Shanxi Datong Mansion, Weiyuanwei southwest Moer Mountain, Zhou Yuji sat on a rough wooden bench, next to Wang Daliang, the master of the cottage.

Zhou Yuji is thirty-five or sixteen years old, tall and tall, with a Chinese face, thick eyebrows, and eyes that are not big, but he is bright, and his biggest feature is black, a typical axle man.

Wang Daliang was twenty-five or sixteen years old, of medium height, but very simple, with a round face, slightly high cheekbones, and narrow, long eyes that clearly had Mongolian blood.

This kind of eye is called Danfeng eye, Wang Daliang himself admits that he has Mongolian ancestry, in his own words, among his previous generations, either someone married a Mongolian woman, or there was a woman who was ruined by the Mongols who crossed the border and robbed and conceived a child.

In the past two days, Zhou Yuji and Wang Daliang often sat here and looked south, looking forward to the return of a group of people, this group of people is a team of twenty people led by Wang Jinlong.

What they didn't know was that Wang Jinlong had changed his name to Zhang Ping at this time, and he had a new name called Zhu Cixuan.

Mo'er Mountain is the highest mountain in the surrounding mountains, and it is also the only mountain with water.

Looking around, the surroundings of Mo'er Mountain are all high mountains and mountains, and a mountain beam is connected to a mountain beam.

Less than twenty miles to the west of Mo'er Mountain is the Great Wall, the east of the Great Wall is the land of the Ming Dynasty, and the west of the Great Wall belongs to Tatar.

The surroundings of this place are very desolate, even in later generations, because this place is high and lacks water, there is no one to live, if you open the satellite map search, you will find that this place is surrounded by towns, and there is no place name identification in the middle of a radius of dozens of kilometers.

It is also because there are no people for dozens of kilometers around, so Wang Daliang and others have never worried about officials and troops coming to encircle and suppress them.

Of course, they didn't rob the common people, so no one reported to the government.

As for whether the government knows that there is such a group of people in Mo'er Mountain, Wang Daliang doesn't know.

Zhou Yuji looked at Wang Daliang, "Daliang, the second master has been gone for eight days, right?" ”

"Yes, it's the ninth day."

"They're not going to have an accident, are they? Supposedly long overdue. ”

Wang Daliang smiled honestly, "No, our second leader is the most shrewd, the ghost is very good, if something happens to him, no one will not have an accident." ”

Zhou Yuji looked at Wang Daliang, "However, they are all riding fast horses, and they will arrive in the capital in four days at the slowest time, and the maximum number of days back and forth is eight days, and today is the ninth day, so you are so relieved?" ”

Wang Daliang smiled, "Hehe! I believe that the second master, the general is a little restless, maybe before dark today, they will be back. ”

has been recuperating on the mountain for more than ten days, and the situation outside is not too clear, how can Zhou Yuji rest assured? "Big boss, I can't rest assured, and I don't know how the court is now? If Jiang Hao and Wang Chengyin continue to contact Li Zicheng, it will be bad. ”

Wang Daliang continued to laugh, "Hehe! It should be fine, the spies sent to Datong a few days ago came back and said that Jiang Hao was preparing for war, and he should not contact Li Zicheng again, and the spies sent to the south came back and said that Li Zicheng's people had shrunk to Taiyuan. ”

Zhou Yuji nodded, "It seems that the plan of your two masters has worked, this time you have made a great contribution, and when there is news, you will follow me, and I will recommend you to be officials." ”

Wang Daliang smiled, "The second master said that you are a big hero and must be saved, but if you don't follow the general, you have to wait for the second master to come back and listen to what he says." ”

Zhou Yuji looked at Wang Daliang, "Why do I feel that the second master is the big boss?" ”

Wang Daliang was not embarrassed at all, "Hehe! In fact, our cottage has long been the final word, I wanted him to take the lead, but he didn't do it. ”

Zhou Yuji asked: "What if the second boss is willing to join the official army?" ”

Wang Daliang immediately said: "Of course, we are all following to join the official army, to be honest, General Zhou is a good person, but if the second master does not go, we will not go." ”

Zhou Yuji wondered, "Why?" ”

Wang Daliang said: "Don't hide it from General Zhou, we are very ghosts in the second master, and we never fight uncertain battles, everyone feels safe with the second master, and it is very good for us people to eat and drink here." ”

Zhou Yuji smiled, "But you can't stay in this deep mountain for the rest of your life, right?" ”

Wang Daliang replied: "Actually, it's nothing, it's not good outside." ”

As the sun was about to set, a horse came running from the sheep's gut path to the south, and a vigilant sentry was running up the hillside quickly.

"The big boss, the horse came back, he ran fast, there should be an emergency."

Wang Daliang looked up to the south, "Inform everyone to be on alert!" ”

Zhou Yuji stood up, and he also noticed that something was wrong, because it was dusty a few miles to the south, and there was obviously a large group of people coming, "Who could it be?" ”

Wang Daliang shook his head, "I don't know, we have never been an outsider in this place. ”

"You can't be here to pick me up, are you?"

After speaking, Zhou Yuji shook his head involuntarily, it shouldn't be, if he came to pick him up, it wouldn't take many people, judging from the dust raised, there were at least two thousand people and horses, besides, no one knew that he was here.

The people of the entire cottage soon entered the battle mode, and each entered the predetermined position.

This is an operational plan that Zhang Pingyuan had drawn up in advance, and everyone knows their combat position, and they have practiced many times in the past.

Mo'er Mountain is surrounded by steep slopes, the only few shrubs on the hillside have also been cut down, it is difficult for ordinary people to borrow ropes to climb the mountain, the only thing that can enter the cottage is the south slope, people who are not cottages can not come up at all, because there are a lot of traps set along the way, unless someone brings it up.

Wang Daliang stood in place and continued to look into the distance, without a trace of panic, the terrain of their cottage is very complicated, even if there are thousands of troops and horses, don't want to break through, because of the restrictions of the terrain, there can only be a hundred and ten people at most to launch an attack, not to mention anything else, there are dozens of people condescending to shoot arrows, plus dense traps, it can be said that there are as many as they leave, and the grain in the cottage can be eaten for at least half a year, plus hundreds of cattle and sheep, and they can be dealt with in a year, and the enemy who came to attack the mountain must be withdrawn soon because there is no drinking water, otherwise, Just wait for them to sneak attack, this tactic has been practiced countless times.

The man on horseback ran up, panting but excited, "Report! The big boss, the second boss sent someone here. ”

What? , Wang Daliang was taken aback, "Could it be that the soldiers and horses under the mountain were brought by the second master?" ”

"Report, it was Zhao Shi who was sent by the second boss to bring General Zhou, and now the second boss is already the son of the queen mother, and when he becomes a big official, he is wearing a dragon robe."

Zhou Yuji smiled when he heard it, "What dragon robe?" It should be a python robe, tell me quickly, who is the officer leading the team? ”

"It seems to be some kind of Hou Ye, by the way, it's called Xincheng Hou."

"Wang Guoxing?"

"That's right! Right! is surnamed Wang, called Wang Guoxing! The big boss, Zhao Shi, they are all wearing very beautiful clothes, all of them are clean and neat, and they are called flying fish suits, which are all quacky new, and they are the same as those soldiers wearing. ”

Zhou Yu Ji Leng, Flying Fish Suit? The flying fish suit is the standard attire of the Jinyiwei, is it the Jinyiwei?

"What about Zhao Shi?" , Wang Daliang asked.

"The road below is relatively narrow, the Hou Ye said to let Zhao Shi lead them up, and the rest of the people stayed in place to rest, my mother, this group of people is really powerful, everyone has two horses, it looks like they all ran a long way, and they all lay on the ground after getting off the horse and couldn't move."

Zhou Yuji understood, the emperor must have urgent things to do with him, otherwise he couldn't send Wang Guoxing to bring Jinyi Wei over, "Big boss, since Zhao Shishi is back, he must not be wrong, let's prepare to welcome Master Hou." ”

Wang Daliang was a little confused, "How do you greet you?" What to prepare? ”

Zhou Yuji smiled, "You don't need to prepare anything, we just go down the mountain to the foot of the mountain and wait for them to come." ”

"Just greeted? General, do you need to kowtow when you see the prince? ”

Zhou Yuji smiled, "You can do whatever you want." ”

Wang Daliang felt that what Zhou Yuji said was impossible, because their family had come to be a big official before, and everyone had to kowtow and kneel to greet them, "It's that simple?" ”

Zhou Yuji looked at Wang Daliang, "What else do you want to do?" ”

Wang Daliang asked, "Don't you need to beat gongs and drums?" ”

Zhou Yuji smiled, "No need, let's go, let's go down the mountain together and wait for them at the foot of the mountain." ”

"Okay! Okay! Wang Daliang felt extremely puzzled, Hou Ye is a great character, how can it be so simple to greet him? But General Zhou Yuji said no, then you have to listen to Zhou Yuji.

A group of people arrived at the foot of the mountain, Zhao Shi led the way in front, and Wang Guoxing followed behind with more than 20 people.

Zhou Yuji greeted him with a smile, "Zhou Yuji greets Master Hou!" Hou Ye has worked hard all the way. ”

Wang Guoxing looked at Zhou Yuji carefully, "General Zhou, is the injury healed?" It looks like you're recovering well, I'm so happy to see you! ”

Fang Zhenghua walked over from behind and said with a smile: "General Zhou, the emperor has an order!" Please take it! ”

Zhou Yuji knelt down as soon as he heard this, "The minister accepts the order!" ”

Fang Zhenghua took out the holy decree written by Zhu Youzhen from his sleeve, "Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, Zhou Yuji, the governor of the left capital of the three passes, is loyal to the king, bravely kills the enemy, and makes great achievements, and entitles Zhou Yuji as the candidate of the Yasukuni country, so that Zhou Yuji acts cheaply according to the secret decree, and admires this!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!".

Fang Zhenghua hurriedly came over to help Zhou Yuji, "Congratulations to Hou Ye, it seems that Hou Ye is recovering well, the emperor said that Hou Ye is injured, but there is no need to kneel to pick it up." ”

Wang Daliang felt that there was something wrong with this person who delivered the decree, since the emperor said that Zhou Yuji was injured and didn't need to kneel to pick it up, couldn't you say it first? After everyone kneels, you say there's a fart?

was surprised, only to hear Fang Zhenghua say: "Shanxi loyal and righteous man Wang Daliang received the order!" ”

Wang Daliang was stunned when he heard it, the emperor gave me the will, do we know each other? Weird! Weird! He knew that he had to kneel down and listen, an official as big as General Zhou knelt down, can I still kneel?

"The emperor's edict: Wang Daliang, a loyal and righteous man in Shanxi, and others followed Zhu Cixuan, the governor of the left capital, to save General Zhou Yuji, and intercepted the enemy's letters and made immortal achievements, the former second head of the cottage Wang Jinlong is the nephew of the queen mother, and has worshiped the queen mother as his mother, I gave the name Zhu Cixuan, and awarded the post of the governor of the left capital of the Chinese army, Wang Daliang and others obeyed the Yasukuni Hou Zhou Yuji, Xincheng Hou dispatch, and so on after entering Beijing, Zhu Cixuan appointed an official position, Qin this!"

"Thank you, Emperor! Thank you, Emperor! May I ask why our second boss is the nephew of the Queen Mother? Why did you recognize the Queen Mother as a mother? What kind of official is the Zuo Governor of the Chinese Army? ”

After a series of inquiries, Fang Zhenghua didn't know how to answer.

Zhou Yuji smiled, "Get up, the big boss, isn't it good for Zuo Du to recognize the queen mother as a mother?" Let me tell you, the Zuo Du Governor of the Chinese Army is the biggest official, the first general. ”

"Really? That's great! I know that the second master is not an ordinary product, and it is true, so it is said that our brothers in the cottage can be officials? ”

Zhou Yuji could only laugh, "It must be!" The second leader is the queen mother's righteous son, and the emperor has given the name, do you know why the emperor gave the name Zhu Cixuan? That's the two of you who are in charge of the royal family, you know? ”

Wang Guoxing took out the letter hidden in his underwear, "Marquis Zhou, the emperor's secret letter." ”

Zhou Yuji took it and opened it, and after reading it, he broke out in a cold sweat, my mother! It's so hanging, if it weren't for Zuo Dudu intercepting Jiang Hao and Wang Chengyin's surrender letter, the consequences would be unimaginable! "Lord Wang, what else does the emperor command?"

"No, the emperor ordered us to act according to the plan, and there must be no mistakes."

Zhao Shi ran to Wang Daliang's side and handed the letter written by Zhang Ping to Wang Daliang, "The big boss, the letter from the Governor Zuo Dudu." ”

Wang Daliang became anxious when he heard this, "It's not that you don't know that I can't read, find someone to come and read it to me." ”

Zhao Shi said with a smile: "The big boss, the Zuo Du Governor said, the big boss should obey the dispatch of General Zhou, there must be no mistake, the whole village followed General Zhou and the prince to enter Beijing immediately after completing the errand, and ordered the family members of the cottage to enter Beijing from the shortest road, after everyone entered Beijing, they will be rewarded according to their merits, and they can find General Zhou to read letters on their behalf." ”

"What's the point?"

Wang Daliang snatched the letter and handed it to Zhou Yuji, "The general will read it to us." ”

Zhou Yuji took the letter with a smile and opened it.

I only heard Zhou Yuji read: "Wang Daliang, the nephew of the Queen Mother, the impostor Wang Jinlong, has now recognized the Queen Mother as his mother, and the emperor has given the name Zhu Cixuan, after you saw this letter, you listened to General Zhou Yuji's dispatch, and then followed the Marquis of Wang Guoxing to complete the new task, and assisted the father-in-law of Fang Zhenghua to bring back the criminals, General Zhou's wife and all the family members were escorted to Beijing by Zhao Shi and selected 100 people, and all the people who are familiar with artillery manufacturing came together, I have an urgent need." All the artillery and ammunition in the cottage are paid to General Zhou, and I have explained to Zhao Shi that the vehicles and horses needed all the way can be found by local officials to go to the post station, and I have arranged for food and accommodation for my family after they arrive in Beijing, so I don't have to worry. The cottage is completely destroyed, all the funds are left for use by you on the road, and the rest can be carried into Beijing by Zhao Shi, and the grain, cattle and sheep of the cottage can be used as military funds for the army to eat, remember to protect General Zhou, at the cost of his own life. ”

Wang Daliang laughed, "I know that the second master is afraid that I will not arrange it well, so I will write a letter and explain again, just listen to the second master, General Zhou, you can rest assured, we will protect you even if we lose our lives, the second master has long said that General Zhou is a great hero and bears the heavy responsibility of saving the country, or not?" The second master of the house at the beginning could not bring the brothers to save you. ”

Zhou Yuji was moved, it turned out that saving himself was not accidental, but it was intentional by Zuo Dudu, who is this Zuo Dudu? I know and think so highly of myself.

This is nothing, how did Zuo Dudu know that Jiang Hao and Wang Chengyin were going to surrender to Li Zicheng? The last time I asked, Zuo Dudu just laughed and didn't say, could it be that Zuo Dudu is already a member of the imperial court? Why did he become the second master in this cottage?
