"The prince recommended me to go to the southern Jinghai Division for training?"

Hong Yi was in the Jade King's Mansion, sitting below, owing his body, his heart churning violently, trying his best to calm his emotions. Just now he was practicing martial arts in Luliuzhuang, he received an invitation from the Jade Palace, and hurriedly rushed to the palace, and after sitting down, he heard Yang Qian ask him if he had the idea of going to the southern Jinghai Sea Master to experience and exterminate the pirates and pirates.

Hearing this inquiry from Jade Lord Yang Gan, Hong Yi naturally agreed with one hundred and twenty in his heart! He had long wanted to train in the army, otherwise he would not have actively practiced martial arts.

"Yes, the current commander of the Jing Navy is Yan Zhen, the son of Yan Shaobao and Yan Youzhi, who and I worked side by side to exterminate thousands of water bandits in the Yellow Crane Mountain and Water Twelve Docks, friends of life and death. At present, in the southern sea, bandits are plagued, and it is a good time to make meritorious contributions. If you go, I will give him a book, and he should give you a position where you are the head of a hundred. ”

Yang Qian looked at Hong Yi and said slowly.

"Of course I live up to the high expectations of the prince!" Hong Yi stood up.

Big cadres can also be officials, but they need the recommendation of big people, this is a way, and through the scientific examination to become an official, it is a genuine way.

Now that Hong Yi wants to be an official, he needs to wait for next year's scientific expedition. But now with the recommendation of the Jade Prince, you can use the identity of the person to directly become an official, which is the advantage of relying on the powerful.

"Okay! You have been there for a year, made a few merits, and when you come back to the scientific examination, you will have more weight on your resume than those who lift people, and when the time comes, you will get the middle jinshi in the scientific examination! Yang Qian also shouted hello, and finally said: "But the southern form is complicated, you should be cautious." ”

"I understand, of course, that the seven southern provinces are complex. Hong Yi nodded, thinking in his heart.

The seven major provinces in the south are the territory of the Zhao family, and it is also the territory of the prince. Mrs. Zhao's second son, Hong Kang, is the highest local governor of Shuiyang Province and the governor of Shuiyang Province.

And the governor of the seven provinces, who controlled all the military and political affairs of the seven southern provinces and the civil administration, and Wei Taicang, the feudal official, was also promoted by the prince.

However, Hong Yi had already wanted to go to the south, to see how big and deep-rooted the Zhao family's power was in the south, and to avenge his mother, the strength of the enemy had to be checked clearly!

"In that case, I will repair a book for this king, and after you take it, go back and prepare, and set off in three days, bringing a few trustworthy relatives with you, and it is good that there will be a response along the way. Yang Qian also stood up, the two went to the study, and after sitting down, they wrote a letter to Hong Yi to bring.

After taking Yang Gan's handwritten letter, Hong Yi rode out of the Jade Prince's Mansion and galloped back to Luliuzhuang.

"Tiezhu, you pack up your things, horses, clothes, bows and arrows, and bring five Zhuang Ding who train with you, and in three days, we will set off for the south. ”

As soon as Hong Yi returned to Luliuzhuang, he immediately summoned the people in the Zhuangzi to make preparations. He went on the road this time, ready to take Shen Tiezhu with him, as well as five personal entourage, that is, retired soldiers who won from the little marquis of Changle.

Of course, these soldiers are not masters, at most they are physically strong, martial arts level people, otherwise they would not retire for leisure. However, although they are not masters, they have been in the army in the end, and they are very familiar with the situation in the army, and it is good to take care of the horses and do some chores.

Hong Yi is going to be an official this time, not a big soldier, so it is very in line with the rules to bring some personal soldiers and entourage.

In fact, many sons and daughters of powerful people went to the army to fight for merit, and they all brought their personal entourage, family heirloom armor, horses and swords. Some even brought all the masters in their families over to protect themselves and beheaded them for meritorious service.

Hong Yi knew that when Hong Xi first joined the army, Hong Xuanji even sent Steward Wu in the mansion to protect him.

In the army, the officers with a little status also have slaves to serve, so many prisoners who are exiled for 3,000 li every year, and the armored people are enslaved, they all go to serve the officers, laundry, open a small stove to cook, feed the horses, and clean, all of which need to be served by manpower.

It's a pity that Hong Yi doesn't have a master by his side, otherwise he would definitely bring it, after all, the military is dangerous, and it is easier to save his life and make meritorious contributions with a master.

"Brother Yi, I'm going too. Xiao Mu on the side was sitting quietly, listening to Hong Yi going on a long journey, and Baba spoke.

"You can't take women in the army, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to go. Hong Yi looked at Xiao Mu in embarrassment, and then looked at Murong Yan next to him, he also wanted to take Xiao Mu with him, first, Xiao Mu's kung fu was strong, and second, he was afraid that Murong Yan would have the intention of snatching Xiao Mu again. However, it is forbidden to bring women in the army, although Hong Yi has Prince Yu as a backer, but he is also afraid of being caught.

"Cut, except for a few jīng rui in the big cadre army now, who cares about this rule? Those princes and nobles of Yujing are in the army to make merit, which one doesn't bring three or four little girls to serve by his side?" Murong Yan listened from the side, glancing at his mouth, "Besides, her figure hasn't grown yet, and she is dressed as a man, hehe, pay attention to it, and it is rarely visible." ”

Saying that, Murong Yan's eyes swept towards Xiao Mu's chest, Xiao Mu is still a little girl, and she has not grown into a big girl, so there is nothing wrong with pretending to be a man.

"That's fine. Hong Yi thought about it, Xiao Mu suddenly cheered, and then glared at Murong Yan fiercely.

"Don't worry, when you come back in a year, I will take care of your Green Willow Village to be prosperous, and I guarantee that it is not this Zhuangzi who only has seven or eight thousand taels of silver a year, hum, peanuts, sweet potatoes, not to mention seven or eight thousand a year, I have tinkered with it, seventy or eighty thousand a year is a trivial matter. Murong Yan seemed to regard himself as the owner of Green Willow Village, and said with a big grin.

"Good!"

Hong Yi suddenly screamed and slapped the table, this time suddenly, it scared Murong Yan a shudder, patted his chest, and frowned.

"Why do you look at me like this?" Murong Yan asked as she watched Hong Yi's eyes stare at her, and let out a long breath.

"My Green Willow Village will take care of it for you! I can give up another 30% of the income from peanuts and sweet potatoes! After the planting, you are seven, and I am three. Hong Yi said: "And when I come back in a year, I will give you the blood pattern steel needle!"

"What? You gave me the Blood Pattern Steel Needle a year later?" Murong Yan jumped up violently after hearing this, ignoring his image as the eldest lady, and turned his face over, "Are you fooling me?"

"Am I fooling you? Hong Yi waved his hand, avoiding Murong Yan's face.

"How to trade?" Murong Yan hurriedly asked.

"It's very simple, you can prepare seven sets of white cowhide jīng armor, two iron-wood ebony bows, three hundred carved arrows, two black-blooded horses, and three thousand taels of gold. Also, didn't you say that when you go to the family, there are two great masters who want to surround your safety? ”

Hong Yi said quietly.

He took Xiao Mu, Shen Tiezhu, and five soldiers to the south to make military merits, and had to be prepared. Xiao Mu and Shen Tiezhu are all masters of the martial arts level now, and they just use the Iron Wood Ebony Divine Bow, as for Yunmeng's black blood horse, they are all famous horses like Fire Rome, and after riding them, they are two or three times faster than ordinary war horses! These are all very needed.

And he knew that the big master that Murong Yan transferred from the family might come in the next two days, one was a goduncle, a top master at the grandmaster level, and another was a Chi Chaiyang, who was also an innate martial artist powerhouse, and it was better than anything else to pull one by his side to protect himself for a year!
