It turned out that there was an old one in the capital in the past, and the two exchanged a few words, General He pointed his finger at the little boss and said: "They all do things according to the rules, and the Mongolian Tatars have been restless recently, and there are always people who secretly cross the border, so they have to guard against it." Guo Zongbing went out of the city and did not return, and the orders left behind before leaving, all the people in the past were strictly investigated, and they did not dare not carry it out, not to mention that you also know that Zhang Yushi is also a very serious person, starting a fire, the king of heaven and Lao Tzu are not afraid, fortunately, he is not in the pass today. In this way, since I am a guest of the East Factory, I will be a guarantee and take you out of the customs! Lin Sheng smiled and said, "Our family understands the rules, and there are no weak soldiers under Wuding Hou!" In that case, then trouble General He and send us out of the pass! ”

I have a little admiration for the little leader, but this General He did a favor in an instant, and the little boss was helpless, Ning Xi glanced at me, presumably he also wanted to get out of the customs, I just stayed over, Manager Ge had already stepped over and said, "Let's go together!" ”。

Seeing that Batu and the others got on their horses one after another, drove the camels into the pass, and Lin Sheng and the others followed, General He seemed to know our identity, waved at us, and motioned for us to enter the pass together. Everyone was overjoyed, re-mounted the horse, Ning Boyang and I rode in front, and followed Batu slowly into Juyong Pass.

That Juyong Pass is the pass between the two mountains, the terrain is dangerous, the Great Wall is like a dragon, the two wings are spread, and it has always been a place guarded by heavy soldiers. The gate is completely a barracks, and although it is separated by an inner wall, the sonorous voices of the sergeants inside and the neighing of the horses make people feel safe. A Zhenwu temple stands on the side, and several red clay cannons are facing the pass. Batu and the others looked at it carefully, their faces solemn. Ning Boyang said with a smile: "The Mongols no longer have the bravery of Genghis Khan, and now they live by harassment, and sometimes I feel that it is a happy thing to be able to go to the battlefield and kill a few of his Mongols!" It's just that it's so focused on protection, and it's a little unnecessary. ”

His voice was not small, I saw Batu and Mrs. Wang glance at each other, while Lin Sheng and the others nearby turned their heads and looked at us, with a little more annoyance in their eyes, Ning Boyang was startled, I asked him to go back to the middle of the team, and the group slowly walked out. Although General He was accompanied, the soldiers guarding the pass were also on standby, and their eyes always followed us. The Mongols were also settled, but they looked at the customs more carefully.

About half an hour, we have successively out of the Juyong Pass, during the period, General He invited us to go to the general military palace to rest, I can see that Batu and others are full of expectations, but Lin Sheng refused, saying that the Ming Emperor has always stipulated that the ministers are not allowed to enter the local military mansion without the emperor's order, this Wuding Marquis has always been strong, today did not meet him, it is a blessing, how dare to go to his yamen to sit, although it is a joke, but we still feel that this Wuding Marquis is extraordinary.

Twenty miles outside the pass, is an open land of Pingchuan, under the sun, snow-capped, extremely dazzling, there is no figure. The howling north wind makes people feel desolate in an instant. I really don't know, why this Hou Ye's Mansion has to go out of the customs, three warm cars, eight family members, thirty-one brocade guards, and then fifty miles ahead, is the Mongolian border, although the two sides are no longer openly fighting, but there are still a lot of things to compete in secret, the little prince is said to be very brave, bent on recapturing the capital, and picking up the mantle of the Yuan Dynasty again.

I look back, Juyong Pass can be described as a majestic pass, a husband is a pass of ten thousand people, and the Great Wall is like a powerful arm, moving on the top of the mountains. I felt a heroic spirit in my heart, and I thought of a few Tang poems: Zheng Peng out of Hanse, return to the wild goose into Hutian. The desert is lonely, and the sun sets over the long river.

The Mongols were warriors on horses, with first-class equestrian skills, fast horses and fast knives; And the Ming Dynasty relied on barriers and firearms, in the past, Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong fought in the desert, smashed the royal court, and had the style of the iron-blooded banner of Huo Quai, Wei Qing in the Han Dynasty, although there was the battle of Wang Yue's Mobei during the Chenghua period, I am afraid that it will be difficult to see it in future generations. Especially in the battle of Tumubao, the courage of the Ming Dynasty gradually disappeared, although the defense of the capital was victorious, but the concept of heavy defense is increasing day by day, and there are few active attacks.

I sighed lightly, remembering Ning Boyang's bold words just now, which was actually just a fantasy.

And General He and Lin Sheng marched side by side, and sent more than 20 miles of land until they grabbed the reins and said goodbye. Lin Sheng escorted Batu and the others and galloped away. I didn't know where we were going, but Mr. Ge just said we could just follow along. We didn't want to ask too much, so we had to keep following, then General He turned his horse's head, looked at us, hesitated, and said: "Yesterday, the military department issued a document saying that your brocade guards escorted the people of the Hou Ye's Mansion out of the customs, and I was ordered to see them off." I don't know where you want to go, but there is a Wild Fox Ridge ten miles ahead, which is our last outpost, and further on, is the Outer Great Wall, that is, the Mongolian border, this area is not very peaceful, although you are Jinyi Guard, but field fighting and fighting are two different things, you must be careful, go early and return early! I thanked him even for saying thank you, General He looked at me carefully, then looked into the distance, and said: "It will be very cold tonight, you go out of the customs at this time, don't go too far, if you can stay in Yehuling for one night, you will stay for one night." There are our brothers there. I hurriedly saluted and expressed my gratitude, and General He smiled: "My younger brother He Jin is also a Jinyi guard, but he works in the Anhua Palace. I haven't seen you for many years, but I feel close to you when I see you. After saying that, he led the men and horses back to Benguan City. I was at a loss in my heart, and I hurriedly went to find Mr. Ge, but the guy expected me to ask, and before I could speak, he said, "Let's continue to move forward and rest in Yehuling tonight!" "I had no choice but to do as I was ordered, and at the same time I ordered everyone to be on guard.

As the sun sets, the vast wilderness becomes more and more vast. We came to Yehuling, but it was a bare mountain beam, with few trees, a small village formed around a small hill, but there was not a single villager, all of them were garrisons, and on the top of the hill was a beacon made of stones, lit a bonfire, and many soldiers walked around with guns, their clothes and armor were thin, and they went to roast from time to time, and in the cold wind, they were still shivering. Halfway up the hill are houses made of stone and wood, covered with snow, and white. There is also a horse stall outside, and there are few horses, and it is very empty.

There were about a hundred soldiers here, led by a royal garrison. Because we are royal relatives, he was also polite, and specially arranged a few big houses for us to live in, but the places to eat were in one big room. The room was dilapidated, barely able to keep out the cold wind. I found the best room for Ning Xi to live in, and the others settled down.

Ning Xi didn't embarrass us as everyone had heard, Ning Xi didn't even look at me, he entered the house by himself, and didn't come out. After a while, Manager Ge brought me some food, smiled and said that it was given by Ningxi, and told me to rest early and still have to go tomorrow. I was very grateful, but I didn't dare to be careless, and asked Wang Shou to set up a guard outside the house, and at the same time arranged for Hardy and Ning Boyang to lead the brothers to protect the people of the Hou Ye's Mansion, to be precise, to protect Ningxi. I took four brothers with me and guarded the outer room. People from outside who want to get in have to go through the door of this room.

Just settled down, I don't want to, Lin Sheng and others are also here, and those Mongolians also came over one after another, only saying that it was too late, too cold at night, couldn't walk too far, and had no place to rest, so they turned around to spend the night, and Wang Shoubei happily arranged for people to provide them with food and accommodation. I wanted to ask, but I saw Lin Sheng talking to those people, presumably he arranged it. He said and laughed, suddenly looked at me, and said lightly: "Everyone hurry up and rest, we have to hurry tomorrow!" ”

I ate a simple bite of dinner, and I distributed the food sent by Ning Xi to everyone, and everyone ate quickly, but Ning Boyang ate carefully, and said that it was delicious, and I smiled and said, "Big brother, you are well-informed, haven't you eaten it?" Everyone burst into laughter, Ning Boyang's face was slightly red, and he said, "The taste is different!" Hardy listened and said, "Big brother, don't you like to eat?" If you can eat it, you can fill your stomach, whether it tastes good or not. The second brother is still amazing, and he can get such delicious things. As he spoke, he reached out to take Ning Boyang's, Ning Boyang pushed him away and said, "You are really Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit, I don't know the taste!" The crowd laughed again.

I didn't gossip with them anymore and went outside to check my surroundings. The night has already fallen, the sky is full of stars, how can there be a blizzard, and suddenly found that there are more stars here than in the capital. I took a deep breath and felt a lot more energetic, and suddenly, a black shadow rushed over, silently, I subconsciously held the hilt of the knife, and shouted, "Who? ”

The man smiled and said, "Good alert, our family is Lin Sheng." ”
