"Sir, it's bad, something happened."
As the words fell, aide Sun Yi quickly walked in from outside the house.
Wang Xinyi, who was sitting in his seat, asked hurriedly: "What happened? Is it related to the Tiger Flag?"
Sun Yi nodded in a low voice and said: "News just came from Datong Fucheng. Xinping Fort fell and was occupied by the Tiger-Character Banner. East Road General Li Huaixin fled back to Datong Fucheng alone."
"What! The people from the Tiger Flag actually captured Xinping Fort!" Wang Xinyi's expression suddenly changed.
Xinping Fort is a border fort. It is much stronger than Yanghe Wei in terms of the number of soldiers and strength. Even Xinping Fort was captured by the Tiger Flag, and Yanghe Wei could not withstand the troops of the Tiger Flag. .
Thinking that it was him who had caused Tiger Character Banner to become a rebel bandit, he suddenly became extremely frightened. He was worried that Tiger Character Banner would come to retaliate against him. Once Yanghewei was breached by Tiger Character Banner's people, he didn't think that Tiger Character Banner's people would Let him go.
"Sir, why don't you go back to the capital for a while? With the current situation, Datong will probably be in chaos soon." Sun Yi advised.
"Return to Beijing?" Wang Xinyi repeated in his mouth, shook his head at the end, and said helplessly, "If I return to Beijing at this time, I am afraid that I will be arrested and imprisoned as soon as I return. You must know that I cannot rebel without an edict. Beijing’s.”
Sun Yi persuaded: "The Donglin Party still has many friends of your Excellency, you can ask them for help. At most, your Excellency will only be temporarily removed from office, but you will still have the opportunity to become an official in a few years."
"That's inappropriate." Wang Xinyi shook his head.
He was just a small censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Once he lost his official position, he knew that it would be difficult for him to make a comeback. This time he had finally made great achievements in Datong, so he was reluctant to give up like this.
Sun Yi saw that Wang Xinyi did not agree to return to Beijing to avoid the tiger-character flag, and continued to persuade: "As the saying goes, if you keep the green mountains, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood. At this time, it is important for you to preserve your usefulness."
As an aide, he could resign from his master's family if he wanted to return to Beijing. However, if he left when his master's family was in danger, once the incident spread, it would harm his reputation, and it would be difficult for anyone to ask him to be an aide in the future.
"I said I won't return to Beijing." Wang Xinyi said in a bad tone.
When Sun Yi saw Wang Xinyi getting angry, he swallowed back his words of persuasion.
Wang Xin lightly tapped the armrest of the seat with his finger. After four or five times, he said: "I am going to Datong Fucheng to see the governor. You and Mr. Chen are going with me. You have to bring your luggage. This time I will go back." Live in Datong Fucheng for a while."
"Student, let's do it now." Sun Yi bowed and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Datong Fucheng has more soldiers and civilians than Yanghe Guards. Although going to Datong Fucheng is not as good as returning to the capital, it is still better than staying in Yanghe Guards. More importantly, going to Datong Fucheng is not an escape, and excuses are easy to find. If something happens to Yang Hewei, the court has no reason to punish him.
Wang Xinyi said to Sun Yi: "Go and get ready. Once you've packed up, we'll set off."
It was obvious that he was anxious to leave Yang and Wei.
"Do you want to bring more soldiers to protect you on the way?" Sun Yi asked.
Wang Xinyi said in a deep voice: "Now there is no peace in Datong, and I have brought important matters to see the governor. My life and death are minor matters, but important matters concerning the imperial court cannot be lost."
"Students understand, the student union will dispatch more soldiers to escort along the road." Sun Yi bowed and said.
He raised his hands to support the arrangement of more soldiers to escort them to Datong Fucheng.
"Okay, you go down and get ready!" Wang Xin waved his hand to Sun Yi, signaling him to quickly prepare for going to Datong Fucheng.
"Student, please leave." Sun Yi saluted Wang Xinyi, took two steps back, then turned and walked out of the room.
As soon as he walked out of the courtyard, another aide of Wang Xinyi, Chen Tong, came towards him.
The two people met outside the courtyard gate. Chen Tong was the first to speak: "Where is your Excellency? Are you in there?"
As he spoke, he glanced towards the house behind the yard.
Sun Yi grabbed Chen Tong's sleeve and walked to the right side of the courtyard gate.
Chen Tong hesitated for a moment, but finally did not resist and allowed the other party to pull him away.
Arriving a little further away from the soldiers guarding the courtyard gate, Sun Yi said, "Have you heard about Xinping Fort?"
"What happened to Xinping Fort?" Chen Tong frowned, somewhat confused as to why Sun Yi mentioned Xinping Fort.
Sun Yi looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so he whispered: "I just received news from Datong Fucheng that Xinping Fort fell into the hands of Tiger Flag."
"What? The Tiger Character Banner has already begun to attack the city!" Chen Tong was shocked.
Sun Yi hurriedly pulled Chen Tong's sleeves with his hands and whispered: "Please keep your voice down. Only you, me and the adults know about this matter. The people below don't know yet."
Hearing this, Chen Tong looked around and whispered: "After General Zhang's defeat, it's not that Tiger Character Banner didn't even attack Lingqiu City, why did it suddenly attack Xinping Fort? Could it be that the surrounding areas of Lingqiu How many states and counties have fallen?"
"The soldiers and horses that attacked Xinping Fort were the soldiers and horses left by the Tiger Character Banner on the grassland." Sun Yi explained, and then added, "The Tiger Character Banner secretly raised more than one soldier and horse, and it is rumored that there were tens of thousands of soldiers. So much."
"If there are really tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, once chaos breaks out, the entire Datong will be plunged into war, and maybe even Taiyuan and Xuanfu will be affected." Chen Tong's face became a little ugly.
Sun Yi said: "The Xuanfu may not be affected. Don't forget, the Xuanfu has more troops than our Datong, and Mr. Yang is not like Mr. Zhang."
He sneered at an incompetent commander like Zhang Huai, with a hint of contempt in his tone.
"Hey, it's been such an eventful time. I originally wanted to tell you the good news from the Xuan Mansion to make you happy, but now it seems that it's hard to make you happy." Chen Tong sighed.
"What happened to the Fan family?" Sun Yi frowned and repeated.
He knew that his lord had left the cooperation with the Fan family to Chen Tong, and that only the Fan family's affairs could make his lord care about news related to the Xuan Mansion.
Chen Tong nodded and said: "The Fan family just sent news that the Tiger Character Banner's chamber of commerce in Xuanfu was in trouble. Secretly, many members of the chamber of commerce began to secretly cooperate with the Fan family. The decline of the Fan family in Xuanfu has turned around. I believe that with It won’t be long before the Tiger Character Banner’s power in Xuan Mansion will be wiped out.”
"It's indeed a good thing to hear you say that." Sun Yi nodded and said immediately, "You go to see the master first. When you come out from the master, remember to pack up quickly. The master is going to take us to Datong Fucheng to hide."
When Wang Xinyi, Yang Hewei and others put these words in front of him, he would naturally not say it so straightforwardly, but facing Chen Tong, he did not hide anything and told Chen Tong the truth.
Chen Tong understood and said: "Datong is about to be in chaos. You can't leave Datong without your will and you can't leave Datong at will. It is indeed much better to go to Datong Fucheng to escape the war than to stay in Yanghewei."
"Okay, you go see the adults. I'll go back and clean up. I'm afraid I'll have to hide in Datong for a while this time." Sun Yi said to Chen Tong.
