Fight the Giants

  Chapter 664 Public revenge

  The urgent mail from the army was delivered to Mu Yan.

   After reading it, Mu Yan calmly handed it to Li Yi. Li Yi took it over and looked at it, and was stunned.

   "Let the Lord lead the guards and arrest the pirates?"

   How does this say? My father went out to Beijing to supervise the training of sailors. The task has been completed and he is about to return to Beijing. Why did you suddenly let the Lord lead the army to suppress the pirates?

  Mu Yan thought for a moment, and said: "Let Kan Er come over."

   After a while, Kan Er came over, "Master."

   "Did you meet anyone when you returned to Beijing, and what happened?"

   Who did you meet and what happened?

Kan Er tilted his head, Master asked him to go back to Beijing to deliver the letter, he did not stop, first went to the British government to deliver the letter to Miss Zhang, then returned to the mansion to deliver the letter to his wife, and met the people who Master stayed in the capital, first let They sent a letter to Yunnan, and confessed what the master said...

   Then I got a letter from Miss Zhang, and I came back to find my grandfather early the next morning.

  Kan Er recounted the matter in recollection.

   "Didn't anything happen in the capital? Didn't anything happen in the mansion?"

  What is the news? What can happen in the mansion? Kan Er didn't know why.

  Li Yi understood somewhat, and gave Kan Er a look. If I had known, he would have gone back to deliver the letter. "Master? Could this be..."

  Mu Yan twitched the corner of his mouth: "Tell me, who is in charge of the five armies' governor's mansion? Who can dispatch troops and generals before the battle?"

   "British public?"

  Li understood instantly, "You mean the Lord of England issued a military order to lead the Zhili guards to go out to sea to arrest pirates?"

   "Otherwise?" Who can let the emperor's personal guard lead the army?

  Mu Yan was very happy. He was in a hurry to go back to Beijing so that he could meet her and show her his feelings to soothe her heart. As a result, some people didn't want him to return to Beijing.

  Kan Er also understood, and his eyes widened: "The British public is avenging his private revenge!"

   "Did you meet Mr. Ying when you returned to Beijing?" Li Yi asked him.

"No."

Kan Er thought about it again, "However, I seem to have heard that Ms. Yu often goes out with Mrs. Tai to attend various banquets. People outside say that she was sent by Yunnan to marry her. He also said Miss Yu also brought a generous dowry, waiting for the master to go back."

   "Why don't you say these things!" Li Yi reprimanded him.

  Kan Er scratched his head: "These are not important. I don't like her. People can talk about it if they like."

   "Why is it not important!"

   Li Yi wanted to beat him up, "It doesn't matter, can the British prince not let me go back to Beijing? Can I send my father out to sea to catch pirates!"

  Kan Er pouted his neck: "That's why I said that the British public is avenging his private revenge! I am not afraid that his son-in-law will not come back. Hey, hey, he will not come back!"

   After speaking, he seemed to know that important information was missed, and his face was a little unnatural: "Grandpa..."

  Mu Yan glared at him, but luckily Xi'er trusted him, otherwise he would have to go back to Beijing at the risk of disobeying the military order.

   "Go get ready. We're going to report to the commander-in-chief immediately."

"yes."

This time the emperor appointed Ping Jiang Bo Chen Xuan as the general officer of the army to suppress the bandits, and ordered him to command the naval forces of Fujian and Fujian. He also ordered the Zhili and coastal guards to be on standby for reinforcements at any time. The two thousand elite soldiers who went to Jiading to join the army.

  That’s right, Zhang Fu recommended to Emperor Yongkang for Mu Yan to lead the troops to the sea to suppress the bandits.

   Don't think that he can't hear news from Jingzhong when he is in the barracks.

   It was rumored that a girl from Yunnan was welcomed in the Duke's Mansion of the State of Guizhou. She came all the way to marry Young Master Mu, and the dowry was brought.

   Mrs. Geng also took her to attend various banquets frequently, and introduced her future granddaughter-in-law to the ladies and ladies in Beijing and China.

  Her old man likes it.

  Can Zhang Fu not be angry?

  The kid also brought the jade pendant he gave to his daughter, and repeatedly provoked him, showing his heart, and asked him for it several times, but he refused to return the jade pendant to his daughter.

   This kid is still in his observation period, what's the situation now?

  When his daughter can't get married, no one wants her?

  Zhang Fu was very angry.

Therefore, in a court meeting, it was heard that the emperor ordered the generals to command the boats to set sail on the island, and take the opportunity to conquer the gangsters. When Jingbian gangsters were to be dispatched, a group of elite soldiers from the Zhili guards would be dispatched for reinforcements, and the generals were asked to recommend a young general to command Zhili. During the guards, Zhang Fu came out.

  Recommended Mu Yan to the emperor.

   Listed his various outstanding combat skills and excellent leadership ability when he was in Annan.

  At that time, the two armies defended the river and were unable to attack for a long time. It was Mu Yan's good idea, which enabled our army to invade Annan. Not only is he excellent in land combat, but he also has outstanding ability to lead sailors in combat. Xiao Qizu.

   If he doesn’t lead the army, who will lead the army?

   "Besides, he is the emperor's personal guard, representing the emperor. One is for reinforcements, and the other is to supervise the battle for the emperor. Mu Yan is the most suitable."

  The emperor was moved by the British prince's three-inch tongue. He didn't expect that there was such an outstanding general beside him. Would it be a pity to let him guard the hall?

  Thinking of the rewards that would be given to the generals who suppressed Annan, Mu Yan was only rewarded with some gold and silver.

   After thinking about it, he agreed to the recommendation of the British Duke.

  Therefore, Mu Yan's will to lead Zhili's elite soldiers to reinforce them was praised.

  Zhang Fu felt relieved. You young master Mu, let's float on the sea for a while longer, wait for me to choose a good kiss for my daughter-in-law, and then let you come back.

  Huo Xi didn't know this.

   Yu Wenying didn't care about Yu Wenying's frequent visits to various banquets in the capital with Mrs. Geng Tai, and making friends with various noble ladies.

  She still knows Mu Yan well, he is not the kind of person who can accept persecution. And he will never compromise with Yunnan.

  At the beginning, he was hunted down all the time, and he was poisoned even if he had a meal in the mansion. I am afraid that he will never be able to reconcile with Yunnan.

  The more Yunnan tried to force him to submit, the more he might do the opposite.

  Huo Xi would occasionally go to flower parties with Hou Shi, and would run into Yu Wenying. Yu Wenying never greeted Huo Xi again, and Huo Xi just pretended not to know her.

   When seeing Huo Xi, Mrs. Cheng would still be the same as before, pulling her to talk and introducing her to some people.

   Mrs. Geng Tai on the other side will also pull Yu Wenying, lead her, and let her integrate into the noble circle of the capital. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law don't care about each other.

  So gossip arose.

  The nobles in the capital are all good people, and their lives are not interesting. Trapped in the inner courtyard of the house, there is some entertainment for entertainment, so naturally I will not let it go.

   So it became more and more lively.

When Hou was asked about Huo Xi's marriage, she would still smile and say: "Which family are you talking about? Oh, is it the eldest son of her family? That child is not bad. I made a note of it quietly. When the Lord came back, I told him to listen, after all, he still has to make the decision."

Someone asked Mrs. Cheng, and Mrs. Cheng looked surprised: "Mu Yan is engaged? Why don't I know? He wants to be engaged, and I will tell you openly. When the time comes, invite everyone to drink engagement wine and make a wedding." witness."

  This sweltering summer, let everyone see enough excitement.

  The news of the feud between Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Guo of the Duke of Guizhou was spread everywhere.

  Huo Xi also began to receive some posts, and she would also pick some to meet appointments, and also met some young ladies from the Xungui family.

   But mostly staring at the shop. In addition to watching them sell the goods shipped back from Fanwai, they also need to watch them hoard some food and cloth.

   Not only because of the weather, but also because of the increasing demand for grain and cloth in the north.

  Now most of Guangfengshui's business is purchased from Jiangnan to transport all kinds of grain and cloth to the north.

  In the past, the fleet went north once a month, and then twice and three times. This year, I bought ten more boats, and I can already do eight round trips in January.

  On this day, Huo Xi was looking at the account book. Huo Nian came back from the Imperial College and came to Xianglanyuan, "Sister, Mr. Zhao wants to see you!"
