Chapter 1888
PS: Thanks to book friend Luo Chuan Changlin for his reward.
Among the followers of Eunuch Li were people from the Jinyiwei.
When these people heard the sound of horse hooves, they picked up the embroidered sword beside them, stood up from the ground, and stared vigilantly at the direction where the sound of horse hooves came.
Although Eunuch Li sat by the bonfire without moving, his eyes also looked over.
As the sound of horse hooves became louder, several black shadows appeared in everyone's eyes.
Wow!
After approaching the bonfire where Eunuch Li and others were, several people riding horses pulled the reins and controlled the horses under their crotch to stop.
"Who is Eunuch Li?"
Among the people who came, someone asked the person beside the bonfire.
"Our family is." Eunuch Li stood up from the bonfire and asked immediately, "Who are you? What's the price to come to our family so late?"
"My general has a letter and ordered us to come and hand it over to Eunuch Li." The person on the horse's back looked at Eunuch Li and said.
Eunuch Li raised his chin to the closest companion, and instructed him: "Go over and bring the letter to our family."
The follower walked carefully towards the visitor.
After approaching, a man on the horse took out a letter from his arms and threw it at the entourage that came.
The follower received the letter in a hurry, quickly returned to Eunuch Li, and handed it respectfully to Eunuch Li.
The eunuchs in the palace of the Ming Dynasty were different from those in the Qing Dynasty.
In the Ming Dynasty, most eunuchs went back to study and read from childhood, and became eunuchs who were in charge of seals and were even called internal ministers, while eunuchs in the Qing Dynasty were not allowed to read.
The country is dominated by a small tribe. We are always worried that our rule will be subverted and will suppress it in all aspects. The so-called Manchu and Han family are just tools used by fools of the people.
Eunuch Li, who took the envelope, took out the letter paper from it, opened it and looked through it.
There was not much content on it, so he finished reading it soon and threw it into the bonfire next to it, allowing it to be completely burned into paper ashes.
"Why don't your general come here in person?" Eunuch Li asked the people who have always been here.
The other party replied: "My general said that he had a big goal and would easily be found once he left. So he specifically told me to apologize to my father-in-law before coming."
"If he doesn't come here in person, how can we say something to him?" Eunuch Li's face slightly darkened.
The other party said: "My father-in-law can tell the little one directly, and the little one will tell my general truthfully."
"You?" Eunuch Li snorted and then said, "Forget it, since your general is not convenient for him to show up, you can only tell me."
The man on the horse's back bowed slightly and said, "Please say, father-in-law, listen here."
"If a few things are not secret, it will be a disaster. Do you want our family to tell you so far?" Eunuch Li said unhappily.
When the person on the horse was hearing this, he hurriedly said, "It's the little one who is not thoughtful. I hope my father-in-law will forgive me. The little one will pass."
As he said that, he jumped off the horse's back and strode towards Eunuch Li.
Several Jinyiwei suddenly blocked his way.
"Let him come here." Eunuch Li, who was standing behind, said to several Jinyiwei.
Only then did several Jinyiwei get out of the way and let the person go.
Soon, the person came to Eunuch Li, bowed a little, and said, "Dear, please tell me, little one."
"Our family asked you, has the relationship between the person named Zhao ever been involved?" Eunuch Li asked.
The man said, "The person surnamed Zhao is the old team around Liu Heng. He followed him a long time ago. It is almost impossible to win over the other party. My general dare not take the risk of revealing his identity."
"How many have been won over in the army?" Eunuch Li asked again.
The man replied, "With a battalion, I am willing, anyway, there are military generals like my general who serve in the same place, but only my general knows the specific number."
"It's too few, at least one of the masters must win over." Eunuch Li said unhappily.
The man smiled bitterly and said, "These Shizheng, who is the same as the one named Zhao, all followed Liu Heng from the beginning. It is almost impossible for them to stand on the side of the court."
"How can you know that it's impossible if you haven't tried it? In this way, tell your general that as long as Shi Zheng, who has the tiger flag, is willing to surrender to the court, the court can grant him a title, and the same goes for the scholar named Zhao, who can grant him a title." Eunuch Li said.
The man thought for a while and said, "The young man can only bring his father-in-law's words, but I can't guarantee anything else."
"Just bring our words to him. Also, as long as he can win over the three division commanders of the Tiger Banner for the court, our family can also ask him for a title from the court." Eunuch Li promised.
The man looked happy when he heard this and hurriedly said, "I'm here to thank my father-in-law for your kindness."
"Don't rush to thank our family. Only when things are done can there be benefits. Otherwise, our family can only ask him for a position as general. As for whether he can be awarded a title, it depends on him." Eunuch Li glanced at the person beside him.
The man stepped forward and bowed, saying, "You must bring the words to you."
"We have told you what we should say. How to do it depends on your general's ability. Okay, go back and tell your general by the way. Even if our family returns to the capital, they will send someone to contact him." Eunuch Li issued an order to expel guests.
The man saluted again, then turned around and returned to the horse he rode, got on the horse, took the man away from Eunuch Li and others, and disappeared into the night again.
After the people left, Eunuch Li withdrew his gaze and said, "There are too many mosquitoes in this broken place. Go to the village to ask if there are any free houses. Our family wants to live in, and a group of unruly people."
Thinking that he wanted to find a house to live in and discuss with the common people in the village, he couldn't help but scold the people in the village ahead.
In other places, ordinary people will not even live there for free. Even if they don’t live in the government office, they will live in the houses of wealthy families in high-ranking families.
The entourage did not dare to delay and hurriedly ran to the village ahead.
Finally, I spent two taels of silver to get a room in a family for Eunuch Li to rest. As for the others, they could only sleep in the yard or in the carriage.
"Get the map?" Feng Changcai gave his guards instructions.
The guard took out a map from his bag and spread it on the only table in the big tent.
Li Kaiyang sat next to the table and recognized at a glance that this was a drawing of the entire Shaanxi area. Moreover, the whole picture of Shaanxi was clearer than the drawings he had seen in the past.
"This is Fushi, this is Luochuan, Wang Er, Wang Jiayin and others are in this area." Feng Changcai pointed at the Luochuan area in the map.
Jia Liu looked at the map and said, "Send a soldier to Ansai first."
