In the northeast in the evening, it is quiet and peaceful, and in the villages and towns in the distance, the smoke of cooking rises.

But apparently not everyone is in the mood to enjoy such a view.

The neighing of war horses, a team came from the official road of Linjiang, all of them were strong men on horseback, all of them were five big and three thick, with sharp eyes and agile skills, obviously not such a good character, they were all wearing ordinary clothes, at first glance they were the men who were waiting to drive the cart out of coolies, but if they were careful and had a little eyesight, they would never think that they were so ordinary.

They seemed to have been on the road for a day, and each of them had a look of exhaustion in their eyes and faces, but they still sat on their horses, and braced their bodies to straighten their waists.

This horse team, with as many as 100 people, is in the northeast where horses are produced, and a horse team of this scale is definitely not something that can be seen at any time.

By this point, their speed had slowly decreased, from galloping to slowing down, the war horse was also panting heavily, and the sweat on his body was steaming out, and a steaming white gas came out.

Surrounded in the center by these men was a young man in fine costumes, dressed in a fine fox fur, light and warm enough to withstand the cold, with a large leather fur hat on his head, like all the other knights, with a thick ointment on his face and a scarf over the outside to prevent cracking. In the Northeast, under such bitter cold, the cold wind is really like a knife, if you don't apply a thick ointment, you won't be able to cut your face to pieces, but it is a small wound.

This young man is Lian Zining.

Today, he led people to set off from Zhenyuan Mansion, and it has been a full six days, six days, and he has run more than 1,500 miles, which is almost equivalent to a distance of nearly 300 miles per day. After all, Lian Zining is a fairly large team, and when there are many people, the mobility ability will naturally decline, which is undoubted, and the winter march will inevitably be a little more difficult, and the horsepower is not allowed to run so wildly, so it is necessary to slow down and take a break. and you must not go on at night, lest you get lost.

Yes, it is lost, in this era, it is normal for the army to get lost, when Emperor Yongle conquered the north, the 500,000 army was lost.

Every day it is close to three hundred miles, this is already the result of sitting on a war horse for nearly ten hours every day, and the buttocks are grinding to the flesh and blood.

Lian Zining took off his leather gloves and reached out to touch the war horse under his crotch, it was wet and icy, and the sweat was already frozen, and he could clearly feel the war horse trembling for a while.

The knight's voice on the side came, but it was Chen Tong.

"My lord, it's getting late, find a place to rest, right? And further south, I'm afraid that the war horse won't be able to hold on. ”

"Hmm." Lian Zining nodded, tilted his head to the petite knight on the side, and asked, "Ye Na, where are you?" ”

It turned out that this knight turned out to be Ye Na, this time it was too hard, Lian Zining didn't want to bring her here, but Ye Nai said that he didn't do anything, and said one sentence over and over again: "It is my life to protect the adult, and I will never let the adult out of my sight." (.la Marshmallow)"

Later, Lian Zining was also in a hurry, and after reprimanding her twice, she stopped talking, but she followed Lian Zining wherever she went, and dragged the pitiful Rangzi with the corner of her clothes behind her to immediately soften Lian Zining's heart. I had to let her follow.

Ye Nai's surname he already knew that it was the kind of extreme ability to endure and suffer, and sure enough, Ye Nai did very well along the way, even better than him.

Ye Nai listened to Lian Zining's words, took out a small bamboo tube from his arms, opened the seal at both ends, took out a painting scroll from it, opened it, but it was a map, extremely fine, the entire outside the pass, from Shanhaiguan to the current Wuyi Army's forces can reach the North Hate Ancient River, more than 8,000 miles of ground, all included in it. The small black dots on it are the towns, and there is a red line specially marked out, this line is extremely long, from Zhenyuan Mansion to Jingshi, the line is dotted with countless small black dots, just like the pearls on the necklace.

Ye Nai frowned and looked at it for a while, and the slender jade finger was on a point, and said: "My lord, we have passed more than 100 miles through the big city of Zhubang and entered the Hu'er Haiwei of General Jianzhou, but less than two miles ahead, there is an inn we set up." ”

Lian Zining nodded and said, "Chen Tong, tell me to go down, and we will rest there for the night." ”

"Yes, sir!" Chen Tong gave the order, and everyone responded.

Less than two miles on, after descending a low hill, an inn appeared in everyone's field of vision.

This inn is not small, it is roughly two floors, it is about 20 zhang long, more than 10 zhang wide, the front is a large gate, and there is an adobe wall behind a large circle, obviously the space behind is larger. The location was very good, just by the side of the road, and when you got closer, you could see that the inn was built on an adobe platform on the side of the road, about two feet high, and there were three steps, and above it was a wall made of wood and adobe, where the wind and rain were blowing, and it looked quite old, and the wall showed a grayish-black color.

It looks no different from the inn in Kannai, but it is more rough, sturdy, heavy, and it is made of large wood, which has a sense of solidity and reliability, and even in the heavy snowstorm in this northeast winter, it can stand tall.

In front of the inn, there is a wine flag, waving in the wind, and on the main entrance, a rough plaque that seems to be nailed with logs, and the four big characters of 'Yao Ji Inn' are hastily written on it, which is also a little old.

In the middle of winter at this time, few people are in a hurry, so it seems that the business of this inn is not very good, the door is empty, seeing this column of cavalry coming, there are Xiao Er hurriedly opened the curtain and walked out, it is a smile on his face to greet him, and greeted with a smile: "Yo, the old guest is coming, come in quickly, come in quickly, we have already prepared hot soup and hot water here, go in and drink hot tea, eat a few mouthfuls of hot rice, and then soak your feet in hot water, drink, comfortable!" It's a cold day today, I'm afraid the gentlemen are all frozen, right? Staying in a hotel or tapping? ”

Lian Zining looked at it and nodded slightly, this is what it looks like to do business seriously, only if these strongholds are really the same as inns, that is to be concealed and not to provoke suspicion.

"Stay!" Although Chen Tong is not very old, he is often sent out by Lian Zining to walk outside, he is very old-fashioned, and with a shake of his hand, a piece of silver is thrown over: "Look, you guys are not very busy here today, and we will free up thirty upper rooms, and the money is easy to say." ”

"Gotcha!" The little two took the silver cake, put it in his mouth and bit it, he is the old and slippery character in the market, as soon as he started it, he knew that this silver cake had to be three or two times, and he was secretly happy in his heart.

He turned around and said hello, and a dozen or so waiters came out of it, beckoned everyone to dismount, and led the horses behind. (.la marshmallow)

Chen Tong greeted: "Our horse is expensive, and we serve better, we all want eggs and soybeans to live, and then we can take care of our hair, and the money is not bad for you." ”

Those guys knew that he was making a bold move, and they quickly responded with a smile.

The group entered, lifted the heavy curtain and closed it, and suddenly felt a hot breath coming to the face, mixed with the aroma of wine and meat, the smell of sweat, the smell of stinky feet, and a coaxing breath, but compared to the cold outside, it made people feel extraordinarily comfortable.

The lobby area is quite wide, enough to accommodate more than 100 tables, but this scene, there are indeed few guests, Lian Zining took a look, there are only three tables of guests eating, it is a bit depressed.

Behind the counter, the jar was stacked high, two feet high, and the boss was napping behind the counter with his chin in one hand.

Hearing the movement, he quickly shook his head and greeted him, and when he saw Lian Zining and the others clearly, he was immediately stunned, and when his eyes fell on Lian Zining's face, he almost stared out his eyes.

Chen Tong stepped forward and said with a smile: "Boss, we are all tired all the way, so we will go up directly to rest, you send hot water first, and the food will be sent directly." ”

The boss came back to his senses, and quickly nodded yes, Chen Tong stepped forward, pretended to order food and pulled him aside, his left hand moved slightly, and a piece of the waist card was exposed, and the words "Chen Tong, the cavalry of the Wuyi Army's pro-military battalion and the captain of Xuanjie in 100 households" jumped into the eyes of the boss. The boss was also from the military, and his instinct was to kneel down and salute, but he was stopped by Chen Tong and shouted in a low voice: "Why are you so unstable?" ”

The boss was startled, and the cold sweat on his face came down, and he hurriedly whispered: "The last general knows his mistake, and please punish the adult." ”

Chen Tong said lightly: "After all, your identity is different now, but you have to pay attention to these things, and let people see what is wrong." ”

The boss hurriedly responded.

Chen Tong raised his chin slightly: "I saw your look just now, that big man, do you know?" ”

The boss said: "The parade said, take a look at it from a distance." ”

"Hmm." Chen Tong looked at him and said in a low voice: "What should I do, I don't need to say, you should know it yourself, and go get busy, hot water and hot rice are served, the lord ordered, after an hour, go and knock." ”

"Huh? Yes? The last will obey! The boss was stunned for a moment, and then he responded with excitement on his face, and he was a little trembling with joy, and said in his heart that he really had a great creation, and how could he see it with such an identity as an adult? It's pretty much the same from a distance.

Lian Zining and his entourage went up, the first floor is the lobby, but the second floor is a long corridor, there are rooms in all directions, you can see the situation below on the corridor, this store is huge, and there are a lot of rooms inside. Lian Zining lives, it is undoubtedly the best in the upper room, the location is in the middle, not disturbed, this shopkeeper is also a caring person, and the guys clean it is extremely clean. The room is also plain wood, not a luxury, at least compared with Lian Zining has lived, but it is very clean, a little dusty, a screen separates the inside and outside.

Ye Nai is naturally in the same room as Lian Zining, the two of them just came in with their front feet, and the guy behind them brought hot water.

The first thing Lian Zining did was to wash away the thick oil on his face, he didn't even wipe any skin care products in his previous life, he would rather have rough skin, and his face was coated with a thick layer of oil, he only felt disgusting, but he had to do it.

After washing his face, a few young men hummed and carried a large wooden basin up, which was filled with hot water, and when asked, he said that it was for bathing for old guests, and this shopkeeper also had eyes.

Lian Zining was also uncomfortable after a few servants, so Ye Nai waited for him to take a bath, washed his hair, and changed into a cotton hat with fluttering sleeves, only feeling refreshing and comfortable.

Ye Nai also washed it, Lian Zining reached out and twisted her tender face with a little water droplets, and sighed: "It's really bitter for you." ”

"Follow the adults, it's not bitter at all." Ye Na smiled sweetly: "Since I was a child, I have suffered a lot, but now it is sweet." ”

Lian Zining knew what she was talking about, at this time, Fusang's training for ninjas, generals and other status people was extremely cruel, and there was no one in ten who could survive. Nona seems to be weak, but in fact, she has experienced a lot of cruel scenes, far stronger than she seems.

The two of them kept warm for a while, and the meal was delivered.

They are all home-cooked dishes, but they are made with a lot of oil and salt, and they are full of taste, which is very much in line with Lian Zining's appetite. He is the kind of person who will never hesitate once he has made a decision, and he will never make more unnecessary inferences.

After a while, there was a knock on the door, but Chen Tong led the boss in, and after the boss came in, he knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times respectfully, and said, "The last general, Su Sheng, knock to see the lord!" My lord, martial arts are prosperous! ”

"Hehe, I've borrowed your good words." Lian Zining smiled slightly: "Your name is Su Sheng?" What year did you join the army? What is the status in MI6? ”

Su Sheng said: "If you go back to your lordship, Zhengde has been in Le X Ling X County for 50 years, and the last general will be from Ningjin County, Shandong. From the great city of Zhubang to the south, all the way to the neighboring Hewei, which is more than 1,000 miles, the twelve post stations are all under the management and control of the last general. ”

"Well, I see, you're doing a good job. He's a guy who can get things done. Lian Zining said approvingly.

Su Sheng was overjoyed in his heart, and he was recognized by the adults, but he only felt that the sins he suffered in this place, and the grievances and boredom in the heart of the innkeeper who were transferred from MI6 to this place were all gone. He also understands that although the adult's evaluation is only a few words, it will at least make his career ten times smoother!

Su Sheng was very colorful, and said a few more words, and when he saw that Lian Zining was a little tired, he said goodbye, at this time, suddenly there was a noisy sound downstairs, and then he heard a somewhat weak voice shouting: "Boss, bring me two catties of braised beef and cut it, a pot of hot wine, and then change horses." ”

Lian Zining's heart moved, he went out of the door, stood on the railing and looked down, and saw a man in a gray cotton jacket sitting on a bench panting heavily, pouring hot tea, although he was extremely tired, but some things in his bones could not be erased.

Chen Tong said in a low voice: "It's our people." ”

"Bring him up." Lian Zining gave an order and entered the room by himself.

Only Ye Nai found that Lian Zining's lips were tightly pursed, which was a sign of nervousness in his heart.

After a while, the man was brought up, and Chen Tong smiled bitterly: "My lord, the last general originally wanted this brother to rest, but he didn't say anything, and he had to see you." ”

The man was about to kneel down and kowtow, but Lian Zining quickly helped him up, and said warmly: "You have worked hard all the way, go down and rest quickly!" ”

The man had a grateful look on his face, and hurriedly responded, Lian Zining asked a few more words, and learned that he had set off ten days later than the last letter he received.

If it is still about Kou Baimen, this means that within these five days, a great change has occurred, and if you add the reaction time of the distance between Yanshan and the capital, it is likely that there will be a change within five or six days.

The ribbon tied on the outside of the bamboo tube was still red, and Lian Zining's eyes shrank slightly, it seemed that things were not getting better.

He closed the door, opened the bamboo tube, and read the letter carefully, from beginning to end.

And then the whole person froze there. His hands trembled slightly, and Ye Nai could see that large cold sweat seeped out of Lian Zining's forehead, and his face was very gray, just like those seriously ill old men, he was lying on the chair, his eyes slightly closed, and he didn't say a word.

Neither angry nor manic, the whole person seemed to be so calm.

But Ye Na was frightened to find that she saw an emotion in Lian Zining that she had never seen before, this emotion, called - despair!

This has never been done before in adults.

"It's over!"

At this moment, Lian Zining's mind is full of these two words.

The letter was still written by Qing Lan, with only a hundred words, and it strictly explained what happened: King Yong instructed the courtiers to impeach King Lu, and above the court, the emperor ordered the Jinyi guard to investigate strictly, but to no avail. And a few said, King Lu played, said that there is a woman under his door called Li Xiangjun, is a daughter of a good family in Baoding, because of the war in the Beijing Division, in the Lu Wangfu for the weaver girl, this woman is very talented, in the palace to check and see, the talent is excellent, King Lu said that the emperor is seriously ill at the beginning of the recovery, should be happy, so this woman is offered.

According to Dai Qinglan's visit, the so-called Li Xiangjun is actually Kou Baimen.

and attached a petition for sin, saying that if it wasn't for the idea of the concubine, Kou Baimen would not be like this, please punish the husband.

Lian Zining really had only despair in his heart at the moment, as soon as he entered the Hou Gate, it was as deep as the sea, not to mention the Jun Gate?

Originally, although Lian Zining was angry in his heart, he was still very sure to rescue Kou Baimen, after all, his power in the capital, both openly and secretly, was also extremely strong, whether it was a forcible captive or a thief, it was not difficult to get a person out of King Lu's mansion, and more importantly, even if King Lu found out that Kou Baimen was gone, he didn't dare to say anything, after all, his methods were not very bright, and he was the most disadvantageous person in this matter.

But now, once Kou Baimen enters the palace, unless she is a rebel, otherwise, she can only watch her in the deep palace and suffer all her life.

And rebellion, is it so easy to make?

As for the blame for Qinglan, Lian Zining didn't have it at all, he was not the kind of person who was so angry with others, Qinglan's approach at that time could be said to be the most correct, and this situation could only be said to be unexpected, creating and making people.

"But I'm not reconciled! I'm not reconciled! My woman, why is she so handed! And it's still that bad old man of Zhengde! Why, I'm not reconciled! ”

A voice suddenly roared manically, shouting angrily in Lian Zining's heart, his fists suddenly clenched, his eyes opened, and they became red: "No matter what, I want to see her, listen to her heart, as long as she is willing to follow me, it is for her, to pierce a hole in this day, what can I do?" ”

———————— Dividing Line————————

People, people everywhere!

Fire, fire everywhere!

Everywhere the eye can see, there are people, in the night, in the scorching firelight, like a black tide, seemingly endless, they are dressed in ragged clothes, holding sticks, wooden sticks, nail rakes, hammers, kitchen knives and other rudimentary weapons in their hands, they look like farmers who are digging in the field, but their eyes are full of violence and greed, their faces are full of hideousness, more than the thugs.

That's a madness that wants to destroy everything!

Niu Evil, a vicious warrior killed on the battlefield, every time he comes into contact with such eyes, he can't help but feel a chill in his heart.

He drew the saber from his waist and slashed it so hard that there was an extra bloody cut in the neck of the mob who was smashing his hoe at him, and blood splattered out of his chest because of the tremendous squeezing force in his chest. The mob dropped his hoe and instinctively reached out to cover the wound, but the blood could not be stopped, and blood foamed from his mouth. He suddenly felt that his throat, which had been hoarse and dry for a long time, became cool, and a sudden feeling of enlightenment seemed to rush from his throat to the sky like a fountain, and the sky in front of him was first very yellow, then red, and then boundless darkness.

The mob lay on the ground clutching his throat and died.

Then in the next moment, countless pairs of big feet stomped him on the ground, trampled on the flesh and broke bones, and then brandished the weapon in his hand and killed the knight on the horse.
