Luo Xin shook his head and said: "Father-in-law, Mongolia is not a rogue, if Alatan Khan's army attacks, most of Yanglin County will not be able to hold it." Therefore, the father-in-law left Yanglin County and went to Jinyang Mansion, but there was one less danger. ”

Zhou Tingyu nodded lightly, in this regard, he did escape because of this promotion. It's just that the thought that he is likely to become a scapegoat, the look on his face is still not good-looking.

"As for the scapegoat, the father-in-law doesn't need to be too pessimistic, you have been an official in Yanglin County for many years, and you are no stranger to those officials in Jinyang Mansion, so you are not a newcomer to Jinyang."

"That's right." A smile appeared on Zhou Tingyu's face: "I still have some connections in Jinyang Mansion. ”

"As long as your stepfather shows your ability in your position, coupled with your connections, as long as Jinyang Mansion is not broken, you should be able to survive this crisis."

"What am I capable of? How? ”

"Father-in-law, the prefect should know about the border pass, right?"

"Hmm!" Zhou Tingyu nodded and said, "If there is really something at the border pass, as the prefect of Jinyang Mansion, he will definitely know about it." ”

"Then I think my father-in-law should visit the prefect as soon as possible, first, to thank the prefect for his promotion, even if you don't become the prefect's henchman, don't let him treat you as a political enemy. On the other hand, you can inform him that during your private visit to Weifu, you learned from the people who came back from outside the customs that there was an abnormality in Mongolia, and reminded the prefect to prepare early. This will make the prefect feel that you are a capable, diligent, and considerate person, and he will surely repay the favor. ”

Zhou Tingyu sat there, his face kept changing, and finally nodded: "That's it, I'll go to Jinyang Mansion tomorrow to see the prefect." ”

"Bring more servants in case of Mongol spies." Luo Xin said in a condensed voice.

Zhou Tingyu's expression changed, and he nodded solemnly. Luo Xin said again: "Father-in-law, don't mention me in front of the prefect, just say that it is the person who came back from outside the customs that you found during your private visit to Weifu." ”

"Father-in-law knows. You don't want to show your abilities. Zhou Tingyu paused and said, "However, I still want to thank you." ”

When I returned home from the Zhou Mansion, as soon as I entered the house, I saw Lu Yuan standing there with Lu Zhonglian, Liang Dazhu and other people, as well as Die'er and other maids, neatly saluting Luo Xin, and shouting with a smile on their faces:

"Congratulations to Childe for winning the first place in the county trial!"

Luo Xin laughed "haha", waved his hand at Lu Yuanyi and said, "Reward!" ”

"Gongzi Xie!"

Everyone gave another salute, and Luo Xin strode away. He didn't say how much he would reward, Lu Yuan would take care of everything. Instead of returning to his room, he walked towards the hall. He knew that today was the release of the list, and his parents must have gone to see it, and they must have been waiting for him in the hall at this time. When he entered the hall, he found that the two brothers Lu Tingfang and Dai'er were also there. As soon as she saw Luo Xin come in, Dai Er jumped up from her chair, ran in small steps and squatted in front of Luo Xin and said:

"Little brother. Congratulations on winning the first place in the county trial! ”

Luo Xin touched his body, and finally took out a small silver ingot of one or two and stuffed it into Dai'er's small hand, and said heroically:

"Reward!"

Dai'er looked at the small silver ingots in her hand and pouted, "That's it?" ”

"Puff ......" Zhang Yunniang, the sister-in-law in the hall, laughed silently.

"Hahaha......"

Everyone in the hall laughed. Lu Tingfang also laughed silently, he knew that his daughter was not a greedy person, but because she was familiar with Luo Xin, she was squeezing Luo Xin. So he laughed and shook his head. I didn't blame Dale.

Looking at Dai'er's sly gaze, Luo Xin spread his hands and said, "This is the only silver on my brother's body, and I will give it to you at once." What do you think? Brother is generous, right? ”

"Hahaha......"

The crowd laughed even more. Luo Xin had just stepped forward one by one to salute, and at this time, Dai'er had already returned to her seat and sat there dignifiedly.

"Xin'er, that's good."

Lu Tingfang's face was full of red light, as if he was as excited as he was admitted to the Jinshi that year, but he was still suppressing his emotions and was a lot more subtle. But Lu Tingjiang was much more direct, walked straight to Luo Xin, patted Luo Xin's shoulder and said excitedly:

"Xin'er, do well in the test, do well in the test!"

At this time, his parents and sister-in-law also congratulated him, and Luo Xin was not a little humble about the congratulations of his parents, teachers and sister-in-law, and accepted them all. Your own family, there is no need to be so polite. And Luo Xinfei's parents and sister-in-law, as well as Lu Tingfang's brothers, also enjoyed this atmosphere of not alienating, so Lu Tingjiang was even more clamoring to have a drink. Luo Ping naturally ordered a banquet, Luo Xin had just finished eating in the Zhou Mansion, but he still accompanied his family to eat again, and finally returned to his courtyard with a bulging belly.

"Childe, are you drunk?" Chunhua heard footsteps in the house, hurriedly ran out, and saw Luo Xin swaying there, so she trotted over to help Luo Xin. Butterfly, who was following Chunhua, hurriedly turned around and ran to the room.

"Childe, I'll stew you a sobering soup."

"I'm not drunk!" Luo Xin gasped and said, "It's overeat!" ”

"Puff ......"

Butterfly's feet slipped, and she lay on the ground, while Chunhua, who was supporting Luo Xin, had already smiled and bent over......

In the evening of the next day, Zhou Tingyu hurried back. The news brought back was that Alatan Khan had indeed made a move, but he had not yet assembled an army, but news came from the grassland that Alatan Khan was preparing to invade Daming again.

Alatan Khan did not hide the news of the invasion of Daming at all, in his opinion, Daming is a group of broilers, they can come to burn and loot at any time, Daming is prepared and unprepared, there is no difference. And in fact, it is exactly like this, since the rise of Alatan Khan, he has not stopped using troops against the Ming Dynasty, and the armament of the Ming Dynasty is simply miserable.

When Alatan Khan's troops besieged Beijing, there were Ming troops around him who fought out of fear, and they actually 'howled and shook the sky'. The Beijing army is so festering, the border guards are also bad, the soldiers of the border towns of the Ming Dynasty have fled seriously due to land annexation and other reasons, many military towns and guards are missing more than half, and there are also factors such as corruption in the army, and the morale of the soldiers is also low, for many years, the Mongols come, the Ming army runs, the Mongols kill, the Ming army hides, the Mongolian army loots, and the Ming army looks lively, this is a fixed script that the Ming Dynasty border has to stage every year, and the defeat is already a habit.

Therefore, Alatan Khan was not worried about the leakage of his preparation to attack the Ming Dynasty at all, but instead publicized it, causing pressure and panic to the Ming border army.
