Zhu Fang received the imperial edict from Lao Zhu and said that he had sent Fei Ju over.
He was a little nervous: Could it be that someone was gossiping in his father's ears, so his father sent someone down to check?
I heard that Fei Ju likes women, so he should first eat and drink well, entertain Fei Ju with beautiful women, and then take a closer look at it.
When Fei Ju arrived in Xi'an, he had been away from Yingtian for more than a month. The road was dusty and he couldn't eat well or sleep well. Seeing that Zhu Xi had prepared a banquet and accompanied by beautiful women, he naturally smiled and handed over his hand.
"Your Highness is truly considerate of your ministers."
Zhu Qing said: "This place is severely cold and arid, and it is better than the natural resources and the rich people. Master Fei will make do with it."
Fei Ju hurriedly held up his hands: "Oh, Your Highness is too polite."
Then the two of them sat down to drink and eat meat, having a great time.
Seeing that Fei Ju had almost finished drinking, Zhu Fang asked, "Master Fei is here this time..."
Fei Ju said: "The emperor said that he wanted to recruit Wang Baobao first, and asked the minister to lobby. Your Highness knows that the minister is a rough man, and how could he make such talk. But the emperor has assigned the job, and the minister has to do it.
Come here and think of a solution."
Zhu Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, that's it. That Wang Baobao is hiding on the grassland, and no one can be seen. Lan Yu has been looking for him for a long time."
When Fei Ju heard this, he scratched his head and said, "This is really troublesome. Wei Chen made a sure deal with the emperor."
Zhu Xi smiled and poured Fei Ju a glass of wine: "If you can't find the blue jade, Master Fei may not be able to find it. These things sometimes depend on luck."
Fei Ju felt that these words spoke to his heart, and he nodded quickly: "Isn't it true? What His Highness said makes so much sense."
Zhu Ming got Fei Ju another glass of wine: "Master Fei, if you plan to go out to search, it's best to set off as soon as possible, as the day after tomorrow will get colder. The wind is strong on the grassland."
Fei Ju: "Okay, Wei Chen will take the people out tomorrow."
Zhu Fang thought to himself: I don't care whether you can find Wang Baobao or not. Anyway, don't wander around the palace and Xi'an city all the time. In case you see something wrong, or hear something from Zhou Bin and others.
, if you go back and file a complaint against me, you will be in trouble.
Fei Ju was so drunk that he didn't get up until three o'clock in the morning the next day. Then he took more than fifty guards given to him by Lao Zhu and walked out of the city gate and headed northwest.
Fei Ju was originally from Huaixi. He had fought in places like Jiangxi and Jiangsu before and had never seen the ice and snow in the north.
Only now did he know what the so-called bitter cold on the frontier meant.
Thousands of miles are dry and yellow, and there is a chill.
I walked for miles without seeing any living things.
The wind mixed with ice particles hit my face, which was as painful as a knife.
The thick cotton-padded jacket on my body felt as thin as paper and could not block the wind at all.
A guard whispered: "Master Fei, there are dark clouds ahead, and it seems that the weather will get worse and worse. Why don't we go back first."
The first time he came out, he had to go back after only walking a few steps. Fei Ju felt it was too shameful.
He bit the bullet and said: "We are all Ming Dynasty warriors. We are afraid of wind or bad weather. Let me continue walking."
As a result, the further we walked, the darker it became and the wind became stronger.
It had only been half a cup of tea since I spoke just now, and now I couldn't even see my fingers, and the strong wind was blowing, making people unable to stand still.
The guards all said, "Sir, let's go back. If we continue like this, we may have to wait for others to come find us."
"Yes, sir. There is no rush to find Wang Baobao today."
Fei Ju saw that it was important to save his life: "Listen to my order and return the way you came."
This group of people had no experience at all. They said they were going back the same way, but they couldn't even identify the direction, so they got lost smoothly...
A group of people did not dare to move or stop, spinning in the wind.
They vaguely saw a dark shadow walking towards them in the strong wind. There were quite a lot of people, so Fei Ju hurriedly rushed over with them.
If you encounter a living creature here, you have a higher chance of being a Mongolian.
Anyway, no matter what it is, catch it first and then talk about it.
When the other party saw them rushing towards them, they turned around and ran away without hesitation.
Fei Ju became more and more certain that it was a Mongolian, and he was afraid that it was Wang Baobao, so he did not dare to shoot an arrow and hurt the opponent.
After all, Lao Zhu meant to recruit surrender first.
They pursued them in hot pursuit, and when the wind died down and the sky became clear again, they found themselves surrounded.
They were surrounded when they were surrounded, but those who stared at them viciously and murderously turned out to be Ming soldiers wearing armor and holding wild goose feather knives.
Damn, the flood really washed away the Dragon King Temple. Fortunately, I didn’t shoot any arrows just now.
The leader on the horse screamed strangely: "Master Fei?! Why are you here? Aren't you shutting up in Yingtian and thinking about your mistakes?"
Fei Ju took a closer look: Mom, isn't this that guy Lan Yu?
Okay, being caught by Lan Yu is better than being caught by Wolf and Wang Baobao.
Lan Yu took them back to the military camp.
Fei Ju sat down and explained the cause and effect.
Lan Yu said: "Go back, don't waste time, you can't find them. Wang Baobao's nose is sharper than a dog. If there is any trouble, he will run away. And it will snow soon, and you are not familiar with the grassland. It is easy to
get lost."
Fei Ju shook his head: "That's not possible. I promised the emperor."
Lan Yu persuaded her earnestly: "You should go back first and come back next spring."
Although Shaanxi Province has 32 guard posts under its command, no guard post wants to support more than 30 people in vain.
Because both men and horses need to eat and drink.
Even he dared to be so willful because he was sent by Lao Zhu to fight the Mongols, so he had extra military pay, and Zhu Bai regularly sent him food through the official tooth bureau.
He himself only has five to six hundred people, so dragging along Fei Ju's group of more than thirty people would be like carrying a big burden, which would be quite a burden.
Fei Ju said: "It takes three months to go back and forth, and spring will start in three months. Why not wait here for three months?"
Just kidding, more than thirty people traveled more than a thousand miles, and the expenses on the road were free of charge.
It's definitely not possible to spend so much money and accomplish nothing.
Lan Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: Tsk, it's troublesome, and I'm still entangled with him.
Fei Ju said: "Hey, you don't have to worry. It's not like the dozens of us won't work. If there's a fight with the Mongols, won't we also be helpers?"
Lan Yu couldn't put it bluntly: You have more than thirty people who have not been trained. In fact, you really can't help us. It will only drag us down.
Fei Ju stayed at Lan Yu's place to eat and drink. After ten days of hanging around, he finished all the mutton and wolf meat that Lan Yu had saved.
Lan Yu's deputy general whispered to Lan Yu quietly: "Continuing like this is not an option. If we wait another three months, we will all be destitute by him."
Lan Yu: "It's okay, we will dump him tonight."
Lieutenant General: "General, didn't you say we should only attack but not escape?"
Lan Yu grinned: "The King of Xiang told me that this is not running away, but turning around and running behind."
Lieutenant General: ...Which one of you is the master?
Lan Yu ordered the soldiers to break camp at night, saying that they were going to attack and not to make any sound.
His soldiers were well-trained and had experienced hundreds of battles. In the darkness where they couldn't see their fingers, it took less than half an hour from giving the order to packing up their things and leaving. Then they silently ran towards the northeast.
