Unlike Xu Huizu who led the army to appear outside Pinglefu City, Yunnan Cheng announced that the high-level officials of the Political Envoy Department did not know that Zhu Wei would return to his homeland. When the army arrived two or three miles away from Lin'an Mansion, the officials of Lin'an Mansion would be considered to have received it. information.

The officials of Lin'an Mansion ordered soldiers to pass the news to Yunnan Mansion, and at the same time organized civil and military officials of the mansion to greet them outside the city.

When Zhu Wei and his two brothers arrived outside Lin'an Mansion, the magistrate, magistrate, Tongzhi, and Tong Juan were already waiting outside the city, and the others were county magistrates from the counties under the Lin'an mansion.

"My subordinate Han Qiusheng has seen His Royal Highness King Min." Seeing Zhu Wei and Zhu Song coming on horseback, the four chief officials of Lin'an Mansion hurried forward to salute.

"Qiusheng, your speed is quite fast." Generally speaking, Zhu Wei is still a virtuous king, at least he knows all the officials above the fifth rank in Yunnan, and Han Qiusheng is naturally very familiar with him.

"My lord was joking, you returned to Yunnan, why didn't you inform my subordinates that I will prepare a banquet and clean up the dust for you?" Han Qiusheng shook his head with a smile, stepped forward and said: "In such a hurry, my subordinates There is no time to prepare a banquet for you."

"Is it possible that this king has to report to you when he returns to his fiefdom? Besides, the long history of this king has already returned to Yunnan Mansion. Could it be that you are all blind?"

For Han Qiusheng with a hippie smile, Zhu Wei didn't buy it at all. Did he know what kind of stuff this thing is? If the master of plucking the goose is over, even if he is ready to welcome the wind, how many good things can he have?

Han Qiusheng was not frustrated because of Zhu Wei's scolding, but said: "My lord, we have recently collected some wild products, wild pheasant, wild roe deer... The official has already ordered the people to stew it. This is a good move." ?”

"There are wild roe deer?" Hearing Han Qiusheng's words, Zhu Wei's eyes turned green, but considering the majesty of his prince, he deliberately turned his face hard and said, "What, what roe deer... yes, yes, this one It's King Han."

This guy will really find a way for himself, and it is only now that he thinks of Zhu Song.

Zhu Song rolled his eyes and said, "Come on, you didn't think of me until now?"

"Han, King Han?" Han Qiusheng and the others didn't expect that nobleman to come, so they hurriedly saluted: "I have met His Highness King Han, but I have not seen His Royal Highness before, so I lost the courtesy, please... "

"Get up, I'm not so narrow-minded." Zhu Song waved his hand, motioning everyone to excuse him, "What's the matter, can't we chat here all the time? Can't we go into the city?"

"It's the lower officials who neglected it." Han Qiusheng realized that he quickly led Zhu Song and the others to the city.

……

Leaving the [-]-strong army outside the city to camp and rest, Zhu Song, Zhu Wei, Han Qingshan and other middle and high-ranking troops went straight into the magistrate's yamen.

Not to mention, the cooks in the magistrate's yamen are neat and quick. From the time Han Qiusheng ordered the stewed pheasant and roe deer to the time Zhu Song and the others entered the yamen, it was only a quarter of an hour, and the courtyard was already full of fragrance.

Everyone waited in the mansion for half an hour, stewed pheasant, grilled roe deer, and several exquisite hot dishes and cold dishes were served, and the brothers Zhu Wei and four officials from Lin'an Mansion sat at the same table.

"My lords, the roe deer and pheasant are unique species in Yunnan, try them!"

Han Qiusheng also seemed to be a foodie, so he cut the meat and served the soup for the two of them himself, "Don't look at the short time of stewing and roasting, but it's actually already full of flavor, which is just enough to relieve the two princes from fatigue."

"Oh? Then I have to taste it." Zhu Song's eyes lit up, and he said, "I'm telling you, when I was in cochin, there were all kinds of mountain delicacies and wild game every day, so don't brag about it." gone."

While talking, Zhu Song directly grabbed a piece of roe deer meat and gnawed it.

After chewing for a while, Zhu Song said: "This roe deer meat should be stewed with some kind of spices, right? Otherwise, it wouldn't be so tasty, not bad, not bad..."

"Hahaha, Qiusheng, this prince's younger brother has really bad taste. It's not easy to say it's good from him, so just have fun, kid!"

Hearing Zhu Song's words, Zhu Wei laughed loudly: "How about it, Brother Song, did I lie to you?"

"It's not bad." Zhu Song nodded and said, "By the way, Mr. Han, I forgot to ask you just now, how long will it take if we go straight from Lin'an to Annan?"

"My lord, you can just call Xiaguan Qiusheng directly." Han Qiusheng lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "My lord, if you rush on without stopping, it will take about an hour and a half."

"Oh, it's not far." Zhu Song chewed the meat, and frowned slightly, "This is near Yunnan, is there any change in Annan?"

Li Konghao, the acquaintance of Lin'an, was stunned for a moment after hearing Zhu Song's words, and then said: "My lord, because Annan suddenly attacked Guangxi on a large scale a few days ago, Yunnan, which borders Annan, naturally sent more troops to guard against Annan's army. Invasion!"

When talking about this, Li Konghao paused, and continued: "According to the news from our people, Annan seems to be gathering an army again, but this time their goal should still be Guangxi."

"This damned Hu Hancang is really tired of living!" Zhu Song gnawed a chicken leg fiercely, and said: "It seems that this king has to speed up, and we can't delay in Lin'an any longer."

"My lord, are you planning to lead troops from our Yunnan border to fight in Annan?"

As the chief executive of Lin'an Mansion, Han Qiusheng is not a brainless person. From what Zhu Song said, he could hear some signs.

"Hmm! From the border of Yunnan, can we go to the hinterland of Annan?" Zhu Song asked immediately.

"If you go back to the prince, you will see a large mountain forest after we go out of Lin'an and walk for an hour and a half. Only after passing through that forest can you enter Annan. There is Annan's topographical map in your mansion, and your servant has someone bring it to you?"

Han Qiusheng is not only familiar with his own 'site', but also the whole Yunnan.

"Well, not for a while, how about this, after lunch, you send the topographic map to the temporary camp outside the city. The king will stop outside the city for a while, and set off after the army has finished resting."

Zhu Song took a sip of the chicken soup and said, "The news that the king led his troops to come to An is only in your Lin An, so there is no need to spread it outside."

"Ah?" Han Qiusheng groaned, and said, "But my lord, the lower officials have already sent someone to notify the chief political envoy. I must have gone halfway by now."

"Isn't that simple? Send someone to tell Sun Dong that there is no need to inform anyone else except himself." Zhu Wei said indifferently, "This king will spread the news, saying that all the ten thousand troops are here. They are craftsmen, the craftsmen who came to rebuild the palace for this king, do you understand?"

"I understand." Several top officials of Lin'an Prefecture looked at each other and nodded in unison.

……

The [-]-strong army broke out from Lin'an City and headed straight for the mountains and forests marked on the topographic map.

This mountain forest is not an unknown mountain, it is called Laoyin Mountain, which is Zhu Song's previous life, Gejiu Laoyin Mountain, which belongs to Mengzi County under the jurisdiction of Lin'an Prefecture.

In other words, until the foot of Laoyin Mountain, it is still within the boundary of Daming.

"Your Highness, if you go further into Laoyin Mountain, you won't be able to ride a horse." Looking at the big mountain in front of him, Liu Fu, the personal guard of Zhu Wei who was leading the way for Zhu Song, said, "Besides, even if the army enters Annan, they can't often ride horses, because there are many mountains in Annan. So people mostly travel on foot, and horses are not easy to move.”

"How long will it take to cross Laoyin Mountain?" Zhu Song frowned, "Although the soldiers in our army are strong in physical skills, and many of them are warriors who have become Ming Jin, most of them are not good at physical skills. , if you go through the mountain, I'm afraid it will be a little troublesome."

Liu Fu said with a smile: "Your Highness, my prince once said that there is no road in the world. If there are many people walking, it will become a road. Although you can't ride horses in Laoyin Mountain, there are still roads. There should be no problem with the skills of the middle brothers."

Zhu Song is a black line on his forehead: Damn, Zhu Wei is the one who knows how to use emotions best. When did Mr. Lu Xun's words become his Zhu Wei's?

"Do you know the way?" Zhu Song was angry, "Don't tell me you don't know the way."

"I know, I know." Liu Fu nodded again and again, "I have walked the road of Laoyin Mountain several times before when I was hunting with my lord, and I am very familiar with it. Your Highness, should we enter the mountain now, or send brothers first To explore the way?"

Zhu Song stroked his chin and thought for a while, then said: "Just to be careful, let's send someone to scout the way first!"

"Okay, Your Highness, I'll make the arrangement." Because the only ones who are familiar with this road are the guards of King Min's Mansion. As the saying goes, those who can do more work, the only ones who can explore the road are those brothers of Liu Fu. up.

Soon, a small team of ten people separated from the main army and rushed towards the forest vigorously.

The army took a temporary rest outside Laoyin Mountain, waiting for the ten-man team to return.

After nearly four hours, it was already dark, and the ten-man team that explored the way finally came back.

"How is it?" Zhu Song looked at a guard of Prince Min's Mansion leading the team, and asked, "Is there anything unusual?"

The leader of the team was a skinny young man in his thirties. He said with a serious face, "My lord, there is a situation. Your previous plan may have to change."

Zhu Song's eyes narrowed subconsciously, and said, "What's going on?"
