Yi Yin and Zhou Fan brought a piece of gold and silver, jade, brocade silk, etc., and prepared to go on the road with Captain Liu. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the court, Captain Liu had noticed Zhou Fan, and at this time, as soon as he saw Zhou Fan, he bowed and said, "Commander Zhou, please accept Liu Che's worship!" I don't know if Commander Zhou still remembers the little one. When Liu Che saw Zhou Fan, he was very humble, and the official level always crushed people to death.

"Oh, it's Captain Liu, how could Zhou not know him?" Zhou Fan looked at Liu Daodao.

"The last time I chased the commander, it was really the king's order, the little ones didn't dare to do it, don't be surprised!" Liu Daodao.

"Last time, it was actually Zhou who was unreasonable, and then said that Captain Liu acted according to orders, how can I blame you? I am thinking about it day by day, I always want to see the prince one day and apologize to the prince, and now I am going to Yiguo, which is a good time to apologize. How is Princess Embroidery at home? Zhou Fan could only ask Mianxiu in a tentative tone.

"Ever since the Commander left, the princess has been unable to think of you, and has always wanted to find you. She didn't know where she got the news that you had appeared in a small town and had been seen by one of her soldiers. Since then, she has run away from home and has not returned, because of this, the old disease has relapsed, and has passed away. Dare to ask if the Commander has ever seen the princess? "Liu Daodao.

"I didn't ...... No. Zhou Fan is now on a mission, and he is afraid of another complication, so he can only reply like this.

"You used to know each other?" Yi Yin, who was on the side, listened to their conversation and asked.

"Oh, that's right, before I went back to Shangdu, I had some experience in Yiguo, and I was an acquaintance with him."

"From this point of view, I really didn't bring the wrong person to Yi Guo, you are so familiar with Yi Guo, that makes me feel a lot more at ease."

They got on the horse with a group of retinues, and came to Yiguo in the dust. Yi Guo had already received the news, and Miantong led a group of courtiers to greet him in front of the palace.

Liu Che dismounted first and introduced him to Jintong and a group of courtiers: "This is Yi Yin, the new prime minister of the Shang State, and this is Zhou Fan, the commander of the inner court. Then he introduced Yi Yin, Zhou Fan and others to the same group of courtiers one by one.

Miantong invited Yi Yin and them into the chamber of the palace, asked them to sit down, asked his subordinates to offer tea and fruits, led Liu Che to the back hall, and asked Liu Daodao in a low voice: "Is the commander Zhou Fan who ran away from my house before?" Isn't he dead? How did you come to the Shang Kingdom to become a leader? ”

Liu Daodao: "It's the previous Zhou Fan, he didn't die, as for why he didn't die, and even became the commander of the big business, the subordinates don't know." Today, there are major national affairs, you must not use family affairs as a trivial matter, but act with righteousness, and all personal grievances will be talked about after dealing with national affairs. ”

"Of course I do." With that, he walked out of the back hall.

"The officers and soldiers of the Xia Dynasty have been here for a long time, and they heard that our Shang country was going to send the prime minister, so they did not enter our Yi country again. Now that the prime minister has arrived, what should I do next? Please also ask the prime minister to decide. "Mian Tongdao.

"You first order your subordinates to treat the Xia army and give the Xia army soldiers a good food and drink. Let's go to see Zhao Liang, the leader of the Xia army, immediately. Yi Yin said.

"Okay, my subordinates will do everything." Miantong instructed his subordinates to do a good job of the army, and said to Yi Yin: "I will lead you to see Zhao Liang." ”

Yi Yin and Zhou Fan went to Zhao Liang's tent with Mian, and when Mian saw Zhao Liang, he introduced: "This is Yi Yin, the minister of Shang State, and this is Zhou Fan, the leader of the inner court." ”

Zhao Liang looked at Yi Yin and Zhou Fan arrogantly, and was silent.

Seeing this, Yi Yin said: "General Zhao has traveled a long way, and the journey has been hard, and we are late for the army, and we hope to forgive our sins!" ”

"Doing things for the country, not to mention hard work, but the king's life is in his body, to catch the traitor for the rest of the ages, and please complete the country." Beam Road.

Yi Yin made a face to Zhou Fan, and motioned for someone to bring the gifts, and Zhou Fan immediately left the camp, and two boxes of gifts arrived in a while.

"The traitor is a traitor in the court, and if he doesn't come to the courtier's country, he comes to the courtier's country, and the courtier's country will also capture him and sacrifice him to the court, how dare he hide. Besides, if you capture the traitor, you will be a traitor, Shang is a vassal state of the Heavenly Dynasty, so why should you ask if you only send an envoy, why bother to work as a courtier? Yi Yin said.

"This is the emperor's will, and I can't do it."

Zhao Liang saw that someone had carried two wooden boxes and placed them under the tent, so he asked: What is this? ”

"This is the first time that my subordinates have met General Zhao, and I don't pay respect, but I hope to smile." Yi Yin said as he lifted the two boxes of gifts to Zhao Liang to see.

"Alas, we are all working for the country, why is that?" Zhao Liang pretended to be humble.

"This is a private gift from a subordinate to General Zhao, and it has nothing to do with the country, even if the subordinate is filial to the general, what do you think? For the sake of the thin noodles of the subordinates, please accept it. Yi Yin said.

"Yi Xiangguo is really good at talking, and there is a clear distinction between public and private, if he doesn't accept it, it will damage Xiangguo's face. However, this investigation of the end of the world still has to be done. Zhao Liang saw the gift, and his tone softened.

"Okay, good, General Zhao just act. At present, Yi Guo has prepared wine and food, and he hopes that the general will appreciate his face to show the meaning of the landlord. Yi Yin said.

"With such deep friendship, how can there be no reason not to appreciate face." After saying that, he laughed and went with Yi Yin and them.

"General, please rest assured, your soldiers, we have other arrangements for rewards." Yi Yin said.

"Yi Xiang is really thoughtful." Zhao Liang boasted.

They came to King Yi's palace together, spent all day drinking, drank halfway, Yi Yin signaled to Miantong, screened the maid to sing and dance, Yi Yin signaled to Zhou Fan again, Zhou Fan nodded, Zhou Fan said to Zhao Liang: "It is said that the general has loved martial arts since he was a child, Zhou is not talented, and wants to dance a set of swordsmanship, please ask the general to advise, and use it to help the fun." ”

"Hey, how can you have fun with a single sword, it's better to have a sword master in our army, dancing with the commander, what do you think?" Zhao Liang wanted to use the first swordsman of the Xia Dynasty to overwhelm Zhou Fan, and also wanted to show the majesty of the Xia Dynasty.

"Obey your commands." Zhou Fan said.

"Jing Gong, you come out and dance the sword with Commander Zhou to help the wine." Zhao Liang said to the person next to him.

"Yes, sir." Jing Gong Road. Then he got out of the banquet, came to the middle of the palace, and drew his sword from his waist.

At this time, Zhou Fan also took out the Xuanyuan sword and said: "The sword dance is to help the music with the sword, and the point is up." In order not to miss and hurt others, why don't we draw a circle in the center of this palace, and the sword dancer can't go out of the circle, I don't know if you agree? ”

"Commander Zhou is thoughtful, just what I want." Jing Gong Road.

"Good!" After that, Zhou Fan "whew", a circle was drawn, and he stood opposite Jing Gong and said, "Your Excellency, please!" ”

"Please," Jing Gong said.

The two of them each used their swordsmanship, Zhou Fan always kept his moves, and fought with Jing Gong for several rounds in line with the purpose of not losing and entertainment, but Jing Gong recruited people, and if he didn't have a quick eye and a quick hand, he would almost not be killed, or out of the circle. Zhou Fan thought that this sword dance was nominally a pleasure, but it was actually a secret sword contest. He knew very well in his heart that the other party represented the Xia Dynasty, and he represented the Shang State, the Xia Dynasty must maintain decency, and must not lose to the Shang State, and the Shang State cannot lose to the Xia Dynasty, if he loses, then Zhao Liang is even more unscrupulous, let alone put my Shang Kingdom in his eyes, maybe, he will forcibly go to the Shang capital to search his brother Zhonggu. Thinking of this, he must win Jing Gong in this sword competition, but he also has to make Jing Gong lose decently, and he also needs to win beautifully, so that he can dance the majesty of the Shang Kingdom, and then he really realized Yi Yin's intention to bring him.

Zhou Fan gathered internal force and slowly danced his unique swordsmanship, Xuanyuan Swordsmanship, forcing Jing Gong to retreat, he used internal force to make the sword, which seemed to be slow, but the move made Jing Gong unable to parry; Although Jing Gong's swordsmanship was fast, ruthless, and accurate, his moves were all resolved by Zhou Fan, making him irretrievable. Several times Zhou Fan pointed at Jing Gong's neck, but Zhou Fan's wonderful hand slid through, which made the people present praise. But all this can't hide from the sword expert-Zhao Liang, he completely saw the victory or loss of this sword competition, the so-called first swordsman of the Xia Dynasty was not the opponent of the Zhou Commander at all. Zhou Fan's mastery of swordsmanship and the duel with Jing Gong made him, an expert, even more stunned, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "The business country is full of talents. Zhao Liang immediately came to his senses, if this sword dance continued, Jing Gong would be ugly, it was better to end it quickly, he stood up and announced: "The sword dance is over here, the swordsmanship of both sides has its own merits, this is indeed to give the people present a glimpse of the swordsman's demeanor." ”

When Zhou Fan and Jing Gong heard Zhao Liang's words, they immediately stopped, and the two sides said, "Accept!" "Put away your sword and sit down.

After a while, Zhao Liang said again: "Thanks to the affectionate hospitality of Yi Guo, we have enough wine, so we will return to the camp, gather soldiers, return to the summer capital, and return to the Xia king. ”

"Thank you, General!" Everyone got up and thanked them, and watched Zhao Liang leave the palace.

About half an hour, the scouts came to report that the Xia army had returned to the summer capital.

At this time, Yi Yin, Zhou Fan, Miantong, Liu Che and others breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Zhou Fan saw Miantong, he could see from his eyes that Miantong had a grudge against him. Zhou Fan knew that if he was puzzled, the resentment would fall deeper and deeper, so he said to Yi Yin: "I have some personal misunderstandings with Prince Mian, and I want to go to the palace." ”

"Do you want me to help?"

"Xie Xiangguo cares, and his subordinates have their own measure."

Yi Yin then walked away. Zhou Fan saw that Yi Yin had left, and came to the palace, at this time, Liu Che and Miantong were talking about Zhou Fan, and suddenly saw Zhou Fan coming, Liu Che hurriedly avoided to the side. Zhou Fan looked at Miantong and half-knelt down and said: "Brother sin visits to Brother A, today he came to the palace, Brother wants to kill and scrape, Brother Sin will never complain!" ”

"You still have the face to come to my palace, your father is alive, he treats you as flesh and blood, and marries your sister to you, but you do that kind of inexplicable and unreasonable thing. Now Auntie has run away for you, and her whereabouts are still unknown. Didn't you say you were dead? How is it still alive? Now that you are a celebrity of the King of Shang and have a world-beating martial arts, how dare this king kill you? ”

At this time, Zhou Fan suddenly remembered Mianxiu, although she was too extreme, but when she thought about it, she also had her suffering, he should not blame her, now that she is missing, I don't know if she is dead or alive. For a while, I was infinitely remorseful, deeply sad, and unconsciously burst into tears, crying: "I know that I have failed your family, and I don't ask you for forgiveness, but I want to visit my aunt with a sinful body, and regret in front of my uncle's grave, and hope that the prince will be fulfilled!" ”

Liu Che saw that Miantong was still angry, and saw Zhou Fan in tears, so he hurriedly ran to Miantong and persuaded: "Lord Wang, you dissipate your anger first, I think Commander Zhou is sincere to apologize, you see that he has already shed golden tears, forget it." ”

Miantong didn't answer silently, Liu Che guessed that he had acquiesced, so he left quietly with Zhou Fan.

Liu Che took Zhou Fan to the concubine, the concubine is no longer as good as in previous years, her appearance has declined, and she is much older. When she saw Zhou Fan, she didn't say anything, just burst into tears. Zhou Fan saw that the concubine was so sad and wanted to persuade her, but she seemed to remember something, so she said to Zhou Fan: "When Mianyou was still alive, he was right, he said that you would not leave, you will definitely come back, and now that you are back, he has passed away, Mianxiu has run away again, and he does not know whether he is alive or dead." Hey, by the way, have you ever seen cotton embroidery? ”

Zhou Fan could only reply: "No." He didn't want to give her old man a meaningless hope, and he would find them and explain everything later.

Liu Che took him to Mianyou's tomb and burned paper money as a sacrifice.

Zhou Fan returned to Yi Yin, and Yi Yin smiled at Zhou Fan: "I just listened to Yang Jiao and others tell the story of you and King Yi's mansion, I didn't expect Commander Zhou to have such a marriage with the Mian family, and now only by finding Princess Mianxiu can this marriage be completed." ”

Zhou Fan sighed: "I don't know when I can find her...... Guys. "We" are very light, and if you don't listen carefully, you really can't hear it.

Yi Yin and his entourage left the country of Yi and came to the Shang capital, and when people knew that the Xia soldiers had retreated, they were all happy and welcoming, and they didn't want to suffer from the war.

They came to the palace of the king of Shang, the king of Tang had led the princes and ministers to greet him in front of the palace, Yi Yin and Zhou Fan dismounted, and bowed to the king of Tang: "The ministers will not live up to their mission and return safely." ”

"You have worked hard, and now you have set up a feast to catch the wind and wash the dust." King Tang held Yi Yin and Zhou Fan's hands in his left and right hands.
