I know that they only know that they go to Xuanfu, and they don't know what the situation of Xuanfu is now, so in order to make them pay attention, I can only tell them the truth: "The three eldest brothers are not brothers, I am afraid, it is really a special mission this time, you don't know the military situation of Xuanfu now, there are 200,000 iron cavalry of the 'Meng' ancients, Chen Bing, under the city, these 'Mongolian' ancients will not stay in the military camp honestly, they will definitely fight grass valleys everywhere, we are likely to encounter a small group of 'Mongolian' ancient cavalry along the way, so there will still be danger on the road, we only have a thousand guards, if we encounter a large force' Meng's ancient cavalry, we are in danger, so I remind a few big brothers not to be careless, if you feel bad, you will escort Lord Zhang to go first, you must protect the safety of Lord Zhang, he is the hope of our Ming Dynasty, if something happens to such a good official, even if we die, we can't atone for our crimes."

"Is this true, these 'Mongolian' cavalry of the ancients are very powerful, I don't know if our Beijing army can win the other party, I thought it was an easy errand, I didn't expect that there was such a big danger waiting for us, brothers, you remember Brother Lan's words, protect Lord Zhang at the critical time, leave," Liu Jinhu looked at the two of them and said

"Big brother, don't worry, even if you really meet the 'Meng' ancients, the knife in our brother's hand is not a vegetarian, we will definitely protect Lord Zhang."

I saw that several of them understood the stakes, and when they saw that the time was not early, they said: "Three big brothers, you should also go and rest, and you will have to hurry early tomorrow morning."

After sending the three of them away, I said to the post man who was waiting in the distance: "This big brother, I have something to ask you."

The postman saw that I told him to run quickly and said, "What does this lord have to command?"

"I'd like to ask you if it's usually safe around here, if there are any bandits or something?"

"My lord, this place is very close to the capital, there are no bandits and bandits, and the usual law and order is good, and occasionally a few small 'Mao' thieves don't dare to attack the Qincha convoy."

"That's good, you have to pay more attention to the safety here tonight, if something happens to Master Zhang, you don't need to ask for your head."

"Your Excellency, don't worry, I have ordered all the officers and soldiers in the post station not to sleep tonight, and to guard every corner of the post station to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

After arranging everything, I also think that it will not come out now, and I will return to the house for anything, the father and son of the Liu family have prepared all the footwashing water for me, and the two of them are still laying on the ground, it seems that they want to sleep in my room tonight, I asked curiously: "Brother Liu, what is this for, isn't there a room prepared for you below?"

Lao Liu walked up to me and whispered: "Young master, I feel wrong, so I want to accompany you in the house to protect your safety" Looking at Lao Liu's solemn look, I asked puzzledly: "Brother Liu, I think it's normal, there are officers and soldiers outside to protect the post station, there are many officers and soldiers and errand soldiers inside, is there any danger?"

"Young master, I don't see anything wrong, I just feel weird, this post station doesn't give me a very good feeling," Lao Liu said this, I also remembered a little wrong, how can such a big post station be all men, a 'woman' people don't see it, even if it is not worthy of 'female' people here, the general post station has the families of the soldiers of the post station doing chores, and there is not a 'female' person in this post station

"Brother Liu, when you say this, I also think about it, it's a little difficult to deal with, you found that there are no 'women' in this post station, and these soldiers and miscellaneous servants are between twenty and thirty years old, as far as I know, the average soldier and miscellaneous soldier in the post station are either old or young, and there are very few people who come to do this in their right years."

"Yes, young master, I'm also thinking about it, the post guards at this post station are all so 'fine', they are all about the same age, and they are also very 'fine', I didn't think of a lot, but I felt a little strange and uneasy, "Lao Liu's feeling is an instinct, when people are in a dangerous environment, there will be a feeling, this feeling is not shared by everyone, only extremely sensitive people can feel it, I don't feel the danger, and it is Lao Liu's reminder that I found the abnormality."

"That's it, Brother Liu, it seems that this post station is a bit abnormal, we can't sit and wait here, or we should strike first, for the safety of Lord Zhang, in order to be able to reach Xuanfu smoothly and negotiate with the 'Meng' ancients as soon as possible, we must find out what is wrong tonight, whether it is really dangerous or not, we can't be careless, I will go to Lord Zhang and say, you two find an excuse to go around the post station and see how to notify the three tigers and me without alarming each other." 'Brother Wei, don't say it now, so as not to startle the snake and let the other party find out."

"Okay, young master, let's go down first, pretend to find something, look around, and young master, with your cooperation, we will play a play."

"Why don't I understand what kind of play Brother Liu plays," I looked at Lao Liu suspiciously and said

"Young Master, if you want to check around, you have to give us a reason to go out, or we will definitely be suspicious of them if we walk around by ourselves, so I want Young Master, you to act with us, just to fool them and 'get' them to go out later, Young Master, you will scold us upstairs and let us find you something, so that we can have a chance to move around, Young Master, the bigger the trouble, the better."

"Okay, then you two go down first, let's start in a moment."

Lao Liu and his son left the room, according to our predetermined plan, to the hall below, I calculated the next time, after the time of a cup of tea passed, I opened the room 'door', stood in the corridor, and shouted below: "Butler, where is the housekeeper dead, get out of here."

Their father and son also pretended not to hear, and continued to sit down to drink water and chat, so as to make people think that they were snubbing me, which is also the reason why I was angry, I saw that their father and son did not speak, so they came to the house, picked up Lao Liu's luggage, looked at the table where their father and son were sitting and threw it over

The luggage fluttered and fell on the table where the father and son were sitting, knocking over the teapot and bowl to the ground, and the tea splashed on both father and son, and they stood up and looked up at me in annoyance

"What do you see, the dog slave usually spoils you, I called you just now, didn't you hear, Lao Tzu is now Qin, you should be careful, if you are in a hurry, I will tell my teacher to cut you off and feed the dog."

As soon as I finished speaking, Zhang Juzheng's room 'door' opened, Zhang Juzheng walked out in civilian clothes and asked: ", Lan Yunjie, why are you yelling here, why are you yelling so late, you still haven't rested, and you have to hurry tomorrow."

"Teacher, my two minions are not serving me well, I am hiding below to drink tea, I came out to call them disobedient, teacher, you said they should be scolded"

"Okay, okay, Lan Yunjie, you are also an official of the imperial court, a person with status, so like a subordinate, you know what you need to order, hurry up and order, come to my house after the order," Zhang Juzheng finished speaking, didn't bother me anymore, I turned around and walked to my room, at this time, there were more than a dozen people in the hall to watch the excitement, half of them were our attendants, and they were still waiting below, and half of them were the post guards of the post station

After Zhang Juzheng's mixing, the performance of this play became even more 'realistic', and I said to the old Liu father and son below: "For the sake of my teacher, Lord Zhang, I will let you go today, but you two are not allowed to sleep tonight, just stay in the hall below, now hurry up and find me water for jujube wood boiling, even my habits have forgotten the damn slave."

After saying that, I also turned around and walked to Zhang Juzheng's house, Zhang Juzheng saw me come in and said: "Lan Yunjie, what's wrong with you tonight, you are so out of shape, guarding so many people and insulting your subordinates, this is a loss of your status, and your subordinates have something wrong with them, you can teach them at home, you can't say in front of the public, they all have self-esteem, and they are also people, if you really provoke them, they will be by your side for a long time, you can take your life at any time, don't be reckless in the future, you will also be a member of the court, you can't do this."

"The teacher's teachings, the students keep them in mind, but these minions are too disagreeable now, do something, shout three or five times, and wait for me to return to the capital, I have to replace them," I pretended to be angry and said loudly, lest I not hear it outside, and whispered to Zhang Juzheng while talking: "Teacher, we were acting just now, there is a problem in this station."

Hearing me say this, Zhang Juzheng was stunned for a moment, but then returned to normal, and said loudly in the same tone as just now: "What slave is not a slave, you are a member of the imperial court, first of all, you must be kind to your family, how can you bully others, and then there is such a thing, the old man will expel you from the teacher's 'door', now don't say anything, copy this article for me, and don't sleep if you can't finish copying."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Juzheng beckoned me to sit on the chair and asked in a low voice: "Yun Jie, hurry up and tell me what is wrong with this station."

I then told Zhang Juzheng about the doubts I observed and why I was acting just now, Zhang Juzheng said after listening: "I also remembered what you said, I also lived in a post station when I went home before, and there were a lot of miscellaneous 'women' in each post station, this post station is really special, no matter what, be careful, for a while, your two family members will come back to tell us what they have found, we are making ideas, now the Beijing army is on the periphery of the post station, and the inside are all post station people and a few of our entourage and." I'm afraid the guards won't be able to compete with them, so don't mess with them, let's wait and see."
