Luo Xin shook his head and said, "Enjoyed Father, Mongolia is not a bandit. If Altan Khan's army attacked, Yanglin County would probably not be able to defend it. ●⌒, so the adoptive father left Yanglin County and went to Jinyang Prefecture without any danger."

Zhou Tingyu nodded slightly. In this regard, he did escape because of this promotion. He just thought that he might become a scapegoat, and his expression still looked bad on his face.

"As for the scapegoat matter, you don't need to be too pessimistic. You have been an official in Yanglin County for many years and are not unfamiliar with the officials of Jinyang Prefecture, so you are not a newcomer in Jinyang."

"That's right." Zhou Tingyu's face showed a smile: "I still have some connections in Jinyang Mansion."

"As long as the adoptive father shows your abilities in your position, and with your connections, as long as the Jinyang Mansion is not broken, you should be able to survive this crisis safely."

“我的能力?要如何做?”

“义父,知府应该知道边关之事吧?”

"Yes!" Zhou Tingyu nodded and said, "If there is really something wrong with the border, as the prefect of Jinyang Prefecture, he will definitely know."

"Then I think my adoptive father should visit the prefect as soon as possible. First, he would like to thank the prefect for his promotion. Even if he did not become the confidant of the prefect, he should not let him regard you as a political enemy. On the other hand, he could tell him that when you visited in a private manner, he would learn from the people who came back from outside the pass that there were abnormal movements in Mongolia and remind the prefect to prepare early. This would make the prefect feel that you are a capable, diligent, and considerate of him. I believe he would repay you."

Zhou Tingyu sat there and his face changed constantly, and finally nodded and said, "That's it. I'll go to Jinyang Mansion to meet the prefect tomorrow."

"Bring more yamen runners to prevent Mongolian spies." Luo Xin said in a narrow voice.

Zhou Tingyu's expression changed and he nodded solemnly. Luo Xin said again: "Entertainment Father, don't mention me in front of the prefect, just say that it was the person you found when you visited in a private visit."

"You don't want to show your abilities," Zhou Tingyu paused and said, "But I still have to thank you."

Returning from the Zhou Mansion, as soon as I entered the house, I saw Lu Yuan with Lu Zhonglian, Liang Dazhu and other servants, and Die'er and other maids standing there, politely saluting Luo Xin, and shouting with smiles:

“恭贺公子夺得县试案首!”

Luo Xin laughed "haha" and waved at Lu Yuanyi, "Reward!"

"Thank you!"

Everyone gave a bow again, and Luo Xin left strode. He did not say how much reward, Lu Yuan would take care of everything. He did not return to his room, but walked towards the main hall. He knew that the results were released today, and his parents must have seen it. I guess they were waiting for him in the main hall at this time. When he entered the main hall, he found that Lu Tingfang and his brothers, as well as Dai'er were also there. As soon as he saw Luo Xin coming in, Dai'er jumped up from the chair and ran to Luo Xin for a short walk and squatted in front of him and said:

“小哥哥.恭喜你夺得县试案首!”

Luo Xin touched his body, and finally took out a piece of one or two small silver ingot and stuffed it into Dai'er's little hand, and said heroically:

"reward!"

Dai'er looked at the small silver ingot in her hand and pouted, "That's all?"

"Puchi..." The sister-in-law Zhang Yunniang in the main room laughed out loud.

"Hahaha……"

Everyone in the main hall laughed. Lu Tingfang also laughed out loud. He knew that his daughter was not a greedy person, but because she was familiar with Luo Xin, she was squeezing Luo Xin. So he smiled and shook his head. He didn't blame Dai'er.

Looking at Dai'er's cunning gaze, Luo Xin spread his hands and said, "This is the only silver I have on my brother, I will give it to you all at once. How about it? Is my brother generous?"

"Hahaha……"

Everyone laughed even more. Luo Xin had just stepped forward to greet each other, and at this time Dai'er had already returned to her seat and sat there dignifiedly.

“信儿,不错.”

Lu Tingfang's face was flushed, as if he was excited as if he had passed the Jinshi exam that year, but he was still suppressing his emotions and was much more implicit. But Lu Tingjiang became much more direct, walked straight to Luo Xin, patted Luo Xin's shoulder and said excitedly:

“信儿,考得好,考得漂亮!”

At this time, his parents and sister-in-law also congratulated him. Luo Xin was not at all humble in congratulations to his parents, teachers and sister-in-law, and accepted them all. As for his family, there is no need to be so polite. Luo Xinfei's parents and sister-in-law, and Lu Tingfang brothers also enjoyed this undistancing atmosphere, so Lu Tingjiang even shouted to have a good drink. Luo Ping naturally ordered a banquet. Luo Xin had just finished eating in the Zhou Mansion, but he still had another meal with his family. Finally, his belly shaking back to his yard.

"Young Master, are you drunk?" Chunhua heard the sound of footsteps in the room and hurriedly ran out. Seeing Luo Xin shaking there, she jogged over to support Luo Xin. Butterfly, who was following Chunhua, hurriedly turned around and ran to the kitchen.

“公子,我去给你炖醒酒汤.”

"I'm not drunk!" Luo Xin took a deep breath and said, "I'm overeating!"

“噗通……”

Die'er's feet slipped and she lay on the ground, while Chunhua, who was holding Luo Xin, was already bent over with a smile...

The next evening, Zhou Tingyu hurried back. The news he brought back was that Alatan Khan did take action, but he did not assemble the army. It was just that the news came out of the grassland, and Alatan Khan was preparing to invade the Ming Dynasty again.

Altan Khan did not hide the news of invading the Ming Dynasty. In his opinion, the Ming Dynasty was just a group of broilers, and they could come to burn, kill and loot at any time. There was no difference between being prepared and not being prepared. In fact, this is true. Since Altan Khan rose, he has been constantly using troops to the Ming Dynasty. The Ming army was simply terrible. When Altan Khan invaded Gubeikou, the Ming Dynasty's capital army had been disbanding for a long time and was about to collapse.

When the Altan Khan soldiers surrounded Beijing, the Ming army around them was afraid to go out to fight and actually "cryed and shook the sky". The Beijing army was so festered, and the border guards were equally bad. The soldiers of the Ming border towns fled severely due to land annexation and other reasons. Many military towns and garrisons were missing more than half of them, and the morale of the fighters was also depressed. For many years, the Mongolians came, the Ming army ran away, the Mongolians killed, the Ming army hid, the Mongolians looted, and the Ming army watched the fun. This was a fixed script that was staged every year on the Ming border. It was a habit to lose the battle.

Therefore, Altan Khan was not worried that the fact that he was preparing to attack the Ming Dynasty would be leaked. Instead, he made a big splash, causing pressure and panic to the Ming border army.
