Yan Hong led the team back to Beijing, looking left and right along the road, when they came, nearly 3,500 Fujian troops and Jinyi guards were now hundreds less, and many people were injured, which can be regarded as a lot of losses. On the other hand, as a harvest, there were hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in Qincha's bag and the title deed. Yan Hong looked at Yu Dayou, who was guarding in front, and was silent on the horse, thinking that he was distressed about the injuries of the children of the Fujian army, so he comforted him: "Brother Yu, the battle here is all thanks to your brother's protection of me." The soldiers were injured a lot, and the brothers had some more silver taels here to comfort the dead, and the wounded had more soup and medicine expenses, so please be relieved. ”

Yu Dayou replied: "Since the soldiers eat food and serve as soldiers, it is within their duty to sacrifice their lives for the country. It's just that this battle of Malianbao could have been a big victory, but because of Yang Shun's indiscriminate command, it became tragic now, and he was really unwilling. ”

Yan Hongxin said, this matter is over, wouldn't it be good to defeat the Mongols, what are you talking about? I can't really pee on this stubborn old man, forget it. He turned his head to talk to Jinyiwei. Sun Yuerong has been pregnant for several months at this time, not only often feeling fatigue, but also pantothenic acid in her mouth, poor appetite, and various reactions one after another. She originally had a straight temper, and she didn't know what forbearance contained, but now she is incapacitated, and when she holds it out, it is inevitable that she will not be angry in her mouth, or find fault for some trivial things. Yan Hong naturally didn't care about her, and only let Hua Yuexian and Geng Jinling comfort and accompany her.

On this day, the team entered the territory of Beizhili, and was about to enter the post station to rest, but saw that on the official road, a horse was galloping, and the person on the horse was in men's clothes, and his body was slim. It was Zhang Qingyan. Zhang Qingyan entered the Qincha team. smiled and said to Yan Hong: "Xianggong." It's back. ”

Yan Hongxi said: "Qingyan, is the matter done?" ”

Zhang Qingyan said: "It's done." When I'm not around, is Xianggong okay? I don't think it's as difficult as in Marlenburg, but it shouldn't be dangerous. ”

Yan Hong said: "Don't worry, it's not a big deal." Qingyan, you can accompany me tonight. ”

Zhang Qingyan covered his mouth and said: "Xianggong, let's be separated for a few days, Xianggong will be so unbearable." Sister Sun is not feeling well now. You'd better spend more time with her. As he spoke, he approached Yan Hong and said softly: "Xianggong, that Taosong Village, I have also been placed in the dust nunnery on the outskirts of Beijing, so that she can be accompanied by the sister of the Hu family and Tian Pan'er." I also warned her that she was supposed to be the one who should have been disemboweled, and since she had her life, she should not think twice. Just stay in the hermitage. If the husband is interested, it is convenient to find her. ”

Yan Hong doesn't have such a strong desire for this peach pine village. However, listening to Zhang Qingyan's arrangement, he was quite relieved, and said: "What is the attitude of the mother towards this Yi girl that night?" ”

Zhang Qingyan smiled: "Sister Wanniang didn't say anything, is there one more?" Besides, I also told her, this Yi girl, Xianggong, you only kindly saved her life and brought it back to Beijing. If you really have a heart, you will be admitted to the room early. Now it would be good to have them in each other's company. ”

Yan Hong nodded: "Qingyan is very thoughtful, come and kiss one to encourage." ”

On the way, Yan Hong witnessed Sun Yuerong's long sigh and Zhang Qingyan's eyebrows, but sometimes he was thinking in his heart: "I only cared about Xuanda before, I don't know where Xia Zisu is now?" She left Shenjiazhuang, where did she go? After returning to Beijing this time, I will send someone to inquire carefully. ”

Beijing. The residence of Yang Bo, the secretary of the military department.

Yang Bo turned his hands behind his back and stood silent, as if he was a wood carving clay sculpture, but a pair of shining eyes turned around, and he could see that he was thinking.

Zhang Siwei on the side finally couldn't help it, and said: "Uncle, Yan Hong is making a big fuss in Xuan, Shen Lian and Shen Qingxia were murdered, and the old Mr. Huo Zhenbei of the Yanmen faction was also killed, and the little nephew seems to have most of it done by Yang Shun in collusion with Yan Hong." This killing of the country's courtiers is a first-class evil thing, so can it be over? ”

Yang Bo said: "Yan Hong's recital said that it was the White Lotus Sect bandits who were in the standard camp who did this, and now Yang Shun has also died in the border court, you say that it was Yan Hong's instructions, but there is evidence?" Originally, Yang Bo had a private relationship with Huo Zhenbei of the Yanmen faction, and Huo Zhenbei's joining the Loyalty and Righteousness League was a move by Yang Bo to control the rivers and lakes. Therefore, through Huo Zhenbei, he also knew that Shen Lian was collecting evidence of Yang Shun's crimes in Xuanda, so this time Yan Hong went north to inquire, no matter what Yan Hong's attitude was, as long as Shen Lian shook out this batch of evidence at the right time, then Yan Mansion would be hit hard. Unexpectedly, Huo Zhenbei died together in Shenjiazhuang, but Yang Bo's line was damaged.

Zhang Siwei was speechless. Yang Bo sighed: "I only say, Yang Shun is so engaged in Xuanda, he should have been full of evil, Yan Hong is Qincha this time, whether he investigates or not, he will be a bad person." Who knew that this Yan Mansion would be able to perform a trick that made Yang Shun sacrifice his life for the country. Now, even if he is a handsome man and ugly, then Yang Shun is not only Yan Songyi's son, but also has already sacrificed his life for Long Life, who will impeach him for greedy military rations and poison soldiers, how can Long Live Lord love to listen to it? And the news from Ma Fang's side, this Yan Hong was widely favored in the side court, buying people's hearts, and even Ma Fang was very happy with him. At this time, it is not easy to use this Xuanda matter to move the Yan family! ”

Zhang Siwei heard Yang Bo say this, although he was unwilling, he was speechless. Yang Bo said again: "That's it, since my generation is a minister, I should put national affairs first. Although Yan Hong inevitably did some unsightly deeds in Xuanda this time, he personally went to the front line, supervised the troops in Malianbao, and greatly frustrated the Tartar spirit, which was also a real achievement. Moreover, Yang Shun, the wine bag and rice bag that plagued the border court, was removed this time and replaced with Jiangdong, which is also a blessing for the country. Speaking of this trip, Yan Hong can also be regarded as a meritorious person to the imperial court. We don't have to take personal grievances to heart at all times, and we should be fair in general. ”

Zhang Siwei listened to his uncle's reprimand, so he had to nod. Yang Bo smiled slightly: "It's just that, but I don't know what to do with Xu Zisheng's time?" ”

Taishan Hutong, Xu Jie's mansion, when the second assistant sits on the chair, his face sinks like water, and he is silent. Beside him, Zhang Juzheng sat upright, smiling rather than smiling, without saying a word.

After a while, Xu Jie sighed: "Yan Hong, this kid, has such a powerful means, and he can do such a bad thing as Yang Shun in Xuanda." And all are gently wiped off. The means of this step are still lacking. This mind. It's ten times better than that Yan Shifan. With this person here, it is not easy to shake the Yan Mansion. ”

Zhang Juzheng said: "What the teacher has seen is very good. It's just that from Juzheng's point of view, if we want to overthrow the traitor Yan Song, we don't need to be too hasty. For example, Yan Hong's actions in Xuanda this time, although he has the right to strengthen himself, he is stationed in Malianbao and fights the Tartars. The actions are also good. Speaking of which, this spring has announced a major event, and this matter of opening the sea will probably be put on the agenda. Since we have not been able to show the flaws of the Yan Mansion in the matter of Xuanda, we must not fall behind in the opening of the sea. ”

Xu Jie nodded and said, "Uncle said it very well. I only hate that this time I specially instructed Ning Qingzhi of the Huashan faction to go to Baoan Prefecture and secretly protect Shen Lian, but I was still one step behind, and finally Shen Qingxia was victimized by the Yan Party, and instead planted the matter on the head of the White Lotus Sect. Hehe, according to Ning Qingzhi's report. On the night when Shenjiazhuang was washed in blood, he was in Shenjiazhuang. Fight with the enemy, the enemy's martial arts are very good, and he is the first-rate master in the rivers and lakes. The White Lotus Sect bandits who infiltrated the standard camp, how could there be such a character? I see, I'm afraid it's the guards of the Yan Mansion. Shen Qingxia is a master of the national dynasty, and she was poisoned, how painful! ”

Zhang Juzheng also knew that although his teacher Xu Jie looked down on the people in the rivers and lakes, he also secretly raised a group of martial arts masters, and Ning Qingzhi of the Huashan faction was one of the best, with high seniority and excellent martial arts. When Xu Jie heard that Shen Lian was visiting the military and civilians at Xuanda a few days ago, he guessed that Shen Lian had probably collected Yang Shun's evidence, and sent someone to send a message to Shen Lian, hoping that Shen Lian would hand over the evidence directly to Xu Jie. didn't want Shen Lian to mock Xu Jie in front of him for pretending to be a grandson in front of Yan Song, he was a "little concubine and old man", and he broke up unhappily. This time, Ning Qingzhi was sent to protect Shen Lian is family, and he wanted to get the evidence of the crime to be true, but he fought with the murderer in Shenjiazhuang, and he retreated, and the evidence of the crime was not obtained. This is also something that Xu Jie thinks he hates.

Xu Jie said again: "Now, Yan Mansion is becoming more and more arrogant, and if we want to act against him, it will be self-defeating." Only by following the trend and taking advantage of the gap can we make a difference. Uncle, I know that you are quite enthusiastic about the opening of the sea, and recently you often ask the children of Jiangnan and Shandong in the Guozi Prison, and you must have a plan. When the DPRK and China are talking about opening up the sea, you might as well let go and get involved. That Yan Song originally admired you, and Yan Hong was your registered disciple, so if you were inside, the matter of opening the sea could also avoid being completely controlled by Yan Song's party. ”

Zhang Juzheng said happily: "Juzheng respectfully obeys the orders of his teacher. ”

Xu Jie nodded: "Also, after Yan Hong returns to Beijing, the old man will look at the attitude of the Long Live Lord." If it is because of Yang Shun's matter, Long Live Lord not only does not punish Yan Fu, but his favor is even greater, then I also need to take a step back, try to befriend Yan Song, and paralyze his heart, in order to seek the long run. ”

Zhang Juzheng said: "The meaning of the teacher is ......"

Xu Jie sighed slightly, twisting his beard silently.

Qinling, sloping valley.

In the middle of the mountain road, the wind and snow were long, and the two women were wrapped in fur furs, sliding step by step, and walking side by step. Fortunately, the horses behind him saluted, and they were still well-behaved, and they followed very closely. The older one of them is obviously wearing a six-class car, and his waist is extremely thick, and he has difficulty moving. Although she has practiced martial arts for many years, her physique is not comparable to that of ordinary women, but at this time, she can't take a few steps, so she has to drag the saddle and barely move.

It was easy to arrive at an uninhabited hut on the side of the road, and the two of them hurriedly hid in. The younger woman hurriedly lit a fire and helped the tall woman to sit down. Looking at the pregnant woman's originally delicate face, but now she was holding back her uncomfortable face, the girl complained: "Sister Xia, look at you, make it like this." It's better to listen to me, find a place to cultivate near Xi'an, and find Langzhong to give birth to the child. Is this kid really the thief surnamed Yan? "This woman is naturally Shen Xiaoxia, the daughter of Shen Lian.

That pregnant woman is, of course, the purple-clothed Chang'e Xia Zisu who was powerful in the past. Hearing Shen Xiaoxia say this, she frowned: "Xiaoxia, I'...... I told you, don't be strict...... Yan Hong. I am now alone, and those wicked who have harmed us will not let us go. Only by returning to my teacher in Sichuan first is the right way. ”

Shen Xiaoxia said: "According to me, it's better to go to Zhejiang first and find my brother Shen Xiang." At least with him, you can get shelter from running around like this. Yan Hong, the evil thief, harmed my whole family, I must find my brother and take revenge! ”

Xia Zisu said: "Sister, under the nest, there are eggs." Shenjiazhuang has been washed in blood, how can Brother Ling be safe? Besides, the one who killed Ling Zun didn't know which way of the wicked person he was, but he couldn't preconceive of it. In fact, Xia Zisu was almost killed by Xi Tong that night, and he knew in his heart that Shenjiazhuang must have been slaughtered by Yan Hong. It's just that she refuses to accept this fact in her heart, and she is even more unwilling to admit it to Shen Xiaoxia, so she pretends to be deaf and dumb and goes around in circles on this topic.

Shen Xiaoxia sighed: "Even if it's not from the Yan Hong faction, it's also from the Yang Shun faction." Otherwise, why is it so coincidental that Yan Hong just came to Shenjiazhuang, and robbers came that night? Forget it, what's the use of saying this, it's to cut the murderer with a thousand knives, and my father and second brother, as well as those people in Zhuangzi, won't survive. It's a pity that Brother Shao is not here, otherwise why would it be like this. Sister Xia, I will always wait for you to give birth to this child safely before anything else. Hey, it's a pity that my second brother originally wanted to treat this child as his own ......"

Shen Xiaoxia has a knife mouth and a tofu heart, and she really hates and pities her second brother who is obsessed with Xia Zisu, so she has no good impression of Xia Zisu at all. It's just that he was chased and killed by thieves that night, and then fainted, thanks to this woman who happened to save her life and owed a favor. Seeing that Xia Zisu was getting pregnant, I was afraid that she would give birth soon, so I had to endure to accompany her. And Xia Zisu has always been used to it, but now that she is pregnant, she is even more domineering, regardless of Shen Xiaoxia's dissuasion, she insisted on going to the west of Sichuan to find her teacher. From Jin to Sichuan, there are two roads, from Shanxi to Shaanxi, and then to Hanzhong, although this road is closer, but to go over the Qinling Mountains. Shen Xiaoxia suggested taking the waterway, from Henan and Hubei to Sichuan, although the road is farther and easier. But Xia Zisu was not only afraid that many people would be discovered, but also afraid that Huguang was originally where Shao Jingshimen was located, and it was one of the strongholds of the Loyalty and Righteousness League, and it would be more difficult to run into acquaintances there, so he insisted on not allowing it, and the two women tossed to Qinling Road and suffered a lot.

Now, thinking that the second brother originally married Xia Zisu wholeheartedly and regarded the child in her womb as his own, Xia Zisu was so ignorant that he actually ran away without permission, and even Long Xueyin, who was involved in the Loyalty and Righteousness Alliance, went to her separately, further weakening Shenjiazhuang's defense force. Thinking of this, Shen Xiaoxia couldn't help but complain in the name of sighing.

How could Xia Zisu not hear the meaning of her words? It's just that one has no feelings for Shen Ergongzi, and the other is quite disgusted with this wishful thinking, and now listening to Shen Xiaoxia's words, he faintly put the cause of the tragedy of Shenjiazhuang on his head. She has always been arrogant and has a mediocre emotional intelligence, and she is quite pregnant at the moment, where can she tolerate it? As soon as the blood came up, he fainted. panicked, Shen Xiaoxia hurriedly shouted: "Sister Xia! Sister Xia! ”…… It's a mess.

Wuchang, Liang Ruyuan's residence.

Liang Ruyuan, a famous scholar of the Ming Dynasty in the Jiajing Dynasty, was in the study, chatting with his high-footed Shao Jing. There was a pot of good tea and two porcelain cups in front of him, but the master and apprentice had forgotten the advantages and disadvantages of tasting tea and the turbidity of the water.

Liang Ruyuan said: "Shocking wind, you brought back that strange book, and I have already read it hastily for the teacher." What is said in it, there are many subtleties, but there are some specious, and I have no compatibility with the Ming Dynasty, if it is forced, it is a blessing or a curse, it is difficult to predict. Some of the weapons forging methods involved in it, if they can really be made, they are very powerful. Therefore, from the teacher's point of view, this book cannot be regarded as idle, but it cannot be trusted, and it must be carefully evaluated to see which terms can be tried in the Ming Dynasty, step by step, it may be beneficial. ”

Shao Jingmei danced and said, "What the teacher said is very good. It's just that when the disciples saw what was said in this book, the people ruled by the people, and the court was elected by the people, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. If I do this tomorrow morning, how can the traitor Yan Song control the government and slander the loyal and good? Therefore, it is urgent to implement this new law as soon as possible in order to rectify the situation. ”

Liang Ruyuan said: "Okay, shocking, I have to have the courage to think and dare to act, so that Wang Gong Yangming can achieve the great cause." In this way, you can spend some time in Wuchang, and our master and apprentice will discuss it slowly. As for the secret vessels, I also know a few exquisite craftsmen in Wuchang, so you can take advantage of the gap to discuss with them. Even if we create a divine army, it will be of great benefit to the defense of our country. (To be continued......)
