Over the years, it has become common for the Tang Dynasty to send eunuchs in the ranks of foreign countries. However, it was the first time that the Tang Dynasty had only appointed one eunuch to inspect the border town. Niu Xiantong's arrival made Shanzhou, which had been basically stable and peaceful for more than two years, and everyone who entered and left the governor's office, from civil and military officials to minor officials and servants, was more careful, and even the voice of his speech was lowered. Although Du Shiyi seemed to be very patient in front of Niu Xiantong, news occasionally came out of Zhenqiangzhai, saying that the Longyou Jieshou was in a bad mood.

At this time, when I feel very good, then there is a ghost. Niu Xiantong just entered Huangshui City. Didn’t he give Du Shiyi a warning in person? If it weren’t for the righteous and righteous secretary Wang Changling, he immediately refuted it, I’m afraid that the imperial envoy’s attitude would be even more arrogant.

"Grandma, Grandma"

"Uncle Duan"

Duan Xingchen, who was walking towards Zhenqiangzhai for a lot of worries, suddenly heard these two voices. When he looked back, he realized that Duan Xiushi and Du Guangyuan had returned side by side. Two years later, his youngest son had grown a lot, and Du Guangyuan was also old. Although Duan Xiushi, who was much older than Duan Xiushi, looked more shorter than his head, he was more handsome than Wenxiu. As Du Shiyi's eldest son, Wang Rong has always attached importance to his homework, but Du Guangyuan inevitably valued martial arts and over literature. Although he could recite the classics and history twice, he did not even have a shadow in his talent in poetry and essays. Now he can ride a horse and pull a small wooden bow and hit the target.

"The little husband is back." Duan Xingchen just nodded slightly to his son and asked Du Guangyuan, "This time, Longyou Elite Hall is on monthly vacation, why don't you see the two little husbands of the Cui family?"

"Auntie and uncle miss them, so I send someone to pick them up early." Du Guangyuan quickly explained, then stepped forward and grabbed Duan Xingchen's sleeve and asked uneasily, "Uncle Duan, I heard that an imperial envoy has come to Chang'an, and he wants to find the Grandpa?"

This question was so direct that Wang Sheng, Wang Hu, Du Mingzhen and Du Mingyu, who came in later, all showed shameful expressions. They were both older than Du Guangyuan. Since their elders thought they were better than their peers, they naturally learned to be a little adult-like cunning. Therefore, at this moment, the four of them looked at each other and were about to go forward to find a way to stop them, but Duan Xiushi suddenly reached out and pressed Du Guangyuan's shoulder.

"Guangyuan, in public, it is not good for you to say and ask."

Du Guangyuan heard too many whispers in the Elite Hall for several days, and he was already full of anger. He was about to refute Duan Xiushi, but Duan Xingchen's face was tired and old. Duan Xiushi kept shaking his head to him again, and then looked at the small officials not far away avoiding his sight. Wang Sheng and the other four rushed forward and blocked the snooping gazes for him. He suddenly became depressed. After saying goodbye to other classmates and returning to his mother's bedroom, he sat down with his head down and ignored his sister Du Xianhui.

"Brother, what's wrong with brother?"

"Guangyuan, why don't you ignore your sister?"

"I feel unhappy" answered in a muffled voice. Du Guangyuan suddenly realized that it was not his mother who was asking about it, but his father. He bounced up and rushed to his father quickly, and asked in a row: "Grandpa, grandpa, what's going on? That Niu Xiantong is really here to find fault? He wants to find Grandpa's crimes and mistakes, and drag you down, right? Grandpa, aren't you the governor of Longyou? Why should you pay attention to such a guy? Some students in the Elite Hall talk privately, as if Grandpa was about to be dismissed and demoted. If it weren't for Xiushi, I would almost scold them."

"You said that, it's a little, not everyone thinks so." Du Shiyi smiled and rubbed his son's head. Seeing the little guy pouting, he clearly didn't believe his understatement, he said earnestly, "Remember, you are the eldest son of the family, and all your younger brothers and sisters are watching you. Don't be impatient when something happens. Look at your senior brother Wenshen. His father was demoted from a distance and then died of illness. How many cold eyes did he receive when he went from the prime minister to the son of a criminal minister? You are eight years old and are not a child anymore. Now when you encounter something, you are hung up and listless, like a manly man."

When Wang Rong heard that Du Shiyi had even said something that had been demoted to the distance and died of illness, even though she knew Du Shiyi's advance arrangement, she couldn't help but suddenly change her face. At this critical moment, would she be a prophecy?

Du Guangyuan didn't think so much like his mother. He was stimulated by his father's words and immediately stood up straight and raised his chest: "Grandma, I understand. When I go back to the elite hall, I will definitely cheer up and let them see it. It's just that His Majesty sent an imperial envoy to patrol the border. He was upright and was not afraid of the shadows. There was nothing to be afraid of."

"Okay," Du Shiyi smiled and nodded. Seeing that Du Xianhui was still looking at his brother, he said kindly, "You have to go to the Elite Hall to practice civil and martial arts every day, and you don't have much time to accompany your sister. Now you are rarely back and take her out to relax. You also call Xiushi and your cousins ​​together, so that everyone will not think that there is so sadness in the Governor's Office in Shanzhou."

When Du Guangyuan heard that he had a task, his eyes immediately shone and pulled Du Xianhui and ran out. When his children left, Wang Rong's worries were relieved a little, but he still stood up and said angrily: "What should I use Yuwen Rong as a good example? He was cheated by Pei Guangting at the time, and Xiao Song stood by and watched and was happy to see it. Now, although everyone seems to be related to you, everyone may not be willing to watch you continue to make a fortune and go back to compete for the position with them in the future."

"Young Mother, you're thinking too much." Du Shiyi spread his hands freely and pressed her shoulder to let her sit down, then sat next to her. "Whether it is the court or the county, I have made preparations. Moreover, the road ahead has been left, and when it really reaches that point, I can escape from death. At that time, the sea is wide and the fish leaps, and the sky is high and the birds fly."

This was the first time Wang Rong heard the word "death escape" from Du Shiyi. She took a light breath, and then couldn't help but hug Du Shiyi tightly: "No matter where you go, I will follow you. Go to heaven and earth, never separate."

Du Shiyi was so excited by his wife's decisive words, and then he smiled and patted her on the back: "With this sentence of you, I will have no regrets in my life. Let's see where Niu Xiantong takes action."

Early the next morning, Du Shiyi received news from the inn. Niu Xiantong didn't even say hello and roared out of the city with people. It is said that he was going to inspect Heyuan Army, Shancheng County, west of Huangshui City, Shanzhou, and also to Anrenjun. He knew that Niu Xiantong would definitely not be able to stop him at the city gate. He had greeted him at the city gates around him when he came here. He immediately let the party go when he saw the loyalty, so as not to be scolded or even beaten. However, it is hard to say whether Niu Xiantong suddenly left was really going west.

As soon as Chibi left, Liu Mo and Bai Jiang tried their best to handle the tea shop for Wang Rong. The most caring person around Du Shiyi was Wu Tianqi. He was a character who moved his body as soon as he could. He now patted his chest and promised, "Master Lang, I ordered people in Shancheng and Taozhou, Hezhou to pay attention to the transitors. No matter where this Niu Xiantong went, there would be news."

"Have he brought all his entourage and guards out?"

After receiving a positive reply from Wu Tianqi, he asked again: "The civil and military officials in Huangshui City summoned by Niu Xiantong, after preliminary investigation, how do you deal with it?"

"In Lintao Army, General Wang and General Nan, they naturally tried their best to say good things about the general. Of course, Ma Jie and Chen Huang arranged several people to criticize the general for some of their mistakes, but they were all trivial, so Niu Xiantong couldn't help but get angry the day before yesterday."

He sorted out the entire Lintao Army more than once like a comb. Even Guo Jiandu was dismissed to the Western Army of Hezhou Town. Du Shiyi was confident that he would not leave any nails on his higher official positions. As for those who were low-ranking people to ask for help from Niu Xiantong, he would not ban him, but at least not in the past few days. Whether it was true that there was no noise in Huangshui City, or some people were also very smart, we still had to wait for further news.

In the afternoon, the second news came to Du Shiyi. As expected, just like the possibilities he had expected, Niu Xiantong took his entourage to Hezhou.

"He should not be too anxious. If you don't bring a guide, you should know that when I went to Hezhou before, I went to the marching road. It's not easy to walk on the road. And because it's too close to Tubo, if they lose their minds and attack them, it's not a trivial matter."

Hearing this, Wu Tianqi, who came to report the message, quickly replied: "Report to the Lord, I just found out that Niu Xiantong had a guide and invited ten people."

Du Shiyi was shocked and was shocked: "Ten? Even if he was just a newcomer and didn't know the way, it would be enough to use two or three, so how much would he ask for?"

After thinking about it, Du Shiyi saw Wang Zhongsi frowning tightly, and he asked, "What did Zhongsi think of?"

"I was wondering, when the Grand Marshal visited the Chiling Border Monument last time, he took risks and fished out Mu Huoluo, the main war faction of Tubo, and at the same time he also beat Guo Zhili and others to establish his authority. Will this Niu Xiantong deliberately go to Hezhou, which he is not familiar with, want to use the same trick again? However, what he planned might be the opposite of what the Grand Marshal did at the beginning, which was to use the illusion of being attacked by others to destroy the emperor's imperial edict in Hezhou, and ordered the Hezhou Zhenxi Army to attack for such a merit. If he defeated the war, it was his head. It is important to know that Guo Jian, the general of the Zhenxi Army, was too fond of thinking and did not dare to take responsibility. He might be deceived. In addition, Miao Yansi had always had a disagreement with the Grand Marshal..."

Du Shiyi immediately stood up suddenly. This kind of courageous and extremely risky possibility was not in his plan. In his opinion, Niu Xiantong has always been relying on the emperor's favor and acted as a blessing in the two capitals. How could he do so freely in the border areas? Moreover, this kind of thing needs to be guided by Lao Ma to provide guidance and suggestions before it can be successful. Is there such a person around Niu Xiantong?

He and Wang Zhongsi looked at each other and thought of someone almost at the same time.
