On the day of September 20 in the fourth year of Chongzhen, the actions of the officers and soldiers of Datong Town were a little abnormal in the eyes of ordinary people, and the arrogant and domineering appearance of the past was completely gone. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

actually lined up on the urn city early, and there were even generals and officials who looked like people patrolling back and forth, and seeing that nervous look also made people wonder, is there any big man who is going to come.

At the same time, the mansion of the general soldier of Datong, which had been empty for almost a month, was now full of people, and the concierge's face was crooked.

Above the lobby, a group of civil officials and military generals of Datong Town gathered together, three people in a bunch of two people laughing in a group, and people kept walking in from outside the door, and whenever there were often several people to greet the past, laughing and greeting.

The concierge shouted loudly: "Lord Wu Rui, the acting chief military officer, has arrived~!" ”

The military attache didn't mention it, and immediately went to a large area, while the civil official just looked out of the door arrogantly, and had no intention of greeting him.

One person strode into the hall, it was the same Wu Rui that Xiao Yi had seen last night, he was inseparable from a few generals behind him, and he kept slapping horses along the way, this Wu Ruidao seemed to be very useful, and he was in a good mood.

After entering, Wu Rui first looked around the lobby, and after not seeing the person who called himself Xiao Yi last night, he made up his mind.

A general dressed in iron armor stepped forward with a smile, it was for Wei Gengzhong, a general on the middle road of Datong Town: "Congratulations to the military gate, the saint actually issued a holy decree, this is a great honor!" ”

"That's it, it's really gratifying!"

Like everyone, Wu Rui had no doubt about his successor to the general army, and laughed.

After greeting for a while, suddenly there was another shout from the porter.

"Lord Futai has arrived~!!"

This attracted everyone's attention, and the civil and military officials in the hall immediately went to a large area, and the lobby, which was still a little crowded, seemed a little empty at this time.

Cai Jiahe looked at Wu Rui, who was wandering, and seemed to have long regarded the position of the military gate as his bag.

Seeing Cai Jiahe walking into the lobby with a group of civil officials Shi Shiran, Wu Rui hurriedly greeted him, bent down and said respectfully: "I would like to thank Lord Futai for recommending him in front of the saint. ”

Cai Jiahe walked away, nodded intentionally or unintentionally, and then never looked at Wu Rui again, and kept greeting those civil officials intentionally or unintentionally.

After a while, a commotion came from outside the door, and a person who looked like a eunuch accompanied three horsemen from the Beijing Division, followed by several Beijing officials dressed in big red officials, this group of people surrounded the eunuch at the head, and arrogantly walked into the hall of the General Soldier's Mansion.

glanced around the lobby, but saw a little white-faced general coming up a few steps, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law has a hard journey, and the last general is Wu Rui, the deputy chief military officer of Datong Town, let's pass on the decree quickly." ”

The eunuch glanced at Wu Rui, but he didn't care about whether he was a deputy chief soldier or not, he just turned his head to look at Cai Jiahe and asked, "Lord Cai, where is Xiao Yi?" Without Xiao Yi coming, this holy decree would not have been transmitted. ”

Hearing this, Cai Jiahe looked very surprised, pulled the eunuch to the side, and asked in a low voice: "What does my father-in-law mean by this, didn't the saint see Benfu's recital?" ”

The eunuch just glanced at Cai Jiahe, a little embarrassed: "Well, our family doesn't know about this." ”

Then he walked into the lobby a few steps, and said while looking around: "Hurry up and find Xiao Yi, otherwise we will delay the holy will, and our family will not be able to protect you." ”

"Xiao Yi is something, can't this holy decree be passed on without him!?"

Hearing this, all the civil and military officers in the hall nodded again and again, and everyone was dissatisfied, but this eunuch still looked like he didn't eat oil and salt, and glanced at Wu Rui: "Then what kind of thing are you Wu Rui, and you dare to compare with Xiao Junmen?" ”

After the eunuch finished speaking, an official from the accompanying military department came out of the ranks, looked around at the Datong civil and military forces in the field, and sneered: "Just rely on the crooked melons and cracked dates, and you want to be compared with Xiao Junmen, you really don't know the height of the sky!" ”

The official solemnly moved in the direction of the Jingshi and said, "Xiao Junmen's great victory at Linghe shook the world, and even the saint was full of praise for it, and I would like to advise you to wait or say little." ”

Hearing this, not only did Wu Rui's face sink instantly, but even Cai Jiahe's face was a little unbearable, and the rest of the civil and military officials were shocked, although there was anger in their expressions, but no one dared to say a word.

"Xiao Junmen...?"

"Could it be... Could it be..."

Cai Jiahe said to the military official: "Master Dong, don't talk so badly, Xiao Yi is afraid that he won't be able to come!" ”

Hearing this, Dong Yong glanced at Cai Jiahe in surprise, opened his mouth, and didn't say anything.

Just then, the porter screamed.

"You guys, you can't go in, oops!"

After a cry of pain, the porter ran in with a bruised nose and swollen face, and before he could speak.

The sound of swift footsteps came from behind, and Xiao Yi, Huang Yang, Shi Lu, Shi Gang, Wang Dayong, and Liu Tong suddenly appeared in the lobby, all dressed in iron armor.

Wu Rui was suddenly dumbfounded, turned his head and glanced angrily at Ji Yong, the general of the West Road, behind him, who also had an unbelievable look on his face.

"He... How is this possible!? ”

"The end will be late, let the prince, Lord Dong and your colleagues wait for a long time, forgive your sins!"

It turned out that the eunuch who came here to deliver the decree was Wang Bao, and among the officials of several accompanying ministries naturally there was also Dong Yong, a squire of the military department.

After Wang Bao saw Xiao Yi, he changed his previous proud look, and actually took the initiative to come forward and greet Xiao Yi: "It's okay, it's okay, our house has just arrived, and it's still too late!" ”

Although Dong Yong was also pleasantly surprised, he still calmly bowed his hand to Xiao Yiyi, and said with a smile: "It's good to come, it's good to come!" ”

Cai Jiahe was shocked, and he was already a little jealous in his heart, could this Xiao also have a relationship in Beijing?

Actually familiar with the eunuch and the Beijing official who passed the decree!?

Wang Bao coughed lightly, and several Jingshi Tiqi behind him immediately stepped forward and stood majestically on both sides when they heard it, and the big knife in his hand was slammed to the ground.

Then I heard Wang Bao's shrill voice coming: "The holy decree has arrived, the Ulzhou guerrilla general of Datong Town, and the commander of the right guard of Datong, Xiao Yi, will receive the order!" ”

Ignoring the jaw-dropping eyes of everyone around them, Xiao Yi and Shi Gang immediately half-knelt on the ground, and the rest slowly knelt down, but the surprised discussion in them still couldn't stop.

Wang Bao unfolded the dark yellow scroll box, respectfully took out and unfolded the holy decree, and said in a loud voice: "Fengtian carries the emperor, the edict says: The Dongyu is arrogant, brazenly surround my Daling River, so that the army and the people are ruined, the temples are destroyed, and the people and gods are angry!" I heard that Xiao Yi, a guerrilla general on the East Road of Datong Town, led the Yongan Army to fight slaves and thieves in Changshan, and frustrated the captives, and I was very relieved! ”

“... Xiao Yi, a guerrilla general on the East Road of Datong Town, fought in Changshan, led the Yongan Army to defeat tens of thousands of Dongyu cavalry, beheaded more than 1,300 slaves and thieves, and opened the Linghe River to win the first wind, raising the prestige of our Chinese country in all directions, and so did my heart! He was promoted to the commander of the capital of Datong, served as the chief military officer of Datong Town, and gave a whole pair of golden-winged red-feathered tiger and leopard swords and golden helmets to strengthen his momentum..."

Wang Bao was a little shocked in his heart while announcing the decree.

“… Xiao Yi's Yong'an Army fought bravely and killed more than 1,000 people. I decreed: I still order the Yong'an Army, spread the word to all the people in all directions, all take the Yong'an Army as the strongest, and reward the emperor with 1,100 taels of silver, boasting about the merits of the streets, thinking that the army is strong! …”

After reading it, Wang Bao took a deep breath, handed the holy decree to Xiao Yi's hand, and said with a smile: "Our family is not talented, and we were ordered by the emperor to serve as the supervisor of this Datong Town, and we are really fortunate to help Xiao Junmen and Cai Futai." ”

After receiving the holy decree, Xiao Yi's heart was no longer as excited as the first time, but Shi Gang and the others were still excited, this was a holy decree, but it was not something that anyone could receive if they wanted to.

Although there is not much money in this house, they don't know what it is, but it must be a good thing!

Hearing Wang Bao's words, Xiao Yixin said Sure enough, Chongzhen still sent a prison army, but this Wang Bao is easier to deal with.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yi clasped his fists and said: "With Lord Wang's assistance, Xiao is very pleased. ”

Wang Bao was said by Xiao Yi's sentence 'Lord Wang' is light and fluttering, how to look at it and how pleasing to the eye, although he doesn't dare to take it, but he can't stop laughing.

At this point, Dong Yong, the squire of the Ministry of War, stepped forward a few steps, unfolded a volume of boxes, and read out: "Xiao Yi, the chief military officer of the military department of the military selection department of Datong Town, is cautious, loyal, and has made meritorious contributions to the country. ”

After speaking, Dong Yong looked at Xiao Yi with a smile and arched his hand: "The business is over, I have to take a good look at the current Datong Town, I can't say that I will come back in a few months, it will be another scene." ”

Xiao Yi naturally knew what Dong Yong was saying, but he just laughed and didn't say much.
