At this time, He Hao already knew that the situation was very bad.

Of course, he also thought about struggling, such as gathering his subordinates to refuse the Beijing camp to enter the city, and even mutinied. But he soon gave up trying, and even found the idea a little ridiculous.

Those generals who are not deeply involved are good officials for a long time, and I am afraid that they are not willing to follow He Haoyu to break the net. The most reluctant to resist are still many sergeants, who are led by the military salary and grain allocated by the imperial court, and they are still willing to listen to He Hao's orders at this time, completely because He Hao is an official of the imperial court; Once He Hao becomes a sinner in the court, will everyone still listen to him? Today, the saint does have a lot of means, and it is not easy to make the guard and everyone call him a brother.

The sergeant who was brought to the house by He Hao to do private work also said that in the past, if a military household wanted to marry a common woman, even the tenant did not want to marry a daughter. But this year he married a daughter-in-law who had a land and a house, and now he is called the one who eats the emperor's grain in the mouth of the matchmaker; If he does a good job in the army or even has military merits, he will get rid of the military in the future, and he can also ask the government to arrange an errand to manage him until he is old. People in the world are always so knowledgeable about current affairs, even if they are illiterate farmers.

He Hao really didn't expect that there would be such a big battle in the imperial court, and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department also came. Shangshu Xue Yan came to Daning, why?

He didn't know how much of a crime he had to punish for smuggling goods to the Mongols, but thinking about the nervousness of Cao Yi, the commander of Liaodong at the beginning, he estimated that things were not light, and at least he had to lose his official position and be dismissed.

When the matter came to an end, He Hao found that he was a character who said everything in Daning, and he had no choice but to sit and wait.

He stood at the door of the house, looking at the huge courtyard of his house and the scene of the new renovation that had only been renovated with a lot of money before winter, and his heart was full of mixed feelings for a while.

and the newly bought house in the south of the city, he no longer went, because the little woman of the salt merchant left Daning City. The whole family of the salt merchant fled, but where could they go?

When the little woman left, she didn't even leave a goodbye letter to He Hao, which was really cool.

He Hao suddenly thought of the days ahead, and he panicked again. He immediately summoned the maid and went to bring the youngest concubine of his family into the bedroom.

After a while, the concubine entered the house, she bowed shortly, and asked in a local accent: "What is the matter that the master called the slave family in such a hurry?" ”

This little concubine turned out to be a kiln sister, not long ago He Hao fell in love with her and bought it back. He was no longer short of money at that time, and he didn't care what the concubine did, as long as he had a good look.

He Hao said straightly: "I'm going out of the courtyard, you served me once today, and you served comfortably." ”

The concubine was very happy to hear this, and immediately snuggled up, leaned on He Hao and said with a smile: "If the slave family can't wait for the master comfortably, no one in this house can satisfy the master." The men who had that incident with the slave family before praised the slave family, saying that the slave family was ...... good."

He Hao suddenly felt bored, and he didn't pay attention to what she was talking about. But when someone had already called, he quickly untied his clothes with her. She really worked hard, and in order to please He Hao, she even said some unbearable words.

After a long time, He Hao lay on his back on the kang without saying a word. He suddenly missed the little woman, the woman of the salt merchant who had not been separated for a long time.

The little woman has a lot of affection with him, but He Hao also knows it, but it's all for the sake of good, once the disaster comes, run very fast. Now, if he can't tell the difference, it would be too stupid.

But He Hao still misses her warmth. For a while, the sad mood inexplicably shrouded General He's heart.

Not long after he left the bedroom, a servant came to report that he had a visitor. He Hao asked who the visitor was, and the servant handed over the post, which turned out to be Wang Qianzong of Shenyang Zhongwei.

Wang Qian has been on an errand in Daning City for several years, and he is a general who followed He Hao from the capital of Liaodong. is regarded as his own brother, He Hao has no reason not to see.

The two met in the living room, and the slave served tea, and Wang Qian carefully said some flattering words. Usually many generals are like this, and He Hao is very accustomed to this kind of conversation.

Gradually, Mr. Wang Qian finally lowered his voice and talked about the recent situation. If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, He Hao knows that Wang Qian always has something to do, so he will make a special trip to visit.

"Does Commander Cao Du have any letters?" Mr. Wang Qian asked cautiously.

He Hao was silent for a while, changed his usual style, and suddenly sighed.

Wang Qian looked at him nervously: "What's wrong?" ”

He Hao pondered for a moment, turned his head to look at Mr. Wang Qian, and then he said earnestly: "It's all this time, my own brother, I will give you the bottom, so that you can be prepared." ”

Wang Qian didn't say anything, and listened attentively.

He Hao paused and continued: "As early as the end of last year, Cao Duenvoy asked me to stop trading. I didn't want to cut off my brothers' financial resources, so I finally compromised and changed my ways. As you know, I told the brothers, not to do business directly with the Uliangha, but to let the salt merchant we know act as an intermediary. I have failed Cao Du's cultivation ......"

Mr. Wang Qian suddenly stood up from the chair, turned around and walked out the door.

"Where are you going, what are you doing? I'm not done yet! He Hao looked at Wang Qianzong's actions in surprise. But Wang Qian didn't say a word, and he lifted the curtain and went out without looking back.

He Hao was stunned on the chair, and said to himself with a stunned face: "What? ”

…… Wang Qian went out of Hefu, and when he got home, he went into the bedroom, like a robber entering the house, rummaging for a while, and after a while, the house was in a mess. He changed his clothes, pulled out a thick fur coat, and grabbed some valuable soft stuff.

Then he went into the kitchen and poured the food made from rice and noodles, whether it was bread or steamed buns, into the package. Then he went straight to the stable, jumped a fat horse, and hurried away.

Wang Qianzong's movements were very neat, and it was estimated that it took less than a stick of incense to go out from home to out.

Recently, the civil and military officials of Daning City were panicked, but no one came forward to arrange the situation, and there was no reason for the city to be under martial law, so the situation at the city gate was the same as usual. It's still very simple to go out of the city in broad daylight, not to mention that Wang Qian is always an official.

After Wang Qian went out of the city, he ran north along the frozen Laoha River, riding a horse.

The towers of Daning City gradually drifted away, and they were slowly out of sight.

The territory under the jurisdiction of the original Daning Dusi was full of mountains, but there was a large flat area near Daning City. Not long after Wang Qian left the city, he looked at the open snow around him, and saw that the sky was cold and there were no people. The lonely scene made him breathe a sigh of relief at this time, and his previous nervous state of mind was also relaxed a lot.

The horses' hooves make a rapid and special sound when they step on the snow.

"Bang!" The mount suddenly bumped into the sound, and then the horse neighed, Wang Qian felt that his body was light, and then there was a loud noise in his ears, and his body fell heavily in the snow, and his heart was full of meat and vegetables.

He struggled, and at once he desperately got up, limping back to the fallen horse despite the pain.

At this time, on both sides of the roadside, in the silver-covered forest, a few men with weapons walked out, and the "crunch" sound of the bowstring was tight, and several people aimed their bows and arrows at Wang Qianzong.

A voice said: "Wang Qian, don't toss, our rope is leaning against the trunk of the tree, and your mount's legs are broken." ”

There is no doubt that there is a lot of truth in this statement. Mr. Wang Qian calmed down a little, slowed down, turned his head and asked, "Who are you?" Why do you harm me......"

No one answered him, but Mr. Wang Qian immediately shut up. When he turned his head, he saw a familiar person, the Mongol who had met him last night.

The Mongolian was tied up by five flowers, and he was looking at Wang Qianzong speechlessly. The two looked at each other and were speechless.

Wang Qian could no longer escape, nor could he speak, so he stood in place, watching the men with weapons come together.

The man who spoke on the side of the road just now said: "Brothers, hard work, this ice and snow, go back to the city." ”

The crowd answered, "Order!" ”

Wang Qian always listened to them and understood that these people were all people in the army. Just now, the man said again: "Second brother, I know that you have been thinking about the girl in the cloak alley all day long." Well, there's hope for it again. ”

Several people laughed and turned their heads to look at the "second child". The man who was called the second child was wearing a hat and burying his head in his head, and he didn't respond, as if he was afraid of being seen in the face, and he was a little sneaky.

Wang Qian always had a gut feeling that that house had something to do with today's events. But Mr. Wang had lost his interest in inquiry, because he understood that it was all over.

…… The next day, the army from the Beijing division entered the city, and the cavalry continued to march through the city gate without any waves. In addition to the onlookers, the officials who came to greet them were sparse and unruly, as if no one had arranged a ceremony to greet them.

He Hao, the guard of Daning City, didn't leave the house at all today, so he naturally didn't pay attention to the etiquette.

In a few moments, the house slave opened the curtain and came in. When the house slave saw He Hao, he was stunned. At this time, He Hao was wearing a red official robe and a black veil, and he was very neatly dressed, and he was sitting upright on a chair in the middle hall. The official seal was also placed neatly on a piece of silk.

"Old, sir." The house slave said not very neatly, "The people of the Jinyi Guard came to the door, and the villains did not dare to stop them, and they had already entered the courtyard." ”

He Hao nodded: "Go down." ”

The house slave bowed, looked at him again, and exited the nave.

After a while, sure enough, a group of men in armor rushed into the middle hall, and then a military general came in. The military general glanced at He Hao and said, "Look at General He, he knows it, don't bother to speak, let's go." ”

The two sergeants walked up with iron chains, and just now the military general raised his hand again and said, "No need, please ask General He to go to the Chinese army." We still have a lot of things to ask General He, and it's best to be able to say it well. ”

The sergeant bowed, "Yes." ”

He Hao picked up the official seal, stood up and walked to the door. He strode out the door, turned his head left and right to look at the snow in the courtyard, and sighed with a dejected sigh.

The snow in Daning City is particularly heavy today.
