Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

At this time, two fast horses rushed in in front of the gate of Nanqing Palace. The gatekeeper was startled when he saw this, and was about to lead his troops to stop him, but when he saw the two men on horseback, it turned out to be a false alarm. After passing by, the two gradually took the reins back to stop the horses, jumped down and stood still, the goalkeeper Guangxiang cupped his hands and said, "You two generals! It's been a long time since I've seen you again!"

"Yes, yes." The two also arched their hands, and because the sun was hot, they couldn't help wiping the sweat off their faces with their arms. Guang Xiang hurriedly said, "You two generals, it's hot outside, come into the house quickly."

These two are the other two generals of the palace, Gongliang Shiguan and Zhou Shixiong. Guangxiang asked the guards to lead the horses back to the stables. Gongliang Shiguan asked, "Guangxiang, is there anything wrong in the mansion recently?"

"Nothing, everything is fine, but the weather is too hot, every day since the time of Si is hot and dry, people can't keep up their spirits, and they are very sleepy at the end of the day."

Gong Liang nodded, "Yes, all roads are similar, and we dare not let the horse run too fast all the way back."

"Gongliang! Shixiong!" Suddenly someone stopped the two of them, they saw that it was Song Jiajun walking over, and they bowed their hands in salute, "General Song!"

Jiajun patted Gongliang and Shixiong, "You guys are back, it's been a long time since this trip."

"Yeah." Gong Liang nodded, patted his legs and said, "This time, people's legs and horses' legs are running thin, but you must finish what the prince told you before you dare to return to Beijing, otherwise you won't have the face to come back, hahaha Gong Liang smiled and said, "That's right! General Song, will the prince be in the main hall or the study?"

"My lord is not in the mansion. This morning my lord and His Royal Highness went to the post station to meet with the Liugu envoys. They haven't returned to the mansion yet."

"Not in the mansion?" Gongliang and Shixiong looked at each other and asked, "My lord and His Royal Highness are out of the mansion, why didn't the general follow?"

"My lord has entrusted me with some errands, and I have just returned from outside the mansion not long ago."

"So that's how it is. Does General Song know when the prince will return to the mansion?"

Jia Jun shook his head, "The lord has been gone for two or three hours, so it stands to reason that he should be back."

"General, we heard that something happened in Liugu, their leader was seriously injured, and maybe they asked me, Da Song, so let the prince help them bring a message to His Majesty."

"It's possible." Jiajun nodded, "Gongliang, Shixiong, the prince hasn't returned to the mansion yet, it's so hot, you should go wash and rest first, the two brothers and sisters have been waiting for you for a long time, I'll send someone to find my nephew My sons and nieces are coming to the palace, you have a good time together, ha ha."

"Then the two of us go to pay your respects to the empress first."

"Your Majesty should be taking a nap at this meeting. Let's go there later. I'll go to the post house and have a look. I'll let you know when the prince returns to the mansion."

Gongliang and Shixiong clasped their hands together, "Okay, thank you General Song, then we two will go back to the house first."

"Please" Jia Jun cupped his hands, and then led the horse straight to the post house. Due to the abnormal heat, the horses were not running smoothly. Jia Jun on the horse wiped the sweat from his face from time to time, and the fast horse came Leaping down in front of the gate of the post station, he looked left and right and did not see the sedan chair team of the palace, so he held the Nanqing Palace waist card and said, "I am Song Jiajun, the general of the Nanqing Palace."

The guard stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "General Song, may I ask you why you came to the station?"

"My lord and His Royal Highness are ordered to meet with the envoy Liugu at the station in the morning. Are they still in the station at this time?"

"Going back to the general, the prince and His Royal Highness have left the station an hour ago."

"Leaving?" Jia Jun thought for a while and asked, "Do you know where you are going?"
