Chapter 132: Door-to-door pick-up
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
Feeling that the carriage stopped, Hu Ying's face sank, poked his head out of the window, and asked loudly, "What's the matter?" ”
The group of people who stopped the carriage on the way were all servants of the palace, and the leader was one of the stewards of the palace, Wang Yuan.
Seeing Hu Ying, Wang Yuan immediately ran forward, and when he was about to get to the front of the carriage, he was blocked by the guards next to the carriage.
Wang Yuan said to the carriage: "Master Hu, it's me!" The villain Wang Yuan is the steward of the palace, which we have seen before. ”
Hu Ying fixed his eyes and saw that he really knew Wang Yuan, waved his hand to the guards next to the car, and motioned for Wang Yuan to come close and speak.
Wang Yuan trotted to the front of the carriage, nodded and said: "My lord learned that Lord Hu and Lord Chang had come to Xinye, and specially asked the villain to come over and invite the two adults to sit in the mansion, and the lord has already prepared a banquet in the mansion. ”
Hu Ying sighed, looked at Chang Bin who was in the same car, and then he was still the same, expressionless, he smiled at Wang Yuan, and said: "Since this is the case, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”
Wang Jing is under the banner of his clan, and he still has some power in Nanyang, and the relationship between Wang Jing and Taishou Zhenfu is very good.
Hu Ying and Chang Bin went to the palace, and just about to go to the gate of the palace, Wang Jing walked out from the gate of the palace, and said with a smile on his face: "I can invite Lord Hu and Lord Chang to come to the cold house as guests, Peng Shen is shining, hurry up, two adults, please inside." ”
After a few polite greetings with Wang Jing, Hu Ying and Chang Bin entered the mansion. In the hall, Wang Jing had already prepared the wine and food, and the sumptuous degree made Hu Ying and Chang Bin secretly speechless.
After sitting down, Hu Ying looked at the wine and food on the table in front of him, and said with a dry smile: "The prince is so gracious, it's too expensive, right?" ”
Wang Jing looked up and smiled, and said, "What did Master Hu say, it was just a banquet, so how could he talk about breaking the bank?" It's rare for two adults to come to Xinye, if I don't go to the friendship of the landlord and be known by the Taishou Lord, shouldn't I be blamed by the adults? ”
Hu Ying rubbed his hands and said, "In this way, Master Chang and I will be disrespectful." ”
"Please, please, please!" Wang Jing waved his hand to the two of them again and again.
The three of them pushed the cups and changed the lamps, eating and drinking. Waiting until the wine has passed three rounds and the dishes have passed five flavors, Wang Jingfang cut to the point. He said: "The two adults came to Xinye this time to pick up Miss Lihua into Beijing, right? ”
"Exactly." Hu Ying was so drunk that his face was red and nodded to Wang Jing. It's not a secret, and there's nothing to hide.
Wang Jing asked cautiously, "I don't know how many guards the two adults have brought?" ”
Without waiting for Hu Ying to speak, Chang Bin answered: "More than 100 people, why did the prince ask this?" ”
Wang Jing frowned and said, "I'm worried about the lack of manpower, and there may be an accident halfway!" ”
Seeing Chang Bin raise his eyebrows, Wang Jing sighed and explained: "Some time ago, Lord Zhen defeated the Green Forest Army in Xinshi and Pinglin, although the main force of the Green Forest Army is dead, but the remnants of the Green Forest Army still exist, and they are now wandering around in Nanyang, which is very troublesome. ”
At the beginning, Zhen Fu reported to the imperial court that he had completely annihilated the Xinshi and Pinglin Green Forest Army, but Hu Ying and Chang Bin both knew that the core of the Green Forest Army had not been annihilated, and there were indeed many remnants.
Hu Ying swallowed his saliva and asked nervously, "Haven't the remnants of the Green Forest Army already run out of Nanyang?" ”
Wang Jing Zhengse said: "As far as the villain knows, many remnants of the Green Forest Army have now returned to Nanyang. ”
Chang Bin sneered and said, "The Green Forest Army, the rabble, this official has not taken it into his eyes. ”
Wang Jing said worriedly: "But two fists are hard to beat four hands, a good tiger can't stand up to wolves, full of iron, and how many nails can be hit?" Don't take it lightly! ”
Hu Ying nodded at Chang Bin again and again, and said with a solemn face: "It seems that the manpower we brought is indeed a little less. ”
Wang Jing continued: "The two adults don't have to worry too much, there are a lot of guards and guests in my house, I can send fifty strong people, obey the dispatch of the two adults, and escort Miss Lihua to the county town, and when they arrive in the county town, the two adults can ask Lord Zhen to send more people." ”
Hu Ying's eyes lit up suddenly, and he stroked his palms and smiled: "This is a very good idea!" What do you say? ”
Chang Bin looked at Wang Jing, shrugged his shoulders, picked up the wine glass, took a sip of wine, and didn't say anything, which means that if you are willing to send someone to us, send someone to us, if you don't want to send someone, it doesn't matter, he doesn't care.
Hu Ying secretly glanced at Chang Bin, at this time, what kind of garlic do you still pretend? He smiled at Wang Jing and said, "The prince is so helpful, Hu is grateful, and I thank the prince for his kindness!" ”
"Oh, Lord Hu is too polite, torment the old man! Come, come, come, let's have another drink! ”
The banquet didn't come to an end until it was dark, Wang Jing wanted to invite Hu Ying and Chang Bin to stay in his house, but he politely refused, Wang Jing didn't force it, and sent the two out of the house.
On the way to the post station, Hu Ying sighed: "The prince is really good, this time he has helped us a lot." ”
Chang Bin said disappreciatively: "Help? Hmph, Wang Jing is just currying favor with my brother-in-law. ”
There was nothing to say that night, and the next morning, Hu Ying and Chang Bin went to the underworld to pick up Yin Lihua and go to the county seat.
The distance from Shinno to the county seat is not very far, and if they leave in the morning, they will arrive in the county in the evening.
However, when the two of them arrived in hell, there was a sudden situation in hell, and Yin Lu was seriously ill.
Yin Lu was lying on the hospital bed, the person was already dying, and it seemed that he might die at any time. In this case, Yin Zhi, Yin Xing, Yin Lihua and others, who are children, naturally stayed by the bedside and did not dare to leave an inch.
Hu Ying and Chang Bin also entered the room to visit, seeing that Yin Lu's condition was indeed not optimistic, he retreated after a few words of comfort.
The two waited outside for more than half an hour, Chang Bin frowned and said, "I can't wait any longer, if I don't leave now, I won't be able to go back to the county town tonight." ”
Hu Ying smiled bitterly and said: "But you have also seen the situation of Lu Gong, the situation is not optimistic, and now let Miss Lihua leave, it is inevitable that it is a little ......" too unkind, right?"
Chang Bin said expressionlessly: "If you fail to send her to the capital as scheduled and don't participate in Your Majesty's selection of concubines, the responsibility is on you and me." ”
Hu Ying's body shook, coughed dryly, and turned around and walked into the room. He slowly walked to Yin Zhi's side and whispered, "Eldest Prince, it's not early, Miss Lihua has to leave with us." ”
Yin Zhi turned his head, stared at Hu Ying with scarlet eyes that were crying, and asked word by word: "My father's condition is getting worse, at this time, do you want to take my little sister away?" ”
Hu Ying grinned secretly, indeed, even he felt that it was too much to take Yin Lihua away at this time, but he couldn't help it, after all, the emperor was here, what could he do?
He cleared his throat and said, "Eldest Prince, Miss Lihua must rush to the county seat today, otherwise she will ......"
Before he finished speaking, Yin Xing held the hilt of the saber in his hand, strode up to Hu Ying, stood still, his eyes were blazing, and he glared at Hu Ying fiercely.
Hu Ying was so frightened that his body trembled, he didn't dare to say more, shrunk his neck, and walked out of the room quickly.
Outside, he shook his head with a wry smile at Chang Bin.
Time passed minute by minute, seeing that the hour had passed, and when it was time, Yin Lihua still stayed in Yin Lu's room and refused to leave.
Hu Ying entered the room again, urging Yin Lihua to set off with them. Like last time, Hu Ying was once again frightened by the angry Yin Xing.
For a long time, even half of the time has passed, and it is almost noon, Hu Ying shook his head helplessly, and sighed, it seems that it is impossible to rush back to the county today.
Chang Bin, who had been keeping a cold face and not speaking, suddenly spoke: "I can't wait any longer!" As he spoke, he strode into the room.
Hu Ying was startled and hurriedly followed.
Chang Bin entered the room, looked at Yin Lu, who was terminally ill on the bed, and looked at Yin Lihua, who was already crying into tears, and said to Yin Zhi and Yin Xing: "Now Miss Lihua has to go with us, and I hope that the two Yin sons can make it convenient." ”
Yin Xing said angrily: "Are you blind, don't you see that your father is seriously ill like this? When Chang Bin heard this, the fire hit upward, he suppressed the anger in his heart, and said: "I am also very sad about the illness of Yin Gong, but the emperor's order is the emperor's order, if Miss Lihua can't enter Beijing on time, Your Majesty will blame it, although I and Lord Hu are not guaranteed, but the Yin family, I'm afraid there is no good fruit."
Eat! ”
Yin Xing asked in a condensed voice, "Are you threatening me with Your Majesty?" ”
Chang Bin said coldly: "The second son of Yin has misunderstood, this official is just stating one fact. ”
"You...... I think you just can't get along with my yin family! ”
Chang Bin said with a gloomy face: "No matter what the second son of Yin thinks, in short, now Miss Lihua has to follow us!" ”
Yin Xing raised his eyebrows and asked, "What if I say no?" ”
Chang Bin snorted coldly and asked rhetorically: "Does the second son of Yin still want to disobey the emperor's order?" ”
"...... you" Yin Xing was about to speak, but Yin Zhi stepped forward, pulled Yin Xing's arm, and then looked at Chang Bin and asked, "Master Chang, can't you be accommodating anymore?" ”
Chang Bin shook his head, and said: "This official is also duty, he acts on orders, and he can't help himself. ”
Yin Zhi nodded, turned to Yin Lihua and said, "Little sister, pack up your things and follow the two adults!" ”
"Big brother......" Yin Lihua looked at Yin Zhi with teary eyes.
Yin Zhi smiled bitterly and said: "This time the little sister entered Beijing, you and I brother and sister, I don't know what year and month we can see each other again, the little sister must take care of herself......" Speaking of this, Yin Zhi also choked up and twisted his head to the side.
Chang Bin was not in the mood to watch their brother and sister say goodbye, he reminded again: "Eldest son, it's not early, we really should go." If His Majesty's choice of concubine is delayed, no one can afford this responsibility! ”
Yin Zhi clenched his fists, and finally wiped the tears on his face, and said to Yin Lihua: "Little sister, go, I believe, they ...... Will take care of my little sister! "He deliberately accentuated the word 'they'. Yin Lihua understood what the eldest brother meant, and the figure that knelt on the ground slowly stood up, and almost turned around and walked out of Yin Lu's room step by step.
