"When will the Mongols learn from our Ming Dynasty and start building forts?" Baihu, the Jinyiwei guard on the side, said in time, looking at the commander.
Yuan Wailang said with a gloomy face: "You Xuanfu officials are so brave. You knew that the Mongols were building a fortress near Xuanfu, but you concealed such a big thing and didn't report it. How many of you have heads? of!"
"No, it's not." The general manager was startled and hurriedly defended, "These forts were not built by the Mongols, and they have nothing to do with the Mongols."
"You mean these forts were not built by the Mongols on the grassland?" Yuan Wailang frowned.
The Ming Dynasty built the forts to resist the Mongolian invasion on the grasslands, and after hearing what the general in front of him said, there were other people who built the forts near Xuanfu.
Mr. Jiang nodded repeatedly and said, "It really has nothing to do with the Mongols."
"This is strange." Yuan Wailang said, stroking his beard. "Since the fort I saw during the day was not the Ming Dynasty's own fort, nor the Mongolian fort, could it be that it was still a horse bandit on the grassland?" The built fort."
puff!
When a Jin Yiwei who was drinking heard this, the drink in his mouth spurted out on the spot.
Hearing the noise, Yuan Wailang gave the Jin Yiwei a fierce look.
"Not a horse bandit either." Mr. Ba shook his head with a wry smile.
The Jinyiwei Baihu next to him said impatiently: "There's so much nonsense. Just tell your Excellency who built the fortress we saw during the day."
Yuanwailang looked at the boss in front of him.
He was also curious in his heart, who could be so capable that he actually built such a fortress on the grassland near Xuan Mansion.
Mr. Ba hesitated for a moment, turned his head and looked around.
"Don't look, there are grasslands on all sides. We are the only ones here in the middle of the night." Jin Yiwei Baihu said urgently.
The general manager showed a hint of embarrassment and whispered: "The one who built the fort on the grassland outside Xuanfu is the tiger-character flag."
As his words fell, the faces of Yuan Wai Lang and several Jin Yiwei from the capital changed several times.
"Is this true?" Yuan Wailang asked again worriedly.
Mr. Gao nodded with a wry smile and said: "I don't dare to tell you this, sir. If you don't believe me, you can just ask someone in Xuan Mansion to inquire. I will never tell a lie."
hiss!
Yuanwailang took a breath of air.
Not long ago, rumors spread everywhere in the capital that the Tiger Character Flag would rebel. Initially, he didn't believe it at all, and privately thought that someone was spreading such rumors deliberately.
Now after listening to what the boss said in front of him, if what the other party said was true, he even suspected that the rumors in the capital were probably true.
"Sir, I think this is impossible." Jin Yiwei Baihu said, "The grassland has always been the place of the Mongols, and the Tiger Flag is just a business. Even if it has some strength, the Mongols cannot let the Tiger Flag Build a fortress before their eyes."
Mr. Ba smiled bitterly and said, "Young man really didn't lie. If you don't believe me, you can go to Nadunbao tomorrow and take a look. After reading it, you will understand that what I said is true."
"Hearing what you said, I really want to go and take a look to see if it is the fort built with the tiger-shaped flag." Jinyiwei Baihu became interested.
When the Jinyiwei left the capital, they were all wearing bright clothes and angry horses. They looked very arrogant wherever they went. As long as the Dunbao they saw during the day had nothing to do with the Mongols, he would not have any worries.
Even if the Dunbao were full of Mongols, the Mongols would not do anything to him as an escort sent by the imperial court to Qingcheng.
At this time, Yuan Wailang said: "Everyone should go to bed early tonight and hurry up to Qingcheng tomorrow without causing any trouble."
"My lord, don't you go to the fort you saw during the day to witness it?" Jin Yiwei Baihu asked nonchalantly.
Yuan Wailang shook his head and said: "Don't forget what we came to the grassland for. Everything must be done as directed by the court. Don't delay on the road if you have nothing to do."
He thought more deeply than the hundreds of Jin Yiwei guards.
The Xuanfu had never reported anything about the construction of the fort, not to mention that the fort they saw during the day was still on the grassland. If it was really the fort built by Tiger Flag himself, they would just go there like this. He was worried People with the tiger character flag are likely to kill people to keep their secrets secret.
This is grassland, not the emperor's feet like the capital city.
If he killed a few people here and threw them into the wild, no one might find them for a year or so, so he didn't want to take the risk.
Even if the Dunbao was built by Tiger Banner, he would still be able to find out about it when he returns to Xuan Mansion. There is no need to take risks now.
"Yes, I will obey your orders." Although Jin Yiwei Baihu wanted to visit the Dunbao, they did not dare to go against the wishes of the Yuanwai Lang in front of him.
In their team, the Yuanwailang from the Ministry of Etiquette is the leader, and these royal guards are just the other party's bodyguards.
"Go to rest early!" Yuanwailang turned around and returned to the tent with the wine bottle in his hand.
Standing by the fire, Boss secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
From the bottom of his heart, he was unwilling to go to the fort built by Tiger Character Banner, otherwise he would not go around it, but he did not expect that the master of the Ministry of Rites would still find out the clues.
"What are you still standing for? Sit down and drink!" Jin Yiwei Baihu greeted the standing boss.
The general manager turned around and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, drink. I also have a pot of sorghum brew here. Let's drink together."
After saying hello, he took out the last pot of sorghum brew.
Several Jin Yiwei came up, holding bowls, and each of them took a bowl.
There was still some left in the jug, so he touched the jug with Jin Yiwei Baihu, then raised the jug and took a big sip.
"Enjoyable!" Jin Yiwei Baihu, who drank a bowl of wine, was so spicy that he stuck out his tongue.
The general manager picked up the wine pot and refilled the wine bowls of Jinyiwei Baihu.
"Tiger Character Banner is not a company in Datong. Why did you come to build a fort on the grassland and you, General Wang, didn't know anything about it?" Jinyiwei Baihu's cheeks were red and his mouth smelled of alcohol.
The boss didn’t want to talk about the Dunbao anymore, but he also didn’t want to offend a member of the Imperial Guard Baihu, so he could only say: “I am just a boss. How can I, a small boss, talk about the matters of the big shots above? Let’s still drink.”
As he said that, he touched the wine bowl in Jinyiwei Baihu's hand again.
"Anyway, I have nothing to do today. Tell me what's going on?" Jinyiwei Baihu didn't intend to let him go and continued to ask, "The grassland is the territory of the Mongols. Your General Wang doesn't care about the tiger flag to build a fortress. , why even the Mongols allowed the Tiger-Character Banner to build forts on their grasslands."
