Chapter 154: Killing in the Night
"Lord Meng is back?"
"Well, I went out to do something, no, I just came back!" Meng Yan held a sheep in his hand, followed by Guo Yue, who was dressed as a man, with a large push of things on the horse, and swaggered into the gate of the craftsman's department.
"Guo, Guo ......"
"Xu, that's Lord Meng's fiancée!"
"Aren't they married yet, why are they ......?"
"Don't you say a word, don't you see that Guo Gongzi is a woman dressed as a man, when you don't know what to do, you don't see anything, understand?"
"It's really immoral!"
"Beware of the ...... that comes out of the mouth"
"Mr. Liu, it's not good to talk about people behind your back!" Meng Yan turned his head and snorted coldly at the gossiping Liu Zongqi.
"Yes, yes, Master Meng is right!" Liu Zongqi was frightened into a cold sweat, and hurriedly took a step and ran away.
"Buns, buns......"
"Hey, here, here, stone, what's the matter?" Zhang Bao came out wearing a white apron, a white hat, and a boning knife in his hand.
"Slaughter this sheep, let's eat hot pot tonight!" Meng Yan handed over the goat he bought.
"Great!" Zhang Bao smiled, took the goat, and saw Guo Yue behind Meng Yan, "Guo Gongzi is also here?" ”
"Well, count him in, together!"
"Good, good!"
"Xiaoyue, why don't you go and see Yuying first, she hasn't seen you for a while." Meng Yan turned his head to Guo Yue and said, "By the way, take her over and eat hot pot together!" ”
"Good. I went to see Sister Yuying, and I have a lot to say to her! Guo Yue nodded happily.
"Let's go, we'll have dinner at three o'clock!"
Storeroom.
"Your Excellency is back!" Su Xiaoxiao.
"Nothing happened today, right?"
"The people from the bow and arrow station came to get the materials, and I blocked them back!" Su Xiaoxiaodao.
"What did you say?"
"I showed them our notice, they didn't say anything, and they went straight back!" Su Xiaoxiaodao.
"Well, it looks like they're running out of raw materials, remember, the gate is blocked for me, and all the personnel are going in and out of the small door!" Meng Yan commanded.
"Yes. My lord! ”
The warehouse area is quiet. In addition to physical fitness, Meng Yan's special training content also has cultural classes, and he learns cultural classes for at least two hours every day!
It's also a combination of work and rest!
There was no teacher, so Meng Yan and Tang Xiao took turns with a few people who were slightly literate.
Tang Xiao only needs to be a literacy teacher. Meng Yan's things are miscellaneous. Everything that involves a military aspect. He speaks it all!
How to march, how to discern directions, how to set up camp. and how to find water, food, and more.
What Meng Yan said was a little different from what they had learned before, and it was very fresh for them!
In front of the small blackboard, Tang Xiao used the self-made chalk taught by Meng Yan to carefully teach the members of the treasury brigade to read and write.
The twenty-two team members below, each with a small blackboard and a piece of chalk, listened attentively to Mr. Tang's lecture!
"Stand up!" Fan Xiping, who was sitting on the side of the first row below, saw Meng Yan's figure appear at the door, and immediately shouted loudly!
All the team members "brushed" and stood up!
"Sit, sit down, I listened outside just now, Tang Fuzi taught very well, you also learn very seriously, this learning culture is very important, if you are illiterate, you can only be a brave general, and if you are literate, you can be a wise general, the fate of a brave general is in the hands of others, because you don't know where you are rushing, where to fight, you can only listen to others, the wisdom of the general is different, know when to advance, when to retreat, where to ambush, how to mobilize the enemy......"
"That's great, everyone applauds!"
"Bang Bang ......"
"Okay, these days, everyone has worked hard, add dinner tonight, and allow you to drink, but don't overdo it!"
"Oh......"
"Okay, you continue to practice, I'll talk to Tang Xiao about something!" Meng Yan smiled at Tang.
"Your Excellency!"
"Tang Xiao, I have a set of secret contact passwords here, you carefully study it thoroughly, and then pass it on to everyone!" Meng Yan took out a thin booklet from his arms and handed it to Tang Xiaoxiao.
"Yes!" Tang Xiao took the booklet, slowly opened the first page, and read it seriously.
"My lord, this set of secret contact passwords is so complicated, I'm worried that they may not be able to grasp it?"
"You have to master it, even if it's rote memorization, you have to memorize it for me, and in the future, all secrets are contacts, and this password will be used, understand?"
"Understood!"
"I'm not asking you to master and use this password right away, just give me more time!" Meng Yan Road.
"Yes, my lord, I will do my best to make them learn!"
"Today I went to the Huitong Pavilion and bought a batch of war horses from the Warat people, you can receive them later, and open a stable in our warehouse, and from then on, we will each have at least one war horse!" Meng Yan said, "As for how to train equestrianism, I'll figure it out." ”
"Is it true?"
"Am I lying to you?"
"No, the humble position is too exciting, a batch of war horses is worth a lot of silver, and all the people in our warehouse add up, at least twenty-five war horses, that's thousands of taels of silver?" Tang Xiao was surprised.
"Don't worry, this silver has nothing to do with the warehouse, it is a special fund allocated from above." Meng Yan Road.
"Understood, sir!"
"Go do things, eat hot pot tonight!" Meng Yan said with a smile, "I bought a big fat sheep from the Warat people, which is eighty catties!" ”
When Tang Xiao heard this, he immediately smiled.
Everyone knows that Guo Yue is Meng Yan's fiancée, or the marriage given by the Holy Emperor, but except for Zhang Bao, no one else has seen Guo Yue, or has seen it, but there is no such close contact, let alone a sentence!
Meng Yan actually brought Guo Yue into the warehouse of the Craftsman's Division, which is a violation of the rules, and this will also be caught, and he will have to eat melons.
But who dares to do that now?
Guo Nu looked at it and was about to officially take charge of Jinyiwei. At this time, unless you don't want to mix with Jinyi and Wei anymore, dare to touch this mold?
"Xiaoyue, it's almost over, I'll send you back!"
"Brother Meng, your subordinates are really good to you!" Guo Yue drank a lot of wine, and her pink face was red, like a ripe apple.
"Hehe, it's me who treats them well!"
One person and one ride, out of the craftsman's division, walking on the street. Although a cold wind is blowing. But my heart is warm.
From the Nanya Craftsman to Guo's Mansion, it took half an hour to ride a horse!
"Brother Meng, I'm here!" Seeing a pair of red lanterns in front of Guo's mansion, Guo Yue turned back with some reluctance.
"Hmm!"
Guo Xiaochao opened the door. The expression is still the same for thousands of years.
"Satsuki. I'm not going in. It's not too early, so let's rest early! Meng Yan said.
Guo Yue was a little disappointed, but still nodded. said "Be careful", took the little red horse that Meng Yan bought for her, and slowly disappeared into the gate of Guo Mansion!
Lead the horse and walk on the street!
At this time, only a few streets in Beijing, such as Chang'an Avenue and Xuanwu Avenue, were hardened and paved with bluestone floor tiles, while the rest of the streets were dirt floors.
Do you want to go home, or do you want to go back to Nanya?
Meng Yan thought about it for a while and decided to go home to have a look, after all, it was also his first real home in this era.
There is a night ban in the capital, a watch at three o'clock to beat the twilight drum, pedestrians are forbidden to travel, the inner city is relatively strict, after the night curfew, the streets will be blocked, once a suspicious person is found, etc., caught, it is to be spanked!
Forty hits under normal circumstances!
But this is all for ordinary people, and for people with official status, the night ban is not very strict!
A brocade guard waist card can pass unimpeded.
Of course, if you run into a more serious guy, you're out of luck, this kind of thing happens a lot, but it's rare!
What's more, when it gets dark, there are no street lights in this era, and it is pitch black everywhere, and there is nowhere to go to the street if you want to.
Ordinary people don't have much entertainment other than sleeping.
The nightlife of the Ming Dynasty is really scarce and tight!
In fact, the whole world is the same, in the absence of the industrial revolution and entering the era of electrification, half of the human world is dark.
"Stop, it's all night fast, and you're still walking around the streets?"
Meng Yan tucked the corner of his clothes, and the waist card of Jinyi Wei Baihu was exposed!
"It turned out to be Lord Meng of Jinyiwei!" The soldiers of the Patrol immediately stepped forward and saluted.
Jinyi Wei has privileges, and if you arrest someone, you can cut it first and then play it, and they can't afford to provoke these little soldiers.
If you don't get it right, you will offend Jinyiwei, not to mention the loss of the errand, and you have to eat melons.
"I'm late in the yamen, and now when I go home, if you Shangguan asks, answer truthfully." Meng Yan commanded.
"Yes, Master Meng!"
"He's that Meng Yan?"
"Yes, look at his waist card, it should be him."
"I heard that he beat the Eagle Claw King, one of the four major offerings of the Jinyi Guard, to vomit blood?"
"You've heard about it......
The sound of the distant patrol soldier Ding wafted into Meng Yan's ears, his reputation has become so thunderous?
Da Da ......
Turn into a street,
Suddenly, Meng Yan's war horse neighed restlessly.
After many years of birth and death, Meng Yan's sensitivity to murderous aura has long exceeded that ordinary people don't know how many times!
When he came out of the hall, he felt a trace of unease, and now, he finally understood where his uneasiness came from!
"Geriletu!"
Meng Yan stopped his horse!
There was a dull sound of horses' hooves.
In the middle of the street that was not too wide, sixteen black knights appeared in front of and behind him, but from their stature and war horses.
Meng Yan recognized it at a glance, they were all elite cavalry from the Mobei Grassland!
And those who can say their Mongolian name in the Northern Yuan undercover will be even more wrong.
A familiar face parted the black-clothed knight, slowly came to Meng Yan, and took off the masked black scarf on his face.
"Philosophical Wood!" Meng Yan's face changed slightly.
Although he is not the Geriltu for a long time, in the memory that this body gave him, the memory of the person in front of him is very deep!
Growing up together, they were selected together to join the Guards of Detachment.
Philip has always been his good brother and brother, and after he was promoted to centurion, Philip was appointed his deputy.
Philip doesn't know his identity, so he trusts him so much that he barely has any defenses.
However, as the sentence is printed, the hearts of those who are not of my race will be different, and that night is the medicine that Philosopher put in his wine glass!
No one but him can approach himself without being guarded against himself! (To be continued......)
