After returning to Yunnan, Mu Tianbo broke into the Jin Palace and asked Li Dingguo to send reinforcements to rescue the emperor.

According to Mu Tianbo's observation, the situation in Yunnan is now good. He still remembers that when Sun Kewang was in charge of Yunnan, the people in Yunnan were all pale and thin, and their eyes were full of fear and suspicion. If they were stared by a big man like Mu Tianbo for a while, they would lower their heads in fear and walk away in a hurry.

At that time, Mu Tianbo was very sad when he saw that Yunnan, where his ancestors lived for generations, had become like this. However, Mu Tianbo knew that Yunnan needed to bear heavy war expenses, and in order to defend the Ming Emperor, to block the Qing army's invasion and counterattack the Central Plains, these seemed to be the price that he had to pay. It was precisely because of this that he had to give up Yunnan, Mu Tianbo's chest was heartbroken. He had secretly vowed more than once during the war that he would beg the emperor to compensate the people of Yunnan after the war. But this vow could not be fulfilled, and the sufferings suffered by the people of Yunnan over the years seemed to have become meaningless.

However, on the way back to Kunming this time, Mu Tianbo saw the pedestrians all looked rosy and looked good, and their clothes were no longer torn. New Year was not yet, but many people had already put on new clothes. After entering Kunming City, when Mu Tianbo asked how to go to the King of Jin's Mansion, the people who were asked would enthusiastically guide him. Finally, there was a kind Kunming man who brought Mu Tianbo to the door of the King of Jin's Mansion.

The guard standing at the gate had a calm expression, and did not show hostility and vigilance towards Mu Tianbo or the leader. It was not until this time that Mu Tianbo hesitated to report his real name and took out the seal of Duke Qian from his arms. The reason why Mu Tianbo refused to say it along the way was because he knew that the soldiers had a very bad temper and might be in a mess. Originally, Mu Tianbo had prepared an imperial edict, intending to make up as an envoy, and recognize him after seeing Li Dingguo, but when he saw the guard officer of the royal palace with a gentle smile on his face, Mu Tianbo gave up his initial plan.

The officer was shocked. As an Yunnan native, after seeing the Duke of Qian who has been loved for generations, the officer did not dare to neglect Mu Tianbo for a long time, so he personally accompanied him to meet Li Dingguo. Anyway, Li Dingguo would definitely know the authentic Duke of Qian. As long as people were not allowed to approach the King of Jin, there would be no chance to assassinate him.

After Mu Tianbo followed the officer into the hall, he saw a scene that he would never think of no matter what. At that moment, the armor was on his body, his eyebrows were frowning, and he never smiled. Even if he heard good news, he could not hide his worries, and he was now wearing loose silk clothes, his thick eyebrows were stretched openly, looking happy and peaceful. Mu Tianbo still remembered that King Jin had a very thin cheek because of his laborious work, but now he looked much more round. What shocked Mu Tianbo the most was that he recognized Li Dingguo at first sight and was carefully watering a pot of flowers.

Mu Tianbo was stunned in surprise, not knowing what to say. The officer who brought him in had already reported to Li Dingguo. Another person standing next to Li Dingguo suddenly turned around and shouted more quickly than Li Dingguo: "Duke of Qian!"

Seeing that the person coming was indeed Duke of Qian, the officer on duty calmed down and bowed respectfully to Mu Tianbo, hurriedly left the hall and returned to his post.

Mu Tianbo stared at the first person who recognized him for a few glances, and also recognized the other party. This person was not Li Dingguo's right-hand man. Who is Bai Wenxuan, a brave and fighting cavalry general in the Western Camp? In fact, Bai Wenxuan's eyebrows did not change much, but his expression was also completely different from before, and the changes were even bigger than Li Dingguo. Mu Tianbo remembered it very clearly that King Gong Chang's eyebrows were always standing upside down, and his bright big eyes always shot out the eagle-like gaze, which made people feel scared at first glance.

But today Bai Wenxuan was wearing a loose robe like Li Dingguo, and his eyes were much softer. The eyebrows of Gong Chang made Mu Tianbo think of the kind of clock that has become popular in recent years - Bai Wenxuan's eyebrows looked like two pointers at 8:20 on the clock.

"Oh, it's really Duke of Qian." Another person shouted. Almost when Li Dingguo turned around, he got up from the chair and ran towards Mu Tianbo. This person had already shown some wealth. In Mu Tianbo's opinion, Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan's expressions seemed too relaxed, but their bodies were still well-proportioned and strong, and it was hard to hide the figure of the martial artist in their robes. The third person not only had a round face, but also could see the bulge of his belly.

After looking closely, Mu Tianbo found that this was also an old acquaintance - a hero of Xiying who was as famous as Bai Wenxuan. Li Dingguo followed him when he was two famous kings. He was considered the second person under King Sun Kewang of Qin, and Feng Shuangli, the King of Qingyang who had been in charge of Guizhou for many years.

After Feng Shuangli retired, he was a little bored to stay alone in Jianchang. All he could do was recall the past every day. Moreover, after he had no military power, he no longer had to worry about Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan coming to attack him all day long. As soon as he left his guard against these two people, Feng Shuangli remembered them again, only his past comrades remained. A few years ago, Feng Shuangli came to Kunming to visit King Jin and King Gongchang. He originally wanted to stay for a few days before leaving, but the return date was delayed again and finally stopped leaving. He also moved Jianchang's family to Kunming.

Although Li Dingguo's ambition is still there, according to Feng Shuangli's observation, these few years may be the happiest years for Li Dingguo. With Myanmar's compensation and import tariffs on jewelry business, Yunnan's income is far more than several times that of Sun Kewang's period. King Jin can finally reduce taxes on the Yunnan people on a large scale and make some compensation for the harassment of soldiers and bandits over the past years. Seeing that the people were able to wear new clothes and eat meat continue to increase, the King Jin seemed to have a bump in his heart quietly untied it.

Although the King of Jin was also organizing the Northern Expedition and actively winning over Wu Sangui, many young people from Xiying went to join the Imperial Army. In the past, Li Dingguo tried his best to take care of these children. One of the reasons why he valued Emperor Yongli was that he hoped to fight for his life and get the court to look at the old subordinates of Xiying. Now the Xiying children who went to the Imperial Army were taken care of by Deng Ming, and Zhao Tianba also became Deng Ming's chief general - Deng Ming announced that if he had any accidents

Zhao Tianba temporarily guarded the imperial army until the backyard would select the most suitable successor; other Xiying children were also good, for example, in the sixth year of Kangxi, Di Sanxi followed Deng Ming to Beijing to make contributions and was awarded the title of imperial colonel. After the division, this guy also found an opportunity to come to Kunming to show Feng Shuangli his shiny epaulettes and medals. Those who received promotions and medals with him were not only from the Xiying Qin system, but also from the Shu system, but also from the Jin system to Sichuan. I heard that these people were also very harmonious in the imperial army.

Li Dingguo entered Zhang Xianzhong's boy camp at the age of ten. By the age of eighteen, he had already led his troops to fight, and the more difficult battles were followed by the more difficult battles in the south and north. Although he later became a prince, his life was still uncomfortable. He not only fought with the Qing soldiers, but also had to intrigue with his righteous brother Sun Kewang. He needed to worry about the emperor's perception of himself, and he also needed to appease his subordinates, consider their future and future, raise food and grass, produce weapons, and recruit soldiers... Since he was a teenager, Li Dingguo often stayed at night.

He suddenly woke up, inexplicably nervous and panic, which made him unable to fall asleep again; this problem became more frequent after middle age, nothing was going well, and there were always various worries... In recent years, there has been no need to worry about military pay, and there is no need to worry about Wu Sangui coming. In addition to handling official duties, King Jin could raise two pots of flowers. It seems that he had not had a nightmare for a long time. Every morning, he woke up, and felt energetic and indescribable.

Just now, Li Dingguo was joking with Feng Shuangli and Bai Wenxuan. They exposed each other's naughtyness and trouble when they were young, which made several close young guards laugh.

...

After the fourth year of Kangxi, Deng Ming never concealed his plan for Yunnan. He repeatedly said in public that he hoped to achieve the unification of Sichuan and Yunnan one day, but he did not intend to solve this problem with force; and for Li Dingguo, Bai Wenxuan and others, Deng Ming also publicly stated that if they had not persisted in the torch of the anti-Qing Dynasty until the twelfth year of Yongli, Deng Ming would not have had the chance to take over the torch. But heroes should not be synonymous with suffering for a lifetime. Deng Ming felt that the older generation had done enough, and the new generation would have to fulfill their responsibilities, so that the heroes would have a chance to live two relaxed days while they were still alive.

According to Mu Tianbo's observation, people in Yunnan seem to trust Deng Ming's promise to resolve peacefully. As for Mu Tianbo, he did not think that Li Dingguo, who had worked hard all his life, should continue to worry all day long - although Mu Tianbo firmly believed that Deng Ming was using a soft knife.

When Mu Tianbo kept saying that he wanted them to go to serve the king, he showed embarrassment. Everyone knew that the good days in Yunnan were inseparable from Yongli staying in Myanmar. Apart from Li Dingguo, there was probably no one in Yunnan who wanted to bring Yongli back. Even the King of Jin who was willing to come back, was probably more guilty than loyalty in his feelings for Yongli.

The King of Jin and King Gong Chang were fine. Xiying generals like He Jiuyi and Ma Bao who had no feelings for the Ming Dynasty even showed impatient expressions when they heard Mu Tianbo's request. They allowed the next generation to penetrate Sichuan, and the plan was very successful. Relying on the connections and wealth of the Xiying in Yunnan, their sons and nephews were all very competitive. Several people ranked among the top in the military academy, and many of the first group of officers became the imperial officers. Now the topic that He Jiuyi, Ma Bao and others often discussed is no longer how to use the Jinying Mountains to compete with the Empire, but how to defeat the Zhejiang, Sichuan and Chuang Groups within the Empire, and make the Xiying the largest mountain in the Empire. Since the Xiying has penetrated into the Empire, the safety and status of the descendants are guaranteed, these Xiying generals do not think that Yongli will have any benefits to them. The emperor would better continue to stay in Myanmar and not come back annoying, and stay forever.
