    The sun was shining brightly and the pedestrians on the street were getting hotter. Suddenly, a strange team appeared at the north gate of the city. Sixteen imperial guards from the Ming Dynasty, all in military uniform and wearing waist knives, escorted a brightly painted carriage and drove into the city.

    All are tall and handsome white horses with gorgeous saddles, and the armor worn by the guards on the horses is infinitely more exquisite than that of the frontier soldiers.  The carriage entered the city without stopping, and the guard of honor went straight to the post office.

    In the post office, Yang Ling, Liu Biao, and Yang Yiqing were chatting and tasting tea, trying to learn as much as possible about the capital city and Jinyiwei from them.  At this time, a postman rushed in and said: "My lord, some officials from the past have come to send a letter to park, and the convoy will be here soon."

    Yang Ling was very surprised when he heard this. Although the post office was responsible for receiving officials from the past, the Tatars' territory was not far from the cock crowing, and no court officials had ever come here.  If there is an official letter to drive, then the size of the motorcade must be quite large. Who is it?

    Accompanied by Liu Biao and Yang Yiqing, he hurried out the door, and saw a carriage in front of him slowly coming along the post road, with eight horses on each side, and a knight sitting on the horse with armor on, very mighty.

    Seeing the yellow flag on the carriage, Liu Biao took a quick step forward and whispered in Yang Ling's ear, "My lord, this is someone from the capital."

    Yang Ling nodded slightly, and stood in front of the door, only to see the carriage stop in front of him, the sedan chair curtain was lifted, and a man in his fifties walked out with a stooped waist, with a thin face and dressed like a palace eunuch.

    Yang Ling lost his voice and said, "Eunuch Liu?" That man was Eunuch Liu, the supervisor of the army. He got out of the carriage, and said to Yang Ling with a pleasant smile: "Yang Yicheng, our family and you are really destined, isn't it  It's only been over a month, and we meet again."

    Yang Ling let Eunuch Liu into the lobby, but couldn't figure out why he came.  Ordinarily, since I was promoted to Jinyiwei and served as a fifth-rank acquaintance, I don¡¯t need the presence of eunuchs in the palace. When eunuchs go out of the palace, they are usually ordered to supervise the army, collect taxes, and buy palace supplies. They rarely summon anyone below the third rank.  The officials also asked the eunuch to bring the imperial decree to proclaim.

    Sixteen warriors stepped into the hall and stood on both sides, with their hands on their waists and knives without looking sideways. Eunuch Liu walked to the center of the hall, turned around, coughed, and said loudly, "Yang Ling, the postman of Jiming County, accepts the order!"

    Yang Ling was at a loss and looked at a loss. He was very surprised when he heard that the emperor issued an imperial edict to him.  Fortunately, Eunuch Liu has seen many such officials. The imperial decree is not a newspaper. How many officials actually received the imperial decree?  He smiled slightly, held the yellow silk in his hands and said softly: "Yang Yicheng, just kneel down and listen to the announcement!"

    Yang Ling glanced at him gratefully, then quickly knelt down on his knees, and said, "Chen Yang Ling listens to the announcement."  Kneeling down for someone for the first time, Yang Ling felt a little uncomfortable. He might be doing as the Romans do, at least he didn't have the guts to resist.

    Eunuch Liu slowly unfolded the yellow silk, and said loudly: "Following the heavens, the emperor issued an imperial edict: I have heard that the three generations have won the world by winning the people. Therefore, the people are the foundation of the country. The ancient sages have said: the journey of the great way is also  , the world is for the public"

    Eunuch Liu shook his head and cadenced while reading.  Yang Ling listened to Eunuch Liu read those classical Chinese passages. Although he understood the meaning, it was quite difficult for him to listen.  After a long while, I heard Eunuch Liu read the main topic: "he is the old people, the lord of the country, the emperor controls the world on behalf of the people, and the king, he preaches trust and harmony, and selects the virtuous and capable. Today's prince  , Smart and eager to learn, I heard that Yang Ling, a scholar in the Xuanfu, is both virtuous and capable, and very kind. I believe that Xuan Yangling will go to Beijing and serve as the prince's attendant. Hearing the edict, he will enter Beijing immediately without delay. This is the eighteenth year of Hongzhi in February.  "

    Yang Ling was baffled by what he heard, the prince attendant?  Isn't Jin Yiwei acquainted?  He suddenly thought of what Ma Lian'er said that night: Is promotion in the officialdom a joke?  The principle of the center, it is even more impossible for someone in Beijing to be so kind, to promote you to the official for no reason, we have to think about it, we can't let people cheat"

    Yang Ling suddenly understood, it's no wonder that Jin Yiwei rushed to promote his official position, it turned out that he heard that the emperor wanted him to serve as the prince's attendant, the icing on the cake came.  Although the prince's attendant is a sixth-rank official, he is actually a classmate of the prince. Once the prince ascends the throne, how can these people who are closest to the prince not be reused?

    My postman was originally just a peripheral official of Jinyiwei, but now this official has become a cadre of Jinyiwei's center. Once appointed, he will draw the future emperor's confidantes into his camp, of course he will not suffer.

    Seeing that he was still kneeling there blankly, Eunuch Liu said in a low voice: "Yang Yicheng, why don't you accept the order to thank you?"My waist straightened up: Why do you care so much?  What emperor Zhengde, what treacherous minister Liu Jin, my life is as short as grass, that is not for me to worry about, my purpose is to go to the capital, become a high-ranking official, and hang out in Beijing!

    The ignorant are fearless, and Yang Ling, who was about to enter the capital with his eyes closed, became blindly optimistic.

    *******************************************

    Like a gust of wind, Ma Lian'er blew to the post office, and in a blink of an eye, he rode out and went straight to Beicheng.  The sound of the bowl-sized horseshoes trampling on the bluestone slabs was like rain.  The horse left the city quickly, and there was no trace of the carriage in the wilderness. Ma Lian'er held the reins and lingered under the city gate for a while.  Pass the past, take a shortcut and run forward.

    The dark green cloak made a hunting sound in the air, her heart was so anxious, the cruel brother Yang didn't even have time to wait for me to meet, why did he leave in such a hurry?  This farewell, it will take three years before we can see each other again.

    The horse is as fast as flying. Under her superb riding skills, the red horse flies with all four hooves, like an arrow off the string. The land of the ridge runs to a small river at the end. The red horse flies past, splashing broken jade, far away  From a distance, she saw the carriage moving slowly along the mountain road, Ma Lian'er was ecstatic in her heart, she swung the horse's head, along the small river and the carriage halfway up the mountain and down the mountain, chasing after him relentlessly.

    The mountain is changing, in front is a semi-circular valley, the carriage turns halfway, and this side is a cliff facing the abyss.  The red horse in hot pursuit.  Liu Biao couldn't help but stood up and looked down the mountain, and shouted: "There is a lady at the bottom of the mountain chasing us."

    After hearing this, Yang Ling and You Niang got out of the carriage in a hurry, only to see a red horse and a green cloud slowly approaching from the foot of the mountain.  Han Youniang couldn't help shouting: "It's Sister Lian'er, Mr. Lian'er, Sister Lian'er is here."

    Yang Lian hurriedly called the coachman to stop the car, stood on the shaft and looked down the mountain, Ma Lianer also stopped the horse, standing there quietly one by one.  A cliff that cannot be climbed, so that the two can only face each other far away.

    Ma Lian'er stared at him for a while, and saw Yang Ling waved to him, and then signaled the carriage to move on, but he still stood at the front of the carriage and looked at him.  Ma Lian'er's heart was agitated, she suddenly pulled out the small scimitar at her waist, quickly cut off a strand of hair, and hastily tied it to the shaft of an arrow.

    The carriage moved slowly, as long as it turned out of this valley road, it would disappear from her sight.  Ma Lian'er suddenly lifted the reins, and put her legs on the horse's belly, Xi Yuyu neighed, and the valley reverberated endlessly.

    In the middle of the mountain, Yang Ling and a group of warriors all looked into the valley, and saw the red horse man stand up, and after a moment of effort, he flew with all four hooves. The bay red horse rushed forward with incomparable speed.  It is the cliff of Death Valley, only about thirty feet away.

    The fast horse is galloping, and the distance of twenty feet is within a flash. If you charge forward at such a speed, one person and one horse will be killed on the rock wall, and the people on the mountain can't help but scream.  But Ma Lian'er's fast horse suddenly turned at a right angle of nearly 90 degrees, abandoned the rein, picked up the bow, twisted the body, and drew the arrow, all in one go, the movements were neat and graceful, which made people shake their heads.

    Liu Biao, Yang Yiqing and several soldiers in the army couldn't help cheering loudly.  The families of high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the capital more or less kept some Tatar officials, they were Mongolian warriors whom they admired, and they had seen those people perform the riding and archery skills of the great yuan iron cavalry in the past.

    Mongols are the most skilled in riding and archery. Ma Lianer's skill in riding and drawing arrows is exactly the same as that of the warriors who are excellent in riding and archery among Tatar officials. It is shown by a young girl, which is even more indescribable.

    Yang Ling's carriage was about to turn around the stone cliff in front of him, and the moment he left Ma Lian'er's sight, he heard three arrows coming from Tu Tu Tu, and they hit the flagpole an arm's length away in front of Yang Ling, and the tails of the arrows were still buzzing.  , The coachman who was sitting under the pole trembled in fright, and almost fell off the cart.

    The carriage moved slowly, and there was a patch of green grass in front of the cliff, and Lian'er at the foot of the mountain could no longer be seen.  Three sharp arrows were shot on the pole in a straight line, the middle arrow was tied with a strand of black silk, still flying slowly in the wind.

    Han Youniang stroked her black hair, and said a little sourly, "Sister Lian'er, Sister Lian'er has shaved her hair."

    Yang Ling scratched her nose, looking back at the three sharp arrows and a strand of blue hair tightly nailed to the flagpole, he couldn't help but smiled wryly and thought: "Qingsi, Qingsi, three arrows, three years, this girl won't be like a young lady."  Are you equally dead-eyed?"
