The red charcoal fire is burning. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the wooden shelf, a fat leg of lamb has been roasted golden brown, and the tempting oil stains drip onto the charcoal fire below, bringing up a few wisps of smoke and making a seductive 'squeak' sound.

At this point, this is already the second leg of roast lamb.

Li Yuanqing and Man Gui also had three or four points of wine.

Li Yuanqing smiled and handed a list to Man Gui, picked up the knife, cut a piece of tender mutton, put it in the rice vinegar on the plate and dipped it, and then put it in his mouth and chewed it.

Man Gui was still silent in the delicacy of roast lamb shank, but when he looked at the list, he couldn't help but be stunned, and after a while, he came back to his senses, and hurriedly looked at Li Yuanqing and said, "Yuanqing, this, this, how can this be so much?" 180,000 taels! You, you go to Nanyang for this trip, you won't go to grab silver, right? ”

Li Yuanqing was about to take a sip of wine at this time, and when he heard Man Gui's words, he almost sprayed him in the face.

However, Man Gui is not stupid, he can be regarded as touching the core of some things.

"Brother Gui, we are businessmen. What is robbery? Those people in Nanyang don't all eat dry rice! However, the business in Nanyang is indeed better than in Daming. This is the money of the Liaonan Commercial Bank, you deserve it, you are good. Tomorrow, after I leave, you will send someone directly to the fleet at the beach to receive it. ”

Man Gui couldn't help but be speechless, and only reacted after a moment, "Yuanqing, this, will this be, will it be a little too much." ”

You must know that this is not a military salary, but a private bank that goes directly into Mangui's own pocket.

Liao's salary is true, but the one who really controls Liao's salary is obviously not a military leader like Man Gui, let alone the big-headed soldiers below.

"Brother Gui, if you want to be polite to me again, I'm going to take it back. Coincidentally, they can also help me get a few more concubines. ”

Only then did Man Gui react, this was by no means Li Yuanqing's joke, and he put away the list with a smile, "Yuanqing, don't worry." I'll send someone to pick it up tomorrow at noon. By the way, Yuanqing, our brothers haven't seen each other for more than a year, don't you stay in Shanhaiguan for a few more days? Although this place is not good, there are still a lot of places to play. Today, you have a good rest, and tomorrow, let's go to the side of the rocks and see if we can hunt some rabbits, wild deer, etc. ”

"A stone?"

Li Yuanqing read it again, and suddenly shook his head and smiled, "Brother Gui, I'm afraid this trip won't work." On the Kyo side, there are still some things that have to be dealt with. Wait until you get back! A piece of stone. I'm going to have to take a good look. ”

The two drank a few more glasses of wine, and with Li Yuanqing's 180,000 taels of silver as support, Man Gui's mood suddenly improved a lot.

He personally cut a large piece of fat roast lamb leg for Li Yuanqing, and said: "Yuanqing, the bird location in Shanhaiguan is even more aggrieved than Ning Yuan." Don't look at my brother as the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan now, but the people who can be called are still those old brothers before. Damn, it's better to be in Ningyuan. Here, you can't even find a place to hunt. ”

Li Yuanqing nodded.

The general army of Shanhaiguan, especially in the late Ming Dynasty, should be a position with great gold content.

But ~~~, because this position is too important, everyone is staring, and many things are more complicated.

At this time, Shanhaiguan was not only the garrison of the Shanhaiguan General Army, but also the garrison of the Governor of Jiliao and the Liaodong Economic Strategy, as well as the eunuch supervision army, the Wenchen supervision army, including the restored Liaodong Governor Yamen, all on this side.

Although Shanhaiguan claims to have more than 20,000 or 30,000 troops at this time, ~, specific to Man Gui, this guy can call and move 5,000 people, plus two or three thousand auxiliaries, which is already amazing.

With so many officers here, how can a mere general soldier be considered a fart?

"Big brother, the ruler is short, and the inch is long. In everything, we still have to think about it. I think Shanhaiguan is good, it's a good place to train soldiers! ”

Man Gui also understood what Li Yuanqing meant, and smiled: "Yuanqing, don't say it, it's really such a reason." It's a pity that I've been sulking and wasting months of hard work! ”

Li Yuanqing smiled: "It's not too late to make amends." Brother Gui, in the future, if you want to camp tents, it still depends on our brothers! ”

Man Gui nodded thoughtfully, "Yuanqing, don't worry." Brother, I've figured it out. By the way, Yuanqing, have you heard about the old slave? ”

…………

Early the next morning, Li Yuanqing and his entourage escorted two carriages to the Jingshi Road.

Although there was no snow today, the wind was very strong, and the ground was still full of the snow whiteness that had been before.

Since the three major campaigns of Wanli, Zhang Gelao's 'one whip method', which was not easy to help the Ming Dynasty, has quickly deflated.

In addition, in recent years, natural and man-made disasters have continued, and Daming's investment in various infrastructure projects is quite limited.

Even if it is the official road from Shanguanhai to Jingshi, it is a bit miserable.

The ground was full of potholes and mule and horse droppings, and even though it was mostly covered by snow, the exposed parts of the surface still made people feel disgusting.

Especially at this time, it is the depths of winter, because the ground is frozen very strong.

But it's not hard to imagine what the road will look like when the weather warms up and freezes.

Regarding this, Li Yuanqing also has some indescribable sadness.

At this time, although the big frame of the Ming Dynasty is still holding on to itself, ~~, everywhere it comes into view, it has already revealed the defeat of the last days.

Even though the scenery at this time is very beautiful, full of the most primitive wildness, and there are not too many people destroying it, unfortunately, Li Yuanqing's interest is still a little incommendable.

In such weather, even if there are more than a thousand war horses, everyone has two horses, and it is impossible to hurry up, not to mention, there are Zhang Yunniang, Qu Minqiu and two carriages.

In the evening, the party camped in the woods by a small river.

Five hundred heavily armed pro-soldiers, well-equipped, Li Yuanqing was not afraid of any blind person who dared to come to him for trouble.

After having dinner with Zhang Yunniang and Qu Minqiu, Li Yuanqing lit a cigar and came to a big tree outside the tent to quietly observe the somewhat vast scenery of the north at night.

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but think of Man Gui's previous words, "Yuan Futai's side should have reported the news of the death of the old slave to the imperial court." This turtle grandson is really not afraid of the wind and flashing his tongue......

However, it is not happy to be unhappy, but Li Yuanqing is clear and clear, this opportunity seized by Inspector Yuan is really poisonous!

Even, maybe he has established a communication channel with Houjin at this time, and can more accurately grasp the general trend of Houjin.

And coupled with the shrewdness of Huang Taiji, this ......

Unless he can break through Shenyang, capture Huang Taiji alive, and confront him face to face, otherwise, this fucking historical mystery is simply unsolvable!

But since it can't be changed, Li Yuanqing doesn't want to worry too much about this matter.

In terms of righteousness, playing 'Empty Glove White Wolf', even if Li Yuanqing is a reborn, he is still far from being the opponent of Inspector Yuan!

Damn it, people are born to be strong contenders for the Oscar, with a mighty aura.

However, Li Yuanqing can't interfere too much in the affairs of Liaoxi, but in the whole general trend, he has the most important opportunity.

Taking a deep puff of the cigar, Li Yuanqing's eyes narrowed slightly.

…………

On the twenty-fifth day of the sixth month of the Apocalypse, Li Yuanqing once again came to the very familiar Guangqu Gate.

Because of the continuous snow in the past few days, the distance that could have been reached in five days has doubled.

Fortunately, the sons and daughters have already been experienced in this area, and they are well-equipped, so there have been no frostbite or injuries, and the war horses are also extremely well-raised.

And the limit of 500 people is just in line with the number of border generals' personal soldiers entering Beijing, and there is no need to camp outside the city, and on the side of the female guards, there are only 50 people, and they are women, which is almost negligible!

At this time, even if it is in Jingshi, who is it? Dare to touch him easily Li Yuanqing's brow?

Entering the city without any waves, Yang Jiao~ Niang had already received the news and was ready for a sumptuous banquet.

After settling the soldiers in the Sanfu Inn and an inn opposite, Li Yuanqing, Yang Jianniang, and Qu Minqiu came to the Wuyu Pavilion as promised.

When three women meet, it is natural to chatter.

Yang Jiao ~ Niang's second child added a daughter to Li Yuanqing, who had just been out of confinement not long ago, and it was a cold winter at this time, and her body was still a little weak, but for Zhang Yunniang and Qu Minqiu, although she was old, she didn't dare to slack off.

Soon, the three women became acquainted.

Li Yuanqing also saw his baby daughter, the little thing is very beautiful and beautiful, Li Yuanqing thought about it for a while, and named her Li Fangxin!

I hope she can live in a warm and happy environment forever like a fragrant flower.

The family had a lively luncheon, but Li Yuanqing didn't have much time to enjoy family affection, but cleaned up, directly greeted Niu Gensheng, and came to the palace gate with a hundred personal soldiers and gifts.

At this time, Gonggong Wei was already in full swing, occupying the throne of 'nine thousand years old', and Gonggong An's side was also rising, almost invincible.

After Li Yuanqing reported his name and pointed out the name of Gonggong An, within a moment, Li Yuanqing was released and entered the palace.

After walking for half an hour, at the corner of a palace wall, Li Yuanqing ran into Gonggong An and his party who came to greet him.

I haven't seen him for a year, this guy has gained a lot of weight, his heavy chin is already a little fat, extremely rich, and extravagant.

However, seeing Li Yuanqing's attitude, this guy was quite respectful, and he hurriedly smiled and bowed: "Big brother, what kind of fairy wind blew you here?" Why don't you say hello in advance and let the little brother get ready? ”

Li Yuanqing smiled: "It's only been a few days since I came back from Nanyang!" No, knowing that the ancestor was thinking about this, he rushed over without stopping! By the way, brother, does the ancestor have time now? ”

Rao is already at this point, just one step away, he can enter the door of the celebrant eunuch, but Gonggong An still has to admire Li Yuanqing's vast magical powers.

He's a big brother! In terms of serving the ancestors, that's really nothing!

Compared with Li Yuanqing, he is still too tender.

Hurriedly smiled: "Big brother, you happened to come, the old ancestor had just had lunch and was in the imperial study. It shouldn't be a big deal this afternoon, little brother, I'll take you to see the ancestor! ”

Li Yuanqing hurriedly smiled: "Brother, brother will go to see the ancestor first, let's two brothers, and we will continue in the evening." ”

Grandpa An smiled, and with one look, it was already clear.

Outside the side hall of the imperial study, it didn't take long for the call of the little eunuch to come from inside, and the old ancestor invited Li Yuanqing to enter.

Li Yuanqing straightened his clothes, let out a long breath, and strode into the hall.

Perhaps, this is the last time he will meet this '9,000-year-old' who makes it impossible for future generations to distinguish the loyal traitor!
