The people in the public office recognized him, it was Jiang Ninglai's errand, his surname was He, and he was a general. He was originally Zeng Jiushuai's personal soldier, he won a battle and was promoted once, and he was promoted to the third rank of the general, but there was nothing to make up, and he still had to be the difference when he was the general.

One day, after a long gallop, the person had passed out, and everyone carried him in with all hands and feet, while prying his teeth, pouring the whole bottle of "Zhuge Marching" into his mouth, and unloading the folding bag from his sweat-soaked back. The Titang official in Jiangsu opened the package, followed the "survey" issued by the military department, and then unveiled the "summons" outside the paper package, and couldn't help but be surprised.

The summons was stamped with the purple seal of the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, indicating that it was Yang Yuebin, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, Peng Yulin, the squire of the military department, and Zeng Guoquan, the governor of Zhejiang, and the title was issued by Jiang Ning. The date of the fold is April 16, but it is specially approved in walnut-sized characters: "Eight hundred miles to step up the flight, and the deadline is to arrive in Beijing on April 20." ”

The officer hurriedly took out a silver watch, the long and short needles were pointed at the eleventh of the foreign characters, only a few minutes away, and when it was handed over at midnight, it was considered a violation, and military law was engaged, not a matter of tricking! No wonder He always rushed to deliver without regard for his life.

Now the responsibility falls on your own! As soon as he thought of the five words "eight hundred miles to step up", Titang Guan suddenly realized and shouted loudly: "Isn't it Jiang Ningke's recovery?" ”

This shout alarmed several Titang officials from other provinces, and one of them gathered around them with surprise and joy. There are certain rules for post delivery, and the most urgent use of "six hundred miles to step up" is limited to the report to the governor and the general Xuezheng, who died of illness in office, and the loss or recovery of the city, and must not be abused. Now Yang Peng, who is in charge of the naval division of the Jiangning Army, and Zeng Jiushuai, who is besieging the city, are playing together, so it can be seen that there is no accident in which the general was killed. Moreover, make an exception and use "800 miles to step up" and arrive in Beijing on time. It's not Jiang Ning's recovery, so it doesn't have to be so strict.

"Express in!" Someone said: "Jiangning is here, 2,445 miles, such weather, four days to arrive, it's just a game!" I can't delay with you. ”

"Yes, yes! I'll go into the palace right away and hand it over. Jiangsu's Titang official arched his hand and said, "This Mr. He." Please, take care of him! With that, he hurriedly dressed up. Go out and get on your horse and head west.

According to the rules, the emergency military report was sent to the external performance office, transferred to the internal performance office, and went to the front of the palace. With such a layer of turns, it was already two o'clock in the morning when the music was folded into An Dehai's hands.

'What?' Eight hundred miles to step up'! Isn't that something new? ”

Seeing that An Dehai had no belief, the eunuch of the internal performance office couldn't help but explain: "I also asked the external performance office." There's nothing wrong with that! The Titang official of Jiangsu said it himself, and also said that Jiang Ninglai was so tired that he was so tired that he fell off his horse and fainted there in order to meet the deadline. ”

The eunuch in the internal affairs office was a little anxious, and he refused to take the yellow box. His own responsibility is not over, and he can't afford to bear the responsibility for this delay, so he urged: "You take the box!" After handing over the yellow box, he added: "Send it inside, don't delay!" ”

Andehai is not happy. happened to vent to him, "Delay or not, it's my business!" He tilted his head and glared at the pair of goldfish eyes that exploded slightly, looking like a pungent little daughter-in-law, "Can you handle it?" ”

"I'm telling you a good thing! This may be the good news that the Queen Mother is looking forward to day and night. If it's delayed, you don't have to plan to ask for a head! An Dehai was surprised and delighted: "What? You say, this is the good news of Jiang Ning's recovery? ”

"I didn't say that. Anyway, it's the most important recital. ”

"Why bother?" An Dehai immediately changed the look of the deputy front and back to Gong. accompanied by a smile and said, "Second brother, is it true that our brothers are still moving?" There is news, come over a little bit, there is a benefit, let's add two to five. ”

One is that he didn't dare to offend An Dehai, and the other was that he also hoped to report the good news and get a reward, and the eunuch in the performance office told him about the reason that it must be a success according to the order of the slow transmission of the recital.

"Wait!" An Dehai was careful again, "Why didn't the Governor of Liangjiang come forward to report?" Don't Zeng Guofan have a vacancy? ”

"Zeng Guofan is vacant, the governor of Jiangsu, Li Hongzhang, what to do with Yang Yuebin, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu?"

"Yes, yes! Not bad at all. ”

So, the eunuch of the internal performance office went back from the Yuehua Gate on West Erchang Street. An Dehai ordered the little eunuch to still close the Fuhua door, go around the corridor, and when he arrived at the apse of Chuxiu Palace, he called up the eunuch who was sitting on the watch, and knocked lightly on the door twice.

Waiting for the palace maid to open the door, An Dehai said in a low voice: "You have to ask for a drive, and if there is an urgent setback, you must return to Ming immediately." ”

The palace maid also had a difficult face, but An Dehai was already the chief eunuch of Chuxiu Palace, and he was in charge of her, his words were orders, and he didn't dare to disobey them, so he had to go and wake up the Empress Dowager Cixi.

"Talking back to the master, An Dehai said that there was an urgent twist and turn, and he called the slave to ask for a ride."

"What about people?"

As soon as the Empress Dowager Cixi asked, An Dehai replied loudly outside: "The slave has a great joy to play with the master." ”

As soon as she heard this, the Empress Dowager Cixi was completely sleepy, but she didn't say anything, and first ordered: "Take iced tea to drink!" ”

When the palace maid brought a specially prepared recipe from the Tai Hospital, the medicinal herbs used to dispel the heat and clear the fire to replenish the qi, and the iced medicinal tea prepared with honey and spices, she took a sip for a long time. In fact, she was anxious to know the news, but she deliberately restrained herself, she had to be calm and calm when facing major events, and she was honing herself at the moment.

Settle your mind, "Pass in." He didn't have time to wash his face, he got off the ground, and stood in the inner room with a piece of clothing like this, An Dehai arrived in the inner room, and hurriedly knelt down and presented the report, "Jiangning eight hundred miles is urgent!" ”

Although he said in his heart that he was not in a hurry, but at such a juncture, it was obviously good news, and his heart was in his throat, so he could not be in a hurry, Cixi's chest rose and fell, and he grabbed the report in An Dehai's hand, opened the yellow box, took out the fold, and removed the oil paper. A yellow silk rope on the splint is held, knotted into a dragon head, only a slight pull, then loosened, take out the yellow paper from the splint and envelope, inside is two yellow and one white four folds.

Huang is the usual please An, the Queen Mother and the Emperor each have a copy, the Empress Dowager Cixi is thrown aside, only a son. After opening the ten lines at a glance, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile, and the smile became bigger and bigger, and at the end, he laughed out loud, "Okay!" Zeng Guoquan lived up to expectations and finally broke through Jiangning! (To be continued.)
