The Master of the Kingdom - Chapter 145
The letter that Su Yi handed up was quickly passed to the prefect. The prefect was talking to the general. He heard that someone was looking for him. He thought someone came to see the general under the banner of seeing him.
The prefect is not a stupid and reckless person, he wouldn’t just yell “Have you not seen me talking to Master X? Let him wait outside!” without knowing who is waiting at the door. Not to mention offending people without even knowing who is at the door. If you act like this in front of Shangfeng, it will be unappetizing and will make Shangfeng feel that others are of poor quality.
After the prefect made a complaint with the general, he took the letter. The letter paper is good, and it is sealed with wax. There is a flower-like pattern on the wax, which looks decent.
After the prefect opened the letter, he glanced at the contents of the letter and frowned immediately.
Su Yi finally gave up pretending to be an intelligence officer, because the intelligence personnel of Yuchao he knew could pass the secret signal connection without any credentials. He couldn’t explain why he didn’t know the connection code, so he had to ask the prefect to help spread the letter.
Su Yi simply said that he had an important news about the Xiongnu in Northern Xinjiang to pass to the capital. If the prefect doesn’t believe it, then you can pass it to Wang Boyuan, who is in the frontier barracks, and let him decide.
The prefect was hesitating, whether this was news about the Huns or about officials. If it is under the banner of the Huns news, and the result is to expose the news of an official’s misconduct, if he rashly passes it up, he may be dragged into the muddy water. But if it is really the Huns news, he does not know it, it is a felony. And if it were reported from him, it would be a great credit.
Of course, before delivering the news, the prefect will definitely call that person to ask what the news is. It’s just that if it really involves officialdom, he will be involved as long as he listens to it. If it is someone he can’t provoke, he can’t buy murder.
However, when he saw the letter saying that it should be reported to another person, the prefect was relieved, and his heart raised even more.
The prefect raised it because of the fact that among the officials guarding northern Xinjiang, there were many higher grades than Wang Boyuan, and Wang Boyuan was not a member of the great family, but he named Wang Boyuan. Could it be related to the Wang family? Is it really a matter of officialdom? And he breathed a sigh of relief because the person in his house now happened to be Wang Boyuan.
The prefect sighed, thinking that the letter writer was lucky. Even if he wanted to conceal it, it was impossible to conceal someone while Wang Boyuan was in his residence.
The prefect handed the letter to Wang Boyuan, saying: “This person doesn’t know if Lord Wang is under the official position. This letter should be given to the lord.”
Wang Boyuan was discussing the transportation of grain and grass with the prefect. After hearing what the prefect said, he took the letter and looked at it, and said, “The man is at the door? Let him come in.”
Wang Boyuan looked at it for a while and frowned.
The prefect hurriedly said, “But what’s wrong?”
Wang Boyuan shook his head: “Nothing.”
It’s just that the handwriting is somewhat familiar. Wang Boyuan sighed and smiled in his heart, how could it be possible? Ding is just similar in handwriting. How could that person come here? Wang Boyuan heard a letter from Beijing not long ago. His Majesty the Emperor rarely hosted a birthday banquet and called Su Yi back to Beijing early.
It’s a pity that there are a lot of things in the frontier. Now he is different from his previous training in Northern Xinjiang. He already has an official position and cannot leave his post without authorization. Can’t attend the birthday banquet held by the emperor.
After receiving the order from the prefect, the subordinate thought that his eyesight was just right, and that man had a good background, and he was busy happily welcoming people in. If the nobleman recites himself well and gives a reward, then he earns it. Even if it didn’t, it was done, and it left an impression of being able to do things in the prefect.
When Su Yi learned that the prefect had called him into the mansion, he was relieved. As long as he was allowed in, he was mostly successful. After that, as long as he pretended to be based on his knowledge of the imperial family, he would be able to communicate with Jingzhong smoothly, right? Even if you contact Wang Boyuan, it will work.
After Su Yi entered Beijing, he rarely bowed to others except the emperor. After that, in front of the emperor, he was exempted from bowing to the emperor. When he entered the mansion, he was thinking along the way, how should he salute when he saw the prefect? How about pretending to be a family member and just being a good one? Which family is he going to pretend to be? By the way, since he said that the news could be passed directly to Wang Boyuan, he simply pretended to be the Wang family. Who in the Wang family is more suitable?
Su Yi racked his brains, never remembering the names of people from the Wang family who were of a similar age to him. Why don’t you just make up a random one? That is the person who pretends to be the Mu family, he is more familiar with the Mu family. The friendship between the Mu family and the Wang family is simulated, and it is normal to find the Wang family.
While Su Yi was thinking wildly, he had already walked to the hall of hospitality. Su Yi, who had already made up his mind to pretend to be his family, was calm and prepared to act like someone in the hall, and then he opened his mouth in surprise as soon as he looked up.
The person on the opposite side was more surprised than him, and stood up abruptly, knocking over his teacup.
The sound of the teacup overturned Su Yi’s mind. He smiled sincerely and said, “Oh, Shaohong, it’s been a long time.”
Seeing the appearance of the two of them, the prefect immediately confirmed that the two of them did know each other, and they were quite familiar. He was fortunate to have sent the letter to Wang Boyuan and did not offend the Wang family.
Su Yi only salutes Wang Boyuan. Although the prefect does not know who Su Yi is, he is not angry. Since he is a person who can call Wang Boyuan, his background is certainly not low, maybe he has an official position, and the official position is higher than him.
The prefect was considering whether to ask aloud first. Wang Boyuan finally recovered. He strode to Su Yi, wondering whether he was annoyed or happy: “Why are you here?”
At the moment when he saw Wang Boyuan, Su Yi finally relaxed, and his expression was very relaxed: “I said I’m lost, do you believe it?”
Wang Boyuan sneered: “Do you think I can believe it?”
Su Yi shrugged: “In fact, part of what I just said is true. Shaohong, send your majesty the letter in the fastest way you can use.”
Wang Boyuan’s brows were so furrowed that he could pinch dead bugs: “Are you really running out by yourself?”
Su Yi said, “I will explain this to you slowly afterwards. It’s hard to explain in a word.”
Su Yi turned his attention to the prefect, and he smiled and said: “I heard that the new grains promoted by the adults have had a good harvest, and I am preparing to promote cotton. There are problems in cotton planting and handling? Since I am here, maybe There is still something to do.”
As soon as the prefect wanted to speak, Wang Boyuan slapped Su Yi on the back of his head, and said in a huff: “Are you working hard? Come back to Beijing with me!”
The prefect immediately closed his mouth, not daring to interrupt. What’s the origin of this person? Is it a relative of the emperor? Why send a letter directly to His Majesty the Emperor?
“You can go to the capital?” Su Yi asked, “It’s okay to leave without permission, but is there nothing wrong with the frontier?”
If it is to **** Su Yi back to Beijing, it does not matter even if Wang Boyuan leaves his post without permission. But there was something at the border, and he couldn’t walk away. The Xiongnu seemed to have also heard the news that the emperor was about to celebrate his birthday. During this time, the border area should have been relatively peaceful, but they received news from the spies that the Xiongnu army was gathering.
They are verifying the news and are preparing for reinforcements and **** to the surrounding areas. That’s why Wang Boyuan came here.
Wang Boyuan sighed: “I will send you back, I have to rush back to the frontier immediately.”
Su Yi said: “Then I’ll go back to the frontier with you, and let your majesty send someone to pick it up. I was frightened. Who knows what I will encounter on the road, I don’t feel safe if I don’t follow people I know now. On the contrary, the border barracks are the safest.”
The Huns at the border barracks must have few nails. What if there is an interception on the road, or if there are nails from the Huns among the people sent to him by Wang Boyuan? Moreover, the people Mu Yan sent to him, he can order, and if the situation is not right, they can let people cooperate with him, even if they reveal some secrets, they can be kept tight-lipped. Even if the people Wang Boyuan sent to him knew that he was a national teacher, they would not obediently listen to him, a layman, nor would he keep secrets for him.
What’s more, even his henchmen can be the nails of the Huns, and Su Yi really can’t believe others. Now, with some delusions of victimization, he feels as if someone is coming to take his life at any time. If he hadn’t followed people he knew and surrounded by strangers, he would be uneasy.
But even if he does not know Su Yi’s persecution delusion, Wang Boyuan knows that Su Yi’s status is precious. If he hadn’t sent it back personally, he would have his trusted confidant and his personal soldiers send it away, but he left the barracks to perform official duties with only one confidant. , The guards he brought were also ordinary soldiers, and his confidantes and soldiers stayed at the border to help him deal with official duties in the barracks.
He was not relieved to let these people send their friends away.
It’s only half a day’s journey away from the frontier horse riding. Since Su Yi has left the capital, there is no shortage of this much time. He can’t get out of his body, so he can feel more at ease by sending someone from the DPRK to take over the friendship.
As for whether the frontier barracks will be insecure if the war is about to go, this is not true. Su Yi is not on the front line. As long as the border has not been breached, the frontier barracks are one of the safest places. If there is anything, let someone **** Su Yi away first. Even the generals on the sidelines, if they want to escape halfway through the fight, they can basically escape, not to mention that when the war just started, send a non-general to leave.
But maybe when the people who came to take care of Yi came, the battle hadn’t started yet. Wang Boyuan thought optimistically.
“Then follow me, I’ll send someone a letter to Beijing.” Wang Boyuan said, “I take a day off and leave tomorrow.”
Su Yi said: “If you are done with your business, let’s go today. I don’t think you have brought many people. Maybe you will leave tomorrow, and the news that I will be with you will spread. What kind of ghosts and monsters.”
Wang Boyuan’s expression immediately said with a serious expression: “How on earth did you come here?”
Su Yi glanced at the prefect, and the prefect hurriedly said, “We will retire first.”
Wang Boyuan said: “Nothing, he can listen. He is still your son-in-law of He Qing’s family.”
Wang Boyuan was joking in the second half of the sentence, but Su Yi looked surprised and said: “You and Mu are in-laws? What is the relationship with Heqing?”
The prefect hurriedly said: “The wife and Mr. Mu have the same clan.”
Su Yi nodded. Isn’t it a close relative? But in ancient times, the same clan is considered a relatively close relative? Besides, Mu Yan is now the patriarch. Is this prefect and him also a family?
Su Yi Dao: “Poor Dao is courteous, poor Dao Su Yi.”
The prefect was busy repaying the courtesy, halfway through, dumbfounded, and could not speak for a long while.
Although it was Wang Boyuan himself who made Su Yi trust the prefect, Wang Boyuan’s words had a touch of sourness: “Yes, it is possible, as long as it is from the Mu family, the same clan can be trusted immediately.”
Su Yi confessed Wang Boyuan’s glance: “You are the one who says you can be trusted, and you are also the one who is irritating with Yin and Yang, so it’s all you.”
Wang Boyuan snorted and said, “Okay, Lord Luo has recovered. This is the famous Master Su Tian, Master Su Guo. So, Master Guo Shi, are you going to Beijing to celebrate your majesty’s birthday? Why are you lost? Is this place here?”
The prefect was busy saluting Su Yi. Su Yi was appointed as the Lord of the Country, and the prefect should kneel down. When the prefect was in a hurry, he almost staggered and fell. Su Yi hurriedly supported the people and said, “Don’t kneel, the poor road is most afraid of people kneeling, so the poor road is hiding from people. Lord Luo really wants to bow to the poor road, be a good or a polite It’s done.”
Wang Boyuan knew that Su Yi really didn’t like others to kneel at him, and said: “Since the celestial master said so, Lord Luo don’t kneel anymore, you and him belong to the family anyway.”
The sourness is almost coming out.
Su Yi nodded, “Indeed, He Qing and I are as close as brothers. It’s not bad to say that.”
Brother Qi is also considered a brother cough.
Wang Boyuan raised his head and rolled his eyes to the ceiling. Although their group of friends had long noticed that Mu Yan and Su Yi had an unusual relationship, and he had broken his mind early, but seeing Su Yi like this, he was still uncomfortable, and wanted to beat Mu Yan.
He has been training in the border for so long, he should have beaten Mu Yan, right?
The prefect is now as nervous as it was when he first met in Beijing. The clearly savvy head is now a mess, his mouth is open and closed, but he doesn’t know what to say, so he can only keep humming.
Su Yi couldn’t laugh or cry. Is his reputation outside so terrible?
Su Yi hurriedly asked the prefect to sit down, and sat down himself. The prefect was busy pouring tea to Su Yi, and he obediently gave up his seat and sat down. Wang Boyuan also changed positions and gave Su Yi the top position.
Su Yi didn’t shirk, anyhow, now that he has the title of a Duke, what he should do according to etiquette.
Su Yidao: “Pan Dao was kidnapped by the Huns on the road. If it weren’t for the one they wanted to arrest alive, Shaohong, you might not see me.”
The freshly cleaned table and the tea just served were knocked over by Wang Boyuan again: “What?!”
Su Yi briefly described the scene of the day: “There is one more guard who has left and should not have been killed. He should inform Jingcheng immediately. Jingzhong should be looking for me now. I don’t know if Heqing knows the news. Don’t be scared.”
Wang Boyuan took two deep breaths and said: “I was almost scared by you anyway!”
Su Yi smiled and said: “I am sitting in front of you with a good attitude. What is scary. It has not been a few days since I was arrested. They should have found this direction. Knowing that I have gone to the border barracks, Your Majesty should be relieved. Indeed. There is no safer place than a military camp. Alas, I did not expect the Huns to penetrate so deeply.”
Wang Boyuan was still calming his heartbeat when he was frightened, and the prefect lowered his head, not daring to breathe.
The national teacher was taken away by the Huns? This news will shake people’s hearts and even the roots of Yu Chao. Su Yi’s deeds over the years have made these “insiders” in their hearts that Su Yi’s existence has been linked to Yu Chao’s rule, as if without Su Yi, Yu Chao had collapsed by a fraction, and its importance was more important than that of the prince.
After all, the emperor also had a second son who was alive and kicking. Even if he had some problems with his birth, if the emperor didn’t mind, he could still inherit the Datong.
Emperor: I choose Su Yi.
“Master Luo, the matter is urgent, and the officer must set off immediately. For the rest of the matter, Master Luo is bothering you to stare at.” Wang Boyuan said.
What kind of tea to drink, what to stay for, hurry back to the barracks! Who knows how many Huns’ nails are hidden here, and who knows what they will do? ! This little person around him, if the Huns are fighting the nails of Northern Xinjiang, they don’t want to be fierce, maybe they really don’t care for them.
“Master Wang, don’t worry, you can save it when you are in office!” The prefect immediately said.
Wang Boyuan nodded and said, “Kangle, do you need to use rice first?”
Su Yi said: “Go straight away, I am also a member of the army, not so squeamish. Just eat some dry food when you are hungry.”
Su Yi didn’t talk about the inn and luggage. He had nothing to take away, not even a horse. These prefects should help with the finishing touches, and he does not need additional arrangements.
Wang Boyuan immediately ordered those who came with him, sent his cronies to Beijing to deliver the letter, and then asked Su Yi to ride with him and quickly out of the city.
Although Su Yi’s riding skills have been developed, but now his jujube is not by his side, Su Yi’s riding skills have not yet reached the point where he can ride a horse and gallop. If you want to hurry, ride with others faster.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Wang Boyuan and his party arrived at the camp that night. When Wang Boyuan introduced Su Yi to Ma Chong, a general who guarded the frontier, General Ma, a man with a hard-working mind and a hard-working mind, was so frightened that it took several seconds to recover.
Before the messenger ran to the capital, he met Mu Yan. As Wang Boyuan’s confidant, he naturally knew Mu Yan.
It’s also a coincidence. Several people in the protection of Su Yi are very good at investigating. Although the speed is slower, they successfully found the forest where Su Yi stayed that day, and found a decomposed body and barely recognizable cloth strips.
When they saw the words on the cloth strips, a bunch of tough guys cried with joy. Not only because of their admiration for Su Yi, but also because Su Yi was fine, and their own lives were also saved.
After getting the news, they divided into two groups, continuing to search all the way, and send the letter all the way.
They are all soldiers in Mu Yan’s hands, and they all have ways to contact each other. Mu Yan ran away two horses without eating or drinking, and returned to the capital only one day and one night. When he led people out of Beijing to look for them, he contacted his soldiers by special means and followed them.
After Mu Yan got the news, he was rushing over here and met the person sent by Wang Boyuan to deliver the letter. Mu Yan sent someone back to Beijing to deliver the letter, and then sent someone to tell the others to stop searching, and then let Wang Boyuan’s cronies lead the way and rushed towards the frontier military camp overnight.
Su Yi didn’t know that it was Mu Yan who came to pick him up. But now when he arrived at the barracks, seeing so many soldiers, he felt very safe in his heart, and he was in the mood to “visit” the barracks.
Su Yi once invited himself to Beijiang, and felt that he should be able to come in handy. Now he came, and found that he could come in handy.
He first talked with the generals and talked about the concepts of ruling the army and farming fields for later generations, and several generals expressed that they were deeply inspired. Then he went to see the tools of the city guard and put forward many suggestions for improvement. Then he found that the gunpowder barrel had come here, and there were sulfur mines nearby, so Su Yi was enthusiastic about improving the gunpowder weapon.
“Aren’t they going to give your majesty a birthday gift?” Su Yi smiled. “That’s pretty good. Your Majesty would like this birthday gift. It would be even better if their King Huns came in person.”
When Su Yi was in Qingzhou some days ago, he experimented with a simple method of making landmines. I wanted to offer it to the emperor’s father as one of the birthday gifts, but now maybe I can exchange it for a better birthday gift.
Like a big win?
Ma Chong threw most of the matter to his subordinates and personally accompanied Su Yi. When Su Yi’s nest was in the laboratory, he followed Su Yi’s improvised laboratory and watched Su Yi making landmines and experimental landmines. The bronze-colored tough guy showed a nymphomaniac expression on his face. If it weren’t for the danger of landmines, he would have liked to hug him and kiss him.
With this thing, he will be able to beat the Xiongnu by surprise.
After the Huns know this, they will have a way to deal with it. For example, using animals, or even more abominable, can use captives to detect mines on human walls. But now they don’t know. If they don’t know, they will definitely be recruited.
No wonder the boy Mu Yan took the Heavenly Master to the battlefield and quickly levelled Goguryeo. If the heavenly master is in his barracks, he also feels that he can win the battle.
But… Ma Chong sighed in his heart. It is precisely because the celestial master is too important to let him go to the battlefield. Not to mention that the celestial master was almost killed when he returned from the battlefield of Goguryeo last time. It was that the sword had no eyes on the battlefield and hurt the celestial master. It was Yu Chaotian’s great loss.
The Huns also knew this, so they would attack the celestial master.
Without a celestial master, he could have defeated the Huns a long time ago, so why let the celestial master take risks?
However, Ma Chong felt very happy to be able to live with the celestial master for a while. No wonder the aristocratic families in the middle of Beijing chase behind the celestial master’s **** every day. When he can’t fight anymore, he returns to the capital to take care of the old. He must be one of them.
Although the tianshi is not very good at martial arts, he has a deep understanding of the military formation, and he is very knowledgeable, and has no arrogance to people. Without a scholar and general, Su Tianshi can have a good chat with him. The celestial master knows everything, but never interferes with the affairs of the army. Even if others ask him for advice, the celestial master only said that he is a layman in the military and can’t use his axe. There are generals in the army who are good at leading soldiers. Do others speak a lot?
The generals are almost overwhelmed by the favorability of Su Yi.
