Chapter 1169: Trouble Again

Zhang Fan and other people. There are not many people. Plus, they're all on horseback. Although the distance from Chengdu Mansion to Yongning Mansion is not short. The journey along the way is not very easy to walk. But the group did not pause. So it didn't take much time. But even so. Wait until Zhang Fan and the others rushed to the vicinity of Yongning Mansion. It's already past the time of the child.

It's not a guest going anywhere. It's really not good to come at this time. Here now. Although the situation has stabilized. But as long as there is no withdrawal. Then it's still at war. Something like the hour. It's not too important.

Zhang Fan and the others came all the way to Liu Xian's camp not far outside the city of Yongning Mansion. And Liu Xian seems to have explained the matter of Zhang Fan's return here. Therefore, Zhang Fan and others arrived in front of the camp. Just identified identified. And the soldiers who were guarding the camp let them in.

Zhang Fan and others, who entered the camp, dismounted. Walk towards Liu Xian's big tent. I have no plans to go anywhere else. But Zhang Fan still slowed down. I began to observe.

What the hell is going on out there. Zhang Fan didn't know yet. But at the very least. Inside Liu Xian's camp. It seems to be very stable. Although Liu Xian has an army of forty or fifty thousand. And here in the camp there are only 5,000 people. It's just a 10% force. But these people are, after all, on the side of the main general. Their situation is rarely reflected. The general condition of Liu Xian's soldiers.

And in Zhang Fan's opinion. There seems to be no problem. Although said. They already know. This war. It is impossible to have any battles in place. But after all, that's just them. And the soldiers below did not know this. Not to mention. After Liu Xian received news from Liang Chao before. Act quickly. Immediately the army was marched out. Besieged Yongning Mansion. Now. The rebel army of 20,000 men was surrounded in the city of Yongning without leaking. This should have been a worrying thing. After all, siege warfare has always been the most casualty.

Not to mention. There were more than 20,000 enemy troops. There are tens of thousands of people among them. There is no shortage of relatives of these soldiers.

But. This should have been a tense situation. Although there are also in Liu Xian's camp. But it's not too serious.

Zhang Fan has come all the way. Naturally, you can also hear people worrying. It's not that they fear for the lives of those who are going to charge. Instead, they were worried about the people of the city. Even these soldiers, it seems. It is also understood that the general trend of this battle is over. There won't be too many battles anymore.

And in addition to these. Soldiers in Liu Xian's camp. Most of them are stable. No more worries and complaints. Even. There are also people gossiping. Talk about it. Complaining, complaining, not being able to go home for the New Year or something.

And Zhang Fan, who saw this situation. I was also relieved a lot.

Merely. With Zhang Fan's footsteps, he approached Liu Xian's camp. He also felt a strange atmosphere spreading.

Moreover. With this feeling. Zhang Fan is not alone. Even Wang Meng, who was beside him, felt something.

"Your Excellency. This shouldn't be ......" Wang Meng looked at Zhang Fan. Asked. "Do you mean ......?"

Zhang Fan nodded. said: "I'm afraid that's what happened. "It seems. Both of them thought the same thing.

What the hell is going on. Actually, it's already mentioned before. It's not that detailed, though. I said it before. Judging from the news sent back by Liu Xian. All in all. All twenty-five returned. Maybe someone was hurt. But none of the twenty-five were killed. But that's not the point. The focus is on the number of people who have returned. Twenty-five people.

Why do you say that. Think about it. Then. Zhang Fan sent Liang Chao and his party. There were also people from the Five Poisons Sect who went to Yongning Mansion to kill Daniel Zhang and Wang Xin. Sent by Zhang Fan. Liang Chao took nine people. There are also ten people from the Five Poisons Sect. It's a full twenty people.

And now. Twenty-five returned. Which are the five more?

Zhang Fan had been sent undercover to those two people earlier. There were three of them. Nature. These three people were of great help in this mission. And none of them died because of it. followed Liang Chao and them back intact. That's twenty-three.

And the Five Poisons Sect is over there. also rescued Fang Zhenqian. And they didn't go anywhere else. Instead, they came back with them. That's it. It's one more person. The total number has reached twenty-four.

But back to it. Not twenty-four. Rather, twenty-five. This number of people. It's nothing else. It's not that there are a lot of people. It doesn't matter if it's not accurate. That's all there is to it. One more or one less is wrong. That being the case. So who is this extra person?

But for this matter. Zhang Fan and Wang Meng are very clear. And. Now they feel something unusual here. Actually, it's because of that person.

Although I think this matter is really a bit troublesome. But Zhang Fan had already come to the front. There is no way to avoid it. He sighed helplessly. The curtain of Liu Xian's big tent was opened. Walked in.

In the big tent. Liu Xian sat facing the door. on his own place. Motionless. It was as if he was looking at something on the desk in front of him. But if you look closely. But it can be found. Liu Xian's appearance. There's something strange about it. There is a lot of helplessness. Even in this weather. There was still a trace of cold sweat on his forehead.

And in front of Liu Xian. It's two people. One is Liang Chao, who Zhang Fan was very worried about before.

After seeing Liang Chao. Zhang Fan also found out. He didn't have anything to do at all. The complexion is also very good. Said before. Liang Chao was also injured. But now it is not visible. Thinking about it, it is really as Wang Meng said. Liang Chao was not seriously injured. It's just some skin trauma. I'm afraid it's because it's cold. Quite a few clothes to wear. That's just not to see. Anyway, though. In short, Liang Chao's situation made Zhang Fan feel relieved.

But after being relieved. Zhang Fan noticed the weirdness of the atmosphere here. Previously outside the Big Tent. He and Wang Meng already felt this atmosphere. But wait until you get into the big tent. This eerie atmosphere has not become more intense. Instead, it came straight in the face.

And apparently. Liang Chao alone has no way to create this kind of atmosphere. He didn't have to. And. Liang Chao naturally couldn't make this kind of atmosphere with Liu Xian. So there was another man standing in front of him. Fang Yueling.

Now. Liang Chao and Fang Yueling were so hostile to each other. But they are completely blind to external objects. Even Zhang Fan walked in. The two of them even knew that someone had come in. But I didn't see who it was. Still so hostile to each other.

See this. Zhang Fan only felt a headache. Although on the road when the time. He could already have predicted that this would be the case. But when I really saw it. I just feel more troublesome.

There was one man. For Zhang Fan, he did not ignore it at all. Even. He was very interested in Zhang Fan being able to come at this time. I couldn't be happier. This person. Naturally, it was Liu Xian.

"Lord Zhang. You're here. I saw Zhang Fan walking in. Liu Xian hurriedly stood up. I greeted him very warmly. Speaking of which. Liu Xian's performance today is also enough to illustrate. The hostility between Liang Chao and Fang Yueling. It's come to this point.

To know. Liu Xian is a military general. And it's always been in that kind of strong way. It stands to reason that it should be said. For things like the hostility between Liang Chao and Fang Yueling. It shouldn't have been possible to make him what he is now. But. Now Liu Xian saw Zhang Fan coming. But it's like seeing a savior. It can be seen that Liang Chao and Fang Yueling are in this period of time. In the end, what kind of hostility has come to Chengdu.

"General Liu." Although Zhang Fan paid attention to the things over there. But Liu Xian's words. He's still going to respond. "After I received the message from General Liu. I was going to leave right away. Didn't think of it. At that time, it happened that the holy decree of the imperial court also arrived. So I'm missing some time. This is the time to come. I also ask General Liu to forgive me. ”

"Oh. It doesn't matter. After all, it is the Holy Decree that matters. Liu Xian heard Zhang Fan say this. also changed his face. Asked. "I don't know. What is said in this decree. ”

"Nothing." Zhang Fan explained. "The court asked me to preside over this time. But General Liu doesn't have to worry. I, Zhang Fan, have read a few military books. But knowing that arranging troops is definitely not my strong point. So I'm not going to interfere with General Liu. I'm just in charge of post-war things. ”

"Nope. I didn't mean it that way. Liu Xian waved his hand. Said. "I naturally understand that Master Zhang will not be like this. Besides. Nowadays anyway. Just don't do anything too much. I'm afraid I can't fight even if I want to. ”

"That's true." Zhang Fan said. "Still. This cannot be delayed for too long. After all, there are still tens of thousands of people in the city. Now those people are surrounded by General Liu's army. Under the panic. Don't do anything. That's too bad. So. Let's try to settle the matter here as soon as possible. ”

"What Mr. Zhang said is good. I'm worried about that right now, too. Liu Xian said this. But he looked at Liang Chao and Fang Yueling on the side. He sighed helplessly. said to Zhang Fan again. "Still. Now it's better to solve the matter in front of you. ”

"This is natural. Please rest assured, General Liu. Zhang Fan looked confident.

"Ugh." sighed. Liu Xian, who wanted to say something. looked at Zhang Fan. looked at Liang Chao and Fang Yueling again. In the end, nothing was said. Turned around and left.
