Chapter 68
An ordinary sedan chair was parked at the side door of the palace. Wu Yue inside the sedan chair felt uneasy because of the ignorance of the situation, and Hong Xin outside the sedan chair walked back and forth, waiting, but no one was there when the time came.
In the barracks, big and small things piled up, and Hong Shichang was always unable to get away from him, and gradually became anxious.
"Big Brother, Big Brother", Xing Zheng walked through the messy recruiting registration line, and walked to the side of the absent-minded Hong Shichang, "Brother, if you have something to do, go and do it, I'm here to help you."
"Would you know? The roster here should be divided into three categories and handed over to several lieutenants for review. This and this should be stamped before sending them over there..." After ordering, he realized that things were complicated, and Hong Shichang couldn't rest assured. , "Ah Zheng, let me do it. If you change people, it may become more chaotic."
"Well then, brother, I'll help you with other things, what do you want me to do?"
Hong Shichang thought about it again, this is also a solution, he looked at Xing Zheng and said, "Ah Zheng, in fact, the younger sister sent someone to look for me just now, because there is something wrong with the brother-in-law, and I just can't leave..."
"I'll go, brother, tell me where."
Xing Zheng did not hesitate, Hong Shichang was a little surprised, "Ah Zheng, you can do it?"
"No problem, big brother, the son-in-law and the princess have taken in our big family, and we have to do something, and leave it to me!"
Hong Shichang heard this, and patted Xingzheng on the shoulder, "Good brother, my little sister will be waiting at the side door facing southeast, hurry up!"
Fully agreeing, Xing Zheng turned and left.Hong Shichang plunged into the busyness again in the blink of an eye, a moment of rest is rare.
After being delayed for too long, Hong Xin decided not to wait any longer, gave the order, and set off in the sedan chair.Xing Zheng rushed over and saw the sedan chair going away from a distance, and ran over while calling Hong Xin at a faster speed.
"Why are you here?" Stopping to see Xing Zheng, Hong Xin felt very surprised, "Where's my elder brother? Why didn't you see him coming?"
"Brother can't leave in the barracks, let me help you."
While Xing Zheng was talking, he glanced at the sedan chair beside him. Even though he understood Xing Zheng's intention, Hong Xin still refused, "No need, I can do it by myself, you go back."
"Sister Xin, I'm not an outsider!" Xing Zheng stopped Hong Xin in a hurry, "Besides, it was my brother who asked me to help, you haven't seen how busy my brother is recently, I can also contribute, isn't it good? ?”
Hong Xin thought about it calmly, and made a concession, "You can follow, but if you dare to go out and talk nonsense, don't blame me for not telling you in advance, brothers and sisters don't have to do it!"
The team set off again, and Xing Zheng smiled awkwardly, "Sister Xin, why are you talking so seriously? Who can I tell, isn't it just you and elder brother? I found that you are really suitable for the palace, and you have an official role!"
"Stop talking, be quiet!"
Arriving at a place in the outskirts, the bearers did not go any further, and Xing Zheng was ordered to wait there.Hong Xin helped Wu Yue, who was blindfolded, out of the sedan chair, and slowly led her towards a path ahead.Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Xing Zheng raised his eyes to look at Wu Yue, and then pretended to look at other places around him.
Hong Xin is not a person who can explain too much, treating Wu Yue kindly is already looking at Xun's face, he confessed in a few words to pass on to Xun Rang, turned around and took two steps, then turned back, and gave Wu Yue a word of advice, "Although as long as you eat and sleep well, it's the same everywhere, but you should also pay attention to how she treats you. I don't ask you to repay her kindness, at least don't repay her kindness, so you can do it yourself."
Wu Yue bowed her head in silence, she couldn't see her expression clearly, Hong Xin didn't stop and returned with an empty sedan chair.
Xing Zheng's curiosity was completely stifled by Hong Xin, but that was only Xing Zheng's faking in order not to arouse suspicion.
After confirming the appearance of the woman in the painting, Xing Zheng was even more certain, "My lord, the person I saw is her!"
"It seems that he knows something because he took action so quickly." Ren Baishui narrowed his eyes, and after pondering, "Xing Zheng, do you remember where they went?"
"Of course, since your lord gave her orders, I became more vigilant when I thought that she might be the person your lord was looking for. It's just that after the sedan stopped, I didn't insist on following to avoid suspicion. I guess the distance will not be too far."
Ren Baishui thought in his heart and checked step by step, "How likely is it to see her again?"
"This..." Xing Zheng was troubled, "It is very likely that the private past will be exposed, and if you find a chance to follow him, you can't avoid people's ears and eyes. I'm afraid it will not be easy."
"I understand, Xing Zheng, you've done a good job." Ren Baishui relaxed his expression, and finally his face was no longer tense. "Is there any difficulty? Did Xiang Xun suspect you?"
"Not at all." Xing Zheng was flattered by Ren Baishui's compliment, "Your Excellency, you can leave the matter to me with confidence, and I will do my best!"
"You still can't be careless, the real hero is brave and resourceful." Ren Baishui personally brought a teapot to add tea for Xingzheng, "I will tell the emperor everything at that time, and you will be a great hero, Xingzheng, General Xing."
"Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it, it's all up to Mr. Ren to think highly of it, replace tea with wine, this cup is toast to you!"
Clinking glasses bluntly, Ren Baishui blew away the tea leaves floating on the surface of the cups. After receiving such valuable news, Ren Baishui happily entertained Xing Zheng.
In the palace, Master Li of the Ministry of War conveyed all good things. He recruited talents and discovered many talents hidden among the people, so he came to announce the good news to Princess Wanming.On behalf of the emperor's grace, Wan Ming and Xiang Xun drove the barracks all the way to visit the three armies.
The bustling crowd gathered on both sides of the road to watch the excitement, the scene that seemed familiar, but it was already a different atmosphere.Not to the extent of praising and praising, but at least Xiang Xun and Wan Ming traveled side by side, the resistance of the people was much less, and many people waved their hands.Xiang Xun is the orthodox emperor, which is a deep-rooted complex in the hearts of the people in Jingdi created by the century-old foundation created by the Xiang family.The national mourning has faded away. Compared with the harshness of the hearsay, it is a fact that Xiang Xun's actions after he became a son-in-law benefited the common people widely. However, Xiang Xun led the troops to fight against the Si Kingdom, and led the soldiers of Jingdi to recover the land that was lost in the hands of the original army. Sheng Bin, who won a complete victory and returned with glory, is actually a grand event that makes the people of Jingdi proud.Unknowingly, the aspirations of the people in Jingdi are beyond the control of rumors.
Wan Ming walked around Xiang Xun's arm, held Xiang Xun's palm, looked at each other and smiled, encouraged or comforted, everything was said without saying a word.
"When I came here, I was the third princess of the original dynasty, and you were the third son-in-law of the original dynasty. Now, you are their parent officer, and I seem to have become the daughter-in-law of this land."
Obviously knowing what Wan Ming meant, Xiang Xun always wanted to play tricks on Wan Ming, and frowned, "Why does this generation sound so messy?"
"Is it messy?" Wan Ming deliberately asked back, and Xiang Xun just nodded to admit it, and Wan Ming continued, "But a three-year-old child can understand it, so how can this be explained?"
Xiang Xun opened his eyes wide, "You turned the corner and said I'm not as good as a three-year-old child?"
"Is there? I didn't say that." Wan Ming smiled and bent her eyes, stopped looking at Xun, and turned her head to respond to the enthusiastic people on the side of the road who kept waving.
Xiang Xun was defeated, but it didn't affect his good mood at all. With a smile on his lips, he arrived at the barracks smoothly all the way.
The recruitment period is over half, and the number of soldiers has exceeded expectations. Starting from the afternoon, Wan Ming and Xiang Xun need to parade, first as a whole, and then as a team. Since all parties are deeply satisfied with the soldiers recruited this time, Wan Ming and Xiang Xun need to see more experience.The banquet afterwards was also a ceremony, and Wan Ming and Xiang Xun would also sit on the main seats, and they would probably stay in the barracks until nightfall.
The recruits on the training ground were ready, uniformed their attire, and looked even more heroic, which showed that the rumors were true.Wan Ming and Xiang Xun boarded the high platform from the left side, caught off guard, Xiang Xun felt an inexplicable gaze sweep over him, and when he wanted to look for it, he couldn't find the source among the soldiers who were waiting neatly, in a trance like an illusion .
After both Wan Ming and Xiang Xun sat down, they beat the drums, and the military parade officially started. Only then did Wan Ming have a gap to ask Xiang Xun.
"What happened just now? Why did it stop suddenly?"
"It seems that I saw someone familiar, but I must have misread it, it's okay."
After Xiang Xun said this, Wan Ming stopped asking questions and focused on the performance of the recruits.On the whole, Wan Ming and Xiang Xun's expectations were not disappointed, and Xiang Xun's strange eyes never appeared again until a group of one hundred people separated from thousands of soldiers and stood in front of Xiang Xun. When he met that gaze, he was sure at first glance, but he was full of inconceivable, even absurd.
The competition and competition among the recruits began, Xiang Xun finally resisted the urge to stand up, and it was inconvenient to stare at him all the time, and his mind was full of questions that could not be answered.But Wan Ming saw Xiang Xun's unusual behavior, and never found a chance to ask him carefully.
At the dinner party, that gaze disappeared again, but Xiang Xun couldn't sit still anymore, so he left the table with an excuse and began to look for it himself.Wan Ming couldn't follow her, but she was even more convinced that something was wrong.
There are too few clues, but fortunately the military camp is not big, when Xiang Xun searched methodically, but still found nothing, a figure flashed past him at a slow speed, as if he was going to lure Xiang Xun to a certain place.Without hesitation, Xiang Xun followed immediately, completely away from the noisy dinner party, came to the back of the barracks with dim light, and stopped in Xiang Xun's footsteps, convinced that the person was nearby and there was no need to chase after him.
Xiang Xun looked around intently, the wind was blowing, and the unusual wind was coming from the right rear. Xiang Xun turned sideways to avoid the force of the surprise attack, and was about to raise his hand to fight back. After seeing the man's true face, Xiang Xun unconsciously withdrew his hand.
In order to avoid attracting attention to Xiang Xun, someone grabbed Xiang Xun's arm and took Xiang Xun away from the barracks with light work.
