Daning Prefecture!

Huizhoucheng.

It was under the night, at the city gate.

An old man of more than fifty years old brought a young woman wearing a light purple coarse cloth long skirt to the city gate.

After arriving, he also looked at the back under the night very cautiously and worriedly.

But seeing the soldiers on duty at the city gate, the two of them felt a little relieved.

"Stop."

Looking at the two people who arrived alone outside the city, the soldiers guarding the city gate immediately stepped forward.

"My lord."

The old man immediately clasped his fists and saluted.

"Who are you? Do you have a travel permit?"

The squad leader on duty came over, looking at the two very cautiously.

Nowadays, Daning Prefecture can be adjacent to Liaodong, and this Huizhoucheng is a border city of the Great Ming Daning Prefecture, so the defense is naturally much stricter, and the investigation is also the same.

This is also to prevent spies from entering the city.

Therefore, the travel permit is very important.

In this era.

Without a travel permit, you can't go far, no matter who you are, you must have a travel permit, and officials also need documents.

"My lord."

"This is our travel permit."

The old man immediately fumbled in his arms, took out two documents, and handed them respectfully to the soldier in front of him.

The squad leader on duty took these two travel permits, looked at them by the torch at the city gate.

"Lin Fu."

"Shen Shen Yuer."

"Registered in Beiping Prefecture."

"What are you doing running to Daning?" The squad leader on duty saw that there was no problem with the travel permit, and then returned it to the old man in front of him and asked.

"Returning to my lord."

"Specifically here to find someone."

"My young master has been in the army in Daning Prefecture for almost a year, and I haven't received any news for such a long time, so I came here to look for him," Lin Fu replied immediately.

Hearing this.

The squad leader on duty gave Lin Fu a strange look, the meaning of which was obvious to ordinary people, but he naturally couldn't say it directly.

"This Huizhoucheng is a border city where our Great Ming meets Liaodong, and now our Great Ming has sent troops to attack Liaodong and attack the Northern Yuan."

"Further east, you can't go."

"The government has already ordered that before the end of the war, no common people are allowed to pass through Huizhou, so as not to be affected by the war."

"You can stay in Huizhoucheng for a while, or find an opportunity to return to your original place," the squad leader on duty said warmly.

Although he was still performing his duties, thinking that the young master Lin Fu was looking for might have died on the battlefield, this squad leader was also a member of the Daning Border Army, although he was a city guard, but the military system was in Daning, so he was naturally treated differently.

"Can't we go over?"

A bitter look appeared on Shen Shen Yuer's face.

"May I ask my lord."

"The Great Ming sent troops to Liaodong, did the Daning army also move?" Lin Fu asked tentatively with some trepidation.

Seeing this, the squad leader on duty immediately understood Lin Fu's idea.

Although he couldn't bear it, he had to tell the truth.

"Old man."

"It's not that I speak too much, but I don't like to lie, and before the imperial court ordered to attack the Northern Yuan Liaodong, our Daning Prefecture was the first to send troops."

"In this great war, I don't know how many brothers of our Daning Border Army died in battle."

"As a family member of the Daning Border Army brothers, I can only wish that you can find him," the squad leader on duty sighed.

"Then my lord, can I inquire?" Lin Fu asked tentatively.

Shen Shen Yuer on the side also asked with anticipation.

"Which military camp does he belong to?" The squad leader on duty asked.

"I don't know either," Lin Fu shook his head with a bitter smile.

The reason why he came to Daning was all because Shen Shen Yuer heard that the Shen family wanted to be unfavorable to his young master, so Lin Fu ran to Daning Prefecture to find his young master.

"Old man."

"If you don't know which unit he belongs to, then I really can't help you with anything."

"Our Daning Border Army has tens of thousands of people, stationed in various places, I can't possibly know them all."

"You'd better enter the city to rest first, and inquire again tomorrow," the squad leader on duty said helplessly.

Seeing this.

Lin Fu also nodded helplessly.

Daning Prefecture is so big.

It is naturally very difficult to find his young master.

"I'll trouble you, my lord."

"My young master's name is Zhu Ying, if you know where he is, even if he really... really met with an accident, please tell me."

"At least I can collect the body and bury the young master," Lin Fu said in a low voice.

Since entering Daning Prefecture, Lin Fu saw that the entire Daning Prefecture was in a state of preparation for war, and there were graves everywhere; in his heart, Lin Fu had already made the worst preparations.

However.

For the Shen family.

Lin Fu had already decided in his heart that he would absolutely not let them go.

"Shen family, Shen Wansan."

"If the young master really met with an accident, even if I die, I will make your Shen family be buried with him," Lin Fu clenched his fists, full of hatred in his heart.

"Brother Zhu Ying, is it really..."

Shen Shen Yuer's heart was also full of bitterness.

But at this time!

Just when Lin Fu said his young master's name.

The expression of the squad leader on duty changed, and the expressions of the several soldiers who were originally calm also changed.

"Wait."

"What did you say your young master's name was?" The squad leader on duty widened his eyes and asked Lin Fu.

Looking at the expression of the soldier in front of him, Lin Fu was also stunned, and then said: "Zhu Ying."

"Is your young master sixteen years old?" The squad leader on duty asked again seriously.

"No..."

Lin Fu hurriedly wanted to say that his young master was only fourteen years old, but thinking that the Shen family had changed his young master's age to be older, he nodded immediately: "Yes."

Got Lin Fu's affirmation.

The squad leader on duty looked happy.

Then he said to Lin Fu excitedly: "I didn't expect you to be General Zhu's family."

"Brothers."

"This time on duty is really lucky."

"Actually let us meet General Zhu's family."

The squad leader on duty said to the other soldiers.

Hearing the words General Zhu.

The expressions of the surrounding soldiers also changed, all of them showing awe.

Looking at the changes of the soldiers at the city gate, Lin Fu and Shen Shen Yuer were both at a loss.

"My lord, do you know my young master?"

"Don't get the wrong person."

"My young master has only been in the army for less than a year."

"Even if it's how, it's impossible to become a general," Lin Fu asked in astonishment.

Hearing this.

The squad leader on duty smiled: "Old man, I can't be called my lord by you, General Zhu has a noble status, and is the hero of our Daning, today I can receive the old man at this city gate, this is our honor."

"General Zhu, his name shakes the northern frontier! It is the glory of our entire Daning Border Army, even if I am just a city guard, General Zhu's name is also like thunder to the ears."

"That's right."

"General Zhu's name, who in our Daning doesn't know?"

"He killed the Tatars on the northern frontier and suffered heavy losses, General Zhu's name can even stop children from crying in the Tatar tribes."

"Now General Zhu has returned, I think he will soon make new contributions for the Great Ming."
