Chapter 403: Old Friends Reunited
Datong Town!
Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu were received very warmly by Wang Mingyang, the master of the metropolitan prison.
"Hahaha, Xie Yuangong, Yayuangong!"
"The two major people of my Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces have come to this border full of flames!"
"This is really an honor for my border soldiers!"
"Hahaha......" Seeing the appearance of Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu, Wang Mingyang was extremely happy.
After all, when he was young, Wang Mingyang was a cattle man who crossed the border alone, and even killed the barbarian soldiers of the grassland with his own hands.
As for the imperial examination and the like, it is just a stepping stone for Wang Mingyang to embark on the road to officialdom.
It can be said that it is just Wang Mingyang's side business.
Therefore, seeing Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu appear in front of him, Wang Mingyang was naturally very happy.
In his opinion, even if it is a Confucian scholar who takes the imperial examination, he should have the style of a Confucian scholar in the Han Dynasty, rather than being powerless like a scholar in the previous dynasty.
Only Confucian scholars who have seen the real battlefield can know how to govern the whole world.
"Your Excellency is overrated!" Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu heard Wang Mingyang's praise and hurriedly bowed their hands to Wang Mingyang.
"Smoke is rising at the border again!"
"As the people of Dasheng Kingdom, we really don't want to make books behind closed doors anymore!"
"That's why I came here to take a look and learn!" Huang Tinghui explained to Wang Mingyang.
Although he had already been invited by Wang Mingyang, he rushed to Datong Town directly after the township test.
It is also Huang Tinghui who wants to understand the face of the great enemy of the Great Sheng Kingdom.
"The enemy is quite fierce!"
"Although the Tuzhen clan was blocked by the Li family's father and son!"
"But the Mengwu soldiers are very sharp, and our soldiers are really vulnerable to the battle for a long time!"
"There may be some elite combat power in the border army, but there is still a big gap with the Mengwu cavalry!"
Wang Mingyang has not been in charge of the northern defense line for a long time, so even if he is there, he will not be able to make the loose northern defense line impregnable.
In addition to the time problem, in the imperial court, the local government also constrained Wang Mingyang.
It was difficult for Wang Mingyang to use his hands and feet.
Perhaps the southward movement of the steppe barbarians is essential for breaking and rebuilding the northern defense line.
It's also a good thing.
This time, Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu came to Datong Town, naturally they did not come to enjoy the mountains and rivers.
They listened to Wang Mingyang say these words, and they also learned a lot from them.
Just as the three of them were talking, a voice came.
"Lord Metropolitan Eunuch!"
"Lord Metropolitan Eunuch!!"
Hearing this voice, Wang Mingyang's brows furrowed, and he slowly asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Lord Metropolitan Eunuch!"
"There's a team of people coming from Jiacheng Pass!"
"The leader is seriously wounded!" The soldier said to Wang Mingyang.
"Jiachengguan?"
"Didn't it fall a few days ago?" Wang Mingyang asked a little strangely.
"My subordinates don't know!"
"But the sergeant who escaped said that Jiachengguan was always in their hands."
"It was not until this morning that it completely fell into the hands of the barbarians!"
Wang Mingyang is such a smart person, just hearing such a sentence, he instantly guessed many possibilities.
You must know that the general who escaped a few days ago told him that he had gone through several days of bloody fighting, and was finally outnumbered.
Jiachengguan also fell into the hands of the steppe barbarians in the end.
Now another team of people has come out of Jiacheng Pass, if they are not lying.
That is, the general who escaped a few days ago left his post without permission and fled without a fight.
For iron-blooded ministers like Wang Mingyang, the most intolerable thing he can't tolerate is leaving his post without permission and fleeing without a fight.
Therefore, at this time, Wang Mingyang's eyes were already looming with murderous aura.
"Take me!" Wang Mingyang stared at the soldier and said.
"Yes!"
"Lord Metropolitan Eunuch!" The soldier hurriedly said to Wang Mingyang.
Although Huang Tinghui is very familiar with the place name Jiachengguan, without Wang Mingyang's permission, it is difficult for him to directly follow Wang Mingyang to find out.
Therefore, Huang Tinghui arched his hand at Wang Mingyang and said, "My lord! ”
"Tinghui has a friend guarding Jiacheng Pass, can you let Tinghui follow the adults to have a look?"
Seeing that Huang Tinghui was a little anxious, Wang Mingyang naturally guessed that the relationship between that person and Huang Tinghui was good.
Therefore, Wang Mingyang did not refuse Huang Tinghui, but just said to Huang Tinghui.
"In that case, you and Tang Gongzi can follow along!"
Then, under the guidance of the soldier, Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu followed Wang Mingyang and walked in the direction where the wounded soldier was.
"Please, please, save us centurion, save us centurion!"
"The centurion can't die, the centurion can't die!"
"Even if our centurion dies, he will die on the battlefield!"
As soon as he walked in, Huang Tinghui heard a cry coming over.
Wang Mingyang ignored the cries of these soldiers, like the current situation, Wang Mingyang has also seen too much.
And the life and death of people is not something that Wang Mingyang can control.
As for Huang Tinghui, who looked at everyone crying so hard, they were all soldiers of Jiachengguan.
Therefore, Huang Tinghui looked at everyone and asked, "Who is your centurion?" ”
"Our centurion is Brother Li!"
One of the soldiers saw that Huang Tinghui's identity must be very valuable.
That's why he said this to Huang Tinghui.
"Brother Li?" After hearing this, Huang Tinghui was stunned.
"Your centurion is Li Dingguo?" Huang Tinghui hurriedly looked at the soldier and asked.
"How do you know the name of our centurion?!!"
"Who are you?"
Ignoring the man's questioning, Huang Tinghui walked quickly in the direction where Li Dingguo was.
When the curtain was lifted, many patients were lying on the bed.
An extremely lazy look.
Huang Tinghui's eyes were sharp, and he saw Li Dingguo not far away at a glance.
At this time, Li Dingguo's body was wrapped with a lot of white cloth, and his face was extremely pale.
At first glance, it looks like it has experienced a big war.
After a big battle, this guy is still alive, which is already a blessing.
But looking at this guy's appearance, it doesn't look very good.
"Dingguo!"
"Dingguo!?" Huang Tinghui shook Li Dingguo's face, and in this way, Li Dingguo opened his eyes.
"Brother Tinghui?"
"Why are you here?" Although Li Dingguo is very disappointed at the moment, he is powerless to even say a word.
"Northern Beacon Fire, as a citizen of the Great Sheng Kingdom!!"
"Of course I want to come and see it too!"
After speaking, Huang Tinghui looked at Li Dingguo's wound.
Although these wounds are not fatal, excessive blood loss alone can kill people.
Huang Tinghui will naturally not sit still in the face of the current situation.
He remembered the things that the little girl had prepared for herself, and among those things was medicine to stop bleeding and relieve pain.
After all, the places where Huang Tinghui came from were all areas where there was constant war.
Therefore, with the idea of being careful and nothing serious, the little girl will have a lot of life-saving pills.
And now, this pill seems to come in handy.
"Dingguo, you wait!"
As he spoke, Huang Tinghui took out some medicine to stop bleeding and relieve pain from his body and fed it to the general.
I have to say, this medicine works surprisingly well.
Li Dingguo's spirit is much better.
After Li Dingguo's mental state improved a lot, Wang Mingyang also launched a series of questions to him.
In this regard, Li Dingguo didn't feel anything wrong.
After the words were asked, Wang Mingyang, the capital eunuch, slapped the table fiercely.
"Humph!"
"A group of wine bags and rice bags, and some people say that they are exhausted!"
"And judging from the current situation, these people didn't have anything to do with those steppe barbarians at all, so they escaped from the battle!"
"Someone!!" Wang Mingyang trusts Huang Tinghui very much, and now Huang Tinghui's friend is so seriously injured.
Most of these wounds were left by sabers and bows and arrows.
So Wang Mingyang has no doubt about him!
"Someone!!" Wang Mingyang shouted.
"The subordinates are here!" Someone immediately surrendered to Wang Mingyang.
"Bring a team of men over!"
"Bring me the general who escaped from the battle!"
"If he doesn't want to come, then just kill!"
"Shoot or kill!!"
"Got it?" Wang Mingyang, who was angry, commanded loudly.
"Yes!"
"Lord Metropolitan Eunuch!"
