The younger brother of the Red Chamber is a fighter

Lin Mingyu's delay in Yiyang mansion turned over the new year.In the first three or five days, a fast horse was sent over, but after more than half a month, the angels did not come to the capital.

"... Immediately escort Jiang Shandu and other traitors back to Beijing, and hand them over to Dali Temple for trial." After the eunuch Xia announced his order, he said with a smile: "Mr. Lin, if you want me to say that this year is over, you won't go back to the capital to meet with me." Boss Lin is reunited, what are you doing staying in this cold place? Why don’t you go back to the capital with your servants, and you will have face in front of the Holy One.”

Lin Mingyu saw that he was the one who announced the decree, and felt strange in his heart, and saw that his behavior was even more different than when they met in the palace, so he said: "I was just about to ask, why did your lord come in person in this cold and snowy place?" Passing the decree? How about the virtuous concubine in the palace? When I left Beijing, I heard that the thirteenth prince still had something wrong with him, is it all right now?"

Eunuch Xia's eyes tightened, and he smiled slowly: "Everything is safe, Mr. Lin can come back to Beijing with me? When I came, Aunt Lin from the fifth princess's mansion seemed to be relieved."

Lin Mingyu was startled, and said: "When did the fifth princess open the mansion?"

Tu Ling'er is only thirteen or fourteen years old now, not yet married, and she has never heard of anyone chosen as her son-in-law. How come there is already a princess mansion?

Eunuch Xia knew he had made a slip of the tongue, and said in a vague way: "When did you ever open the mansion, just call it indiscriminately. The emperor's order is here, and I can't stay longer, so I should quickly pick him up and leave. Hurry up and pick him up."

Lin Mingyu was so eager to mention someone and urged herself to return to the capital, Lin Mingyu felt more and more that something was wrong here, seeing that the subordinate was about to speak, she quickly stopped her with a wink, and said: "Master Xia said, sit in this room for a while, Later, I will bring someone to do business. I will go to the kitchen to see, the water and wine are ready, and my lord is exhausted after a long journey, so there is no reason not to have some hot wine."

As he spoke, he was accompanied by others and walked out by himself.

After living in Yiyang Mansion these days, Lin Mingyu became acquainted with both internal and external officials, and also knew all the people on the list that Tu Lingyun gave him, so he ordered Lin Da to quickly bring them to discuss.Just as he was trying to procrastinate, Lin Da came over and whispered something in his ear.

Lin Mingyu paused for a moment, let the others discuss first, and then walked out by herself: "Where's the person?"

Da Lin said in a low voice: "Beside Master Xia, the one with the mole on the corner of his mouth. Just now I went to deliver tea, he came out after him, and stuffed this into my hand, just asked me to hand it to the master, I dare not ask more questions , and I was afraid of making a mistake, so I came to report to the Lord."

Lin Mingyu looked at the paper again, and his expression became solemn.When Tu Lingyun left, he told him that Tu Lingguang Xu had a letter. He waited until the end of the new year and still hadn't received the news, so he was not in a hurry.There is a father and a sister in Kyoto. There is no news about Tu Lingyun. Why is there no news about the power around his father?

Fortunately, this time Brother Tu followed the eunuch Xia's opportunity to pick someone up and passed this sentence: The emperor has not been in the morning court for more than a month, and the Zhongshun palace has already turned against him.I didn't say anything extra, I think the situation is not good.

In this way, eunuch Xia has already voted for King Zhongshun, and Jia Yuanchun in the palace may also be an accomplice.Lin Mingyu immediately turned back and entered the room, and said to everyone: "I'm going to Weixing Pass, everyone just keep Eunuch Xia, don't let anyone leave, wait until I come back with the prince's password."

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what happened.Lin Mingyu's face was serious, "It's a very important matter, so it's inconvenient to say more to you right now, just do as I say, if there's anything, I'll take care of it."

All the people here are confidantes of Changping Prince's Mansion. When Tu Lingyun left, he confessed that he should take care of Lin Mingyu more and cooperate with him as much as possible. Now that Lin Mingyu's expression does not seem to be fake, the first person stood up and said: "Since the young master said so, I'll just do it, son, be careful on the road, and take our two brothers with good skills."

The rest of the people hesitated for a moment, but also agreed.

Lin Mingyu said: "To trouble you all, let's invite two horsemen who are good at riding and shooting. I'm going to hurry up these few days, and I'm afraid there will be no rest on the road. Let's go back and pack some bags and prepare to go."

After the discussion, it was decided that Lin Mingyu would no longer go to the front hall to see Eunuch Xia.Lin Da prepared his attire, and said: "I just saw Eunuch Xia was very drunk in the front hall, and I think he won't have an attack today. My master's health is just better, and he's running around like this. Why don't I take someone there? My master is here." If you sit here, you can hold back."

Lin Mingyu said: "Some things, I have to make it clear to Lord Changping, you are not enough to ride and shoot, you should practice more later, if there is such a thing again, you will definitely follow. Qin Zhong and Zhou Shouhe are still in Yiyang, you Take a closer look, if they want to leave, keep it for now, let them go after this matter is over. I will leave this matter to you, don't make mistakes at this juncture. "

Lin Da hurriedly responded: "I think Mr. Qin and Mr. Zhou are quite honest. They only read and write poems during the day, and don't go out much. Don't worry, I'm watching, nothing will happen."

While talking, things are also ready.Lin Da handed over the bow and arrow, and then dug out a body armor that Tu Lingyun had left for Lin Mingyu, waited for him to put it on, and then tied on the big gray wolf fur cape, saying: "Master, please be careful of your body, if you are too tired Yes, I will take a rest on the road. There are pills in my purse, which can dispel the cold and relieve pain."

"I see, go and see if everyone is here, and let's go when all are here."

As soon as the crowd gathered, Lin Mingyu instructed to ensure the stability of Yiyang City, and immediately led a group of people out of the city.

Needless to say, the journey was a lot of hard work, because I had some precautions in my heart, I just slept in the open in the middle of the road, and if I met any suspicious people, I would leave a letter to inform the local government office, but Lin Mingyu and others avoided it and went to Weixing Pass at full speed Mercedes Benz.

When finally arrived at Weixing Pass, there was a glimmer of light in the sky.Lin Mingyu rested outside the city for a while, and only entered the city after the city gate opened.The people who followed him were the people left behind by Tu Lingyun, who were familiar with the people in Tu Lingyun's army, so Lin Mingyu arranged for them to inquire about Tu Lingyun and King Changping, and then went to the government office by himself.

The first batch of people who escorted the food and grass was led by Hu Zihua. Since he came, he has been with King Changping and is in charge of military supplies. King Changping has been stationed at Weixing Pass for more than a month. Ya, Lin Mingyu planned to find a chance to meet him this time.

When he arrived at Weixing Guanfu Yamen, he handed a greeting card to the concierge, claiming to be Hu Hua's cousin from afar. He came to visit. The concierge read his post and saw that he was well-groomed, with the demeanor of a son of an aristocratic family, so he was polite. He said: "It's not a coincidence that you came. Mr. Hu went to Dongdaying to escort the military supplies for two days, and he is no longer in the mansion. I think if you are not in a hurry, you can find an inn nearby to live in. When Mr. Hu comes back, I will report it for you, and there will be no delay."

Lin Mingyu quickly thanked her, reached out her sleeve and took out a purse, handed it over and said, "Thank you, this little tea money, please don't take offense. I heard from my cousin's letter that he dispatches supplies with Prince Changping on weekdays, and It is said that the military situation is urgent, and I don’t know how long it will take to go to Dongying? I really can’t let it go.”

The concierge weighed the weight of the purse in his hand, and smiled more honestly: "Don't worry, my lord, it's nothing serious. The barbarians did attack hard a year ago, and then our general Zhenxi came, and together with the prince, we suppressed the arrogance of the barbarians in one fell swoop. No, Mr. Hu is sitting in the yamen to deal with official affairs. It was good. A few days ago, the barbarians didn't know what medicine they took wrongly, and they gathered together like crazy, stalking and stalking, and angered the prince. If you want to send troops to fight, Mr. Hu will be busy. It will only be a few days, don't worry, there is an inn just across the street from here. If you want to stay there, I will personally remind you Son."

"Don't dare to be troublesome. Since the little brother said so, I will leave first." Lin Mingyu learned what he wanted to know, and after leaving quickly, he went to wait at the place agreed with his companions.

After waiting for less than half an hour, the other two came back. Lin Mingyu asked Xiao Er to serve some snacks and tea, poured a cup for each of them, and said, "Let's talk after drinking some water."

The two men walked for half a day, they were already thirsty, drank hot tea, and said: "I found out that the son and the prince fought against the barbarians at the foot of the east mountain outside the city. It turned out that the son was guarding the east mountain, and the prince was sitting in the city. Seven days ago, for some unknown reason, the barbarians got entangled with a large army to launch an attack, and the prince led the army to set off. The stalemate is still there today."

Lin Mingyu said: "It is consistent with what I inquired about. Seven days ago, it was the time for us to set off. It seems that the news of the capital has already reached the barbarians. Let's eat something now. After eating, we will leave the city. At the city gate, any questions?"

One of them said: "It's ready, the horses are ready outside the city gate, we can change trains when we go out of the city, and we can go to Dongshan Daying in half a day."

"Okay, let's eat first." Lin Mingyu asked Xiao Er to serve some wine and meat, the three of them finished eating, after paying the bill, they walked out of the inn and went outside the city gate.

The news of this trip was confidential, so the three of them kept a low profile and went out of the city like ordinary people. At the foot of the wall outside the city, one person led three horses and waited for them.

The three of them changed horses, and the man said in detail the location of Dongshan Daying, and he said goodbye.

The horse's hooves rattled, kicking up light dust on the official road.

There are no people on the official road, this is the land of Dahong, but since the barbarians attacked the city, from time to time, taking advantage of Dahong's army defending the city, they came to the mountain villages outside the city to plunder. The barbarians grew up on horseback, and all of them were brave The knights came and went flexibly. They left after they had finished robbing the mountain villages of the ordinary people, and set fire to them before leaving. When the Dahong army chased them, only the burned ruins remained.

Even if King Changping's army came later and blocked the dozens of miles outside the city like buckets, the people were afraid and refused to leave the city easily.

Lin Mingyu and the others walked forward against the wind, and walked straight until the sun was shining, and finally saw the outline of Dongshan from a distance.The further you go, you can already see Tan Ma galloping.Lin Mingyu and others put the reins on the horse, slowed down their pace, and waited for the horse to move forward.

"Who is coming, the place of the barracks, stop!"

A team of scouts came over to ask questions.

One of Lin Mingyu's people came out and replied: "General Zhenxi's subordinate Chen Yanping has important military information, please see King Changping, General Zhenxi!"

Tan Ma was startled and hurried up to verify his identity.Lin Mingyu saw that Chen Yanping took a badge from his waist and handed it over. The man looked at it carefully and said, "Follow me."

After driving the horse for a while, we saw the horse barrier with gazebos on both sides.Tanma asked them to wait outside the camp, and after he reported inside, a group of soldiers came over and stood by their side.

Lin Mingyu glanced around, and saw that the camp occupied a vast area, and there were countless tents inside, densely spaced and tightly integrated. The soldiers were all dressed in firm, high-spirited spirits, and kept their eyes on the team of soldiers guarding them. , with a strict mouth, not uttering a word, it is obvious that Changping Wang Zhijun is extremely strict.

Lin Mingyu marched with Tu Lingyun's army for a period of time, so he was not surprised by this, and half of his worries were put aside.

After a short wait, I saw several fast horses galloping out of the camp, and after a crisp sound of hoofbeats, several horses approached.

Tu Lingyun rolled over from his horse and said, "Mingyu, why did you come here in person?"

Lin Mingyu and the two people around him saluted one after another, and then said: "My lord, I have something important to report to the lord, can you take me to see the lord now?"
