Chapter 442: Runaway Slaves Return to the Nest Tiger

Chen Dingnan saw the old lady coming up in person, and hurriedly went over to stop him: "Why did you come up, your grandson is not filial, he actually alarmed you, it's too dangerous here, you better go back first." ”

While persuading, he said to his entourage: "Quick, help the old lady down!" ”

The old lady of the Chen family pushed Chen Dingnan away and glanced at him coldly: "Leave it all for me, a disaster that could have been avoided should be brought over by yourself, waste!" ”

Chen Dingnan's face changed, and a trace of unconvincing flashed in his eyes. But the old lady's prestige in the Chen family was too high, and he didn't dare to have the slightest disobedience. He knew that the old lady was blaming himself for not handling the matter properly, but he didn't feel that he was doing anything wrong. If you don't fight at the beginning, you will fall to the bottom of the Chen family's reputation. First the rebel army, and then the official army, capricious, wavering, I don't know how many people read the joke.

And even if he wants to surrender, what he plans is to resist for a while, so that the officers and soldiers outside the courtyard wall know that the Chen family is not easy to mess with, and if it is urgent, the losses of the officers and soldiers will not be small. The second is that he is conceited, and he will not surrender no matter what if he doesn't fight. In fact, Chen Dingnan has been holding the measure, if he hadn't kept the intention of retaining the way out, he wouldn't just stab the officer and army general and shoot it off Yuliang Road. With his martial arts, it is not difficult to kill Lu Fenghou.

"Not convinced?"

The old lady of the Chen family saw through Chen Dingnan's thoughts at a glance, but he didn't bother to say anything more. He walked a few steps to Yuliang Road, and then bowed deeply to Fang Jie, who had already come up slowly: "Old Chen Fu has seen the general!" The rebel son was rude and blocked the general, and the old man apologized for the rebel son! ”

Fang Xie walked up to Chen Fuxian and stood still, and glanced at the old man in front of him. From the old man's eyes, he could see that this was a man who had experienced strong winds and waves. Although he is already old, the wisdom in his eyes that has been precipitated over the years is still there, and he is not dim.

"At this time, you have descended, are you not afraid that I will slaughter you in anger?"

Fang asked.

Chen Fuxian lowered his head and said: "The old man knows that if he doesn't descend, the general's anger will be difficult to stop. It's a little late, but it can be remedied. It's all to blame for the old man who has ignored the family's affairs for many years, and they are all handed over to the rebel son Dingnan to take care of. If the old man knew that it was the imperial court and the heavenly army had arrived, he would have opened the door early to greet the general. ”

"There is no need to tell lies."

Fang Xie handed the Chaolu knife to Chen Xiaoru, who came up behind him, and glanced at the young man who was following behind Chen Fuxian. This person's face is as white as jade, his sword eyebrows are bright, but he is a sign of a young man. It's just that the anger between the eyebrows seems to be heavier, and there is also a lot of hostility in the eyes.

"Why are you holding my armies?"

Fang Xie looked directly into Chen Dingnan's eyes and asked.

Chen Dingnan raised his head and said, "I don't know how the general will react if the general's family is trapped?" In such a troubled world, how can I tell if it is an official or a thief? Chen just wants to protect the old and young of the family, and he hopes to offend General Haihan. ”

Fang Xie nodded, and then suddenly smashed a punch into Chen Dingnan's nose. Chen Dingnan was startled, and subconsciously raised his arms to seal them in front of his face. With a bang, Fang Jie's fist slammed into Chen Dingnan's arm, and Chen Dingnan leaned back and fell directly from the city wall. Rao is his cultivation is good, and he forcibly turned his body in mid-air and fell to the ground, but he still stumbled a few times and fell to the ground.

The two-zhang high courtyard wall, it is not easy for him to fall down and not break his bones.

"You don't have to be hypocritical and polite, and you don't have to say anything useless."

Fang Xie stood at the top of the wall and looked at the young man who was struggling to get up: "I have seen too many arrogant people in the capital, and you are not the only one." If you want to live, you want your Chen family to live, young and old, now it's time for your Chen family to bid for the code yourself. ”

Chen Fuxian's face changed, he didn't expect this young general to be so direct. He has had ups and downs in his life, and he has seen a lot of people in the official face, and it is the first time he has seen such a young and arrogant person. He quickly calculated it in his mind, and then said seriously to the other party: "The old man is willing to give half of the family property......

"That's what I meant to be."

Fang Xie looked at Chen Fuxian and said word by word: "But it's not enough now." ”

Chen Dingnan stood up under the courtyard wall, pointed at Fang Xie and said angrily: "What is this? Either you will kill our Chen family! ”

"Good"

Fang Xie replied lightly, then turned around and walked back: "I'll go down now and fight again." If you are not convinced, I will give you this chance, and if you can hold out until dark, I will immediately lead the troops and leave. If you can't persevere, the heads of hundreds of people up and down your Chen family will be hung on the wall of Qiu'an County early tomorrow morning. ”

"The general stays!"

Chen Fuxian walked a few steps, hesitated, and suddenly knelt down with his knees bent: "If you want to blame the old man, he is too arrogant and indulgent on weekdays, and the general should not be like him." The old man guessed...... The general came with his army, or went to the Wolf Milk Mountain to meet the men and horses of the king of Xujun? I have a lot of connections with King Xujun, princess...... She is the eldest daughter of an old man. ”

As soon as these words came out, Fang Jie's footsteps were paused.

"In that case, why did you surrender to the thief in the first place?"

Fang Xie turned to look at Chen Fuxian and asked.

"The old man is responsible for the hundreds of lives of the Chen family, and he is responsible for the century-old foundation of the Chen family, general...... Being in this place, there are many facts that I can't help myself. I once wrote a letter to send someone to the Wolf Milk Mountain to hand it over to the King of Xujun, and the prince knew that the old decay was also a last resort. In the past two years, I have sent people to send money and food to the prince many times, and I also asked the general to read it in the face of the prince and let my family go. ”

Fang Xie was silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "That's it...... In the future, the merits and demerits of your Chen family will have their own court decisions. ”

"Thank you, General!"

Chen Fuxian lowered his head, his eyes full of pain.

His eldest daughter married King Xujun, and his second daughter married Pei Guo, the county guard of Luojun. One fought against thieves in Wolf Milk Mountain, and the other followed Li Yuanshan to make trouble. His situation was extremely difficult.

……

……

"We have to rush to meet the king of Xujun, but there is not enough food and grass."

Fang Xie sat in the Chen family's living room, took a sip of tea and said, "Ten thousand horses and half a month's worth of grain and grass, I don't know if the Chen family can take it out." ”

Fang Xie didn't tell the truth, because after this battle, his men and horses couldn't hide their traces. Over-reporting and writing numbers made the rebels dare not pursue easily.

"Take it out!"

Chen Fuxian hurriedly said: "This is what my Chen family should do to serve the country. ”

Fang Xie snorted: "If you don't stop me, I won't kill anyone." But I lost hundreds of men, and your Chen family's private soldiers also lost more than half. Disasters that could have been avoided were provoked by the self-righteousness of some people. ”

"How do I know you're not going to kill?"

Chen Dingnan said: "Before the Mengyuan people broke the city, they also announced that they would not kill people, and the rebel bandits also said that they would not kill people, but now where in the three northwest provinces have fewer people dead?" ”

"Shut up"

Chen Fuxian rebuked coldly.

Chen Dingnan's two arms were swollen, and if Fang Xie hadn't retracted his strength, he would have broken his two arms with one punch. He was originally quite conceited, there was no one in Qiu'an County, or even in Luo County, who could compare with him, he was young, his martial arts cultivation was good, he was familiar with the art of war, and his reputation was outside. But now the person in front of him, who looks about the same age as himself, has led an army to fight behind enemy lines, and it is conceivable that he has a certain weight in the court and even in the eyes of His Majesty.

So he was a little unconvinced.

"If you don't kill the Chen family, it's not because you are willing to surrender, but because of King Xujun."

Fang Xie said indifferently: "When I first entered Chang'an to study at the Yanwu Academy, the prince took good care of me. Even before the prince led the troops to the west, he specially said goodbye to me. You're not dead yet, and you should be glad you came from. ”

Chen Dingnan said slightly angrily: "You just have a lot of soldiers!" ”

Fang Xie smiled and said, "I don't have time to discuss this with you, do you think that if you say this, I will fight you fairly?" People say that you are thin and talented, but you can't imagine such naivety. The knife in my hand is for killing, and my army is here to quell the rebellion, and you are angry? What's the difference between this and a child's house? ”

Chen Dingnan's face flushed, and he opened his mouth to say coward, but seeing the old lady's cold face, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

"I took the grain and grass from your Chen family, and I will naturally mention it when I report to the imperial court in the future. And if you stop the army of the court, this is a capital offense. ”

Fang Xie looked at Chen Dingnan and said, "Killing more than 100 of my subordinates is even more of a capital crime." ”

Chen Dingnan was shocked: "Do you want to regret it?" ”

Fang Xie stood up and hugged his fist towards Chen Fuxian: "Thank you for the grain and grass, but things are one thing at a time." I want to take away this grandson of yours, so I will be a military slave first, don't worry, I won't kill him for the sake of King Xujun's face. But if he wants to survive in the end, he has to rely on himself, and dozens of people under my command are folded in his hands, which is a debt of human life and must be repaid. ”

Fang Xie looked at Chen Dingnan and said: "From today on, you have to kill people to redeem your life, kill the rebels, kill the Mengyuan Tartars, when you kill enough two hundred people, I will exempt you from the status of a military slave." You don't have to look at me with that look, if you have the ability to resist. But you didn't, so now you can only listen and do it. ”

Chen Dingnan was furious, but was stopped by Chen Fuxian. The old man bowed deeply to Fang Jie: "The old man has thanked the general for his great kindness, and the Chen family will never forget it." ”

Fang Xie smiled, pointed at Chen Fuxian and said, "Your grandfather is wiser than you, you ...... A little clever, but in fact just a reckless man. ”

After saying this, Fang Xie turned around and left. Chen Dingnan glanced at Chen Fuxian in puzzlement, but saw that the old man looked at the back of the young general with great admiration.

"Why?"

He asked.

"Do you think Li Yuanshan will win?"

Chen Fuxian asked him.

Chen Dingnan shook his head: "Even if the counterinsurgency of the imperial court army will not go well, Li Yuanshan will not be able to win after all." ”

"Then the day of the emperor's great victory is the time when my Chen family is destroyed. So I thanked the talented general because he saved the only bloodline of my Chen family...... You. ”

"He saved me?"

Chen Dingnan pondered for a while, and suddenly understood: "Grandson understands!" ”

Fang Xie strode out of the Chen family's living room, and instructed as he walked: "Tie up Sun Kaidao, slap your mouth for thirty, put him in a cage, and if you beg for mercy, say a word and beat him in the mouth." ”

Chen Xiaoru was stunned, but he still agreed, turned around and left with a few flying fish robes, and soon Sun Kaidao's voice begging for mercy was heard: "General, I know that I am wrong!" ”

Fang Xie didn't pay any attention to it, and walked out of the Chen family's mansion quickly: "Bring grain and grass, and leave Qiu'an County immediately." ”

Zhuo Buyi followed behind him and asked puzzledly, "Why do you want to deal with Sun Kaidao?" ”

Fang Xie said as he walked: "You and I don't know that Chen Fuxian is the father-in-law of King Xujun, but does Sun Kaidao know the reason?" If he had said it beforehand, how could there be such a fight? went directly to the door to ask for a meeting, but it was not possible to borrow grain and grass. This man has to calculate everything, and if he doesn't kill the obscurity in his heart, he doesn't know what to do with his subordinates. ”

"Why don't you just kill him?"

Zhuo Buyi asked.

"Because he must have a reason to lie to me."

Fang Xie said as he walked: "He's not an idiot. ”

……

……

Just when Fang Xie led people out of Qiu'an County, thousands of miles away. Luo Yao, who was dressed in brocade, restrained his horse and looked at the people who stopped on the official road, his eyes were cold. This place is less than a hundred miles away from Yongzhou City, and the people who don't want him to go back have already waited here.

In front of him, there were hundreds of monks dressed in red robes.

Holding a golden ring ring knife, his face was expressionless.
