Chapter 139: Killing Opportunity Grows

"The Beiping Army report is here?" Cao Yi took a sip of wine, and his eyes revealed a kind of realization.

Xiao Fan raised his hand, handed the two girls in the Accord two ingots of silver, and said in a deep voice, "The two girls should go out first." ”

The two girls got the money and went out with joy on their faces.

Xiao Fan sighed and said, "Yes, the Beiping military report arrived in Beijing in the evening, His Majesty convened the ministers to discuss the matter, and King Yan took the initiative to ask for Ying, asking to return to Beiping to lead the army to attack the enemy......"

Cao Yi sneered: "It's another impassioned, right?" I don't know if he may cry bitterly in front of the Son of Heaven, vowing that if he doesn't sweep away the Northern Yuan, he will come to see him or something, right? ”

"Brother Cao is simply a worm in the belly of King Yan, and he is also a super big bug......"

"Don't you be disgusted with me, can you? I have followed King Yan for many years, and I know better than anyone how he will react when something happens. The corners of Cao Yi's mouth were slightly hooked, revealing a sneering smile.

Xiao Fan pouted and said: "Yes, now King Yan is brave and loyal in front of the Son of Heaven, and his image is so righteous that he is a mess, as if the Manchu Dynasty is loyal to him alone, it is really undesirable to see, if I can't beat him, I will go and smoke him in the morning......"

"How does the Son of Heaven decide on this matter?"

Xiao Fan frowned and said: "The Son of Heaven has not made a decision today, but it seems that the Son of Heaven has obviously been moved by King Yan's performance, and looking at the attitude of the Son of Heaven, it seems that he is quite inclined to let King Yan return to Beiping......"

Cao Yi sighed and said: "If King Yan returns to Beiping, it is tantamount to a dragon entering the sea and a tiger entering the mountains. King Yan recruited troops and horses in Beiping, bought the hearts and minds of the army for many years, and even secretly cultivated power and manpower for the government outside Beiping, and his intention was self-evident. His Royal Highness Taisun is young and senior, and I'm afraid he is not the opponent of King Yan......"

The more Xiao Fan listened, the heavier his heart became, and he took a sip of wine from the cup, and the look in his eyes became more and more depressed.

Seeing Xiao Fan's troubled appearance, Cao Yi couldn't help but smile: "Brother Xiao, there is something I have never asked you......"

"What?"

"When you and I were in Jiangpu County, I thought you were a talent, so I pulled you into Yan for King Yan, and then you clearly knew the situation, King Yan was strong and too grandson was weak, why did I woo you several times, but you rejected me? What do you think? ”

"Because every time you woo me, I drink and my mind is not clear, if you tell me while I am sober, I will definitely agree to you......"

Cao Yi's face darkened: "............"

"Well, no kidding. When you wooed me, I already knew His Royal Highness Taisun, I am a person who values feelings, His Royal Highness Taisun treats me as a friend and brother, how can I be embarrassed to turn to King Yan and become enemies with him on the battlefield in the future? There are very few people who have the best of both worlds, since you choose the weaker side because of brotherly feelings, then you don't have to think about how strong the enemy is, the worst outcome is just death, I can die happily without guilt. But if I betray my friends and betray them for glory, then I will not be happy even if I am a very human minister, and the feeling of torment is not as good as death......"

Cao Yi said movingly: "So, for the sake of this friendship with His Royal Highness Taisun, you rejected a perhaps brighter future?" ”

Xiao Fan said with a smile: "You must say that I am so great, I have no objection, maybe I am so great, Brother Cao, it is rare to have a confidant in life, I can make you and Taisun two friends in this life, and I will not change this life in vain, no matter how big the official is, I will not change the amount of silver." ”

Cao Yi was moved and hugged his fists and said: "Cao can know his brother, it is really a blessing in this life!" ”

Xiao Fan sighed infinitely: "What is a brother?" Brother is the one who can help you tremble and walk around the kiln together when you are so old that you are about to breathe......"

Cao Yi looked at the Accord, sighed with straight eyes, "The metaphor of the elder brother is really ......"

"Appropriate?"

"Yes!"

…………………… This night, Cao Yi drank heartily, Xiao Fan was depressed in his heart, and drank too much, the two of them paid the silver, drunkenly helped each other and walked off the painting boat, staggering and walking on the bank of the Qinhuai River, on the quiet and silent bank of the Qinhuai River, only the laughter of the two was heard, and the voice was wanton and wild, echoing endlessly over the quietly flowing Qinhuai River...... "Brother Cao, what do you think of the county lord of Jiangdu?" Xiao Fan asked loudly with a wine burp.

"Stunning beauty, alluring the country and the city, and you are a talented woman!"

"Brother Cao, what do you think of the thrush?"

"Pink makeup, deep affection, and you are a match made in heaven!"

"This is fine, that is fine, fuck! Why can't the two of them get together? I'll marry two, can I manage it? Xiao Fan scolded viciously.

Cao Yi became more and more drunk, and laughed: "Brother Xiao, who the hell dares to stop you from marrying a beauty, brother, I will kill him with a knife!" It doesn't matter who he is! Men crisscross the world, and they should look at the world and run rampant! I can't even marry the woman I want to marry, and I'm not as good as those eunuchs who don't have eggs! ”

Xiao Fan laughed, patted Cao Yi's shoulder and said, "Brother Cao is right!" If you can't marry a woman you want to marry, is that still a man? Brother Cao, help me remember that if one day in the future, whoever forces me to marry only one of them, you will ......"

"Kill him for you!"

"Uh...... It's rude, you'd better help me figure out a way to marry both of them......"

"Haha, okay! My brother is a merry seed, brother, I will never let you live up to the beauty. ”

…………………… The two of them staggered and walked on the streets of Beijing in the middle of the night, laughing unscrupulously, juvenile and frivolous. The two of them drank so much that they couldn't recognize the door of their home in the dark night.

Xiao Fan was so drunk that he was almost paralyzed into a ball of mud, and walked on Cao Yi's shoulders for a long time, and finally got impatient, so he cheered up, stood on a strange street, and suddenly opened his throat and shouted: "Get up!" Get up! Get up for me! Jinyiwei ward rounds! ”

The loud voice was heard far and wide on the street in the middle of the night, so many residents on the street turned on their lights.

Xiao Fan then shouted: "Open the doors and windows for me!" ”

So, every household opened their windows and inexplicably stuck their heads out to see what was going on outside.

Xiao Fan was very satisfied with this effect, and then his expression suddenly darkened, and he pointed to his handsome face with a wine burp, and said loudly: "Do you recognize me?" Do you all recognize me? ”

Inside, the occupants shook their heads blankly.

Xiao Fan suddenly burst into tears, his expression was very helpless, and he said in a pitiful voice: "Everyone, look at whose child I am, take me back......"

Everyone is full of black lines: "............"

Bang bang bang.

There was a sound of windows closing.

Keep sleeping!

Waking up with a hangover is the most painful.

Xiao Fan groaned and got up, rubbed his temples and looked around, finding himself lying in the bedroom at home.

He didn't remember how he came back last night, he only knew that his head was hurting now, and there seemed to be countless little people beating drums in his head, and listening to the rhythm was still a general's order...... Xiao Fan snorted twice, struggled out of bed, and as soon as he stood up, he felt dizzy and dizzy, and almost fell on the bed again.

A small footstep outside the door came quickly, Xiao Thrush walked to Xiao Fan with tea, saw this and hurriedly put the tea cup on the table, and then hugged Xiao Fan.

"What does Xianggong think? Does your head hurt? Thrush asked with concern.

Xiao Fan rubbed his temples in pain and said hoarsely, "I...... How did you get back last night? ”

Xiao Thrush's small pretty face suddenly appeared with a strange color, and he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.

Xiao Fan let out a long sigh and said, "Forget it, you don't need to say it, you can imagine that my image last night must be very embarrassing......"

Xiao Thrush blinked his eyes, the corners of his mouth curled into a curved arc, and said softly: "You came back last night and hugged the earth dog guarding the door in the front yard and cried bitterly, what did you say that you finally found an organization, crying and shouting that you have to worship it, Steward Zhang advises you, you are still in a hurry with him,...... Is this an embarrassment? ”

Xiao Fanjun's face suddenly dripped, and he said with a gloomy face: "Thrush, help me find a rope......"

"What do you want a rope for?"

"I can't live...... Find the beams and hang yourself! ”

…………………… Thrush carefully wiped Xiao Fan's face and dressed him up, at a young age, her movements were like a gentle and virtuous little wife, it seems that she had learned the course of husband and child at home during this time.

Xiao Fan's heart was filled with a faint warmth, man, he had to live like this to be called a comfortable one, there was already such a virtuous little wife at home, and now there was another Jiangdu county lord outside, at this moment Xiao Fan felt guilty about the thrush, he was introspective, was he too careful?

But...... The county lord of Jiangdu has a deep affection for himself, how can he bear it? Wouldn't that ruin another woman?

The problem of feelings is too troublesome, and he, who is accustomed to the monogamy system in his previous life, is very uncomfortable with the decadent and depraved life of a scholar with three wives and four concubines in ancient times.

While he was contemplating these things, the source of his troubles came.

Steward Zhang reported outside the Moon Gate that the county lord of Jiangdu came to visit.

Xiao Fanjun's face was bitter, and he looked at the thrush who was sorting out his clothes with a little hesitation and confusion.

The thrush smiled playfully: "Xianggong go quickly, don't let the county lord wait for a long time......

"Thrush, I'm ......" Xiao Fan wanted to say something, but opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.

The thrush smiled knowingly, and said: "Don't think too much about the princess, what the king likes, what the concubine likes, I still understand the truth of loving the house and Wu, as long as the county lord treats you sincerely, I will get along with her well, and I will not embarrass you in this life." ”

Xiao Fan gratitatively grabbed the thrush's hand and said emotionally: "Thrush ......"

"Huh?"

“…… When you are an adult, I will divide you three or five more days a month, so that you can sleep well......"

Thrush excited: "...... Good! ”

Xiao Fan politely invited the county lord of Jiangdu to the study.

There are several kinds of hospitality in ancient times, one is in the front hall of the house, the host entertains the guests in the front hall, which shows that the relationship between the guest and the host is very general, and the second is in the inner hall of the house, that is, through the front hall, close to the inner courtyard, in the inner hall to entertain guests, the relationship between the guest and the host is naturally much closer.

The study room has been a very private place since ancient times, and if the host receives guests in the study, it shows that the relationship with the guests is very unusual.

The lord of Jiangdu County saw Xiao Fan lead herself to the study, and her pretty face kept rippling with a joyful smile from the bottom of her heart, she walked slowly behind Xiao Fan, her two beautiful big eyes were bent into two charming arcs, and her thin red lips were also tightly pursed, as if she was afraid that she would accidentally let out a pleasant laugh and lose her shape.

After entering the study, the county lord couldn't wait to start looking at the most private place of his sweetheart.

Xiao Fan's study is actually very ordinary, no different from other people's study, and he himself is not a person who loves to learn, this study can only be regarded as a look for him at most, but he is also from the same Jinshi, and it is too unparticular to have a study at home.

The county lord of Jiangdu obviously didn't think so.

In her eyes, everything about her sweetheart is excellent, including the study.

So as soon as she entered the door, she couldn't help but admire, her eyes were full of appreciation, and from time to time she curiously stretched out her slender hand to touch the furnishings in the room.

The study is quaint and elegant.

The room is irregularly decorated with antiques from the previous dynasty, and the bottles and cans make the county lord love it.

On the wide mahogany bookcase, the four treasures of the study are neatly placed on the desk, all of which are valuable, such as lake pens, Hui ink, rice paper, and inkstones, which are placed in an orderly manner, and they have a common feature, that is, they are basically new, and they have not been used much.

Xiao Fan only used them to write a picture with great interest, and that character is now framed and hung in the study.

The eyes of the Jiangdu County Lord Xun Shuo quickly fell on the words hanging high on the east wall of the room.

At a glance, the county lord couldn't help but open his mouth slightly, his pretty eyes widened, and he gasped in surprise.

"This ...... It's ......" the county lord stammered.

The words on the wall, the handwriting mountain dancing silver snake, flying dragon and phoenix, wild and uninhibited writing three big characters: "make a fortune".

The inscription is "Jinyi Wei Tongzhi Xiao Fan Question"

"This ...... Did you write it? The county lord looked at Xiao Fan in disbelief, and then turned his head to look at the lettering.

Xiao Fan nodded suddenly.

The county lord of Jiangdu hung her head and stopped talking, and after a long time, her eyes bent again, bent like two crescent moons, and then suddenly burst out laughing, and the laughter became more and more irrepressible, and she laughed so much that she leaned forward and backwards, and the flowers and branches trembled.

Xiao Fan looked at her with black lines on his head, and was silent for a long time, he said astringently: "The atmosphere in the study is too dull, county lord, go out for a walk......"

"Hahahaha...... Good...... All right. The county lord still couldn't control his laughter, and he couldn't even care about the demeanor of the royal county lord.

Xiao Fan rubbed his face, sighed sullenly, and walked outside the study first.

Today, it's really not a good day...... The county lord of Jiangdu followed behind Xiao Fan, and his whole body was paralyzed with laughter, as if even the strength to walk had disappeared.

"The county lord...... Don't laugh, don't be exquisite! ”

"Well, okay, don't laugh, don't laugh, in fact, it's nothing funny......" Seeing that Xiao Fan's face was getting darker and darker, the county lord immediately made a pretty face obediently.

For a long time...... "poof...... Hahahaha......" The county lord laughed again.

Xiao Fan's face was black and speechless: "............"

Outside the Jubao Gate in the south of the Jingshi City, Nengren Temple.

Nengren Temple was built in the Tang Dynasty, there is a pagoda in the temple, the name is called Miaotong Pagoda, it is built by Renzong in the Song Dynasty, the temple forecourt is also planted with a thousand-year-old ginkgo, although the incense is not prosperous in the ancient temple, the temple is full of antiquity, the scenery of the end is charming, it makes people linger and forget to return.

Xiao Fan and the county lord of Jiangdu went out of the mansion, each took a carriage, and went to Nengren Temple to burn incense under the guards of the Jinyi army in the palace.

Before entering the temple, the Jinyi pro-army drove away the few pilgrims in the temple, and then the pro-army guarded the gate of the temple, and Xiao Fan and the county lord walked in.

The county lord of Jiangdu seemed to be in a good mood today, she looked sideways at Xiao Fan's handsome face from time to time, and then lowered her head and smiled shyly, her cheeks were dyed like a sunset, and there seemed to be an inexplicable excitement in her chest, slamming against her weak heart like a deer.

Xiao Fan also had a strange feeling in his heart, this feeling was like the love in his previous life, the green smoke and green fog cover was light, the flying flotsam was uncertain, and the lingering sweet breath between men and women was beating rapidly and violently in the hearts of the two.

Entering the main hall of the temple, Xiao Fan intimately took three pillars of incense for the county lord, the county lord took the incense, and glanced at him with a pretty eye, Xiao Fan clearly saw the affection in her eyes, and wrapped her fingers around him softly.

Xiao Fan's heart fluttered, and he smiled gently at her.

The county lord took the incense, knelt down facing the Buddha seat, clasped his hands together, slowly closed his pretty eyes, and muttered words in his cherry mouth, with a very pious expression.

Xiao Fan didn't believe in Buddhism very much, but at this time, he also knelt down beside the county lord, and the two knelt side by side in front of the Buddha seat, muttering prayers and making wishes together.

After a long time, after praying to the Buddha, the county lord slowly opened his eyes, looked sideways, and saw Xiao Fan kneeling beside him, the two kneeling side by side, and the posture was extremely ambiguous.

The county lord was startled, and couldn't help but let out a "ah", and then hurriedly covered his small mouth with his hand, but his pretty face was already red with shame.

Xiao Fan was called by the county lord, and suddenly opened his eyes, seeing himself and the county lord like this, his heart moved, a bad smile appeared on his face, and he smiled: "County lord, let's be like this, don't we look like a church?" ”

"You...... You're necrotic! The county lord was so ashamed that when he heard this, he immediately raised his small fist and gently slapped it at him.

In the solemn and solemn Daxiong Treasure Hall, a pair of young men and women rippled with sweet feelings, and the golden body on the Buddha seat seemed to show a compassionate smile, silently blessing this pair of beautiful people.

The two of them were only immersed in sweetness, and no one noticed that outside the Daxiong Treasure Hall, several sneaky figures quietly approached the palace gate, and in the sweet atmosphere, a cold and suffocating killing machine gradually condensed and took shape unconsciously......
