In the iron workshop, Qian Jin, Cai Gonggong and Jin Duo carefully served the emperor, and only begged the ancestor to hurry back to the palace after eating. When Ge Yun received the order, he had already ordered his three hundred brocade guards to be neatly draped and drain the water around the iron workshop. After Ding Wei finished sending a message to Ge Yun, he immediately went to find the Wanping County Order.

If the emperor is fine, everyone will naturally be happy. If the emperor flashed his waist and twisted his feet, Qian Jin, as the owner of the iron workshop, would naturally be to blame, but his Wanping County Order was not much better, this was under his jurisdiction. Qian Jin instructed Ding Wei to only pass on the news after arriving at the county office, and didn't care about anything else, didn't ask anything, and let him figure out a way by himself.

The emperor is used to eating the food in the palace, and his mouth is very tricky, but today these mountain and wild dishes are to his appetite. In a few moments, the dishes were swept away by him. The wine was no longer afraid to let him drink. Last time I accompanied the emperor to eat a hot pot and a meal, Qian Jin was beaten with twenty canes, and now I think that my butt still hurts a little.

"Sure enough, it's right to come here to Qian Shi, I have long since lost the boredom I had when I first came." The emperor took a sip of the coarse tea prepared by Qian Jin, and was in a good mood.

"If Your Majesty has anything to worry about, you summon it, and Weichen will accompany you to the imperial study to talk and relieve your boredom, why bother you to come all the way here." Qian Jin bowed and said.

The Emperor was silent for a while, then sighed, "Since my father left, I have felt the burden on my shoulders have become heavier. In retrospect, Ya Father can calmly deal with every major event, if I have half of Ya Father's talent, why don't Chen Guo worry. A few days ago, I found all the pieces that my father had reviewed, hoping to learn the surface of my father's methods. After watching the concert for an afternoon today, I felt a little heavy in my head, so I came out to breathe. ”

"Your Majesty misses the old Shoufu, this is human nature, but you also have to take care of your body." Gonggong Cai persuaded beside him.

The emperor glanced at Gonggong Cai and did not answer. After a while, he slowly walked to the door, looked up to the sky and sighed: "Now my Da Chen is quite peaceful, but the barbarians in the north, the Jurchens in Liaodong are faintly troubled, and my uncle is peeping in the south. After the guest star was born, I always felt that a vicious wolf was watching from afar, and I often woke up in my dreams. ”

Gonggong Cai and Jin Duo listened to the emperor's complaint for the first time, and they didn't know how to answer for a while.

Qian Jin thought for a while and said with a smile: "Actually, Your Majesty doesn't need such a lot of pressure. Weichen sends you a word, this 'the sky is falling from a tall man on top'. State affairs are indeed cumbersome, and Weichen also knows a thing or two. But manpower is sometimes poor, Your Majesty only needs to learn to divide the matter at hand to the courtiers to do, you only need to learn to be like the tiger who pretends to be asleep, turn a blind eye, the courtiers are afraid, and they dare not do things without care. ”

"The sky is falling, and there is a tall man on top of it? This is a bit of a novelty. "When the emperor is the most taboo for others to know what he thinks, so Zao Wou-Ki rarely has a few words in his heart with people on weekdays. Confiding in his heart today, he seems to be a lot more relaxed.

If it is said that when he left Juyong Pass at night, Zao Wou-ki's appreciation for Qian Jin was only that he was a hero, and one person could drag a group of widows to death. After investigating the case of selling officials, he already felt that Qian Jin could solve his worries and difficulties. After sneaking out of the palace today, he led Gonggong Cai and others to walk aimlessly on the street, and unconsciously arrived at the courtyard where Qian entered. When he heard that Qian Jin was not at home, he was actually a little disappointed, and then he found the iron shop.

Perhaps, it is because he feels that he is the same age as Qian Jin, and he is more comfortable to speak, and he is not so suspicious of being a monarch and a minister; Or perhaps, it's because money rarely fights for anything. Every time he saw the courtiers fighting over the big matter of sesame mung beans, he felt a headache. Money never wants anything, money is earned by itself, and rewards are also won by merit.

That's a lot of positive energy!

Just as the emperor was deep in thought, a fast horse galloped towards the ironhouse, followed by more than a hundred out of breath officials, still holding torches in their hands. Qian Jin smiled knowingly, and said in his heart that the tall man who took care of this matter finally came.

After a few breaths, the green-robed official on the horse turned over and dismounted, went straight to the emperor, and fell to his knees with a plop...... Wanping County Order...... Liu Fucai is late! ”

Liu Fucai has passed the age of confusion, and his face is upright, but his complexion is slightly darker. When he heard the news that the emperor had arrived in Wanping County, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He had also heard that the emperor liked to sneak out of the palace, and he didn't want to be bumped into by him today. You can't hide, if something happens to the emperor on his own land, he can't get out.

The emperor did not answer. He glanced sideways at Qian Jin, and the look of disgust in his eyes couldn't be more clear.

Qian Jin hurriedly knelt on the ground with a thud, pointed to the sky and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen is absolutely ...... I definitely didn't leak out about your visit to Wanping County. ”

"That's it! I've been out for some time today, and it's time to go back to the palace. After the emperor finished speaking, he immediately strode towards the road from which he came.

Gonggong Cai sang loudly, "Drive back to the palace". Qian Jin glanced at Ge Yun, who was guarding nearby, and with a wave of his hand, the three hundred brocade guards followed the emperor in two columns.

Liu County Ling led more than 100 county officials to slowly follow behind Jinyi Wei. It's all here, so naturally I have to send the emperor back to the city to rest assured, and it's a credit to say it.

At this moment, there was a faint vibration on the ground. It was not obvious at first, but after a few moments, you could already feel the sand and gravel on the ground shaking slightly.

Liu Fucai immediately fell to the ground, put his ear to the ground and listened for a while, his face became more and more solemn. He ran to the emperor in a few steps and said, "Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, there is a large group of cavalry approaching this side." ”

"Could it be the cavalry of the 3,000 battalion?" Qian Jinqi said.

"Now is the season of the Mongol Tatars to fight the famine, and I am afraid that most of the people who come from Wechen are the Tatar cavalry who have stolen Gyeonggi. There is a flat river here, and only the mountain behind the winery mentioned by Qian Shi is higher. Just in case, Wechen implored His Majesty to take refuge in the mountains. ”

Qian Jin immediately asked: "Isn't the border pass guarded by a nine-sided town?" Why can the Tartars still steal in? What does it mean to fight the wasteland? ”

Qian Shi said that the Mongolian Tatars have not been fighting for a year or two, and they will sneak in every winter and spring, and they will leave after abusing some people and goods. Their cavalry came and went like the wind, and sometimes the border troops were too late to react, and it was not uncommon for them to slip in. It's too late to elaborate! Liu County Ling explained.

Qian Jin thought about it for a while, then called Ding Wei and Wu Ju over, and instructed: "Shopkeeper Ding, hurry up and bring my Qianhu token into the city to find Xu Shoufu, and tell him about the situation here, Shoufu has his own judgment." Shopkeeper Wu, quickly instructed all the craftsmen to remove the door panels that could be removed from the winery, and all the gourds that could hold wine were found and filled with alcohol, and all of them were transported to the back mountain, quickly! ”

Immediately afterwards, Qian Jin walked up to Zhao Wouji and said: "Your Majesty, the military situation is urgent, and it seems too late to return to Beijing, so it is better to listen to Liu County's order and hurry up the mountain to hide." There are 300 brocade guards under Weichen, more than 100 officials under Liu County, and more than 100 craftsmen in the winery who are willing to swear to protect His Majesty. ”

"Just listen to the money waiter!" The emperor's eyes sparkled with excitement at this time.

There is only one small road next to the winery, which leads to Wanping County in the south and Yongding Gate in the capital in the north, and there are many surrounding houses. It stands to reason that the Tartars were chosen to fight the wasteland in a territory far away from the capital to avoid encounters with the three major battalions of Gyeonggi. But why did this group of cavalry march towards Gyeonggi today?

More than a quarter of an hour later, the emperor had fled to the back mountain with Qian Jin and others. Qian Jin prayed silently in his heart, hoping that the cavalry coming would be 3,000 battalions.

I'm really afraid of something. Qian Jin took advantage of the moonlight to look at the path leading to Wanping County, and saw that a group of cavalry under the pressure of black pressure had approached, numbering about 8,000 people, and they could go down the mountain after only a cup of tea. Looking at the decorations of those cavalry, and the shouting words, it can be concluded that it was the Tartar cavalry.

On the mountain, all the torches have been extinguished, and all the people are silent. The crowd looked at these cavalrymen for a reason. When the time came, the officers and soldiers of the capital were dispatched, and although the Tatar cavalry numbered several thousand, it was not enough for the officers and soldiers to kill.

At this time, Zhao Wouji approached Qian Jin and said in a low voice: "Qian Shi, can I borrow your treasure knife to use?" ”

When Gonggong Cai heard this, his face turned pale with fright: "Your Majesty, you have a golden body, but you must not dare to do that dangerous thing." ”

Qian Jin thought about it for a while, and finally untied the Wind Thunder Knife he was wearing and handed it to Zhao Wouji. There are many people on the other side, and it is good if there is no encounter; If the invading enemy senses that the mountain is hiding from the people, these hundreds of people will not be enough to stuff their teeth. With the Wind Thunder Knife in hand, Zao Wou-Ki's safety is one more guarantee.

By this time, the Tatar cavalry had already arrived at the entrance of the winery. Several strong men got off their horses, approached the gate of the winery, and looked inside, and saw that there was no fire in the hearth in the winery, but there was no one. They returned to the queue to report a few words, and immediately a person dressed as a showman came out of the queue and ran to the door of the wine shop to investigate.

Qian Jin kept his body down to observe the movements of the Tatar cavalry, and watched the actions of those Tatar soldiers, and suddenly felt bad. These cavalry seem to have a purpose. Could it be that they already know that the Emperor is here? But how long has the emperor been in the workshop? The enemy's eyes and ears are so well-informed? It shouldn't be!

By the time he saw the figure of the showman clearly through the moonlight, he suddenly understood a little. Yes, this Xiucai is Chen Xiong, who once argued with him.

Speaking of which, Qian Jin and Chen Xiong have only met a few times. On the day of the lawsuit, Chen Xiong threatened to look good at the gate of Shuntian Mansion. Later, Qian Jin saw him once at the Yangmei Poetry Conference, and he thought that he had let go of his hatred. I never thought that in order to take revenge, he actually brought the Mongolian cavalry here. Could it be Princess Jing's last move?

Qian Jin glanced sideways at Zao Wou-ki, and his heart was full of apologies: the emperor happened to be affected this time.

Chen Xiong saw that there was no one in the winery and there was no place to vent his anger, so he found a torch and lit the firewood pile next to the winery. This winery was originally an estate that Ding Wei bought from the previous shopkeeper, and it has been some years. Those wooden doorways and doorposts were lit when they saw the open flames. In a short time, a fire burned all around the brewery, and the light of the fire reflected the surrounding scene at a glance.

Qian Jin looked at Chen Xiong's distorted face and scolded in a low voice: "His grandmother's, this product is planning to cut off my financial route." ”
