a pillow in autumn

Zhou Mubai took Shen Yan and Shen Youtang out of the camp that day, followed by the twelve personal guards of Prince Rui's residence and more than twenty guards from the Shen family, and went to join Shen Lan in the city.

Thirty-odd riders had just rushed to the city gate when they met Shen Lan who had come out of the city. Apart from the two sons of the Shen family, there was also a very young stranger beside Shen Lan.

"Your Highness." Shen Lan arched her hands on the horse, pointed at the young man and said with a smile: "This kid is looking for news about you everywhere in the city. When I asked him why he was looking for you, he didn't say anything, only that he was an old friend with you. I brought it with me."

The young man rolled over from his horse, knelt down on the ground and saluted greatly: "Pei Yue, a grass-roots man, please greet Prince Rui. Prince Rui is blessed and safe."

"Yueer?!" Zhou Mubai was taken aback, jumped off his horse, and helped the young man up with both hands. He was only sixteen or seventeen years old, with fair complexion, handsome and handsome, and his outline had fully grown, which could be seen vaguely. Accompanied by a naughty look for a while.

"Your Highness." Pei Yue stood up, took out a letter from his pocket, and handed it to Mubai with both hands, but there was a hint of uncertainty in his eyes.

The letter was sealed with sealant, and one could tell from the handwriting that it was written by Imperial Physician Pei Dongcheng.Zhou Mubai unfolded the letter while listening to Pei Yue's words: "There is a strict order in the palace that all servants in the palace are not allowed to leave the capital. My father wanted me to come out to practice. As soon as he heard the news, he sent me out of the capital immediately and told me to go to the capital as soon as possible. Yizhou, I hope I can accompany His Highness by your side."

The letter was very simple, it only said that Pei Yue's medical skills had been handed down from his family and needed more training, and Prince Wang Rui would allow him to follow him around.However, Zhou Mubai could clearly see that Pei Dongcheng must have heard some news in the palace or saw that the government and the public would undergo great changes, so he hastily arranged the young Pei Yue by his side.One is that he is worried that he will inevitably get injured while marching outside, and the other is that he has pushed Pei Yue far away from the imperial city.

Why seal such a simple letter with wax?Zhou Mubai turned his head and thought for a while, and he knew it.The letter abruptly mentioned, "everything is clear to me", which seems to be referring to the medical skills of the Pei family, but in fact, it can send Pei Yue here, so I have already explained my special identity to him.Imperial Physician Pei is very thoughtful and worried that this letter will accidentally fall into the hands of others, since it is inconvenient to say so, let's use wax as a sign.

Zhou Mubai raised his eyebrows and looked at Pei Yue, who was standing beside him leading the horse, and saw that he was also looking at him with dazed eyes. After all, he was young, and he couldn't hide the scrutiny in his eyes.She was a little amused, put the letter into her sleeve, and asked, "Are you here alone?"

"There is also a medicine boy who has been in my house for several years, and has learned some superficial pharmacology with me. Now he is in the inn, guarding the luggage." Pei Yue straightened his figure, cupped his hands and said, "I hope your Highness will not dislike it." The grassroots are vulgar, take in the grassroots."

Mubai laughed loudly, and thumped him on the shoulder, "Who did you learn this trick from? We haven't seen each other for many years, will the friendship between you and me become weak? Let's go! From now on, you will be in our army The military doctor!"

Pei Yue's young face was filled with eager joy, he knelt down on one knee, with a smile on his face, "My minister, thank you for your appreciation!"

The afterglow of the setting sun casts a thin layer of golden light on the city gate, and night is about to fall.A group of people got on their horses again, but they didn't enter the city. Instead, they bypassed the green seedlings on the outskirts of the city and galloped along the mountain road.

It was cold in the early summer of Ji County, and Shen Youtang stood on the hall of the General's Mansion, looking at a picture of a tiger sitting on a mountain hanging in the center of the hall.Wei Jinpeng has appointed General Yunhui, and now he is having a secret conversation with Prince Rui in the study.

At first Wei Jinpeng didn't want to see this group of people, it wasn't that he favored Prince Min, but that he loved his own sister, who died in the palace for no reason.Zhou Mubai invited him to the study, and only said a few words: "General, do you really believe that the Crown Princess will commit suicide? In the courtyard, the Crown Princess will surely be able to honor the world, so how could she abandon her eldest son and sink into the lake with hatred for her youngest son at this time?"

Wei Jinpeng also thought about it carefully and knew that what Prince Rui said was true.He gave way: "If you want to send troops to serve the king, you still need to solve a problem."

"The general is worried about military expenses and food and salaries?" Zhou Mu stood beside a splash-ink landscape painting in the study with his hands behind his back, smiling in the spring breeze, as if he had a plan in his chest.

In the early morning of the next day, the county government office posted a notice, in order to help the crown prince and eliminate the chaos and rebellion, Prince Rui raised food and wages from the people in the name of the palace. Today, a hundred gold is used as a loan, and for success in the future, he is willing to use two hundred gold as a reward. compensate.

At first, most of the big households in the city waited and watched, but within a day, Huaqiao Xia's family offered 30 taels of silver as a subsidy. Zhou Mubai wrote the voucher in black and white in front of the government office hall, and stamped it with the seal of the palace.In another two days, the Qu family, the richest man in the neighboring Ye County, brought back 10 taels of gold, and also took back the prince's certificate stamped with the seal of the palace.Now the wealthy households in the city can't sit still, 10 taels of gold, when the crown prince succeeds, it will be 20 taels!

If the crown prince fails?

No way!If not!

The people in the various counties of Gunzhou suffered from the thieves of the Tu clan. It was only a year or two ago that Prince Rui led the troops to repel the thieves and wiped out the harm for the people. Just talking about the heroism and strategy of those who captured the enemy and captured the king by attacking the city, is still talked about by the people in the western frontier.She wants to lead troops to help the prince, so why not?

So His Royal Highness Prince Rui quickly raised a military salary that far exceeded expectations. The brothers of the Shen family were busy counting the amount in order to prepare for double repayment in the future. At the request of Prince Rui, the Red Wing Army sent people to help move the gold every day. Wei Jinpeng was dumbfounded when he saw the transfer of money, and he was so impressed that he fell all over his body.

Ten days later, Zhou Mubai led the [-] Red Wing Army and marched towards Yizhou, recruiting troops along the way. When the summer was very strong, the army marched to the outskirts of the forest in Wuyang County, and there were no less than [-] people!

On the outskirts of Ruiguo's capital city, two unremarkable four-horse carriages dangled through the woods beside Foguang Temple, surrounded by more than a dozen followers, heading west.

Outside the carriage was a blue coarse cloth door curtain, and the roof and shaft were slightly worn out. The groom who was driving the carriage was staring, and whipped the horse's back from time to time, as if he was walking absent-mindedly.

It was a different scene in the car, although it was not luxurious, but the cushioned seats were spacious and comfortable.Sitting in the front car were Princess Bao Jiang Xueran and her two personal maids, and in the rear car were naturally Princess Rui Shen Xianxun, Shu Yao and Si Yuan.

Although the road was bumpy, the two coachmen were old men from the Jiang family. They had been accompanying the masters and young masters for many years, and the car was very stable.The servants of Prince Bao's Mansion and Prince Rui's Mansion stayed in Foguang Temple, and now they are accompanied by the Jiang family's sons and daughters. The whole family, old and young, are all working in Jiang Manor, so they are naturally loyal.

"Miss, how long will it take us to find His Highness like this?" Siyuan knelt in the carriage, quietly opened a corner of the window, and looked out. A servant turned to look at her, and she immediately put down the curtain.

Xian Xun leaned against the wall of the car, and said in a gentle voice: "It's more than a month if it's fast, or... I don't know if it's slow." She said softly and sighed.

Siyuan still wanted to ask something, but seeing her young lady closed her eyes as if a little tired, she felt a little dazed.Shuyao quietly reached out and held her hand.She looked up and saw Shuyao smiling slightly at herself.She tightened her palms and smiled back.Those inexplicable worries and panics disappeared.

The carriage turned a corner and moved forward on the mountain road, avoiding the pass of the official post, and drove straight into a small town.The female family members in the carriage changed into the clothes of ordinary people nowadays, and the attendants took out the goods prepared in advance in the town, and hired a few carriages, and a group of people pretended to be businessmen, and headed towards the sunset.

When Zhou Mubai and Wei Jinpeng led an army of [-] back to Wuyang County, Zhou Muchen led his personal guards out of the city to meet them.Mubai didn't stay in the city for long, because Zhou Muye had already personally led the troops to kill Yizhou.

Yizhou has a vast terrain, and there are many business travelers from all over the world, but there is no danger to defend. After several discussions, Zhou Mubai and Zhou Muchen led the army to the hinterland of Chonghai County.

He didn't want Zhou Muye to openly lead troops to Wuyang County, Yizhou, but secretly wanted to occupy the dangerous place in Chonghai first.The forwards of the two armies met in the countryside outside the county, and they quickly fought.

Zhou Mubai rode his horse on the top of the hill, watching the scuffle not far away, Shen Lan cut off the opponent's battle flag first, the Red Wing Army cheered thunderously, Meng Xiang's Black Wing Army seemed not used to fighting on horseback, and was beaten by the Red Wing Army The wing troops rushed from left to right, and their formation was confused. After a while, they retreated with gold, leaving a mess on the ground.

The Red Wing Army won the first battle.

Zhou Muchen led the troops into the city, and the army rested for a while.The long-distance march was already extremely exhausting, and the soldiers fell asleep. Unexpectedly, it was only midnight, when the moonlight was at its thickest and the horns blew. Zhou Muchen woke up from his sleep, and an Eastern Palace guard broke into the bedroom, and knelt down to report: "Your Highness! Urgent report ahead, Prince Min, attacking the city at night!"
