Chapter 56: More Powerful Players (1)
Datong is twice as far away from Beijing as Xuanfu Town, but Ding Yi and his entourage of more than 200 horsemen traveled 700 miles and came to Datong Military Town. Naturally, this important town on the nine sides will not let such soldiers and horses come and go freely, and Ding Yi is also very happy to let Xing Dahe take out the waist card to the soldier who stopped them, and naturally stuffed the ingot silver in his hand.
It is impossible to say that this ingot of silver will open the city gate to the generals, but at least Liu An, the chief soldier of the city guard, soon received the waist card handed over by his subordinates, which is the effect of this silver. Liu An looked at the "Ambassador of the Beiyi Bureau of the Daming Homeland Security Bureau" on the card, and taught the staff to take out the seal sent by the Criminal Department a few days ago to check that it was correct, and then he adjusted his armor and prepared to greet him.
He heard Yingzong say that Ding Yi, and for Liu An, Yingzong's die-hard courtier, he naturally had a very good impression of Ding Yi, a colleague who sacrificed his life to protect the holy car; And the generals on the battlefield are even more interested in Ding Yi's martial arts, and now that Ding Yiluo's yamen is coming, he thinks that he is also Ding Yi's henchman, and Liu An is naturally willing to get close.
"Let's go with the students." Du Yushi Shen Gu looked at the waist card on the side, but said with a smile, Liu An was a little stunned, I don't know how Shen Gu civil officials have the intention of making friends with a brave person like Ding Yi, and enter the love house and Wu, and are willing to meet his disciples?
Shen Gu saw Liu An's confusion, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "In the past few days, General Liu and General Guo have been talking about how Ding Rujin is indomitable and brave. Ding Rujin previously advocated Han Wu, Huo Yao, Chen Tang, and Ban Dingyuan, and thought that he was good at making big words, but who knew that this son was on the battlefield, and he really did his best...... What a rare talent! Liu Zongbing is afraid that he does not know that at present, due to the shortage of manpower, this security yamen is filled by Ding Rujin's disciples. This ambassador of the bureau should also be a disciple of Ding Yi. ”
How did Liu An not know that the ambassador of the Beiyi Bureau was a disciple of Ding Yi? The border town commander is in Beijing, so he naturally has his own eyes and ears. However, at this time, he didn't say anything, and only smiled: "Okay, Lord Shen, please!" ”
When Shen Gu and Liu An looked at the more than 200 riders standing solemnly in the wind, they couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and after a long time, Shen Gu muttered: "Dumbfounded, there is really something in the world!" "If you are like a wooden chicken, it is a curse in the future life, but it is a compliment in this year. The spirit of the dumb chicken finger is possessed. No arrogance, no noise. It's basically the highest compliment. Xing Dahe naturally stepped forward to meet Liu An, Shen Gu and other officials, he had been in Jinyi Wei for many years, no matter how honest he was, he would not lose his manners.
The Taibai Building in Datong Town is quite lively today, and a few little two are running up and down. It's as if it's smeared with honey in his mouth, after all, Uncle Liu An, the chief military officer of Datong, held a banquet. A restaurant begging for a living in this realm. Where do you dare not do your best to wait?
After three rounds of drinking, Liu An was a military general after all, so he became interested and asked Xing Dahe: "I heard that Lingshi has the courage of ten thousand people, and the criminal envoy Lingshi is really a pass, and I think it is also an enemy of a hundred people." The old man also has a few brave soldiers under him. I wonder if the criminal ambassador can give me some advice? ”
Shen Gu frowned when he heard this, he had heard that Ding Yiyin was extremely accomplished in poetry, and he wanted to sing poetry with the Punishment University, who knew how many cups this martial artist would drink. He showed his true colors to stir up the situation, Liu An's subordinates and brave generals he had seen, they were simply the same as Xiong Zhen, although Ding Yi's disciples looked strong, they were far worse than those ones.
At that moment, Shen Gu interrupted and smiled: "Mr. Liu, I don't know if you have ever heard of Ding Rujin's "Wind and Rain Yangzhou Road"? ”
Who knew that Liu An rolled his eyes: "Lord Shen, I know that you literati always love this kind of elegance, my old Liu is a rough person, I don't understand it, when I and the criminal ambassador have explained this verse, naturally let him go against your poetry!" Shen Gu couldn't help but smile bitterly, this martial artist sprinkled it, and he was a scoundrel.
Xing Dahe didn't care, casually nodded at the soldiers who followed behind him, and said to him: "Ask the fierce generals of Chief Officer Liu, they are warriors on the battlefield of Jiuzhen, and they are the solution to kill the enemy, you have to be careful." The sergeant answered, and went downstairs on his own. Shen Gu saw that his brows were about to knot, this sergeant was thinner than Xing Dahe's body, where could he compare with Liu An's warriors!
The warriors of General Liu Soldier downstairs were there early, and Shen Gu, Liu An, and Xing Dahe watched the two fight by the railing.
After only three breaths, Liu An jumped like thunder, pressing the railing and yelling: "Stupid, stop!" You're fucking dead three times! Look at the clothes on your chest, the back of your neck, and your waist! He turned to Xing Dahe and said, "Ambassador Xing, he's not a shameless scoundrel, it's just that it's too bad, and he doesn't even know that your brother is merciful!" He didn't know that the sergeant who looked thin was Su Zhen, the hero of Beizhili.
Xing Dahe grabbed Liu An's arm and smiled: "What's the value of this?" It's all play, though. Liu An only felt that an object was stuffed in his hand, and he didn't say anything at the moment, and Shen Gu and the others went back to the table to sit down and drink again, drank two glasses, and then said that he was in a hurry, and the sergeant standing behind him helped Liu An to go to the toilet, and turned around to show some interesting things about the Beijing master with Shen Gu, but they also had a good conversation.
Walking to the latrine, Liu An took out the object that was given to him by the punishment in his hand and looked at it, but it was a waist card, the front of which was the official position of "Ambassador of the Daming Homeland Security Bureau", and the back was "All interrogators bring this card to the two Beijing and thirteen political secretaries and civil and military affairs." Liu An stood still and turned back to the sergeant and asked, "Ding Rujin?" ”
Liu An said during the banquet that he was a rough man, where did this hereditary earl still have the slightest rough appearance at this time?
"It's the students." Ding Yi replied with a smile.
Liu An threw the waist card back to Ding Yi, where was there still a hint of alcohol on his face? I only heard him ask, "You want to get out?" ”
"Yes."
"Why don't you go out of Xuanfu? Coming out of Datong, isn't it seeking the near and far? Do you have sinister intentions to trap the old man in injustice? Liu An initiated, but he had the majesty of a border general, the momentum of a hereditary earl, and asked one sentence after another, "Or if you want to betray the Ming Dynasty and go to Wara, you want to take the old man's head as a stepping stone!" ”
Ding Yi chuckled and shook his head, but said, "Why does Uncle ask knowingly?" ”
Words like betraying Daming are really ridiculous to use on Ding Yi. But in many cases, speaking is not a simple combination of logic, but also a kind of suppression of aura and power, in order to attack the spirit of the object of questioning, so that there are flaws and leak the true purpose.
Or more simply, venting.
Liu An's words are a kind of venting.
As Ding Yi said, he knew very well why Ding did not go out of the Xuanfu but from Datong. Because Ding Yi did not have an order to leave the customs, it was impossible for the Xuanfu to let him out of the customs. Yang Hong didn't even come out to answer in the face of Yuan Bin, who came to call the city gate, and directly said that he was gone, how could he let Ding Yi go out of the pass to reconcile with Yingzong?
"Actually, from the time he saw us, Uncle knew that Weishenme was going to leave Datong." Ding Yi said with a smile. Because Xing Dahe is the ambassador of the Beiyi Bureau, he has a reason to go out of the customs, but he will definitely not accompany more than 200 horsemen, a Yamen with the General Bureau is only a seven-grade Yamen, where can such a staffing come from? It is definitely many times more difficult for the Ming Dynasty to be a civil servant than for hundreds of years, and it is not so simple to eat the imperial court. If the Xuanfu is out of the customs, Yang Hong will definitely check them one by one.
Ding Yi covered his nose, the thatched house in this year is really green and pollution-free, and it is not uncommon for dead cats, dogs and pigs to die in the pit. I'll leave today, they stay, the accommodation, food, etc., please arrange it for the uncle, and the punishment will be settled over there, and everything will depend on the uncle. Also, stop yelling, aren't you looking for a reason to embarrass you? ”
"I'm going to help you?" Liu An said coldly, as the chief military officer guarding the border pass and the hereditary earl, if Liu An really entangled the residence and diet of the more than 200 people who rode when he was entangled, how far would he have to pick the door? He didn't pay any attention to the verse, but asked, "Why should I help you?" ”
Ding Yi waved his hand to drive away the flies around him: "Flies don't bite seamless eggs, you have loyalty, of course you will help me." ”
Loyal and the eggs bitten by flies were put together, Liu An listened to the green tendons in the corners of his forehead, and his snort was heavy, as if he was going to rush over and throw Ding Yi into the dung pit to be with those dead dogs and dead cats. It's not that all people's hearts in this world are so ugly, loyalty is the belief that Liu An believes in and adheres to, and Ding Yi's words undoubtedly made him feel insulted.
But in the end, Liu An still didn't move, snorted heavily, and squeezed out a sentence: "Follow me." ”
Then he walked out with Ding Yi, shouted to the subordinate who had just been defeated by Su Zhen, and after two orders, Liu An didn't say a word, and went upstairs to continue drinking. That subordinate is Liu An's old henchman, and he won't ask a word if he shouldn't ask, so he only took Ding Yi on his horse and went away.
The old soldiers at the border of Jiuzhen, in fact, this henchman alone is enough to send Ding Yi out of the customs without knowing - not to mention sending someone out of the customs, there is nothing to do in normal times, even if he misses a small caravan and a half, it is also a common thing. Of course, the current military situation at the border is urgent, and they generally don't dare to do such a thing, but the cronies around the uncle still don't have a problem to send Ding out of the customs.
Naturally, there is a risk, and it is many times greater than the risk of letting traders in.
As soon as Ding left Datong, he didn't look back at the city wall behind him.
It is one thing whether Liu Anxin has loyalty or not, but Ding Yi feels that there is one thing that must exist: his position between the prison country and Yingzong is already very clear, and it is so clear that it is impossible for him to stand on the side of the prison country. So he and Ding Yi have a common interest, that is, Yingzong. (To be continued......)
