Chapter 23 Ministry

In the early morning of the next day, the people in the courtyard became busy.

The cavalry packed up essential weapons, food and other items in the front yard. Lei Yuan arranged bundles of bamboo slips or silk cloth in one place and tied them tightly with ropes. These are his collections over the years. The bamboo slips are some books, and the silk cloth is a map he drew himself. The books are mainly military books, and the map mainly depicts the dangerous places in various parts of the Jianghuai River, which was the result of years of traveling around the mountains and rivers in the past; some originated from memories of another life. Lei Yuan wrote them carefully on the pictures so that he would not forget them.

Apart from this, he had no personal objects that were particularly worthy of cherishing. After strapping firmly in a few seconds, he stood in front of the door of the main room in the backyard, watched the old servant and maid come in and out, and moved out the scattered items left by his mother one by one and placed them under the eaves.

Lei Yuan's mother's relics were originally quite a lot, but when he was dismissing the servants and maids, he distributed most of them. After taking off the clothes, he sorted them out and sealed the valuables back to Lei Xu's warehouse. What are left now are fragmented items such as clothes, jewelry, etc., which may not be of any value. It is just a thought to put them in the house. Lei Yuan saw a few small knives and swords in it, which were made by his mother for Lei Yuan when he was young. Why do you have to carry these things?

"It's all burned." Lei Yuan sighed and turned around and went out.

The chapels got up earlier, and the luggage they packed up in the courtyard.

Wang Yan reported: "Fan Hong has been asked to find a few cars."

Lei Yuan nodded.

After a while, Fan Hong came back with two ox carts, and Xin Bin was also here with him.

In addition to being unable to actually lead troops to fight, Xin Bin cares about all matters. In terms of status, in the entire Huainan heroes' system, he is only inferior to a few people. More importantly, Lei Yuan learned yesterday that only Xin Bin and two personal guard leaders were in charge of Lei Xu's condition from beginning to end, so this person can be called the confidant of his heart.

Lei Yuan did not dare to ignore it, so he hurriedly walked out of the hospital to greet him: "Mr. Xin!"

Xin Bin's face was pale and with two dark circles. In recent days, Lei Xu's condition worsened, and he himself was busy organizing the evacuation. Heavy psychological pressure and complicated affairs have tortured him to exhaustion. At this time, he didn't care about politeness. Xin Bin bowed to Lei Yuan briefly: "Little Langjun, the master of the Sect wanted to explain to you yesterday."

"Yes, I know everything." Lei Yuan's tone slightly heavier.

Xin Bin looked at Lei Yuan with a normal expression and whispered: "Since the day before yesterday, the sect leader's condition deteriorated rapidly, and he even felt drowsy. Because this matter is of great importance, we have to hide the news closely. Young man, you should know that the name of Jianghuai Haoyou is Alliance, and there are hidden tides below it, so please do not disclose it, just do everything as usual."

"Mr. Xin, please rest assured, I know the importance of it." Lei Yuan agreed solemnly.

"Okay, let's talk about the serious business." Xin Bin nodded and said, "Since the sect leader decided to lead the people to retreat over mountains and over, although the managers who were actually in charge of the affairs tried their best, they still felt that they were often not up to par. I discussed with several colleagues. Since the young man is back, I can help share some of the burden."

"What do I need to do?"

"The team where the sect leader is located will set off today and take away a group of people with the team. There are several other parts, which will also be set off today. I would like to ask the young man to come forward and be responsible for managing one of them." Xin Bin said.

"I've been idle for many years and suddenly took on this heavy responsibility..." Lei Yuan thought for a while: "This arrangement will not cause trouble to Mr. Xin, right?"

"You little husband, don't worry." Xin Bin laughed: "Deng Tong suffered yesterday, and everyone else saw it. Therefore, this arrangement is appropriate."

Thunder rain was speechless for a moment. Is the father's determination to be apart from his second son, and then everything that was deprived of was returned? This is really like the vulgar novel plots in previous lives.

Xin Bin took a step closer and said, "The Sect Master also told me that a few days ago, Xiao Langjun led a cavalry team to break through thousands of troops and headed straight to Cao Gong's own formation, causing a big trouble. So Cao Gong was furious and sent an order to kill the officer in charge of the scout, slowed down the speed of the march, and ordered the guards to be put in close defense along the way. Xiao Langjun had such talent and courage, so he could not bear any responsibility."

Lei Yuan was a little surprised. He really didn't expect Lei Xu to report the matter to Xin Bin. He was a little relieved and a little uncomfortable: "It's just a reckless move, not worth mentioning."

"Disturbating tens of thousands of people with dozens of cavalry is a heroic act that I have never seen in my life, and I can't even imagine. If such an amazing act is not worth mentioning, then I don't know what else in the world is worth mentioning." Xin Bin shook his head slightly. He held his head straight, tidied up his sleeves, and bowed deeply to Lei Yuan: "Maybe all of us have miscalculated the young man before. But at this time, I hope you can do your best to the clan and tens of thousands of people."

"I dare not take it." Lei Yuan avoided: "At this time, we can only work together; Xin Gong had his own will, and Lei Yuan followed.

"Very good, then that's all. "Xin Bin waved to exchange for someone from the escort: "This is my subordinate, Zhou Hu from Nanyang. He will assist Xiao Langjun in the subsequent affairs. If I have something else, I won't delay it."

Xin Bin hurried away, Lei Yuan sent him a few steps, and then turned back.

Lei Yuan suddenly felt a little excited. The vulgar novel plot actually happened, and he finally gained the long-awaited authority. Even if the power was pitiful, even at this moment, that little bit of authority meant a huge danger and a huge responsibility. Xin Bin's praise made Lei Yuan feel a little ashamed. He didn't feel that he had really done a heroic move. That attack on Cao's army was just a military adventure in Lei Yuan's view. But in the past few days, he first felt the respect of his entourage for him, and then was praised by Lei Xu and Xin Bin continuously, which made him feel a little happy. He strongly felt that the long-term hiddenness of the past could be over, and he could take on more responsibilities in this world and make a difference.

But he didn't know what to do for a moment. Because he had the knowledge that ordinary people did not have, he understood even more that the chaotic times of the late Han Dynasty were about to enter a new stage, and the heroes who used the world as the chess game had gradually formed a staggering momentum and there would be no room for new chess players to display. So, can he calm down and make a chess piece? Even if he wanted to make a chess piece, Lei Yuan hoped to be a chess piece that was loyal to his heart's thoughts, but what did he hope to do and achieve in this chass world? He was far from figuring out.

He realized his confusion, but at the same time he enjoyed this confusion. His future was full of unknowns, and he couldn't figure out what it was. As long as he smashed all obstacles and kept going, there would always be times to figure it out. Lei Yuan clenched his fists hard and tried his best to control his excitement, because Zhou Hu, the next subordinate who was left by Xin Bin, had bowed to him slightly.

Zhou Hu is a scholar in his thirties with a long face, thin eyes, and a little hooked nose. He was wearing a wrinkled robe, a stack of slabs with his right elbow, and no crown. His hair and beard were all messy, as if he hadn't had a good rest for a long time.

Lei Yuan stood in front of him and looked at him up and down. Zhou Hu felt a little uncomfortable when Lei Yuan saw him, bent over and smiled with a pleasing smile.

"Mr. Zhou?"

“Yes, yes.”

"Mr. Zhou, at this time, I will not be pretentious with you. Since Mr. Xin has his order, can he have a certificate for me?"

"Yes, yes." Zhou Hu raised his hand and pulled it into his sleeve, but the plates clamped under his elbow fell to the ground. He quickly bowed to pick it up, and the wooden signs in his sleeve fell down again.

Lei Yuan did not urge him, and patiently waited for Zhou Hu to clean up and present the wooden sign with both hands.

The wooden sign was dark and had a few words embedded in gold and copper. This thing is the so-called talisman. Although it is not as formal as the copper tiger talisman in the army, it is quite good. Lei Yuan held it in his hand and threw it away. As Lei Xu's second son, this was the first time he had come into contact with talisman in many years. The degree to which he had not received attention before can be seen.

"You can keep this thing." Lei Yuan handed over the order to Guo Jing and continued to ask Zhou Hu: "What is the situation with the subordinates who handed it to me? Where is it now?"

Zhou Hu lowered his head, flipped through the stack of papers, and pulled out one: "Little Langjun, this group is expected to be followed by the sect leader's team. According to the initial estimate, there were about 2,500 people. Among them, there were nearly 100 tribes to which the clan belonged, 300 servants and slaves; 145 households and about 1,000 people; and there were two powerful families who were kind to us, namely the Fan family in Anfeng, Lujiang, the Huang family in Bo'an, Runan, about 600 people in Fan family, and about 400 people in Huang family... These totaled 2,500 people. However, in the past few days, more and more people have fled to the camp to surrender, so you need to bring an extra four or five hundred people."

"One hundred divisions, three hundred servants, three hundred slaves, one thousand subordinates, more than one thousand powerful people, hundreds of scattered people..." Lei Yuan stretched out his right fist, reported one item, and straightened his finger: "But that's the case?"

Zhou Hu replied: "That's right, it's right."

Lei Yuan turned to the Fan brothers standing by and said, "Lujiang Anfeng Fan family is your own family, right?"

Fan Hong smiled and said, "The head of the Fan family is named Fan Shang, and he is our cousin."

Lei Yuanluo nodded and continued to ask Zhou Hu: "Are these people now stationed in a concentrated manner or scattered everywhere? Where are they stationed in a concentrated manner? Where are they? If they are scattered in a concentrated manner, where are they?"

Zhou Hu, who looked like a mediocre person, was flinched in his face, but at this moment he was flipping the papers and rewarded him, but he was as confident as his words. He did not hesitate: "The army was on standby in the village on the east side, guarding food, tents, quilts, flags, chariots and horses and other supplies. Most of the servants and slaves belonging to the Lei family were concentrated near Qiaojiaao at the foot of the mountain, divided into six places to gather, waiting for orders, and they could set off at any time. The guests were waiting for the southern pass in advance. Two days ago, we set up a transfer site at the mountain pass. The Fan and Huang clans did not need our arrangements. They both had houses in the camp and gathered their own tribes. As for the scattered people, the young man sent people out to see them, and they could just take them away if they pleased them."

"I understand..." Lei Yuan thought about it and ordered Wang Yan: "Uncle Yan, stay, load all our own things into the car. The rest of the people will be finished as soon as possible. Let's go to the east village first and meet up with the army."

He turned to Zhou Hu and said politely: "Please bother Mr. Zhou and go with me."
