The world of rebirth

The matter in Haikang County was more complicated than Ning Yunjin imagined. The people who gathered the gentry and landlords together seemed to belong to the opposition forces of the previous dynasty.They are generally active in the Jiangnan and coastal areas. Even though they know that most of the traditional gentry in these places are related to them, there is no way to eradicate them with great fanfare without any obvious charges.

The imperial court used the method of promoting upstarts in these places, trying to eliminate and disintegrate the forces of these people without affecting local security, but the result was to make the situation more complicated.

Dozens of people were killed, and the county magistrate of Haikang County naturally had to take the responsibility. It was definitely not enough for him to be a seventh-rank Xiang Dai.

The governor of Guangdong and Guangxi is a savvy person. He came forward to gather all the prefectures and counties in Guangzhou. The practice of raising taxes shall be corrected.

In fact, if this kind of apportionment and increase in tax items were not carried out from the top down, the greatest contribution would fall on the governor, and Ning Yunjin would not believe it even if he was beaten to death.But such a frontier official himself and Hong Ming can't move him now, it's better to let this person clean up Guangdong and Guangxi first, and then talk about it after they return to Beijing.

After solving this matter, it has been nearly ten days. In the blink of an eye, it was the ninth day of November. Urging Ning Yunjin to return to Beijing.

Ning Yunjin also doesn't want to celebrate the New Year outside, as long as this person doesn't mind suffering, he naturally has no objections.So the two of them returned to Beijing slowly with the soil instrument they bought and some of their unnecessary belongings, but instead they galloped along with more than 20 elite guards, Qing Yangzi and others.

It is more than a thousand miles away from Guangzhou to the capital, and the road is not easy these days, even if you follow the official road, it is very uncomfortable.Among the 30 people returning to Beijing now, apart from Gao Ke and Ye Hai, only Hong Ming has the worst martial arts, but he is also the only one who has no experience in long-distance raids and has never suffered hardships.

Riding on a horse wears the most on the inner thighs. After running for four or five days, Hong Ming turned blue when he heard that he was about to mount a horse.But young people want to save face the most, not to mention Ning Yunjin, who is the same age as him, has not complained yet, even Mr. Jianting is still calm at his age, as the instigator who asked to return to Beijing quickly, he also Sorry to change my mind again.

With Ning Yunjin's hearing ability, he could naturally hear Gao Ke's hissing and barking from the next door when Gao Ke applied medicine to Hong Ming every day.Even though he always cursed and complained at night, Hong Ming would still maintain a decent appearance on the horse and continue on the next day.

This made Ning Yunjin clearly feel that there is a big difference between Hong Ming in this life and the prince in his memory. He doesn't have the arrogance of judging people with his nose, and he still maintains a competitive spirit. At such a young age in my life, I was tempted by others to indulge in wine, sex and wealth.

Ning Yunjin also felt a little bored when he was traveling like this every day, so he would take the time to guide Hong Ming, "When riding a horse for a long distance, you should sit sideways, and the buttocks on both sides take turns to exert force, so that you won't feel pain when you get off the horse."

Ning Yunjin taught himself how to avoid hurting his calves and inner thighs yesterday, and after doing so, he felt much more comfortable today, and Hong Ming immediately followed suit.

In fact, he was not the only one who benefited from it. Those around them all listened with open ears.Although they all had the experience of riding horses and raids for a long time, many of their experiences were summed up by themselves or occasionally listened to the guidance of their predecessors, so they couldn't be like Ning Yunjin.

After trying it according to Ning Yunjin's words, everyone suddenly felt that the originally numb half of their buttocks felt a little lighter.One of the guards said with a smile, "Master Ning is worthy of being the number one scholar, but he is well-informed."

Ning Yunjin smiled reservedly, seeing Hong Ming looking back from time to time, he asked, "What is the prince looking at?"

"Those people have been following us." Hong Ming frowned and said, "It seems that I have seen them since the day before yesterday, so they must be harboring evil intentions!"

"It wasn't the day before yesterday." Ning Yunjin said with certainty, "They have caught up since we left Guangzhou."

"Since you know, why didn't you say it earlier!" Hong Ming said in shock, "Don't deal with it quickly..."

Ning Yunjin shook his head, "It's meaningless. We have a group of 30 people walking on the official road, and we really need to be careful. As long as we continue to drive like this, we will always be targeted by them. It's hard to guard against backstabs. It's better to let these people People are staying in the light."

"But what if they lie in ambush ahead?" Hong Ming asked in surprise.

Ning Yunjin had thought about this problem a long time ago, and he said calmly, "Going forward, only the Hunan border has high mountains suitable for ambushes. Before that, we will pull out these eyes and move forward."

His composure made Hong Ming feel relieved, saying that he and this person were thorns in others' eyes.Hong Ming laughed, "Since Qing Yang has already made up his mind, Gu will listen to you."

Although Ning Yunjin was not familiar with the terrain in the south, it was hard for him to sneak.After entering the forest area, he took a few guards and personally dealt with all the people who followed them all the way, then turned into the mountain road and disappeared completely.

For the next itinerary, they sometimes used the official road to go fast for a few days, supplemented with dry food for repairs, and sometimes disappeared for a few days. This approach added a lot of trouble to those who wanted to track them.Those who chase from the back to the front will always be left behind by them, and those who block from the front to the back can't figure out the direction of their pedestrians, but these people dare not really mobilize people on a large scale, so they can only be so angry Jump feet.

On the day of Xiaonian, Ning Yunjin and his group had already arrived in Tongzhou. After all, they were imperial envoys, and there was a prince among them. It was impossible for the two of them to return to Beijing in a hurry, so they decided to send them to Beijing to arrange the prince's guard of honor. and imperial envoys, while they found an inn and pretended to be people returning home for the New Year.

It was night, and Ning Yunjin was lying on the bed but couldn't sleep. He wondered if it was because of his closeness to his hometown. He was already almost in Beijing, but he didn't want to go to the city immediately.

Suddenly there was the sound of eager but light footsteps in the corridor. The visitor hesitated for a moment at the door, and then there was no movement again.

Ning Yunjin could hear that the person coming had slowed down his breathing, and he still stayed outside.With such a familiar approach, he immediately guessed who the person might be, and said softly, "Qin Ming?"

"My lord! Did the little one wake you up?"

Ning Yunjin stood up and opened the door, only to see that the person outside the door was indeed Qin Ming, with a burden on his back, and a somewhat depressed expression, as if he felt that he should not have done it.

"Why are you here at this time?" Ning Yunjin asked puzzled.

Qin Ming closed the door vigilantly, fastened the lock, and then said in a low voice, "When the master came back to the mansion, he said that you had returned to Beijing. He originally wanted to arrange for Brother Fuman to come, but he missed you, so he volunteered Come and meet me first." As he spoke, he put the bundle on the table, and after opening it, there was a full set of clean clothes and outfits inside, and the smell of incense could still be smelled.

However, Ning Yunjin knew that his father could not somehow send someone to pick him up first, so he asked, "What orders does father have?"

Qin Ming shook his head, "Master didn't say anything, he just said to tell you something after seeing you. The emperor knows."

"The emperor knows!?" Ning Yunjin said it like a parrot, but he felt as expected, except for that matter, his father had nothing else to tell him in advance.

Qin Ming misunderstood Ning Yunjin's reaction, because he felt that such a sentence was a bit inexplicable, and explained, "Master said, you will know it after listening."

Ning Yunjin nodded, indicating that he understood.Before he could speak, he suddenly heard a muffled humming outside.The entire courtyard of Tianzihao was occupied by them tonight, and someone was arranged to be on duty at night. The guards like Qin Ming knew each other, so they could come in naturally, but the sound was clearly an outsider's intrusion.

His heart moved, and he asked, "Do you know how many people we have come back?"

"It shouldn't be many." Qin Ming couldn't see his face, and said hastily, "Master said that when the people who notified entered the palace, there were only the emperor and five elders. The master was waiting to face the saint at that time, and the lord Just said a word."

It seems that there is an inner ghost in the old man, maybe it is Yang.Ning Yunjin nodded and waved to him, "Come with me."

He led Qin Ming out of the room, and saw that Qingyangzi and the three priests had already left the door.Ning Yunjin whispered, "Looks like the news has leaked out, I'll go to the prince first."

Qingyangzi stroked his blue beard, but his expression was very serious, "There are five in total, and two of them are masters, be careful."

Ning Yunjin only heard the movement of three people, and he didn't take it seriously at first, but when he heard him say this, he felt a chill in his heart. After all, there are only three people who can be called masters by Qingyangzi, but they don't know Which two of them came here.

He couldn't calm down now, and rushed to Hong Ming's room next door, and shook the door bolt open.Hong Ming, who was tired all day, was startled out of his deep sleep by the sound of wood cracking, and when he saw that it was Ning Yunjin, he rubbed his eyes and asked in bewilderment, "Qing Yang, what are you doing?"

"Get up, there is a situation." Ning Yunjin said something, then smacked his chin at Qin Ming, "Go and help the prince change his clothes."

Hong Ming was not a fool either, he knew something was wrong by looking at Ning Yunjin's face, he turned over and got up, spread his hands to let Qin Ming serve him, and asked, "What's going on?"

While they were talking, there was already the sound of fighting outside, and the commotion was very noisy. The torches in the yard and the lights in the surrounding yards made the inn suddenly lively.

Ning Yunjin simply opened the window to observe the situation outside.Five people in the yard were fighting with the twenty or so people on his side, the most obvious of which was the two figures that made him frown immediately.

His ugly face made Hong Ming feel uneasy, and asked, "Who is here?"

Ning Yunjin turned his head and smiled wryly, "It's Bi Canglang and Wu Qianyi. I didn't expect these two people to get mixed up."

The two great masters... Hong Ming's face suddenly changed!He never thought that he and Ning Yunjin would be worthy of the two great masters' shots. They were both outside the capital, but such an accident happened. Even though Hong Ming tried hard to calm down, his face couldn't help but start to lose color.

He looked at Ning Yunjin as if he had caught a straw. Even if he absolutely refused to admit it, the person in front of him was more capable than himself. He asked in a daze, "What should we do?"

Ning Yunjin grabbed his hand, "Calm down! So what about the two great masters, there are so many people on our side, we have to give it a go, don't forget that we are still bloodlines!"

The warmth from Ning Yunjin's palm made Hong Ming gradually relax, and he nodded seriously.
