A waxing moon hung in the blue-black sky.
The originally white flowers and withered yellow grassland were immersed in the faint blue light that seemed to be bright but not bright.
It will be dawn soon.
As I ran, I saw a dark mass of low hills in the distance.
Afraid of an ambush, Lan Yu hurriedly raised her hands and ordered in a low voice: "Stop! Quiet!"
Everyone reined in their horses and stopped, not daring to express their anger.
Lan Yu took a closer look.
It was not a hillside, but a large yurt.
Lan Yu cursed in ecstasy: "Damn it, it's better to come early than to come at the right time. We can encounter this. Brothers, kill these Mongolians for me."
The soldiers lit the oil torches given to them by Zhu Bai, and quickly and silently pounced on them like wolves, setting the tents on fire one by one.
In the silent darkness, the tent turned into countless fires.
The fire was blown by the fierce cold wind, jumping and dancing, becoming more and more enchanting and fierce.
After a moment, screams and exclamations broke out.
The Mongolian woke up from his sleep, put on his clothes and ran out, but was overturned by the Ming soldiers guarding the door of the yurt.
The Yanling knife is extremely sharp, with a blue light shining on it. It has blades for both forehand and backhand, one for each blade.
There were long, sharp iron nails on the mace's upper body. When the stick was driven down, there were holes all over the body, and even the belt and flesh were pulled off.
The sound of wailing echoed through the originally silent countryside.
In less than a stick of incense, the battle was over.
The still living Mongolian was disheveled and tied tightly, kneeling in front of Lan Yu.
Lan Yu looked at the dawn horizon and asked the deputy general: "Where is this?"
The deputy general took out the map, identified it and said, "It should be Xinghe."
Lan Yu raised her chin to the person in front of her and asked, "Tell me, who are you?"
Seeing that the official official was full of shame, he lowered his head and replied: "I am Yuan Guogong, Tili Michi."
Lan Yu raised her eyebrows in surprise and murmured: "Damn it, I didn't expect that I caught a big fish by mistake."
Tili Michi said: "Where did the general come from and how did he find us? He really fell from the sky like a heavenly soldier and a heavenly general."
Lan Yu grinned: "If you don't believe it, I'm just like a blind cat who meets a dead mouse."
-----
Originally Lan Yu allocated two tents to Fei Ju.
Fei Ju came out of his tent in the morning and found that except for their two tents, the other tents were missing.
If it weren't for the horse manure and firewood left by Lan Yu and the others, Fei Ju would have thought that their encounter with Lan Yu was just a dream.
The biting wind blew across the withered grassland, picking up pieces of paper on the ground and passing by my ears.
Fei Ju shuddered and gritted his teeth and said: "Lanyu, this bastard, is so unloyal. He actually left us and ran away!!"
And Lan Yue doesn’t even want these two tents anymore, what the hell!
The guards gathered around Fei Ju and talked a lot.
"When did they leave? Why didn't I hear a sound?"
"You're still a comrade, why is this like this?"
"Master Fei, what should we do?"
Fei Ju thought for a while and sighed: "I have no choice but to go back to Xi'an Mansion."
There was no food or drink here. They had suffered a loss that day, so they dared to go deeper into the grassland.
Fei Ju rushed for half a day before returning to the city of Xi'an.
Zhu Fang was surprised to see Fei Ju back so soon and asked, "Has Mr. Fei found Wang Baobao?"
Fei Ju shook his head: "No. Forget it. The grassland is too scary."
Zhu Xi nodded slightly: "Oh, then respond to Tian quickly."
Fei Ju said, "No way. I still have to find Wang Baobao. Otherwise, I won't be able to pay the job when I go back."
Zhu Ping: "Then you go."
Then he turned around and went in, asked someone to close the door of the palace, and ignored Fei Ju.
Fei Ju never expected that Zhu Xi would reject him so happily, and he was stunned for a long time before taking him away.
Zhu Xi is the prince, what can he do?
Then Fei Ju took people to several health centers, but they all encountered problems.
The landlord's family has no surplus food, let alone the guard station in the bitter cold northwest.
The officers of the guard station all received the news sent by Zhu Ping, fearing that Fei Ju would get involved.
Fei Ju knew that it would be useless to go to Sansi and the prefect himself.
The salary given by Lao Zhu was so small, those officials would definitely not let him eat and drink freely.
Seeing that the military pay allocated to him by Lao Zhu was almost finished, Fei Ju was in a dilemma.
The battle report sent by Lan Yu and the letter of complaint sent by Zhu Ping arrived at Lao Zhu's imperial study room almost at the same time.
Lao Zhu read the battle report first, and then he slapped the table with joy: "Lanyu is really good, and he deserves to be Chang Yuchun's disciple."
Then he read Zhu Ping's letter again.
Zhu Fang first gave a brief report on the situation in the vassal territory, and then said that Fei Ju did not go to the grassland to find people, but was eating and drinking everywhere. He was disliked by all the guards and asked his father to recall him as soon as possible.
When Lao Zhu saw it, he was very angry.
Everyone was working, so Fei Ju continued to cause trouble, and wasted several hundred taels of military pay. Then we asked people to hurry up and send Fei Ju back.
Fei Ju was already worried, but he received a stern recall letter from Lao Zhu halfway through, which made him even more worried.
When he returned to Yingtian, he did not dare to see Lao Zhu directly and walked up and down in the lobby of his home.
The concubine at home saw him in such embarrassment and asked with a smile: "Sir, what's going on?"
Fei Ju: "Your master, I am dead this time. I can't think of anyone who can save me now."
Feng Sheng and the others were not around. Xie Cheng rarely meddle in other people's business and couldn't speak in front of the emperor.
The concubine said: "I heard that the Prime Minister Hu Weiyong is now extremely powerful. You might as well go and beg him."
Now that Wang Guangyang is not doing anything, and the Zhongshu Province is controlled by Hu Weiyong alone, doesn't it mean that he has overwhelming power?
When Fei Ju heard this, his eyes lit up: "That's right, honey, I didn't expect you to have such a good mind."
Fei Ju hurriedly brought gifts to Hu Weiyong.
Hu Weiyong now had eyes and ears all over the government and the public. Seeing that Fei Ju had already guessed his intention, he asked, "What's the matter with Mr. Fei?"
Fei Ju hurriedly bowed to the end: "Master Hu, please help me."
Hu Weiyong sighed: "Oh, the Marquis of Pingliang is really a shameful official."
Fei Ju cried: "Master Hu, if you don't save me, I will die."
Hu Weiyong: "Don't panic. Since Mr. Fei has come to beg me, I will definitely protect you. Don't worry."
Fei Ju: "Ah, I can't thank you enough. How can I repay Master Hu?"
Hu Weiyong: "You're welcome. If I have anything to do in the future, I'll ask Mr. Fei for help. Mr. Fei can't shirk it."
Fei Ju: "I will go through fire and water to repay my kindness."
Hu Weiyong nodded: "Okay. This time, not only can I let you escape safely, but I can also let you regain military power."
Fei Ju's eyes lit up: "That's very good."
Hu Weiyong: "From now on, we will be in the same boat."
-----
The next day Lao Zhu reprimanded Fei Ju in the court.
Fei Ju lay on the ground with shame on his face.
None of the ministers dared to speak out.
Fei Ju saw that Hu Weiyong had no intention of coming out to defend him, and he cursed in his heart: Damn, I was deceived by this bastard. Now there was only a dead end.
