Chapter 46: Still Don't Trust Yourself
The north wind outside the house was blowing tightly, and Han Yu took out the only remaining copper coin from his arms and stuffed it into Xu Yun's hand.
"Don't excuse me, I can't help you anything, I just hope that after the spring entrance exam next year, I can see you in front of the palace!"
Xu Yun was immediately frightened, and hurriedly shirked and said, "The eldest husband should be self-reliant, why is the adult like this!" ”
Han Yu grabbed the wine bowl on the table and said with a smile, "Although this money is not enough for Mr. to survive for four months, it is also my heart, don't say anything!" ”
At this point, Xu Yun bent down and arched his hand, and replied in a rather sincere tone, "Even so, I hope that the adults will remember what the villain said before, and I hope to cherish it!" ”
With that, he refused to accept the money on the table, and walked out of the house quickly.
Looking at Xu Yunyuan's back, Han Yu glanced at the money he threw on the table again, standing on the ground, his face suddenly pale and bloodless, and muttered to himself, "These madmen...... It's a bit of a ......."
That night, Han Yu couldn't sleep at all, his chest was tight and painful, and he couldn't breathe, and the words of Zhou Ning and Xu Yun were in his mind, chasing him like a nightmare. Tossing and turning until the third watch of the day when I felt better and was able to fall asleep.
In the early morning of the next day, Han Yu heard Li Ping's hurried knock on the door in a hazy way, and when he opened the door, he saw that he looked a little flustered.
"Feng Tai sent someone to invite."
Hearing this, Han Yu had already expected it, and asked calmly, "When will you call me?" ”
"...... Now"
Han Yu immediately tied his hair with both hands and said with a smile, "In this case, you tell the person who came, I will go with him after washing!" ”
Li Ping was ordered to retreat, but after a while, he hurriedly came, "Gao Fan has arrived......"
Hearing this, Han Yu's face had not been washed yet, so he shook his hands and said, "Lead him in!" ”
"My general...... Gao Fan trotted all the way into the house, closed the door with a snort, and kowtowed to Han Yu with a flattering face, "You can't go to that person's mansion this time!" ”
Although he successfully invited Xiong Gu to come forward and help him rescue Gu Yuexi, he was really shocked. But Han Yu didn't like people like him in his heart, and when he saw him like this today, he stood up and asked indifferently, "How can I go?" ”
Gao Fan raised his eyes slightly, and then kowtowed, "That person took advantage of His Majesty to sneak out of the palace, spread the edict to earn the general to enter Beijing, and made the general in prison and committed a serious crime......" After saying that, he paused deliberately, and secretly looked up at Han Yu, as if he was speculating about Han Yu's thoughts.
"Go on." Han Yu paced to the tea table, slowly sat down and poured a cup of tea, and looked at Gao Fan, who was kneeling and kowtowing.
"If the general enters Beijing alone this time to serve the edict, he may be able to retreat with his whole body, after all, the local military power is in his hands, although that person has the intention to cause harm, but he can't help it. But ......"
"Tell me more details!" Han Yu pulled the chair forward.
Gao Fan pondered for a moment, lowered his head and said, "First of all, there is a fuss in the Qianzhou Yamen, that person already knows that there is a woman accompanying him, and he also knows the importance of this woman in the general's heart!" In this way, with the handle in hand, how can you easily let go of the general? ”
"So how do I deal with it?" Han Yu's gaze was unfathomable, staring at Gao Fan with all his attention.
"The lower officials are not talented, but they have lived in the capital for a long time as an errand boy, and they still have a little understanding of the minds of these people." As if encouraged, Gao Fan couldn't help but be excited, his eyes were bright, and then he replied, "Now you have two ways to choose, one of them is to find a way to escape from the capital immediately!" As for the second one......" Gao Fan was suddenly a little embarrassed and paused.
Han Yu narrowed his eyes, and couldn't help but start to re-examine the villain in front of him, who had always been thought by himself to be unlearned and unskilled, and could only flatter and cling to the powerful. After taking a thoughtful sip of tea, he finally said, "But it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”
Gao Fan mustered up his courage at this time, and replied with a solemn expression, "Marriage!" ”
"Ho~" Han Yu threw down the tea bowl with a smile, got up and walked in front of Gao Fan, and said, "Do you know a person named Xu Yun and Xu Wentai?" This person was the first place in the autumn examination, but he inadvertently violated the sacred secrets of the first emperor in the article, so he was deposed and famous, and he was poor and lived in the capital......"
"Xu Wentai?" Gao Fan raised his head and thought for a long time, then replied, "I haven't heard of it." ”
"I've never heard of ......" Han Yu smiled and turned his back in his mouth, suddenly sighed, raised his head and said, "Although this person is down, he is a bit arrogant and unwilling to cling to the powerful. As for the knowledge of this chest, it is said that he has Xiao He and Zhang Liang's Wentao martial arts; There are also Su Qin and Zhang Yi's eloquent talents! ”
Gao Fan didn't understand what Han Yu meant, but he vaguely sensed that he seemed to be a little displeased, and cautiously echoed, "Wen Sheng is so arrogant, why should the general be like them?" ”
"I'm not angry." Han Yu shook his head behind his back, and said in a calm and light tone, "It's just that I'm suddenly thinking about one thing......"
Gao Fan's body suddenly trembled slightly, and he interjected as if he had a weak heart, "What is the general worried about?" ”
"I'm thinking, Nuo Da Jingshi is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger! Although I Han Xiaozhi is not talented, I have often fought with talents from all over the world in the south for many years in the past five years, although I dare not compare myself with Han Xin and Zhang Zifang's talents, but I also consciously no one can guess my mind, so I can make my Xu Guonan camp based in the south! Why is it that you have arrived in this Jingshi now......" Han Yu suddenly turned around, stretched out his hand with a gloomy face, pointed at Gao Fan and asked sharply, "Not only was you seen through your mind by a sixth-grade petty official, but you were also seen through by a fallen madman!" Is it really my Han Xiaozhi's incompetence! ”
"The general is angry!" Gao Fan trembled with fright, and his pale face repeatedly kowtowed in defense, "It must be just a coincidence...... Xiaguan often likes to speculate on the minds of the powerful in this capital......"
"No!" Han Yu's face turned pale, and he patted Gao Fan on the back and said, "You tell me the truth, what is your relationship with that Xu Wentai!" ”
When Gao Fan heard this, he knew that he could no longer deceive Han Yu, so he looked behind him with a hesitant face, and saw that the door of the house was closed and there was no ear on the wall, so he sighed heavily, sat down on the ground weakly, and said, "Don't dare to deceive the general, those words just now are exactly the ...... that Xu Wentai taught me to tell the adult."
"Hehe~" Han Yu sneered and turned around and walked to the tea table, grabbed the tea bowl on the table and drank it all, feeling a chill that overwhelmed his body, glaring and scolding, "Go on!" ”
Gao Fan's face was like ashes and he lamented, "Returning to the Great General...... Xu Wentai and I were both sent by Lord Zhou earlier, and we knew that the general was afraid of accidents when he entered Beijing under the edict of Jiaojiao, so he secretly helped the Lord to tide over the difficulties......"
"Zhou Ning?"
Han Yu immediately rolled his eyes, and after muttering for a long time, he understood why he didn't show any flaws, and how neither Gao Fan nor that Xu Wentai could know that he had entered Beijing under the edict.
Not only that, but you can also guess your own thoughts, and even how to make decisions is so close to each other. Xu Wentai, who compares himself to Zhang Zifang, may have this ability, but this Gao Fan has no such possibility!
As for Zhou Ning, that old boy is really shrewd, it seems that he still doesn't trust himself, afraid that he will really be bought by Feng Tai this time......
"Yes......" Gao Fan nodded, "Then Xu Wentai is a student of Lord Zhou, and he is also an old friend of Xia Guan." He knew that he couldn't move the general last night, so he asked me to come and convince me today......"
Han Yu glanced at Gao Fan, who was kneeling, with surprised eyes, and suddenly asked curiously, "In this way, Xu Wentai can be regarded as a backer of the imperial envoy of the dynasty, but why did he fall into such a field?" ”
"Who says it's not...... Gao Fan was also puzzled, and said, "Lord Zhou has a lot of respect for this student, and once said that this person will be the pillar of the Great Xu Kingdom in the future." Therefore, when he went to Beijing to take the exam, he was specially given a letter of recommendation. But he didn't think that Xu Wentai was unmoved at all, and he had to rely on his knowledge to gain fame! ”
After hearing this, Han Yu suddenly had some admiration for this arrogant student who didn't know the height of the sky last night, and couldn't help but admire, "I have the Book of Ten Thousand Gold, but I can not be moved." He should be a model for people who read books in the world! ”
"He's just pedantic!" Gao Fan was disdainful, and replied with some hatred, "How can this become an official rely on the so-called backbone?" ”
Han Yu didn't want to answer, but suddenly thought of something, and immediately asked Gao Fan, "Does Your Majesty also know that I have entered Beijing?!" ”
Hearing this, Gao Fan's expression suddenly became sluggish, and he hurriedly covered up his back before he replied with a little shame, "This ...... The lower official is just a six-grade petty official...... How can you go straight to heaven......"
Han Yu narrowed his eyes, knowing that Gao Fan was more proficient in the way of being an official than Zhou Ning, and he was as smooth as a loach, and it was impossible to get anything out of his mouth. But judging by his expression, it seems that he is acquiescing. He immediately smiled and beckoned to him, saying, "In that case, please come over for tea first." ”
Gao Fan hurriedly got up, bowed down and sat tremblingly opposite Han Yu, nervously bowing his head and not daring to speak.
"In addition to the two of you, Zhou Ning also arranged for others?" Han Yu poured him a cup of tea and suddenly asked.
"Nope!" Gao Fan raised his head and shook his head firmly.
"Then let's eat tea," Han Yu picked up the tea bowl with a smile and saluted Gao Fan, "You tell Zhou Ning that his kindness Han Xiao's heart has been received!" As for how to do it, I know how to do it, let him relax! ”
Just as he was talking, he suddenly heard Li Ping urging in a low voice outside the door, "The people sent by Feng Tai are waiting a little anxious......
