To Rule in a Turbulent World

"That's right." Zhang Wenhan said, "How did the young master do in the exam?"

Several people remembered this, and You Miao really didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

"Can you order a tribute." You Miao said, "I don't know anything else."

Li Zhifeng came out after changing his clothes, and said with a smile: "Of course I can hit it."

You Miao said: "Don't rush away, is there time?"

Li Zhifeng said: "Hurry up, take the north road, rest less and run more, you can arrive in ten days, it's summer, there is no snow."

Cheng Guangwu said: "I came here by the north road, there are wandering barbarians everywhere, it's too dangerous."

You Miao said: "Either you take the south road, and Cangzhou passes through the mountains."

Li Zhifeng: "I am a dog soldier, they will not make things difficult for me."

As soon as these words came out, several people remembered Li Zhifeng's identity, and Li Zhifeng said again: "Let's go."

"Wait!" You Miao chased him out, and said: "You look at something, my uncle must be too busy alone, don't rush to Beijing, since you are back, you can come back after finishing everything."

Li Zhifeng nodded, riding on the horse, You Miao raised his head, his eyes were blinded by the harsh summer sun, and said, "If I can really be selected as a Jinshi, I will probably stay in Beijing in the spring of next year. You don't have to worry."

Li Zhifeng: "Yes."

You Miao's eyebrows twitched, and she wanted to say something more, but Li Zhifeng's tall figure blocked the sunlight.

Then Li Zhifeng's handsome figure turned slightly on the horse, with his feet clamped on the horse's belly, he rolled over on his side, bowed like a juggler, bowed his head in front of You Miao, and kissed him lightly on the lips.

You Miao was amused.

"I'll go and fix the waterwheel." Li Zhifeng reined in the horse: "Drive!"

With the sound of horseshoes, Li Zhifeng left Taixue, walked up the long street, and left in dust.

On the second day after Li Zhifeng went back, there was finally a torrential rain in the capital, and even the Taixue was flooded. The scholars who were waiting for the rankings lifted their trousers and waded in the yard, and some of them took off naked to take a bath in the rain .

You Miao sat on the porch with her knees hugged and watched the rain. The rain was dripping under the eaves, and there was a large expanse of whiteness between the sky and the earth.Li Zhifeng didn't know where he was, You Miao thought to himself.

Taking the north road to the south of the Yangtze River, you have to pass Yanbian City and Zhengliang Pass. I don't know how he felt when he crossed the vast expanse.If it was You Miao, she would probably stay outside Maguan, be dazed for a while, and ride her horse home.Would he want to go home and have a look?Are you entrusting the rest of your life to yourself?

The aroma of tea rose, and Zhang Wenhan said, "Master, let's drink tea."

You Miao said: "Today, my mouth is weak, but I want to drink some green tea... Li Zhifeng!"

Cheng Guangwu came out and said, "Master."

You Miao couldn't laugh or cry, she was used to screaming, she couldn't change it for a while, and said: "Bring the Biyuqingfeng on the shelf."

The two were drinking tea, and You Miao asked again: "Wenhan, if we can both win Gongshi, the whole Jiangnan will not dare to underestimate our family."

Zhang Wenhan said with a smile: "The young master donated [-] catties of grain last year, and let Li Zhifeng go back to open a warehouse for disaster relief. No one in Yangzhou has dared to underestimate the young master."

You Miao shook her head and smiled, and said, "My father and Brother Cheap don't know what they're doing at this meeting."

After a while of gossip, there was the sound of horseshoes outside, and a deep man's voice asked, "Excuse me, does the wanderer live here?"

You Miao felt that the voice was vaguely familiar, so she sat up straight and said to the outside, "I'm here! Who is it?"

The visitor dismounted from the horse outside the courtyard, came in wearing a hat, and stood in the courtyard to look at You Miao. He was dressed as a general, wearing armor, with a long sword on his waist, with his left hand on his waist, and his right hand raised the bamboo hat a little.

"General Nie?!" You Miao was startled, and asked, "When did you come back? Please hurry up."

It was Nie Dan who came, nodded slowly towards You Miao, and said: "Nie Dan was recalled to Beijing today, and he is going to the Ministry of War. He heard that Younger Brother You Xian is going to take the exam in Beijing, so he came over to ask for a cup of tea."

Nie Dan's official residence is now recruiting envoys from Sanpin Shuonan, General Wu De, who single-handedly resisted the barbarians from beyond the Great Wall, his reputation is like thunder, all the scholars in the courtyard came out one after another to see this extraordinary man.

Zhang Wenhan gave up his seat and said repeatedly: "Please, General."

Nie Dan came to sit down, the bamboo hat was still dripping water, You Miao knew that Nie Dan already knew that he and Zhao Chao were friends, and regarded him as one of his own, and wanted to get out the tea, but Nie Dan said: "There is no need to make it again."

You Miao poured the brewed tea to him and said, "Why did Brother Nie come back suddenly? How is the war in the north?"

Nie Dan said in a low voice: "Nothing happened in the north, I was just going to ask you, can you get the news from the son of the Minister of War?"

You Miao said, "I'll go to inquire in a few days, brother please."

You Miao handed him the tea, and Nie Dan drank it in one gulp, saying, "More, thirsty."

You Miao saw that he was busy in the world, and then realized that Nie Dan must have come all the way from the north, non-stop, and hadn't had a sip of water when he entered the capital. What is so serious that he must call the general all the way back alone?

You Miao was preoccupied, and asked, "How does Brother Nie know that I live here?"

Nie Dan said: "His Highness May [-]rd wrote to me about you."

You Miao nodded, changed a teacup, and poured him a full bowl of tea. Nie Dan drank it all, and said, "The seventh day of July, if you are free, would you like to come to my house for a drink?"

You Miao was stunned, and then countless thoughts turned in her mind, and then she knew that Nie Dan had something to say to herself, and said bluntly, "Okay."

Nie Dan nodded, got up and walked into the rain, turned on his horse and left. Almost all the disciples in the corridor ran out to look around, and followed him out, watching Nie Dan leave.

"You Ziqian!" Someone came to ask, "Is that General Nie?"

"Yes." You Miao smiled.

"How do you know him?" Someone asked again: "He is a great hero!"

"I..." You Miao couldn't laugh or cry when thinking about the past, "I had a fight with him at the gate of the city three years ago, and that's how we got to know each other."

At the beginning, You Miao didn't like to see Nie Dan very much. At first, she just didn't feel it. Later, she learned that Nie Dan's official position was the military officer in charge of city defense when he was in the capital.When checking the caravan in person, it should be You Miao who doesn't know Mount Tai.

Then I heard that Nie Dan was transferred to Yanbian to fight against the horse bandits of the Hu tribe, and he made great achievements repeatedly, so he gave birth to some admiration. The invasion was all thanks to him being in charge.Even Sun Yu spoke highly of him, saying that he used troops unconventionally and had his own rules.
