Marquis Zhenyuan didn't expect that Fan Shimou would be so bold and daring to contradict himself: "Brother Bufan was invited down the mountain by this Hou, and he is the guest of honor of Lord Hou, how to settle it, I have my own decision, and it is not your turn Lord Fan to have the final say."

"Hou Ye's words are wrong, now that Hou Ye is in my Huguang territory, the safety of you and the county lord of Anping is the responsibility of the lower officials, and the lower officials can't sit idly by and watch Hou Ye miss the opportunity to suppress bandits."

Fan Shimou knew that today he must stop the Marquis of Zhenyuan from investigating this case thoroughly at all costs, even if he tears his face and fights to the death, the following crimes are lighter than the crime of deliberate rebellion. Moreover, he is now on his own territory, with only 3,000 soldiers and horses, and even if he is well-trained, he will definitely not be his opponent.

"Xiang'er, order the archers to prepare rockets and attack the mountain immediately!"

"You dare!" Hou Ye scolded angrily: "Anping is still on the mountain, do you want to set fire to the mountain?" ”

"Xiao Jinshan is a husband who is not open, and now Bufan is already in our hands, the only way to take fire attack is the most effective shortcut, and it is inevitable to sacrifice a handful of people."

"Presumptuous! Fan Shimou! Today's matter, it seems that this marquis does not need to be thoroughly investigated, what you have done has already revealed your crime. You are clearly a thief with a weak heart, so you are angry and want to kill people, right? Zhen Yuanhou pointed to Fan Shimou's nose and asked sharply.

"Hou Ye believes in slander and wants to frame the innocent, but the lower officials really can't bear to see Hou Ye blinded by thieves and delay the fighter, so he can only strike first, Hou Ye is offended. The inside story is allowed to be Chen Yu after the official. ”

Fan Shimou pointed forward at Xiaojin Mountain: "Archer, aim at that flammable place for me, shoot as much as you want, burn Xiaojin Mountain, and don't let go of any of them, if anyone dares to disobey the order, there will be no mercy!" ”

Hou Ye's face suddenly sank, and the cold air burst out all over his body, and he asked in a cold voice: "Lord Fan, is this trying to bully more and less?" ”

"Don't dare to disobey Hou Ye's orders, it's just that the sword has no eyes, and Hou Ye should not interfere." Fan Shimousen said coldly, full of arrogance.

The cavalry behind the Marquis of Zhenyuan was still indifferent, his face was indifferent, as if the Hou Ye's anger had nothing to do with him. However, Baili Jiu could feel that these soldiers were originally like bows and arrows ready to fire, they tightened their bowstrings anytime and anywhere, and they didn't need to deliberately prepare at all. The saber on his waist was also eager to try at this time, just waiting for Hou Ye's order, he could instantly destroy the withering and decay, and smash the place that Hou Ye pointed at.

The two of them were tense in an instant, the atmosphere froze, and the battle seemed to be on the verge of breaking out.

"Fan Shimou, have you ever thought about what will happen if you do this?" Zhen Yuanhou took the lead and said: "You are the enemy of the entire Great Chu, this is to rebel!" ”

Fan Shimou snorted coldly again: "As long as Master Hou doesn't have the evidence of my Fan Shimou's crime, it's in vain to say anything, but it's just a trumped-up charge." Originally, Xia Guan wanted to marry Qin and Jin with Hou Ye, so that they could share weal and woe in the future and soar together, but Hou Ye listened to and believed it, and Xia Guan was really helpless, so he could only apologize sincerely to Hou Ye after the war subsided. ”

"Soaring? Fan Shimou, Ben Hou can't afford to climb high! If what Bu Fan said is true, you are secretly recruiting troops, I'm afraid there is some shady conspiracy, right? Zhen Yuan waited to see Fan Shimou making such a desperate bet, and suddenly understood a little bit in his heart.

Fan Shimou pondered: "Can Master Hou take a step to speak?" ”

Marquis Zhenyuan waved his hand categorically: "The Tao is different, not conspiring with each other, Benhou has nothing to say to a rebellious thief like you!" ”

The words of the Marquis of Zhenyuan completely sealed Fan Shimou's intentions, and Fan Shimou knew from his resolute attitude that there was no room for turnaround.

"So what? There are more than 30,000 men under Fan's command, Master Hou, with your 3,000 soldiers and horses, how do you plan to deal with the crime of disrespect of this official? ”

Fan Shimou spoke like this, and his attitude was arrogant, and there was immediately a disturbed restlessness among the soldiers behind him, and many of the original imperial court garrisons whispered in disbelief.

Zhen Yuanhou was angry, and pointed at Fan Shimou with a trembling hand: "The kid is arrogant, the following offenses are considered to be the wrong ones for this Hou Ye, and he even married the little girl to your Fan family!" ”

Fan Shimou no longer needed to care about any feelings, and snorted coldly from the end of his nose with disdain: "What kind of treasure do you think your daughter is?" If it weren't for the fact that this official admired the prestige of the Hou Ye and wanted to unite your forces to participate in a righteous act, do you think I would go to your Yunnan to propose marriage? Wronged my child? It's just a woman who is tired of being played by him and abandons like a shoe, do you think it's so glorious? ”

Zhen Yuanhou was so angry that his face was red, and his nostrils were wide open, like a wild horse that had been running for a long time and was panting for breath.

"Baili Jiu, are you still going to sit idly by?"

Baili Jiuzheng watched the two people fighting each other with a taste, and was coldly named, and he couldn't react for a while, so he responded ignorantly, and said quite depressedly: "I'm just a waste now, I have a lot of blood, and I can't even count a green onion, what can I do?" ”

"What can you do? Baili Jiu, don't forget, you are a person from Baili Mansion, you can turn things around, you can defend Da Chu, you can kill traitors, you can do a lot of things. This is all your responsibility in Baili Mansion! Baili Mansion is the embodiment of loyalty and righteousness, and it is the optimus stone of the people of Great Chu, and it has never been a symbol of power. What you can do has never had anything to do with your official position. ”

Zhen Yuan looked at Bailijiu, his tone was sonorous, and he said that Bailijiu's blood was boiling.

Baili Jiu rode out from behind the two of them, and said in high spirits: "Disaster to the country and traitors, everyone will be punished, Xiao Jiu will naturally not stand by and watch, and is willing to listen to the orders of the Hou Ye." ”

"Good!" Zhen Yuanhou praised: "He Baili Kun is a battlefield hero, his son has never been a nest, Baili Jiu, this marquis will hand over all the soldiers and horses to you for disposal, what will you do?" ”

Baili Jiu turned around and looked behind Zhen Yuanhou: "Just these three thousand soldiers and horses?" ”

Zhen Yuanhou nodded: "This is Benhou's most proud Shenji battalion, one in a hundred, tempered by thousands of tempers, you can fight a hundred, what, too little?" ”

3,000 against 10,000, and they still have more than 20,000 troops as solid backing, is it too little?

Baili Jiu said with a hippie smile: "The soldiers are in the essence and not in the many, a lot, a lot, enough." ”

One sentence made Fan Shimou laugh loudly: "I don't think I can do it, it's the first time I've seen such a strong person." ”

Bailijiu still didn't care, turned around and pointed at Xiaojin Mountain: "There are still three or four thousand soldiers and horses on the mountain, does five or six thousand soldiers and horses count?" ”

"According to the information received by this official last night, he has less than a thousand soldiers and horses on Xiaojin Mountain, and the caves on the mountain are connected to each other. We were all lied to yesterday, and so were you. Fan Shimou said proudly.

Baili Jiu couldn't help but be secretly frightened, all the mountains have been under martial law, and since yesterday, all personnel are not allowed to enter or leave again, how did their news come out? It seems that this Fan Shimou has already laid eyeliner in Xiaojinshan, and he has the mind to get rid of it quickly. No wonder he is unscrupulous and so arrogant.

Baili Jiu was frightened, and his face was revealed, which made Fan Jinxiang smile proudly.

"So, didn't I lose badly?" Baili Jiu stomped his feet in annoyance: "Master Hou, do we have any hole cards?" ”

Marquis Zhenyuan snorted lightly and shook his head.

"Obediently tie your hands and take it, right?" Fan Jinxiang squinted at him, full of disdain.

"That's not right," Baili Jiu scratched his head: "The soldiers behind you are also the generals of Great Chu, they are sent by the imperial court, how can they help the evil and dare to listen to you and imprison the dignified Marquis of Zhenyuan of Great Chu?" ”

Fan Jinxiang was proud, and finally suppressed Baili Jiu's arrogance, and couldn't help blurting out: "Our own soldiers, if we don't listen to our command, will we listen to you?" ”

Fan Shimou wanted to dissuade him, but it was too late, so he glared at him dissatisfied.

Baili Jiu took a step back in horror, pointed at Fan Jinxiang and said, "You... Do you mean to say that these soldiers were recruited by you privately and ate the salary of the imperial court, but they were not assigned by the imperial court?! ”

Fan Jinxiang got his father's eyes, and he didn't dare to say more, just snorted coldly.

"Master Hou, did you hear that? Fan Gongzi has already admitted it himself, they turned out to be such wolf ambitions, this is the evidence! ”

The Marquis of Zhenyuan was also taken aback, and his Shenji battalion generals were also moved, and they all looked sideways. originally thought that Fan Shimou was just greedy for a little merit and reward, and in order to cover up the crime, he didn't take him in the eyes of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, which was too rampant. And now that Fan Jinxiang personally admitted that he had recruited troops and bought horses privately, and then thought of the weapon forging case during this time, he immediately suddenly realized.

"Fan Shimou, it turns out that you really want to rebel?!"

Fan Shimou saw that now that the matter had been completely exposed, he knew that even if he defended himself, he would not be able to hide it, and he would have a large number of people, so he would detain all the Marquis of Zhenyuan and Bailijiu today, block the news, or expose it, it would be better than leaking secrets, and he could only wait for death.

An abacus not only failed, but also caused trouble for himself, and Fan Shimou was annoyed in his heart.

"Come on, give it to me, catch all the Marquis of Zhenyuan and Bailijiu, everyone waits, don't let anyone go."

Among the soldiers, some of the cronies and generals immediately led the soldiers forward, flashing the swords and guns in their hands. Others stood still, looking at each other. Of course, the people of the Hou Ye Mansion are not vegetarians, how could they let them do the tricks, immediately stepped forward, the waist knife was cold and light out of the sheath, and the majestic Baili Jiu and the Marquis of Zhenyuan were protected behind.

The situation was somewhat delicate for a while, with three sides and one side on its own. Only Hou Ye was so angry that his face was red, and he covered his heart and gasped.

Baili Jiu was in danger, protected the Marquis of Zhenyuan, and said to Fan Shimou with a smile: "Lord Fan, let's settle the account, right?" ”

He and the Marquis of Zhenyuan are now hand-to-hand, Fan Shimou is not in a hurry, he rode on the horse, and looked at Baili Jiu coldly: "You finally figured it out?" ”
