Chapter 191: Leaving Beijing on the way

Li Wenyuan succeeded to the post of Baihu under the recommendation of Wang Tong, and Sun Dahai and his brothers were unwilling to stay in Beijing and wanted to follow Wang Tong to Tianjin, Zhang Shiqiang naturally did not need to say.

Ma Pozi and Ma Sanbiao also wanted to follow Wang Tong, and the rest of the people were willing to stay in this delicious restaurant to continue to work, and originally wanted to leave that Zhang Hongying behind, but Ma Pozi rarely became the second master, and took Zhang Hongying to Tianjin together.

There are not many teenagers in the martial arts hall who follow Wang Tong, most of the teenagers in Xuanfu and Jizhen want to go home for the New Year, and earn a thousand total status, and become classmates with the Son of Heaven.

Sun Xin led six teenagers to follow Wang Tong, several of them were military generals near the Beijing Division, and their families could not be said to be rich, and the soldiers and horses around the Beijing Division did not have so many places to place them, so it was better to follow Wang Tong.

What really surprised Wang Tong was that Li Tao actually wanted to stay, Li Tao's father was a general of the Xuanfu Division, this is a serious general, and he had such qualifications in the martial arts hall, and he actually wanted to follow Wang Tong and not go home, which was too surprising.

There are also seven teenagers left by Li Tao, and four of these seven teenagers are quite similar to Sun Xin, but Li Tao and the other three reasons are different.

Since knowing that Huang Yijun is the Wanli Emperor, Li Tao has not had a good night's sleep, he is really frightened, after all, he once led people to besiege the emperor, what a big crime.

At the moment, the only way to get rid of the crime is to be with Wang Tong, this Wang Tong is the same age as himself, he is already a thousand households of Jinyiwei, and he wants to come to the Holy Family Zhenglong, and this Wang Tong is quite precocious, well-versed in affairs, and following such a side, it is also a shelter for himself, and secondly, he can learn something.

On the ninth day of the lunar month, the people from the military department and the Jinyi guard came to urge again, and they didn't dare to do anything to Wang Tong, but they begged Wang Tong to go to work as soon as possible and not to delay in Beijing.

Seeing that a few middle-aged people in their thirties and forties were about to kneel down for themselves, Wang Tong couldn't cry or laugh, and all he answered was pointing to the empty hall, and said:

"Everything has been moved to Zhuangzi outside the city, please reply to all adults, Wang Mou said to start tomorrow."

Early in the morning on the tenth day of the lunar month, when the light first appeared and the street was still dark, Wang Tong was ready, dressed and washed.

The mother and son of the Ma family, Zhang Shiqiang, Tan Jiang and others had already moved to Zhuangzi outside the city, and Li Hutou also followed, and now the old mansion is Tan Bing and him.

Hearing Wang Tong get up, Tan Bing also got up in the wing room, and Wang Tong greeted:

"It's too late for you to get up later, I'll go out for a walk first."

Although the weather in Layue was cold, and the shops of various businesses were about to close their doors during the New Year, Wang Tong still saw the guys of each family busy cleaning there.

Seeing this scene, it really made Wang Tong feel a lot of emotion in his heart, so he went up to South Street, and saw that Wang Tong's buddy shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward to bow and say hello.

The minds of these neighbors don't have too many twists and turns, they only know that Wang Tong is now a thousand households, and he has done a lot of things to help everyone on this South Street in the past, and everyone must think of Lord Wang's goodness.

When walking past the dim sum shop, the shopkeeper took Wang Tong two freshly baked ham cakes as usual, and Wang Tong smiled and nodded in thanks.

There is no wind, but it is still very cold, eat a bite of a little hot ham baked cake, the body is much warmer, look left and right, and unconsciously walked to the old house of Tian Baihu.

Tian Baihu sent Tian Bo's coffin back to his hometown and has not come back yet, at this time the door is closed, and the front of the door is not as clean as when Tian Bo was there, Wang Tong stood there and ate the baked cakes, turned his head and turned back to South Street.

Casually found a shop and borrowed the tools for sprinkling and sweeping, Wang Tong returned to the door, swept the ground clean in silence, and then sprinkled it with water, and stood in front of the door with a fist.

When he returned home, Tan Bing had already gotten up, fed the two horses in the stable, hung up the saddle bridle, and then put two burdens on the last thing to be taken away and hung them on the horse's back.

Wang Tong's mount horse has something special, there is a leather bag on the left and right in front of the saddle, and there are two firecrackers inserted in it, and after the blacksmith's workshop has a measuring tool and the person in charge, before Wang Tong leaves, he finally made the second firecracker according to it, and sent it to Wang Tong, and brought it with him at this time.

The two of them had breakfast, the sun had come out, and they listened to the bells and drums of the imperial city ring the second round, and at this time the gate of the Jingshi should also be opened, Wang Tong and Tan Bing led the horses and left the courtyard.

was just about to set off, but he heard someone behind him raise his voice to greet him:

"Lord Wang, please stay."

The voice was quite familiar, and when I looked back, I saw the little eunuch Cai Nan waving his arms and running over, and when he came to him, he panted and said:

"Lord Wang, don't be busy leaving, Gonggong Zou invited Lord Wang to the martial arts hall, there is something important."

Wang Tong was puzzled, but he still handed over the reins to Tan Bing, and followed Cai Nan towards that side, not far away, surrounded by earthen walls and wooden fences, as well as flat fields, tall classrooms, but there was no one, it was unusually quiet, Wang Tong stared at it for a while, and was only greeted by Zou Yi.

Zou Yi directly sent Cai Nan and several forbidden soldiers who came with him away, and there were two red flags erected where he was, but they had just been inserted.

Rubbing his frozen red face, Zou Yi said with a smile:

"Brother Wang looks towards the imperial city, is it possible to see two red flags?"

The area around the Huwei Martial Arts Hall is quite empty, and this side is close to the imperial city, Wang Tong saw the two red flags at the head of the city with a slight sweep, and it seems that there is a figure between the red flags.

Just when he was puzzled, he heard Zou Yi say with a smile:

"Your Majesty knows that Brother Wang, you are leaving today, and you want to come out to see him off, but it is inconvenient to go out of the palace, the surname Suo has sent it to the head of the city, since Brother Wang, you are here, then Brother Wang will wave the red flag, and report to Your Majesty that you have arrived."

The Imperial City is far away from here, and you can see people, but you may not even be able to see the color of your clothes clearly, it is just to express your heart.

Wang Tong was stunned, took a deep breath, knelt down in the direction of the two red flags at the head of the city, kowtowed a few times, and when Wang Tong got up, Zou Yi also stopped shaking in his hand.

When the two red flags on the city were removed, Wang Tong clenched his fists at Zou Yi and said:

"Brother Zou, in the past, he took care of him in Beijing, and in the future, when the younger brother goes to Tianjin on an errand, he will have to bother Brother Zou."

After speaking, after a deep bow, Zou Yi also returned the salute solemnly and said:

"Our own brothers, why bother to say these kind words, don't interrupt the exchange of letters in the future, and go back to Beijing when you have time, don't waste these relationships."

The two sides worshiped each other again, everything was silent, Wang Tong's face was also numb from the cold, he stretched out his hand and rubbed it, walked out of the street corner, greeted Tan Bing, and got on the horse and set off together.

I don't know if it has anything to do with what Lu Wancai said, Wang Tong left Jingshi this time and walked through Andingmen, although this is a bit of a detour.

When he got there, the guard in front of the city gate saw a brocade-clothed guard Qianhu riding over, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he stepped forward and looked at the confession paperwork, and hurriedly got out of the way.

"Lord Wang is going to Pengcheng thousands of miles!"

Just about to shake the reins, but heard a raised voice from the side, Wang Tong looked sideways, but found that Lu Wancai, who was wearing a Confucian robe, was standing on the side, solemnly saluting.

When I told them that I was going out of the city at this gate, I didn't expect Lu Wancai to come to see it off, Wang Tong stopped his horse, but saw a woman in a cloak kneeling down and kowtowing to herself, not Song Chanchan.

Wang Tongchang exhaled, hugged the two of them in a straight posture on the horse, bent over, did not speak, turned around to drive the horses, accelerated away, and finally said goodbye!

When I arrived at the Zhuangzi, all the people under him were waiting outside the village, and there were eight people in Sun Dahai's gang who were willing to follow, counting the thirty people in their family, and more than 20 people in the Zhuangzi who were willing to follow, counting the others, there were more than 100 people in this team, and the number was even more if you counted the coachmen who drove the car.

The carts carrying various supplies were lined up, and there were four carriages with carriages to pull women and children, and the rest of the men and the elderly sat on the carts, and the young and strong who could not ride horses followed the side of the carriage, and those who rode horses were in a circle farther out.

There were also four knights separately, two cruising in the back, two scouting in front, the only exception was one of the Tan family generals named Tan Gong, who sat on the carriage of goods, the pile of goods was the highest stack, and he looked left and right on it, so he was not leisurely.

Seeing Wang Tong looking at the carriage uncontrollably, Tan Jiang explained with a smile:

"Tan Gong has good eyes, and it is his strength to march in a large group and look at the surrounding situation."

The first day left Zhuangzi and walked twenty miles, the weather was cold, there was no snow, the road was good to walk, along the canal all the way to the east.

Near Jingshi, it is densely populated, and you can see people all the way in these twenty miles, and at night, you just stay in the post station, and there is nothing to do.

The second day is that the more east you go, the less crowded the villages you see on the plains on both sides, and Tan Gong on the carriage is not as idle as the first day, occasionally standing up on the roof of the car and setting up a pergola to look around, and sometimes shouting at the horseback riders below to go to the place he instructed.

Between Jingshi and Tianjin Sanwei, there is always a big car shop or village every other distance, and when it gets dark, it happens to complain.

On the third day on the road, Tan Gong had been standing and looking around, but Tan Jiang whispered to Wang Daodao when he was resting at noon:

"Master, this time I was transferred from Jinyi Wei to leave Beijing, didn't you arrange a guard for you?"

Wang Tong was also stunned, he really didn't know this rule, Tan Jiang knew the answer by looking at his expression, sighed and didn't make a sound.

When he was on the road in the afternoon, Wang Tong loaded his two firecrackers with medicine and reserved the fire......
