The Sword of Smiling and Proud

Chapter 95

It turned out that since Gu An came to Xuanhua Mansion to notify the frontier army to pick up the two, he led the team to wait at the border every day, waiting for the two to come back.

Before the three of them had time to reminisce about the old days, the general of the Ming army came back with his personal guards. He took off his hood, and he was still very young, with a bright expression, obviously still immersed in the victory just now.

"This is the young master of Zhen Guogong's mansion. He led his own soldiers to station in Xuanhua Mansion. Hearing about this, he wanted to come to help." Gu An hurriedly introduced, with a somewhat unnatural expression on his face.

"This little father-in-law is young and energetic, and he is not very stylish. You should pay attention."

He whispered in Shen Lian's ear.

"Thank you, Lord, for saving your life." The two of them clasped their fists in salute. Shen Lian's status in Jinyiwei was not high, and he had never been in contact with a Duke of this level.

"Hahahahaha, it's easy to talk about. If you can fight with the Tatar cavalry, even if this trip is not in vain, you can also accumulate some experience for the next fight."

The general got off his horse, and the guards beside him rushed forward to help him.

At this time, everyone saw that the armor on the general's back seemed to be scratched by a spear, revealing a layer of soft gold silk armor inside. Fortunately, he had this soft armor, otherwise he would have suffered serious injuries.

The guards on the side saw that their master had almost died, and they knelt down on the side of the road to plead guilty.

"Hey, hey, what's the matter, get up quickly." The little father-in-law didn't have any airs and didn't take it seriously.

At this time, from the direction of Xuanhua, there was the sound of galloping horses and iron hoofs, billowing smoke and dust, and the main force of the frontier army, numbering three to five thousand, rushed in.

"The lower official deserves to die. Putting the nobleman in a dangerous place deserves ten thousand deaths."

"I said it's fine, get up quickly, or I'll get angry." The little father-in-law pretended to be angry, and then told the people around him to shut up.

He turned around, with curious eyes, and asked Guan Yuan and the two, "You guys went to the desert to spy on the military situation? How is the situation of the Tatar tribe now? Have you started preparing for war?"

"Master Hui, when the two of us came back, the grassland had already started to mobilize. The cavalry just now should be the vanguard scouts of the Tatar tribe."

"Okay, how about the Tatars' fighting power?"

"If you fight against the cavalry guards under the father-in-law, there is absolutely no chance of winning, but if you fight..." Shen Lian hesitated, but the father-in-law already understood the meaning, so he waved his hand to signal that it was over.

"The two of you have contributed to Daming, and I also like to make friends. No one dares to provoke you when I mention the name of Zhu Shou, the Duke of the Town in Xuanhua." The entourage went back to Xuanhua, and left the frontier army who came to support them in place.

Zhu Shou, Zhu Shou, Lord of the Town, Guan Yuan couldn't help but smile, it's you, Zhu Houzhao, who played the game of being a courtier yourself, throughout the ages, you're probably the first one.

Gu An led the two of them back to the Jinyiwei station in Xuanhua.

Because Guan Yuan and the two were much later than the agreed time, the Shangguan of Jinyiwei who was waiting in Xuanhua had already gone back to report, leaving only Gu An here to respond.

The three of them took out the jade seal and didn't know who to hand it to for a moment. Do they have to walk a few hundred miles by themselves to send it back to the capital?

"Brother Shen, if you trust me, I will send you a fortune, and I know who to give it to." Guan Yuan said.

"The little prince you met during the day today, you can hand it over to him, that's for sure."

"Ah? Give it to Duke Zhen. If he keeps it a secret and don't give it to the emperor, what should I do?" Shen Lian was a little puzzled.

Gu An on the side hesitated to speak, but Guan Yuan saw it.

"Brother Gu, it seems that you have also noticed something."

"Junior Brother Shen, I've been here in Xuanhua for a while, and it seems that the Lord of the Town has just arrived." Gu An still hesitated, and finally said, "It is rumored that the Lord of the Town is the current emperor, and he named him , this time I came to Weifu for a private visit."

Shen Lian was a little unbelievable, is the current emperor so unreliable?
Seeing that he didn't believe it, Gu An said, "The Shangguan of Jinyiwei Beizhen Fusi vaguely said before, and also said that he would rush back to transfer the masters of the capital to escort him. Today, there is the capital guard in the guards around the little father-in-law. colleagues."

Upon hearing this, Shen Lian breathed a sigh of relief, "This nobleman is truly unbelievable."

So the three of them planned to visit the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion and present the jade seal to the emperor.

When the people of the mansion brought them to the garden of the mansion, Zhu Shou, the Duke of the town, was teasing a sea dongqing.

"Hey, it's you guys, come and see if my sea dongqing is very heroic."

Zhu Shou was also approachable, pointing at his sea dongqing, as if showing off some great toy.

"You have also been to the desert. Is my sea dongqing useful for scouting on the grassland?"

When he was still showing off, Shen Lian took out the Jade Seal of Chuanguo and presented it.

Zhu Shou opened the package and saw that it was Yuxi. He was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "Where did you get this thing from?"

Shen Lian told Zhu Shou the experience of the two in the desert. He didn't say that Ma Debiao escaped at the wrong time, but said that in order to cover the escape of the two, he fell into a tight siege and died, which was to save him some face.

"He is really a strong man!" After hearing this, Zhu Shou sighed with emotion, thinking that such a loyal and righteous man would definitely reward his family after returning to Beijing.

But in words, he didn't value the jade seal very much, but was very interested in Guan Yuan and Shen Lian's experience of fleeing in the desert.

"What kind of knight from the Huashan School are you really? Can you jump several feet away at once?"

He is very interested in Guan Yuan's martial arts. He has been interested in swords, guns and sticks since he was a child. After he became an adult, he was restrained and unable to practice, but his interest is still there.

I saw Zhu Shou stepped forward and squeezed Guan Yuan's arm, "Not very strong. The thighs of the warriors in my house are almost as thick as your waist."

Guan Yuan was a little embarrassed, he didn't know how to answer him, but he couldn't say, even though he was thin and weak, he could kill a cow with one punch.

"My lord, this is a peerless treasure. Please keep it safe, lest it will be coveted by villains." Shen Lian cupped his hands and said to Zhu Shou.

"Uh, this thing, Yushufang, uh, there are many more in my house." Zhu Shou spread his hands and said helplessly.

The three of Guan Yuan looked at each other, not knowing what they meant.

It turns out that ever since the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom was lost in the desert, there has been an endless stream of people who forged and offered it. There are always people who want to use the Jade Seal to reach the sky in one step, but they are all judged as fake by the court craftsmen.

Just for the father of Emperor Zhengde, there were three records of presenting treasures during the reign of Emperor Xiaozong Hongzhi, all of which eventually became a farce.

"The color and luster of this piece is not bad, and the workmanship is good, and the old ones are also carefully. The only material used is far worse, so why use Dushan jade?" Zhu Shou was young, because he had seen a lot, It is also quite discerning along the way.

"However, even if it's a fake, we can't let it go to the people. It's better to take it back and use it as a paperweight."

Guan Yuan and Shen Lian looked at each other, feeling resentful and helpless.

The two of them have been running around for so long, and the seriously injured fled in the desert, and finally tried their best to bring them back to Xuanhua.Even Shen Bing and Ma Debiao lost their lives because of this fake.The gang of herdsmen who pretended to dig this thing and faked it probably planned to deceive the nobles on the grassland, but they were stolen by Ma Debiao and brought back to Daming.

Because of this fake, his Qiushui sword was broken, and the Yuehua mark disappeared. Guan Yuan also felt that he had suffered a huge loss after taking stock.

Shen Lian was not in the mood for an instant, and his face was heavy.He didn't want to cling to Zhu Shou, so he and Guan Yuan wanted to say goodbye and leave.
