Although it is only ten miles from Pingquan Village to Jiayuan County, who would have thought that such a short distance would be extremely dangerous. But fortunately, Xiao Chen and his party finally returned to Jiayuan County safely.

Finally saw that familiar small city again, and Xiao Chen was even more emotional at this time. Just a few days ago, he secretly swore to the sky, vowing never to come back to this place where he had unbearable memories of the past, but in just a short time, he had to break his oath and reluctantly set foot here again.

Alas, the years are like dreams, and life is like a play. Life is always full of too many unexpected things.

"What do you think about that nonsense!" Xiao Chen shook his head in order to dispel the chaotic thoughts in his mind. At the gate of Jiayuan County, at this time, there were several people who looked like soldiers patrolling back and forth with a vigilant face. Looking at this posture, Ding Heng, Vice General Ding should not have left here yet.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen's heart was relieved, and he immediately walked towards the city gate. "Wait a minute, Xiao Chen, you can't just go in like this. Liu Lan, who was staying by Xiao Chen's side, hurriedly grabbed Xiao Chen's shirt.

"What's wrong? Liu Lan!" Xiao Chenqi said,

"Xiao Chen, are you going to go in like this?" At this time, Liu Lan's expression was extremely serious.

"How can you get in if you don't go in like this?" At this time, Xiao Chen felt that Liu Lan's question was really a bit funny.

"Xiao Chen, have you forgotten about Gao Yi?"

"Of course I haven't forgotten!" How could Xiao Chen forget that kind of thing! Although that Gao Yi had committed many crimes and died innocently, Xiao Chen almost died because of such a person. was also forcibly driven out of Jiayuan County because of this. Although afterwards, Ding Heng asked Liu Lan to bring a letter to himself, explaining to him why he had to do this. Although Xiao Chen also understood the other party's reason for doing this very well, he couldn't forget the cold gaze of those soldiers under Ding Heng who looked at him before leaving, and even there was a trace of anger or disdain in this gaze.

"Xiao Chen, no matter how Gao Yi deserves it and how innocent he dies, he is the chief soldier canonized by the imperial court after all. Civilians kill court officials without permission, and that is a capital crime. Although Ding Heng and his subordinates have no intention of arresting you for self-protection. But after all, you were driven out of Jiayuan City, and if you swaggered into the city like this, what would the soldiers who saw you think?

"Xiao Chen, you went back to Jiayuan County this time to get the location of the Huayang Sect, in other words, you came to ask Ding Heng. You have to at least take care of the feelings of Ding Heng and his men!"

"Liu Lan, then what do you say I should do?" After Liu Lan said this, Xiao Chen felt that he was really a little reckless.

"Brother Xiao Chen, what? You actually killed someone here? Or is it a general soldier canonized by the imperial court? It's too exciting! I can't imagine that such an elegant person as Brother Xiao Chen would do such an earth-shattering thing. Brother Xiao Chen, tell me quickly, I'm so interested!" The little girl came to her senses, she grabbed Xiao Chen's hand and shook it desperately.

"Xiyi, can you be quiet? Don't you see that I'm doing something serious?" Xiao Chen, who was entangled, really felt a little crying and laughing.

"No, no, people just have to listen!" the little girl didn't mean to stop at all.

"Sister, don't mess around!" Yuechan's slight reprimand voice came from the soul bead. Alas, perhaps only children do not know what sorrow is like!

......

"Xiao Chen, I think it's okay, you take Xi Yu to rest outside the city for a while, and I will go into the city to meet Ding Heng and tell him that you are coming to him. Listen to what he means, whether he wants to see you, and if so, where, and when he wants to see you. It seems that Liu Lan has already considered this matter.

In fact, Xiao Chen was not an abrupt person, and Liu Lan should have thought of these things a long time ago. But don't forget, the world Xiao Chen lived in was a peaceful and prosperous world, and the place where Liu Lan grew up was a world full of disasters and difficulties. Liu Lan, who grew up in this environment, was of course much more mature mentally than Xiao Chen.

"That's it!" Xiao Chen immediately understood, I'm afraid this is the best way at the moment.

In the school field of Jiayuan County, a large group of soldiers are practicing in full swing. But any normal person has the intention of chasing fame and fortune and glorifying the court. Even those hermits who retreat to the mountains and wilderness, in fact, few of them really see through the red dust, and the reason why most people who are familiar with them is more prepared to sell at a price.

And Ding Heng grasped this characteristic of human nature, which made the group of soldiers under him burst out with great enthusiasm.

And now the new chief soldier Ding Heng is watching all this with satisfaction from the sidelines, this is the result he needs. Not long ago, more than a dozen soldiers excitedly took leave to return to their hometowns. Ding Heng understood that when they came back, they would definitely bring him a large group of qualified soldiers. And he is moving steadily towards the goal of expanding the army and strengthening the army.

And in a very inconspicuous place farther away from Ding Heng and his men, there were three people who were unusually simple and even a little shabby in their clothes watching everything that was happening here. But no one would have thought that these three people who were so inconspicuous were the famous national teacher Huang Fuyan and his two grandsons of the Great Yan Kingdom.

Ding Heng really had two shots, and in just one morning, he made a straggler have the appearance of a fine soldier. Looking at the sweaty soldiers and listening to the deafening shouts of killing, Huangfu Yan couldn't stop nodding.

"Cut! Isn't it just a few beautiful words and some tempting conditions to make these stupid soldiers who have never seen the world so excited, what's the big deal?" the emperor pouted disdainfully.

"Yes, grandpa, why do you appreciate Ding Heng so much? Don't look at him as an obsidian martial artist, but in my hands, I definitely can't even go for a round. Huangfusuke also said disapprerovingly.

"You..." Huangfu Yan was about to open his mouth to teach his two arrogant grandsons, but one of them moved faster than him. I only heard two crisp sounds.

"Damn, who dares to beat your grandfather Huangfu Jun? Do you want to die?" Huangfu Jun was furious.

"Can your grandfather be beaten at will?" The two angry men turned their heads sharply to see which one had eaten the leopard's gall. But......

"It's me, do you two have any opinions?" Behind him, Huangfu Yanran crossed his waist and said angrily, "Tell you two bastards, if you dare to say bad things about Ding Heng again, I will hear a beating." ”

"It turned out to be a little sister! How could an elder brother be angry with you?" As soon as they saw Huangfu Yanran, the angry faces of Huangfu Jun and Huangfu Jie immediately changed to smiles. You must know that this sister of mine is grandpa's favorite baby, in case she is provoked, his brothers will have to face grandpa's thunderous anger.

When I think about it, it's all a chill.

"I said Yanran, I haven't seen your figure for so long, where have you been?" I don't know why, as long as I see my baby pimple granddaughter, Huang Fuyan's depressed mood will rise a lot.

"Yes, little sister, don't you always like to pester Ding Heng? Why have you changed sex now? Is it finally that Ding Heng's kid is too useless and bored? As an elder brother, I already knew that this would be the result. Huangfu Jun smiled and put his arm on Huangfu Yanran's shoulder, with a really like that.

"Yes, my little sister is unparalleled in this world in terms of status, appearance, and strength. Such a strange woman, how can he be matched by a toad like Ding Heng?"

"Two idiots, get out of me!" Huangfu Yanran, who could no longer suppress her anger, directly kicked out. Of course, it was impossible for her to meet her two brothers. After all, the two of them are no equals.

"Alright, don't make a fuss. Yanran, grandpa knows that you are absolutely reluctant to leave Ding Heng, but where have you been in the past half a day? Can you tell grandpa about me?" Huangfu Yan asked with a smile.

"Of course I'm here to get down to business, not like these two guys who don't grow up and don't do business. Always stay by your side grandpa, pamper you, let you take care of it. Huangfu Yanran glanced at his two elder brothers, "Grandpa, do you remember the incident when a group of chaotic people stormed the official treasury not long ago?"

"This, of course I remember!" Huang Fuyan nodded. This matter, his granddaughter has told herself more than once. In the description of his granddaughter, most of them are used to praise Ding Heng for his unruly and intelligent intelligence.

"Come on, sister, don't show off. Isn't it just a few mobs storming the official treasury? Ding Heng is also really, why bother to make such a simple matter so troublesome? If it were me, I would kill all those guys. But Ding Heng was good, not only did he make a very simple thing so troublesome, but in the end, he only killed a few people. His Ding Heng's courage is too small!" Huangfu Jun laughed.

"Yes, sister, to do great things, you must have a certain amount of courage and strong wrists, it seems that Ding Heng is far from enough compared to me in this aspect!"

"You—" Huangfu Yanran's face turned blue with anger.

"You two idiots, shut up for me!" Huangfu Yan roared angrily, and then faced Huangfu Yanran, "Yanran, don't care about your two stupid brothers, I think Ding Heng has done a very decent and perfect job in this matter." ”

"Although the people are lowly, they are the indispensable cornerstone of a country. We can't treat them blindly, we can only use grace and might, that is, we must make them feel fearful, and let them taste the sweetness, so that they can be willing to serve us. Those who resist, kill, and kill all the troublemakers, then who will provide us in high positions, food, clothing, housing, and use?" Huang Fuyan looked at his two grandsons, and looked like he hated iron but not steel.

"You two little rabbits, when can you think about problems as thoughtfully as Ding Heng?"

"Cut!" Huang Fu Jun, Huang Fu Jie cut disappreciatively.

"Grandpa, Ding Heng said that if there were no people behind them, these people would not risk killing their heads and storm the official treasury. Behind them, there must be someone behind them. If you can't get him out, this matter won't be over at all!"

"The people behind the scenes? Didn't those guys who made the most fuss have their heads cut off by Ding Heng? Then what else is the people behind the scenes? Does Ding Heng think that this way of handling things shows that his credit is not enough, and he also wants to do some tricks? I understand, I understand!" Huangfu smiled shyly.

"Idiot!" Huang Fuyan scolded, "Do you have a brain? Will the real behind-the-scenes commander stupidly rush to the front?"

"You're stupid. Seeing Huangfu being angrily reprimanded, Huangfu was in a good mood, "But little sister, since you are the person behind the scenes, it must be hidden deep enough, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to find him, do you want my brother to help you?"

"Huangfujie, what do you have to worry about? You are just as stupid as Huangfu, Ding Heng told me that it is actually very simple to find the person behind the scenes, no matter who it is, they all have the heart to chase fame and fortune. As long as you are willing to give a heart-warming amount of money, the bewitched people will probably rush to tell us the whereabouts of the hidden man. Speaking of Ding Heng, Huangfu Yanran's face was full of pride, "Foolish people are foolish people, as long as they are given a little sweetness, they will be able to take out their hearts and livers to do things for you." ”

"Wonderful, really wonderful. There is no true loyalty in the world, and the so-called loyalty is not enough to make him betrayal. And for these fools, as long as they spend a small price, they can easily find the person behind the scenes who is very hidden, Ding Heng, the old man really didn't misunderstand you. ”
