When Lin Mang returned to the West Courtyard, he was already close to his own time.

It was an unexpected joy to discover the great shift of the Ming Sect in the Holy Fire Order.

There have long been rumors in the rivers and lakes that the Ming Sect Twelve Holy Fire Orders, some of which record the Ming Sect's divine skills, and the great shift.

It's just that this rumor has not been confirmed so far, and the Mingjiao Holy Fire Order is even more in the rivers and lakes, and there is no trace of it.

If it weren't for the help of the system, he wouldn't have been able to discover the great shift recorded in the Holy Fire Order.

If his guess was correct, the content of this exercise should have been recorded in the Holy Fire Order.

And the Holy Flame Order is comparable to a divine soldier, so naturally no one can know about it.

This skill is divided into seven levels of realm, and it takes seven years for a person with high comprehension to practice the first level, and the second level is doubled, and it is increased one by one, of course, there is a system, and he does not have this limit at all.

In his opinion, this exercise has a very powerful effect – it stimulates potential.

For example, the weak can instantly stimulate a thousand catties of great strength at a critical juncture.

This is where the effect of the Great Shift lies.

In addition, one law, ten thousand laws, any martial arts in front of it has no secret to speak of.

It's exaggerated, but it's amazingly subtle.

The only pity is that the great shift recorded in this holy fire order is not complete, only the first four layers.

……

Nothing was said all night.

On the second day, I heard that the East and West No. 2 Factory and Jinyiwei went out of Beijing in large numbers.

It is said that even the factory supervisor of the West Factory, Yuhuatian, went in person.

The master of the East and West No. 2 Factory was already in charge of some of the palace guards, and let people steal the Holy Flame Order from the palace and sell it, and Long Yan was furious for a while.

Wouldn't it be possible to steal the Holy Fire Order and threaten the Emperor's life?

It can be said that it really violated the emperor's bottom line.

Zhang Qianshan and others pursued the Holy Flame Order, and at the same time found clues, which naturally received strong praise from His Majesty.

Of course, the East and West No. 2 Factory was naturally reprimanded.

Soon, there were rumors in the rivers and lakes.

The reason why the palace was stolen was a competition between a group of thieves on the rivers and lakes.

On the rivers and lakes, there is an organization called the Thief Gate.

It's more of a loose alliance than any other organization.

Its members are all well-known thieves in the rivers and lakes, and they have no place to station, and their whereabouts are uncertain.

Even according to rumors in the rivers and lakes, its founder is the thief Shuai, Chu Liuxiang, but this rumor has never been confirmed.

And it was Sikong who stole the Holy Flame Order from the palace.

To be able to steal things from the palace and put them up for auction is indeed bold enough.

Lin Mang put down the secret report in his hand and picked up the tea cup on the table with a smile.

Now it seems that the first floor has no time to find its own trouble.

His Majesty reprimanded the East and West No. 2 Factory, and the people of the two factories naturally couldn't complain about Jinyiwei, so they could only point the finger at the first floor.

If it weren't for the sale on the first floor, His Majesty wouldn't be so angry.

Tang Qi walked in from outside the courtyard and arched his hand: "My lord, you call me?" ”

"Hmm." Lin Mang put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Regarding the matter of Meizhou Xingyi, you can deal with it." ”

"Since this person wants to enter Beijing, arrange a position of 100 households, or arrange a deputy 1000 households in the experience department."

He is a thousand households, if he is not demoted, how can there be a vacant seat for him.

Although he now has a quota of 1,000 households under his command, those 100 households are staring at them one by one.

If it is given to a person from other places, it is inevitable that people's hearts will fluctuate.

Only when there is that seat can these people see hope and be motivated.

Although he sent a lot of money, in the final analysis, if he didn't solve the leader of the seven factions by himself, he couldn't get rid of the seven factions.

With this feat, if you stay up for another two years, you can naturally be promoted, or transferred to a rich place.

Released from the capital, the treatment is naturally different.

Tang Qi hesitated: "My lord, will Lord Xing be willing?" ”

After all, it is a thousand households, and let it serve as a hundred, the gap is too big.

Lin Mang's index finger lightly tapped on the table, pondered for a moment, and said, "You send a letter to Meizhou and ask his opinion." ”

The two were talking, and a brocade guard came in a hurry outside the courtyard.

The person who came bowed and said, "My lord, the appeasement envoy urgently called you forward." ”

Lin Mang frowned slightly, why was he in such a hurry, he needed to be called urgently?

He immediately got up and rushed to the hall of the pacification envoy.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Yuan Changqing anxiously pacing in place, frowning.

There was a hint of deep worry between his brows.

"Adult ......"

Before Lin Mang finished speaking, Yuan Changqing beckoned, "Come in." ”

"You're welcome."

"Something is wrong."

As he spoke, Yuan Changqing handed a secret report to Lin Mang.

"This is last night's eight-hundred-mile urgency, and early this morning, I was called into the palace, and Your Majesty was furious."

Lin Mang opened the secret report curiously, glanced at it roughly, and Tong Kongmeng shrank.

"This ......"

Lin Mang looked up at Yuan Changqing and said in surprise: "Is this news true?" ”

Yuan Changqing sighed: "It's true, there was a rebellion in Jiangxi, and the leader was named Liu Ruguo, who called himself the "Iron Mask Taishi", and in just ten days, he invaded Huguang and part of Jiangxi. ”

"The local Jinyi guard risked his life to send this news, and the situation there is still unknown."

"There is even the participation of the White Lotus Sect in this, and the most important thing is that there is one person in it, I think you will be familiar with it."

"Who?" Lin Mang was stunned.

"Zuodu Governor Li Wengui!"

Lin Mang was taken aback and said, "Brother of Marquis Wu Qing? ”

He also learned about this later.

"That's right." Yuan Changqing nodded and said, "This person took advantage of his identity to induce the local defenders to open the city gate, otherwise Jiangxi and Huguang would not have fallen so quickly." ”

"According to reliable sources, this person has a lot to do with the White Lotus Sect, and is even a member of the White Lotus Sect."

Yuan Changqing shook his head, sat down on the side, stretched out his hand and pinched his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Now it seems that you killed Wu Qinghou by mistake, so that their plan was advanced." ”

"Your Majesty was furious this morning, and killed several eunuchs who were once related to Marquis Wuqing, and the officials involved in Marquis Wuqing were dismissed."

Lin Mang said in his heart, can you not be angry.

As a relative, the emperor's uncle, but he made his nephew's rebellion, which no one can tolerate.

Marquis Wuqing, the emperor is already preferential enough.

As for what happened after that, after all, it was the emperor, and he was very human, and when he sat in that seat, he naturally had to think more.

Lin Mang thought for a moment and asked, "I guess that guy's banner is to avenge his brother, right?" ”

Yuan Changqing looked up at Lin Mang, a little surprised, and then nodded.

"Wolf ambition!"

Lin Mang put down the secret report and asked, "What does Your Majesty say?" ”

Yuan Changqing motioned for Lin Mang to sit down, and said slowly: "The cabinet is already discussing counterinsurgency matters. ”

"You should know that in addition to being in charge of the guards and patrolling and arresting, my Jinyi Guard also has the task of collecting military information, reconnaissance, and assassination."

"In this quelling the rebellion, Your Majesty ordered my Jinyi Guard to assist the military."

"It's just that now the Department of Suppression is understaffed due to the investigation of the theft of the palace, and this matter can only fall on your head."

"And ......" After a pause, Yuan Changqing said coldly: "In this rebellion, there are also Jianghu sects from all over the country involved. ”

"The strength of the local Jinyiwei is limited, so I can only ask the Jinyiwei in Beijing to go."

Lin Mang secretly smacked his tongue.

This will finally remind him of who this iron-masked master is.

However, according to the historical records, this person set off an uprising in the sixteenth year of Wanli, but he didn't expect it to be so much in advance.

Lin Mang got up and said, "I know what to do." ”

Yuan Changqing glanced at Lin Mang and said, "The general who suppressed the rebellion in the imperial court this time is Luo Shangzhi, a famous general of the Zhejiang army, you can learn more." ”

"Jinyiwei needs reconnaissance intelligence, and you need to set off first."

Lin Mang nodded, bowed, and said, "I'll go and prepare." ”

……

North Town Fusi, West Courtyard.

Tang Qi noticed Lin Mang's face and was shocked: "My lord, but what happened?" ”

Lin Mang said bluntly: "There is a rebellion in Jiangxi, Huguang! ”

"What?" Tang Qi exclaimed, and then said in surprise: "My lord, we are going to the land of Huguang?" ”

"Hmm." Lin Mang nodded and said, "Go and gather people." ”

"Tell them to get things in place as soon as possible."

The counterinsurgency is destined to take a long time and be more dangerous.

Tang Qi bowed down and left quickly.

……

Lunch

In the martial arts training ground of the West Courtyard, a total of 823 Jinyi guards were all assembled.

Lin Mang was dressed in a vermilion flying fish suit, with an embroidered spring knife on his waist, and he walked in a tiger's step.

The wind is howling!

The black cloak stretched slowly in the strong wind.

Behind him, Pixiu followed step by step, exuding an awe-inspiring momentum.

During this time, it was served with good food and drink in the Zhenfu Division, and its strength had already been reborn.

Lin Mang glanced at everyone, without any nonsense, and shouted in a deep voice: "Let's go!" ”

"Yes!"

Everyone shouted in unison and quickly turned on their horses.

The gate of Beizhen Fuji slowly opened.

Lin Mang rode Pixiu, jumped out first, and went straight to the dock.

The distance between Huguang and Guangzhou is too far, and taking the land route will inevitably delay time, and only by taking the water route can we save time.

After a group of brocade guards sailed out of Beizhen Fusi, they went straight to the dock.

On the streets, there seems to be the sound of thunder roaring in the sky.

At this moment, on the bank of the pier, three three-masted gunboats were already moored.

The length of the ship is nearly twenty zhang, and it looks unusually grand.

On the shore, a group of soldiers waited here.

Seeing the Jinyi guard coming, a general in front of him walked up quickly.

"Lord Lin!"

As soon as the person came, he took the initiative to introduce: "Xiaguan Yu Hou is responsible for this transportation." ”

Lin Mang turned over and jumped down, and also arched his hand: "I'm tired of Lord Yu." ”

Yu Hou glanced at Lin Mang without a trace, and said with a smile: "It's a matter of duty." ”

Then he stretched out his hand and gestured, "Lord Lin, please board the boat." ”

Lin Mang bowed slightly, turned around and shouted, "Board the ship!" ”

A group of brocade guards quickly turned over and dismounted, and began to board the bed in an orderly manner.

Lin Mang led Pixiu and boarded a big ship in the middle with Yu Hou.

After everyone boarded the boat, Yu Hou shouted: "Let's go!" ”

The flag-bearers around them began waving flags and conveying orders.

"Woo~"

The melodious sound of trumpets sounded slowly, and the drums were beating.

The big ship slowly turned around, and the huge sails were raised.

"Boom!"

The giant ship went out to sea like a dragon, sailing into the depths of the river like a wind and waves.

The waves rolled and parted in both directions.

Lin Mang held the hull of the ship with one hand and looked behind him, the capital gradually shrank, and finally became a black spot......

In the middle of the city, the outer courtyard of the city.

Pavilions, small bridges and flowing water.

In an exquisite gazebo, two figures sit facing each other.

In front of the two of them was a game of Go.

"Smack!"

One of them, an old man in a Confucian shirt, dropped his head lightly and said softly, "It's your turn." ”

Opposite it was an old man in a blue robe, but he didn't look like an old man at all, and his face was ruddy.

"Huh!"

"It's a dead game."

Wang Wenyan, who was dressed in a Confucian shirt, stroked his beard and chuckled: "What I want is dead chess." ”

Yang Hexiu put down the chess pieces, picked up the tea on the side, tasted it slowly, and said softly: "Jinyiwei has left Beijing." ”

"There was a rebellion in Huguang and Jiangxi, and Li Wengui, the governor of Zuodu, participated in it."

"It's been another eventful time."

Wang Wenyan stroked his beard and chuckled: "These things can't affect you, the head of the household, right?" ”

Yang Hexiu smiled: "You don't understand this, right?" ”

"This war is a war with ten thousand taels of gold, and money is needed everywhere."

"Grain and grass, ringing silver, this is a great beginning, not to mention the post-war pension."

Wang Wenyan dropped lightly, looked up at him, and said, "This time it's Your Majesty's money again, right?" ”

"I can't help it."

"The household department has no money." Yang Hexiu sighed, shook his head, and said, "In my opinion, it's just that they are not ruthless enough to those untouchables, and they are too full to eat, so they have the strength to rebel." ”

"Rebellion and rebellion, rebellion every day, in the end it is not suppressed."

Wang Wenyan didn't talk, but asked, "I heard that the god of killing in Beijing went this time?" ”

Yang Hexiu sneered and said disdainfully: "It's just a madman." ”

"Reckless charlatans."

"The affairs of officialdom have never been solved by fighting, killing, and killing."

"If that's the case, there will be no need for a large army to move forward in this rebellion."

Yang Hexiu held the tea cup and said softly: "If he leaves Beijing, I don't know how many people want him to die." ”

Wang Wenyan stroked his beard for a moment, glanced at him deeply, and asked with a smile, "Is Lord Yang also one of them?" ”

Yang Hexiu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he blew the tea leaves gently, but did not answer for a while.

"Death!"

Yang Hexiu sighed and said quietly: "Brother Wen Yan's chess strength has risen. ”

"Haha!"

Wang Wenyan laughed.

He knows the answer!

……

The road from Jingshi to Huguangcheng Tianfu is long, and even if it is by water, it will take five days.

This is still due to the large ships in the army, and if it is an ordinary ship, it will take at least ten days.

On the night of the fifth day,

The ship docked at the pier outside Chengtianfu.

Lin Mang walked off the boat with his knife and took a deep breath.

If it weren't for the urgency, he would never have chosen to take a boat.

The brocade guards who got off the boat behind him also had expressions of the rest of their lives.

"Let's go, let's go to Fucheng first!"

In these five days, the rebel offensive has slowed down.

The main reason is that Li Wengui's identity has lost its role, and the cities in various places have already received orders from the imperial court, so naturally they will no longer listen to Li Wengui's words.

But even so, two prefectures still fell in the past five days.

Now there are only five cities left in Huguang, including Chengtian, Xiangyang, Yunyang, De'an, and Jingzhou, which have not yet fallen.

Everyone rushed to the outside of Chengtianfu City.

Because of the rebels, the walls are now full of soldiers.

Seeing the dense figures sneaking in the night, the defenders on the city wall were immediately startled.

"Stop!"

Before the sound fell, an arrow flew away.

The arrow grazed its body.

Lin Mang patted Pixiu, signaled it to stop, and shouted in a deep voice: "This official Beizhen Fusi Jinyi Wei Qianhu is here on order, this is the token." ”

As he spoke, he threw the token out of his hand.

On the city wall, a general took the flying token, investigated it carefully, and saw the flying fish suit below by the light of the fire, and then relieved.

Hurriedly shouted: "Quick, open the city gate." ”

Jinyiwei's tokens are all specially made, which is difficult to counterfeit, and each token has a logo on it.

This is even more true of the tokens of the thousand households.

As the gates opened, a general stepped out of it.

"Commander of Chengtianwei, Xiong Haishan."

"Beizhen Fusi, Lin Mang!"

After a brief exchange between the two, Xiong Haishan said: "Lord Lin, enter the city first to prevent the rebels from sneaking up." ”

Lin Mang nodded and followed Xiong Haishan into the city.

Along the way, Xiong Haishan was silently looking at Lin Mang.

Young!

It was his first impression.

For a moment, a trace of bad thought arose in his heart, it was difficult to be convincing at such a young age.

However, since it is a person sent by the capital and a Jinyi guard, it must not really be a wine bag and rice bag.

A temporary command site has been set up in the city.

Lin Mang instructed Tang Qi to go and settle the brocade guards, and then asked, "Lord Xiong, I don't know how the battle is going now?" ”

Xiong Haishan sighed: "The situation is not optimistic. ”

"This morning, another city has fallen, and the rebels are attacking aggressively."

Lin Mang frowned and asked, "Aren't you still holding on yesterday?" ”

Xiong Haishan slammed his fist on the table and said angrily: "It's not that group of Jianghu sects. ”

"Their disciples blended in with the rebels and attacked and killed the generals in the army, and some martial arts masters infiltrated the city and attacked the defenders in the city."

While the two were talking, the sound of drums suddenly sounded in the outside world.

"Not good!"

Xiong Haishan's face changed slightly, and he exclaimed: "There are rebels coming!" ”

As soon as he grabbed the helmet on the table, he rushed outside.

"Be on guard!

”
