Chapter 36: Temptation

After taking Yang Chen and his party into Guancheng, he directly took them to the county town with the highest specifications and the only government-run pavilion, and immediately asked someone to prepare a banquet to entertain the guests who came from afar.

Walking into this rather familiar pavilion, Yang Chen didn't have the heart to look back on the years he had spent here, but carefully scanned the surroundings, looking for clues to the noble person who had heard that he had arrived at the Yatou Pass. However, after a traceless glance, there were no relevant clues at all, not to mention this noble man and his entourage, there were not even other official guests staying here.

In fact, after thinking about it carefully, Yang Chen accepted such a result. After all, with that person's identity and temperament, most of them were impatient to stay and live in the government-run pavilion. Maybe he is having a good time in the only one in this remote county at this time.

Moreover, if that noble man really stayed here, he was afraid that he would not dare to take such a steppe guest whose origin was still unclear here as Lei Ming, wouldn't he be afraid that something would go wrong? Even if he didn't know that there was such a person, the pavilion would never dare to entertain them. Thinking of this, he immediately collected his thoughts, and no longer looked left and right, for fear of arousing the suspicion of the soldiers on the side.

Soon after they sat down, the wine and food were continuously delivered to everyone like flowing water, and Lei Ming, who was in the main position, frequently toasted to Qinggel and the others, and after watching the people of Ganmeng, including Yang Chen and Ding Yueqian in disguise, all drink proudly until the glass was dry, he became more and more happy.

Halfway drunk, Lei Ming asked about the specific situation of the Tasu Department and the specific plans of the Tatars to use troops on the Great Wall. Yang Chen could see that he was making a further test, as long as there was a slight flaw in their answers, Lei Qian would immediately attack, take everyone down one by one, and punish them as spies. I can't see that this rough-looking military attache is still quite thoughtful.

However, this kind of thing is naturally impossible to ask if it is indeed from the grassland, and it is indeed Qinggel from the Tasu Department. In the face of one question after another, he answered without the slightest flaw, and even deliberately said some things about the Tatar military arrangements that the Ming border army was not very clear about, which made Lei Ming and others believe in the identities of these people more and more.

In this way, the atmosphere at the banquet becomes more and more harmonious. Until Lei Ming suddenly asked: "Then the little prince is really so easy to let you go to me Daming?" After that, the faces of Qingle and Tana on the other side sank, and the latter's eyes were even redder, and it seemed that he was about to cry.

Lei Ming also felt the change in their mood, but pretended not to know, and just continued to ask, "What, isn't this question easy to answer?" ”

"General Lei, do you know how many of us were when we came out of the tribe? There were 120 of them, but when they actually arrived, there were only 23 left. The others have already died under the pursuit of Boyan's guards to cover us. Tana suddenly stood up and said with a rather sad and angry voice: "Actually, not only that, but my entire Tasu Division, I'm afraid there are only us as individuals......

"This ...... Why did Miss Tana say that? Lei Ming- suddenly asked with some emotion.

"Because my father refused to send troops according to Boyan's orders, he prepared with other tribes to invade your Ming Kingdom...... And after trying to persuade us to no avail, they sent us to report the news. This is a complete betrayal of the Great Khan of Boyan, and naturally this result will be in exchange......" Tana said as she took the full bowl of liquor in front of her, tilted her head, and poured it all into her mouth, drinking it all, and at the same time two lines of tears rolled down her cheeks.

The atmosphere at the banquet was condensed, and the other Mongolian warriors also showed sadness and indignation on their faces after seeing Tana speak so emotionally, and even Yang Chen and Ding Yueqian felt bursts of anger and hatred for the enemy. As for the Ming army generals who accompanied him, although he couldn't empathize, he couldn't laugh anymore, so he could only toast a few glasses of wine to the Mongolian people around him comfortingly.

Lei Ming was stunned for a while, and then automatically raised his glass: "It's this official Meng Lang who brought up Miss Tana's sadness, and hereby punishes himself with three cups as reparation." As he spoke, he quickly drank three glasses of wine.

Only then did Tana put away her sadness: "General Lei doesn't have to make amends, it's also true. I say this only to show you the determination of our people. Boyan and they killed my people, this enmity is no longer shared, and we will never join forces with them again. If they dare to kill at this time, these warriors and I will definitely be the first to meet the enemy! ”

As she spoke, she raised her wine glass again and shouted in Mongolian: "For the sake of Tasubu, fight to the death!" ”

"For the sake of Tasubu, fight to the death!" The other Mongolian warriors also raised their glasses and shouted, of course, there were also two of them, Yang Chen and Ding Yueqian were just shouting indiscriminately, not knowing what they were saying. However, those around him are all soldiers of the Ming army, so it is naturally impossible to see any flaws.

Under such a conversation, Lei Ming was a little less suspicious of them, and the next topic was naturally more relaxed, most of them were Lei Qianzong's official wishes, saying that once what they reported was true, they would definitely report it truthfully, and the court would inevitably reward them well. But just listen to these words, everyone knows that he is a small Qianzong, not to mention the decision of the imperial court, even the Lord Yang Yiqing, who is not far away, can't influence it.

In a fairly harmonious atmosphere, this reception banquet finally came to an end, and many people were a little drunk, and they all had vain steps. However, Yang Chen, a fake Mongolian person, actually drank a lot more than ordinary Mongolian people, and at this time, except for a little dizziness, there was nothing wrong with anything else. And Qingle, as the nominal leader of this group of people, was drunk by Lei Ming and his subordinates, and at this time he was already so drunk that he had to rely on people to help him walk.

Just when Yang Chen thought that the next step was to send them to the guest room at the back to rest, suddenly a military man with concave eyes and a nose and a Mongolian blood at first glance flashed in front of everyone who was walking out of the hall, and his eyes were fixed on the faces of Tana and Qinggele for a moment.

Seeing his move, Yang Chen's heart suddenly moved, and he quickly understood. This thunder is really far more cautious and cautious than it was reflected before, and it actually laid out such a backhand.

Obviously, he still had doubts about the identities of his people, and specially found such a Mongolian person who might have crossed paths with the Tasu Department to check. If he could recognize Tana's identity, it would be easy to say, but if he could see that these people were fakes, then this cadre, who was already drunk and crooked, could only be captured, and he could not even use the strength to resist.

Fortunately, Yang Yiqing was prepared early in the morning, at least the two people led by him were genuine people from the Tasu Department! It was not until this moment that Yang Chen had to admire Lord Yang Yiqing's foresight, if he casually let a few Mongolian soldiers in the Datong garrison pretend to be from the Tasu Division, I am afraid that there would really be some flaws.

Sure enough, after carefully looking at Qingle and them a few times, the soldier stepped forward with some excitement, bent down and stroked his chest and saluted Tana, who also looked surprised: "Don't beg, it's really you who came to close your head......"

"...... are you" Tana looked at the person in front of her with some confusion, obviously unable to remember his identity.

The other party didn't care, and hurriedly told his origin in Mongolian dialect, but it was a member of the Tasu tribe who was captured by the Ming Dynasty when he invaded the Central Plains in the early years. As a member of his own tribe, it was naturally impossible for him to forget his own tribe's beggars, especially the beautiful appearance of Tana, who was as beautiful as a pearl.

Tana then understood, and spoke to him again. Seeing the two of them talking so cordially, the last doubts of Lei Ming and the other Mengren were dispelled, and they were finally convinced that these Mengren had really come to show the warning message. In this way, in the next period of time, the defenders will have to fight up one hundred and twenty percent to deal with the strong Mongolian enemy that may be killed at any time.

Then, everyone was led by the pavilion staff to the guest room in the backyard to rest. The conditions here are naturally not very good, and there are no courtyards with separate courtyards, and some are just rooms connected to each other.

At that moment, there were several soldiers who helped some of the already drunk Mongolian warriors to their respective rooms, and as for Tana, as the most noble of these people, of course, she was assigned an upper room.

But just as she was walking towards that side with all her thoughts, she suddenly slipped under her feet, and her body fell to the side. It turned out that although she didn't drink much, because of her sadness, this wine still came to her head. As the so-called alcohol is sad, it is often the easiest to get drunk.

Just when she thought that she was going to fall hard and make a big fool, a strong and strong arm suddenly reached out from the side, grabbed the body that was about to overturn, and then a soft voice sounded in her ears: "Be careful." It was Yang Chen who rushed forward in time to rescue her when he saw that she was about to fall.

Tana's heart widened at first, and then her face turned red. Although the children on the grassland do not have as many rules as the Han family, being held by a man like this will make a daughter's family feel shy. I don't know if it's because of the fact that the alcohol is really rising, Tana at this moment actually feels a little weak, and she can't even rely on her own strength to stand firm again.

Yang Chen, who was supporting her entire body, obviously felt this, so he quickly helped her up, walked to the guest room in front of him, and whispered: "Miss Tana, let me send you back to the room to rest." ”

So, in full view of everyone, and in the envious eyes of many Mengren soldiers, our Lord Yang walked into her room with the beautiful Tasu Pearl......
