On the eighth day of the first month of August, Xia Xun rushed to Kaifeng, and the king of Kaifeng Zhou personally went out of the city to greet him.

According to the Ming system, the subjects of the world, whether they are eunuchs or surnames, regardless of the size of the title, should pay tribute to the vassal king, the king of Zhou did not need to go out to welcome, Xia Xun entered the city and had to meet the king of Zhou first, but the king of Zhou was condescending and personally welcomed out of Kaifeng ten miles outside the city.

His life can be regarded as Xia Xun helping him pick it up, otherwise, he would probably follow the example of Zhu Bai, the king of Xiang, and commit suicide and die. Knowing the grace should be reported, not to mention the important ministers of the Xia Xun Dynasty, only this point must be befriended, and it is taboo for the vassal king to make friends with the courtiers, because of the previous relationship, the two are upright and honest, and others have nothing to say.

Xia Xun arrived in Kaifeng and was warmly welcomed by King Zhou, and five days later, Xie Xie and Su Ying also rushed to Kaifeng with Chen Dong Ye'an. Ye Qianqian has been under Xia Xun's control now, and when thank you arrived, she knew that the predecessor of the wind gate who fought with her in Suzhou was actually Wan Songling back then.

Ye Qianqian knew that Wan Songling had escaped, so he didn't care about the previous things and kept them secret, so in order to avoid the pain of flesh and skin, he told everything about the past. Thank you for this to know that the layout in Suzhou that day, the reason why Wan Songling was not caught is purely because of the auspicious nature of Wan Songling, because of the accident of pity for the jade, it is not that his means of fighting wits and strength are not as good as Wan Songling, and the success is a failure, which can only be said to be a creation and a man.

Xia Xun can't let the local officials know the real reason for arresting Wan Songling, because if the local officials know, the news will definitely leak out, once someone with a heart gets the news, or Wan Songling understands the reason, no one can guarantee what he will do. If you only pursue it in the name of Tuoba Mingde's party, the local government will not do its best, and if you don't use the official mansion of the local government and only use the power of the hidden dragon to track down, it will be a needle in a haystack and there is no way to find it. As a result, with Wan Songling's shrewdness, since Xingyang escaped, there was no more of his whereabouts.

Although Xia Xun cared about the whereabouts of the glaze, he didn't care about asking in person at this time, because ...... Emperor Yongle has arrived.

Early in the morning, ten miles outside the north gate of Kaifeng City, until the road of Zhou Wangfu in Kaifeng City, all the martial arts are strictly enforced, and there is a post on the street, a post of ten steps, and a sentry of ten steps, and it is arranged until the long pavilion of ten miles. The soldiers standing guard were clearly dressed and armored, with swords under their ribs and spears in their hands, and the horse team and the ceremonial band that greeted the holy car rushed to the outside of the ten-mile long pavilion early.

, The sky is not yet full of light, the officials of the three divisions of Henan will gather in the palace of Zhou, just after the fifth watch, the king of Zhou, the prince and Xia Xun came out of the palace in a bright body, the officials in front of the hall gathered, and the palace guards who were ready to accompany the departure outside the hall stood solemnly left and right, silent.

King Zhou and Xia Xun were not polite to the big guys, they solemnly commanded, and everyone rode on the road one after another, and a few carriages followed, which were some officials who were too old to ride horses.

Arrived at the ten-mile long pavilion, the officials who arrived first had already arranged here, the red carpet was paved, the color shed was high, on both sides were the musicians who were equipped with big drums and horns, silk bamboo bells and various musical instruments, everywhere was still wearing red and hanging colors, busy endlessly, after everyone arrived here, people shouted horses neighing, noisy very.

King Zhou is the brother of the Yongle Emperor's mother, Xia Xun is the Yongle Emperor has not yet ascended the throne to follow the left and right ministers, both are familiar with Zhu Di, so they are not nervous, after the two arrived, they entered the shed that had been set up a long time ago, drank tea and ate snacks, and waited for the emperor to come, the other officials were not as calm as the two, and the officials who had a role in the body were even more nervous, walking around from time to time, for fear that the things they were responsible for would go wrong.

The probe horse that inquired about the emperor's chariot was like a meteor, constantly shuttling back and forth, constantly sending news of the emperor's army.

As the sun rose, the noisy atmosphere gradually calmed down, and many officials who had not sat down early to eat tea and snacks and rest their feet to recuperate were now wilting, because it was already three days old......

Suddenly, another fast horse came galloping and shouted: "The emperor has arrived, the emperor has arrived!" ”

After a while, King Zhou, Shizi and Xia Xun also slowly walked out of the tent, dressed and stepped forward.

There was a sound of "boom", as soon as the three of Zhou Wang and Xia Xun met, as if they had received a silent order, they lined up to greet the left and right, and the soldiers who were lined up in the shape of goose wings immediately straightened their waists, clenched the weapons in their hands, and thousands of people moved at the same time, and there was a blasting sound.

Xia Xun changed into a formal official uniform, wearing a wingless flower black gauze hat, wearing a unicorn complement suit, a leather belt waist, and soap boots, while the king of Zhou and the prince were dressed as county kings, wearing a winged crown, wearing a python dragon robe, and the three of them marched together, and the horn had been blown in the military formation, and the sound spread for ten miles.

In the distance, the swords and guns were cold and bright, the banner of the dragon was fluttering in the wind, and the king of Zhou, Xia Xun and the prince of Zhou stood solemnly, and saw a large army coming. One of the mandarin ducks in red robes, the same leather horses, long lacquer spears, bows and knives, leather shields, bright armor, well-equipped, people like tigers, horses like dragons, the spirit is magnificent, it is really strong as a mountain, a good elite soldier!

This time the emperor is the Northern Expedition to the desert, died in the Ya lost the li, forced to land in Arutai, the war is impressive, naturally to the rules of the army to be strong, not to mention that the Yongle Emperor is extremely martial, he does not care much about the ordinary royal rules, but likes the style of the army the most, so seeing that the guard of honor is not very different from the ordinary Luan battle, King Zhou and Xia Xun do not think so.

Seeing that the army was about to arrive, a member of the army would wear chain mail, a golden phoenix helmet, ride a snow-white horse, a golden dragon brocade robe, a waist and ape arms, a face full of beards, and be fierce, King Zhou and Xia Xun couldn't help but be moved, the two of them looked at each other, and hurriedly stepped forward together. Honk! ”

"Tom! Tong! Tong! ”

"Woo~Woo~Woo~~~"

The giant cannon sounded, the drums and trumpets sounded in unison, the King of Zhou, the prince and Xia Xun sped up, and quickly walked to the front of the military formation that had just stopped, and gave a long salute: "Ministers, welcome the emperor's holy drive!" As he spoke, the three of them brushed their robes together, and they were about to bow down the dust, and the soldiers and horses in front of them separated, and a long laugh came out: "Uncle Wang, the prince, and the prince, don't salute, Gao Xu is just standing for his father!" ”

The three of them were stunned, and when they looked up, they saw that it was Zhu Gaoxu who was riding a white horse galloping out of the battle, and it was Zhu Gaoxu who was sitting upright immediately. Zhu Gaoxu is stronger and more mature than before, with a beard, no matter his body shape or temperament, he is cool to Emperor Xiao Yongle, plus he is riding the emperor's royal horse white horse, and the three of them actually mistook him for Zhu Di.

King Zhou's brows furrowed slightly, and he was immediately displeased, if he wasn't here, just Xia Xun or the prince came to greet him, and Zhu Gaoxu was honored in the battle, after all, he was named the king of Han, and his status was second only to the emperor. But there is also a difference between the king and the king, he is not the prince, he is the king of Han, he is the king of Zhou, and his king of Zhou is the uncle of his king of Han.

King Zhou was unhappy in his heart, but it was inconvenient to show it obviously, so he just snorted lightly, straightened his waist, and was silent.

Xia Xun didn't think so, gave another salute, and said with a smile: "Minister Yang Xu, I have seen His Royal Highness the King of Han, His Royal Highness is majestic, cool Xiao Sheng, just looked at it from a distance, Chen really thought that the emperor had arrived!" ”

At this time, the prince of Zhou stepped forward and said, "Brother Wang has seen Brother Wang!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu laughed, raised his legs and jumped off the war horse. This time with the emperor to the north, his performance was remarkable, and he won the favor of his father, not only gave him the imperial horse white horse, but also gave him a guard. Originally, after Zhu Gaoxu was named the king of Han, he should have been equipped with three guards and horses, but he had been in Beijing and refused to give up the domain, so naturally he didn't have to give him these three guards and horses.

But this time he followed his father to the north, made many military exploits, and regained Zhu Di's favor, he tried to ask his father for a guard, and pointed out that he wanted to defend the heavens, Zhu Di was actually approved, Zhu Gaochu was really proud. Tian Cewei! Tian Cewei! There was also a Tiance horse in the history of the history, but it was the pro-army guard of the Qin king Li Yushi Min, and his father promised to give him the Tiance guard, what does this mean?

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu had already regarded himself, Zhu Laoyi, as Li Laonaner, who had succeeded in the Xuanwumen mutiny, and was naturally proud.

Zhu Gaoxu got off the royal horse, took a few steps forward proudly, and did not owe a little bit of waist, and made a very reluctant hand salute to his Uncle Wang, and said: "Uncle Wang, please forgive the little nephew for being in armor, and he can't give a full salute!" ”

King Zhou was furious, but Xia Xun put his hand on his arm at the right time, made a gesture of inviting him to go with him, took advantage of the situation to give him a look, and appeased King Zhou, then turned to Zhu Gaoxu and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Zhou has been waiting for the Holy Lord for a long time, please let His Royal Highness the King of Han lead the way, let's go to see the Holy Lord together!" ”

Three Bun Bula River, Monkey Ridge.

Wan Songling and Gongsun Gale were running between the valleys in embarrassment.

Wan Ran ran was chased by Xia Xun to the sky, and finally ran to Xingyang, thinking that he could be quiet here for a while, but he didn't want Xia Xun to be ghostly, and he chased after him again, which really scared his bitter gall, Wan Songling put his heart sideways, and simply walked out of the pass north, planning to hide outside the pass for a while. Anyway, he and Gongsun Dafeng both know Mongolian, and they fled to the territory of the Mongolians outside the Guanwai, and they can live with their skills, and they can survive here for three or five or seven years, and it is not too late to return to the Central Plains when the wind and waves are calm.

While the two were walking, there was a sudden shout, and several lassos flew out of thin air, putting the two of them into a sturdy knot, and then many murderous Mongolian men with bows and knives flashed out of the bushes on both sides of the path.

When Wan Songling saw the knife and gun, he hurriedly shouted in Mongolian: "May I ask which tribe are you heroes, our two brothers are just ordinary mountain herdsmen, please don't hurt us, don't hurt us!" ”

A big man next to him who had never moved his hand commanded in a deep voice: "Search them to see if they are Tatars, if they are ordinary people, just chop them up!" ”

Wan Songling sighed in his heart when he heard this, who are these people? This is the territory of the Tatars, why do they want to kill the Tatars? If they are Han people, from their dress, hair and skin, and even the polar Mongolian language, they really don't look like it. Wan Songling was strange and scared in his heart, sparing him with all his wisdom, what else could he do if he encountered this kind of master who cares about people's lives?

It turned out that this place was the territory of the Tatars, but this group of people was the men and horses of Warat, and the leader who spoke was none other than Tohuan, the son of Mahammu, the loyal king of Warat. Zhu Di marched north, Tuhuan led the Warat soldiers and horses to lurk on the eastern border to pick up the cheap, but Benjamin fled into the Warat territory and was killed by him, Mahamu took the opportunity to invite Zhu Di with Benjamin's head, and asked for the Tatar territory to be rewarded to the three kings of Warat.

Zhu Di was willing to be fooled, not only refused to divide the Tatar territory, but also supported Arutai to balance Warat. Refusing to stop there, he tried to forcibly plunder the Tatar territory with his soldiers and horses. Arutai's old scheming is far from being comparable, and it is a home battle, which is his advantage, but the flaw is that he has just died of the Great Khan, and tens of thousands of elite soldiers have been wiped out by the Ming army, and his strength has been greatly damaged.

In recent days, Tuohuan fell into Arutai's plan, lost one, and the brigade of men and horses separated, had to run south, hiding in the mountains near the border wall of the Ming Dynasty, Arutai had just been killed by the Ming Dynasty to lose his armor, and he never dared to wave the army southward, causing the Ming army to misunderstand, but the result was just to catch Wan Songling and Gongsun Dafeng.

Several big men rushed to the two of them, searched through them, and found some gold and silver treasure money, and even the beautiful jade that Wan Songling personally treasured was also searched, and showed it to the leader big man: "My lord, look at this beautiful jade, these two people must not be ordinary shepherds!" ”

"Huh?"

The leader took the treasure seal and looked at it, his body suddenly shook, and he jumped in front of Wan Songling with an arrow step, and said with a shocked face: "You...... Who the hell are you? This square seal ...... How will it be on your hands? ”

Wan Songling stared at the change in the god of the Mongolian leader, and when he saw that the anger on his face had completely disappeared, there was a hint of excitement in his eyes when he looked at him, and his heart suddenly moved.

On the side, Gongsun Dafeng saw that the Mongolian leader was very concerned about the beautiful jade, and thought: "If the goods are lost, they can be cheated again, but if they are lost, they will not be able to find it back." Then he said in Mongolian, "If you like this ...... this good man?"

Wan Songling suddenly turned his head and said sharply: "Agadorji, you shut up for me!" ”

Gongsun Gale was stunned: "How did I become Agadorji?" ”

However, although there are not as many apprentices in Wan Songling as Ye Qianqian, it is not stupid to be a liar after all, and when he heard this, he knew that there must be a reason, so he immediately closed his mouth.

"Agadorji?"

Tuhuan trembled excitedly, looked at Wan Songling and said, "He...... Is he Agadorji? Are you brothers? You...... You're not spoiled, aren't you? ”

Wan Songling saw the change in his expression and knew that there was a play, so he raised his head at the moment and said proudly: "If you want to kill or chop, it's up to you!" I am a descendant of Genghis Khan, and you must not humiliate me! ”

"It's really you, it's really you! Hahaha......"

Takeoff didn't spend looking up to the sky and laughed wildly three times, laughed, and immediately shouted: "Untie up!" Hurry up and loosen it! This is a detachment that does not take off the flower Taiji! ”

Wan Songling's tense heart suddenly let go: "Meng is right!" Fuck, that's okay too? The official pretended to be by the old man is getting bigger and bigger......"
