As a military institution that guards the emperor, the main function of the Jinyiwei is to "directly control the guards, patrol and arrest".
Engaged in reconnaissance, arrest, interrogation and other activities, and also participated in collecting military information and instigating rebellion against enemy generals.
There are officers and soldiers to counter the rebellion, but now it involves Jianghu forces, which are still one of the nine sects, so the Jin Yiwei must come forward to collect intelligence and assist in the encirclement and suppression.
Cao Jinxing set off immediately.
Liu Zhenyuan arranged for him to be accompanied by another person from a hundred households - the one he chose must be someone with an innocent identity, so Cao Jinxing did not refuse.
This man's name is Lu Jiaming. He has practiced Shaolin's "Bodhicitta Seal Sutra" internal energy. He has reached the fifth level. He is said to be like a clear mirror, immune to all poisons.
Even if it is an exaggeration, it is definitely a way to avoid poison, which is useful in Miao territory.
Cao Jinxing took Sun Lang and Su Yunsheng with him, and the four of them rushed to the rescue of Tongren Mansion in Guizhou.
Laer Mountain has a special location.
——"It belongs to Zhenxi Qianhusuo in the east, Ganziping Changguansi, under the jurisdiction of Huguang, Tongren in the west, Pingcha Erchangguansi, under the jurisdiction of Guizhou, and Sichuan Youyang in the north. It covers a vast area of hundreds of miles."
Located on the border of three provinces.
The chief official in the data is the chieftain, who is under the jurisdiction of native officials. To deal with the ethnic minorities in the southwest, the Ming court used the method of using barbarians to control barbarians.
Now the officers and soldiers are stationed in Tongren Mansion, preparing to use this as a basis to sweep across La'er Mountain. However, they have been repeatedly interfered by people from the martial arts world, and they have to rush over to support.
Cao Jinxing and four others rode out of Beijing.
Not far from Guandao Road, I suddenly saw a horse riding in a pavilion on the roadside. A single person and a horse were waiting there.
Cao Jinxing took a look and saw that the person on the horse was dressed in purple and had long hair tied into a ponytail. He changed his previous weak appearance and had a heroic appearance. It was Huang Fanling.
"grown ups."
Her voice was soft, and although the volume was not loud, it was clearly heard in her ears.
Cao Jinxing thought for a while, then turned around and said to the other three people: "You go first, I will catch up later."
"yes."
The other three rode horses at a fast pace.
Sun Lang and Su Yunsheng had never seen this woman before and were a little curious about her identity. Lu Jiaming smiled secretly, raised his hand and shouted:
"Cousin! I'm leaving first!"
After saying that, while everyone was stunned, he waved his riding whip and rushed to the front.
"..."
Cao Jinxing's eyes twitched.
There is actually such a relationship...
He rode to the pavilion and said, "Miss Huang, is something wrong?"
"I'm here to see my cousin off."
Huang Fanling said this, but her eyes were always looking at Cao Jinxing.
She didn't even bother to look at Lu Jiaming.
Cao Jinxing had a headache.
Huang Fanling covered her mouth and chuckled: "My lord, you don't have to be like this. I have been invited to banquets several times at home, but my lord has declined them all. Now that I am about to go to the Miao border where poison is rampant, Fang Ling is really worried, so I have something to give as a gift."
She took off a dark green jade gourd from her waist and said, "This is the medicinal wine I made. It is useful against poisonous insects. Please don't refuse."
The medicinal wine of the medical immortal disciple is specially used to deal with poisonous insects. Cao Jinxing is lying if he says he doesn't want it, but...
Cao Jinxing said seriously: "Miss Huang, I saved you because Xie Anduo gave me a [Heavenly King Pill], and I also wanted to facilitate the transaction of [Good Fortune Pill] in the future... You don't have to take it to heart."
"Um."
Huang Fanling nodded: "I know."
"That's good."
Cao Jinxing breathed a sigh of relief: "I was busy before and didn't have time to attend the banquet. I'll take this jug of wine as a thank you gift. I'll accept it. You don't have to be so polite in the future. I have official business, so I'll go ahead and say goodbye."
Cao Jinxing clasped his fists.
Then he turned the horse's head and galloped wildly.
Huang Fanling looked at his back, dismounted and paused for a long time, took out a painting from the horse and slowly opened it.
In the painting, a crescent moon hangs high, a waterfall flows, and a man stands on the edge of the cliff holding a knife, wearing a dazzling flying fish suit. The scenery in the painting is complete, except for the human face, which is missing only the facial features.
She laid the painting flat on the stone table in the pavilion, took out the brush, put it to her mouth, licked it gently, and added a nose and mouth to the person in the painting.
Lifelike!
Huang Fanling was very satisfied with the painting and said with a smile: "It's just a bit fierce..."
at this time.
Two ghost guards appeared behind him and knelt down on one knee: "Miss, the ghost has been caught. The head of the family said he will listen to your arrangements."
"The doctor is kind-hearted, but he is not ambitious to save the wolf."
Huang Fanling admired the painting and said without looking back: "The Analects of Confucius says: Repay grievance with straightness, repay kindness with kindness. Tell Father, don't worry about me, just do whatever you want."
"yes!"
The two ghost guards are about to leave.
"etc."
Huang Fanling called them to stop.
Two ghost guards: "What are the orders from the eldest lady?"
Huang Fanling asked: "Am I beautiful?"
"..."
The two ghost guards were stunned, and it took them a long time to react. Their faces turned red and they said, "The eldest lady is beautiful and fragrant!"
"That……"
Huang Fanling murmured in a low voice: "...Why did he turn a blind eye?"
…
The journey from the capital to Tongren Mansion was long, so the four of them worked hard and it took ten days.
The only gain was that Lu Jiaming successfully integrated into the small group. He was born into a wealthy family, but he was not pampered. Traveling long distances was very tiring, but he had no complaints.
The night of the tenth day.
The four of them checked into Tongren Mansion Inn and prepared to rest for a night and recharge their batteries before heading to Laer Mountain tomorrow to join the army.
After a simple meal, Cao Jinxing called the postman to ask about the situation here.
After all, ten days have passed, and there may be something unexpected. In ancient times, there were no mobile phones, so we couldn't update the news in real time, so we could only ask more.
The postman was an old man in his sixties with a wrinkled face. As soon as he entered the door, he was startled when he saw four people dressed in brocade clothes and waiting for him.
He thought that he had not served him well and had made Shangguan angry, so he trembled.
Su Yunsheng hurriedly said: "Don't panic, my master wants to ask you a few words.
"yes."
The old postman took a breath: "Excuse me, sir. I will tell you everything I know."
Cao Jinxing said: "The Miao people rebelled and the government troops encircled and suppressed them. What changes have occurred recently? Have they invaded La'er Mountain?"
"No……"
The postman sighed: "... I don't know what means that group of thieves used to create a large area of highly toxic miasma outside La'er Mountain. The mountains are high and densely forested, making it difficult to enter the mountain. Now it is even more difficult to advance.
...I heard that a few days ago, Master Shi Wanbo, the deputy chief censor on the left, mobilized troops to attack, resulting in heavy casualties. Alas..."
"Wan Boring..."
Cao Jinxing frowned, was he the official from the imperial court who was sent to suppress the people before?
Sounds a bit familiar.
Since it was not captured, it meant that it was frozen. Cao Jinxing put it aside for the time being and asked another question: "What is the reason for this rebellion?"
"this……"
The postman was speechless and looked at him carefully: "It is said that the Miao people caused trouble and attacked the government office..."
"I want to hear the truth."
Cao Jinxing lifted his robe and revealed the sign of Beizhen Fusi: "Even if you don't recognize Feiyu Sui, you should have heard of Beizhen Fusi. I hope you are fine. Please speak up."
"Beizhen Fusi..."
The old postman's eyes were dim, and he was surprised when he heard the name. He looked at the brand carefully, and then he believed it. He relaxed a little and began to tell the reason...
