deliver the things before he could hand over the errand.
Because it was Dongchang and Jinyiwei who went out together, the pedestrians on the road were like avoiding the plague, and Chen Xiaoting and his party were unimpeded in the city.
All kinds of gods gathered in Luyang City, so the news that Chen Xiaoting and others had entered the city quickly reached the ears of the big guys.
But no one could have imagined that Huang Ting, who was supposed to come back with the team, was no longer in Luyang at this time.
Seeing Xu Xuan lead the convoy into the town guard eunuch line, this indicates that Chen Xiaoting's task is officially completed.
At this time, Mu Changge breathed a sigh of relief, and said beside Chen Xiaoting: "My lord, now that the errand is over, let's relax!" ”
Chen Xiaoting nodded slightly, and only listened to him: "I should have invited all the brothers to drink tonight and treat everyone...... But you've been away from home for a long time, so go home and reunite with your families today! ”
This was not like Chen Xiaoting's style, but after hearing it, the lieutenants felt very excited, they had indeed not been home for a long time.
Seeing that everyone looked homesick, Chen Xiaoting interrupted: "But before going home, follow me to the Qianhu Yamen and return the crossbow machine and shield!" ”
These are precious objects, and although they did not shine in this assassination incident, they are still controlled objects.
So everyone left the town to guard the eunuchs, and rushed to the yamen of the thousand households.
Because of the fast horses, their speed was very fast, and they came to the outside of the yamen of the thousand households in less than three minutes.
And the first thing they had to do was hand over the horses under their crotches.
