Chapter 11 The Holy Driving South (2)

He entrusted government and military affairs to Han Yu and Sun Chengzong, and instructed Xu Ruying, who came to see him off, Zhou Yingning and Concubine Zhou Yingning to take good care of their children and herself, then stepped on the war horse and ordered the Imperial Guard to set off!

The emperor's personal expedition was synonymous with extravagance and waste. Zhu Yinglong strictly required simplicity. His living standards were all in line with Yuan Chonghuan. All the ceremonial wars that were useless were withdrawn. No clear water and clean roads or yellow sand paving were allowed to appear. This was to go to war, not to go to the mountains and rivers, and he ate whatever the officers and soldiers ate, and he also lived in any tent. Yuan Chonghuan asked him to walk on the water several times, but Zhu Yinglong did not agree. He insisted on walking with the army. Even if he was walking at the end, he would go on and ride a horse himself and refused to take a car. Even Xiong Hu, Li Qing and other women were treated the same as they wanted to follow the south, and that was the only way!

Yuan Chonghuan originally had a good time because of Zhu Yinglong. He suggested that Zhu Yinglong take a boat and walk along the canal by waterway. In fact, Pahe followed him. The army was too slow to reach the assembly site in time, so he wanted Zhu Yinglong to separate from the army. This would not only make the emperor suffer less, but also not delay the speed of the army's advancement. However, unexpectedly, Zhu Yinglong persisted all the way.

It took seven days to walk from Beijing to Xuzhou. According to the calculation that it is about 1,400 miles per day, but in fact, the distance of marching every day is more than 200 miles, so the actual road is at least 1,500 miles.

When I arrived outside Xuzhou City, I could already see the outline of the tall wall of Xuzhou City. Zhu Yinglong looked up at the sky and thought to himself that he could spend the night in Xuzhou City tonight, and he didn't need to stay in a tent. He hadn't taken a shower for a few days, and he had a little stinky smell on his body.

"Report to the Emperor, Jiangsu Governor Chang, Governor Qian, Censor Liu, Xuzhou Prefect and some local officials are waiting outside the city!" Yi Feiqi saluted to report that since he was in the army, he was the commander of the first army, Zhu Yinglong ordered that the kneeling ceremony would not be performed, and all the new military salutes were used and military terms were used.

"How many miles are we still from Xuzhou City?"

"There are almost ten miles left."

"Where is the position of Deputy General Yuan?" Zhu Yinglong asked.

The army is still moving, so we can only roughly estimate that Zhuoba, as the chief national policy consultant, can only answer this question, and said: "Emperor, Deputy General Yuan takes the lead. According to his marching speed, he should probably be almost at Huai'an territory at this moment."

Zhu Yinglong pondered for a moment. Although he was walking behind, he kept following the army tightly, but he never expected that he would still have such a long distance.

"Your Majesty, are we going to Xuzhou City?" A heroic female general came over, wearing a purple jacket, a purple cloak, and superb equestrian skills. She was like a man who was as good as a man.

Immediately followed by another sound of horse hooves. Magu, who was wearing a black cloak in the same couple outfit as Zhu Yinglong, Li Qing in blue satin, pink bright red, and Lan Rong in a big inner guard flying fish suit all came from behind. Among them, Magu was the worst equestrian and suffered the most. However, after today's running-in, she was smart and riding a horse and jogging could no longer hurt her.

"Enter!" Zhu Yinglong laughed, suddenly grabbed the horse's belly, rushed forward and said, "Let's see who finally arrived at Xuzhou City, who will serve the other four people to wash their feet tonight, how about it!"

"Despicable!" Xiong Hu glared at Zhu Yinglong's back angrily, cursed, and was the first to react and followed.

Magu's eyes lit up, he giggled, and sang a series of silver bell-like whispers, and followed Xiong Hu one step behind.

Li Qing and Yanhong looked at each other and followed each other.

Zhuoba, who was immediately beside him, seemed to be infected by youthful vitality, and actually showed a smile that had not appeared in a century. He asked Lan Rong who was slowly coming up behind him: "Miss Lan, why don't you chase after him?"

"Master, do you think I am qualified?" Lan Rong said with great sorrow in her eyes.

"Miss Lan, do you have any worries?" Zhuoba's eyes were so sharp, and he was also a top martial artist, and he even had many secrets that Zhu Yinglong didn't know.

"No." Lan Rong lowered her head and said.

Obviously he was insincere, Zhuoba said: "Actually, I can still guess what you are thinking!"

"Oh, can the master guess what the little girl is thinking?" Lan Rong was shocked and raised her head in surprise and asked.

Zhuoba smiled slightly and said, "Actually, I know your father Lan Lin and I have been in love for more than 20 years!"

"What, the master knows me... dad..." Lan Rong was even more surprised.

"It's been more than twenty years, and he hasn't changed at all, hey..." Zhuoba sighed. Zhuoba personally assisted Wu Hemiao to establish the Divine Cult. In fact, he has a relationship with Lan Lin. The teachings of the Divine Cult were also taught to Zhuoba by Lan Lin. Lan Lin also has another identity, which is the leader of the Wuwei Cult. Wuwei Cult believes in the Wusheng Lao Mother, and Wuwei Cult is also a branch of the White Lotus Cult. Zhuoba almost entered the church, which made him shocked when he saw the fanatical power of religion. Later, Zhuoba returned to Miaojiang and assisted Wu Hemiao to establish the Divine Cult. As a result, Wu Hemiao grew stronger in just ten years, with more than 100,000 followers, which can be said to have a deep connection.

"Master, do you really know my father?" Lan Rong saw Zhuoba's expression and resolutely believed nine points. The remaining one was due to a vigilant personality.

"Hehe, I even hugged you when you were a child!" Zhuoba smiled.

"Ah!" Lan Rong exclaimed.

"You are trying to tell the emperor that your father may not have died, but you feel that he has betrayed his father, right or wrong?" Zhuoba asked.

"Master..." Lan Rong suddenly felt like a lost lamb suddenly discovered a warm shelter, and all her thoughts could not be hidden in front of Zhuoba.

"Silly child, your father is too persistent and is now possessed by the devil. Do you have the heart to see him continue to harm others?" Zhuoba asked gently.

"But master, what should I say?" Lan Rong asked.

"Tell it to the truth."

"But will he forgive me for hiding this from him?" Lan Rong asked with some concern.

"You have been in the palace for a long time or two. Don't you know his character?" Zhuoba reminded, "For him, for yourself, and for your father, if you drag it on, it will be too late to regret it if you cause a huge disaster."

"Thank you, Master!" Lan Rong took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind and rushed forward.

"Fantasy girl, you don't know that you fell into love. It's pitiful and sad!" Zhuoba looked at the splashing dust. Lan Rong saw the emperor's eyes different from others. She shook her head and sighed. Lan Rong insisted that although Zhu Yinglong went south, others might be in the dark, but Zhuoba knew in her heart that she wanted to protect Zhu Yinglong along the way, because she knew in her heart that what her father cherished the most was her life. They had saved their lives with such a big explosion, let alone her father who had prepared for it.
