The devil is coming

Chapter 406 Get up
The princess's motorcade arrived faster than expected.
Originally, Xue Customs had dispatched a team to escort them, and they were expected to protect the county master as he camped out for the night.
After all, Emperor Yan did not have a princess, and the princess was equivalent to the most noble woman in the second generation, the real golden child.
But the princess obviously did not camp and stay in the wild. Instead, she arrived outside the Snow Pass late at night.
no way,
Now that people are here,
There must also be regulations and rules.
Uncle Zheng is a refined egoist. He doesn't mind doing some superficial work if it can eliminate some troubles.
Furthermore, the most important point is that the world now knows that he, Prince Pingye, is Marquis Jingnan's favorite general.
But when it comes to Zheng Fan's background, this princess was his first boss.
However, because Uncle Hirano's subsequent performance was so outstanding, the princess has been nailed as a negative example because of this incident.
Because the messenger sent the news before that the princess came in a private car, so Uncle Zheng did not wear official uniforms or armor, just ordinary casual clothes. In addition, it was already cold at night, so Siniang Helped to purchase a cloak.
Soldiers lined up on both sides early, and since it was late at night, the snow customs was relatively quiet, and there were no crowds. The only sound that could be heard was the gurgling sound of wheels approaching.
The carriage stopped in front of Zheng Fan.
Zheng Fan cupped his hands and said:
"Zheng Fan, the commander-in-chief of Snow Customs, sends his regards to the princess."
Kneeling, there is no need to kneel anymore;
After several years of toil and fighting, isn't it that what you want is to have a few less people kneel down?
However, as for the posture, it doesn't matter if it's a little lower.
This is just like the large number of school captains in Beifeng County. Everyone seems to be a school captain, but they can always be divided into three, six or nine according to the number of soldiers and horses under their command and their backgrounds.
According to the princess’s background,
Even Zhao Jiulang, the prime minister and assistant of the dynasty, had to be polite to him.
The carriage curtain was lifted,
Zheng Fan originally thought it would be a maid sticking her head out to deliver a message.
But unexpectedly,
It was Princess Li Qian herself who opened the car curtain generously.
He smiled at Zheng Fan who was standing in front of the carriage and said:
"It's me who's been a troublesome guest. I hope Mr. Pingye won't be upset."
Look,
listen,
How well-informed this is!
It’s not the same tone that I used to ask you coldly why you don’t want to be a servant of my Li family.
In the final analysis, face is earned by one's own ability.
"It's the general's honor for the princess to come to our Snow Customs. Why bother?"
The princess looked past Zheng Fan, looked behind Zheng Fan, and said:
"Uncle Hirano, I have a military situation here. Please come to the house quickly to discuss it."
finished,
The princess put the car curtain back.
Military situation?
Zheng Fan didn't believe it.
If there is indeed a military situation, the soldiers and horses that our own side has sent to guard before have sent people to pass it over in advance. No matter what, riding alone will definitely be much faster than a horse-drawn carriage.
However, this reason directly blocked what Zheng Fan planned to say next, such as preparing a house for the princess to rest.
Zheng Fan glanced at the blind man standing next to him, who sighed and nodded.
Once she comes, she will be at ease.
Zheng Fan also had a smile on his lips and stepped out of the way.
The princess wants to go to her mansion, okay, come on.
This Xue Customs, after all, has the surname Zheng. As a master, Uncle Zheng still has some confidence.
The princess's carriage started to move forward, and Zheng Fan followed. He happened to see an old man holding a sword following the carriage, and the old man was also looking at Zheng Fan.
The carriage goes ahead,
Zheng Fan naturally came together with the old man.
In fact, Uncle Zheng refused. After discovering the old man, Uncle Zheng immediately shifted his attention and planned to stay a little behind, trying to stay as far away from this swordsman who could wield a second-grade sword.
After all, even if the magic pill is with him, he is still a sixth-grade warrior, but at such a close distance, if Uncle Qi wants to kill him, it will be easy.
But you want to hide, but people still insist on coming to you.
Uncle Qi took the initiative to walk up to Zheng Fan, bowed his hands and said:
"Uncle."
"Uncle Qi, why are you doing this? You are really out of touch."
"My uncle's talent in cultivation really puts me to shame. In just three years, he has reached the level of a sixth-grade warrior."
When he first met Zheng Fan, Zheng Fan had just begun to practice the path of a warrior. It had only been three years and he was already at the sixth level.
Some people are actually jade in the rough. They are buried in rocks and do not show at all at first. But once they are dug out and polished a little, they become crystal clear immediately.
I think back then, Uncle Qi even had the idea of ​​accepting Zheng Fan as his disciple, and he was sure that he had expressed this intention. However, at that time, Zheng Fan only wanted to go back and reunite with the demon kings as soon as possible. I have no intention of staying as an apprentice.
Now think about it,
I really made the right choice back then.
This does not refer to the powerful army that he currently controls, but just imagine, if he becomes his disciple and learns martial arts from his uncle Qi, wouldn’t he also have to practice the sword of Lao Shizi for a lifetime?
In Uncle Zheng's opinion, this move can be called "pretend once in a lifetime" sword technique.
There is even a high possibility that accidentally it will become a swordsmanship that "can't be faked even once in a lifetime".
"Uncle Qi is so complimentary."
"Why are you sweating?" Uncle Qi asked.
"The virtual fire must be strong these days."
"My uncle is young and should pay more attention to his health."
"Thank you Uncle Seven."
"I have long heard that Yu Huaping, the Sword Master of Jin, is here with me? I have been obsessed with swords all my life, but I want to meet this sword master. Do you want me to introduce you to him?"
"Yes, the Sword Master did work with me on the Snow Pass to defend against the enemy and deal with the savages together, but after the savages were defeated, the Sword Master went out to wander.
Sometimes he does come back to see me and have a drink with me, but he leaves the next day after drinking. I don’t know whether he is in Xueguan, Xueyuan or Yingdu now. "
"That's a pity."
"Don't worry Uncle Qi, I will introduce him to you next time I see him."
"Thank you, Uncle."
"Uncle Qi, you're welcome."
Not long after,
The princess's carriage drove into Prince Pingye's Mansion, and Zheng Fan immediately made arrangements to prepare for the reception.
Zheng Fan himself sat in the small hall and waited.
Uncle Qi stood opposite and did not sit down to drink tea. He just stood there. He seemed to be used to it.
Uncle Zheng picked up the tea cup and took two sips of water.
To be honest,
With Xiao Liuzi’s previous letter,
When Uncle Zheng faced Uncle Qi, he felt really nervous.
As the saying goes, when a book is put to use, one will regret it less, and the same goes for practicing martial arts.
Without waiting long, the princess came out soon. She was wearing a long black dress, full of oriental elegance.
One thing to say, the princess is indeed very beautiful.
Therefore, Uncle Zheng also somewhat understood why the Savage King was so beastly at the time. It was most likely that the princess had already developed the embryonic form of a beauty at that time.
"Your Highness, military situation?"
The princess did not sit in the front seat in the middle, but sat down opposite Zheng Fan, which was equivalent to the front seat being completely empty.
Hearing Zheng Fan's question, the princess immediately smiled,
Road:
"Uncle, it's true. You know this is a joke, but why are you taking it seriously now?"
"Princess, don't be surprised. The world only knows that you have no joke. In fact, there is no joke in the army. The princess should understand this truth."
After all, you have led soldiers and fought in wars, and you know the serious consequences of making fun of military affairs.
The princess stood up and gave Zheng Fan a slight blessing.
Road:
"Yes, Qian'er knows her crime and asks Uncle Hirano to forgive her."
"Princess Princess, you..."
A smile appeared on the princess's face immediately, she sat back on the chair, looked around and said:
"I'm really curious about what the Hirano Mansion is like. When I saw it today, it really lives up to its reputation."
"Haha, the princess is joking. I just moved into this mansion not long ago. Where did it get its reputation?"
"Why not? Uncle Pingye's Mansion was built in the north of the city, adjacent to the North City Gate. Just as Mr. Pingye said himself, the Zheng family is guarding the gate for the country. This kind of pride is really admirable.
Back in the desert, Qian'er had wanted to take in Uncle Hirano as a servant, but now every time she thinks about it, she feels embarrassed on her face.
We can only blame Qian'er for her poor eyesight and failure to recognize the talented person. Qian'er is here to apologize to Uncle Hirano. "
The sentence on the left is Qian'er and the sentence on the right is Qian'er.
Uncle Zheng felt very upset when he said that.
The princess lowered her voice so low, it was like two people singing in a chorus. Her companion lowered the tone too low, and you had to force yourself to cooperate with her. This was really too difficult.
Zheng Fan stretched out his hand and rubbed his forehead. He did not answer the princess's words, but just smiled helplessly.
Looking at the princess,
Road:
"Your Highness, I, Mr. Zheng, am a rough man and a bastard. Therefore, if we have any questions, it's better to get straight to the point.
If Your Highness the Princess is really just here to enjoy the snow at our Snow Customs, although winter has not yet entered and the heavy snow has not yet arrived, hoarfrost should have appeared in some places deep in the snowfield, and the general can send someone to escort the Princess. to enjoy the snow;
If the princess has anything else to do, you can talk to the general and if it can be done, the general will definitely work hard to do it for the princess. "
"What Uncle Hirano said is true. I came here this time without the ministers and the father-in-law who announced the decree. It was just because something happened recently and I wanted to come out to relax. It seems that it is indeed It makes Mr. Hirano feel troublesome."
Zheng Fan nodded,
Road:
"The Chu people over at Zhennanguan are not very peaceful now. The general is worried about this these days. Please forgive the general for his poor hospitality."
"Of course the military affairs are important. In fact, I really don't have anything to worry about here, Uncle Hirano. I just walk around, look around, and enjoy myself.
It is convenient for you and me. "
"in this way……"
Zheng Fan stood up,
He bowed his hands to the princess and said:
"In this way, after the war subsides, the general will come again to plead guilty to the princess for improper entertainment."
"Uncle Hiranye said something serious. Chu Nu is arrogant and dares to start provocations again. I ask Uncle Hiranye to teach them a lesson."
"The west residence of the mansion has been prepared. Your Highness the Princess is obviously tired from traveling eastward. Please take a good rest."
"Youlao Ping Ye Bo."
Zheng Fan walked out of the small hall.
The princess's people moved into the West House under the arrangement of the Earl's Mansion.
in the room,
The princess sat on a chair,
The three maids began to search up and down, and after confirming that there was no secret passage or secret room, they bowed and left.
There were only two people left in the room, the princess and the seventh uncle.
The princess took off her hairpin and let her long hair fall, and said at the same time:
"Uncle Qi, you can see that our Uncle Hirano is really a little afraid of you."
Uncle Qi smiled.
The princess then said:
"I can't believe that Xiao Liuzi and Zheng Fan have such a good relationship. He obviously communicated with Zheng Fan about what happened that night."
"Yes." Uncle Qi nodded. Obviously, he thought so too.
"That day outside the mansion, Zheng Fan rescued Xiao Liuzi. That should have been their first meeting. Uncle Qi, do you think there is such a strong relationship in this world?"
"It's impossible to say for sure, but His Highness the Sixth Prince told Uncle Hirano about that night, which is enough to prove that the relationship between them is much better than we previously expected."
The princess was really not afraid of what Xiao Liuzi would make of what happened that night. Assassinating the prince must be a serious crime, but the fact that the prince could predict the queen's death in advance was actually even more terrifying.
When both sides have the leverage that can kill the other party, the so-called leverage is actually not that important anymore.
“This Zheng Fan’s wings are hardened after all, and whatever I can give him now, Marquis Jingnan can still give to him. Even if I can’t give him now, Marquis Jingnan can still give it to him.
With Tian Wujing as his backer, he really has the confidence to be on an equal footing with me, a woman who has been away from home for a long time.
Enjoy your own happiness, everyone is free to do what they want.
He agreed so readily that he seemed to be on guard no matter how he looked at it. "
"So, Miss, I think we shouldn't do anything tonight. The situation is about to escalate anyway, so we might as well see which way the wind blows."
"What Uncle Qi said is that right now, there are two things that need to be done. One, I would like to trouble Uncle Qi to visit this mansion more from tonight.
For the other item, I will try the price of Uncle Hirano again tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. "
When talking about business, it is natural to have an in and out.
As for the Zhenbei Army in Jin, let’s not talk about Li Fusheng’s department. The officers and soldiers of the Zhenbei Army where Li Bao’s department was originally located;
Giving it to the court is a gift.
It is also a gift to the Marquis of Jingnan.
It's better for the Li family to set up a stage there. As long as the income is sufficient, it's not a gift to anyone.
Anyway, it’s okay if you don’t want to send them away. After all, these two troops are very different from the one led by Li Liangshen. That is, unless the King of Zhenbei comes forward in person, the soldiers and horses of these two towns will be destined to become farther and farther away from the Palace of Zhenbei.
……
"I have two things to tell you.
The first thing, San'er..."
"My subordinates are here, and they have neglected their duties. Please be punished by the Lord."
"It turned out that the focus was on the workers who helped build the underground cell in Earl's Mansion. As expected, one of them must have leaked the news."
"Yes, I will catch that fly right away."
Espionage work is sometimes so helpless. When you want to develop a desired population, it is often a comfortable period for those spies to be active.
Immediately afterwards, Zheng Fan looked at Siniang again and said:
"Did you bring it out every day?"
"My Lord, it has been arranged in advance, but the coffin of Shatuo Queshi has not been relocated."
"Well, let's just put it there first. Don't let any of us sleep tonight. We'll keep an eye on it until dawn."
"Yes, my lord."
……
It was late at night, and the princess had already washed herself and was sitting by the bed.
Lying down slowly.
And in a coffin under the back house of the Earl's Mansion,
A majestic figure of a man,
Slowly from inside the coffin,
sit up.
----
Today's state is not good enough. I will try to write more tomorrow. Good night everyone.
