After chasing this side for less than two hours, I saw horses parked outside in a sheltered den, and dozens of tents of various sizes were set up inside, which looked very rough and simple.

Maybe they were frightened, or maybe they were used to doing this kind of thing, and there were no two sentry.

So the Jinyi guard prepared the bow and crossbow firearms, and with a burst of charge, he killed a few back and forth in the column of horses, except for a few tongues, and killed all the rest.

"My lord, those tongues have been tortured, they are all the same words, they got the news from Datong, they came to intercept them halfway, it was a tribal leader who led the team, and risked killing people and goods near the city of naturalization, just because they gave Kobdo an offering every year, so Kobdo connived at them. ”

Lin Zhao nodded and said in a cold voice:

"Kill them all, build a Jingguan!"

The tone was very flat, and I didn't feel anything below, only to hear screams and angry scolding in the camp, and soon the food was clean.

The group returned to the camp with their heads, but it was already dawn.

Dajian didn't plan to move forward, and after arranging for people to rotate on duty, everyone rested.

Continue your departure the next day.

However, after they left, they left behind a view of Beijing made up of more than 1,000 heads.

On the return journey, everyone had been following Lin Zhao for a long time, and they could also feel that the commander of the brocade guard was a little sullen, Li Long approached and persuaded in a low voice:

"My lord, there are some miscellaneous pieces left and right, and if you kill them, you will kill them, and they have been built into a Jingguan to deter the king and the horse bandit tribe, so why bother. ”

"More than a hundred years ago, my Central Plains was almost lost, and how long has it been, and the border pass has been played by this group of tribesmen, which is really unpleasant to watch!"

Lin Zhao replied lightly.

In other words, it seems that after the birth of machine guns, the steppe peoples became good at singing and dancing.

With such a strong repressive force of feudalism in the Great Zhou, it seems unrealistic to want to liberate the productive forces and manufacture machine guns on a large scale.

Or strengthen industry and commerce, make the Junkers of the Zhou Dynasty bigger, and arm the Han merchant groups at the border?

Seems like an option.

Thinking about this, Li Long asked, "My lord, are we still dressed up as a brocade guard?"

"No, let's change it to a merchant group and enter the Naturalization City in a big way. ”

Lin Zhao suddenly smiled.

A merchant group of 500 people walked on the grassland, which seemed to be very eye-catching.

But after entering the Naturalization City, it is not uncommon.

From the Western Regions, from Datong, from the grasslands, there are many caravans and caravans, and almost every caravan caravan is hundreds or thousands of people.

There are many business travelers, so that although Guihua City is a border town, merchants from all walks of life gather, and it is more prosperous than other places.

That's what a transportation hub city is all about.

A group of people rode into the city gate and walked on the main street, like other cities, the road connecting the city gate is one of the widest streets in a city, the so-called main street is also.

Not long after the horse team entered the city, they found that there was a chaos in front of them, and Lin Zhao didn't know what to do, but a man on the side of the street hurriedly walked out of the house and shouted:

"This guest officer, let the horse team to the side of the road first, the team of the old man of the University of Science and Technology is coming, and his family can't rush!"

Lin Zhao exchanged glances with the people around him, then waved his hand, and the people behind him led their horses towards the side of the road, Lin Zhao smiled at the man and nodded, thanked him, the man replied with a smile, and went home.

After all, it is approaching the end of the year, and the merchants all want to go home for the New Year, and at this time, the merchants who have traveled a long way to Guihua City are a small number after all, and the people on the street are very conscious, and they are all flashing to both sides of the street.

It didn't take long for dozens of horsemen to appear on the streets, all of them were fierce and sturdy knights, looking at the appearance of the Han and Mongolian tribes, talking and laughing loudly as if no one was around, galloping on horseback, swaggering past in front of everyone's eyes, looking at this direction should go out of the city.

Lin Zhao and the others were just about to hurry, but they heard someone on the side talking:

"Thanks to someone reminding me, the one who came from Jinan Mansion a few days ago was not knocked down by these people with horses and broke their legs......"

The people around heard this, and Li Long and Pei Lun were clear-minded, and immediately turned their heads to look at Lin Zhao.

Lin Zhao just smiled slightly: "Hurry up and find an inn and rest first." ”

......

In the city of Chang'an, Laba has passed, the flavor of the year is getting stronger and stronger, and it has rained one or two snows, when the plum blossoms of the cui nunnery are about to thank, Daiyu is finally free, accompanied by Rong Mama and a few maids, to Rongguo Mansion to give gifts, or to participate in the plum blossom poetry society of the Grand View Garden.

She first went to Jia's mother to say goodbye, and confessed: "My brother should have come together, but my brother received the emperor's mission and was rushing to Suiyuan Guihua City, and before leaving, he told me that if I came here, I would greet my grandmother for me." ”

Jia Mu said with a smile: "Since your brother is a Jinyi Weidutang, he is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, so he should naturally serve the country and His Majesty wholeheartedly, but it is really hard to go to the outside of the cold winter and the moon." ”

Dai Yufang greeted Mrs. Xingwang and the sisters. Sister Feng said with a smile: "Old ancestor, I'm just afraid that I don't know, Cousin Lin went to Saiwai on an errand because His Majesty's prelude was too perfect, and the emperor and the elder felt that he was too sharp, and he had to sharpen and sharpen him, so he made him suffer." ”

Jia Mu said: "Where did you inquire about the news?"

Sister Feng said: "Where else do you need to inquire? Now everyone in the capital knows it, saying that Uncle Lin is a genius, and a letter of "Songjiang Open Port" has attracted the attention of the government and the opposition, the first assistant of the cabinet and the second assistant of the cabinet, in addition to the three Shangshu of the six departments, there is also a cabinet elder He Yingren who is only a scholar, and several people take turns to ask questions, but our Uncle Lin not only answers fluently, but also can draw inferences, in the end, Zhang Ge Lao and Tian Ge Lao have nothing to say, and a few Shangshu are even more shameless, and ask for tea and water for the sage. ”

Jia Mu hurriedly asked Daiyu, "Yu'er, but is it true?"

Daiyu said with a smile: "My brother didn't tell me, but it's everywhere on the street, and I also asked the brocade brothers who served my brother in front of me, and they all said that my brother has asked many people and consulted countless materials for this story." Speaking of which, I've seen my brother fight at night several times. ”

Jia Mu sighed: "It is said that there is no hard work, no gain, this is true." Brother Zhao can do this, and many people can't reach it. ”

Sister Feng said with a smile: "Ancestor, this is not the end, I heard my mother say that my father went back to learn from her, saying that after our Uncle Lin left, the emperor asked Zhang Tingyu Zhang Ge Lao, how is this son......?

"It's to stand out. Baochai smiled: "Feng girl should also learn some books, and she must also recognize some commonly used idioms." ”

Sister Feng glanced at her and said with a smile: "I'm just a shabby, not smarter than you girls, and I can't learn." However, my family Qiao'er learned from the master of Lin County, and her future achievements are not as bad as your girls. Ancestor, my father said, the ministers of the cabinet said that Uncle Lin was a genius, but Zhang Ge said again, saying that young people are difficult to become great without tempering, there was a genius named Zhang Juzheng, who participated in the scientific examination at the age of thirteen, but the examiner thought that he was young and wanted to sharpen him for a few years. Your Majesty thought about it, and asked Uncle Lin not to spend the New Year at home, so hurry up and go on a business trip to sharpen and sharpen!

In the midst of everyone's laughter, Daiyu's face was slightly red, she smiled, nodded silently, and her eyes narrowed with a smile.

Half a sound Dai Yucai said: "Actually, it's not so dramatic, after all, my brother is the Jinyi Wei Dutang, and he is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and there is a situation in the country and locality, and those who can use Jinyi Wei will naturally be dealt with by my brother, which is my duty." Speaking of which, my brother said that he still likes to sit at the desk alone and read and drink tea. ”

Xiangyun said: "Yes, I thought that Uncle Lin's favorite thing was to dance with knives and guns, otherwise how would I do Jinyi Weidutang." As he spoke, he shook his mouth and laughed.

As soon as these words came out, there was a slight silence in the room, and Jia Mu's face sank a little.

Daiyu's eyes turned cold, and she said, "Look at what Miss Shi said." This matter of Jinyiwei is a serious errand assigned by His Majesty, how can it be regarded as a hobby?

Xichun couldn't help but roll her eyes and said: "Disobeying the decree is a crime of raiding the family, Sister Yun won't know it, right? If Sister Yun really doesn't understand the affairs of the imperial court, let's ask the two uncles of the Shi family more in the future, after all, the person Sister Yun wants to marry is a local magistrate, and it is better to know more about some officialdom truths, and the province will drag the future brother-in-law Yun back." ”

Xiangyun's face flushed, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Tanchun made a round and said: "That's it, it's rare for Sister Lin to come over, let's go to the garden to compose poems - it's a pity that the second brother went to the temple to kneel today, and there is one less person." ”

Daiyu smiled and said nothing: If he didn't know that Baoyu was not there, how could he come over today?

Seeing that the atmosphere was improving, Jia Mu was a little tired in her heart, and she didn't want to be angry for some reason, so she said: "That's it, I'm tired, I heard that your sister has made a poetry club, hurry up, my wife wants to be quiet." ”

Everyone hurriedly stood up and greeted them, and then rushed out,
