Wang Dan and Chen Su led a thousand soldiers and horses of the personal guard battalion to go straight to Montenegro Fort, and when it was dark, they rushed to the south of Montenegro Fort; The Tartar rangers in the north got the report and thought that the Ming army was attacking in a big way, and a small number of Tartar soldiers and horses that were originally dispersed by Jiang Bin last night had just returned to the walled fort to breathe a sigh of relief, and when they heard the news, they hurriedly fled and disappeared without a trace.

The defenders in the Black Mountain Fort had already received the news, and the hundred households guarding the fort hurriedly came down to greet them, and Chen Su asked, "Where is Jiang Bin?" Tell him to come down to meet the commander. ”

The hundred households hurriedly said: "Jiang Qianhu led his troops to the west of Wanshan Fort in the afternoon to inspect, and he is no longer in Black Mountain Fort. ”

Wang Dan was furious, and ordered people to search the Black Mountain Fort before and after, not surprisingly, the Tartar prisoners were gone, only a dozen or so Tartar soldiers who had lost their breath were tied to the wooden pillars on the northern slope, and the two Tartar officers named Hua Buwen and Daruchi did not see them at all, according to the hundred households guarding the Black Mountain Fort, Jiang Qianhu took these two people away with the team.

Wang Dan immediately ordered to rush to Wanshan Fort, twenty miles to the southwest, but when he arrived at Wanshan Fort half an hour later, he was left empty, and the officers and soldiers guarding the fort said that Jiang Qianhu had returned to the city with his soldiers and horses two hours ago.

The angry Wang Dan scolded repeatedly, hurriedly turned around and led the troops back to Ulzhou, tossing until nearly three watches, before arriving in the city of Ulzhou, a person sleepy and out of breath; Wang Dan didn't dare to delay time, he was afraid that Jiang Bin would report the news first, so he led his troops straight to the military camp of Weibei Qianhusuo in Ulzhou in the east of the city, where Jiang Bin handled military affairs on weekdays.

When he entered the military camp of the North Thousand Households, Wang Dan saw more than 100 war horses being fed in the stable, these war horses obviously returned after a long journey, it seems that Jiang Bin has indeed returned, and this time he will never be empty.

Sure enough, Jiang Bin was eating supper in the residence in the camp, a pot of mutton was boiling and boiling, the aroma was fragrant, Jiang Bin sat cross-legged on the stool and ate and drank with a pot of wine, the two veterans were busy with bowls and plates and sifting wine on the side, Wang Dan was so angry in his heart, he was cold and hungry and worked hard all afternoon and midnight, this guy was good, and he hid here to eat supper.

Chen Su kicked the door open and shouted: "Jiang Bin, you are happy, the commander has been looking for you for a long time, but you are drinking here." ”

Jiang Bin stood up suddenly, spit out a piece of sheep bone in his mouth and shouted, "Who the hell is so bold? Dare to go wild in Lao Tzu's barracks? ”

Wang Dan appeared under the light with a gloomy face, and said coldly: "It's me, Jiang Qianhu is so comfortable." ”

Jiang Bin was stunned for a moment, his dark face was full of smiles, and he bowed his hand and said, "It turned out to be the commander, it is rude and rude, please hurry." ”

Wang Dan walked in with a horsewhip in his hand, Jiang Bin repeatedly instructed the veteran who was waiting to take a stool and chopsticks, and said with a smile: "I just came back from the northern walled fort, no, I got some mutton pot to relieve my fatigue, do you want to have some?" ”

Wang Dan wanted to refuse, but his stomach rumbled twice, so he simply sat down at the table, reached out and took chopsticks to pick up a piece of mutton and put it in his mouth to chew, Jiang Bin smiled and said, "Is there anything you have to do when you come late at night?" ”

Wang Dan sneered and didn't answer, suddenly waved his hand, and said to the people around him: "Give me all out, wait outside, the old man and Jiang Qianhu have the opportunity to discuss military affairs." ”

Everyone hurriedly exited the house, Jiang Bin smiled slightly, slowly walked over and tied the door of the house, turned around and sat in the original position, raised the wine jug to pour wine for Wang Dan, Wang Dan did not answer, took a sip of the cup, and let out a heavy breath.

"Jiang Qianhu, you are not small." Wang Dan squinted at Jiang Bin and said sarcastically.

"Humble and talented, no ability, only some brute force, Lord Miaozan." Jiang Bin regarded the meat and hemp as interesting, and the right to treat it as a compliment.

"Huh, brute force? I think you are resourceful, comparable to Zhuge reincarnation. ”

"Don't you dare, why do you exalt me like this today? I, Jiang Bin, have not received such praise in seven or eight years under the hands of adults. ”

"Don't pretend to be garlic with me, I heard that you raided the temporary Tartar fort last night and captured a lot of Tartar prisoners, right?"

"Not much, only a dozen, all tied to the north slope of the Black Mountain Fort to be a target for the brothers, these dog Tartars are very arrogant, the New Year is approaching, the humble duty is to beat their arrogance, to give our Ulzhou military and civilians a good year. If you don't inform your adult beforehand, you won't blame your humble duty. ”

"Hehe, where do you dare to blame, when did you Jiang Qianhu take the old man in your eyes?"

Jiang Bin hurriedly said: "My lord, I can't say that, yesterday the lord was busy receiving the military department to select the governor, and he was afraid that the lord would be distracted, so he didn't report it, and he also wanted to give the lord a surprise, is the lord blamed for the humiliation?" ”

Wang Dan glared and said: "Don't pretend to be garlic with me, do you know why I came today, the old man went to Black Mountain Fort in the afternoon to make a detour to Wanshan Fort, chased after your ass and ate the cold wind for a long time, but now you come to pretend to be confused with me?" ”

Jiang Bin rolled his eyes and said innocently: "What the hell is going on?" My lord said it clearly. ”

Wang Dan slapped the chopsticks on the table and said, "Are these two people in your hands?" ”

Jiang Bin's face changed drastically, and he suddenly stood up and said, "How do you know these two people?" ”

Wang Dan snorted and scolded: "You are conspiring against the old man behind your back, and you still want to keep the old man in the dark, don't think about it!" What can escape the eyes and ears of the old man in Ulju City? Someone had already told the old man; Jiang Bin, Jiang Bin, you are not small, you dare to calculate the old man, you are killing yourself. ”

Jiang Bin gritted his teeth and scolded: "Fang Datong of this dog day, it must be this guy who ran to ventilate and report the news, my lord, I can't hide it, these two people are indeed in my hands, but I can't hand them over to you, because the things that these two people confessed are extremely important, and it is better for adults to avoid suspicion; I intend to hand over these two men, together with their confessions, to the Governor of the Examination, that the matter may be ascertained from above; It turned out that the lord brought a large group of people here for this matter, and he didn't believe what the Tartar said, but now he believes it a little. ”

Wang Dan sneered and said: "You are still pretending to be garlic, this matter is clearly planned by you, you must be afraid that the old man will investigate your responsibility for the raid on Montenegrin Fort, and you want to blackmail the old man with this, you have done a good show." ”

Jiang Bin's eyes widened angrily and shouted, "How can an adult spew blood? I see, you want to bite back and shirk responsibility, could it be that you really colluded with the Tartars? If that's the case, don't blame Jiang Bin for being unkind to you, you don't know your heart, you just want to be an adult, but your character is a little worse, you are greedy for money and lustful, and those small sections are fine, as long as you don't lose the big festivals, you are still my Ming man, but I didn't expect you to lose your integrity. ”

Wang Danqi's body trembled, and he roared: "Stop, are you blind? Are you deaf? Do you have a brain? How could the old man collude with the Tartars? What am I drawing? ”

Jiang Bin sneered: "This sentence has to ask you yourself, how do I know Lu Dao." ”

Wang Dan stretched out his hand and overturned the table with a hula, the cups and plates of hot pot fell to the ground, the ground was full of smoke and dust, and the soup was dripping and messy, Chen Su and a group of soldiers outside heard the movement, and kicked the door open with a few feet, and saw Jiang Bin and Wang Dan standing opposite each other, and they all pulled out their blades and shouted and shouted, surrounding Jiang Bin in the middle.

Jiang Bin sneered and said: "Sure enough, I really exposed my true appearance, I tell you, I, Jiang Bin is not a soft bone, otherwise I would not have taken the risk of reporting the matter of the adult's forcible seizure of the land, even if I killed me, you can't get the evidence witness, someone will send the witness evidence to the capital early tomorrow morning, hehe, Lao Tzu is waiting for you on the Nai He Bridge." ”

Chen Su scolded angrily: "What nonsense? Jiang Bin, you are guilty of rebellion, and you are innocent of death. ”

Jiang Bin smiled and said, "Where did the dog come from barking here?" Is it your turn to speak? If it weren't for nepotism, would you also be worthy of being my Ulzhou Wei guard? ”

Chen Su shouted angrily, put the blade in his hand against Jiang Bin's throat and scolded: "You have the courage to say it again!" ”

Wang Dan suddenly shouted: "Get out of the way for Lao Tzu!" ”

Everyone was stunned, and Chen Su was puzzled: "Brother-in-law! This ......"

"Get out!!" Wang Dan shouted again, Chen Su hurriedly waved his hand and led the people out of the door, coming in quickly and leaving the Lu just as quickly.

Wang Dan sat down slowly, and said in a dumb voice: "Tell me, what do you want to do?" ”

Jiang Bin laughed silently, stretched out his hand to help up a stool on the ground, wiped the soup on it and sat down, and said slowly: "It depends on what the adult thinks, the humble position is the subordinate of the adult, and everything is under the orders of the adult." ”

Wang Dan ignored the humiliation in Jiang Bin's words, sighed and said: "Jiang Qianhu, you and I have worked together for many years, although we can't talk about how to get along and how to tacit understanding, but I, Wang Dan, have nothing to do with you; At the beginning, you secretly reported the old man's annexation of the military household Tuntian, and the old man did not retaliate against you because of this, this time the old man felt that it was a discordant plan of the Tartars, how could you take it seriously? If you report the witness evidence to the imperial court, and the imperial court sends someone to verify it, it actually has no effect on me. ”

Jiang Bin smiled and said: "The humble position also believes in the innocence of the adult, so the humble official decided to inform the Jinyi Wei Baihu Fang Datong of this matter, and he will report to the imperial court to send someone to verify it, and return the adult's innocence." ”

Wang Dan shook his head and said: "Since you also think that I am innocent, why bother to do this, just hand over the Tartar captives to me, and the old man will naturally interrogate the truth; The old man doesn't say anything outside, although he will return the old man's innocence after reporting to the court, but there are always rumors spreading, rumors that this thing is the most hateful thing in the world, and it is difficult to ensure that someone has ulterior motives to spread it, so there is still a loss to the old man's reputation, in that case, don't you hurt the old man? ”

Jiang Bin shook his head and said, "You can't say that, how can the rumors be credible?" A wise man would never believe rumors, and the emperor and cabinet elders would not have any other opinions about the adults because of the rumors, so why should the adults worry about these details. ”

Wang Dan said: "Let's tell you this, Jinyi Wei Fang Baihu also thinks that it is inappropriate to report to the court, he thinks that it is better to delay a few days to find out the truth, the old man is not here to ask the master to ask you to blame, but to discuss with you, let the old man interrogate the two Tartar captives and ask the truth, if Jiang Qianhu can help the old man with this, the old man will be grateful." ”

Jiang Bin was surprised: "Fang Datong agreed? It stands to reason that it can't, Jinyiwei can't wait for a big case. ”

Wang Dan scolded angrily in his heart, since he knew that the Dao Jinyi Wei was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, but you notified Fang Datong as soon as possible, making it clear that you wanted Lao Tzu to look good; was angry in his heart, but he said: "That's because Fang Baihu knows the general situation, and he knows that there must be something strange about this matter, and the old man will never collude with the Tartars, so for the stability of the border of Ulzhou, he decided to do this; Your Jiang Qianhu's character and martial arts are all first-class, so you can't even be inferior to Fang Datong. ”

Jiang Bin scratched his head and said: "If you want to say so, it is a lowly job to be impatient, it seems that the lowly position should think about the overall situation." ”

Wang Dan smiled and stroked his palms lightly and smiled: "That's right, Jiang Qianhu is generally reasonable, and I knew before I came that Jiang Qianhu would never be confused." ”
