Chapter Seventy-Nine: Another Ring

After finishing speaking, his left foot stomped heavily on the ground, and it was already coupled with the dark energy in Baji Boxing, and the thick green bricks on the ground suddenly broke a few pieces, and there were so many things today, Jiang Feng didn't want to stay in Liu's Mansion longer, and he didn't pay attention to Bachelor Liu, who was already stunned over there (it is estimated that no one in the Ming Dynasty had yet a non-grade Jinyi Wei who dared to be so rampant in the Hanlin Bachelor's Mansion to flirt with his relatives).

Holding Miss Liu's shoulders with both hands, he said with a smile:

"Liu Zheng, wait for me at home, wait for me to marry you."

Liu Fangrui blushed and lowered her head and didn't dare to speak, Jiang Feng walked to the house by himself, took the wine jug and dagger, and strode out, the father and daughter of the Liu family were still there and did not come to their senses.

Jiang Feng opened the door by himself and walked out, Liu Shunhua reacted at this time, and was just about to ignore Sven's angry scolding, when he suddenly saw his daughter next to him looking at the direction Jiang Feng left with a fascination on her face, and her heart couldn't help but tremble, and she suddenly remembered that her wife, who died early because of poverty and illness, could not enjoy today's glory and wealth like herself. Even this daughter is not taken care of, and she has grown to the age she is now slim.

Bachelor Liu vaguely saw the shadow of his deceased wife on his daughter's body, and his heart, which was still full of anger just now, suddenly softened, and he didn't speak, just sighed and walked towards the backyard.

In the winter of the fifth year of Jiajing, the Hanlin attendant spoke about Liu Shangbiao, saying that the eunuch Zhang Yong was familiar with military affairs since the beginning of the first emperor Zhengde year, loyal and courageous, and should not be idle. Admiral Shenji Battalion and 12 Regiment Battalion Soldiers and Horses; for the Qianqing Palace; Thirty-six stones of rice per year.

The old mansion of the Marquis of Changning in the west of Beijing, the Marquis of Changning is the descendant of the founding father Tang He, Tang Siqing, he is considered to be the nobles who gave a lot of care when the emperor entered Beijing, so now it is not the shabby appearance of the past, but a magnificent mansion closer to the imperial city.

Since the owner is gone, this place is not so beautiful as it was back then, it has been deserted for a long time, but today it is lively, before the half-old red paint gate, although it is said that there are only a few families of cars and horses, but the cars and horses of these families are already filled with the entire street.

The size of the people who live in Xicheng is official, and naturally there are some shelves and faces, but at this time, no one came here to find anything boring, the three teams of people in the street, the youngest is also an earl, the hereditary Qingtian Bo Liu family, and the largest is the side branch of the Xu family of the Duke of Wei in Beijing.

I can see that the carriages and horses of the Xu family and the Liu family all left after the master came out, and the last one to leave was not like the people in front of him in a sedan chair, and he got on the horse directly in light armor, this person was tall and thin, with a big red face, an extremely powerful appearance, and he looked like he was in his twenties, and he was surrounded by some captains in armor, all dressed in brocade clothes,

Standing at the door was a middle-aged man in his forties, although he seemed to be pampered, but his actions seemed to be out of order, extremely cramped, and he sent the red-faced young military attaché, who wanted to give it up, but he didn't know what words to use to greet him for a while.

The military attache looked amused, but he was quite kind, and said in a deep voice:

"Second Brother Zhang doesn't have to be so polite, a certain family just came to meet the Admiral, and the demeanor is still the same, so I will leave."

With a slight arch of his hand on the horse, his legs urged the horses under his crotch to kick the dust away, and the heavily armed knights of the brocade guards around him were closely guarded on the side, leaving smoke and dust all the way.

The middle-aged man known as Second Brother Zhang over there seemed to have just reacted, made a big snort, and said:

"Congratulations to the commander Lu ......"

The person has long been far away, in the courtyard behind this Second Brother Zhang, there is a person standing, looking at the clumsy performance of Second Brother Zhang at the door, shaking his head with a wry smile, and suddenly a person behind him hurriedly ran over and called him there:

"Uncle, the Governor told you to come in."

If Jiang Feng was here, he would definitely be surprised to see that the person standing in the courtyard was Xu Baihu from Dongchang, and the one who came to greet him was Xu Quan, the stall leader.

Xu Baihu let out an 'oh', nodded and turned around, and instructed Xu Quan to say:

"Wait for the second master to come in, lead him to the wing room to drink tea, or go to the Huifeng Building to taste the food, I guess the governor has something to say to me."

Xu Quan's face was full of respect, and he nodded in agreement, but he saw Second Brother Zhang, who was walking inside, muttering in a low voice, 'Bag and goods', but his face was replaced with a happy expression, shouting there:

"Second master, don't be busy entering the house, at noon today, the little one will take you to Nancheng to play, this is not your Jiangxi!"

When the Marquis of Changning was not developed in the past, there was no floating wealth at home, so the mansion was also quite old and narrow, but it was better to be in good condition, and in the middle of winter, at this time, the narrow room seemed much warmer, in the bedroom of the original Hou Ye, an old man in his sixties was sitting cross-legged on the kang, wearing a long robe.

As soon as Xu Baihu walked into the house, the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the house was very large, and he suddenly sweated on his forehead, wiped it casually, and then knelt down in front of the kang, respectfully preparing to make a big salute.

"Okay, okay, since our family returned to Jingshi, you have to kowtow every time, and you don't need these false courtesies."

The voice is full of old age, but the most noticeable thing in the voice is the sharpness, faintly feminine sharpness, this kind of voice can only be possessed by one kind of person, that is, the eunuch.

The old man's face was pale, and there was a faint snow color on his eyebrows, although his face was pale and beardless, but there were no feminine features on that face, but a rather powerful appearance.

He simply tied his hair, leaned on the kang table and squinted his eyes, as if he was drowsy from the heat around him, but the words he said were extremely clear, Xu Baihu was already standing respectfully on the side, and his originally gloomy face was full of heartfelt obedience at this time, and asked carefully:

"Duke, is this mansion comfortable, in a hurry, I can only find this place, and the villain is already looking for it below....."

The old man laughed softly and said:

"I, Zhang Yong, followed the first emperor to patrol the border, and when I was in Datong to supervise the army, I also slept in the open air, and sure enough, once I enjoyed it, I couldn't bear the hardships, it's very good here, very good, Xiao Xu, what do you think of Lu Bing, the commander of the Jinyi Guard just now?"

It turned out that the old man on the kang was Zhang Yong, who had been reactivated, and when he heard the question, Xu Baihu thought for a while, and replied:

"Lu Bing is the old man of the current saint when he was in the hidden mansion, and he is quite cautious, but now he is the acting commander, and the villain still thinks it is too early."

Zhang Yong chuckled there and said:

"According to our family, his official promotion is still slow, and I am afraid that he will soar in the future, Xiao Xu, you can make friends with him a lot, it will be of great help to you in the future!"

As soon as he heard this, Xu Baihu over there hurriedly argued and said:

"Don't talk like that, the villain's life is given by the governor, and besides, the grace of the saint this time, let the governor regain control of the imperial horse supervisor and the twelve regimental battalions, the villain has the shade of your big tree to serve well, and go to others to do something."

What is the concept of the Admiral's Palm Seal and the Admiral of the Twelve Regiments and Battalions? Later generations have commented: 'The Imperial Horse Supervisor is the Imperial Stable Soldier Talisman and other items, which are related to the Ministry of War. Recently, the ministers have changed the rank of the horse to come out, such as the governor and Sima Zhongcheng'.

If you make an analogy with the modern system, that is, the commander-in-chief of the Central Guard Brigade and the Capital Garrison is in control, and all the military forces around the entire Beijing Division, except for the Jinyi Guard, are under Zhang Yong's control. In fact, the Imperial Horse Supervisor also has to manage the pasture and the imperial village, run the imperial store, and manage the finances with the households.

Hearing Xu Baihu's words, Zhang Yongxu pointed at Xu Baihu and nodded, and said with a smile there:

"Xiao Xu, who killed the enemy in the past, is now a lot more slippery, and he can speak, and he can speak, and he has a breath."

Xu Baihu smiled awkwardly, Zhang Yong's expression gradually fell, and he said slowly:

"You also know in your heart that the saint uses me, it's not that our family is a queenless eunuch, and the saint can rest assured with a sword and gun, it's better than those benevolent and moral sour people......"

Zhang Yong seemed to be immersed in his memories, and the hundreds of households on the side were also interested and did not bother, listening to the old man talking to himself there:

"How about the monstrous power, Liu Jin was made the emperor of the land, or was cut by a thousand knives, our family knows that he won't live long, maybe it's because he is old, and now he always thinks of what happened more than ten years ago, and remembers the time when he was surrounded by barbarians on the patrol outside the Saiwai, and when the hundred households died, he told me to take care of his son......

The voice slowly lowered, the old man stared at the incense on the kang table, completely caught up in the memory, and the middle finger of his left hand subconsciously knocked on the tabletop, with a black iron ring on it.

It's the same as the one in Jiang Feng's hand.
