Chapter 55 Returning to Night

Life always seems to arrange inexplicable things for you at inexplicable moments. Just like now, Zheng Fan feels that he has done nothing wrong.

As an envoy, if you say harsh words, this Isn't it a normal thing?

People say that losing the enemy does not lose the formation, not to mention that no matter what the future holds, at least for now the Yan army has camped outside Shangjing.

Isn’t it right for you to be a little arrogant, domineering, and arrogant?

Isn’t it a normal process for you to be a little aggrieved, a little angry, a little humiliated, and to endure a little?

Is it possible that the second young master of the ancestral family is really a reckless man, and he got angry just because he ridiculed and sarcastic a few times?

Zheng Fan felt that he was like a troubled person in later generations,

You bump into me, you bump into me, if you dare, you bump into me to death,

Bang!

The power of the magic pill has just been used. Although it seems to be because of my improvement in strength or because I am used to fighting with babies,

This time I did not collapse and fall to the ground unable to move. , but even if the magic pill is forcibly summoned again, it will be difficult to have any real effect in the face of hundreds of soldiers around.

Unless...

For a while,

Zheng Fan, Blind Man and A Ming all focused their attention on Zu Dongling.< /p>

Catch the thief first and capture the king first!

At this critical moment, a sword flew directly over and struck the ground in front of Zu Dongling in a moment.

"Buzz!"

The sword was still trembling slightly and making a soft sound.

Zu Dongling's expression changed. He recognized the sword because it had the logo of the Baili family on it.

Baili brother and sister, one is called Baili Feng and the other is called Baili Xianglan;

Of course, everyone is more accustomed to calling the former Baili Sword, because he is the pride of Qian Country , is also the master of swordsmanship in the world.

Yao Zizhan, a great writer of the Qian Kingdom, once wrote a poem using a sword as a metaphor for people. In the poem, Baili Feng was directly called Baili Sword, and the title came from this.

For this reason, when the contemporary world was commenting on the four great masters of swordsmanship, some people were dissatisfied, saying that Ganren had the right to speak in the literary world, and praising a person with poems and articles was simply Ganren's mastery. Therefore, if It is said that the sword maker of the Chu State was forced to be promoted to the position of the Four Great Swordsmen by the swordsman of the Jin State. The position of Baili Sword, which seems to be the first of the four great swordsmen, was based on the frequent drunkenness of the literati of the Qian State. It is piled up with poems one after another.

Not to mention the sword maker of Chu State, the sword master of Jin State is a lunatic. He often goes crazy and does not even give up the face of the royal family and the three major clans of Jin State. Li Liangshen of Yan State is also a madman. Even Qiu Ba in the army, others don't have so many resources to boast about compared to Baili Jian.

This is just like the oiran in the capital;

Everyone has their own taste, and everyone also has their own preferences, some like plump ones, and some like exquisite ones. of, there are those who like literary talents, and there are also those who only love three-inch golden lotus feet,

But there is only one oiran. In the final analysis, the final comparison is nothing more than whose financial backer is more willing to spend money to build publicity. Let’s cheer.

But describing Baili Sword in this way can be said to be a bit of a lemon, because no matter what, the strength of Baili Sword is indeed convincing.

At that time, Baili Jian came to Beijing dressed in white. The officials went to Yulong Bridge to welcome him personally and worshiped him as the prince's martial arts master.

This is something that everyone in the streets knows, but there is another thing that only the rich and powerful know, and that is Baili Jian’s sister, who was recognized by the officials as his goddaughter and has been kept as his daughter. At his side, wearing silver armor.

In the distance, the figure of Thyme Orchid came out. Her face was cold and cold, not to say arrogant, but she clearly exuded a temperament that kept strangers away.

Originally, Zheng Fan believed Emperor Qian’s joke, thinking that she was a widow, and Emperor Qian had Cao Cao’s hobbies.

But after learning that the other party’s surname was Baili, he naturally gave up this idea.

"His Majesty's decree is to allow Envoy Yan to leave the city."

Thyme Lan's eyes looked at Zu Dongling.

Zu Dongling's complexion changed several times, because what he was facing now was not only the oppression from the imperial power. In fact, when the Yan army appeared outside Shangjing City, the imperial power was so sacred that The foundation of the invasion has actually been shaken.

But Thyme Lan is a master of swordsmanship. Even if there is no imperial power behind her, her words are very effective.

Zu Dongling raised his hand, and the soldiers behind him immediately moved out of the way.

Thyme Lan came over, drew out her sword, and continued walking forward.

Zheng Fan, Blind Man and A Ming followed her.

Zu Dongling’s soldiers and horses continued to stay where they were.

First the assassin, then the person who was supposed to rescue him wanted to kill him, and then the person who originally said he was going to kill him tomorrow came to save him.

Things in the world are really interesting.

But what Zheng Fan urgently wants now is to leave this city. He really doesn't like this feeling of being out of his control, very, very much.

Thyme orchid sent Buddha to the west, and sent Zheng Fan and the others to the tower, where the city guards had prepared the baskets.

Zheng Fan handed over Thyme Orchid and said:

"Thank you, girl, for saving me. I was offended by some misunderstandings in the palace earlier, so please forgive me."

It is actually not shameful at all to bow down to a woman, especially bowing down to a beautiful woman, which is more reasonable. In addition, if this beautiful woman is very powerful, she will not kneel down and lick her. Already very reserved.

Zheng Shoubei is a person who pays attention to "following the heart". There are some misunderstandings, and it is best to solve them if they can be solved. After seeing the strength of those truly strong people, Zheng Fan understands that thousands of troops and thousands of horses can crush them, but they want to be in chaosIf you take a moment to assassinate yourself, you will definitely feel uncomfortable.

Thyme Lan still had a calm expression on her face and said:

"I'll wait for you tomorrow."

This still means killing herself.

Zheng Fan sighed and said:

"Girl, I feel a little unwell tonight. I guess I am infected with the cold. I may not be able to leave the camp tomorrow."

Thyme Lan looked at Zheng Fan with some confusion.

Perhaps she really didn’t expect that.

A dignified general of the Yan people, an envoy of a country, and had repeatedly fought on the battlefields of Yan and Qian. A man who has made great achievements in war can actually be so shameless.

However, what Zheng Shoubei didn't know was that the reason why people wanted to kill him was not because of the evil in his eyes before, but because of the swordsman named Yuan Zhenxing.

"General Zheng, there will always be a chance." Thyme Lan said, and that was all she could say.

Even if her brother is here, he will not do anything to break into the Yan army camp alone with one sword.

There is another difference between swordsmen and pure martial arts, that is, swordsmen are better at catching and killing, rather than fighting against thousands of enemies.

Yuan Zhenxing was shot to death by a hail of arrows during the day, which illustrates this point well. If he had a pure warrior physique like Shatuo Queshi, how many rounds of bathing in the rain of arrows might be a problem. None are too big.

Zheng Fan smiled, turned around and walked into the basket, and the basket was put down.

The three of them got on the horses that had been tied under the city wall before, and then galloped home without hesitation.

While riding the horse,

Zheng Fan shouted in his heart:

"Blind man, we will never do this kind of thing again in the future."

My life is precious, and I haven’t had enough fun yet.

The blind man seemed much calmer and said:

"Lord, take your time."

Slowly growing up, we can also say that we are a thousand pieces of gold. My son will not sit in the hall!

But soon, Zheng Fan thought about what Emperor Qian said, "No one soldier is allowed to go south." In fact, ever since Emperor Qian said those words, Zheng Fan's heart has been heavy of.

Although everyone has been teasing Dayan to use all his strength to kill the wolf, will the big guy still have fun in the future?

But after all, he has lived in the Yan Kingdom for so long. From Zheng Fan's perspective, both Xiao Liuzi and Jingnan Marquis Zhenbei Marquis treat him very well.

The Yan Kingdom can be defeated, but it should be the decline of prosperity, or the collapse of prosperity. But now, if it has just begun and is about to end, it would be too sad.

The most important thing is that the knights of Cuiliu Castle under his command have already suffered a lot. Zheng Fan is still waiting for the battle to be won so that he can change to a small town and become a city guard to farm and develop with peace of mind. , don’t end up running around like a headless fly.

Look back and look at the towering Shangjing City Wall behind you.Zheng Fan already had a hidden worry in his heart.

Can the Yan people overcome this obstacle?

Can the Yan people overcome it?

…………

The greenhouse is also called the "Michun Pavilion", which means that the four seasons are like spring.

On weekdays, apart from being busy with government affairs, Zhao Guan's family likes to stay here, especially when winter comes.

Of course, Searchun Pavilion will no longer be called a greenhouse in summer. It will be filled with ice cubes. Even in hot summer, it will be cool here.

The name of Michun Pavilion is actually not very pleasant. It is too similar to the name of the flower shop in Shangjing City, such as Xunhuanlou Changchun Garden Yunyun;

But the Zhao Guan family likes it This name, and insisted on taking this name.

The Zhao Guan family ordered the construction of this garden when they first came to the throne. They encountered opposition from many courtiers. At that time, Yao Zizhan, a great writer in the Qian Kingdom, had just entered the official position. His father once wrote an article to borrow the space for the palace to be built by the previous dynasty. The expense of people and material resources leading to the subjugation of the country is used to satirize the Michun Pavilion currently being built by the officials.

In this regard, the Zhao Guan family still went their own way and did not have any attack on Yao Zizhan's father. This made the Yao family's reputation unparalleled for a while and paved the way for Yao Zizhan's literary fame.

At present, in the Searchun Pavilion, Emperor Qian was lying on an armchair, holding a bunch of grapes in his hand and putting them into his mouth one by one.

Below it, a middle-aged man knelt.

The middle-aged man’s surname is Luo. He has a fierce reputation outside the country. He is even rumored among the people in Yu Qian to be a monster with eight arms that eats a child at every meal. He is the Grand Governor of the Silver Armor Guard. Controls the operation of Da Gan, a secret service agency.

At the same time, he also has another identity, that is, his mother was once the wet nurse of Emperor Qian. He and Emperor Qian were considered nanny brothers.

"Your Majesty, the assassins were assassins from Chu State hidden in Shangjing City."

Luo Mingda knelt down and said tremblingly.

"I remember that the Silver Armored Guards monitored the Chu spies in the capital."

"In response to your majesty, because the Yan army appeared outside the city, we went to the capital today. There was a lot of panic inside, and the people under my command suddenly lost sight of it, so..."

"I don't like to hear reasons."

"I am guilty!"

Qianhuang spit out grape seeds. The whole thing was actually very clear. The people who attacked the Yan envoy were Chu people, and they were also playing a trick to fan the flames.

Because it is only a matter of time before the Emperor of Chu dies, and the princes are already at war with each other, the Chu State urgently hopes that the three external countries can become one pot of porridge, so that they can prepare for power next. Alternating matters and turmoil.

However, what Zheng Fan said before leaving came to Qianhuang's mind. He said that he would not fight. He also said that things would not be so beautiful. He would go according to what he said. develop.

On the surface, this incident was due to the monitoring error of the Silver Armor Guards, which allowed these Chu spies to take action, but from another sourceOn the one hand, it also means that as the Yan people went south, a certain order in the court that had been running smoothly was broken.

Qianhuang could even conclude that someone under the Silver Armor Guard had seen that the Yan people had already reached Shangjing, and began to have other thoughts, and might even start a secret conspiracy with the Chu State.

As for the powerful people who have a relationship with the Yanren Secret Service, there will only be more.

This feeling made Qianhuang dislike it very much. As an emperor, what he hated most was that some people and things under his throne were beginning to show signs of losing control.

"Brother Nai."

"Your Majesty!"

Faced with this title that he had not heard again for countless years, Luo Mingda was extremely frightened.

"Brother Nai, there are really not many people I can trust right now."

"Your Majesty!"

"The Yan people can't be beaten. However, the Silver Armored Guards have become less and less effective in recent years. It’s time to clean up.”

“Go on, I understand!” Go ahead and do your work."

"I'm leaving."

Luo Mingda walked out of the greenhouse and saw Thyme Orchid outside.

“Miss Xianglan.” Luo Mingda saluted Thyme Lan.

Thyme Lan nodded and stepped aside.

Luo Mingda left, and Thyme Lan opened the door and walked in.

"Your Majesty, the Yan envoy has left the city."

"Oh, that Yan man named Zheng is quite interesting."

"Zu Dongling ..."

"Zu Dongling doesn't need to worry about him. The second son of the Zu family seems to be rough, but he is actually very thoughtful. What he did is considered decisive. That boy must have been captured by the Yan people. This is the only way Zu Dongling can express his family's attitude to me.

It's a pity that those Chu assassins failed to kill him. The envoy of Yan was killed. I originally wanted to take this opportunity to give the Chu State some peace of mind so that they could fight for the throne with peace of mind."

"Your Majesty, you should have let me take action. . ”

“No, for some things, you can just go with the flow, but if you are too deliberate, it will inevitably not be noticed by others. If the Yan envoy is dead, the Yan general opposite is a madman and will definitely raise his hand. Butcher's knife, these debts must not be on my head. After all, I love the people like a son, don't I?"

Having said that,

Qian Huang said again:

"Tomorrow, you don't have to leave the city, just stay with me. If the Yan people attack the city tomorrow, I have to go to the city wall."

"It's too dangerous, Your Majesty. ."

"So you have to protect me, I don't want to die in confusion."

Qianhuang reached out and picked up three letters from the desk in front of him. Zhezi.

This is the confession of three Xianggong, namely Xianggong Han, Xianggong Fu and Xianggong Sima.

"Xiangong Han will keep it first, and Mr. Fu and Mr.I agreed to Ma Xianggong's request for forgiveness, and took this opportunity to move a few of those stinky rocks, so that everything I do in the future will be much smoother. "

"Your Majesty, you should not say these words to me. "

"It's okay to talk. The emperor is a loner. Sometimes he can't find anyone to talk to. ”

Thyme Lan nodded and didn’t ask why she was not a human being?

She knew,

she was a sword.

.........

After returning to the military camp, Zheng Fan went directly to see Li Fusheng. Although the name of the Yan envoy was unjust and his starting point was temporary, the first thing he did when he came back was to report to the general. It is also necessary.

Li Fusheng was sitting in his tent, and the wound on his shoulder had been treated and bandaged. When Zheng Fan came in, Li Fusheng was gnawing on a pig's trotter in one hand, and there was still something in the pot. There are a lot of pig's trotters being stewed, and the meat is fragrant.

Nowadays, mutton is more expensive than pork, but because Beifeng County is adjacent to the desert, mutton is cheaper than pork. It is really a bit expensive to eat a meal of pork. It’s not easy.

Seeing Zheng Fan come back, Li Fusheng smiled, pointed at the big iron pot in front of him, and said:

“Talking while eating. "

Zheng Fan didn't go fishing for the pig's trotters. He had already eaten at Qianhuang's place for a long time. Furthermore, what he was going to say next was hard to make people want to eat it.

Sure enough, after Zheng Fan told what he had said to Emperor Qian and what he had seen and heard along the way, Li Fusheng stopped taking another bite of the pig's trotters for a long time.

"Sir, what should we do now? ”

If the three sides of Qian State cannot hold on, then Yan State’s strategic purpose this time will not be achieved. No matter how you gallop around in the northern counties of Qian State, it will still be an enclave. Firstly, it is impossible to carry out effective defense, and secondly, there is no way to supplement the Yan Kingdom.

The most important thing is that Wang Ting and the Jin Kingdom should have taken action by now.

If the army withdraws again, this battle will really be in vain. According to Emperor Qian, he came here specifically to help Qian Guo scrape his bones and cure his poison.

Li Fusheng gritted his teeth and subconsciously wanted to throw away the half-eaten and already cold pig's trotters, but he only shook his wrist and his fingers were still holding on to the pig's trotters.

Take it back,

open your mouth,

continue chewing

slowly chewing one, then another, he eats. He was very attentive, not sparing any bit of meat, and would even chew the bones a few times in his mouth.

Li Fusheng ate the whole pot of pig's trotters by himself, and even picked up the bowl. He started to drink soup, one bowl after another.

Zheng Fan sat beside him silently, saying nothing.

Finally,

Li Fusheng finished eating. , he breathed a sigh of relief,

It seemed that it was because he was full, the feeling of full happiness diluted the gloom on his face.

“It’s going to rain and my mother is going to get married. Although Lord Marquis often admonishes us to take a long-term view of things in the future, I have always ignored it.

As a warrior, he only needs to know how to kill and win battles. He should do his duty and leave the rest to him.

Actually, Li Bao is about the same as me. He is also a brainless person. Guy."

Li Fusheng looked at Zheng Fan and said:

"Just tell me what you said before."

Zheng. Fan immediately responded: "I understand the humble position."

Li Fusheng stood up and walked out of the tent, and Zheng Fan also stood up and walked out.

Today, the moon and stars are sparse.

Li Fusheng habitually put his hands in his armor, like an old farmer, hunched his back slightly, looked at Shangjing City in front of him, and said with emotion:

" I heard that Jiangnan is even more prosperous for the people of Qian State."

"Eighty percent of the taxes of Qian State come from Jiangnan."

Li Fusheng sniffed, then cleared his throat, spit at his feet, and said: "Zheng Shoubei, what do you think of this capital city?"

"Sir, this mission is at night, and Ganren didn't let me see much."

"Just talk about feelings, just talk about feelings."

“It’s very big, and it should be very lively.”

“Yes, this is the real big city. Our pictures of the city include Nanwang City and the city in front of us. Compared with Shangjing City, it is just a little thumb.

Such a big city, such a beautiful city.

It is so fair and tender in my eyes. It's even rarer than the white-faced steamed buns."

At this point, Li Fusheng turned to look at Zheng Fan and asked:

"Does Zheng Shoubei have an heir?"

"No."

"Oh."

Li Fusheng's body shook slightly,

said:

But to be honest, living like this is not a good life, but we Northerners don’t think there is anything wrong with living like this.”

Zheng Fan doesn’t think so. I knew why Li Fusheng said this, but I still listened quietly.

As a time traveler, I only have a little sense of belonging to the Yan Kingdom. After learning about Emperor Qian’s order, I felt a little heavy and depressed. Let alone Li Fusheng, a standard Yan army. Zhongsujiang.

"The official Zhao family is right. The country of Qian is vast and rich in resources, and I, Dayan, are indeed a bit bitter and cold, but let me speak from my heart;

JustSo what if things are really as Zhao Guanjia said?

Since the founding of the country, Dayan Erlang has lived a life of war in the south and north. In these years, my life has been a little more comfortable, but the bloody spirit in my bones has not been lost.

When Wang Ting comes, just fight back. After all, they have been beating them for hundreds of years, so they are used to beating them;

When Jin comes, just fight them back. If it really doesn't work, just clean up one first and then the other. Even if Qian Guo still wants to take a handful of chestnuts from the fire, come on, do it!

It doesn’t matter if the Zhenbei Army and the Jingnan Army are all wiped out at worst, but I also want to see it. I want to wipe out all the Yan’s northern and southern armies. His barbarians, his Jin people, and his How long will it take for Gan Ren to be buried with him! "

"Huh..."

Speaking of this, Li Fusheng breathed a long sigh of relief,

pointed to the front Going to the capital,

said:

“The women in Beifeng County are fierce, and there are really not a few who can ride a horse and hold a bow. In the early years, when I was young, I was still I am a young man, my body has not yet grown up, and my kung fu has not been practiced yet;

But sometimes when I look at those handsome wives on the street, I can’t help but go up and touch their crotches. It's fun to take a shot, even if you are immediately hung up and whipped, it doesn't matter.

Right now, such a handsome city is placed in front of me.

I feel really unhappy if I don’t go up and take a picture.

You straight motherfucker, don’t worry about your mother’s situation. After that, I’ll be happy first and then talk about it.

Tomorrow,

I will attack the city! ”
