Long Wei and the Secret Guard Yamen are different from the official offices next to them, except for a few civilian officials who don't need to stay in the yamen, the thinking style is calm, and the high-level of Long Wei, naturally no one dares to care about her whereabouts. Getting up and leaving the yamen, Si Feng first went to the West Market, looked east and west, pretended to buy things, and observed whether anyone was following him.

Confirming that no one followed her, Si Feng rode into Huaiyuan Fang, Si Qing and Si Chen lived in Huaiyuan Fang after they got married, the two families lived next to each other, and the two daughters withdrew from Long Wei after they got married, and concentrated on their husbands and children at home. Siqing and Sichen each have a son and a daughter after they get married, Si Feng has no idea of starting a family, but he loves the children of his sister very much, and he is the stepmother of several children.

Siqing's husband Xiao Shengyi is on duty in the left guard, and he has to change every five days, and he is not at home, Sichen's husband Li Laigao is even more in Huazhou with Jiang Anyiyuan, Li Laigao is now a six-rank official, and he will be promoted to Wupin in two years, and his family can accompany him, so Sichen plans to go to Huazhou as well.

Si Feng came to Si Chen's house and asked her to send someone to summon Si Qing and tell the two of them about the doubts in her heart. When Si Chen heard this, he was anxious and said, "I have to inform my senior sister and brother-in-law quickly so that they can get ready." ”

Siqing calmed down and said: "The Longwei Secret Guard sent so many people to Huazhou, and they also hid it from their senior sister, it is likely that they want to deal with their brother-in-law, if the court really wants to deal with their brother-in-law, we are afraid that we will also be stared at, and this matter will have to be discussed." ”

Half an hour later, Si Feng left Si Chen's house, and then Si Chen came to the Zhenwei Dart Bureau with a large bag of clothes, and the Dart Bureau gave the winter clothes to her husband Li Laigao, who was far away in Huazhou. The next day, the dart bureau escorted the goods to Huazhou, and shortly after leaving Beijing, two fast horses quietly left the brigade and galloped towards Huiye Mansion.

At three o'clock on September 2, two fast horses galloped into Huiye Mansion and stopped in front of the Jiangfu Gate. The letter recounted the recent rumors about Jiang Anyi in Beijing, and then mentioned that a hundred masters of the Dragon Guard and the Secret Guard accompanied Qin to Beijing. Xin Fei was in a hurry, she had been in Longwei for many years, and even if she confirmed that it was for her husband.

This time the risk came suddenly, and even Sifeng didn't know the purpose of the Dragon Guard's secret guard master, and Tian Shoulou and the others had no news. Xin Fei just wanted to send someone to invite Jiang Anyi back to his house, but thinking that the matter was secret, maybe Long Wei's secret guard had already sent someone to spy on Jiang Lang in secret, and he sent someone to invite him to startle the snake.

After a little hesitation, Xin Fei pretended to be casual and said, "Go and invite Mr. Zhang, just say that someone sent a few jars of fine wine and invited him to taste it." ”

After reading Si Chen's letter, Zhang Keji twisted his beard and muttered for a moment, and said, "From the letter, it seems that the Longwei Secret Guard sent so many people to Huazhou for the sake of the lord. With so many people going out of Beijing, it must be the will of the Son of Heaven, and it seems that the Son of Heaven listened to the rumors. The lord is an important minister of the court, and he has recently made great contributions, and it is impossible to punish the crime based on these rumors alone, so Zhang believes that it is very likely that the prince will come to Beijing. ”

Xin Fei frowned, and said: "The last time Jiang Lang was imprisoned, he almost lost his life, this time the Son of Heaven sent the Dragon Guard to arrest him, and I am afraid that there will be more than one bad luck when he enters Beijing." ”

Zhang Keji smiled slightly and said, "Woe and blessing lurk, why don't you take this opportunity to persuade the lord to stand on his own feet and no longer be bound by the court." ”

Xin Fei was stunned, she knew that Zhang Keji was secretly accumulating strength for the Jiang family in case of emergency. At first, Xin Fei didn't think so, what could she do with the power of a family, if she was discovered by Long Wei's secret guard, it would be the way to get into trouble, and she had secretly warned Jiang Anyi.

After Jiang Anyi became the envoy of Huazhou, Xinfei communicated with Zhang Keji more and more, and couldn't help but be shocked by the strength that Zhang Keji had accumulated over the years: hundreds of people in Pingshan Town were able to defeat more than 10,000 heavenly troops, and they took the old lady and their relatives and friends to escape safely; An Yong and Shi are in the Anxi camp, Jiang Lang's personal guards are in the Anxi camp, hundreds of captains are Jiang's family, plus the newly recruited soldiers, most of the Anxi camp only recognizes Jiang Lang's orders; Xuchanghua secretly trained 8,000 soldiers and horses in Qizhou, and turned into the Jiang family's private army, with chariots and horses all over the world, as well as Zhenwei Dart Bureau; Jiang, Guo, Huang, Yu, and Li joined forces to trade with the Western Regions, and they were truly rich and rival countries; For the people of Neihua Prefecture, they only know that Jiang Lang does not know the Son of Heaven, and they control the Gobi Desert in their hands, Rong Mi and Xiu Li bow their heads, and Shasu, Qianglan, Tian Wei, and Daqi can be allies.

Zhang Keji continued: "The lord has made countless contributions to the court, but today the son has a lot of suspicion of the lord, which is in response to the old saying. Even if he escapes safely this time, what will happen next time, Zhang is afraid that the lord will not be able to escape the fate of losing his official position and resigning after all, and he will even be killed, which will affect his family. ”

Xin Fei said categorically: "You must not sit back and watch Jiang Lang take risks. ”

Zhang Keji saw Xinfei and said with a smile: "That's why Zhang advocates taking the opportunity to stand on his own." At present, Rao Qiangfeng's army is in turmoil in China, Wu Yanhao's remnants are rioting along the coasts of Lizhou, Weizhou, and Duanzhou, and the continuous war in the northern desert is continuous, and the court is unable to target Huazhou, which is a good opportunity to stand on its own. ”

Xin Fei's breathing became heavy, as Zhang Keji said, at this time, self-reliance can be said to occupy the right time, place and people, not only does the court not have the energy to deal with Huazhou, but on the contrary, it is afraid that Huazhou will raise troops and cause chaos. Xinfei's eyes lit up with a raging fire, for the sake of Yi'er's future, it is worth taking a risk, even if there is a disagreement in the future, the family can still be at ease when they go to the Western Regions.

Zhang Keji saw the red light of excitement on Xin Fei's face, and knew that he had moved her. Jiang Anyi's temperament is mild, although he has been treated unfairly, he is still loyal to the court, if there is no great change, it may be difficult to arouse his resistance, Xinfei is different, with a strong desire for power, and the fact that she helps the lord to stand on his own has added two possibilities.

"First of all, I have to send someone to inquire where the court Qin is going, and I can't tell the lord about this matter", Zhang Keji said: "A hundred masters of the Longwei secret guard came to arrest the lord, long live the lord is very jealous of the lord, I am afraid that the Huang Gonggong is doing bad in secret." ”

Xin Fei raised her eyebrows and said coquettishly: "This eunuch, I will cut off his head sooner or later." ”

"A hundred masters, you must be guarded." Zhang Keji said: "I guess the Longwei Secret Guard will divide the soldiers into two ways, one way to announce the arrest of the lord, and the other way I am afraid that they will come to the mansion to arrest the lord's wife and children and force the lord to comply." There are more than 50 guards in the mansion, all of whom are worthy of a battle, but they are still weak, so they must immediately send people to Xiangxueju to summon Tian Shaoqiu, Chen Ankai and others, plus the masters beside Guo Huaili, there are about fifty or sixty people, so there is no need to be afraid of the secret guards of the dragon guard. At the same time, he sent someone to tell An Yong and Shi that it was very likely that the court would change the governor of the capital, and they should be prepared to deal with the situation, and they should not let the court send someone to control the camp."

Xin Fei said worriedly: "I'm afraid that Jiang Lang will obey his orders and be arrested." ”

Zhang Keji laughed and said, "This is for Mrs. to help." ”

…………

On September 3, Lu Huaien stayed at a post house in Tashan County, and Xue Minlin quietly visited that night. Lu Huaien learned from Xue Minlin's mouth that the announcement was to summon Jiang Anyi's family to Beijing, and the accompanying dragon guard secret guard masters were to prevent Jiang Anyi from disobeying the order.

Lu Huaien has been on an errand for many years, and he has gone out to read countless wills, and Jiang Anyi is afraid that this announcement will be more auspicious. Lu Huaien sighed secretly, he couldn't help much, he could only pray that Jiang Anyi could save the day, Xue Minlin instructed him to arrive at Jinglue Mansion tomorrow to read the will, and the journey of more than forty miles would be counted as time.

On September 4, as soon as the city gate was opened, Xue Minlin took his personal guards to the Anxi Protectorate. The Anzai Prefecture is located in the town of Tongqiao, thirty miles west of Aino Prefecture, between the Anzai Camp and Aino Prefecture. Before noon, Xue Minlin galloped into Tongqiao Town, he did not go directly to the Anxi Duhufu, but came to the restaurant at the head of the town. Xue Minlin stayed in Tashan County for six days, and had already made contact with Zhu Zipu's old department, and thirteen people in the army, including Sima Xu Guohong, Dingyuan General Jiang Ming, and Ranger General Deng Junwei, were waiting on the second floor early.

After the banquet was set, Xue Minlin and everyone had a few words, and asked about the situation in the army, and everyone returned to Anxi to supervise Pingzhong in the Shuai Mansion, Jiang Anyong, He Xigui and others were in the Matai Anxi camp, and everything was as usual.

Xue Minlin said: "The generals drank less wine, and after eating, they went to announce the decree with the marshal, and promised that Hou Zhenshou had worked hard in Huazhou for many years, and long live him to return to Beijing to serve as the governor of the Taiwei Mansion, so that he could reunite with his family." ”

Zheng system, the family members of the generals above the fourth rank of the foreign army must be placed in Beijing, Jiang Anyi is a military envoy and a civilian, so he is not listed, and Jiang Anyong and He Xigui are not qualified.

"Just in case, can you be prepared?" Xue Minlin asked.

Jiang Ming responded: "The last general received the order of the commander, and today brought a thousand soldiers to be stationed in the south of the town, the commander can rest assured, these thousand brothers are all under my command, and without the manpower placed by the Jiang family, the news will not be leaked." ”

After eating in a hurry, Xue Minlin took these people to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, Guan Pingzhong was stunned when he heard the news that the Taiwei Mansion had sent someone to come, and he did not receive the official letter from Beijing. Sheng sat in the handsome tent, and saw Xu Guohong, Jiang Ming and others gathered around a middle-aged man, he didn't know Xue Minlin.

Xue Minlin politely clenched his fists and arched his hand at Guan Pingzhong behind the handsome case: "The last general, Xue Minlin, has seen the Baocheng Hou, and Xue Mou played the edict of the Son of Heaven to come and take over the position of the governor of Anxi, which is the sigil given by the Son of Heaven and the order of the Taiwei Mansion and the Ministry of War. ”

Guan Pingzhong took the official document, and his heart was shocked, although he had already intended to leave the Anxi Protectorate, but the court did not change him quietly. He had heard of Xue Minlin, Xue Minlin was a believer of the Son of Heaven, and if he succeeded him, could it be that the Son of Heaven had doubts about himself, could it be that he had been sued for cooperating with Jiang Anyi for profit?

Suspicious of the Jun order, Guan Pingzhong stood up and said, "Since the Son of Heaven has an order, Guan Mou will act according to the order, please Xue Dudu be promoted to sit." ”

Xue Minlin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Guan Pingzhong's cooperation made it extremely smooth to take over as the governor of Anxi, and immediately smiled: "Xue thank you for your support, Hou Ye was promoted to the head of the Taiwei Mansion, and Xue will take care of Hou Ye in the future." ”

The two exchanged a few polite words, Xue Minlin was promoted to sit in the handsome tent, and the generals and officials in the capital protection mansion came to pay homage to the new governor. Xue Minlin passed down the first handsome order, and summoned Shen Zheng, a general above the fifth rank of the Anxi battalion, to come to the capital to see it.
