Yang Ling heard the call and looked back, only to see Han Youniang and Ma Li'er each holding an umbrella, walking towards him lightly across the courtyard. Ma Ling'er is still dressed in a white coat, and she is as pretty as the person in the painting.

Han Youniang is shorter than Ma Li'er, wearing a blue checkered skirt and a light pink bikini, although she is not as stunning as Ma Li'er, but her delicate face and gentle smile are as pretty and friendly as a little girl next door.

She carried a basket covered with a blue cloth, the umbrella was tilted to one side of the basket, and the other side was covered with snowflakes. Yang Ling hurriedly walked down the slow steps, first signaled to Ma Li'er, and then went up to take the basket in the young lady's hand, pulled her to the bottom of the porch, and while brushing the snowflakes on her forehead and shoulders, she asked, "What are you doing early in the morning with such heavy snow?" ”

Han Youniang took the umbrella, held her fingers that were slightly red from the cold, and smiled sweetly with her little nose wrinkled like spring water ripples: "Send food to Xianggong, I also boiled two eggs, Xianggong works hard, but you can't go hungry."

Yang Ling said angrily: "You, I'm still afraid of starvation in the post office?" He pulled the young lady, turned back to Ma Li'er and said, "Miss Ma, come into the house quickly, there is wind under the porch, be careful of the wind cold."

Ma Ang joined the army, from the civilian to the military, is to register with the county office, Ma Li'er saw that the snow is big, and wanted to change the name and go again. But when she saw that the young lady was going out, she followed her out and turned to the post office first.

At this time, seeing the sweet appearance of the young couple, Ma Li'er felt a little lost in her heart, she took off her hat, pulled back her hair that was softer than black satin, paused the snow on her boots, and silently followed into the house.

Yang Ling hurriedly finished eating, and as soon as he put down his chopsticks, the porter limped in, and saw that the wife of the new Yicheng and the daughter of the previous Yicheng were there, and he didn't dare to stay longer, so he hurriedly took out the letter he received yesterday and handed it over, and said with a smile: "My lord, this is a letter sent last night, and the person who came designated to hand it over to the adult."

Yang Ling didn't know who would write to him, so he took the letter and tore open the seal, only to notice that there was a strange fish pattern next to the fire paint seal on the back. Yang Ling couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, Jin Yiwei's secret letter? I saw that those have been taken apart yesterday, but I'm not afraid of anything. But he is not a person of Jinyiwei, and now he is indiscriminately opening Jinyiwei's secret letter, so as not to cause any trouble.

Now that the letter had been opened, he didn't bother to think about it, he pulled out the letter, hoping that it was a trivial matter, so that even if it was known, it would not be a big deal.

Yang Ling carefully read the contents of the letter, and immediately relieved himself, there was nothing confidential in the letter, but it was a great joy that could be made public, he hurriedly put the letter away, and said excitedly: "It turns out that the enemy chief killed by Lord Min the night before was the Tatar prince, and this time Lord Min has made a great contribution!" ”

He clapped his hands excitedly and said, "I'll go tell the adults now, young lady, you and Miss Ma will stay here for a while, and then go home when the snow is small."

Han Youniang nodded obediently, Yang Lingxing hurriedly walked out, Ma Li'er remembered something, and suddenly said: "Brother Yang, I'll go with you, my brother left in a hurry yesterday, I'll change his nationality for him."

Yang Ling did not allow it, and immediately beckoned the post office to bring another horse, and the two went straight to the county office. Min Xian Ling was lying on the kang to let Lang Zhong change the dressing, and after listening to the news brought by Yang Ling, first his mouth was wide enough to stuff an egg, and he stayed for a long time, and then he had to read the letter twice again, and then laughed like an old hen that only laid eggs.

He was afraid that the loud sound of laughter would crack the wound, so he laughed like this, but he didn't expect to laugh so forbearingly, and his body trembled even more.

Yang Ling saw that he was laughing painfully, and he felt funny, daring to be reckless also has the benefit of being reckless, who knew that this reckless man would take off this great credit with a knife?

Lord Min smiled and smiled, that smile suddenly condensed on his face, he thought about it for a while and changed color and said: "It's not good, Boyan Mengke's eldest son is a cripple, I heard that he has always valued this second prince Xu Lie Qi, and now his son has been killed by me, but the Tatar army retreats easily, it is really suspicious."

The army has just reported that our army has started looking for the enemy's traces in the early hours of this morning, if Bo Yan Meng can personally lead the army to avenge his son, it will be very bad, this news needs to be told to General He immediately, Master Yang, you quickly catch up with General He and tell him the news."

Yang Ling also knew that the matter was urgent, so he hurriedly agreed and hurriedly ran out. Ma Li'er sold her citizenship and was waiting for him in the front hall gatehouse, seeing that he hurriedly got on the horse with a hurry on his face, he hurriedly led the horse to follow, and asked, "Brother Yang, why are you so flustered?" ”

Yang Ling said loudly: "This morning, the army went to pursue the Tartars, since the former Min County ordered to kill the Tatar prince, I am afraid that the Tartars may not really retreat, if they have revenge, I am afraid that they will retreat as an advance, secretly set up an ambush, I will go to chase after General He, tell him the news" Saying that, Yang Ling turned his horse's head and went straight to Nancheng.

Ma Li'er turned over and got on the horse, circled around the spot twice, thinking that her brother was also in the army, if there was really a Tartar ambush, wouldn't it be safe to be in the chaos? She finally couldn't rest assured, whipped her horsewhip, and galloped towards Nancheng.

At this time, there were only some old and weak soldiers left in the camp outside the city, and Yang Ling asked Ming that the army had set off for an hour, and he was so anxious that he immediately chased along the muddy road that was trampled by the carts and horses of the army. It's just that the road outside the city is not as smooth as the road in the city, Yang Ling learned to ride a horse for the first time, nervously holding the reins of the horse and wheezing, but it was more tired than getting off the horse.

He ran more than a mile, heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and turned his head to see Ma Li'er also galloping towards him. She didn't know when she had taken off her coat, revealing a turquoise skirt and a fox fur vest on her upper body.

When the horse arrived, Yang Ling hurriedly said, "Miss Li'er, why are you here?" It's good that you're good at horsemanship, hurry up and stop the army in case of accidents."

Ma Li'er frowned slightly, and said: "The army behaves, how can you listen to me as a woman? Did you bring that secret letter? ”

Yang Ling patted his head and said, "Oops, I forgot about Lord Min."

Ma Li'er snorted coldly when she heard this, and suddenly reached out and pressed the horse's back, and her waist straightened, and she actually stood on the horse's back. The horse is still galloping, this riding skill is really good, Ma Li'er said to Yang Ling: "Release the reins of the horse, I will ride the horse."

Yang Ling threw away the reins of the horse in a daze, but she didn't know how to control it, only to see the two horses bridled, Ma Li'er jumped up, and landed in front of Yang Ling lightly and skillfully, and the soles of her boots knocked back and ordered: "Give me the horse kick."

Yang Ling withdrew his feet from the horse's pedals, only to feel that his body was unstable, and he hurriedly hugged Ma Li'er's slender waist. Ma Li'er was suddenly hugged by the man's waist, although she had been prepared, her back stiffened, and her abdomen tightened.

She took a long breath, picked up the reins as if nothing had happened, and said, "Hold it tight, I'll take you, Lord Yicheng, to see General He!" ”

Ma Li'er grew up outside the Saiwai, a very good horsemanship, these two people are very light, and together there is not a heavy armor soldier, the two of them have a horse and a double cross, not only does not affect the speed of the horse, but under her superb horse control skills, it runs faster and more smoothly.

At this time, General He's army had entered Wohu Mountain. The spies sent last night brought back information this morning: the Tartars had swept away the carts, horses, cattle and sheep in Erliban, Wulipu, and sent people to transport them back to Saiwai. However, the enemy still did not retreat, and after the defeat of Jimingyi, they retreated to Yumutun, and divided small forces to plunder the nearby villages and towns.

He Shen General couldn't help but be overjoyed to get accurate information, anyway, there was only one way from the front to the Jiming Station, and he was not afraid that he would be copied from the back road, so he set up a five-way army to brave the snow and gallop, wanting to give the Tartars a surprise attack.

In the words of the imperial envoy Ye, the snow is long, and the Tartars will not expect our army to arrive suddenly, in the past Li Yuxue entered Caizhou at night, and made immortal feats.

The army left the city for six miles, into the gourd valley, this valley is on both sides of the continuous high mountains, in the middle is a gourd-shaped valley, although General He Shen is earnest, in the end is not a recruit general, has not been carried away by utilitarianism, immediately ordered the army to suspend the advance, out of the exploration horse to go to the front to explore.

Seeing that General He couldn't stop the army, the imperial envoy Ye followed, and the horse whip pointed to the valley in front of him and said: "My lord, the mountains on both sides of the canyon in front are not in a hurry, the two sides are hundreds of zhang away from the top of the mountain, there is no shelter on the mountain, there is no way to hide the soldiers, if the Tartars set up an ambush on the mountain peak, the distance is so far, there is no threat to our army with bows, arrows, knives and guns, there is a gentle slope of hundreds of zhang, and it is difficult to play a role in rolling wood and stones, don't worry."

Gonggong Liu leaned out of the sedan car and looked around: "Well, although our family doesn't know about military affairs, but look at the bare mountains on this mountain, it is indeed impossible to hide people, surrounded by mountains on both sides, it is impossible for the Tartars to outflank the front and back, not to mention that the Tartars are less than us, how can we do it with less encirclement?" We can move forward with confidence."

General He smiled and said: "Hehe, what the two overseers said is that the general is just worried that this valley is narrow, and our army can only line up in a long snake, and there can be no echo before and after, if the Tartars set up an ambush in front, the follow-up soldiers and horses will not be able to gallop to help, and they will not be able to give full play to the advantages of the soldiers, which will inevitably cause large casualties, and it will not be too late to wait for the horses to find out the enemy's situation."

After half an hour, the four scouts returned one after another, but there were no enemy troops in front of them, and no chariots and horses were trampled in the snow in the valley. You must know that although the snow is very heavy now, if there is a large group of men and horses, it is impossible to hide all the footprints, General He Shen listened to it and immediately issued an order, asking the reserve army to speed up, quickly cross the valley, and go straight to Yumutun.

The 5,000-strong army listened to the order and continued to march, and the team was mighty, like a long dragon in the snow mountains. He Shijie He Dusi led the vanguard of the team, which can pass through the middle and rear sections of the gourd valley, and is about to walk out of the valley, and suddenly the front of the valley mouth "dong dong" war drums thundered, and the trees raised countless flags, at the same time, there was a bang bang on the slopes on both sides, and in an instant, countless figures appeared out of thin air on the white slopes, and the arrows flew together, and the carvings were all over the sky, which was more urgent than the snow.
