There were not many cavalry among the officers and soldiers guarding the key passes of the capital, and the Beijing division could not afford to raise so many idle and useless war horses.

The heavy snow was difficult to walk, they were so tired that the horses were neighing, and suddenly saw a few lonely figures on the road ahead, and the officers and soldiers hurriedly pulled their horses and knives, and cautiously approached, only then did they see that it was a few inner factory guards standing motionless in the snow.

Wu Hanchao and Liu Biao lost their souls, a dead tree in front of them was crushed by the heavy snow, across the road, the branches of the trees were like snow songs, of course the thieves could also go around the tree, but the snow was all over the sky, there was no trace on the road, such a blind horse, where to chase?

A hundred households in brocade clothes returned the embroidered spring knife to the sheath, and when he brought the reins of the horse closer, he recognized that there was a thousand households in front of him Liu Biao, and he hurriedly hugged his fists and saluted: "Lord Liu, can there be any trace of Yang Factory Governor?" ”

Liu Biao turned around and saw that there were more than 100 cavalry officers and soldiers behind him, he took a deep breath and shouted: "All disperse, a group of five, search around this place as the center, exchange news with each other, and immediately report back as soon as there is a clue from an adult, and you must not make decisions without permission."

The hundred households agreed, and ordered the Jinyi guards and horses to disperse into the wilderness quickly, and soon the follow-up people and horses arrived one after another, and they joined the search one after another. Yang Ling was taken into the wilderness a few miles away, the official boots on his feet were soaked in snow, the cowhide boots became heavy and heavy, deep and shallow, walking straight sweaty, heartbeat like a drum, suddenly saw several figures approaching in the wind and snow, Yang Ling slipped under his feet, and almost fell.

When several officers and soldiers in front saw a person, they also nervously raised their knives and guns and shouted, "What person? Hold it! Don't come close, come on, there's someone, there's someone! ”

Yang Ling froze down, and saw that those people were wearing tasseled hats, and they looked like officers and soldiers, and hurriedly shouted: "I am Yang Ling, which officer and soldier are you?" ”

The officers and soldiers approached in disbelief, looked up and down, and saw that his clothes were suddenly seven points of convincing, and several officers and soldiers couldn't help but shout excitedly: "Find Lord Yang, we have found Lord Yang."

The little captain who led the soldiers was excited and his face was flushed, the great achievement was in front of him, this was a big gift from God for the New Year, he was dressed neatly, walked two steps forward and saw it with a military salute, and said loudly: "Mark the Zhenwei battalion commander to congratulate the New Year, see the factory superintendent!" ”

Yang Ling smiled bitterly and said, "No courtesy, take the official back quickly, it's really unbearable."

The Wu commander hurriedly got up, and a strong soldier left and right to help Yang Ling to rush back, the news spread quickly, the officers and soldiers quickly gathered in this direction, when Wu Hanchao and Liu Biao heard the news, overjoyed to come, the people who helped Yang Ling had been replaced by Liu Benyuan and the general of the Zhenwu battalion.

Liu Biao's face was full of excitement, he stopped, glanced at Yang Ling, and then choked up: "Fortunately, the factory governor is safe and sound!" ”

Wu Hanchao walked in front of Yang Ling, glanced at it ashamedly, and then kneeled in the snow with the sleeves of his robe and hung his head silently.

Yang Ling is in a high position, but he does not have the habit of commanding and treating slaves as masters, which is also the difference between him and other officials. Although the art of controlling the subordinates has been the most expensive since ancient times, it is not the most expensive power, the emperor and the teacher, the king and the friend, and the country and the service.

However, in ancient times, the distinction between respect and inferiority was too strict, and it was difficult for even the generous officials to respect their subordinates, and the reward of wealth, fame and fortune was the main means, so Cheng did not know how to govern the army strictly, and everyone under his command served his 10,000 soldiers, while Li Guang was lenient and sparse, but his 5,000 men could be 50,000 people, and everyone worked hard every time they faced a war.

Yang Ling was able to bring together Wu Jie, Huang Qiyin, Yu Yong, and the three Dusi and Liu Yang of the Yuanshen Machine Battalion as confidants in a short period of time, and never gave up.

Speaking of which, Wu Han surpassed his martial arts, just joined the inner factory, and had no martial arts, but he had not yet realized the consciousness of being a bodyguard, and now seeing his ashamed and unkempt appearance, Yang Ling couldn't bear to be harsh.

He stepped forward to help Wu Hanchao up, and chuckled: "Open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to defend, don't blame yourself anymore." However, in the future, you must remember to fulfill your duties, not in your position, not in your government, you are my personal guard, protecting the official from harm is the first priority, catching the thief and handing it over to the yamen to deal with the case, if you come out like this again, the official does not hit your board, my wife is afraid that she will not give up."

Yang Ling's words were tolerant and generous, and there was Zhang Youchi, which made Wu Hanchao grateful, his lips were closed, he wanted to speak and stopped, and finally buried all the words of repentance and gratitude in his heart, without saying a word.

Yang Ling turned his head to Liu Biao and said, "Does Mrs. know about my business?" ”

Liu Biao has now calmed down the excitement when he first met, and he said with a smile: "Don't worry, Lord Wu and Lord Huang didn't dare to let the mansion know, I sent a letter to my wife saying that due to the war ahead and the approaching New Year of the Beijing Division, the palace affairs are busy, and these lords can't go back to the house."

Liu Biao said, while untying his own big coat and putting it on Yang Ling, he said: "My lord, the news has been reported to the city, my lord, hurry back to Beijing, so as not to worry the emperor." Those bad guys? ”

Yang Ling said: "There is no trace in the snow, where they fled is unknown, and when they turn around, they will be strictly arrested by the local government with pictures and graphics, and also, notify our people to pay attention to the suspicious characters that appear."

The thief Yang Hu came to Beijing, it was secretly induced by the Maitreya Sect, and finally the two sides had a fire again, this is obviously not as simple as trying to kill himself temporarily, although the red lady is unknown, Yang Ling also expected that there must be a conspiracy, but it is inconvenient to mention this to Liu Biao in public.

He vaguely said a few words about what he had been relieved, and then he saddled and mounted his horse surrounded by the crowd, and hurried back to the city. Liu Jin had already received the news, and while sending someone to report the good news to the emperor, he led someone to greet him in person.

Yang Ling entered the palace, the early dynasty has not ended, the eunuch on the station whispered to Zhengde, Zhengde heard the joy and color, hurriedly dealt with the official business, and immediately rushed to the Baohe Hall after resting the early dynasty.

As soon as Zhengde entered the main hall, Yang Ling, who was sitting next to the dragon and phoenix charcoal stove to keep warm, immediately stepped forward to salute, Zhengde raised his hand to hold him, looked him up and down, and smiled happily: "Okay, it's good to come back, these two are so worrying."

He pulled Yang Ling into the inner hall, sat on the kang, and smiled at Yang Ling, Liu Jin, Gu Dayong and others: "Sit down, all sit down, Yang Qing, the big thief in Naba Prefecture is not difficult for you, right?" ”

Xiao Huangmen moved into six or seven Jindun, Yang Ling and others apologized and sat down, Yang Ling saw that there were only a few of the eight tigers in the room, so he said: "Yes, the female thief took the minister captive, just to exchange her husband thief Yang Hu, and did not abuse the minister, and later knew that Yang Hu had escaped, so he threatened with the minister's surname, broke through the pass, and escaped."

Zhengde raised his eyebrows, and said eagerly: "Since ancient times, those who have violated the ban with martial arts, and those who dare to rob and kidnap important ministers of the imperial court in Beijing, are very few, this female thief has extraordinary courage and skills, and she can kidnap you in the middle of the city, she is the legendary snitch who can go high and high?" It makes me curious. ”

Yang Ling said: "Jumping high and low, like walking on the ground, even if it is not more than a zhang, the sword is less than three feet, it can be forbidden with martial arts, and the blood flows only five steps." The emperor cultivates the sword of the Son of Heaven, and he can reach him with his arms, thousands of miles away from the soldiers, and the edict is coming, affecting the life and death of people in the world, joy, anger and sorrow, what is there to envy? ”

Zhengde laughed and said: "What Aiqing said is that my inner guards also have such skills, what are the eight steps to catch cicadas and climb Ping to cross the water, I once asked them to climb the Taiji Hall with their bare hands, but none of them can climb it." ”

Yang Ling said: "Folk rumors always exaggerate their abilities, but these horse thieves use force to fight against Wang Fa, although they are not afraid, but now they have a force, and the emperor must not ignore it."

Zheng Deqi said: "What power? ”

Yang Ling said: "Maitreya Sect! They lie and confuse the public, and there are blind followers and blind believers. According to the words of the minister who eavesdropped on the gang of horse thieves in Bazhou, hundreds of thieves secretly went to the capital this time, and they were instructed by the Maitreya Sect, and the plan was obviously not only the minister's surname, but also the harm of the cult, which was worse than the martial artists who gathered in the mountains and forests, and the emperor must not be careless! ”

Since ancient times, the emperors were most afraid of these organizations that bewitched the people with cults, their power was intertwined, hidden in the people, if nothing happened, it was really difficult to distinguish between good people and believers, and when they got into trouble, they already had hundreds of thousands of believers, especially harmful to the imperial court, the Ming Dynasty started as a sect, and only broke away from them after the success, so the terrible power of religion is the most understood.

Zhengde smiled when he heard this, and said movingly: "Maitreya Sect? When they preached in Shaanxi, they fought for attachment from far and near, with their rich and poor, and the foolish people had to sacrifice thousands of gold, and they were willing to break their families, or children, or utensils, one after another, and the leader gave an order, and they could gather thousands of gold overnight, and the villagers from near and far all followed, which was really a big trouble for the court.

However, after that Li Yue was beheaded, the trees fell and scattered, and the government and the opposition could no longer smell the traces of Maitreya, could they still be active? ”

Yang Ling said: "Yes, Maitreya and White Lotus are originally a family, since the end of the Tang Dynasty and the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the Han people are anti-Han, and the Yuan people are anti-Yuan. Every time they are hit, they will be reduced to zero, turn light into darkness, and hide in the shadows to accumulate strength Xu Tu will make a comeback, according to the ministers' opinion, their strength is not enough to fight against the imperial court, so they fake others, disrupt the government and disturb the people."

Zhengde stood up, Yang Ling, Liu Jin and others hurriedly followed suit, Zhengde paced slowly in the hall for a moment, pointed at Gu Dayong and said: "Dayong, this matter is handed over to you, gather the power of the East Factory, the West Factory, and Jinyi Guard, secretly detect the Maitreya Sect, and be sure to eradicate their roots."

Gu Dayong hurriedly agreed, Zhengde pondered for a moment, waved his hand, and said, "You guys retreat, Yang Qing stays."

After everyone withdrew from the hall, Zhengde hurriedly said to Yang Ling: "Yang Qing, the White Lotus Sect has been in the same vein for hundreds of years, and it has always been inexhaustible.

When the emperor was in his presence, he often said that the people were either rich and noble, or immortal, and many of them were good, and not all of them were people who plotted rebellion. If the plant is too wide, it will hurt the root of the Ming Dynasty, and it will remove its first evil, and it will be like seeing flowers in the fog. The Ming Dynasty has been exterminating cults since its establishment, and I don't know how long it will take to suppress them.

If this matter is in a hurry, just leave it to the two factories and one bathroom. Your inner factory still has to pay attention to the Datong war and prepare for my trip to the north."

Yang Ling hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, the minister was robbed by a big thief, in order to make people uneasy, the emperor is out of Beijing at this time, I am afraid that the hundred officials are even more frightened, if not, it is better to secretly inform Duoyan Sanwei, when the ministers are effective in eliminating bandits and cracking down on cults, how about the emperor start again?" ”

Zhengde has the joy of going out of Beijing, it is really happier than the New Year, where can he listen to it, he said disapprovingly: "Earlier said that the alliance with Duoyan Sanwei, and the border pass earlier said that there were fewer disasters, this is a major matter of the country, I am the king of a country, how can I be afraid of a gang of thieves?" The people's hearts are unstable, the face of the court is damaged, and I want to go out of Beijing! ”

He said with a fluttering eyebrow: "When I return to Beijing from the scenery of the border pass, the people's will will be settled, if I don't even dare to set foot on my own territory, I will really lose face." Can they rob Aiqing from the three or five guards, and they can injure me among thousands of armor soldiers? If they have that ability, they can break into the palace and rob me, and I should give up this country, and hide in the Forbidden City. ”

Yang Ling said with a wry smile: "It is the wish of the minister to want the emperor to go out of Beijing, personally go to the border passes, inspect the people's feelings, make friends with vassals, and be a saint for the ages, but the emperor is tied to the world, and the minister is really unrelieved."

Zhengde said with a grinning face: "The palpitations will slowly disappear before they disappear, this capital is still going to come out, I will bring three hundred internal guards, and then you have thousands of iron armor, but I want to see who else can hurt me."

When he said this, he suddenly remembered something, and said diligently: "By the way, Yang Qing really has a unique vision, a few days ago, some officials wrote to accuse Yang Yiqing and Wang Shouren of supporting 100,000 soldiers, but they closed the city and let the Tartars rage arrogantly and outside the city, but Aiqing said that they must have a plan for this move, and I didn't give an order to urge him to send troops after listening to it, but only forwarded the impeachment to Yang Yiqing, and asked him to refute it.

Yesterday, it was said that Yang Yiqing's fold had been handed into Beijing, and they really had other plans, hehe, these two people have a lot of appetite", Zhengde said while rummaging through the kang table, and did not find the fold, so he said: "The Tartars have always fed the war with war, and they do not bring nourishment, in fact, they have no supplies to bring, so the war must be like a storm, so that one blow must be hit, and the purpose will be turned to attack elsewhere, but it will take too long to not be in one place."

This time they attacked the city and plundered a large amount of money and grain, but Yang Yiqing did not give him a chance to escape, and bit them to the left, and consumed them near Datong, with an army of 70,000 Tartars, who were fed by people and horses, and now they have all the things they have stolen from us.

This year, they sent troops to plunder, not only could not provide supplies to the tribes, but also used up their food stocks when they sent out their troops, and when they returned, they were afraid that they would have to kill cattle and horses to survive the harsh winter, and their vitality would be greatly damaged. This Yang Yiqing not only thinks about the present, but also has such a long-term vision, and he is really a general.

The first two said that Wang Shouren guarded the official tun, after a hard battle, he threw away his helmet and armor, deliberately defeated and fled, leaving the grain and straw to the tartars, those hungry soldiers hurriedly buried the pot to make rice, ate a meal, and poisoned more than 5,000 people, even the war horse ate the poisonous forage and died most of it, that is the elite of Boyan, haha, you can defeat the enemy army without spending soldiers, I like this kind of battle! ”

"Alas, I just don't know if Boyan Meng vomited blood after hearing about it, and turned around and asked your people to inquire", Zhengde was very happy, patted Yang Ling on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Yang Ling was also very happy when he heard this, and said: "Such a great achievement, the emperor should be rewarded for his good life, and it is not easy to use soldiers on the battlefield for generals, with the emperor's reward, the morale is high, and one soldier is worth two soldiers."

"Ahh Zhengde patted his forehead and said: "I originally wanted to be rewarded, Liu Jin said that he won the first battle, if it is a big reward, I am afraid that the soldiers will breed arrogance, so I will put it aside, is this reward okay now?" ”

Yang Ling was stunned when he heard this, and expected that Liu Jin was extremely dissatisfied with Yang Yiqing and the others, although the use of troops was closely related to him, and he had to do his best to do a good job in logistics, but he did not want the two to be praised.

Yang Ling didn't answer directly, but said with a smile: "If there is merit, it will be rewarded, and if there is a fault, it will be punished, when the city will be kind, when will it be strict, the emperor must be confident, if the emperor is a general with troops, what will he hope for?" ”

Zhengde didn't think about it, and said confidently: "I? I have made a great contribution, of course, I want to be rewarded, I want to be promoted, I want to be knighted, I want to praise the horse and parade the streets, the scenery, otherwise who will work for you? I promised, and neither did my soldiers."

He suddenly stopped his mouth, glanced at Yang Ling with a smile, punched him affectionately in the chest, and said with a smile: "Talking around the bend, Yang Shiyu has abducted me in."

Zhengde thought for a while and said: "Then reward, it's the New Year, the soldiers are in front of the life, don't reward for this, just go back and ask Li Dongyang and Jiao Fang to do it." By the way, Yang Yiqing and Wang Shouren's joint recital also mentioned that the vitality of the Tatars was greatly damaged, they live on nomadic herding, do not practice farming, and consume too many cattle and sheep this winter, I am afraid that the spring will also change the habits of previous years, and they will continue to attack the border, they suggest that I should still garrison heavy troops and border fortresses, if the Tatars attack the border do not gain, I am afraid that they will have to put pressure on Duoyan Sanwei to ask for money, and propose that I show favor to Duoyan Sanwei, which is similar to your proposal."

Yang Ling said thoughtfully: "Well, they are in front, naturally see clearly, think far, next year Tatar attack the border, just in line with my wishes, the emperor just took the opportunity to constantly transfer the Beijing camp and the border army, let them take turns to go to the battlefield to experience, borrow the hands of the Tatars, train our Ming soldiers."

As for Duoyan Sanwei, this was originally an opportunity to lower their chips and force them to move closer to the imperial court, but they were mercenary, vacillating between the Ming and Tatars, fishing in troubled waters, and from time to time when they were friendly in the past, they also raided the border in small groups from time to time, and they were never really submissive, and the alliance was just an expedient measure, and a large area of land in Liaodong had to be controlled by the imperial court sooner or later, so they could not be suppressed because of this.

If you want to take it, you must first deal with it, they have horses, we have grain, oil and salt, cloth, silk, not only can the benefits not be less, but you can also give them more, increase the exchange rate of war horses and grain and oil, the richer they are, the less they will care about the Tatars, and the more the Tatars will be red-eyed, and then the opportunity for the court will come. ”

Zhengde seems to have a natural interest in being abducted and deceived into being a robber, and he does not have the consciousness of the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty at all, and after listening to Yang Ling's 'insidious and despicable' strategy, he can't help but nod his head and say yes again and again.

The New Year is approaching, for a big thief full of soldiers and armor scene to damage the ability and prestige of the imperial court to control the world, if it is not a last resort, it is really not appropriate to be so nervous, the red lady has fled from the Beijing Division, Li Dongyang asked Zhengde to withdraw the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp, and the Beijing Division seems to have returned to the calm and prosperous situation of the past.

The Criminal Department immediately made public the writings of all prefectures and provinces, and wanted the thieves Yang Hu and the Red Lady.

Li Dongyang also asked Zhengde for an order to withdraw the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp, and the Beijing division seemed to have returned to the calm and prosperous situation of the past, but the army of the imperial court to sweep the green forests of Bazhou had quietly set off.

In winter, the gains of using troops against the bandits outweighed the losses, but what Yang Hu and his wife did greatly damaged the face of the court, and Liu Daxia did not dare to disobey the holy decree in this situation, so he had to secretly instruct the generals to suppress and use them, and use locks instead of attacks, and they were not allowed to enter the mountain easily.

The corpse behind the Taoist temple in the dilapidated alley of Beicheng has been found by the officials of the criminal department to explore the scene, and the token of Maitreya has been found on the corpse, which confirms Yang Ling's assertion.

It's almost the New Year, three days in advance is the period of the imperial court's 'rest', the king does not listen to the government, some foreign officials also take leave to go back for the New Year, the whole world celebrates, even the Beijing division allows beggars to beg for food in the city, the curfew is canceled, and the servants of the five cities of the Soldiers and Horses Division Yamen are also less arrogant, and they no longer beat the pedestrians who make mistakes.

In the first two days, the heavy snow collapsed the houses of some ordinary people in the north and west cities, and the household department sent servants to repair them or subsidize some money, which was the practice of the imperial court, and the government in various places was like this, and no one dared to violate it.

Women who usually don't go out of the door can also go out for a stroll, go to the temple to burn incense, go to the bazaar to buy some rouge gouache, auspicious New Year paintings, and things that women like.

Yang Ling returned to the mansion, but he still didn't dare to reveal the slightest tone about the abduction, and saw that the children of the family were excited to go to the street, and it was not good to break their heads on the New Year's Festival, so they had to secretly ask the guards of the inner factory. This time, he didn't dare to be careless, the forty plainclothes fans were all men who knew some kung fu in the rivers and lakes, carrying short crossbows and short firearms, accompanying several ladies and Gao Wenxin and Cheng Qiyun.

The officials who stayed in Beijing had to participate in the imperial court ceremony, and as the head of the family, they had to preside over the family's New Year's arrangements, and everyone was busy. Yang Ling was even busier, he was so busy that he didn't even have the time to accompany the three ladies to the street, he was running around in the three factories and one guard and the twelve regiment battalions, purging the army, inspecting his life experience, choosing the elite, taking the inner factory as the main force, and selecting the elite soldiers who accompanied the emperor to the north, of course, all this was done in secret, and Liao Liao, who knew his purpose.

The emperor's personal guards have their own masters, and the elites selected by Yang Ling are all brave, all of them are one in a hundred men, and with such elites to form a team of 5,000 people, it is enough to make any army look sideways.

Yang Ling is dressed in soft armor, and he is also heavily guarded when entering and exiting the city, Wu Han is beyond his reputation, he disdains to use hidden weapons, and he has suffered a big loss since the last time, and now in addition to carrying a sword, he is also equipped with two money darts, and Yang Ling is like a shadow, not leaving an inch, and the periphery is supplemented by twelve light and dark fans, which can be described as impervious to protection.

Five hundred female swordsmen are guarded, two thousand internal supervisors are on duty, plus the accompanying officers and warriors, the inner guards, and there are several disciples of Shuiyun Nunnery, and there are several disciples of Shuiyun Shitai, and the inner court Xiyuan enshrines the Taoist priests of the Longhu Mountain Zhengyi faction recommended by Tao Zhongwen, the Quanzhen Longmen faction Taoist priests, the royal Ejian Wudang Zhugong Guan Xiu Zhen Taoist, the royal Ejian Shaolin Temple monk, and the senior monks of Shanxi Wutai Mountain are equal to waiting for orders at any time before driving, and the authority is heavy.

Yang Ling placed the five thousand elite soldiers in the Shenji Battalion, and asked the Governor's Mansion and Da Nei to send people to train their battle formations and joint attack methods, and at this time they had just rushed back from the Shenji Battalion, and they had to go back to the inner factory to see the specific arrangements for the emperor to go out of Beijing planned by Wu Jie and others.

When the horse arrived at the gate of the city, Yang Ling suddenly saw a few familiar figures in the bustling flow of people, and looked intently, but it was Han Youniang, Su San, and Xue Limei who were tiptoeing to touch the copper nails on the city gate, and Gao Wenxin and Cheng Qiyun stood behind. The people passing by gave them a kind smile.

There are still a lot of officers and soldiers stationed at the city gate, and now the Bazhou bandits, Datong anti-cowards, there are often horseback officers and soldiers to report back and forth, not far from the city gate, a team of dragon lanterns, lion head dances and gongs and drums are noisy, Yang Ling and others came from outside the city, and they have not yet attracted their attention. However, Liu Biao, who was accompanying several ladies, had been paying attention to the movements in all directions, and when he saw him coming, he was busy whispering a few words to a person dressed as an ordinary person beside him, and then walked towards him around a few people.

Yang Ling leaned over his horse slightly and asked, "What are the ladies doing?" ”

Liu Biao couldn't help but replied: "My lord, my subordinates accompanied my wife to the temple to incense and the market to wander, and I mentioned to them that the women on the sixteenth day of the first month should climb the city head and go to the city wall to walk all kinds of diseases, and the sisters crossed the small bridge with their clothes to survive the misfortune, and touched the copper nails to give birth to children and have more men.

Yang Ling couldn't laugh when he heard it, he saw that several ladies were in high spirits, such as today at noon, if they passed, they would have to go back with them when they saw it, it was rare for them to come out, Yang Ling didn't want to disturb their interest, and was hesitating whether to avoid the side first, and suddenly a group of people next to him stopped, and a mighty man in his forties who sat on a horse with wide robes and big sleeves smiled and said: "Is Lord Yang ahead?" ”

Yang Ling looked up and saw the man with two black beards like ink, brocade robe and jade belt, sitting upright and heroic, accompanied by a few generals, and a fifty-year-old man on a horse beside him, dressed in a round-necked Confucian robe, with a lovely smile.

Yang Ling thought about it for a while, and then remembered that this person was Guo Xun, the son of Guo Liang, Marquis of Wuding, although he had not yet inherited the title, but his father was now old and not good at acting, and Guo Xun came forward to answer the right answers, as if he was already Xunqing, the Guo family and the royal family were married for three generations, and now Guo Xun is admiring the 3,000 battalions, Yang Ling just met him two days ago.

Yang Ling lifted the horse's head, greeted him and arched his hand: "It turned out to be General Guo, rude and rude, are you going out of the city?" ”

Guo Xun said with a smile: "Today is the thirtieth day of the lunar month, which is the period of sealing, and there is no need to open a government office, but my friend is in a hurry to go out of Beijing to take up his post, so I sent him out of the city."

Yang Ling saw him pointing to the elegant and kind fifty-year-old man next to him, and heard that he was going to be an official and a friend of Guo Xun, so he didn't expect to be a small official, so he hurriedly said: "Fortunately, this adult is very good-looking, and the New Year will be celebrated soon, why don't you go to Beijing for the holidays."

Guo Xun smiled: "Otherwise, do you say that my friend is a civil official?" My friend's surname is Zhang Mingyin, Taiyuan Wei commanded the new death of the violent disease, my friend was ordered to succeed, and the armor and grain transported to Datong from all over the country have passed through Taiyuan, and the heavy responsibility is on his shoulders, and he has to do it. ”

(To be continued)
