Just when a group of people were standing at the door of the mansion, an old man came out of the mansion. Seeing Hu Yunqing standing at the door, he quickly ran over, knelt in front of Hu Yunqing and said.
"Sir, you are back."
"Well, you've worked hard looking at this house."
Looking at the old man in front of him, Hu Yunqing also knew that when he left here, he said that he would come back one day sooner or later and asked the old man to take care of the house. He helped the old man in front of him while talking.
"Well, will there be chaos at the border after I leave?"
After helping the old man up, Hu Yunqing asked him the question he was most concerned about.
After all, the slave builders had no credibility at all. They were afraid that the other party would leave because of them, so the Ming Dynasty relaxed its vigilance and took the opportunity to attack Shanhaiguan, or continued to send small groups of cavalry to burn, kill and loot near the border.
"Even though there are some horse bandits running around nearby, robbing some passing merchants, the fighting has not stopped, and now the people at the border can sleep peacefully."
"Horse bandit? Why didn't we hear about it when we were here?"
Juan was a little confused. This was Shanhaiguan, and they were the most elite frontier troops of the Ming Dynasty. There were actually horse bandits here.
"Who knows, these horse bandits are very cunning. The Yamen also sent many people to encircle and suppress them. In the end, they all returned in vain. In the end, they did not harm their lives and only robbed some rich people's money. The government did not want to continue to work hard to eliminate them. ”
"This government! What a failure!"
After Han Kedi heard this, he was really angry that the Yamen could let the horse bandits grow up. The court spent a lot of money to support them, but they actually raised a group of cowards.
"Hey, Juan, go to the military camp outside the city and tell me that I asked you to lead a team of cavalry to kill the horse bandits!"
Hu Yunqing was also very angry and ordered to Huan behind him.
"As you command!"
After hearing the order, Juan started riding without saying a word.
"Wait a moment!"
"Your Majesty, leave it to me this time!"
Han Kedi stopped Huan who was about to leave and pleaded to Hu Yunqing.
"Okay, I don't want any fish to slip through the net!"
After taking a look at Han Kedi in front of him, Hu Yunqing thought for a moment, it was just a group of horse bandits, so he still let Han Kedi go.
"Sorry, brother!"
After riding on the horse, Han Kedi looked at Juan under the horse and said.
"It's okay. We're all brothers. Don't let others see you. You must be careful."
Juan stood under the horse, smiled and warned Han Kedi.
"Your Majesty?"
The old man knelt on the ground when he heard Han Ke's name for Hu Yunqing.
"Old man, what are you doing?"
Hu Yunqing watched the old man kneel down for him again, and quickly reached out to help him up and asked.
"You are the prince now, I dare not be disrespectful!"
"It's okay, Juan will change the brand later."
Hu Yunqing returned here. He originally didn't want to be too high-profile, but in order to cause unnecessary trouble, he still showed off his title.
Early the next morning, a new plaque was hung on the door. The three characters "Dingbei King" were also powerful.
Hearing that the Marquis of Dingbei had returned and was named King of Dingbei by the court, a group of people gathered outside the palace.
They began to cheer enthusiastically. They all knew that Hu Yunqing's contribution to Shanhaiguan was the reason why they were comfortable today.
They wanted to thank him a long time ago, but when they learned the news, it was a little late. Hu Yunqing had already left here.
This time Hu Yunqing came back again, and they hurried over to thank him. Many of them misunderstood Hu Yunqing's people at that time. This time they did not use insulting words, but thanked him with a smile.
"Step aside!"
Just as the people gathered around the gate of the palace, a group of soldiers squeezed in from the outside and forced their way out.
"Secure this place for me. Don't let anyone break in."
A rough voice rang out, and many people in Shanhaiguan recognized the general as Wang Hu, who almost caused a big mistake at that time.
After such a long time, Wang Hu also resumed his official position. This time he came here with the order of Yuan Chonghuan to protect Hu Yunqing.
"Hey, why are you here?"
Juan heard something moving outside, walked out and saw Wang Hu at the door, and asked in surprise.
Because he knew that Wang Hu had made a mistake at that time and thought that he had been beheaded long ago, but he did not expect that he was still alive and kicking now.
"Shiwei Hu, I want to see the prince, and I want you to inform me."
While Wang Hu was speaking, he took out a piece of silver from his arms and quietly put it into Juan's hand.
Juan felt the weight of the silver in his hand and said with a smile.
"Okay, you wait for me here. I'll go in and give you a report. But whether the prince sees you or not, that's not what I can say."
Juan put the money into his arms and gave Wang Hu a warning in front of him. In the end, he didn't let him in, so he could be mentally prepared.
"Thank you very much"
Juan entered the house and came to the backyard.
"Your Majesty, that Wang Hu wants to see you and give me more than ten taels of silver."
"You can keep this money and let him come in."
After listening to Juan's words and looking at the money in Juan's hand, Hu Yunqing didn't care at all, but Wang Hu came to find him, and he was so generous, which was not Wang Hu's style.
Thinking that the other party must have something to ask for, he asked Juan to bring him in.
Many officials are corrupt, but there is very little money to be made in the army, not to mention a single-minded man like Wang Hu who only leads troops to fight and doesn't care about anything else.
I'm afraid giving Juan these ten taels would be like bleeding a lot.
Juan didn't think too much and happily put away the ten taels of silver.
"General Wang, the prince has agreed to see you. Come with me."
"Thank you, Guard Hu."
Hearing that Hu Yunqing wanted to see him, Wang Hu happily bowed his hand to Huan.
Originally, Wang Hu was still thinking about how to get in. Fortunately, his second brother Wang Bao made a move and took out his own money, which was not rich to begin with. Unexpectedly, it really worked.
Followed Juan to the backyard.
"Why did you come to me?"
Hu Yunqing, now wearing a blue and white brocade robe, looked at Wang Hu who walked in and asked.
"Your Majesty, I was blind before. I did not act according to orders and mobilized the army without permission. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
Wang Hu knew from many people that Hu Yunqing was very angry when he left. When he heard that Hu Yunqing was coming back this time, he almost scared Wang Hu to death. Now he is the King of Dingbei in the Ming Dynasty.
Come here quickly to apologize and ask for forgiveness from King Dingbei.
"What did you say?"
Looking at Wang Hu who was kneeling in front of him, Hu Yunqing couldn't help but smile. What's going on here?
"Your Majesty, I know I did something wrong before."
"Okay, it's all old sesame and rotten millet. This matter is over."
