"Please please, please!" The little official on duty was already ready to pounce on him. When he saw the tip of Boyan's hand, the alertness on his face immediately turned into a smile...ww. He moved aside and led Boyan away from the abortion of people who were queuing for examination. Then he took the tip of the bag, took out the certificate inside, and slowly studied it word by word.

"What's wrong?" The people around who had passed the control immediately stopped. They frowned and talked a lot.

"Who knows, it seems that this person has been a soldier of the Tartars before!"

"What have you ever been a soldier of the Tartars? When you look at him, you look like he is clearly a Tartar!"

"It's really a Tartar. Only the Tartars' eyes are so wide, and they just look straight when looking at people!"

"It was the Tatars' work, the Tatars' work! Kill him, kill him!"

There was a turbulent feeling around. But everyone didn't have much fear on their faces, but they just wanted to see the "Tartars" being broken into pieces. When Boyan, who was undergoing special inspection, heard it, he felt sweaty and hair standing upside down on his body. A heart that was originally full of hope also sank from his chest, sinking down, and sinking down like ice.

Just when he felt his hands and feet start to feel cold, the minor official in charge of the inspection had already verified his identity based on the characteristics of the facial features described in the document. Then, he put the document back with both hands and respectfully "handed" back. Then he raised his right hand to his ear and gave him an extremely upright Huai'an military salute, "Sir, welcome home!"

"Sir, welcome home!" The soldiers secretly guarded around them also lined up in a row, lined up to give Boyan the highest respect for the soldiers.

The discussions around suddenly stopped, and then the crowd became boiling. "It's not ours, but ours. The people we sent to the north to spy on the military affairs of the Tatars are back!"

"Look at his thick eyebrows and big eyes, how could it be the Tartars!"

"Even the Tartars, they can divide the good Tartars and the bad Tartars! Many generals in the Huai'an army have been Tartars!"

"It's not that I've been a Tartar, but that I'm a 'miscuous' way. The chief executive said that good people in the world are brothers, no matter which tribe he is!"

"Hero, hero!"

“Welcome home!”

“Welcome home!”

...

"Go home, go home..." Amid the warm cheers, Boyan's mouth was wet, and he slowly raised his hand, returning with the standard Huai'an military salute as possible. As Tuotuo's adopted son and a senior general of the imperial guards of the Yuan Dynasty, he had received many gifts from his subordinates before, and was surrounded by cheers and praises. But only today, he truly felt the warmth contained in the cheers. [Please go to "See the latest chapters of this book" &26825;&33457;&3195

"Sir, please come with me!" Seeing that more and more people were surrounding the front, the minor official quickly made a gesture to Boyan and led him to the rows of wooden houses next to the dock. "The subordinates were stuck tightly before, so please don't blame him. After all, the war is imminent, and our Xuzhou is the first stop to set off again, and the people are in the crowd. So the subordinates have to be more careful!"

"It's okay, it's okay!" Boyan's heart was burning hot by the cheers that gradually became smaller behind him. He waved his hand and responded in a trembling voice. "Our Huaian Army, when will our Huaian Army set off? Sorry, if it's not convenient to say it, just pretend I didn't ask!"

"Of course there is nothing you can't say to you, Chief. But I really don't know!" The little official's face turned slightly red and he responded embarrassedly.

"Oh!" Boyan felt a little regretful when he heard this. At that moment, he almost completely regarded himself as a Huaiyang person. But at this moment, he suddenly realized that the gap had come back. His appearance and eyes were destined to be difficult to "miss" with the people around him.

"Actually, if you want to know, it is much easier than subordinates!" The little official suddenly scratched his head and lowered his voice to add. "You are a talented person in the Military Intelligence Department, and your position is so high, of course you will know earlier than subordinates. At present, Lord Zhang of the Military Intelligence Department and Lord Chen of the Internal Affairs Department are also in Xuzhou. If you ask them, it will definitely be better than anyone else!"

"Mr. Chen and Mr. Zhang have also arrived in Xuzhou." When Boyan heard this, his heart suddenly became tighter. The two fine leaders of the Huai'an Army, Chen Ji, the head of the Interior Department, and Zhang Song, the head of the Military Information Department, rushed to the front line to take charge. Will the date for the army to head north be far away? Maybe even the warships carrying troops were about to stop, and just wait for the Yellow River to thaw, and then thousands of boats were launched.

"Of course, I've been here for half a month. This morning, they came to the dock to check the thickness of the ice!" The little official didn't know that Boyan could think of so many things in an instant, so he scratched his head and responded in a low voice.

While talking, the two of them had already arrived at the door of the wooden house. The minor official pushed open the door of the largest house and gave Boyan in. Then, while arranging someone to send hot tea and snacks, he explained with a smile: "Sir, please sit here for a while. The people and affairs of the Military Intelligence Department have never been under the jurisdiction of us. They will send someone to pick you up later, and then escort you to hand over to your direct superiors!"

"Thank you!" Boyan thought for a while and nodded with a smile. He reached out to touch his purse with sex, but found that the silver beans he hid inside had been 'flowered'. He was so embarrassed that he took out his hand, and continued to touch Tongzier inside, and his square face turned red again.

The little official is responsible for the careful preparations on the dock every day. How many people and things have I seen? He instantly saw the reason why Boyan's face turned red. He quickly took two steps back and waved his hand quickly, "Sir, please don't be polite. Brother knows that you have a kind heart and want to warm your brother's body. But if someone sees me, I will be ruined in my life. Don't, don't pay it off. Our Huai'an military rules are strict. Except for your military intelligence department, you can be more special, and other departments find such things, and those who give gifts and receive gifts are unlucky!"

"Ah?" Boyan's mouth opened slightly and couldn't help but exclaim. He had been worried that the copper plate in his purse would not be able to take the action, but at this moment, he wished that there was not even a copper piece left in his purse.

In the Yuan Dynasty, the rules were not like this. From Emperor Tuohuan Timur to the idle patrols of the city, no level would refuse to give gifts to others. There are thousands and hundreds of ways to send gifts and receive gifts. What money, money for chasing festivals, birthdays, common money, favors, and money for delivery are so large that ordinary people cannot remember clearly, and it is commonplace from the official to the people. If you do not accept gifts or give gifts, you will be regarded as alternative and will be difficult to move anywhere.

While he was embarrassed, he heard the clerk laughing and said, "Your Majesty, don't care. In fact, as long as the people who just came from the north will not be too adapted to the rules of our Huaiyang. Including the subordinates, when the chief executive issued the order for integrity, they also felt a little unkind. But in three or two years, everyone discovered the benefits. Those who do things do not need to worry about other people's hobbies and the importance of gifts. Those who are in charge do not have to try their best to figure out how to help others open the "door". Everything is as follows the rules, and everyone is happy to be idle!"

"That's right, that's right!" Boyan nodded first, and then sighed secretly. His adoptive father Tuotuo was known as a virtuous prime minister. The money and jewelry he carried out from his mansion when his house was raided also filled a small half of the treasury. As for those famous corrupt officials, such as Yan Timur, Hama, etc., they were all rich enough to compete with the country. The internal government was so corrupt that he met the Huaiyang General Administration, an opponent who even ordinary inspectors knew integrity and self-discipline. It would be strange if the Yuan Dynasty could still withstand it!

"Does the officer and his family stay in the north?" Seeing that Boyan's eyebrows suddenly felt depressed, the minor official asked very understandingly.

"No, it's gone." Boyan quickly turned his mind and shook his head gently. "Lu, my boss is very righteous and has sent my family across the Yellow River long ago. Now, there is no more nostalgia there!"

As soon as he said that, he felt his shoulders relaxed again. Yes, he had already crossed the Yellow River, and he was still "fighting" for the Yuan Dynasty? It was greedy, it was violent, everything that had happened and was happening inside was unreasonable, but it would eventually become a past. And the land under his feet and everyone on this land were about to usher in a new life.

"Then I congratulate the adults and their family for being reunited in advance!" The minor official was very good at speaking. When he heard that Boyan's whole family had arrived in Huaiyang, he immediately smiled and bowed with secular courtesy. "We Huaiyang, we have added many new fun places in the past two years. If you have time, you will take your sister-in-law and your children to stroll around, and you will surely forget all the troubles you have!"

"Take your sister-in-law, you guys, aren't you not allowed women to become monks?" Boyan was curious and couldn't help asking casually. In Dadu, he had heard a lot of rumors about the living customs of the people in the south. What kind of "female" must go to the embroidery building to live alone since the age of eight, what kind of "female" should not show off when they get married, what kind of "female" should not be exposed outside, what kind of starvation is a little lost, all kinds of strange things are everywhere.

But today the little official suggested that he would take his wife and children to stroll outside, which really made him feel a little unexpected. Subconsciously, this habit of "female" and men can dress and horses on the long streets casually belong to the same tribe in the capital. How could it spread to the south of the Yellow River?

"What! Sir, who are you talking nonsense?" The answer from the minor official made Boyan even more stunned. "It is the rule of which dynasty or generation that is not allowed to become a monk? Don't say that we don't have one now. It was just before. When men went out to deal with corvee, they still had to be "women" to help with farm work at home? If they were not allowed to leave, wouldn't the whole family starve to death?!"

After saying that, without waiting for Boyan to explain, he smiled and shook his head, "I understand, this is a rumor. Just like the teacher here, you northerners only take a bath three times in their lifetime. They can't stand any scrutiny at all!"

"That's right!" Boyan was amused and laughed out loud, and his heart was stunned. Although subconsciously, he still felt that the other party was talking about the rules of ordinary people, and rich people should have more constraints on the "female" people. But no matter what, he probably did not pay attention to the "female" people as prisoners. That was not defending the family tradition at all, it was his own death!

The two talked and said, and they would soon become familiar with each other. When the little official knew that Boyan had just arrived, he kindly told him some folk customs and official rules of Huaiyang to him one by one. Boyan thanked the little official for his enthusiasm, and also told him some of the stories and rumors he knew, and he picked up irrelevant things and smiled.

Time passed quickly without realizing it, and it was almost noon. The clerk stood up and looked out, and was about to invite Boyan to have dinner with him. Suddenly, a gentle knock on the door came from outside the 'door', "Is Chief Boyan here? Lord Zhang of the Military Intelligence Department heard that you were returning with honor, and specially prepared a table in the city to welcome you!"
