After simply having breakfast, the two set out toward the gantry on the other side of the mountain.

After Zhu Yuanzhang decided to change his offensive strategy against the Northern Yuan Dynasty, he began to build defensive fortifications, mainly to restore the Great Wall. Due to national strength restrictions, only the Great Wall from Shanhaiguan to Juyongguan has been restored so far. The rest of the Great Wall has not yet been restored to facilitate temporary construction of castles for defense. Although the Xuanhua area is located in the Yanshan Mountains, the terrain is wide and suitable for large-scale cavalry invasions, there are also many troops stationed in this area, such as the famous Wanquan Left and Left Guard, Huaian Guard, Xuanfu San Guard, Longmen Guard, etc., and then the second is to be repaired.

Many strong city forts were built, such as Songshu Fort, Yunzhou Fort, Chicheng Fort, Banbidian Fort, etc. The army and castles formed a solid defense system in the Xuanhua area. Since they are all located in Yan territory, they are all controlled by the King of Yan Zhu Di. The Longmen Shop where Li Wei was about to go to is actually a solid castle. It was built in the sixth year of Hongwu and belonged to Longmen Guard. It is located between two mountains and ridges, blocking a canyon entrance. It was originally a section of the Great Wall. It has now been built into a castle with thousands of troops garrisons, which is one of the most important gateways in Xuanhua.

Since there is no private city near Longmen Station, it is also a small border town. There are four or five thousand residents in the city, most of which are family members of military households. Businessmen often bring goods from Peking. When the war is over, some Mongolian herders will come here to sell sheep or buy daily necessities. Therefore, there are dozens of inns and shops of all sizes in the city.

However, because the King of Yan led a 100,000 army to the north of Mo this year, he took away most of the troops of the Xuanhua guards, including the 500 troops left in the Longmen defenders. In order to prevent spies, Zhu Di issued strict orders before going to the expedition. No matter who tried to enter and exit the border, those who tried to enter and exit the border were killed immediately. Since the beginning of spring, the atmosphere in the city has been in a state of tension.

At noon, Li Weizheng and Ye Zitong, who had traveled thousands of miles, finally arrived at this small frontier town. On a hill, Li Wei was staring at the castle. He finally reached the most border of the Ming Dynasty. Will the final battle take place here?

"Tongtong, you'd better go to Donglai Fort to stay for a while!" Li Wei was pondering for a long time and said to Ye Zitong.

Ye Zitong didn't say anything. She lowered her head. She knew that her lover was afraid that she would be hurt. On the other hand, she would also drag them down. She nodded, "Then I'll go by myself!"

Li Weizheng didn't expect that she would agree so readily. In fact, he was a little hesitant. He knew nothing about Donglaibao, so would he feel relieved if he asked Ye Zitong, a single woman, to go?

While hesitating, a team of horses came from the official road ahead. An old man smiled at them from a distance, "Two, why did you get here too?"

It turned out to be the caravan I met yesterday. The old man urged him to come forward and apologize: "I forgot to say yesterday that riding a horse can't cross the mountains, and it will delay your trip."

"You are polite, my father-in-law." Li Wei was about to inquire with him, so he quickly bowed and said, "I want to ask again, what is the security of Donglai Fort? Is it appropriate to let my female companion live alone in Donglai Fort?"

The old man glanced at Ye Zitong and smiled and said, "Donglai Fort itself is a kind of honest folk custom, but you even want to go to Donglai Fort, there is no place to live. It is just a small village, which is already full of people and has no place to stay in the house. We also squatted in the woods outside the village for a whole night last night. When a single woman goes, where do you ask her to live?"

The old man pointed to the Longmensou again and said, "The Longmensousou is different. There are more than a dozen inns of all sizes. If you have something to do, you can let her live alone in another inn. You can do your business, so you can rest assured!"

When Li Wei heard what he said made sense, he thanked him and turned to Ye Zitong and said, "Then let's go!"

Ye Zitong smiled and she thanked the old man, so the two of them walked towards the dragon gate together.

Although the military and civilians of Longmen Station were not big, there were still mule and horse merchants coming from Peking along the way. They were all betting on the opportunity to make money for the return of the army. The year before yesterday, Lan Yu defeated the Beiyuan Army and saved a large amount of spoils. The soldiers sold them at a low price, which made a group of foresighted merchants richer. This time, no one was willing to give up this opportunity.

After entering the city, the merchants who were traveling with him had to go to the inspection office to pay taxes. The group broke up at the city gate. Li Wei was taking Ye Zitong to find the inn first.

"Customer, the shop is full, you might as well go somewhere else!"

"I'm really sorry, there are only shops left in the shop. Do you think you have reserved a room? There are no reserved rooms. Besides, how can you sleep in the shops with your female family?"

Li Weizheng couldn't find Yang Ning for a moment, so he wanted to stay in first. Unexpectedly, he asked several inns, which were all full. He found a horse shop to store his horse and luggage first, and prepared to go to another inn to take a look.

"Dalang, let's try it out when we go to a private house. Someone must be willing to rent a house." After walking with Li Wei for more than a month, Ye Zitong also gained some experience. When she saw a house on the side of the road, she pointed to it happily and said, "Or why don't we go to that house to ask, okay?"

When Li Wei saw a few horse-tie stakes erected in front of the house, he guessed that their house might have an empty house for rent, he nodded and said, "Okay! Let's go and ask."

As soon as the two of them walked to the door, the door just opened. One person walked out of the inside and met Li Weizheng. Both of them were stunned for a moment. The enemy was narrow, and it was not someone else who came out, but Han Danding, who was following thousands of miles away.

Han Danding originally planned to go out to find the King of Yan and present the letter from the prince. Perhaps the King of Yan would give him a chance to make military achievements in his joy. This was something he had longed for. He endured it for two years under Cheng Yannian. He had had enough, but he did not expect that the King of Yan issued a strict order before leaving and did not allow anyone to go out to the King of Yan. This cut off Han Danding's hope of making contributions. Fortunately, the King of Yan was about to return, so he decided to wait in the Longmen Site, but he never expected that Li Weizheng was injured and chased him.

The two of them were stunned for a blink of an eye, and at the same time they realized that Li Weizheng pulled Ye Zitong behind him and drew the knife across his chest. Han Danding took three steps back and drew his sword in his hand. He looked at Li Weizheng in shock and couldn't speak for a long time.

The two stood for a stick of incense. Li Wei put away the knife first, smiled and bowed, "Where will we meet in life? Brother Han is fine?"

Han Danding also withdrew the sword and smiled and said, "Brother Li is determined, and Han admires it very much."

At this time, his two subordinates rushed out of the yard and stared at Li Weizheng vigilantly. Han Danding stopped them and apologized to Li Weizheng: "I disappointed Brother Li. I have ordered another subordinate to send that letter away."

"Is that so? Then congratulations to Brother Han for his great contribution."

Li Wei was smiling sincerely. He looked back at Ye Zitong, then smiled calmly at Han: "But I took the eldest lady of the Ye family to elope here, not why the letter. I met Brother Han unexpectedly. It seems that we are really destined to be together!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a severe pain was felt on his back. He held back and quietly reached out to his back to pull Ye Zitong's nails out of his flesh. He laughed dryly and said, "Why did Brother Han come here? Could it be that he has been in Wuchang for a long time and came here to relax?"

"That's right, the scenery in the spring is like a picture, and I have long admired it for a long time." Han Danding haha, waved his hand and smiled at the yard, "Or what if we are going into the house and talking about it in detail?"

"No, there is still something to do now. I'll come to visit you another day and say goodbye first." Li Wei was bowing his hand and pulled Ye Zitong away.

Han calmly smiled and kept looking at his back and turned around. His face suddenly sank. He turned around and said coldly to a subordinate: "Go! Chase and kill him."

"Yes!" his subordinate responded and pulled his feet to chase him.

Just as Li Wei turned around, he immediately said to Ye Zitong: "Run forward, wait for me in the restaurant in front, run!"

Ye Zitong wanted to say something, but Li Weizheng pushed her violently. She stumbled forward and looked back nervously while running. Li Weizheng was still walking calmly, but his hands gradually tightened the hilt and his eyes slowly narrowed.

The sound of footsteps came from behind, followed him slowly, with the same pace as him, and a peddler selling miscellaneous goods walked by next to him.

"Needle, thread, home groceries!"

The peddler might have noticed the abnormality of the two. He shouted twice and turned into an alley. There was no one around Li Wei. Just as the peddler turned, Li Wei was pulling out his sword. The sword was like lightning and slashing head-on. Almost at the same time, the assassin behind also activated. He thrust his sword and stabbed Li Wei in the back. The sword was silent and extremely fast, but he was still a beat slower. Li Wei was snatched the opportunity. The sword was still one foot away from the back, but the blade had reached his head. The assassin was shocked and tilted his head back and raised his sword to separate it. "Crack!" The sword body was slashed into two. The blade swept across his nose and slipped along, splitting a big hole on his left shoulder. The assassin fell to the ground with a long sword in his hand. He knelt on one knee to the ground, and was trembling with pain.

"You have been merciless at Wudangshan, and I will spare your life too." Li Wei said coldly and left.
