Zhang Fan went to the house of Mungendurak the next day, and said that he had taken a fancy to the daughter of one of his guards, and begged him to let the guard give her to him. Zhang Fan's eager expression seemed to have been completely fascinated by Yingyue, but he was not pretentious at all. If it hadn't been for the anger a long time ago, even Wang Meng would have almost thought that Zhang Fan had moved his true feelings.

For Zhang Fan, no matter what reason Li Yingyue approached him, being favored by a delicate woman, no matter which man it is, there will definitely be that machismo in his heart, and it is normal to be a little fluttering. Zhang Fan thought that since Li Yingyue wanted to stay by his side for a long time, he couldn't find out what she wanted to do for a while, so it was better to follow her heart first, and let her let down her defense for the time being. It's just that Zhang Fan is a fan of the authorities, so he didn't think about what to do if he really had a secret affection for her.

Li Yingyue's "father" is a standard Tatar man, although he is middle-aged, his body is very strong, and he is obviously a brave and good fighter. After meeting Zhang Fan, this man first showed his disdain for Zhang Fan, and then agreed very "reluctantly" under Yingyue's resolute expression and Meng Gen's persuasion. It's just that the salivation in the eyes that happened to look at Yingyue completely exposed his heart. Zhang Fan, who watched it, sighed that this acting skill was really not professional enough.

Before the 17th century, marriage was very casual. Li Yingyue and her "mother" insisted that Yingyue follow Zhang Fan back to Daming before getting married, and Zhang Fan followed her will. However, this Li Yingyue is very enthusiastic, and she always stays at Zhang Fan's place until late before leaving, and the two of them are really sweet and sweet couples in the eyes of outsiders.

The envoys of the Ministry of Rites and the accompanying businessmen all came to congratulate Zhang Fan on finding a partner in a different place, and even I sent someone to congratulate him. Zhang Fan specially held a banquet in the camp where he lived, which was regarded as thanking everyone for their blessings, and invited Yingyue's "family" to come, and even took it with him.

After this family affair was decided, Yingyue was more like a demon sticking to Zhang Fan all day long. There is no rule here that the two are not allowed to meet before they get married. Zhang Fan was not disgusted, and tried his best to show his joy. In this way, a fake love affair began, but it made people feel a little relieved in this increasingly severe situation.

Unconsciously, it was almost February, but Zhang Fan and others had been here for nearly half a month. Wang Xilie is still dealing with me answer, always entangled in some things that are not painful and cannot be left to talk, although I answer and others are anxious, but there is nothing they can do.

On this day, Yingyue accompanied Zhang Fan to reluctantly go back very late, and Zhang Fan specially sent someone to escort him. As soon as Yingyue left, someone entered Zhang Fan's tent.

The person who came was Zhao Ming, he looked at Zhang Fan and joked: "My lord is really a good blessing, I am afraid that such a woman is very difficult to find in a place where all the beauties in the south of the Yangtze River gather." How is it, have you ever tasted her, have you lost your soul? After speaking, his face showed a unique ** expression of a man who could understand at a glance.

Zhang Fan glanced at him angrily and said, "Zhao Qianhu, don't make fun of it." Even though I'm a man, it's really unbearable, but I don't know if she's an enemy or a friend, how can I do that? ”

"Your Excellency's words are wrong." Zhao Ming said, "Whether she is an enemy or a friend, since she is sent to the door, there is no reason not to accept it!" What's more, adults don't suffer! ”

Zhang Fan coughed helplessly, hurriedly changed the topic, and said, "Zhao Qianhu, come to me so late, but there is something important?" ”

Zhao Ming also immediately put on a correct posture and said: "My lord, after receiving the news from the imperial court, after the first assistant of the cabinet, Lord Gao Gonggao and the second assistant Zhang Juzheng, Lord Zhang, plus the governor of Xuanda, Wang Chonggu, and the governor of Datong, Fang Feng, played at the right time, the emperor surrendered Han Naji, treated his entourage well, and awarded the title of commander of Han Naji. ”

"Good boy, commander, one of the three local divisions!" Zhang Fan exclaimed, then thought of Zhao Ming's words just now, and hurriedly asked: "The first assistant of the cabinet is Gao Gong!?" ”

"Your Excellency heard me right." Zhao Ming immediately said, "Elder Xu Ge has returned to his hometown, and the emperor has re-activated the high arch, and now it is already full of trouble." Gao Gong is in power this time, and many officials who have had gaps with him before are afraid of his revenge, and I heard that one has been scared to death, but now people are panicking. ”

When Zhang Fan heard the news, he was slightly distracted. Regardless of the changes that Gao Gong will bring to the stage, Xu Jie, his biggest obstacle, has disappeared silently. Could it be that the aura of the protagonist in the crossing novel that he has read before, Zhang Fan doesn't think so, he always believes that history will not be changed so easily, he is not familiar with this history, he believes that no matter whether he comes to this era or not, no matter how the world changes, since Xu Jie is at this time, there must be its inevitability. After a while, Zhang Fan came back to his senses and asked with some concern, "Your Majesty just doesn't ask?" ”

"Your Majesty didn't ask anything." Zhao Ming said, "Your Majesty seems to have some intention of watching the fire from the other side. ”

When Zhang Fan heard him say this, he suddenly thought that his teacher Zhang Juzheng had told him that Longqing wanted to have a big blood change, and he couldn't help but be relieved. Longqing is now using Gao Gong's hand to transform the team at all levels of the imperial court. However, Zhang Fan immediately put his mind at ease, as soon as Zhang Fan and Gao Gong had no conflict, if there was a relationship, both of them were Xu Jie's enemies, but they became cordial; Second, Zhang Fan only said that Longqing intended to promote himself, and the vacuum of power in the court would inevitably increase the power of the people below, at least it was a good thing for Zhang Fan.

Zhang Fan flashed these news in his mind, so he didn't think about it anymore and asked about the current matter: "What did you say about Hannaji?" ”

"This matter has been widely announced to the world by the imperial court, and the messenger sent by the emperor to deliver a message to me has already set out on the road." Zhao Ming replied.

"In this way, it will be clear what I will do." Zhang Fan muttered to himself.

On the second day, Yingyue came to look for Zhang Fan again, and the better the two of them went to enjoy the scenery of the desert. Just as he was about to go out, Zhang Fan was stopped by someone.

Zhang Fan looked at the visitor suspiciously, a young man dressed as a Tatar guard. The young man said to Zhang Fan very respectfully in Chinese, "Lord Zhang, we have an invitation in vain, and I hope you can go." ”

"What is the Khan looking for me?" Zhang Fan was very puzzled.

The young man said, "The Khan did not say it explicitly, but invited the adults to go, so he will naturally know." ”

Zhang Fan listened to his words and knew that he had to go, so he looked at Yingyue with apologetic eyes. Yingyue nodded very softly, her eyes showing understanding.

Zhang Fan followed the man to the camp where the Altan army was stationed, and the sentry at the gate saw that the young man had no intention of stopping him, so he let him go directly, and even Zhang Fan, a Han man who followed him, did not have the slightest intention of asking. Zhang Fan saw that many soldiers looked at the young man with respect in their eyes, and couldn't help but be interested in him.

When he came to the tent, the young man did not stop at all, lifted the curtain and walked in, and Zhang Fan had to follow him into the tent. As my dwelling, it was very large, with a thick carpet on the floor, and a bonfire burning in the center of the tent, which was very warm. It was surrounded by bows and arrows, war knives and other utensils, and even a sheep's skull.

Inside the big tent, there is a big case facing the tent door, and behind the case, an old man with a face like a flower armor sits there, his face is very energetic, and he can't see a trace of old age. As soon as Zhang Fan saw him, he was sure that the old man in front of him was the same person who pretended to be Huang Taiji's guard that day, although the clothes were different and the momentum was completely different, Zhang Fan still recognized it at a glance.

The young man came to the old man very respectfully, knelt down on one knee, and said, "Respected Lord Tu Khan, *** was ordered to bring the Ming Dynasty's envoy Zhang Fan Zhang. ”

"Well, let's go down." I replied, and my voice was very calm.

After retreating, the scene was very silent, and Zhang Fan took the lead in speaking: "Zhang Fan, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, has met Lord Tu Khan." ”

I replied and greeted him warmly: "I heard that Lord Zhang plans to marry a girl from the Tatar tribe, congratulations, but I hope that Lord Zhang will be kind and loving." ”

"It's nature." Zhang Fan was a little embarrassed, as soon as he met someone these days, he talked about it to him, he hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Is the *** who led the way for the little envoy the escort of Tu Khan?" I think he is very respected in the barracks, and he must be a famous general! ”

"He's a slave." I replied suddenly, with a hint of smugness in her tone, and said, "His mother is an ordinary woman of a tribe who was wiped out because she was not fit to survive, and she became the plaything of the warriors of the victorious tribe, serving men like a **, without the slightest complaint, nor the slightest resistance, otherwise she will be greeted not only with a leather whip and no food, but also by more men." His father, who was unknown, was one of the people who played with his mother, who was marked as a slave at birth, treated as a wild seed, ridiculed by everyone, and even his own mother hated him for taking his share of food. But he was not ashamed, and he proved himself to be a true Mongolian warrior with his body and determination. In a scuffle with other tribes, he was meant to be at the forefront as a slave, but not only did he survive, but he also cut off the head of the other party's leader with his own hands, and no one looked down on him after that. I gave him the name '***' to praise him for his contribution to the tribe, and also to let others know that even the most humble slave can become a master. ”

Zhang Fan knew that the "they" I said were only satirizing the harsh rituals of the Ming Dynasty, but he didn't refute it, but asked with some doubts: "He has the mark of a slave on his body, isn't he afraid of other people's jokes." ”

"Joke, who dares?" I replied with some contempt, as if mocking Zhang Fan, "That mark is the driving force of his life's struggle, even if he can erect a banner in the future and be called 'Khan', that mark will accompany him throughout his life and become his most precious thing." ”

Zhang Fan listened to his words and was silent for a while. This world is the world of survival of the fittest and the jungle, this is the case with the Ming Dynasty and the Tatars. It's just that here, everything is so natural, so obvious, and not contrived at all. Zhang Fan didn't want to discuss this issue, and asked, "Tu Khan summoned the little envoy this time, I don't know what happened?" ”

"You Southern Dynasty people are really hypocritical, don't you know what I'm looking for you?" I replied.

"The little envoy has some understanding in his heart, but he can't see the whole picture, and he hopes that the little envoy will solve his doubts." Zhang Fan said.

"Put the Han ......," Tu Khan said this name, no longer the majesty of the moment, but there was a trace of hesitation, "My grandson Khan has been made a commander by your emperor. ”

"Tu Khan is very well informed." Zhang Fan said, "But isn't this in vain Khan forcing his grandson away?" ”

"Alas!" I replied with a long sigh and said helplessly, "It's not to blame Khan, it's because I am famous for being a murderer on weekdays, but I have an estrangement from my family." This stupid boy, after all, I am his Oh Berg (grandfather), how could I be cruel to him! ”

"It's not that the Khan himself wants to occupy his granddaughter-in-law." Zhang Fan said without hesitation.

"That's not the case." I replied a little helplessly, "If it were really me, I wouldn't have escaped." Last year I did marry a woman, but I didn't know that she was betrothed to the leader of another tribe, so I had no choice but to find a woman to avoid a war between the two tribes. The stunned boy Khan refused, I was going to find someone else, but this kid thought I was going to do it, so he ran away with his family. ”

Zhang Fan almost laughed out loud when he heard his words, thinking that both his grandfather and grandson were bastards. But after thinking about it in a blink of an eye, it became clear that the fierce name of Tu Khan was all over the Tatars, and even the Ming court had heard of it, and his grandson was naturally afraid. However, Zhang Fan was a little puzzled and asked, "What does Tu Khan want to ask?" ”

"I want to ask, is it okay to sweat over there." I replied, after all, it is my own grandson, how can I not care.

When Zhang Fan saw his expression, he immediately said: "Please rest assured, Khan is of great use to our country, whether it is sincere or false, he will not be treated badly." ”

"This ...... I'm relieved. I replied that when I heard Zhang Fan say it very sincerely, I was relieved.

"Tu Khan is so nervous about his grandson, isn't he afraid that Hannaji doesn't understand you, but he is bent on taking revenge on you?" Zhang Fan asked.

"No, although Khan is my own grandson, he is kind and kind-hearted, and he will never go against me." I replied.

"In this way, the Khan should be even more vigilant." Zhang Fan said, "My identity must be clear to the sweat, so there is no need to hide it anymore, let's open the skylight and say something." I really want to reopen the mutual market with you, not only for the sake of profit, but also for the stability of the people. However, we also know that since last year, when Lord Tu Khan sent a large army south to invade our country, there must be people within you who are dissatisfied with Tu Khan who want to take advantage of this opportunity. I am afraid that the grandson of the Khan will not rhyme with the world and be used by people with a heart. ”

I replied to Zhang Fan's words and frowned, he knew his grandson's personality, he was very gentle, and he was also very soft-hearted, and he was very easy to be moved...... Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a chill down my spine and shed a cold sweat.

"Thank you for being honest, and let me think about it." I replied.

Seeing his appearance, Zhang Fan said with interest: "Since this is the case, I will retire." If there is anything to do, he can send someone to call Zhang Fan. After that, seeing that I was thinking, Zhang Fan automatically retreated.

has been waiting outside the tent, and when he saw Zhang Fan coming out, he didn't speak, and motioned for him to follow him.

Zhang Fan followed him, looking at his tall figure, thinking of what happened to me to tell him, he seemed to want to say something. But until he left the camp and returned to his station, he did not say a word. "Perhaps, I am not qualified to tell him those big truths at all." Zhang Fan looked at the back of *** leaving, and thought in his heart.
