Chapter 565: Farewell
The Northern Yuan disappeared completely.
The Northern Expedition returned to the DPRK, counting the time of the war, it only took less than half a month, and it was simply like a god with soldiers.
Lan Yu: They first took the men and horses back to restore their lives.
Zhu Bai slowly walked back under the protection of the guards.
Because he was injured and couldn't walk fast.
When Lao Zhu heard that Zhu Bai was hit by an arrow, he was so distressed that he couldn't do it, and told him to come back slowly in a carriage.
Zhu Bai asked Zhang Wu to pull a guard pretending to be Zhu Bai, and walked to Yingtian under the escort of more than a dozen guards.
Zhu Bai asked Zhang Wu that they were only allowed to walk a maximum of thirty miles a day, and they had to walk for one day and rest for three days, and not let the guards pretending to be Zhu Bai talk to anyone in the Guanya Inn. If someone asks, they will say that His Highness's wound hurts, and he can't walk too fast, so he needs to rest.
He himself was dressed in civilian clothes and took Zhang Yuhe, Fugui and the rest of the guards to Guazhou.
Although the guards along the way received him warmly, they tacitly pretended not to know Zhu Bai, and they didn't report the incident.
Thanks to Zhu Bai, the conditions of all the guards are much better, so the things that the commanders entertained Zhu Bai are also a little better than the last time.
He Suo Nanpu, the commander of Hezhou Wei, heard that Zhu Bai was coming, and also rushed to Xining to meet him.
Probably because life has been too good in the past few years, Duo'er only lost the knot and He Suo Nanpu have gained a lot of weight.
Zhu Biao looked at the city wall of Xining, and after the money has been continuously heightened and strengthened in the past two years, it has more than doubled compared to before.
Although there are no enemies in the northwest now, it is always better to prevent problems before they happen.
Zhu Baile listened to their reports over the years.
In fact, over the years, the situation of the two of them has been reported to him through various channels one after another.
Overall, the two of them are good officials.
They are diligent in military training, and the people in the territory live and work in peace and contentment, and they can basically control the officials under them, and there are no big corrupt officials and big cool officials.
Other minor issues don't matter.
Zhu Bai said that he would give them the business of the official tooth bureau here, and as long as they paid enough profits, he would not interfere.
In order to keep their official positions, they also had to take out some profits to do things for the people.
The people support it, and the business of the official tooth bureau will be better.
So it's actually a virtuous circle.
In the past two years, Hezhou and Xining have also shipped a lot of good things to him, and everyone is a win-win situation.
He Suo Nanpu and they were a little embarrassed, and more than ten years passed in a flash.
When Zhu Bai first came, he was still a little small, but now he has grown up.
Zhu Bai was very satisfied with their performance, and when he left, he said, "Two lords, this king is now in the domain, and it is easy for him to come out. So the next time we meet, I don't know if it's going to be more than ten years later. Take good care of your health and love the people. Thank you for all you have done for Daming. ”
The two adults were a little emotional, and their eyes turned red: "It's Your Highness." Thank you, Your Highness, for your trust. ”
-----
Zhu Bai went out of Jiayuguan and went straight to Yumen and Guazhou.
There is no need to worry about the Mongols coming to make trouble again, but it is very smooth.
On the way, I also met many merchants, told Zhu Bai a lot of things about the west, and shared all kinds of delicious food they brought.
Zhu Bai walked and played, eating and drinking together, and was happy to Yumen.
Wang Tuotuo and they had just settled down, and Zhu Bai had already communicated with Jiayuguan and Guazhou, calling them on both sides to support the construction of the Yumen guard.
Jiayuguan and Guazhou knew that as long as Wang Tuotuo settled down, they would be safe, so they were happy to support them.
The foundations of the guard house have been laid, and now the walls are being built.
Looking like that, it will definitely be repaired within a month.
Wang Tuoto scolded and said, "I used to be a noble Great Khan, but now I have become a coolie who repairs the city wall. ”
Zhu Bai said with a smile: "You were originally driven all over the grassland by me, and you don't know if you have the life to eat the next meal after eating the last meal, but now you have a fixed residence and eat the imperial grain, what else do you want." ”
said that he was eating imperial grain, but in fact, Zhu Bai gave him food.
Wang Tuotuo also knew in his heart, rolled his eyes and asked, "Where are you going?" ”
Zhu Bai: "Guazhou." You robbed Li Guang, I don't always have to appease him. ”
Wang Tuotuo snorted: "Hehe, what is he doing so stingy." Isn't the money he earns also the protection money he collects from merchants? I'm protecting the merchants now, so I'll just take a deposit in advance. It's all meat in a pot anyway. ”
Zhu Bai couldn't cry or laugh: "You are still the same nonsense." ”
Wang Tuotuo sneered: "You are not the same treacherous. Anyway, what have you eaten in the past few years, how can you be taller than me. ”
Zhu Bai bared his teeth and smiled: "Don't worry, Lao Tzu is still growing, at least one head taller than you in the future." ”
"Get out." Wang Tuotuo's eyes were about to roll to the sky, he turned his head to look around, and said, "You have too few people with you." Send a hundred men to you. ”
Zhu Bai sighed and said, "As long as you are honest, no one will dare to rob us." ”
Yumen is a desert to Guazhou, and Zhu Bai and the others still spend the night in the small oasis that Hadir took them to last time.
Zhu Bai has never been squeamish, and when he comes out, he takes turns to watch night like the guards.
Everyone is used to it.
In the first half of the night, Zhang Yu led people on duty, and Zhu Bai in the middle, who came rich and noble before dawn.
When it was time for Zhu Bai to be on duty, he took several people to guard the distance in different directions.
This time he brought his binoculars with him, and from time to time he glanced at the endless desert in the distance.
Under the moonlight, countless black dots suddenly appeared in the desert.
it, wolf!
Fortunately, there is a moon tonight, otherwise these wolves may not be able to find it when they come to see them.
He jumped to his feet and looked closely through his binoculars.
That's right, it's a wolf.
And there are more than a hundred, a huge pack of wolves.
They should have smelled the smell for a long time and didn't know how long they had been tracking, and they didn't dare to lean over until they were few.
These dozen people are not enough for wolves to fill their stomachs.
It is impossible to eliminate them all, the best way is to find the first wolf, kill it directly with a handcuff, and the other wolves will naturally run away.
He searched the wolves with a telescope and settled on a huge old wolf.
The reason why it is known to be an old wolf is because it has white fur on the side of its mouth.
The wolf didn't bark, but wagged its tail in excitement.
Zhu Bai suddenly muttered, "It's you." ”
At night, Zhang Yu dreamed that Zhu Bai said in his ear: "Wake up, there are wolves." ”
In a daze, smelling a fishy smell, Zhang Yu woke up suddenly, picked up the knife and jumped up.
In the darkness in the distance, countless eyes glowing with a faint green light stared at them, like ghostly fires jumping from the Netherworld.
Zhang Yu was a little annoyed that there were no enemies all the way, causing them to relax their vigilance.
The wolves had arrived, but they didn't know it.
If it weren't for the fact that the campfires were still burning and the wolves didn't dare to come closer, they would have all been the wolves' supper.
