~.-~ The night ban began at the first moment of Xu'an, but the time when the city gate was closed was far earlier than the first moment of Xu'an. Looking out of the city during the day, the capital city was only felt like a huge creature standing on the plain after night. On the four walls, through the lanterns hanging high on the city towers and torches inserted in every few arrows, patrol figures walking back and forth could be seen. Sometimes, someone would look down from the battlements, and the city walls and arrow towers above the city gate were also full of shadows.

Therefore, when a rapid sound of horse hooves came gradually from the west of Fuchengmen, the well-trained soldiers immediately reported to each other layer. In that night, Li Zi, a thousand-household household on duty in the city tower, immediately brought a few personal soldiers to the city wall on the Fuchengmen gate.

Before he could shout, someone shouted loudly from below: "Jingyang Bo protects the imperial envoy Pingbei Bo and returns to Beijing, and release the hanging basket!"

Li Zi was stunned at first, then immediately startled. However, the task of guarding Fuchengmen was extremely important. After a moment of thinking, he ordered the accompanying deputy Qianhu to sit in the hanging basket. When the confirmation message came from the lower head, he gestured to his subordinates. When the first two people climbed the city wall, he saw that it was an old and a young man. The old one was obviously seventy years old, and the young one seemed to be less than twenty. Standing there was a strong contrast that made him wonder.

He knew the old one, and he had never seen the young one, but since he came up with Shenying, he must be the most favored Pingbeibo in front of the emperor.

"See Pingbei Bo (--Wu. Fastest update.), Jingyang Bo."

"Um."

Xu Xun nodded, then smiled and said, "You are cautious and sent someone down to investigate. It's good."

This sentence sounds pretty good, but Li Zi still smiled happily. When about 10 or 20 people from the city came up to the city tower one by one, and the rest took their empty mounts back to the Xishan camp. Xu Xun glanced around at the soldiers who turned the roulette and pulled the hanging basket back and gave Cao Qian a wink: "I encountered some twists and turns on the road, so I had to go into the city overnight. Thank you for your hard work. Tonight, I will be on duty. I will invite you to have a drink at the Fuqing Tower, Xisi Pailou tomorrow afternoon!"

After saying this, he said to Shenying: "It's getting late, Jingyang Bo, let's go into the city!"

Because Fucheng Gate had also been closed, the stairs on the inside of the city gate could not enter the city even if they went down. Therefore, Li Zi had to take everyone to send Xu Xun and his group down with hanging baskets. When everyone was sent away, he thought about what Xu Xun said to invite him to drink. Seeing that more than a dozen soldiers above and below climbed the city wall at the battlement and watched the fast walking along Fucheng Gate Street to the east, he couldn't help but cough.

"What do you think? Pingbei Bosu said that you will definitely be the one who will be the first to go to the afternoon tomorrow, and you will not be able to get your place!"

"Li Qianhu, are the Pingbei Bo and Jingyang Bo and his group ready to walk home?"

Hearing this, Li Zi was stunned at first, and then scolded angrily: "Don't forget that there are still patrol officers from the Five Cities of the Military and Horses on the road, and you will meet them in a short while. You don't have to worry about it. Everyone will be in their own position and cheer up. If you dare to be lazy, you won't have to eat that wine tomorrow!"

The crowd on the city tower ended the brief commotion and returned to their positions to continue to defend, Xu Xun and Shenying quickly met a team of patrol guards from the Xicheng Military and Horses. Xu Xun and Shenying's houses were both in Xicheng, and traveling at night was common. Not only did they recognize their deputy commander who lent their mounts, they also pulled out several subordinate horses to borrow them together, and even went to help knock on two shops on the north side of Fuchengmen Street and directly asked to borrow horses. Xu Xun directly left the silver as a custody, and his name was really good. The two shops who were originally unwilling to do so immediately took out the horses.

Although he was very happy to return home, Xu Xun did not rush home as soon as possible. Instead, he and Shenying and his group rushed straight to Lingji Hutong. When he jumped down in front of the Xichang gate, he heard the movement and looked at a single person who looked at it, and immediately turned around like a gust of wind and ran away.

"Eunuch Gu, boss, Ping Bei Bo is back!"

The loud shouts and screams alarmed the people inside. When Gu Dayong and Huitong came out one after another, they saw Xu Xun strode in with a horse whip. When they met on both sides, Gu Dayong stopped and looked at Xu Xun for a while. Then he took three or two steps and hugged Xu Xun's arms with a smile.

"Okay, I went back after a round northwest. I looked dark and thin, but I ended up being much stronger!"

"It's worth saying? It's strange to eat sand all day long, it's not too thin or black!" Xu Xun smiled and looked at Gu Dayong, and then joked, "I don't know how much you eat in the capital tonic, and people look like they have gained weight again!"

"I am fat because I am rich and fat, but I am dry and fat, so I can't do anything!" Gu Dayong smiled and then said to Shen Ying, "Brother Jingyang, we look up all day long and look down, so I won't say hello to you. After all, Brother Xu has been out for almost three months and has not been hugged by the fat girl at home yet, so I have to comfort him first!"

Shen Ying suddenly smiled bitterly: "You should comfort him, but you should comfort me too! He had already entered Juyong Pass, but he was blocked by a big rock tree that came from where he was beaten on the road. Then he was attacked by an assassin again. God knew that when I heard the word "assassin", my heart almost burst out from my throat, for fear that it would be so thrilling like before!"

Huitong followed Gu Dayong and just met Xu Xun's eyes for a moment.

But at this moment, when he heard that he had really met an assassin, his face suddenly sank. He couldn't help but interrupt and said, "My uncle Jingyang personally led his troops to meet him, or did he meet an assassin?"

"It's real." Xu Xun said these four words concisely, and then said, "Let's talk inside, this yard is inconvenient."

Gu Dayong invited Xu Xun and Shen Ying into the room together. Huitong naturally called a few managers from the West Factory to greet the rest. However, when he was about to enter, he suddenly noticed that there was a man who looked capable next to Cao Qian, and couldn't help but take a few more glances. After he delayed for a while, when he came to Gu Dayong's house where he usually handled official duties, he heard a bang as soon as he stepped into the threshold. Obviously, it was unknown who among the three who slapped the table.

However, after he actually entered the room, no one of the three people showed signs of slapping the table. Before he could even wonder, Gu Dayong suddenly turned his head and looked at him and ordered: "Old Zhong, go to the palace to hand in a message, and say that Pingbei Bo is back. Be sure to send a letter to the emperor and let the emperor have a stable sleep. The emperor has asked countless times from the afternoon to the evening, but Jingyang Bo did not send any other news except for the reunion!"

"I was too busy cleaning up the mess at that time, so I didn't have time to say anything else. Didn't I send someone back in a hurry?"

Seeing Huitong agreeing to go out, Shen Ying said in a deep voice: "Eunuch Gu is right, it cannot be done by Eunuch Liu!"

Xu Xun also spread his hands helplessly: "I know it is impossible, everyone knows it is impossible, but the matter has already happened. Even if I ordered the ban, there were still some passing cars and streetmen around at that time, and this kind of news cannot be hidden. You all know Lao Liu's temperament. You will think that I was giving him a trap and let him take the blame. What's more, Lao Gu, you just said that An Weixue had arrived in the capital this morning."

"Yes, it's hard for him, a civil servant, to be able to travel three hundred miles to the capital. It's no small matter to make a journey."

Gu Dayong sneered and then explained the big and small things that happened in the capital in an orderly manner one by one. Especially before the Imperial Road left a letter to report to Liu Jin, and this time Liu Jin was exposed to the heatstroke. He focused on picking it out and told Xu Xun in detail. Then he said with a smile: "The story in front made Old Liu very angry, but Ruisheng became smart and instigated the emperor to turn around our future queen, and then went to the Empress Dowager Qingning Palace, and finally it was left unresolved. If I asked me to say that Old Liu was smart and confused for a lifetime, the virtues of this civil servant were hopeless to be so sneaky? Those who did this thing were either Luo Xiang or Wei Bin and Ma Yongcheng. When Luo Xiang came back from Huaiyang before, he was so shameless..."

While hearing Gu Dayong talk about these major events in the capital, Xu Xun asked Liu Jin in detail about the government orders over the past few days. He heard that in addition to the absurd military farming order in Shaanxi, he also measured the land acres and determined the canal tariff law... There were only 20 new policies left, so he couldn't help but secretly stunning his tongue.

Liu Jin’s thoughts are really too big and too anxious!

Huitong has always been a decisive and decisive person. Since Gu Dayong gave the order, he immediately sent a message to Xi'an Gate at three o'clock. So, even in the middle of the night, the sound of horse galloping from Xihua Gate to Chengqian Palace. When the news came from Xihua Gate one by one, Ruisheng, who had received the news, was relieved and walked to the gate of Xihun Pavilion and gently lit the door curtain and took a look. Seeing that the figure who had tossed and turned on the bed was now still, he hesitated for a moment and tiptoed in.

He originally planned to be on the head of the bed, but if Zhu Houzhao woke up, he would report it immediately. He didn't expect that he would stand in front of the bed. Zhu Houzhao, who was originally facing his back, suddenly muttered, "What's the matter so late?"

"Your Majesty, Pingbeibo has entered the city and is now in the west factory of Lingji Hutong."

"Um?!"

Suddenly, Zhu Houzhao lifted the quilt and sat up, stared at Ruisheng for a moment, and confirmed that the other party was not lying to him. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then complained: "I rushed back thousands of miles away and didn't go back to see my wife and children. Why did you go to the west factory of Lingji Hutong first? It would be better to come to see me first!"

"Your Majesty, the palace gate has been set up, and Pingbei Bo has also gone to the West Factory to report safety, so that Eunuch Gu can send a letter to the palace..."

After being reminded by Ruisheng, Zhu Houzhao snorted lightly, then said with a bright look: "Ruisheng, no one can come in, I can't go out?"

Faced with Zhu Houzhao's look of interest that seemed to be about to do it immediately, Ruisheng hesitated for a long time, and finally said helplessly: "If the emperor wants Pingbei Bo to come back and be scolded by the two empress dowagers in the palace, then he will sacrifice his life to accompany the emperor."

Zhu Houzhao stared at Ruisheng for a long time. Seeing the little guy's face was unaccommodating, he couldn't help but fall back angrily, then grabbed the quilt and covered his head.

This is a damn mind!~.-~
