Chapter 70: When False Is True, True Is False11
"What words did Xiaoya learn from Mr. today?" The old mother-in-law asked her granddaughter.
"Heaven and earth are yellow, and the universe is desolate. Eight words. The little girl said crisply: "Grandma, Mr. praised me for being smart, and I will also take the top exam in the future, and buy meat cakes for my grandmother to eat every day." β
"Okay, take the top prize, my little girl is so good!" The old woman grinned silently with her teeth gone.
"Do you say you have no clothes? With the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd. Work with the son! "A couple of men with shoulders on their shoulders humming majestic songs walked through the streets.
Looking at the men and women rubbing shoulders on the street, Fan Wen and Tao Qing finally relaxed.
Along the way, they carefully covered up, lest they would be discovered by Sun Xiao or Nie Yun's people, and they were worried that Qian Wuyong would go back on their word, and now they finally went home.
"Mr. Fan, have you figured out how to explain to the king?" Tao Qing asked curiously.
Fan Wen's eyes dodged left and right, and suddenly looked ahead: "Brother Zhu-" Fan Wen ran over excitedly.
When Zhu Yiyi saw the two of them coming back, surprise flashed in his eyes, and his face was serious: "As my great military division, how can I be so unruly?" Fan Wen, pay attention to your mannerisms, and know that you represent not only yourself, but also the king-"
"Alright! Brother Zhu, I know that you are actually very happy to meet me, but you can't express it. I forgive you! Fan Wen patted him on the shoulder and said generously.
Zhu Yiyi rubbed his eyebrows helplessly, and the corners of his mouth curved a small arc: "But it's still smooth?" β
"Can you have more faith in me?" Fan Wen said dissatisfiedly, "Everything couldn't be better." Can the king be in the royal palace? β
"The king went to the general's mansion." Zhu Yiyi lowered his voice and said, "The king has decided to wrap up." β
Fan Wen's eyes lit up: "It's been so long, finallyβ" He looked left and right in disguise.
"Two gentlemen," Tao Qing came over to greet him.
"General Tao, you should go back and see your wife and children as soon as possible, and the king will have something to tell you after a while." Zhu Heyi said.
Tao Qing was stunned for a moment, a little confused, but Zhu Yiyi never said useless gossip, he thanked him and turned to leave.
"How's it going?" Fan Wen and Zhu Yiyi walked down the street together.
"Everything was fine. The new scholars from the DPRK and China have all taught in the library for half a year, presided over some activities such as road construction, and are familiar with the lives of the common people. The king was really far-sighted. Zhu Heyi said admiringly.
Fan Wen replied with a smile: "No wonder they all say that you are the king's first confidant, and you can't leave the king in three words!" β
"I am a servant of the king, and I have always had the king in my heart." Zhu Heyi said without thinking, "Besides, the king Wen Tao and Wu are all unmatched, and he can be called the first Ming Jun!" The great cadres will surely reign in the world again, and the king will definitely be famous in history! β
Fan Wen secretly looked at Zhu Yiyi's fanatical face and said with some concern: "The king is also a humanβ"
"Shut up!" Zhu Yiyi shouted loudly, "The king is the son of the Holy Heaven, how can he be the same as a mortal? β
"Yes, yes, I know, the king is naturally the son of heaven. Don't say anything, I ask you to go drink and apologize. Fan Wen dragged Zhu Heyi's arm into the tavern.
"General Chen, what do you think of this plan?" Huo Ran put down the brush and looked at General Chen, who was already full of gray hair. In just three years, he has aged a lot.
General Chen closed his eyes and didn't say a word for a long time, until Wang Lang on the side was a little impatient, he opened his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "King, the old minister has been waiting for a lifetime, and finally sees the hope of Wang Shi's return!" β
Wang Lang was also very excited to see the old general's excited appearance, he was still in the prime of life, and he couldn't understand the shame and powerlessness of the country back then, but he also had the expectation of making contributions.
Huo Ran stood up and bowed deeply to General Chen: "I, the Feng Clan, thank you for sacrificing your lives to save you back then, and thank you seniors for your hard work!" β
"King, please forgive the old minister for being rude, he is really old and frail, and he can't sit for a long time." General Chen said apologetically.
"It's the widow who came here rashly today, and there are many disturbances. The widow returned to the palace first. Huo Ran saw that General Chen's mood fluctuated a lot, and he took Wang Lang to say goodbye with understanding.
"First Emperorβ" General Chen watched the two of them leave, and suddenly hid his face and cried loudly: "You can finally look at it!" β
He still remembered that the thin former king, who did not have the majesty of the current king, but in his eyes was the love for the great cadres and the people, but the former king was hindered by traitorous ministers and was finally killed. There was no trace of resentment in the eyes of the death, only the worry of the people and the guilt of the great cadres.
Wang Lang followed Huo Ran out of the General's Mansion and asked in a low voice, "King, the Great General is this?" β
"Wang Lang, do you know where you are worse than Wei Zhong?" Huo Ran asked.
"I'm not as good-looking as that kid." Wang Lang said with a smile.
Huo Ran glared at him: "No Wei is steady." Are you anxious to see Wei Chong collect five cities in a row? β
"King, to put it mildly, Wei Zhong and I grew up with you, and now Wei Zhong is about to take half of the Sun Thief's land, but I haven't made an inch-." Wang Lang said embarrassedly.
Huo Ran said with a straight face: "You treat me as a brother, don't I also treat you as a relative?" This is the first time you are leading the troops, and you must not rush forward, remember? β
"King Xie!" Wang Lang replied excitedly.
Back at the palace, Huo Ran and Wang Lang continued to work out the entire plan.
"King, that fine work, will it be solved this time?" Wang Lang said with some hatred. originally thought that all of them were loyal people except for Shi Lei, but they didn't expect ...... The king who lost trust him has a good reputation, but he lives up to the king so much!
"Sun Xiao is dead, Shi Lei is useless to keep, take the sixteenth first, but after you set off, don't startle the snake, this person will keep the flag for you." Huo Ran carefully looked at the map.
"The king, Xiangguo and the military advisor have arrived outside the palace." The maid came in and returned.
"Come in." After Huo Ran finished speaking, he pointed to a river on the map and asked Wang Lang, "What kind of place is this?" β
"It's the Fen River, the river is turbulent, I'm afraid it's not easy to take." Wang Lang said pertinently, and suddenly his eyes rolled: "King, why don't you try your divine fire?" In addition to blowing up Sun Xiao, it has never been known. We can go and blow up this embankment, andβ"
"No!" Huo Ran said solemnly, "Don't mention this matter again, the lower reaches of the Fen River are also the people of my Daqian, and the widow can wait, but you must not use this way, and you will not allow it, remember?" β
"King Shengming!" Zhu Yiyi, who heard the final conversation between the two, raised his voice and saluted at the same time.
Huo Ran said helplessly: "Xiangguo, there is no one in private, why be so polite." β
"You are a gentleman, and you should be." Zhu Yiyi looked at Wang Lang: "General Wang must not be in a hurry for quick success, loving the people like a son is the long-term way." β
