"It's me! I'm Zhao Cheng!"
A man in ragged clothes got off his horse. Just the smell of his clothes made even Du Ziteng frown.
"How could you be like this? Didn't you escort that lady to Suiyang?"
After lifting up the guy's hair, Du Ziteng asked curiously.
"Where is the king? I have urgent matters here!"
"Wait here!"
Hearing what he said, Du Ziteng stopped talking nonsense. This guy has always been with the prince, so he shouldn't say that he doesn't know the seriousness. The words "extremely urgent" are not just said casually.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Cheng is back. He said he has urgent matters and needs to see you!"
"Zhao Cheng? The one who escorted Miss Dou to Suiyang?"
This guy came to see me now. Could it be that something happened to Dou Muyao?
"Yes, that's the one!"
"Take me to see him!"
Liu Deng suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. It didn't take long to get from Chang'an to Suiyang. It only took more than half a month at most. But this guy came back to find him after such a long time. Is it possible? Did something really happen on the road?
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry for you. I failed to fulfill my duty and the young lady was kidnapped!"
After more than three months, Zhao Cheng saw Liu Deng again. As soon as these words were spoken, the tears immediately flowed out.
"What did you say? Tell me clearly!"
Liu Deng was really anxious all of a sudden. In any case, the little girl and he were considered husband and wife. It had been a few months, and this guy suddenly came out and said that the person had been kidnapped. This made How could he not be in a hurry?
"Back to your Majesty, not long after we left Chang'an, as soon as we arrived at Hongnong County, Miss Dou fell ill. She was ill for more than two months. She didn't go on the road again until the day before yesterday, but she met her before it got dark. A group of strong men, I tried my best but failed to rescue the young lady. I asked the local government for help, but they ignored it. In desperation, the young lady had no choice but to return to Chang'an and prepare to ask for help from His Highness the Crown Prince. When passing by the inn on the road, I heard what they said The king is on his way to Beijing, so he came here at starry night!"
After hearing what he said, Liu Deng's face suddenly turned ugly.
"Didn't you show them your identity badge? Didn't you say that the people in the car were escorted by me?"
"The younger ones have said it, but the dog officials in Hongnong County seem to be in the same group with those people. No matter what we say, they just don't listen!"
"Du Ziteng, send someone back to mobilize 300 Shenwu troops for me to rush to Hongnong County. I will write a letter now and rush to Chang'an at night. It must be handed over to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Liu Deng's face was extremely ugly. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. If Zhao Cheng didn't reveal his identity, it would be reasonable for the local magistrate to ignore him. But since he had already taken out the badge of acting as a guard of the prince's palace, If the other party still ignores it, it seems that they are coming for you.
If you can even endure this, am you still a man?
"Your Majesty, you must not do it. You will lose your head if you mobilize troops privately!"
Although Du Ziteng also knew that Liu Deng was very anxious now, the matter of mobilizing troops privately was not a joke.
"Who said that the king is deploying his troops privately? According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, when the king goes on patrol, he should naturally be accompanied by three hundred guards. They are my retinues!"
Liu Deng turned his head sharply and stared at Du Ziteng with his eyes, murderous intent flashing in his eyes. Du Ziteng felt his scalp numb, and he no longer dared to talk nonsense.
"No!"
"Tell them, I will only give them three days. If they don't come within three days, the whole army will be killed!"
Even if it takes one person and three horses to return to Dai Kingdom from here, it will take a day without stopping day and night. In this case, it takes two days to drive directly from Dai Kingdom to Hongnong County. This is simply an impossible task ¡
But now, looking at Liu Deng¡¯s murderous look, who dares to say nonsense here.
Liu Deng didn't have time to talk nonsense. He returned to the carriage. After finding paper and pen, he wrote a letter as fast as a dragon and snake, briefly explaining the situation, and then immediately sent someone to Chang'an.
Although it is important for the princes and kings to come to Beijing to pay homage, this matter involves Dou Muyao's life and death after all. If he delays it any longer,??, God knows what will happen.
The little girl left a pretty good impression on Liu Deng. After all, they had known each other for a while. Even if they didn't have the status of husband and wife, he couldn't just sit back and watch, let alone now. I think the Dou family is in Chang'an City. His Royal Highness should be able to cover up the forces inside.
¡°Turn around and rush to Hongnong County day and night, you lead the way!¡±
Hongnong County is located between Chang'an and Liang State. Its approximate location is equivalent to the junction of Shanxi and Shaanxi in later generations. There are many mountain roads along the way. This comfortable four-wheeled carriage is completely useless. Liu Deng simply left a few A bodyguard, accompanying the chariot with gifts presented to the imperial court, went all the way to Beijing first.
And he himself took a war horse and directly led the brigade to gallop towards Hongnong County.
Along the way, he traveled day and night. Except for changing horses when passing through the inn, Liu Deng had almost no rest at all, because he finally arrived at Hongnong County at noon on the second day.
"Where is the accident? Take me to see it!"
Liu Deng¡¯s face was gloomy and frightening along the way. The other party had done such a big thing, and it was impossible to say that there were no traces left behind.
"No!"
After Zhao Cheng identified the direction again, he led the team and set off again along the official road.
"Your Majesty, this is it! There are about forty people in that group, and they are all very skilled and very organized in their actions. They don't look like ordinary mountain bandits, but rather like guards or guards of wealthy families. It¡¯s the army!¡±
After riding for about half an hour, a small valley appeared in front of Liu Deng. Hongnong County was mountainous, and even the official roads were built along the mountains. It was already the cold winter season, and there were few people on the official roads. Although it had passed It has been many days, but the traces of the fighting on the official road are still there.
There were even stains of blood in many places. It seemed that Zhao Cheng and the others had fought hard at that time.
"Search for me and see if there are any valuable clues?"
With a gloomy look on his face, Liu Deng took the lead in dismounting his horse and began to search on the 4th week.
¡°Your Majesty, look quickly!¡±
Soon, a guard came over with a feather arrow in his hand. Liu Deng took a closer look and saw that there seemed to be some vague words engraved on the arrow shaft.
