Chapter 369: Two Mansions, Two Families
In the autumn of the eleventh year of the dynasty, a sudden victory made the people of the entire two counties in the northwest immersed in joy, the two marquis in the northwest shot together, killing as many as 50,000 elites of the three wildernesses, 10,000 tribal troops, and nearly 1,000 desolate people, among which there was also the great master Shen Tianci, who was familiar to the entire northwest, fell on the battlefield together, and also killed the prince of the heavenly desolate royal court, such a record made the entire northwest fall into boiling joy.
The great joy overwhelmed the minds of countless people, but only a few knew how much they had paid for such a victory, and those who had paid countless costs for it chose to remain silent.
Returning with a great victory, some actions are naturally impossible to stop, and those generals in the army naturally know that in the entire Northwest Border Army, the Eight Xiang Army was almost disabled, and the entire 50,000 army is now only more than 10,000 people left, and the eighteen envoys with millions of money have all been transferred.
Now that the Qian Mansion has become depressed, he is one of the few silent people in this joyful northwest.
Qian Million sat in the mansion, coughed lightly, looked at his worried wife and daughter beside him, and smiled gently: "There's nothing to worry about, since you have stepped down, it's not a big deal." ”
"Dad, I'm sorry. In the past 20 years of Qian Xiaoxiao's life, he said these three words to his father for the first time.
Qian Million chuckled, "Silly girl, how can I blame you." ”
"None of this would have happened if I hadn't been caught. Qian Xiaoxiao lowered his head.
"Child, maybe I should tell you, things are not as simple as you think, when the eighteenth listener went out to save you, all this was inevitable, Wang Tengfei was really smart, he didn't stop the rescue at the beginning, but chose to endure, but he didn't give up, your arrest, the follow-up plans are all from his handwriting, he is really handsome, this time he can make the two marquis so desperate, it is because of his persuasion, but this bait is also put by him personally, he knows that Xiang Rongzhen is strong enough, and the Zhong family is his Wang family's retainers, naturally it is impossible, so my million-dollar eight-phase army is the best bait. ”
Taking a sip of the tea in the cup, Qian Million continued: " And this is still a matter of course, I don't have a choice at all, before such a plan, it was a deal, they brought you out, and I had to let the Eight Phase Army do the bait, let the tribal army and the desolate brigade leave the battlefield here, in this way, the dynamics of the prince of the desolate sky learned through the internal report is the real purpose of this battle, he Wang Tengfei calculated everything, no one let go, this time except for some small details Wang Jian modified a little, everything else was arranged by him, even the time, The location and number of people were all arranged by them, and even I had to admit that he was really strong. ”
Qian Xiaoxiao was a little stunned, she never thought that there were so many stories behind her arrest.
"Why?"
"Because of a person, Su Li, the queen wanted him to die, but he didn't die, Qiankun Wei General Yue He is the queen's person, but because the young man died, the Wang family needs to give the queen an explanation, so this is also one of the reasons, but unfortunately the young man has not died until now. Qian Million sighed with emotion.
Qian Xiaoxiao was taken aback, "Isn't Su Li already dead in the God and Demon Tower?"
"He appeared in the wasteland, and it was because of him, the young generation of the Northwest who went to save you that they were able to survive, if not, you think that the entire Northwest can still be so quiet now, and the people of those families have chosen to shut up, but it is because their children survived, otherwise, how could they be so quiet. Qian Million's tone was slightly mocking, and there was a hint of disdain.
The woman standing next to the father and daughter smiled gently and said softly: "My world is only so big, just the two of you, as long as you are fine, since you have resigned from your official position, let's leave the northwest and take Xiaoxiao to see Jiangnan, and it just so happens that I will go back to my mother's house to have a look." ”
"Listen to you!"
"Listen to my mother. ”
Mobei Wufu, Wufu City has always been the most prosperous place in the entire Mobei County, and now the news of the victory in the northwest has come, and the entire Wufu City is cheering, but the east of the city is still as stable as Mount Tai, without the slightest noise.
This is the most noble place in the entire Wufu City, and the average rich businessman is not qualified to sit here at all, you must know that even if it was the original Qiankun Wei Sipin General Yue He, he is not qualified to buy a house here, you can imagine how noble it is.
Now in the Fan Mansion, Fan Changhou, who is the county guard of Mobei, is sitting in the mansion and seems to be indifferent to the joy outside.
The return of Fan Tianxin and Fan Wuwu made everyone who was originally worried about the Fan family breathe a sigh of relief, and now the old lady personally issued a grounding order, and during this time, no one was ordered not to leave the Fan Mansion.
For the old lady's two grandsons can be regarded as very filial, and the Fan family has always been a single lineage, finally this generation has produced two such promising people, the old man has been very happy in recent years, but when the last time the two grandsons left the Fan Mansion, the old man broke out into a thunderous rage, pointing at the son who is the county guard and scolded, especially when he learned that the two grandsons went to save people.
The old man directly carried a long sword, came to Fan Changhou's study, and directly inserted a sword on the table made of five hundred years of ebony, the old man was not polite at all, although he did not practice in this life, but the momentum was not weak at all, looking at his son and said indifferently, if the two grandsons are gone, this son, my old man is not ready to ask for it, you can do it yourself.
Feeling the anger of the old man, Fan Changhou had no choice but to nod bitterly, and sent out a lot of the strength under his hands, but now fortunately, the two sons have returned, otherwise he really believes that his father can slaughter him with a sword.
Sometimes he really feels that his son is not as important as his two sons.
The old man is almost seventy, and it is rare for people to reach seventy, maybe the cultivator can live a few more years, but the old man has not practiced in his life, and he can live to this age, in the words of the old man himself, he should be content.
The old man knew in the mouth of his son Fan Changhou beside him that the battle in the northwest was won, but there was no joy in the old man's eyes, he opened his eyes, which had begun to be a little cloudy, and asked softly, as if he was afraid of disturbing the souls of the deceased, "How many died?"
Fan Changhou, as the guard of a county, although he has been pressed under Wang Jian in Mobei, who holds military power, but with his own ability, he can be regarded as having been steadily moving up in this circle, and he is naturally clear about the specific data of the war, and softly reported the number to the old man.
Listening to the thrilling number, the old man not only did not have the slightest joy, but a trace of anger welled up on his face, and he was afraid of the wooden table beside him, so that his two grandsons came to his side.
Looking at the two grandsons who came back from the brink of death, the old man said to the son beside him without the slightest politeness: "I know that you have been pressing yourself all these years, but you don't forget what you are, this time he can use the lives of the two children of my Fan family as bait, so there is no need to worry about that little balance." ”
The old man has not interfered in his own way of being an official for many years, since he really embarked on this road, the number of times the old man pointed out himself has been very small, most of the time he just watched, silent, but Fan Changhou did not feel that the old man was confused, and even sometimes when he encountered problems in life, the old man was always able to lightly dial a sentence or two at the last moment, so that he had passed a lot of difficulties, and now the old man spoke again, Fan Changhou stood aside very respectfully and listened.
"I don't let you fight all these years, because it's not interesting, Wang Jian is old after all, the dynasty has changed, the prince is over, he is going to come down after all, you are much younger than him, you can naturally go higher than him, so sometimes being alive is the biggest victory, but now it's different, since the Wang family has torn his face, then we don't need to give him a pocket, even if he is in charge of the entire border army in Mobei, don't those soldiers need to eat, drink, or women, these logistics, aren't they all in your hands." ”
"If he wants to mobilize materials, doesn't he need people? Don't he need local help? These are also the things I have been letting you run all these years, do you really think that with the army, you have everything? His Wang family is very strong, it is not wrong, but they are mistaken, the throat of his prince's army is in our hands, and this time he is not offending a person, the entire family in the northwest is now standing on the opposite side of him, and now these old guys in the East City of Wuyu, can they really swallow this breath? People fight for a breath, Buddha fights for a stick of incense, they are all so old, who is not looking forward to the future generations can grow up with peace of mind, if even this can not satisfy them, how can these old guys who have passed the bottom line be quiet, the more quiet they are now, the stronger they will be. ”
The old man seemed to be a little tired, found a bamboo chair, lay down, pulled the two grandsons to his side, and then continued: " Now they are waiting for our Fan family's decision, so many families have mastered a lot of money and foundation in the northwest, for so many years, these old guys do not participate in political and military affairs, just because they don't want to be too troublesome, they have reached the age of teasing their grandchildren, who wants to work so hard, and the rest of the things should be handed over to the children of the younger generation, but you don't forget, these generations of families are all down by the old guys of our generation, if the Wang family does not have us, it will not be able to stand so firmly. ”
"Father, I see. Fan Changhou nodded, he already understood what his father meant, he had been in obscurity for so long over the years, and it was time for some people to be sober.
Fan Wuwu on the side looked at his grandfather with a smile and said, "It's still grandpa's domineering, no, this evil breath should also come out well, brother, isn't Wang Tengfei very strong?
Fan Tianxin rolled his eyes helplessly at his younger brother, but there was still a trace of coldness in his eyes, obviously this account would not be so easy to settle.
The old man shook his head and smiled: " Fighting the country is a matter of grandfather and your grandfather for several generations, and it is also a responsibility, and now it is not bad, it has paved a good road for your father, and your father has picked up this burden by keeping the family business, and now it is the turn of the family to rise or go to the next level, it should be your brother's turn, worry-free, grandpa gave you this name, I hope you are carefree for a lifetime, but since your talent is here, help your brother, the family does not speak two words, Tianxin, as an elder brother, it is normal to be a little playful for a younger brother, especially with such a capable brother, this is even more so, when grandpa gave you this name, it was hoped that the sword heart was clear, but also hope that you can have a broad heart, and be able to see people farther and more thoroughly in case of trouble. ”
"Old man, in my life, I finally have two grandchildren, and I am reluctant to scold, you are good, you dare to play with the lives of my two grandchildren, this time the old man, I will play with you. ”
