The next day, noon.

The group rushed to the vicinity of the Ming army camp.

After a few miles, they could smell the aroma, they hadn't eaten for two days, and almost all of them were swallowing wildly.

The air is filled with the aroma of rice and meat, which is really gluttonous.

Li Qing said: "In order to prevent misunderstanding, let's garrison here first, and I'll go over and ask someone to bring food." ”

"Can you get some tents?" He Yong said: "Although it is the beginning of spring now, it is still very cold at night, and my subordinates don't bring anything, they don't need much, just enough to squeeze it." ”

"No problem, you take care of them, there will be food, drink, and shelter." Li Qingdao said, "You don't have to worry about those things, if I dare to do this, I will be absolutely sure, just put my heart in my stomach." ”

"Understood." He Yong nodded: "Since I have decided to believe you, I will no longer be afraid." ”

"That's right." Li Qing smiled, "Wait a while, the food will come soon." ”

…

Although the Ming army had prepared a meal, it did not move, but waited for it.

Although Li Qing greeted him in advance, Shi Biao was not 100% sure that this was the one he said.

He's ready for battle.

At this time, Li Qing's voice sounded: "Shi Biao, it's me Li Qing who is back, not an enemy attack." ”

"Whew~ It's okay." Shi Biao put his mind at ease and started a war with his reckless group, but after all, this was near the Tatar territory, and he didn't think of the conflict.

After a while, Li Qing arrived on horseback.

Shi Biao saw him come back intact, and his mood finally improved: "In the future, in front of the soldiers, you should call me General Shi and save me some face." ”

“…… Okay General Shi. Li Qing couldn't help but smile: "The people have already returned, let's get them some food first, they have been hungry for two days." ”

"Did they really take refuge in Da Ming?" Shi Biao was still a little incredulous.

Li Qing nodded: "I don't have to lie to you, and I have no reason to put the Ming army in danger!" ”

"Aang, I know, it's just... It's incredible. Shi Biao exclaimed.

"It's all good for the Emperor Taishang." Li Qing said with a smile, "People have just defected to Daming, so they have to give some benefits first, and give them 10,000 taels of silver." ”

"Huh? This ......," Shi Biao hesitated, "It doesn't matter if the Emperor doesn't welcome him back, and then spend more money... What are you going to say when you go back? ”

"I brought 500,000 taels of gold and silver this time, so what's the problem if I only spend 10,000?" Li Qing said indifferently, "Besides, 10,000 taels of silver for 4,000 iron horses, no matter how you count it, it will be a lot of money, and the emperor will never be angry because of this little money." ”óΠъ.oяＧ

"Okay, good, you are reasonable, no matter what, you are reasonable." Shi Biao said angrily, "I can't talk about you anyway, but I just feel that something is wrong." ”

Li Qing asked: "Have you forgotten all the big truths you told you on the way here, as well as the way to be an official?" ”

"No, but ......"

"It's nothing, I won't hurt you, and I won't hurt myself." Li Qing said seriously: "If you listen to me, you will not be able to suffer losses." ”

Shi Biao nodded and said in a muffled voice: "Okay, what you say is what." ”

"That's right." Li Qing smiled, "Let someone get it, and I'll bring it over myself later." ”

"I'm going too." Shi Biao said.

"You are the commander-in-chief, and you must stay in the barracks at all times, which is responsible for the soldiers and the basic ethics of the commander-in-chief." Li Qing's tone was serious.

Shi Biao: "......"

……

Half an hour later, Li Qing led more than 100 brocade guards to the Heyong camp.

He Yong had already arranged it last night, and these Tartars were not surprised by the arrival of the Jinyi Guard, their attention was on the pot of rice and meat.

Li Qing said to the hundred households in brocade: "Put down the things, you go back to the camp first, and I will be responsible here." ”

"Mr. Li, the emperor specially instructed me to protect you." Baihu said uneasily.

"If people want to be unfavorable to me, they will do it a long time ago, why wait until now?" Li Qing said, "You are here, but it makes the other party wary, besides, there are our people a few miles away, they can't do anything to me, let's go back first." ”

After a pause, "I'm the chief officer, listen to me." ”

Baihu had no choice but to leave.

After the brocade guard left, He Yongcai asked people to step forward and distribute food.

This group has been hungry for two days, and everything they eat is fragrant, not to mention fragrant rice and fatty pork.

For them now, the rice poured with broth is absolutely delicious.

Li Qing pulled He Yong to a few large boxes and said: "Here are 10,000 taels of silver, when they are full of food and drink, ordinary soldiers are two taels per person, and those with status are more distributed, you can watch it yourself." ”

"I have a heart." He Yong showed joy.

With enough food to eat, and real money and silver, his prestige will be maximized.

It's all about survival, no matter how much the truth says, there is no real thing about a bowl of meat or a tael of silver.

……

Li Qing sat on a dirt slope, looking at these gobbling young strong men, a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

10,000 taels of silver is just a drizzle for Daming, and in exchange for 4,000 iron horses, it can be said that he has made a lot of money.

You know, four thousand horses alone are far more than that.

However, in addition to being happy, Li Qing was also a little worried.

Even Shi Biao could see that something was wrong, how could he deceive those people in the court?

Those statements alone are not enough to convince people, and strong evidence must be produced to prove the truth of those words.

How can we prove that these are all the credit of Zhu Qizhen, and make those people in the court believe that he does not want to come back?

Li Qing thought about it for a long time, and in the end, he really thought about it.

- Son of Heaven Xinbao! (Imperial Seal)

In fact, there are many imperial seals of the emperor, such as: the Son of Heaven who sealed the Waiyi; the treasure of the great fortune of rewarding the minister; The treasure of the oracle for the book; The treasure of the edict, the treasure of worship of heaven, and the treasure of the Son of Heaven for worshipping the earth......

But the role of the Imperial Seal of the Son of Heaven Xinbao is extraordinary, and it is used to transfer troops.

When Zhu Qizhen went on the expedition in person, he took this thing with him, and now he is at home in Jinling.

Although Zhu Qiyu is already the emperor, even if he doesn't have this imperial seal, he can transfer troops if he really wants to, but after all, it is a little untenable in legal theory.

Of course, he can also reproduce another piece.

It's just that the reproduction is far from the ancestral orthodoxy.

In Zhu Qiyu's cognition, the eldest brother Zhu Qizhen is on the grassland, and the imperial seal is naturally there, so there is no need to reproduce it, as long as the eldest brother comes back, the imperial seal will naturally come back.

If you bring this imperial seal back, you will definitely be able to block the mouths of the people to a great extent...... Li Qing secretly pondered.

Calculate the time, it's completely in time.

Most of the people who came this time were cavalry, and the same was true for Heyong's side, but because they had to carry the supplies consumed on the road, as well as the reward (ransom) of gold and silver treasures, silk, tea, pigs and sheep...... The march was not fast, nor could it be fast.

With Li Qing's speed, he was able to rush back when the army arrived at the border pass.

But here's the problem...... He Yong and Shi Biao.

He is the pivot between the two sides, there will be no problems with him, and there is always some risk in his absence.

Li Qing had a headache: "I knew that when I came back for the New Year, I should have brought that thing with me." ”

"What do you think?" He Yong stuck up and grinned.

He is now proud, his subordinates have eaten and drunk enough, and he has been rewarded with silver, which has strengthened his confidence in mixing with him, and his prestige has returned to its former peak, so he is naturally happy.

"Heyong, I may have to leave for a while." Li Qing said, "But don't worry, you will definitely be able to come back before entering the customs." ”

He Yong's smile froze, "This... Actually, it's okay on my side, I can hold down my subordinates, but ...... over there."

He smiled bitterly and said: "It's too anxious to come out this time, eating and drinking all depends on Ming Jun's face, it's no problem to have you as the chief officer, if you don't ...... it"

"What if you can eat and drink?"

"Aren't you afraid of what if?" He Yong asked rhetorically.

“…… I'll arrange it, but if it doesn't work, I won't leave. Li Qingdao said, "Don't worry, it's a great merit to recruit you, and I won't let the credit go." ”

He Yong thought for a moment and asked, "What's the urgent matter?" ”

"Well, it's about you." Li Qingdao said, "If you do it well, you will be able to reduce your risk to zero." ”

He Yong pondered for a moment: "In this case, you can go, but you have to give us enough food before you go, at least you can hold on until you come back." ”

"That's fine." Li Qing nodded: "I'll go over and try it first, don't worry, I won't give up my roots." ”

"Hehe......" He Yong smiled: "Since I chose to believe in you, I will believe it to the end, and if I lose, I will only blame me for looking away." ”

Li Qing also smiled: "People who believe in me and are like-minded have never lost so far." ”

~

The camp of the Ming army.

Li Qing found Shi Biao and said that he would send food supplies to He Yong and his party.

Shi Biao has no opinion on this.

If the emperor doesn't come back, those livestock don't have to be handed over, and the food supply is simply not too sufficient.

However, he has a lot of opinions about Li Qing's next words.

"What? Are you going to live in the Tartar camp? I'm not allowed to see you? Shi Biao stopped doing it when he heard it, "I know, you kid eats alone, right?" ”

Li Qing was stunned: "What do you eat alone?" ”

"If you really take me for a fool, there must be beauties in the Tartar camp, you just want to be alone." Shi Biao said angrily: "I treat you as a brother, you only care about your own brother!" ”

"......" Li Qing thought of many situations, but he never expected Shi Biao's entry point to be so strange.

"It's all with handles, not a single woman, I can't give birth to a son if I lie to you." Li Qing swore to the sky.

The ancients believed in this very much, and generally did not swear easily, not to mention that Li Qing's oath was so vicious.

Shi Biao believed it, but he was still puzzled: "No, why?" ”

"They just surrendered, and they don't trust the Ming army very much, for fear that we will come to the black." Li Qingdao said, "I am the person appointed by the Emperor Taishang, and I am the chief official who welcomes back the Emperor Taishang this time, and they can rest assured that I am with them." ”

After a pause, "You don't think they're going to be bad for me, are you?" ”

Shi Biao shook his head: "It's all here, they won't do anything like that, but...... When you go, I don't even have anyone to talk to! ”

"It's enough to be depressed without a woman, how boring it should be if you go again!" Shi Biao said depressedly.

Li Qing touched his nose and said, "In this way, after returning to Beijing, I will invite you to drink and cook for you personally." ”

"You can also cook?"

"Of course, the imperial food can't be compared." Li Qing smiled proudly, and then said: "It's all for the court, don't be like a mother-in-law like a girl." ”

"Who's the?" Shi Biao's nose was almost crooked, "Okay, okay, you go, don't forget to go back and invite me to drink." ”

"I can't forget it." Li Qing smiled, and then said seriously: "At present, we don't trust each other, in order to avoid accidents, it's better not to contact, if there is an accident, it's not your blessing and mine!"

I'm trying to get rid of their mustard over there, so don't make a fool of yourself. ”

"Aang, I know." Shi Biao scolded and scolded: "I think this group of Tartars are the girls, they all heard that the emperor had taken refuge in the Ming Dynasty, and they were twisted and pinched, and they didn't dare to see their in-laws with an ugly daughter-in-law." ”

Li Qing sneered: "After all, our emperor has changed, and they are inevitably a little worried in their hearts." ”

"Forget it, you're the boss and listen to you." Shi Biao has been accustomed to Li Qing's manipulation, and he doesn't care.

"It's good that you have this realization." Li Qing taught, "You have to keep this in mind, obey the arrangements of your superiors and the imperial court, don't cause trouble, don't make trouble, and you can last a long time;

Otherwise, the scenery is infinite today, and tomorrow may be a catastrophe;

Since ancient times, emperors have been most taboo in their arrogance and arrogance, and there is no one in their eyes. ”

Shi Biao nodded and said in a muffled voice: "Ang, I will pay attention to it in the future, and I will be astringent." ”

Li Qing was relieved: "Steady your temperament, down-to-earth, your achievements in the future are more than what you are looking for, don't get carried away once you gain power, that will not go far." ”

"I understand." There was a hint of respect in Shi Biao's tone, he knew that Li Qing was doing this for his good.

I didn't think anything before, but since listening to Li Qing's story of the temple battle, people's hearts are sinister, he feels more and more that he can kill all sides on the battlefield, but he may not be able to fight those weak scholars.

Let's be careful...... Shi Biaoxin said.

Li Qing saw that he really listened, and his heart was a lot more relaxed.

If it works well this time, it is really possible to make it once and for all, so that the brothers Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Qiyu will have a good home.
