Chapter 535 Xiao Shen begs for intercession, and the general is like an uncle
Think about it carefully... After thinking about it, Zhong Nanfeng kept thinking about Dongjiakou, but he still didn't think of it, so the answer was naturally not even more so.
As for the New Year's Eve and the first day of the first lunar month, everyone actually lived in Shimen City. Wang Fulin, Xiaobei and his wife, as well as the uncle and nephew of the Shen family, were the first time they were celebrating the Spring Festival outside. They felt the atmosphere that was very different from the previous wealth and festive atmosphere. As for the others, they were not that deep. Although they were still unable to reunite with their families during the Chinese New Year, they were inevitably a little sad, but the generous rewards along the way made everyone feel worthy of the hard work on the road.
When you arrive in Dongjiakou, Liaodong is already close. After all, Shanhaiguan is the dividing line between Jizhen and Liaodong.
Compared with the passes and fortresses that had passed through mountains and rivers before, Wang Fulin and his group were still on the road, and had heard several guides explaining the differences between Dongjiakou. Many of the people stationed here were Zhejiang troops transferred from the south, and there were many direct descendants of the Qi family army. Although the number of people was only a few hundred, in order to solve their worries, they all brought their families with them when they went north, and combined with the original garrison's family, which made the remote and steep Dongjiakou Pass City a bit prosperous.
Dongjiakou Guancheng is also the first batch of Guancheng that was repaired in Jizhen. It was completed in the fifth year of Longqing, and the nearby Great Wall has been upgraded from the original secondary side to the level of the large side, which means it is a first-level side wall.
Because the pass is quite high, it is not the Qianmai general stationed here, but the garrison. Moreover, when Wang Fulin and his party entered the city, they learned another very big news. Wu Weizhong, the general of Shanhai Road, was inspecting Dongjiakou on that day! Among the former Qi family generals brought to Jizhen from the southeast, Hu Shouren, Wu Weizhong, Lou Dayou, and Ye Sizhong were the most well-known, but the latter two were intermediate officers on the first floor of the Qianmai general. Hu Shouren and Wu Weizhong had already entered the senior officer sequence, and the other three except Hu Shouren were all from Yiwu.
Compared to the time when Ye Sizhong avoided him. Not long after everyone entered the city, a team of personal soldiers came to pass the order. General Wu Xuan saw that he had no choice but to see Wang Fulin and Shen Maoxue. Shen Yourong was so depressed that he was extremely depressed. As soon as his uncle and Wang Fulin left, he and the other group followed the personal soldiers to the accommodation, he always had a calm face. When he was allocating the house, he saw that Xiaobei, who had been introduced by Wang Fulin, was taking Bizhu into the house, and he didn't know where he had the idea. He suddenly chased after him. Although he was stopped before he reached the door, he also saw Xiaobei turning around in surprise.
Shen Yourong turned around and winked at his entourage. Seeing that these Shen family servants were well trained to go home, he lowered his voice and said, "Mrs. Young lady, I have something to do."
Xiaobei often heard Wang Fulin telling him about the uncle and nephew of the Shen family along the way, and heard that Shen Yourong was going to join the army. He admired him very much. Although he was surprised at this moment, he thought about it and nodded and sent someone to enter the house. But besides Bizhu, she had to call Li Erlong to accompany him. However, when she sat in the main seat, Shen Yourong's prominent title immediately made her smile freeze.
"Aunt, please come forward and say a love to Uncle Wang. I just beg him to say a few words to me in front of my uncle and ask my uncle to agree to join the army. Why doesn't he agree to such a simple thing?"
I am not the same surname and ethnic group, nor are I a relative. Where did Uncle Wang come from? Where is my aunt in your family?
It would be fine if Xiaobei was called by Jin Bao at home. After all, this was something that had been mentally prepared for a long time, but she was called aunt at a young age. She really wanted to roll her eyes. Because Chen Maoxue often called Wang Fulin's brother Wang, and his peers' friendships. Chen Yourong usually called Wang Fulin Mr. Wang, and there was no problem calling him Young Lady just now, but now this name is really... After finally adjusting her mentality, she thought of Wang Fulin's words and words, and immediately coughed: "Actually, he didn't agree to you in this matter, but he felt that your uncle would definitely agree to you."
"Ah?" Chen Yourong didn't want to get such an answer. He was stunned for a moment before saying incredible, "But my uncle was very careful about my studies before, and often used my elder brother's third place exam when he was in school, and he suddenly went to Ningguo Mansion to attack me. How could he let me join the army?"
How did I know, that's what Wang Fulin said anyway!
Xiaobei secretly complained to herself. Seeing Chen Yourong begging, she thought about Wang Fulin's condition to Wang Daokun before. When she said she wanted her to go with her, and when she said she wanted to go to Liaodong, she felt a move in her heart. She deliberately frowned as if she was embarrassed and thought for a while, then she reluctantly agreed, "Okay, I'll ask him again for you. However, I hope you can agree to something."
As if she was afraid that Chen Yourong would think too much, she immediately added, "Although my husband knows a few sword skills, he is naturally far from the achievement of your uncle and nephew because he was always studying. But when he went to Liaodong, he actually asked his uncle Wang Shilang. After all, Liaodong and Jizhen only faced the Tartars' troubles. Liaodong was just Chahaner Mongolia, Taining Wei, and Jurchen, and often had to face the situation of joint attacks between various tribes. My husband has the ambition to pacify the captives. If he has the chance at that time, please help Mr. Chen!"
"Is this more important? If there was one day, of course I would have listened to Uncle Wang!" Chen Yourong thought it was something difficult. When he heard that this was exactly what he wanted in his life, he immediately agreed happily, and then bowed to the ground, "Thank you aunt."
Xiaobei remembered that Wang Fulin joked that he should be called Uncle Wang because he was called Senior Brother Lu Guangwu. Now that he even heard two aunts, he felt that the complexity in his heart could not be expressed in any language. She reluctantly held her demeanor until she left with a spirit. She couldn't thank Li Erlong, who had just invited him to help and help avoid suspicion, and he called Li Erlong flattered and said he didn't dare.
After both of them left, she complained to Bizhu: "This young master Chen and the Wang family are not relatives, so they have their own opinions with his uncle. Besides, didn't Wang Fulin call him uncle Mr. Chen? He was an aunt as soon as he came up, and I didn't know what to say about him! He was just to be afraid that his uncle would not agree to his joining the army. I saw that Mr. Chen had known it a long time ago, and he didn't point him out."
"Miss, do you think everyone is like a son-in-law. He is not afraid of being young at a young age? However, if the son-in-law knows that the young lady has put Mr. Chen in with words, he will definitely laugh when he comes back."
Wang Fulin, who was in front of Wu Weizhong, felt his nose itchy inexplicably. But at this moment, his whole spirit was concentrated on the Shanhai Road Gate General, and he didn't care about the little discomfort. As he guessed, Wu Weizhong had already received the news that he and Shen Maoxue Chen Yourong's uncle and nephew were going to take the sidewalk to Shanhaiguan. The source of the news was not elsewhere, but Qi Jiguang.
"The Grand Marshal said that if you didn't arrive at Dongjiakou before the first day of the second month, everything will be stopped. But if you came at the beginning of the first month of the first month, then stay in Dongjiakou for some time, just in time for a good show."
why is that?
Wang Fulin and Shen Maoxue looked at each other. At the same time, they saw the doubts in each other's eyes, but immediately afterwards, the two of them showed shocked expressions at the same time.
Could there be a war next?
Wu Weizhong, who was in the main position, kept paying attention to the expressions of Wang Chen and the others. Seeing that they obviously understood, he smiled and said, "In short, Dongjiakou Pass City is a fortress on the northern wing of Shanhai Pass, which is absolutely solid and reliable. You can spend the Lantern Festival and the first lunar month here with confidence. At that time, the weather in Liaodong was not as cold as before. Otherwise, if you want to set off at this time, you must plan to be frozen."
Since Wu Weizhong had no further explanation, Wang Fulin and Shen Maoxue were not easy to ask. They agreed immediately. When the two got up and wanted to leave, Chen Maoxue left first, but Wang Fulin was kept by the Shanhai Road Governor. Wu Weizhong asked in detail about his meeting with Qi Jiguang, and then mentioned Wang Daokun's sword, with curiosity in his eyebrows. Wang Fulin had to tell the truth: "Because I came to see General Wu, and the sword was too disrespectful, I entrusted the sword to my family for safekeeping."
"That important thing can be worn on your body unless you go to Liaodong to meet Mariser Li. I have seen two swords with him by his side. This time I missed it, and it is a bit regretful to think about it. When Mr. Nanming was in Yiwu, he made fair decisions and taxes and service. We who came from Yiwu respected him very much. If we say that the Marser started fighting against the Japanese in the southeast, we didn't know how many people we had worked with, but the best friendship was except Mr. Nanming, and there was no one else. Even the Grand Marshal Tan Shangshu, even the personal friendship with the Marser rather than justice, would be inferior..."
Seeing that Wu Weizhong was going to talk about the battle between Wang Daokun and Qi Jiguang, Wang Fulin couldn't help but find it interesting, but he was even more grateful that Qi Jiguang did not reveal Xiaobei's affairs to Wu Weizhong, and he also spared the effort of explaining it again. Wu Weizhong was less than forty years old this year, and in his prime, he was approachable and chatted like an uncle next door. Wang Fulin found that the other party had no intention of tempting family matters, but just spoke to his younger generation's attitude. After a while, he called his uncle. Wu Weizhong refused to do so, but it was obvious that Wang Fulin, a new Jinshi, had no arrogance at all, so he naturally obeyed him. In the end, he was forced to keep him for dinner by Wu Weizhong.
When he returned to the place where he arranged for his group, it was already night. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Xiaobei and Bizhu master maid holding fur to make needles and threads under the lamp. Although he knew that he was rushing to make these things because he rushed along the way, and the wind and snow were going to be in the wind and snow, and the clothes were worn out. In addition, Liaodong was colder than Jizhen, so he needed cold-proof equipment. But when he thought of Wu Weizhong's instructions, he went up and snatched things and threw them aside. He smiled and said, "Don't rush to do these at night, be careful to hurt your eyes. Don't say that you have to rush through the day, we will have to live in Dongjiakou until the first month of the year before leaving."
Xiao Bei was about to grab the things back, but he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this: "Why is this? Could it be that Wu Weizhong deliberately held us?"
"No, listen to me..."
After hearing Wang Fulin's explanation, Xiaobei understood it and breathed a sigh of relief with lingering fear. She was really tired from the cold wind and horses along the way. She could have a place to rest for a while. As for the attacks that Dongjiakou might have caused, she didn't care at all. After all, since Qi Jiguang was wary of her, what else could she be afraid of? Since she was in a relaxed mood, she had to talk about what Chen Yourong had been here today, leaving only the strange name of that aunt. Sure enough, she saw Wang Fulin laughing.
"I'm worried about how to coax him into the trap. Since he took the initiative to come to the door to agree to your conditions, it would be great! This time I went to Liaodong, and I wanted to meet the Liaodong general Li Chengliang and Li Damao Li, and I also thought of Fushun to see if there was any opportunity. If I'm too lucky, I really need a master. To be honest, I really hope that Senior Brother Lu is here..." Wang Fulin couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw Xiaobei not staring at him because of this title, but continued, "If there is a warrior Lu, the world, here, you will be more sure of this trip."
Although it is only the third year of Wanli, not the forty-sixth year of Wanli, there is no danger when you are prepared!
ps: I was in a bad mood for a few days and couldn't find a place to vent my catharsis, because I had relatives and friends on Weibo and WeChat. I cried last night and this morning. I couldn't read the chapters on my phone anyway, so I took them to vent my mood. Everyone, I'll give it up. If you don't want to see me take out the trash, just skip it (to be continued.)
Chapter completed!
