Chapter 160 Boarding the Ship
For a moment, Hei Yunlong's face was uncertain. He was silent for a moment and said, "Don't worry about it. The current emperor is a young and heroic ruler, and the court is full of gentlemen. Although I, Hei Yunlong, was defeated and fell into the grassland, I am still a man of the Ming Dynasty in my heart! Returning to the Ming Dynasty is the wish of my father and I, and I am willing to be held accountable. What's more, with the Holy Emperor here, the officials in the court will deal with it impartially. What's the big deal even if I lose my job and am dismissed from office?"
"General Hei is truly heroic, and I admire his loyalty very much. But General Hei, aren't you afraid of repeating Li Ling's story?" Zhu Shenzhui asked back.
Hei Yunlong's hands trembled slightly. He didn't expect Zhu Shenzhui to say that, but he still forced a smile and said, "So what if that's the case? I, Hei Yunlong, have led the army for many years. Others dare not say that. I have long been indifferent to the words life and death. Besides, I am not as good as Li Ling, so how can we be confused with him?"
"Hahaha!" Zhu Shenzhui laughed. Hei Yunlong's attitude surprised him. He originally thought that Hei Yunlong would be entangled in this matter, but he didn't expect Hei Yunlong to give his own answer.
For a moment, Zhu Shenzui looked at Hei Yunlong with admiration. Such generals were rare in the Ming Dynasty. Although his position was not high and he was just a garrison commander, he was much stronger than those generals in the Liaodong battlefield who were afraid of the enemy and watched their friendly forces go to their rescue.
There is a saying that goes, if civil officials are not greedy for money, and military generals are not afraid of death! The world will naturally be as stable as Mount Tai. Let's not talk about Hei Yulong's other qualities for now, but he has truly achieved the three words of not fearing death, and his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty is obvious. For this reason alone, Hei Yunlong deserves Zhu Shenzhu's high regard.
After laughing for a while, Zhu Shenzhui looked at Hei Yunlong and his son, and suddenly asked: "General Hei, if I say that I can not only let you go back to Ming Dynasty, but also let you go back without being implicated, and even get promoted, what do you plan to do?"
"This...how is this possible?" Hei Yunlong blurted out, with a look of great surprise on his face.
Then he continued, "Sir, if you can let my father and I return to the Ming Dynasty, I, Hei Yunlong, will be grateful. But if you intend to control my father and me in this matter, you are totally wrong. Although I, Hei Yunlong, am not a big shot, I have read the books of sages and I know a thing or two about how to be a good person."
"General Hei, that's all." Zhu Shenzhui smiled and waved his hand, "Don't worry, let General Hei go back. It's not a big deal to help General Hei with a small favor. I never intended to let General Hei work for Mongolia."
Hei Yunlong was puzzled. Since Zhu Shenzhui said that he was not asking him to work for Mongolia and betray Ming, why did he do this? What if Zhu Shenzhui thought he got along well with him, or if they hit it off right away? Hei Yunlong absolutely did not believe this reason.
Hei Yunlong is not a three-year-old child. There is absolutely no such thing as a free lunch. Zhu Shenzhui has nothing to do with him, so why would he help him like this? If he had no intention, how could he do this?
"I understand that General Hei has doubts in his heart, but there is no need for me to explain this matter in detail. As for why I did this, General Hei does not need to know. How about you owe me a favor? If General Hei agrees, I can release the general and his son back to Ming Dynasty in the next few days. As for redemption, there is no need to mention it anymore."
"By the way, after returning to Ming Dynasty, General Hei does not need to worry about the subsequent troubles. I will naturally help you solve them."
"This..." Hei Yunlong blinked, wondering in his heart, he still didn't understand what Zhu Shenzhui was up to. But no matter what, since the other party agreed to let him go back to Ming Dynasty, let's not talk about other things for now, this alone is enough.
As long as he returns to Ming Dynasty, Hei Yunlong can figure out what happens next on his own. He still has some connections with his old superiors after many years in the army. If he makes some arrangements then perhaps the crime won't be so serious, and he can even bear the thought of being stripped of his position and demoted.
As for Zhu Shenzhui's words about favors, Hei Yunlong thought it would be okay to agree to it for the time being. When his people returned to Ming Dynasty, whether Mongolia would fulfill its promise would be up to Hei Yunlong himself.
Thinking of this, Hei Yunlong felt relieved and a relaxed smile appeared on his face. He nodded and said, "In this case, my father and I owe you a favor. Thank you for your help. Hei Yunlong will repay you in the future!"
"Okay!" Zhu Shenzhui clapped his hands and laughed. After laughing, he called the Mongolians outside, pointed at Hei Yunlong and his son, and gave them some instructions. He asked them to take Hei Yunlong and his son downstairs to wash and change clothes, and then treat them well. He would give them four horses and weapons tomorrow, let them go, and tell them how to return to the Ming Dynasty towards Zhangjiakou.
After giving the instructions, Zhu Shenzhui asked people to take Hei Yunlong and his son away. Before leaving, Hei Yunlong and his son respectfully saluted Zhu Shenzhui and Tana again, especially when they looked at Zhu Shenzhui with complicated eyes. Zhu Shenzhui smiled and nodded, indicating that they could rest assured, and watched them leave.
"Aren't you afraid that these two people will deny their debt after returning to Ming Dynasty? Besides, didn't he promise to redeem himself? This is five thousand taels of silver!" After seeing off Hei Yunlong and his son, Tana couldn't help but ask.
"Haha, there are some things you don't understand. Although five thousand taels of silver is not a small amount, it is worth it to use it to exchange for them father and son." "But what if they return to Ming Dynasty..." Tana was afraid that Zhu Shenzhui would suffer a loss, so she couldn't help but say again.
Patting her hands, Zhu Shenzhui smiled and said, "Hei Yunlong may think so himself, but Tana, he will never think that I am not a Mongolian. And it is not so easy to get on my boat. No matter what he plans to do, as long as he nods and agrees, and returns to Daming under my arrangement, he will not be able to get off my boat. At that time, many things will not be what Hei Yunlong wants to do. Naturally, there are ways to control him."
"Hehe, so that's how it is!" Tana couldn't help but laugh. Although Zhu Shenzhui didn't tell Tana exactly how he would deal with Hei Yunlong and his son, Tana had enough confidence in this man. In Tana's mind, this man was omnipotent. What was a Hei Yunlong? Since Zhu Shenzhui said so, then he would definitely be able to do it.
Zhu Shencui kept his word. After meeting Zhu Shencui, Hei Yunlong and his son were taken away by several Mongols. They then changed their clothes and washed, and were given food.
It has been more than a month since they fled from Liaodong to Mongolia. During this time, Hei Yunlong and his son not only had to avoid the pursuers of the Later Jin Dynasty, but also had to survive on the grassland and find a route back to the Ming Dynasty. Because they had no supplies, their life on the grassland was not easy.
When they were caught and fell into the hands of the Mongols, Hei Yunlong and his son became slaves of the Mongols, and their lives became even more difficult. Not only did they not have enough food to eat on weekdays, but they also had to do heavy, dirty and tiring work. If they were not strong, they might not have been able to survive the journey back.
Now that they had changed their clothes and were finally out of slavery, plus the rich food, the father and son had a good meal. After eating and drinking, looking at each other with a new look, Hei Yunlong and his son were still a little dazed, as if all this was a little unreal.
The next morning, the Mongols came to them and gave them four horses, dry food, water bags and weapons for self-defense. In addition, there was a piece of parchment with the route to return to the Ming Dynasty marked on it. After these things were handed over to Hei Yunlong and his son, one of the Mongols who could speak a few words of Chinese told them in a stiff tone that they were now free and could leave.
After hearing these words, Hei Yunlong and his son were convinced that all this was true. The father and son exchanged glances, packed their things in silence, climbed onto their horses under the gaze of the Mongols, and then rode away.
At first, they were not riding fast, and their bodies seemed a little stiff, as if they were on guard against something. After walking a distance from the camp, Hei Yunlong looked back at the camp and found that the Mongols on the other side of the camp showed no signs of getting on their horses to chase them, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, he said something to Hei Mingzhong, and the father and son's horses suddenly sped up and started running. Amid a series of hoof sounds, the figures of the two men became farther and farther away, and finally disappeared at the other end of the grassland.
Zhu Shenzui stayed in the tribe for two more days, and only set out to return to Daming on the third day after Heilongyun and his son left.
On the night before returning to Ming Dynasty, he and Tana spent the entire night in the yurt. Perhaps because she knew that Zhu Shenzui would not be able to return to the grassland for at least half a year, Tana was reluctant to let him go and expressed her love to her man in this way with great enthusiasm.
On the day of separation, Tana did not see Zhu Shenzhu off. In her words, she did not want to face such a separation. It would be better not to see him off, as if her man had left for a while, and he would be back in early winter, and she would not feel the sadness and loss of separation.
After kissing his woman, Zhu Shenzhui whispered a promise in her ear and then left the yurt. He did not dare to look back, because looking back would make him sad. After leaving the yurt, the caravan was ready to set off. Zhu Shenzhui got on his horse and waved his hand, and the caravan set off.
The journey back was smooth and we arrived in Pingyang safely.
When we arrived in Pingyang, it was already close to the end of June. Although we wasted some time on the grassland, at least we did not miss the originally scheduled wedding.
As soon as I arrived at Pingyang's home, I saw Zhang busy with people as soon as I entered the house. Hearing the noise of someone entering the house, Zhang turned around and saw that it was Zhu Shenzhu who came back. A smile appeared on her face and she walked towards me.
