Chapter 870: The Heart of the Superior

With a "whoosh", the arrow shot out of the bow, cut through the air, and brought out such a sound, thinking about the target to fly, but it seems that because the arm strength of the archer is not enough, it is not stable enough, the arrow deviates from the direction that its owner originally aimed, although it is only at the source for a point that cannot be checked, but after it flies over, the gap is revealed, in short, after saying so much is a sentence, no shot, and the hare that was frightened quickly jumped away.

"Oh, it's a pity," Zhu Yijun, who didn't shoot at the target, didn't say anything, but someone on the side immediately opened his mouth to pat the ass, sighing a pity, "It's just a little bit worse, otherwise I would have been shot,"

Someone spoke, and the person next to him, who didn't have time to speak, immediately echoed the voice, for fear of showing disrespect.

In fact, he knows his own affairs better than anyone else, he understands that because of his age, this arm strength is naturally not strong enough, and it is precisely for this reason that Zhu Yijun, who has shot a lot of arrows before, has begun to lose his arm strength, the most important thing is that in the case of arm strength, the hand is a little weak, so that the stability of the arrow will naturally decline, and it is good to hold it all the time, but the moment the arrow is released, Your hands will definitely not be able to hold it.

And this kind of hunting is really not easy to cheat, and the people next to him are not easy to help, after all, the vision ahead is wide all the way, if there is any action, it is really clear at a glance, so these people can only pat on the side.

It's just that he doesn't care about these people next to him, even if their sycophants have been slapped on the horse's legs, but he doesn't care much, and now he actually doesn't care much about these little things in front of him, and the most important thing is that he wants to fulfill the promise he made before and hunt a deer, but it's just that it's been so long, and he really hasn't touched one, which makes him a little upset.

"Your Majesty," at this time, Zheng Chengxian spoke out very at the right time, and said, "Wechen has also hunted before, and this deer doesn't like to be in the grass, maybe there will be in the woods over there," as he spoke, Zheng Chengxian pointed to the woods not far away.

With Zheng Chengxian's gesture to look over, Zhu Yijun looked at the woods over there, nodded, and said: "Since Aiqing said so, then let's go there and try our luck," In fact, Zhu Yijun at this time wanted to say that he was not discouraged at all, it was definitely a lie, after all, such a long time has passed, and the previous "ambition" must have faded, and in fact, for Zheng Chengxian's words, Zhu Yijun actually didn't want to go to the woods too much.

Although he made such a "bold statement", but he knew in his heart how much he was capable of, even if he ran into a deer, he was very worried about whether he could shoot, and now that his physical strength has been consumed so much, even if he is shot, if he can't shoot if he can't shoot, it will be even worse, so Zhu Yijun doesn't want to go to the woods, if he says outside, if he hasn't touched a deer today, he also has a reason, but if he enters what Zheng Chengxian said, If there are a lot of deer in the woods, it will be difficult to do if you do touch one.

However, now that Zheng Chengxian has spoken out, it is impossible for him not to agree, but in his heart, he has some complaints about Zheng Chengxian.

Zheng Chengxian naturally didn't know about these, if he knew that these words would make him complained by Zhu Yijun, he would never be able to say it, but now it doesn't matter, anyway, after Zhu Yijun goes in, he will inevitably hunt a deer, and when that time comes, his complaints about Zheng Chengxian will become happy.

So, the group turned their horses' heads and thought about the woods over there.

The woods are indeed much better than the outside, after all, there are many more animals living in the forest than in the grass outside, but since I said before, Zhu Yijun has only one goal, so he doesn't look at other things.

Because of the fear of startling the snake, the group walked very slowly, and for Zhang Fan and Zheng Chengxian, the two of them had already known what the ending would be, but they seemed bored, and the two of them were at the back of the team and chatted.

"By the way, Lord Zheng," Zhang Fan spoke first, saying, "A few days ago, when I went to visit the old Shangguan and Chengguo Gong, I heard a news, "Zhu Xizhong, the Duke of Chengguo, is the great-great-grandson of Zhu Neng, the Duke of Chengguo, the hereditary Duke of Chengguo, since he stepped down from the position of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he took over the government of the Hou Army.

"Oh, Lord Zhang has been to see Guogong recently," Hearing Zhang Fan talk about this matter, Zheng Chengxian couldn't help asking, "Guogong is the Shangguan of Xiaguan, but he rarely goes to the government recently, and Xiaguan has always wanted to visit, but because things are busy in the mansion, he can't take time, Guogong is okay,"

"Guogong is in good health," Zhang Fan said, "It's just that you also know that Guogong is old, although he still looks young, but in fact, next year will be the year of the sixtieth year, and now Guogong is in good spirits, but I can also see that Guogong is a little powerless, and wants to be idle and take care of his old age,"

"Oh, there are still such things," Zheng Chengxian became energetic when he heard Zhang Fan talk about this matter, "Alas, but it's really the case when you think about it, after all, although Guogong looks good, he doesn't look like he is over forty years old, but the age is there,"

Zheng Chengxian is so excited, naturally there is a reason, now, he is the governor of the Houjun Governor's Mansion, and his status in the Houjun is actually second in command after Zhu Xizhong, if Zhu Xizhong is ready to unload the burden, then he is very likely to take the position.

"Well, there is indeed such a thing, I also specially asked Guogong, Guogong didn't mean to hide it, and told me directly, "Zhang Fan is not surprised, after all, no one wants to do this kind of thing, "I don't know if Master Zheng is intentional,"

"This ......" Zheng Chengxian didn't know if Zhang Fan's words were asking or testing, but he didn't hesitate, and told the truth, "Lord Zhang, to be honest, I naturally have that kind of thought, but my background is ...... I'm afraid there's not much hope," Speaking of which, Zheng Chengxian's previous excitement also went down a lot.

Originally, in fact, in the entire Ming Dynasty, most of the people who served as the governors or fellow intellectuals of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies were hereditary heroes, after all, these people made great contributions to Zhu Di's martyrdom back then, and Zhu Di naturally had to rest assured a lot about these people, and they were more at ease when they were used, after all, the responsibility of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies was great.

Of course, the people who slowly sat up from below and walked into this ranks are not nothing, Zheng Chengxian in front of Zhang Fan is a living example, but his identity as Zheng Chengxian is there after all, he is not a child of a family, but a commoner, and he has relied on his own hard work to sit in today's position.

In the eyes of many people, even including himself, the position of the governor is almost the end of him, and it is not completely impossible to sit in the position of the governor, but the hope is really a little too small, so when Zhang Fan asked him if he wanted to, that momentary calmness made him consider this problem, and the previous excitement immediately dropped.

"Alas, Lord Zheng doesn't need to be presumptuous," Zhang Fan said with a smile, "And even if you look at it like this, Lord Zheng is not without opportunities,"

"Oh," hearing Zhang Fan say this, Zheng Chengxian was a little curious, "Please forgive the lower official for being stupid, and I hope that Lord Zhang will solve the confusion of the lower official,"

"Don't dare," Zhang Fan said, "What Lord Zheng is worried about, I also know in my heart, most of the governors and Tongzhi of the five armies are held by hereditary children, but the situation is a little different now, after the resignation of the national prince, the position of the governor of the rear army will be vacant, logically speaking, the rest of the children of the family should be selected to serve, but, Lord Zheng looks, who else."

"After Xu Zengshou, the second son of Xu Da, the Duke of Dingguo, Xu Wenbi is now leading the right army; The British Gong Zhang Rong, after Zhang Yu, is now leading the left army; After Chen Heng, Marquis of Ningyang, Chen Daji now leads the Chinese army; The front army is led by Liu Rong and Liu Yunzhong, Guangningbo, and the others are like the first order, and they have already been elected, in fact, there are very few people who can stand up and compete with Lord Zheng for this position, if Lord Zheng is interested, fight for it, and if you want to lead the rear army, there is no problem,"

Zhang Fan's words made Zheng Chengxian's thoughts, which had subsided just now, immediately rise again.

Seeing Zheng Chengxian like this, Zhang Fan was happy in his heart, although he didn't see Zheng Chengxian's true face clearly, but the so-called true face was actually not harmful, Zheng Chengxian just wanted to climb up with all his heart, and if he changed anyone in the court, why wasn't it.

Moreover, in Zhang Fan's view, the Fifth Army is indeed very important, and the other armies are led by hereditary children, and it is very difficult to intervene, but now Zheng Chengxian has given him a chance, and he does not seek to be able to completely control Zheng Chengxian, as long as it can affect him, it is enough.

"What's more, now Ling Qianjin is in the palace and by His Majesty's side," Zhang Fan said next, adding strength to him, "Maybe Lord Zheng doesn't know, but I know that there are a lot of rights and wrongs in that position, if Lord Zheng can lead the rear army, Ling Qianjin will be much better in the palace,"

Just as he said this, the team stopped, Zhang Fan let Zheng Chengxian think there, and rode to the front, Zhu Yijun's side.

Ahead, next to a tree, a deer is standing,
