The army returned victorious, and there was no welcome in the sandwich road.

From Untei Castle to Kyoto Saikyo in Hokkai, it first passes through Inshu. The closest city to the west of Inju is called Liuseong. Liucheng is very poor, probably poor for hundreds or thousands of years, the land of war, the beacon fire burns from time to time, and the grain is requisitioned. After the battle of Yuntui City, it is even poorer, and there are many fewer people. Instead of fleeing the war and moving elsewhere, they starved to death.

The main gate of Liucheng was opened, and the army entered the city, welcoming only beggars along the way.

The beggars rolled their eyelids, glanced at the tall and mighty Mu Fan in the army, and lowered it again, this kind of look could not make their hearts ripple.

Zhang Feng was very dissatisfied with this, he liked the grand pomp and circumstance, not this bleak scene.

A young beggar stood up, and although his appearance was indistinguishable from other beggars, he did not resemble a beggar because there was a sparkle in his eyes. That look made it clear that he wasn't used to being a beggar.

Mu Fan glanced at the young beggar, the two looked at each other, and after a brief contact, he could feel the contempt in the beggar's eyes, which was a kind of contempt from the inside out.

Zhang Feng also noticed the beggar, after all, a standing beggar was still quite conspicuous. Eyes met again, and he also felt contempt. This made his already unhappy mood even more unhappy, like eating a bowl of unpalatable rice with flies, and the flies were still half off.

The army was still marching, and he wanted to kill the beggar with his hands, but after looking at Mu Fan in front of him, he finally dispelled this idea.

The Liucheng County Guard came to greet him, and according to his previous plan, he wanted to go to the city gate to meet the army and show his respect for the young upstart. However, the march of the left army was a little faster, which caused him to arrive before the army entered the city. Hearing that the young upstart didn't like pomp and circumstance, his nervousness was a little relieved.

Mu Fan was already considered an upstart, and through this war, he had entered that small circle of people who were high above. After capturing Yuntui City and breaking off for the withdrawal of the army, he held Yuntui City alone, and these feats were enough for him to be promoted to a second-class general.

The generals of the Beihua Dynasty can be counted with one pair of hands, and some of them have no real power. The number of second-rank generals is only a few dozen, and they seem to be nobles worth clinging to. It is worth noting that Mu Fan is very young, even if he climbs slowly, there is a great probability that he will be promoted to a first-class general in fifty years. If he becomes a first-class general, even if he can't tilt the power towards the government and the opposition, he can be called a hegemon.

On the way, the county guard You Cheng encountered a large army on the march, followed by a large number of scholars. Beihua has soldiers is the master, and in the troubled times, Wenchen is weak.

Mu Fan pulled the reins, and the flamingo stepped forward, he was wearing heavy armor, and the scars on his face looked extremely hideous, like a majestic god of war.

"Lord You, our army has passed through here, and there are many disturbances, I hope you will forgive me."

You Cheng smiled: "Where, if you can come here, you can afford to look up to me You someone." ”

Mu Fan turned to Zhang Feng and the others and said, "Stay here first, don't move around." ”

He turned over and dismounted, took Zhongping alone, and went to the county guard mansion with You Cheng. He didn't like it at all.

On the way, they talked about how to set up camp, and it was said that these should have been negotiated a long time ago, and the army should not have entered the city so early, but there were not many people alive and able in Liucheng, so they didn't care so much.

After talking about the place where he was stationed, Mu Fan ordered Zhongping to deliver the news. It wasn't until Zhong Ping walked away that You Cheng spoke: "The general has worked hard and made great achievements, let's get on the frame." ”

Mu Fan happily got into the frame, and You Cheng also followed.

"General, you are the one who does great things!"

You Cheng suddenly raised his voice, and the frame had a formation to prevent external eavesdropping.

Mu Fan said: "Continue." ”

"General, if you want to do great things, I want to do it too!"

"Go on."

You Cheng leaned closer and said, "If you are not moved by small profits, there will be big schemes!" ”

"You might as well get straight to the point."

You Cheng immediately said: "The general's march is first-class in battle, and he is willing to help the general." ”

Mu Fan said: "You can't convince me. ”

"I was squeezed out of Liucheng because I couldn't get used to Lin Shuai, Lin Shuai was in a high position, and he should have been a minister of the humerus, but he didn't remember the emperor's grace and rode to the emperor's head. I wrote a book and scolded him for having no king and no father, and he ended up like this! You Cheng clenched his fists, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, "He dares to openly injure the general with his sword, and there is no one in his eyes, I am willing to take refuge in the general." ”

Mu Fan arched his hand and said: "You and I are both courtiers of the court, both of your majesty's people, you don't have to take refuge in me, take refuge in ...... The emperor will do it. ”

You Cheng said: "I heard that the general is still unmarried, and the younger sister is ...... in the second eight."

"I understand what you mean, I have a sweetheart, and besides, I can't hide it, I have taken refuge in His Majesty the Emperor."

You Cheng's words are straightforward enough, straightforward to show loyalty. Mu Fan's words were also straightforward, bluntly saying that he was the emperor's person, and signaled You Cheng to join the emperor.

"What the general said is true?"

"Of course."

You Cheng looked at Mu Fan's eyes and couldn't tell the truth from the fake. He showed his intentions, but Mu Fan's response was tantamount to a refusal, which made him undecided. Mu Fan had only one way to go to the emperor, and thinking of this, he had more confidence in his heart.

Mu Fan said: "Lin Shuai is temporarily arrogant, Beihua has not produced powerful ministers, but a few of the powerful ministers have a good end, and the winner on the throne in the end is always the emperor." ”

You Cheng hugged his fists and said: "It's not a secret, I am a person from the imperial court." ”

"The imperial court ......" Mu Fan paused, "the imperial court is not the emperor, you have to be the emperor's person." ”

You Cheng's eyes widened, and then he said firmly: "Yes, it is the emperor's person below." ”

Mu Fan clasped his hands in front of his chest, and from the beginning to the end of the conversation, he was more from the perspective of a bystander. Without a stake, it's easy to jump out and look at things. Thinking out of the ass, the head will be much brighter.

The emperor's power and Lin Shuai's power are not particularly big things for him. The organization of Baili Mountain is being built, and everyone has to think carefully about it, whether to attack Baili Mountain, or to cooperate with Baili Mountain.

Baili Mountain is not the decisive force in the political situation in Beihua, but its influence is not small, and this influence is increasing. Beihua's internal and external troubles give Baili Mountain a better soil for survival, just waiting for the opportunity.

Mu Fan's identity is temporary, his main goal in Beihua is to fight against the demon clan, and he can also fight against the demon clan when he goes to Western Xinjiang. If it weren't for the alliance between Western Xinjiang and the Demon Clan, with his current strength, he would be unhappy, and he could run to the northern border of Western Xinjiang to be a general at any time.

I look down on it, I am not bound, I am comfortable, I am comfortable!

You Cheng saw Mu Fan's hands clasped in front of his chest, and he consciously closed his mouth and said no more. The frame slowly drove into the county guard's mansion, and he found that Mu Fan had not gotten out of the car for a long time, and after a closer look, he actually fell asleep.
