Chapter 308: Leaving Beijing and Leaving (Part I)

As long as there is the first one to stand up, there will be more followers later. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Yang Zhen's troops in the Zhenfu Division are also average, when the first Jinyi Wei resolutely came out to support, from time to time someone came out to list the willingness to go to Shanxi, and the most difficult hurdle for Yang Zhen was finally passed.

Don't look at those brocade guards who have already lost their fighting spirit because of their life and situation, but everyone still has a fire in their hearts after all, it depends on whether you can move them with words and ignite the fire in their hearts. Obviously, Yang Zhen's words resonated with them and gave them the idea of fighting for the country and themselves.

Of course, being able to make these Jinyi guards, who have always been accustomed to shrinking their heads, take this step is also inseparable from the prestige that Yang Zhen has always established in Jinyiwei. Whether it was in Qipan Street before or the arson case of the Lantern Festival later, Yang Zhen let people see his own ability and the benefits he can get by following his own work. It was precisely because they felt that following him had a great hope of success and being rewarded that they could make these brocade guards who had been cowering to make this difficult decision.

When Yang Zhen looked at the Jinyi Guard who was constantly standing up with some excitement, Liu Shouyou beside him looked at him with a contemplative expression. Even he didn't expect that Yang Zhen's reputation in Jinyiwei was so high, even if he didn't have such a big appeal. This realization made Liu Shouyou feel a little nervous, and at the same time, he was a little more wary and hostile to Yang Zhen.

In this way, the most difficult manpower problem to solve in the eyes of others was perfectly solved after Yang Zhen's words. At that time, he selected 500 capable subordinates from Jinyiwei to go to Shanxi with him, including of course several old subordinates such as Mo Chong and Hu Ge, and in addition, Deng Ting, who had a good relationship with him before, was also impressively listed.

It's just that at this time, Deng Ting is no longer able to sit on an equal footing with Yang Zhen, he is still only a test hundred households, and Yang Zhen has already become a thousand households, that is, Mo Chong and Huang Bang, two subordinates who followed Yang Zhen after coming to Beijing, are also the same as him at this moment, and they are also trying to use a hundred households. It shows how important it is to keep up with your boss in officialdom.

After the manpower was ready, Yang Zhen had nothing else to prepare, and then he just waited for the imperial court to be ready, and then went to Shanxi with Zhong Yu.

Fortunately, this time, the Ming court finally knew that the situation was urgent, and it no longer had the habitual procrastination as before. On the third day of the fifth month, all the preparations had been made, and the Son of Heaven had summoned Zhong Yu alone the day before, and encouraged him to do a good job - in fact, Wanli wanted to take the opportunity to meet Yang Zhen as well, but in the end Feng Bao intervened, thinking that Yang Zhen was not qualified to face the saint at all, so he gave up - and then stayed until the morning of the fourth day of the first month, and the team to Shanxi walked towards the Xizhi Gate under the expectant eyes of the people.

Although Zhong Yu didn't need to bring troops to fight the rebels when they went to Shanxi this time, because the situation in Shanxi was very delicate, they still brought more men and horses for safety. In addition to the 500 cavalry led by Yang Zhen, there were also 2,000 cavalry selected from the three major battalions in the capital, namely the five military battalions, the three thousand battalions, and the Shenji battalion, which were the elite of the Beijing army and the most elite troops in the Ming army in the world.

If you just look at the image of the army, these well-dressed and energetic foot riders are still very capable of promoting the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, which also makes the people on both sides of the road scramble to watch more hope, and feel that maybe the situation in Shanxi will not be so bad, and there are imperial soldiers rushing to the court, which should be able to calm down the chaos as soon as possible and return the world to peace.

Yang Zhen rode on a tall horse, and in the field of everyone's attention, he looked even more majestic. However, the people around him didn't know that Yang Zhen at this time was not as proud as it seemed, but a little melancholy, because of the previous farewell to Zhang Jingyun.

In the early hours of this morning, when Yang Zhen woke up, he found that the lovely person who had always curled up in his arms in the past was gone. When he came out of the house, he saw Zhang Jingyun busy in the kitchen, but his movements were much slower than usual.

When Yang Zhen stepped forward, he found that Zhang Jingyun's eyes were red, and there seemed to be some tears on his pretty face. This made his heart thump, and he hugged Zhang Jingyun's slender waist behind him: "Jingyun ......"

"Erlang...... I know you're going to do big things, so I shouldn't ...... There shouldn't be such emotions. But when I think of separating from you next, and you are going to such a dangerous place as Shanxi, my heart ......"

Yang Zhen didn't let her finish her words, turned her over suddenly, and then kissed her deeply. After a while, the two separated, and Yang Zhen looked at her affectionately and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely protect myself when I go to Shanxi, and I won't let you worry." And I promise that I will get things done as soon as possible and come back to Beijing to see you. ”

"Well......" Zhang Jingyun's face was red, very coquettish, and the melancholy in her eyes seemed to be less.

It was only when the two of them had breakfast together that Yang Zhen knew that Zhang Jingyun's heart was still in chaos. Because this bowl of noodles she is best at is actually sweet, obviously mistaking sugar for salt without knowing it. But even so, Yang Zhen still gulped down the bowl of noodles, because he knew very well that if he wanted to eat the food made by Zhang Jingyun again, it would be at least a few months later.

Although when Yang Zhen stepped out of the house, Zhang Jingyun still sent him out with a smile. But after Yang Zhen took a few steps, he could clearly hear the sobbing sound behind him. The beauty is so gracious that it is difficult for Yang Zhen to come out of this child's love all at once, so his heart is melancholy at this moment.

However, when his gaze fell on the two carriages in the middle of the horse, the feeling was slightly subdued. Because he knew that in one of the cars was sitting Song Xueqiao, the enemy who was bent on putting himself to death.

"Before I arrived in Shanxi and fought with those rebels or local tyrants, the first thing I had to solve was this big trouble around me. Song Xueqiao, you found it yourself! In the city of Beijing, I can't help you because of my identity, but when I leave the capital, it's completely different! While thinking about this, Yang Zhen also glanced at himself, where there was a brocade guard captain with a beard on his face and barely able to see his face, this person was Xiang Ying!

Yang Zhen inserted Xiang Ying'an into the team to Shanxi this time as agreed. In order to prevent Song Xueqiao's people from seeing his identity, he also made him deliberately disguise. Today's Xiang Ying is completely different from him before, not only has he become a lot thinner, but he is also full of beards, not to mention Song Xueqiao, who is only a few sides with him, even if he is a friend who is familiar with him, I am afraid that it will be difficult to recognize this Jinyi Guard Captain as the killer Xiang Ying.

When Yang Zhen's gaze fell on the carriage, there were also two pairs of eyes staring at him in the carriage. One of them was An Jizong, who also relied on Song Xueqiao to blend in with the team heading to Shanxi. However, just in case, Yang Zhen saw the problem, he did not show up, but stayed in Song Xueqiao's sedan car all the time.

Seeing that the guy who killed his father-in-law and made himself what he is now show off his might in front of everyone so beautifully, An Jizong's eyes were about to burst into flames. "Let you be proud for a few more days, and soon, you will die in front of me!" The only thing that calmed him down now was this thought.

And next to him, Song Xueqiao also looked at Yang Zhen, but he didn't have such a strong hatred and killing intent. In fact, what he was thinking about more was the thoughtful things of his subordinates.

Two days ago, Zhou Zhi was found tragically dead in his home, which made Song Xueqiao surprised and nervous. He couldn't think of any person who had such a deep hatred with Zhou Zhi, not only killing people, but also cutting people so miserably. For this reason, he also sent someone to investigate carefully, but the murderer was too sophisticated, and he did not leave any clues and evidence at all.

Song Xueqiao knew that there must be a lot of people who offended him in his business, and many people hated to skin and tear them apart, but he knew that there were very few people who really dared to attack them. He believed that if he gave himself enough time, he could find the murderer. However, he had already taken over the errand to Shanxi, so the matter could only be put aside, hoping to find out the truth when he returned.

And at this moment, looking at Yang Zhen not far ahead, a bold guess unconsciously arose in his mind: "Could it be that he knew my intentions and made the first move?" But soon, this idea was dispelled, only a few people knew about it, and Yang Zhen seemed impossible to perceive, so naturally it was impossible to take the lead.

In addition to the trouble caused by Zhou Zhizhi's death, the greater trouble was that Song Xueqiao was missing a capable and reliable subordinate. This is very unfavorable for dealing with Yang Zhen in the middle of the road next. But now that the meaning has been conveyed, and there is An Jizong, a person who is eager to get rid of Yang Zhen, there is no possibility for him to turn back.

"Yang Zhen, let's see how you escaped my snare this time! You won't have the same good luck as you used to! Looking at Yang Zhen's silhouette, Song Xueqiao said silently in his heart.

Whatever the purpose of the group, there will be no change in their itinerary to Shanxi. In the expectant eyes and blessings of the people, a procession of more than 2,500 people walked through the long streets, passed through the wide-open Xizhimen doorway, and walked out of the city of Beijing.

Yang Zhen exhaled sharply when he rode out of Beijing City, from now on, he will leave all the previous children's friendships behind, and concentrate on two things - quelling the chaos and dealing with Song Xueqiao!

At this moment, among the people not far away, there was a sudden greeting that made him stunned: "Erlang ......"
