In the fifth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, the fifth day of the first month. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

While the people of Datong were still celebrating the New Year and hoping that it would be a good year, the good news spread throughout the city - everyone had been worried for a long time, and the army that had mutined and rebelled in April last year had finally returned to the government and would surrender outside the city three days later.

As soon as the news was confirmed, the whole city rejoiced. Although as time goes by, the people are not too worried about this, and everyone's life can be taken care of, but after all, there is an extra hostile army on the edge of Datong City, which is still a deterrent for ordinary people and merchants. Now, it is naturally a great thing that this army can return to the imperial court.

As for the deeper meaning behind this, it is not for ordinary people to know or be interested. They were interested in the whole process of quelling the mutiny, so inadvertently, the deeds of Yang Zhen and Zhong Yu from the capital were widely recited by the people, which also mixed with a lot of legends, and they were even more talked about.

When the official arrival of the eighth day of the new year, many people ran outside the city to see the excitement. Although it is impossible for there to be idle people watching the surrender ceremony because it is related to the prestige of the imperial court, as long as you look at this kind of scene from a distance, which is impossible to see once in many years, it is worth recalling for several years, and even boasting for a while.

"It's coming, it's coming...... Look, it's the rebels over there, right? The sharp-eyed people pointed to the procession to the east and shouted, and all eyes were immediately gathered.

As the procession drew closer, all the people had strange and disappointed expressions on their faces. In their imagination, these rebels must be fierce and vicious, and even if they surrender, they can see some murderous aura. But the team in front of them was like a fleeing refugee, not only in poor spirits, but also in rags, if they were not still holding all kinds of weapons, people would have to think that they were refugees from which side.

"This ...... They just made us worry about the chaos for more than half a year, which is too miserable, right? ”

"Yes, just this point of people, Governor Liu and the others were stunned and couldn't calm down, they were really incompetent, no wonder he was dismissed."

"Hey, I'm really disappointed, I was going to see something different, but this time it's really a long experience......"

Amid the disappointment of the people, the procession had slowly approached the city gate, when an official in a red official uniform and a beam crown had urged his horse to meet him. Although he didn't have any followers behind him, the momentum exuded by one of them was much stronger than the entire rebel team in front of him.

"That's Lord Qinchazhong, this counterinsurgency can only be so smooth because he is in the middle of the command." The people who knew the inside story introduced it to the people around them.

At this moment, Zhong Yu's heart was still a little complicated, he felt a little excited because he finally settled the matter, and at the same time felt a little ashamed. Because in this matter, it was Yang Zhen who really contributed to it, not only did he sit back and enjoy it, but he also had to rely on Yang Zhen's help to get out of the control of others. But now, when everything is about to settle, it is himself who is in the limelight in front of everyone, which really makes him feel uneasy.

But this is the rule in officialdom, no matter how much credit the people below make, the boss can overshadow him. And Yang Zhen doesn't pay too much attention to this kind of thing, for him, reputation or anything is false, as long as he can get substantial benefits in these things, he is very satisfied.

After seeing Zhong Yu coming out in line and coming over, Nie Fei, who was at the front of the team, stopped, then jumped off the horse, and after a few steps, he suddenly knelt down, bowed to Zhong Yu, and said loudly: "The sin will lead Nie Fei to surrender, and please surrender your lord!" ”

As he made this move, the sergeants behind him who looked blank also knelt down and shouted unevenly: "Please condemn our sin!" ”

Zhong Yu looked at these troops who were sluggish, because of their thin clothes and still shivering in the cold wind, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "I knew today, why did I have to ...... in the first place" But of course he couldn't say this kind of thing in public, so he only said to everyone in a dignified tone, including the people around who were watching the excitement: "What you have committed is indeed a great crime, if it is according to my Ming law, rebellion is a heinous crime, and it is reasonable to raid the house and destroy the door."

"However, the Son of Heaven is saintly, and he can't bear to do this thing that makes his relatives and enemies happy, and he knows that Er and others are forced to make this decision, so he ordered the official to come to appease Er and others, so as to see and hear, and to correct the heart of the army. Yesterday, the court can be pardoned, and I hope that Er and others can remember today's mistakes, and he will kill the enemy on the battlefield to repay the country for this kindness.

"In addition, the court has its own law, and although it can forgive your sins today, if he repeats this matter in the future, he will not be spared again, and it is not impossible to destroy the door and break the corpse. Have you written them all? ”

Although Zhong Yu had exhausted his dantian strength and tried his best to roar when he said this, he was not a martial arts practitioner after all, his voice was still a little tight, and the city where he was located was very empty, and the constant blowing north wind easily blew away what he said, so there were not many people present who could actually hear what he said clearly.

But it didn't matter, because as Zhong Yu opened his mouth to speak, dozens of healthy soldiers ran out of the team behind him, tearing out their throats and shouting the same words in all directions. They were all selected in the army to be good at scolding the enemy, and their voices were loud and confident, so even in such an environment, their words still traveled far and wide, so that everyone present could hear them clearly.

After hearing these words, those rebellious soldiers finally settled down, it seems that their own safety is guaranteed this time, and the court will not settle accounts after such a statement. And Nie Fei breathed a sigh of relief, and knelt on the ground again: "Your Majesty's holy virtue, the sin will be remembered in the five, and in the future, he will repay the court with death, and he will not dare to ask for it again!" He bowed his head again as he spoke.

Seeing this, Zhong Yu stepped forward, helped him up from the ground, and then said with a smile: "General Nie is serious, you are so so, you are just forced by the situation, the country has a Ming Jun, how can you let Zhongliang be wronged?" If you don't feel resentful, continue to serve the country, and guard the borderlands, it is the best reward. Ladies and gentlemen, please stand up as well. The ruler has arranged a banquet in the city, waiting for you to enter the city and wash the dust for you. ”

"Thank you for your tolerance!" The soldiers were really moved by his words this time, and the little vigilance left in their hearts also disappeared.

Seeing such a scene, some of the people disagreed, and some of them sighed, and they immediately started talking again. And in this discussion, there is a conversation between the two that is the most special-

"Second brother, do you think the imperial court will really pardon their crimes like this?" It was a short, dark-faced young man who spoke, but if you look closely at his appearance, you will see that this is a woman who is easy to handle.

Beside him stood a smiling young man with an extremely ordinary appearance: "This is just a means for the imperial court to appease the frontier land." I can guarantee that as long as this matter is completely settled, it will not take a year and a half for these rebellious troops to end well. Even if they will not be formally punished, they will inevitably be thrown into idleness, and they still want to fight the Mongols, which is really a dream. It's a pity that all my hard work was ruined by them......"

This pair of brothers and sisters who are talking to each other is naturally Xu Chongchuan with a soft voice. Although they knew that they had been seen through by the government, they did not flee from here, but stayed in Datong and saw the final end. However, for the sake of safety, they all disguised themselves, so that no one who knew their identity could find them.

"I'm really unconvinced, and we were ruined by that Yang Zhen again!" While saying this, Yin Shuirou couldn't help but shift her gaze to the officials in front of the city gate, and soon fell on Yang Zhen, who was dressed in a flying fish suit and looked extraordinary, and her teeth itched with hatred.

"Don't keep an eye on him, this man is not ordinary, if he is aware of our presence, it will be troublesome." Xu Chongchuan, who found out about his sister's move, hurriedly reminded. Although he and Yang Zhen only indirectly made a move, he already knew something about this young man's ability, and he didn't dare to take it lightly.

"Oh." Yin Shuirou realized at this time, and quickly lowered her head, no longer looking at Yang Zhen.

But her hostile gaze still alarmed Yang Zhen, whose six senses were far superior to ordinary people. He had been watching the surrender in front of him with some pleasure, when he suddenly felt a wave of hostility rushing towards him, so he quickly collected his mind and looked for the source of this hostility. Unfortunately, he was still half a beat slower, and when he noticed that the hostility was coming from the crowd on the side, and when he glanced over, he found that it was just a large group of ordinary people.

"Could it be those people from the White Lotus Sect? Are they so bold that they don't even know how to leave this place when they're almost exposed? Yang Zhen quickly turned his mind with thoughts, but then sighed helplessly.

Even so, they did not have the time and energy to find out these scourges, after all, after the mutiny was quelled, their errand was completed, and it was time to leave for Beijing. Moreover, he didn't want to make any more extraneous complications, otherwise it would be very unfavorable to Nie Fei and them, and someone in the court would inevitably use this as an excuse to reconvict them.

"White Lotus Sect? As long as you are still doing these small actions, as long as I am still on duty in the DPRK, there will always be a day when you and I will have a real face-to-face contest! After Yang Zhen withdrew his gaze, he said secretly in his heart.

But it won't be here......
