    ~¡¶¡·~ Two Hundred and Seventy-Five Distant Guests (Part 1)

    It¡¯s October in the golden autumn, and the air is crisp and clear.

    It was a sunny autumn day, and on the road from Shuozhou to Dongping, a dozen people on horseback were moving forward.  At first glance, you can tell that this is a group of people who have experienced a long journey. They are dusty and dressed like traveling merchants, but they do not bring any goods, and they only have a bag tied to the horse.  Seeing the long and bulging luggage, experienced veterans knew that it must contain weapons.  Nowadays, the world is in chaos, the king's law has disappeared, and there are countless thieves and gangs everywhere. The military ban issued by the Wei Dynasty in the past has become ineffective. In today's world, who dares to go far away without bringing protective weapons and gathering a large group of people?

    At dusk, this group of people entered Lianjiang Mansion in Dongping.  Along the way, there are village houses and nomadic herders along the road. You can see the continuous pastures and large fields. Snow-white sheep are scattered in the green fields. Nomadic girls in bright clothes are driving the sheep with their whips.  , while singing shepherd songs, the melodious and high-pitched tune spread far away, and pedestrians on the road felt refreshed when they heard it.

    Along the way, we saw many decaying towns and ruins that were destroyed by war. Unexpectedly, in the northern Xinjiang, which was rumored to be wild and war-torn, everyone was surprised to see such a peaceful and peaceful scene.

    "The scenery of the North Country is vast and majestic, which makes people open-minded. Compared with the beautiful scenery of our Jiangnan landscape, it has a different flavor. Lord Changshi, is this your first time coming to Northern Xinjiang?"

    The person called "Lord Changshi" is a middle-aged man in his forties. He is short, fair-skinned, with a neat beard on his lips, and his jet-black hair is neatly combed.  Although he was tired from the long journey, his waist was still straight. He was obviously a man of determination and perseverance.  When he heard the words, he looked back at his companion and said reproachfully: "Mr. Shen, please be careful what you say."

    Mr. Shen was also a middle-aged man in his forties with an ordinary appearance. He rushed forward and explained: "Master Chang Shi, there is no need to worry. Once we enter Dongping territory, we have entered the jurisdiction of the governor. The safety is determined  No more worries.¡±

    "Why did Mr. Shen say that? I heard, I heard, that Mr. Shen and the Governor once had a relationship? I would like to know what the Governor's temperament is like? Because we are about to deal with him, and this matter is related  It¡¯s important and affects our safety, Mr. Shen, you¡¯d better not hide it.¡±

    When Mr. Shen mentioned this, his expression suddenly changed.  Looking around, he sighed: "Now that your Excellency knows it, Beizhi doesn't dare to hide it - the so-called one-sided relationship is actually just that Beizhi failed in Dongping and was captured by the governor.

    At that time, the Grand Governor had not yet been so powerful. At that time, he was only the guarding inspector of the Dongling Guards in Dongping.  Captured by the Dongling Guards, Beizi thought he was certain to die. Unexpectedly, there was no way to revive the suspicion. The Grand Governor personally interrogated Beizi. After a conversation with Beizi and knowing his identity and purpose, he laughed.  Then he was released from his humble position.  I am also confused and confused.  "

    Shopkeeper Lin stared at him: "Mr. Shen, you did not report this matter to Beifu after you came back."

    "You concealed this matter in your humble position, and you are indeed worthy of death. But my lord, you are the military commander of the Xiangyang garrison, Shi, and an adult in the army. You don't understand the difficulty of our work in the Beifu. We who are Yinghou are most afraid of  The only thing that happened was that they accidentally fell into the hands of the Northland Tomb Guards. Those who couldn't survive the torture, and died, needless to say. But even if you are lucky enough to escape with a narrow escape, you will inevitably be suspicious and suspicious of your superiors and colleagues after you return. Like a humble job  This kind of person was released inexplicably. If he reported it truthfully, even if he had a hundred mouths, he would not be able to explain clearly!

    Why did the White Wolf let me go inexplicably?  Even the humble official himself couldn't figure out this issue, so how could he dare to explain it to the officials of Beifu?  Therefore, Bizong had a thought at the time and did not dare to report it immediately. But the longer it was delayed, the less Bizong dared to mention it.

    Sir, I don¡¯t know where you heard this news.  .  .  "

    "Mr. Shen, you have to know that there is no airtight wall in the world!

    "You were not the only one captured by the Dongling Guards at that time - there were others in the Li Yuanwai family who took you in at that time.  They fled south and finally fell into the hands of our Xiangyang garrison and reported the incident to us.  We were deeply sorry to hear that our Yinghou had fallen into the hands of the Dongling Guards in Northern Xinjiang. We were about to inform Beifu, but suddenly we heard that Mr. Shen had returned safely, so we paid attention to this matter.  "

    Seeing Shen Tiehu's expression changed drastically, Lin Changshi waved his hand: "Mr. Shen, don't worry. This matter is also a secret among our Xiangyang Army. Only the guarding governor and I know about it. We did not report this matter to Beifu, nor  NoCalculation report - Mr. Shen, do you understand what I mean?  So, you don¡¯t have to worry at all and can speak freely.  "

    Shen Tiehu kept nodding his head to express his thanks, but he finally solved the mystery that had been lingering in his mind: He was just an insignificant Little Eagle Marquis. Why did the Xiangyang Governor's Palace specifically ask Beifu to second him to lead the way?  It turns out that the real reason is this. They are not in need of a guide. What they need is an introducer who has dealt with Meng Ju.

    But why did the Xiangyang garrison go to contact a northern warlord like Meng Ju?  Do they want to incite rebellion against Meng Ju?  But that's not right. Instigating the generals of the Northern Kingdom has always been the responsibility of the Beifu. The Xiangyang garrison is a heavily-armed border town, but they do not have this task.  What is Xiangyang's commander-in-chief, Yu Huailie, thinking?

    So many thoughts just flashed through Shen Tiehu's mind, and he said solemnly: "Sir Chang Shi is so righteous, and I can't thank you enough. In this case, my lord, I have something to ask, and I will never hide it. Beiji and Beijiang  I only had a one-time acquaintance with Governor Meng. From a superficial perspective, Governor Meng had a volatile temper, was ruthless in his actions, and decisive in killing. He was indeed a troublesome figure.

    But after confirming my identity as Lord Ying, he no longer kept me in trouble and let me go from my humble position.  It can be seen that this person still seems to have some concerns about our court.  .  .  In other words, he was afraid of my great reputation and did not dare to offend easily.

    But this happened almost a year ago. Meng Ju is fickle and distrustful. I really don¡¯t know what his current intentions are and how he will treat our envoys.  Therefore, if Mr. Changshi intends to meet with him, please consider it carefully.  "

    Lin Changshi nodded, but there was not much worry in his heart - Shen Tiehu was worried about his life safety, but this was actually completely unnecessary.  I have obtained the news from a higher source: Meng Ju appears to be a great warlord who rules the six towns of the Northern Wei Dynasty, but in fact, he has secretly accepted the canonization of the Southern Dynasty long ago, and his true identity is the Ying Yang Colonel of the Jiangdu Forbidden Army in the Southern Dynasty.  Lieutenant.

    The Great Governor of the Six Towns of the Wei Dynasty, Uncle Chicheng, and the first-class military attache of the Northern Dynasty who held heavy troops, were actually the Yinghou spies of the Southern Dynasty?

    Beifu is so powerful, it actually turned against the nobles and first-class generals of the puppet dynasty!

    When he heard the news, Lin Changshi couldn't conceal his shock.  If it weren't for the fact that the person who said this was Marshal Yu Huailie, the supreme commander of Xiangyang Town, Lin Changshi would have thought it was the ravings of an idiot.

    Lin Changshi still remembers the vicissitudes and sadness on the Marshal's face when he spoke.  Thinking of the mission he shouldered, Lin Zhongmao suddenly felt heavy and his face became solemn.

    At this moment, there was a crisp and rapid sound of horse hooves on the road ahead.  Hearing the sound of the rapid approach, the group of people from the Southern Dynasty changed their expressions. Everyone took out their bags from under the horse's belly, quickly prepared for the situation, and were ready to draw out their weapons at any time.

    The sound of horse hooves gradually became louder, and a group of cavalry came. They were all dressed in black, and the knights were tall and powerful. Before anyone arrived, the rough and fierce atmosphere of the wild grassland had already hit their faces.  A large flag was waving in front of the team. On the flag, a ferocious white wolf head stood out - obviously, this was the white wolf patrolling the Dongling Guard.

    Seeing this white wolf head flag, everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief and quickly put their weapons back into their bags.  In other counties and provinces, there may be gangs who dare to pretend to be officers and soldiers to block roads and rob, but in Dongping, this is the province where Dongling Guards control the most tightly. It is absolutely impossible for any gang to dare to pretend to be Dongling Guards and horses.  They must be real officers and soldiers.

    There are about a hundred people in this group of White Wolf Cavalry, all dressed in black uniforms with white wolf head logos sewn on the sleeves and chest.  Seeing the passerby hiding on the side of the road, the leading cavalry officer raised his hand, and the cavalry following behind him all slowed down and stopped.

    A handsome young officer got off his horse and led a few soldiers over. He looked at the group and frowned slightly.  With his experienced eyes, he could naturally see that the group of people in front of him was very strange: they were said to be merchants, but they did not bring any goods; they were said to be family members visiting relatives, and they were all mature men, with no women or children.  The luggage of this group of people was bulging. Looking at its outline, the officer knew at a glance that it must contain weapons.

    Who is this group of people?

    The officer was on guard, his hand on the handle of the knife, but his face didn't show any signs of it: "You guys, take out the road guide."

    At that moment, Shen Tiehu handed over the road guide. The officer hurriedly turned it over and found that it was the road guide issued by Xuzhou Mansion in Jianghuai Town. He was even more confused. He made a secret gesture to his subordinates and asked seemingly casually.  : "Xuzhou Mansion is thousands of miles away from here. What are you doing all the way to Dongping?"
