Outside the county town of Xuanyi, Duan Lang rode on a war horse with a smile in his eyes. Behind him, he leaned against the carriage, also enraged by the sight outside the carriage. Among the people who died tragically, there were also many children and women who did not have adults, and this behavior can be said to have angered Providence.

Gu Fan inspected Xiangtian and the others, and came to Duan Lang and Tangtai Mingyue. Gu Fan clenched his fists and said, "Qiyu Duan Shuai, most of the people who were brutally poisoned were injured by knives and guns. Judging by the wounds and knife marks, it is the standard blade. And many of them were killed by arrows, and all the arrows were made in the Great Xia Armor Forge. It can be concluded that the ~ suffered by this place should be a military robbery. ”

Tai Mingyue said, "Husband, Delong's favorite minister is Liu Shuguang in addition to Zhang Zhao, and later Zhang Zhao intercepted the military salary and was ordered to be killed by Delong, and Liu Shuguang came to the north to rebuild the northern camp. But a month ago, the Northern Shadow Secret Station had lost news of him. It seems that the prince of Deqing was guilty of his crimes and died tragically in the hands of Liu Shuguang. ”

Duan Lang's face was gloomy, and he couldn't wring out the water, and he snorted coldly and said, "Whether it is a mountain bandit or a soldier bandit, if he dares to slaughter civilians, even if he searches the entire Great Calendar Country, I will dig him out." It is simply an injustice of God for such people to remain in the world. ”

Duan Lang ordered people to dig several large pits in the soft soil outside the county town, and all men, women, children, and descendants of the royal family were buried outside the city. Originally, Duan Lang also wanted to have a good exchange with Prince Deqing and let him take the initiative to donate the royal treasure. Now it seems that he will not be able to fulfill his promise to the old Hanlin Wang Shidu. The last vestiges of the entire Zhao family's royal family were actually buried in their own hands. I'm afraid that Delong will also have to lay out for his own step under Jiuquan, and he will regret his death.

Xuanyun County had become dilapidated, and Duan Lang ordered to retreat five miles and camp on the spot. Tangtai Mingyue even asked Liu Xi and others to send scouts to look for clues within a radius of twenty miles around. Once the whereabouts of the other party were discovered, Duan Lang was ready to personally lead the forbidden military camp to exterminate the remnants of this unreasonable force. It's just that the scouts searched around, but they didn't find any valuable clues. It seems that he can only wait for Azhu to arrive, and look for clues little by little. Fortunately, Liu Shuguang will always leave clues with people and baggage.

The accident in Xuanyun County made Duan Lang's itinerary also change. Duan Lang had to wait until Azhu Zhoubo and them arrived, first, this royal wealth was crucial to the newly established Great Calendar Kingdom, and second, Liu Shuguang's atrocities angered Duan Lang. If you don't take advantage of the fact that the other party is not yet strong to eliminate it, in case Liu Shuguang uses the silver taels in his hand to find soldiers and horses to buy, this will also be a great hidden danger for the newly established Great Calendar Kingdom.

Duan Lang and the others did not go to other small counties, their status was special, and after they went, they would increase the burden on others. Besides, Duan Lang was not used to that feeling of hugging each other, so he simply camped in the wild and waited for Azhu to arrive. Anyway, they are all used to this kind of life, and it is not very far to go to the nearby county town to buy food, so they don't have to worry about living security.

Duan Lang didn't expect to wait like this, and waited for nearly twenty days before he saw a group of people and horses coming to their camp under the guidance of Da Fei. Duan Lang looked at the handsome flag that was raised, and it was actually Zhou Hu who personally led the troops.

Seeing that Duan Lang and the others were outside the camp, Zhou Hu and Azhu jumped off their horses. Zhou Hu stepped forward and knelt down on one knee and clenched his fists and said, "Minister Zhou Hu, please see Your Majesty!" ”

Duan Lang scolded with a wry smile, "I said that you kid has only been seen for a few days, so why don't you have a long memory." Didn't I say that above the court, you can call me Your Majesty. Out of the court, I am your handsome. ”

Zhou Hu looked at Duan Lang embarrassedly, "Then~ the last general will see Duan Shuai!" ”

"That's right, get up, don't be so polite. Ah Zhu, why didn't Uncle Zhou come? Duan Lang asked Ah Zhu.

Ah Zhu gave a simple salute, "Master, his old man is integrating secret stations with Seventh Uncle, and he can't get out of here for the time being." ”

Duan Lang nodded, "Well, with you and Zhou Hu here, it should be fine." How is it in the middle capital, everyone is okay? ”

"Duan Shuai, it's good over there, but with the order of Brother Jianshan, all the civil and military officials are about to become masons. By the way, Brother Jianshan is still waiting for your silver taels. Before coming, Brother Jianshan said that he must bring Yin Liang back, otherwise he will really not be able to open the pot. ”

At the mention of silver taels, Duan Lang's mood suddenly became heavy. Yutai Mingyue stepped forward and said, "Everyone has worked hard all the way, let the soldiers and horses rest on the spot, let's go into the camp and talk in detail." ”

Zhou Hu and the others did run all the way, and after receiving the order, they immediately ordered to rest in place. This time, Zhou Hu did not have many soldiers and horses, only more than 20,000 people. But with these 20,000 veterans on the battlefield, it is not a problem to deal with the remnants of Liu Shuguang.

When they came to the camp, Duan Lang and Mingyue told the situation in Xuanyu County in detail. Before coming, Ah Zhu also collected a lot of information, and the two parties corresponded, and it was basically confirmed that Liu Shuguang was responsible for this massacre. But to find his whereabouts, Ah Zhu must go to Xuanyi County in person.

Duan Lang pondered for a long time, looked at Zhou Hu and Ah Zhu's brothers and sisters, and said, "Zhou Hu, the matter of tracking down the remnants of Liu Shuguang will be handed over to your brothers and sisters." Brother Molli has been delayed here for too long, and Mingyue and I must send him back to Beiming as soon as possible. In addition, if there is any urgent news, it will be transmitted to Yushan Pass, and I will let Dafei run every two days. If you can't contact me, once you have any urgent military affairs, you can temporarily let Liu Xusheng arrange it. ”

Zhou Hu and Ah Zhu looked at Duan Lang strangely, and Ah Zhu asked suspiciously, "Duan Shuai, what do you mean ~ sent to Beiming?" And not sent to Yushan Pass? ”

Duan Lang laughed dryly, "As long as you two know about this, you don't need to inform Jianshan and them." Of course, I didn't go in vain, but asked my old man for grain, grass and silver. At least, you have to give me at least 10,000 horses. ”

Ah Zhu and Zhou Hu said almost at the same time, "No, you must not get out." ”

Zhou Hu then clenched his fists and said, "Such a big matter, we don't dare to make the decision, this matter must be reported to Lord Li and Lord Shangguan, and after they agree, they must also be accompanied by heavy troops." Otherwise, you and the military master will be simple, which will lose the prestige of a great country. ”

Duan Lang's eyes widened, "Did I let you call the shots?" It's only been a few days, and I really think of myself as a pampered official. I can tell you Zhou Hu, we are still the same as before, nothing has changed. I have already decided to go to Beiming, so I don't need to discuss it anymore. ”

"But~ your forbidden military camp only has 3,000 soldiers and horses, how can this work. If Duan Shuai insists on going, then he will send 10,000 troops to personally escort you. Zhou Hu said stubbornly.

When Duan Lang heard this, he immediately reprimanded dissatisfiedly, "The prince of Moli only brought four or five people, and he dared to come to Great Xia, where the war was still raging. No matter how worried about the safety of my 3,000 troops, I can't let people laugh at death. Okay, you hurry up and find out Liu Shuguang, this bastard, you don't have to worry about my affairs. If they ask about the mountain, you will say that I am patrolling the northern cities. ”

Seeing that Duan Lang had made up his mind, Zhou Hu knew that their brother and sister must be persuaded not to move. What's more, Yutai Mingyue stood aside and didn't speak, and it was inconvenient for Azhu to say anything. After all, Beiming is the homeland of Mingyue in Taitai, and if you talk too much, I'm afraid Mingyue will be unhappy in her heart. The two of them had no choice but to watch Duan Lang go his own way. However, Ah Zhu immediately divided more than 20 shadow artists and scouts, and asked them to go to Yushan Pass with Duan Lang. After arriving, a secret station was set up for Duan Lang's contact with the mainland.

Early the next morning, the soldiers divided into two routes and went all the way to Xuanzhen County, while Duan Lang and others went to Yushan Pass, the northernmost border pass of the Great Calendar Kingdom. It is not very far from Yushan Pass, and it only takes a few days to get there.

A few days later, when Duan Lang's guard of honor was still four or five miles away from Yushan Pass, Xue Bingtian, the new border general of Yushan Pass, who received the news, hurriedly lined up with officials of all sizes to greet him. This former subordinate of Fan Jiachang, because he chose Duan Lang in the Battle of Molan City, has now become a general guarding the territory.

Being able to serve as the general of Yushan Pass is simply a big pie falling from the sky for Xue Bingtian. Everyone knows that Duan Lang, Shangguan Xuanwu and Li Jianshan were the life-and-death friendship formed in Yushan Pass. Nowadays, the symbolic meaning of Yushan Pass is far greater than its actual meaning. What's more, the land of Beiming is still the maiden home of the emperor and queen Mingyue. Xue Bingtian knew that as long as he was an official for one term, he could be promoted. It is even said that when he returned to his hometown, he also had the capital to brag about. After all, most of the giants of the Great Calendar Kingdom were laid in Yushan Pass. Whether it is Liu Xusheng, the squire of the military department, or Cui Zhiliang, He Lianjia, and even the black-armored guard Zhan Yimo of the year, has now become a general with heavy troops. It can be said that Yushan Pass is simply the blessed land of the giants of the Great Calendar.

Duan Lang saw the sea of people who went out of the city to greet him from afar, and in desperation, he could only let Gu Fan play the honor guard of the Son of Heaven to the sky. In front of his own general, he can be as uninhibited as ever. But in front of the people, Duan Lang must at least correct the majesty of the emperor. Because in the minds of the people, he is now the sky of the Great Calendar Kingdom, and he wants to protect the people of the world with the power of the emperor.

As soon as the guard of honor of the Son of Heaven stopped, Xue Bingtian walked a few steps and knocked on the prime minister to greet him, "Weichen Xue Bingtian, lead the people of Yushanguan to welcome His Majesty the Emperor, long live, long live, long live!" Welcome to the queen, Chitose Chitose Chitose! After Xue Bingtian finished calling, everyone behind him fell to his knees.

Duan Lang whispered to Yutai Mingyue, "Did you hear that, I can live nine thousand years longer than you." If that were the case, I wouldn't have to die alone. ”

Tantai Mingyue pursed her lips and smiled, "Don't make trouble, I'm waiting for you." Now you're the emperor, don't make people laugh. ”

Duan Lang straightened his chest, in his memory, whether it was Emperor Yuning or Delong, they were all sick seedlings, but Zhang Ruming put on a sacrosanct appearance from time to time. Now Duan Lang, only pretending to learn Zhang Ruming, maybe he can still find a little bit of the feeling of an emperor.

"Get up, the folks in Yushanguan are no strangers to me, you don't have to be formal."

"Thank you, Lord Longne!" Xue Bingtian stood up excitedly.

The people outside the city also got up from the ground, and everyone had enthusiasm on their faces. It was Duan Lang who led five hundred black-armored guards to save the people of Yushanguan from the disaster of war. Who would have thought that a few years later, the young man who once desperately blocked the city gate would actually become the founding king.

Duan Lang waved to Yutai Mingyue, and in the cheers of the people, Duan Lang was welcomed into the city gate. Looking up, Yushan Pass is no different from that year. Because it did not suffer from the disaster of war, the population of Yushanguan has increased a lot compared with that year. Even the people of the inland cities, in order to avoid the war, many people also moved to Yushan Pass.

In the palace, Xue Bingtian took a group of officials to see him again. After Duan Lang briefly greeted everyone, he asked everyone to retreat. If it is an ordinary person here, he must pick up the wind and wash the dust. But when the emperor and queen arrived, Xue Bingtian didn't dare to hold a banquet before receiving the will.

Everyone in the palace retreated, and only Xue Bingtian stood cautiously below. Duan Lang looked at Xue Bingtian's detention and smiled slightly.

"Xue Bingtian, you are also a person who participated in the battle of Melan City, so we don't have to be so restrained between our monarchs and ministers. How is it, how do you feel after coming to Yushanguan? ”

When Xue Bingtian heard this, he hurriedly bowed down and replied, "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen has only been here for less than a month. Fortunately, Yushanguan did not suffer from the war, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. When the minister took over, he did not encounter any resistance or opposition. Wechen believes that it will not be long before this place will be more prosperous. ”

Duan Lang nodded, "The location in Yushan Pass is special, and at present, there should be no war in more than ten years." However, Yushan Pass is the gateway to the Northern Ming Dynasty, and as a member of this place, he must also deal with the disputes on the border. I will rest here for two days, and then I will go to Beiming for a visit. You've just been here for a short time, so you can do whatever you need to do, and as for my visit, I don't have to report it to Lord Jianshan for the time being. ”

"Obey the order!" Xue Bingtian didn't know that Duan Lang was visiting privately, he thought that he was going to return to his hometown with the emperor and queen.

Duan Lang asked Xue Bingtian to step down, and all the cumbersome banquets were canceled, just get them some delicious meals. The new dynasty had just been established, and Duan Lang didn't want the officials below to see him taking the lead in squandering.

In the backyard of the government, in the bedroom of the Moli. Tantai Mori lay on the couch and looked at Duan Lang and asked softly, "Your Majesty Jishan, do you really want to go to Xianglu City with me?" ”

Duan Lang looked at the Mingyue next to him, and said with a smile, "What, didn't she, who is a sister, explain it to you clearly?" ”

"Your Majesty, the monarch's visit is a big deal, so I have to ask clearly. According to the monarch's travel practice, I Beiming must announce the world and inform all countries of this matter, so as to show respect for His Majesty Jishan. ”

"Brother Morley, it doesn't have to be so cumbersome. However, this visit is not dominated by me. ”

Yutai Mori was stunned, "What's the matter, His Majesty Jishan doesn't go with you?" ”

Duan Lang smiled, "Of course I went, but nominally, it was the return of the emperor and queen of the Great Calendar Kingdom to the homeland of Mingyue." And I, the emperor, am just accompanied. ”

"This~ This is not good. Your Majesty Jishan, according to the practice of the national system, the monarch is the first emperor and then the second, which cannot break the rules. ”

Duan Lang laughed, "Do I have fewer bad rules in the Great Calendar Country?" In the eyes of my subjects of the Great Calendar Kingdom, of course, I am respected as the emperor. But in my heart, no one is more important than Yue'er. As long as she is willing, she has the final say. If Yue'er wants to be the people, I Duan Lang can also return to the mountains and forests. Brother More, you don't have to fight with me in this regard, when you come to Beiming, she is respected, and I am second. ”

Tangtai Mingyue knew that Duan Lang wanted to let her return to Beiming with great beauty, and in just a few words, Mingyue's nose suddenly made Mingyue's nose sour, and tears couldn't help but flow down. Lantai Moli was even more shocked by Duan Lang's words, and took Lantai Mingyue's hand slightly excitedly.

"Silly sister, my brother is a little jealous of you. Congratulations, you've found a good husband. Since this is the case, I immediately sent someone to the camp of Mengdu, and sent it all the way to inform my father of the eight hundred miles. ”

"Big brother, no need, I'll still return as a ~ princess." Yutai Mingyue said detainely.

"Silly girl, even if I want, you, the Emperor of Jishan, will not agree."

Tantai Morry looked at Duan Lang as he spoke, he understood Duan Lang's intentions. Moreover, Duan Lang's move not only wants his sister to return to Xianglu City with great beauty, but also has another layer of deep meaning. And this deep meaning also made Tantai Morley have a lot of respect for Duan Lang.

Duan Lang and Mingyue escorted the return of Lantai Moli all the way in the name of the emperor and queen of the Great Calendar Kingdom, which was equivalent to sending a signal to the lord of the Northern Ming Kingdom, Lantai Hongshi. That is, the Great Calendar Kingdom completely stood on the side of Shantai Moli and supported him to inherit the position of the lord of the country. Especially now that the company has become disabled, it needs such a strong external force to support it. Otherwise, according to the ancestral system of the Northern Ming Dynasty, the throne will never be passed on to a paralyzed person.
