First night.

Xia Fan and the others chose to settle in a place called Gushui County.

According to Lu Shaoyang's estimate, it will take at least five days to travel from Nanjun to Wanyang.

If they had traveled lightly and quickly, this time could have been cut by more than half.

However, there was Wang Huan, a wounded soldier in the team, which undoubtedly greatly slowed down their speed.

Xia Fan didn't mind this.

In the final analysis, Wang Huan was injured because of him, and since the other party insisted on going north with him, he naturally would not treat him as a burden.

What's more, the relief army that captured Wanyang will not be able to run away for a while and a half.

There was no need for him to rush it.

Although he did have a little eagerness to find out who had first come up with their slogan.

Xia Fan is a liberal arts student.

The political and historical places in the college entrance examination literature comprehensive have been memorized very well, and even after many years, he can vaguely remember the key points of knowledge in it.

As the largest peasant uprising in modern domestic history, the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom Movement is undoubtedly one of the knowledge points that must be memorized in history subjects.

In particular, as the revolutionary program of the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom, all the students who memorized the college entrance examination in this regard had more or less some impressions of the slogan of the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom.

Therefore, as soon as Xia Fan heard Lu Shaoyang's slogan of saving the suffering army, the memories hidden in his mind instantly came back.

What a coincidence.

Everything happened to be the result of someone deliberately.

Xia Fan is a traverser, this is his biggest secret in this world.

He had thought about why he had crossed over, but it was just personal speculation.

In the end, he was relieved, instead of thinking about his own troubles, it was better to let himself live more freely.

Now someone suddenly told him that you may not be a lonely traverser, how can this make Xia Fan continue to maintain a normal heart?

No one can understand Xia Fan's loneliness.

This feeling is like a person who has come from his hometown to a big city to work hard, and a person who has studied abroad in an unfamiliar foreign country......

Even if you try to adapt to your surroundings, deep down you still feel out of place.

What's more—

Xia Fan is in a completely strange world.

Social environment, cultural concepts, exchange of ideas.

These huge differences constitute an invisible barrier between each other.

In a nutshell.

He has no kind.

He craves his kind.

At the very least, it's good that someone can understand what they're playing!

This at least proves that he is not alone.

But the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

What if this is really a coincidence?

That's why he has a complex mentality of gaining and losing.

"Childe, it's time for us to go. ”

Early the next morning.

After eating breakfast in the lobby of the inn, Lu Shaoyang suddenly said cautiously to the absent-minded Xia Fan.

Since he learned Xia Fan's true identity from Wang Huan, his attitude towards Xia Fan has obviously become a lot more respectful.

Anyway, now that Xia Fan is pointing to the east, he definitely doesn't dare to propose to go west.

"Let's go. ”

Xia Fan sighed inexplicably, got up and walked out of the inn.

Soon after leaving Gushui.

Lu Shaoyang, who was riding in front of the team, noticed the smoke and dust billowing in the distance, and immediately signaled Xu Ping'er to move the carriage to the edge of the official road, and at the same time did not forget to remind Xia Fan.

"Childe, there are a large number of people riding horses ahead, we might as well get out of the way, so as not to have unnecessary misunderstandings. ”

"Hmm. ”

Xia Fan replied casually, adjusted the horse's head and moved to the side of the road.

Seeing this, Lu Shaoyang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then he turned his gaze back to the galloping people and horses in the distance.

Moment.

The people and horses in the distance gradually approached, and the ground under their feet shook slightly.

"Takeshi Zhen?"

It's just that Lu Shaoyang's eyes widened instantly and muttered to himself after seeing the clothes and outfits of this team.

However, this team of centaurs didn't pay attention to Xia Fan and them on the side of the road at all, and they roared past them in the blink of an eye, as if they were shouldering some important task of 100,000 urgent.

"They're from the Takeshi Clan?"

When everyone was drifting away, Xia Fan appeared beside Lu Shaoyang at some point.

"Hui Gongzi, it is indeed the people of Zhenwu Division who passed over just now, have you noticed that these people are embroidered with goshawk patterns on their clothes?" Lu Shaoyang hurriedly said. "And the goshawk is the unique emblem of the Zhenwu Division. ”

"How did the people from the Zhenwu Division end up here?"

Xia Fan subconsciously looked back at the people and horses in the distance.

"I suspect that these people from the Zhenwu Division should be from Wanyang. Lu Shaoyang guessed. "After all, after the loss of Wanyang, the next target of the Rescue Army is very likely to be Nanjun, and it is impossible for the imperial court to sit idly by and watch Nanjun fall, so it will inevitably let the people of Zhenwusi rush to Nanjun to assist in the defense......"

"I think these people from the Martial Arts Division are planning to go to Nanjun for help. Xia Fan said thoughtfully.

"Asking for help?" Lu Shaoyang said puzzled. "Now that Nanjun is in danger of protecting itself, how can the people of Zhenwu Si ask Nanjun for help?"

"Have you forgotten that there is a grandmaster in Nanjun?" Xia Fan said lightly.

"I think about it, there are indeed rumors about this on the rivers and lakes. Lu Shaoyang said suddenly.

"If the people of the Zhenwu Division can say that the grandmaster to make a move, and at the same time, coupled with the mutual attack of the northern imperial court, do you think Wanyang's Rescue Army can still hold on?" Xia Fan shook his head and said.

"Can't ......," Lu Shaoyang said with a solemn expression. "The question is, will that Grandmaster from Nanjun really make a move?"

"Who knows. ”

Xia Fan said excitedly.

"In this way, the imperial court is ready to solve the problem of rescuing the army once and for all. Lu Shaoyang sighed. "Otherwise, once the relief army is allowed to flow to the south, the future will inevitably be big. ”

"No matter how corrupt and dark a court is, there are capable people, especially when the building is about to collapse, there is always no shortage of people with lofty ideals who try to turn the tide. ”

Xia Fan said casually.

"In fact, the imperial court does not have the incompetence you imagined, and you will know when you go to the capital in the future. Lu Shaoyang said with a complicated expression.

"Listen to what you mean, it seems that you still have some thoughts about this court?" Xia Fan said.

"It's not so much a thought as a pity. Lu Shaoyang smiled bitterly. "Many times, it's not that the imperial court doesn't want to govern the country well, but that the country is hard to return, and the imperial court is really powerless. ”

"I think every dynasty that has ever ruled this land is aggrieved. Xia Fan said in a calm tone. "Because these dynasties are more like big stewards of the hands than the real rulers of the land. ”

There are powerful clans in the local area that hold real power, and there is a peerless sect with a vote above their heads that is like a major shareholder of the board of directors.

The major shareholders think you're doing a good job and keep going.

Once you don't do a good job, it's a big deal to change another one.

You think you're the chairman of the board, but you're actually a part-time worker for the major shareholders.
