In the military tent, there was silence, and many weapons were placed on both sides of the entrance.

A sheepskin map of the Taihu region, tied with hemp rope, hangs on a wooden shelf facing the entrance to the military tent.

In front of this parchment map, there stood a man.

This person was not wearing armor, but wearing a Confucian robe, not like a warrior, but like a scribe. This person's name is Fan Chengfang, who is less than forty, and is now in charge of the Taihu Army with the rank of the fourth rank of strong general.

After Fan Chengfang saw Cui Lingwei, he frowned slightly, and then he said to the left and right: "You all go out, and you are not allowed to come in without my orders." ”

When the sergeant in the tent heard this, he immediately did as he commanded. Retreat in an orderly manner.

Fan Chengfang sat on the main seat in the tent, he pointed to the chair on the side, and said to Cui Lingwei, "Sit down." ”

Cui Lingwei bowed slightly, walked to his bottom and sat down. And Wei Jue also followed her and came there, and he was still playing the role of Cui Lingwei's servant.

After Cui Lingwei sat down, Fan Chengfang asked unhurriedly, "Ling Wei, but the handsome man asked you to come?" ”

"No, it's me who came to ask Shibo for help, and Grandpa doesn't know." Cui Lingwei answered truthfully, she used her original voice.

After hearing this, Fan Chengfang said kindly: "Since you have arrived at Shibo, Shibo will definitely help you." Say, what is it? As he spoke, a shallow smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he looked at Cui Lingwei with a caring look.

He has a family relationship with the Cui family, and according to his feelings, he can be regarded as Cui Lingwei's uncle.

Afterwards, Cui Lingwei told the matter of the Yang Sanjia again.

She listened to Wei Jue about this matter, and now it is easier to paraphrase, and she finished the matter in a few words.

After listening to this story, Fan Chengfang was silent for a long time before he asked lightly: "Ling Wei, who is Yang San?" ”

Cui Lingwei hesitated, looked at Wei Jue beside her again, and then replied, "It's a friend of mine." ”

Fan Chengfang had been observing her, and when he saw Cui Lingwei and Wei Jue exchanging glances, he guessed something.

He knows Cui Lingwei very well, and he knows that such a woman from a family has no chance to meet a person like Yang San. And the scene just now made him think that the reason why Cui Lingwei came here was probably because of the pretty little man dressed as a servant.

He guessed that he also hit the ** point, but he didn't say it directly.

He pretended to think for a long time, and then said, "Ling Wei, since Yang San doesn't have much to do with you, I think it's better to let the state and county officials deal with this matter." This is a local matter, and I am a military general, so it is inconvenient for me to intervene in this matter. ”

When he said this, he was really suspicious of backsliding.

Cui Lingwei was originally very confident, but it can be seen that Fan Chengfang suddenly retorted, and she was a little anxious. After thinking about it for a while, she still begged: "Uncle doesn't know, the official mansion of Wu County was bought by the Su family, and they didn't listen to Yang San's explanation at all, and they also arrested Yang San's son." Uncle, you can help Yang San, they are very pitiful. ”

She begged softly, but only changed Fan Chengfang's sigh: "Hey, Ling Wei, this government does things differently from the people, you can't just listen to the words of others and act indiscriminately." If things are really as you said, then Yang San has really been wronged, and the government will naturally give him justice. If there is still a mistake, you come to Shibo again, and when the time comes, Shibo will definitely help you. ”

Fan Chengfang's words were very mellow, and he really didn't look like an ordinary general.

Wei Jue had been listening quietly, he knew that Cui Lingwei had brought him here to ask for Fan Chengfang's help.

And the move she took is not clever.

Before today, only the pillars were arrested, and it was the government that arrested people. The government acts no more than others, it has some scruples, and the pillar is a man, so this matter can wait. But now that Que'er is a daughter's family, and she has been taken captive by the strongman, the matter cannot be delayed any longer.

As Fan Chengfang said, the government has always paid attention to procedures and cannot be fast; But the army is different, and the matter will be solved immediately.

It's just that now Cui Lingwei's face is not good, and this Fan Chengfang has shown the intention of prevaricating.

This person's words are really prevaricating, in fact, in his heart, he doesn't want to be involved in this matter at all, but because of Cui Lingwei's identity, he will be so polite.

Thinking of this, Wei Jue walked into the tent. Cui Lingwei wanted to ask for more, but it can be seen that he acted like this, so he took it.

There were only three people in this tent, and his actions naturally attracted Fan Chengfang's attention. But in the end, he was old and serious, he just watched silently and did not speak.

And Wei Jue walked to the opposite side of Fan Chengfang, bowed down first, and then got up and said: "General, the juniors have three things that I don't understand, I want to ask the general, I don't know if the general is willing to solve the doubts for the juniors?" ”

Fan Chengfang didn't know Wei Jue, and when he heard this, he looked at Cui Lingwei and asked, "Ling Wei, who is this?" ”

"Shibo, his name is Wei Jue, and he is my aunt's son."

As soon as Cui Lingwei said this, Fan Chengfang knew Wei Jue's origin, and he said with a smile: "It turned out to be Wei Sima's son, but I haven't heard that there is a little man in the Wei family named Wei Jue." ”

Wei Jue did not shy away from his background, he said lightly and bluntly: "It is not surprising that the general does not know about his background. ”

"I see." Listening to Wei Jue's words that were neither humble nor arrogant, Fan Chengfang nodded, "Xiao Langjun, if there is anything you don't understand, just say it bluntly." ”

The world has always valued the heirs and the concubines, and this General Fan is not exempt from vulgarity. It's just that he has always regarded himself as a Confucian general, and he will not be happy easily. And Wei Jue was a junior, and he asked for advice, so he had to take it.

"The juniors are puzzled, what is the general leading the troops here?" Wei Jue said, bowing his hand, "Please ask the general to clarify his doubts." ”

"The old man led the troops here, naturally to protect the territory and the people, and to protect the safety of this side."

The question asked by Wei Jue was very simple, Fan Chengfang blurted out an answer, and after that, this person despised Wei Jue a little.

"That junior understands." Wei Jue bowed slightly, revealing a teachable look.

Then, he said: "The younger generation is puzzled, if someone secretly plunders the people in Gusu, should this person be disposed of by the general?" ”

Fan Chengfang listened to it and accepted the contempt, he knew the meaning of Wei Jue's words. But at this time, he didn't answer but looked timid, so he slowly replied: "The privateer is Kou, if it is in the Gusu territory, this person will naturally be disposed of by the old man." ”

"General, if you look at the fire, the younger generation admires it." Wei Jue bowed, got up and said again, "The younger generation is puzzled, then the Su family sent someone to enter Gusu City privately and forcibly plundered Yang San's daughter, Qi'er, why did the general say that this matter is not the general's responsibility?" Could it be that the people in this Gusu city can't be protected by the general? ”

After listening to this, Fan Chengfang didn't speak, but thought silently.

Seeing him like this, Wei Jue arched his hand and said: "The younger generation knows the general's difficulties, and the general is just suspicious of overstepping this matter, but the general doesn't know that the person who took away the finch is the strongman on Tiger Hill Mountain." ”

Wei Jue waited quietly, he had finished speaking at this time, so it was useless to say more.

The weapon of the soldier is unknown, not the weapon of the gentleman, and it is used as a last resort.

Although Fan Chengfang held the military power, he didn't want to move it easily.

"Ding Hu."

After thinking for a long time, Fan Chengfang called out of the tent.

Immediately, a young officer walked into the tent, he saluted, and asked in a loud voice: "The last general has seen the commander, but I don't know what the commander called the last man here, what is the so-called matter?" ”

"Ding Hu, you take my personal soldiers to go to Wu County with this lady of the Cui family, and you follow her instructions for everything." Fan Chengfang was still extremely cautious, he only sent his own personal soldiers to deal with the matter.

But this was enough, Wei Jue was relieved when he heard this, he knew that the finch was saved.

"Shibo." At this time, Cui Lingwei suddenly opened her mouth, "Can you prepare a carriage for us, Wei Jue is not good at riding." ”

"What's the matter?" When Fan Chengfang heard this, he smiled and said, "Ding Hu, you prepare a carriage for them, and go and do it now." ”

"The last will be ordered."

Ding Hu hugged his fists and saluted, turned over and walked out of the military tent.

"Wei Jue, it's not okay for a man to not be able to ride a horse." Fan Chengfang said and walked to Wei Jue's side, "Ling Wei's equestrian skills are good, if you have time, you have to ask her for more advice." ”

"Yes, I will definitely study well when I go back next time." Wei Jue thinks the same way, in this era, it is indeed a shame not to be able to ride a horse.

Then, Fan Chengfang suddenly said, "Wei Jue, I lend you this soldier." On this trip, you can save people, understand? In the end, Wei Jue is too young, although Fan Chengfang is relieved, he is still not at ease.

Wei Jue saw his worries, so he nodded in response: "What the general meant, I already understand, this trip will definitely not hurt anyone." ”

"Okay, just understand." Fan Chengfang nodded with a smile and said, "It's important to save people now, so you can go now." ”

As soon as he said this, Wei Jue and Cui Lingwei said goodbye and left.

After a short time, a group of cavalry escorted a carriage and left the military fortress.
