Chapter 1254: Yongning South Gate

Early the next morning, when the hour was just over the hour, someone came to inform Zhang Fan, saying that Mu Changzuo, the Duke of Qianguo, and his party were about to arrive, and there were still a few miles to go to the south gate of Yongning Mansion.

For this news, this city is naturally relatively big news, for the people, this is nothing, at most there is a big man who has nothing to do with their lives, but for other people, such as Zhang Fan and them, for example, the officials in Yongning Mansion, Mao Zhengqing, and for people like Ding Youyang, this matter is naturally impossible to be dismissed with a big man.

You must know that Mu Changzuo's identity may be placed elsewhere, and people's thoughts of him are just a grandfather of a country, even if he has heavy troops, even if he guards Yunnan, even most people have to respect him very much, but that's all.

However, this is not another place, this is Yunnan, it is the place where Mu Changzuo is guarded as the Duke of Qianguo, if you really think about it, he is higher than the general army of a province in Yunnan, or the status of the governor, in this Yunnan, even if there is no name, but he is a well-deserved uncrowned king, the officials here, don't bow down to him.

Therefore, Mu Changzuo's arrival really affected many people, especially those who were originally in Yongning Mansion.

Mao Zhengqing and those people naturally don't need to say it, Mao Zhengqing is the prefect of Yongning Mansion, and the others are also officials at all levels of Yongning Mansion, now that Mu Changzuo has arrived, no matter what, they will also be nervous, this is not because they have done anything wrong, the subordinates always seem to be like this for each pair of superiors, even if you do well on weekdays, but when it comes to facing it, you will still be nervous, this kind of thing, from ancient times to the present, and then to the future, will not change.

And Zhang Fan and they are relatively calm, after all, they have discussed this matter, what should be done, they already have a general idea, even if this idea is not too complete now, not perfect, there will definitely be some flaws or flaws, but after all, there is not much time, it is not easy to discuss to this point, now, Zhang Fan and them, in addition to coping, the most important thing is to be calm, if you can't calm down, many things, no matter how good the plan is, when the time comes, there will be temporary changes, and there is nothing that can be done.

Therefore, Zhang Fan and the others, although there have been changes in Mu Changzuo's arrival, their overall performance is relatively calm, and there is no big movement, and it looks like it is just a routine appearance.

However, there is another group of people who are different from Mao Zhengqing or Zhang Fan, and this is naturally the group headed by Ding Youyang.

Speaking of which, Zhang Fan understands that maybe it is Ding Youyang, maybe it is some good thing, he must have told Mu Changzuo what happened between himself and Ding Youyang before, otherwise, Mu Changzuo would not have chosen to come over when Zhang Fan was still in Yongning, after all, as the Duke of Qianguo, he guarded Yunnan, and now this kind of rebellion has happened on the boundary of Yunnan, but he is indifferent, and even the final settlement of this matter depends on Liu Xian and Zhang Fan, who came from Sichuan.

If it is seriously investigated, he Mu Changzuo is derelict in his duties, and now, Zhang Fan has not looked for him, he should be honest, wait until Zhang Fan leaves, and come over now, wouldn't it just remind Zhang Fan that he has not fulfilled his duties.

And Mu Changzuo is indeed here now, which means that there is something in Yongning Mansion that he must come over now, so no matter how you look at it, it is all because of Ding Youyang.

And Ding Youyang's people are naturally full of joy about Mu Changzuo's arrival, and they don't care about other people, let's just talk about Ding Youyang, in Ding Youyang's view, his grandfather and son-in-law, rushed to Yongning Mansion at this time, definitely not for anything else, but to help him, the old man, vent his anger and save face.

Speaking of which, when Ding Youyang was first frustrated, he was indeed very resentful of Zhang Fan in his heart, but he didn't get to this point now, but when he was the second time, his simple plan was simply resolved by Zhang Fan, although Ding Youyang didn't suffer any revenge that time, but he was even more resentful of Zhang Fan, hatred had blinded his eyes, he couldn't figure out what Zhang Fan's identity represented, and he didn't know that even if it was his son-in-law of the grandfather of the country, may not be able to restrain Zhang Fan, he just wants to save face for himself.

Speaking of which, many people are like this, obviously they should understand, compared to such things as face, more practical things should be more important, such as power, such as money, for example, life, but many people actually can't see this layer, they will only be confused by the superficial things, only care about the superficial things, but they can't see those practical things that are more meaningful to themselves.

However, these don't need to be discussed now, in short, Mu Changzuo's arrival made the group headed by Ding Youyang quite excited, and they all felt that their time was coming, and they all felt that Zhang Fan would inevitably apologize to his group with humiliation, of course, there were still a lot of compensation.

So, a group of people who were nervous, a group of people who were calm, and a group of people who were in the excitement stage, were now all gathered at the south gate, waiting for Mu Changzuo's arrival.

At this time, Ding Youyang and those people still have to say something, Mao Zhengqing's group naturally doesn't need to say it, all the people have a nervous look on their faces, which makes people understand at a glance that they obviously don't know how to deal with what will happen next, they don't know how to speak, and even they don't know how to greet this Qianguo Gong, but when it comes to these people's worries, it's really superfluous, they don't have to worry about these things at all, after all, no matter how they think, Mu Changzuo will come to Yongning Mansion, and it will definitely not be for them, perhaps, he will say hello to them, but it is absolutely impossible to say anything more to them.

And Zhang Fan and the others stood calmly in place, he had already thought of some ways to deal with Mu Changzuo, and now they just need to calm down and deal with Mu Changzuo.

However, only the group of people led by Ding Youyang, not to mention the excitement now, can simply describe these people with flying eyebrows, although they are not dancing happily, but several people are nervous, not to mention the happy looks, and they are still talking about something with each other.

In particular, they will occasionally see Zhang Fan coming here, and when they see Zhang Fan, they have a calm face, but for them, Zhang Fan and they are completely pretending to be calm, and then, these people will start to laugh at Zhang Fan and them, although they speak very quietly in this regard, and they can't hear it at all, but look at their appearance here for a while, it is clear that they are talking about what to laugh at Zhang Fan, and they are discussing the ugly situation that Zhang Fan will encounter.

Seeing the appearance of this group of people, Zhang Fan and they didn't say anything, and they wouldn't say anything to them, even if Mu Changzuo's people haven't arrived now, nothing has happened, but not only Zhang Fan, as long as they see the appearance of Ding Youyang's group, they all have the same idea in their hearts, and they all feel that they are simply equivalent to clowns.

However, obviously, it is absolutely impossible for these people to use this kind of consciousness now, and even, I am afraid that others will clearly tell them that their current appearance is really unsightly, but for them, it is absolutely impossible to recognize them, and even more likely, they are more likely to say that they are just jealous of them.

As a result, the south gate of Yongning Mansion has become such a strange appearance, three parties, one of them is awkward, not knowing what to do, the other two, one side is waiting very calmly, and the other side is constantly provoking something.

Finally, after a while, they received the news that the other party had arrived, and after a while, about halfway through, Zhang Fan and the others could see a group of people walking slowly from the official road in the south.

When the other party got a little closer, Zhang Fan and they saw very clearly, there were about more than 100 people who came, all of them were sergeants, and the service they wore looked different from the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, but even if Zhang Fan had never seen it, but the maverick sergeant, as well as the banners of "Qian" and "Mu", could already show that these people were naturally soldiers under the Duke of Qian, no, it should be more appropriate to say that they were soldiers under the command of General Zhengnan.

And in the middle of the hundred guards, there are two carriages, the current one, but nothing special, although it is not very clear, but Zhang Fan can be sure that the carriage is definitely not a precious thing, at least it is not the identity of Mu Changzuo's Qianguo Gong.

Seeing this, Zhang Fan had some ideas, and he didn't know if Mu Changzuo was really living a low-key life, or if he was doing this in order to deal with today's situation.

However, there is another one behind this carriage, and that one looks like it is ridden by a woman, and behind Mu Changzuo, the identity is already very obvious, naturally it is his wife, and it seems that Mu Changzuo also brought his wife here.

Thinking of this, Zhang Fan couldn't help but turn his head to look at Ding Youyang, and sure enough, Ding Youyang was smiling, and his smile was even brighter than just now.
