The Great Pilgrimage ended in a shocking way.In previous years, after the release of the gold list, the streets and alleys of the capital would be lively.The young jinshi crossed the horse and paraded the streets, and the spring breeze was proud.The people discussed one after another, who had won the exam, and the high-ranking officials and wealthy families were busy picking up the dragon and taking the opportunity to win over the upstarts of the court.Even the girls in the Qinglou were also touched by the joy of the title of the gold list, chattering between the hook columns, comparing the rankings of the handsome students they had slept with.It's a pity that this year, there will not be these lively scenes.The war in the south was chaotic, and even the capital felt the pressure.Before the jinshi had time to celebrate high school, they had to go south with the army and receive the baptism of blood and fire.For young people who have less to do, it is not necessarily a good thing.And Wu Daosi's concocted farce of the palace test made the nerves of the whole capital tense, and they paid close attention to Beihai, thousands of miles away, for fear that the rebels would descend from the sky like divine soldiers and attack Chang'an overnight.If Beihai rebelled, echoing the Southern Jin army, the Northern Tang Dynasty would suffer from the enemy and fall into a crisis of overstretched troops.The three main forces were involved in the southern front, and the DPRK and China had no troops to send, so how to deal with the battle on the northern front was a difficult problem.Unexpectedly, however, Wu Daosi's manifesto did not materialize.The Beihai Sea under the gaze of all directions is like a pool of stagnant water, and the waves are not alarmed, and there is no movement for a long time.The more this is the case, the more uneasy the ministers of the DPRK and the central government become, and a smell of conspiracy lingers.Xue Yingwei interrogated Wu Daosi more than ten times, trying to pry the mystery out of his mouth, but to no avail.Who can subdue a madman, this is not pretending to be crazy, it is really crazy.In an anxious atmosphere, Ren Zhen quietly set out on the expedition.Three days later, he led a squad of 2,000 people from Xuanwumen to the front line.The core of this team is the young elite selected by this year's Dachao trial, and it is also the future hope of Beitang.Since they are called elites, of course, they cannot be put in the same basket.After running for dozens of miles, on a flat land, Ren Zhen ordered to rest in place and began to distribute personnel.He grabbed the reins, stopped at the front, glanced at the group of young generals behind him, and said, "I know, you are not ordinary recruits, you all have deep backgrounds, and your family has more or less dealings with the military.So, I respect your choice. ”He didn't have the energy to sift through the arrangements one by one, so he could only let these people pick their camps.As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Ji rode out, wearing a dark armor, looking majestic."
I was ordered by His Majesty to serve in the army of the Marquis, and I took my leave."
With that, he flicked his horsewhip and did not look back, but went in the direction of Changping.Seeing this, many people followed the figure of the king of the north and left, obviously, they had long had old friends with the Youzhou army, and if they went to defect at this time, they could be taken care of and would not suffer too much.More than 200 civil and military warriors walked away in an instant.Ren Zhen was neither surprised nor disappointed, and said lightly: "The Southwest Army of the Blood Marquis." ”Led by Sima Dongmei and Yue Zhongqi, another group of young people parted ways.Ren Zhen continued: "Marshal Xiahou of the Chinese Army. ”Walk half away again.There were more than 200 people, and in the end there were only more than 20 people left, who were willing to follow him to transport grain, compared with the popularity of the third-way generals, it was extremely cold.He didn't care, glanced at these familiar faces, and said happily: "You remember, regardless of seniority, heroes are judged only by success or failure on the battlefield.Future history books will prove that you made the right choice. ”Mo Ranyi, Zhuo Er, Xiao Jinsan, Fan Dongliu, and Mu Qingmeng His eyes were slightly condensed, and he suddenly saw two unexpected people.One is Xue Qingwu, who is standing side by side with Xue Yubing at this time.Xue Yubing is the deputy transfer envoy, serving as her deputy, and it is not surprising that she followed her brother to join the army.Unexpectedly, only a few days later, the hateful face that had been ruined by his hot hands was quickly repaired without the slightest scar, which made him a little surprised.The other is Xiahou Ba.Ren Zhen looked at him and said in surprise: "Why don't you go to your father to fight father and son, with the protection of the commander of the Chinese army, you are the safest." ”Xiahou Ba shook his head with a smile on his face, "No, it's also a great honor to fight side by side with Shizun."
Senior Brother Cui is unwilling to come to serve you, these small things should be handled by me, and I definitely can't leave. ”What he thought in his heart was that if he followed his father and matched the invincible Chen Qingzhi, it would definitely be useless, so it was better to follow the grain transport.When the time comes, the Chinese army and the reinforcements will make meritorious contributions, and they will all have the share of their Xiahou family, which is a sure win.Ren Zhen's face was slightly gloomy, and he turned around and did not speak.Senior brother is definitely not as good as his brother.Because he blinded Cui Mingren's eyes during the Great Dynasty Test, Cui Mingjiu was so angry that he didn't go to Blowing Water House again in the past few days.According to Ren Zhen's original plan, he left the capital this time, intending to hand over all the business to Cui Mingjiu and Ye Tianming to take care of and exercise their abilities.However, when he sent someone to Cui's mansion, he was told that Cui Mingjiu had left without saying goodbye and accompanied his brother back to Qinghe County.It seems that it has really turned its face.In desperation, he could only let Ye Tianming take the lead alone, and Wu Daosi was responsible for supervising and guiding behind the scenes.He was still not at ease, and ordered Lao Wang and his wife to stay behind and report the situation to him at any time.Just thinking about Lao Wang and his wife, Xu Lao Liu rode over, saw his sullenness, and said in a low voice: "You should really bring those two people."
With us, you are truly safe. ”Ren Zhen smiled reluctantly.What he is not worried about is not the business, the gambling house is gone, and he can reopen it in the future.What he was really afraid of was Wu Daosi, who was already crippled.If this person disobeys the yang and the yin, not only does he not submit to obedience, but secretly colludes with Beihai, and he will inevitably cause disaster.Therefore, when he was out fighting, it was the time to test Wu Daosi's loyalty.If he behaves in disobedience, the king who is spying on him will get rid of him immediately.He walked with Xu Laoliu, suddenly remembered something, and asked: "Recently, I asked you to send someone to the west of the city, why haven't you replied for a long time" Xu Laoliu spread his hands and said helplessly: "How dare I neglect what you explained."
There is really no blind man going to the Spring Breeze Pavilion, and I can't report it to you. ”Ren Zhen frowned and muttered: "This is strange" Before the imperial test, he asked Mo Yuqing to bring a message to Qiuyu Mountain, one of the things was to ask Yang Xuanji to come to Chang'an quickly, he had something to ask for.According to the calculation of the day, Mo Yuqing should have arrived at Qiuyu Mountain a long time ago, with Yang Xuanji's Qimen Dunjia, it would not take many days to rush to Chang'an, why is there no news Mo Yuqing went out of the business pool, and he couldn't bring the message to him Shook his head, and faintly felt that this matter was not simple.Failing to invite Yang Xuanji was a trivial matter, and it only delayed his long-term layout.But if you fail to invite the Mo family powerhouse to go down the mountain, it will have a direct impact on your eyes.He turned around and glanced at Xue Yubing, and then shouted loudly: "Go to Tiger Hill":
