The Newcomer Chapter 45: A New Beginning (4)

Fangling County, the county post station.

After Lei Heng, Dian Wei, and Sui Sheng returned to the post station, they hurriedly asked Xi Zhong, Zheng Tai, and Zheng Hun to discuss countermeasures.

Lei Heng first asked Han Hao to send someone to guard outside the house, and then he told him what he had encountered in the street at night. Lei Heng's head was in chaos, and he could only pin his hopes on the three strategists.

Zheng Tai thought for a long time and took the lead in saying: "Lord, what Yitai has heard, Zhang Fang is greedy for power and money, and he is ruthless and vicious. He was so kind to keep the lord in Fangling County, Tai boldly guessed that it was nothing more than to delay the time for the lord to enter the western city, and take advantage of the gap to find an opportunity to kill the lord ......"

"But I have no grudge against Zhang Fang, and I have never revealed the intention of removing him, why did Zhang Fang want to kill me?"

When Zheng Hun heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Since ancient times, 'people die for money, birds die for food', do you know that he is not jealous of the lord and 'comes from behind'?" What's more, there is no need for the forces in Beijing to add fuel to ......the fire. ”

Hearing this, Lei Heng nodded and agreed with the analysis of the two Zheng brothers. After all, they have been in Luoyang for a long time and are familiar with officialdom. There are indeed many forces in the court who do not want to be the captain of this Nanban school, and the first one to bear the brunt is Yin Hejin of Henan......

After thinking about it, Lei Heng asked again: "Since Zhang Fang is going to delay my arrival in Xicheng and wants to kill me on the way to the post, why don't Zhang Fang or He Jin send someone to intercept me halfway?" Or do you want to do it at a banquet? ”

Zheng Tai and Zheng Hun frowned slightly, and were silent without answering.

Xi Zhong said: "Zhang Fang should not dare, people who are greedy for money must be afraid of death, the lord is the captain of the Southern Barbarians ordered by the imperial court, how dare he rebel against the imperial court and openly be the enemy of the world." ”

After Lei Heng heard this, he immediately understood the truth, and breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, and then asked: "Zhang Fang is afraid of the majesty of the imperial court and does not dare to assassinate me openly, but he will definitely find another opportunity to let me die on the way to the post in a reasonable way, is that what it means?" ”

Xi Zhong nodded in agreement.

Lei Heng thought for a while and said: "The enemy is in the dark, and I am in the light, it seems that I can only respond to all changes with the same." After a pause, Lei Heng turned his gaze to Han Hao beside him and said, "Yuan Hei, you lead the second group of shadow guards to stay at the post station as our base camp in Fangling. ”

"No!" Han Hao immediately replied......

Early the next morning, Lei Heng received an invitation from Zhang Fang and invited him to go to the county government for a banquet again.

After getting the news, Lei Heng was stunned, didn't he already set up a banquet yesterday? Do you want to treat yourself today? The doubts in Lei Heng's heart had just been eliminated, and another trace of doubt arose. However, Lei Heng still took Dian Wei and Sui Sheng to the county office, and after entering the county office, Zhang Fang had already taken the officials of Fangling to wait for Lei Heng in front of the hall.

"Captain early." A group of officials bowed to Lei Hengyi one after another.

"Good morning, gentlemen." With a smile on his face, Lei Heng returned the salute to the officials of Fangling who were standing in front of the yamen to greet him.

Zhang Fang stood in front of the Fangling official, with a bright smile on his feminine face, and said: "Lord Captain, disturb your dreams early in the morning, please forgive me, the lower official has prepared a program to entertain adults, please be inside." ”

Lei Heng had already figured out Zhang Fang's thoughts, and knew that it was impossible for Zhang Fang to kill him in public, so he was naturally fearless. With a wave of his sleeves, he took the lead in walking towards the county office, and when he entered the county office, Lei Heng glanced at the officials behind him, and looked at the reactions of the officials around him. Although the officials of Fangling stood behind Zhang Fang, they were clearly divided into two camps.

Lei Heng glanced at the Fangling officials who were a little far away from Zhang Fang, and kept a heart in his heart.

In any place, there are fights and factions, even if Zhang Fang has been running Fangling for many years, it is impossible to be airtight. Lei Heng knew in his heart that Zhang Fang must be planning how to get rid of him, and in order to completely control Fang Ling, he naturally had to get rid of Zhang Fang. Rather than suffering later, it is better to strike first.

After entering the living room of the county office, Lei Heng took off his robe and sat down.

"Papapa......" After Zhang Fang sat down, he clapped several times in a row. Suddenly, there was a steady sound of footsteps outside the living room, and I saw two big men walking in.

"Lord, these two people are not weak." Sui Sheng knelt behind Lei Heng, leaned forward slightly, and whispered softly in Lei Heng's ear.

Hearing this, Lei Heng looked at the two middle-aged people. I saw these two middle-aged men each carrying a big axe and a spear, walking slowly, and every step forward would give people a gloomy feeling. The eyes of the two were cold and cold, like a pool of stagnant water, full of dead air.

Lei Heng glanced at Dian Wei, only to see Dian Wei's face with disdain. Seeing this, Lei Heng smiled in his heart and had confidence.

"I have heard for a long time that the captain is like a cloud. Xia Guan specially invited two warriors, willing to compete with the fierce generals under the command of the captain, so as to help the drinking pleasure of all the colleagues present. Zhang Fang had a smile on his face, his narrow eyes narrowed, and his feminine gaze fell on Lei Heng, and he smiled weirdly.

Isn't it Xiang Zhuang's sword dance, which is intended for Pei Gong? Lei Heng laughed in his heart and said with a smile: "Since Lord Zhang and the princes have this Yaxing, they are not allowed. To be honest, I've seen sword dancing to cheer up, but I really haven't seen a fight to help fun, haha...... I can't wait. ”

Lei Heng glanced at the officials, sneered in his heart, and was about to let the officials of Fangling understand his power, don't waste such a good opportunity. Lei Heng looked back at Dian Wei and commanded: "Dian Wei, these two strong men seem to be quite brave, can you be sure to give them a good point?" ”

Dian Wei Zhengse said: "It's as easy as a snap!" With that, Dian Wei stood up and strode into the living room with his halberd in hand.

"You two go up together!"

Seeing this, Zhang Fang laughed twice, turned his eyes to Lei Heng, and asked with a smile: "Lord Captain, your subordinate is really a big man, if you are injured by my two warriors, don't blame me." ”

Lei Heng laughed when he heard this: "I'm worried that if I hurt the warriors under Master Zhang, I'm afraid it won't be good, and I'm not happy if I hurt my harmony." In his words, there is infinite arrogance. However, in the face of Lei Heng's strength, Zhang Fang could only endure it, and he secretly swore in his heart that after killing Lei Heng, he would also crush Lei Heng's bones and scatter ashes to eliminate the hatred in his heart.

Dian Wei wanted to fight one against two, completely angering the two warriors. This is simply a complete disregard for the two of them.

"Huh... ...... "The cold light flickered, and the hissing sound sounded in the living room, and the two warriors were holding their breath, blushing, attacking fiercely, and attacking at the critical point, the two of them were eager to defeat Dian Wei, which was not only to save face for Zhang Fang, but also to save face for themselves.

"Boring..."

"Boring..."

The sound of the clashing of gold and iron resounded from the living room, and it ended with the weapons in the hands of the two warriors being knocked away by the iron halberds.

All the officials were full of admiration, and they actually defeated the two of them with only one move, this is a warrior who Zhang Fang hired to stay in the mansion with a lot of money!

Zhang Fang also opened his mouth wide in shock, and then a touch of surprise flashed in his eyes, his eyes rolled, and his gaze turned to Dian Wei again, and asked, "Zhuangshi, how to call it?" ”

"Dian Wei!" Dian Wei responded with his hand and stood behind Lei Heng humbly.

Zhang Xinxin muttered, then his gaze directly bypassed Lei Heng, and asked Dian Wei: "Dian Zhuangshi, there is still a lack of a commander in our army, I don't know if I can ask Dian Zhuangshi to go to train for a few days?" ”

Dian Wei didn't squint, and said: "Lord Zhang, Dian Wei is a subordinate of the lord, everything is subject to the lord's arrangement, if there is anything to do, you can discuss with the lord, you don't need to ask Dian Wei." ”

Zhang Fang clenched his fists, his eyes full of anger. A stupid big guy who doesn't know how to lift. However, this did not affect Zhang Fang to continue to provoke the relationship between Lei Heng and Dian Wei, he looked at Lei Heng and said: "Lord Captain, I want to invite Dian Zhuang to come over to the house, I don't know what Lord Captain thinks?" ”

As soon as Zhang Fang's words fell, all eyes fell on Lei Heng.

Lei Heng smiled faintly, and instantly understood Zhang Fang's intentions. If Dian Wei went to Zhang Fang's mansion for a banquet and did not invite Lei Heng, it caused a gap between Lei Heng and Dian Wei; If Lei Heng didn't let Dian Wei go to the banquet, it would seem that Lei Heng had no measure, and both options were not good for Lei Heng.

It's a pity that Zhang Fang found the wrong object. Lei Heng smiled and said: "Lord Zhang, such a peerless martial art is something that ordinary people can learn if they want to, if you want your armor to learn martial arts, let them go to Xicheng to learn, and ensure that they will be taught and taught by Baohui." ”

"You ......" Zhang Fang stretched out his hand and pointed at Lei Heng, unable to suppress the anger in his heart any longer.

Lei Heng didn't give Zhang Fang a chance to speak, and said: "Lord Zhang, I have been in Fangling County for two days, and it is time to prepare to leave for Xicheng, well, tomorrow morning, let's set off." ”

One more day is one more danger. Therefore, it is necessary to set off for Xicheng as soon as possible, so that Zhang Fang's position can become chaotic and disrupt Zhang Fang's arrangement.

Sure enough, Zhang Fang listened to Lei Heng's words, and immediately put the matter of Dian Wei behind, a trace of anxiety flashed in his eyes, thinking about how to leave Lei Heng in his mind, and hurriedly explained: "My lord, it is difficult to go to Xicheng Mountain Road, it is better to wait for two more days, and wait for the weather to be clear." ”

Zhang Fang's original intention was to invite Lei Heng to the banquet to delay time. Unexpectedly, Lei Heng actually asked to rush to Xicheng, which suddenly made Zhang Fang's arrangement stretched.

At a banquet, because of Lei Heng's words, Zhang Fang became absent-minded, and the whole person seemed a little trance. The feminine face sometimes showed a hideous color, sometimes a contemplative color, and sometimes a trace of anger appeared on the face......

At the end of the banquet, Zhang Fang was still frowning, immersed in his own world.

Lei Heng strode away with Dian Wei and Sui Sheng. After a while, only Zhang Fang and Zhang Fang's henchmen were left in the living room.

On the way back to the post station, Sui Sheng asked, "Lord, Zhang Fang has already started to kill, what should we do?" ”

Lei Heng smiled: "Sui Sheng, Zhang Fang is too feminine. ”

Dian Wei and Sui Sheng heard it in a fog, and they didn't understand what Lei Heng meant, so they asked in unison: "Lord, is there any connection between Zhang Fang being too feminine and him sending someone to kill us?" ”

Lei Heng explained: "I said that Zhang Fang was too feminine, I meant that he was indecisive and difficult to achieve great things, not only wanted to kill me, but also wanted to take himself out." I really want to be a bitch and want to set up a torii, how can there be such a best of both worlds in this world. If he had murderous intentions and wanted to kill me, he should have sent someone to intercept us in the county office and prevent the three of us from leaving the county office. ”

Sui Sheng nodded and said, "So, Zhang Fang is about to do it?" ”

Lei Heng nodded noncommittally and replied, "Look at it, there may be a good show to watch tomorrow......"
