Chapter 163 Meeting Sun Yuanhua on the Road

"Let's go out of the city now. You don't need to stay here." After entering Zhangjiakou, Li Xin didn't dare to neglect, and quickly ordered Zhang Wu and fifty guards to break away from the caravan and run towards the south gate. If someone recognizes him here, other people will recognize him too, such as the Seven Great Aristocratic Families. Although these guys have temporarily surrendered under their own name in a short period of time, who knows if there will be any changes in them? What other thoughts.Li Xin is also the safety of the [-] troops. Although he is undoubtedly high-strength, he is not willing to take risks.

Although Zhang Wu didn't know why, he didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly followed behind Li Xin, and rushed towards the south gate with fifty guards.Fortunately Zhangjiakou is not big, Li Xin rushed out of Zhangjiakou in just one bag of cigarettes, walking on the official road from Zhangjiakou to Xuanfu.

"Mr. Mu is in front of you. Hou Shilu has been waiting for Mr. Mu for a long time." While running, there was a sound of hoofbeats from behind. Li Xin didn't plan to turn back at first, but when the other party said that he was Hou Shilu, he knew that the other party recognized him. In desperation, he had no choice but to stop.

"Old general, why are you chasing students?" Li Xin looked back, only to see a veteran wearing a brocade robe and leading a few servants galloping towards him on horseback. Beside him was Hou, who had met Li Xin once. Arch pole.There was a bitter smile at the moment, knowing that Hou Gongji must have said his surname was Mu, so Hou Shilu took the opportunity to say his surname was Mu.

"This old man happened to be visiting Zhangjiakou. I didn't expect to meet you here. It's my luck." Hou Shilu looked at Li Xin immediately, and he saw that his expression was resolute and his eyes were shining brightly, which made people invisible.He is strong, handsome and brave.No one can compare.

"I didn't expect to meet the old general here. The student is very polite." Seeing that the other party did not identify himself, Li Xin had a good impression in his heart, and his expression was quite respectful. Come to see me, and ask the old general to forgive me."

"Haha, the old man saw Zhangjiakou just now and found that the young master has left something behind, so I brought it here with the dog." Hou Shilu nodded, stroked his beard, and waved to Hou Gongji who was on the side.Hou Gong didn't dare to be negligent, and gratefully took out a stack of documents from his arms, with the word "Lu Yin" written on it.

Li Xin laughed dumbfounded when he saw this, and secretly praised the Hou family's father and son for their intentions. Lu Yin is like the identity card of later generations. The local government department issued a kind of official document like a letter of introduction and a pass, called "Lu Yin". "Lu Yin" is actually a proof of leaving home.

In the Ming Dynasty, the lijia system or Baojia system was adopted. "One hundred and ten households constituted a mile, and ten households with a large amount of grain served as the leader, and ten households with more than a hundred households became the ten Jia. Jiafan had ten people. There was one chief in the annual service, and the Jia The first person".The law of the Ming Dynasty stipulated that "agriculturists do not travel within a mile, go in and out at night, and know each other's work and rest."Lu Yin was most popular in Ming and Qing Dynasties.Li Xin also had a guide, one was opened by the magistrate's yamen in Huai'an, but it was Li Xin, if he used this guide to guide him to the Central Plains, there might be some problems.So before leaving on the prairie, Zhang Yifu bought a guide at a high price from other places, but no matter what, that guide cannot withstand investigation, but now the guide in his hand is extraordinary, it is the guide issued by the Xuanfu , and the name written on it is called Muzixin.Instead of calling Li Xin.This saved Li Xin a lot of trouble.It can be said that the Hou family father and son gave a great gift this time.

"My lord, it's better to be careful all the way to the south of the Yangtze River. The old man is waiting for the news of your return at the Xuan Mansion." Hou Shilu was overjoyed when he saw that Li Xin had accepted the guide, and stroked his beard.

"I got a good word from the old general, I believe that I will come to pay my respects in the future. Let's say goodbye today." But Li Xin cupped his hands at the father and son, and the two returned the salute, only to see Li Xin beating the horse under his crotch. Only then disappeared in front of the father and son.

"Father, how is this person?" Hou Gong asked impatiently.

"The appearance of the sky and the sun, the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix, have different reactions." Hou Shilu thought for a while, and suddenly these words came out of his mouth.Hou Gongji thought for a while, and when he looked again, Li Xin had disappeared from the eyes of the father and son. Hou Gongji had no choice but to follow Hou Shilu and return to Zhangjiakou.

After Li Xin and his party got the guidance provided by Hou Shilu, they lived unimpeded. Although the guards around Li Xin were all armed with weapons, but in the late Ming Dynasty, thieves were everywhere. , looks like a son of a family, it is normal for a son of a family to have dozens of guards around him when he travels.Even though he was carrying a weapon, it was not surprising, not to mention the guide shown by the Xuanfu General Military Mansion, who would dare to criticize him.

On this day, the group finally entered the Great Wall and entered Changping Mansion. According to Li Xin's plan, they passed through Zhangjiakou, Xuan Mansion, and then entered Changping, and arrived at the capital to see what was going on in the capital. He went south along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and kept looking for Dong Xiaowan according to the chess pieces Zhang Yifu had laid out in the south of the Yangtze River. He believed that since Chongzhen wanted to recruit Dong Xiaowan to Beijing, it must be done with great fanfare. From Suzhou to Beijing, the canal is the most convenient and convenient, Tian Yunxiu Definitely going to take the canal.It was very convenient to find Dong Xiaowan.

"Young Master, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach Changping tonight." As the last ray of sunlight fell from the sky, Li Xin looked into the distance, sighed at last, and said, "Forget it! Let's rest in the wild for now! Be careful on defense."

"Yes." Zhang Wu and the others didn't dare to be negligent, they quickly set up a simple camp, lit a bonfire, and gathered around the fire, eating hard dry food, some took spirits from their horse pockets, and drank Take a few bites to warm up.

"who is it?"

Suddenly there was a cold snort, but it was the spies who had been released who had discovered the visitor.

"Passerby." An old voice came.

"Since you are a passer-by, please come and talk to me." Li Xin looked around, but saw a black and thin man in his 50s coming slowly on an old horse, followed by a carriage behind him.There were also three young princes guarding the carriage.Li Xin saw that there were no guards around them, so he naturally didn't care.

"In that case, thank you very much." The old man jumped off the horse very neatly, but Li Xin squinted his eyes and glanced at Zhang Wu inadvertently, but saw his right hand on the handle of the knife, apparently also noticed This old man is not an easy place.

"Master, where are we now?" A gentle voice came out, and a middle-aged woman with a gentle appearance came out leading a little girl.

"Outside Changping City." The old man sighed.

"Father, we should have rested in Changping from the beginning, but now we have to spend the night in the wild." A young man said dissatisfied.

"Third son, my father is also worried about the situation in Mobei, so he hurried on without stopping." An elderly man reprimanded dissatisfiedly.

"Second Brother, it's not like you don't know. What is Mobei? It's a place for dead people. It's said that Li Xin eats three children a day. He's like a devil in the world. Going to him is courting death." The young man gently The man was even more dissatisfied.

"Hmph!" Zhang Wu's complexion changed when he heard the words, and he was about to draw out the long knife at his waist, but Li Xin shook his head.However, the long knives around everyone's waists still alarmed the old man.

"Gouzi's words offended, please forgive me." The old man was quite imposing, his eyes flickered, obviously he was not an ordinary person.

"Why, this gentleman is going to Mobei?" Li Xin looked at the old man curiously, sized him up, and said, "Mobei has always been the territory of the Mongols, the old man must be careful when going here. "

"Young master is wrong. From now on, Mobei will be the territory of the imperial court. The Holy Majesty has already renamed Guihua City as Yunzhong Mansion." The old man cupped his hands towards Beijing and said.

"It doesn't matter whether it's Yunzhong or naturalization. But as long as this young master repeats what he said just now, I'm afraid that Mr. and his family will never be able to return to the Central Plains." Zhang Wu couldn't help but interjected.In the eyes of these soldiers, Li Xin was like a god, so how could these people be able to slander him.

"En, thank you for reminding me, little brother." The old man had a good temper, and after hearing the words, he nodded quickly and glared at the boy who spoke just now.

"Don't know what the old man's name is? The old man's clothes are very simple, but his behavior doesn't seem to be an ordinary person." Li Xin looked at the old man's way of walking, and asked thoughtfully.

"Master, you are joking, old man Sun Yuanhua." The old man's eyes lit up when he heard the words, he stared at Li Xin, nodded his head at last, and said, "Young master is also from a family of officials and eunuchs!"

"It turned out to be Denglai Governor Sun Yuanhua, Lord Sun. I didn't expect Lord Sun to come here." Li Xin couldn't help being surprised. Historically, Sun Yuanhua was captured at this time and escaped with great difficulty, even if the imperial edict of Emperor Chongzhen changed In history, when these officials went to their posts, which one did not carry eight sedan chairs, followed by guards of honor, walking slowly.Like Sun Yuanhua, there are very few people who get a carriage and the family goes to work like this.

"Hehe, let the young master joke, the emperor will not give up, the official is already the magistrate in the cloud." Sun Yuanhua cupped his hands facing east and said.

"The magistrate in the cloud? Sir Sun, isn't that place a good place? Sir Sun went to that place, and he might not even save his life. The students heard in the Xuanfu that Li Xin was not dealing with the court. My lord Going, what should I do?" Li Xin asked with a smile.

"Oh, you're from Xuan Mansion?" Sun Yuanhua's eyes lit up, and he said, "Then please tell me about the situation of Xuan Mansion, sir. Hey, this old man is also in a hurry, so I really don't know the situation of Xuan Mansion!"
