Chapter 189: The General's Southern Expedition

As soon as it was dawn the next day, Yan Hong got up and cleared the luggage that had been prepared. Shen'er stayed up all night last night, packing up a good package for Yan Hong, what clothes to wear, what objects to use, and packs up properly. I made a few snacks with my own hands and let Yan Hong eat them on the road.

Looking at the pretty girl's eyes were red and she was still fighting her spirits, Yan Hong couldn't help but feel distressed, but the late mother was there, but he was not too affectionate, so he had to say: "I went out this time, but I don't want to work hard for you." It's a good pendant, my uncle remembers it in my heart. ”

Shen'er only said: "Uncle is going to take care of his body here, everything else is a trivial matter." It doesn't matter if the slave works harder. ”

The late mother will not be lacking in the number of ceremonies. She also saw off Yan Hong and told her to be careful along the way. When he got out of the hospital, he saw Liang Rufei with Yan Feng and Yan Fu, who were already waiting there. There were also some servants, ready to carry luggage.

What Liang Rufei wore today was neither the housekeeper's costume on the day of Mrs. Ouyang's birthday banquet, nor the scribe's costume in Yan Song's big study two days ago, but he changed into a long-standing dress, a six-in-one hat, a short shirt, no weapons, no darts and other things, and he looked like an ordinary servant.

Yan Hong couldn't see how Liang Rufei was puffed up by the sun, or his eyes were bright, but he knew that this master was a fierce man whose martial arts were far superior to that of pulling a cow. After all, he was deeply influenced by martial arts novels in his previous life, and he had an innate sense of worship for this kind of high-ranking Jianghu people, but he didn't dare to treat him as a slave. So without waiting for Liang Rufei to give a salute, he had already stepped forward and said, "Mr. Liang, don't want to give a salute." Speaking of which, you and my father have to be considered equals, or my elders, not to mention that you are a master of the rivers and lakes, I will never dare to accept your courtesy. ”

Liang Rufei is in the Yan family, although he is nominally a guest, but he is nothing more than a senior thug. And he is not the only thug like him. Although Lao Xiaoge has a lot of respect in his mouth, in terms of real status, it is much inferior to Yan Nian, and it is three points worse than Yan Xia.

The so-called relationship with Yan Shifan's peers is never talked about. Honorifically calling him Mr. Liang is nothing more than the Yan family's father and son cherishing his minions, and they don't really attach importance to it in their hearts. How did Liang Rufei not know? It's just a coincidence that let him vote for Yanfu, and second, he offended a strange person in the rivers and lakes in his early years, although the person's own martial arts may not be very good, but he is very famous, and there are few masters who are willing to contribute to it, so Liang Rufei is a safety record, and it can be regarded as a shelter for Yanfu, so as to avoid some dangers in the rivers and lakes. For the sake of these two factors, he was in the Yan Mansion, and he was also content with the status of a high-level thug, and he did not dare to take it big at all.

I don't think about it, but the eldest son, who heard about the arrogant and domineering on weekdays, is so polite to himself today. Rao him Liang Rufei is used to walking away from the rivers and lakes, but he can't help but be surprised, and hurriedly said: "Where did the eldest young master say come from." Liang is just a guest, how dare he pretend to be an elder in front of the eldest young master and kill the villain. ”

When Yan Hong heard this, he smiled slightly: "Hey, since that's the case, we don't need the politeness of the young master and the gentleman." If Mr. Liang doesn't give up, it is better for us to be brothers. I call you Brother Liang, you call me Brother Yan, I don't know what Big Brother thinks? ”

When Liang Rufei heard this, his jaw almost dropped, and he thought to himself, although he has dropped a lifetime, but I have a few heads, dare to be Yan Hongyan's eldest brother? Not to mention anything else, your second brother Yan Hu didn't bury me alive. Not to mention the title of "Brother Yan", who is it talking about? But he saw that Yan Hong was so enthusiastic, and it was difficult to shirk, so it was worth vaguely admitting. Yan Feng and Yan Fu have seen the young master's style of meeting people after falling from the horse, and they don't think it's strange at all.

Before leaving the house, he naturally had to say goodbye to his grandparents and Yan Shifan. It's just that Lu Bing has already instructed that there is no need to make a special trip to resign to him, so as not to go around in a circle. On the Guozijian side, since Yan Hong was in the secret order of the Jinyi guard, of course, it was inconvenient to talk to Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng. Hengzhi is studying at home, and when it comes to the exam, Lu Bing will send someone to greet him.

Although Yan Shaoqing was young and sleepy, he also came to send his eldest brother with dark circles under his eyes, which moved Yan Hong a lot. It's just that I heard that something happened in the Grange outside the city, and Yan Hu wanted to deal with it personally, but he was not in the house. However, Yan Hongben didn't expect this cheap second brother to come and send him. He and Liang Rufei, Yan Feng, and Yan Fu went out to get on the horse, together with the carriage carrying luggage, the carriage rumbled, and went straight to the Datong Bridge.

Yan Hong rode his horse at the front, raised his whip and scolded, and was full of spirit. His heart was full of pride. I am no longer a ** silk, I want to go down to the south of the Yangtze River, and find the lifeblood to solve the Ming Dynasty from Xu Hai! I want to save thousands of soldiers and civilians, and I want to make this empire proud of the world......

With a full stomach of YY, I came to Datong Bridge, and saw Yan Hong's old partner, Wang, Liu, Shao, and Tao, the four general flags were already standing here. There were also twenty sturdy men dressed as domestic servants, standing on both sides. Although Yan Hong's martial arts are mediocre, he also faintly feels the invisible pressure on these twenty big men.

Liang Rufei on the side opened his mouth and praised: "Childe, these are the companions along the way?" It's really good. With Liang Rufei's eyes, it can naturally be concluded that each of these twenty people is a good master of deep technical attack, and they have all experienced the battlefield of life and death, and they have a murderous aura on their bodies.

Of course, the eyes of Wang, Liu, Shao, and Tao were also looking up and down Yan Hong's entourage. Especially Liang Rufei, Wang Ting's eyes slipped around him several times, and he whispered to Liu Lian: "Old Liu, Chief Yan's entourage, not only is his martial arts strong, but also a thief's spirit on his face has not been dissipated. ”

Liu Lian stabbed him: "What will this say?" I can't suffocate you. ”

At this time, the servants who came from the Yan Mansion and the carriage began to unload their luggage. Jin Yiwei, who was dressed as a writer, moved his luggage to a boat moored by the river. After everyone boarded the ship, there were several men who pretended to be family members, and hung up the official title cards with Yan Hong's official positions "Jinyi Wei Qianhu" and "General Wude" written on them, and the boat untied the cable and went south.

Wang Ting and the other four general banners, but they are quite familiar with each other after the case of Zheng Guoqi with Yan Hong, so they are less restrained. Shao An was relatively young, and finally couldn't help it, and asked about Liang Rufei. They also saw that this middle-aged man's temperament was not like that of ordinary family members.

Yan Hong smiled slightly and said, "This benevolent brother's surname is Liang, his name is like Fei, and he is my newly recognized eldest brother. As soon as the words came out, the four general flags were all surprised, thinking to themselves where this Liang Rufei was sacred, and he could make the eldest young master of the Prime Minister think that he was a big brother! Liang Rufei was embarrassed, and hurriedly said that he was just a guest of the Yan family, and he was ordered to protect the eldest son, the eldest brother Yunyun, and it was the eldest son's joke.

Rao is so, as soon as he said such a sentence, the four general banners did not dare to despise Liang Rufei. These four general flags introduced the twenty official schools to Yan Hong, saying that they were all selected captains in Jinyi Guard, and each of them was not weak. In terms of force alone, it is by no means comparable to those people in Shanyin County. If Lin Yangqian dared not to know each other, they would take action to dismantle the yamen in Shanyin County.

It is said that these brocade guards are also rampant in Beijing, and they dare not provoke hereditary nobles and Qingliu civil officials, and they are expected to come to Qipinzhi County, so what is it? We are strict and thousands of households, and even the right capital of the Imperial Court has been put down, can we still be afraid of this stinky official? Therefore, they all screamed and were very arrogant.

But Yan Hong was much calmer than them. Lin Yangqian is not comparable to Zheng Guoqi. After all, Zheng Guoqi has on his body, and he committed this crime of murder with conclusive evidence, and he has already been detected by Jinyiwei, so he only needs to resist Zheng Dadutang's favoritism and go down with the trend.

And this Lin Yangqian, according to the reconnaissance, has no loss of personal morality, acts in accordance with the law, and has no fault. The local official reputation is good, and it is very popular among the people, not to mention that people still carry such a gold-lettered signboard as asking for the people's lives to kill the Japanese invaders. Speaking of which, this time he went down to Jiangnan to fight Lin Yangqian, and he did not occupy the time, place, and people.

If it is said that it is tough, although these 20 Jinyi guards may not necessarily lose to the hundreds of native soldiers in Shanyin County in terms of strength, but they are the magistrates of a tiger class, and they are not just beaten and smashed. It's not good, Xu Hai's problem here has not been solved, but it has caused a new big trouble.

Not to mention, now there is an undercurrent surging in the DPRK, although Zheng Xiao has been dismissed, Zhou Yanke is still in power, and he is holding back his strength to seek revenge on himself. And that Xu Jie, although he is still honest now, Yan Hong is more and more faintly recalled, as if the ancient fat man said that it was this Xu Jie, who killed Yan Song. In this case, don't be careless and get caught by others.

However, some of these involved the inside story of the court struggle, and some of them were just guesses, and Yan Hong naturally couldn't tell his subordinates and the plate. At the moment, he only said that you should be cautious, everything is arranged by me Yan Hong, and you must not be reckless.

The boat traveled all the way east, and when it reached Tongzhou, it did not go any further. Originally, according to the rules of the national dynasty, the river from Tongzhou to Jingshi was only allowed to take a boat, and it was necessary to change boats here to enter the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to the south. In addition, there is a more important thing for the boat to stop - to pick up two people.

Speaking of picking up people, I saw the four general flags squeezing their eyebrows and looking strange. Yan Hong didn't see them either, and scolded with a smile: "I said four brothers, what kind of wind are you smoking one by one?" Tell me who you're picking up. But you look like a ghost, and for no reason you collapsed the stage of our brocade guard! ”

The four general banners have been handling cases with Yan Hong for a few months, and they also know that Yan Hong has no arrogance, so he is much less restrained when he speaks. Besides, the reputation of the little Yama king is also widely spread. Shao An said: "Back to the chief, this is going to be picked up, it is two women." That look, tsk, I really didn't say anything, the tender ones have to be pinched out of the water. If you ride under your body and have fun once, you will be racing over the living immortals. It's just a pity that there is a big belly inside, although it is not very obvious, it is not good after all. The other one is a little smaller, although the appearance is a little worse, but it is also very smart. This trip to the south of the Yangtze River, Yan Huhou is afraid that the journey will be lonely. ”

Yan Hong also knew that these guys were cold and cold when they talked on weekdays, and they were not embarrassed, so they spat and said: "Hugh has to be honest, and if you are listened to carefully, Lao Tzu will be the first to beat you first." Who are these two women, why do we pick them up when we go south to do important business? ”
