Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 899
"What's going on? Has Guo Zhi ever passed Zhongchu Street at this moment?"

After a sprint, Lu Zhi, the confidant of King Jiangdu, was already out of breath, but he kept questioning the servants who came and went——

Many of the servant guards he brought with him were skilled and had to protect his people's safety along the way. But at this moment, all of these servant guards were sweating profusely, and some of them were even soaked with sweat.

However, Lu Zhi only needs to focus on recognizing the Yamen and rushing over at this moment, while his servants and guards have to run back and forth to inform him of the situation at Guo Zhi, which is very hard.

Especially now that the city is under martial law, even bullock carts are not allowed to be used easily, let alone horses and the like. Therefore, these informants all have to rely on their legs to deliver the news. Isn't it a hard job?

This is because everyone has great skills, strong skills, walking and walking, walking continuously, and relaying messages one after another. Only then can Lu Zhi know the approximate location of Guo Zhi.

At this moment, when he asked like this, the person who came to summon him did not even bother to take a breath, and said in a hurry: "Guo Zhi and his party have already passed Zhongchu Street and are talking to Wu Ding on patrol. Look like that. , we will move on soon!”

As soon as Lu Zhi heard this, his face changed: "After passing Zhongchu Street, we will soon arrive at the place where the general is staying. With Guo Zhi's footsteps, they may arrive within a cup of tea. Then General Chen It is very possible to summon him first, but the situation will be complicated. Hurry! I have to speed up!"

As he said this, the scribe, who was not too young, ignored the profuse sweating all over his body and the demeanor of his clothes. He braced himself up and continued to move forward. However, his body was not strong enough. After walking for a few steps, he stopped. When he came down, he was out of breath and looked worried at the few guards following him.

Someone couldn't help but help him with thousands of hands, helped him to the side, pressed his legs, and advised: "Why chase him like this? You have already promised to be the guardian. Coming here can save General Chen a lot of trouble." , why bother to fight like this?" The person who spoke was clearly Lu Jian.

Lu Jian's status in Sun Wei's army was not high before. After all, he was not from the Zhengshuo family of the Lu family, but was from a collateral branch. But now that Lu Zhi and his entourage were there, he naturally became the central liaison officer. After seeing his job, he also followed.

"That's not what you said," Lu Zhi smiled bitterly, "You have to know that the reason why Governor Sun Wei is willing to surrender is not because of my dignity, but because General Chen has laid down the overall situation and he is already surrounded. Grasshopper, no matter how you jump, it's hard to get out. The reason why I was chosen to be the messenger is just because I feel that it will be smoother and less troublesome if I speak. To put it bluntly, there is a difference between me and me. It’s not big, but for me, it’s an opportunity to talk to General Zhengbei and connect with him, so that King Jiangdu and the general can get on good terms with each other.”

This statement already has the meaning of teaching earnestly and kindly, just like the elders educating the younger ones.

Lu Jian quickly expressed his understanding and suggested: "Why don't my nephew bring a horse over with you? If someone intercepts and asks, explaining the purpose of coming, it will be fine. After all, Master Shu has already written a recommendation to you. "

"It can't be like this," Lu Zhi shook his head, "There are too many hidden dangers in this matter, so we can't do it. Let's not talk about being stopped in the middle, reporting and verifying, which is a waste of time. Let's just say that the current martial law in the city is due to General Chen's order. , all the soldiers and horses under my command abide by it, how can I make an exception? Even if nothing happens, it will also damage the impression in the general's mind, which will do more harm than good."

At this point, he was almost rested and started struggling.

"We can't rest any longer. I have a weak body and I know that once I rest, it will be difficult to move again. Hurry, we are only one street away from the place. Let's go quickly, don't be slower than others!"

After the words fell, Bendang rushed over with the people first.On another street not far away from a few people, Guo Zhi ran wildly with two soldiers.

Including Guo Zhi, everyone is strong and has practiced martial arts. They walk with great force and almost never stop. Unfortunately, their posture is too fierce, and they are all stiff, even if their weapons have been confiscated. In the past, this was still too eye-catching. You could hardly cross a street without being stopped for questioning. So after a lot of trouble, their lively youth group was actually faster than Lu Zhi's middle-aged group. Not going anywhere!

"I've been delayed for another journey, but fortunately we're almost there!"

After explaining again and getting rid of the two questioning soldiers, Guo Zhi breathed a long sigh of relief, raised his head, and looked over the high wall of the courtyard, and could already see the two-story pavilion in front of him.

"General Zhengbei is now sitting in the pavilion. It's just a matter of breath. I believe Lu Zhi probably won't be able to arrive yet. If it hadn't been delayed several times, he would have spoken to the general by now!"

Shaking his head, Guo Zhi couldn't help but sigh, but his words made a soldier next to him a little unhappy, so he said: "I just saw that there are often servants and people dressed as guards on both sides of the street. Peeping in the dark, it’s just that this group of people is no better than the military scouts. They don’t know how to hide their whereabouts. They have been discovered by a certain family a long time ago. They just want to go on their way, and secondly, there are layers of inspections and constant questioning. Otherwise, a certain family would have I’ll catch the person who spied on me and teach me a lesson!”

As they spoke, several people sprinted forward, running faster and faster, but there was no confusion in their words.

"There is no need for Mr. He to be angry. I have also discovered those people who are hiding their heads and tail, and I know their identities. They are just sent by Lu Zhi to investigate. There is no need to worry about it. As long as we arrive at the general's side first, everything will be easy to talk about!" Guo Zhi comforted him, but she was also unhappy in her heart, and then she quickened her pace a little!

Soon, the gate to Chen Zhi's mansion was clear. However, when Guo Zhi and others arrived, a team rushed out from beside them. The leader was mighty and majestic, but he was leading the way, followed by Lu Jian and others. Lu Zhi was supported by someone.

"Lu Jun, I didn't expect you and I to meet again so soon."

As soon as Guo Zhi saw the person coming, he stopped and looked at him with a smile, and squeezed out a few words through his teeth.

Lu Zhi took a few violent breaths and looked at Guo Zhi and others in front of the door. There was both regret and happiness in his eyes. It was a pity that he did not arrive a step earlier to see Chen Zhi first, but he was lucky that he did not take a step too late to fall into the trap. passive.

Then, he glanced at the two soldiers, and he had a sudden guess in his heart. His expression changed slightly, and finally he looked at Guo Zhi. He was about to say something, but was interrupted by a voice from the door of the mansion——

"A few of you are here. My master invites you to come into the house." As he finished speaking, Chen Ju walked out of the door.

For a moment, both Guo Zhi and Lu Zhi felt tense in their hearts and looked solemn. They had long thought of meeting Chen Zhi as early as possible, but when they did wait until this moment, they felt pressure suddenly. He felt a strong sense of awe for Yu's general Zhengbei.
