Enter the red building

Xue Qiu didn't go to Jia's mansion to meet Lin Daiyu before leaving. Xue Qiu wanted to leave the capital because he didn't know how to face Lin Daiyu next, and tried his best to let go of this relationship in his heart. Maybe it was just his unrequited love. .Xue Qiu looked back at the bustling imperial city and ancient capital, smiled, then turned around and rode his horse galloping, leaving dust flying all the way.

Xue Qiu didn't know that it would be three years since he left, and many things would happen in these three years.

Xue Qiu and his group took the post road, and every post station had known for a long time that General Zhennan would go here and go straight to Guangdong Hai, so the post station would take care of them, so there was no need to worry about dry food, horses and other things.

The five hundred personal guards under Xue Qiu didn't take Xue Qiu seriously just because he was young.They also watched the competition in the school martial arts field last time. They saw Xue Qiu beat Mr. Li with their own eyes.In this way, Xue Qiu would spend less time trying to frighten them.

The five hundred soldiers were led by five captains of cavalry, and all five captains of cavalry had introduced themselves to Xue Qiu one by one.

The "big guy" Jiang Chong was extremely burly, and his strength was astonishing. He had a beard, copper bells and tiger eyes, and his family was just an ordinary family.

"Merry Ghost" He Sheng looks fair and clean, always with an unruly smile on his face. He heard from others that he has been to all the brothels in the capital, saying that the official was donated by his family.He Sheng is the younger brother of He Ming, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, but the relationship between the two brothers is not good. In fact, it is not difficult to know that there is no good relationship between the first son and the second son.

"Mr. Leng" Bai Yu is a typical boring gourd, with a straight face all day long, as if others owe him money and don't plan to pay it back, but he is very skilled, and he has come to this step by himself.

There is also a pair of twin brothers, elder brother Li Chen and younger brother Li Xi, they look exactly alike, if not for their different personalities, no one would be able to tell which of them is the elder brother and who is the younger brother.The Li family has been military officials for generations, and Li Chen's father, Li Wujue, is now guarding Northwest Pingchuan.

Xue Qiu is younger than these five people, and Jiang Chong is a generation older than Xue Qiu.But there is nothing awkward about Xue Qiu taking care of them. The first is because Xue Qiu has lived for two lifetimes and he is very mature.

Jiang Chong was old and really capable. Xue Qiu respected him very much and would ask Jiang Chong for his opinion on anything.

Jiang Chong has struggled for so many years and finally made it to the rank of Captain Qi. He naturally has his own way of being an official. Seeing that Xue Qiu is young but not frivolous, he really admires him in his heart. You know When I was young, I always wanted to make contributions, and suffered a lot because I thought I was number one in the world. I didn’t expect Xue Qiu to be the sixteenth general, but he didn’t look proud and arrogant. It was too much to see him asking himself many things. He is so sophisticated, he is like an old man who has lived for many years and knows how to behave.

If Xue Qiu knew that Jiang Chong saw him in this way, he would be very surprised. Although ordinary people think that they are mature, they are not as thorough as Jiang Chong's analysis. He has indeed lived for many years.

Starting from the capital, it takes half a month to get to Guangzhou by waterway.It takes 20 days to ride a horse every day by land.Although Xue Qiu can ride a horse, and his equestrian skills are good, but he has been riding a horse for 20 consecutive days, and Xue Qiu's inner thighs are bruised and purple, but Xue Qiu has to endure it, and he has been gritting his teeth. He dare not delay the military situation, let alone let himself The soldiers under him underestimated themselves.

But Xue Qiu's personal guards were complaining in their hearts, why this general has nothing to do with riding a horse every day, and why he doesn't rest for a few days, it's really unbearable to go on like this.

There was also a doctor in the post station, Xue Qiu didn't seek a doctor, but just ordered some Chinese medicine wine, and rubbed the swollen areas by himself every night.

Looking at the bruises on his legs, Xue Qiu couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Are you asking for trouble?"

In this way, the group arrived in Guangdong and Guangxi without stopping.Guangdong and Guangxi, also known as Liangyue, include Guangxi and Guangdong provinces, which are governed by the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.Pirates are rampant along the southeast coast, and the Guangdong Sea area is restless. Because of this incident, the governors of Guangdong and Guangxi have already changed two.Now serving as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi is Tian Qing'an, a former imperial examination examiner.

Speaking of which, Tian Qing'an had some relationship with Xue Qiu, he was the first Tian Xiucai who confronted Xue Qiu's eternal absolute, and he was from Jinling just like Xue Qiu.Tian Qing'an's reputation spread throughout Jinling after his confrontation that year, and he was awarded Jie Yuan in the next provincial examination, and was hand-picked as Tanhua in the final palace examination.

It is really rare for Tian Xiucai to be promoted to governor of Guangdong and Guangxi in just four years.It's just that because the previous two governors of Guangdong and Guangxi were dismissed, no one dared to think about this position, and only Tian Qing'an was promoted to this position. I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse.

Xue Qiu didn't know that Tian Qing'an was also from Jinling, and now he just rushed to Wuzhou, which is located at the junction of Guangdong and Guangxi, which is the Guangdong and Guangxi administrative office, while asking the locals about the pirates.

It was hard for Jiang Chong and others to believe that Xue Qiu, a dignified general, could actually lower himself to ask those fishermen and common people, and sometimes even help them with things.They also realized that Xue Qiu really wanted to get rid of these pirates for the common people.

In fact, Xue Qiu's heart is not so noble, he just knows that he has asked to send troops, if he doesn't do something to wipe out those pirates, he is afraid that his end will be even worse than the end of the previous two governors of Guangdong and Guangxi.He didn't want to harm himself and the Xue family.

After these days of inquiries, Xue Qiu has also roughly understood some of the situation of the pirates.Pirates usually come out at night to burn, kill and loot, and rarely appear during the day.When going out to plunder, they are often divided into several teams, a dozen teams or even dozens of teams, and they use the conch to communicate with each other.The swords and guns are polished sharply, and most of them use samurai swords, which are extremely lethal.He is good at close combat, and is used to setting up ambushes for sneak attacks. He often uses the word Sichuan or the word long snake array.

It is useless for those forts guarding the seaside, because when they reacted, the pirates had already retreated.

At the beginning, Xue Qiu felt that he was a Japanese pirate, but now it seems that it is not that simple.It is very likely that the locals also mixed up as pirates and came out to plunder under the name of Japanese pirates.Hearing that there is very little chance of counterattacking Haikou, Xue Qiu guessed that perhaps there might be Haikou himself among the local officials.

Xue Qiu kept a secret in his heart, and brought five hundred guards to Wuzhou.
