Chapter 24: The Assassins of the Palace (2)
"Miss Tang, Miss Maya." Tang Yun was secretly pondering in his heart, and suddenly heard Ding Ying's cry outside the door.
Tang Yun and Maya walked out of the door, and sure enough, Ding Ying was standing at the door, and when he saw them coming out, he bowed slightly and saluted: "Miss Tang, Miss Maya, the Duke of Wei is invited." ”
This is called if someone wants to sleep someone to send a pillow, what do you want, I was going to find Xu Da, but I actually took the initiative to invite it. Tang Yun hurriedly agreed to walk towards Guanlan Hall with Maya.
"Miss Tang, Miss Maya, I think the two of you also know these days, I was ordered to return to Beijing to recuperate, and I will set off tomorrow. These days are also busy with mundane affairs, and there are many snubbing the two girls, and I hope the two girls will not be surprised. Xu Da leaned on the bed, although his face was full of exhaustion and haggardness, but his speech was still calm and powerful.
"Wei Guogong is polite, the grandfather's health is important, and the little woman can't help much, I'm really ashamed." On this occasion, Tang Yun usually answers, and Maya rarely speaks.
"Two girls, Sha Shaoxia and Little Monkey, several of you young people are now contributing to the Ming Dynasty, it is really gratifying, I invited the two girls over today, mainly to select people to find out about the military situation of the Mongolian army." Xu Da gets straight to the point.
"Grandpa, please speak."
"The movement of the Mongolian army is not difficult to guess, since the Ming Dynasty drove the former Yuan back to the Mongolian steppe, the capital should be built, the Mongolian Khan has not died, has been trying to counterattack the Central Plains, recapture the country, all kinds of scheduling are related to this, but my Ming iron cavalry are long-standing elite soldiers, tiger and wolf division, guarding the northern frontier, the Mongols easily dare not invade the south, this time there is a change, at most, I just heard that I Xu Da is seriously ill, want to take advantage of the void to go south, for this I Ming soldiers have already taken precautions, must not let him succeed." Xu Da took a breath and said: "King Yan wants the little monkey to take someone to inquire about the Mongolian military situation, which is also a move by Lao Cheng to seek the country, which is beneficial and harmless, although I expect the Mongolian Tartar to think, but if I can have a conviction, it will naturally be better." It's just this kind of thing to probe the military situation, the soldiers are fine but not many, so you have to choose well, there are so many people who can be used, and it is useless to have more, so I ordered each battalion to recommend it carefully, and I think it is almost here, but I can't wait to summon it in person, and after I set off tomorrow, Ding Yinghui will preside over this matter, and I will find him if there is anything, I have already explained. Xu Da raised his hand as he said and pointed at Ding Ying, who hurriedly took a step forward and stood with his head held high.
"Thank you grandpa for being thoughtful." Tang Yun couldn't help but admire.
"Also, if the two girls and the little monkey and Sha Shaoxia return to the capital, welcome to my house in the south of the city to play, I often entered the palace with the emperor to the Xianlan Courtyard to see Old Master Chen and the little monkey, I'm afraid the little monkey has not been to my house, so many years have passed." There seemed to be some sighing in Xu Da's words.
"The little girl will talk to Brother Yu."
"Nothing else, is there anything else going on with the girl?" Xu Da thought about it for a while and said.
"We don't have anything to do, the little woman will leave, if you can't catch up tomorrow, here the two of us will wish my grandfather a smooth journey and a happy recovery."
"Hehe, thank you girl, my bones have not been left off by the saddle horse for decades, and this little problem can't make me down." Xu Da smiled.
"The little woman said goodbye." Tang Yun got up and gave a blessing, turned around and went out, and Maya hurriedly followed.
Sure enough, on the second day, I saw a few carriages departing from Wei Yuan and heading south, for a while, Wei Yuan suddenly seemed a lot more deserted, and there were no more sergeants who kept shuttling to report the military situation on weekdays, Ding Ying still stayed in Wei Yuan, and he was still cleaning up the house after Xu Da left in and out of Guanlan Hall, Tang Yun had secretly looked at him carefully, his eyes were still red, and he must have cried. I couldn't bear to ask him about the selection of people immediately, which seemed a little unkind.
After waiting for another three or two days, finally from each battalion came some generals and sergeants to find the chief soldier Ding Ying to report, and when all the people arrived, Ding Ying counted, there were more than 20 people, Ding Yingguo was serious, carefully investigated and compared, and selected ten more people, and the rest still asked them to return to the original camp, and brought these ten people to find Tang Yun. Tang Yun and Maya had been waiting like ants on a hot pot, and they were overjoyed when they heard it, and hurriedly came out to see.
"Brothers, listen up." Ding Ying ordered ten people to stand in line, and said loudly: "These two are Tang girl and Maya girl, both are friends of the handsome, she will take us to Beiping City to meet Lord Zhu, this time to investigate the Mongolian military situation by Lord Zhu, the marshal before leaving, repeatedly explained, so that we and others to obey Lord Zhu's dispatch." Now although the marshal has returned to Beijing to recuperate, but our brothers have to do a good job, we can't let others underestimate it, we can't embarrass the marshal, if anyone doesn't obey the order, don't work hard, brothers, I, Ding Ying, am not the brother's officer, it's not easy to deal with you, but the temper of the marshal everyone also knows, being dealt with by the marshal's military law is a small matter, if you are angry with the marshal's body, brothers, we don't have the face to live anymore, do you hear clearly? ”
"Hear me clearly!" The sound of the ten people roaring in unison was so close that Tang Yun and Maya were almost startled.
"Now let Miss Tang say a few words." Ding Yingdao.
Tang Yun was helpless, walked to the front of the team, hesitated for a long time, and then spoke: "Generals." "The voice is so different from Nadine's that it's incomprehensible." Ladies and gentlemen, this is the feather ...... It was Lord Zhu who was ordered by King Yan to inquire about the military situation, presumably everyone knows, it is necessary to select a sergeant who is good and can speak Mongolian to investigate the military situation with Lord Zhu, and the people selected by Wei Guogong must be one out of a thousand miles, these little women will not say much, and after arriving in the city, they will listen to Lord Zhu's instructions. General Ding, when are we leaving? The last sentence was naturally said to Ding Ying.
Ding Ying clenched his fists: "Obey the girl's orders." ”
Maya looked at the side secretly, and saw that these ten people were tall or short, fat or thin, fat muscles bulged out, and the thin ones were capable and strong, showing that they had practiced kung fu.
"Then let's get going." Tang Yun was concerned about Beiping City, and he couldn't wait to leave immediately.
"Obey!" Ding Ying bowed, waved his hand, his voice was several times higher, and shouted: "Get on the horse!" Let's go!"
The ten people did not hesitate, ran out of Wei Garden in line, turned over and brushed the horses tied outside the garden, and waited for Tang Yun and the others.
Tang Yun didn't expect these generals to be so resolute, just leave, the girl's house is always troublesome, you have to pack up, busy with Maya to hurry back to the embroidery building to pack up the luggage, Rao is they repeatedly speed up and step up, and it was almost a quarter of an hour after they packed up and went out, the second daughter was very embarrassed, only to feel a fever on her face, when she left the garden, she lowered her head and didn't dare to look up at the generals who were waiting on the horse, who knew that those generals were strict in discipline, and their faces didn't show any displeasure at all, just stared at Ding Ying and waited for him to give orders.
Ding Ying saw the second daughter sitting down, and said, "Miss Tang, Miss Maya, please!"
Tang Yun and the two didn't dare to say anything, just shake the reins, only heard the sound of horses' hooves behind them, everyone was already following, Tang Yun hurriedly urged the whip to speed up the horse's pace, how do you know that the faster and faster they run, the eleven people are unhurried and follow them more than two feet away, reluctantly, a group of people went straight out of twenty or thirty miles, Tang Yun's heart fluttered slowly settled down, slowed down the horse, turned back to Ding Ying and smiled: "General Ding, don't be in such a hurry, right?" Let's take our time, shall we? ”
Ding Ying hugged his fists on the horse: "Obey the girl's orders." With a wave of his hand, the generals slowed down again.
The thirteen men beat their horses together and went east to Beiping City.
However, to Tang Yun's surprise, Zhu Wenyu and the desert duo in Beiping City had another accident.
But it was said that the desert went to the beggar gang Beiping to inquire about the details of the Shaolin Temple every day, and then saw if there was a letter from the master "Iron Hand Tianlong" Xie Fei from the helm, there was no news, Zhu Wenyu patiently followed the teacher in the inn to learn Mongolian, and Zhu Wenyu knew that this matter was very important, although he couldn't sit still at first, and always gave birth to countless tricks, but then the more he learned, the more interesting he felt, and he slowly settled down, and the entry was much faster. After a few days like this, Zhu Wenyu has been able to slowly learn to say some simple sentences in Mongolian, according to Mr. Teaching, it is almost the same to ask for directions to Mongolia now, but it is still far from being able to speak fluently with Mongolians.
On this day, the desert came back from the rudder, and the two were learning to talk in the inn, when they suddenly heard a noise downstairs, and after a while, they only heard the shopkeeper come up and knock on the door: "Zhu Xianggong, Sha Xianggong, the old man Ouyang of the Anping Dart Bureau asks to see." ”
"Ouyang Xiwei?" Zhu Wenyu and the desert duo were surprised. Last time, Zhu Wenyu went to Anping Dart Bureau and had a fight with Ouyang Xiwei, this old man Ouyang of "Iron Pen Town Xishan" had to say that Zhu Wenyu killed Master Muyun, the abbot of Shaolin, and wanted to fight with him, so that Zhu Wenyu fled in the wilderness, and now he actually came to the door? Or are you here to fight for revenge?
"Please Old Man Ouyang!" The desert shouted, turned back to Zhu Wenyu and said: "This is an inn, this old man will not be so reckless, his foundation is here, he will not commit a crime boldly tomorrow, we will see each other." ”
Zhu Wenyu nodded, since he can't fight, it's good to see him, maybe he can make it clear.
After a while, I saw the white-haired Ouyang Xiwei ascend upstairs with a solemn face, followed by three characters dressed as martial artists, all of whom had gray hair and a calm momentum, and it seemed that he was also a practitioner, and his kung fu was not weak. Zhu Wenyu and the desert greeted them out of the door, and although they saw Ouyang Xiwei's unhappy face, they still politely greeted them into the house.
When the teacher took his leave, everyone sat down in the room, and the shopkeeper made tea and withdrew, and did not speak from beginning to end, and the room was silent.
