Chapter 666: Saying Goodbye to Uncle and Nephew
"Sister takes my character too lightly," Lin Meier raised her eyes and pushed the jewelry box back. "I said, I just couldn't bear to be kept in the dark, not for this little thing."
"My sister is so noble, why don't she help her sister for something?" Zhou Mengnan said with an emotional look: "I don't have the ability of my sister, and I don't know how to express my gratitude in my heart... My sister is so beautiful, she must be more beautiful when dressed up. These things are just a little bit of my sister's wishes. Even if you don't tell me about my husband's news, I will give it to my sister."
"I appreciate my sister's feelings," Lin Meier stood up, "I'll say goodbye now!"
"Sister, wait..." Zhou Mengnan said quickly.
"Sister has something to do?"
"I don't know whether I should say it or not?"
"Sister, but it's okay."
"Since my husband came back from Mobei last time, he has become much more depressed," Zhou Mengnan said: "I didn't tell me in detail when asked. Later, I heard that the emperor appointed him to the Ministry of Rites to serve as an ambassador..." He sighed, "Although I am not in the officialdom, I also know that such a small official who is not as good as the Ministry of Personnel only needs the next official letter, and the emperor does not need to come forward in person."
"The emperor has his intention to do this," Lin Meier said: "Sister, don't think too much."
"My sister and her husband have been born and died from Mobei," Zhou Mengnan said: "What he thinks in his heart must have known that he is a person with ideals and ambitions. The emperor will inevitably feel disappointed when he treats him like this. If he is valued in Annan, he will no longer think about returning to the Ming Dynasty." He stared at her deeply and said: "Can sister promise me to go to Annan?"
"Does my sister have something to say to him?" Lin Meier asked.
"It's not only that," Zhou Mengnan held her hand. "My sister was fighting with her husband all the way. He was able to return to the capital safely from Mobei to the capital, and his sister was indispensable. He was alone in Annan, and there was no capable person around me. I was really worried." After a pause, he continued, "My sister is very capable. Can you promise to take good care of him there?"
Lin Meier's pretty face turned red, she retracted her hand, and said shyly: "Sister's words are so strange. I'm not someone from him, so how can I travel thousands of miles to a foreign country to take care of him?"
Zhou Mengnan smiled, "I have never regarded you as an outsider, so please don't be nice to me. My husband can get your help, it is his blessing..." He sighed softly, "My husband's sister is ill now and cannot leave anyone to take care of her for a moment. When she gets well, I will send her back to her hometown in Huzhou. My parents-in-law are old and can't be served by no one around. After all, I am the daughter-in-law of the Yang family, so I have to accompany them for a while. I really can't take care of my husband's place, and I hope my sister won't refuse."
"This... let me think about it carefully." Lin Meier bit her lip, and her heart was beating around.
"Okay, I won't force you," Zhou Mengnan smiled and said, "It's too late. If my sister doesn't dislike it, how about we lie on the same bed?"
"Isn't this suitable?" Lin Meier said stutteringly. This cool and heroic hero rarely reveals the shyness of her little daughter.
"What's wrong with this?" Zhou Mengnan's eyes circulated, "I'm not too happy if you're by my side with me!"

At the Tokyo Pier of Annan, dozens of large ships are ready to set sail.
On the largest ship, there are swords and guns, guarding
Sen Yan, Ruan Chi and Uncle Ruan Sheng and Uncle Ruan Sheng were standing at the bow of the boat and were talking.
"You must firmly hold the military power in your own hands when you go south to Vijay this time," Ruan Chi warned: "Ruan Shi even is the trusted internal official around the king, so don't break your relationship with him."
"Yes, my nephew knows." Ruan Sheng responded, then punched the mast at the bow of the ship. "It was all the old killer named Zheng. If he hadn't slandered the king, how could the king have dropped me from Tokyo?"
"A Sheng, you can't hold back again," Ruan Chi's eyes showed a hint of blame, "What's the use of venting these things now? It's just a little bit of resentment."
"I don't understand," Ruan Sheng said: "Didn't the king distrust that old man named Zheng? Why did he obey his words again?"
"The king's heart is unpredictable!" Ruan Chi sighed, "I heard from Ding Lie that the king's surname Zheng told the king that the person who abducted the Fourth Prince might be the Queen's envoy... Think about it, just a few days after the third prince and the Fourth Prince clashed, something happened to the Fourth Prince, and it is inevitable that the King would think to the Queen."
"Will this really affect Sister Aying's position in the king's heart?" Ruan Sheng said worriedly.
"It's not yet," Ruan Chi sneered, "This is just speculation after all, and there is no real evidence. However, the king has already warned me of my Ruan family. You arrested Yang Muyun indiscriminately and threw him into the prison of the Beijing Fushishi, making the king think that my Ruan family is eager to find a scapegoat..."
"But Yang Muyun was indeed holding the Fourth Prince at that time, and the Fourth Prince was unconscious again..."
"You said," Ruan Chi glared at him, "Don't forget that someone testified to him that he saved the Fourth Prince, one of the witnesses was Ding Lie's son Ding Yu."
"He...how could he..." Ruan Sheng widened his eyes in surprise.
"How could he say he testify to Yang Muyun, right?" Ruan Chi snorted coldly, "Because he fell in love with Zheng Ke's daughter Zheng Yu, in order to please her, he would naturally testify for Yang Muyun. Moreover, the constable of Shenglong Mansion also confirmed that the few of them were together at that time. What do you think about this? "
"Li Jian is really a means," Ruan Sheng said gritting his teeth: "You are very respectful to your uncle on weekdays, but I don't know that at this critical moment, I will not give us the Ruan family any face."
"He is loyal to the king, not our Ruan family," Ruan Chi said lightly: "As long as the third prince has not yet taken the throne, some people in the court will never really turn to our Ruan family."
"Since the king knows that Yang Muyun is wronged," Ruan Sheng said in confusion: "But why didn't he release him from the Jingfusi Prison?"
"The king just doesn't want to embarrass you," Ruan Chi glanced at her nephew, "You caught the person. Isn't it slap you in the face when you release it in front of you? Now you are about to take a boat south. Look, as soon as you leave, Yang Muyun will be released behind you."
Ruan Sheng was stunned.
"Don't think too much," Ruan Chi said: "The king has many places that require my Ruan family. If you go south this time, you must deal with those who occupy people carefully. Don't lose the national prestige of my Great Yue."
Ruan Sheng sighed and shook his head, "I heard that Mahagui came to support tens of thousands of people, and he has restored most of the Champa City. Ruan Shi and 20,000 remaining soldiers were trapped in Vijay. The king gave me five thousand people. What can I do?"
"Now that hundreds of thousands of Ming army are heading south, the troops are coming in a row, and the movements are unknown. Our entire army of Dayue is ready for battle," Ruan Chi patted his nephew's shoulder and said, "It is rare that the king can squeeze out 5,000 people for you.
They are all elite soldiers and powerful generals. Your old subordinate Zhong Zhenguo has also given you, and the commander of the Divine Wing Guard Cai Hongyi... They are all elites from the 12 guards of Tokyo! The king is still upright towards you. After you meet with Ruan Shilian, don’t rush to fight with Mahagui. Just defend Vijaya will be victorious. Vijaya was once the capital of Champa. The city was high and the walls were thick. No matter how many people came to Mahagui, they were just a group of mobs. As long as you plan it properly, they would not attack."
"I want to be able to give me 50,000 people," Ruan Sheng narrowed his eyes and said, "I will wipe out all the thieves from Mahagui and put Champa again under my Dayue."
"You will have this opportunity," Ruan Chi raised his eyebrows and encouraged him, "But now you have to endure it first. Once the threat from the north is eliminated, I will ask the king to send an army south to cooperate with you inside and outside. Then the first contribution to pacifying Champa will be yours." He smiled, "If the Ming army really attacks in large numbers, Tokyo City will be the first to be the one. It may be a blessing for you to stay away from the whirlpool of right and wrong."

After Yang Muyun was released from prison, he found that the twelve guards in Tokyo had undergone great changes. It turned out that half of the elite troops of the Shenwu, Shenchang, Shence, and Shenyi guards, who were originally responsible for the Guardian City, had been allocated to Deputy Governor Ruan Sheng to follow him south. The remaining troops of the four guards were transferred outside the city to rectify, and the four guards of Tianwei, Xingguo, Zhaowu and Poche were transferred to the city to serve as Guardian City defense.
His Shenwu Guards were the most transferred, and two thousand people, including Zhong Zhenguo, boarded the warships south, leaving him with only one thousand. But Yang Muyun was very pleased. After all, without Zhong Zhenguo's constraints, it was much easier to command this army. Since he showed his skills at the school that day, the officers and soldiers of the Shenwu Guards have underestimated him, and on the surface they all respectfully treated him.
Unlike the Ming military system, Annan's guards were below the office, one and twenty teams, each with twenty-five people, and one with a total of five hundred people. The highest commander of the office was the general system, and the head of the team was the commander. Annan guards generally governed two to four units of troops, and each of the twelve guards in Tokyo controlled six units. Zhong Zhenguo took away the four Shenwu guards and left only two units with a total of one thousand people for Yang Muyun, which was not as powerful as before.
Yang Muyun only brought troops when the vanguard of the government army went to the north of the frontier. It was just a general flag with fifty people under his command. Later, he joined Yu Qian and Luo Hengxin's Xuan army. Yu Qian once handed him over a thousand people. He led the thousand elite cavalry like the wind and made many military achievements, providing good cover for the main force of Xuanda to retreat into the Great Wall. Therefore, when he faced the thousands of soldiers of the Shenwu Guard in Annan, he was not afraid at all.
On the first day of taking office, he ordered two general systems to lead their officers and soldiers to line up in an order and inspect the officers and soldiers themselves.
Looking at the neat military lineup, he nodded secretly. Annan's army was mainly infantry, and only the commander and above were equipped with mounts. Their power was naturally far inferior to that of the Ming army Xuanda troops, which were mainly cavalry. However, their spirit was not inferior to that of the Ming army.
Two generals had a surname Huang and the other was Ke. They practiced soldiers in front of Yang Muyun, but they were in a good way.
Yang Muyun was easy-going and did not act arrogantly. She sat with the soldiers while eating, so she quickly got into a group of soldiers with the lower class.
Every morning, he was the first to stand under the Heihu Banner of the Shenwu Guard. He did not ride a horse during training, and hiked and ran with the soldiers. In a few days, everyone looked at him differently. He felt that the new commander was approachable and willing to serve him.
"This Yang Muyun is not an ordinary person," Ding Lie said from a distance: "He is well aware of the method of using troops. I am afraid that he will not be able to control his subordinates well. It seems that I am too careful."
