Dongying people, why did they run to Juyong Pass? Lin Meier frowned and asked.

Yang Muyun shook his head, he is a native of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, in the impression of a child, he always heard the old people of his ancestors say how fierce the coastal robbers of Jiangsu and Zhejiang were during the Hongwu Yongle period, but he didn't expect to meet the traces of the Dongying people at the border pass in the northern Xinjiang, "The Dongying people colluded with the chaotic parties in my Ming Dynasty to be unfavorable to my Ming Dynasty." ”

"Boy," Wang Yaoxian glanced at him, "It seems that there are a lot of troubles around you, and even the Dongying people have been provoked by you." ”

"It's really bothering the seniors, the juniors ......" Yang Muyun was saying when Wang Yaoxian waved his hand to stop.

"Since your little lover is fine, then please," Wang Yaoxian seemed to be about to give an eviction order, "and there is a long-winded noise. ”

Yang Muyun and Lin Meier, who said it, both had red faces.

"The great kindness of the seniors, the juniors have thanked ...... here" Seeing Wang Yaoxian's impatient look, he said: "Then don't bother the seniors, the juniors will leave!" ”

......

Coming out of Wang Yaoxian's room, before Song Ping and his wife returned, Yang Muyun and Lin Meier walked out of the Qingbao Pavilion and headed for the post house.

"That woman pretending to be an old woman looks like she hates you to the core," Lin Mei'er winked at him, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"Here's the thing...... Yang Muyun told her in detail what he had experienced in Kaifeng, and sighed at the end, "Luzhou, Huai'an, Kaifeng, I have already broken the Guanyin Sect's three major plans in a row, not only that Chu Mingxin, but also the Guanyin Sect hates me to the bone, right?" ”

"That Chu Mingxin appeared in Juyong Pass again, is there any conspiracy?" Lin Mei'er asked, "So you want to catch her and torture her?" ”

"Not only that," Yang Muyun said: "The third highness of the Zhou Palace, Zhu Ziyun, has a life-saving grace for me, his second brother Zhu Ziyun's body was stolen by Chu Mingxin, I have to find a way to help him find it again, I finally met Chu Mingxin here, but unfortunately let her escape again." ”

"I'm afraid it's not easy for you to retrieve Zhu Ziyuan's body," Lin Mei'er said: "Listening to what you just said, that Zhu Ziqi has always had a deep affection for Chu Mingxin, although Chu Mingxin has been using him, but in the end, he also has true feelings for him," his eyes flickered, "Do you see the white flowers on her sideburns, that is because she has been guarding filial piety for a person, that person should be what you call Zhu Ziyuan, right?" ”

"Hmm." Yang Muyun nodded.

"Zhu Ziqi has been removed from the clan by King Zhou," Lin Mei'er said, "Even if you find his body and transport it back to Kaifeng, King Zhou will not accept it." Chu Mingxin will definitely bury his body properly if he steals it, but this is a good explanation for the deceased, why do you keep worrying about it? Seeing that Yang Muyun didn't speak, he continued: "Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, internal and external troubles have not been broken, and this heart does not have to be by you, didn't you listen to what the old man told you, you have to rest for a while, and don't fight with others easily before the Gu poison is eradicated." The news of that group of leather merchants, even if you can hear it, don't ask about it anymore, just hand them over to the local government to keep an eye on, after all, the matter of Lord Yu's return to Beijing is more important. ”

"Maybe you're right," Yang Muyun sighed, "I'm too lenient?" Even that Chu Mingxin said that I was too sensitive in everything. ”

"Since you want to open it," Lin Mei'er smiled, "Then let's go back and talk to Lord Yu, and we will leave for Beijing early tomorrow morning, right?" ”

"Are we going to be separated after we return to Beijing?" Yang Muyun suddenly asked.

Hearing this, Lin Mei'er fell silent, and said for a long time, "There is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, right?" ”

"Yes...... Can this feast not be dispersed? Yang Muyun said in a low voice.

Lin Mei'er's delicate body was shocked, pursed her lips and said, "After returning to the capital, I will be accompanied by your wife, what else do you need me to do?" ”

At this point, there was silence between the two for a while.

When I was about to walk to the inn, I noticed a noise in front of me.

"What's going on?" The two quickened their pace. I saw a little screamer in front of the post house arguing with the guards.

"It's a small pillar." Yang Muyun said secretly.

At this time, the little pillar also saw him, and left his guard and ran towards him.

"Lord Yang, you're finally back," Xiao Zhuzi's face turned bright, and he glared back at the guard at the door of the inn, "They won't let me say anything."

Go in and find you, and I won't be able to tell you your name. ”

"I'm all here, what are you going to do in there?" Yang Muyun smiled at him, "You're in such a hurry to find me, could it be that the news has come out?" ”

Xiao Zhu winked at him, patted his stomach, and said, "I'm a little hungry." ”

Yang Muyun smiled, "Follow me." Glancing at Lin Mei'er again, "Are you coming too?" ”

"Well," Lin Mei'er glanced at him, "I'm afraid you'll be abducted by this kid." ”

......

Xiao Zhuzi ate three bowls of sauce and meat noodles in one go, gnawed two more sauce elbows, wiped his mouth, and burped.

Yang Muyun saw that he was eating with a shiny face, and his eyes widened in surprise, "I really can't see it, you can eat quite a lot." ”

The little pillar smiled.

"Are you full?" Yang Muyun said: "There is not enough to eat. ”

"It's full, but it's ......" Yang Muyun interrupted him before Xiao Zhuzi could finish speaking, "I know, and your brothers," he said, putting a silver ingot on the table, "How about it, it's enough for your brothers to have a good meal, right?" ”

"Well," Xiao Zhuzi nodded with satisfaction, no longer talking nonsense, "They live in the Ma family compound in Jiangtai Hutong in the east of the city, that is, the third alley to the west of Dongguanmen is turned south, and the Ma family compound is very magnificent, and they can be recognized at a glance." ”

"Oh?" Yang Muyun's eyes flashed, "Where is this Ma family's compound a sacred mansion?" ”

The little pillar grinned, didn't speak, and picked up another sauce elbow and nibbled on it. Just took a few bites, and suddenly a "ahhhh

Lin Meier clamped the wrist bone of his left hand with a pair of chopsticks, and pinched it in with a little luck, the small pillar only felt pain through his heart and lungs, and beads of sweat the size of beans oozed from his forehead, "Quick, let go, my hand is about to break." ”

"Lord Yang asked you so angrily, you picked up the shelf," Lin Mei'er looked at him with a smile, "If you don't answer honestly, I'll let your hand be wasted, believe it or not?" ”

"Believe, believe, I believe," Xiao Zhu was so painful that tears were about to flow out, "Sister, let go, I will listen to your orders." ”

"What did you say?" Lin Meier was stunned and withdrew her chopsticks.

Xiao Zhuzi kneaded his wrists, glanced at it timidly, and said, "Characters like my sister are better looking than in the paintings, this ...... I've seen it for a long time. Only a beautiful person like my sister is worthy of this Lord Yang. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lin Meier raised her hand to fight, but there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

Yang Muyun coughed, and said to Xiao Zhuzi with a straight face: "What I asked you just now, can you say it now?" ”

"Well, the little one has nothing to say," Xiao Zhu looked honest, "The Ma family's compound is not another family, it is the mansion of Ma Chongtao, the commander of Yanqingwei." ”

"What?" Yang Muyun was stunned, "Didn't you say that you have never seen these leather dealers?" Why, as soon as they came, they lived in the house of the horse commander. ”

"I don't know about this," she glanced at Lin Mei'er, "My sister just broke my wrist, and I really don't know." ”

"Well, also," Yang Muyun asked again: "Who are the officers and soldiers in the city searching for today?" ”

"This ......," the little pillar scratched his head, "I can't read, but I see that the person in the portrait looks very powerful, and I don't know anything else." However, these officers and soldiers are not from Yanqingwei. ”

"Not Yanqingwei's?" Yang Muyun said strangely: "Could it be that in addition to Yanqingwei, there are other guards in this Juyong Pass?" ”

"No, no," Xiao Zhuzi shook his head again and again, "For many years, Juyong Pass has been stationed here by Yanqingwei, but early this morning, an army of officers and soldiers drove in from the Dongguan Gate and took over the defense of the entire Juyong Pass. ”

"Oh?" A strange feeling rose in Yang Muyun's heart.

......

Yang Muyun and Lin Meier returned to the post house, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw Mo Buyu and Alexai walking towards them.

"Didn't I tell you to go and shut down? Why did you come back so soon? Yang Muyun asked in surprise.

"My lord," Mo Buyu said, "a large group of officers and soldiers came in from the Dongguan Gate today, and there is good."

Thousands of them! They blocked the whole city of Juyongguan, and no one was allowed to leave, and I felt that something was wrong, so I hurried back to tell my lord. ”

Alexei took out a drawing, pointed to the portrait on it, and made a gesture with a whimper.

Yang Muyun looked at the painting, which showed a big man with a Chinese face, about thirty-eight or nineteen years old, with sharp edges and corners, two whiskers on his lips upturned, and his eyes were very powerful.

"Isn't this Sain Polo?" Yang Muyun blurted out, his eyes swept under the portrait, but there was no handwriting underneath. "Could it be that the group of officers and soldiers under the Yifuyuan Restaurant are searching for Sain Polo? No, didn't Governor Luo send General Shi Heng to personally lead 300 elite soldiers to escort Sain Polo into Beijing? According to the calculation of the day, they should have already arrived in the capital, how could there be officers and soldiers searching for him in this Juyong Pass? Could it be that this person just looks like Sain Polo? "There was a lot of doubt in my heart.

A cough sounded coming, and everyone looked up, only to see Yu Qian walking out of it.

"Lord Yu—" Yang Muyun led everyone to bow to Yu Qian.

"Hmm......" Yu Qian nodded to them, his gaze falling on the portrait held by Alexey.

"My lord," Yang Muyun said, "the officers and soldiers are now locked down in the city, and no one is allowed to leave the city......"

"The official you said already knows," Yu Qian interrupted him, "The officers and soldiers who entered the city were all from Changpingwei, and the person they were searching for was Sain Polo. It's just that it's inconvenient to sign the portrait. ”

"Wasn't Sain Polo escorted into Beijing by General Shi Heng?" Yang Muyun was surprised: "Could it be that Sain Polo ran away?" ”

"It's hard to guess why," Yu Qian's face became solemn, "but what is certain is that Sain Polo is nowhere to be found now. The emperor has issued a strict decree to block all the borders, even if he digs three feet into the ground, he must also dig out the Sain Polo," his eyes looked at Yang Muyun and said: "This time the matter of returning to Beijing can be put aside for a while, and then find Sain Polo first." ”

"This ......," Yang Muyun's head grew up, "There are many routes to leave the capital, and whether this Sain Polo escapes in private or is hijacked, he will not necessarily take the line of Juyong Pass." If he wasn't here, how would we find him? ”

"What if Sain Polo goes this way?" Yu Qian said: "Since this official is here, he can't help but ask, Mu Yun, do your best in everything, and don't be afraid of difficulties." Then he said: "It is reported that Sain Polo disappeared in the Beijing Hall last night, and judging from the time, he will never leave the customs now, as long as he is still in my Daming territory, this matter will be possible." ”

"Lord Yu," Yang Muyun said, "If he had already left the capital at night, Mutianyu, the closest to the capital, would be only three hundred miles away, and he would ......be there in two hours if he rode a fast horse."

"Juyong Pass is only 300 miles away from Jingshi, and the Great Wall on the first line of Xuanda has not been fully completed, so there is a great chance of returning to the grassland out of Juyong Pass," Yu Qian argued: "If we search here, we may not find nothing." ”

"Yes, my lord said so." Yang Muyun lowered his head and replied.

"Mu Yun," Yu Qian stepped forward and said to him, "You have dealt with Na Sain Polo a lot, and he was also captured by you, so you will take people to search carefully in this city to see if you can find anything?" ”

"Yes, my lord," Yang Muyun raised his head and asked, "There is a matter that I don't understand, the blockade of this Juyong Guancheng and the order to Yanqingwei in the city is enough, why let the officers and soldiers of Changpingwei come over to block the whole city?" ”

"The emperor is also there to meet the needs of the emergency, right?" Yu Qian said: "The location of Juyong Pass is extremely dangerous, and the Hu people have traveled a lot in the past, if someone secretly communicates with the Tartars, I am afraid that a Yanqing guard will not be able to guard against it." ”

"Could there be another reason for this?" Yang Muyun lowered his voice and said, "Is there something wrong with this Yanqingwei?" ”

"It's hard to say," Yu Qian's gaze became deeper, "Yan Qingwei commanded Ma Chongtao to control the civil affairs and taxation of Juyong Pass, and it is said that he still does a lot of business with outside the customs in private...... "We are determined to find someone, if it is not necessary, it is better not to cause more trouble." ”

"Yes, sir." Yang Muyun arched his hand and said.

......

"We originally wanted Lord Ming to prepare to return to Beijing tomorrow morning," out of the gate of the post house, Lin Meier smiled at Yang Muyun: "I didn't expect to stay, but you left as you wished." ”
