The howling north wind swept across the wilderness, and on the official road that could accommodate four large carts in parallel, a team wearing red mandarin duck battle jackets walked by, most of this team were foot soldiers, but occasionally a small number of cavalry rode by, raising a puff of dust and smoke, causing the foot soldiers marching on the side of the road to curse in a low voice.

A relatively ordinary-looking cart slowly drove in the official road of the convoy, and next to this cart there were hundreds of cavalrymen dressed in sturdy figures, all of whom were dressed in iron armor, and the iron armor was very well-made, and at a glance it was a lot of money.

Although the car looks quite ordinary, the interior decoration is diametrically opposite, not only is the interior inlaid with iron plates, but also the interior decoration is very exquisite, behind the carriage is a walnut wood Hu bed, in the middle is a Xinzi, two middle-aged men with a calm bearing are concentrating on the game.

These two people are Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou, who were ordered to return to the dynasty after exterminating Zhang Xianzhong, and they lit a furnace next to them, and the Wugang white charcoal in the furnace made a crisp crackling sound after burning, and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old woman with a beautiful appearance was looking at the charcoal fire in her heart, and a purple teapot on the charcoal stove was constantly steaming out.

"Smack"

With a soft sound, a white chess piece fell on the chessboard, a middle-aged man in a purple robe stroked his beard and smiled, while the middle-aged man in a vermilion official uniform opposite him frowned a little, holding a black spot in his hand and staring at the criss-crossing chessboard with a hesitant expression, although due to the bad condition of the official road, the cart was a little undulating, but the chess pieces on the chessboard were still firmly attached to the chessboard and did not move.

The middle-aged man in the purple robe stroked his beard and smiled: "Boya, what do you think of my hand?" Can you crack it? ”

The man in the vermilion official uniform on the opposite side looked at it for a while, and then said angrily: "You Hong Chengchou will also bite the three axes of gold, and I will come to compete with you after I participate in the research." ”

The two people in the cart are Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, who returned from Sichuan victoriously, and the two of them are very satisfied with their ambitions along the way, and now the army is about to arrive in the capital. The two relaxed and played against each other in the car.

These days, the two of them have been exterminating the thieves together in Sichuan, and they can be regarded as getting along well, although Hong Chengchou was called by Sun Chuanting's name, he was not angry, but said with a smile: "Boya, I know your level, if you want to win, I have to work hard for a few more years." ”

Sun Chuanting snorted lightly and then said: "When you get to the capital, I will ask Lu Jiandou to deal with you, see if you dare to be so arrogant!" ”

"Hahaha" Hong Chengchou laughed, "Boya, you can't get down to me by yourself, are you going to ask for help?" ”

"Why not?" Sun Chuanting's face did not change and said, "This chess game is like a war." If you can't beat it yourself, you naturally have to move rescuers, what's the shame. ”

"You," Hong Chengchou pointed at Sun Chuanting helplessly and laughed.

At this point, the game of chess had come to an end, and the maid on the side served the freshly brewed tea to the two of them.

Sun Chuanting took the teacup and tasted the fragrant tea, only to feel a faint fragrance falling into his stomach with the fragrant tea, he closed his eyes and breathed a long sigh of relief before exclaiming: "It's still Hong Yanyan who will enjoy it, not only did he get such a comfortable car, but he also had such a good tea to drink even when he was in a hurry." ”

Hong Chengchou sneered and said: "If you want to, you can do it, I think your Sun Boya is also the dignified governor of Shaanxi and Gansu." Isn't it a joke that you can't even get a decent carriage? ”

Sun Chuanting smiled faintly: "What do I want to do with such a luxurious car, now that my Ming thieves have been pacified, I am afraid that there will be no chance to lead the troops again in the future." When the time comes, you have to be careful, but I've heard about it. You have to worry about that person when you go back to Beijing this time. ”

As soon as he heard this, the smile on Hong Chengchoulai's face sank, and he put the teacup on the table and said in a deep voice: "The capital is at the feet of the Son of Heaven and a place where hundreds of officials gather. I don't believe he dares to mess around! ”

Seeing Hong Chengchou's gloomy face, Sun Chuanting sighed lightly in his heart, this Hong Chengchou is a more confident person on weekdays. When he hears this person's name, he will become out of shape, and it seems that this person is really putting a lot of pressure on him.

Gently swaying, he took the teapot from the maid on the side and poured tea into the teacup in front of Hong Chengchou, and said softly: "Brother Yanyan, to be fair, what you did in Shanxi last time was really not authentic. People go out to fight with the Tartars, but you want to copy his lair, this thing is that the mud Bodhisattva is also angry, and it is already very polite that people have not raised troops to chase and kill all the way. In my opinion, you might as well take the opportunity to bow your head and apologize to him this time when you return to Beijing, in my opinion, that Yue Yang is not a person with star chicken intestines, wouldn't it be better if you could expose this Liangzi? ”

"Hmph, don't think about it!" Hong Chengchou snorted angrily and said: "If I, Hong, bow my head like this, how will I meet my colleagues in the Manchu Dynasty in the future, and do you want the face of a scholar?" ”

"You"

Sun Chuanting swayed helplessly, this Hong Chengchou has become more vigorous since he defeated Zhang Xianzhong, and decided that this time the emperor and the Manchu Dynasty will definitely be on his side, but is that Yueyang a good stubble? You must know that he is a person that even the emperor has to be afraid of.

Sensing the unhappiness in Sun Chuanting's heart, Hong Chengchou didn't want to be unhappy with him because of this matter, so he smiled and said: "Okay Boya, I have my own opinions in my heart about this matter, you can rest assured." Yesterday, the imperial court sent someone to send an official document, and the emperor will personally lead hundreds of officials to work in the suburbs, and we must behave well at that time, but we can't be embarrassed in front of the emperor and the princes of the court! ”

"Well, it's nature." As soon as he mentioned this, Sun Chuanting's attention was really attracted to the past, and he quickly discussed with Hong Chengchou how to line up to enter Beijing

On November 23, the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, Dongyang Pavilion University Scholar, Trilateral Governor Hong Chengchou and the Hanging Military Department, Shaanxi and Gansu Governor Sun Chuanting

Led more than 20,000 counterinsurgency troops to the capital to accept the reward, Chongzhen led the Manchu Dynasty civil and military and tens of thousands of people to the hometown ten miles away from the capital to greet him.

The scene of suburban labor is not small, in addition to Chongzhen, almost all the officials above the fourth grade in the capital have come, and there are many people who come to greet them, and the dense crowding of several miles around the Shili Pavilion is full.

It was noon, and the cold wind of winter kept blowing $Zhen and stood on the Shili Pavilion, and the pavilion was full of civil and military officials, and everyone stretched their necks to look outside.

Chongzhen asked Wang Chengen beside him: "Big companion, have Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou arrived?" ”

Wang Chengen bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, there is news from the Tanma of the Imperial Horse Supervisor that Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting are less than three or four miles away from Shili Pavilion, and they should arrive soon." ”

As soon as Wang Chengen's words fell, a shout suddenly came from the front, and a sharp-eyed person shouted not far away: "The army has arrived!" ”

As the words fell, there was a shout of excitement in front of them, and soon a group of black dots began to appear in front of everyone. It didn't take long, first one flag after another, and then a group of soldiers wearing mandarin duck jackets came in a queue.

About a quarter of an hour later, the team came to a stop in front of the Shili Pavilion, led by two people riding horses, wearing scarlet official robes, with a wisp of beard under their chins, although their appearances were different, their expressions were extraordinary.

I saw that the two of them immediately jumped off their horses before and after they came to the Shili Pavilion, strode to the pavilion and knelt down to Chongzhen, who was looking at him with a smile, and said loudly: "Chen Hong Chengchou Sun Chuanting was edicted by the Son of Heaven to crusade against the thieves, and now he has returned victorious, and he has come to pay the decree to His Majesty, may my emperor live long live, long live, long live!" ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

As the voices of the two fell, a tsunami-like sound immediately sounded behind them, and the sound of the 20,000 troops shouting in unison was naturally extraordinary, almost making the ears of the surrounding people buzz.

Chongzhen was almost taken aback, but then a satisfied smile appeared on his face, the more elite this army was, the happier he was. Around the pavilion, the civil and military officials, who had been standing impatiently for a long time, looked at the endless team standing behind Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, and many people had smiles on their faces. In their opinion, even if these officers and soldiers are elite, they should be controlled by them who are scholars, after all, Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou are both from the Jinshi of the Eight Classics, and they can be regarded as Miao Zheng and Hong's scholars, and they are people of the same class, so they enjoy different treatment. And after the capital has this elite, they want to see how arrogant and domineering Yue Yang is.

Zhou Tingru also stroked his beard and asked Chen Yan beside him, "Lord Chen, what do you think of the soldiers led by Yan Yan and Boya?" ”

At this time, Chen Yan smiled so much that his old face bloomed like a blooming chrysanthemum, and he nodded and said: "According to what the subordinate officials can see, it is not an exaggeration for this army to call it the division of the tiger Ben, and it is no wonder that Zhang Xianzhong, who has been able to pacify these thieves who have been in trouble for many years, is indeed worthy of his reputation!" ”

"What Lord Chen said is that Lord Hong and Lord Chen are leading a large army to arrive, and we have to see how arrogant that guy is." Zhou Tingru and Chen Yan are rarely so happy, naturally there is no shortage of eye-catching, and soon someone will pat themselves on the back.

Listening to the rolling of the people and horses below, although Zhou Tingru and Chen Yan were very happy, but the work on face also had to be done, Zhou Tingru turned his head and reprimanded: "Don't be rude, the loyal and brave marquis is the important minister of the country who has made great contributions to my Ming Dynasty, how can you arrange people." ”

"Yes, it's a shame!" Those who were reprimanded were not depressed, and smiled and bowed their heads to admit their mistakes.

When everyone was happy, a sound of horses' hooves came, and a cavalryman wearing a dark green military uniform ran over quickly, and after being inspected by the guards, he came to Chongzhen and reported loudly: "Your Majesty, the loyal and brave marquis ordered the villain to come to report, he is ready, do you want to start the ceremony immediately?" ”
