Chapter 070: A Handwritten Letter

Zhou Shixian ignored Hongye and arranged the vehicle while chatting with Ni Yuanlu in detail.

It turned out that they went south from Hengshui and entered Shandong not long after they entered the territory of Shandong. Every time they passed by a big cart, Ruichang and Wei Donglai grabbed six or seven cars, ran together for a while, and separated at the next fork. After doing this two or three times, they had already left Hao Hucheng's pursuers without a trace before passing through Dezhou.

Going south from Dezhou, he encountered no obstacles again. He arrived at Xuzhou Guard on the first day of April, a day faster than the imperial boat.

"I also let people go on the horse theater stage, but I asked the people on the dock that there has not been a fleet like you in the past two or three days," Ni Yuanlu said excitedly, "so I became more careful and asked Ruichang to set up a pair of scouts on the hill next to the canal. The large army was resting in an inn not far from here. When the fleet came, I could come and pick it up with a message."

"Mr. Ni, this method is good!" Zhou Shixian praised, "It saves a lot of trouble."

While talking, six large carts were allocated, but Hongye did not take the car, but asked for a horse to ride. At this time, the benefits of preparing horses were shown. Ruichang and his team brought three hundred horses all the way here. Now not only everyone has horses, but also hundreds of them are rich.

Xuzhou Guards are already in Southern Zhili, so everyone can no longer hide their clothes and wear the original clothes of the Ming army in a dignified manner. However, at the same time, Xuzhou is still close to Shandong and Henan, so don't show off.

"It's not yet time to be so beautiful," Zhou Shixian greeted everyone, "We are rushing to Suqian today, and we don't have to disturb the government. No matter where we find a place to spend the night. Tomorrow morning, we set off for Huai'an and arrive in Huai'an. Long live to be truly safe and we can breathe a little relieved."

Everyone understood that the real goal was Huai'an. As long as you arrive in Huai'an, everything would be easy to say. So they nodded in unison and said, the carriages and horses started, and they were determined to rush on their way.

At this time, the water and land converge, both groups of people were resting enough, so they were particularly energetic when they rushed to the road. Sure enough, they arrived at the Suqian Mansion at sunset, and found a larger inn for the emperor and empress to rest, and spent the night in a mess.

The next day, when the rooster sang, everyone stood up to prepare for the journey. Zhou Shixian invited Li Banghua, Ni Yuanlu and Wang Chengen to have a small discussion.

"Meng Weng, Mr. Ni, Mr. Wang, are there any of you three familiar with Zhenfei of Huaifulu?" Zhou Shixian asked, "You can write a handwritten letter and tell me that it will be here. I will send someone to Huai'an to him and ask him to lead his troops to welcome him."

Huaifu is actually another saying of the Governor of the Grain Transport. The official rank was originally very large, but now the Governor of the Grain Transport has disappeared, so the Governor of the Grain Transport has become Huaifu, who is guarding the territory.

Wang Chengen shook his head: "I have seen him once. He is a thin old man, right? But he doesn't recognize me, and it's useless for me to write it to him."

Li Banghua said: "I'm not familiar with him, but Lu Zhenfei's test is..."

He looked at Ni Yuanlu with inquiring eyes, and Ni Yuanlu pondered: "Lu Jianbai is not the same year as me. His subject name is three years later than me, and he was a Jinshi in the fifth year of the Tianqi period. It is not a question of familiarity, but he has had a few meetings."

Wang Chengen suddenly asked, "Why don't you ask for a long time to issue a hand order?"

"As soon as the imperial edict was issued, there was no room for concealment," Zhou Shixian smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I'm always afraid of repeating the story of Zhou Jiayi."

Everyone suddenly realized that they could not say that Nanjing was not the final decision. Be careful, don’t put the emperor and the queen in the fire like Zhou Family Yi, and then be chased by others for hundreds of miles. It is too thrilling.

"Why do I better write it," Ni Yuanlu volunteered, "I might recognize my few words when I see you."

"Haha, that's what it should be." Li Banghua smiled and said, "How come he forgot about this."

Ni Yuanlu's calligraphy is a contemporary master, known as the "Three Strange Three Essences", which is the so-called "Brush", "Qi Qi", "Qi Qi", "Full momentum, "Full rhyme", and "Full meaning". Although many people like to imitate it, there is no need to force it in this way.

"It's just Mr. Ni," Zhou Shixian also smiled, "Please write and write."

Ni Yuanlu picked up the pen, made a brief idea, and wrote it in a cursive way. The general idea was that he was Ni Yuanlu, who was about to come to Huai'an by the saint to come to Huai'an in the south and asked to welcome him in the north. He made great contributions.

Zhuang Yanchao sent four Jinyiwei to deliver this letter, and specifically told him to submit it to Huaifu Lu Zhenfei in person. After receiving the message, he asked Lu Zhenfei for five more horses and immediately rushed back.

It was just dawn, and Zhuang Yanchao took his orders and ordered four Jinyi Captains, and got on the horse and left quickly. He knew that the prince-consort asked him to change his horse and rushed back after he arrived, so he no longer cared about horsepower. The five of them just took the horses and whipped them up. When they set off at Yin, Chenshi rushed to Huai'an City and saw the city gate guarding the north gate, saying that they were the Jinyi Guardian's service officer, and there was an emergency military report from the capital.

The city gate leader was startled and did not dare to neglect. He hurriedly took people and sent them all the way to the Governor's Office of the Canal Transportation Governor's Office.

Zhuang Yanchao was waiting for the notice outside the central hall, but heard a voice full of energy in the hall saying: "Lun Xu should be in Fufan, and he will definitely make a decision! We..."

Following his words, he was interrupted by the informant. After the words, the voice could be heard saying, "Hurry up, send him in!"

When Zhuang Yanchao entered the middle hall, he saw three people sitting around the table, and they all looked at him. The first one was a second-rank civil servant who looked thin.

"I am Lu Zhenfei. Did you come from the capital? What's the situation?"

Only then did Zhuang Yanchao realize that the sound of aura was made by the inconspicuous Huai Fu in front of him.

Zhuang Yanchao looked at the other two and looked a little hesitant.

"This is the eunuch Lu Jiudelu, the eunuch of Fengyang, and this is the right governor Liu Zeqing and Liu. You have nothing to say but you are not on guard."

"The humble official is Zhuang Yanchao, the official in the Jinyiwei," Zhuang Yanchao took out Ni Yuanlu's letter, "There is a handwritten letter from an old friend, and the man is specially told that only the man can be handed over to the man."

But is that? Lu Zhenfei was quite disappointed, frowned and took the letter. After reading it several times, his beard under his jaw shook, stood up suddenly, slapped his palm on the table, making a loud noise.

"Lu Gong, why is this happening?" Lu Jiude asked carefully as he looked at his face.

Lu Zhenfei read the letter twice and bowed to Lu Jiude and Liu Zeqing: "I have urgent needs to do it. Let's take one step first, so I won't send you two."

"Lu High, Lu High," Lu Jiude stood up, still looking at Lu Zhenfei's face carefully, "What happened just now must have a result!"

"No hurry, I'll talk about it or not, and I'll talk about it." Lu Zhenfei stopped looking at the two of them. He grabbed Zhuang Yanchao's wrist with one hand, stepped out of the hall, and whispered: "Go to the shoe upper street to tell Liu Heihu, and prepare for the whole team!"
