Chapter 12 Border Plug Investigation

One morning four years later, the official residence of the Wang family in the capital.

Lan Er moved gently and sprinkled water on the courtyard. Wang An quickly moved the flower pot to the yard to bask in the sun, and then picked up the broom to clean up the fallen flowers on the road. Wang Hua put on a black gauze hat, put on the egret official uniform, tied the belt, and dressed neatly. He was about to rush to Hanlin Academy. When he saw Wang An, he remembered something and asked, "Wang An, how long has it been since there been no news from the young master?"

Wang An quickly put down the broom and replied respectfully, "Master, it's been a whole month!"

Wang Hua sighed and walked straight out.

Wang An looked at Lan'er and said, "Do you think the young master played a lot this time?" Speaking of this, he paused and said, "Oh, madam is a kind person, but she is not blessed to enjoy it. Madam's death has hit the young master too hard. The young master is like a different person! I hope he can't think about it!"

Lan Er came over, gently twisted her orchid finger, and bounced the water on Wang An's face. She saw that Wang An was shocked, so she giggled. Seeing that Wang An was still like a piece of wood, he said, "Our young master is a prince in the capital. He is talented, has both literature and martial arts, and can eat everywhere!" Besides, the young master ran away from home not once or twice! Let me tell you secretly that our young master has gone outside the Juyong Pass!"

"What!" Wang Anteng jumped up and said, "Outside the gate?! A few days ago, Dayan Khan, the little prince of Mongolian Tarots, also led troops into Gansu. The generals of the Ming army died in battle, and there could be a border war at any time. The young master didn't want to die there! You don't persuade either! Alas!"

"I'm optimistic about the young master. Our young master is a lucky man. Besides, our young master is talented in literature and martial arts. I have seen the young master pass through Yang in a hundred steps and shoot the bird's nest with a slingshot!" Lan'er's eyebrows fluttered. At this time, Lan'er has grown into a big girl. Every time she mentions Shouren, she always looks admiring her.

Do you understand the meaning of 'hundred steps through Yang'? This young master is really. Where can he tell you, but he doesn't tell me!" Wang Anxin felt very unbalanced. Lan'er grew up with the young master, and so did Wang An, and they talked about "national affairs" together since childhood. He often "planned", such as the "veil of the fox spirit" is actually a "fishnet"...

Lan Er listened and raised her head and said proudly, "Although I'm a woman, I know our young master better!" Speaking of this, she suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Since the death of my wife, the master immediately married a concubine, and she is still the same age as the young master. This will not be accepted by anyone for a while! Moreover, she just thinks she is the main room and makes things difficult for the young master every day!"

Wang An looked helpless, "That's right, the young master's personality can't stand any grievances! But since the last time the young master bought the witch and teased the new wife, hasn't the new wife changed a lot?

"Can this sincerity be the same as pretending? Hey, the young master is so pitiful. The old man and the old lady have also moved to Shaoxing. The old man is busy with official business, and no one cares about him! I really miss the days when we were in Yuyao. In a blink of an eye, things have changed..." Lan'er also sighed.

At this moment, the old slave who watched the door quarreled with a dirty beggar at the door, "Hey, beggar! This is the official's mansion! You can't go in!" That's called a beggot, just rushing in, laughing, but not talking. If someone has absolutely good eyesight, you can see that his black white clothes are actually a mix of Hanmen and Mongolia, covered with a tattered animal skin, his hair is loose, and a broken sword is inserted in his waist...

Wang An and Lan'er seemed to understand something. They quickly rushed to the door. When they looked closely, they shouted, "Young master!"

Wang An immediately greeted Wang Shouren and pulled Wang Shouren's palace. The old slave who watched the door rubbed his eyes in surprise and hated his old eyes. Wang An pulled the young master, couldn't wait to pull off the dirty clothes, throw him into the water tank, and then pulled out a bright young master in his mind. Wang An's worry is not superfluous. If Wang Hua sees this dress, he will be so angry that he can spit blood on the spot.

"Oh, my ancestor, what on earth did you do! How can it be like this! Have you suffered anything? Was he taken as a slave by the Mongols? Wang An pressed Wang Shouren in the barrel, rubbed it vigorously, changed the three basins of water, and did not see the background color. He took care of his mother-in-law, but at this time, Wang Shouren's eyes were sharp and his face was happy. After bathing and dressing up, Wang Shouren shouted, "Wang An, bring paper and pen. I'm going to write to the emperor!"

Wang An didn't know which god his master was. He wanted to ask, but Wang Shouren was so immersed in his own world that there was no one around him, so he had to do it. The pen, ink, paper and inkstone were ready, and Wang Shouren splashed ink on the table. While writing, he was very excited to explain to Wang An:

"Wang An, I went to the frontier this time and gained a lot!"

"Yes, young master! Just look at the dress you came back!"

"I will not only inspect the border fortress, but also go deep into the Mongolian people and deeply experience their lives."

“......”

"These days, I'm just riding and archery with young talents outside the customs, drinking horse milk wine, and roasting horse dung together. I also inquired about many local celebrities and searched a lot of military books." He said, he wanted to show Wang An his booty and looked for the clothes he hadn't seen back for a long time.

Wang An: "Young master, you said it's too late. It has been burned as garbage..."

"Well, it's okay. I'm familiar with it. Come to Wang An. Let me tell you, this is a major breakthrough in 'theoretical connection with practice'!" Speaking of this, Wang Shouren has written a piece of paper and asked, "Wang An, is the master at home?"

"The master just came back from outside and is in the study!"

"Okay, I'll be there right away!"

Wang An saw that Shouren came back this time as if he had beaten chicken blood. He was about to ask Lan'er if the young master was evil. Wang Shouren took three steps and two steps to his father's study. Wang Anxin thought: It's not a good thing!

"Dad, I'm back!"

“......”

"Dad, my child has really benefited a lot. It's better to study for ten years in a month!"

“......”

"Dad, I wrote down what I have seen and learned here, the topographic map of the customs, the distribution map of residents, how to defend the pass, if it resists the sudden invasion of the Mongols"

“......”

"Dad, I want to write to the emperor and ask the emperor for thousands of elite soldiers, and I will be able to flatten the Mongolian salams!"

In a short time, Wang Hua finally said the first sentence:

"Lan'er, go get the chicken feather duster!"
