Since he defected to Li Yongfang, Tan Feng and Tan Fengying's life has not been easy.

When Lord Li learned that Tan Feng had come to take refuge, he also scolded Zhou Qingfeng for treating his subordinates harshly and begging for retribution, which was not done by a righteous man and a gentleman. He was relieved that Tan Feng stayed with peace of mind, and also kept Tan Feng's inspection position. But in addition to sending a reward of ten taels of silver, Li Yongfang only placed Tan Feng in a single-courtyard hut near the Li Mansion for a while, and never said anything else.

The ten taels of reward money were only seven taels in Tan Feng's hands, and the remaining three taels were gone. Tan Feng lived a few simple days under Zhou Qingfeng, and he took a full amount of money every month, almost forgetting the various stereotypes and bad habits of the Ming Dynasty. The greed of the housekeeper of the Li Mansion made him instantly recall his unlucky days in the Xuan Mansion.

Next, Tan Feng could only be idle. He has no subordinates, and Master Li does not arrange errands for him, except for buying drunk and in a daze every day, he can only watch the sun rise and the moon set. On this day, he sat in the courtyard and sighed, thinking that he was also the number one person in the border army, why was he so desolate?

Tan Feng was thinking about going out to get drunk, and then going to Huajie Liuxiang to find 'Little Peach' to sleep for a night, when suddenly the gate of the yard was slapped, and someone shouted outside: "Tan Feng Tan Ye is at home?" Mr. Lee, please take a trip. ”

Hearing the words 'Master Li', Tan Feng stood up with a swoop and hurriedly opened the courtyard door. There was a small servant standing at the door who looked him up and down, and after asking for his identity, he asked him to change his clothes quickly, saying that he was summoned by Master Li. Listening to the urgency of the little servant, Tan Feng didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly cleaned himself up neatly, and went to the Li Mansion calmly.

Lord Li summoned him in the hall of the mansion, and after Tan Feng came in, he knelt down on one knee and bowed, "My subordinate Tan Feng came here in response to the summons, I don't know what your lordship commands?" ”

In the hall, Li Yongfang was drinking tea with Zhao Yihe. The two chatted on their own, but they didn't pay attention to Tan Feng. Tan Feng bowed his head and knelt below, feeling that the stone slab on the ground was so hard. He hadn't knelt for a long time, and he was very uncomfortable. But he also knew that Shangguan was grinding his temperament, if he didn't kneel well, there would be more embarrassing things waiting for him.

This kneeling is the kung fu of two or three pillars of incense, and Tan Feng is going to be angry. Li Yongfang in the hall coughed lightly, as if he had just seen someone kneeling underneath and said, "Oh, it turned out to be Brother Fengying, what are you doing kneeling." Get up and sit down on the side, I happen to have something to ask you today. ”

There were many official hats and chairs on both sides of the hall, but Tan Feng didn't dare to sit on them. The little guy who brought him brought a low stool and put it behind his buttocks, and he could only do half of it to show that he was trembling and didn't dare to despise Shangguan.

This number of gifts was sufficient, and Li Yongfang was satisfied in his heart. But Tan Feng below scolded in his heart: "His Laozi, Tan Ye should be a man, and there is no reason to suffer this bird crime." If you don't want to ask an official to do it, you really want to turn around and leave. He thought about it, and it turned out to be happier when Zhou Qingfeng's subordinates were mixed - but Zhou Qingfeng didn't give money alive or dead, so he was not happy.

"Feng Ying, this official won't tell lies today. I know that you didn't have a good time with Zhou Qingfeng, and the subordinates you finally recruited were slaughtered by that ruthless boy, and even you yourself had to flee with your life. Li Yongfang opened his mouth, and Tan Feng felt pain and hatred in his heart.

Zhou Qingfeng's kid is good at everything, but he refuses to delegate financial and personnel rights. For more than 200 years in the Ming Dynasty, didn't the officials all take money and spend it at will? The partial birth is that Zhou Qingfeng has many rules, which makes people not bored.

Tan Feng hurriedly told about the suffering he suffered under Zhou Qingfeng, to the effect that he managed dozens of people, but all he got was his monthly salary, and the rest of the money was not from his hands at all. finally thought of a way to sell coal for money, but he was driven out by Zhou Qingfeng again.

Li Yongfang listened but didn't talk, he and Zhao Yihe both looked at Tan Feng's expression carefully. The two of them nodded slightly after looking at each other, feeling that Tan Feng should have a lot of contradictions with Zhou Qingfeng, his words were fierce, and his resentment was quite deep, and this person could be used.

"Feng Ying, this official has recently verified that Zhou Qingfeng has repeatedly committed illegal things, and wants to take him down in one fell swoop. However, I heard that this person is good at training soldiers and is proficient in the way of military formation, so it is really difficult to deal with. Are you willing to be a pioneer for this official and take my subordinates to encircle and suppress the Zhou thief? ”

Hearing Li Yongfang's words, Tan Feng was ecstatic at first, and he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you for your promotion, my subordinates will definitely repay each other." And when his head hit the ground, he suddenly woke up and said secretly: No, I was driven away by Zhou Qingfeng, and that kid forced me to defect to Li Yongfang. I have nowhere else to go but to take refuge, is it all in his calculations?

Feeling as if he had fallen into a certain conspiracy net, Tan Feng instantly broke out in a cold sweat. But Li Yongfang in the hall was deeply satisfied with his active use of life, "This matter is decided." You go to the account office to get another ten taels of money, and you are familiar with the people of the official family, and you will be used in two or three days. ”

Tan Feng kowtowed again and slowly withdrew from the hall. The housekeeper of the Li Mansion sent him another seven taels of silver, and led him to take over the family team by the way. Li Yongfang had more than 30 skilled archers and horses, many of whom were Jurchen and Mongolian barbarians. There are a few of these people who have worked hard to gain spiritual power, but their cultivation is not very high.

Tan Feng's cultivation of three layers of muscles and bones, and one layer of qi and blood, really can't find an opponent among the family. And this team is also quite strong in his eyes, at least much stronger than the inspection team he commanded before.

"Zhou Qingfeng's kid is scheming, and he doesn't need me to deal with it. As long as I can kill all his men, I will take revenge. This is an opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and we must not miss it. ”

After all, the thirst for fame and fortune still overwhelmed the fear of Zhou Qingfeng. Tan Feng, who was hot-hearted, actually had mixed feelings about Zhou Qingfeng, wanting to repay both kindness and revenge, but more often than not. He used to be with Zhou Qingfeng a lot, and he knew that this little owner had a variety of methods and was not easy to deal with.

But because he knew too much, he didn't quite believe in the rumors in the market that he was 'the best in the world', and he didn't believe in the legend of Zhou Qingfeng turning into a golden armor giant and breaking the ground with one punch. He didn't contact Ma Chengta to confirm the fact that Zhou Qingfeng fought against Mang Gurtai, but he was more willing to believe that Zhou Qingfeng used some tricks to make a big hole to confuse the foolish people in the city.

"Master Li is a military general, and this time he will definitely take action in person. This court official has the blessing of official authority, and even Guo Budo has to retreat, and this time he will definitely be sure to be nine out of ten. Tan Feng continued to cheer himself up, and took out the silver money to invite the Li family to drink and eat to get closer to each other, so as to facilitate the command.

And on the night that Tan Feng was appointed, Wang Kai sent someone to invite him to a banquet. A few words of congratulations at the wine table, Wang Yuanwai confided in his posture of knowing the inside story, and in turn listened to Tan Feng's news. Tan Feng relied on Wang Kai to get through Li Yongfang's door, and he did not doubt him, so he told him that he was promoted by Li Yongfang to be the commander of the family and that he wanted to exterminate Zhou Qingfeng.

"Don't hide it from Brother Tan, this idea was actually me. Brother, I also recommended you to Master Li. Brother, you are also the number one person, and you should definitely not be buried because of this. It's only natural that Master Li values you. ”

"Tan has been repeatedly supported by the king, and such a great favor is really difficult to repay. I will do it first today, and whatever will come to me in the future. ”

"My brother is happy when he speaks, and he is much more straightforward than those officials who like to talk nonsense. Brother, I just like to make friends like you, and I really want to ask my brother for something. ”

"If you have something to do, just say it."

"I just want to know when Master Li will do it, and whether he will go out in person. You know that Master Li asked me to prepare money, but didn't tell me the specific time, brother, I am really embarrassed. ”

"About two or three days later, if the adults let me do it, I will send someone to say to the outside."

"Thank you, Brother Tan, thank you so much."

After the banquet, Wang Kai gave Tan Feng a hundred taels of silver. Tan Feng was immediately overjoyed, and even felt that this Wang Yuanwai was really a friend and righteous enough, and it was worth having a good relationship. In contrast, even Li Yongfang was too stingy, and only gave ten taels of rewards twice, and was deducted by the housekeeper of the Li Mansion.

After the banquet in the evening, Tan Feng felt that he had a bright future and wanted to travel thousands of miles. He went home with the silver and went home with great joy, but when he pushed the door and entered, he found that there was someone sitting in the courtyard. He immediately snorted coldly: "Who? ”

The person sitting just chuckled, blowing in front of Tan Feng like a gust of wind. He immediately stiffened, not daring to move, for a sharp blade had cut through his flesh across his throat.

The chuckling man whispered in Tan Feng's ear: "I heard that Brother Tan has been promoted recently, so I came here to congratulate him." ”

Tan Feng's throat was agitated, and he couldn't figure out where this person came from for a while. He only knew that his cultivation was higher than his own, and now he only had the share of obedientness. The chuckler said again: "I heard that Brother Tan has a grudge against that Zhou Qingfeng, and so do I. Why don't you and me join forces? ”

"Who the hell are you?" Tan Feng said in a suppressed voice. He was afraid that his voice would be loud and his throat would be cut first.

"I'm no brighter than Brother Tan, I always hide and hide on weekdays, and I have a name called 'thorn' on the rivers and lakes." Said the chuckler.

"You are the assassin sent by the Jianzhou Ministry to kill Zhou Qingfeng? If you want to kill Zhou Qingfeng, kill it, what are you looking for me to do? Tan Feng exclaimed.

"I've suffered a big loss at that kid's hands before, and recently I heard that kid has become very powerful, so I have to be careful this time. I heard Ma Chengta say that if you want to get rid of Zhou Qingfeng, you want to have a companion with Brother Tan. If you succeed, I will not show up. If there's any trouble, I wonder if I can help. ”

Listening to the simplicity of 'thorny', Tan Feng felt a strong wind invade his back, and it was tightly attached like a bone appendage. He suddenly exclaimed, "'Thorn', what the hell do you want to do? ”

"Shut up, from now on, just when I don't exist." The cold voice of 'treacherous' came from behind Tan Feng, but outsiders couldn't see his figure, "You should eat, you should sleep." After the deed is done, I will naturally leave, if not, you can ask for more blessings. ”

Only then did Tan Feng understand that this time he was only afraid that he would not be a long journey, but that he would fall into a bone-chilling whirlpool, and become a small chess piece driven by someone arbitrarily.
