Yang Ning and the others followed the route they came from, first down the Dahei River, and then turned to the northeast. After walking for two full days, they found the campsite where they set out at dusk.

In the distance, the size of the camp was several times larger, and many flags of the Ming army were planted in the camp. It seemed that the Ming army sent from Datong to support them had already arrived.

The two Ming army majors guarding the gate looked at the three men who looked like savages suspiciously for a long time, then reluctantly went in to report.

Soon, there was a rush of footsteps in the camp. Yang Ning looked up and saw Zhang Weinian, Du Shan and others running out in a hurry. There was also a tall military general at the front, Yang Ning. It turned out to be Chang Dayong. It seemed that it was he who led the team to come to the rescue this time.

"Brother Yang, you are back. If you are no longer seen after today, General Chang will send people out to look for you tomorrow," Zhang Weinian said to Yang Ning in surprise and joy.

"Haha, I'm back safe and sound, but it's really a sin to make you worry. Yang Ning apologizes again." Yang Ning solemnly saluted Zhang Weinian and others, causing everyone to panic and avoid them. .

"Brother Chang, I didn't expect you to come in person this time. Now I feel relieved. By the way, when did you arrive," Yang Ning said to Chang Dayong.

Chang Dayong was naturally familiar with Yang Ning, and he laughed and said: "It's been three days, but I haven't seen you since I arrived. It scared me so much. If you don't come back, I will really have to send troops to find you."

"Oh, forget it. I originally wanted to go hunting. Who would have thought that I met a pack of wolves and got lost. I wandered around the grassland for a few days and then I came back. Well, I also saved a child. , Look at how embarrassed I am, brothers, I almost missed seeing you," Yang Ning said half-truthfully, half-falsely, explaining his absence for a few days without leaving any trace, and looking at the looks of everyone, Apparently there wasn't much doubt.

When he heard that Yang Ning had encountered a pack of wolves, Dushan's expression changed and he said: "Eunuch Yang, you are really lucky. You encountered a pack of wolves on the grassland, especially in this season, when the grassland wolves are the most hungry. How can you still survive?" The person who escaped with his life was definitely blessed by the true God."

"Hey, the horse is just running fast. Fortunately, we encountered a mountain and hid in the mountain, so we escaped. Forget it, let's not talk about this. Let's go in, pack up, and start our journey early tomorrow morning," Yang Ning didn't want to continue. this topic.

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly let Yang Ning and the others in.

Yang Ning first couldn't wait to see the imprisoned "Zhao Quan" and the main criminals under him. He was relieved when he saw that they were all guarded by Chang Dayong on the third floor and the outer three floors. Come.

Looking at the crazy "Zhao Quan" who was making a sound in his mouth, Ma Wu said to Yang Ning: "It's strange to say that since catching this kid, his health has gotten worse and worse. First he couldn't speak, and then he couldn't speak. My arms are cold and stiff, completely disabled, and now I'm crazy again. It's really strange."

Seeing that the fake Zhao Quan was made like this by Xiao Lezi, Yang Ning couldn't help but be secretly surprised, but he was completely relieved and said: "Scumbags like Zhao Quan are dumb, blind, and crippled. "

"That's right, no matter what, this kid will die anyway when he returns to the capital. By then, I'm afraid he won't even have a piece of flesh left on his body," Zhang Weinian said with a sneer. He was referring to the famous torture method of the Ming Dynasty. , Lingchi.

After washing up and changing his clothes, Yang Ning felt relaxed all over. He ordered people to bring Guan Lei a sumptuous meal and told him to take a good rest after eating. Then he and Xiao Lezi went to Chang Dayong's Chinese Army. Chang Dayong had already set up a banquet for him in the big tent.

There was no one else at the table except Chang Dayong and several of his generals, as well as Zhang Weinian and other bodyguards.

Chang Dayong cupped his fists and reported to Yang Ning seriously: "I'm telling you, my father-in-law, this time Governor Wang and the Commander-in-Chief have sent a general with 3,000 elite cavalry to meet them. Please don't worry, father-in-law, for the rest of the journey."

"Haha, okay, General Chang, thank you for your hard work." Yang Ning also had a businesslike tone. After saying that, he immediately looked at the barbecue in front of him with bright eyes and said: "Well... Brother Chang, let's finish talking about the business. Is it time to start eating? Hey, my stomach is almost as hungry as his grandmother’s,”

Yang Ning's slightly humorous and vulgar words made the generals and guards burst into laughter. Chang Dayong couldn't help but laugh and shouted: "Fuck, let's eat, first fill up his grandma. Let’s talk about my belly,”

There was no wine at the table, because escorting Zhao Quan and others back to the Ming Dynasty was of great importance. Chang Dayong was afraid that drinking would cause trouble, so he ordered that drinking in the army be strictly prohibited.

After eating and drinking, all the guards and generals retired. Only Zhang Weinian and Chang Dayong stayed. The two reported to Yang Ning the situation in the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Chonggu and Ma Gui were overjoyed when they learned about the outcome of the peace talks between Yang Ning and An Da. They immediately sent a fast horse eight hundred miles to report to the court. At the same time, they ordered Chang Dayong to come to the grassland to respond.

The little prince Han Naji was very happy when he learned the news that his tribe was going to negotiate peace with the Ming Dynasty. Yang Ning couldn't help but sneered: He had known Han Naji would be like this a long time ago. This kid is simply simple-minded, stupid and impulsive. A hot-blooded young man, he probably also figured out that being a powerless foreign general in the Ming Dynasty was not as good as returning to his own tribe and being a high-ranking little prince. What's more, Xin Ai is now All the factions had been wiped out in the rebellion, and the identity of Hannaji Khan's successor was even more certain.

Sometimes Yang Ning is really surprised. They were both born to the same parents. Nuomin is so amazing and talented, so smart. How come he has such an untalented brother? Could it be that all of Hannaji's talents are taken away from him? They were all snatched away by Nuomin.

,,,.

Finally, he stayed for one night, and early the next morning, Yang Ning ordered to set off and return to the Ming Dynasty.

With the help of Dushan's men along the way, the Ming army moved very smoothly. Two days later, they arrived outside Xuanping Fort without any hindrance.

Wang Chonggu and Ma Gui had received the news early and led civil and military officials to line up outside the fort to greet him.

"Eunuch Yang, the results you achieved this time when you went north to the grassland are really gratifying. Not only did you replace Zhao Quan and other traitors, but you also reached an agreement on a 'tribute peace negotiation' with me. This is very important to our Ming Dynasty. The significance is really great, and my father-in-law’s achievements and feats will surely go down in history,” Wang Chonggu said to Yang Ning with emotion.

"Haha, Mr. Governor, please stop boasting, we are almost embarrassed," Yang Ning said with a smile, and then said: "Mr. Governor, ladies and gentlemen, we would like to solemnly introduce to you, this is me. The first minister in the Khan's account, Mr. Dushan, the Left Prime Minister, Anda Khan sent him this time just to go to the capital to discuss the details of the "tribute peace talks". Anda Khan sent Mr. Dushan here, which shows his sincerity in the peace talks. and determination,”

Wang Chonggu hurriedly greeted Dushan, saying nothing more than "hard work" and "long-time admiration" and other meaningless words. Yang Ning took the opportunity to catch up with Ma Gui.

The group entered Xuanping Fort without stopping, and then marched towards Datong City. It was already dusk when they entered Datong City, and Ma Gui ordered people to hand over "Zhao Quan" and others, and ordered them to be closely guarded.

In the evening, Wang Chonggu hosted a banquet in honor of Dushan and his party, and Han Naji was also invited.

Han Naji was wearing a bright red Ming Dynasty official robe and looked happy. However, after seeing Dushan, tears fell from his eyes as he spoke.

Yang Ning noticed that Ba Yue disappeared just now, and Han Naji was much whiter and fatter than the last time she saw him. It was obvious that he was well received in Datong.

During the banquet, in addition to greeting Hao Dushan and others, Yang Ning naturally became the protagonist. Everyone toasted to him to congratulate him on the great unexpected results of his trip to the grassland, and he was eventually drunk.

In the next few days, Yang Ning stayed in Datong. Wang Chonggu had already sent a fast horse to report to the capital. Now he was waiting for the imperial edict from the capital to announce Dushan and his party to the capital.

Yang Ning's original plan was to use this time to go to Ningxia to look for Liu Biyao, but he still gave up. Firstly, the time was too short, and secondly, as he was an imperial envoy, it was impossible to leave alone without authorization. In the end, he decided Send Xiaolezi to do this.

Yang Ning told Xiao Lezi about Liu Biyao's height, appearance and other information, and also told him to focus on searching for nunneries in Ningxia and Shanxi for one month. If he couldn't find any, he would return to the capital. It was already approaching the end of the year.

Now that we are talking about Liu Biyao, although Xiao Lezi didn't ask, Yang Ning still told Xiao Lezi the secret of her unpurified life and her relationship with Liu Biyao. With Xiao Lezi's cold and calm character, she couldn't help but feel shocked after hearing this.

"Lezi, back then..., I didn't tell you the secret of my not being cleansed, and I also gave you the Broken Jade Book to practice, which caused you to suffer so much, you won't blame me," Yang Ning said uneasily. .

"Brother Ning, how can I blame you? On the contrary, I have always been grateful to you. If you hadn't saved me several times, I would have starved to death. If you hadn't given me the "Broken Jade Book" "Lian, what's the point of living in this world? Brother Ning, from now on, I, Xiao Lezi, will live for you, and I will practice to protect you. I...," Xiao Lezi said so much in one breath. talk.

"Lezi, stop talking," Yang Ning interrupted Xiaolezi and said with some excitement: "Don't say anything like 'live for me' in the future, and don't say anything about me saving you. Remember, You and I are brothers, brothers for life. As brothers, we should naturally share blessings and share hardships. If you say anything else, it will be ignored."

"Yes, I remember, we are brothers," Xiao Lezi looked at Yang Ning seriously and said.

Xiao Lezi left Datong City alone. Within two days, Yang Ning also came to the capital with the imperial edict from Emperor Longqing, announcing that Yang Ning would accompany Dushan and his entourage to Beijing.
