"What are you here?"

Three postmen landed on the shore, vigilantly at the surrounding guards. [】就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就就�

This place belongs to the territory of Liaodong, and is not far from Shanhaiguan. It will never be the invasion of Tatars or Oirats, and the horse bandits and thieves cannot appear here. Such a severe cold and premature aura will be cut off from the business brigades outside the pass, and few people dare to intercept officers and soldiers.

Furthermore, when officers and soldiers are dispatched in this climate, they either have a large number of people or suffer from such miserable people. They don’t have much money to do, and once they are dispatched, the property they get cannot be consumed by the heavy snow and cold winter. Therefore, the horse bandits and thieves also want to be in the winter, and at most they will appear near the mountain village where they live and search for the local people.

Xia Xun's guards revealed their identity to them. After checking their white waist signs, the three postmen became intimate: "It turned out that they were brothers from the Guan side and were going to Liaodong Town. We were coming from there to Beijing City and sending a letter to the Yang Governor's Mansion."

One of the postmen smiled and the guards in front of him praised: "Not bad! When the brothers in the pass first arrived at us, most of them would freeze into quails, but you still looked like they were fierce and fierce. This ability is amazing."

Xia Xun's guards revealed their identity to them, and only revealed their identity as Ming army. Of course, it was impossible to catch a loudspeaker and say everywhere that he was escorting the Duke of Sui to Liaodong. The postman casually said "Duke Yang". Before the guards could go to heart, Xia Xun was moved and asked, "Which Duke Yang is this?"

The postman saw that although this man was wearing a cold-resistant leather robe that was the same as other guards, his expression was good. He knew that he must be a general and an official, so he didn't dare to neglect it. He said, "Duke Yang is the Duke of the State! Duke Fu was once the governor of Liaodong. Although Duke has returned to the court, our Liaodong people have already returned to court. Diary 1 of our Liaodong is the good man of the Duke of the State. When we mention Duke Fu, we all say that Duke Yang. Duke Fu is from the court. Duke Yang is exclusive to our Liaodong. Hehe, are we close?"

A warm current surged through Xia Xun's heart and said with a smile: "Do you think Yang Xu?"

The postman's face changed and he said, "Where are you? Jing dares to call Yang Du Ming!"

Several guards around Xia Xun couldn't help laughing and said in a slight manner: "You said that Yang Duke is your own. Now the Duke of the Fuguo is standing in front of you, why don't you recognize him?"

The postman was shocked and said in a lost voice: "What? This...is Governor Yang? Is the Duke of the Fu Kingdom?"

Xia Xun smiled and said, "Of course there will be no impersonation."

In order to avoid excessive lip and tongue, Xia Xun showed his seal collar. When the postman saw it, the three postman knelt down in a hurry and said in surprise and joy: "The young men are ordered by Marquis Ding to go to Beijing to see the master. I didn't expect to meet him here. Master, are you going to regain Liaodong?"

Xia Xun said: "When you get up and talk, you don't have to be polite. My country's Duke went to Liaodong under the orders to pay attention to the Tatar situation. Did Ding Yu send you here?"

The three postmen stood up and said, "It was Mr. Ding who sent him."

When he took out the secret letter hidden in Huai, he presented it to Xia Xun with both hands, and said, "Mr. Ding ordered that you must rush to Beijing as quickly as possible and hand it to the master. It would be better to meet here."

A dozen guards stood up and blocked the wind and snow at the wind and snow for Xia Xun. Xia Xun opened Ding Yu's secret letter, and after a hurry, it changed color. His heart was heavy and he didn't move for a long time. His hands, holding the letter paper, were frozen there, and the letter paper was trembling in the wind.

"Mr., what's wrong with you?"

Yan Chuan, the commander of the guards beside Xia Xun, couldn't help asking when he saw his expression change drastically.

Xia Xun shook his head gently, folded the letter, put it in his arms, slowly walked away a few steps, looking northwest, stood still, and the wind and snow came to his face, but he was like a sculpture, without feeling cold at all. The guards looked at each other, not knowing what an accident had happened. Someone quietly asked the postman who sent the letter, but the postman was just sending the letter, but he didn't know what the letter said.

After a long time, Xia Xun turned around and asked the three postmen: "Since I am here, you don't have to go to Beijing, take me to the nearest post station!"

※※※※※※※※ With a "bang!", Xia Xun took off his leather robe and threw it into the chair, which made a sound of heavy objects falling to the ground. The leather robe was also frozen hard in the wind and snow. The postmaster Shi Qiusheng quickly brought a basin of steaming water and said diligently: "Mr., please cleanse your face!"

Shi Yicheng was a Han Ren who moved his family to the outside of the pass through two generations. Originally, the four brothers were named Shi Chunsheng, Shi Xiasheng, Shi Qiusheng, and Shi Dongsheng, with a new character, in order to avoid the homophonic death of Shi, but at that time, the entrance death rate was high, and the Shi family lived in a particularly difficult time outside the pass. The name was obtained for Guli, but it could not be fully preserved. Two of the four brothers died in childhood, leaving only Shi Qiusheng and his elder brother Shi Chunsheng.

Now, Shi Chunsheng follows the business wave in Liaodong and has been a specialist in purchasing and transporting fur merchants. Shi Qiusheng worked as a postman in his early years and worked hard for many years. Now he has become an official of the postman. Although the postman is located in Liaodong Road and has little oil and water, his family is ten thousand times stronger than that of that year. His small postman has never received such a large official. Shi Yicheng was afraid that his subordinates would make the Duke unhappy, so he served him personally.

Xia Xun's face was covered with marmot oil for cold resistance. As soon as he entered the room, he was about to wash his face. He first wet his face, then used soap beans and changed two basins of water to wash his face. Then he ordered the postmaster, "Go down and work hard, I'll take a break!"

Shi Yicheng felt relieved and quickly said flatteringly: "There is food being cooked under the stove. The Duke of the State will rest first, and I will deliver it to you in a short while!"

When Xia Xunhou's postmaster left, he ordered Yan Chuan, the guard standing at the door: "Go and call Tang Feng, Zhang Tao, and He Yaoyang!"

Shi Yicheng went out of the Duke's bedroom and saw the postmen busy receiving more than 100 guards brought by the Duke. If you say that the post office outside the pass is not good, it is all because the biggest one outside the pass is soldiers. The military man is born in a troop, wild and wild, and has little politeness. When he arrived at the post office, he was domineering and was quite good to drink. If one person didn't deal with it, it would be common for him to whip you or kick you.

At this time, the post office had not been included in the peripheral organization of the Jinyiwei as later. Without a tough backstage, they had to bully him. However, the guards of the Duke of the National Palace are easier to talk to than those ordinary soldiers. This is not the Duke of the National Palace, who knows how to be polite and follow the rules. Compared with those ordinary border soldiers, they are naturally more aimless than the top. However, the Duke of the National Palace is right in front of him, but the Duke of the National Palace is dared to show his majesty.

Therefore, the postmen were not scolded. They took care of horses, carried horses, drank horses, stables, fed food, selected accommodation, arranged tea and meals, and performed their duties. The guards did not make it difficult for them. Shi Yicheng was relieved when he saw this, and ran to the kitchen to arrange food.

The postmen were busy feeding the horse corridor and arranging rooms. These buildings had not been moved in for a long time. The beddings had to be taken from the warehouse and the fire pits were burned. The guards were not idle either. They were in to explore the surrounding environment, and they had to place police posts, corners of the courtyard, roofs, and watchtowers, and they were all placed in themselves. Others were standing under the corridor outside Xiaxun's room. On the one hand, the leaders who were called in by the Duke came out to stand guard and wait for the postmen to clean up the room.

In the room, when he heard Xia Xun’s plan, the four guards were blown up.

"No, I don't agree! The Duke of the State cannot take this strange risk!"

He Yaoyang blushed and growled with a thick neck, "The situation of the strait is unpredictable now. If the Duke wants to save the Sakura girl, he cannot take risks alone. If he wants to go, he has to go to Liaodong first, lead a large army to enter the Tatars in the name of mediation, and then negotiate with the Oirat."

Xia Xun said slowly: "In the past, the Oirat did not dare to hurt my important officials in the early days. Now they dared not. If I rushed there, it would seem thrilling, but in fact there would be no danger. If I go to Liaodong first, then to Tatars, and then contact the Oirat, it will last for a long time, and I am afraid that there will be more troubles when I have to go to the night and dreams."

Zhang Tao retorted: "Duke, they dare not act openly, don't they dare to act secretly? We only have this little entry. Once we reach their territory, wouldn't we be at their mercy? Now that the forces in the grassland are in chaos, if we kill the Duke, we can still push the boat to their opponents. The Duke should understand that the imperial court should pacify the outside world in one fell swoop. If there is a scapegoat, even if the Duke is respected, the imperial court will not be unwilling to let go. We must pursue it! Furthermore, even if we pursue it, what can we find out? For this reason, don't they dare to take action?"

Of course, Xia Xun knew that what Zhang Tao said was true. As long as he could shirk responsibility and as long as he was in the forefront, the Ming Dynasty would definitely endure it at this critical moment. This is politics. Moreover, they could not bear it, and they really couldn't find out the truth? Can he start a war to destroy the entire grassland tribe for him? If that happens, the northern part of the Nakamo would become the second Annan, which was a hundred times more difficult than Annan. The Ming Dynasty's war cost ten times, a hundred times more than the grassland tribe. Before they could be wiped out, the Ming Dynasty itself was exhausted first, and the public was in agitation.

However, Sakura was born in Moling and was dragged into this storm by him. She was not a soldier of the Ming Dynasty. Even if she put aside her personal affair, how could Xia Xun stand by and put her life and death into death? Go to Liaodong first and then to Tatars. This reversal will take at least half a month or even a month. In such a long time, many things can happen.

Xia Xun was calm on the surface and his heart was as calm as water. In fact, since he received this news, he had never really calmed down. He felt a sense of resentment from his chest and was restless all the time, just forcing himself to suppress himself! Seeing the guards strongly opposing, Xia Xun suppressed himself a little and said in a deep voice: "What if I must go?"

Tang Feng, Yan Chuan, He Yaoyang and others glanced at each other, slowly knelt up, and said in a deep voice: "The responsibilities of the low-ranking officials are to protect the safety of the Duke. If the Duke insists on his own, the low-ranking officials have to offend him!"

Xia Xun raised his eyebrows and said, "Dare you dare to attack me?"

Tang Feng said: "I dare not do the job, but my responsibilities are dependent on you!"

Xia Xun smiled faintly and said, "You are not my opponent!"

Zhang Tao jumped off the ground and shouted loudly: "So, what about adding them?"

“Come in!”

He Yaoyang shouted loudly, and the well-trained guards standing outside the door rushed in immediately!
