After Zhang Mingwei listened, he pondered for a moment, then looked at Emperor Chongzhen and replied: "That's good. I'll send someone to Baoding to verify the situation of Xiaoyuan Camp, such as their military discipline and reputation. I can also check them by the way. The real strength of the troops and so on, you can decide to recruit them only after you have a good idea of them!"
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he nodded quickly and said: "Okay, this is the safest way, otherwise, I won't worry about your safety!"
"Your Majesty, the matter is urgent, so I will go back immediately to arrange this matter!" Zhang Mingwei knew that it would take a lot of time to go back and forth with the traffic at this time, so he immediately made the request.
In fact, Emperor Chongzhen was even more anxious when it came to urgency, so he naturally agreed immediately.
………………
Not far from the entrance of Zhang's Mansion on Chang'an Avenue, two people stopped and looked at Zhang's Mansion for a while. Then, one of them turned to the other strong man and said, "You have really decided. Come with me to see the country." male?"
"Yes!" After hearing this, the strong man nodded and said without hesitation, "I trust the military advisor!"
The person who spoke first was naturally protected by Lan Tian. He asked the strong man again: "Although I can trust you, for the safety of the prince, I still have to tie you up first. Have you thought clearly?"
"The military advisor did not take me to the Jinyiwei Yamen, but came to the Duke's Mansion to see the Duke. This already shows that the military advisor is actually thinking about me. I understand this." The strong man replied without hesitation.
Lan Tianbao was a little moved when he heard this, but he still reminded: "When you enter the Duke's Mansion, if the Duke does not agree to recruit you, I will definitely try my best to ensure your safety and intercede for you. However, if the Duke still insists on arresting you, If so, no one can stop it, have you thought clearly?"
The strong man nodded and said: "For the sake of elder brother and for the brothers, it is worth trying to find a way out. Besides, I believe that the Duke is a good person!"
Hearing this, Lan Tianbao wanted to speak again, but the strong man was a little impatient and immediately said first: "Military advisor, you are not usually such a mother-in-law. Why are you so long-winded? Just lead the way!"
When Lan Tianbao heard this, he couldn't help but smile. It seemed that he was overthinking it.
So, he reached out and patted the strong man on the shoulder. Without saying a word, he turned around and walked towards the gate of Zhang Mansion.
Seeing the door of Zhang Mansion becoming clearer and clearer, thinking that he would see his relatives soon, Lan Tianbao took a deep breath, tried to calm down his excitement, and said silently in his heart: "Father, mother, and brother, I came back!"
When he took over the mission from the Duke, he was actually prepared not to come back. At that time, the separation from my parents and younger brother was really like parting between life and death, and I still remember it now.
But no matter how many dangers he has experienced and how much hardship he has suffered, he is finally back today, and he may even perform some meritorious deeds. To be honest, it would be strange for Lan Tianbao to be calm at this time!
Walking closer and closer, we soon arrived at the door of Zhang's mansion.
The door is closed tightly, the plaque with the word "Zhang Mansion" is still horizontal on it, and the two stone lions on the left and right still maintain their original posture. All of this is still as it is in memory.
Lan Tianbao stopped and looked at all this, feeling very emotional in his heart.
However, he remembered that he was on business, so he turned to look at the strong man following behind him, nodded to him, and then walked towards the side door, ready to knock on the door knocker.
But who would have thought that before he could get closer, the side door was pushed open. Before anyone could get out, a voice came out and said: "Dad is on an errand, not shopping. What are you doing with me, you kid? Go back to study." Be literate, otherwise I won’t be able to beat you to death when I come back!”
Hearing this voice, Lan Tianbao was a little surprised. After thinking about it for a while, he immediately thought of a person.
But at this time, the man had already led the horse out. He was wearing a black flying fish suit, with a waist embroidered with a spring knife. He was tall and looked very heroic. Apparently, it's still a general flag.
This was different from what he had remembered. Lan Tianbao was stunned for a moment.
As soon as the man went out, he happened to see someone in front of him. He took a closer look and then said in surprise: "Brother Tianbao, is it you? It's you who's back!"
Hearing these words and seeing his face, Lan Tianbao recognized it and said with a smile: "It's me, Brother Liu. Are you an official now, the General Banner of the Imperial Guard?"
When we were together in the Duke's mansion, we could follow the Duke in and out of the Jinyiwei Yamen, and we could even summon some Jinyiwei captains. However, they are actually just white men.
Therefore, when seeing Liu Jin wearing the uniform of the Imperial Guard, Lan Tianbao subconsciously felt a little envious.
After hearing this, Liu Jin smiled back, and then hurriedly shouted inside: "Son, go and tell Mr. Lan and Po that Uncle Tianbao is back!"
After shouting, he walked a few steps quickly and arrived in front of Lan Tianbao. He reached out and slapped Lan Tianbao hard, and said happily: "Haha, it's good to be back. It's good to be back. You don't even know. In a while, your father will Mom found out, and she was so happy! Haha!"
Lan Tianbao was also very excited thinking about his parents. When he was about to speak, Liu Jin had already noticed the strong man behind him, and said with a little curiosity: "Hey, you brought a guest back? Haha, Brother Tianbao's friend is my Liu Jin's friend. Come here. Come on, please come inside!"
The strong man had been following behind, so he naturally saw what happened just now. Hearing the forthright words of the Imperial Guard Commander, he was very fond of him, so he clasped his fists and said, "I'm Yuan Zhuangfei! What do you call me, sir?"
"Hey, you are not a grown-up, you are Brother Tianbao's friend, just call me Liu Jin!" Liu Jin heard this and said with a smile.
Lan Tianbao, who was standing next to him, heard their conversation and introduced to Yuan Zhuangfei: "This is the family I told you before, who was taken in by the Duke with my family."
As soon as he heard this, Liu Jin immediately recalled the unpleasant past of selling his son and daughter. He didn't want to think about it anymore, so he quickly gestured with his hand: "Come on, come on, please come in!"
After listening to Lan Tianbao's introduction, Yuan Zhuangfei knew that this man also met a noble man. He met Duke Xingguo when he was selling his son and daughter, and was then taken in by Duke Xingguo. Now he has become the bannerman of the Imperial Guard, which made him Very envious.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Lan Tianbao said: "Don't worry, tie Brother Yuan up before entering the house!"
"..." Upon hearing this, Liu Jin was dumbfounded.
He thought he heard wrongly, so he turned to look at Lan Tianbao, only to see that he had actually taken out the rope.
This time, he was confused. From the looks of them, they must be friends! Why did he have to be kidnapped before entering the Duke's Mansion? There is no such rule in the Duke’s Mansion!
Yuan Zhuangfei was actually a little embarrassed, but this was agreed in advance, so he didn't say anything.
Liu Jin came back to his senses and asked, still a little puzzled: "This... this is..."
To be honest, he didn't know what to say.
Lan Tianbao didn't want to tell him the details, but just said to him: "You should understand after meeting the Duke."
"The Duke of Guo is not in the palace, he seems to have entered the palace, or he is at the Jinyiwei Yamen!" Liu Jin roughly guessed at this time that it might be related to what the Duke of Guo was doing on behalf of Lan Tianbao, so he reminded him.
Lan Tianbao tied up Yuan Zhuangfei a little embarrassed at this time, and said to Liu Jin: "See if the binding is strong?"
Obviously, he wanted to avoid suspicion.
Liu Jin just glanced at it for a few times, then nodded and said, "No problem."
To be honest, he was still a little confused. He looked like he was Lan Tianbao's friend, but why was he tied up again?
Lan Tianbao didn't care whether he wanted to understand or not, he just said to Liu Jin: "Brother Liu, please go to the Jinyiwei Yamen. If you can see the master, tell me that I am back and have important news related to the current situation. I have to report it to the master face to face!"
"Okay!" After hearing this, Liu Jin knew that it must be a very important matter, so he immediately agreed.
Lan Tianbao cupped his fists and said, "It's time to work then. Brother Yuan and I are waiting for you in the concierge!"
Hearing this, Liu Jin nodded. However, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he strode back to the door and shouted a few times. Several captains of imperial guards came out immediately, and then said to them: "Brother Tianbao is back. You can watch them in the concierge." , I’ll report it to the master!”
"Yes!" After hearing this, several imperial guards in imperial robes immediately agreed.
Liu Jin then turned around, looked at Lan Tianbao and Yuan Zhuangfei, cupped his fists and saluted, "Don't blame them for offending! I will go to the Jinyiwei Yamen immediately."
After saying that, he immediately got on his horse, said "drive" and galloped away.
Watching Liu Jin leave, Lan Tianbao turned around and recognized a Jinyi Guardsman whom he had seen before. When he was about to speak, he heard a cry from inside: "Tianbao, is Tianbao back?" What?"
There was a strong sense of surprise in his words, no, he was overjoyed.
Upon hearing this, Lan Tianbao's eyes immediately turned red. Because he heard it, it was his mother's voice.
………………
At the Jinyiwei Yamen, Zhang Mingwei had just returned from the palace. He sat and thought for a while and decided to send Liu Jin to investigate the situation in Xiao Yuanying to feel more at ease. However, after asking, he found out that Liu Jin was not in the Yamen, so he immediately ordered his subordinates. Find someone.
Seeing this situation, Princess Kunxing couldn't help but asked curiously: "Sir, do you have something to ask Liu Jin to do again?"
Previously, Liu Jin completed the task of escorting Magistrate Liang and captured two assassins alive. It can be said that he did a very good job. Therefore, Princess Kunxing remembered this.
Upon hearing this, she immediately guessed in this direction.
Zhang Mingwei didn't hide it from him. He nodded and said seriously: "There is a very important thing for him to do!"
As soon as he said these words, before Princess Kunxing could gossip, she saw Liu Jin running in from the outside. As soon as he saw Zhang Mingwei, he immediately clasped his fists and reported: "Master, Lan Tianbao is back, and he has brought back a Let me tie you up and wait for the master in the house, saying that you have something urgent to report!"
