Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 115 Yang Tianbao

Liu Hongjian took the plaque and recognized it as a genuine Jinyiwei token after only one glance, and immediately got up to support Lao Bi.

"Get up, old Bi."

Although he is already an extremely human minister, it always makes him feel uncomfortable when a grandfather-level old man kneels down to him, the evil old society.

"I saw you for the first time, and countless thoughts flashed through my mind. To be honest, I was suspicious just now. I'm really ashamed, ashamed!"

"Hahaha, I'm in the enemy camp, surrounded by enemies, I'm used to pretending to be crazy and foolish on weekdays, Commander-in-Chief, don't blame me."

Bi Zigong also hurriedly apologized. When Li Zicheng captured Shanxi, he was only a seventh-rank official in Taiyuan Mansion.

Before the city was destroyed, all the officials of Taiyuan Mansion fled and disappeared without a trace. Li Zicheng asked him to take up the post of magistrate. In fact, Lao Bi refused at the beginning.

The salary of eating the king cannot bear the worries of the king, and he has to work for the thieves. However, the Ming Dynasty has iron laws, and officials have the duty of guarding the city. No matter what the reason is, anyone who escapes is a capital offense.

Although Lao Bi didn't want to sacrifice his life for Li Zicheng, he didn't want to die, so he had no choice but to make false claims with these illiterate bandits while secretly writing to Daming, hoping to continue to serve Daming.

Just five months ago, he finally got the consent of Liang Yang, the commander of the Jinyiwei, and became the oldest hundred household officer of the Jinyiwei, responsible for collecting information on the enemy-occupied areas for Daming.

Since Liu Hongjian left Beijing, he has been fighting everywhere. Even if Jin Yiwei has the latest news, he can't find anyone. Hearing about Lao Bi's experience, Liu Hongjian is also very sad.

"My lord, the old man once said that he would give the commander a big gift, and this big gift is the Datong Mansion in the northeast!"

With calm eyes, Lao Bi said calmly that at his age, he had already lost interest in making contributions. Before Liu Hongjian could express his opinion, Wei Penghong stood up beside him with a bang.

"Master Bi, are you serious?"

Wei Penghong has been confronting Liu Zongmin of Datong Mansion for nearly a year. Datong and Xuan Mansion have similar military strength, and both have been fighting against Manchu and Mongolian all year round, and their defenses are extremely strong.

Wei Penghong used various methods to lure Liu Zongmin to fight, but Liu Zongmin saw through all of them. This time Liu Hongjian only brought less than a thousand soldiers. If he can really bring down Datong Mansion, he must have made great contributions.

A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. Although he is now the chief soldier, but I heard that the court is now using generals, and maybe he can be a baron.

"Hehe, how can I lie at this old age!" Old Bi stroked his gray beard.

"Old Bi, don't be so condescending, I'm really waiting for the official to ask you to tell me! Does the imperial cook still want it?" Liu Hongjian said, seeing this old Bi pretending to be coercive, pretending to be slightly angry.

Although this old Bi is not very interested in fame and fortune, he is a foodie. Seeing the commander, he hurriedly became solemn.

"This old man has a nephew named Bi Yuntao, who had been farming outside the Datong Mansion, but was caught by that Liu Zongmin and turned into a thief. The old man couldn't bear it, so he sent a letter of divorce to that Liu Zongmin.

I didn't have any hope at all, I only wished that Liu Zongmin would let my nephew go home for the sake of his service for Dashun, who would have thought that this fellow would directly give my nephew a job with a hundred households.

My nephew has no skills and doesn't like killing. He kept writing to the old man saying that he wanted to go home and farm. But Liu Zongmin saw that my nephew was not only strong but also literate. I appointed Deputy Qianhu to guard the city gates for him!well! "

Having said that, Lao Bi sighed.

People don't like to kill people, they like to grow beans in the pastoral life at the foot of Nanshan Mountain, what a wonderful person, why are you, Liu Zongmin, so unreasonable, isn't this the dream of other people in QJ?

"The old man will write a secret letter to explain the situation here. I believe that kid will be very happy to hear the news."

Liu Hongjian was overjoyed, but then felt something was wrong.

"Old Bi, Liu Zongmin must have known about the big commotion here today. Datong Mansion must have been under martial law. How could you send this letter in? If someone notices it, wouldn't it harm your nephew? "

"Hahaha, thank you for your concern, my lord. This Taiyuan Mansion is also well-defended. The old man has communicated with Mr. Liang, and we have contact almost every month!"

"Don't pretend, speak up!" Liu Hongjian is impatient, and he can't stand others saying half of what they say, and seeing Lao Bi squinting his eyes and starting to pretend to be thirteen, Liu Hongjian reminded him by knocking on the table with his wine cup.

"Don't worry, my lord. My nephew is contacted by a boy named Yang Tianbao who is responsible for delivering letters. This boy is very skilled and very clever. He is very familiar with many guards in Datong and Taiyuan."

Although Lao Bi didn't know what it meant to pretend to be coercive, he still thought that the Commander was really anxious, so he took a sip of wine and said with a sticky mouth.

It is unknown who Yang Tianbao's parents are, only that this son has been begging for food in Taiyuan Mansion since he was a child, but in these years, everyone is poor, and little Tianbao is always homeless for a day and still starving to death.

Lao Bi looked at him pitifully, and sometimes bought him a pancake to eat, but later he heard that he was accepted by a juggling old boy, and disappeared without a trace.

It wasn't until Yang Tianbao suddenly came to this Taiyuan Mansion the year before last that Lao Bi learned that his master's family was murdered by strong people, and only he escaped from the clutches with his well-trained skills.

This person has a perverted nature, and he doesn't want to be a servant to those officials and lords. He just idles around and has no food, so he becomes a helper. The so-called helper is to run errands for others, deliver a letter or something.

The customers were all big-headed soldiers stationed near Taiyuan and Datong Mansions. After making money, Yang Tianbao did not forget Lao Bi who had helped him, and would give Lao Bi a jar of wine if he had nothing to do.

Speaking of this son, Lao Bi also had a look of relief.

"Well, I don't like to fight and kill, but God doesn't follow people's wishes, I would rather be a dog of peace than a troubled world!"

Liu Hongjian paused and continued.

"Now is the time for employing people. I wonder what kind of heart this Yang Tianbao has?" Liu Hongjian valued the heart when employing people. If you have a bad heart, no matter how talented you are, you must be crooked.

"Well, this kid has been looked down upon since he was a child, even his juggling master beat and scolded him at every turn in order to train him to be a tool for making money, so that he was very suspicious, and he didn't trust anyone except the old man.

Actually, he still has a good heart, but..."

Hearing this, Liu Hongjian immediately got a general impression of Yang Tianbao in his mind, he was a poor child who was deceived, kidnapped and miserable, and he was an orphan. Isn't this his previous life?
"Well, I understand, so let's write the letter. The army has been tired all day and needs to rest. Since it is a surprise attack, the date should be set at Chou tomorrow night!
Master Wei, the battle is imminent, except for the necessary soldiers on duty, go back and let the soldiers have a good rest! "

"Yes, my lord!"

"promise!"
