"Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness, but Qin Fan is willing to stay and help Your Majesty.

If there is an enemy attack, you can also fight it."

"Haha, have the courage, in this case, I won't owe the Qin County Order."

After hearing Qin Fan's voice, Li Shimin said with a laugh.

In his heart, he became more and more satisfied.

looked at Qin Fan at the same time, like a mouse seeing a cat.

Then he instructed the other party a few more words, and left in a hurry.

After Qin Fan left the Tang Palace, the thoughts in his heart became more and more firm.

With the gradual consolidation of his position in Wannian County, Qin Fan gradually shifted his attention to the throne.

And this change was naturally seen by Li Taishi and the rest of the important ministers of the imperial court.

It's just that because of his military power, no one dares to show it directly.

But Qin Fan knew very well that if he wanted to obtain that supreme throne, he must have a reasonable identity.

On this day, after Qin Fan finished handling official business in the mansion, he was just about to go back to his room to rest, but he heard the housekeeper come to report.

"Xiangye, Master Zhang from the east of the city sent someone to invite you over for a drink."

Hearing this, Qin Fan couldn't help but be slightly stunned. What kind of alcohol do you drink at this time?

Although he was puzzled, Qin Fan did not refuse the other party's invitation.

After all, he needs a backer now, and this Master Zhang has undoubtedly become an excellent choice.

A moment later, when Qin Fan arrived at Zhang's mansion in the east of the city, there was already a carriage waiting at the door. Seeing him coming, the groom immediately walked over and lifted the curtain.

Qin Fan stepped into the carriage and looked up at the middle-aged man sitting on the chief and asked.

"Uncle Zhang, what is the matter with you looking for your nephew?"

"Haha, Qin County's order is really fast."

"Come, let's talk after this glass of wine."

The middle-aged man smiled heartily, picked up the tea cup on the table and touched it lightly with Qin Fan, and then raised his neck to drink it all.

Qin Fan naturally didn't brush off the other party's kindness, and drank it all after following his example.

Putting down the teacup, he said with a little respect, "Uncle Zhang, please speak, nephew listens."

"Qin Xian's nephew is really heroic. In that case, my uncle won't sell it."

Zhang Dahai nodded, and then said, "I can't hide it, I called my nephew here today because I plan to leave for Luoyang tomorrow."

"I know that my nephew has a plan, so I specially asked someone to send the news to my nephew, hoping to help my nephew."

Qin Fan suddenly perked up when he heard this, and hurriedly thanked him.

"Thank you Uncle Zhang, the little nephew is grateful on behalf of my mother."

"It's all relatives and friends, you're welcome."

"In addition, this trip to Luoyang is in addition to helping the virtuous nephew with some small favors."

"The most important thing is to borrow the name of a virtuous nephew to avoid a lot of trouble."

"After all, Luoyang is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and dragons and snakes are mixed, if you don't make the foreshadowing in advance."

"I'm afraid that after arriving in Luoyang, I will inevitably encounter some small situations."

After Zhang Dahai said this, he picked up the chopsticks and grabbed a piece of meat and handed it to Qin Fan's mouth.

Seeing this, Qin Fan hurriedly stretched out his hand to block it, and then said vaguely, "Thank you, uncle, the little nephew is full."

When Zhang Dahai heard this, he was not reluctant, so he continued to eat.

And Qin Fan took the opportunity to ask, "By the way, Uncle Zhang, this time we go to Luoyang, will we still pass through Qingzhou?"

"Not bad."

Qin Fan was secretly happy when he heard this.

If you are passing through Qingzhou, you may be able to solve that matter by the way.

Thinking of this, he then asked, "I wonder when my uncle is going to leave?"

"It's still early, I guess it's going to be two or three months."

When Zhang Dahai said this, he suddenly sighed and said, "Alas, I thought I could be transferred to Jiangnan this time."

"Who would have thought that a Li would be killed halfway

Master."

"Now that he controls most of the power in the court, and he is deeply supported by the people, it is not easy to bring him down."

After saying this, Zhang Dahai stopped eating, and his face sank.

"It turns out that my uncle is doing what he is ordered this time."

Qin Fan was stunned when he heard this.

He remembered that in history, Zhang Dahai was transferred to Yangzhou at the end of May, and now there are only four months left until May.

That said, he had to speed up now.

"Well, it can't be helped, we officials have to obey orders after all."

Zhang Dahai smiled bitterly, and then raised his glass and poured a glass of spirits.

Seeing this, Qin Fan also took a drink, and then asked.

"Uncle went to Luoyang this time, do you need any help from your nephew?"

"Virtuous nephew, you have a heart."

Zhang Dahai patted Qin Fan's shoulder with satisfaction, and then pushed a letter into the other party's arms and said.

"Virtuous nephew, this is a letter written by someone I have entrusted me."

"If you have the chance, you will give it to Your Majesty's favorite concubine, Concubine Ning, she will definitely help you."

Qin Fan took the letter and replied solemnly, "Thank you, uncle." z.br>

"Alright, don't forget what your uncle asked you for. Let's leave tomorrow." After Zhang Dahai waved his hand and laughed twice, he urged.

"The little nephew obeys the order."

Early the next morning, Qin Fan said goodbye to his family and quietly embarked on the journey back to Luoyang with dozens of guards.

After seven or eight days of travel, he finally arrived in Luoyang City after ten days.

After Qin Fan made a little repairs on the outskirts of the city, he immediately led his men straight to the Luoyang Palace.

Luoyang, Imperial Palace.

Surrounded by mountains, the majestic complex resembles the abode of the gods beyond the clouds, with a magnificent view and atmosphere.

This magnificent palace is said to be a treasure trove left by a previous emperor.

However, under the suppression of successive kings, the garrison here is so heavily guarded and heavily guarded that it is difficult for ordinary people to set foot in it.

After Qin Fan led his men to the side hall on the west side of the palace, he stood quietly in the corner and waited patiently.

Soon after, a melodious bell rang slowly.

Then from the gate of the temple, a group of forbidden troops slowly walked out.

Each of them carried a steel knife on their backs, and they were slaughtered and solemn and indifferent.

Seeing this, Qin Fan's brows furrowed slightly, and he muttered at the same time.

"How is it a forbidden army? Could it be that I made a mistake?"

At this moment, one of the soldiers suddenly turned his head and stared at Qin Fan and asked.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Seeing this, Qin Fan hurriedly stepped forward and bowed with his fists in his hands.

"Brothers, the younger brother is the new captain of Luoshui County, this is my transfer paperwork."

As he spoke, he showed his Chinese book.

The soldier took the paperwork, examined it carefully, and then waved his hand and said lightly.

"Since you're a subordinate of the new Lieutenant of Luoshui, wait here for a while."

"Yes."

Qin Fan answered, and then retreated to the corner.

After the forbidden soldiers checked the paperwork, they dispersed.

After about half a pillar of incense, a patrol of soldiers hurried over from a distance.

Qin Fan glanced at it and saw that the leader was Li Dahai, whom he was familiar with.
