What the result of Qi Jiguang's negotiation with Shen Maoxue was, Wang Fulin didn't know, and he was not interested in asking at all. But what he knows very well is that no matter how Shen Maoxue admires Qi Jiguang, a well-known southeast celebrity, no matter how much Qi Jiguang admires Shen Maoxue, a famous man in the southeast, it is just a private matter, and it is absolutely impossible for Qi Jiguang to recommend Shen Maoxue to the imperial court or to Zhang Juzheng on the bright side. From the Ming Dynasty to the present, civil officials can recommend martial artists, but military generals can recommend literati...... That would be tantamount to putting that man of man in opposition to the majority of civil servants.

When Wang Fulin Xiaobei and his uncle and nephew of the Shen family traveled from Xifengkou, it was already the third day after Qi Jiguang left this place and returned to Santun Camp.

Because it was the middle of winter, everyone was well prepared, from the spare mounts, the mules that drove Li, and the linoleum tents for camping in bad weather, plus Shen Duan's secondment, including Zhong Nanfeng, the three of them, the three guides who were most familiar with this section of the road, and a wild veterinarian who was known as quite proficient in human and animal medicine and Wangyun techniques, with a total number of nearly thirty people, and horses and mules were full of fifty, which can be said to be quite a large team.

Even so, the three veteran guides, who were very familiar with the terrain, still gave everyone a wake-up call early. If you don't encounter heavy snowfall, there will be no danger along the way, but if the weather changes suddenly, it will slow down the trip, but there is no problem with accommodation.

The Great Wall of Jizhen to the east of Santunying in Jizhen is much slower than that in the west in terms of the overall repair progress. The reason is very simple, the passes in the west are closer to Changping and Miyun, and that side is the northwest gateway of the capital, once there is a mistake, it will endanger the Jingshi, so the construction of the side wall naturally has the highest priority. Even so. Along the way, Wang Fulin still deeply realized that the so-called Great Wall is not just a weak side wall, and that it is less than 100 meters, or even 80 meters, that is, the pass, the gate, the fortress, the camp and the castle, and the whole radial defense system of the stars and guards.

He's kind of really able to see it. What is called less than thirty or forty miles, there is a city!

However, not all the castles were rebuilt as soon as they were like Xifengkou because of the tribute road. From Xifengkou to Liujiakou on the bank of the Qinglong River, everyone trekked for eight days, but they never slept in the open, but some of the places such as Qingshankou, Taipingzhai and Lengkou have been completed, and some have been repaired for more than half. Therefore, the accommodation conditions of the people are also good and bad, sometimes they can only take snow water to boil to quench their thirst, and boil the fried rice and dried meat and vegetables into chowder porridge to satisfy hunger. For such conditions, the children of the family, such as the Shen family's uncles and nephews and Wang Fulin, and the women dressed as men such as Xiaobei and Bizhu, did not say a word.

After all, this journey is what they are willing to take, and everyone else is just accompanying them in this cold winter!

When arriving at Liujiakou Guancheng. Referring to the previous situation when I was in the cold mouth, because the guide didn't specifically remind me on the way. Everyone thought that they could take a hot bath comfortably, drink some hot soup and eat something good, but when they arrived at the ground, with Shen Duan's handwritten letter and the road guide personally signed by Wang Fulin's Shuntianfu Yin, the group passed through the old water-crossing building and saw many collapsed houses in the city that had not yet been rebuilt. Except for a few guides who often came and went to these places, even the personal soldiers of Shen Duan, the general of Xifengkou, couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths.

What a bleak and broken! It's more broken than the most humble fortress on the road!

Shen Maoxue, who had read more than 10,000 volumes, even whispered: "I remember that Emperor Chengzu avoided Xifengkou back then, went out of Liujiakou, went north on a starry night, and went to Daning to capture King Ning alive. The person who subdued Duoyan Sanwei has always wanted to pay homage to this closed city, but he didn't expect it to become like this......"

"Behind Liujiakou Pass, there is Liujiaying Castle, garrison Tuntian, support here, it has always been good in the past. It is estimated that the blizzard collapsed the house a month ago, because it was the middle of winter and had to be roughly tidied up. Fortunately, Qi Dashuai has been playing the imperial court before, and when the side wall is repaired, it will be rebuilt together with the Liujiakou Pass, and the next time Mr. Shen and Wang Gongzi come together, they will definitely be able to see the scene of Xiongguan. Lao Huang, one of the guides, was extremely good at observing words and feelings, explaining the dilapidated place while putting gold on the coach's face. But at the same time, he realized that tonight's accommodation in Liujiakou City was obviously very problematic.

Because of Wang Fulin's request, Qi Jiguang skillfully entrusted Wang Fulin and his party and the Shen family's uncle and nephew to Shen Duan, the general of Xifengkou, and took himself out, so as not to be too alarmed, but the consequence is that although Shen Duan's grade is second only to the general army and the deputy general soldier of the assistant guard, there are many military achievements, but the prestige is lacking in shortcomings, and it is difficult to make all the cities along the way take care of this line-up. For example, at this time, Ye Sizhong, the thousand general manager stationed in Liujiakou Guancheng, did not even have a shadow.

However, Ye Sizhong is Qi Jiguang's old subordinate when he was fighting against the Japanese, his father Ye Dazheng was a student at the age of Tai, followed Qi Jiguang to level the Japanese, and made a lot of achievements, but finally died because of the recurrence of arrow sores, Ye Sizhong was one of the few officers in the Qi family army who followed Qi Jiguang north to Jizhen, even if Lao Huang heard about Wang Fulin's family history from Shen Duan, he didn't dare to give Ye Sizhong eye medicine casually. He instructed the other two guides to take care of the group, and he hurried to find his old connections, and used all the means of coercion and inducement, and at last he hurried back to tell the people that he had obtained a total of four rooms.

When they go out and lie down in their clothes, Wang Fulin and Xiaobei have long been used to it. But because many houses collapsed in Liujiakou Guancheng, accommodation was particularly tight, and Ye Sizhong, the head of Qian, avoided it, so everyone had to live in one room with seven or eight people. Wang Fulin's four entourages were all veterans of the Zhejiang army who knew the identity of the husband and wife, and they were all very nervous when they knew that they were going to be crowded in one room, not to mention the awkwardness, and what made them even more unacceptable was that the house was leaking on all sides, and they even had to solve the stove by themselves. If Wang Fulin hadn't held it down, they couldn't help but want to rush to someone to judge.

"Save it, the name of General Shen of Xifengkou is not easy to use, is it still in the name of Qi Dashuai? Isn't it just to build a makeshift stove, it's not like I haven't done this before! ”

"That's it, just stay for one night, so what do you care?" When Xiaobei said this, he suddenly looked at Wang Fulin with a smile and said, "I always eat chowder porridge along the way, do you want to show your hand?" Just now, Lao Huang only got these few rooms. I probably didn't want to go, I just sent a piece of bacon, and I don't know where I got it. ”

For Wang Fulin, the poor living is barely bearable, after all, even if it was ordered by Wang Daokun to go to Jizhen, he asked to go to Liaodong himself. The things to eat are so simple and rough all day long, and as a foodie, he has long been a little unable to hold back. Therefore, when he saw what Bizhu took out, he immediately rolled up his sleeves without saying a word and said, "Then you still need to say?" Lady, find out the chili powder for me, you guys, build a makeshift stove, and then there's it. Remove the fat from the bacon, otherwise you have to find a place to get oil, and find a wooden shovel to dry the vegetables with water......"

Wang Fulin was like a general dispatcher, and he sent all the people to do this and that, and waited until the stove outside the door was set up, the fire was lit, and the iron pot was already carried on the road. After washing, he put it on the stove and began to do it himself. See this scene. Shen Yourong, who happened to leave the house, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and after a while, he got into his house and dragged his uncle Shen Maoxue out alive. The uncle and nephew saw Wang Fulin jumping up and down next to the stove, and they didn't know what to say. But Shen Mao learned to be in his thirties, so he just shook his head.

"A gentleman cooks far away, but that's a metaphor for a saint. It's not that a gentleman can't cook. Shiqing's virtuous brother is a true temperament, and it is just for fun. ”

Seeing that his uncle smiled and went into the house, Shen Yourong was not convinced. He was so sincere to ask Wang Fulin for the sake of joining the army, but Wang Fulin didn't say yes or no, but perfunctory. This made him very unhappy. At this moment, he simply decided to stay and see what was in the pot, and he didn't know how long he had waited, but he heard Wang Fulin command: "Lady, add chili!" ”

Wife? Where did the lady come from? Wait, that person is...... Wang Fulin claimed to be a brother before? Shen Yourong suddenly thought that Wang Daokun had once been the governor of Fujian, and he heard Shen Maoxue say that in Fujian, what kind of customs such as the deed brother are extremely prevalent, does Wang Fulin also have that habit? But just when he only felt goosebumps falling to the ground, an extremely choking smell suddenly wafted in the wind, and he was caught off guard and coughed continuously, which immediately alarmed the people in the other side. He almost didn't cough his throat, and he didn't have time to react at all, when he found that Wang Fulin's four entourages were surrounded by unkind expressions.

At this moment, he heard Wang Fulin shouting again: "What are you guys doing around Shihong?" He must have smelled the delicious food and wanted to come over to eat. Carry people into the house, and good things for everyone to share. ”

Shen Yourong was about to say that he was not interested in this choking dish, but he couldn't help the four cold-faced guys pushing and shoving, but he couldn't use force, so he could only be pushed into Wang Fulin's house involuntarily. As soon as he entered the door, he smelled the strong pungent smell again, however, what attracted his attention even more was Xiaobei beside Wang Fulin. Seeing that he stretched out his hand to wash his face in the basin of water on the side, and when he straightened his waist, the floating ash on his face was washed away, and it was just a uniform plain face, and after untying the fox fur scarf, it was obvious that there was no Adam's apple, and he gasped and realized that he had seen something extremely remarkable.

"I think you just heard it all when you came to Shihong. To introduce, this is the Neicotyle. ”

Nacotyledon? Neiko seems to be able to only describe his wife, but he still remembers that on the road, Wang Fulin's "righteous brother" seems to have shot a hare with a flying knife...... Is it really Wang Fulin's wife?

Shen Yourong's mouth was already wide open, and seeing the expressions of the four entourages around him who were not strange at all, he couldn't help but ask them for verification: "What Wang Gongzi said is true?" ”

got almost the same eyes from the four of them, and saw Wang Fulin start to distribute the dried vegetables and spicy fried bacon in the pot, Shen Yourong didn't have time to say anything more and was divided into a portion, and he ate some dizzily, and he immediately felt the difference. Because the stock of chili peppers is limited, this time it is genuine only for seasoning, and there is no too heavy taste, and he got used to it at once. But he didn't eat two bites of the hot steamed bun, and he suddenly shouted: "Ningguo Mansion City opened a Huizhou restaurant before, I remember that many people have said that the dishes stir-fried with chili peppers are delicious, isn't this it?" ”

"Well, if I'm not mistaken, that restaurant still has 30% of my shares." Seeing Shen Yourong's face full of incredulity, Wang Fulin said with a smile, "Shen Gongzi, you told me a secret of yours before, and today, I have also calculated my secret for you, and I have smoothed it out." So the favor you asked me to help later. ”

Shen Yourong is very interesting, why didn't you see that Shen Maoxue didn't object?

PS: In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, there were actually a lot of scholars from Rong, of course, mainly at the level of students, such as county students, government students, prison students, or just scholars from the scholarly family. Of course, when you get the exam, you want to be an official, and it is impossible to be a pawn. I think someone should Baidu over the Shen family's uncles and nephews, they are all fierce people...... I'm not fierce at all, I ask for a monthly pass (to be continued.) )
