"Mo Rigen, the Han team in front seems to be the people of the Tiger Flag." A Mongolian said looking at the cavalry team of Huang Hong and others in the distance.

The breastplate of the Tiger-Character Banner is extremely conspicuous, and many Mongolians know it. Especially after the Hatan tribe was destroyed, most people in Tumut know that the Tiger-Character Banner has a cavalry team wearing black armor.

Morigen is the ten-man commander of this sentinel cavalry and a famous marksman among the Kankantada tribe.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and watched the Han cavalry in the distance gradually move away from him. He said in a calm tone: "In front of us is the Ming Kingdom's border fortress. Even if we take action, we can't stop these people. Besides, we are

Those who came to monitor the Tiger Flag convoy have no need to get entangled with such a cavalry."

The Mongolian cavalry on the side looked at Huang Hong and others who were far away, and said: "Okay, let them go first. If Temur's team is here, these Han people will never be able to return to their Ming Dynasty."

Temur was from another group of sentinels who went to the grassland over Zhangjiakou.

In the distance, Huang Hong and his party had been alert to the Mongols, preparing for a sudden attack by the Mongols.

But even after walking far away, he didn't see the Mongols catching up, which made Huang Hong relieved.

He was not afraid of these Mongols, but it was more important to go back to Lingqiu to send the news back at this time. There was no need to waste time fighting these Mongols.

"Huangtou, it seems that these Mongolians have no intention of attacking us." Wang Ji said to Huang Hong.

Huang Hong said without looking back: "Don't worry about them, let's hurry up and get to Xinpingbao before dark."

After dark, the city gates will be closed, especially the gates of the side fortresses. The city gates will be closed almost as soon as it gets dark. When the city gates are opened again, they can only be opened after dawn the next day.

Seeing that it was about to get dark, Huang Hong arrived at Xinpingbao in time.

He took the bronze medal proving his identity and handed it to the shopkeeper of Tiger Flag's shop in Xinpingbao. The group stayed in the shop that night.

As soon as the fort gate opened the next day, a group of them left Xinping Fort and rushed towards Lingqiu.

However, this time when they left Xinpingbao, there was an additional tiger-character flag in the team, which was carried on Wang Ji's back.

The man and two horses galloping on the official road of Datong were extremely conspicuous, but with the tiger-character flag there, no one dared to provoke him along the way.

Not only that, because there was a mule and horse bank set up by the Tiger Character Banner on the road, Huang Hong and others were much more relaxed than traveling on the grassland.

After returning to Lingqiu, Huang Hong went all the way to Xujiazhuang.

The horse was handed over to the subordinates who came back with him, and he staggered to see Liu Heng alone.

After traveling such a long distance on horseback, the skin on my thighs was worn out, making me walk very strangely.

Liu Heng usually lives in a security room in Xujiazhuang. Outside is a separate courtyard guarded by soldiers.

Huang Hong came to the door of the small courtyard and said to the soldiers guarding the door: "This is my identity card. Please tell me that Huang Hong of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau wants to see the boss."

The ID badge is a bronze plate with personal information on it.

The soldier took the bronze medal, glanced at it, returned it to Huang Hong, and said at the same time: "You wait here, I will go in and report."

After saying that, the soldier turned around and walked towards the yard.

There were two soldiers on guard outside the courtyard gate. One soldier walked into the courtyard, and the other soldier was still guarding the door. They did not let Huang Hong in because he was from the Foreign Intelligence Bureau.

.

Not long after, the soldier who went in to report came out of the yard, and at the same time another person came over with him.

"Deputy Director Huang." The visitor greeted Huang Hong.

"Guard Zhao." Huang Hong smiled and cupped his hands.

Zhao Wu said: "The boss is working inside, you can come with me!"

Huang Hong nodded and followed Zhao Wu into the courtyard.

When they came to the door of the house on the inner side of the yard, there were still two soldiers standing guard. Because of Zhao Wu's leadership, Huang Hong was not stopped outside this time.

Entering the signing room, Huang Hong immediately saluted and said: "Senior Huang Hong, please see the boss."

"Okay, no need to be polite." Liu Heng came out from behind the desk, put his hand on Huang Hong's wrist, and said at the same time, "I saw that you were unsteady when you first came in. It shows that you have suffered a lot along the way. Sit down quickly.

Down."

With that said, he personally helped Huang Hong sit on the bench in the signing room.

Then he picked up the teapot on the stove, poured some hot water into the teapot, and handed it to Huang Hong.

"Thank you, Master." Huang Hong took the tea vat and thanked him, then said immediately, "This subordinate is coming back from the grassland and has something important to report."

Liu Heng stood in front of the desk and said: "I guessed that there was something important as soon as you came back, otherwise you, the deputy director of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau, would not have come back in person, so tell me!"

Huang Hong put the teapot on his lap and said: "After receiving the news, Su Nang sent several sentries to the grasslands outside Datong and Zhangjiakou to monitor the convoy of our tiger-character flag and prepare to attack our tiger-character flag.

Zi Qi sent the convoy to the grassland to take action."

Hearing this, Liu Heng frowned slightly, then looked at Zhao Wu and said, "Go to the Logistics Bureau and find Mr. Zhao."

"Yes." Zhao Wu agreed, turned around and left the signing room.

Liu Heng asked Huang Hong again: "Is the news reliable?"

"The news came from the Bushitu tent, and when my subordinates came back, they saw a group of Mongolians on the grassland outside Xinping Fort. They were not many in number, almost the size of a Mongolian sentry and cavalry team."

Huang Hong said.

After speaking, he looked at Liu Heng.

Liu Heng rubbed his chin with his hand.

He was different from the Ming Dynasty people of this era. Others considered long beards to be beautiful, but he had a dark complexion and was beardless. As long as his beard grew a little, he would shave it off with a razor.

Because of this, there are almost no people with long beards in the upper echelons of the Tiger Flag, and all of them shave their beards cleanly. This also applies to the several military camps below, where few people have long beards.

"Master, we'd better not send any more convoys to the grasslands during these days. Su Nang has assembled nearly ten thousand troops and has now besieged our fortress in Dahei River." Huang Hong said.

It would be too easy for the tens of thousands of Mongolian troops to pack up a convoy carrying a tiger-shaped flag. He was worried that the convoy would be targeted by Su Nang's Mongolian army on the grassland, so he hurried back to deliver the message.

Liu Heng said: "Because of the baggage, our Tiger Flag convoy cannot go to Tumut for the time being. However, we have our convoy over at Kebaicheng in the Fifth Division of Khalkha."

After the proceeds from sea trade were used to build ships in Da Yuan Island, the smuggling business on the grassland became Tiger Flag's largest source of income.

"Master, can you not send the convoy to the grassland for the time being?" Huang Hong looked at Liu Heng with hopeful eyes.

Liu Heng shook his head and said: "This is impossible. You have to know that the daily consumption of several soldier camps requires a lot of silver. Once the smuggling with the grassland is cut off, the situation of several soldier camps will be very difficult.
