Chapter 126: Face Saint
Zheng Fan sat by the stream, holding a large handful of melon seeds he had grabbed from the wine table earlier, and spit the peel on the crimson stream while snorting.
After finding out that Sister Ting was still alive, Zheng Shoubei suddenly felt much more comfortable, and his previous depression and brain fever seemed to be much better.
Even in the ears, the sound of the Jingnan Army soldiers mending their knives to the corpses one by one is not so harsh.
Is it adapted?
Oh no, it's probably numbness.
It's really a world,
Zheng Shoubei suddenly regretted it in his heart,
If you hadn't decided to come out of Hutou City to do something, now everyone continues to stay in Hutou City:
Ah Ming brews wine, Fan Li chops wood;
The blind man counts hexagrams, and Xue San talks about books;
Being a rich man by himself, accompanying Siniang every day, it seems to be good, at least you don't have to experience these things, and you don't have to see these things, it's not that you're afraid, but you just feel annoyed, and it's a little disgusting.
But this doesn't seem to be a choice for himself, if he really chooses to be an ordinary person in a down-to-earth manner, he will probably have died in that people's camp, let the barbarian cavalry trample his corpse, and then the iron cavalry of the Zhenbei Army will be crushed again.
If you are lucky, the desert wolf who comes to find food tomorrow morning may be able to pick up a slightly more complete piece of meat of your own.
Blind, you say that meat eaters eat human flesh, but what you mean is that they eat the flesh of the lower without blinking;
Damn, now they eat their own heads, and they fucking eat with relish.
Although rationally Zheng Fan also knows that Jing Nanhou said the sentence "The overthrow of the Dayan Gate valve, starting from the Tian family", how bold this sentence is, and even with a kind of courage to take the initiative to open up the world for a country and a people.
But seriously, Zheng Fan feels that he may not be able to do this in his life.
If it really has to be like that, then how boring is this life, what do you want?
Picture: My love for Dayan and loyalty to the royal family?
"What are you thinking?"
The cuckoo's voice sounded from behind Zheng Fan.
Zheng Fan coughed and said:
"Didn't think about anything."
"From tonight onwards, I'm afraid that no one in Jingzhong will talk about your abolition of the Third Prince."
Oh, in order to prevent me from making headlines, Jing Nanhou is also hard enough.
"yes."
After tomorrow, the matter of Jingnanhou's self-destruction will quickly spread throughout the capital, even throughout Dayan, and even throughout the entire four eastern countries.
"It's not easy for Master Hou." Cuckoo said.
"But Master Hou doesn't need to be pitiful." Zheng Fan said.
"Hehe, it seems that you men understand men better."
"Sister Du Juan laughed, and she only had indescribable admiration for Master Hou."
"I heard it, this sentence is not sycophancy."
"That's it."
"Master Hou has an order."
Zheng Fan was stunned for a moment, then knelt down on one knee,
"The last general will obey the order!"
"Order Zheng Shoubei to return to Beijing tonight and enter the palace to face the saint."
"Huh?"
"Tell the Holy Lord for Ben Hou: Head, it has been opened."
"The last general obeys!"
After getting up, Zheng Fan stretched out his hand and pointed to his face with some confusion, and said:
"Sister Cuckoo, I think it's okay, I've had enough opportunities to perform recently, and I should give more opportunities to other robes, so that everyone can get along better in the future, it's not good for me to eat alone all the time."
Nima, Lao Tzu just beat the emperor's own son into the godson of Father-in-law Wei during the day,
Are you now letting Lao Tzu enter Beijing and enter the palace to face the saint?
You don't take the mill and donkey with you overnight?
"Hou Ye asked you to go, you will go, in the Jingnan Army, no one dares to question Hou Ye's military order."
Cuckoo's words were a little cold.
In the end, she was born as a female spy in the secret spy department, even if she has just started to be someone else's daughter-in-law, but she has not lost her old business.
"Just kidding, just kidding."
"You don't have to be afraid, you are the person that the Hou Ye values, Your Majesty, I won't do anything to you."
"Yes, I understand."
Of course you're not afraid, just after passing the door, your father-in-law and mother-in-law died violently, and you are beautiful.
Of course, he only dared to think about it in his heart, and Zheng Shoubei really didn't dare to say it.
There was no seal letter, no paperwork, Zheng Fan wore this armor, stepped on his war horse, and went out of the farmhouse.
There is another thing to be thankful for, that is, in the Yayuan before, Zheng Fan did not kill anyone, so unlike other Jingnan soldiers, the armor on his body was washed layer after layer by layer of blood.
If that's the case, when the evening breeze blows in this winter, the blood on the body will freeze, and then it will be baked by the heat emitted from his body from time to time.
Hiss, inner taste......
It wasn't far from riding the horse out of the farmhouse, and Zheng Fan found that the black pressure in front of him blocked the way.
Here, there is a large army!
Because it was night, his vision was limited, but when Zheng Fan got closer, he concluded that the army in front of him numbered no less than three thousand, and there should be soldiers and horses nearby.
After approaching, the opponent's sentry took the initiative to come,
"Who's coming?"
"Dayan Yinlang County Cuiliu Fort garrison, Zheng Fan."
"See Lord Zheng."
The two sentinels took the initiative to salute Zheng Fan, and Zheng Fan also returned the salute.
Immediately, one of the sentry riders took the lead to report, and Zheng Fan, led by the other sentry rider, passed through the area almost without hindrance.
This is...... Jingnan Army.
When Jingnanhou entered Beijing this time, he brought more than 1,000 men and horses, which was obviously the soldiers and horses who arrived later.
continued to ride the horse, and about an hour later, Zheng Fan came to the south gate of the capital.
The city gate has long been closed, but at the city gate, there is a forbidden army guarding it, not on the city tower, but under the city wall.
When Zheng Fan approached on horseback, the forbidden army immediately stepped forward to stop him.
"Who's coming?"
"Dayan Yinlang County Cuiliu Fort guards Zheng Fan."
Soon, a large hanging basket was lowered on the castle tower.
Zheng Fan dismounted, got into the hanging basket, and was pulled to the city wall from above.
Without waiting for Zheng Fan to ask anything, a captain guarding the city led Zheng Fan downstairs, pointed to a horse that had been prepared there, and left without saying a word to Zheng Fan.
"Heh......"
Is your name so loud?
Or do you know that no one will dare to pretend to be yourself at this time?
Or, tonight's password is "Zheng Fan"?
Of course, this is just speculation with a little bad taste in his heart, in fact, Zheng Fan knows better in his heart that what is going to happen in the Tian Mansion today, the one in the palace, thinks it is clear.
The sentence that Jingnanhou let himself pass on, "The head has been opened."
It's like two brothers with a clear division of labor, supporting each other.
It means that I'm done with things on my side, and it's your turn.
Of course, the decision to go home and destroy the door cannot be that after Jing Nanhou went back, he found that the food did not meet his taste and wanted to destroy the door in anger;
In this matter, there must have been a charter in my heart for a long time.
And the trouble of going to the three princes during the day, the reason is even simpler.
I'm going to destroy myself, and I'm going to be a little angry with your son, isn't it too much?
He didn't kill the third prince, but abolished it, which is likely to be more in line with Jingnanhou's purpose of wanting to get angry, and the means are more ruthless, which is more relieving than killing him.
In this way, I was really licked out of my instinct by the blind north, and I knew how to make the person I needed to lick more enjoyable.
However, His Majesty in the palace was also ruthless enough, and he sent his queen back to save his relatives when he knew that there would be this catastrophe in the Tian Mansion tonight.
But this seems to be a deep and euphemistic way for the emperor to express his love, so that his wife can have the opportunity to go back and see her parents for the last time?
However, Xiao Liuzi's heart can be more balanced, his second brother's mother clan was also destroyed, and his father did not favor one over the other, and let Jingnanhou lead the troops to destroy.
Outsiders can't find out at this time this messenger who is "burdened with heavy responsibilities" and "involved in the fortunes of the country".
When he rode all the way from the south gate to the palace gate, he was thinking about something rebellious in his mind.
It's just that Zheng Fan himself doesn't know what he's thinking about, probably, it's to relieve the tension in his heart.
Although there is a high probability in my heart that this majesty is a male lord, the male lord generally has a habit of not caring much about his son.
But what if?
What if Emperor Yan doesn't take the usual path?
There is only one life.
Yanguo Palace, this is Zheng Fan's first time going, fortunately, it is not difficult to find, when the capital of later generations is planning, it will also pay attention to the height of buildings near the Forbidden City, and in this Yanguo capital, no matter which direction you stand in, you can know the direction of the palace at a glance.
The forbidden army at the gate of the palace stepped forward to check Zheng Fan,
Zheng Fan reported his position and name again,
soon
A hanging basket was also put down at the gate of the palace.
Generally speaking, heavy cities have at least two floors, the inner city and the outer city, in fact, the palace itself was designed to assume a defensive effect.
This is not used to defend against rebels or foreign enemies outside the city, generally speaking, after the outside army enters the capital, it is basically equivalent to the general trend has gone, and no matter how well the defense of the palace is built, it is meaningless.
However, the defensive nature of the palace was able to avoid small rebellions from the capital.
After going up on the hanging basket, this time, Zheng Fan was not allowed to ride a horse.
Got down the palace gate tower,
Zheng Fan found an old acquaintance waiting for him here.
In fact, it's not very familiar, but along the way, Jing Nanhou said several times that he would introduce himself to his department.
meantime
The big man said to himself very seriously during the day today:
We remember you.
Zheng Fan subconsciously swallowed his saliva, turned his head and quickly glanced at the closed palace gate behind him, at this moment, he actually had the illusion that a show girl entered the palace and from then on, a palace wall isolated his life and destiny.
"Zheng Shoubei, our family has been waiting for a long time."
Wei Zhonghe held the dust whisk in his hand and saluted Zheng Fan slightly.
Familiar voice, familiar temperament, plus the image attached to him by generations of factory workers in film and television works.
"Xiaguan Cuiliu Fort guards Zheng Fan, see Gonggong Wei!"
"Yo, it's only been half a day, why has Master Zheng become so formal?"
"In the end, the root of life is in your hands, father-in-law."
Gonggong Wei pinched the orchid with his left hand, pointed at Zheng Fan, and said:
"Naughty."
Immediately afterwards, Gonggong Wei said:
"In the palace, what is most lacking is a clever person like Lord Zheng."
"............" Zheng Fan.
"Your Majesty is still waiting in the imperial study, Lord Zheng and come with our family."
"When I entered the palace for the first time, my father-in-law led the way."
"You're welcome, let's go."
Father-in-law Wei's foot speed, Zheng Fan has seen it.
And this time Grandpa Wei seemed to be in a hurry, so the speed was very fast, so fast that he was obviously walking, but Zheng Fan had to run to barely keep up with him.
After about half a pillar of incense, Gonggong Wei suddenly stopped, and Zheng Fan naturally stopped and began to gasp.
"Lord Zheng, go along with it first, so as not to collide with Your Majesty when you face the saint later."
"Grandpa Xie."
The two of them began to walk forward in a uniform manner, passing a small garden, which was not large, similar to the imperial garden in the Forbidden City, in short, it was almost impossible for the concubines to play some game of hide and seek or play some chance encounter here.
The imperial study was at the back of the garden, separated by a small pond, and after passing through the corridor on the pond, Duke Wei signaled that Zheng Fan was waiting outside, and he went in first.
The palace with the owner and the palace without the owner give people a completely different feeling, Zheng Fan stood at the door at this time, and he really felt a little cold.
When you were in elementary school, you beat Chubby at the same table, and now Chubby's father at the same table is waiting for you in the teacher's office.
Well, of course, the above situation is not bad, if it is changed to: When you were in elementary school, you castrated the chubby at the same table, and now the chubby father at the same table is waiting for you......
Shaoqing,
Gonggong Wei walked out and said to Zheng Fan:
"Come in, Master Zheng."
Zheng Fan walked in,
In the imperial study, the light is not very bright, it seems that the emperor likes this slightly dim style, Zheng Fan turned right after entering, and saw a person sitting behind the table, wearing a traditional Yanren robe, but with gold edges, no matter how specific the appearance, it is not so real, plus, Zheng Fan does not have much time to observe closely.
"Chen Cuiliu Fort guards Zheng Fan, see Your Majesty!"
It's been more than half a year since I woke up, I went north and south, tossed a big circle, and finally met the supreme leader of Dayan.
Before at the bonfire party at Cuiliu Fort at night, Zheng Fan and the blind man often bragged with a cigarette in their hands.
This Yanhuang and the Marquis of Zhenbei are obviously singing double reeds, and he and the blind man have already guessed it, but now it's good, there has to be another Jingnan Marquis here.
I don't know what kind of courage and charm this Great Yan Emperor has, which can make the two marquis of the north and south completely believe in himself and are willing to stand on the same front with him.
"Zheng Fan?"
Yan Huang whispered, as if he was slowly chewing on the name.
Zheng Fan knelt on the ground, and the anxiety he had when he came before suddenly became extraordinarily calm at this time.
It's like you panicked before an exam, but after the paper is sent, you don't have the heart to panic anymore.
"Who told you to come?"
Emperor Yan's tone of voice was casual, not like an emperor, but like a lazy man, with a natural temper about having to work overtime to deal with government affairs at night.
"Back to Your Majesty, the Marquis of Jingnan sent his ministers over."
Zheng Fan didn't know very well what kind of format the monarch and ministers played, before today, he was just a border town fortress guard, although now, he is also just a garrison.
"Say."
"Marquis Jingnan asked his ministers to bring a word to His Majesty."
"Go on."
"Head, it's already open."
"Oh."
An "oh" word, Zheng Fan couldn't guess too much from it.
"Queen, are you alright?"
Yan Huang opened his mouth and asked, as if you were sitting on the threshold of your house with a bowl and picking up rice, and your neighbor's second uncle happened to pass by your door and asked if your parents were okay?
"Back to Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is well."
If she hadn't stopped it in time, maybe the queen mother would have been cut down by the red-eyed Jingnan army.
But Zheng Fan didn't dare to take this to ask for credit, and he didn't even dare to say it.
Who knows if the emperor was relieved or unhappy knowing that his empress was safe?
There was an example in front of me before, the Lord of the Temperance of the Qianguo, probably after learning that his wife from the Silver Armor Guard had died, he should be very happy in his heart, right?
"Zheng Shoubei, do you have words?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister was born in a vulgar background and has no words."
"It's okay, we Yan people, you don't need to learn the rules of the Qianguo people, Zheng Shoubei, in the past six months, you have appeared on my case several times."
"The minister is terrified."
"Rescued the prince outside the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei, rushed into Huaiya Academy in Yinlang County to take down the secret agent of Qianguo, and four hundred lone cavalry troops went deep into the territory of Qianguo and broke Mianzhou City.
Alas, I am old, I am old, and the world after this is your young people's. ”
"Your Majesty is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and my Dayan is at the time of the prosperity of the country, and the carriage of Dayan still needs a helmsman like Your Majesty to guide the direction."
"Helmsman, direction?"
Yan Huang smiled,
Road:
"Isn't Zheng Shoubei a member of the Beifeng clan, why, have you seen the sea?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister heard from the merchants of the Western Regions, and the merchants there often travel across the sea to do business."
"Oh, it's a pity, my Dayan can't see the sea yet.
By the way, Zheng Shoubei, you were born in the north, but you are valued by the Marquis of Jingnan, I am curious, are you a person from the Marquis of Zhenbei, or a person from the Marquis of Jingnan? ”
"Minister, it's Yanren, minister, it's His Majesty's courtier!"
"Hehe, it's a lie, but it sounds pleasant."
"............" Zheng Fan.
"Isn't it, Your Majesty, although Zheng Shoubei's slave only met today, the slave can be sure that Zheng Shoubei is a clever person."
"It's a pity, Wei Zhonghe, he is a person from Jingnan Houdian, you Wei Zhonghe has no chance to accept him as a godson."
"How dare you, how dare the slave rob people with the Marquis of Jingnan. It can only be said that it is a pity that the slave failed to meet Zheng Shoubei earlier. ”
"You eunuch, if you want to accept the seeds of generals like Zheng Shoubei into your own hands, don't you still want to learn from the Qianguo that Captain Yang to lead the troops out to fight?"
"Ouch, even if the slave eats the bear's heart and leopard gall, he doesn't dare to have such a rebellious mind, Your Majesty Mingjian, Your Majesty Mingjian!"
The emperor and the chief steward chatted,
Zheng Shoubei, who was kneeling below, was drenched in cold sweat.
"Bang Bang ......"
Then
A silver token was thrown in front of Zheng Fan,
Zheng Fan was a little stunned and reached out to take the token.
Yan Huang's voice came:
"This is a pass pass for free entry and exit from the Lake Center Pavilion."
"Huh?" Zheng Fan was puzzled.
"I heard that you have a relationship with Cheng Yue, and you can go to see him more for me when you have time."

Thanks to his idle mind for becoming the 73rd leader of "Demon Lining".
