Nothing to say all the way. On this day, Fan Li escorted Mrs. Hengying to a place not far from Linzi, and Youcheng sent someone to ride a fast horse into the city in advance to report the situation to Chen Heng.

Mrs. Hengying asked Youcheng: "General, how far is it from the capital?" ”

Youcheng said: "Mrs. Hui." It is only thirty miles away from Linzi. ”

Madame sighed and said: "Along the way, after several risks, thanks to Mr. Fan Li's escort all the way, we were able to arrive safely." Thank you sir. ”

Fan Li said: "Madame doesn't have to be polite, Fan Li can go with Madame, and it is also the favor of God, not everyone in the world can walk with Madame." ”

Talking about it all the way, I walked out more than ten miles unconsciously, and suddenly saw smoke and dust rising in front of me, and a team of people and horses galloped over.

Heng Ying said: "Sir, Xiangye is here." The concubine should be introduced to Mr. ”

Fan Li said, "Thank you, madam." ”

The team got closer and closer, and saw the head of the family, riding a red horse, wearing a purple court dress, sword eyebrows and eagle eyes, heroic, and kingly.

Lao Yuan shouted, "Where is Madame?" He jumped off his horse, came to the chariot, and said, "Madame has had a hard journey. ”

Heng Ying suddenly burst into tears through the car window, sobbing and saying: "The concubine died nine times in her life, and she almost didn't see Xiangye." On the way, he encountered a group of robbers, killed more than a dozen people by the guards, and saw that the concubine was about to be murdered by the gangsters. And escorted all the way here. Please be a good student, thank you, sir. ”

Chen Heng bowed deeply to Fan Li and said: "Under Chen Heng, I have heard the name of Uncle Fan Li for a long time, and I admire him very much. Unexpectedly, Mr. saved my wife's life as soon as he made a move, this is a great kindness, Chen Heng will never forget it. ”

Fan Li hurriedly returned the salute and said, "It's just a trivial matter, why worry about it." Fan Li was fortunate enough to help his wife do something, which was also God's arrangement. Now that the lady has returned to the adult, Fan Li has relieved himself of a responsibility. ”

Chen Heng said: "Where does Uncle Fan want to go now? ”

Fan Li said: "Fan Li is no longer an official now, just like the rain hitting duckweed, no roots and no stumbling blocks, the four seas are home, and there is no clear place to go." Believe in the reins, where you go. ”

Chen Heng said: "Since the uncle has no place to go, and he is kind to Chen Heng, I respectfully ask the uncle to deign to us, so that Chen Heng has the opportunity to entertain him well, although it is not enough to repay the favor, you can also express your gratitude a little." ”

Fan Li made a thought, paused, and then said: "Thank you for your kindness, Fan Li just has nowhere to go, and the adults give a place to eat and sleep, Fan Li can't thank you enough." ”

Heng Ying looked through the car window and said happily: "Mr. agreed!" Thank you sir. ”

Chen Heng was also full of joy, and said: "Chen Heng is deeply honored, wherever Mr. Fan Li is a guest, it is a lifetime of glory. Uncle, please get on the horse. ”

So everyone got on the horse, the carriage started, and the team brought by Chen Heng, the back team changed to the front team, and drove forward. Chen Heng and Fan Li walked side by side. Along the way, they talked very happily, and the time was not large, so they entered Linzi City.

In the capital of Qi State, the streets are spacious, clean and tidy, even the pedestrians on the street are also neat and tidy. On both sides of the street, shops are connected, and roadside stalls are diverse. It's a picture of prosperity and wealth.

Fan Li sighed in his heart, five or six hundred years of Qi country, talented people, each leading the way. The world-famous virtuous minister Yan Ying governed the Qi country, laying a solid foundation for the Qi country for a hundred years. It's a pity that in recent generations, the monarchs have not been very competitive, and they have repeatedly made mistakes, which has brought many disasters to the Qi country.

For example, Jing Gong, who reigned for 57 years, did not make achievements, and when he was old, he broke the rules, abolished the growth and established the young, and caused the bane of turmoil. An Ruzi took over the throne, the children were ignorant, and their words and deeds were subordinate to others, which made the courtiers bigger, and the power of the Chen, Bao, Guo, and Gao families was already stronger than the imperial court. Seeing that the monarch was not pleasing to the eye, he directly replaced it and re-established. As a result, several monarchs were changed in a few years.

These are the banes!

Later historical facts proved that Chen Heng finally killed Jian Gong and set up a new master. Later, the Tian family, which originated from the Chen state, finally usurped the power of the Jiang family, and the Marquis of Qi changed the surname Jiang to the surname Tian.

The State of Qi, established by Jiang Taigong, has always been an eventful country.

Fan Li sighed in his heart. Walking through the street, through the alley, and soon came to a tall courtyard, which was Chen Hengxiang's mansion. Fan Li and Chen Heng dismounted, humbled each other, and entered with a salute. Hengying's carriage drove directly into the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Xiangfu is a very large courtyard, surrounded by high walls, pavilions and pavilions in the middle, various buildings, small bridges and flowing water, exotic flowers and plants, completely garden design.

There are three steps and one post in the courtyard, and five steps and one sentry, and the security is tight, which shows how difficult it is for ordinary people to see the prime minister.

Chen Heng led Fan Li to the study to talk, and Heng Ying and Tian Ji returned to the back hall. The study room is furnished with some antiques and current craft works, and the bookshelf is full of bamboo slips. Regardless of whether Chen Heng reads or not, the stall is set down.

Chen Heng said: "Uncle Fan, please sit down and watch the tea!" ”

Someone brought tea, Chen Heng said: "Uncle sit down for a while, and Heng will come when he goes." "Inside, take off the court clothes, change into civilian clothes, and then come out to talk to Fan Li.

Chen Heng said: "I just came back from the dispersal of the dynasty, and I haven't had time to change my clothes, I heard the report from the people below, Mrs. came back, and said that she was in distress on the way, thanks to the uncle's rescue." Chen Heng thanked him again. ”

Fan Li said: "This little thing has passed, and adults don't have to worry about it." Now Fan Li is no longer an uncle, a cloth cloth, and I want to thank the adults for not dismissing Fan Li for being poor and treating him as a guest, which moved Fan Li. ”

Chen Heng looked at Fan Li and said: "Mr. Fan, although he doesn't walk around in the court of Wu State, he is still majestic, no matter where he goes, he will be used by Director Jun, and he will not worry about being useless." ”

Fan Li said with a smile: "Do you think that Fan Li went north to seek an official position in that country?" Definitely! Fan Li is tired of officialdom and just wants to have a free body. Wild cranes are idle and homely. ”

Chen Heng also smiled: "How can Mr. indulge the mountains and wilderness? Someone will invite you out of the mountain. ”

Fan Li shook his head and said, "It's not too difficult for Fan Li to find a place to eat. But Fan Li really didn't want to get involved in the red dust anymore. Speaking of which, adults may not believe it, Fan Li is here purely for fun, if it weren't for the chance to relieve his wife's difficulties, I wouldn't have visited the adults, let alone met Qi Hou. ”

Chen Heng hugged his fists and said with a smile: "Mr. is elegant and strange, and has the style of a fairy." Chen Heng is a layman, compared to Mr., he is ashamed of himself. ”

Fan Li laughed and said, "Too humble! Be humble! ”

As he was talking, a small army came in and whispered a few words in Chen Heng's ear, Chen Heng's face turned angry, and he scolded fiercely: "It's really unreasonable!" ”
