Su Hao stayed in Chongqing for another two days under the pretext that he had just escaped from the enemy camp and was in poor health. During this period, he arranged for Chen Guanyu to be responsible for entertaining the little eunuch Vientiane, and waited for him with good food and drink every day, so Vientiane had no complaints.

In the past two days, information came from the informants in Banzhou, confirming the news that the Qixingshan army was flooded, and only more than 100 of Yang Yinglong's 5,000 elites survived, and this team was completely reimbursed. Fu Zhong wrote a report and asked Chen Dao to bring it to the Ministry of War, the main content of which was to ask for credit for Su Hao, of course, the report also emphasized that this credit was achieved under the wise leadership of Chongqing Wei, so the credit of Chongqing Wei is also indelible.

Su Hao told Hao Tong and Deng Kui the news that Wanli was going to publicize the public opinion camp and enter Beijing, and the two looked at each other, not knowing what to say. In their hearts, they felt that Deng Zilong's entrustment was supreme, and they must bring the survey camp to Yunnan to complete the map survey of the border areas of Yunnan. But on the other hand, the holy decree is inviolable, and it is related to Su Hao's future, and it is inconvenient for them to stop it.

After discussion, everyone decided to divide the survey camp into two, and Hao Tong led a part of the men and horses to continue to Yunnan, and after arriving in Yunnan, some additional personnel should be added on the existing basis to complete the map mapping of the border areas. Su Hao led another part of the people to the capital to see Wanli, as for what the future will be, no one can say. Considering that it was a little difficult for Su Hao to lead the troops alone, Hao Tong arranged for Deng Kui to be Su Hao's deputy and enter Beijing with Su Hao.

"Why did you let me go to the capital?" Deng Kui was a little reluctant about this arrangement.

Hao Tong said with a smile: "Old Deng, you are going to the capital to face the saint, how rare is such an opportunity." ”

"Why don't you go?" Deng Kui asked rhetorically.

Hao Tong said: "I want to go, but can you bring the remaining half of the people to Yunnan safely?" ”

Deng Kui was speechless, in terms of force value, he was no worse than Hao Tong, but in terms of carefulness and forbearance, he was far inferior to Hao Tong. There are still thousands of miles from Chongqing to Tengchong, Yunnan, and everyone can't rest assured that Deng Kui can lead the team alone.

"I'm afraid I won't know what to say when I see the emperor." Deng Kui scratched his scalp and began to worry.

Hao Tong said: "I don't care about this, this is also thousands of miles to the capital, you go to the road and think slowly." ”

The soldiers were divided into two teams, and in order to avoid unnecessary confusion, they did not disclose to the soldiers that they went to the capital, only that they had other tasks and would be carried out separately. Most of the soldiers assigned to Su Hao were more obedient to orders, mainly because they might be reviewed by Wanli in the future, and soldiers who liked things too much could not be mixed in. He Bencheng was specially assigned to Su Hao's team together with Su Hao because he had suffered hardships in Banzhou with the small flag under his name.

After resting in Chongqing for two days, they went their separate ways. Hao Tong continued to walk upstream by boat with five soldiers of small flags, and they would abandon the boat in Huzhou and go ashore, and then enter Yunnan via Zhenxiong and Wusa. Su Hao and Chen Dao led the other 5 small flags, took a boat out of Sichuan along the road they came, went to Jingzhou and then landed on the dry road, and entered Beijing through Xiangyang, Nanyang and Kaifeng.

After more than a month, Su Hao and his entourage finally came to the capital. Looking at the towering city walls of Beijing, Su Hao had a feeling of trance.

"Su Baihu, look at the grandeur of our capital, it's very different from other places, right?" The little eunuch Vientiane asked Su Hao proudly.

"Hehe, that's nature, where do you dare to compare with the capital." Su Hao replied perfunctorily. In fact, his emotion was not because of the majesty of Beijing, which he had already seen in his previous life. Standing on the streets of Beijing, looking at the blue bricks and blue tiles on both sides, Su Hao vaguely found some old feelings, which made him a little distracted in an instant.

I don't know what my home looks like now, and if my family, who are hundreds of years apart, are standing in the same space as me at this time?

"Su Baihu, our family is going back to the palace to hand over the decree, you first find a place to live and wait for the news from the palace." After Vientiane showed Su Hao the superiority of the people in the capital, he hurriedly said goodbye. He only has to bring people to the capital, as for how Su Hao and the others live after they arrive in the capital, he can't care about it.

"Su Baihu, where do we live? The inn in this place, maybe a few dollars for a night's stay, right? Deng Kui stepped forward and asked for instructions in a panic. In other places, he is still a little confident, since he entered the city of Beijing, he has a little masterless, and the shock that this city has brought him is too great.

Looking at the other soldiers, the performance is also different. Some are elated, and everything feels fresh; Some are terrified, for fear that a hillbilly like themselves will be reprimanded. There are also some people with excess hormone secretion, so they gather in groups of three or five, peeking at the beauties on the street, and they don't realize it.

"Hehe, let Brother Chen smile, the brothers have never been to the big city, and they are a little out of shape." Su Hao said apologetically to Chen Dao.

Chen Dao looked at Su Hao, but he was a little curious. According to his experience, all the people who come to the capital for the first time will have some fearful performances, including the lifters who have entered Beijing to take the exam over the years, and when they enter the city gate, they are all afraid to breathe. But Su Hao's performance was different from everyone else, his expression was calm and calm, as if he often came and went in the capital, this time he just returned to the capital from other places, without any strange feeling.

"Brother Su has been to the capital in the past?" Chen Dao couldn't help but ask, in fact, he had already investigated Su Hao's experience, and knew that Su Hao had never even left Jiangxi Province before, let alone been to the capital.

Su Hao shook his head with a smile and said, "How can the little brother have the fate to be to the capital, but he has heard people talk about the prosperity of the capital." Now, I have brought more than 50 brothers here, and I have no relatives here, and I have to rely on Brother Chen to take care of me. It is said that the price of goods in the capital is quite high, does Brother Chen know a cheaper inn, recommend one to the younger brother? ”

Chen Dao looked at the people and horses brought by Su Hao, thought for a while, and said, "You have more than 50 people, and it is not a matter for you to stay in a guest house for a long time. In this way, there are a few idle properties in the military department, and I will first make the decision to find one for you, and you all squeeze in it. Wait for the foolish brother to go to the military department tomorrow to restore his life, and then ask Wang Shangshu for instructions to see how to settle you. ”

"Then thank you, Brother Chen." Su Hao bowed to Chen Dao.

Chen Dao hurriedly blocked it with his hand and said, "This can't be helped, I brought the change to the capital, and these things should be arranged by me." ”

The place Chen Dao said was not far from the city gate where they entered, and it was called Tangjia Hutong. Walking into the alley, the eyes are full of tall locust trees, green trees, and the ears are full of the sound of knowing, which sounds quite interesting. Chen Dao led everyone to the gate of a courtyard, patted the door knocker gently, and someone inside agreed:

"Who!"

"It's me, Uncle Xu." Chen Dao replied politely.

The door opened, and an old man in his 60s came out, he squinted at the person, recognized Chen Dao, and asked with a smile: "It's Xiao Chen, how did I hear that you went to the south on a business trip, what, this is a business trip?" ”

Chen Dao also said with a smile: "That's true, I went to Jiangxi at the end of last year, and then went to Sichuan, no, I just came back from Sichuan today." ”

"These brothers are the soldiers you brought back?" The old man pointed to Su Hao and the others who were standing behind Chen Dao, they were all wearing military uniforms along the way, and the old man could recognize them as Ming soldiers at a glance.

Chen Dao pulled Su Hao to him and introduced to the old man: "Uncle Xu, let me introduce you, this is the hundred households in Weifengcheng County, Nanchang, Jiangxi, Su Hao Su changed it." ”

"Oh, you're very young, are you a hundred households?" The old man asked with some contempt. In the capital, a hundred households is really not enough for people to see, and it is no wonder that the old man doesn't care.

Chen Dao said with a smile: "Uncle Xu can be seen this time, don't look at him young, he is very capable." Does Uncle Xu remember the map with circles? ”

The old man asked, "You mean, what is that picture called?" ”

"Contour map." Su Hao interjected, he secretly wondered in his heart, what kind of person this is, he has actually seen the contour map he made, and he can make Chen Dao so polite to him.

"Yes, that's called a contour map." The old man said, maybe it was because Su Hao had mentioned the word for him, he had a good face on Su Hao, turned his head and asked, "What, have you seen that picture too?" ”

Chen Dao said: "Uncle Xu, you don't know, this picture was invented by Su Baihu. The soldiers behind him were the soldiers he had specially trained to survey the map. ”

"This picture was actually invented by you, a doll?" The old man was interested in Su Hao, and he was about to pull Su Hao to ask something, when he suddenly patted his head and said, "Look at me I'm confused, how can I let the brothers stand outside the door and wait, come in." ”

As he spoke, he stepped aside to make room for people to pass. Su Hao looked at Chen Dao, Chen Dao pointed with his hand and said, "Don't be stunned, take the brothers in." ”

Su Hao beckoned the soldiers to enter the door, and the old man led everyone into the courtyard and pointed them out the rooms on both sides that could accommodate people. Deng Kui began to allocate housing with a few small flag officers and settled the soldiers. After this time, Chen Dao pulled Su Hao and the old man to the main room, and sat down with the host.

"Change, let me introduce you, this is an old man from our military department, surnamed Xu, and everyone in our military department calls him Uncle Xu." Chen Dao pointed to the old man and said to Su Hao.

"Uncle Xu!" Su Hao stood up and saluted the old man.

The old man sat on the stool and bowed slightly, which was considered a return salute, but he said very humbly: "Young man, you don't have to be polite, my name is Xu Guangzu, and I am a veteran." was taken care of by the original Xu Shangshu and arranged for Lao Er to be an errand keeper of the property. If you live here in the future, if there is anything inconvenient, just tell Lao Er. Also, what uncle is not uncle, there is no need, you can just call me Old Man Xu. ”

"How dare you, Uncle Xu was also our elder, and it is also appropriate to call you an uncle." Su Hao said obediently.

"You're just too polite, I don't like it." Xu Guangzu said, he turned to Chen Dao and asked, "Xiao Chen, are you going to the south this time to pick up Su Baihu to the capital?" What's the matter, Wang Shangshu plans to reuse Su Baihu? ”
