I replied that the 10,000-strong army had arrived in Yijinai, and after Huang Taiji went to "meet", the elderly guard beside him also disappeared. Zhang Fan and they have long known it, and they have not broken it.

On this day, I replied to dress up and entered the city with the escort to start formal negotiations with Wang Xilie. Zhang Fan still did not go again, but stayed in the city. Zhao Ming sent people to investigate the army of Ap, and found that it was really well-equipped, strong and powerful, and seemed to be harmless to people and animals, but it was hiding killing intentions everywhere.

After Zhang Fan listened to his report, he was also worried.

On this day, Zhang Fan still swaggered through the market as usual, because the day before yesterday Zhang Fan collected medicinal materials on a large scale, and he was quite generous, many herdsmen were very good at Zhang Fan's image, and greeted Zhang Fan warmly, and Zhang Fan was also approachable in response.

Zhang Fan and Wang Meng walked across the street and were about to go back. When passing through an alley, a figure suddenly burst out and bumped into Zhang Fan while standing unsteadily. Wang Meng was greatly surprised, he didn't feel this person's breath at all, and couldn't help but get nervous. Zhang Fan didn't know it, and held the man to see that he was guarding a young woman.

Different from the rough skin of northerners who are exposed to the wind and sun all year round, such a girl's pretty face looks white and delicate, and a pair of phoenix eyes are pitiful but also full of affection. Dressed in the clothes of an ordinary Tatar girl, lying in Zhang Fan's arms, her whole body seemed to be delicate without the slightest strength.

Zhang Fan was also fascinated by this amorous woman, but fortunately, his characterization was not bad, so he immediately came back to his senses and hurriedly held the arms of the woman in his arms. Even in a thick cotton dress, Zhang Fan could feel the delicacy of her jade arms. The woman slowly stood up, but her body rubbed against Zhang Fan intentionally or unintentionally, and this unattractive method really made Zhang Fan a little distracted.

The woman said in a panic, "I...... I'm so reckless, thank you Childe! ”

The sound blew into Zhang Fan's ears like a spring breeze, making him suddenly feel a trace of heat rising from his lower abdomen. Zhang Fan was a little surprised, and thought: "Could it be that I have only been away from Ruxue for a few days, and it is so unbearable!" Hurriedly guarded his mind and said to the woman: "Don't worry, why is the girl so flustered, didn't she meet a villain?" ”

When the woman heard Zhang Fan's words, she was a little embarrassed, and said with a twist: "No, I'm ...... I went out alone, and I was a little scared to walk in an alley where there were no people. ”

Zhang Fan listened to it and said with a smile: "Hehe, the girl doesn't have to be afraid, how can you use a villain to commit murder in broad daylight!" ”

The woman listened to Zhang Fan's words and bowed down slightly to thank Zhang Fan. Wang Meng had not relaxed his vigilance on the side, and the moment the woman leaned down, the occasional glimmer of silver light flashed from the bush of hair made him a little clearer.

The woman just stared at Zhang Fan, and said in a coquettish voice: "The name of the concubine is quite awkward, and the concubine has a Chinese name, called Li Yingyue." The concubine looks at the son like a person here, and I don't know the ...... of the child."

"The girl has good eyesight, in Xia Zhang Fan, she is an official of the Ming Dynasty, and this party came to this northern land to discuss the matter of mutual markets with the Khan." Zhang Fan didn't know how to tell a Tatar woman who met for the first time, and Wang Meng didn't stop him.

This woman is very bold, even Zhang Fan, the person she met for the first time, invited her to dinner very much, and she excused herself and went.

Zhang Fan took her to one of the few restaurants in Yiji, and Li Yingyue saw that many people greeted Zhang Fan warmly, and her attitude was very respectful, so she couldn't help but be curious, and asked, "Zhang Gongzi must be very famous." ”

Zhang Fan smiled and said: "The girl praised it falsely, Zhang was just ordered by the imperial court, and it is not worth mentioning." ”

The two came to the restaurant, and in the middle, Li Yingyue asked Zhang Fan some questions very enthusiastically, Zhang Fan was also not afraid, and even secretly revealed that he was entrusted by the emperor and had a holy order. When Li Yingyue heard it, she only showed her daughter's amazed look, and did not show anything else.

"I've been in the city for a few days, and I've never seen a girl like that." Zhang Fan asked.

"The concubine is at home on weekdays, but today she feels bored, so she went out." Li Yingyue said.

Through the conversation, Zhang Fan knew that Li Yingyue's father was a Tatar, but her mother was Han, and her mother was taught by the rules of the Han people, which made her act like a Han woman.

When they were about to separate, Li Yingyue showed a rather reluctant expression and said, "It's been a long time to go out today, and if you don't go again, you will make my mother anxious." Just ......"

Zhang Fan listened and said generously: "If the girl has something to say, it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Li Yingyue said wryly: "I don't know if I can see Zhang Gongzi tomorrow?" That expression clearly showed that she had taken a fancy to Zhang Fan.

Zhang Fan hurriedly responded again and again. Looking at the woman's distant back, Zhang Fan's smiling expression cooled down, and he wanted Wang Meng to signal. Wang Meng understood, walked up to a Ming Shang and whispered a few words, and the Ming Shang immediately ordered his two men to follow behind the woman.

When the two returned to their residence, Zhang Fan said to Wang Meng: "What clues do you see?" ”

Wang Meng nodded and said: "Yes, this woman is not simple, when she first appeared, she didn't notice her aura at all, if she wasn't born delicate and abnormal, then she was specially trained." ”

"Although this woman is dressed as a tartar, a discerning person can see it at a glance, and if she approaches me with a purpose, I am afraid that she will not be afraid that I will find out her identity at all." Zhang Fan said, "But it's okay to let their eyes stare at me, so that Zhao Qianhu can also act." It's just that I don't know who sent her. ”

"Although I don't know who sent her, I can tell you roughly where she is from." Wang Meng said.

"Oh? Will you still be able to see it? Zhang Fan deliberately quipped.

"If you want to talk about looks, I think adults know better." Wang Meng has been following Zhang Fan for a long time, and he is no longer as dull as usual, and he made a joke without being salty. He was referring to what Zhang Fan said when he met Nurhachi.

Zhang Fan listened to his words, a little helpless, and felt that this Wang Meng was a bit like the trend of developing in the direction of black belly.

Wang Meng continued: "When she saluted the adult, she saw her earrings. It was definitely not the usual style worn by Tatar women, but rather like the earrings of Miao women in the south. ”

Zhang Fan listened to his words, pondered, and muttered, "Miao...... South...... Could it be ......" Zhang Fan suddenly remembered that in the land of Guangxi in southern Xinjiang, the cottages of the Miao, Zhuang and Yao ethnic groups have recently been ready to move, and there was an uprising led by Wei Yinbao during the Jiajing period. This Li Yingyue may be someone sent by a leader over there who is preparing for an uprising, but Zhang Fan is a little confused, what is she doing in Tatar? Do you want to unite the Tatars, but this is not easy, I am now difficult to protect myself, but I also asked the Ming court for peace, and his southern Xinjiang has not yet built much power, I may not be able to look down on them.

"I don't understand, even if she came to join forces with Meda, why did she find me if she didn't say that it would be successful?" Zhang Fan said suspiciously.

"I don't understand this kind of lowly duty." Wang Meng said, "Although the chieftains of the cottage in Guangxi were very fierce when they revolted, the scale was not large, and the largest was only 10,000 people, and it still brought in many people who did not want to revolt to have this scale." Wang Meng said.

"Could it be that they want to make a big move this time?" Zhang Fan seemed to ask.

"It's not impossible, but you don't have to report it." Wang Meng said.

Zhang Fan was very surprised when he heard his words, he didn't think that Wang Meng had a problem, and asked, "Why is this?" ”

Wang Meng said helplessly: "The adults have not been coming to Jinyiwei for a long time, if you have time to look through Jinyiwei's previous records, especially those in the East Factory, you will know." Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, this uprising has never been broken, and if there was no uprising that year, it would make people feel that someone had lied. ”

Zhang Fan listened to his words, a little crying and laughing, he knew that the Ming Dynasty had been in the past three hundred years, and since the beginning of Hongwu, there have been uprisings every year, either dissatisfied with the imperial court, or the local officials bullied too hard, or they wanted to learn from Zhu Yuanzhang to make an emperor do it. At the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang's Jinyiwei and Zhu Di's East Factory were very active in nurturing these sprouts. But gradually, there are more and more places of uprising, which is also a reason for the continuous expansion of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, but the continuous increase in manpower can't deal with so many signs of uprising, not to mention that Dongchang and Jinyiwei have more "important" tasks to monitor hundreds of officials, so even the emperor doesn't care too much, and only sends a small number of people to keep an eye on those signs. If there is an uprising, the local garrison will be sent to suppress it immediately, and it will soon be quelled under the combination of suppression and appeasement; If the scale is large, it is difficult for the imperial court to quickly exterminate it, so it will issue an order to recruit the chieftain, divide its interior, and then slowly eliminate hidden dangers.

Zhang Fan smiled very bitterly, but in a blink of an eye, this was also brought by Zhu Yuanzhang, who called him the first person in China to sit on the throne with a peasant uprising!

While the two were talking, Zhao Ming walked in, saluted Zhang Fan, and said, "My lord, the woman you asked me to check on lives in a private house in the city, and there is only her and a person she calls her mother in the family. However, he inquired about the surrounding residents, and they all said that this woman had lived here for a long time, but there was something strange. ”

"Strange, what's wrong?" Zhang Fan said.

"The lowly subordinates are all old rivers and lakes, and they can see that those residents have some flickering words, and they will tell the truth when they give some gold and silver." Zhao Ming said, "It is said that this woman only moved in here yesterday evening. ”

"Yesterday ......" Zhang Fan pondered for a while and asked, "When did the army division of my answer arrive?" ”

"It was yesterday evening." Wang Meng replied immediately.

Zhang Fan suddenly realized and said, "It seems that this woman is really here to ask for help." At that moment, he told Zhao Ming the identity of the woman.

"But why is she eyeing adults?" Zhao Ming listened to his words and realized a little, but he was still a little puzzled.

"I don't know, but I can guess." Zhang Fan said, "She must have been eyeing me because she was in trouble this time when she came to ask for help." Either the Tatars rejected her completely, and she had no choice but to shift her target; Either the Tatar did not agree, but did not refuse either, and she approached me just to show them sincerity. ”

"It seems that the adults have succeeded in attracting the attention of these people." Zhao Ming said.

"Of course, my job is to get the attention of these people and cover for you." Zhang Fan said.

"I'm just afraid that adults will be in danger because of this." Zhao Ming was a little worried about Zhang Fan's safety.

"It's okay, I swagger through the market every day, but I don't do anything threatening, they will never touch me." Zhang Fan said, "What's more, with Wang Meng by my side, nothing will happen." ”

"Then how are you going to deal with this woman?" Zhao Ming asked.

"Then it's up to her to deal with me, and I'll see the move." Zhang Fan said very casually.

Zhao Ming asked a little teasingly: "If this woman shows her beauty tricks, ** adults ......"

Zhang Fan didn't think about this problem, and said: "I haven't thought about this, but if this is the case, wouldn't she suffer a loss." "Men really don't do anything good together.

The three of them laughed, and even Wang Meng laughed twice. Zhang Fan said: "Okay, you Zhao Ming, are you planning to ventilate with Ru Xue after you go back?" ”

"Madame is empathetic, and she will definitely forgive your actions." Zhao Ming also made a joke, but then said seriously, "I think adults might as well beat the snake and stick it, pretending to be confused by this woman, so that you may be able to know what she wants to do." ”

Zhang Fan pondered for a while, nodded and said, "You're right, you can't get anything by blindly guarding against it, I want to see what this Miao woman wants." ”
