When he received the order of the military department to expedite the eight hundred miles, Xu Hao knew that it was bad, but he was helpless about it, and handed over the captured more than 100 White Lotus Sect members to the local government, and without waiting for Zhu Bai, the king of Xiang, to arrive, he evacuated with his subordinates and several White Lotus backbones in the starry night.

It turned out that the day before yesterday, I received a letter from Hubei Jinyiwei that there were people gathered in Mintian Sicheng to gather the sect to behave in a sneaky manner, and it seemed that it was Maitreya Buddha who burned incense to worship, so it was reported.

Originally, the Maitreya Sect and the White Lotus Sect had been strictly forbidden by the imperial court, regarded as a rebellion, and Xu Hao was not interested in this, and all thought it was a cult, and immediately led the two hundred brocade guards who accompanied him out of Beijing.

Xu Hao has seen a lot about the White Lotus Sect, and knows that this is a professional rebel group, the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty, and the Republic of China, it seems that they have an active figure of killing officials and rebelling in any period, and they don't even have a political concept, it seems that they are completely demagogic with religion, purely for the rebellion and rebellion, and the unlucky ones are always the people who don't know the truth.

Xu Hao thinks that as a member of the interest group, the peasant uprising is naturally the natural enemy of the common sky, this ass can't sit crookedly, even if he is a child, he sympathizes with and admires the great peasant uprising! No way, who let us be the eagle dogs under the evil feudal emperor, we have to do a line of love.

Therefore, Xu Hao didn't listen to Tian Sicheng's defense at all, and decided that he was a criminal, and immediately ordered Mu Hui to use Jinyiwei's interrogation methods, as ruthless as he was.

In addition, as many as 1,000 taels of gold, silver, soft and other materials were accidentally seized, and the existence of the White Lotus Sect has its own soil for existence, and often after collecting a large amount of money, it is purchased in various places to purchase permanent property, and the high-level sectarians take care of the industry, and then the father dies and the son is passed on from generation to generation, and the powerful squires are borrowed from various places as a cover for their identity, so that a steady stream of missionaries is supplied to the people of the world to travel all over the world, where does the money come from? Where did they come from to give free medical treatment to the poor?

The property was unceremoniously divided by Xu Hao. Rewarding the Jinyi Wei who found out about this matter, Mu Hui soon showed all kinds of vicious methods to extract confessions, and interrogated Tian Sicheng as the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, and there was an elder brother named Tian Jiucheng, who actually gathered thousands of backbone people of the White Lotus Sect, and had been secretly building weapons for the past two years, and everyone had already proclaimed himself Emperor of the Han Ming Dynasty, and the year name was Dragon and Phoenix.

The enemy was outnumbered, so Xu Hao hurriedly reported the entire details to Zhu Yuanzhang, and was ready to immediately mobilize the surrounding officials and troops to go to Shaanxi County as soon as possible to encircle and suppress Tian Jiucheng. Who knew that Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the king of Shu and the king of Xiang to lead troops to suppress it.

Although Xu Hao has never had any experience in this area, he knows that the White Lotus Sect has been preaching for many years, and there are many sects in various places, and there are all kinds of people in all walks of life, and it is easy to leak the news if there is a little delay.

Probably because of his own appearance, the imperial court has already attached importance to this, so Tian Jiucheng and others are not troubled. Even if it is unguarded and rises up immediately, it should not have much momentum, and the damage caused will be much smaller than in history.

Xu Hao had his own plans, and when he rushed to a certain county seat with people. Mu Hui couldn't help but say: "The great credit is gone, otherwise we will be able to be promoted to knighthood with this, but it's a pity." ”

Xu Hao also felt a pity, but who said that he had never trained soldiers and fought in battle. smiled: "Maybe it's also a good thing, in case we have a stormy past, but we are defeated by others." So how to say? The brothers are not good at fighting, and the local officers and soldiers are estimated to be not as good at fighting as our brothers, even if it is a small defeat, you and I will have no brains by then. ”

Mu Hui said unhappily: "You can't do it, don't you still have me?" Just a group of homeless people, can they stop me Mu Hui? ”

Xu Hao smiled and said: "Don't brag, you have been serving in the Jinyi Guard, you have not experienced the experience of the battle formation, saying and doing are completely different things, or you go to your eldest brother to lead the troops, and make meritorious contributions to be promoted to a majestic general, don't be a nest of Jinyi Guard." ”

Mu Hui smiled, lowered his voice and said, "You don't want to be me?" But until the Holy One dies, I must not reveal my identity. ”

Xu Hao was silent, he really wanted to tell Mu Hui that after your father Mu Ying died, your Mu family would be able to sit back and relax, and Comrade Zhu was actually not so cruel and murderous.

Fifteen days later, Zhu Bai, the king of Xiang, led a march of 4,000 officers and troops to Tianjiucheng for thousands of miles, and there was an encounter between the two sides. Among them, the officers and soldiers suffered more than 800 casualties on the spot, and they had to retreat and repair, and they had no ability to continue fighting. More than 400 people died on the side of the White Lotus Sect, including men, women, and children, and it is rumored that everyone was not afraid of death at that time, and rushed forward to kill like madmen, shouting what Maitreya protects, and what is invulnerable.

After receiving the news, Xu Hao and Mu Hui, who were a little tired, looked at each other in front of them, and they both showed happy expressions. To say that the ability of Zhu Bai, the king of Xiang, is undoubtedly much stronger than the two of them, and the palace guards have been trained for a long time, and even the so-called elite division of others lost the first battle, can it be imagined that if the brothers were stupid enough to lead 1,800 stragglers to rush forward?

I really didn't dare to think about it, Mu Hui said happily: "Fortunately, you made a decision and didn't obey the call of King Xiang to help, otherwise the brothers would have been miserable." ”

Xu Hao said with a solemn expression: "There is a specialization in the art industry, and I use the brocade guard to fight on the battlefield, and I just think of my own shortcomings." I hope that the brothers will not embarrass my Jinyiwei, otherwise the court will condemn me, and my Jinyiwei will be in trouble. ”

Mu Hui changed color and said: "Could it be that His Royal Highness the King of Xiang will pass the buck?" Frame me Jinyiwei? ”

"No, it won't." Xu Hao shook his head and said: "The King of Xiang is a heroic man who dares to be a hero, and he will never act like a villain." I was worried that after the defeat of the official army, my Jinyi Wei would do things unfavorably and be impeached by the DPRK and China. After all, this matter was provoked by you and me, and it is difficult to ensure that someone does not distinguish between right and wrong, and takes the opportunity to fall into the ground. ”

At this time, Xu Hao lived in the Zhu Garden of Poyuan, which was known as "Fangtang Shade and Tile Shadow, and Whale Carp Walking" in Huizhou Mansion, Zhejiang, and he did not rush to the Shu Wangfu to pick up the condensing snow, but followed the confession to Huizhou for thousands of miles, and ordered the local government to send someone to assist, and laid a net in full swing, waiting for the fish to automatically take the bait.

Xu Hao wrote his apology to Ning Xue in the letter, informing the other party that between public and private, there is no doubt that he has to choose public before private, and said that there is no room for change in this matter, and between lovers and state affairs, they should take state affairs first; What kind of thing to eat the king and be loyal to the king, love the country and the people, I should love the country and the people, I almost didn't name myself as the big hero who worried about the country and the people, and said stingily that if I unfortunately die in battle, you can't marry anyone.

At this moment, Mu Ningxue, who was leaning on the railing, read the love letter in her hand angrily and funny, and sighed: "How can there be such a thing, obviously I am afraid of death and chose Huizhou to guard the rabbit, but I have to pretend to be a tiger general who is not afraid of life and death, don't you know that this zuihou sentence can be regarded as completely exposing his little family spirit." Hum! I didn't marry you, so why should I be a widow for you? ”

Zhiqing said curiously: "Miss, you can make it clear!" I don't understand. ”

Mu Ningxue folded the letter and put it away, and said with a smile: "That's not good, otherwise someone will have to hate me to death." ”

"Miss is so stingy and boring!" Zhiqing pursed her lips and turned her head away, which made Mu Ningxue smile.

Zhiyan frowned and walked over and said, "It's really boring, what kind of poetry club does it open all day long?" A group of ladies came over willingly, just to flatter the prince wholeheartedly, and even didn't want the face of their daughter's family. ”

Mu Ningxue frowned when she heard this: "Wherever Zhu Yueyi's poetry meeting goes, she can't hide." A group of rich and wealthy young men and women who don't know the taste of sorrow get together to recite poems and think they are elegant, don't you know that poetry will occasionally be done, and it is interesting, but every day it seems vulgar and disturbing, which is really ridiculous and lamentable. ”

Zhiyan walked over cautiously, didn't dare to look downstairs, and asked, "When will Gongzi come?" I want to go home. ”

Zhiqing suddenly said: "I can't come, it seems that I am entangled in something, and Miss is stingy and doesn't make it clear." ”

Mu Ningxue smiled and said: "You girl has become more and more childish recently, and she will no longer be free and easy in the past, it seems that I can't keep your person, that heart!" It had already flown to him. ”

Zhiqing's face flushed, and she didn't defend herself when she blushed, and Zhiyan smiled knowingly: "Miss is not the same?" No matter how those young ladies begged you for so many days, they didn't do a single poem, and they blatantly didn't give His Highness face, presumably that heart had already flown away. ”

Mu Ningxue sighed helplessly: "I can't do anything with you two girls, since he won't come, then let's set off to find him." ”

Zhiqing and Zhiyan immediately looked at each other in surprise, and Zhiyan smiled deliberately and said, "Miss is not afraid of being laughed at?" ”

Mu Ningxue smiled lightly, and said with a leisurely smile: "Why be afraid? Miss Ben made a special trip to send him two girls, and the reason was above board. ”

Zhiqing Zhiyan and the two maids were about to play with their own girl, when they saw a man and two women coming out of the room, and suddenly the expressions of the three masters and servants changed, and they returned to normal, and their expressions were a little unhappy.

Capital.

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious when he heard the news, and he hated that iron could not become steel, and ordered to reprimand the prince Zhu Bai, scolding him for being greedy for merit and not converging with the king of Shu and the king of Qin and the local army and horses in Shaanxi, so that he rashly attacked and lost his troops and generals, and ordered the king of Hunan to make meritorious service and destroy Tian Jiucheng and the rest of the sins within three months.

Because the damage to the officials and troops was not large, but the king of Hunan lost face, Zhu Yunwen was a little gloating, and suggested that Geng Bingwen, who was inspecting the border passes, take over the command of the kings.

War reports were sent from the local government one after another, and Tian Jiucheng led the remnants of his troops to escape to the mountains at the junction of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and disappeared. The king of Xiang, who had lost his spirit, was worried about the poor Kou Mo chasing, and began to dispatch officers and soldiers from all over the country to adopt a siege strategy, intending to trap Tian Jiucheng who was hiding in the deep mountains and old forests.

At this time, the squire of the military department was panting and asked for an audience, Zhu Yuanzhang announced that he had entered the hall, and the squire gasped and shouted: "Bixia, there was a rebellion of the White Lotus Sect in two counties of Shaanxi, and two of the counties were occupied by thieves, killed the officials and set fire to the county office. ”

Zhu Yunwen said angrily: "What about Xu Haoren? Why is there no news? What does Jinyiwei eat? (To be continued......)
