Chapter 65: Border War
"Patriarch Fan doesn't have to be embarrassed, I am willing to take the place of the Zhao family to participate in the war on the Mobei border. Ji Chen stood up from the ground and said.
"What?"
"This ......"
“......”
Suddenly, everyone in the hall was slightly startled, and Fan Ling'er said eagerly when she heard this: "No, father, Ji Chen injured Zhao Hongying in order to save me, if the Zhao family must give an explanation, then ...... I am willing to marry Zhao Hongying. ”
"No!" Ji Chen immediately said: "No matter who I am for, Zhao Gongzi was injured by me after all, and one person does things alone, so there is no need to wronged Miss Fan." ”
Fan Mo frowned: "Ji Chen, do you know what it means to participate in the border war in Mobeidi?"
Ji Chen said lightly: "I don't know. ”
"Since thousands of years ago, the war between our Dongzhou and Mobei has never stopped, and on that ancient battlefield that has lasted for thousands of years, there has never been a person who stands to the end, so do you understand the meaning of this?" asked Fan Mo.
"I am indeed a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, but if this life is bought by the people I care about sacrificing themselves, then I would rather not. Ji Chen said with a firm gaze.
The Zhao family patriarch's pupils shrank, obviously he didn't expect that this ordinary subordinate in front of him would be such a strong person, the reason why he set such a request was also a temporary intention, just to refute what Fan Mo just said, in fact, the main purpose of his trip was to make the marriage contract between Zhao Fan's two families advance.
Because his son has been abolished, he himself knows that this matter is somewhat the fault of the Zhao family, so he just wants to advance the marriage contract he made before, and then execute the person who abolished his son to save the face of the Zhao family, which is not too much.
It's just that the change of things is completely different from what the Zhao family patriarch expected, he didn't expect that Fan Mo would die to protect such a subordinate, even if this subordinate has a strange fire, but the Star Pavilion has already ordered him to be executed, he should not dare to disobey the Star Pavilion.
Fan Ling'er hurriedly knelt down and said to Fan Mo: "Father, Ji Chen is innocent, and he shouldn't be treated as a sacrifice." ”
"Ling'er!" Ji Chen stretched out his hand, he called Fan Ling'er like this for the first time, and Fan Ling'er, who had always allowed only those close to him to call her like this, did not show any disgust at the moment, on the contrary, she was even a little happy in her heart.
When Fan Ling'er turned to look at Ji Chen, he suddenly lowered his head again: "Master, master, I injured the person, and I will bear all the consequences." ”
Fan Ling'er looked at Ji Chen with tears in her eyes, and then suddenly scolded: "Are you a fool!? My marriage contract with Zhao Hongying has already been decided, even if I don't advance it, I will marry him sooner or later, why do you need to be amorous here and take your life for nothing!"
"Ling Qianjin is extremely affected, anyway, sooner or later, this family affair will be completed, why not advance a little earlier, so that this matter can be resolved in a friendly manner?" Patriarch Zhao hurriedly echoed and said to Fan Mo.
Fan Mo frowned and ignored Patriarch Zhao, Patriarch Zhao didn't get a response, so he had to smack his lips in embarrassment and sit upright.
"The marriage contract in a year is your business, but if it's my business because I brought it forward then it's my business, I won't let it go forward. ”
Ji Chen said ruthlessly, he didn't even dare to look up at Fan Ling'er.
After Fan Ling'er heard Ji Chen's words, the tears rolling in her eyes finally couldn't help but flow.
"I don't care, you can't participate in the border war in Mobei, I am your master, you must listen to me, otherwise, I will dissolve the master-apprentice relationship with you, and you and I have nothing to do with it. Fan Linger said with tears in her eyes.
"If you have to do that, then lift it. Ji Chen desperately suppressed the pain in his heart, so that he could seem even more indifferent when he said this.
Fan Mo stood up from his seat, "Ji Chen, have you really decided?"
Ji Chen nodded: "I decided." ”
Fan Mo gritted his teeth and lowered his head and hesitated for a long time: "Okay, since you have made up your mind, then it's okay, don't blame me for being ruthless." ”
"It's my own intention, there is no reason to affect the rest of the Fan family, and the Fan patriarch does not have to feel guilty. ”
Fan Mo sighed, and then looked at Patriarch Zhao: "How." ”
Patriarch Zhao hammered the table, then stood up on the ground: "You are such a good boy." In eight days, send the people there yourselves!"
After speaking, Patriarch Zhao yelled at the few people on the seat: "Let's go!"
Then the Zhao family walked out of the lobby with Zhao Hongying on the recliner.
Fan Ling'er froze in place, tears flowing from the corners of her eyes to her cheeks, and then fell to the ground, ticking.
"Why, what do you have to promise, do you know how cruel the border war is, you will die!" Fan Ling'er roared at Ji Chen.
Ji Chen looked at the ground with a sad and angry face: "I'll go back first, and when the time comes, please ask the Patriarch Fan to send someone to inform me." ”
After Ji Chen finished saying to Fan Mo, he walked straight away, leaving Fan Ling'er with tears on his face, Fan Mo who stood with his hands behind his back, and the Fan family elders who were talking a lot.
"Father. Fan Ling'er wiped her tears and shouted to Fan Mo.
Fan Mo raised his hand with his back to him: "Between Ji Chen and you, I can only choose you, I will find a way to make a marriage contract with the Zhao family before, in short, my father will never let you marry such a wasted person." Alright, go down. ”
Fan Yan also walked out from behind and patted Fan Ling'er on the shoulder: "Listen to your father, your father is also good for you, you go back first." ”
Fan Ling'er looked at Fan Yan, tears couldn't help but flow down again, and then lowered her head and rushed out.
After Fan Ling'er left, Fan Mo waved his hand, causing the elders on the seat to retreat one after another.
Fan Yan stepped forward: "Is this Ji Chen really sent to the border to die?"
"Hey, I'm helpless, the marriage contract of the Zhao Fan family has to be canceled no matter what, but now is the time for the Fan family to improve their strength and trample the Ye family under their feet in one fell swoop, and we still need the support of the Zhao family, so in the face of such a choice, I can only abandon the car to protect the handsome, it just so happens that Xingge also wants this person's life, it is better to let him go to the border to fend for himself." ”
......
At noon three days later, Fan Yan suddenly came to Ji Chen's residence, he knocked on the door twice, and Ji Chen got up and opened the door.
"Lord Fan?"
Fan Yan nodded, and then said: "I came to you to tell you about the border war, you will be drafted in a few days, in order to avoid you don't know anything and suffer at that time." ”
"Oh, thank you, Lord Fan. Ji Chen hurriedly thanked.
"It's complicated and there's a lot of content about the border war, so let's go in and talk about it. ”
"Yes, Lord Fan, please. Ji Chen pushed aside, and then made a gesture of please.
The two walked into the room one after the other, Fan Yan wiped the dust on the round table, wiped the dust on the chair, and then sat down: "You won't stay in this place for long." ”
"Hehe, since I came here, I have been cultivating outside the city with Ling'er, except for sleeping at night, I basically haven't stayed here much. Ji Chen scratched his head.
Fan Yan shook his head and sighed: "Originally, I was kind enough to take you into the mansion, but I didn't expect it to harm you in the end." ”
"If it weren't for your kindness to take me in, it is estimated that I would have starved to death on the streets, and you have been taking care of me for a long time in this house, and I am too late to thank you. ”
Fan Yan laughed: "Ji Chen, I know that you are a smart person, in fact, you already know why I kept you in the mansion." ”
Facing Fan Yan's sudden words, Ji Chen's expression instantly froze.
What's the situation? Is this smiling tiger going to have a showdown? Could it be that he knows that he is leaving, and he will never return, so he directly wants to forcibly snatch it? Ji Chen was puzzled in his heart, and his body began to be alert.
After Fan Yan finished saying that, he looked at Ji Chen coldly, Ji Chen's body slowly tensed, and he planned to protect the magic sword on his back at any time.
Who knew that Fan Yan suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahaha, I was nervous! Although I did have the idea of beating your baby at the beginning, do you know why I, as the second-in-command of Fanfu, didn't take it hard?"
Ji Chen swallowed: "Why?"
Fan Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Your baby I only have a glance to know that it is absolutely extraordinary, when you first entered the city, I did have it in mind, but I Fan Yan is definitely not a bad person, I still understand the truth that a gentleman loves money and takes it in a proper way." Besides, during this period of getting along, I also feel very cordial to you, and I really see you as a junior, so you don't have to worry. ”
"Really?"
"Of course. ”
Ji Chen looked at Fan Yan's sincere eyes, not like he was telling a lie, and his heart gradually relaxed.
"Actually, to be honest, I've been wary of adults for so long, and now it seems that I have lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Ji Chen said ashamedly.
Fan Yan waved his hand angrily: "I understand, it's a good thing to be wary of going to a strange place alone, and this habit must be maintained in the future." ”
"Remember what your lord admonished. Ji Chen said gratefully.
"Hey, I haven't been here for long, and you're leaving, which really makes me feel a little guilty. Okay, let's get down to business. ”
Ji Chen nodded.
"Have you heard of the border war between Dongzhou and Mobei?" asked Fan Yan.
"I haven't heard of it. Ji Chen returned.
"This border war was actually triggered by the increase in strength of Mobei thousands of years ago, for example, the Southern Wilderness has always been equal to the strength of our Dongzhou, so the two realms are very peaceful, but with the great increase in strength of Mobei thousands of years ago, it began to fight the idea of our Dongzhou territory, and the war broke out. Fan Yan sighed and continued: "The battle between the two realms is very fierce and long-term, the war has never stopped since the beginning, the cities in the two realms continue to deliver supplies and soldiers to the battlefield, so the people on the battlefield are endless, which is why Ling'er doesn't let you go, because if you go, it means that you will die in battle, it's just a matter of time." ”
"Then why don't you stop this war?" asked Ji Chen.
"Once a war is fought, especially a huge war, it is very difficult to calm down unless the winner is decided. Fan Yan said silently.
