The devil is coming

Chapter 436 The Marquis sends troops
Before today, A Ming really didn't expect that his promotion would actually occur in this mode;
After promotion,
A Ming wants to do two things most:
One thing is to go to Fan's wine cellar and drink one of the three bottles of wine that is said to be Fan Zhengwen's favorite;
Why only drink one pot?
Because A Ming had already drank the two pots before.
The second thing,
I just really want to see Xue San say hello to him.
people,
Oh no,
Even if he is a vampire,
It is difficult to get rid of vulgar taste forever, especially when you encounter happy things, you always hope to have a sincere friend by your side to share with him.
Siniang obeyed unconditionally any decision made by the Lord, so she just nodded with a smile.
"I'll go talk to Fan Zhengwen."
If I want to accomplish anything in Chu State, I cannot do without the help of the Fan family. When I change the songbook, I must let the Fan family know in advance. This is the basis for cooperation.
However, Siniang was a little worried and said, "Fan Zhengwen, will you agree?"
I am from Yan, so I wanted to go back, but the Fan family is in Xiamong, with so many people inside and outside. Not to mention that it is unrealistic to move the whole family. Even if I really want to leave, it will be difficult not to alarm outsiders. .
If the princess is captured and sent back, the risk factor suddenly soars, and the possibility of the Fan family facing annihilation also soars.
"I don't know why, but I think Fan Zhengwen will agree." Zheng Fan said.
Because Fan Zhengwen gave himself a very special feeling from the beginning. The helmsman of the Fan family possessed all the qualities of a hero.
"Actually, my lord, there is a more reliable method here in the slave family."
Zheng Fan looked at Siniang and said, "Tell me."
"Then the Nu family will disguise themselves as Xiong Liqing and go back."
Zheng Fan shook his head without hesitation, "No."
Then,
Uncle Zheng reached out and lifted up a strand of Siniang's hair and said:
"To be honest, even if the Chu Princess rebels immediately after being released, I will be mentally prepared. At worst, we will gain nothing from our trip to Chu, and we will just treat it as a winter tour to see the scenery.
If you stay here, I'll be heartbroken to death. "
Zheng Fan could trust Siniang's level of disguise skills, but the disguise skills could only deceive the opponent in a short period of time and have some miraculous effects, but the long-term potential risk would be very high.
Besides, there must be many experts around the princess, and the disguise technique may not be hidden from them at all.
Uncle Zheng is not willing to let Siniang take this risk.
"Yes, I understand." Siniang smiled sweetly.
"Okay, you go down and help the princess get ready. She has already guessed that this is the Fan Mansion. Send her some fine food."
"This girl is actually quite smart. If you train her well, she might be able to help you in the future."
Regarding the matter of training the princess, Si Niang has long been impatient. The princess could not stay last time, but she regretted it for a long time.
Uncle Zheng found it difficult to understand this point of interest, so he decided to talk to Fan Zhengwen, who he could communicate with.
Walking out of Qingfangzhai, we came to the main garden of Fan Mansion. Just as we were about to go in, we suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind. We turned around and looked back and saw that it was a young man holding a sword.
The young man was wearing a green cotton robe with a red sash, and there was a heroic spirit escaping between his brows.
Just by looking at him, Zheng Fan could guess who this young man was. Because he looked so much like Fan Zhengwen, there would be no need for a paternity test in future generations.
"who are you?"
Fan Shaoliang frowned and looked at Zheng Fan.
Zheng Fan lowered his head and took a look. In terms of seniority, people often have different opinions. Although Min is Xiao Liuzi's aunt, Zheng Fan and Fan Zhengwen still know each other as equals.
Therefore, Fan Shaoliang should call himself uncle.
When you meet a junior, you have to find a greeting gift, but because I went to meet the princess before, I took a bath and changed my clothes, so I didn't wear anything like a jade pendant.
"Let's wait until next time for the meeting ceremony, my dear nephew."
When Fan Shaoliang heard this, he didn't get angry because he knew that this was his father's main garden and it was the most heavily guarded. If someone hadn't been allowed by his father, it would have been impossible for him to show up here so arrogantly.
"uncle?"
It's just that in Fan Shaoliang's eyes, the Zheng Fan in front of him is older than him, but he shouldn't be much older, because Uncle Zheng looks like he can no longer be called a young man, but he is still young.
"Shaoliang, call me uncle."
An old man's voice came from behind. It was Weng Zanghai, the first counselor beside Fan Zhengwen.
"Mr. Weng."
immediately,
Fan Shaoliang raised his sword to Zheng Fan and said:
"Hello, uncle."
"Ah."
Zheng Fan smiled.
Weng Zanghai waved his hand and said, "Let's go in and talk."
The main garden is actually not very big, but its layout is square, with a large frame surrounding a small frame, and a small frame surrounding a large frame.
Entering through the pavilion, you arrive at a pavilion in the center.
Fan Zhengwen and his wife Min had just come downstairs, and when they saw Zheng Fan, Fan Zhengwen smiled and said: "But what a coincidence, I just learned that Quan Zi is back, and I was planning to take him to salute my uncle later, and this happened.
Come, Shaoliang, this is Uncle Hirano whom you admire most. "
"Uncle Hirano?" After hearing this title, Fan Shaoliang's eyes immediately lit up, and he even exclaimed in disbelief: "Is it really Uncle Hirano?"
At this time, Fan Shaoliang looked like a star-chasing boy to Uncle Zheng.
It seems ridiculous that a young man from the Chu Kingdom would worship a young general from the Yan Kingdom;
But if you look closely, you can understand it.
Since Fan Zhengwen dared to introduce it like this in front of his son, it was obvious that the eldest son of the Fan family knew many secrets, including his mother's true identity.
On one side, there are the royal relatives of the Yan Kingdom;
On one side, there are generations of servants of the Qu family, a powerful family in Chu;
For this young man who has had no worries about food and clothing since he was born, and has more thoughts on pursuing "spiritual identity", it is really easy to guess which side his emotional tendencies will fall towards.
"Brother Fan, your master is truly a talented person."
Praising someone's son is a basic social etiquette.
Uncle Zheng saw that Fan Shaoliang was so enthusiastic about him, so he added another sentence:
"In two years, you can follow me and make achievements on the battlefield."
Hearing this, Fan Zhengwen said directly to his son: "Kneel down and kowtow to my uncle. Do you hear me? My uncle accepts you."
"..." Zheng Fan.
"Fan Shaoliang, thank you for taking me here, I am willing to die for you!"
For a young man, meeting his idol and being able to directly join his idol's team is truly something that can make him laugh out of his dreams.
But Uncle Zheng is not that simple, because this scene clearly means that he is trying to climb up with a stick.
"Shaoliang, take your mother down first. My father and uncle have something to say."
"Yes, father, uncle, general... no, villain... no, I, I'll take my leave first."
The young man's steps were a little dizzy, his head was a little tipsy, and with an uncontrollable smile on his lips, he held his mother's hand and walked out of the attic.
"Uncle, please."
Fan Zhengwen invited Zheng Fan to go up to the second floor. Weng Zanghai stroked his beard and chuckled, but did not follow him. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the ground floor, took out a book, and read it with relish, like an outsider.
There is an elegant room on the second floor. Fan Zhengwen invited Zheng Fan to take a seat, and he began to make tea. It can be seen that Fan Zhengwen is very proficient in tea ceremony.
Zheng Fan didn't say anything, just sat there and waited.
Finally, tea was brought to him.
Fan Zhengwen also said: "Uncle, there is something that I don't know whether to say or not."
If one of his subordinates dared to say such words to him, Uncle Zheng would have kicked him away.
But since I am planning to deceive the whole family,
Naturally, his attitude has become much gentler.
After eating other people's food, sleeping with other people's food, and looking at other people's girls, he ended up cheating on others. No matter how thick-skinned Uncle Zheng was, he felt a little embarrassed.
"Brother Fan can speak out."
"Uncle, Fan thinks that the princess has been caught now, but too quietly. Therefore, Fan thinks that if the uncle wants to do what we imagined together at the beginning, he will make her famous." Raise it up completely, now you can..."
"Can what?"
"The princess can be released."
"Let go? How is this possible!" Zheng Fanyi said righteously.
"Let him go, we can catch him again."
Zheng Fan stood up and said to Fan Zhengwen: "Wouldn't that put Brother Fan and the Fan family in a more dangerous situation?
No, no, absolutely no,
this kind of thing,
I, Zheng Fan, can’t do it! "
"Uncle, uncle..."
"Since I entered Chu, Brother Fan has treated me like a brother, and I regard Brother Fan as my brother. How could I, Zheng Fan, do such a thing as a beast?"
Fan Zhengwen took a deep breath and said, "Uncle, please listen to me slowly."
"No, needless to say, absolutely not."
"Hey, hey, uncle, sit down, sit down, sit down, calm down and don't be impatient, uncle should know that we have captured this princess and brought her back this time. She is real, but she will definitely become Fake.
So, let her go, and wait until the wedding day, and then we can catch her back according to the original plan. "
"The Qu family and the royal family will definitely be more vigilant. If we want to rob people again according to the original plan, the difficulty will be several times higher than initially thought."
"Then we can pay several times the price. I, the Fan family, can mobilize all our strength and do whatever it takes to help my uncle get the princess back and help him become famous all over the world."
"All power?"
"Yes."
"What about the Fan family?"
"As long as my uncle can fulfill his long-cherished wish, the Fan family doesn't need it anymore."
If the Fan family fully mobilizes and no longer has any cover, the power it will burst out will be terrifying. After all, money can make the world go round.
"Then Brother Fan, you..."
"Uncle, Fan doesn't want to die yet. As for Fan's family, my wife will die after New Year's Eve."
"Dead?"
"Of course it's not a real death, it's a fake death. Shaoliang will observe filial piety for his mother and never go out again.
But when the time comes, there will be a substitute for Shaoliang in the mansion, and Shaoliang and his wife will take the first step after the new year, crossing Mengshan Mountain and entering Jin Dynasty, so that they can go to a safe place first. "
His wife and children were sent away first, so Fan Zhengwen had no worries.
As for the fate of the other Fan family members when there were so many people in the Fan family, Zheng Fan did not ask, because Fan Zhengwen had already given the answer.
He is willing to gamble and sacrifice the entire Fan family, it doesn't matter to him.
He is obviously a rich man with extremely rich assets, but as soon as he gets on the card table, he just starts playing.
"By the way, there is one more thing Fan wants to tell Uncle. That is that General Li Mu of Congzhou who was originally transferred yesterday has led his army back this morning. Qu's Qingluan Army has also been transferred back. , and now outside Xiayong County, they are still searching for the princess’s troops, which may only number more than 1 people.”
"What happened?" Zheng Fan asked in surprise.
"The Marquis of Jingnan suddenly sent out troops after luring the snake out of the cave, and defeated Xue Rang's army on the outskirts of Zhennanguan. At the same time, the Jingnan army in Jin showed signs of full mobilization, and seemed to be planning to gather troops and prepare to storm Zhennanguan.
Zhennanguan was in a critical situation, and all the soldiers and horses in the Chu Kingdom naturally needed to continue to mobilize troops to further strengthen their defenses, because Da Chu was facing Jingnan Hou Tian Wujing. "
Mr. Hou,
Want to attack the city?
Zheng Fan believed that the Marquis did not really want to attack the city. Most of this was done to show the Chu people and put more pressure on the Chu people.
There must be many people among the Chu people who thought that the Yan army would not attack the city, but who said that the leader was Tian Wujing? Who said that once the Yan State cavalry was defeated at Zhennang Pass, they would be able to defeat the victorious Jingnan Hou led the troops to march straight in?
Chu people didn't dare to gamble, so facing this situation, they had to start to mobilize their strength to deal with it.
Compared with the safety of the entire Da Chu, the importance of a missing princess has naturally weakened a lot.
At the same time, after Jingnan Marquis made this move, it has indeed relieved a lot of pressure on Zheng Fan. If the Marquis can continue to make a few more noises, he will even put the princess back and get married. Continue (because the royal family is more urgent to reach a marriage with the Qu family at this time), but under the pressure of external soldiers and cavalry, the wedding must be carried out in a hurry, and it will definitely not be stable. Invisibly, Zheng Fan once again created the opportunity to rob the princess again. Out of good conditions.
This is just like the time when he led his troops deep into the city and unexpectedly attacked the Snow Customs, creating an excellent opportunity for Marquis Jingnan by the Wangjiang River to have a decisive battle with the main force of the barbarians;
Marquis Jingnan definitely doesn’t know what he is doing now or what he is planning to do.
But this does not prevent Jingnanhou from helping him.
Zheng Fan leaned back on the chair,
reach out,
Covering his face,
immediately,
Take a deep breath, with a slightly moist nasal voice,
Move your hands away,
The eye sockets are already slightly red:
"Brother Fan, I, Zheng Fan, am a greedy person, but I, Zheng Fan, am definitely not the kind of person who would push my brothers and close friends into the fire for my own selfishness!"
Fan Zhengwen took two steps back.
He bowed deeply to Zheng Fan,
Sincerely said:
"Uncle, this is Fan's wish. A large family is like a grassland. The fire cannot burn it out, but it will grow again in the coming years.
Fan has said before that I am overstuffed, but how many people in this world will never wait for such an overstuffed opportunity to go to the gambling table.
Fan is willing to bet and hopes that his uncle will make it happen! ! ! "
said,
Fan Zhengwen knelt down to Zheng Fan.
Zheng Fan immediately stood up, took Fan Zhengwen's hands by force, and sniffed.
Let out a long sigh:
"Brother Fan, why bother forcing me like this?"
"If uncle doesn't agree, Fan will never be able to kneel down from now on. I beg uncle to be kind and give my Fan family a chance to take off the hat of being a slave for hundreds of years!"
Zheng Fan trembled and gritted his teeth.
Silently take two steps back,
Sitting back on the chair in a daze,
He said in a trembling cry voice:
“That’s it, that’s all;
At once,
Just follow what Brother Fan said. "
----
Don't wait tonight. I'll probably sleep until early in the morning and code.
