Chapter 252 The Second King
"Ma'am, there are a few more old men."
Wen Peilan saw the old man who had mixed into the Jia family's team at a glance, "What if he doesn't control his strength... Look, should we tell the old man?"
“…”
Shen Ning did not answer immediately. Instead, she looked at those who were beaten and said, "Wohe's legs and hand bones are broken. Tell me, how can he still have the energy to do this?"
This? Wen Peilan's eyes also moved to the group of people who gave gifts.
They should be ordinary people! "There should be quite a few of them in the capital."
Shen Ning leaned back and closed her eyes slightly. "Wohe is just a chess piece thrown in front of us, ready to be thrown at any time."
Now that Wohe is asking for the throne from their tribe, those people probably wish he were dead.
"Find someone who can run fast and throw a letter into his room, saying that someone wants to use the Jia family to kill him."
What? Wen Peilan didn't quite understand, but it didn't matter, just listen, "I know where to find someone." She glanced at Xiaodong and Xiaonan, "Madam, I'll leave this to you for now. If anything goes wrong, call me uncle immediately."
"Uh-huh!"
The two maids immediately went on alert.
The carriage pulled to the side of the road, and Shen Ning looked at Wen Peilan, "You should also be careful, don't let the other party recognize you."
"Don't worry, ma'am. I have experience in this matter."
If someone in the underworld didn't have this ability, she would have died eight hundred times already.
Wen Peilan got out of the car with a smile and quickly walked into the alley nearby.
In Huitong Hall, Wohe was lying on the bed, wondering who the person from the tribe would be if he came.
I was also wondering who would, for the sake of the overall situation, give up the position of flag leader and withdraw from the political circle.
His elder brother Tie Bao, who is from the same lineage, would definitely not agree. He is in his prime, and the Zhenglan Banner has not had direct contact with the Russians. He has a strong army and horses, so he will never withdraw, and no one can force him to withdraw.
In addition, he also told his brother Tiebao Wang that as long as he fought for him in the clan, he would follow his lead in the future.
With the brothers working together and the support of Dazhao, they will definitely achieve something.
No matter whether he believes these words or not, since they are brothers, even if they do not have the same mother, for the sake of his father and the reinforcements from Dazhao, I think he will give his full support.
That……
Wohe thought of the three flags that were almost crippled by the Russians.
The Bordered White Banner suffered the most serious losses, and now there are probably less than a thousand people able to fight.
For the sake of Dazhao's reinforcements, I think the uncle will consider the overall situation. Even if he is unwilling to do so..., everyone will force him to hand over what he should hand over.
Well, that's it.
Emperor Da Zhao named Wen Niang the Princess of Rongguo. Wasn't it just to raise her status and suppress her wife, as well as all the aunts, aunts, and sisters-in-law?
For the sake of his reinforcements, everyone will give him this face.
When he recovers from his injuries, he will take Wen Niang back home...
Humph, what is Princess Rong? The Central Plains dynasty has only stopped marrying off princesses since the previous dynasty. There were many in the past. How many of them could live long? What did the emperors say when they died? As long as Luosha withdraws its troops and rests for a few years, the tribe will be strong again. By then...
Woher was daydreaming, but he didn't expect the window to be suddenly broken by something and the cold wind blew in.
"who?"
Woher is afraid of death.
He picked up the knife at hand on the spot.
But, apparently no one was there.
"Lord Baylor~"
The guys at Huitong Hall received a lot of tips from him and treated him like a ancestor these days. Even though no doctor on the street was willing to treat the injuries of Wohe and others, he took the large sum of money they gave him and secretly hired a money-loving doctor.
Hearing the noise in the room, he immediately shouted and ran in.
"Look what's on the ground?"
A paper ball wouldn't have that much power.
Woher motioned for the guy to pick it up.
"Oh, sir, this is bad."
The guy opened the paper wrapped around the stone, his face turned pale with shock, and he quickly brought it to him to show him.
"Run! Jia Zhen is back and is here to avenge Madam Shen. There are a few people with ulterior motives in his team and they want to take your life."
What? Wo He propped himself up in shock and shouted anxiously, "Is there a hiding place in Huitong Hall?"
"Ah? No...no!"
The guy was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead.
If he serves this man well, he will never have to worry for the rest of his life.
In just a few days, he earned more money than he could earn in several lifetimes.
"Let's go to the stables!"
Woher had seen that there was a lot of hay piled up in the stable.
He could hide there.
"Hey, I'll carry you."
When he carried him to the stable at the back door, he heard a noisy sound coming from the front yard.
It was Jia Zhen and his men who came to kill us.
At this time, Wen Peilan had already returned to Shen Ning's carriage, "Woher got a bargain this time."
Is it cheap? Not necessarily!
Listening to the shouting and howling coming from inside, Shen Ning's mouth twitched, "His followers are all highly skilled in martial arts. They can't beat Wohe, but it's also a good thing to cripple those people."
If you want Dazhao to send troops, at least two princes must come from there.
So Shen Ning was not in a hurry at all about beating people.
If they really kill him in one go, it would be an easy thing for those people.
"Let's go, let's go back."
The death of one or two followers would not be enough to punish Jia Zhen.
What's more, this time there were indeed civilians involved.
When Shen Ning's carriage and the yamen runners from Shuntian Prefecture who came to rescue passed by, more than a hundred miles away, Prince Zheng Tiebao and Prince Li Suo Jin were leading their personal guards and rushing towards the capital at full speed.
They received Woher's letter.
This was not at all what they had originally thought.
How many battles had the two families fought? If the Luosha Kingdom had not come to attack, with their friendship with the various Tatar tribes, they might have been able to take advantage of the Central Plains Dynasty's weakness and attack again with mutual assistance.
Unfortunately, the Rakshasa Kingdom came to attack.
Neither of them could spare any manpower to help the others.
You can only ask for help from Dazhao.
Originally they thought that since they had already bowed their heads, the Dazhao Emperor, thinking of the land he had always coveted, would lend a hand. However, they did not expect that he would really not give them any face because of Wohe's identity and the Jia family's trouble.
He even named a concubine's daughter of the Jia family as a princess.
Hiss~ If they didn't need a favor, if they didn't have any other choice, they would never come here.
"Your Majesty, our Saker Falcon!"
The guard who was speaking whistled, and a Saker Falcon flying north let out a sharp, high-pitched cry, breaking through the air.
"Oh~~"
Everyone reined in their horses.
The Saker Falcon swooped down in unison with its voice and perched on the guard's outstretched shoulder.
"My Lord, there is a letter!"
The guard hurriedly took the letter tied to its paw out of the bamboo tube.
Since Suo Jin was older than him, Tie Bao gave way and let him look first.
"...The Jia family is indeed difficult to deal with."
Suo Jin handed the letter to Tie Bao again, "It seems we have to help Wo He and remarry his wife."
All everyone wants is face.
The Emperor of Dazhao allowed the Jia family to jump around in front only because he took advantage of the fact that they now had no one but him to beg for help.
"Remarry then!"
Tie Bao didn't care much when he saw the secret agent saying that the team sent by Wo He to deliver gifts yesterday was driven out of Ningrong Street by the Jia family.
Woher is his brother, and since his brother is a great helper, of course he has to give him face.
Isn't it just silver?
It's not like I took it from him.
This time, the budget for marrying Princess Rong is 300,000 taels of silver.
Once they establish a relationship with the Jia family, they will have a budget of one million taels for gifts.
In short, this time, his and Uncle Suo Jin's mission was to spend money.
"As long as we can borrow soldiers, anything is fine."
What's a little silver?
Wait until the Rakshasa troops withdraw, wait until they and Dazhao create the illusion of peace for a few years, and then attack again, and we will be able to earn back tenfold or a hundredfold.
Tie Bao rolled up the letter and threw it to the guard, "Let it go back and report the news!"
"yes!"
The guard quickly stuffed the letter back into the bamboo tube, and after making a few low and obscure sounds with the Saker Falcon, it made another "cry" sound, spread its wings and flew high, circling slightly in the sky, and gradually turned into a black dot in the direction it originally went.
"Hello~"
Tie Bao clapped his hands and the team set off again.
At two quarters past noon, the emperor, who had just finished lunch and was about to take a nap, received the news that the second prince had arrived.
Liu An hesitated to speak.
"Just tell me what you want to say. Why are you hesitating?"
The emperor was in a very good mood with the arrival of two powerful princes.
"Your Majesty~"
Liu An looked at his expression and said with a smile, "This morning, Jia Zhen returned to the capital and saw that Madam Shen was injured. He was furious and took people to Huitong Hall again."
What? The emperor frowned, but soon relaxed his brows.
If Woher were dead, someone would have reported it long ago.
As long as you're not dead, nothing else matters.
"Just go. It's just a filial act for him. What's wrong with that?"
If Mrs. Shen hadn't reminded him, he would have been holding his nose to meet Wohe.
Humph~ A bunch of bastards. They asked him for something, but they dared to look down on him and only sent a mere beile over.
"Hehe, that's what I thought too."
Liu An really laughed. "Maybe Shuntianfu and Wucheng Bingmasi all thought the same. They waited for him to fight for a while before going over. But..."
At this point, he paused, "Wohe was a smart man. He might have heard something wrong and spent a lot of money to bribe the waiter at Huitong Hall, who then hid the hay in the stable without telling him. But it is said that two of the guards around him were beaten to death by an old man who was not from the Jia family."
Hmm? The emperor laughed, "Someone has sneaked into the Jia family's team?"
"yes!"
Liu An nodded, "But Jia Zhen said that the two guards were just unlucky and jumped out of the window to avoid the sticks and died. Then the people of Shuntian Prefecture investigated and agreed with Jia Zhen's statement."
emperor:"……"
He feels pretty good.
However, Mr. Dong...
"What does Dong Xiaoquan say?"
He was very worried about Jia Zhen.
Dong Xiaoquan didn't give anyone any face in the case.
"Wo He was found out, and he agreed with Jia Zhen's statement, so Shuntian Prefecture did not file a case."
"……Hahaha……"
The emperor laughed, "Why did you report this good news only now?"
If he had known this earlier, he would have been happy sooner!
"Your Majesty, aren't you always busy?"
Liu An smiled and said, "I was planning to tell you in the evening."
"...Speak up sooner next time."
The emperor did not need him to be so considerate, and said, "Otherwise I will be too happy and unable to sleep for a while, which would be bad."
“Hey~”
Liu An nodded quickly, "I'll remember that."
"Hmm~"
The emperor happily took a sip of tea and said, "Ask the imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital to check on Jia Zhen. In case he accidentally stretched his arm when he was beating someone."
So, not long after, He Yuanzheng, who had seized the emperor's order, came to the Jia family.
Fortunately, he was the head of the hospital and he was the one who saw Mrs. Shen's hand, otherwise, he would not be able to snatch it away.
What he didn't expect was that as soon as he arrived at Ningrong Street, he saw a group of Jia family men, young and old, and the palace guards beating someone up.
Goodness! Just look at the armor those people are wearing and you can tell where they are from.
"He is here to treat the injuries of the Jia family members under the order of the emperor. Anyone who is injured, please come to He!"
Dean He was lifting the curtain of the carriage and shouting at the two fighting parties.
"retreat!"
Tie Bao looked at He Yuanzheng deeply, and when he said to retreat, he had already turned his horse around and walked away.
They learned from Wohe's lesson, so of course, no one was willing to take the job when they wanted to invite people to come and give gifts. This time, they brought experienced personal guards. Although the Jia family's guards were powerful, they could not use swords, only sticks. If they hadn't held back, the Jia family didn't know how many people would have been beaten to the point of being unable to get up.
Tiebao did a face-saving job and then led his men back to Huitong Hall.
"How many people with the surname He are there in the Imperial Hospital?"
They can't do anything to the Jia family, so can't they vent their anger on the little imperial physician?
The brother was badly injured, but there was no imperial physician to treat him. He looked for a doctor on the street, but when he heard about Huitongguan, no one was willing to come.
How dare He say that he was ordered by the emperor to treat the injuries of the Jia family? Tie Bao was so angry that he asked the curator.
"what?"
The director's face turned pale. "There are many people with the surnames Liu, Zhang, and Bai in the Imperial Hospital, but there is only one with the surname He, and that's Director He."
What? Tie Bao's eyes darkened, and he and Prince Li Suo Jin looked at each other, both of them looking very ugly.
The resistance of the Dazhao government and the people to them was too obvious.
Can we really invite these reinforcements? "Aren't they afraid that we will surrender to the Rakshasa Kingdom?"
After driving away the outsiders, Tiebao paced around the room restlessly.
“…What’s the hurry?”
Suo Jin was older, so he thought about it and said, "Didn't the secret agent send a message a long time ago that Dazhao was already preparing to deal with Luosha? Now it's like this..., they should still be looking for a place to fight."
They shouldn't have left such a big thing to Woher alone.
But Shen from Ningguo Mansion said in front of so many people that he was not worthy.
Alas~ "The credentials have been delivered. You won't see us tomorrow, but you will definitely see us the day after tomorrow."
They will start to worry if he doesn’t show up the day after tomorrow.
"Let's go, while it's still early, hurry up."
They have to hurry up.
Show your attitude first.
If they give Wohe the throne, they are also willing to marry Princess Rongguo to him in a grand ceremony.
Princess Rongguo had three children, two boys who were both Beile and one daughter who was a Heshuo Gege.
Give enough face to Dazhao and the Jia family.
They don't want this face anymore...
Then we can only pretend to side with the Rakshasa Kingdom.
"Come here, prepare the horses."
