Chapter 247: Bad news

readx;? Spring has gone to autumn in the blink of an eye, time has flown by and it has been golden autumn and September, and it has been more than two months since Lu Yifan and them came to the Border Guard Mansion. Xi Chen www.biquge.info who wrote and fun and pavilion did not embarrass them anymore, and on the second day of Ma Rufeng's visit, Xi Chen arranged Lu Yifan and Lan Chen under Tan Si and became a lowly northern border guard.

Originally, Tan Si also wanted to take this opportunity to include Liu Sandao and others in the account, but unfortunately he was directly refused, in the eyes of Liu Sandao and others, there is only one master, that is Lu Yifan, as for who Lu Yifan goes to obey, it doesn't matter who Lu Yifan obeys, the important thing is that they only obey Lu Yifan.

This has formed an extremely interesting phenomenon, Lu Yifan and Lan Chen behaved in front of Tan Si in a decent manner, showing the respect and awe of a subordinate for the commander without any falsehood. But Tan Si didn't dare to behave too presumptuously in front of Liu Sandao and Hai Lao, and even spoke cautiously. But Liu Sandao and Hai Lao, in turn, in front of Lu Yifan and Lan Chen, were obedient and never refuted their orders.

However, in the past two months, Hai Lao and Liu Sandao have only met twice, once when Xi Chen sent Lu Yifan and Lan Chen to Tan Si, at that time, although Hai Lao was injured internally, he was extremely calm on the surface, even for Liu Sandao, who bandaged his head like a zongzi, he still did not show any clues. And the second time was in the border guard mansion a month later, and I accidentally bumped into it, when Liu Sandao wanted to take the opportunity to test Hai Lao, but was interrupted by Sanchun who came out of nowhere, and this matter had to be stopped in the end.

As for Lu Yifan and Lan Chen, the two of them followed Tan Si back and forth in Dingbei Town every day, and the streets they walked every day focused on those few things, and there was still some freshness at first, but as time went by, a feeling of wasting time became more and more obvious. Especially Lan Chen, he hoped that he could retreat and cultivate in the mansion, rather than wandering aimlessly behind Tan Si's ass all day long, and taking care of some trivial matters of Chen Sesame and Rotten Grains when he had nothing to do.

It has been sunny and sunny for several days, although the season has entered the golden autumn, but the land in the north is still no different from when Lu Yifan and they first came, the heat during the day is irritating, and at night it is so cold that people shiver.

At this moment, Tan Si is taking Lu Yifan, Lan Chen and seven or eight other northern border guards to wander around the town, Tan Si seems to be very popular in the town, no matter who he meets, he can have a sentence without a word, and his unique thick and fine temperament seems to be easy to gain the trust of these ordinary people, no matter whose family's business, as long as Tan Si asks the question, he can ask the reason, this ability makes Lu Yifan quite surprised.

Most of the people on the street will give Tan Si a face, and when they see him, regardless of men, women and children, they will call "Tan Siye" in a proper manner, which also makes Dingbei Town, a place where everything should be going on, quite peaceful, at least when Tan Si led people to patrol, it was very peaceful.

"This is a man, it's like being a dog! When you meet someone who asks for you, you will bark a few times, and you will seem to be bullish!" Tan Si held a snowflake pear that he had just taken from the vendor next to him, and while stuffing it into his mouth, he vaguely explained the truth of being a man to his subordinates, "If you meet the person you ask, then you have to wagging your tail desperately and begging for mercy, and people will let you go, let you stop!" Do you know why?"

"I don't know......," the northern guard behind him replied quietly.

"Tsk! a bunch of stupid people!" Tan Si took another bite of the snowflake pear in his hand, and the tender and sweet pear juice instantly spurted out of the pear, flowing down his fingers all over his hands, "Because some people can give you food, drink, clothing, and use!" And in the face of these people, no matter how horizontal you are, you have to be a grandson, no way, who let you beg others?"

"What if we don't want to be dogs?" asked a good northern guard with a smile.

"That's easy!" Tan Si wiped his pear-soaked chin with his arm indiscriminately, and then pursed his mouth and said happily, "As long as you have the backbone, you are not afraid of hunger, poverty, hardship, cold, scorching sun, or even death! Fourth master, I am the master who gives you food and drink, which of you has the backbone to say that Lao Tzu is not working in your border guard mansion, and then you can give me a mouth when you shake your hand! I promise not to fight back! Is there one?"

Tan Si glanced at the group of northern border guards behind him with a playful gaze, and saw that these northern border guards looked at me and I looked at you with each other, but no one dared to answer.

"Hehe, now you know, right?It's easy to talk about this kind of thing, if you really let you do it, it's even harder than climbing to the sky!" Tan Siweng laughed.

"What the fourth master said is light, and this kind of thing is not enough to eat! If we don't do it, what will that old snack and what will we drink?" a northern border guard couldn't help but argue.

"Hey, that's it!" Tan Si nodded and said, "This is the fate of each of you, many times whether you want to be a wolf or a dog is not up to you, because there are too many other things behind you that are holding you back! For example, a few of you are eating and drinking, what about Lu Yifan and Lan Chen? Both of them are the second sons of Jinling City, and they have never worried about eating or drinking all their lives, so why are they still following the fourth master and my ass like you?"

With Tan Si's words, all the northern border guards couldn't help but sweep their eyes to Lu Yifan and Lan Chen.

"Hmph! doing things is doing things, where did you get so much nonsense!" Lan Chen snorted coldly with disdain.

"You can think about it!" Tan Si was not annoyed, but turned his gaze to Lu Yifan again, and asked playfully, "What about you?

"No one can be a dog forever!" Lu Yifan smiled faintly, and then said with a deep meaning, "Similarly, no one can be a wolf forever! Take you Tan Siye as an example! In the eyes of our subordinates, you are the uncle! You are the master who holds the power of life and death of a few of our northern border guards in his hands! But so what? In front of Xi Chen, do you Tan Siye have to be a dog if you are different? Be a dog wagging his tail and begging for mercy and pretending! In the eyes of the people in this town, we are also masters, and we can let them pack up and go home at any time, but we also have to be dogs in front of your Tan Siye, and we have to be dogs and obedient dogs! Not only you and me, even if it is the governor of Xi Chen, he is the master of the border guard mansion, but he has to be a dog in front of the emperor! Everyone in the world is like this, and what I am most afraid of is that people and dogs do not distinguish, underestimate others, confuse themselves, and stand in the wrong position! It's a bit of a bad analogy, but it's apt!"

"Okay!" Tan Si stretched out his hand and pointed at Lu Yifan, and then said with a straight face, "There is nothing wrong with what you said, Quanzhong! The so-called seeking his government in his position is this truth, he is worthy of being the son of Wen Dinggong, and it is different when he speaks! Lao Tzu has to spend half a day of saliva to make you understand in three or two sentences, okay! It's really good! Do you all understand this time?" Tan Si said and swept his gaze to the few northern border guards with blank faces, "There is no shame in being a dog, and there is nothing to show off when you are a master, because they are all relative!" Do you understand?"

"Forehead......" Several northern guards looked at each other, and they didn't know what to answer.

"It's really ****** a group of pigs!" Tan Si scolded helplessly, "Lao Tzu has been talking for a long time, and he has played the piano to the cow! Let's go, in short, if you want to do a good job, continue to patrol with Lao Tzu!"

"Good!"

The northern border guards understood this sentence, and shouted in unison and followed Tan Sisi swaggering towards the next street.

"Fourth Master, there's something I don't quite understand!" Lu Yifan, who was following Tan Si, suddenly asked, "Our Border Guard Mansion has always said that there are thirteen flag masters, why do I only have five or six in the past two months?"

"Oh! Northern Xinjiang is a large territory, not only we have Dingbei Town to take care of! There are also many uninhabited places that need to be explored at any time to see if anything suspicious happens!" Tan Si opened his mouth to explain, "Actually, you and Lan Chen are still good in the end! Fourth Master and these brothers under me will enjoy happiness with the two of you!"

"What do you mean by that?" Lan Chen asked puzzled.

"Isn't this simple?" Tan Si said with a smile, "Don't look at the Dudu who is ruthless on the surface, but in fact he still takes good care of you two sons! There are a lot of drudgeries in the Border Guard Mansion, and generally the new northern border guards have to be sent to a place like the Zhuo Wolf Grassland to stay for a year and a half, and you are directly arranged to stay in Dingbei Town under my command to patrol, which is definitely the first blessing among the many errands in the Border Guard Mansion, not to suffer, not to be tired, to work during the day, to sleep at night, and finally to get a good reputation! How good? But if it weren't for you, I'm afraid that the fourth master would have been transferred to another place by the governor a long time ago!"

"What does the fourth master mean is that patrolling the town is not your errand all the time?" Lu Yifan seemed to understand something.

Of course, this kind of blessing is done in turns, but you are assigned to my subordinates, and it becomes my special mission!" Tan Si laughed angrily, and reached out and punched Lu Yifan in the chest.

Hearing Tan Si's words, Lu Yifan and Lan Chen couldn't help but glance at each other, and there was an indescribable strange look in their eyes. They thought they were loyal enough, but in the end, they were still being taken care of, which made the two of them feel at a loss for a while.

"Four...... Fourth Master ......"

Just when Tan Si and Lu Yifan were talking and laughing, a hurried shout suddenly came from the end of the road, and then I saw a northern border guard stumbling towards Tan Si, and knocked down many stalls along the way.

"Damn, you're panicking! Fourth Master, I finally finished patrolling this street!" Tan Si kicked at the oncoming northern guard, and directly kicked the northern guard to the ground, "What's wrong with not being steady?"

The kicked northern border guard didn't care about the dust on his body, he got up in three or two clicks, and whispered a few words to Tan Si with an anxious face, and when the northern border guard finished speaking, Tan Si's face instantly froze, and the banter just now disappeared completely, replaced by a thick shock and solemnity.

"What you said is true?"

"How dare you deceive the fourth master for such a small matter!"

"It's broken! Let's go!Go back!" Without waiting for the northern border guard to confirm again, Tan Si took the lead in rushing towards the location of the border guard's mansion.

Lu Yifan and Lan Chen glanced at each other, and then no longer hesitated, and followed with a move under their feet.

The northern border guard, in the main hall of the northern frontier.

Xi Chen is sitting on the main seat of the high platform with a gloomy face, at this moment he is surprisingly not accompanied by a servant girl, and he has changed his lazy posture in the past, today's Xi Chen looks unprecedented solemn.

On the left and right sides of the main hall at this moment, there were Hu Lao, Qin Bao and the other three flag masters, each of them had a gloomy and frightening face at this moment, and their eyes were filled with a thick color of anger.

Around the main hall, there were also many northern border guards armed with steel knives, and there were five or six hundred at least, such a large formation had never been encountered once since Lu Yifan came.

At this moment, everyone's eyes in the entire main hall of the Northern Frontier were staring at one place, the center of the main hall. There were already thirty or forty northern border guards covered in blood and wounded, looking at their blood-stained and embarrassed appearance, as if they had just escaped from the pile of dead people after a life-and-death battle.

And the most important thing is that at this moment, next to these kneeling northern border guards, there are actually three cold corpses lying upright. These three corpses have been dead for a long time, and each of them has countless wounds on their bodies, and the original red blood has already turned dark purple and solidified in the wounds of these three corpses. And these three people are the three banner masters sent by Xi Chen to inspect various parts of northern Xinjiang.

"Governor ......"

At this moment, Tan Si, who looked panicked, also rushed in, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw three corpses lying on the ground, and immediately his body trembled, and his legs bent and he fell to the ground in shock by this incredible scene.

"The third child, Ma Huzi, Cheng Yong......" Tan Siyi shouted the names of the three banner masters one by one, his eyes instantly turned red, and a roar like wanting to kill came out of his throat.

"This is ......" At this moment, Lu Yifan and Lan Chen also rushed to the main hall, and they were followed by Liu Sandao, Ji Yuan, Ji Yi'er, Xie Yun, A Chang, Yin Xi, Hai Lao, and Sanchun who had just bumped into them at the gate of the mansion.

"Dudu, what the hell is going on?" Lu Yifan, who was the first to react, stepped forward quickly, and then stood next to the three corpses with a frown, looking at Xi Chen, whose face was sinking like water, with a puzzled expression.

"How many?" Xi Chen suddenly asked, his voice was unprecedentedly gloomy, it was almost like a low roar, his eyes were always staring at the three corpses on the ground, but he didn't indicate who he was asking questions.

"Three!" replied Hu Lao with a bitter face.

"In less than an hour, the three banner masters of my Border Guard Mansion are dead...... Xi Chen said through gritted teeth.

"What?" It wasn't until this moment that Lu Yifan and the others figured out what was going on, and everyone was stunned.

"Report!"

Just when there was a dead silence in the main hall, a cry like a wail suddenly came from outside the hall, and then I saw a northern guard guarding the door with seven or eight northern guards covered in blood, carrying a new corpse covered with scars, and walked quickly into the main hall.

"Dudu, we are besieged by more than a dozen first-class powerhouses in the eastern region of Northern Xinjiang, and the Fang Banner Lord will not retreat from the battle, and he will be outnumbered after all...... Killed in battle...... Woo woo......" A northern border guard who had lost an arm said bitterly, and with that, he knelt down in front of Xi Chen with several other northern border guards.

"Fang Ming!" Qin Bao's eyes stared at the new corpse fiercely, and he was almost about to erupt into flames between the words.

"Four ......" Hu Lao didn't know if he was reporting to Xi Chen, in short, his voice was full of desolation, "Du Du ......"

"Report!"

Before Hu Lao's voice fell, another voice came from outside the hall......

"Five!"

"Bang!" Xi Chen slammed his fist on the desk in front of him, only to hear a loud bang, and the desk was smashed to pieces by his punch.

"Report!"

"Report!"

Immediately after that, there were two more voices, and then a dozen bloodied northern guards cried and poured into the main hall, and among them were the corpses of the two banner masters!

"Six, seven......" Hu Lao was already a little unsure whether to continue, he looked at Xi Chen stubbornly, and only after a long time did he open his trembling lips and said slowly in a trembling voice, "Dudu, there are thirteen flag masters in my border guard mansion, except for the six here here, the remaining seven flag masters...... ...... in one day All ...... killed"

After hearing Hu Lao's words, Xi Chen stood up suddenly, his eyes glowing with an indescribable terrifying light, but at this moment, Xi Chen looked much calmer and calmer than just now.

"There are only heroes who die standing in my border guard mansion, and there are no cowards who live on their knees!"

"Governor...... Governor ......"

As soon as Xi Chen spoke, he ignored the shouts of the other people in the hall and walked straight towards the door of the hall, his steps were so resolute that he didn't stop for a moment when he passed the corpses of the seven banner masters. His back was so desolate, so desolate that when Xi Chen's figure disappeared outside the main hall, it left everyone in the hall with infinite sighs and contemplation, and some northern border guards couldn't even suppress the grief in their hearts, and cried loudly. All of a sudden, the entire main hall of Northern Xinjiang was filled with men's roars and cries.

"These seven flag masters, thick burial!"

After a long time, Xi Chen's voice came from the volley outside the hall, although the voice was still a little sad, but at this moment, it sounded more bone-chilling!
