Zhu Youjian and Zu Dale couldn't help but feel shocked. They didn't expect the Imperial Guard to appear at this time.

Tens of thousands of Mongolian Tartars did not expect that a vital force and powerful force would suddenly appear at this moment. After a few encounters, countless Tartars were shot to the ground.

The Mongolian Tartars had to evacuate from the left and right wings.

On this side, the Western Expedition Army, which had already rushed to Hami Acropolis, immediately turned around and rushed towards the Imperial Guards.

Zu Dale, Zhu Youjian and others did not understand why the Imperial Guard suddenly appeared here. They didn't have time to think about whether His Majesty chose to forgive them now.

They only knew that they would rush up, meet with the group of guards, and ask clearly that perhaps there was a possibility of survival.

The Mongolian Tartars were obviously no longer the Mongolian cavalry of the Southern Song Dynasty. They had been gradually declining and began to retreat naturally after encountering an army that was stronger than themselves.

On this side, Zhu Youjian, Zu Dale and others have already arrived in front of the Imperial Guard. Zu Dale no longer has any rift against the Imperial Guard because he is the Guanning Army. So he personally dismounted and bowed to a commander of the Imperial Guard and said, "The last general is Zu Dale, the general of the Western Expedition Army. How dare you ask the general's name of Gao?"

The commander of the Imperial Guard had no good feelings for Zu Dale, so he ignored him. Because Zhu Youjian had been with the Imperial Guard for some time and had also been at the commander level, he just saluted Zhu Youjian.

At this time, a gorgeous carriage appeared behind him, and dozens of infantry guards of the Imperial Guards. As soon as they were parked in front of Zhu Youjian and Zu Dale, the Imperial Guards infantry immediately formed a circle with the carriage as the center.

Zhu Youjian looked at the carriage and found that there was a battalion of imperial guard infantry behind it, and there were several trucks of grain, fresh water and other meat.

But at this moment, a man walked out of the carriage. The infantry of the Imperial Guards hurriedly raised their guns and shouted: "Salute!"

...

The one who walked off the carriage was the current assistant Li Mingrui.

However, Zhu Youjian and Li Mingrui have little intersection. Li Mingrui started to make a fortune in the seventh year of the Tianqi period, but Zhu Youjian was neglected by Zhu Youjian in the seventh year of the Tianqi period.

Therefore, Zhu Youjian did not know Li Mingrui.

It was even more impossible for Zu Dale to know Li Mingrui. As a local military aristocrat who had been outside the pass for many years, the biggest civil servant he had ever met was the Liaodong General Strategy. Therefore, when he saw this man wearing a robe and his chest was also Yunhe Buzi, he thought that this might be a general, or Sun Chengzong, a three-sided general in Shaanxi.

Zhu Youxiao identified from the number of jade belts on his waist and the number of beams on his crown, and then asked first: "Is this cabinet master?"

Li Mingrui gave a tribute to Zhu Youjian, stroked his beard, and smiled and said, "Your Highness King Xin has good eyesight, and the lower official is Li Mingrui, the Grand Secretary of Wenhua Palace."

"It turns out that it is Mr. Li. I don't know that Mr. Li travels thousands of miles to this northwest windy and sandy land. What's the matter? Could it be that the emperor's brother will let you supervise the military and supervise the battle?"

Although Zhu Youjian had never met Li Mingrui, he had heard of Li Mingrui and knew that this person was one of the most trusted officials around his royal brother. Now he suddenly appeared here, which really made him curious.

Zu Dale was also very surprised by the sudden arrival of Li Mingrui, the second assistant to the cabinet. Although he was not qualified to meet these close ministers of the emperor, he also heard about several cabinet masters in the court.

As far as he knows, the current chief minister Qian Ge Lao is a piece of cake. He has no appearance except His Majesty's leader, but he is ruthless and uses all means to achieve his personal goals. He not only cut off his descendants but also burned Donglin Academy. This Mr. Li is a famous smile-faced tiger. He looks kind on the surface and is thirsty for seeking talents, but in fact he is two-faced and three-faced. This person planned the case of Confucius in the Northern Sect.

The closest military man is Lu Xiangsheng, not just the generals of the Imperial Guard system, but also the military officers of the non-Imperial Guard system such as Zu Dale. They also believe that Lu Ge Lao is the real wise minister who can go on horseback and dismount the people.

Therefore, in Zu Dale's opinion, even if a cemetery master is coming, it should be Lu Ge Lao, not this cemetery. Everyone knows that Li Ge Lao does not participate in the army. This is a taboo in the court. Lu Ge Lao is a Grand Secretary of Wuying Hall and a Minister of War, and the founder of the Imperial Guard. It is understandable that he participates in the military affairs, but other cabinet ministers in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Rites or the Ministry of Personnel suddenly participate in the military affairs, and it is suspected of being usurped.

But the fact now is that Li Ge Lao Li Mingrui appears here.

Li Mingrui naturally knew that they would be confused, so he took the initiative to explain: "I came here according to Your Majesty's decree to ask His Highness King Xin just a few words, not to lead troops to assist His Highness King Xin and General Zu in the west. I wonder if His Highness King Xin can talk to his subordinates in the carriage?"

Zhu Youjian was a little surprised. He didn't know what the hell was selling Li Mingrui, nor did he understand what the purpose of his royal brother sent Li Mingrui.

But since he was not afraid of life and death, he had nothing to hesitate and nodded.

Li Mingrui waved his hand to Zhu Youjian himself: "Then please invite the king to get in the car."

Zhu Youjian walked into Li Mingrui's carriage.

Li Mingrui was a cabinet minister, with a high position and a high title. Even if he was riding a carriage, his specifications were much higher-end and generous than ordinary officials. Entering the inner room was like entering a boat, spacious and convenient for discussion.

The two sat opposite the Eight Immortals Table as the center, and after sitting down, Li Mingrui asked straight to the point: "Your Highness, I'm afraid that your Majesty already knows the intention of sending you to the Western Expedition?"

Zhu Youjian didn't expect that Li Mingrui asked this directly as soon as he came up. He didn't think about avoiding it anymore, so he nodded and said, "The emperor's brother can't tolerate me. I naturally understand that a real man's death is a kind of luck. Being able to wrap a body is considered a death of a real man. I would like to ask Mr. Li to convey it to my emperor for me. I am here to thank him for his gift!"

Li Mingrui was a little surprised when he heard Zhu Youjian's words. He didn't expect that His Highness King Xin would be so open-minded. However, he came this time to obey Zhu Youjian's orders, so he naturally did not dare to violate Zhu Youjian's orders. He asked with a smile: "His Highness King Xin is calm, but the official admires him very much, but the official dared to ask, "Does your Highness want the more than 3,000 soldiers of the Western Expedition Army outside the car to carry the body with you? They fought from Jiayuguan to Hami Guard and experienced countless fierce battles. If they survived, they would be able to establish the achievements of expanding territory for our Ming Dynasty! Now they can only be buried here with you. How can His Highness King Xin bear it?"

"It's not that I'm willing to let these good men die with me, but you never thought of letting them go! Like me, they are people that His Majesty the Emperor cannot tolerate, aren't they?"

At this time, Zhu Youjian suddenly broke out and shouted at Li Mingrui.

Li Mingrui smiled faintly: "No, Your Majesty did not want all the soldiers of the Western Expedition Army to die, and even Zu Dale, Your Majesty did not think of letting him die. Your Majesty only wants your life!"
