PS: Thanks to book friend pfgqd for the tip.
Several war horses walked on the streets of Datongfu.
Pedestrians on the road saw him and gave way, fearing that they might inadvertently displease the nobleman on horseback.
"Master, the man from Yang Hewei has come to Datong Mansion." Yang Yuan, who was following Liu Heng on horseback, said in a low voice.
Liu Heng chuckled lightly and said: "It's going to rain. Mother is going to get married. If he wants to come, no one can stop him. He just needs people to keep an eye on him and don't worry about the rest."
"Yes." Yang Yuan nodded.
He controlled the horse under him to slow down slowly, and whispered a few words to the person following him.
A war horse and its rider took the reins, broke away from the team, and galloped away in the other direction.
"drive!"
Liu Heng shook the reins in his hand and urged the horse to trot.
The other people guarded him, and they all left the city gate of Datong Mansion, heading towards Xinping Fort.
Official documents from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Personnel arrived in Datong later than expected.
Several days passed in a row.
The official document from the capital has also been issued. Liu Heng is no longer the guard general of Xinpingbao, but the handover has not yet been carried out before the new guard general takes office. He is still temporarily taking the position of guard general, waiting for the new guard general.
Although Liu Heng was just a guerrilla general, he was qualified to garrison Xinping Fort because of his recruitment, and Datong East Road no longer had a staff general.
Now that Liu Heng has resigned as guerrilla general, the two positions left vacant are guerrilla general and Xinpingbao counselor.
Many generals are eyeing the seat left by Liu Heng.
"Master, the newly appointed guard of Xinpingbao has taken over." A soldier ran in to report.
Liu Heng put down the official document in his hand and said with a smile: "After waiting for so long, we have decided on the candidate for the guard general. Zhao Wu, come with me to meet our newly appointed guard general."
As he spoke, he stood up from his seat, walked around the desk, and walked out the door.
Zhao Wu followed closely behind him and left the signing room.
The earliest Xinpingbao was a military fort with soldiers and generals stationed inside.
However, as Anda Khan was granted the title of King of Shunyi, the two sides began to trade with each other, and Xinping Fort gradually became a dual-use military and civilian building from a military fort. Some businessmen began to buy houses and land in Xinping Fort.
The General's Mansion in the fort was built the earliest and is considered the largest courtyard.
Even so, it is not as good as the large houses in Datong City, and there are only a few doors in the entire General's Mansion.
When he came to the door of the mansion, Liu Heng saw a group of soldiers and horses standing outside the door.
One of the leaders was wearing a red robe, and this person seemed familiar to him.
"I have met General Liu."
Before Liu Heng could speak, the general in red robe took the lead in saluting Liu Heng and saying hello.
"General, you're welcome. Now I'm an ordinary citizen. I can go back to run my business after I've handed over to the general. I really can't afford to be called a general by the general." Liu Heng turned aside to avoid the other party's salute.
The military general in red robe straightened up and said in a flattering tone: "General Liu is a superior officer to a lower official. Now he is just resigning to cultivate himself. I believe he will be reused by the court in a short time."
"The general was also an official in Datong before?" Liu Heng asked curiously.
The other party had become a subordinate in front of him, and he felt a little familiar, and he guessed the origin of the other party.
At this time, several fast horses appeared on the street outside the mansion.
When he was about to reach the gate of the mansion, he stopped. One of them got off his horse, walked quickly to Liu Heng, and whispered a few words in his ear.
"It turns out to be General Huang. I didn't recognize him just now. Please forgive me, General." After listening to the words of the people around him, Liu Heng finally knew the identity of the general in front of him.
It turned out to be Huang An, who had replaced Li Huaixin as the guard of Lingqiu. This was something he never expected.
Huang An hurriedly stepped forward and said, "General Liu has offended Xianguan. To be honest, what happened back then was really Xianguan's fault. Xiaguan is here to apologize to General Liu."
With that said, he bowed deeply to Liu Heng.
Seeing this, the corners of Liu Heng's eyes twitched slightly.
Huang An's behavior made him a little confused. He didn't understand whether the other party was sincerely apologizing or if he had ulterior motives.
After all, Tiger Character Banner dealt with Huang An ruthlessly and sent Huang An to the Suppression Guards, turning him into a guard general with an empty title and no real power.
Because the Zhenlu Guards and the Tiancheng Guards share the same guardhouse, they have long existed in name only. It is the Tiancheng Guards who hold the real power, and the Zhenlu Guards have long been their vassals, with no authority at all.
After Huang An went to Zhenlu Guards, it can be said that his official career was completely cut off, and there was no chance of turning around.
What Liu Heng never expected was that a person who shouldn't have appeared appeared in front of him and wanted to take over the position of guard of Xinpingbao.
"Please, General Huang. The handover will be completed early so that the common people can take off the heavy burden on their shoulders." Liu Heng turned sideways and made a gesture to invite the other party to enter the house.
The person coming was an enemy, not a friend, so he didn't bother to say anything more.
Huang An did not move, but said: "General Liu, I am able to come to Xinping Fort, and Pei Xun of Yanghe Guard is behind me. However, I am unwilling to work for him, let alone be an enemy of General Liu. "
When he said these words, his face was extremely serious.
Liu Heng looked Huang An up and down, and said with a smile: "General Huang, please come in. The handover will be completed early, and the common people can move away from here."
"Everything will follow General Liu's arrangements." Huang An nodded.
He knew that it would be difficult for Liu Heng to let go of his original grudge with just a few words of his own. He believed that with future contacts, Liu Heng and Hu Ziqi would definitely believe that he had no evil intentions.
A group of people entered the mansion.
The handover was handled by the people below, and Liu Heng accompanied Huang An to the back hall.
The two of them had a cup of fragrant tea in front of them, slowly sipping the tea, chatting about innocuous things, and waiting for the people outside to take over to get things done.
Huang An didn't say anything to turn hostility into friendship at this moment. He only said some words to flatter Liu Heng, or some jokes, and from time to time he would also reveal something related to Pei Hong.
Almost as long as one stick of incense.
The people on both sides who went to hand over returned to the back hall and briefly reported the handover. The handover was completed.
Liu Heng stood up, looked at Huang An and said: "Now that the handover has been completed, Cao Min will take the people away. Before leaving, I would like to congratulate General Huang for getting the dragon water and rising to the sky."
"I thank General Liu for his kind words." Huang An also stood up and bowed towards Liu Heng.
Liu Heng led Yang Yuan and others out of the back hall and went straight to the door of the mansion.
Huang An personally sent people out.
All the things belonging to Liu Heng in the mansion were moved to the carriage outside the door.
After getting on his horse, Liu Heng said to the people around him: "Let's go!"
Liu Heng rode in front.
Driven by the driver, the carriage moved slowly, and a team of nearly a hundred soldiers followed behind and gradually moved away.
