But the snatching of 'Long Yuan' is too bizarre, and Zhang Yongjie is reluctant to talk about it.

Zhang Yongjie said again: "The two Ma Dao chiefs are outsiders, even if they are short of money, they will definitely not be too much." There was no need for them to make friends with the Blue Dragon Society, but they made a friend of the Blue Dragon Society, and there must be something inside to it. ”

Zhang Yongjie said that there was still an inside story, so he naturally wanted Li Ling to reveal this inside story to himself. But Li Ling remained silent, she was obviously unwilling to answer this story.

But this topic is a bit too far, so Zhang Yongjie doesn't ask about this inside story.

Zhang Yongjie knew that Xiao Yan was in danger, and when he found himself, he naturally wanted to get his own protection. As far as today's situation is concerned, only he can fight with Zhao Qianli.

Although he is in the military camp at the moment, he should not care about these things on the rivers and lakes. But Xiao Yanyu has known each other for a long time, and she is also very good to herself.

Let's just say that when the Sharp Knife Army was established, Xiao Yan also gave himself a big gift and provided ordnance and food for the Sharp Knife Army, this great kindness was in front of him, how could he not care about Xiao Yan's safety?

Zhang Yongjie said: "Miss Xiao, don't worry, with me Zhang Yongjie here, I will definitely protect you." ”

Xiao Yan smiled faintly and said, "There is also Sister Ling'er." ”

Zhang Yongjie promised to protect Xiao Yan's safety, and naturally included Li Ling. But Xiao Yan knew that Zhang Yongjie and Li Ling's temper was a little unappetizing, so she reminded her clearly.

Zhang Yongjie said with a smile: "Of course, this is just that the war has been urgent recently, and I can't take the time to teach Zhao Qianli a lesson." So I want Miss Xiao and Miss Li to be wronged, disguise themselves as men, disguise themselves as my sharp knife soldiers, and follow my footsteps, so Zhao Qianli will definitely have no chance to find it. ”

There is nothing safer than hiding in the barracks, so no matter how high Zhao Qianli's martial arts are, he will never dare to break into the barracks and take Xiao Yan and Li Ling away from the barracks.

Unless he doesn't want to go home, he wants to be like Yang Xing and go to Fusang Mishima to wander. Because snatching people from the barracks is a capital crime, which is enough for the imperial court to destroy Zhao Qianli's family hundreds of times back and forth.

Of course, Zhao Qianli's cultivation of 'Tongzi Gong' has degraded some male characteristics in his body, but he has no heirs. In short, Zhang Yongjie decided that no matter how bold Zhao Qianli was, he would not dare to go against the imperial court.

Li Ling arranged for Xiaobai to continue dancing in Songcheng, Hangzhou, hiding in this position, and he would take her back to Mingyang Palace in the future.

Zhang Yongjie immediately said: "Miss Xiao, you wait here for a while, I'll go find two sets of armor, and then I'll pick you up." ”

Zhang Yongjie left this top-secret place, and immediately found a common man to ask for the way to the governor's yamen, Zhang Yongjie believed that as long as the minister was still in Hangzhou, he would definitely be in the governor's yamen.

Of course, Hu Butang was in the governor's yamen, and many soldiers of the Sharp Sword Army who had been defeated from the battlefield had already gathered here.

After Zhang Yongjie ordered Mao, after the bloody battle with Erkou Xu Hai, there were only more than 230 of the 600 vanguard soldiers of the Sharp Sword Army left.

In a state of hard confrontation and without the blessing of the art of war, the Sharp Knife Army paid the price of more than 370 good hands, and directly killed nearly 3,000 people in Erkou Xu Hai.

This kind of record, except for the soldiers of the Sharp Sword Army who are equipped with martial arts, can do it, and other ordinary armies, no matter how brave and invincible they are, will never have such a record. Some of the squad leaders have already collected the battle of the Sharp Knife Army all the way north in advance, gathered it into an excerpt, and handed it over to Lord Hu Butang.

Hu Butang ordered the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Army to be rewarded and a good camp was vacated for them to rest and wait for Zhang Yongjie's arrival.

At the beginning, he led 800 pioneers and soldiers of the Sharp Knife Army, and when he arrived in Hangzhou, there were only more than 230. The attrition along the way has reached more than 570 people.

Zhang Yongjie remembered that there were already more than 570 good men who had been sent to the battlefield from his own hands for reimbursement, and he felt very sad in his heart. This is only the combat losses of the Sharp Knife Army, not to mention the battle attrition of Yang Qi and Zhao Kai in the battle for their own end.

Zhang Yongjie felt a sense of guilt in his heart, and always felt that the death of these people had something to do with him. But if you really want to talk about this theory, this matter doesn't seem to have much to do with you.

After all, it is always human to fight a war, and if you want to blame it, you can blame the Japanese who killed it that day.

Zhang Yongjie's mentality was quite complicated, so he had to sigh, and after a while, someone sent an order that Lord Hu Butang had summoned him, Zhang Yongjie tidied up his clothes and went to visit Lord Hu Butang.

I haven't seen Hu Butang for more than two years, and in two years, Hu Butang is even older than before, and at this moment he even has gray hair visible to the naked eye on the top of his head.

Zhang Yongjie knelt down and said: "I have seen the lord of the ministry in my humble position. ”

Hu Butang instructed Zhang Yongjie to stand up and speak, and then said: "I heard that you chased Xu Hai from Fujian and have arrived in Zhejiang, so I knew that you were coming to Hangzhou, and you really came." ”

Zhang Yongjie said some polite words at the moment and replied: "I learned that the lord of the ministry is in Hangzhou, so of course I have to come." ”

Zhang Yongjie looked left and right, and searched in the gaze hall for a while, but did not find the figure of Ye Feichi's junior brother.

Of course, Hu Butang knew what was going on with Zhang Yongjie, so he said: "Mr. Ye Qian is on General Yu's position at the moment, and he has other important matters, so you don't have to look for it." ”

At present, the front line is tense during the war, and it is a very important thing to not see Ye Feichi's junior brother here, so Zhang Yongjie immediately stopped looking around.

Hu Butang said: "You have done several things, and this official is very recognized. For example, I was captured by the Japanese Kou, and I was able to find a way to organize my Ming boy, rise up to resist, and set fire to Wang Kou's Wanjiangshan Island. ”

Hu Butang suddenly opened his mouth to commend himself, Zhang Yongjie didn't know what this meant, so he stayed where he was and didn't talk.

Hu Butang said again: "The vicissitudes of the sea show the true character of the hero." You deserve to be the best among my Ming boys. ”

In Zhang Yongjie's heart, Hu Butang is comparable to his own parents, and this elder began to praise himself, Zhang Yongjie was very embarrassed. This kind of compliment is not as touted as Mr. Qinglong's storyteller.

Behind this compliment, there is often accusation. Zhang Yongjie experienced this experience many times from his wife when he was a teenager. Therefore, the more Lord Hu Butang praised him at the moment, the more Zhang Yongjie felt a little empty in his heart.

Zhang Yongjie kept waking himself up, would there be something that he didn't do well, so that the ministry would have to accuse himself at this moment.

Sure enough, I saw a sudden change on the face of the minister, and said with a black face: "But since you join the army and it is a matter of the country, you can't be as carefree as you used to be on the rivers and lakes." Everything needs a little rule, otherwise the system will not exist, and there will be a big mess. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yongjie immediately cautiously arched his hand and said: "There are no rules, there is no circle, since the humble position is in the military camp, then everything will naturally act in accordance with the laws of the imperial court." Can you make clear what Lord Ministries mean?"

Hu Butang was born in the army, although he was also the governor of Zhejiang, in charge of civil affairs, and became a civil official. But he has always spoken straightforwardly, and he will not come around the bend at this moment.

Hu Butang said: "The establishment of the Sharp Knife Army is only eight hundred, and you are the master of your own efforts to expand the army to seven thousand." In Longtai, you have even ordered conscription, and according to the report the day before yesterday, your troops have reached 30,000 at this moment, how do you explain this?"

Zhang Yongjie thought to himself, it turned out that Lord Ministry was talking about this matter, and immediately replied: "The ministry is good." ”

Hu Butang raised his hand to interrupt Zhang Yongjie's words, and said at the moment: "Of course, the official knows the specific inside story here, you don't have to tell me, it's just that there are already a few imperial histories in the court that have participated in you." ”

Zhang Yongjie has been in the military camp since he entered the barracks, although the soldiers call themselves Master Qian. But the position of Mr. Qian, after all, is only a military attache of the sixth grade, so Zhang Yongjie has never realized that he has now 'entered the official career'.

It has only been two or three months since President Qian took office, and there is already a book of imperial history to impeach him? Zhang Yongjie wants to know, which imperial history is full of food and has nothing to do, and does this kind of thing.

Hu Butang said: "At this moment, in wartime, the saint doesn't care, but when you enter the court as an official, you still have to understand the rules." There are people in the Cao Gonggong court, once something happens, he can protect himself, who cares about you?"

What Hu Butang said is indeed true, that Father-in-law Cao is a person in the palace, and if something happens, he naturally has Dongchang Gonggong as a guarantee, and he can escape from it.

And I, the president of Qian, can't always ask the factory to be a guarantee, but I have to wave a knife from the palace and join the East Factory, this thing can't be done, and it can't be done.

Zhang Yongjie feels that these things are a bit complicated, he is a simple conscription, there is such a big hidden danger behind this, it seems that this official is still a science, and sometimes he still takes office with his head.

Hu Butang continued: "The next time you encounter such a situation, you should notify me first, and I will order the conscription, so as not to break the rules." ”

Zhang Yongjie thought that as a subordinate official of Hu Butang, it was natural for him to notify the ministry in advance of such a major matter as conscription, so he immediately arched his hand and said: "What the ministry reminds is that the humble duty is to follow the teachings. ”

Hu Butang said at this time: "The afternoon after tomorrow, there will be a pre-war meeting, which will be attended by some commanders, commanders and other generals. This official will make a special case for you to attend a meeting, and you will take a short rest in Hangzhou, and then return to Fujian after the meeting. ”

The reason why Hu Butang asked Zhang Yongjie to attend such a high-level meeting was mainly to let Zhang Yongjie have a long insight, after all, this Zhang Yongjie once had a life-saving grace for him, and he was the kind who covered his face and did not leave his name.

Hu Butang intended to promote Zhang Yongjie, which was why he participated in such a high-level meeting.

Zhang Yongjie would not feel embarrassed because those commanders, commanders and other generals held a meeting with him, but how could he be embarrassed to refuse if the ministers asked for this?

Zhang Yongjie suddenly remembered Xiao Yan and Li Ling, and he wanted to disguise the two of them as men and put them inside the Sharp Knife Army, is this a big deal? Should I inform the Lord of the Ministry in advance?

Zhang Yongjie said at the moment: "There is one more thing in the humble position, which may be a little bit broken by the rules. But I have to do it, so I want to report it to the ministry first. ”

Lord Mintang put down the fold in his hand, glanced at Zhang Yongjie, and said, "Is it important that you want to do that?"

Zhang Yongjie said politely: "It doesn't matter. ”

Hu Butang said immediately: "Since it doesn't matter, don't break the rules." ”

Zhang Yongjie saw that the Lord of the Ministry of Education refused, and hurriedly added: "This matter is a bit fatal. ”

Zhang Yongjie thought that it was about the lives of Xiao Yan and Li Ling, of course, it was a bit fatal.

Seeing this, Hu Butang immediately retreated and said, "I'll have another meeting later, you say it's simpler." ”

Zhang Yongjie whispered: "I have two friends on the rivers and lakes who were hunted down by the enemy, so I want to bring them into the barracks and protect them." ”

Hu Butang said: "What's so bad about this?"

Zhang Yongjie said again: "It's two women." ”

Lord Hu Butang obviously could not tolerate the presence of a woman in the barracks, and immediately shouted: "What are you doing in the barracks? How can you bring women into the barracks? Isn't this nonsense?"

Zhang Yongjie saw that the Lord of the Ministry of Education objected, and he regretted giving the Lord of the Ministry of Education a little regret at the moment. It's better to do it first, and then it doesn't matter if the ministry asks for responsibility.

Zhang Yongjie thought about it, this Xiao Yan must be saved, even if the adults of the ministry know about this matter at this moment, and he is desperately violating military rules, he must do this matter.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yongjie no longer negotiated with the minister, and gave his leave.

Zhang Yong came to the hall, met Feng Jin and Zhao Kui, two brocade guards, asked them for two sets of armor, and rushed to Xiao Yan's hiding place with the armor.

But the strange thing is that Xiao Yan, Li Ling, and even Xiaobai are not there at the moment. Could it be that Xiao Yan has already been caught by Zhao Qianli at this moment? What a terrible thing this is.

Xiao Yan and Li Ling are both people who don't know martial arts, even if they have a little martial arts, they are still skins, how can they resist Zhao Qianli's thunderous blow? If it really falls into Zhao Qianli's hands, Xiao Yan will really worry about his life this time.

Zhang Yongjie really wanted to give himself two slaps, he didn't take Xiao Yan and the others directly before, because he was afraid that Zhao Qianli's eyeliner would detect Xiao Yan's whereabouts, and keep coming to the military camp to make trouble and find trouble, so he had to find two sets of armor to take Xiao Yan and Li Ling out unconsciously.

Zhang Yongjie felt anxious in his heart, and said angrily: "How could I make such negligence, why didn't I take Yan'er away by myself at that time, could I really be afraid that Zhao Qianli would not succeed?"

But things have already happened, and no amount of regret will work. Zhang Yongjie immediately rushed back to the governor's yamen, summoned all the soldiers of the sharp knife army, searched everywhere, dug three feet into the ground, and also found Xiao Yan.

It just so happened that Zhao Kui and Feng Jin passed by the camp of the Sharp Knife Army, and when they saw such a battle, they all asked what was the so-called matter.

Zhang Yongjie was about to cry in a hurry, and he was concise and to the point, explaining the situation in a few words.

Zhao Kui and Feng Jin immediately sent a note to the Soldiers and Horses, blocking the city gate and strictly prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving Hangzhou. All of a sudden, the masses, who did not know the truth, thought that the Japanese were coming to sneak attack, causing a lot of panic.

Obviously, Zhao Kui and Feng Jin's behavior has violated military law, and they will be punished. But in order to repay Zhang Yongjie for saving his life on Gaoyou Lake back then, they are still willing to bear this punishment.

It's just that Zhang Yongjie didn't know that Zhao Kui and Feng Jin had violated military law at this time and would face severe sanctions. Zhang Yongjie is panicking now, all he cares about is where Xiao Yan is.
