The two armies were about to go to war, but Sun Wen came to the door with Jiang Pengji's documents, and everyone couldn't figure out his true intentions for a while.

Before Nie Liang summoned Sun Wen, the scribe Fan Chen entertained Sun Wen, secretly testing his tone and finding out Sun Wen's true purpose.

Fan Chen?

When Sun Wen heard this surname, his heart turned a few corners.

He said, "Seeing the gentleman's outstanding demeanor must be something that ordinary people can't have." Can you dare to guess that Mr. is from the Liyang Fan family?"

Zhongzhao has ten states and thirty-three counties, the territory is vast and rich, Liyang is the county under the rule of Xunzhou, it is a rich land of fish and rice.

Because of the prevalence of private learning, there are many famous and romantic figures in the history of Zhongzhao.

Although the Fan family cannot be compared with the Nie family, it is also one of the best scholars in the edict and has a rich heritage.

Hearing Fan Chen's surname, Sun Wen had the bottom in his heart.

He left Zhongzhao relatively early, and the reputation of Fan Chen at that time had not yet spread out of Xunzhou, so Sun Wen naturally had never heard of this person's deeds.

Fan Chen's eyes were a little surprised, and he immediately smiled, "Mr. is as wise as a torch, and a certain person is indeed from the Liyang Fan family." Listening to Mr. speak, it is a bit like a Bianzhou accent. I heard that Mr. was from his ancestral hometown, but he didn't believe it at that time, but now he believes it. ”

Sun Wen said with a smile, "It is better to say that the old man has bright eyes, but it is better to say that the gentleman has good ears, and he can guess it when he hears it." ”

He has lived in Beizhou (Northern Xinjiang) for many years, and his accent has been influenced by the local area, so he has changed a little, but he didn't expect Fan Chen to be able to hear it.

Fan Chen's hospitality was very thoughtful, and he specially sent Kuzi to cook the local hometown food in Bianzhou, and even the tent where Sun Wen temporarily lived was decorated according to the local style. If it weren't for the tense relationship between the two armies, Sun Wen really wanted to give Fan Chen's service a five-star review, this person is meticulous.

Staying in a familiar environment, people can't help but let their guard down, especially when facing people with a relatively high basic favorability.

Fan Chen and Sun Wen chatted about the old affairs of Zhongzhao, and the two spoke extremely speculatively, no matter what Sun Wen said, Fan Chen could answer two sentences.

It didn't take long for their relationship to take a big step closer.

To outsiders, Sun Wen and Fan Chen are like a pair of like-minded New Year's friends, and they have a good conversation.

Only the parties know in their hearts that they use language as a blade, fighting dozens of back and forth, and are always vigilant against the language traps set by the other party.

If you are not careful, you may be tricked by the other party.

The two laughed, and the voice of a soldier came from outside the tent, and Nie Liang summoned Sun Wen over.

Sun Wen and Fan Chen humbled each other, and the two went out of the military tent side by side.

Outside, the flag with the word "Nie" swayed in the wind, like a piece of vibrant burning clouds.

The three ears are Nie, and the Nie on the banner is written in seal, looking simple and atmospheric. This surname is also above the royal family in the edict, and even illiterate people know what this pattern means. As a native of Bianzhou, Sun Wen naturally knows about the Nie family.

Sun Wen looked at the flag, his eyes were like a bottomless pool, and he said to Fan Chen on the side with a smile.

"Speaking of which, the old decay and the Nie clan still have an indissoluble bond. ”

Fan Chen sighed and listened respectfully.

Sun Wendao, "When I was young, I was stupid and stupid, I was slow to learn anything, and I didn't achieve anything after I was weak." It was only in middle age that he mixed the position of a knife and pen officer. That year, the old man thought that he had some ability, and once recommended himself to the Nie family as a guest ......"

Of course, Fan Chen didn't know about this history, but he wasn't surprised.

Since Sun Wen is from Bianzhou and comes from a poor family, the only way out is to learn to cling to the Nie family and hug his uncle to enjoy the cold.

What made him feel a pity was that Sun Wen was not recruited by the Nie family, but went to Dongqing, which traveled thousands of miles, and served as a staff member for the enemy.

Fan Chen sighed with a little pity and returned without a trace.

Undoubtedly, Sun Wen is a talent, and if he is not a talent, he will not be able to play the northern Xinjiang around, which is an indisputable fact.

Such a talent once recommended himself to the Nie family as a guest secretary, but the Nie family did not recruit him, which has to be said to be a loss.

Fan Chen can't say that Sun Wen is not talented enough, and he can't say that Nie has eyes and no beads, and mistakenly treats pearls as fish.

He could only express his pity from the position of the Nie family, and at the same time affirmed Sun Wen's talent and took care of the faces of both parties.

Fan Chen is very good at talking, and he is very good at speaking.

Sun Wen hooked his lips, his eyes were calm with a bit of coldness, and the smile never reached the bottom of his eyes, giving people the illusion of smiling for no reason.

In fact, Sun Wen was admitted to the door after recommending himself to the Nie family, but he was old, and he didn't have any merits in the first half of his life, so no one looked down on him at all. After Sun Wen took refuge in the Nie family, he was still a knife and pen official with no sense of existence, and there was no hope for his future.

A year later, Sun Wen was disheartened, even if he didn't go to order for ten days and half a month, no one mentioned him.

It didn't take long for the only Sun Lie to offend the descendants of the Nie family at a certain elegant gathering.

The man was so rampant and fierce.

Just because Sun Lie came out on top, he lost his face, and he actually sent someone to break Sun Lie's legs,

That's not all, he actually used his connections to send Sun Lie to the border on trumped-up charges.

Sun Wen's family background is not good, but Sun Lie is also his pampered son, where can he suffer so much, he contracted the wind and cold on the road and died early.

The old wife and daughter-in-law couldn't withstand this blow and died of illness one after another......

A family of five was broken by three at once, leaving only one Sun Wen and his young grandson to rely on each other.

Sun Wen was worried that the Nie clan would continue to persecute him, so he had to leave Zhongzhao with his grandson Lan Lan, begging along the road, and wandering.

Who would have thought that Sun Wen, who was like a lost family dog a few years ago, is now being treated favorably by the Nie family as an envoy?

His gaze fell on the handsome flag outside the handsome tent, and his slightly dry eyes were a little cold.

"Messenger, please. ”

Sun Wen was distracted, and when he heard Fan Chen's words in his ears, he came back to his senses, and he smiled and put his head into the account.

Nie Liang sat on the main seat, even if the light in the tent was not too bright, Sun Wen could see that the other party was a man with excellent manners.

This person is majestic, but in Sun Wen's view, Nie Liang is more like a scribe who recites poetry and talks and laughs with others than a butcher or overlord who chases the world and drinks blood. After a hurried glance, Sun Wen withdrew his gaze, saluted, and identified himself without humility or arrogance.

The two were separated by two feet, and the atmosphere of the occasion was not right, and Sun Wen couldn't get close and look at Nie Liang's appearance with a big grin.

"Contemptible Sun Wen, I have come to inquire about this matter on the orders of my lord. ”

There are many people in the tent but it is not crowded or noisy, Nie Liang's voice is not high, and Sun Wen can also listen to it.

"What's the matter?" Nie Liang asked.

"My lord has done his best for the well-being of the people, and has quelled the wars of all places, and has toiled for several years to achieve the present situation, and the people under his rule can live and work in peace and contentment. Guangshan Gong has no grudge against my lord, why did he send troops to threaten Zhanjiang Pass?" Sun Wen said, "My lord asked, is this a provocation?"
