Guan Shouyi smiled disdainfully and turned to leave, Xuan Jizi pulled each other again but was blocked by Zhao Zongyuan, Zhao Zongyuan said to Xuan Jizi: "If all the followers of the White Lotus Holy Sect join the Fire Spirit Sect, then our Fire Spirit Sect is also very welcome." After saying that, he smiled.

Guan Shouyi had already walked out for more than ten steps, and when he heard Zhao Zongyuan's words, he turned his head and said: "They want to join us, but I'm afraid that most of them are not qualified, look at who are among them?" With that, he turned and left.

Zhao Zongyuan followed closely behind and said, "These people from the White Lotus Sect are really annoying. ”

Guan Shouyi scolded: "Don't talk nonsense." The three of them left in a hurry, leaving only Xuan Jizi to follow behind, neither chasing nor staying.

Since they couldn't make sense with Piao Gao Ancestor, the three of them accepted Fan Luobai's invitation. They got into the carriage sent by Fan Luobai's envoy, and staggered to the South China Sea Goose City, the garrison of Fan Luobai's own soldiers.

The officer on duty came over and asked, "Who is in the car?" The driver hurriedly replied, "This is a distinguished guest invited by General Fan." The officer on duty did not relax because of this, he opened the car door and looked at the three people in the car, Guan Shouyi, Shang Hanchen, and Zhao Zongyuan, all of whom looked like white-faced scholars who couldn't tie their hands. He finally nodded and said to the driver, "Your car can't enter the camp." ”

The one who drove the car said to Guan Shouyi: "Mr. Guan is invited, the barracks are different from outside, and my car can't carry Mr." "Then please Guan Shouyi, Shang Hanchen and Zhang Zongyuan to get out of the car.

As soon as they entered the barracks, the three of them found that the barracks were capable and disciplined, and the military appearance was neat. The drill of the drill, the patrol of the patrol. Guan Shouyi couldn't help but secretly shouted in his heart, although this Fan Luobai often looked for all kinds of trouble. However, looking at it this way, it is indeed a good way to govern the army. It's no wonder that Piao Gao Ancestor only handed over the army to him, and it seems that except for him, others are only afraid that they will not be able to lead this southern navy.

Zhao Zongyuan came to the barracks of the army for the first time and saw the military flag waving and the armor bright. He felt that everything was so fresh, and he was so curious about everything. Guan Shouyi and Shang Hanchen were both literati, and they were not very interested in the army, so they just hurried by.

Although Zhao Zongyuan was born as a scholar, his heart was secretly excited, as if everything in front of him brought him some kind of resonance. He looked at these mighty soldiers and had a fervent yearning in his heart, and he didn't know where this yearning came from. I just felt that my heart was 'pounding', and I seemed to have found the place in my mind that made him throb.

Fan Luobai received three people in the big tent of the Chinese army.

After the salute, they took their seats. Fan Luobai naturally made the main position, asked Guan Shouyi to do the upper position, Shang Hanchen did the second position, and Zhao Zongyuan naturally accompanied him in the last position. Shang Hanchen finished drinking the tea, stood up and said: "General Fan, he has made outstanding achievements in battle, is bright and upright, saved the sect master from danger, and saved the people of the South China Sea from fire and water, which is obvious to the world, and I have always admired General Fan." ”

Fan Luobai smiled and said: "Mr. Hanchen has a good reputation, although Mr. Hanchen and I are fellow villagers, we have always admired Mr. Hanchen. Guan Zhangjiao is a person I have admired for a long time, last year when Guan Zhangjiao insisted on resigning from the post of Nanhai Admiral Xuezheng, although I was the governor and repeatedly retained, if not, he said that he would go to the magic city to treat his stomach disease, I would never let him go. ”

When Shang Hanchen and Fan Luobai were touting each other, Guan Shouyi kept watching coldly. After Shang Hanchen finished speaking, Guan Shouyi said coldly: "Those who hold virtue prosper, and those who hold strength die." Patriarch Piao Gao has always relied on General Fan, even if there is a big matter between you, you must sit down and discuss it. ”

Fan Luobai was a little embarrassed when he heard this kind of didactic precept, and could only smile reluctantly: "That's nature, that's nature." ”

"The eastern soil is now pitch black, and there is only a ray of light in the south. There is a long way to go," Guan Shouyi said thoughtfully while frowning, "We people with lofty ideals must not kill our own people." In this way, it will only make the people of the Five Elements Sect Alliance let them take advantage of the fisherman. ”

"Why would I want to go to war?" Fan Luobai stood up with a smirk, "I have my heart for the White Lotus as early as when I was a teenager, I have a long-cherished wish to follow the Piao Gao Patriarch, this is my belief, I believe that the White Lotus Holy Sect is the way to save the people, and I do not oppose your Fire Spirit Sect." Mr. Hanchen understands me, only others are responsible for me in this world, and I, Fan Luobai, will never fail others. Only others can remove me from all kinds of positions. And I would never say a word behind someone's back. ”

Guan Shouyi is not Shang Hanchen, although he has a great temper, his mind is the most sober. He looked at Fan Luobai and didn't believe what he said, so he asked, "But why do I smell blood?" My nose has always been not very sensitive, I am not good at intrigue in power, I am just a literati, but this time even if I have rhinitis, I can smell it, this smell of blood is so strong that I can't open my eyes. ”

Fan Luobai spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "Heaven and earth conscience, heaven and earth conscience, how can I be an enemy of the ancestor and his old man?" It's just that Patriarch Piao has repeatedly declared the Northern Expedition, well, it's too hasty. In my opinion, the current situation is that the enemy is outnumbered, and the most important task is to protect the territory and the people. ”

"Yes, yes, yes," Shang Hanchen said in a helpful tone: "When it comes to swords and soldiers, it will not be not, General Fan will take a little defensive measures at most, and if there is really any conflict, it is also the fault of Piao Gao Ancestor." He deceived people too much, and he was unpopular with the people, at least he didn't understand the people's hearts in the South China Sea. ”

Originally, Zhao Zongyuan didn't intend to speak when he sat in the last seat, but he actually saw that Shang Hanchen had been speaking for Fan Luobai, as if he had become Fan Luobai's doorman, so how could he still have a little fire spirit teaching. He stood up indignantly and said, "Mr. Hanchen, how can you say that? ”

As soon as Shang Hanchen saw that Zhao Zongyuan actually dared to contradict him, he immediately asked, "Why can't I say that?" If you want to talk about the faction of the feudal town, then he is the biggest faction of the ancestor who is high. ”

"Piao Gao Ancestor has done his best to save the people all his life, how can he say that the feudal town is a faction?" Guan Shouyi asked rhetorically.

Shang Hanchen actually contradicted the head of the sect at this time, and he said: "This fact is louder than words, who doesn't know that he, didn't Piao Gao Ancestor also ascend to the throne of the sect leader with the help of General Fan's power?" General Fan fought very bravely, and twice defeated the enemy of Guihai. Among the people of our Nanhai County, some people even shouted Long live General Fan. ”
