The horse galloped past her and went straight to the city gate, shouting from below to open the door: "——Quick——800 miles urgent report——"

Lin Yutong urged his horse to follow the post horse without making a sound.

The postman glanced at Lin Yutong, a little surprised, but after a flash of consciousness, he became even more wary.

"We've arrived at the city gate, you don't have to be so nervous." Lin Yutong said, raising the jade plaque in his hand. This is from the princess's mansion.

The postman took a look and nodded, but he didn't relax at all.

Seeing his appearance, Lin Yutong looked at the dark red marks on the postman's boots, and couldn't help but ask: "Were you attacked halfway?"

The postman frowned and glanced at Lin Yutong, but said nothing.

Lin Yutong still wanted to ask, but at this time the city gate was already open.

The postman drove his horse into the city. Lin Yutong couldn't care about anything else at the moment. She was anxious to know what was going on at the border. So she followed the postman and broke into the city gate.

"Stop!" There was a shout from behind. This city gate is not something anyone can sneak in. If you force yourself to walk through it again, a gong will sound as a warning.

Lin Yutong threw the badge of Princess Mansion over: "Take this and go to work. If something goes wrong, Princess Mansion will be responsible for it."

The person chasing behind him immediately woke up. He had been on duty all night, and he was the sleepiest at dawn. When an urgent report came over, he was startled. Now, a person from the princess mansion followed him.

He was so frightened that he woke up all of a sudden.

The man accompanying him was a forty-year-old man who had been guarding the city gate for more than twenty years. Seeing that the boy was still stunned, he said: "Why don't you go back to the superior quickly to report to the superior? What are you doing here? I'm afraid it will happen again."

Something serious has happened."

The young man was stunned and hurriedly responded. He turned around and ran away without even dropping the knife in his hand.

The middle-aged man sighed: "It seems that I have to retire early. If I continue to do this job, I'm afraid I will lose my head." Little people have the wisdom of little people.

But he said that Lin Yutong chased the postman to the palace gate. The gatekeeper took the sealed thin tube from the postman's hand and saw that Lin Yutong had arrived. He said in panic: "Your Highness... you..."

Lin Yutong saw that he was in a dilemma with the emergency report, and knew that he was overthinking it, thinking that she followed the postman here because he was anxious to read the emergency report. She waved her hand: "You should do whatever you need to do quickly. It's just a coincidence.

Just happened to meet..."

The gatekeeper then hurried inside. Lin Yutong was not in a hurry to go in. Instead, he turned to the postman and asked, "What's your name?"

The postman then knew that this was Her Royal Highness the Princess. This time he did not dare to shirk the blame and said directly: "Little Huangshan. His Highness asked me if I was attacked before, but I didn't dare to tell anyone about it, so...

"

Lin Yutong waved his hand: "I know, no need to explain, just talk about the situation at that time."

Huang Shan pursed his lips, then steeled himself and said, "Yes! My little one was attacked last night."

"Do you know who he is?" Lin Yutong looked into Huang Shan's eyes, as if to judge the authenticity of what he said.

Huang Shan blushed when Lin Yutong looked at him. He didn't dare to look into Lin Yutong's eyes. He just said: "It's two people dressed as mountain people. They wanted to snatch the younger one from sitting on the horse. One of them was kicked by the younger one in the face."

The blood from my nose was stained on my boots."

The mountain people didn't know the truth and went to snatch the postman's horse? This behavior may seem reasonable, but in fact it simply cannot withstand scrutiny. There may be such mountain people who live in the mountains all year round in other places, but under the emperor's feet, the possibility of this is extremely slim.

This land in Gyeonggi Province is a mountainous forest, and it is basically owned by its owner. How can we tolerate mountain people on their territory. And he was attacked last night. Judging from the time and distance, it is not difficult to know that he had already entered Gyeonggi Province at that time.

.How could it be such a coincidence that we met mountain people robbing horses in the capital of Gyeonggi Province? Besides, ordinary people couldn't stop the fast horse passing by the roadside. How did these two mountain people stop the horse? Not only did they not

The horse was injured, but the postman who delivered the urgent message was not injured? No matter how you think about it, it seems unreasonable.

Lin Yutong looked at the postman Huangshan again: "Have you ever fallen off a horse? Or has someone approached you or touched you?"

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Huang Shan's face: "Yes! At that time, the young one kicked the thief, but he lost his balance and fell from the horse. However, another mountain man saw the flag behind the young one and knew that the young one was

What are you doing? I had to give Xiao a hand, so he didn't fall too hard. Otherwise, things would have been delayed. Xiao saw that these two people were not life-threatening people, and there was something urgent about Xiao Xiao, so he didn't.

After struggling with them, we quickly got on the road."

Lin Yutong knew what she was thinking. She ordered the person guarding the door: "Take care of him! Don't treat him badly when eating and drinking. Let him rest first. Maybe he will be summoned later." With that, she threw twenty taels of silver to him.

Postman: "Take it! It's your reward."

Huangshan held the silver in his arms in a daze, and it was not until Lin Yutong walked away that he came back to his senses.

"You still don't thank me?" the gatekeeper scolded him. Where did this kid come from? He actually got the favor of the nobleman.

Only then did Huangshan come to his senses, knelt down and kowtowed. Then he took the silver and presented it to the guards guarding the palace gate, sharing half of it when they met. This was the rule.

But the gatekeepers couldn't care less about the twenty taels of silver. If they didn't have any background in the family, they wouldn't be able to plan the job of guarding the palace gate.

Lin Yutong didn't care what the people behind her thought, but hurriedly went to Beichen Palace. As soon as she entered Beichen Palace, she was told that Concubine Chen was in the imperial study. She didn't rest, and turned to go there.

"Do you want to wash up and change your clothes?" the attendant asked quickly.

Lin Yutong waved his hand: "No! I'm in a hurry." After saying that, he turned around and walked away.

Aunt He saw Lin Yutong coming from a distance and greeted her. But when she saw Lin Yutong's appearance, she frowned, "Your Highness, this is..."

"Take me to see mother." Lin Yutong said urgently, stopping Nanny He from saying anything.

Aunt He hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "The master has invited all the gentlemen from the discussion pavilion to discuss matters."

Lin Yutong was stunned. She always felt that it was still early and the city gates were not open yet. She thought that people coming to the palace should get up. But she forgot that the time for morning court was five o'clock in the morning. These adults were only afraid of entering the palace at three or four in the morning.

.Although there is no morning court now, there are many court affairs to take care of, and there is no room for them to slack off. Therefore, as soon as the urgent report entered the palace, these ministers gathered together.

Lin Yutong raised his eyebrows, "Just go and report it. It's an urgent matter."

Seeing Lin Yutong's look, Aunt He believed what he said. She hurriedly opened the curtain and went in. Just when she heard Mrs. Gan say: "...I didn't expect such a great victory at the border...I was a little worried before, but now

This is what you put in your heart!" She said, and when she saw Aunt He coming in, she paused to indicate that Aunt He had something to say.

Aunt He looked around and saw several cabinet ministers sitting with their noses and noses attentively, and said: "Her Royal Highness the Princess is asking for an audience outside the palace. It is extremely urgent!"

Mrs. Gan was stunned and looked at Aunt He. Seeing Aunt He nodding, she knew that this was really something. She smiled and said: "Just now there's an urgent one of 800 miles, and now there's another urgent one of 100,000 miles. It's really a big deal.

It's more urgent than one. We are not afraid of many things. We are afraid that such a sudden emergency will catch people off guard."

Guo Changhe nodded and said: "It's what the empress said."

Mrs. Gan waved to Aunt He: "Please come in, princess. It's difficult for her to enter the palace so early in the morning."

As soon as Lin Yutong opened the curtain and came in, the imperial study suddenly became quiet. The blood stains on her crescent-white men's robe were particularly eye-catching. She was also wearing a black mink fur cloak, and her originally soft hair became

A handful of hair was gathered loosely and randomly on the top of the head, and the fine hair stuck to the face and neck, making the whole person look very embarrassed.

The tea cup in Mrs. Gan's hand suddenly fell to the ground, and she suddenly stood up, "Didn't you go to the Imperial Forest Army station? Why are you in such a mess? Is Wen Yunshan rebelling?"

Lin Yutong came forward to greet Gan, and Guo Changhe brought six ministers to salute Lin Yutong again.

After the complicated etiquette, Lin Yutong said: "Kou Zhun brought people last night, saying that he was ordered to announce my return to Beijing..."

"What?" Mr. Gan's face suddenly turned pale. This was nothing! "This traitor!" For such a long time, he didn't know that Kou Zhun had two intentions. If he noticed what happened in the palace,

If she spread the word, it would ruin things. She grabbed Lin Yutong and asked, "Where are the others?"

Lin Yutong's eyes flashed and he said: "Dead!"

Gan finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked Lin Yutong up and down: "Are you injured anywhere?"

"No." Lin Yutong took a deep breath and smiled: "Thanks to the escort of two deputy generals of the Royal Forest Army, Jiang Zhong and Feng Yuan, we were not ambushed..."

"Ambush?" Mr. Gan caught the words keenly, "You mean, there are interceptions on the way?"

"Yes!" Lin Yutong sighed, "First, Kou Zhun falsely conveyed the imperial edict to announce my departure from the military camp, and then, seventy or eighty men in black intercepted and killed me on the way, including even dead soldiers..."

"There are still dead soldiers?" Mr. Gan frowned, "It's really unreasonable! It's really unreasonable! Why is he doing this? What on earth is he trying to do?"

Several people sitting here were a little uneasy. When Concubine Chen said 'him', they naturally knew who she was talking about. But how should they respond to these words? Who knows if this is the mother and daughter performing a double act here?

Woolen cloth.

Lin Yutong glanced at a few people and naturally understood what these people were thinking. So he didn't follow Gan's words. Gan seemed too anxious at this time. Lin Yutong frowned and said: "I'm afraid Kou Zhun is attacking Lin Hou

I may be dissatisfied with taking over the position of commander. However, it is not appropriate for young people to appear in the capital. The Royal Forest Army should not just huddle in the camp, but should also go out to deploy defenses and clear out the troops."

This made everyone even more confused about what to say? Could it be that this is really making a fuss out of a molehill?

But once this is in preparation for war, it is not something that can be solved easily with just one sentence. It is said that a cannon fires, and gold is ten thousand taels. This often requires silver. The Ministry of Revenue needs to prepare the food and grass needed for the war, as well as post-war pensions.

Money. The Ministry of Works has to prepare weapons, and this consumption is always not a small amount. There is also the Ministry of War, where the coordination and coordination between the top and bottom can be explained clearly in one or two sentences.

Mr. Gan looked down, then at Lin Yutong, and said, "Do you think this is really necessary?"

Lin Yutong then looked at the urgent report in Gan's hand: "It's not necessary, but very necessary. Because I suspect that the urgent report in your hand has been tampered with."

These words really stunned everyone in the room.

Mr. Gan's face suddenly became solemn, "Sit down and talk. I know that you have never been a person who talks freely."

Lin Yutong told Gan and several ministers in detail what happened after they met the postman Huangshan in the capital, "...This is probably what happened. Therefore, I have reason to suspect that the so-called 'shan' who was in contact with Huangshan at that time

The people' took action and took away the emergency report inside."

This suspicion is of course very reasonable.

Mrs. Gan picked up the urgent report and looked it up and down, but still couldn't see any trace of fraud. She waved her hand and said to Lin Yutong: "You go down and wash up and rest first. You don't have to worry about things here. I'll follow

The adults will consider it and take care of it."

After Lin Yutong exited, Mrs. Gan called Aunt He, "Go and ask Taoist Master Xu to take a look. There is something wrong with her. If it weren't for the current difficult situation, why would she have to suffer this crime?"
