After Nie Fei was "escorted" by thousands of people and horses to Taihang Mountain, Yang Zhen and them had nothing important to deal with in Datong. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although they had already asked from the mouths of those White Lotus Sect disciples about Xu Chongchuan's hiding place, when they led people to rush there, the courtyard was already empty, and they didn't even leave any valuable clues. Yang Zhen had actually expected this for a long time, the White Lotus Sect had always acted steadily and secretly, as long as they sensed that there was an unsafe situation, their first reaction was to protect themselves. This is also the reason why the White Lotus Sect can survive for hundreds of years, even if it is so targeted by the Ming court, it can still survive.

Since he failed to catch this important person, it strengthened Yang Zhen's determination to cover up the fact that this mutiny was closely related to the White Lotus Sect. Otherwise, this will only make the ground in Shanxi more unpeaceful, and the situation that they have finally settled down will recur.

In this regard, Zhong Yu did not insist, although he was a square person, he was not pedantic to the point of not knowing how to be flexible. He knew very well that this was the best result of this trip to Shanxi, and now they only needed to wait for Nie Fei and them to return with their troops to surrender, and they could return to Beijing to hand over the order.

But this year, these people from the capital have to live in Datong City.

After all, it has been more than half a year since they left Beijing in May, but they have not been able to return home. You must know that when they were in the capital, they also had to be with their families because they needed to practice and other official duties, and the Chinese New Year was one of the very few times they could reunite with their relatives, but now they can only stay here because of the undecided affairs here in Shanxi.

In this regard, Zhong Yu, who had heard a little, hurriedly came forward to comfort everyone, and the Datong government took out a lot of wine, meat and silver money to reward them, which calmed the slightly impetuous mood of the soldiers in Beijing. However, everyone was still eager to return to Beijing, and everyone counted Nie Fei's departure time with their fingers, hoping that they would come back as soon as possible.

As for Yang Zhen, he is very open in this matter, after all, for him, as long as the two daughters are by his side, isn't it the same wherever he celebrates the New Year?

At this moment, he and his two daughters sat in the guest room of the Changsheng Inn, in front of him was a burning side stove (that is, the hot pot of later generations), all kinds of dishes filled the big table, and the three of them were gossiping while drinking wine, quite contented.

After eating a few glasses of wine, Yang Zhen noticed that Zhang Jingyun was a little sullen, so he asked in wonder, "Jingyun, what's wrong with you, why don't you smile?" ”

"You, did you just find out that Sister Jingyun has something on her mind? I really don't know how to care about people at all. Luo Yueying glanced at him with some complaint, poured wine for Zhang Jingyun, and then persuaded: "Sister Jingyun, you don't have to worry too much, maybe when you return to the capital this time, your grandfather will already be waiting for you." ”

"Well, maybe what Sister Luo said is right, I can see grandpa when I go back." Zhang Jingyun nodded vigorously, as if she was responding to Luo Yueying, and as if she was talking to herself.

Only then did Yang Zhen know what Zhang Jingyun was worried about, it was her grandfather Zhang Tianqian, who had not come back for more than a year.

In fact, when he received the letter this spring, Yang Zhen already had a faint feeling of uneasiness in his heart. With his understanding of Zhang Laodao, this person will not speak falsely, and it is impossible to joke about his life and death. Perhaps, as he wrote in his letter, he had an accident in Guangxi, and it would be difficult for him to come back.

But in the face of the person he loves, Yang Zhen will never tell such a hurtful truth, so he also comforted: "Jingyun, don't worry, Zhang Daochang is strong and upright, and there will never be any calamity that will befall him." If you really can't rest assured, after returning to Beijing after this incident, I will take a leave to accompany you to Guangxi to find him. ”

Being comforted by them like this, Zhang Jingyun's depressed mood finally slowly recovered, and looked at Yang Zhen and Luo Yueying with some gratitude: "Thank you, I won't worry so much anymore." ”

"Silly girl, we're all a family, isn't it normal to care about you, say thank you." Luo Yueying said, stretched out her hand and grabbed Zhang Jingyun's shoulder.

"Hmm...... Sister Luo, Sister Luo, and Erlang are a family, so there is no need to be so polite. Zhang Jingyun nodded knowingly, and then laughed.

When Yang Zhen heard this, he smiled narrowly at Luo Yueying: "Yes, we will be a family in the future......" He said the word "family" extremely hard. This made Luo Yueying's face suddenly red, and he glanced at him with some coquettishness: "I treat Sister Jingyun as my own sister, so I am a family with her, as for you, hum ......"

Seeing that her face was tender and she still refused to say anything about the relationship between the three of them, Yang Zhen was also amused for a while, but he didn't mean to force her, so he just smiled: "As long as you and Jingyun are a family, you and I are a family, and this will definitely not be able to escape." ”

"You...... I love to make people cheap! Luo Yueying glared at Yang Zhen angrily, and looked at Zhang Jingyun with a hearty smile, she had left the unhappiness just now behind.

After laughing for a while, Luo Yueying frowned and looked at Yang Zhen: "Erlang, the matter here in Shanxi should be about to end, when can we go back?" ”

"What, tired of being here?" Yang Zhen hugged her slender waist and asked with a smile.

"It's not a greasy thing, it's ...... I've been here for months, but my dad is still in Hangzhou, and I'm a girl's ......" said the back, her face was red. Indeed, as a daughter who has not yet married, but because of an accident with her lover, she traveled thousands of miles to come, which is an extremely bold act for Luo Yueying. Now that Yang Zhen is unharmed, she naturally has to consider some other situations.

Yang Zhen understood her embarrassment, and his heart was even more moved, and the hand around her waist became harder and harder: "Don't worry, it is estimated that everything will settle after the year, and we will be able to go back then." ”

Hearing him say this, a smile appeared on Luo Yueying's face, nodded and said, "Well, then I will go to Beijing with you first, and then turn back to Hangzhou." ”

"Good. When the time comes, I will go to Hangzhou to propose to you, don't deny you. Yang Zhen said with a smile.

Seeing this, Zhang Jingyun clapped her hands with some joy: "Okay, wow, wow, I'm going to go too, and help Erlang propose to you." ”

"You......" Seeing her so excited, Luo Yang and the others couldn't help laughing, this girl's heart is really big.

Just as Yang Zhen thought, the matter was almost settled at this time.

In the Taihang Mountains, when those rebellious troops saw Nie Fei come back safely, they were greatly relieved. Before he decided to rush to Datong to negotiate with the government, the brothers were worried about this, fearing that he would be detained by the government and use his safety as a bargaining chip to blackmail them into surrendering. It was only because Nie Fei had always said nothing and his prestige was heavy that these people finally let him leave.

Today, seeing that he finally returned safely, while being happy, everyone was a little more convinced of the sincerity of the government. And when they saw the food sent by the officers and soldiers, the only remaining suspicion in their hearts disappeared.

White flour, white rice, vegetables and vegetables, pig-like beef...... They hadn't eaten the food for half a year, and what made people salivate even more was the good wine from the jar. In this cold weather, wine was the best drink for the soldiers, who had drunk it countless times in their dreams, only to wake up to find only cold snow water around them. And now, it's finally no longer a dream.

After months of desertion, the rebels finally gathered together lively, drank a lot of wine, ate large pieces of meat, and stuffed the white-flour steamed buns into their mouths one by one, which was better than anything else.

After he was full of wine and food, Nie Fei told him that he had promised the government and brought everyone to surrender. After explaining his thoughts, he said in a deep voice: "There is another thing that everyone didn't expect, in fact, we embarked on this road, of course, there are reasons why we were cornered by those unscrupulous officials, but also because we were calculated. Some people want to use us to disturb the overall situation in Shanxi, thus ruining the side affairs. Everyone, you and I used to be soldiers guarding the border, do you really want to see the side affairs erosive, and my people in the Ming Dynasty are bullied by the Tartars? ”

"Of course not!" Han Qiang was the first to respond: "Our brothers are all hot-blooded men, if we don't really have no choice, who is willing to take this road?" As long as the court is really willing to blame the past, let's continue to guard the border for them. ”

"Yes, let's keep on the side!"

"Keep on the edge and ......"

Seeing that all his subordinates responded so unanimously, Nie Fei's mood was even more agitated: "They are all good men." Okay, then let's fill this cup and set off to return to Datong! ”

While the soldiers on this side were rejoicing and thinking about how to continue to guard the border after they returned, in the somewhat cold wooden hut on the other side, several men who were tied to the ground were already full of despair. They are Yan Huang and the other White Lotus Sect disciples.

They had thought that things would be uncertain, and maybe those Qiu Ba would attack the nearby states and counties because they couldn't stand this kind of day, so they might still have a chance. But now, the situation has obviously changed to the worst, not only Nie Fei, but also those soldiers have the heart to surrender. Listening to the cheers outside, Yan Huang and the others' hearts twitched one after another.

"Is it all over? We have spent so much time and thought, but we have not been able to make this plan succeed after all, is it true that this Ming Dynasty is protected by gods? Yan Huang stared at the roof above his head, thinking with some despair in his mind, he knew that soon, his solution was coming.
