Chapter 1592 Wu Ping
Chu Huan turned around and saw several Hexi soldiers appearing in the yard. Some were holding knives and some were holding crossbow arrows in their hands, aiming at the wall. Chu Huan frowned and heard someone shouting loudly: "Don't do it, it's ours."
In the sound, Mao Renju had already arrived.
The Hexi soldiers did not put away their weapons immediately. Mao Renju said to the wall: "Hero Zhu, what happened?"
Chu Huan hesitated for a moment and finally jumped off the wall. The soldiers of Hexi took a step back. At this time, they realized that it was Zhu Daxia from the Peacock Platform. Then they put away their weapons. One of them bowed and said politely: "It turned out to be Zhu Daxia. I'm really sorry. Several of us brothers were on duty at night. When we passed by the backyard, we heard something happening here, so we happened to arrive."
Chu Huan smiled slightly, looked at Mao Renju, and asked with a smile: "Why did the leader Mao come here too?"
Wu Shizhao's woodshed was detained in the backyard of the inn, and the house was in front. As soon as the incident happened here, Mao Renju arrived immediately, which was a coincidence.
Mao Renju had already said: "Miss has something to explain, it is related to Zhu Daxia. I went to the guest room and didn't see Zhu Daxia. I learned that Zhu Daxia was here, so I came here to search."
"I see."
Mao Renju turned around and saw that the back window of the woodshed was already rotten. He frowned slightly, leaned over and jumped into the woodshed lightly, and soon came out. His face was a little serious, and he said, "Hero Zhu, Wu Shizhao is dead."
Chu Huan sighed: "It's really not the time for him to die."
Several Hexi soldiers looked at each other, and Mao Renju said to the people: "The people who were imprisoned inside were the bandits we caught on the way. They originally wanted to take them to Hexi to send them to the government office, but now they are suddenly killed."
A Hexi soldier said: "We are ordered to welcome the Peacock Platform. After entering Hexi, we will be responsible for protecting you. However, if we have dereliction of duty, we will be executed by military law. It is only outside Hexi, but not within our responsibilities." He said very clearly about his responsibilities, as if he was worried that Peacock Platform would be in trouble. If a person dies, they will not take it seriously.
"It's hard to do it." Mao Renju bowed and said, "You guys go and rest first, we will handle this matter ourselves."
The Hexi soldiers didn't say much and led their men away.
After everyone left, Mao Renju came forward and asked, "Hero Zhu, Wu Shizhao..."
"I was about to pursue the assassin just now." Chu Huan sighed: "It's just that the Hexi soldiers suddenly appeared. I'm afraid they have already escaped far."
"Assassin?" Mao Renju frowned and said, "Did Hero Zhu say that an assassin assassination of Wu Shizhao?"
"That's right." Chu Huan said: "Captain Mao, in your opinion, who is this Wu Shizhao having a grudge against and will assassinate him at this time?"
Mao Renju was stunned, frowned, pondered slightly, then shook his head and said, "I don't know who Wu Shizhao has a private grudge against, but I just want to follow here to assassinate."
Chu Huan stared at Mao Renju and suddenly asked, "Captain Mao said he had something to come to me, but I don't know what happened?"
Mao Renju hurriedly said, "It was the girl's order. This time, the Zhu Da Hero drew his sword to help, so the Peacock Platform avoided a major disaster. So the girl has a suggestion, and I hope the Zhu Da Hero will consider it."
"oh?"
Mao Renju said: "Miss said that if the hero Zhu can stay in the Peacock Platform, he will naturally be unsuccessful. But if the hero Zhu cannot agree, I wonder if the hero can temporarily follow the Peacock Platform and return to Jinling after the Hexi incident is over? The girl said that as long as the hero Zhu agrees, he will definitely thank you at that time."
Chu Huan laughed and said, "Miss Jinling Bird wants me to stay at the Peacock Platform?"
Mao Renju nodded and said, "That's true. I wonder what the hero Zhu wants?"
"I can't agree to this for the time being." Chu Huan laughed and said, "I am used to being casual. Peacock Platform has its own rules, but I am not a person who follows the rules."
Mao Renjue said a little disappointed: "If this is the case, I'm afraid the girl will be disappointed."
"But I can still consider it if Miss Jinling Bird proposes to return to Jinling with me." Chu Huan laughed and said, "I saw my friend in Hexi, but it was nothing else."
Mao Renju smiled and said, "The Peacock Platform will offer skills to the emperor at that time. The Heavenly Palace will be built in Hexi. That is the jade palace in Qionglou. If it is estimated that it is good, the birthday ceremony of heaven should be held in the Heavenly Palace. Will Zhu Hero be interested in seeing it?"
"Tiangong?" Chu Huan laughed and said, "It must be extremely luxurious to use more than 100,000 people and spend countless silver and silk."
Mao Renju said: "If it were ordinary people, of course they would not be able to enter. I am afraid that even some nobles were not qualified to enter. However, this time, the Zhu Da Hero had the opportunity to enter the Heavenly Palace with us. If the Zhu Da Hero was interested, the girl was willing to take the Zhu Da Hero to the Heavenly Palace and witness it with her own eyes, which would be a small reward for the Zhu Da Hero."
Chu Huan thought for a while before saying, "Since that's the case, when I really have such an opportunity, I'm really willing to go and take a look."
"Since that's the case, I'll report back to the girl." Mao Renju smiled and said, "Hero Zhu, it's already very late. You should rest first. I will take someone to deal with Wu Shizhao's body."
Chu Huan glanced at the broken window, thinking about something.
The next morning, under the leadership of the Hexi soldiers, Peacock Platform continued to set off. After walking for a few days, Chu Huan saw a majestic city from afar. Everyone knew that this was the Hexi Dao Prefecture City Wuping Prefecture.
Wuping Prefecture is located in Wuzhou and is the political center of Hexi Road. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers. It is the most majestic city in the north of the empire. As the frontier of resisting the Yi barbarians, Hexi was often attacked by the Yi barbarians at the beginning of its founding. It was only after Feng Yuan defeated the father and son that shocked the Yi barbarians. Since the founding of Qin, the two governors have been the Feng family’s father and son. Therefore, the Feng family’s power in Hexi is deeply rooted, and Wuping Prefecture has been strengthened and renovated for the past twenty years.
Before approaching the city, two Hexi soldiers were ordered to enter the city to report. When the team arrived at the city gate, there were already officials waiting here. The people who came to the city gate were over 50 years old and looked gentle. The Hexi soldiers had already introduced that this was Yang Zhen, the head of the Ministry of Rites of Hexi Road, and Chu Huan was still wearing a hat. At this time, he naturally would not come forward, but he felt more and more strange. Although Yang Zhen was only the head of the Ministry of Rites of Hexi Road, his grade was not low. According to normal circumstances, he could not use it to personally go out to welcome the Peacock Platform. He vaguely felt that Hexi Road seemed to have excessive concern for the Peacock Platform.
As the leader, Mao Renjue naturally came forward to negotiate, said a few words, and then went to the side of the Jinling Bird carriage, approached the curtain and said a few words to it. Soon, the maid Xiaoning helped the Jinling Bird get off the carriage, and still covered her face with a gauze, but Xiao Lian didn't get out of the car. Jinling Bird went forward and bowed. Yang Zhen had already smiled and said, "I have heard of the girl's name for a long time. This time, the priest, the emperor's birthday ceremony, naturally, must be grandly engaged. It was also Xuebutang of the Ministry of Rites who mentioned the girl, so he sent someone to invite her. The girl worked hard all the way."
Chu Huan listened carefully behind him, and when Yang Zhen talked about "Xuebu Hall", of course he knew that it was Xue Huaian, the Minister of Rites. He thought to himself that Peacock Platform came to the order, was it Xue Huaian's suggestion?
Yang Zhen seemed very kind, so he arranged for people to lead the team into the city to settle down first. Wuping Mansion had its own inn, and an official led the Peacock Platform to the inn and moved in.
This inn is very spacious and covers a huge area. It has dozens of courtyards in various sizes, and each courtyard has large and small houses.
When the Peacock Platform was admitted, they found that there were many people living in the inn. Many sounds came from the yard, which seemed quite lively. The leading official smiled and said, "The Governor has an order. The emperor's birthday ceremony is to be held to celebrate the grand and festive celebration, so many people were invited to come and perform their skills. Many people have arrived. However, your Peacock Platform is the most important team. The Governor has given you a special explanation to arrange a secluded large courtyard for you. Anyone you need can ask us. As long as we can do it, it will meet your needs."
Mao Renju asked, "But I don't know where the birthday ceremony will be held?"
The official smiled and said, "Of course it is the Heavenly Palace. When the birthday ceremony is on, we will take you to the Heavenly Palace..." After a pause, he smiled and said, "But the girl Jinling Bird is unparalleled in dancing skills. When the queen's birthday ceremony, I heard that the girl Jinling Bird offered her dancing skills and received commendation from the emperor and the queen, so I specially invited the girl Jinling Bird, and then your Peacock Platform will have special arrangements."
Chu Huan followed Mao Renju, wearing a hat and pressing under the brim of the hat. At this time, he also asked: "Sir, I heard that there will be many officials from the border to congratulate this time at the Christmas ceremony?"
The official smiled and said, "That's natural. The headquarters is next to this inn, and several governors have arrived."
"Oh?" Chu Huan laughed and said, "This is an empire event, and it is also a major event in Hexi. It is difficult to see many governors coming to the same place at the same time..."
"You are right." The official said: "There has never been such a grand event before. Governor Yuan of Anyi Road and Governor Mei of Hujin Road have arrived...!"
While speaking, everyone had already arrived in the yard and was about to carry their luggage into the yard, but they had heard a noise outside. A clear voice heard a loud voice saying, "Have the Jinling Bird arrived? I have been waiting for many days. Who is the Jinling Bird? I want to see, the bragging is amazing, what kind of dancing skills are unparalleled, I want to see whether it is true or false."
In the voice, only footsteps were heard, and a group of people were coming quickly. The first one was wearing armor, but not armor. He had bronze skin, and a big knife was accompanied by a waist. He looked not handsome, but he was quite attractive. Behind him were four or five warriors wearing armor, all of whom looked like a tiger's back and bear's waist, fierce and powerful-
PS: I have an urgent matter at home. I have almost finished the process in the past two days. I am really sorry to everyone. I will make up for what I owe as much as possible.
