Chapter 629 (2/2)
Unexpectedly, Mr. Qi sent a letter“ I didn't get it from the palace until this morning. I didn't dare to miss it, so I sent it myself. ” For fear of mishap, Mr. Qi ordered the coachman to drive quickly. The bumps on the way made his old bones almost fall apart.
Xiao Ruixuan frowned and took the letter. He really couldn't understand what important letter was worth Mr. Qi's rush.
But as soon as he opened the letter, the familiar font came into his eyes, and Xiao Ruixuan read ”Uncle” out of his mind.
It turns out that the letter was written by Mei Gongqing, Xiao Ruixuan's uncle. After learning that Xiao Ruixuan was going to use military force against the imperial court, he decided to give Xiao Ruixuan a gift: a ”Mei family army” of 300 people.
”Although there are only 300 people, they are all members of our Mei family army
Elite... ”Mei Gongqing wrote in his letter,” some of them went out with Zhongyi in those years, and some of them were descendants of Mei's army... They are brave and good at fighting, and they will be able to help you on the battlefield! ”
After reading the letter, Xiao Ruixuan was shocked. In his last life, he never knew that there was such a Mei family army. In his opinion, the Mei family army had long been destroyed.
”... the army can go as far as possible, but in one day, they can catch up with you!” Mei Gongqing also explained in the letter, ”don't delay the journey in order to wait for them.”
Xiao Ruixuan was a little suspicious. Sure enough, one day after the army's departure, a cavalry of three hundred people overtook him from the rear. But their appearance made Xiao Ruixuan's army panic, and many soldiers were in a state of preparation.
Because these cavalry not only rode on high horses, but also were well-equipped. More importantly, they all looked like Daliang people with high nose and big eyes.
But in their ranks, there was a big sign on the flag
”Mei” in Chinese.
Fortunately, the leader was an obvious Daliang man.
He rode his horse to Xiao Ruixuan, then turned over and got off his horse, knelt down on one knee and said, ”Mei Zhongjie, the general of Zuo Xiaoqi in the Mei family army, has met shiziye!”
Even though Xiao Ruixuan, who had seen the world, was still slightly stunned when he saw such a situation, he immediately dismounted and tried to hold up the man who called himself Mei Zhongjie with both hands.
Unexpectedly, he used 70% or 80% of his strength, but Mei Zhongjie still knelt there peacefully. He didn't stand up until he gave Xiao Ruixuan a formal salute.
Xiao Ruixuan was even more shocked. He had been practicing with his master since he was a child, and not many people could stand his trust.
Mei Zhongjie, however, seems to have ignored the interlude just now. Instead, he tells Xiao Ruixuan about the 300 cavalry he brought.
”Those who led the army were those who followed Zhongyi to the battlefield in those years, and these young men are the descendants of our Mei family army!” Mei Zhongjie
He explained with pride to Xiao Ruixuan.
It turns out that when Zhongyi found out that Tong Wei's Tong Jiajun didn't intend to let Mei Jiajun go back alive, he took them to the hinterland further west, and then intermarried with a local woman with high nose and big eyes, giving birth to the second and third generations. That's why he had this group of Mei Jiajun who are different from Daliang people.
”We dream of going back to the Central Plains again!” Mei Zhongjie, a middle-aged man, said with red eyes, ”to avenge the brothers who died in tongjiajun's hands in those years!”
Xiao Ruixuan suddenly understood why this strange Mei family army did not appear in the last life. In the last life, the commander in chief has always been his father, the prince of Jin, and the princess of Jin is the Tong family!
Mei Jiajun, who admitted that he had a blood feud with Tong Jiajun, did not appear, so it became understandable.
