Duan Hu caught the arrow and took a look. There was no arrowhead on the arrow, but a letter tied to it.
After reaching out his hand to stop Xiao Gui, Zhao Podi, and the others, Duan Hu opened the letter.
There were only a few lines in the letter.
"Your people are in my hands. If you want them, come to Five Mile Village outside Great South Lane. Remember, if one person comes, we will kill one more!”
Other than the letter, there was another item tied to the sword.
It was a bamboo identity token with a blood-stained name on it.
"Zhang Erniu!"
Duan Hu clenched the nameplate in his hand.
"Zhao Podi, immediately go to the house where Fang and Zhang Erniu are worshiped and see if his old mother is at home!”
"Yes, General!"
After Zhao Podi cupped his hands, he immediately mounted his horse and left.
"Uncle Zhong Yong, His Majesty is still waiting in the palace. You should go into the palace first.”the eunuch said to Duan Hu.
"Wait!"
After saying that, Duan Hu turned around and returned to the Courier Station.
In the posthouse, Duan Hu changed out of his official uniform and put on a new set of armor.
"General, what's wrong?" Xiao Gui asked.
Duan Hu saw the slip of paper and the identity token and handed it to Xiao Gui.
Xiao Gui's eyes widened after taking a look.
"General, you can't go. Be careful that this is a trap.”Xiao Gui said,"Now that the general has been conferred the title of Earl and has even taken over the command of the Guangning Guards, I'm afraid that someone is jealous of the general. What if, what if?"
"There are no ifs!"
"Twenty thousand gold dogs can't do anything to me, let alone a few thieves. What's there to be afraid of!”
Duan Hu frowned.
He wasn't afraid that someone would plot against him, but he was afraid of Zhang Erniu's mother and nephew.
"General, why don't you let this subordinate go? This subordinate is wearing the general's armor. I believe that it's dark now, and those people won't be able to recognize me!”Xiao Gui was worried.
"No." Duan Hu shook his head.
"I didn't bring back the families of these soldiers alive. It's already sad enough for them. I can't let them shed blood after crying!”
Duan Hu was still talking.
Not long after, Zhao Podi hurried back to the Courier Station of the Ministry of War on his warhorse.
"General, General, Zhang Erniu's mother and nephew are not at home.”
"This subordinate asked around and found out that Er Niu's mother brought her grandson to the temple in Chongnan Lane to pray for blessings.”Chao Po said while panting.
"I understand. Xiao Gui, Zhao Podi, take your men to the place where the soldiers of Chongbei Lane are gathered. No one is allowed to leave there before leaving Shangjing. Do you hear me?”"This is an order!" Duan Hu said in a deep voice.”
"Yes, General!"
Xiao Gui and Zhao Podi quickly agreed.
"Lead this general's horse!"
Duan Hu walked out of the post station of the Ministry of War in his armor.
Outside the posthouse, the carriage that had come out from the palace to pick him up had not left.
The young eunuch waited outside anxiously.
When he saw Duan Hu come out, the eunuch stepped forward and blocked Duan Hu.
"Courage, the banquet is about to begin. Why did you change into armor?”The young eunuch looked at Duan Hu, who was dressed in armor, and asked.
Duan Hu turned his head and glanced at the young eunuch beside him.
On the other side, Zhao Podi had already brought over his warhorse.
Duan Hu jumped onto his warhorse.
"Courage Uncle, Your Majesty is still waiting for Courage Uncle to eat in the palace.”The young eunuch said anxiously.
"I still have something to do, so I won't be going. Go back and tell His Majesty!”Duan Hu said.
"Ah?"
The young eunuch was clearly stunned. He hadn't expected Duan Hu to say this.
Not going?
The Emperor had set up a banquet to celebrate his contributions, but now he actually said he wasn't going.
Wasn't Duan Hu a little too bold?
"Uncle Zhong Yong, this is not a joke. His Majesty has ordered you to enter the palace for a meal. If you don't go, it will be a crime of disobeying the edict!”Cold sweat dripped down the young eunuch's forehead.
"Giddyup!"
Duan Hu didn't have the time to pay attention to this little eunuch. He immediately rode his horse in the direction of Chongnan Lane.
"Courage, Courage!"
The young eunuch beside the carriage shouted loudly.
However, Duan Hu's voice had already disappeared into the night.
