In a small courtyard at the root of the southern city wall of Juyongguan, Yang Muyun, Ning Zuer and Lin Meier were inspecting a tunnel entrance, which was set under the kang shop in the bedroom of the main house, and it really couldn't be found if you didn't look carefully.

They stared at the tunnel entrance with serious expressions, and after a while, several Jinyi Guard captains came out of it.

"Lord Ning," one of the lieutenants bowed his hand to Ning Zu'er and said, "This tunnel leads to a small forest five miles outside the city, and there are traces of footprints and ruts in the forest. ”

"Hmm......" Ning Zu'er looked at Yang Muyun and Lin Mei'er, "Without further ado, I have to quickly bring someone to chase after me." ”

"Young Master Ning," Yang Muyun met his gaze and said, "I'll go with you." ”

"And my ......" Lin Mei'er couldn't help but say, when she saw that other people's eyes were looking at her, her pretty face turned red and lowered her head.

Everyone was about to descend the tunnel when a familiar and cold voice came from outside the courtyard.

"None of you need to go," said a gray figure that floated into the room.

"Brother Leng?" "Senior brother?" The faces of the three of them showed surprise in unison.

Leng Yifei glanced at them lightly, "Sain Polo I have already brought back." ”

————————————

In an octagonal pavilion in the backyard of Yanchun Building, a beautiful woman with long hair and a slender body like the moon is caressing a quaint long piano, and her slender jade fingers are gently swiped on the strings.

Behind her, there stood an unusually handsome young man, who looked a little more beautiful than the beautiful woman who stroked the qin, and listened to this melodious tune, she bowed her head slightly.

The song was over, and the beautiful woman's beautiful eyes looked at the young man, "Miss Lin, do you see how well the slave family plays?" ”

That young man was Lin Meier, she was dressed in men's clothes, standing there like a Zhilan jade tree.

"Well," she smiled at the beautiful woman who stroked the qin, "Miss Siyan is very talented, and in just a few hours, the seventh section of this plum blossom three alleys has been completely proficient, and I think it will take a few days to fully master the last three sections." ”

"It's still Miss Lin who teaches well," Siyan said with a bright smile: "After being busy for so long, you don't think the slave family is stupid, and the slave family is already grateful." Looking at the sky, it should be almost noon, so Yingying stood up and said to Lin Meier: "The slave family has prepared a meal in the hall, I hope Miss Lin will not be too rude, and move to rest for a while." ”

"No," Lin Mei'er waved her hand and said, "I should also go back to Beijing on the road, I can't delay any longer......" took out a yellowed scroll from her sleeve and handed it over, "Miss Siyan is proficient in music theory, even if I am not around, I must be able to study it by myself, this is the score of the last four sections of the plum blossom three lanes, so leave it for the girl to study carefully!" ”

Siyan's eyes widened in surprise, "How can the slave family be ...... such a valuable thing?"

"Take it," Lin Mei'er couldn't help but say and stuffed the book into her hand, "The sword is given to the strong man, and the pink is given to the beauty." I'm a person who likes to dance and play with swords.,Music theory is only occasionally involved.,Far less obsessed with Miss Siyan.,I can hand over the score to the girl.,It should be.,The girl doesn't push it anymore.。 "Farewell!" With that, he turned around and walked out of the pavilion.

Siyan stared at her figure, and suddenly asked in a loud voice, "Miss Lin, will we see each other again?" ”

"If there is fate, we will meet again." Lin Mei'er didn't look back, her voice was still floating in the courtyard, but the person left the courtyard suddenly.

......

"My lord," Mo Buyu was so excited when he saw Yang Muyun again that he couldn't even speak, and only said after a while, "Seeing that you are okay, my heart will be put back in my stomach." ”

Yang Muyun patted his arm, he was too tall, he wanted to pat his shoulder but couldn't reach it, and comforted: "I'm very happy that you can come back safely, how about it, it's not hurt, right?" ”

"Where?" Mo Buyu smiled and raised his arm to show that he was very good now, "Thanks to my eldest brother who arrived in time, otherwise it would be difficult to say," his voice changed, and he said with a mysterious face: "By the way, my lord, I will let you meet someone." ”

"Who is it?" Yang Muyun asked.

Mo Buyu smiled, turned around and went out to bring a person who was his body like him back in

。 His blonde hair and blue eyes are striking.

"Alexey?" Yang Muyun raised his eyebrows.

......

The Ma brothers were arrested, and the Guanyin Sect's power in Juyongguan was uprooted, and except for a few leaders who escaped, thousands of sect members were wiped out. Even the Mongol raid was repulsed, not only destroying more than 1,800 Mongol cavalry, but also capturing the Mongol general Shabdan. What's more, Sain Polo has also been rescued, the internal and external troubles have been lifted, and the lock and key of Jingxi have turned from danger to safety. Yu Qian could finally breathe a long sigh of relief.

Although the danger has been eliminated, the defense of Juyongguan still needs to be thoroughly rectified, and the soldiers of Yanqingwei can no longer be used, and all of them need to be eliminated. How to deal with it, you still need to be cautious, Yu Qian thought about it carefully, in the name of escorting himself back to Beijing, he brought thousands of Yanqingwei's soldiers with him, supplemented by a thousand brocade guards, so that it would be foolproof. Bring them into the three camps and confine them first, how to deal with them, wait for the emperor to let the emperor decide! In this way, the defense of the front line of Juyongguan is empty, and for the time being, Changping can only be put on top, although it is still not at ease, but it can only be done like this. Improving the combat effectiveness of the guards is not something that happens overnight, and there is no urgency.

On this day, the brigade marched to the capital, and the safety of Sain Polo was fully responsible for the Jinyi Guard.

When several wooden prisoner carts left the east gate of Juyong Guan, a middle-aged woman staggered up, grabbed the wooden fence of the prisoner cart with both hands, and looked at the people in the prisoner cart with tears in her eyes.

She is Mrs. Ma, and it is Ma Chongtao who is locked up in the prison car.

"Ma'am, why are you here?" Ma Chongtao was so surprised that he rushed over and grabbed her hand.

Mrs. Ma was dressed in a green cloth cotton coat, her face was not smeared with any fat powder, and only a wooden hairpin was inserted diagonally in her bun. He grabbed her husband's hand and sobbed and couldn't speak.

The general escorting the prisoner car was about to drive people away, but was stopped by one person.

"It's not too late for them to finish their words before they leave." The person who spoke was Yang Muyun.

The general recognized him as someone next to Yu Shilang, so he politely arched his hand at him, and then stepped aside.

"Husband," Mrs. Ma said sadly: "The concubine has advised you a long time ago, don't associate with those indiscriminate people in the rivers and lakes, but you just don't listen, and now that you are in prison, it is too late to regret it." ”

"It's all gone, why do you mention it?" Ma Chongtao sighed, not wanting to dwell on the past with her, and clenched her hand, "I really can't rest assured that you and the children are ......" The voice became lower and lower, "You hurry up and leave here with the children, and the younger siblings and the family ......" Secretly stuffed a paper ball into her hand, and whispered: "Don't go back to your hometown, I have written down the place you want to go in detail, where I prepared everything you need for you, even if it is more than enough to raise the children." ”

"Husband, what about you? Will you ever come back? Mrs. Ma asked with teary eyes.

Ma Chongtao smiled miserably, "I have committed a big crime, this time I will enter Beijing, I will definitely die, there is no reason to survive, you don't have to worry about me anymore, after you get to that place, find someone to marry well......"

"No," Mrs. Ma cried bitterly, "the concubine is a member of the Ma family in life, and a ghost of the Ma family in death, and she will never turn her back on your husband." ”

"Why are you doing this?" Ma Chongtao shook his head and smiled bitterly.

The husband and wife hugged their heads and cried again.

"Have you finished crying?" The escort general became a little impatient, "Hurry up, we still have to hurry!" ”

In the bursts of urging, the husband and wife were reluctant to separate.

......

"I didn't expect Ma Chongtao to die, but his wife still didn't give up on him." After seeing this scene, Lin Meier sighed.

"You think Madame Ma should stay away from him so as not to get into trouble, don't you?" Yang Muyun said: "After all, they have been close to each other, how can they say that they can give up?" ”

Lin Meier squinted at him and said nothing.

Yang Muyun was a little hairy by her, and couldn't help asking, "What do you think I'm doing?" ”

"It's nothing," Lin Mei'er retracted her gaze, rolled her eyes and said, "Sometimes I wonder, if it was you who was sitting in the prison car, would your wives also cry and rush to see you off?" ”

Yang Muyun's expression was like swallowing an egg, and he scolded in his heart, there are you like this

Cursed?

"Did I get it right?" Lin Meier said playfully: "It seems that you and your wives have never been in love, so you can't talk about parting." ”

Yang Muyun's face flushed, and he was about to refute a few words, but he was contemplating for a long time, let out a long sigh, and galloped forward.

"Are you angry?" Lin Meier rode a horse to chase after her and asked cautiously.

"I think you're right," Yang Muyun's expression was a little gloomy, "Mengnan, she married me because she avoided the emperor's draft girl, and after we got married, we got together less and left more...... It's really not about getting along. ”

"Do you like her?" Lin Meier asked.

Yang Muyun shook his head, "I don't know, I respect her like a guest, she treats me very politely, no matter what I say, she follows my words, for fear of making me angry." ”

"This shows that she treats you very well," Lin Meier sighed, if she finds a man, let him follow her in everything and make herself happy. His eyes flickered at Yang Muyun, "She is so towards you, why did you marry Zisu again?" Is it because she looks prettier? ”

"This ......" Yang Muyun snorted for a long time, and glanced at Ning Zu'er, who was riding a horse and walking in front, "You have to ask Ning Gongzi." "Thinking that marrying Zisu is like a dream, the dream that Ning Zuer designed for him can't help but wake up in advance.

"Oh?" Lin Mei'er raised her eyebrows, "Could it be that this delicate and beautiful woman was given to you by Ning Gongzi?" ”

......

Juyong Pass is less than 200 miles away from the Beijing Division, and the fast horse will arrive in less than two hours, but the brigade is slow to move, and almost all the officers and soldiers of Yanqingwei are foot soldiers, and there are some prisoner cars walking with the army, and the snow on the road is very thick, so the group walks quite slowly. From the beginning of noon to Shenshi, I arrived at Dayuhe Town, and it was still half the way from Jingshi.

Zhu Ji looked at the long procession, rode his horse to Yu Qian's carriage, and said through the curtains: "Father-in-law, according to this speed, you will arrive in the capital when you arrive, it will be dark at that time, and it will be inconvenient to enter the city, so it is better for you to take the Tartar prince to ride a fast horse first, so that you can get to the capital before dark." ”

Yu Qian lifted the curtain and looked out, and said in a deep voice: "Ji'er, you take this prince first, you must rush to the capital before dark, I will stay here and walk slowly." ”

"Father-in-law," Zhu Ji said worriedly, "I don't know how many remnants of the Guanyin Sect are hidden in this Yanqing Guard, once they attack at night, I am afraid that this brocade guard of less than a thousand people alone will not be able to protect your safety Father-in-law." ”

"I am the right attendant of the military department," Yu Qian said in a deep voice: "The relocation of Yanqingwei is planned by me, how can I just let it go?" It is not yet known how many people in Yanqingwei harbored evil intentions and how many people turned to the imperial court. How can you guess so arbitrarily that they will definitely cause chaos. ”

"Yes, yes, what my father-in-law said is very true," Zhu Ji didn't want to argue with him, and continued to persuade: "It is precisely because of your high position and power that you can't easily get involved in danger outside. You escorted the Tartar prince back to Beijing first, and if you have a son-in-law to lead them slowly, there will never be anything wrong. ”

"No," Yu Qian said categorically: "You are only a thousand households, how can you be the commander of the heavy responsibility?" Once something happens, if you investigate it, those officials in the court will not impeach you, but will only say that I mishandled it, which caused a big disaster," paused, and said in an accentuated tone: "If I don't send all of them to the three battalions to be guarded by myself, how can I let go of my heart?" ”

"But......" Zhu Ji frowned.

"Don't worry," Yu Qian waved his hand to interrupt him: "Yang Muyun and Miss Lin, they are both strong in martial arts, they have protected me all the way here, with them by my side, my safety can be guaranteed, you don't have to worry." And he added, "With me here in town, they will not cause trouble." ”

Seeing the resolute attitude of the old father-in-law, Zhu Ji was not good at persuading anything, so he had to say: "The little son-in-law will also stay with Ning Deputy Qianhu, and with him to protect his father-in-law, the little son-in-law is more at ease." ”

"You are still so cautious in doing things," Yu Qian said with a smile: "Okay, just as you asked, let Ning Gongzi stay." He glanced at him again, "If you can sit in the position of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, this court will be much quieter." ”

"The son-in-law does things but has a clear conscience," Zhu Ji straightened his face and said: "How can you only value your career?" ”
