After three days, drink the right sweet liquid.

Two fast horses rushed into a Zhe Chong Mansion at a galloping speed.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, I have an emergency military report, get out of the way quickly!"

The two knights on horseback kept shouting. After entering Zhechong Mansion, their horse speed did not slow down. Instead, they continued to run forward, heading straight towards the middle tent.

Zhe Chong Mansion is a regular military unit. How can there be no response to such a big movement?

I saw the curtain of the middle barracks suddenly opened, and a general in armor strode out, his brows obviously furrowed and his face very unhappy.

But when he saw the two knights clearly, the displeasure on his face immediately turned into a kind of shock, and even under the shock, there was a faint hint of flattery.

He hurriedly stepped forward, his tone still shocked, and said: "General Manager, Seventh Manager, why are you two here? You two should be accompanying the family master to take stock of the property in Youzhou, right?"

Just as he was speaking, two knights immediately dismounted. The leader was a middle-aged man in his forties, followed by a capable man in his early thirties.

The two of them were panting heavily. Without speaking a word, they bent over and retched. After a long time, their breathing became somewhat calmer, and they immediately greeted hurriedly: "Quick, water, bring water. Our mouths are dry and our throats are dry."

It’s all smoke.”

The general in armor didn't dare to hesitate, turned around and ran into the camp himself. After only five or six breaths, he saw him coming out carrying two huge leather bags.

As expected of a military commander, his pace was fast, and with a few leaps of his feet, he stood in front of the two knights again.

Without saying a word, the two knights grabbed the leather bag and drank it fiercely. They coughed repeatedly because they drank so fast.

The general in armor couldn't help but speak out, and said cautiously: "Drink slowly, drink slowly, and after you two have quenched your thirst, my nephew, I will have a banquet immediately."

Unexpectedly, one of the knights shook his head instantly, and his tone was obviously unquestionable, and said: "No need, we will leave immediately!"

He paused for a moment, and then said: "Not only do we have to leave, but you, too, have to leave. Not only do you have to leave, but the soldiers also have to leave. We have to be fast, and the speed must be fast."

The general was stunned for a moment and said in astonishment: "What's going on? Why are you in such a hurry?"

He paused for a moment, hesitated a little, and then said: "I have not received military orders from the superior states and counties for the time being. Wouldn't it be a violation of military orders if I took the soldiers with me to set off? You two should know that,

The military laws of the Tang Dynasty were very strict. Anyone who violated the law would be punished."

He paused again and carefully explained: "And I am the captain of Zhechong who has spent a lot of effort in the family. Once I am punished by military law, my future will inevitably be blocked. This is a great deal for our family's efforts.

It is an extremely heartbreaking loss.”

"So what about losses?"

The slightly younger seventh manager suddenly shouted loudly and said sternly: "It's just a small loss for you. The family can bear it even if it feels distressed. But do you know how distressed the family will be because of the losses if you leave late?"

The armor general was startled again, his tone became more cautious, and he asked tentatively: "When I saw you two coming in person just now, I knew that there must be something important to say. Otherwise, just send a messenger from the family.

I don’t deserve to make you two suffer the hardship.”

At this time, the forty-year-old chief manager finally spoke and said in a deep voice: "The reason why we came here in person is because this matter cannot be taken lightly. If we just send a messenger here casually, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make your kid obey. For example

Didn’t you just politely refuse? Even if we two came here in person, you were not willing to let the soldiers leave..."

These words have a vague meaning of knocking.

The armored general was startled and hurriedly defended: "General Manager, you are my fourth grandfather. You should know that my nephew will never dare to disobey the family's wishes. The main reason is that the military law of the Tang Dynasty is extremely strict, and

It’s true that I haven’t received any military messages from the state or county here.”

He was obviously very frightened, and his defense was fast and urgent, and then said: "As the captain of Zhechong, you cannot act rashly without orders. Once you act rashly, you will violate military law. Those who came from Tiance Mansion will definitely

If they come out, they will definitely remove my Lieutenant Zhechong..."

"Now our aristocratic family faction has lost its strength in the military, so my position as Captain Zichong is extremely important to the family... It is precisely because of this concern that my nephew..."

Unfortunately, before he finished his defense, the seventh manager had already waved his hand to interrupt and said sternly: "Don't talk nonsense, break camp immediately. The entire Zhechong Mansion's soldiers must set off within half an hour. We are fighting for it now.

It’s time, and we must not lose it to Zhechong Mansion from other places.”

"But military literature..." The general hesitated.

At this time, the general manager spoke again and said: "You don't have to worry about the issue of military documents. The superior states and counties have already sent it out, but it is still on the way and has not been in your hands for the time being. But we can't sit there and wait.

, we must immediately let the soldiers break camp and set off."

After all, he is the chief manager, and his demeanor is much calmer than that of the seventh manager. He slowly said: "Bingwen is a small matter, you can accept it on the road. As long as you accept the military document, it doesn't matter even if there is a time difference, no one will hold you accountable.

This matter can be settled even if we pursue it. But it is a big matter to seize time, and we cannot delay it for a moment. The family is worried that you have concerns, so we asked Lao Qi and I to come here in person."

As he spoke, the chief manager slapped his waist and sighed: "It took me and Lao Qi only three days to travel more than 2,700 miles. It was as if we were going crazy along the way.

Grandpa, I seem to be back to the time when I was young again. I was full of energy, gritted my teeth and held on hard. I rode a horse for three consecutive days and I, an old guy in my forties, actually managed to survive."

In this era, people in their forties can already be regarded as old guys, so he is not exaggerating. It is reasonable and reasonable to call himself an old man.

The armor-wearing general's face became obviously solemn, and he said thoughtfully: "Fourth grandfather and seventh brother are working so hard. It is obvious that this matter is really important to the family..."

He suddenly made up his mind and said loudly: "Okay, I won't wait for the military document. I will send the order now and let the soldiers assemble immediately."

The seventh steward next to him couldn't help but add: "We must be fast, we must be fast. Even if we just have a little more breathing time, maybe our Luoyang Chen family can be ranked among the top three."

The general suddenly turned around and shouted loudly at a few soldiers not far away, saying: "Quickly pass on my order. The soldiers of the government will prepare immediately. They will break out of the camp first and then collect the accounts. After half an hour, 1,300 people from the government will

The troops must be gathered..."

He paused for a moment, then added: "Give me the order again, go to the civilian camp nearby and ask them to prepare to set off immediately, and they will also gather in half an hour."

The soldiers responded loudly and then ran wildly into the distance.

After the armored general issued the order, he felt that the eagerness of Fourth Grandpa and Seventh Brother had calmed down a little. He turned back with curiosity in his eyes and cautiously asked: "Fourth Grandpa, Seventh Brother, now I

Can I ask, what kind of big event is it?"

But he saw the chief manager sighing with emotion, suddenly reached out and patted his shoulder, and said in a very gentle tone: "Chen Luo, you are the only member of the family in the military. Although your rank is not too high,

But being the captain of Zhechong, which can be regarded as having military power, is a great protection for our family. Therefore, the family will not affect your future unless it is absolutely necessary..."

The seventh steward next to him suddenly spoke and said loudly: "But this time is different, we have to fight hard."

As he spoke, he looked at the armored general and said with a solemn face: "Old Thirteen, listen carefully. Although we are not biological brothers, we have broken bones and connected tendons. You may wish to recall whether I have harmed Brother Seven.

Have you ever been in your situation?"

Armor General Chen Luo looked solemn and said quickly: "Brother Qi, what are you talking about? I, Chen Luo, can only have the support of my family today. Especially you, Brother Qi, gave up this position in the first place, otherwise today's victory will be lost."

The captain should be you, and I will be arranged by the family to go into business..."

The seventh manager waved his hand and said: "There is no need to say such things. Since I gave in to the seventh brother back then, I gave in. The reason why I let you is because you are more suitable to join the army, and I am good at business, so I want to be a merchant...

…These things are private matters between us brothers, and there is no need to keep them in mind all the time, but what I am going to say next, you must take it as a top priority and remember it."

Armor General Chen Luo quickly puffed up his chest and said solemnly: "Seventh brother, please tell me, I promise to keep it in mind."

But he saw Manager Seven exhale slowly, with a vague look of disbelief in his eyes, as if although three days had passed, he was still shocked by this incident. He only heard him slowly say: "On the third day of the month,

Days ago, the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty held a morning court in Youzhou. This morning court lasted for a long time, and it was said that the court did not disperse until noon... And among the big bosses who attended the morning court this time, there were four people who had never been there.

People who are courting.”

"The Hidden King of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jiancheng!"

"Lord Youyun, Gu Tianya!"

"Princess Pingyang, Li Xiuning!"

"Prince Yunzhou, baby tiger!"

As the seventh steward said these four names, Armor General Chen Luo was obviously shaken, and subconsciously blurted out, full of disbelief: "This..."

It's a pity that he was interrupted by the seventh steward with a wave of his hand before he said a word. He only heard the seventh steward say in a deep voice: "Although we are from aristocratic families, we are like bells and whistles in the eyes of the people, but we ourselves know our situation."

, our identities are incomparable to the four just now..."

"Since their identities are so different, we shouldn't guess the intentions of these four big guys in attending the morning court. Because guessing is pointless. The level difference between them is too big. Even the little tiger cub who is only three years old

, what he saw and stood for also eclipses us.”

"So we don't speculate on why they went to court. We only focus on what happened after they went to court."

When the seventh steward said this, his eyes were fixed on the armored general. Suddenly he exhaled slowly and said with a more solemn expression: "In this morning meeting, Gu Tianya took out six new coins of mother's money.

, it is said that the mother money of each new currency is so beautiful that it directly fascinated the civil and military officials of the entire court and even the emperor. Gu Tianya also took the opportunity to make an agreement with the big guys that he would

Consider the mother money of the first batch of new coins as a prize..."

At this time, the general manager spoke up again, and slowly said with deep meaning: "This is a way to drive people away for profit, and it is also a fun game between big guys. However, for them it is a game, but for them it is a game.

For us, this is a bet that we must fight for..."

"Betting?" The armored general was slightly startled.

The general manager nodded slowly and said: "Yes, gambling. In fact, it is not just gambling, but also fighting. We have to fight for time and lead the soldiers to the assembly point outside Youzhou City as quickly as possible. Once we can enter

The top three, then Gu Tianya will reward them with the mother money of new coins."

The chief steward paused while speaking, with a hint of longing in his eyes, and then said: "It is said that there are six types of newly minted coins, but the mother coins of the new coins are not just six. Instead, each coin has six mother coins.

Each kind of mother coin has three thousand pieces, and the total number is eighteen thousand pieces."

"Eighteen thousand mother coins may sound like a lot. But the Tang Dynasty is known as the five hundred aristocratic families. If you add in the new aristocratic families that have emerged from the Tiance Mansion, the number will be over a thousand... of these more than a thousand families, each family

Everyone wants to get mother’s money.”
