Chapter 43
The original trip back to Beijing was delayed for two days and two days.

Qin Ruizhi, who had never believed in gods and Buddhas, also wanted to find a temple to worship and burn some incense for good luck.

Unfortunately, the rain was heavy and she couldn't go anywhere, so she could only spend her days practicing martial arts in the house.

There was nothing else to do and I went to bed very early.

Qin Ruizhi was lying on the bed, listening to the rain outside the window getting lighter, changing from a heavy downpour to a light drizzle. The drops fell and slapped on the floor tiles, one after another. It was so noisy that she couldn't sleep, so she rustled and turned over.

After a few more hours, I was still not sleepy, so I stood up, opened the window, and vaguely heard something moving outside.

Just as he was about to open the door and go out to check, he saw Xiaonian hugging the quilt and bending over to hide in the house.

"Xiao Nian!" Qin Ruizhi lowered her head and looked at Xiao Nian. With such a timid and fearful look, she almost thought she was the young lady.

"Miss, there's someone knocking on the door." Xiaonian hid behind Qin Ruizhi, "There are only two of us in the house, and I'm scared."

"Forget it, I couldn't count on you in the first place."

Qin Ruizhi put on a thin coat, opened the door and went out to take a look. When she walked to the verandah, the knocking on the door became clearer and louder, and the sound became louder and faster.

"Who is outside?" Qin Ruizhi frowned and said impatiently through the door: "This is Lord Gao's mansion. It's not a gentleman to show up uninvited. Leave quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

The knocking on the door suddenly stopped, and after a moment, the voice came from outside the door. You could hear the trembling voice through the door, "I am passing through Puzhou. I have something important to see Mr. Gao. Please help me pass it on."

"Master Gao is taking a rest and there are no guests." Qin Ruizhi said to expel the uninvited guests.

"Girl..." a rapid shout was followed by the sound of knees hitting the ground, "I came from Xiangzhou, encountered robbers on the road, and lost my mentor, so I came here to seek help from Mr. Gao. If Mr. Gao avoids If you don't see him, I will kill myself in front of Gao's mansion."

The voice was decisive, not joking.

Moreover, he is from Xiangzhou.

Feeling as if a string was being plucked in her heart, and with an irresistible impulse, Qin Ruizhi opened the door anyway.

As soon as a crack in the door appeared, he saw a rickety old man kneeling in front of the door. He was dressed in tattered clothes, his head was covered with mud, and his waist and abdomen were arched so much that he was even worse than a beggar.

When she saw the door open, she squeezed in frantically. Qin Ruizhi wanted to close the door but it was too late.

Qin Ruizhi's expression was slightly condensed, she was afraid that this person was coming with bad intentions.

"Who are you?" Qin Ruizhi seemed to be facing a formidable enemy, her body did not move, but she was in a defensive position.

Zheng Pin wiped the mud from his face and bowed respectfully, "Please tell Mr. Gao, please tell me that Zheng Pin, the former judicial officer of Xiangzhou, was entrusted by Yuan Qinian to come to see you."

Is it Zheng Pin?
Zheng Pin is the son of Right Prime Minister Zheng Tongen. He was born at the age of 45. He is very precious. Originally, he could be an idle son and spend his life peacefully under his father's wings.

But he was extremely motivated, diligent and eager to learn. Last year he passed the Jinshi exam and moved to Xiangzhou to serve as a judicial officer in Xiangzhou.

According to the original plan, after serving in Xiangzhou for two years, he would be transferred to Junzhou as a Sima, and then under the protection of his father, he would be promoted step by step and rise to the top.

However, King Xiang suddenly raised a flag to rebel. Zheng Pin took the lead in correcting his position and clearly opposed King Xiang, and was imprisoned by King Xiang.There were seven other officials imprisoned with him. Originally, these people should have been beheaded as a warning to others.

However, his identity as the son of Prime Minister You gave Zheng Pin an insurance policy, which barely saved his life.

Now that King Xiang is defeated, these people will naturally regain their freedom, and it is very likely that they will be reinstated as officials, and even be promoted and re-employed when almost all the original Xiangzhou officials were destroyed.

However, now that Xiangzhou has been unblocked and rebuilt after the war, everything is waiting to be revitalized. How could he, the ambitious son of the Prime Minister, go to Puzhou instead of staying in Xiangzhou and rebuilding Xiangzhou?
And it's still like this... narrowly escaping from death.

Qin Ruizhi asked tentatively: "What do you want from Mr. Gao?"

Zheng Pin didn't want to tell him, so he said the same thing: "Please tell Mr. Gao, this matter is confidential, I can only tell Mr. Gao."

"Oh..." Qin Ruizhi sighed, shrugged and said, "Then you go back to Kyoto and tell my uncle. My uncle was transferred to Gaoyang to be a county captain. Now I am the only one left in the house. If you feel that you can't tell me, Then go back and forth wherever you come from.”

Zheng Pinru was struck by lightning and stood there stunned, even forgetting to disguise his rickety back, "How could it be? Mr. Yuan obviously..."

Yuan Qinian has been in Xiangzhou recently. He probably only knew that Gao Jinying was demoted to Puzhou due to the Rebellion in the Central Palace. He was appointed county captain in Gaoyang.

In panic, Zheng Pin seemed to have caught a shadow.

Since Gao Jinying is not here, it is also possible to find her sister Gao Zhiying, who was a famous general in Kyoto 20 years ago.

"Since Mr. Gao is not here, where is General Hongying?" Zheng Pin asked respectfully.

Qin Ruizhi frowned and said in surprise: "Who is General Hongying?"

"General Hongying is..." Zheng Pin rubbed his face that was stiff due to the mud, and said truthfully: "She is Lord Gao's sister."

Qin Ruizhi was a little surprised, "Oh, my mother has this title, but I never knew it."

At this moment, Zheng Pincai suddenly realized that the daughter of General Hongying was standing in front of him, so she should be the daughter of General Qin, the captain of the school.

Just looking at the appearance of the girl in front of him, she was tall and slender, with red phoenix eyes, an oval face, pink eyebrows, and plump lips and teeth. Although he had never met General Hongying, he was very familiar with Qin Lianghui, the captain of the prison school, and his appearance was not similar to Qin Lianghui's. , no wonder there are rumors in Kyoto that the daughter Gao Zhiying gave birth to after her divorce was the result of an affair.

As soon as he thought of this old gossip, Zheng Pin shook his head. Nowadays, in times of disaster, you have to rely on others, and it's not easy to arrange people's disputes.

"General Hongying once served as the patrol envoy of the Zhongling Camp. During the chaos in the Zhonggong, he carried a pair of light shuttle swords and held a spear, guarding the former prince at every step. Today's Your Majesty, the clouds are clear and the moon is shining brightly. , I hope General Gu will win a great victory."

General Gu is General Gu Bingyi of Fudu.

General Fudu is the title bestowed upon him by His Majesty. During the Zhonggong Rebellion, King Yu, the brother of the then Crown Prince, fought for the throne. He raised his troops to attack the Crown Prince, bribed the people of the Central Palace, opened the city gates, and opened the Prince's Mansion. The soldiers met with King Yu's soldiers at Zhuque Gate.

At that time, the number of soldiers in the Prince's Mansion, plus the Zhongling Camp, was only more than a thousand, but King Yu's army was about [-].

In the end, Gu Bingyi led these more than a thousand people to fight to the end, and killed King Yu's soldiers and horses with ten times the number of people. He killed all of them, leaving only three people alive.

Gu Bingyi was injured in 48 places, [-] of which were fatal. He lay in bed for more than a year.
