Chapter 1409 [Updated on September 1] With the Emperor's Love for Her
"Master, please don't worry, if it wasn't for you, I would have died long ago. Since the moment I followed you, I have been your dead warrior, and my subordinates are your people in life and your ghost in death. When the master gives an order, even if we try our best, we must resolutely carry out the mission until we die!" The man in black said loyally.
Hearing this, the man instructed: "Remember, I don't want to live, as long as I die, even if I die, I want to see the dead body!"
"Yes, this subordinate will keep it in mind." The man in black knelt on the ground and said, "Master, what about the queen's life, don't you want to live?"
As soon as these words came out, the man was silent for a long time, as if he was considering this matter.
After a long time, he said calmly: "That's all for her, as long as the emperor lives alone."
"yes."
"However..." the man changed the subject, "The emperor's love for her will inevitably arrange for her to return to Beijing alone. Therefore, if the emperor is too difficult to deal with, he can use her as a bait to threaten the emperor if necessary."
The man in black didn't quite believe it and said, "Will the emperor be threatened because of a woman?"
"Just do what I say. If he is not threatened, let the queen see some blood. As a human being, you should be cruel. Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself."
"Master is right."
"Okay, let's go."
"Yes." The man in black answered and disappeared into the night.
The man was left leaning on the back of the chair with a sinister smile in his eyes.
The thin lips outlined a vicious arc, as if there was always a kind of hatred in his heart.
------
In the following days, Ruoyin and Fourth Master returned to Suzhou from Ningbo on August 18th.
He left Suzhou on the 19th and arrived at Jiangning Mansion on the 20th.
On the 21st, I went to Shouzhou, Fengyang Prefecture.
Arrived in Yangzhou on the 22nd.
When crossing the Yellow River on the 23rd, a group of people were on the pier, ready to go on a boat.
Chen Biao approached suddenly and whispered: "Your Majesty, report from the sticky pole that someone is looking for our whereabouts all the way."
Fourth master stood on the pier with his hands behind his back. After hearing this, his eyes turned slightly.
After pondering for a moment, he said: "Find a cargo ship near here, no matter how much it costs, let him carry people."
"Yes." After Chen Biao agreed, he hurried to make arrangements.
Recently, the emperor and everyone are in a team, and so are the boats.
That's why the emperor wanted to get on the cargo ship.
In this way, the other party will temporarily lose the tracking object.
For this southern tour, in order to cause unnecessary sensation, avoid the local government from concealing the truth, and consume too much treasury supplies, the emperor chose to visit in private.
The bodyguards and hidden guards brought out totaled no more than a dozen people.
However, fortunately, every time I travel, I am very cautious, so that people can't follow them.
But the last few times, there was always a group of people following them.
Although it is far away, the sticky rod is for this, so I found it.
Ruoyin on the side also became serious when he heard the conversation between Chen Biao and fourth master.
Chen Biao acted swiftly, and brought his people back after a while.
"Master, the slave has already contacted a cargo ship, which is carrying silk across the river from Suzhou, and the current direction is the same as ours."
As he spoke, he led the way ahead.
The fourth master gave a faint "hmm" and said cautiously: "Let's go first by boat. After a stick of incense, we will take advantage of the many boats on the river and approach from the river, and then board the cargo ship. In addition, we will send orders to dispatch urgently from various places." Come five thousand soldiers. Don't startle the enemy and pretend not to take action until the reinforcements arrive."
"Okay." Chen Biao replied, it seems that the emperor is going to let the pedestrians stare first, and then take advantage of the chaos to get on the cargo ship and let them stare at the wrong person.
Now that the situation is urgent, this is the only way to go.
Anyway, it is too late to transfer troops from the capital, so we can only transfer troops nearby.
The soldiers of the Qing Dynasty were divided into soldiers, soldiers, bravery, pawns, arresters, prisons, posthouses, and yamen.
The soldiers, arresters, prisons, post offices, and Yamen are all civilian civil servants who receive ICBC and work on time.
In addition to these, only those who wear uniforms with the characters "士", "兵", and "少" are regular soldiers who fight.
A soldier is a senior elite soldier.
The soldiers are the regular army of the Qing Dynasty and belong to the front-line combat troops.
The army of the Qing Dynasty was composed of the Eight Banners Army and the Green Battalion Army.
The Eight Banners Army is composed of Manchurians and generally stationed in the capital.
The Green Battalion is composed of Han people and is mainly responsible for stationing the frontiers or the provinces directly in the interior.
Yong, in fact, is the courage of the country, belonging to the militia, or the reserve.
Since they were only temporarily recruited to suppress the uprising, they would be sent home after the battle.
But this time the situation is critical, brave, pawn, arrest, jail, post, and Yamen are useless.
Because it is more practical to call 20,000 grassroots personnel distributed in various places than to call 5,000 elite soldiers.
Soldiers and soldiers have the highest ability and are distributed in various provinces.
The size of the troops in each province varies, with an average of about twenty battalions per province.
A battalion can have as few as two or three hundred people, and as many as six or seven hundred people.
It is a big project to gather 5,000 soldiers from the nearby camps.
Then make an appointment to gather at a suitable venue, ranging from three days to five days.
After a cup of tea, the group quickly boarded the boat they had booked.
The boat is very ordinary, no different from those fishermen's boats.
It belongs to the kind where you can't tell me apart when you put it in the pile of ships.
After a while, the boat was driving on the river.
After a stick of incense, the boat arrived at the point where the fishermen were fishing.
Suddenly there were more than a dozen fishing boats around, almost exactly the same as fourth master's boat.
The cargo ship that just happened to make an appointment is gradually approaching.
A group of people seamlessly connected and boarded the cargo ship.
On August 24th, fourth master and Ruoyin took a cargo boat across the river to Jiagou.
That is to say, the point where the cargo ship will stop.
As soon as he got off the boat, a hidden guard approached Fourth Master anxiously, and said, "Master, the other party has been chasing us all the time, obviously they came prepared."
"Can you find out who did it?" Fourth Master asked.
"The other party is very cautious in dealing with things. I don't know where to get a large number of dead men. They would rather commit suicide than confess. The rest of them who couldn't commit suicide would not confess a word even if they were tortured. But please rest assured that even if this is the case , our people will definitely find out."
The situation is too urgent, and it must be impossible to check it in a day or two.
In addition, the most important thing now is the safety of the emperor and empress.
The dark guard said, and whispered: "Shall we allocate a few more ships to distract our attention, and then board another cargo ship?"
Fourth Master shook his head, disapprovingly said: "The same method cannot be used a second time."
Speaking of this, he looked at the sparkling river.
After a long time, the fourth master said: "In this way, you first arrange your wife on the boat, and make sure to bring her back to the capital safely. If there is something wrong with her, be careful with your heads!"
"Yes!" After the two female dark guards agreed, they took the burden from Banmei's hand.
Seeing this, Ruoyin held fourth master's hand regardless.
"No, I don't want to be separated from you."
