The sun hung high in the air, and some of the white sunlight shone listlessly on the earth, but the north wind was very dedicated, whirring and blowing, blowing the trees on both sides of the official road and swaying constantly, and the few remaining leaves were also crumbling, as if they would fall down and turn into dust at any moment. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

A long procession of thousands of people walked in this cold winter, and they were the guards who escorted Yang Zhen to the Nine Sides to inspect the nine borders. Because this team, except for the Jinyi Guard, is the elite drawn from the three major battalions in the capital, there are not many foot soldiers among them, and almost all of them are cavalry.

However, their speed was still not too fast, because in addition to these guards on horseback, there were dozens of double-wheeled carriages following the procession, and it was naturally impossible for the horses with huge carriages to gallop on the road like ordinary mounts, which naturally slowed down the overall speed of the team.

These carriages were used to house miscellaneous items such as tents and pots and bowls for camping out, as well as for those with special statuses in the ranks. Although Yang Zhen prefers to ride a horse with others, it is naturally impossible for him to be the only official who goes to the border to do this Qin errand this time, and the imperial court also sent a few deputies to assist, they are all civil officials, and they are not so good at horseback riding, so they can only ride in a carriage.

Of course, Yang Zhen, as the person with the highest status in the team, also has his own car, and now he doesn't always have to put on an appearance of sharing weal and woe with the soldiers. As the governor of Jinyi and the envoy appointed by the Son of Heaven, it would be fine if you were a little bit of a good person, but you always eat and live with the soldiers, but it is easy to be looked down upon, which is determined by today's hierarchical society, and Yang Zhen has no intention of subverting this deeply rooted opinion.

Moreover, he didn't rush all the way to the border, but needed to receive and process news from the capital and the front at any time. To do these things, of course, riding on a horse is not as safe and efficient as sitting in the carriage, so in a day, Yang Zhen stays in the carriage for half of the day.

For example, at this moment, Yang Zhen was leaning on the carriage with a soft seat, with several dried fruits and a pot of wine on the tables in front of him, and he was looking at an urgent report that had just been sent from the front. The trays of dried fruit and the utensils for the wine were not in danger of capsizing because of the constant vibrations in the carriages, and even if the carriage suddenly jolted, it only caused a few ripples in the wine, because these utensils were specially made, and several of them were made of iron, and the bottom of these containers contained magnets that could be firmly attached once the two sides came into contact.

This car was left by Jinyiwei at the beginning, and it was the car that the previous governors had been using, and the beauty was not only that. This carriage looks no different from an ordinary carriage from the outside, but in fact, it is inlaid with iron plates, not to mention the bow and crossbow, even the musket can't penetrate it, and Yang Zhen still has a few mechanisms at hand, and under one press, the carriage can be completely closed to ensure the absolute safety of the people in the car......

All of this is designed to make it more comfortable and safe for the governor of Jinyiwei, after all, there will always be many enemies of Jinyiwei, so it is better to be careful once you go out.

Of course, these organs were of little use to Yang Zhen, not only because their skills were far superior to those of the previous commanders, but also because in terms of word of mouth, they surpassed them a lot, so naturally there was no need to fear that people would suddenly attack him when he was out. Especially after the hidden danger of the White Lotus Sect was completely solved, he didn't have to worry about his own safety.

So at this moment, the curtains of the carriage where Yang Zhen is located are raised high, so that everything inside and outside is in front of him. At this moment, if the soldiers walking beside his car turned their heads and glanced inside, they would find that Yang Qincha's brows were locked extremely tightly, as if he had encountered some problem.

This was an urgent report sent from the Xuanfu -- because Yang Zhen had left Beijing as a messenger and had gone to the border, Jinyiwei's intelligence system had been changed accordingly, and the news from there would be directly delivered to him in the middle of the road.

Previously, several pieces of information had been sent about the Xuanfu and the Mongolian people, but obviously, today's one had a greater impact on Yang Zhen, which made him seem to have some ideas.

This is a good news, saying that four days ago, Liang Sidu, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, led the army to take the initiative to attack and broke the results of the siege of the Mongolian army, and the siege of Xuanfu has been resolved.

Originally, this should be a good thing for Yang Zhen, after all, it is a little dangerous for him to go to Xuanfu after all, and now that the Mongolian people have been repulsed, it will naturally be much safer to go there. But after reading this battle report, Yang Zhen muttered in his heart, why didn't these guys retreat from the enemy sooner or later, and retreated from the enemy when they saw that they were about to rush away? Is there some hidden secret?

And, if they can do this, won't they be better prepared to deal with themselves? So what will be the result of crashing into Xuanfu like this? Is it blinded by these snakes, or is it an irreconcilable contradiction with them?

Yang Zhen is not afraid that these arrogant soldiers will dare to disadvantage him, after all, he has the title of Qincha, as long as they don't want to rebel, they will never dare to do anything to themselves. But this feeling of being calculated was still not what he hoped to encounter.

After leaning in the carriage and pondering for a long time, Yang Zhen suddenly raised his eyebrows, and he had already taken a countermeasure. Immediately, he beckoned to the cronies outside: "Go, call me Mr. Duan Qian, who led the way in front." ”

A moment later, Duan Rui, one of the leaders of the Qin Guards, rushed to Yang Zhen on horseback: "I don't know what Governor Yang commands?" "He has a lot of respect for this Jinyi Guard.

"How many days are we still a few days away from Xuanhua Mansion City?" Yang Zhen asked.

"Three more days and that's about the same."

"What about Datong?" Yang Zhen suddenly asked a surprising question.

Duan Rui was obviously stunned for a moment, but he still answered honestly: "This is a bit of a journey, at least we have to catch up with the journey of more than ten days." ”

Yang Zhen nodded, and then ordered: "Then give the team an order, transfer to Datong, and let them raise the speed, and strive to reach Datong within ten days." ”

“…… Be! Although it was a little strange, Duan Rui still agreed, and then rushed up and ordered the people in front to turn around.

It wasn't until such an arrangement was made that a smile appeared on Yang Zhen's face, and he leaned on the cushion behind him, and said in his heart: "This is enough to surprise those guys!" ”

Bingbu Langzhong Xia Zhuluan sat in the carriage, but his face was a little ugly. As the deputy envoy of the Qin mission to Jiubian this time, he naturally has a car to sit on. But the bumps along the way still made him cry bitterly, and he had vomited no less than three times today.

This can't be blamed on him, he used to go in and out mostly by sedan chair, and the trip was not very far. It took half a month to go on a trip like this, and the road was so bumpy, it really made him suffer a big crime.

Fortunately, as far as he knew, he would be able to arrive at Xuanhua Mansion in three or four days, so at least for the time being, he would not have to suffer such hardships again.

Just as he was constantly comforting and encouraging himself with these words, someone outside the carriage suddenly knocked lightly on the wall of the car: "Old man......" was the voice of Xia Xingzhi, the servant he brought with him.

"What's the matter?" Xia Langzhong asked a little weakly.

"It seems that the itinerary of our team has changed, and what was supposed to go north suddenly changed direction and went northwest......

"How so?" As soon as he heard this, Xia Zhuluan couldn't care about the discomfort of his body, and immediately opened the curtain and asked.

"This ...... The little one went to inquire just now, and said that it was an order given by Lord Qincha a few hours ago, saying that he would not go to Xuanfu instead, but to go to Datong instead. ”

"What? How does this work? Xia Langzhong's face suddenly sank: "Isn't this nonsense?" So saying, he struggled out of the carriage and crawled out of it as he told it to stop. But because my heart was too anxious, I stumbled on my feet and almost fell to the ground.

finally controlled his body, but his feet were twisted not lightly, which made Xia Zhuluan's whole face a little pale. But even so, he still called two of his relatives and asked them to support him and walk towards his back, because not far from him, behind him was Yang Zhen's car.

After walking for a while, he came to Yang Zhen's car, and after passing his name, he was able to enter the carriage.

At this moment, Yang Zhen happened to be drinking wine and eating dried fruits, when he saw Xia Zhuluan, he was stunned for a moment, and then frowned slightly, the sour taste on this body is really not small: "Xia Langzhong, what are you ...... Why do you look so haggard and embarrassed? ”

"Xia Guan is ashamed, this way, his body will be very uncomfortable, but Yang Dudu will make you smile." Xia Zhuluan's old face turned red and explained.

"Then you have to pay attention, then we have to increase the speed, otherwise it will be even later to get to Datong." Yang Zhen said as if he was concerned.

Originally, Xia Zhuluan still didn't know how to mention this, but when he heard Yang Zhen's words, he immediately said: "Yang Dudu, the lower officials are here because of this matter, why did you suddenly give this order and change your destination?" That's a bit wrong......"

"Oh, but what's wrong?" Yang Zhen narrowed his eyes and looked at the other party with a smile and asked.

"When we set off, we had already received the order to go to Xuanfu, why did we change the hexagram in the middle of the way, isn't this against the holy will? Although Yang Dudu is a Qincha and has the right to be the master, it is not good to make such a change, and once this matter is transmitted to the capital, it will also be very unfavorable to you. Xia Langzhong pressed his emotions and persuaded him.

But Yang Zhen in front of him didn't look the slightest moved, and still looked at him coldly: "Xia Langzhong, what you said is a little wrong. ”
