readx;?“ Why?, do you know my father?" Han Ling'er was first taken aback by Xie Zhen's expression, and then asked with a slight frown, "My father is indeed Han Xiao, the protector of the country!"

"Hiss!" As soon as Han Ling'er said this, Xie Zhen's body trembled suddenly, and then two lines of tears in his already red eyes could no longer be suppressed, and he looked at Han Ling'er with trembling eyes, his eyes were full of excitement. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info saw Xie Zhen slowly raise his right hand, trembling and pointing at Han Ling'er, and said word by word, "Like ...... It's a lot like ......."

"Like what?" Han Ling'er seemed to be a little frightened by Xie Zhen's violent reaction, and immediately involuntarily took a step back, and asked with a cautious face, "Who do you say I look like?"

"Who else could there be? Of course it's General Han Xiao!" Xie Zhen burst into tears and forced an ugly smile on his face towards Han Ling'er, originally he was crying and crying just now, but in the blink of an eye, he himself became like this, which made Lu Yifan and Ji Yuan can't help but wonder, "Your eyes and eyebrows are like General Han." There is one thing you don't know, when you were just born, I still saw you in the Han Mansion, and General Han still called you "Nan'er" at that time, right?" As he spoke, Xie Zhen's face once again showed a smile of good memories of the past.

"Nan'er?" Hearing Xie Zhen's words, Lu Yifan couldn't help but be stunned, and then he cast a curious glance at Han Ling'er, obviously he didn't know about this title.

At this moment, Han Ling'er heard these words, the expression on her face instantly froze, and she muttered to herself: "Nan'er, that's my milk name! Because my father has always hoped that I can be a son and a good son to inherit my father's business, so he gave me a milk name Nan'er, and later when I was three years old, my father gave me a more girlish name at the insistence of my mother, Han Ling'er! But not all of these things are known even to people in the Han Mansion...... So how do you know?"

"Can't be wrong! Can't be wrong!" Xie Zhen actually put on a look of gratitude and excitement at this moment, "I didn't expect you to be so old in a blink of an eye, it's really unforgiving! How is General Han?

"You haven't answered my question yet?" Han Ling'er became a little annoyed by being too curious, and she asked eagerly, "Who are you, and how can you know so much about me?"

Being drunk by Han Ling'er, Xie Zhen was stunned at first, and then a knowing smile appeared on his face, and then he opened his mouth again and smiled: "Your temper is really exactly the same as General Han back then, so you can't allow anyone to go around in circles with you." ”

"Then you still don't say it?" Han Ling asked angrily.

"I am ......" Xie Zhen just wanted to open his mouth to answer, but suddenly swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, and then before Han Ling'er could ask again, Xie Zhen's expression suddenly straightened, and then he reached out and quickly tidied up his robe, and then he actually knelt down on one knee in front of Han Ling'er in front of many onlookers, without any scruples, and the respectful look on his face was unprecedentedly dignified and formal.

"Wow!" Seeing this scene, the audience was in an uproar, and then looking at Lu Yifan and Ji Yuan, they were even more confused and stupid looking at everything that happened in front of them, such a scene seemed to Lu Yifan to be almost like a dream.

"Under the command of General Xia Han, the old department of the "Xie Ziying Commander" Xie Laosan, Xie Zhen!" Xie Zhen respectfully bowed, "Meet Miss!"

"You...... Are you the commander of Xie Ziying?" Xie Zhen's words made Han Ling'er exclaim, and her face instantly became even more exciting.

"Ling'er, what is Xie Ziying, and who is he?" Lu Yifan finally couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, and asked curtly.

"This Xie Zi Camp used to be an old department of my father many years ago, but it was disbanded for some reason, which is also a problem for my father for so many years. I have heard from my father more than once how he misses the Xie Ziying back then, and praised the Xie family for being brave and good at fighting, and has made countless contributions to the stability of the Holy Land!" Han Ling'er opened her mouth to explain, and then she changed her words and fell on Xie Zhen's body again, "Are you the third of the three brothers of the Xie family?"

"Exactly!" Xie Zhen nodded in response.

After Lu Yifan learned this, he couldn't help but look at Ji Yuan in surprise, and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect to meet Ling'er's old man in such a remote Wenyang City!"

"Yes, everything is really unpredictable!" Ji Yuan also echoed with emotion, "And looking at what the two of them said, I expected that the relationship between Xie Zhen and General Han back then must not be shallow." ”

"Let's go, let's not stand outside the city anymore, come with me into the city and go home, if the eldest brother knows that General Han's daughter is here, he will definitely die of joy!" Xie Zhen stood up excitedly, he completely ignored the surprised expressions of the people around him, and walked straight to the side and kicked away a few long knives inserted there, and also opened a gap in the original battle circle, and then he stood respectfully outside the circle, and made a gesture of please towards Han Ling'er, Lu Yifan, and Ji Yuan.

"Oh!" Han Ling'er subconsciously responded, and then she glanced at Lu Yifan and Ji Yuan, who were dazed, again, and the three of them walked towards the city one after the other.

When Lu Yifan walked in front of Xie Zhen, Xie Zhen also apologized in a low voice: "It was all a misunderstanding just now, and I hope the two little brothers don't mind!"

"Third Master Xie is serious, we are also responsible for it, and Ling'er's temper is not very good, just now he also over-verbally collided with several military masters guarding the city, so there will be this farce!" Lu Yifan is still quite aware of the righteousness at this point.

It doesn't matter if Lu Yifan doesn't say it, as soon as he said this, Xie Zhen once again remembered the ill-intentioned intentions of the few city defenders towards Han Ling'er just now, and his face turned cold at the moment, and a touch of killing intent suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"Come on, go and chop up those shameless beasts with eyes and beads for me and feed them to the dogs!"

As soon as Xie Zhen's words came out, Han Ling'er hurriedly persuaded: "This matter ...... After all, they didn't really treat me like that, they just talked about it......" At this point, a blush of shame and annoyance appeared on Han Linger's face again.

"Miss, if they really do something that is unconscionable, let alone kill a few of them, even if they slaughter our brothers, it will be difficult to forgive General Han!" Xie Zhen said righteously, "These beasts must not be spared, Miss, you are kind-hearted, but I must not tolerate them! Even if you don't chop them up and feed them to the dogs, you have to make them pay a painful price! You take Ah Tao over, and the next time of the pillar of incense will be on their heads, and whether they are dead or alive depends on their own luck! Hmph! ”

Xie Zhen gave an order, and several sergeants beside him agreed, and then led the huge pottery dog with iron chains again towards the city.

When the Tao Dog was passing by Lu Yifan, it also subconsciously dodged to the side, it seemed that the Tao Dog was already afraid of Lu Yifan, and Ji Zhi couldn't help but have a thick contemplation in his eyes after seeing the Tao Dog walk by. He has too many doubts and incomprehensions about this pottery dog.

Although Wenyang City is located in a remote area, the territory is not small, and there are nearly one million people living in the city.

Entering the city of Wenyang, you can see all the mottled houses and uneven dirt roads and broken brick paved streets, most of the people on the street are also in shabby clothes, the vegetable stalls and vendors placed everywhere on the street are also skinny and pitiful, the pattern of the market square in the city can be said to have no rules at all, there are half-blocked alleys and abrupt corners of the houses, and even in the very center of the street, you can see dead trees of different thicknesses every now and then, naïve children in tattered clothes are running and playing around on the street, and most of their fun lies in the sand piled on the ground and the stones picked up everywhere。 Through these, it is not difficult to see that although Wenyang City has a large population, it is not actually rich, and it can even be said that it is a little poor.

Compared with these ordinary people, the dress of a sergeant like Xie Zhen is much cleaner and neater.

Along the way, under the protection of Xie Zhen and a group of sergeants, the people on the street all retreated from Lu Yifan and the others.

Lu Yifan looked around at everything on the street, and couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect this Wenyang City to be so poor. ”

Xie Zhen smiled helplessly and said lightly: "Not really, it's not that there are no rich people in Wenyang City, it's just that there are too many poor people!"

"You followed my father well, why did you suddenly come to such a remote place?" Han Ling'er asked curiously.

"This ......" Hearing Han Linger's words, Xie Zhen's face suddenly appeared a rather embarrassed look, his eyes hesitated for a moment in frustration before he let out a heavy sigh, "Alas, it's a long story, let's go back to the mansion first!"

Seeing Xie Zhen's expression, Lu Yifan nodded thoughtfully, and the few people didn't say much, just silently walked through these broken streets towards the center of Wenyang City.

Xie Zhen's words are right, there are not no rich people in Wenyang City, just after Lu Yifan and the others walked through several dilapidated streets, what caught their eyes was something that made Lu Yifan and the others feel like a world away.

This is a tall archway, this archway is like a small city gate, the inside and outside are divided into two completely different worlds, and above the archway there are also two dragons flying phoenix dancing vermilion characters "inner city".

Inside the archway is the center of Wenyang City, that is, the so-called inner city, in which the pavilions and pavilions are lined up one after another, the buildings are neat and orderly, the bluestone paving, the streets are clean and standardized, although the buildings are far from being comparable with the grand occasion of Jinling City, but compared with most places in the outer city, it is already a paradise-like existence.

On the left and right of the archway, there were more than a dozen sergeants armed with spears, and they were watching every citizen who passed in front of the archway. Looking at this, it is not difficult to guess that the inner and outer cities are actually not interconnected, which means that ordinary people in the outer cities have no chance to enter the inner city at all.

"What's the matter? There's a city within a city here?" Ji Yuan looked at the tall archway in front of him suspiciously, and couldn't help asking, "And looking at the appearance of this inner city, it seems to be much richer than the outer city!"

"That's true!" Xie Zhen said bluntly, "Long before our brother came to this Wenyang City, this was already like this! There are many people in Wenyang City, most of the people of nearly a million people are living in poverty, and the people living in the inner city together are only a few thousand, and the people living in the inner city are divided into three kinds, one is the garrison like me who guards Wenyang City. One is an adult with an official position like a castle lord. There is also a few wealthy families who have lived in Wenyang City for generations! If it were not for the division of the inner and outer cities, I am afraid that Wenyang City would have been reborn from calamity, and the inner city would have been looted by the people of the outer city long ago!"

"Yes, the outer city is too poor, and there will inevitably be people who are indignant and want to do bad things!" Lu Yifan nodded and said.

"In fact, the successive city lords in Wenyang City have been doing their best to feed the people of this city, which is why the eldest brother banned the mountain last year!" Xie Zhen said helplessly, "Although there are some rich people in the inner city, it is tantamount to a drop in the bucket compared to the entire Wenyang City, even if all the property of these rich people is divided, there will be no money left on the heads of the people in each city!" Moreover, if this is really done, it will inevitably cause chaos in Wenyang City's etiquette and law, and then this place will really become a chaotic place of rape, murder, humiliation, and plundering without control! What's more, the money of these rich families has also been accumulated through several generations of hard work, so what qualifications do others have to snatch it at will? Is it difficult to achieve it because of poverty?"

"The hardships of life don't mean that you can do nothing!" Han Ling'er nodded and said, "Those families are also ordinary people, they should be blessed by the city lord!"

"After the eldest brother came to Wenyang City, he worked hard to rule the country, although Wenyang City is still poor today, but at least most of the people have food and clothing, I don't know how many times better than in the past when people often starve to death!" Xie Zhen couldn't help but smile lightly when he said this, obviously he was still quite satisfied with the current situation in Wenyang City.

As he spoke, Xie Zhen had already taken Lu Yifan and the three of them to the front of a large mansion in the inner city, this courtyard was simple and atmospheric, but it looked like it was some years old, and the two huge stone lions outside the courtyard gate were now also eroded by the wind and rain and lost their original brilliance. The courtyard wall is tall, the courtyard gate is open, although it is slightly old but it is cleaned up and tidy, the gate is even more immaculate, eight tall and burly men stand neatly on both sides of the courtyard gate with knives and axes, holding eight big guns, looking mighty and extraordinary.

And the most eye-catching thing is that there is a large black plaque hanging directly above the courtyard gate, with four vermilion characters on it, Wenyang Hou Mansion!
