high official

Chapter 722 Where is the family?

Smoke and dust billowed on the wide official road outside the city, the carriage ran wildly in front, and the cavalry chased wildly behind.Both sides beat the horses desperately and urged the fastest speed.But after all, the carriage couldn't outrun Qingqi, and after a cup of tea, it was finally caught up.

"Stop!" Zhang Fu's cavalry caught up with the convoy, put a noose around the horse's head of the lead cart, and finally forced the carriage to stop.

The cavalry surrounded the convoy, and before Zhang Fu could speak, the coachman cursed: "Are you crazy, dare to block the convoy of Donggong!"

"It's Donggong's convoy that's being stopped!" Zhang Fu sneered and said, "Let everyone in the car get off!"

"Why do you..." The coachman had only spoken halfway before Zhang Fu chopped down the carriage with a knife. Seeing the coachman who was still alive and kicking just now, only his head was left jumping around, the coachmen stopped immediately.

"That's the reason!" Zhang Fu held the blood-dripping knife and said with gloomy eyes, "Get out of the car!"

Only the people in the car got down slowly, except for the female relatives and eunuchs.Zhang Fu squinted his eyes and looked around one by one, feeling very disappointed... He, the third son of the Zhang family, naturally knew the princess and the grandchildren of the emperor, but none of them were present.

At this time, Zhang Fu's subordinates searched all the vehicles, but found nothing that slipped through the net, so Zhang Fu couldn't help but look down.In his mind, even if the crown prince was not present this time, if he could capture the crown princess or a few grandchildren, it would be a great achievement.But the result was so disappointing...

Zhang Fu's eyes searched again in the crowd, and finally found a familiar face. He stretched out his finger, and his subordinates pulled the eunuch out and brought him in front of him.

"Little Eunuch Hou, where are you going?" Zhang Fu said condescendingly, his voice was cold.

This little Hou Gonggong is a eunuch in charge of the East Palace, he has been to the British government several times, and said tremblingly: "Third, third master, let's go to Hangzhou."

"What are you doing in Hangzhou?" Zhang Fu asked.

"It seems that the capital is not peaceful, let's avoid it..." Eunuch Hou tremblingly said.

"Where is the princess? Where are the grandchildren?" This is what Zhang Fu really cares about.

"The crown prince and the emperor's grandson are also in the car..." Eunuch Hou said in a daze, "Why did they disappear?"

"******, it must have slipped away!" Zhang Fu's subordinates said angrily, "Using these people to attract our attention!"

"It doesn't matter." Zhang Fu felt relieved and said, "All the gates of the capital are closed, where can they escape?" Before Zhang Fu went to the showdown with Zhang Fu, Zhang Fu had already ordered the government army's central guard and the government army's left guard to close. As for the city gate, in his opinion, it is no problem for the two guards to swear allegiance to the prince.Even the five gates controlled by the right guard of the government army, except the Shence Gate, the other four gates were closed by his subordinates with the edict of the King of Han!
As for the Shence Gate, he had already ordered the gate to be closed before he left the city, so no one in the city could escape!
When Zhang Fu returned to Shence Gate, he saw that the gate was closed tightly. After asking to open the city gate, Zhang Fu asked again, and he was completely relieved when he learned that everything was normal—his task was to control the right guard of the government army. , Close the five gates of the right guard of the government army, and no one is allowed to leave the city.Now it's completely done!
Zhang Fu asked the generals to cheer up and prepare to ride around on horseback to see how the city gates are doing.

"My lord, what should Second Lord do?" the general asked in a low voice.

"Hmm..." Zhang Fu's face darkened. This is the cruelest part of this war. Both sides are close relatives and friends, but at this moment they want to kill each other to the death.After thinking for a while, Zhang Fu slapped his horse's butt hard, leaving only a weak order: "Lock him up first, and let the King of Han deal with him..."

Even if he kills without blinking an eye, Zhang Fu can't attack his second brother who grew up with him...

.

Apart from the explosion, there has been no major riots in the capital as a whole. This is mainly due to the blessings of Wang Xian and Xue Juzheng. What kind of gangs can fish in troubled waters.As for a small group of thugs taking advantage of the fire to rob, it was unavoidable, but with Xue Juzheng commanding the officials of Yingtian Mansion to patrol the streets, nothing serious happened.

Xue Juzheng was very clear about his mission, which was to keep the capital in order, so he didn't stand on any side, but was trying his best to fulfill his mission as Yin Tian Fu Yin.And the King of Han, who is currently in control of the capital, is also happy to see him in this state, so he didn't bother him.

Xue Juzheng was patrolling on horseback, and happened to meet Zhang Fu face to face.Both of them didn't know what to say, so they just nodded and went their own way, and the well water did not interfere with the river water.

After staggering with Zhang Fu, Xue Juzheng came to Tianxiang Nunnery, looking at the Taoyuan in the busy city, he thought of the fairy who had fallen into the world inside, and couldn't help sighing.Ten years ago, when Xue Juzheng was an ordinary Beijing official, he was one of Xu Miaojin's many admirers, but Xu Miaojin, a celestial girl, was like a heaven and an underground with him. Didn't know his kindness.

Later, it happened that the emperor failed to propose marriage to Xu Miaojin, and Xu Miaojin was forced to become a monk. Since then, he has become a poor man who cannot be obtained by the emperor or touched by men in the world.From then on, Xue Juzheng, like many men in the world, imagined that one day he could rescue the poor fairy from the hands of the evil devil.But it's just thinking about it, who can bear the wrath of Emperor Yongle's thunder?

Even if I can't save you in this life, let me try my best to protect you and get through this turmoil... Xue Juzheng looked away reluctantly, secretly made up his mind, and ordered the left and right: "Send heavy troops to protect Tianxiang Temple, don't let anyone approach!"

"His Royal Highness wants to go in?" The subordinate obviously knew who had the highest power in the capital today.

"King of Han..." Xue Juzheng's expression froze, and he sighed after a long time: "After all, he is the real nephew." After speaking, he left feeling disappointed.At that moment, he felt so small and powerless...

.

What Xue Juzheng didn't know was that besides Xu Miaojin, there was also Wang Xian's family in Tianxiang Nunnery.

When the explosion happened, Xu Miaojin sent people to bring Wang Xian's parents, brothers, sisters-in-law, wife, children, and sisters to Tianxiang Nunnery.Men like Wang Xingye and Wang Gui naturally settled down in the outer courtyard.Originally, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Hou also wanted to live outside, but Xu Miaojin invited them in person.

Although she is familiar with Xu Miaojin, but Xu Miaojin's reputation is too high, her status is too high, and her looks are too beautiful, Aunt Wang is always in fear in front of her.Rejected again and again: "No need, no need, it's the same wherever the old lady is, so I won't go in and pollute your fairy family's treasured land."

"That's what you said." Xu Miaojin was very insistent, and her attitude was unrestrained. She regarded herself as a junior, and she was her own junior. She held Aunt Wang's hand, with an affectionate and humble attitude like her daughter-in-law. "We are like our own family. If you don't go in, I will accompany you outside."

"You can't do it." Aunt Wang had no choice but to obediently follow her in, and Xu Miaojin happily walked around with her, admiring the autumn scenery by the Xuanwu Lake.The scenery of the Royal Palace is naturally beautiful, but the raging fire in the direction of Qingshou Temple really spoils the scenery, reminding people all the time of the current situation in the capital.

Aunt Wang really didn't have the heart to appreciate the beautiful scenery, so she asked worriedly: "We are here, so we won't hurt you, right?"

"You mustn't be so polite, just call me Miaojin. We are a family, and it would be too strange to talk about getting involved..." Xu Miaojin said hurriedly, but the next moment, her tone became indifferent and confident again: "You just need to rest assured to live here, even if Zhu Gaoxu comes, he won't dare to enter this door!"

"Really?" Aunt Wang was most worried about her family's safety. Hearing what Xu Miaojin said, she couldn't help being overjoyed.

"Of course it's true." Xu Miaojin said with a smile: "You can rest assured, if you don't believe me, Wang Xian can entrust the whole family to me?"

"What, the second child asked you?" Aunt Wang burst into tears immediately after hearing this: "So he is fine?"

"Yeah, he's fine." Xu Miaojin looked at Lin Qing'er at the side with some unnaturalness.

"Why is this child so ignorant? Isn't this causing you trouble?" Aunt Wang felt at ease when she heard that her son arranged it.She doesn't believe in others but firmly believes in her son, her precious son who pulled the family out of the quagmire and brought it to today step by step.

Seeing that Aunt Wang was finally not so restrained, Xu Miaojin accompanied the old lady to have meals again. Although she had never had a meaty Tianxiang nunnery, she heard from Xiuer that the old lady liked to eat fish and shrimp with rice, which made people feel uncomfortable. Breaking the rules, they served sweet and sour fish, shrimp balls, and abalone soup, which made the old lady very satisfied.

After the meal, Xu Miaojin arranged for the old lady to take a lunch break in the main room. Aunt Wang was not the same as the old Wuxia Amon, so she naturally knew that this room should belong to Xu Miaojin, so she was determined not to enter it no matter what.That's why Xu Miaojin didn't insist, and asked her to rest above the next door... In fact, she planned to live in that room by herself.

After settling down the old lady, Xu Miaojin enthusiastically arranged a place for Hou Shi and Lin Qing'er, and teased the dog for a while before going back to rest.

As soon as Xu Miaojin left, Hou probed into Lin Qing'er's room, and whispered to Lin Qing'er who was just about to rest: "Qing'er, why do I feel something is wrong?"

Lin Qing'er smiled lightly and said, "How do sister-in-law say this?"

"Master Xu is too warm to us." Hou whispered.

"Is there something wrong with their enthusiasm for us?" Lin Qing'er laughed.

"Enthusiasm is good, of course, if you are too enthusiastic, there will be problems." Hou said with a look of "I do it for you": "It is said that with her status, she also likes quietness, so it would be good if she could let us live in Tianxiang Nunnery. Why? Serving the old lady like her daughter-in-law?"

"Sister-in-law is overthinking." Lin Qing'er frowned and said, "Master Xu is just repaying her kindness because my officials saved her."

"I'm afraid that my benefactor will become my husband." Hou muttered in a low voice.

"Sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense, Master Xu is an outsider!" Lin Qing'er showed a displeased expression.

"Cheng Cheng, even if I didn't say anything, I have good intentions." Seeing that Lin Qing'er was unhappy, Hou left angrily.

As soon as she left, Lin Qing'er sighed quietly, her eyes were blank for a long time, until she saw her son in the cradle, she became gentle again.So I put those messy thoughts behind me, and continued to shake the cradle...
