The army moves rapidly

Zheng Wei spent a few days of stable and down-to-earth boudoir life with the eldest princess at home. He helped his grandmother wander around the backyard early in the morning, and then ran to accompany his grandfather and grandmother to eat breakfast. After eating breakfast, he was taken to the study by his grandfather. Now his grandfather is old and has a bad look. He has difficulty studying on weekdays. When he saw her, he immediately had an idea, "You girl is busier than your father on weekdays. You can finally catch you and come and study for your grandfather!"

Zheng Wei smiled and took the book, and said with a good intention: "But I haven't read the book quietly for a while for a long time for a while. It just so happened to be quiet with the light of my grandfather!"

The two of them spent a long morning in the study. Alu came in with a few plates of pastries and said with a smile: "Old Lord, Princess, Madam, asked me to bring these pastries and soup to moisten the voice and cushion the old Lord and Princess."

"Come on, what's the delicious food!" Zheng Wei put down the book and waved his hand to the tray with great enthusiasm.

"The eldest princess was eating the osmanthus cake made in the kitchen today. The mung bean cake was very refreshing. Cuixi sent some to the old lady, and she left some instructions to send it to the servants."

Zheng Wei first brought a piece of osmanthus cake for her grandfather, and then she started to eat it herself. The soft and fragrant taste made her close her eyes with satisfaction.

Seeing that she was eating deliciously, Zheng Shao looked relieved and suddenly sighed: "It would be great if your brother was at home too. We haven't had a tidy dinner in a long time."

Zheng Wei may not have seen Zheng Heng for a long time, so he asked his grandfather, "Brother, are they still in Nanyue? Didn't you say when will you come back and see it?"

"Just when you first learned that your mother was happy, your father asked Manager Zheng from Yue's caravan to bring a letter. As Manager Zheng said before leaving, the caravan has almost returned in the past few days. You can receive news from Brother if you stay at home for a few more days."

Zheng Wei was very happy to hear this, "Will Brother A bring me some fun things to come back from Nanyue? I don't know if Brother A has been in Nanyue for so long."

"By the way, didn't the Yue family caravan only follow the line of the Great Wei? Why did they go to Nanyue?"

Zheng Wei asked casually.

Zheng Shao didn't care about these things, and shook his head after hearing her words: "I don't know this grandfather. It's probably a lot of medicinal materials in South Vietnam, and these are very scarce in the north."

Zheng Wei nodded, thinking that this time he had an excuse to delay for a few days before returning to Zhoushan.

The two of them were thinking about Zheng Heng and Hao Zesong, brothers who had been thinking about, led their army away from Nanyue and rushed north ten days ago.

When setting up camp this day, Hao Zesong walked to Zheng Heng and sat down, and looked at him with a slight silence.

Zheng Heng stretched his body hard and said with a relaxed breath: "If you have any questions, ask me, hesitation is not like your personality."

Hao Zesong shook his head and smiled when he heard this, "I'm just a little strange. Last month, General Sun sent a letter to ask us to go back to Beijing from Nanyue Baying at the end of the month. Why did we suddenly change our itinerary? And we went to Hongdu, which is not far from Jiujiang? Is there something wrong with Jiankang?"

Zheng Heng was surprised at his keenness when he heard his question, but his face remained silent. He asked him: "Why do you think something happened to Jiankang? We are going to Hongdu, which is more like something happened to Jiujiang!"

Hao Zesong smiled and said, "Don't test me, if something happens in Jiujiang and General Han will rebel, let alone us, even the tens of thousands of troops under General Sun are not opponents of the Jiujiang Prefecture Army. Your Majesty is reluctant to use so many troops to feed General Han. What's more, you are still in the army!"

"You are more sensible than others. No wonder you always find out whenever Xingyun causes trouble! Fortunately, you are brothers, and you can't hide any thoughts from you!"

Zheng Heng said and moved his body to the side, as if he was about to stay away from him.

The two joked a few times, and Zheng Heng also showed a heavy expression, "You also know that my father used to send letters from his family while delivering documents to Nanyue. This time, it was sent by Manager Zheng from the caravan. Although Manager Zheng in the caravan was from Zheng's family, he could bring more money. But I always felt something was wrong. I read the letter back and forth more than five times. Although my father wrote it obscurely, it still made me realize the abnormality."

Hao Zesong sat up straight, looking at him with a burning look, and saw Zheng Heng's mouth trembling a few times, and he said, "In his father's letter, Ah Niang said that his Majesty was angry that his Majesty sent his sister to Zhoushan and pretended to be sick to scare His Majesty. His Majesty actually left the palace to visit. That night was so thrilling that night, and he would tremble all over whenever he thought of it."

Hao Zesong looked thoughtful when he heard this, "Although Uncle Zheng is a scholar, he was calm and elegant in the past. It must be no small matter that could make him so frightened!"

Zheng Heng nodded, "Those days I went to Xiulizhuang closest to Nanyue, and I specifically asked them to inquire about the affairs in the capital. Later I found out that night that His Majesty had an assassination in the palace, and there were two assassinations overnight, one of which actually used a military crossbow!"

Hao Zesong looked shocked, "Who is so capable of falling off the military crossbow, or assassinating the target?"

The shock was followed by a brief silence. He thought of many possibilities, but no matter which one, who was behind the scenes was enough to shake the Great Zhou earthquake!

"Now that we are rushing to the flood, except for the necessary rest, we are rushing all our efforts to travel the rest of the time. Will this be related to this matter?"

Hao Zesong asked in contemplation, but Zheng Heng did not answer, but threw out another message, "Han Shidi is dead! I heard that he was burned to death among the water clouds!"

After a long silence, Hao Zesong found his voice and stared at Zheng Heng and asked: "What should we do if the matter has reached an irreversible situation?"

After all, they were the most inconspicuous young men under Han Daoyuan at that time, Han Daoyuan was the god of war in their hearts, awe and worship!

Later, in the Martial Arts Academy, they were taught by Han Shidi. The gentle young man who was as gentle as jade was unparalleled in wisdom and strategy, which was impressive. Sometimes they felt that compared with General Han, Han Shidi would definitely be better than blue in the future.

When I heard Mr. Xiao Han’s death, I couldn’t help feeling regret and sad.

Zheng Heng understood Hao Zesong's words. He was asking, what should they do if General Han really stood on the emperor's opposition?

He thought about this question irresistible when he heard the news about Kyoto again. At that time, he made a choice without hesitation for a long time, "You and I are soldiers of the Great Zhou, so naturally we must put the safety of the Great Zhou first."

With just one sentence, Hao Zesong understood his attitude, and said nothing else, patted Zheng Heng on the shoulder and left.

The army rushed for another seven or eight days and finally arrived outside Hongdu City, not far from Jiujiang. Many of them dared not enter the city, so they found a hidden forest to station them.

Zheng Heng received the order to wait here to join Sun Xicheng's army. According to the days, Sun Xicheng should have arrived long ago, but Zheng Heng sent Ma Xingyun to search around for a long time but there was no trace of them.

The Jiujiang Prefecture Army was ahead, and they did not dare to move. Zheng Heng had no choice but to discuss with Hao Zesong, leaving Zhang Dazhang Er and others to guard the army. The two of them took people to disguise themselves into the city to buy and find out the news.
