Chapter 284

Zhang Jiuling was awakened by a tickle under his nose, he opened his eyes with some difficulty, and saw an extremely cute little girl lying on the head of his couch, staring at him intently with big eyes, fat and fat There is still a foxtail in his little hand.Seeing him open his eyes, the little girl shouted crisply:

"Mother! Grandpa is awake!"

Immediately there was the sound of rubbing clothes, and then hurried footsteps came, and Zhang Ruohan's worried face appeared in Zhang Jiuling's sight.

"Father? You're awake." Zhang Ruohan's voice made him feel a burst of comfort. To see his most beloved little daughter again, he only felt that he had no regrets in this life.

"En." Zhang Jiuling made a dry voice, and the next moment Zhang Ruohan brought a glass of water thoughtfully, helped him sit up, and drank it.

"feelling better?"

"It's much better..." Zhang Jiuling said weakly, the old man couldn't help turning his eyes to the little girl who was lying on the bed and staring at her, stretched out his hand to touch the little guy's head, and said:

"This is Huang'er."

"Well, Huang'er, quickly call grandpa." Zhang Ruohan urged with a smile.

"Grandpa!" The little guy greeted energetically, generously and naturally, without stage fright at all, his big eyes were full of curiosity about the old man in front of him.

"Hehehe...cute." Zhang Jiuling laughed involuntarily, with a kind and loving look on his face, and reached out to stroke the top of the child's hair. This was the first time he saw his granddaughter, and it hurt his heart just by looking at it .

"It's really like when you were a child."

Zhang Ruohan's nose was slightly sour, tears welled up in his eyes, but he smiled and said nothing.

"Grandpa, you are not feeling well, you need to rest more." The little guy raised his hands and grabbed Zhang Jiuling's hand on top of his head, and sent it back to Zhang Jiuling's abdomen naively, and pulled up the quilt to cover Zhang Jiuling in a decent manner.Zhang Jiuling was amused again. Regardless of his weakness, he said, "Come on, give me a hug from grandpa." He leaned forward and carried the little guy onto the couch, hugging him fondly in his arms.Huang'er huddled in her grandfather's arms obediently. This child has keen senses, and she can feel whoever treats her well from the bottom of her heart. Therefore, when she first met Zhang Jiuling, there was no barrier at all.

Zhang Jiuling hugged the child and said:

"It's just that your personality is much more lively than when you were a child, and you look like Bo Zhao."

Zhang Ruohan pursed her lips helplessly, moved the pier and sat on the side of the couch, served Zhang Jiuling and took the soup and medicine that had been prepared earlier, so that Zhang Jiuling could lean on the couch comfortably.At the urging of her mother, Huang'er got down from the couch, bowed obediently and said goodbye, and went to find people in the farm to play with.

Zhang Ruohan fanned Zhang Jiuling with a fan, and said:

"Father, how did you come down from Mount Li? When you came, you said that Xiao Song and Fei Liti were dead, so what happened?"

Mentioning this matter, Zhang Jiuling couldn't help feeling depressed, sighed, and described in detail what happened on Lishan Mountain until he fled to the outermost palace wall of Lishan Palace along the slop delivery path that Feiliti pointed out:

"There were several two-wheeled trolleys stacked there, and there were many linen bags piled up on them. I put all the linen bags on one cart, stacked them as high as possible, and then stepped on the linen bags on the cart to climb over the palace wall. , I accidentally sprained my foot when I fell."

Zhang Ruohan's gaze fell on his father's bandage-wrapped ankle, and he sighed to himself that it was hard for his father to make such a frail scholar go through such a calamity.

"I limped and ran towards the foot of Lishan Mountain. I couldn't tell the direction in the dense forest, but I ran wherever there was no one. There were people from the Jinwu Guard and Youbalin Army all over Lishan Mountain, and there were outbreaks in some places. There was a conflict. I hid in Tibet and hid on the mountain for more than half an hour. Suddenly, I heard that Mingjin was withdrawing, and the Jinwu Guard and Youyulin Army retreated. It was late at that time, and I was alone on the mountain. Attracting the attention of the remaining sentries on the mountain, I hid for another hour. Two people came in the night. I originally planned to run, but I didn’t expect to meet people from Qianyumen. It’s a blessing in misfortune, there are Qianyumen escorts, I was able to return smoothly to meet you."

Zhang Ruohan comforted him: "People from Qianyumen have been investigating the situation outside Lishan Palace. Firstly, they want to find out the situation inside, and secondly, they want to rescue you. It is reasonable that you will meet people from Qianyumen."

"Alas... Thanks to Bo Zhao's family background, there are many capable people and strange men under his command, otherwise this time would really be a disaster." As he spoke, Zhang Jiuling carefully took out the pouch from his bosom, and took out the Longxi Army's badge from it. Bing Talisman, said to Zhang Ruohan:

"Yin Yuyue wants to send this soldier talisman to the Xiao family in Lanling, Hexi, saying that someone will help him. Now that this soldier talisman is in our hands, how should we use it?" Zhang Jiuling was not very familiar with military affairs, and suddenly seemed A little confused.But he understands that this soldier talisman cannot be easily taken to the Lanling Xiao Clan, and it is not clear what the Lanling Xiao Clan is.If it is handed over to the bad guys, it will make the current situation worse.

"Father, don't worry, just give me this soldier talisman. I will ask Li Jinyue to write a letter, and send a reliable person to send the soldier talisman and the letter to the Lanling Xiao Clan. Then the Longxi Army will definitely help us."

"Oh? Could it be that Han'er actually has acquaintances in the Lanling Xiao family?" Zhang Jiuling looked very surprised.

"Father, have you forgotten? Li Jinyue lived in Lanling Xiao's family for ten years, and her prestige in the Longxi Army will definitely play a huge role. What's more, we went there in person four years ago. The Lanling Xiao Clan does indeed have connections there." Zhang Ruohan explained with a smile, "Furthermore, the current situation cannot prevent the Longxi Army from sending troops to help us. The killing of Xiao Song and Xiao Ao by Yin Yuyue is already Forged a mortal feud with the Lanling Xiao family. What's more, Yin Yuyue's attitude towards the powerful family is to suppress it. When we went all the way to Youzhou Road, so many noble children were killed. It can be seen that Yin Yuyue massacred the powerful family for these The behemoth gave way to himself. This violated the fundamental interests of the Lanling Xiao clan, and the Lanling Xiao clan would never be the sword in Yin Yuyue's hands. If the Youzhou army invaded Chang'an Luoyang, robbed the saints, and changed the dynasty, the Lanling Xiao clan would also When the tide goes down, they won't allow this to happen."

"Who the hell is this Yin Yuyue? Why did he do these things? When Bozhao wrote to me, telling me that there was such a number one person, I was skeptical. I didn't expect that he could make the court turbulent to such an extent. .” Zhang Jiuling was extremely puzzled.

Zhang Ruohan pursed her lips, momentarily at a loss for words, and did not answer.After a while, she lowered her eyebrows and said softly:

"How can we experience the thoughts of a lunatic."

"It's really a madman, he's lost his mind!" Zhang Jiuling was very angry, and didn't notice that something was wrong with his daughter's mood for a while.

"Father, rest well, my daughter will take care of the rest." Zhang Ruohan comforted.

"Can Bo Zhaohe Princess really have a way to reverse the current situation?" Although Zhang Jiuling is not very clear about the specific plan of Qianyumen, but with his sensitivity to the political situation, he has already seen that his daughter and son-in-law are starting to resist the rebels and reverse the unfavorable situation.He also wanted to help his daughter and son-in-law, but he was a minister capable of governing the world, but not a hero in troubled times, so he felt powerless right now.

"It's too early to say anything, but my daughter believes in Bo Zhao and the princess. What else can we do besides trusting them?" Zhang Ruohan said indifferently.

Zhang Jiuling let out a long sigh, with sorrow in his eyes, he said: "That's right... Songbai is dead, it's the young people's world..."

Not long after, Cong Yun personally carried the Longxi Army Soldier Talisman, patted his horse and galloped towards Hexi.Another secret message was carried by the black-feathered fast eagle, sent from Baqiao, and went straight to the front line of Jizhou.

……

Kutuo stood in a sparse open space in the dense forest, with a whistle in his mouth, and was blowing continuously. This situation had lasted for an hour. He looked through the autumn water, and finally saw a small black spot in the sky.

He blew the whistle three times in a hurry, and raised his left arm wearing a leather armguard.In the sky, the small black dot swooped down, enlarged continuously, and finally showed the figure of a black-feathered fast eagle.

There was a moment of disappointment in Hu Tuo's eyes, but he still took the black eagle and took off the letter box on the black eagle's claws. With a shake of his arm, the black eagle spread its wings and flew away again.

Holding the letter tube in his hand, Hu Tuo hurried into the dense forest and bushes. After a while, he came to a hidden corner of the mountain wall, where two marching tents were set up, and there was a pile of extinguished campfire in the center of the tent.

He walked quickly into one of the tents, and saw Cheng Yan and Xu Jie who were sitting around the sand table.

"Letter from Baqiao." While talking, Hutuo delivered the letter box to Xu Jie.

Xu Jie opened the letter box, unlocked the secret letter, and compared it with the deciphered code, and obtained the content of the letter.The corners of her mouth suddenly curled up, and she said with a smile:

"The situation is very good."

"Yujie, tell me quickly, what's the matter?" Cheng Yan urged.

"Xiao Song is dead. Mr. Zishou took his Longxi army soldier talisman out of Lishan Mountain and brought him to Baqiao by accident. Now the soldier talisman has been sent from Congyun to Lanling Xiao's. I believe that after the soldier talisman is delivered, Lanling Xiao The family will immediately send troops to help. Mrs. Zhang San means that we should inform the princess to write a personal letter and deliver it to the Lanling Xiao family together, so as to increase the intensity of encouraging the other party to send troops."

Cheng Yan was still happy when she heard the first half of her words, but the second half made her look sad again:

"It's not easy for us to subpoena to go in right now? Moreover, there has been no news for a long time, so I'm so anxious."

"No news is good news. Didn't I tell you just now? The Youzhou Left Army attacked Jizhou. It was supposed to launch a blitzkrieg. The sooner they took Jizhou, the better. However, in recent days, the Youzhou Army has stood still. The provocations are ignored, this is clearly an internal problem." Xu Jie said without haste.

"That's what I said, but I haven't received any letter. I'm anxious." Cheng Yi has a short temper and can't bear this kind of suffering the most.

"How can you be so impatient, don't be so hasty and confused, it will ruin the big thing." Xu Jie nodded her head with his hand.

Cheng Yan touched his forehead that was poked, with a depressed expression on his face.

At this moment, footsteps sounded outside the tent again, and a strong young man opened the curtain and hurried in, also holding a postbox in his hand.This man is Lu descendant of the Luoyang branch, and he was punished by Shen Sui for offending the He Lan family in order to save Yang Yuhuan.Not long ago, I came to Jizhou from Luoyang to support the front line.

"News from the army!" Lu Yi seemed very excited.These days, he and Hutuo would summon messenger birds at several fixed locations almost every day, but they never received any news from the army.Today, two news came in a row like a stroke of luck, and it is understandable that I couldn't restrain my emotions for a while.

However, the news from the army was not good news. After deciphering it, Xu Jie frowned and was speechless for a while.

Everyone stared at her, she took a deep breath and said:

"It's Bo Zhao's news that the Youzhou army will launch a general attack tonight. Also, Li Mo, the governor of Jizhou, has arranged for King Zhong to withdraw to Luoyang."

"Did the compilation fail?" Cheng Yan asked with a frown.

Xu Jie shook his head: "It was not mentioned in the letter, as long as we move the battlefield, Bo Zhao and others will go south soon."

Lu Yi and Hu Tuo fell into deep thought, Xu Jie thought for a moment, then said:

"It seems that the time has not come yet. I'm afraid Bozhao is waiting for news from the Lanling Xiao Clan. Her plan will not be fully realized until the Longxi Army takes action."

"You mean, Da Lang has long thought about the whereabouts of Xiao Song's military talisman?" Hu Tuo asked.

Xu Jie nodded: "She should have expected that Yin Yuyue would get the soldier talisman and send it to the Lanling Xiao Clan so that the Lanling Xiao Clan could send troops. So Bo Zhao obviously made arrangements in advance. Not only would the Lanling Xiao Clan not help Yin Yuyue, I'm afraid there will be a counterattack. Just wait and see, that's what happened in the past ten days."

As she spoke, she took a flag, planted it in the northwest of Luoyang, and pointed her finger: "There must be a battle here."
