Chapter 871: I'm afraid it's a trap
"Nothing?" Xia Fan shook his head and said: "I was just passing by and saw you here, so I came over by the way to take a look, you are doing well, keep up the good work, but there is one thing to pay attention to, pay attention to military discipline, there is no problem with burning, killing and looting, but the rest is not good, I don't want you people to become a group of unscrupulous bandits after you go back, if that's the case, I will kill people at that time." ”
"The Lord just rest assured, I will definitely strictly restrain them, whoever dares to do too much, I will enforce military law without the Lord doing it. Ge Changhe hurriedly said.
"That's good. Xia Fan nodded, and after casually admonishing a few more words, he turned around to leave, but he stopped when he remembered something, threw a delicate jade bottle to him and said: "This is the Chunhui Pill I refined not long ago, the medicinal effect is good, you are alone, take a pill to defend yourself, you must be careful when using it." ”
Speaking of which, Xia Fan also briefly talked about the medicinal properties of this winter to spring pill and the precautions when taking it.
"Thank you, Lord. Ge Changhe was overjoyed, holding the jade bottle in his hand and thanking him repeatedly.
"Thank you for not needing, take care of your errand. Xia Fan waved his hand at him, and then said: "You also have to pay attention to yourself, and everything is important to protect yourself." ”
"I see, thank you for your concern. Ge Changhe nodded.
Xia Fan chatted with him for a few more words and explained to him some of the things to be done in the future, and then he took off into the air and turned into a ray of light and flew towards Baishi City again.
............
Yunhuan Lake, the Chase Teahouse, which is one street away from the garrison's camp, has recently changed owners.
The original owner has always gambled indiscriminately, and not long ago he was pulled to play pai gow, and he gambled down, lost a lot of money, and was finally caught by the creditor to collect debts, and reluctantly sold the ancestral teahouse for three generations to pay off a butt of debts. This incident made all the people in the neighborhood know, and many people sighed that gambling money is really harmful, and when they can't help but worry about whether the tea in this Datong teahouse will be as good as before?
In fact, after the Chase Teahouse changed owners, although the shopkeeper and the guys were changed by the way, the tea was still as smooth as before, and even seemed to be a little better than when the teahouse was in the hands of the old owner. In this way, the accustomed tea customers quickly adapted to the change of ownership of the Chase Teahouse.
However, when the tea guests chatted in private, they inevitably had to talk about it, but everyone talked about it, only to find that none of them had any impression of the new owner, and they didn't even know what his surname was. However, everyone has a good impression of the new shopkeeper.
This person claimed to be surnamed Gu, ancient and modern, and his name was not said, so everyone called him Gu Shopkeeper. Usually, the ancient shopkeeper doesn't like to settle accounts, but he is willing to chat with the tea guests while drinking tea, and sometimes even hear who said something that interests him and will exempt the person's tea money, listen to him say that he is thinking about writing a book that records all kinds of strange things, so he takes advantage of the time to open a teahouse to listen to the rare things that everyone tells, and maybe it will be written into the book in the future.
In this way, the tea guests were more interested in chatting, and from time to time they told the ancient shopkeeper some rare things they heard or saw. The ancient shopkeeper also does not refuse to come, whether it is good or not, useful or not, he will listen patiently, which makes the tea customers who already like to chat while drinking tea more and more willing to chat with him.
It's just that today, the Gu shopkeeper didn't come out as usual to listen to everyone talk about rare things, which made many tea guests who were used to his presence couldn't help but ask the guys: Where did the Gu shopkeeper go? Why didn't you see him come out to chat with everyone?
The guy was kind, and hurriedly explained: The ancient shopkeeper has some housework to deal with, and he will naturally come when he is done.
Of course, the ancient shopkeeper was not busy with housework, but was listening to the tasks assigned by the boss in the backyard of the teahouse.
This ancient shopkeeper is none other than Gu Wu, the capital of the Qianlong Guard, who has always followed the prince and is loyal, and this time he was ordered to come to kill Xia Fan. And sitting opposite him at this time was the most famous dragon general in the Qianlong Guard, Long Teng.
The current Dragon Tenglong General is still wrinkled, his beard is white, and he is holding a cane in his hand, giving people the feeling of an old dragon clock, but his eyes are unusually bright and clear, and he looks like a newborn child, and the aura on his body is also very peaceful, and even makes people feel so flat that they are almost imperceptible.
They were the same dragon guards who had been ordered to infiltrate Xia Fan's territory and wait for an opportunity to kill him. The reason why they chose the location of the lurking place in Yunhuan Lake, instead of Baishi City, is also because this side is more prosperous and the population is more dense, especially now that the tripartite war in Lanyu is domestical, people are panicking, so many people who have left their hometowns come to Yunhuanhu Lake in order to find a way to live, which is also easy for them to lurk faster and wait for a good opportunity.
And White Rock City is different, although everyone knows that it is where Xia Fan's base camp is located, but it is like a big military camp now, there are not many ordinary people at all, and it is rare to accept outsiders to enter. Not to mention that there are a lot of people who came this time, even if there are only ten or eight, I am afraid that they will not be able to hide easily.
"Guwu, you understand what I just said. Long Teng looked at Gu Wu and asked.
Gu Wu was still in a violent shock at this time when he heard the information that Long Teng had just said, so that he woke up after a while, and then smiled bitterly: "I understand, I understand, but my subordinates really can't understand, Xia Fan is just the strength of the Divine Spirit Realm, how can he kill General Long Fei?"
"What's wrong with this, didn't it be said in the information sent by General Manager Liu, it is very likely that the three powerhouses who are already in the middle of the Grandmaster Realm, Jade Rat and Yellow Bull are secretly attacking and helping Xia Fan kill Long Fei. Speaking of this, Long Teng sighed and said: "I said Long Fei a long time ago, let him not always spend his energy on raising that Sky Devouring Worm, although that insect is good, it is not worth him to feed with his own essence and blood, otherwise, the strong man in the early stage of the Grandmaster Realm will not be so weak, and he will be killed casually." ”
"What about Xia Fan?" Gu Wu is not good at answering Long Teng's words, after all, even if Long Fei is dead, he used to be a powerhouse in the Grandmaster Realm, and Long Teng can comment on him but he is not qualified for this, so he casually diverted the topic.
"Naturally, I want to kill him. Long Teng respectfully arched his hand in the direction of the capital of the Han Dynasty and said: "The emperor has an edict to kill a chaotic minister and thief like Xia Fan, and we will naturally do our best to complete it, what is there to ask?
When it came to the word disobedience, Long Teng's eyes looked at Gu Wu fiercely, his eyes were like torches, with a bit of scrutiny and a faint killing intent, as if he wanted to see through all his internal organs, as long as he had the slightest disobedience, he would not hesitate to kill him.
"General Long is angry, of course his subordinates will not disobey his orders, the emperor's will is the mission of his subordinates, and his subordinates are also worried, the intelligence says that before General Long Fei died, Xia Fan had been dealing with him for a few days, and his subordinates were worried that since he had the ability to entangle with General Long Fei for so long without being killed, then his strength would definitely not be too weak, if we killed him according to our original plan, wouldn't it be inappropriate?" Gu Wu said this, looked at Long Teng and said: " The killing of Xia Fan this time is an errand given to us by the emperor before he ascended the throne, and it is a pity that General Long Fei died in the line of duty, but it also makes the emperor not very satisfied with us, if there is something wrong this time, my subordinates are worried about ......"
"If you have any ideas, just say it. Long Teng closed his eyes, as if he was recuperating his spirits.
"That's what his subordinates think......" After getting permission, Gu Wu was overjoyed, and he was ready to say the plan he had been thinking about for a long time.
It's just that before Gu Wu finished speaking, he suddenly heard a commotion outside, and then a shop guy disguised as Qianlong Wei hurriedly ran over and said, " Report to the two adults, Xia Fan is back, but he did not come to Yunhuanhu, but went directly to Baishi City, the eyeliner everywhere said that Xia Fan's soldiers and horses are being mobilized, it seems that they are guarding against something, and some important personnel under him have also put down their military and political affairs to go to Baishi City, and his subordinates have just heard a rumor, and it has not been confirmed whether it is true or false......"
"Speak. "Gu Wudao.
"Rumor has it that Xia Fan was quite embarrassed when he returned to White Rock City, and it seemed that he was extremely seriously injured. The subordinates specially asked the colleagues who were responsible for monitoring the periphery of Baishi City, although they did not have a way to infiltrate the city to investigate the specific situation, but they said that as soon as Xia Fan entered Baishi City, the city protection array was opened, and at the same time, there were constantly patrolling soldiers and horses being sent out to patrol around, and they were almost exposed several times, and it could be seen that the defense of Baishi City had indeed become much tighter, so they deduced that Xia Fan was seriously injured nine times out of ten. The dragon guard who came in was silent after saying everything he had discovered.
"Gu Wu, what do you think?" Long Teng pondered for a long time before slowly asking.
"My subordinates are also a little uncertain now. Gu Wu frowned, and said: "This information came suddenly, it is difficult to determine its truth for a while, it stands to reason that Xia Fan has been chased and killed by General Long Fei for so long, and the two must have experienced many battles, with the strength of General Long Fei's Grandmaster Realm, even if he fails to kill Xia Fan, it is natural to injure him or even severely injured him, so it is reasonable for Xia Fan to return injured, and then hide in the Baishi City that he thinks is the safest to recuperate." Just ......"
When Gu Wu said this, he suddenly stopped talking, but his eyes flickered.
"What are you worried about? Could it be that this is a trap?" asked Long Teng.
"That's right, my subordinates do have such worries. Gu Wu nodded and said: "The subordinates have dealt with Xia Fan before, and they know him a little, although he is young, but he is old and meticulous and scheming, it is gratifying to be friends with him, but it is really a headache to be an enemy with him, he is suddenly back now, and then the news of his injury came out, no matter how his subordinates think about it, they feel that there is fraud in it." ”
