Pet wife Imperial Examination Road

They bought two catties of cakes from a pastry shop, and the two went to visit Cao Yan formally. Cao Yan simply thought that they were here to thank them, and specially ordered good wine and food to entertain them.

"I, Cao Yan, don't have any big ambitions. What I love most in this life is making friends. A bowl of wine can make a friend."

"I'm here today because I want to talk about something."

"Although I say, as long as my brother can help, I will definitely help you."

"Remember the expedition eight years ago?"

Cao Yan stopped gnawing on the chicken leg, "Why did you talk about this?" He put down the chicken leg and wiped off the oil stains on his hands with a handkerchief.

"Because I was also in that battle."

Cao Yan quickly grabbed Cheng Mu, "Brother, you can't talk nonsense. The Pingnan battle has been going on for so long, and the court has covered everything up. It's a little inappropriate for us to talk about it now."

It is really hard to believe this matter is brought up rashly now, and Cao Yan is even more suspicious, knowing that there are not many people in his past, and those who participated in the Pingnan War at that time are now living far away from the capital, or they are all driven out. He is also lucky to survive here.

"I know you don't believe me, but I'm not with the fourth prince. You have to believe that I'm with you first."

Yun Yun understood what was going on, "Is this what you kept from me before?"

"This is only part of it," Cheng Mu continued, "My real name is Wei Jin."

Cao Yan was stunned. Didn't the general have already died in the battle? Why did he suddenly appear, "Even if you know that I participated in the Pingnan battle, the general is not like this. I have been with him for three Years, don't you even recognize his face?"

"I was burned on the face by the fire. This was cured by a barefoot doctor I met, but after the cure, it became like this."

"Then what evidence do you have to prove...to prove that you...are the great general? No one dares to mention this matter now. Is there any purpose for you to tell me?"

Cheng Mu explained the process of the battle in detail, including how the fourth prince framed him, and explained everything clearly. After listening, Cao Yan was convinced that he was a general.At that time, the tactics used in the battle against the Southern Qiang Kingdom were thought up by the general himself, and only he could explain the truth in detail, and the others just followed orders.

Cao Yan dared to believe it completely now, "The last general Cao Yan will see the general!"

The moment Yun Yun knelt down, she also understood why Cheng Mu had always been restless since he came to the capital. Anyone who was framed and killed all the males would have a grudge in his heart, and he still thought that Cheng Mu didn't want to marry him. Tell him these things.

"General, did you come to see Cao Yan today for something important?"

"Now the situation in Beijing is complicated, and I have to leave again. If we want to vindicate the unjust case and reorganize the country, we can only rely on the eldest prince, so I want you to always pay attention to the movements in Beijing and inform the court of what happened in time."

"Who is this?" Cao Yan pointed at Yun Yun.

"I have paid homage to my family."

Cao Yan knelt down to Yun Yun, "Join Madam!"

"You don't have to do this, I'm just a small county magistrate, and it's thanks to you that I went to a good place."

Cao Yan held Yun Yun's arm and said, "Ma'am, you are welcome. This title is appropriate. At that time, I thought that the general was an upright man, how could he collude with those barbarians, but there was no evidence. After returning to Beijing, most of the brothers left. Yes, my father asked someone to find me a job, and that's how I stayed in the capital."

Yun Yun was a little uncomfortable being held by his big hand, and said awkwardly, "Brother Cao, your hand..."

"Oh, look at how excited I am, I forgot about this. General, since you have decided to help the First Prince, what can you do?"

"This trip to the south is part of the plan. In the past few years, the Southern Qiang Kingdom has secretly garrisoned troops to buy food and grass. It is estimated that it wants to attack the Great Northern Dynasty. Now that the imperial treasury is short of money, coupled with the corruption of those people, it may be a little bit to be able to resist the attack. If it is difficult, you will remain silent and wait for our instructions to act."

"As ordered."

When Cheng Mu saw Cao Yan, he decided that this was the right time to tell Yun Yun about the matter. Cao Yan was only a lieutenant at the time, but he was very heroic in killing the enemy on the battlefield. It would be more beneficial for the plan to get his help now.

Yun Yun explained the whole incident clearly, "I didn't want to tell me about this before, because I was afraid that something might go wrong. This scheme is too dangerous, and even if something goes wrong, it's hard to get back."

"Yeah, so the less people know, the better. I didn't want to involve you in that time, but you insisted on going to the princess mansion to steal things, and you can't get in if you don't want to. You can only find a good time to trust everything." out."

"Going to the princess mansion to steal things, I just feel that there may be some clues. I finally went in. It's a pity not to come out with something. Are we now a strong alliance? I can stand alone. "

"When I first met you, I was still a child, but now I am a person who can stand on my own."

Yun Yun also felt that time flies, "Let's go to Baiyang. If I become a county magistrate, I can benefit the people. Remember what I said before, if I become an official, I must be a good person for the people and the world." Officer. It is not easy to be in the mud, and now it seems that you can hide your name for more than ten years for your grievances, and I can calm down and wait for the opportunity."

"We have nothing to worry about about the capital now, it's time to leave."

When I first came here, it was snowy in winter, but now it is midsummer, and I have to go back to Qingzhou to set a record at the state government office before I can take office in Baiyang.The imperial court rewarded each newly appointed official with 20 taels of silver as money, and Yun Yun calculated the money after receiving it.

"The money we brought with us when we came here has already been spent. Fortunately, I earned some by copying the scriptures, and Cao Yan sent over 50 taels of silver, and Zheng Shuyu also sent some. It's better to leave this time." The time is much richer." Yun Yun said counting the money.

"No matter how rich you are, you still have to spend some at home. You don't know what it will be like to go to Baiyang. At that time, you will spend a lot of money."

"Stop talking, once I say it, I think we are poor again."

The corners of Cheng Mu's lips turned upward, "There is always money. If you become a county magistrate immediately, you will have a salary."

First go to the racecourse to hire a carriage. The capital's racecourse is in the eastern suburbs of the city. It is said that there are thousands of horses in it, and they all travel to and from all over the country.Yun Yun and Cheng Mu rushed early in the morning to see if there were any good horses. The carriages to Qingzhou were all together, and a dozen coachmen were sitting on the carriages waiting for customers.

"Yun Yun, look at that man over there." Cheng Mu pointed to the back of a man in the corner.
