prosperous national teacher

The letter Su Yi handed over was quickly passed to the prefect.The magistrate was talking to the general, and when he heard that someone was looking for him, he thought that someone had come to see the general under the pretense of meeting him.

The prefect is not a foolish and reckless person, he would not know who is waiting at the door, so he would yell, "Didn't you see that I am talking to Mr. X? Tell him to wait outside!" or something like that.Not to mention offending people without knowing who is at the door, if you show this kind of demeanor in front of Shangfeng, it will be very unappetizing, and it will make Shangfeng think that other people are of poor character.

After the prefect complained to the general, he received the letter.The letter paper is good, and it is sealed with wax, and there is a flower pattern on the wax, which looks decent.

After the magistrate opened the letter, he glanced at the contents of the letter, and immediately frowned.

In the end, Su Yi gave up pretending to be an intelligence agent, because he knew that Yuchao's intelligence agents could connect through secret codes without any evidence.He couldn't explain why he didn't know the connection code, so he insisted on asking the magistrate to help pass the message.

Su Yi simply said that he had got an important news about the Xiongnu in northern Xinjiang and wanted to pass it on to the capital.If the magistrate doesn't believe it, he can pass it on to Wang Boyuan, who is in the military camp at the border, and let him decide.

The prefect was hesitating whether this was news about the Huns or about officials.If it is under the banner of Xiongnu news, the result is the news of an official's misconduct. If he spreads it rashly, he may be dragged into the muddy water.But if it was really news from the Huns, it would be a felony for him not to report the news.And if it is reported from him, it will be a great contribution.

Of course, before delivering the news, the magistrate will definitely summon that person to ask what the news is.It's just that if it really involves officialdom, he will be involved as long as he hears it. If it's someone he can't mess with, he can't buy murder to silence him.

But when he read the letter saying to report to another person, the magistrate heaved a sigh of relief, but his heart arose even more.

The reason why the prefect raised his heart was that among the officials guarding the northern border, many were of higher rank than Wang Boyuan, and Wang Boyuan was not from a great family, but he named Wang Boyuan by name. Could it be related to the Wang family?Is it really an official matter?And he breathed a sigh of relief because the person who is currently in his house happens to be Wang Boyuan.

The prefect sighed in his heart, thinking that the person who wrote the letter was lucky.Even if he wanted to hide it, it was impossible to hide it when Wang Boyuan was at his house.

The magistrate handed the letter to Wang Boyuan, saying: "I don't know if this person knows that Mr. Wang is here. This letter should be given to Mr. Wang."

Wang Boyuan was negotiating with the magistrate about the transportation of grain and grass. After hearing what the magistrate said, he took the letter and looked at it, saying: "The person is outside the door? Let him in."

Wang Boyuan looked at it for a while, and frowned.

The magistrate hurriedly said: "But what's wrong?"

Wang Boyuan shook his head: "It's nothing."

It's just that the handwriting is a little familiar.Wang Boyuan sighed in his heart and said with a smile, how is it possible?It must be just a simple handwriting similarity.How could that person come here?Wang Boyuan heard a letter from Beijing not long ago that His Majesty the Emperor held a birthday banquet very rarely, so he called Su Yi back to Beijing early.

It's a pity that there are many things in the frontier. Unlike before, he came to northern Xinjiang to exercise. He already has an official position and cannot leave his post without authorization.Cannot participate in the rare birthday banquet held by the emperor.

After receiving the magistrate's order, the servant thought that his eyesight was just right, and that person really had a lot of background, so he happily went to welcome him in.If the noble man reads well to himself and gives him some rewards, then he will earn money.Even if he didn't, he had done something, and at least he left an impression on the magistrate that he could handle things.

When Su Yi learned that the magistrate had called him in, he was relieved.As long as you let him in, you're halfway to success.Afterwards, as long as he put on a show based on his understanding of the imperial family, he would be able to communicate with Jingzhong smoothly, right?Even contacting Wang Boyuan is enough.

After Su Yi came to Beijing, he seldom kowtowed to anyone other than the emperor. After that, he was exempted from kowtowing in front of the emperor.When he entered the mansion, he was thinking all the way, how should he salute when he saw the magistrate?Why don't you pretend to be a family member and just make a bow?Then which family is he going to pretend to be?By the way, since he said that the news can be delivered directly to Wang Boyuan, he simply pretended to be Wang's family.Which member of the Wang family is more suitable?

Su Yi racked his brains, but he couldn't think of the names of people from the Wang family's collateral lineage who were similar to his age.Why don't you just make up one?That's someone pretending to be from the Mu family, he is more familiar with the Mu family.The friendship between the Mu family and the Wang family is simulated, and it is normal to find the Wang family.

When Su Yi was thinking wildly, he had already walked to the hall for receiving guests.Su Yi, who had already made up his mind to pretend to be a fan of his family, was ready to bow to the people in the hall with a calm face, and then he opened his mouth in surprise as soon as he raised his head.

The person on the opposite side was more surprised than him, stood up abruptly, and even knocked over the teacup in hand.

The sound of the teacup being knocked over brought Su Yi back to his senses, he smiled and bowed sincerely: "Oh, Shaohong, long time no see."

Seeing the appearance of the two, the magistrate immediately confirmed that the two knew each other and were quite familiar.He was glad that he gave the letter to Wang Boyuan and did not offend the Wang family.

Su Yi only bowed to Wang Boyuan, although the magistrate didn't know who Su Yi was, he was not angry.Since he is a person who can call Wang Boyuan, he must have a high family background. Maybe he already has an official position, and his official position is higher than him.

The magistrate was considering whether to ask first, but Wang Boyuan finally came back to his senses. He strode up to Su Yi with annoyance or joy on his face: "Why are you here?"

At the moment when he saw Wang Boyuan, Su Yi finally felt relieved, and his expression was also very relaxed: "Do you believe me when I say I'm lost?"

Wang Boyuan sneered: "Do you think I will believe it?"

Su Yi shrugged: "Actually, part of what I just said is true. Shaohong, please send a letter to His Majesty in the fastest way you can."

Wang Boyuan frowned so much that he could pinch dead bugs: "Did you really run out by yourself?"

Su Yi said: "I will explain this to you slowly later, it's hard to explain in one word."

Su Yi turned his gaze to the magistrate, and he smiled and said, "I heard along the way that the new grain promoted by the adults has a bumper harvest, and I am preparing to promote cotton. Is there any problem in cotton planting and processing? Now that I am here, maybe There are still things to do."

Just as the magistrate was about to speak, Wang Boyuan slapped Su Yi on the back of the head, and said angrily, "Are you working hard? Come back to Beijing with me!"

The prefect immediately shut up, not daring to interrupt.What is the background of this man?Could it be a relative of the royal family?Why send a letter directly to His Majesty the Emperor?

"Can you go to the capital?" Su Yi asked, "It's okay to leave without authorization, but is there nothing wrong with the border?"

If it is to escort Su Yi back to Beijing, it doesn't matter if Wang Boyuan leaves his post without authorization.But something happened at the border, and he couldn't walk away.The Xiongnu also seemed to have heard the news that the emperor was going to celebrate his birthday. During this period of time, the frontier should have been relatively peaceful, but they received news from spies that the Xiongnu army was gathering.

They are verifying the news and making preparations for their reinforcements and escort of military rations to the surrounding area.That's why Wang Boyuan came here.

Wang Boyuan sighed: "I'll send you back, I have to go back to the frontier immediately."

Su Yi said: "Then I'd better go back to the frontier with you and let His Majesty send someone to pick me up. I was scared out of my wits, who knows what will happen on the road, I don't feel safe if I don't follow the people I know The barracks at the border are the safest."

There must be fewer nails for the Xiongnu in the border barracks.What if there was an interception on the road, or if Wang Boyuan sent him a nail from the Huns?Moreover, the people Mu Yan sent to him, he can order, and if the situation is not right, he can get people to cooperate with him, even if some secrets are revealed, they can keep their mouths shut.Even if the person Wang Boyuan sent to him knew that he was a national teacher, he would not obediently listen to his layman's words, nor would he keep a secret from him.

What's more, even his confidants can be the nails of the Xiongnu, Su Yi really can't trust others.Now he has a bit of persecution paranoia, feeling as if someone is coming to take his life at any moment.If he didn't follow people he knew and was surrounded by strangers, he wouldn't feel at ease.

But even if he didn't know about Su Yi's delusional disorder, Wang Boyuan knew that Su Yi's status was precious. If he hadn't sent him back in person, he would have sent him to his trusted confidants and soldiers. But this time he left the military camp to perform official duties, and only brought one confidant with him. The guards he brought were also ordinary soldiers, and his confidants and personal soldiers stayed at the border to help him handle official duties in the barracks.

He is not at ease to let these people send Su Yi away.

It is only half a day's journey from here to the frontier for horseback riding.Now that Su Yi has left the capital, there is no shortage of half a day.He couldn't get away, so he would feel more at ease if the court sent someone to pick up Su Yi.

As for the imminent war, whether the frontier barracks will be unsafe, that is not the case.Su Yi didn't go to the front line, as long as the frontier was not breached, the frontier barracks were one of the safest places.If there is anything to do, let someone escort Su Yi to go first.Even the generals guarding the border, if they want to escape in the middle of the battle, they can basically escape, not to mention sending a non-general away when the war first started.

But maybe when the people who came to pick up Su Yi came, the battle hadn't started yet.Wang Boyuan thought optimistically.

"Then come with me. I'll have someone deliver a letter to Beijing." Wang Boyuan said, "Take a day off and leave tomorrow."

Su Yi said: "If you have finished your work, you can leave today. I don't think you brought many people with you. Maybe when you leave tomorrow, the news that I'm with you will spread. Maybe there will be people on the road at that time." What ghosts and monsters."

Wang Boyuan immediately asked seriously, "How did you get here?"

Su Yi glanced at the magistrate, and the magistrate hurriedly said, "I will leave first."

Wang Boyuan said: "Nothing, he can listen. He is still the son-in-law of your He Qing family."

The second half of Wang Boyuan's sentence was a bit joking, but Su Yi said with a look of surprise: "You and the Mu family are in-laws? What's the relationship with He Qing?"

The magistrate hurriedly said: "My wife is of the same clan as Mu Daren."

Su Yi nodded.That is, is it a close relative?But in ancient times, the same clan can be regarded as relatively close relatives?What's more, Mu Yan is the patriarch now.The magistrate and he are also a family?

Su Yi said: "The poor are polite, and the poor are friendly."

The magistrate hurriedly returned the gift, halfway through, he was stunned, speechless for a long time.

Although it was Wang Boyuan himself who made Su Yi trust the magistrate, Wang Boyuan said with a hint of sourness: "Yes, yes, as long as it belongs to the Mu family, the same clan can also be trusted immediately."

Su Yi gave Wang Boyuan a blank look: "It's you who said you can trust, and now you are the one who is eccentric, no matter what."

Wang Boyuan snorted, and said: "Okay, Master Luo has recovered, this is the famous Su Tianshi, Su Guoshi. So, Master Guoshi, are you going to the capital to celebrate His Majesty's birthday? Why did you get lost? Is this place here?"

The prefect came back to his senses and hurriedly saluted Su Yi.Su Yi was knighted as the Duke of the State, and the magistrate should kneel down according to the etiquette. The magistrate was in a hurry and almost staggered and fell down.Su Yi hurriedly supported the man, and said: "Don't kneel, the poor Taoist is most afraid of people kneeling, so the poor Taoist hides from people. Master Luo really wants to salute the poor Taoist, just make a salute or salute the poor Taoist It's done."

Wang Boyuan knew that Su Yi really didn't like others to kneel to him, so he said, "Since the celestial master has said so, don't kneel down, Mr. Luo, anyway, you and he are in the same family."

The sourness was about to come out.

But Su Yi nodded: "Indeed, He Qing and I are as close as brothers, so that's not bad."

Brother Qi is also a brother cough.

Wang Boyuan raised his head and rolled his eyes at the ceiling.Although their group of friends had already noticed that the relationship between Mu Yan and Su Yi was not normal, and he had already cut off his thoughts, but seeing Su Yi like this, he still felt uncomfortable, so uncomfortable that he wanted to beat Mu Yan up.

He has practiced at the border for so long, he should be able to beat Mu Yan, right?

The magistrate is now as nervous as he was when he came to Beijing for the first time to meet the saint.His obviously shrewd head is now a mess, his mouth is opening and closing, but he doesn't know what to say, so he can only keep bowing.

Su Yi couldn't laugh or cry.Is his reputation so terrible outside?

Su Yi hurriedly asked the magistrate to sit down, and sat down himself.The magistrate hurriedly gathered people to pour tea for Su Yi, and he obediently gave up his seat and sat next to him.Wang Boyuan also changed his position, giving up the top position to Su Yi.

Su Yi didn't shirk it either, anyway, now that he has the title of a Duke, what should be done according to etiquette.

Su Yi said: "Pindao was hijacked by the Huns on the road, if they didn't want to catch him alive, Shaohong, you might not see me."

The table was just cleared, and the tea just served was overturned by Wang Boyuan again: "What?!"

Su Yi briefly described the situation that day: "There is another guard who left, and he should not have been killed. He should have informed the capital immediately. Jingzhong should be looking for me now. I don't know if He Qing knows the news, so don't be frightened."

Wang Boyuan took two deep breaths and said, "I was almost scared out of my wits by you!"

Su Yi smiled and said: "I'm sitting in front of you, what's so scary. It's only a few days since I was arrested, and they should have found this direction. Knowing that I went to the border barracks, His Majesty should be at ease. Indeed There is no safer place than a barracks. Alas, I didn't expect the Huns to penetrate so deep."

Wang Boyuan was still calming down his frightened heartbeat, and the magistrate even lowered his head, not daring to breathe.

The national teacher was captured by the Huns?This news will shake the hearts of the people, even shake the foundation of Yu Chao.Su Yi's deeds over the years made these "insiders" feel that Su Yi's existence had been linked to Yu Chao's rule, as if without Su Yi, Yu Chao would have collapsed for a little while, and his importance was even greater than that of the prince.

After all, the emperor still has a lively second son. Even if there are some problems in his birth, if the emperor doesn't mind, he can still inherit the rule.

Emperor: I choose Su Yi.

"Lord Luo, this is an urgent matter, and I have to leave immediately. Please keep an eye on the rest, Lord Luo," Wang Boyuan said.

What kind of tea do you drink, what kind of accommodation do you stay, hurry back to the barracks!Who knows how many Hun nails are hidden here, who knows what they will do? !The people around him, if the Huns were so ruthless that they would not want the nails in northern Xinjiang, they might not be able to protect their friendship.

"Don't worry, Mr. Wang, I'll save you!" the magistrate immediately said.

Wang Boyuan nodded and said, "Kangle, do you need to eat first?"

Su Yi said: "Let's go directly, I am also a person who has been with the army, and I am not so delicate. If you are hungry, just eat some dry food."

Su Yi didn't say anything about the inn and luggage. He didn't need to take anything away, not even a horse.These prefects should help to clean up, and no additional arrangements are needed from him.

Wang Boyuan immediately ordered the people who came with him, sent his cronies to Beijing to deliver a letter, and then asked Su Yi to ride with him, and quickly left the city.

Although Su Yi's riding skills have been trained, but now that his Xiaozao is not around, Su Yi's riding skills have not reached the point where he can ride a horse casually.If you want to hurry, it is faster to ride with others.

.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..

Wang Boyuan and his party arrived at the camp that night.When Wang Boyuan introduced Su Yi to the general Ma Chong who guarded the frontier, General Ma, a man with a strong mind and experienced in many battles, was so frightened that he froze for several seconds before recovering.

And the messenger ran into Mu Yan before he reached the capital.As Wang Boyuan's confidant, he naturally knew Mu Yan.

Coincidentally, some of the people protecting Su Yi were very good at scouting. Although they were slow, they managed to find the forest where Su Yi stayed that day, and found the decomposed corpse and the barely readable cloth strip.

When they saw the words on the cloth, a group of tough guys wept with joy.Not only because of their admiration for Su Yi, but also because Su Yi was fine and their own lives were saved.

After getting the news, they split into two groups, continuing to search and deliver letters.

They are all soldiers in Mu Yan's hands, and they all have ways to communicate with each other.Without eating or drinking, Mu Yan ran away and killed two horses, and returned to the capital in just one day and one night.When he led people out of Beijing to search, he used special means to contact his soldiers and followed them.

After getting the news, Mu Yan was rushing over here when he met the person sent by Wang Boyuan to deliver the letter.Mu Yan sent people back to Beijing to deliver a letter, and then sent people to inform the rest of the people to stop searching, and then let Wang Boyuan's cronies lead the way, and rushed towards the frontier barracks overnight.

Su Yi didn't know that the person who came to pick him up was Mu Yan.But now that he has arrived at the barracks, seeing so many soldiers, he already feels very safe in his heart, and he is in the mood to "visit" the barracks.

Su Yi once invited himself to Northern Xinjiang, thinking that he should be useful.Now that he's here, he finds that he can really come in handy.

He chatted wildly with the generals at first, and talked about many ideas about how to govern the army and farm fields in later generations. Several generals expressed that they were deeply inspired.Then he looked at the tools for defending the city and put forward many suggestions for improvement.Then he discovered that the gunpowder barrel had come here, and there was also a sulfur mine nearby, so Su Yi was very interested in improving the gunpowder weapon.

"Aren't they going to give His Majesty a birthday present?" Su Yi said with a smile, "That's very good, His Majesty will definitely like this birthday gift. It would be even better if the King of the Huns came in person."

When Su Yi was in Qingzhou some time ago, he experimented with the method of making simple landmines.I originally wanted to present it to the emperor's father as one of the birthday gifts, but now maybe I can exchange it for a better birthday gift.

Like a big win?

Ma Chong left most of the work to his subordinates, and accompanied Su Yi himself. When Su Yi was nesting in the laboratory, he also nested in Su Yi's temporary simple laboratory, watching Su Yi making and experimenting with landmines. A nympho-like expression appeared on the bronze-colored tough guy's face. If it wasn't for the danger of landmines, he would have wished he could hug and kiss.

With this thing, the Xiongnu will be caught off guard.

After the Huns know about this thing in the future, they will have a way to deal with it.For example, using animals, or even worse, using captured civilians as a human wall to detect mines.But now they don't know. If they don't know, they will definitely be recruited.

No wonder that kid Mu Yan took the celestial master to the battlefield, and quickly wiped out Goguryeo.If the Heavenly Master is in his camp, he also feels that he can win the battle.

But... Ma Chong sighed inwardly.It is precisely because the Celestial Master is too important that he cannot be allowed to go to the battlefield.Not to mention that the Celestial Master almost died when he came back from the Goguryeo battlefield last time.It is that the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, and if it hurts the Celestial Master, it is Yu Chaotian's great loss.

The Huns also knew this, so they would attack the Celestial Master.

Without the celestial master, he would have defeated the Huns long ago, so why let the celestial master take risks?

But Ma Chong felt very happy to be able to spend a while with the Celestial Master.No wonder those aristocratic families in central Beijing chase after Tianshi every day. When he can't fight anymore and returns to the capital to retire, he must be one of them.

Although Tianshi's martial arts skills are not very good, but he has a deep understanding of military training and deployment, and has profound knowledge, and he has no airs about people. No matter whether he is a literati or a military general, Su Tianshi can have a good chat with him.However, Su Tianshi knew everything, but never interfered with the affairs of the army. Even when others asked him to give advice, Tianshi only said that he was a layman in military affairs and could not fight with axes. There are generals in the army who are good at leading troops to fight. Others talk too much?

The generals' favorability towards Su Yi was almost overwhelmed.
