Chapter 239: Missed Opportunity
To Fan Li's surprise, the old man was not only not shelf-oriented, but also extremely talkative.
The power of the years seems to have precipitated into knowledge in him.
Fan Li was a human being in two lives, chatting with Old Man Hu and the old man Kan Dashan, Tiannan and Haibei, and he felt a little overwhelmed.
"It's really not a good opportunity for the virtuous couple to go north to buy goods at such a time." Old man Hu said with a smile: "Yunzhou City is in the midst of war, although the business road has not been cut off, but after all, there are some unstable factors. ”
Before Fan Li could speak, Han Yue preemptively spoke: "The lesson of the old gentleman is that winter is coming, and it is the time when fur clothes and big clothes are in demand. If you miss this season, you'll have to wait another year before you can have a fur business. ”
"Hahaha!"
Old man Hu couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw a woman in Hanyue District, who actually talked about businessmen and trades.
Fan Li was also surprised.
Is this still the Cold Moon Holy Lord in his memory?
That noble and proud, powerful woman, disguised as the wife of the merchant Jia, was so godlike?
"Speaking ......"
Old man Hu looked Han Yue up and down, and suddenly smiled mysteriously.
"The old decay is slightly the same as the medical skills, just now Mrs. Fan's face is pale, and it seems that she has not yet given birth to an heir?"
"It's better to let the old man take the pulse of Mrs. Fan, and then open a prescription, maybe Fan Xiaoyou will be able to hold his son next year?"
"No need!"
Fan Li and Han Yue actually spoke in unison and rejected Old Man Hu's 'kindness'.
"Oh?" Old man Hu looked at the two of them, and there was deep meaning in his eyes.
In these years, filial piety is valued all over the world.
The Ming Dynasty, especially advertised as ruling the world with filial piety.
The so-called filial piety is the first, and no second is great.
A young couple who don't have children but aren't in a hurry to have a baby is obviously not quite right!
Fan Li also gradually felt that something was not right.
Could it be that this old man Hu is testing himself?
It's reasonable to think about it, after all, his identity as an official in Yunzhou City is eighty percent true.
Since he is an official in Yunzhou, how can he not check if he encounters a so-called businessman like himself who is not afraid of the chaos of war outside the city?
According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, in wartime, even if Old Man Hu directly asks Fan Li to return to the city for interrogation, it is okay.
Therefore, Old Man Hu is polite enough now.
"No need!"
It was Han Yue who spoke first, but her tone was a little colder, and her face was also undisguised with annoyance.
Fan Li was secretly surprised, he didn't know what Han Yue wanted to do, he was afraid that he would accidentally reveal his identity.
In this way, only by killing Old Man Hu can he keep the secret.
Fan Li was a little nervous.
Because he had already discovered that he couldn't see through Old Man Hu's cultivation.
In other words, the strength of the other party must be more than the Jindan realm?
Fortunately, with the Cold Moon Holy Lord by her side, if she was willing to make a move, I believe that Old Man Hu would not be able to escape back to Yunzhou City alive.
The only trouble now is that there are any companions hiding Old Man Hu nearby?
Even if you let one go, it's a failure!
"Mrs. Fan is angry." Old man Hu looked at Han Yue fixedly, and still smiled: "Old man has no malice. ”
The Cold Moon Holy Lord shook his head firmly: "There is Lao Lao, but it is really not necessary. The slave family was careless in his early years, injured his body, and could no longer get pregnant. ”
"Oops!"
Old man Hu suddenly realized.
He hurriedly apologized to Hanyue, and said to Fan Li: "Old decay lost his mouth, he should be beaten, he should be beaten." ”
Old man Hu made a gesture to slap himself, but Fan Li hurriedly stopped him.
"Don't do that! With the kindness of the boss, how can the grass people not know the hearts of good people? ”
Fan Li and Old Man Hu were hypocritical for a while, and then politely gave up.
At this time, a young man who looked like a scholar led a horse towards the lake.
"Governor...... Old master, it's getting late, it's time for you to go home. ”
The scholar shouted loudly, but when he saw two strangers beside Old Man Hu, he immediately changed his words.
"Oh?"
Old man Hu shook his head with a smile, looking regretful.
"The old man has been suppressed by Shangguan recently, and he is very depressed in his heart. It's rare to meet such a year-old friend as Xiaoyou, but it's a pity that there is only half a day. ”
"Fan Xiaoyou, when you return from the north, you must stay in Yunzhou City for a few days, how about letting the old man enter the friendship of the landlord?"
Fan Li nodded in agreement, but complained in his heart.
I don't leave a contact information or home address, and I really don't have the sincerity to invite guests to dinner.
Besides, if he really stepped into Yunzhou City one day, he would also lead the army of Chu to enter.
At that time, Old Man Hu may not be interested in talking to him anymore.
The two sides said goodbye.
Old man Hu rode a horse, and the scholar led the horse to lead the way, and he really went in the direction of Yunzhou City.
Fan watched the old man disappear into the distance, and suddenly slapped his head.
"Oops!"
"That's not right!"
He suddenly came back to his senses.
Old man Hu invited him to stay in Yunzhou City, but did not report his address and contact information, which is not because Old Man Hu was perfunctory and did not mean to treat him sincerely.
Quietly on the contrary, the other party sincerely invited guests, but because of his too much authority in Yunzhou City, as long as Fan Li stepped into Yunzhou City, he would definitely not be able to escape his ears and eyes.
That's why it's so agreed!
"Yunzhou City...... There is such power...... It's that age again...... If he happens to be surnamed Hu ......"
Fan Li's face changed again and again!
!
He wanted to slap himself in the face!
finally guessed the identity of that person, it was actually the governor of Northern Xinjiang of the Ming Dynasty, Hu Zongxian!
If Hu Zongxian can be killed on the spot, Yunzhou City will be broken in the near future!
Such a God-given opportunity was actually missed by Fan Li???
"Cold Moon!"
Fan Li was in a hurry, staring at the woman beside him with burning eyes.
"What?" Cold Moon wondered.
"Can you ......" Fan Li almost wanted to speak, but finally held back.
Impossible.
Let the Holy Lord of the Pure Land be his own killer?
Fan Li laughed at himself in his heart, how could he have such a funny idea?
"What the hell are you trying to say?" Hanyue frowned and tilted her head.
"I ......"
"By the way, how did you come up with those lies? Pretending to be husband and wife with me, and saying that my mother's family lives in Beiting Lane? ”
"Seriously, your performance just now was perfect!"
Fan Li pretended to be curious, and did not forget to praise Han Yue.
"Humph!"
Han Yue was praised, but she raised her chin high, looking like she was not uncommon to be praised by Fan Li.
But with a smile on his eyebrows, he clearly enjoyed the process.
"I have a sister who lives in Daming Beijing. I often listen to her talk about the local customs, and naturally I know Beiting Lane, and even the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty is what I learned from her in my spare time. ”
I see?
Fan Li nodded, a little surprised.
With Han Yue's character, even among the known Holy Lords in the Pure Land, there doesn't seem to be anyone who can be called a friend?
She was always alone, so much so that Fan Li was used to the lonely appearance of the cold moon.
"Let's go."
missed Hu Zongxian, Fan Li felt regretful after all.
"Back to the military tent."
……
…………
Yunzhou City, Zhenbei General Wang Xingyuan.
Prince Wanli is reading an epistle.
Bloodstained letterhead!
What is amazing is that there is still a man's corpse lying in the line!
The corpse was riddled with holes, and there was hardly a piece of good flesh on its body.
The most hideous and terrifying thing is that in the atrium on his left side, the original old wound has added a terrifying wound that pierces the body!
"Enlightenment...... Great General King. ”
The Ming army scout, who was kneeling on the ground, his face was as white as paper.
When he looked at the corpse, his eyes still tinged with horror.
"This person must be the most elite scout of the Chu army!"
"My scout battalion has lost most of its men, and even the Elder Waiting has been killed by his dying counterattack."
"It can be seen that the secret letter and information carried by this person are absolutely true and reliable......"
