A month and a half later, on the official road at the foot of Yangfangbao Mountain in Shanxi, Tianlu was dressed in a cloth robe, dressed as a black-faced scribe with three locks of long beard and a green shirt and scarf, and was slowly walking on the official road.

It was the middle of winter, there were few pedestrians on the road, half a year ago, the corpses of starvation that could be seen everywhere on the roadside had been buried, and the newly added graves could be seen everywhere on both sides of the avenue, a few crows landed on the graves, and the world was a white and vast killing atmosphere, which made people feel extremely desolate.

Heavenly wolf came all the way, the mood was heavy, after I replied to withdraw from the army, the imperial court in order to strengthen the defense of Shanxi Datong, allocated a lot of money and grain to come here, the summer of the Yan zhòng famine was temporarily controlled, but the people in Shanxi are still living very hard, the court officials in the name of searching for the White Lotus Sect remnants, villages and towns extortion, many people finally received a little relief food, and robbed a lot, the wolf passed through more than a dozen villages and towns, everywhere there are crying, For the people of Shanxi, this is another sad year.

The tyranny of the government is the best cover for the White Lotus cultists, and the heavenly wolf has traveled all the way, and you can see that many people have just grabbed food for the government on the front foot, and some unknown people are distributing food in the village on the back foot, and many of them are cured bacon, don't think about it, these are the White Lotus disciples buying people's hearts.

The Heavenly Wolf had also followed and captured two White Lotus Sectists who distributed food, but these two people had very hard mouths, and as soon as they fell into the hands of the Heavenly Wolf, they took poison and committed suicide, and they didn't say a word, which made the Heavenly Wolf feel annoyed, and couldn't help but sigh at the tightness of the White Lotus Sect's organization. The success of the brainwashing is thorough.

Before the Heavenly Wolf came out this time, he stayed in the exclusive courtyard of Lu Bing's headquarters in the Jinyiwei headquarters in the capital for about a month, and Lu Bing would come to see him once every three days. Leaving three days of bread and jerky, obviously Lu Bing didn't want other outsiders to take the opportunity to find out the secret of the Thirteenth Taibao's horizontal practice, so the entire courtyard was not allowed to be approached, and he also specially instructed the heavenly wolf that if someone trespassed, he would not leave a living mouth.

Fortunately, Lu Bing's majesty and terrifyingness are well known, and no one has dared to enter that courtyard in the past month. The cultivation speed of the Heavenly Wolf was very fast, and he had reached the third layer around the tenth day, and the Yin Qi in his body was basically completely expelled. The next twenty days were just practicing the Thirteenth Taibao horizontal practice, while waiting for the news of Qiu Luan's return to Beijing.

It's just that the news that came at the end slightly disappointed Tianluo and Lu Bing, and Yan Song strongly opposed Qiu Luan's entry into Beijing, under the pretext that the current situation at the border is tense. Shanxi is still inseparable from Qiu Luan for the time being. Therefore, the mention of Xu Jie and other Qingliu ministers was dismissed, and Qiu Luan was temporarily appointed as the general of Pingyu to guard Xuanda, responsible for the defense of the Mongol army.

The matter of Altan Khan sending an envoy to ask for tribute is also as follows. At that time, Altan Khan was stationed in Miyun, still threatening the Jingshi, and Emperor Jiajing asked Ji Qunchen, although Zhao Zhenji and Shen Lian both righteously expressed their intention to resolutely resist and not open the border market. But after all, the Mongol army pressed the border, and it was not a few days later. Emperor Jiajing had to convene a court meeting again to discuss the matter, and bluntly asked Yan Song to express his position.

The cunning Yan Song said that this kind of foreign affairs should be in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and Xu Jie, who was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites at the time, was in charge, and his intentions could be described as sinister and abnormal, but Xu Jie replied that it was inappropriate to talk about the tribute trade when the Tartar soldiers came to the city, and the alliance under the city could not be signed. This answer really made Emperor Jiajing very satisfied, so he summoned the Mongolian envoy to reply.

Altan Khan really from the Gubeikou customs, back to the Mongolian desert, after which Emperor Jiajing also reluctantly agreed to open a few markets, but only in Datong and Xuanfu town outside fifty miles selectively opened a few horse markets, twice a year transactions, both sides take what they need, the Ming Dynasty saved face, the Mongols are also initially opened the market, so the Ming and Mongolia briefly maintained peace.

It is precisely because of this that Yan Song wrote that the Mongolian wolf ambition has the possibility of invading again in the name of opening the market, and the border pass is not a general can not be guarded, so Qiu Luan stayed in Shanxi, and the index of entering Beijing is temporarily in vain, and the wolf can imagine Qiu Luan gritting his teeth every day for a while, scolding Yan's father and son.

The wolf traveled all the way, deliberately changing his appearance and changing his journey, just because he was afraid that Feng Wu would follow him again this time, for this girl, he was not only grateful in his heart, but he was ruthless, maybe keep a distance from her, so as not to let her fall deeper and deeper, it is a good thing for people and people, Lu Bing's words that day made him vigilant, if he left Jinyiwei in the future, if Feng Wu still cared about himself as he did now, then he might be killed.

On this day, the wolf came to the vicinity of Yangfang Fort that he had been to last time, and many White Lotus Sect members in Shanxi have been moving around recently, but because the people are all interested in the White Lotus Sect, it is difficult for a foreigner like him to find out the information, he thought of the three owners of Yangfang Fort who were let go last time, maybe they can revisit the old place, and they can also meet them, these three people have been operating here for many years, and their local connections are much stronger than themselves, relying on this kind of locals, they may be able to find out some of the inside information of the White Lotus Sect.

Unconsciously, the wolf walked on the passage into the mountain, although he only stayed here for half a day, but he was deeply impressed, thinking of the tragic battle that night, the heinous methods of the White Lotus Sect, and the regret that he didn't have time to save people in the end, just like yesterday.

Along the way, the mountain road is still narrow, the bluestone steps are already covered with snow, it seems that no one has been here recently, the wolf was halfway through and wanted to go back, but after thinking about it, he still went up to take a look, and then turned back again.

The three walled gates that started from the halfway up the mountain have been completely destroyed in the last White Lotus Sect's attack on the mountain, the heavy wooden gate has been crooked, and there are still a lot of feather arrows nailed to the fence and horizontal fence of the gate, and the broken knives and broken guns on the ground are everywhere, which shows the tragic situation of the battle at that time, and it is strange that there is no corpse exposed outside.

Heavenly Wolf's heart moved, when the White Lotus Sect retreated that day, because it was going to attack Tiejiazhuang, it left quickly, at most he only brought back the corpses of his own people and living prisoners, and the minions of Yangfang Fort and the corpses of those boxing masters did not have time to be transported away at all, let alone buried, and the government was naturally too lazy to care about the life and death of these green forest cottages, so who would come back to collect the corpses?

With this question, the wolf slowly walked to the peak, and as soon as he entered the square, he heard a bang, and dozens of men in animal skin jackets held sticks, knives and forks, and ran out from all around, and surrounded the wolf at once, and the leader was Yang Chun, Li Shuangquan and Lin Wuxing.

Sky Wolf looked at the hundreds of men around, only to see that they were all vain, although they were still a little strong, but obviously did not know martial arts, they were all ordinary crop men, and then looked closely, many people were quite familiar, it was the hungry people who had been caught and repaired when they went up the mountain before.

I only heard Yang Chun shouting in a deep voice: "Who are you, why did you trespass on our Yangfang Fort?" "He has always been full of red light, but now he looks like he has no essence in his eyes, after losing his martial arts last time, he has become an ordinary person, compared to these strong men around him, even his strength is quite inferior.

The wolf laughed: "I passed through the treasure land below, I just want to come up and take a look, why do you want to be so excited?" ”

Lin Wuxing snorted coldly: "This village has long been abandoned, and the people who still come here at this time must be spies from the White Lotus Sect, brothers, go up together and take this person down!"

There was a burst of noise from the surrounding strong men, but no one dared to step forward, obviously the last time the White Lotus Sect attacked at night, the cruel methods had already made these people frightened, even if there was only one person in front of them, they didn't dare to rush forward.

The Heavenly Wolf shook his head and said to Yang Chun and the others, "Three, have you forgotten the matter in Huo Mountain so quickly?" ”

Yang Chun's eyes widened in surprise all of a sudden: "You, who are you, how do you know about Huo Shan?" ”

The wolf had a little luck, the red qi around his body appeared, his eyes were slightly red, he stretched out his hand to make a claw, grabbed the void twice, and said with a smile: "Do you remember me?" (To be continued......)
