Hu Tao, a hundred households of the Jinyiwei of Pingliang, was walking anxiously in his hall. The bandits in front blocked the way for him to join the thousand households of Xi'an with these protected people. But time didn't wait for anyone. May was the time of the competition. It was getting closer and closer, and it was really delayed. The commander must not forgive him. How could you know that among the group of people you protected, there would be a top scholar, the talented scholar, who could really increase the land yield.

The emperor paid great attention to Enke this time, and the one who paid more attention to Enke this time was his own commander. Although as a subordinate, he did not understand the boss's long-term considerations, this did not affect his understanding of the important task this time - as long as it was explained by the boss, no matter what the purpose was for, as a subordinate, he must be resolutely and successfully completed. This is his responsibility.

Sun Tao, a hundred households, hurried in and reported: "The magistrate of Pingliang still firmly rejected our request to send troops to protect him. He just took the official imperial examination scholars who followed us into the inn and ignored our request."

Hu Tao could only smile bitterly when he heard this.

The Jinyiwei is the mortal enemy of the official group, especially after his commander-in-chief took office, both in the court and in the local area, and with these officials with the Donglin Party as the main body, they have reached the point where they are incompatible with each other. This is Enke. Although the emperor is the chief examiner in name, everyone in the world understands that in the real invigilator, those who come out to be officials in the future will take the deputy chief examiner as the teacher, and the future talents will be a group of their own commanders.

If Donglin doesn’t do his best to undermine the situation, it’s simply a ghost. Now that there is a ready-made excuse, how can we not use it?

In principle, the prefect has no right to govern the garrison, but in this Ming court, under the serious emphasis on culture and military affairs, the generals of the garrison, even third-rank officials, had to kneel down and kowtow when they met the local seventh-rank county magistrate, but this small county magistrate was following the trend. One was the atmosphere, and the other was that the money and food were in the hands of others, and they had to bow their heads.

Hu Tao continued to circle around the lobby. Now he is not the original Jinyiwei. He has no right to point fingers at the civil servants except to obtain evidence of the other party's corruption and illegality.

"Our adults are really trapped in their own hands and feet. If this is the usual little thing, we will slap the Jinyiwei waist sign on his table, and the prefect must do it for us in a daze. How can he be so idle?" Sun Tao sat on the chair with a grumbling stomach, picked up Hu Tao's teapot, and drank it from mouth to mouth. The cold and delicious tea did not extinguish the irritability in his heart, but instead made him feel even more uncomfortable.

"Shut up." Hu Tao, a hundred-household household, said coldly, and then calmed down, "You and I are sympathetic to brothers, but I have to warn you again that your ability is better than me, and there is no problem with a thousand-household household in the future. But the reason why you have been here is not that I don't recommend you, but that you are so bad-tempered and not liked by your boss."

"Brother, I also know my bad temper. If you hadn't been maintaining it, I wouldn't have even been able to keep this position. But-"

"Shut up." Hu Tao immediately stopped the brother's nonsense. The Jinyiwei monitored the world, but the inside was even more indifferent. This is what people often say. The more the thief is, the more we should strengthen the principle of anti-theft measures.

"Since that old guy doesn't send troops to escort me, we can only do it ourselves. Is Shiraishikawa's pole doing anything?" Then he smiled selfishly: "Actually, there's nothing. As long as I stay for three or five days, those poles will not be able to stay. They must find a way for their next meal."

As he was talking, a Jinyiwei hurried in: "Sir, Shiraishikawa's pole is gone."

Hu Tao took a step forward and grabbed the subordinate: "Did you really check it clearly?"

The subordinate hesitated for a while, and then reported the truth: "Just the day before yesterday, the camp that was not stuck in mud and Li Zicheng's men fought fiercely. Li Zicheng won and obtained the position of leader of the bandit. Then, their entire team rushed towards the Lingtai." Then he thought for a moment: "But one team left the team and entered the forest and disappeared."

When Hu Tao heard this, he was overjoyed and said: "The internal strife of the pole must be a damaging energy. When they went to Lingtai, they were just to continue looking for food and supplies, and to force the people from all over the country to join in order to restore their energy. Of course, the team that left may be a loyal man who is not stuck in mud. He also needs to find some places to loot and restore his strength. Now, our road is open. As long as we pass through Shiraishichuan and send these treasures to Xi'an, we will be fine."

But Sun Tao suddenly started to speak: "What if this pole that has been left behind is not far from here? Please consider it carefully."

Faced with the doubts raised by his good brother and deputy, Hu Tao disagreed: "What can a guy who fails in the battle do in a place that they robbed? Besides, according to our knowledge, that person who is not stuck in mud is a greedy rat with no ambition at all. I guess he has gone to some unknown place now." This is a very reasonable explanation.

Seeing that this brother still has to say it, he has to express his own difficulties: "This time, the Enke is valued by our commander and commander. The reason why we have to work with the formal Qiu Examination is also indispensable. Because we have not escorted these candidates from the Enke exam to Beijing on time, delaying this victory and destroying the planning of the Commander and commander. We really can't take the risk."

Faced with this kind of briefing, Sun Tao finally had nothing to say, and the matter was there. The reason why the commander spent so much money and used so much power this time shows that he had far-reaching considerations and really made mistakes from himself, and no one could take responsibility.

"Will we take out some money and hire some helpers to at least strengthen our momentum?" He still made a suggestion.

Hu Tao thought for a while, and finally shook his head: "Those gangs are okay, they usually pretend to be powerful. If something really happens, they will definitely disperse, which will affect our combat effectiveness. Can't we, brothers of the One Hundred Jinyiwei, kill two bandits?"

The Jinyiwei is the most powerful team in the world. In principle, as long as the 100 Jinyiwei brothers withstand the first attack of the bandits, the rest will be to chase the enemy to the north. What's more, the reputation of his Jinyiwei will make the bandits along the way retreat.

This matter was decided. On the second day, Wang Qingyi, Li Shouyi, Gong Shouyi and three others were woken up early and met with other essay craftsmen and craftsmen in the Jinyiwei square and prepared to set off.

When Wang Qingyi saw that his team had grown stronger again, there were about 70 people now, but when his group of people gathered, the official imperial examination juren who had been following him and protected by light did not come.

But this is also good. The real sarcasm of those awesome juren towards them is still pure.

After counting the number of people, Hu Tao, a hundred households of the Jinyiwei, immediately took his 100 brothers and protected these people on the road with full vigilance.

The Jinyiwei's arrangements were very thoughtful. On the one hand, it was to rush the road, and on the other hand, it was to save the physical strength of these people. Every 10 people were equipped with a big car, and everyone sat in the car, so they were free and easy.

Hu Tao protected the brigade and just left Pingliang City, the city gate behind him immediately closed. Hu Tao looked at the top of the city and saw the cold sneer of the prefect of Pingliang.
