Chapter 2 Hu Ge in Dingzhou
The sky was still bright, a group of people from Kyoto got up to wash, Fan Xian brought all the people in the hospital this time, except for Mu Feng'er, who is now in charge of the affairs of the Qi Nian group, the rest of the people are composed of members of the second and sixth departments, and the semi-militarized management of the supervision yuan career makes these people calm and silent, only hearing the sound of water, the squeak of opening the door, but there is no conversation.
The road from the post station to Dingzhou City is nearly twenty miles, galloping on the official road with eight horses wide, but it doesn't take much time, and there is no need to cherish the horsepower today, so when this pedestrian comes to the east gate of Dingzhou City, the sun does not rise much, and there is a trace of cold in the warmth, but the vegetable farmers who queue up to enter the city and the business travelers who come from the hinterland of the Central Plains have formed a long line.
Autumn is not strong in Kyoto, and the soldiers of the border gate city here have begun to wear armor padded with cotton layers, Fan Xian glanced at it unobtrusively, and then signaled Mu Feng'er to prepare the documents for customs clearance.
This time he came to Dingzhou, Fan Xian was not prepared to show the Ming Qincha honor guard at the beginning, of course, there were only a dozen people, even if he wanted to, he couldn't show it. This group of people disguised themselves as Jiangnan businessmen, holding the road tea deed issued by the Ministry of Household and the Inner Treasury Transfer Division. The reason why he had to be so disguised was not that the imperial court had any suspicions about the interior of Dingzhou City, but that Fan Xian wanted to meet with a person in private, and in order to ensure the safety of that person, it was best to meet privately without going through the channels of the imperial court.
After all, now that the Hu people have suddenly opened their minds, His Majesty the Emperor and Fan Xian both suspect that there is a capable person in Xihu who is in charge, so who knows if there are any Hu people who have buried spies in the military and political governments of Dingzhou City?
The inspection work of the sergeant at the East Gate was very meticulous. Fan Xian did not queue. Standing on the side of the team and watching coldly. Nodding secretly. The Ye family has been operating in the west for decades, but they still haven't slackened in the slightest, no wonder His Majesty appreciates it so much.
The post man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Follow behind Fan Xian. I was beating the drum in my heart. He also changed into a merchant's costume at this time. The face was manipulated by the officials of the Supervision Yuan. It seems to be more and more obscene. But he didn't understand it in his heart. Why did this noble man in front of him take him into the city? And you have to dress like this.
The team quickly lined up with Fan Xian and his party. Fan Xian noticed. Although the soldiers of the Dingzhou military and ground were strictly inspected. But it did not take the opportunity to collect oil and water benefits. And there is no deliberate effort to leave all parties to come to the land to business and vegetable farmers. It's blazing fast.
Mu Feng'er handed over the prepared customs clearance paperwork. Roads. Tea deed. The officer was slightly stunned. frowned. It seems to feel a little strange.
Fan Xian squinted from the side. I don't know what went wrong. But I don't panic in my heart. Anyway, it's afternoon time. I am going to the Xiliang Road Governor's Mansion to reveal my identity, and there should be no misunderstanding between the two sides.
The school officials were surprised that there was nothing wrong with these papers. It's that these documents are too pretty, especially the issuance of seals and signatures...... It is actually the head of the yamen. And so it goes. It shows that the identity of this group of merchants is very important. Otherwise, those officials in the court. How can you personally review these documents.
Fan Xian and his party didn't expect it. It was this point that caught the attention of others. Naturally, it is extremely simple for the Supervisory Yuan to make these documents. It's just that the Metropolitan Procuratorate has been staring at it recently. Therefore, these documents simply went to the ministries and offices to find genuine goods. But...... It's so true. It's too eye-catching. If Wang Qinian is still in charge of all the details around Fan Xian at this time. I don't think I would make that mistake.
The school officer stared at Mu Feng'er coldly. Subconsciously glanced at Fan Xian again. Understand this extravagant and beautiful young man. is the leader of this caravan.
Fan Xian didn't look back at him. At this time, he was looking with interest at the city wall of Dingzhou, which was close in front of him. Secretly pondered. Dingzhou City is surrounded by a plain or desert. Where did these big stones come from? Is the ground sticking to the stones is loess? Can this also be used to build a city wall?
The officer frowned. Subconsciously, he didn't want to provoke this young man with eyes above the top, so he nodded and let him go. Just watched this business trip into the city. Call a subordinate. whispered a few words.
......
......
Fan Xian didn't know that he admired the city wall, and he would give the soldiers of the state army an impression that they were above the top. He really likes to see with his own eyes. Looking at everything in this world, after all, it is a rare second life, so for the beauty of the place around life, history or existence. There is always a very strong desire to explore.
He had seen the centuries-old ancient city walls of the capital city. I am even more familiar with the heavily fortified castle walls of Kyoto. Today, it is rare to come to the westernmost part of the empire, Dingzhou City. Of course, it's curious. And he still regrets it in his heart, and he doesn't know when he will have the opportunity. Go and see the legendary number one city in the world - Dongyi City.
has been following the post with a sad face, and gradually understood why the little man wanted to take his little role into the city, it turned out that the little grandfather was preparing to go shopping. The streets in the city are chaotic, and all kinds of squares intersect in a chaotic manner, if there is no local to lead the way. There are a lot of places that don't have names. I really can't find it.
He felt a little headache. It seems that this noble little grandfather has come to such a remote place for the first time. I'm interested in everything.,Wandering around.。 It's not too tiring. Especially the Xichi Hezi side transported the Hu people from the Hu tribe. It attracted his attention for a long time.
In about half a day, Fan Xian and his entourage walked around the Dingzhou Trading Place. Very perfectly fulfilled the positive that a caravan should behave in.
Under an earthen wall. Fan Xian squinted his eyes, looked at the underground city tower of Dingzhou Xiongcheng in the distance, and asked in a low voice, "Has the news been sent?"
Mu Feng'er looked around cautiously. Nodding. said: "According to the agreement between the two parties. It's been sent out, but we came two days early, so I'm afraid that the other party hasn't entered the city yet. ”
Fan Xian thought about it. said: "I have to come two days early, I can't block the news of leaving Beijing, Hongcheng must know that I am coming." If you are dragged by this kid, you must be a drinker. Where is there time to do things, not to mention the camp and the governor's palace, who knows if there are any unscrupulous spies. ”
Mu Feng'er glanced at the nervous Yicheng at the back of the team and said, "If it weren't for the unfamiliarity with the terrain. You really shouldn't have called this person to lead the way. I don't know what to do with it for a while. ”
Fan Xian smiled. said: "It's not a big deal. We only have to be so careful to ensure the safety of each other, as for the postman. Another time. It's good to send him two beauties. ”
That being said. Fan Xian also felt a little regretful. Because His Majesty has always strictly forbidden the Supervisory Yuan to probe its tentacles too deep into the military. Therefore, the Supervision Yuan is in charge of all kinds of places and four places, or two places where the department collects intelligence. There are no powerful people in Dingzhou.
Of course. The Supervision Yuan must have buried nails in Dingzhou. But Fan Xian thought that the interior of Dingzhou City was extremely safe. and refused to use the nails. lest the military and government not be happy afterwards. It is also the lower-level officials of the Supervision Yuan who suffer losses.
One
Pedestrians parked the carriage in a shady area, silently waiting for the sun to move slowly. For lunch, I bought some baked cakes and ate them with water, and Fan Xian was no exception. Every time you act. His style of doing things will always bring the subordinates of the Supervisory Yuan closer to the center of the earth. It's just that the post man saw that the little grandfather was also struggling to nibble on the baked cakes. Secretly, I was amazed.
When the shadow of the earthen wall behind the carriage gradually lengthened. One of Fan Xian's subordinates came back humming a little song. He also carried in his hand the special products of the Dihu Department that he had purchased along the road, and it seemed that he was very careful along the road. Behind the carriage. He threw the things back in the car. lowered his voice and said something to Fan Xian.
Fan Xian raised his head and glanced at Mu Feng'er. smiled and said, "It seems that the other party is more anxious than us, so let's go and see it." ”
Mu Feng'er thought for a moment. This shouldn't be a conspiracy. After all, in Dingzhou City, it is the world of Daqing. No one has the guts to do that. In response to what the Supervision Yuan was doing, he nodded and went over to call out to the post.
Broke away from the convoy. Fan Xian, Mu Feng'er, and the post man. There were only three of them. Passed through the earthen wall and walked past the bustling market. Just like a first-time businessman from the mainland, he walked through with curiosity. I don't know how long I walked, but I finally arrived at a mutton shop.
Fan Xian looked at the shop without a signboard. couldn't help but smile and said, "Mother." It's hard to find this place. He patted the postman on the shoulder: "It seems that you kid is okay, and you even know these places." ”
Yi Cheng only felt that his whole body was soft. secretly thought that this shoulder was patted on the shoulder by the little grandfather, and it seems that he was reluctant to take a bath for half a month...... No, I only wash it once a month. It should be that I don't look for a woman for half a month, and I don't look for a woman, which seems to be a bit uneconomical......
It's in the midst of this post's thoughts. Mu Feng'er had already walked into the mutton shop first. He walked sideways through the inner door of the earthen house, covering his nose. Walked to the inner room. He sat down on the mat that he had agreed with the man beforehand.
There are four mattresses in the inner door of this shop, and a small table is placed on the mats, which are used to serve meat and wine to the guests, and each mattress is separated by a thin cloth. But it can't be separated from the sound, barely a meaning.
Fan Xian sat in the innermost. Yi Cheng only dared to sit on half of his ass outside, muttering in his heart, I don't know why this distinguished person must find this very inconspicuous shop. Are you here to meet someone?
Then he took the bowl of wine handed over by the little grandfather in a panic and took a sip carefully. Then he fell into a deep slumber.
......
......
Ate a few pieces of hand-grabbed mutton and drank two bowls of spirits. Fan's eyes grew brighter and brighter. glanced at the thin cloth curtain beside him, and glanced at Mu Feng'er.
Mu Feng'er thought for a moment and picked up the wine bowl. I got up and lifted the curtain and went to the mat on the other side. curtains together. Fan Xian's eyes were extremely sharp. I saw that the man was about forty or fifty years old, but his face was dark. After all, it's a Hu person, and it's not accurate.
At this time, the sun was in the sky, the sky was gradually rising, but the earthen house was still quiet, and it was not the right time to drink at this time, so the shop was exceptionally quiet, only Fan Xian and his party and the mysterious Hu man.
I don't know what Mu Feng'er said to the Hu man over there, after a long time, the curtain was opened, and Mu Feng'er nodded to Fan Xian, indicating that she confirmed the identity of the other party.
Fan Xian half-sideways, staring at the man with a calm face, found that the other party was holding the wine bowl with a steady palm, and there was no change in the pupils of his eyes, and he said slowly:
"The number one master under the dignified Zuo Xian King, why do you have to change your appearance, so ghostly and happy?"
The Hu man put down the wine bowl and glanced at Fan Xian, as if he wanted to know the true identity of this young man.
However, Fan Xian's expression was indifferent. There was not the slightest reaction.
This Hu man raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he didn't expect that a random official from the Qingguo Supervision Yuan would have such an unfathomable city government and strength.
"Not bad. I am Hu Ge. "This man who looked to be forty or fifty years old. Stared at Fan Xian's face with a falcon-like gaze. "He said you're the leader. Then I'll talk to you. ”
Fan Xian smiled. Raising the wine bowl in his hand, he said, "There aren't many things I want to know." ”
"I have to make sure the princess is safe first. "Hu Ge, the number one master under the account of King Xihu Zuoxian. Fame shocked the West. Deeply feared by the Hu people. The bearing is extraordinary. However, when he opened his mouth to speak the words of the Central Plains. I always feel a little awkward. Weakened a little for no reason.
Fan Xian reached into his arms. I took out a jade hook and handed it over. After Hu Ge took the jade hook, his brows were deeply locked. It seems to be mired in some kind of contemplation. Fan Xian didn't bother him with his recollections, just watched this scene quietly.
The Supervision Yuan hooked up with the number one master under the account of King Zuoxian. It's not that Fan Xian has the ability to go through the world. Rather, the other side passed in an extremely troublesome way. Take the initiative to find the door. For this kind of people who take the initiative to come to the door. The Supervisory Yuan's usual response is not to take the initiative. No commitments. Not responsible.
It wasn't until the other party did give the Supervision Yuan some extremely useful information that the Supervision Yuan began to follow up on this line. And to be able to follow up this line. Except for Fan Xian himself. There was no second person to be found, because the reason for the relationship between Hu Ge and the Supervision Yuan was Masoso.
Masoso is still proud of the Golden House of Prince He. But in terms of belonging, he is always a fan idle person. This princess of the Hu tribe. It's a female captive. Not a female captive. for her local tribe. At that time, he was ready to surrender to the Great Prince's department, but before the matter was completed, it was revealed. The entire tribe was slaughtered by the tent of the king of Xihu. The remnants of the people are scattered in the Western Regions. Each defected to the nobility.
And this Hu Ge was a warrior of this small tribe back then. It's just that I haven't had time to reveal my identity yet. Fighting for the glory of the tribe has already received the tragic news that the tribe has been slaughtered.
After confirming Hu Ge's identity from Masoso. Fan Xian began to strengthen his secret contact with Hu Gedi.
Masoso didn't just know Hu Ge. The two men were excellent friends even when they were children, in the words of the Central Plains. It is the so-called green plum embroidered horse. So Fan Xian looked at the other party's old face at this time, and muttered in his heart, could it be that Hu Ren blows the wind and basks in the sun every day. Is it really that easy to grow old?
......
......
Hu Ge cautiously put the jade hook into his arms, looked at Fan Xian and said, "I do want to avenge the clan, but don't forget." I'm also a Hu person. So there are some things I can say and some things I can't...... You Qingren are too insidious and cunning. I can't believe it. ”
Fan Xian understands this. If you want the other party to lead the way for Qingjun, Qianli raided the Xihu King zzzcn Chinese network... account, not to mention whether the other party is willing or not, no one in the court dares to believe him. He looked down and thought for a moment before saying, "I don't need you to do anything. On the contrary, I can also support you in what you do. I heard that King Zuo Xian's current situation is not very good, if you can help him gain a firm foothold, I think your own local power will also rise. ”
Without waiting for this Hu clan master to speak, Fan Xianji waved his hand dryly
, said: "I give you support, there is not much to ask for, first, you must do everything you can." Stopping the big offensive next spring is not stopping. I need your information too...... Feel relieved. We celebrate people straightforwardly and will not fight any ambushes. It's just to put on a show and intimidate each other, this time difference, you should know yourself if it is arranged. ”
Hu Ge's brows furrowed, and he said, "It's just that now I don't even have the strength to speak to King Zuoxian, let alone me." ”
"That's your problem, since it's cooperation, you always have to pay some sincerity. Fan Xian looked at him and said calmly: "I won't treat you badly, you have to convince those people, of course, you can't rely on fists alone." ”
"All the nobles of the earth under the world are the same, they all like gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin. ”
Hu Ge glanced at the young official opposite.
"I'll give you as much as you need to bribe. Fan Xiandi's tone was very ordinary, but it exuded a strong confidence, "And if you want to revive the clan, you also need a lot of money. Actually, it's very easy to make a deal with me, I just need to ask you one word. ”
"Do you want to get rich?"
This sentence Fan Xian once asked some people, such as the former commander of the Northern Qi Jinyi Guard, Lord Shen, Shen Chong... Lord wAp.zZzcn.com didn't want to get rich with Fan Xian. I want to make my fortune on my own. So he died. Then Fan Xian asked the uncle of the Northern Qi Land Kingdom, the Marquis of Changning. This Hou Ye is very willing to make a fortune with Fan Xian, so his family not only made a fortune, but Wei Hua also became a big official.
History has long proved that he cooperates with Fan Xian. Always very happily.
But Hu Ge didn't know the other party's true identity. He said in a cold voice: "Everyone likes gold and silver. But your words are unbelievable...... So much silver. Not even silver can buy goods. A word from you. Just let me say yes...... Don't lie to me, although we are straightforward in temperament, we are not fools. ”
Fan chattered. It does sound like a lie. On the grassland, there are many kings' tents and countless nobles. And these nobles are insatiable, if they want to satisfy their appetites. Unless it is strongly supported by the Qingguo Imperial Court. And a small place to the young officials of the Inspectorate. How can you do this Lord.
"I can give you a good knife from the inner warehouse. Fan Xian didn't pick him up. Indifferently, he said, "But there are only a limited number of them. After all, I don't want to give you a ground knife in the future. Cut off the neck of my Daqing people. ”
Fan Xian didn't answer Hu Gedi's doubts. Hu Ge felt even more uneasy. He stared at the young, handsome face. Lowered his voice and asked coldly, "Who are you?"
Fan Xian glanced at him. said: "I'm Fan Xian." ”
......
......
There was a crisp sound on the tweezers, and Hu Gedi's back slammed into the earthen wall. With great speed, he pulled out the scimitar at his waist. Aimed at Fan Xian. Dust fell from the earthen walls. Stained the dishes and drinks on the table.
Hu Ge looked at Fan Xian vigilantly. There was a hint of fear in his eyes.
Fan Xian lowered his head. Fingers tapped on the table, not thinking of his true identity. actually scared the other party into such a look, and this person was also known as the number one master under King Zuoxian.
But he didn't know. The name of Fan Tisi of the Qingguo Supervision Yuan has long been resounding all over the world, and it is a place where Hu people live far away. It's just that in the hearts of the people of Qingguo, Lord Xiao Fan is dazzling. And in the eyes of the enemies of Qingguodi. This legendary young man is really the first target of prevention.
Of course. Until now. Hu Ren has not suffered a loss from Fan Xiandi. But they have suffered a lot of Chen Pingping's losses. Therefore, there are countless fears and vigilance for Chen Pingping's successor. After Hu Ge confessed his identity in Fan Xian, his first thought was. Today's joint is a trap, and the second thought is that if this is not a trap, then this transaction will also put the Hu people in a place where they will never recover.
"Don't be so afraid. Fan Xian raised his head. Said slowly: "Not bad. I'm the head of the Supervision Institute, but don't worry, I'm a good businessman, don't forget. I have the imperial court treasury in my hand, if you don't believe in my trust, you can send someone to the Central Plains to investigate. ”
"I'm not afraid. Hu Ge has calmed down. His eyes showed a wolf-like wildness, staring at Fan Xian and saying word by word: "I just didn't expect that a person of your identity would deign to come to see me, and he would be so brave." ”
"This is the world of my Daqing, this is in Dingzhou City, I don't think my guts are anything special. Fan Xian looked at him and said, "Even you, a Hu person, dare to come to see me, why don't I dare to see you?"
"You don't know how much your head is worth. Hu Ge said: "Aren't you afraid that I will set up a situation here to kill you?"
Fan Xian glanced at him mockingly. He smeared the meat oil on the ground on the ground curtain beside him, and said, "This shop is full of your people." If I'm afraid you're going to set up a game. Why do you still walk in and sit and drink?"
"Besides, you think that with you, the so-called number one master under the account of the Dizuo Xian King. Can you kill me?" Fan Xian frowned, as if he was looking at a very ignorant child, "The name is extremely long, but this courage is not very good." ”
The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, Qingguo, the strongest master of the young generation, has already imprinted his own figure in the hearts of all martial artists, Hu Ge really does not have the courage to make such a dangerous attempt.
Fan Xian stood up, stared at his eyes, and said, "I don't care what you're thinking, but when my conditions are opened, I want to know the name of that person." ”
This is the piece of information that the Supervision Yuan is most concerned about in the three months of tentative contact with the other side. Because the figure hidden in the tent of King Hu was really buried very deeply, and it brought great harm to Qingguo, the Supervisory Council and the Privy Council tried all means, but they still couldn't know who that person was.
Even the two courts didn't know if there was such a terrifying military advisor in the Hu tribe, or if the two virtuous kings and Shan Yu suddenly opened their minds.
But Fan Xian didn't think so, and His Majesty the Emperor of Qingguo didn't think so, their father and son had very similar judgments, the country was easy to change, and the nature was difficult to change, and the changes in Xihu must have been influenced by outsiders, and they concluded that that person must exist.
This is the most important goal of Fan Xian's trip to Dingzhou City, he wants to dig out that person.
Hu Ge is the highest-level figure of the Hu clan that the Qingguo court can access, and he has been urged for a long time, and when he heard this, the face of this Hu clan master changed, he knew how much help he would get from the Qingguo court, and Suo Suo's current life and death were also under the control of the young man in front of him, and he did not have much choice.
It's just that......
"I really haven't met that person, but there should have been that person. Hu Ge put down the scimitar and said, "King Zuo Xian should not have seen it, but once after drinking, he indignantly mentioned an unfamiliar name...... Songzhi Immortal Order. ”
