After a sleepless night, it was dawn in a blink of an eye.

Luo Ming didn't let anyone see him off, he drove a carriage out of the imperial city alone, and met Jiang Nianbai and others at Shiliting.

Three thousand elite soldiers lined up neatly, and the neighing of horses and the trampling of horseshoes could be heard from afar.

Luo Ming jumped out of the carriage, met the accompanying adults first, and waved his hands without saying much, "Let's go!"

The civil servants all got into the carriage, and seven or eight generals got on their horses. Luo Ming also changed into a tall and dark horse, rode the horse and whipped it, and went up the official road.

One day after Luo Ming and others left, Prime Minister Liu Pei hurriedly sent a letter to Beimang. The letter stated several points: [-]. Luo Ming was sent to Beimang, in case he could escape the ambush on the road and Mang's capital city is Xinyu, Bei Mang must try to kill Luo Ming, and never let him return to Dongli; [-]. Attack south quickly, Dongli's army is weak, so there is nothing to fear.When Bei Mang invaded the Dongli Imperial City, he and the eldest prince Luo Jun must have met each other face to face, and opened the city gate to welcome Bei Mang's army into the city; the third and seventh princes disappeared.

The letter was written in the name of the eldest prince Luo Jun. When Liu Pei took the letter and handed it to Luo Jun for signature, Luo Jun's hands trembled.

Luo Jun stared at his name, feeling panicked as a handful of weeds grew in his heart.At this point, he was on Liu Pei's boat. Once this letter was sent out, no one would believe him if he said he was persecuted by Liu Pei.

Luo Jun hesitated, picked up the wax a few times, and put it down again a few times. Liu Pei looked down on him for being so reckless and hesitant, snorted coldly, turned his head and left the room.

Zhang Qiao stepped forward and persuaded, "My lord, you don't care about small things when you do big things. You are the eldest son of Dongli's emperor. It's a legitimate thing to be enthroned. It's all because the emperor is too partial. Otherwise, with your intelligence and knowledge, what point is worse than King Jing?" Woolen cloth!"

Luo Jun smiled wryly, and sighed in mourning, "I sold my ancestors by collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country! Is it really worth the money I got in this way?"

Luo Jun sighed for a while, and finally took the sealant, sealed the letter, stamped his private seal, and handed it to Zhang Qiao, covering his face in silence.

Zhang Qiao persuaded him a few more words before he came out and handed the letter to Liu Pei. Liu Pei went to find someone to deliver the letter to Bei Mang.

After the letter was sent out, Liu Pei arranged for several groups of people to ambush on the official road from Luo Ming to Beimang, ambush all the way.Tell the leader that Luo Ming's head must be beheaded, and the envoys who went to Beimang must be killed, otherwise they will come to see him.

The leader looks strange, with a pointed head and narrow forehead, like an awl, and people in the Jianghu call him "Drilling Sky Mouse".Zhan Tianshu often helps Liu Pei deal with officials from the DPRK and China that he dislikes.

Just listening to Liu Pei's tone, Zhuan Tianshu knew that this time it was a big deal, took a deposit of a thousand taels of gold, went back and recruited nearly a thousand desperadoes from all corners of the world, and planned to intercept and kill Luo Ming.

Let's not mention these for now, let's talk about Luo Ming and others.

Since the team left the capital, they have been heading north all the way, eating and sleeping in the open.

After walking for more than ten days, crossing provinces and counties, the further north we went, the more desolate the road became. Gradually, the loess filled the sky, the vegetation was scarce, and even human habitation was not common.

The weather is already late autumn, the sight is bleak, the weeds on the roadside are decaying, the yellow grass stalks are scraped on the ground, and they can't hold the soil at all. When the wind blows, the yellow sand is blown up, and the sky is covered. The soldiers have nowhere to hide. Hiding, I can only bear it for life. After walking for a day against the big yellow wind, the generals were almost buried in the soil, and the civil servants were also poured into the cold wind in the carriage, and they couldn't stand it anymore.

Luo Ming sent people to investigate, to see if there were any villages or inns in front of them, and the others took shelter in a leeward place, resting where they were, and waited for the investigators to return.

Looking around, the sight is desolate, the hills are undulating, it is unobstructed, and there are not even a few tall trees.Several generals jumped into the carriage, and a dozen or so soldiers gathered together, each back to back, to shield the people behind from the wind and sand.

Zhao Meng stood by the shaft of the car, looked back several times, scratching his ears and cheeks anxiously.Luo Ming told him to get into the carriage, but Zhao Meng only vaguely agreed, but the man stood still, staring straight at the road they came, and became more and more anxious.

Luo Ming knew something was wrong when he saw it.Jumped out of the carriage and asked him what was wrong.

Zhao Meng chuckled twice, "No...it's okay..."

Luo Ming smiled and said, "Oh, are you okay? That's fine."

Lifting the curtain of the car, Luo Ming got into the car.Zhao Meng hurriedly grabbed him, stomped his feet and said, "My brother, you, aren't you trying to run me alive?"

Zhao Meng looked on the road when he was going back and forth again, the wind was blowing, the sky was covered with loess, and he couldn't even see the sun.At this time, it was just after Shenshi, but the weather was already very yellow, and the people on the opposite side were covered in the foam and couldn't see clearly, let alone the back.

"Hey", Zhao Meng sighed angrily: "He didn't want to see me in the first place, and now he doesn't want to talk to me anymore!"

Luo Ming saw that he was hesitating, and he said what he said just now. After a second thought, he immediately guessed, "Brother Ying?"

Zhao Meng nodded, carefully looked at Luo Ming's face, grinned, and said with a smile: "Brother Ying is also kind! Only, he has been following us secretly..."

Luo Ming's face was gloomy, and Zhao Meng was too frightened to speak anymore, his heart was beating drums, and he only hoped that Mi Yingjie would not blame him for a while.

Luo Ming pointed at Zhao Meng, and said angrily: "It's just nonsense! Brother Ying is young, so it's okay to be ignorant, why are you following him in a muddle? You know he is following, why don't you drive him back?"

Zhao Meng scratched his head. He also wanted to kick him out, but when Mi Yingjie smiled at him, Zhao Meng became dizzy.If it wasn't for the yellow wind blowing at this moment, Zhao Meng was afraid that Mi Yingjie would be damaged by the strong wind, and he might not know when this matter would be exposed.

"Don't bring him here!"

With Luo Ming's words, Zhao Meng was so happy that he jumped up and down, agreed repeatedly, pulled his yellow puma and galloped away.

After a cup of tea, he really came back with Mi Yingjie.

Mi Yingjie ran out secretly.

Luo Ming asked for an order to go to Beimang for peace talks. Mi Yingjie had approached Luo Ming several times and wanted to go with him.Luo Ming sternly refused, and said directly, "No!"

Luo Ming has always treated Mi Yingjie like a brother, and he usually speaks softly and kindly, never speaking loudly.Luo Ming was afraid that Mi Yingjie would lose his master's temper and would disregard his parents' objections and clamor to go with him, so he categorically refused, and told him rather sternly: don't mess around.

Mi Yingjie was indeed frightened by Luo Ming, and went home listlessly by himself, shutting himself in the house as soon as he entered the house, ignoring anyone and not speaking.

This time the whole family of Mi's family was determined, Mr. Mi had already let go, no matter how much Mi Yingjie made a fuss, this time he couldn't follow his will.Arrange all the servants in the family to watch him in three shifts, and never let Mi Yingjie step out of the gate of Mi's house.Mi Deyuan also ordered his wife and daughter to come into Mi Yingjie's house from time to time to persuade him.In this way, I can see if he is obediently staying in the room, and secondly, I am afraid that he will be overwhelmed and feel bored.

Even with such a strict defense, it didn't stop Mi Yingjie.

He slept in the house for three days. After waking up, he simply tidied up, stunned two servants, stole a horse, rode it quietly, slipped out of the imperial city, and headed north.

Mi Yingjie came out in a hurry, and he didn't bring much money with him. It was his first time to travel far, and he really suffered a lot along the way.Once I lived in a black shop, and almost let the shop owner put it down with drugs, butchered it to make human meat buns.Fortunately, he saw a pool of blood and human hair by the wall, so he became suspicious and didn't drink the wine on the table, otherwise he would have died without knowing how.

He kicked over the table and fought with the people. Unexpectedly, the owner of the shop was very skilled in martial arts, and his subordinates were not good at it. Mi Yingjie suffered a lot and escaped in embarrassment.The burden on his body was also lost, but fortunately the horse was still there, so he asked people for food all the way, and chased Luo Ming all the way.

A few days ago, if Zhao Meng hadn't spotted him while patrolling around, Mi Yingjie would have starved to death.The route he was chasing was wrong, and he had deviated from the official path. Zhao Meng also wanted to go to the hillside to have a look at it on a whim, otherwise the two of them would have missed it.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, Zhao Meng got into the carriage first, and Mi Yingjie dawdled outside the carriage for a while before raising the curtain and entering.

Finding a corner and sitting down, Mi Yingjie lowered his head, hugged his knees with his hands, rested his chin on his knees, and remained silent.

Zhao Meng tugged at the corner of Luo Ming's clothes, telling him to say something.Luo Ming looked at Mi Yingjie in the corner, and said in a vicious voice, "Is he still reasonable?"

It was fine if Luo Ming didn't speak, but when he spoke, Mi Yingjie immediately felt wronged, his eye sockets swelled, his nose felt sour, and tears burst out of his eyes.

His small face was dark, and he hadn't washed it for a few days. Tears ran across his cheeks, and there were a few black mud marks, like a cat.

Zhao Meng became anxious, hurried over to comfort him, then glared at Luo Ming, "You can't talk well, and scare him again!"

Luo Ming also softened his heart.Not only is Mi Yingjie's face smudged, but the clothes on his body are also terribly dirty. The cuffs and necklines are all greasy. After changing the usual clothes, let alone wearing them for him, even if they are worn by other people, Mi Yingjie will even despise them. of.

He stared into a pair of big eyes and wept silently. Tears rolled out of his eyes and slid down his cheeks, revealing the white jade-like skin inside.The contrast between black and white makes it even more pitiful.

He took out a cloth towel from the car, soaked it in water, and wiped the plaster on Mi Yingjie's face. Luo Ming softly advised, "It's my fault. Stop crying."

Mi Yingjie slapped Luo Ming's wrist with a wave of his hand, knocked off the cloth towel in his hand, and cried, "You just look down on me! I want to come, I want to... go to Beimang I just want to let those Northern Mang Tartars know that Dongli's good man is not just being bullied by others!"

He cried while talking, his voice was intermittent, and he was so excited that he couldn't even speak clearly after sobbing.

Luo Ming secretly scolded himself for being reckless. Knowing that Mi Yingjie had a youthful heart and a passion for serving the country and killing the enemy, he blocked the child back so simply and rudely. No wonder he felt wronged.

He hurriedly talked to Zhao Meng to comfort him, and after a while of coaxing, Mi Yingjie stopped crying.

After wiping away his tears, Mi Yingjie became ashamed. Thinking of how badly he cried just now, he couldn't help but blushed, didn't dare to lift his head, hugged his knees, and was even more embarrassed to speak.
