Through Zhao Ju's relationship, the caravan had no words on the road and went all the way south. Half a month later, it successfully arrived at BAGUAN at the junction of Fengmo and Mozambique.
Because of the explanation of yingbu, the general guarding the pass, the soldiers guarding the city didn't even check Zhao Ju's caravan, so they directly put him into the city.
After entering the BAGUAN pass, Tang Yin and Zhao Ju went straight to the general's house to see yingbu.
Tang Yin came to BAGUAN once. Now more than a year later, BAGUAN is still the same, unchanged, still broken and down. When he arrived at the general's house, Zhao Ju took two steps forward, bowed to the soldiers guarding the door, smiled and said, "the villain wants to see general yingbu. Please come in and tell me!"
Zhao Ju didn't come to visit yingbu for the first time. The bodyguards knew him, smiled politely and said, "it's Mr. Zhao Ju. Please wait a minute!" While talking, a bodyguard turned and walked into the house. The general's house is actually a relatively large house, which is very different from the general's house in Tongmen.
After a short time, the bodyguard who came in to report came out, smiled at Zhao Ju and said, "Mr. Zhao Ju, general, please!"
"Thank you, brother!" No matter when or to whom, Zhao Ju always smiles and looks polite. He bowed to the bodyguard again, and then took Tang Yin and others to the inside.
Every time he came to visit, he was alone. Now he wanted to lead Tang Yin into the room. The bodyguards immediately stopped him and asked, "Mr. Zhao Ju, they are..." as they spoke, they looked up and down at Tang Yin and others.
In fact, these people have also seen Tang Yin, but it's too long. Last time, Tang Yin was the head of the army, wearing general armor, and now ordinary people dress up. Naturally, they can't recognize him.
Zhao Ju said with a smile: "they are... My friends. They should be recommended to general yingbu..."
At this time, Tang Yin whispered to the left and right Shangguan brothers, Cheng Jin, Jiang Mo and others: "you stay outside, just Mr. Zongyuan and I go in!"
"My lord..." the people were worried and wanted to speak. Tang Yin waved his hand and said easily, "it's all right!"
Zhao Ju said that Tang Yin and others were his friends, and the Shangguan brothers and others stayed outside. The bodyguards let him in.
Through the small courtyard and into the lobby, Tang Yin and others saw yingbu sitting in the middle. Yingbu still looks like a slovenly and listless man. He is wearing shabby casual clothes, untidy clothes and loose buttons. He doesn't look like a general at all, but more like a homeless tramp.
"Mr. Zhao Ju!"
Seeing Zhao Ju coming from the outside, yingbu just slightly owed himself. He didn't look at Tang Yin and Zongyuan who came with Zhao Ju, but regarded them as Zhao Ju's servants.
Tang Yin secretly laughed. He was like this when he first saw yingbu. At that time, his first impression of this person was also very poor.
"This time, Mr. Zhao Ju must have gained a lot!" Yingbu asked absently.
"Ha ha! Thanks to the blessing of the general, I barely lost money." Zhao Ju's three sentences are inseparable from the merchant's surname. Even if he makes more money, he won't say it. He paused and continued, "this time, the villain has brought two friends for the general!"
"Oh?" Until then, yingbu looked at Tang Yin and Zongyuan. Seeing Zong Yuan, yingbu didn't feel much. He glanced directly at Tang Yin, but after seeing Tang Yin clearly, his eyes suddenly stared round, his head was stretched out, Zizi looked at him carefully, and then said, "you... You are..."
"Tang Yin!" Tang Yin raised his head, looked at Shang yingbu, made him see himself clearly, smiled and asked, "why? Did general yingbu forget me so soon?"
"Ah?" Yingbu couldn't react for a moment. He sat in his chair and looked at Tang Yin with tongue tied eyes. He couldn't speak for a long time. It's incredible that Tang Yin should arrive at Ba Guan. Isn't the Tianyuan army in Lehu county now? Why did Tang Yin suddenly come to himself? After being stunned for a long time, Ying Bu jumped up from his chair, hurried to Tang Yin, looked up and down, and said with surprise and joy: "Lord Tang? You... How did you come to Ba Guan?"
Tang Yin smiled and said bluntly, "general yingbu, I'm here for you!"
"Ah..." yingbu took a breath and looked at him blankly.
Tang Yin didn't immediately explain his intention. As soon as the conversation turned, he looked around and said with a smile: "it's still the same here. It's no different from when I left last time."
Yingbu also pondered what Tang Yin meant by what he said just now, and casually replied, "in another hundred years, Ba Guan will still be like this."
Tang Yin asked, "is general yingbu really going to stay in this ghost place all his life?"
Yingbu's body was shocked and murmured to Tang Yin's eyes, "Lord Tang means..."
"Join hands with me to eradicate the traitor Zhong Tian!" Tang Yin said, "when the overall situation has been decided, the large and small official positions in the capital can be selected by the British general!"
Ah! Yingbu's heart was shocked. At this time, his head turned around. Tang Yin came all the way to BAGUAN from Lehu county to win over himself. Do you want to accept Tang Yin's invitation and submit to Tang Yin? Yingbu is not stupid. He looks like a rough man on the surface. In fact, he is very smart.
When he was weighing the pros and cons, Tang Yin asked: "judging from the current situation, does general yingbu think Zhong Tian, the king of Peng, can do it for a long time?"
Hearing this, yingbu's body trembled again. After thinking for a moment, he didn't hesitate. Then he bowed to Tang Yin and said in a straight way: "since the last time my Lord came to dominate the pass, the last general has admired my lord very much. Today my lord invited me in person. I'm willing to work for my Lord and break my bones!"
Tang Yin smiled on her back, picked up yingbu and said, "with the help of general yingbu, great things can be accomplished!"
As Tang Yin expected at the beginning, it is easy to accept yingbu, which is a natural thing.
Yingbu has been a guard general in the ghost place of BAGUAN for several years, and has long planned to return to the capital. However, it is difficult for you to do so, and he can't go back. Now Tang Yin has offered this attractive condition. Yingbu is naturally excited. More importantly, Zhong Tian is weak at present, while Tang Yin is strong. It is more reliable to join Tang Yin than to work under Zhong Tian's command. Moreover, he has had contact with Tang Yin for a long time, I appreciate Tang Yin's behavior and am willing to work for him from the bottom of my heart.
Although yingbu stated that he was willing to take refuge in Tang Yin, he immediately showed his embarrassment and looked like he wanted to talk and stop.
Tang Yin noticed and asked, "is there anything difficult for general yingbu to hide?"
Ying Bu's face was bitter and said, "there are two things. First, my family is the capital. If I obey my Lord, my family may be poisoned by the old thief Zhong Tian!"
Tang Yin nodded understandingly. As an important frontier fortress like BAGUAN, the family members of its general will generally be left in the capital. The purpose is to keep him as a hostage to prevent the general from supporting the army and respecting himself, plotting rebellion or treason. He smiled and said, "don't worry about this, general yingbu. Zhong Tian won't know about your obedience to me. In the future, you'll still stay in BAGUAN as your guard general. Just when Zhong Tian escapes to you, you can seal the city and stop him from entering the city! At that time, even if Zhong Tian wants to harm your family, it's out of reach!"
"Oh!" Hearing this, yingbu breathed out that Tang Yin didn't intend to take himself away and wanted to stay in BAGUAN. Of course, this is the best.
"What's the second thing?" Tang Yin asked.
"Since the old thief Zhong Tian usurped the throne, although I was still the guard General of the pass, Zhong Tian sent another deputy general named Zhou Shun. He said that he was my deputy. In fact, he was to supervise me. It was inconvenient for him to act, but he couldn't solve him directly. It was really troublesome!"
"Oh!" Tang Yin thought thoughtfully and said with a smile, "don't make public what you and I discuss. What's normal and what's still going on in the future, I'm sure Zhou Shun can't notice anything."
"Yes!" Yingbu nodded and said, "I listen to your excellency."
While they were talking, a bodyguard ran to the door of the lobby, looked at yingbu, bowed and said, "general, Lord Zhou, please see me!"
Yingbu frowned. Zhou Shun, why don't you come late? It's just this time? He looked nervously at Tang Yin and asked in a low voice, "Sir, look..."
Tang Yin was much calmer than yingbu. He waved his hand with a smile, pointed to his clothes and said, "now I'm brother Zhao's servant. Zhou Shun can't recognize me!"
Yingbu looked at Tang Yin's thick linen pants, patted his head, shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm really confused!" As he spoke, he raised his head to the bodyguard and said, "please come near, Lord Zhou!"
"Yes, general!"
The bodyguard promised and couldn't help looking at Tang Yin again. He turned and left quickly.
Before long, with a burst of footsteps, a middle-aged man in official clothes came near from the outside. The man was in his early 40s. His appearance was ordinary, with a pair of small eyes. Entering the lobby, he saluted yingbu and looked at Tang Yin, Zongyuan and Zhao Ju with the rest of his eye.
As Tang Yin said, Zhou Shun didn't recognize his identity at all, and most of his attention was focused on Zhao Ju.
Zhao Ju is a businessman of Mozambique. He knows that he often haunts the border between Mozambique and Mozambique. However, he doesn't take it to heart. After all, there are too many smugglers like Zhao Ju on the border. Yingbu takes good care of Zhao Ju. He also thinks that yingbu takes advantage of others and pretends not to see.
Since Zhou Shun came recently, yingbu's face has been cold. He asked suspiciously, "what's the matter with Lord Zhou?"
Zhou Shun smiled and said, "I heard that there are guests in the general's house. I'm bored at home, so I'll come and have a look."
"Hum!" Zhao Ju humed coldly and smiled, turned his head elsewhere, and even looked at him lazily.
