Although Xiao Yao felt that it was impossible for Yan Rongling to send someone to assassinate him with great fanfare.

But since Gu Dian is worried, he still has to obey his future father-in-law.

"That's good, when the time comes, I will go back to Beijing with Gu Shibo, and I will have a good care on the way. To be honest, in fact, I was still a little worried about Yumen Pass, so this time I was only prepared to bring a dozen or so guards back to Beijing lightly. ”

Gu Dian's eyes flashed with disapproval, and he frowned: "With your current official position, even if you bring a hundred guards, that is also what you should do." If you take a dozen or so people on a trip, what if there is an accident? You must know that there are no absolutes in this world, and I am a living and bloody example. ”

When Gu Dian checked the officialdom in Jiangnan, he had already noticed that some people wanted to be unfavorable to him.

That's why I dressed up in disguise and temporarily changed the route back to Beijing. But he still didn't escape the design of someone with a heart, and encountered the incident of Bottle Mountain, so that he was separated from his wife's life and death.

I have been in a mess for more than ten years, if it weren't for my daughter's intelligence, maybe in this life, I would only be able to grow old in Zhulin Temple.

Xiao Yao also thought of Gu Dian's situation, and immediately bowed his head and said, "It's all the juniors who don't think it through, but fortunately, Gu Shibo is with him." When the time comes, if I bring ten more people, it shouldn't be too much. ”

"If you're worried about the Yumen Pass, I don't think it's a big problem with Yang Chi here. Then take fifty people with you, I also traveled lightly this time, and only brought four people with me. ”

Gu Dian opened his mouth, although Xiao Yao felt that there were a lot of people, but he was still ready to listen to Gu Dian's arrangement.

"Yes, then I'll give orders to go down and select fifty people."

Seeing that Xiao Yao was so taught, Gu Dian was very satisfied, and changed his original intention, saying, "Okay, then I'll move into the General's Mansion too." It's more convenient, I can also take a look at it with you, a different Yumen Pass. ”

"Then I'll let someone go to the post station immediately and bring Gu Shibo's luggage over. I also want to talk to Gu Shibo every day to gain some knowledge. ”

Gu Dian knew that Xiao Yao was patting on the back, but he was still very happy.

"I've been in the world for so many years, and I don't know anything about the situation at the border today. Why don't you tell me Xiao Yao, what is the situation of this Liao people now? Who is in power? ”

Xiao Yao opened the curtain on one wall in the study, and a map of the grassland outside the Yumen Pass appeared in front of Gu Dian.

"Gu Shibo, the current king of the Liao people is very young, and the Empress Dowager Liao is in charge of the government. This is a synthesis of the topographic maps I have secretly drawn based on the previous map, as well as the scouts who have followed the caravan in the last two years. It should be the most complete grassland map at present. ”

Gu Dian knew that the grasslands were vast, and the Liao people were also nomadic people, who liked to live in the grass, even if it was the king of the Liao people, they often migrated.

"Nomads migrate a lot, what's the point of you drawing this picture?"

Xiao Yao raised his eyebrows slightly, and his face was filled with a confident smile: "Gu Shibo, I also know that the Liao people are nomadic people and like to live in the grass. But no matter how their royal tents migrated, they had one characteristic, that is, they would not leave the river. ”

As he spoke, Xiao Yao pointed to the river in the map.

He added: "After two years of investigation, I have already known the migration route of the king's tent. If the imperial court is willing to attack the Liao, I am eighty percent sure that I will be able to hit the king's tent directly. ”

Gu Dian looked at Xiao Yao in surprise, but he didn't expect that Xiao Yao not only wanted to guard the Yumen Pass, but even wanted to directly pick the Liao king's account.

If the imperial court really agrees to take the initiative, it can keep the border safe for at least 20 years.

"Well, after returning to Beijing this time, we will report this matter to the emperor. The emperor has a grand plan and has always wanted to expand the territory, if you dare to make a military order, I am also eighty percent sure, the emperor will agree to this matter. ”

Xiao Yao arched his hand and said, "Then everything depends on Gu Shibo." ”

After Gu Dian happily stayed, he not only went in and out of the barracks with Xiao Yao every day, but also inspected the city wall. And at night, he will talk with Xiao Yao at night, and sometimes learn martial arts.

The more they got along, the more satisfied Gu Dian was with Xiao Yao. Whether it is literary or martial arts, or character and habits, Xiao Yao is impeccable!

Soon, the royal court's decree of marriage arrived.

All the soldiers and people of Yumen Pass know that the emperor has married Princess Mingzhu to Xiao Yao, the Marquis of Yingyi, and Xiao Yao will soon return to Beijing to complete the marriage.

Yang Chi also finally received the secret decree and temporarily took over the post of general of Yumen Pass by himself. As for whether he can sit firmly in the future, the position of a general depends on whether Xiao Yao can return to Yumen Pass.

At the same time, the black-robed man who had been outside the Yumen Pass and had overlooked the Yumen Pass had already met the Liao people and was taken back to the king's tent.

When he first arrived, the black-robed man had his hands and feet tied, like a slave. And soon, the black-robed man was regarded as a guest of honor by the Empress Dowager Liao.

The news brought by the black-robed man caused an uproar in the Liao king's tent. Although the Empress Dowager Liao trusts the black-robed people more, she thinks about her own people, and she must carefully investigate the authenticity.

Soon, the Empress Dowager Liao sent more than a dozen people to set off from different places in the grassland, striving to infiltrate Yumen Pass and find out the truth.

In the past two years, because of Xiao Yao's strength and skill, the Liao people have never taken advantage of Xiao Yao's hands. The Empress Dowager Liao hated Xiao Yao to the core, and she was also very jealous.

If it was really as the black-robed man said, Xiao Yao was about to leave Yumen Pass, it was really a great opportunity.

For General Yang Chi, the Empress Dowager Liao was not worried, although Yang Chi was brave, he was reckless and belligerent. He only needs to send someone to lead the battle, then he will definitely fall into the plan and go out to meet him.

What if he could take advantage of Xiao Yao's absence to take the Yumen Pass? When Xiao Yao comes back, he has already occupied Yumen Pass, and with the city and grain, the Liao people will have a bumper harvest year.

Xiao Yao didn't know about these conspiracies on the grassland.

In his relationship with Gu Dian, he was initially respected because of Mingzhu to Gu Dian because of his own talent and learning.

Back then, the emperor also had the intention of letting Gu Dian guard the border pass, so Gu Dian had a very careful understanding of the big Wednesday pass, as well as a good understanding.

In this way, Xiao Yao also learned a lot of knowledge in the conversation with Gu Dian, and Xiao Yao was deeply impressed by Gu Dian's erudition.

In a blink of an eye, it was September 28, Xiao Yao ordered fifty personal guards and set off back to Beijing with Gu Dian.

And the pearl of the capital has been holding his fingers, counting the days when Xiao Yao and his father will return to Beijing. Thinking of Xiao Yao, who had not seen him for two years, Mingzhu had some expectations in her heart and was a little worried.

Looking forward to seeing Xiao Yao, but worried that he wouldn't see him for two years, he just relied on correspondence in case Xiao Yao changed his mind.

Later, even the Empress Dowager Zhong discovered Mingzhu's uneasiness. said with a smile: "Mingzhu, the decree of marriage has been issued, why are you still so worried?" ”

"Grandmother, I don't know, I always feel uncertain."
