Zheng Shou frowned and came to the Hall of Dull Fools. This place is his usual place to meditate, and it is very quiet in the corner of the back garden.

Now in the pavilion in front of this room stood the famous man with a knife, who was responsible for stopping anyone who wanted to approach the house. Seeing that the old man was coming, the family man bowed and crossed his hands.

Zheng Shou asked, "How?"

"Back to the old man, in the house."

"Hmm." Zheng Shou walked over with his hands behind his back, and the family opened the door for him.

The house faces east, and the three windows let the light inside be good. A slender and sturdy man was putting clothes on his body, and when he came in, he smiled and said, "I was scrubbing after punching, Zheng Gong is not strange."

"It's okay, sir, don't pay attention to this." After Zheng Shou finished speaking, he motioned for him to sit down and talk, and then lowered his voice and said, "The emperor has received the news that the beggar has been attacked and killed."

"Oh? Will the Imperial Court ask Ulla and Huifa for an explanation?"

Zheng Shou shook his head: "For some reason, Your Majesty decided that this matter was the work of the Kels, but it strengthened his determination. The internal decree has been issued, and Deng Zhu, the marquis of the inner village, led 20,000 troops to the north as the backup of Ula and Huifa, and began to establish the Hanhai Protectorate."

"What?" The man was astonished, "Won't our efforts be in vain?"

"Don't worry, centurion, there's a chance to try it now, but ...... I don't know if your army dares to ......?"

"Don't worry about this adult, let's talk about what kind of opportunity it is?" The man interrupted Zheng Shou in a hurry.

"Your Majesty will hold a canonization ceremony for Kulen the day after tomorrow, so that he will inherit the throne and immediately return to the steppe to carry on his father's mission."

"Oh, I see." The man nodded, "Your Excellency means another night attack?"

"Don't do it, don't do it." Zheng Shou sneered: "If something happens to Kulun, the little emperor's face will be completely lost, what else can he do?" Can't he help the young son of the beggar to be an emperor, so that the Monan tribes will recognize it?"

"Okay, I see." The man nodded: "But I still have to ask the old man to inquire about which route Cullen took!"

"It's easy, don't worry. I'll help you prepare even the guide you need on the way back, and if you have anything else to tell the butler, I may be too busy to come here before leaving." Zheng Shou paused and instructed him:

"This time there is too much movement on the grassland, and the emperor will transfer 80,000 troops to Liaoxi, it must be a vicious battle!

You better get out and go back to the palace, no matter how you say that you are also Han, you must be almost the same kindness in the past two years, don't trap yourself in it."

The man grinned, crossed his hands and said, "What my brother-in-law said is, let's listen to you, and we will leave after escorting Marou back this time." Damn, I eat mutton every day on that grassland, and I want to go back and get some artemisia balls and home-brewed knotweed wine to taste."

"Yes!" Zheng Shou patted his knees and got up: "Even if you don't want to be restrained by King Teng, can you still get your job when you come back to me?" I won't be allowed to go to bed without your sister!"

The two laughed, and the housekeeper in the pavilion outside glanced curiously and then withdrew his gaze.

The guest had come a few days ago, and the lord had said that he would not be allowed to go out or be approached, but it seemed that the two were very close. Who the hell is it? He doesn't know, and he doesn't want to bother so much.

Take the salary and let him do whatever he wants, don't care about those who are not in his way, he remembered what his daughter-in-law often said.

Kulun met the officials of the Ministry of Rites in the dormitory of the Tai students outside the Chongli Gate, and learned the news of the murder of his father Khan, Zhang Cymbal later said that he had cried a lot, and if it wasn't for the brothers sent by Li Dan to stop him, he almost pulled out a knife and killed himself.

The emperor announced that Kulun entered the palace, and Haosheng comforted him, and even the queen mother and queen came forward to meet him and gave him a lot of rewards.

The Ministry of Rites agreed to call it "Zhao", and the emperor felt that he had made a great contribution to the country by opening a tributary precedent, so he changed it to "Gong" with a stroke of his pen, and added the title of "Kashtu (Ergu meaning brave)" to the back of the Khan.

As for Kulen's Khan name, the Ministry of Rites drafted "Yanlie Khan", which means "successor", and the emperor agreed.

Li Dan came to visit him, and Cullen found out

Zhang Cymbal and others were specially sent by him to protect. Moved, Cullen told Li Dan that he was about to return to the grassland: "I'm going to dig these rats out of their holes!"

After saying that, Cullen left one of his beloved three horses to Li Dan. It is a yellow-fat horse with a snow-white forehead and hooves, and a small head and a long body.

Li Dan saw that this was a hybrid of the Turkmen horse and the Xining horse mentioned in his previous life, although it was not as strong as the Qinghai horse and had very good endurance, but it had good explosiveness and extremely fast horse speed, which was suitable for surprise attacks. He accepted the gift with great joy.

When asked about the horseshoe, Cullen and Wang Younian, who came from outside the city, both changed their faces.

"Master Li guessed correctly, each of the tribes of Mo Nan will try their best to match the warrior's horses with farriers, and those who lack farriers are likely to be the Kaer, because they can't get the source."

After Wang Younian finished speaking, he looked at Cullen with a gloomy face: "It seems that we may not be too peaceful on the way back!"

"It's okay, Mr. Wang, don't worry, Your Majesty has already made arrangements." Then he told Cullen, "First of all, I suggest that Your Highness immediately return to the camp outside the city, and that thirty Pterodactyl guards will accompany you back, and they will also protect you on the left and right."

Li Dan pointed at Zhang cymbals: "When you and your party arrive at Henan Mansion, there will be an officer selected by the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, bringing five hundred elites selected from the Xuanwu Army to converge and escort them all the way in grassland costumes.

At the same time, General Dadu Protector Deng will send Ye Bushu to assist in the investigation within thirty miles of the surrounding area before you reach the border wall and after you arrive at Daihai, and immediately warn you if you find the situation."

"When will the Metropolitan Protector leave?"

"After attending the ceremony tomorrow, he will not return to the city and go north directly." After Li Dan finished speaking, he beckoned Zhang Cymbal to come over, pointed to Huang Qin who came with him, and said:

"I originally wanted to let Guo Jiufeng go to Liaoxi with me, but the matter here is also very important, I asked him to stay as your town magistrate, and the internal guards are equipped with double short guns and crossbows.

There are also vehicles and supplies waiting for you on the other side of the Yellow River, and you will listen to Lao Huang's arrangement for specific tasks. It's hard to go to the grassland this time, and you guys have to work together to protect the safety of Your Highness! On the prairie, his words are like my orders!"

"Yes!" Zhang Bo saluted the military salute, and then hesitated and asked, "That...... Jingshi's side?"

"I've already adjusted the speed to take the town, and I guess I can arrive before I leave Beijing, so my brother doesn't have to worry."

"Brother Xian, you sent me warriors, so what should you do yourself?" Cullen asked anxiously.

"Your Highness, don't worry, I have enough people left!" After Li Dan finished speaking, he unloaded a small burden from his shoulders, held it in both hands and said, "Your Highness gave me your favorite mount, and I also brought my favorite thing, please be sure to accept it!"

Wang Younian took it and felt a little heavy, but he was not surprised. Li Dan stretched out his hand to open the baggage, and inside was a half of the fine ring armor (chain mail), and when he picked it up, he saw that there was a hood, a throat guard, a shoulder cover, and two shawls.

What is lacking on the grassland is armor, and Li Dan's delivery of armor undoubtedly made Kulun very happy.

Kulun first asked Wang Younian to accept the gift, let the others withdraw, and then used the Han ceremony to give Li Dan a deep bow, so that Li Dan hurriedly turned sideways and gave way: "Your Highness will be the king of the vassal country from tomorrow, and Dan will not dare to accept this big gift!"

"Do you remember Ejina?" Cullen asked.

Li Dan was stunned, and the slender and shy girl appeared in front of him. "Uh, of course I do!" Li Dan nodded.

"I'm going to get back to the prairie as fast as I can, and the road may be dangerous." Karen frowned as if she was making a big decision: "She and Na Heya can't go along, I have to leave the women to you, please help take care of them."

"Understood, how many people are there?"

"There are more than twenty of them, including the maids and guards." Karen hesitated, smiled bitterly and whispered, "Just now Master Wang told me that Concubine Fang is pregnant."

"Oh my God! Congratulations, congratulations!" Li Dan gave up his hand again and again: "So, does Your Highness need me to send them back after the situation stabilizes?"

"Not necessarily." Kulun waved his hand: "I am ready to come to pay tribute next year after everything is settled, and then I will take her mother and son back by the way, and at the same time, I will also send He Lun to Jingshi."

Ehelun is his eldest sister, Ejina's sister, and he sent it to me

is to let the sister marry His Majesty, Li Dan said yes again and again.

The two agreed that fifty guards would be left in the camp, and Li Dan would also send someone to help take care of it. As for whether Ejina and Concubine Fang lived in the city or went to the city, Li Dan planned to respect their own wishes.

The next day, a grand proclamation ceremony was held at the altar of worship. Lan Ziying, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, recited the prayer on behalf of the emperor, and Cullen dressed up to pay respects.

After that, he rode a specially ordered carriage from Dongrisheng and went north along the East Waihao Road of the Imperial City under the escort of the Yulin Army, crossed the Jincheng Bridge and the Qingbo Bridge to reach the Temple of Earth, where he received the thatched soil, seals, golden books, dragon robes and jade belts given by the emperor himself.

The lively ceremony had nothing to do with Li Dan, he reached an agreement with the emperor, and yesterday he ran errands for Zhao Tuo to visit Kulun, and explained to him the route home and the protection on the way, as well as how to be the task of this big bait.

Today, he is also busy arranging all the hidden piles (stationed in the spies) and drifting leaves (the spies who deliver news back and forth) on the east and west lines, and at the same time instructing the production and material transportation of the factories in Jingshi and Shuntianfu, and arranging the transportation from Jiangxi to Tongzhou, and so on.

He opened a few tickets, called his deputy Chen Chun, and asked him to arrange the identities of Wang Xu, Yang Wu, Wang Xi, Duan Fang, Cao You, and Huang Qin.

As soon as he got home, before he could put his tired body into the chair, Lu Jiu happily came to report that Liu Hongsheng had arrived.

"The fourth prince is also here, and when he enters the door, he is clamoring to follow you to conquer Liao, and there are two gentlemen behind him, what is it called Shuangcheng." Lu Jiu introduced while following Li Dan's footsteps.

"Mr. Twin Cities is here too? Oh, that's great, I'm short of manpower here!" After Liu Hongsheng came over to see the ceremony, Li Dan greeted Gu Lian and Wei Shaolong warmly.

"Mr. Han said that you definitely need manpower, so he transferred several people over." Wei Shaolong said.

"But you're here, who's presiding over the medical school?"

"Xingwu, he is very capable now, and he has learned a lot of my ability to straighten bones and connect bones!" Wei Shaolong said and pushed out Li Qin, who was hiding behind him, Li Qin smiled "hehe" and saluted the third brother.

Li Dan's eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "You go into the house first, and I'll talk to you in a while." Li Qin turned around and quietly grimaced Shuangcheng and went into the house. "What's going on?" Li Dan turned his head and asked Liu Hongsheng.

The Taipo was an honest man, and smiled awkwardly: "You know that adults are wise, don't be angry. It was only on the boat that we found out that the fourth brother had come with us, and it wasn't a mistake." said and sang a fat song to apologize to Li Dan.

Lu Jiu next to him realized that Li Qin had sneaked out, and while he was surprised, he wondered where Li Dan could see that it was wrong?

"Hmph, my own brother still doesn't know? My aunt can let him out, unless the stars are misplaced!" After Li Dan finished speaking, he patted Liu Hongsheng's broad shoulder: "I don't blame you, since he comes, I will arrange it."

After speaking, he asked who else was coming, and learned that Zhu Qing and the others had a batch to arrive tomorrow morning, and then pulled the three of them to sit under the walnut tree in the courtyard, and roughly talked about the situation in Beijing and what had happened recently.

Li Dan told Liu Hongsheng that he planned to take charge of the safety of his family and the affairs of the Chashan Society in Guide Province.

Chen Sanwen went to Shuntianfu, Gu Lian just filled the gap to take care of the three industries of car manufacturing, glass, and pen making in Zhili, and at the same time, Li Dan also gave him a task to study high-speed, low-cost printing and binding technology, as well as inks that are quick-drying, fast coloring, and not easily affected by moisture.

As for Wei Shaolong, he really had to go to Liaodong with him, so he specially built two carriages for him, one carrying a large number of medical equipment and medicines, and the other for him and the three medical students who came with him.

"What the hell is going on with you? If you don't answer honestly, I'll send you back to Yugan tomorrow!" Li Dan entered the house to scare Li Qin.

Li Qin knew that he was scared, but he was still scared, this third brother hadn't seen him for a year, and now he was so powerful that he was automatically shorter by three points.

"I—Didn't I come out to learn (to travel and gain knowledge)? I learned something from Mr. Twin Cities, and I thought I might be able to help you ......." He replied softly, with a flattering tone.

"Huh, can you help me?" Li Dan pouted: "Can you transfer troops and send generals, or will you deal with the government?" Look at your mouth

It's so angry that if you learn something, you won't know how thick the sky is!" He crossed his waist and thought, "If you want to stay, help me look after the house, how about it?"

"Huh?" Li Qin grinned: "Third brother, I have also learned my skills. I heard that you are Xue Rengui of this dynasty, and you want to take thousands of troops and horses to fight against the Ergu people, so I came to join the army and learn from the Yang general! Brother of the war, how can you let me stay in this capital to take care of my family?"

"Alright, alright!" Li Dan looked at him: "It's not a joke to go to Liaodi, it's a real gun. How many bows are you shooting now?"

Li Qin was overjoyed: "One stone is absolutely fine!"

"Go and ask Manager Jiao to practice with a crossbow."

"Crossbow?" Li Qin's face was full of reluctance, in his opinion, it was powerful to be able to draw a bow, what kind of ability is a crossbow?

"When you get to the battlefield, it is estimated that you will shoot three arrows at most, and then you will come to you if you don't have time to catch the arrows, so what should you do? So the crossbow is also necessary! Do you understand?"

Li Qin's eyes lit up: "Third brother, so you agree to take me there?"

"Follow Zhou Tu and be a personal soldier for him, okay?"

"Hey, okay, that's good!" Li Qin's mouth is grinning, and Zhou Tu is a well-known archer and the head of the bow and crossbow! He jumped up, hurriedly saluted, and ran out.

"Where are you going in a panic?" Li Dan stopped him.

"Didn't you tell me to go to Chief Jiao to get Zhang's crossbow?" After Li Qin finished speaking, he remembered that he still had something in his arms, and hurriedly took out an oiled paper bag and put it on the table: "The letter of the two sisters-in-law. I'm leaving!" After saying that, he disappeared.

"I don't agree that you won't take it out, will you?" Li Dan now understands this kid's tricks, he must have gotten rid of his mother under the pretext of sending a letter to his sisters-in-law asking Liu Hongsheng and others to bring them to Jingshi, and then secretly got on the boat.

Alas! They had to send someone to send a letter to the third uncle and third aunt to report their safety, otherwise they couldn't find anyone and thought something was wrong.

Li Dan thought about it, opened the letters and read them one by one. The first letter was Wu Ning'er's, in addition to telling about lovesickness, reminding him that he was already old, and he should remember his promise to marry her!

Li Dan thought that there was another peach girl here in Jingshi, as well as Xiangyu, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Alas, this is a terrible feudal society!"

A-Ying mentioned in the letter that there was a monk who traveled all over the world at home, saying that he was from Xi'an and brought a letter from Master Chen to his aunt.

The letter said that when he heard the news, Li Dan pleaded in front of the emperor, and later had something like Tanhua, so he expressed his gratitude and congratulated San Lang on having such a great appearance, and expressed his intention to agree to marry his daughter to San Lang.

In the letter, A-Ying advised Li Danren to keep his word, although you now have a wife and concubine, you must face up to your original oath, and you must not live up to the kindness of the Chen family.

Alas, it's a woman again! Li Dan shook his head helplessly, and suddenly remembered that Cullen had left two women to entrust to him. Oh, by the way, from today he is Yanlie Khan!

Li Dan thought about explaining to Jiao Tong and asking him to take care of them for him, but suddenly felt that it was appropriate to visit him in person before leaving, after all, they were Wang Khan's dependents!

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, someone was talking to Brother Mao, Li Dan looked up, saw the judge appearing at the door, and said, "My lord, excuse me, is it convenient now?"

"Come in and talk." Li Dan beckoned as he spoke, then folded the letter and put it back in the envelope.

"My lord, there was a report from Zheng Shou's Mansion just now, a man came out of the chai door in his backyard, he looked like a businessman in his outfit, but he obviously had kung fu on his body.

Our people smelled some ox and sheep in him. This man is now heading north along Kin Yip Street, brothers, to arrest or not?" After Juan Jie finished speaking, he seemed to be tensing the muscles of his whole body waiting for orders.

Li Dan thought for a moment. Zheng Shou went to attend the ceremony today, and a suspicious person came out of his house, what does this mean?

A few days ago, Shen Jie reported that they had bought off a Zheng Mansion family member, and the man said that there were strange guests in the backyard, and the master did not allow others to approach, and sent the family members to take turns guarding them.

This Ding said with certainty that when the man was practicing martial arts in the courtyard, he sweated with a breath of anger. Because of this, the judge has increased the number of people to keep an eye on Zheng Zhai, how can he not be excited when he sees the opportunity to close the net now?

"Look at him." Li Dan said, "Maybe he's just going somewhere in the city to connect?

Use the multi-person multi-directional tracking method to keep an eye on his whereabouts, as long as he doesn't leave the city, don't move him, if he goes out of the city...... Can be captured unconsciously. Just don't ask for a confession yet, just keep your eyes and ears away from it."
