The dinner was extremely rich, whether it was the group that followed Li Qing from Chang'an City, or the generals at Jianmen Pass, both sides were extremely happy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Jianmen Pass, General's Mansion, in the room of the Jianmen guard, looking at the housekeeper in front of him, the Jianmen guard at this moment put away the smile that was always on his face, and said with a serious face: "Everything is arranged?" ”

The sword gate guard asked, and the housekeeper hurriedly said: "All in accordance with the general's orders, Shouwang and the others' search for purchasing agents have all been promoted to the highest standard, everything is completely in accordance with their requirements, as for those Tsing Yi warriors, our people can't get close to them at all, they are very cautious, and even in my general's mansion, their protection of Shouwang and others is still pervasive!" I really don't believe that anyone dares to act recklessly and assassinate my prince of the Tang Dynasty in front of my five thousand sword gate defenders. The implication is that the butler seems to be very dissatisfied with the Tsing Yi warrior guarding himself and the others so much.

Waving his hand to stop the butler's complaints, the sword gate guard said quietly: "Since this is the case, then don't bother them, so as not to show favor and be hated by others, but the protection of the periphery still has to be done, if you arrive at my general's mansion, the safety of His Royal Highness King Shou must be maintained by others, even if you can afford to lose this person, this general can't afford to lose this person."

The housekeeper just wanted to speak again, but was interrupted by a knock on the door, followed by Mu Fan's voice: Father, Mu Fan is here! ”

The sword gate guard motioned for the housekeeper in front of him to leave, and then said, "Come in!" ”

As soon as the voice fell, Mu Fan pushed the door in, found a wooden chair to sit down at random, and said suspiciously: "I don't know what happened to my father looking for me late at night?" Tomorrow, the child will follow His Royal Highness King Shou to Chengdu, and now everything is not ready, my father will make a long story short! ”

As a father, he naturally understands his son's impatient temperament very well, looking at Mu Fan with an impatient face in front of him, the sword gate guard does not care, everything can be impatient, for his son's character, the sword gate guard has been trying to guide, but it has always had little effect.

Thinking of the purpose of this time, the Sword Gate guard was no longer entangled here, and said directly: "This time I followed His Royal Highness King Shou into Chengdu Mansion, I don't know what your plans are?" ”

Seeing that his father called him in late at night to ask such a wonderful question, although Mu Fan was depressed, but after all, the person in front of him was his old man, Mu Fan had no choice but to say: "What can I plan, naturally everything is to obey King Shou and completely obey the arrangements of His Royal Highness King Shou!" Why did my father ask this? ”

Regarding his son's answer, the Sword Gate guard smiled helplessly, and said in another way: "As far as you see today, what do you think of this Shou King!"

It seems that he has long been accustomed to his father's jumping questions, Mu Fan said lightly: "According to my observation, His Royal Highness King Shou is a "hidden and promising" King Shouwang, who has been together for a long time, but he can have such an understanding of Li Qing, and Mu Fan also has a unique way of looking at people. And there is no concealment of his appreciation for King Shou in his words.

Young man's temperament, like is like, don't like is not like, Mu Fan young general naturally has some ambitions, it is not easy to get his approval, but in other words, as long as he is recognized, he will admire this person from the bottom of his heart, and willingly do something for him!

didn't explain the reason to his son, the Jianmen guard said bluntly: "Go to Chengdu, keep an eye on everything, after all, Chengdu Mansion is not as good as Jianmen Pass, there is a father's care in Jianmen Pass, you can freely display your talents, without worrying about the slightest depression and jealousy!" ”

But Chengdu Mansion, the officialdom is complicated, where is the person who holds the real power in terms of status and power, even if it is your father, I will be ashamed, and the son of the sword gate guard can only save your life when necessary, but you must always understand: Mu Xiu is in the forest, and the wind will destroy it! “

Sometimes, if a person shows too many talents that should not be shown when it is unnecessary, he will often make others jealous, thus threatening his own life. In every word, it reveals the father's deepest concern for a son.

Seems to be uncomfortable with his father praising others in front of him, Mu Fan pursed the corners of his lips, although he admired Li Qing very much, but still pretended to be disdainful and said: "What's so great about him, it's just that he is two or three years older than me, and he has an advantage in age, and when I reach his age, I will definitely be more "mature" than him."

Regarding his son's disobedience, the sword gate guard smiled, and after a while, he said solemnly: "There is one thing you have to remember, that is, although you have to carry out King Shou's orders, you must firmly grasp the command of this thousand army at all times!" ”

Feeling dissatisfied with his father's words, Mu Fan argued with reason: "Why did my father say this, His Royal Highness King Shou is now the Jiedu envoy of Jiannan Dao, whether it is the army or the finances, it must be under the command of His Royal Highness Shouwang, but now my father wants me to firmly grasp the command of this thousand army, so that His Royal Highness Shouwang will become a festival envoy in name!" ”

I remember that just now in the main hall, my father said in person: "I am willing to use the five thousand sword gate defenders to become a solid backing for His Royal Highness King Shou, and I am even more loyal to His Royal Highness King Shou, is this the kind of allegiance now?" It was his father who sat opposite in time, but seeing that his father was so greedy for power and self-respecting, Mu Fan was even more angry.

Mu Fan is not a young man who has nothing to do, on the contrary, for some border generals who support their own troops, they still obey the will of the imperial court on the surface, but in fact, they always obey the yang and yin, and they are short of two catties and two pounds, these Mu Fan are very clear, but Mu Fan doesn't want his father to be such a person.

Mu Fan's ideal is to be a general like Wang Zhonghe, not a general who holds a lot of power but does nothing. The reason why Wang Zhongsi is admired is not only because of his brilliant military achievements and handsome life, but also because of his personal qualities.

On the frontier, he still obeys the king's affairs; He has a heavy army but is not arrogant; , hang the four towns and festivals, control the territory of thousands of miles but always worry about the country, loyal to the country, such a character is worth Mu Fan's lifelong pursuit, Mu Fan wants not only the exciting military feats, but also the ambition and pride of "the king of the world, winning the name before and after his death".

The sword gate guard stood up and said without embarrassment: "Your dream, you think that your father doesn't know, but what you think is too simple after all, if I don't have these five thousand elites in my hands, do you think that Shouwang will be so important to you, my father and son?" Although you have military talents, if it weren't for my son, do you think that King Shou would have named you "Captain Guoyi" as soon as he came up?

The continuous rhetorical questions made De Mufan speechless.

stepped forward, patted Mu Fan on the shoulder, and the sword gate guard said with a little solemnity: "Father knows that you have ambitions, but no matter when, you must understand that all dreams are based on power, especially in the army, which is a more realistic place."

But there are some things that you may not understand now, but you are my only son, and it is for your good to be a father at all times! ”

Mu Fan, who originally wanted to refute again, when he saw a few strands of gray hair on his father's head, Mu Fan retreated and chose to obey.

It seems that he doesn't want to dwell on this issue anymore, the sword gate guard looked at Mu Fan who was sitting, and said: "Today's battle, you must already know something about the skills of the Tsing Yi warriors, I don't know what you think of them?" ”

Father's inquiry, Mu Fan replied directly: "Their strength is unfathomable, according to my observation, the Tsing Yi warriors who fought with me today are estimated to be the lowest level of existence among King Shou's personal guards, I believe that King Shou's forbearance character will never expose his true strength to others without knowing the situation."

Moreover, when they fought with me, they had already suffered a lot of injuries, and if it weren't for that, it would be really hard to say whether they would have won or lost today. Mu Fan said with a solemn face.

Seeing that Mu Fan, who had always been above the top, recognized the Tsing Yi warrior so much, the sword gate guard had some calculations in his heart, and said with a smile: "It's not early, tomorrow you have to follow His Royal Highness King Shou to Chengdu, go down and rest now!" But, remember, what I said! ”
