Chapter 204
Zhang Song received the secret letter from the virtuous concubine Mei Dai, and ordered him to send it to the eldest son Mei Pu at full speed overnight.

The virtuous concubine Mei Dai has instructed that this letter is urgent and of great importance, it can protect Xiliang.

Although he is a military commander, he can still hear the meaning of Concubine Xian's words.After getting on the horse and leaving the city, he ran all the way west. At dawn, he spent money to buy a good horse at the post station, and even ate breakfast on the horse.After running all night and morning, he didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he entered the border of Liangzhou at noon.

It was learned from passers-by that Xiao Zhuo was confronting the Jingzhou Army at this time, and was not in Leshan.And his wife, Shen Yuexi, was fine in Leshan, so she didn't know what to do when she went back to Xiaogang Village.And Qiu Liming, Song Zhen and others are all in Nanping City in the north of Leshan.

Before, he sent assassins to assassinate Xiao Zhuo but failed, so he fled in a hurry.When he comes back now, the people who may hinder him are not in Leshan. Now is the perfect time to send this secret letter to His Royal Highness.

The horse has been galloping for so long, even a man of iron can't bear it.He stopped his horse beside a tea shed on the side of the road, intending to take a sip of tea to moisten his smoky throat.

After drinking a bowl of tea, he felt refreshed. He was paying the shopkeeper when horseshoes slammed on the road, and dozens of fast horses passed by in front of the tea shed.The person on the horse seemed to be quite anxious and kept yelling.It attracted the attention of the guests who were drinking tea.

Zhang Song was startled, and subconsciously asked, "What do they do?"

The shop clerk smiled and said, "Don't worry about it, Jun Ye, it's a common thing these days."

Now the army is in turmoil, the Xirong army is invading in the north, and the Jingzhou army is aggressively attacking in the south.Liangzhou is a place of right and wrong, and everyone has long been familiar with it.

After hearing this, Zhang Song didn't doubt it, got up and walked out of the tea shed.

The dozens of mounts in the distance stopped for some reason, and galloped back here one after another.

Zhang Song saw from a distance that the leader was raising their bows and arrows, but he was the only one outside the tea shed, and there was no one else around.I couldn't help being shocked, the other party's target was me.

Just as he was about to reach out to draw the saber, a feathered arrow pierced through the air and hit his chest.Zhang Song shook twice, reluctantly grabbed the rein.Dozens of feathered arrows flew over, not only him, but even the horse was shot down.

Passers-by in the tea shed saw this scene, and they all screamed and dodged. For a while, the tables and chairs were overturned, and they were in a mess.

The dozens of people galloped to the tea shed, and the leader shouted loudly:

"Don't panic, everyone. Wu Mingzi, the commander of the imperial guards, is ordered to kill the rebels, and has nothing to do with you."

After appeasing everyone, Wu Mingzi jumped off his horse and walked towards Zhang Song who was lying on the ground with several feathered arrows stuck in his body.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Song ran so fast that he ran directly into the border of Liangzhou.It's a pity that he is not Xiao Zhuo, Xiao Zhuo was able to escape from his pursuit back then, which made him try his best to save his life.Now if this Zhang Song escapes again, he really has to kill himself to thank His Majesty.

Zhang Song hadn't stopped breathing yet, his mouth and nose were bleeding, and he was waiting to die there, not breathing in.Wu Mingzi looked through it carefully first.Found some silver taels, and a tightly wrapped cloth bag, which was not damaged by the arrows.It should be what Emperor Yongde asked him to bring back.

Just as he was about to open the cloth bag, Zhang Song suddenly raised his hand and held his wrist tightly.

Wu Mingzi shook off his hand, stood up and said to the subordinates beside him, "Cut off the head, Your Majesty wants it."

He asked the guards to do these things, while he walked aside to open the cloth bag.

Inside was a secret letter, covered with wax.

Emperor Yongde had ordered that no matter what the letter was, he could not check it.He didn't intend to watch it.But for some reason, the moment he saw the letter, he suddenly had the idea to open it and read it.

What is it that makes His Majesty care so much, Concubine Xian is so caring, the dying Zhang Song wants to stop him?
Once opened, His Majesty will definitely know.If you don't open it, it will be unbearable.I always feel that there is a huge secret here.

By accident, he unwrapped the wax and opened the letter.

After reading the letter, Wu Mingzi almost turned into the Zhang Song just now, with nothing but breath in his mouth, and his whole body was like a toad soaked in rain, frozen there motionless.

This secret is too big.

He finally understood why His Majesty killed so many palace maids last night, and most likely the Concubine Xian has also been killed by now.If he goes back, will he also die?
It doesn't matter if the concubine Xian can't live, he can still live.

He really wanted to slap himself twice.Why is my hand so weak, I saw something that I shouldn't have seen, this little life has to be explained.

While panicking, a guard came up to him with a blood-stained bag and said, "Commander Wu, you have already cut off Zhang Song's head. Shall we go back to Beijing to report to His Majesty now?"

Wu Mingzi coughed, and said to the guards, "Take your head and go back first. I'm really tired, I have to rest and catch up with you."

The guards were ordered to leave.

Wu Mingzi held the letter in his hand and was in a dilemma.

If Emperor Yongde saw him open the letter and read it with him, it must be that the head fell and there was no discussion at all.If the letter was burned, Emperor Yongde would not be able to pay the job if he wanted it, and he would probably die.Fleeing with the letter, Emperor Yongde must have sent someone to hunt him down to the ends of the earth.I don't have Xiao Zhuo's two strokes.

Taking another [-] steps back, even if the letter was not opened, Emperor Yongde would probably kill him.

It seems that there is only one way to save his own life.

He folded the letter carefully and put it in his arms, and came to the tea shed and said to everyone in the shop: "Which one of you come out, the official wants to inquire about something."

Everyone in the tea shed was terrified by the headless corpse at the door, some hid behind the counter, some shrank the table.No one is willing to come out.

Wu Mingzi took out an ingot of silver from his pocket, knocked it twice on the nearby pillar, and said:
"Whoever comes out to answer, the ingot of silver will belong to him."

He died for money, and when he saw the white ingot, a brave poor man came out from under the table, raised his hand and said, "My lord, let the villain come here, let the villain come."

Wu Mingzi didn't talk nonsense, he threw the silver to him and said, "Where is the army of King Qi's son now?"

After receiving the silver, the poor man was so happy that his eyes were blinded. He was putting the silver in his mouth and biting it to check the authenticity. Hearing Wu Mingzi's question, he said in a daze, "The chess king lion? What kind of lion is that?" ,Have not heard."

Wu Mingzi was so angry that he almost wanted to give him a kick, but thinking that the other party was a poor man from the countryside, it was normal not to know.

I didn't have the time to argue with him, so I snatched the money back with a slap in the face.

The poor man didn't know what to say, and shouted: "Master, don't you give me money when you answer?"

"Did you answer it!" Wu Mingzi couldn't bear it anymore, kicked him back into the tea shed, and shouted, "Where is the shopkeeper, come out and answer."

Seeing that he couldn't hide, the shopkeeper had to come out tremblingly and said, "What's your order?"

"Does Prince Qi know?"

The owner of the shop nodded like a chicken: "I know. The villain opened a shop here, and he is very familiar with the news from all over the world. Just ask the official."

Only then did Wu Mingzi feel relieved, and asked, "Where is the army of King Qi's son?"

"Returning to the official, the army of Prince Qi's son had been stopping at Dongji Town to the east of Xiaogang Village a few years ago, and then left to the west. I heard that it was going to fight against Xirong outside Nanping City. If you want to talk about Prince Qi's son, it is also a matter of time." He is a good man. His Majesty did not order, and he also went to fight against the barbarians..."

Since Wu Mingzi got Xiao Beiheng's location, he didn't bother to listen to the shopkeeper's nonsense, so he casually threw the money to the shopkeeper.

"The money is not for nothing. You guys are so lucky to bury the corpse at the door. He is also considered a loyal man."

After that, he went out and got on his horse, raising a cloud of smoke and dust to the west.
