Although Chen Daxia's swordsmanship is not as advanced as that of the Sword Master, it can still be regarded as a master.
So, since Chen Daxia said that the sword maker is here, then it must be the sword maker.
Uncle Zheng was getting up to leave when two men walked up from the second floor.
The leader is wearing a white robe lined with a jacket, which is really a noble and noble gesture;
Without him, in this era, anyone who dares to go out wearing nothing is basically not rich. It’s expensive;
Because poor people don’t like to wear white clothes for fear of getting dirty and spoiling things.
Behind the man in robe, followed a man with long flowing hair, a handsome face, and his image, with a romantic and uninhibited atmosphere that Chu people love.
Instinctively, Uncle Zheng noticed that people were coming.
If you leave now, you will easily attract attention.
And Chen Daxia finally seemed to understand that he had misunderstood the meaning and seemed to have made mistakes.
Chen Daxia feels that he cannot blame himself for this matter, because when he met Zheng Fan several times before, he was clearly arranged by Zheng Fan and the blind man;
So, he is an honest person. When Mr. Chen met Mr. Zheng this time, he simply decided not to think too hard.
Anyway, they can calculate it clearly and arrange it properly.
But this time, it seems not.
Zheng Fan's first impression was that the man in white robe was the sword maker, because he was walking in front, and the man behind was obviously half a body behind, which represented a kind of respect.
How should I put it?
When Uncle Zheng himself walked with Lord Jingnan, he also had the same posture as the person behind him.
However,
When Mr. Chen held his sword, stood up, looked at the man behind him, clasped his fists and said, "I've seen you, sir", Uncle Zheng realized that it turned out that That long-haired man was the sword-maker of Chu, one of the four great swordsmen.
For a moment,
Uncle Zheng’s heart suddenly skipped a beat. There were very few people who could make the Four Great Swordsmen sit behind them.
Li Liangshen of the Yan State would take a step back when the Emperor of Yan and the two princes of the north and south were present. The Baili Sword of the Qian State would only give face to the official family of the Qian State. The swordsman of the Jin State, now It seems that no one is too lazy to give face, even if he goes out with him, the two brothers are side by side;
Chu State...I think only that one can let the sword maker be content to stay behind, because the sword maker left aside In addition to his status as one of the Four Great Swordsmen, the Dugu clan he belongs to is itself a great nobleman of the Chu State alongside the Qu clan, which was at its peak in the past.
It can be said that even if he is not a sword-maker, he does not need to give too many people face in the Chu Kingdom just because of his family background. Coupled with his status as one of the four great swordsmen, it is even more serious.
It is said that this sword maker has a too free and easy personality. Earlier, the sword maker was cheering for the eldest prince of Chu, and then he inexplicably ran to cheer for the third prince. In the end, he was fine again. underground stationBehind the fourth prince, the regent.
No one knows whether he has already reached some kind of tacit understanding with the fourth prince in private, because there is no need to delve into this matter. After all, no matter which prince comes to power, he needs to win over him. He is completely You can play as much as you want.
Unlike Chen Daxia, a tough guy who would first bypass the "main seat" to greet the sword maker at the back when they met, Uncle Zheng stood up and saluted the white-robed man first.
The ceremony uses dry ceremony.
Uncle Zheng is a person who pursues details very much, so it is impossible for him to make mistakes in this kind of thing.
The man in white robe smiled slightly, very reservedly;
Immediately, without saying hello, he took his seat, followed closely by the sword maker.
A square table can seat exactly four people.
The man in white robe pointed at Chen Daxia and said to the sword maker: "Is this Chen Daxia?"
Chen Daxia nodded and said: "It's me."
The sword maker seemed to have heard about Chen Daxia’s temperament a long time ago, and he was not dissatisfied at all when he confessed. Instead, he smiled and said: "I have heard of the name Chen Daxia when I was in Chu State. Maybe twenty years later , among the new four great swordsmen, when Baili Sword retreats, this Daxia Chen will be able to take over."
Uncle Zheng thinks that this sword maker is really good at talking, no wonder he succeeds. He is the only one among the four great swordsmen who has never made a move and has never had a record. He relied on Yu Huaping's praise to force his way to the top.
Immediately afterwards, the sword maker looked at Zheng Fan again.
This person's eyes are very pure, the kind that is truly pure without any impurities, as if he can see through your heart.
However, Zheng Fan is not worried that his true identity will be discovered, such as his martial arts skills, because the red stone that Xue San got from the meteorite last time became the new home of the magic pill. , and when Zheng Fan put the red "magic pill" on himself, the blind man's mental power could not get close to him at all.
To be on the safe side, Zheng Fan also went to the Sword Master who lived next door to his house and tried it, but got the same result.
In other words, the magic pill with a new shell has the ability to hide the breath that Superman imagined.
This is why Uncle Zheng has the confidence to live in Fan Mansion, and at the same time, he only needs to focus on dealing with the princess in the royal palace.
Those real masters do not need to reach the level of Sword Master. Basically, those who are in the fifth or sixth grade, or even the seventh or eighth grade, as long as they are more sensitive to the breath reaction, they can detect whether you are Lianjiazi.
So, Zheng Fan, who was sitting in his seat at this time, could face the gaze of the builder calmly.
"This, I guess, is Master Yao's apprentice a few years ago, Mr. Su Mingzhe, right?"
As soon as Zheng Fan was about to speak,
Daxia Chen said directly:
"Yes."
Zheng Fan stood up and saluted again:
"In front of the two of you, this junior will notIf you dare to call me sir, just call me Mingzhe. "
The man in white robe smiled and said:
"As expected of Master Yao's favored disciple, his self-cultivation is indeed impressive. ”
One is the sword-maker of Da Chu on the surface,
The other is himself,
Although the regent has not revealed his identity, he Clearly, not just anyone can remain calm in front of him.
Zheng Fan's composure at this time, in the eyes of the regent, was the so-called "everyone's style"
They would not have expected that the person sitting in front of them was Uncle Pingye of Dayan;
He was a man who had faced the Emperor of Yan, the Marquis of Zhenbei, and the Marquis of Jingnan, and had experienced many battles.
This cannot be said to be stupid, but Uncle Zheng himself never thought that he just wanted to treat Chen Daxia to a meal and trick him into giving him the gift. Later, when his bodyguard escorted him home, as he was eating, the regent of Da Chu and the sword maker actually sat on the table.
The small family Zuifenglou,
p>At this moment,
it actually accommodated several giant Buddhas at the same time
Zheng Fan stretched out his hand and pushed the letter that Daxia Chen had taken out on the table. The regent said:
“This is the letter sent by the master to the junior. ”
The regent spread his hands,
The sword maker took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it over, asking the regent to wipe his hands first.
Immediately, the regent carefully opened the envelope and took out the first piece of paper inside. This was a poem. It was written that after Yao Zizhan was appointed as the governor of the three sides of Daqian, he led eight hundred horses out of the city to hunt. The scene at that time;
The upper part of the poem describes the grand scene of soldiers and horses closely following the governor when he went hunting.
The lower part expresses a kind of longing that is still unyielding. The ambition to make great achievements.
The whole poem is grand and heroic.
“Good words, good words. ”
After reading the words, the regent handed the piece of paper to the sword maker on the side.
The sword maker took it, read it, and couldn’t help laughing:
“The words are good, but Master Yao has been a scholar all his life, but he doesn’t know anything about military matters. After all, he is a great writer. He is obviously not good at things, but he can write a kind of passionate and heroic words. "
As soon as he finished speaking, the sword maker seemed to notice that Yao Zizhan's apprentice was also sitting here, and couldn't help but waved his hands and said:
"I made a mistake, I made a mistake, Mingzhe Don't take it personally, young gentleman. ”
With his status as a sword maker, even if he is sitting next to Yao Zizhan, he can still laugh, yell, curse and make jokes as equals.
But in front of his apprentice. Ridiculing Master, how should I deal with being asked to be my apprentice?
However,
Zheng Fan just smiled and nodded, and said calmly:
"My master also said this. My master said that days are days and poems are poems.Poetry, because life is too boring, so poetry is needed to spice up life;
But if you really treat poetry as life, then you are putting the cart before the horse. I have never heard of anyone who just relies on eating. You can survive without eating salt. "
Hearing this, the regent nodded and said: "I have always admired Master Yao's state of mind and unrestrainedness. "
The sword maker said: "This is more like what the old guy would say. "
"The family teacher also said that although the officials asked him to sit in the position of governor of the three sides, what he wanted to do was actually to be a peacemaker, bringing everyone together at the same table to talk. , the master said that he did not know the military, so he did not intend to give advice on military affairs. "
Hearing this, the sword-maker sighed with emotion: "He should still live to understand. "
The regent said: "I have learned a lesson. It is said that when the Yan army entered Shangjing City and attacked Shangjing City, a Yan envoy entered Shangjing City to meet with the officials of your Qian Kingdom;
p>
The envoy said in front of your official that he did not know how to fight;
This made your official very angry,
Immediately issued the order The soldiers and horses from the three sides were not allowed to return for reinforcements;
But in the end, the Yan people were able to hold back the entire Qian Kingdom's soldiers and horses with only more than 60,000 cavalry, so that the Yan people's main force of 300,000 cavalry could Calmly borrowed the road from the state of Qian to enter the Jin Dynasty. "
Zheng Fan immediately said seriously:
"I can only say that the Yan people fought very well in that battle. "
The regent shook his head and said: "It's because you guys cooperated so well. "
As the regent of Da Chu and the actual contemporary "Emperor of Chu", he can speak freely. After all, his status is the same as that of Emperor Yan and Emperor Qianhuang.
p>The sword maker said: "Isn't that envoy the current Uncle Pingye of the Yan people? "
Zheng Fan immediately said: "Yes, my name is Zheng Fan. "
The sword maker couldn't help but gloated: "I guess you officials will also regret it. At that time, you thought you were just a well-spoken envoy, allowing him to enter the city safely and let him out of the city safely;< /p>
Although there has been a rule since Daxia that the two sides do not kill the envoys when fighting, but I think that the man named Zheng should be killed, he still has to be killed, no, he is worthy of being killed.
There is now a Tian Wujing in his country of Yan, who is in his prime;
When the time comes, Tian Wujing is gone, and another Zheng Fan comes out to pick up Tian Wujing. class.
If such a talented general is still in the enemy's country, he should be missing one less if he can. "
The regent also nodded and said: "Zheng Fan is a man of literary and military ability. A person who can write "Zheng Zi's Art of War" will definitely be a Confucian commander in the future.
Given another ten years, he will definitely take over Tian Wujing’s banner and become a serious problem for our Chu and Qian kingdoms.
It’s a pity that these generals are from Yan. It would be great if they were from Chu. ”
Soon,
Brother-in-law,
We will really become a family in a while.
Zheng Fan continued to speak generously: "This statement is wrong. When two countries compete, national strength should be the basis for counterbalance. The power of soldiers and armor can suppress it for a while, but it cannot suppress it for a lifetime.
< p>If we, Daqian and Dachu, organize the people's livelihood and the administration of officials internally, and build armies and prepare for war externally, the Yan State, even if it still occupies the land of the Three Jins at this time, will be able to defeat the two due to the richness of Daqian and the vastness of Dachu. In this case, the juniors do not think that the Yan people have anything to fear, nor do they think that the so-called Tian Wujing and Zheng Fan can change the fate of the three great countries just because of them."The sword maker said unceremoniously: "What you said, young gentleman, is a bit ill-considered. For example, if you think about it, Tian Wujing suddenly raised troops to surround Zhennang Pass a while ago. I, the great Chu, knew that Zhennang Pass was easy to defend. The pass is very difficult to attack. Although they know that the Yan people are not good at attacking the city, they still send more troops to Zhennan Pass. Why?
Isn't it because Tian Wujing is leading the army? < /p>
When on the opposite side, when your enemy has a general who is good at making the impossible possible, the pressure is overwhelming."
Zheng Fan immediately said: "Junior is still the same. If you don’t think so, all laws in the world are complementary to each other, and it is difficult to truly be completely independent. Tian Wujing’s greatness lies in the powerful cavalry of the Jingnan Army under his command. Without this elite, Tian Wujing is nothing more than the best in the world. Master.
As for Zheng Fan, I heard that half of his troops are barbarians, and they are just relying on these actions to establish themselves. Without the support of these elite soldiers, what can he achieve? "
Hearing this, the regent nodded and said: "It makes sense. Wasn't the Yan people also defeated at Wangjiang back then? The strength of the Yan people lies in the northern and southern armies, but not all Yan people. Everyone is good at fighting."
This is the regent's recognition of Zheng Fan's words from his own perspective, because what he is doing now is trying to gather the military power of the nobles and privately use their elites. Bing tried to squeeze it into his own hands, hoping to create a truly elite group army that belonged to Dachu and himself.
Zheng Fan immediately answered:
"Yes, we, Da Qian and the State of Chu, have always had no shortage of talents, generals who can fight, and generals who can unite. What is lacking are elites who can compete with the Yanguo Zhenbei and Jingnan 2nd Army.
However, the junior feels that it is still too late. My official family has been working hard in the past two years to organize and train the new army.
Da Chu is obviously doing the same thing.
When the war between Da Qian and Da Chu takes on a new look in three years, the arrogance of the Yan people in recent years will also disappear. It should be a loss.
Even the younger generation feels that the Yan people today are just relying on a false fire, and the Yan people are actually weak.
p>It is in line with the sentence: its prosperity is rapid, and its demise is sudden."
The regent smiled, picked up the wine glass, and said: "For this sentence. , I feel so embarrassed for the little gentleman."
The four of them raised their glasses and finished.
"Su XiaoSir, it sounds like he is involved in military affairs? ”
“The junior is not talented and does not dare to take the position, but the junior has always been on the family teacher’s staff, and can often read military intelligence reports, and can also help the family teacher to provide advice. "
"Oh, no wonder. ”
Immediately,
The Prince Regent carefully put away the envelope, and it seemed that he was planning to leave. He should have come here to see Yao Zizhan’s new words, but However, I got interested and chatted with Zheng Fan for a while.
Why did he appear here incognito? The answer was already revealed.
As the regent. , as the de facto "emperor" of Da Chu, he could not leave Yingdu with great fanfare to marry his sister when there was a war in Zhennan Pass, but he, the elder brother, came out incognito before his sister got married. It's possible to come over and take another look at the girl.
The most important thing is that his girl just disappeared a while ago. She must have been frightened.
Seeing this, < /p>
Zheng Fan also planned to say goodbye to the scene.
The regent stood in front of him, and there was a Chu sword maker next to him. There must be a group of real Chu swordsmen outside. Being guarded by the country's top experts put great pressure on Uncle Zheng.
Fortunately,
Fortunately, the real Mr. Su Mingzhe had diarrhea in the middle. , no one could come.
However,
just when Zheng Fan was planning to use an excuse to appreciate the magnificent mountains and rivers of Chu,
the regent said,
Uncle Zheng’s heart suddenly fell to the bottom again, and he even felt ridiculous that he was being played by the world:
“Mr. Su Xiao will come with us now. Let's go to Bieyuan. After all, Mr. Yao represents Master Yao. There are disciples of Master Yao attending the wedding banquet. I think it will add a lot of brightness to the wedding banquet.
It’s not far from Bieyuan. If we set out now, we’ll be there in the afternoon. I can just continue to talk about poetry and romance with the young gentleman. ”
“………” Zheng Fan.
