Fast Travel: The Mountains and the Seas Are Allies

Chapter 62

At night, the fourth master was sitting at the desk flipping through the accumulated business affairs, when suddenly Gao Wuyong entered the tent with a bow, and presented him with a bamboo tube with the thickness of a little finger.

The fourth master carefully looked at the red rope wrapped around it for a moment before he opened it with peace of mind and took out a small note. After reading it, his eyes were dark and bottomless, but a meaningful smile hung at the corner of his mouth.

He clicked it casually and watched it burn away bit by bit with his unblinking eyes. Then he still didn't raise his head and only gave a faint instruction: "Tell Wei Zhu that when the matter is settled, he will find out the information from Qian'er." Report to the Emperor."

"Whoo."

"Heh!" Fourth Master looked at the flickering candle, and sneered after a while, and then the laughter came out of the tent intermittently, and Gao Wuyong, who was guarding the door, was so startled that his hairs stood on end, and he bent instantly body.

For the next three or four days, there were dense crowds of people guarding the gate of the imperial tent, all of them stood quietly with their heads bowed, showing a worried look, so many people did not make any noise, only whispered when necessary, and they all agreed tacitly The earth gathers together as soon as the sun rises in the east, and does not disperse until the last twilight of the afterglow disappears.

On the fifth day, there was a gap in the neat formation, and no one was seen from dawn to noon.

The fourth master looked at the empty seat diagonally behind him, closed his eyes slightly to hide his expression, and then took a half step forward and said to the third master: "Third brother, it's almost time. With Lao Ba's temperament, it is impossible to reach this point if nothing happened. The time has not yet come, would you like to ask a servant to take a look?"

The third child didn't turn his face, didn't open his mouth to respond, he just waved his hands casually, and the little eunuch who was waiting at the side immediately retreated and went out.

Two quarters of an hour later, the little eunuch who just now ran back in a panic.

When the third master saw it, he immediately kicked him: "You dog slave, you have learned all the rules in the dog's belly!" He humiliated the master outside. Those who didn't know better thought that everyone taught in the master's house was in such a panic. The rules!

"You slave should die." The little eunuch who had been kicked crawled forward and knelt down on the ground. The autumn wind was blowing sweat on his forehead and neck, and his voice trembled: "Master, Eighth Master, Eighth Master!" My father had a fever in the middle of the night last night. This morning, the waiter saw that Ba Ye had not been up for a long time. When he entered the room and woke up, he realized that the high fever has not subsided and he is unconscious. He called the imperial doctor. The imperial doctor said, maybe it is, maybe it is the epidemic !"

"what!"

The fourth master's sharp eyes were like arrows, and he quickly remembered the identities of several pale-faced civil servants and military generals. Hearing the "buzzing" whispers that became louder and louder in his ears, he closed his eyes.

The two guards came quickly, and told again about Ba Ye's illness, and then asked what to do.

The third master said a few words with a stiff face. They were all the rules and regulations set by the emperor when the fourth child was suffering from the epidemic. Then he added a sentence: "Tell a group of people to hurry back to Beijing and invite the women from Lao Ba's mansion to attend to the illness!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of breaking porcelain from within the imperial tent.

The buzz sounded as if the pause button had been pressed instantly, and the pause was exceptionally neat and rapid.

Everyone was wary and tense, for fear of hitting the muzzle of the gun.

Fourth Master opened his eyes, the corners of his mouth curled slightly and then flattened abruptly.

in the account.

Kangxi supported the edge of the bed with one hand, leaned over with his head hanging down and retched constantly, the other hand was behind his back, and he was holding a few pieces of paper in his hand. The densely packed writing on it was like spots on white wings, and he was trembling at this moment. A butterfly fluttering its wings.

After a long while, the vomiting stopped, and he fell back as if he lost his strength.

The waiters in the tent were so frightened that they all knelt on the ground. Liang Jiugong quickly stepped forward and saw the slight rise and fall of his chest and the trembling eyelashes that could not hide his closed eyes. He breathed a sigh of relief, and then glared fiercely. A glance at Wei Zhu, who was kneeling on the ground.

"Liang Jiugong."

Liang Jiugong immediately collected himself and lowered his head, saying, "I'm here."

"Xuan Li Guangdi, Zhang Tingyu, Song Zhu, He Shuozi, Yin Tebu, Mu Helun..."

A man named Liang Jiugong was trembling when he heard it.

···
Before noon, Du Ruo, who was guarding in the tent, received the news that the emperor's imperial body was good.

Immediately afterwards, news came one after another, which completely violated the law that illness comes like a mountain and goes away like a silk thread.

Seven days later, when Du Ruo was cutting the coat for the fourth master, he heard the news that Sheng Jia had returned to Beijing first, and even took away all the accompanying elder brothers, not all of them, who were still ill. The eighth master in the book was left behind.

"..." What's the matter?

Du Ruo looked at the twelve guards on both sides of the big tent in confusion.

Yo, there are two familiar faces!Aren't these the two who always stand by the door of Fourth Master Mao's study?
"What message did you leave for me?"

"The fourth master said that there is no problem with the master, I hope you should be careful."

Du Ruoxin slipped away, is something going to happen? !

"But what else did you say? When will I leave here?"

"The fourth master was also suddenly led by the order. He only left one sentence, that is, all the luggage must be packed and sent over overnight. He said that he wanted to travel lightly and easily. If he could not, he would not bring it. As for the large troops Let’s start, it’s set to leave early tomorrow morning.”

Du Ruo nodded, and told them what to do, then went into the tent, and while packing for Fourth Master, he thought about it, but after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure it out.

I just feel more and more that my brain is not enough.

She was stupid to begin with, but the children were born one after another, and all the remaining IQ was exchanged!

On the way back, Du Ruo obviously felt that the speed was slower than when he came, and he was even more puzzled. The holy driver was ahead, and they were almost a day late. Why did they slow down, not to mention hurrying up? Isn't this getting farther and farther?
And those guards who are highly concentrated, what are they doing?
This carriage ride was already uncomfortable, and a series of abnormalities made Du Ruo's head turn into a muddy mess, so he could only wait for someone to ask for help when he returned to Beijing.

She thought she would be confused enough now, but she didn't expect that when she entered Beijing, she would be completely confused.

Du Ruo was escorted all the way to the palace gate by the guards. When he got off the carriage, he saw Hong Yi.

"My son has seen my mother."

"...Hong Yi? Why are you here?"

"Returning to Erniang, it was Huang Ama who sent her son to pick you up. Hongyan and the others are waiting in Yongshou Palace!"

Du Ruo was stunned. Looking at his son whom he had not seen for less than three months, he felt that something had changed in him.

No, it became more than just Hongyi.

Even this majestic Forbidden City has changed its master!

"Er Niang?" Hong Yi leaned forward and carefully held his own Er Niang's arm: "It's been a long time since I saw you, my son. Let's go back to Yongshou Palace and have a good talk. The sedan chair is ready, Cen Mammy was worried that my mother would be cold, so she specially brought Mrs. Tang with her."
