The guards of the Hami Palace's palace looked at this bearded man dressed as a businessman, and said disdainfully: "Which of our princes are you, not everyone can see you."
This guard spoke in an authentic Fengyang dialect, and the words he said were round.
It turned out that these palace guards were all the men and horses sent to him by Zhu Di when he sent Tokh back to Hami, and most of the soldiers in the palace did not understand the local language, but they played with a good official tone.
"Bold, Do You Know" Chen Dong was furious, and as soon as he said half a sentence, he was stopped by Xia Xun, what is his identity, there is no need to compete with a guard in the Hami Palace, Xia Xun said calmly: "Please return to the king of Zhongshun, just say that Yang Xu has arrived" "Which Yang Xu" is Yang?"
The guard was halfway through speaking, and suddenly opened his mouth to stammer, the Duke of Daming Fuguo was attacked and disappeared on the way to Hami, this matter has been spread throughout the Western Regions, and even the name of Xia Xun is known to everyone, no one knows, how come he has not heard of Yang Xu's name.
Ye An said: "Which one else is naturally my Ming Fuguo Gong arrived, so don't you report it quickly."
"You You" When the guard saw their image, he really couldn't connect with a prince, but no one dared to pretend to be this kind of identity that could be pierced at the first time, and the guard didn't dare to slack off, and stammered: "Work hard and wait a while, I will report to the prince immediately."
The guards rushed in, and when the other guards heard that the person in front of them was Yang Xu, the missing and lost Duke of the Auxiliary Kingdom, they couldn't help whispering, and they all looked at them with strange and surprised eyes, but they didn't dare to speak nonsense.
After a while, an official rushed out of the palace, dressed in a cyan official uniform, embroidered with a heron on his chest, and his sleeves were decorated with small flowers, his face was thin, and he had three locks of slight hair under his chin.
This chief official is the former member of the Ministry of Rites, Shi Zhou'an, the current head of the Zhongshun Palace, he looked at Xia Xun suspiciously, and hesitated: "Your Excellency is the official of the Duke of Fuguo, and the official has seen the Lord of the Fuguo Gong, but he still has some impressions, but" Xia Xun smiled slightly, and suddenly pulled out a snow-bright knife from his waist, the cold light was shining, extremely sharp, Zhou An was startled, hurriedly took a few steps back, and almost stumbled on the steps: "What are you doing?"
Xia Xun stroked his beard and sighed lightly: "This beard should be shaved." ” Xia Xun raised the knife and shaved his beard in front of the palace, the beard was shaved clean, it turned out to be a big man who looked very rough, full of heroism when he landed, with facial features and eyebrows, very handsome, the long history screamed, pointed at Xia Xun and said loudly: "It's the Auxiliary Guogong, it's really the Auxiliary Guogong Auxiliary Guogong is not dead, the Auxiliary Guogong is back, the prince" Zhou An turned around and just shouted halfway, and stumbled out of King Hami from behind the wall that greeted the door.
It turned out that Tokhtar heard that Fuguo Gong was alive, and it was outside his palace, he was also half-convinced, he wanted to welcome it out in person, and he was worried that in case it was not true, he had already welcomed out the dignified King Hami, and spread the word, and he couldn't help but call his cousins to see the joke, so he quickly called Changshi Zhou An, who was doing the beauty pageant for him.
When Zhou An was on an errand in the Ministry of Rites, he had seen Xia Xun on a side, and he had some vague impressions, so he came forward to distinguish the truth from the false, and the King of Hami hid behind the wall to listen to the news, and when he heard Zhou An's confirmation, the King of Hami hurriedly came out from behind, and greeted Xia Xun with a bow: "Oh, the Duke of the Kingdom, you are back, the government and the opposition only Dao Guogong has unfortunately been martyred" After a hard work, he realized that he was the king of the county, and his status was higher than that of the duke in front of him, so he straightened up again, stepped forward and grabbed Xia Xun's hand, and shook it affectionately: "Guogong, where have you been for more than half a year, Xiao Wang sent someone to search the eight hundred miles of Hanhai, and he couldn't find the whereabouts of Guogong, it's good that Guogong is back, it's good if he comes back, if the emperor knows, he must be very happy."
Xia Xun smiled and said, "This is not a place to talk, are we?"
King Hami slapped his forehead "ah" and said: "Yes, yes, it's the little king who is confused, the prince of the country, please enter the mansion quickly" At the moment, the king of Hami took Xia Xun into the palace in a hurry, sat down twice, served tea, asked about Xia Xun after the attack, Xia Xun was inconvenient to tell him all about his westward journey, he told the king of Hami that he and Liu Yujue fled in the wilderness, and met the business team in Luo Bu Naoer, and they helped each other, and rushed to Bei Lost Bali together, and met Saihazhi and others who were displaced here, and the next situation is inconvenient to talk about, only to say that because the war was imminent, the business travel was not good, they did not return in time, and they were in the Western Regions for several months, until Timur retreated, That's when I came back.
Rao is like this, and King Hami, who also listened, was amazed, and kept complimenting Xia Xun for not dying, and there will be a blessing in the future.
Xia Xun had no intention of being polite with him, and immediately asked about the whereabouts of the others after he was attacked, and King Hami said: "Guogong, at that time, your men and horses were scattered and fled, and the people who fled to Hami first bumped into the soldiers and horses sent by Xiao Wang to greet Guogong, and after explaining the situation, the people and horses who received them immediately went to the desert to respond.
Later, there were more than 800 survivors who escaped by themselves, and the remaining 2,000 or so sergeants were " Xia Xun's face darkened, and he asked again: "How is General Feng Blazing, my guard commander Lao Peng, is Keke alive?"
Zhou An on the side hurriedly said: "Guogong, General Feng is not dead, when our men and horses found him, General Feng was hit by two arrows in his back, a knife in the thigh, almost cut off the bones, the abdomen was also picked open by a shot, and the intestines flowed out, if it weren't for several pro-army guards desperately escorting him to escape, I'm afraid it would have been a long time ago, after we rescued General Feng, we have reported the news to Governor Song Sheng, because General Feng is seriously injured and should not move, so he stayed here to recuperate, and now he has just recovered, and he is planning to return to Ganliang in the near future."
Xia Xun was overjoyed and said busily: "Where is he now?"
Zhou An said: "Guogong doesn't need to worry, Xia Guan has sent someone to pick him up at General Feng's residence."
As for the captain's guard."
Zhou An and Hami King Totoh glanced at each other, and Totoku said: "Xiao Wang sent people to the desert to look for Guogong, all the way down, and found many frozen corpses, some of which have been gnawed by wild beasts and indescribable, and some of the corpses are still intact, and then the surviving soldiers identified them one by one, and tried to recognize their identities, one of them is the old spray."
Changshi Zhou'an sighed lightly: "This guard of the Duke of the Kingdom is very heroic, when our people found him, he had enough injuries on his body."
Xia Xun suddenly raised his hand to stop Zhou An's words, his cheeks twitched a few times in pain, and he said in a deep voice: "Lord Wang, the lower official wants to borrow your study" King Hami hurriedly stood up and said: "Yes, the return of the Duke of the Kingdom is a great joy, and it should be reported to the Emperor immediately, the Emperor is very sad after learning the news of the robbery of the Duke of Guo."
Zhou An quietly pulled his sleeve next to him, and King Hami immediately closed his mouth and said solemnly: "Guogong is here, please."
King Hami personally let Xia Xun into the study, stood under the corridor and whispered to Zhou An: "Go quickly, go quickly, stop in advance to choose a concubine, those beauties will find a place to settle down first, and it is important to receive the Duke of Fuguo now."
Zhou An also knew that although the Zhongshun King in front of him was older than the official of the auxiliary state, in terms of authority and status in front of the emperor, he couldn't catch up with the horse, so he hurriedly agreed and hurriedly ran to the side.
In the study, Xia Xun put the pen in his hand, thought about it a little, and then wrote with a pen, for most of the hour, Xia Xun wrote three letters, one was to the emperor, and he didn't say it too carefully, mainly to report peace.
One is a letter to his family, and he also expected that the news of his uncertain life and death must have brought a great impact to his family, but he was helpless at the time, and now he repairs a letter to his family first, so that his family can rest assured.
The last letter was addressed to the Marquis of Xining and the Pingqiang general Song Sheng, in addition to briefly explaining the process of his safe return, this letter focused on one thing: "Hu Shang Tuoba Mingde was the Annihilation of the Timurid Empire, and immediately controlled them after seeing the letter, and no one was allowed to escape, among which there was a person with the pseudonym Hu Qiqi's real name Yu Jian, this person had other identities, but he was suspected of collaborating with the enemy, so he must be controlled, and he will deal with it after he arrives."
Xia Xun admires Song Sheng's loyalty to the country very much, but people are selfish, and heroes who put themselves in a "public" position no matter what, only exist in legends.
Song Sheng had hugged the thigh of Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, and now he didn't know if he had a relationship with Ji Gang, because he couldn't say it too clearly in the letter, but since he deliberately named this person's name, he expected that Song Sheng would have a relationship with Ji Gang, and he didn't dare to release the water at this time.
Innocent people can't die in vain, this Yu Jian must pay the price, and he wants to use this matter to bring down Ji Gang In fact, Xia Xun didn't believe that Yu Jian's revelation that he was killed was due to Ji Gang's instructions, with his understanding of Ji Gang, although this person is unscrupulous in attacking political enemies, but the risk of fake enemy forces is too great, although Ji Gang is on the same page as him, but Ji Gang is now in a hurry, and he is not in a desperate situation and needs to take risks, Ji Gang will not make such a decision.
Moreover, his detailed itinerary was decided after arriving in Xiliang, even if Yu Jian had the heart to report to Ji Gang to make a decision, it was too late in time, this matter was undoubtedly discussed due to Yu Jian's personal behavior, but this is a political struggle to the death, and all means that can be used to hit political enemies can be used, just as Yu Jian dealt with him by unscrupulous means, he is not a neutral Qingtian master, and this matter must naturally be used well.
It doesn't matter whether Ji Gang is implicated or not, which of the big moves in the political arena is not from small to large, expanding the scope of attack Therefore, Tuoba Mingde, the witness, and Yu Jian, the mastermind, must be preserved, and leaving them is ironclad evidence To be continued:
