Chapter 333: In Xia Nuerhaci, I pay homage to the Grand Governor

The world is white, and the wind is like a knife, blowing on the face and hurting. Sometimes a strong wind blows, rolling the snow on the ground high, and rushing to the face, like the storm waves on the sea.

The good official sat on the horse-drawn sled. Beheri and Bao Yiman wrapped him in the middle, with tiger skin under the sled, wearing fox fur, and holding a stove in their arms. However, after walking in the snow for so long, the stove was gone. Although the two maids were close to him, they still couldn't resist the cold and their little faces turned pale.

On another sled, Li Rubai looked at the dear official with a sorry look. They changed the sled in Huludao to Guangning City, which is one of the important towns on the nine sides. The snow never stopped along the way. A team of hundreds of people, plus the many things the dear official brought, walked hard in the snow.

Animals like horses are not even as good as dogs in the snow, so the speed of horses pulling sleds is actually not fast. The good official first complained, but there was no post station, and then he didn't have the energy to complain. It was too cold. Seeing the style of the good official Jiangnan young master, Song Xiaole couldn't help but argue for his uncle, saying that there was not a post station, but the salary allocated by the court every year was insufficient, so the maintenance was naturally insufficient. With such heavy snow, it would be better to work harder on the road and rush to Guangning.

As the saying goes, the son does not dislike his mother's ugly. Although Liaodong is a bitter and cold place, Song Xiaole naturally needs to distinguish it. It is also a good place in Liaodong. Your uncle is lucky, but the time he came is wrong.

The extravagant trend in the middle and late Ming Dynasty was prevalent, such as when Beijing was in winter, all the princes, marquises and high-ranking officials and nobles had warm sedan chairs when they went out. In the past, Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Ge Lao were even more luxurious. The warm sedan chair carried by twenty-four people was as warm as spring, and flowers were planted with flowers that never fade in all seasons. As the son of Li Chengliang, who was actually the king of Liaodong, what was the difference between Li Rubai and the prince? Can't you afford it? No, Li Chengliang was a famous general at the time and had strict requirements on his children and subordinates. Things like warm sedan chairs are not allowed to be taken, so there is no luck in being famous. From this point of view, Li Chengliang is indeed a master.

Regarding Song Xiaole's so-called "The imperial court has not given enough money, the good official was too lazy to complain. Damn, Li Chengliang's family can afford to raise three thousand prostitutes, and the houses are built continuously. People at that time said [Li's mansion is like a city wall], and the mud horse post station cannot be repaired?

This is the current situation in the northwest at that time. The northwest generals were not vassal states, but in fact they were equivalent to vassal states.

"Feng Zhang, I'm all careless." Li Rubai shouted: "I'll arrive in Guangning City soon. I'll apologize to you and have a few drinks with you."

Li Rubai is a man with a generous personality, a strong temperament, and a good vision. It can be seen from the moment he first met his good official and immediately said that the governor gave him a few boxes of Dongzhu.

Among the nine young masters of Li Chengliang, Li Rusong was determined and courageous, skilled in archery and horses, and had the style of being a father. He was very good at training soldiers and had the style of a famous general in ancient times. However, Li Rusong had a great problem, his eyes were higher than the top.

Li Rubai likes to drink, wears fresh clothes and is angry at horses, and has caused troubles several times because of drinking. Not only is Li Chengliang's second son the most, but his generals are also the most supportive of him. From the perspective of a good official, this guy is like Linghu Chong in "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer". He has a bad habit, but he is very lively. In the words of later generations, he is like the eldest brother next door, which is that feeling. Therefore, among the nine sons of Li Chengliang, Li Rubai has the position of commander of the Li family as hereditary commander of the Tieling Guard.

The good official opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, a cold wind mixed with snow powder entered his mouth and nose. The coldness made him suddenly startled. Song Xiaole took a look on the sled next to him and laughed so much that he laughed. In Liaodong, speaking must avoid the wind. This is common sense. If you walk in the wind, you should turn your head or cover your face with your hands when speaking, but the good official doesn't understand and suffers immediately.

Li Rubai saw it and had to smile bitterly, "Fengzhang, don't talk, it's coming soon, it's coming soon." The obedient official shrank into Bao Yiman's arms when he heard this, and buried his face in the fox fur, and refused to look up again.

A group of hundreds of people walked in the wind and snow for another few hours, and suddenly dozens of fast horses galloped towards him. The leader was a young man, who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a fox fur hat on his head, a bee-pier-padded jacket on his body, and his waist belt was tightly tied, killing his waist very thinly. He was slashing his sabre on his back, and he still straightened his back in the cold wind, looking extremely tough.

"Second brother." The young man shouted all the way, and the red horse under his crotch suddenly splashed and thrust closer. He took the reins with both hands and stopped beside Li Rubai's sled. The red horse neighed, shaking its huge head and sniffed. White mist sprayed out from his nose like a sword, and it looked so strong that it looked strong.

"Ru Nan, how many times have you said, I still don't care about horsepower." Li Rubai couldn't help but stare at his younger brother Li Runan. The young man Li Runan smiled and bent down to pat the head of the red horse under his crotch, and said indifferently: "It's okay, I'll wipe his body when I go back. Our men and horses outside the pass..."

"Okay, okay, I know you're good." Li Rubai was really helpless about this younger brother, but Li Runan was the youngest among the nine brothers. He was not willing to scold his younger brother too much. The obedient official who was huddled in Bao Yiman's arms looked at him, thinking that this was obviously a boy in the rebellious period! He had to show that he had grown up in front of others all day long.

While he was talking, another horse from behind came to the front. A young man immediately brought the reins with him and shouted at Li Rubai: "Second brother."

"Fifth brother, we agreed that the second brother will lose the big maid in the room to the other party first." Li Runan grinned with her snow-white teeth, and Li Rumei said angrily: "Okay, okay, Lao Jiu, you are amazing, you lose to you. I will let Xiang Liu'er go to your room when you turn around."

Li Rubai was a little embarrassed and turned to the good official and said, "Fengzhang, this is my fifth brother Li Rumei and my ninth brother Li Runan." He introduced the two to the good official, then turned around and asked the two younger brothers to turn their heads. Let's talk about everything. Li Rumei and Li Runan were a little surprised. Who was the guy with his face buried?

Although the two were curious, the second brother spoke. They were obedient and took their subordinates together. The group of people headed towards Guangning City. The obedient official shrank his neck and watched coldly, and looked at Li Chengliang a little. It was really not easy to manage the family like a military command, and to train the sons as if they were a mountain.

After about an hour of travel, the crowd finally entered Guangning City. This Guangning City is also called Guangning Guard, which is one of the important towns on the nine sides. However, under the years of management of Ningyuan Bo Li Chengliang, Guangning City has become one of the best cities in Liaodong. After everyone entered the city, the military camps and houses in the city were integrated into one, regardless of each other. To the north of the entire city is Ningyuan Bo's mansion, with continuous painted buildings and roofs connected. As people at the time said, the Li Mansion was like a city wall.

The road in the middle of the city is very wide, which can accommodate sixteen horses in parallel. There is a stone archway on the road. It was built by the court in the eighth year of Wanli. It wrote a letter [Li Chengliang, the general officer of Liaodong and the prince of Prince Taibao, Ningyuan Bo]. Not far from the stone archway, it was the Li family. As the general officer of Liaodong, Li Chengliang built the door of the mansion similar to the military camp martial arts field, which was enough to parade.

As soon as they entered the city, Li Rubai changed the warm sedan to the good official. The Li family's children were not allowed to sit in the warm sedan, but there was no reason to let the good official do it. For the Li family, the good official was a VIP who would be detained. Li Rumei and Li Runan were surprised to see that the guests invited by their second brother were actually a young man with red lips and white teeth. However, it was difficult for the Li family to manage the family and the army at this time.

After the warm sedan chair stopped in the Li Mansion, Risa Sugatani and Nami Okuma came over to lift the curtain of the warm sedan chair for His Highness. The dear official calmed down the warm sedan chair and left the sedan chair. As soon as he sucked the cold air in the air, he felt two clear tears flowing out. Li Rubai looked at it and scratched his head. Although Feng Zhang was old, he was indeed a little younger, and he couldn't stand the wind and frost along the way.

The good official took the handkerchief handed over by Bei Herui and wiped his nose, then said to Li Rubai apologetically: "Brother Rubai, I'm telling you to laugh." He turned around and looked at the warm sedan chairs behind him. This time he followed him to Liaodong Town. Yan Qingwei was the female secretary, and Yan Dazhang asked him personally. Since they were willing to suffer, the good official didn't mind taking it with him. Moreover, Yan Qingwei and Li Rubai and Li Rusong were senior brothers and sisters, both of Xu Wenchang's disciples. In the words of this era, they can be called "the best friends in the world or the best of family, and then he also brought Maori Lan with him.

Originally, he took a few Fusang princesses to Beijing and should have separated at sea. However, Ran Maori stubbornly asked to follow him, which made the good official very unhappy. You said you are an ignorant princess, why are you not at all self-conscious? As a result, Ran Maori said, Kudo Shinichi-kun must have been buried in the sea! It is true that I am the princess of the Maori family, but I also have the right to pursue happiness. Since Shinichi-kun Kudo is dead, please give me a chance to fall in love with him!

This is a bit embarrassing to the good official, and his posture is still very low. Please give me a chance to fall in love with you! It's so sensational. Besides, Ran Maori is not like Tokugawa Turtle. This is a girl known as [Wild Rose in the West]. In the words of the Ming Dynasty, she is skilled in bows and horses and is not exhausted, so she agreed to her.

Ran Maori got out of the warm sedan chair and followed his close maid Aso Saeho. She combed her hair like the most typical Fusang princess, took a slight gaze behind the obedient official. She bowed to Li Rubai slightly, then stopped talking, and stood quietly. Li Rubai and Guguan came all the way, and naturally knew the identity of this person. Although she was just a Fusang prince, she was the concubine of the obedient official, and the princess of Fanbang, and the etiquette she should have, so she quickly replied to half a gaze.

Behind was Yan Qingwei, wearing a snow-white fox fur cloak. Although Xiaoqian's legs were good, the good official felt sorry for her and refused to take her to a bitter and cold place like Liaodong. Therefore, Miss Yan had no one to serve her. Besides, Miss Yan's current identity is the Little Master of the Good Official.

Next is Li Baoer. Li Baoer, who is proficient in abacus, has suffered a lot along the way, but he is young and has good recovery ability. He is in good spirits now. He is wearing a fiery red fox fur cloak, and Li Lie is like a fire burning, which sets off his little face.

Li Runan, who was following Li Rubai, couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "I'm not old, there are many women..." Li Rubai heard it and turned around and glared at him. Then he smiled and went over to ask his junior sister first. Thank you for your hard work on the road, Yan Qingwei was very silent all the way. At this time, she bowed to her senior brother, but didn't say anything.

At this time, the Li family opened the middle door wide, and a middle-aged man with short beards stood at the door, with a national face, firm eyes, a fox fur hat, and a round-collar jacket. He walked slowly over.

"Big Brother." Li Rubai went up and bowed first, and then introduced: "Zheng Guofan, the deputy governor of the Governor of the Five Armys in Nanjing."

This guy must be Li Rusong, a famous general of a generation! The good official thought in his heart, and smiled on his face and went up, "My little brother Zheng Guofan, I have seen Brother Rusong. My name is Binke, and my name is Fengzhang."

"Governor Zheng and I fell in love with each other at first sight and became sworn brothers." Li Rubai explained.

Li Rusong's face was calm and he said lightly: "Feng Zhang is here from afar, and he is missing and welcomes you. Please come from inside."

Everyone walked inside together, and the good official walked while thinking. No wonder everyone said that Li Rusong was arrogant, and that was really the case.

The Li family's house was extremely large, and they arranged for hundreds of people to join a huge garden. They settled down and took a bath first, so they felt refreshed. At this time, Li Rusong came in person and invited him to have a banquet in the evening.

Li Chengliang was not at home at this time. According to Li Rusong, his father led his troops to the war a few months ago, and he must have been triumphant these two days.

The obedient official took Risa Sugatani and Nami Okuma to the banquet, and did not make any details. After staying in the Li family for two days, Li Chengliang's army returned.

After hearing his eldest son say everything about the preface and afterwards, Li Chengliang sat on the tiger-skin chair and started to think.

This time he attacked Gule Village and beheaded hundreds of them. Logically, he had to ask the court to report a great victory. However, when Zheng Guofan came, he would be more careful. What does Zheng Guogong mean to choose this time? Could it be that he wanted to investigate me privately?

"Rusong, tell me." Li Chengliang has always been obsessed with both listening and understanding, so he asked his eldest son to speak. Li Rusong sorted out his words and said, "Father..."

Li Rusong has had some contact with the good officials these two days, and felt that Zheng Guofan came to make friends with him. What is the situation in the court now? A discerning person knows very well that the emperor is in charge of power but cannot beat the old foxes in the cabinet. Then, winning over local civil and military affairs is the primary task.

After hearing his son's words, Li Chengliang thought about it again and smiled. The court was not without secret spies in Liaodong Town. There were many people participating in me over the years. However, as long as there were threats from various tribes in Liaodong, it would be impossible to leave my Li family. He said immediately: "You go, just say that you want him to a banquet for your father in the evening."

In the evening, when the obedient official took Risa Sugatani and Okuma Nami into the courtyard, a tall young man came towards him, with a Shin-shaped face, thin eyes and thin lips, and a huge nose. When he saw the obedient official, he smiled, "But is General Zheng Da?"

The good official was stunned. It is probably not a foreigner who could walk around the inner house of the Li family, but he had seen the Li brothers in the past two days, but he had never seen this person!

The young man clearly saw the doubts of the good official, bent down slightly and smiled, "I am going to pay tribute to the Grand Governor."
