In the soft spring light, even the sunset is lazy, and the whole world is shrouded in the bright red glow.

A big man walked towards the meteor with a ray of light. He was burly and looked like a god.

Ping Bo saw it from afar and asked loudly: "Dalang, why did you come back so early today?"

When the man heard the sound, he turned his head and replied loudly: "If you have something to do, come and ask Ping Bo for advice!"

Seeing that the man was talking seriously, it didn't seem like he was asking about trivial matters, Ping Bo stood up and said to the surrounding child: "I'll be here today. I have something to do, you guys can go and play by yourself."

After saying that, he opened his hands and bombarded a group of reluctant children away.

Facing the big man, Ping Bo said, "Da Lang has something to do at home."

"No need, there is still something to do." The man's face was heavy, and his eyes looked at Ping Bo with a little eagerness.

Ping Bo didn't know what he was asking, so he didn't dare to neglect it, and said to the man: "Da Lang sat under the tree and spoke."

When he arrived under the tree, the man did not sit down, but just asked, "Ping Bo, I'm here to ask, what was the situation when you sent Shiqilang back to Yongzhou last time?"

Ping Bo had just sat down, and after hearing this, he raised his head and asked strangely: "Why did you suddenly ask this again? I have said it to Dalang several times before."

The man looked up at the sunset in the sky, and after a while, he spoke: "There is news coming from the north that the Jiaozhi army in Liangzhou was defeated, and tens of thousands of people were all left there. Only one military supervisor led hundreds of people to survive, pass by us tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and take the way back to Shenglong Mansion."

When Ping Bo heard the news, he stood up again: "Dalang wants to-"

The big man nodded: "Yes, the people in the clan can't wait. Last time Shiqilang went back, someone looked forward to it. Since Ping Bo came back safely, everyone made up their minds. This time someone came to the door again, and just happened to make a letter of fame. We - we are going to return to Song!"

Ping Bo was stunned for a moment. After a while, he said tremblingly: "This is a huge matter. It involves thousands of families here. Has Dalang thought it through?"

"Since you are back, everyone has been discussing for a few months, so what else is there to be unclear? But when things come, I will inevitably feel like it, so I want to come over and listen to you again."

On the way from Liangzhou to Shenglong Mansion, Li Mingxin looked at the sunset in the sky and breathed a sigh of relief: "The Fuliang River is dozens of miles ahead. I will drive the road for another day tomorrow. After crossing the river, it will be the territory of Shenglong Mansion. The Song army in the back had wings and could not catch up with us. Let's go on camp here and build food tomorrow morning. Let's go early and you must cross the Fuliang River."

The generals around him agreed and arranged to find a place to camp and sent soldiers to collect grain from nearby villages.

Li Mingxin got off the horse, went to the side of the road to find a big rock and sat down, drank water and took a breath.

A soldier came to him and whispered: "Master, I'm afraid it's not safe to set up camp here."

Li Mingxin looked up and down at the soldier and said dissatisfiedly: "This is my Jiaozhi territory, what's wrong with it? Although there are many local soldiers in Jiangbei these days, the government is still there. Could it be that someone will take the opportunity to be a robber? Is it good to be the commanding troops?"

The soldier said: "The young ones are from Jiangbei and know some local geography. There are many Han people living in this area who came from the north from the first dynasty. They live together and are brave and fierce. The government usually wants to give them some points. Not far from here, there are people from the Chen family. It is said that their ancestors came from Fujian Road in the Central Plains during the Tang Dynasty and have reproduced for hundreds of years. Now there are two or three thousand young and strong people in the tribe. The surrounding natives are suppressed by them and cannot raise their heads."

Li Mingxin looked at the soldiers with disdain, saying disdainfully: "You mean, these guests dare to make a decision?"

Seeing that Li Mingxin's expression was not good, the soldier knew that he had flattered the horse's hooves, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "Everyone is shocked, it's better to be careful."

"Rareless! This is under my Jiaozhi rule. Could it be that thousands of Han people dare to make the world come? I have been stationed in my Jiaozhi army for dozens of miles away. If they dare to make any noise, I will recruit a large army to kill their entire clan!"

When the soldier saw Li Mingxin's appearance, he did not dare to speak anymore and silently retreated aside.

Li Mingxin escaped from the front line of Liangzhou. He was frightened and hungry and thirsty. He was almost returning to the capital. He just felt relieved. At this time, he said this news did not make him feel bad.

The commander led his troops to camp and asked Li Mingxin to rest in the tent.

Li Mingxin got up and asked casually: "Is supper ready?"

The commander of the army said: "The soldiers found a cow from the nearby village and were slaughtering them. They chose the meat and sent it to the tent of the high-ranking official. I also found a few bottles of wine and sent it together."

Li Mingxin nodded and then walked towards the handsome tent with satisfaction.

The curtain of the handsome tent was lifted up, and the warm wind blew in from outside, carrying the fresh smell of plants and trees. The early spring in Jiaozhi was neither lukewarm nor hot, and the air was filled with a natural feeling of rebirth, which made people feel refreshed.

Li Mingxin had enough food and drink, sat in the tent and burped, stretched his waist comfortably.

Just as he was about to rest, the sound of rapid footsteps came from outside, and the commander-in-chief whispered outside the tent: "Master, I wonder if you have already rested?"

Li Mingxin was in a good mood at this time and turned around and said, "No, can you report anything?"

"That's right, the officials have urgent matters!"

"Come in."

The commander entered the commander's tent, gave up his salute to Li Mingxin, and pointed to a person beside him and said, "This is a person from a nearby village. When my subordinates entered the village to collect grain, he followed him and said there was something important."

Li Mingxin looked at the person in front of him. He was short and thin, with his eyes small and bright, and his eyes were rolling around and looking around.

Li Mingxin didn't like this person and said with a deep face: "What's the important thing about you? You want to go to the military camp at night?"

The man looked at the commander army next to him and said carefully: "The young Chen Afu is from Hetou Village. He has important military information to report to Shangguan. However, the matter is of great importance, so he can only report to Shangguan alone."

When Li Mingxin heard this, his face became more and more ugly: "What big deal can you know about such a wilderness? If you have something to say, or you will drag it out for a military stick!"

Chen Afu was not in a hurry, but just accompanied him to carefully, "The things that the young man came to report are related to Shangguan's safety and are of great importance, but they cannot get into the ears of a third person."

The thing Li Mingxin cared about most in his life was his life. Seeing that Chen Afu was not afraid, he believed him a little bit. When he saw that it was related to his life, he would listen whether he believed it or not.

Let the commander wait outside the tent, Li Mingxin said to Chen Afu: "What do you have to say now? The ugly words are ahead. If nothing big happens, military sticks will inevitably be avoided."

"How dare the young man go around and cheat Shangguan? There is really a big deal tonight!"

"What are you talking about? Tell me quickly!"

"The young man was originally from Shenglong Mansion. When he was a child, his family suffered heavy floods and fled here. He was adopted by a family named Chen and grew up. He was also considered a member of the Chen family. The Chen family originally came from Zhongyuan to Jiaozhi and wanted to return to the Central Plains. I got the news that Chen family leader Chen Gongyong had made up his mind to bring his clan members back to the Song Dynasty. Tonight, he would bring people to rob Shangguan's military camp and make a letter of surrender."
