Chapter 217: Today's Guest
Luo Fan felt that Zhang Feiling's decision to go to Eighty Mountains tomorrow was very stupid, but his face did not show anything.
He asked calmly, "Yuwen, who came up with the idea of discussing the marshal in Tianwutai?" ”
Zhang Feiling heard Luo Fan's dissatisfaction, and explained ignorantly: "It was Cen Huang and the four of them who put it forward, but I think this proposal is very reasonable." Every time my father summoned the major commanders, he was in Tianwutai. Moreover, near Tianwutai are the camps of the kamikaze, the secret duel, and the jade whistle, and they are also the most trusted commanders in our cloth army. ”
After hearing this, Luo Fan smiled and asked, "Oh, why do you think that the four of Cen Huang can be trusted by us?" Also, why do you have to negotiate on their territory if you can trust them? ”
Zhang Feiling was even more puzzled: "They have been following the trend for a hundred years and have a grudge, and they were all my father's henchmen before." In the past few days, their intention to support me as the commander of the cloth army is also obvious. Besides, Cen Huang loves me, so he shouldn't poison me. ”
Luo Fan said earnestly: "Yuwen! You have to remember that the people and things you believe in will cause you to fall in trouble. It's true that Cen Huang likes you, but he just likes your body. If you can get what he wants, he will not hesitate to do it. And they have a grudge against the trend for a hundred years, which is indeed well known. But what everyone knows, it's not necessarily true. They all support you as the commander of the cloth army on the surface, how do you know that they don't want to trick you to the Eighty Mountains and then murder you? ”
Zhang Feiling was surprised: "Won't it?" They don't look like they're acting, are they? ”
Luo Fan shook his head and said, "Your father still can't see through people's hearts, let alone you." And there are no absolutes in this world, often people only need to take one wrong step, and they will never recover. In the future, no matter what others promise you, you must always take the initiative into your own hands. For example, if you choose the location of the negotiation at the foot of the 80th Mountain, it will not be convenient for me to arrange helpers to protect you, and even if the negotiation fails, we will have a way out. But you have arranged the negotiations on the mountain, in case the talks break down and several armies fight, where will you and I run with little strength? ”
Zhang Feiling said with a white face: "It's me who owes it to consideration." Now I've agreed, if I don't go, I'm afraid I'll miss this good opportunity? ”
Luo Fan continued: "If they really want to help you become a handsome, then your chance will always be there. If they don't really let you be a handsome, then you will go tomorrow, but it will be a dead end. Now, you are going to be the commander of an army, and you must have your own judgment and choice of things. If there is no chance, you have to create chances. For example, it's not that you didn't have the opportunity to be a big handsome, and now you're not a popular candidate to be a big handsome. ”
Zhang Feiling seemed to understand a little and asked, "In that case, we can't go tomorrow?" ”
Luo Fan got up and sneered: "Of course I go!" The last thing I'm afraid of is danger. If one ruler opposes you, I will kill one, and if ten oppose you, I will kill ten. You're tired too, so eat something first and rest in peace. I'll leave everything to me, and we'll leave on time tomorrow morning. ”
Zhang Feiling saw Luo Fan leaving, and said to himself: "Luo Fan, what a powerful character." I'm going to work on it too. As the only descendant of the Zhang family, I must revive the prestige of the Zhang family. Make those who used to laugh at my Zhang family pay! ”
Luo Fan returned to the East Courtyard, and at this time, a group of secret guards were also waiting for orders. Luo Fan gathered everyone around, opened the topographic map of the Eighty Mountains, and carefully explained the plan he had come up with. After everyone listened, they had a discussion. After finalizing all the details, they left Zhang's house to prepare.
The next day, it was just dawn. Dozens of black-clothed soldiers from the "Secret Decision Department" of the cloth army rode to Zhang's house to welcome Zhang Feiling to Eighty Mountains.
In order to facilitate his movements, Zhang Feiling wore a capable white dress today, simply tied a ponytail, and dressed like a white-faced student. Luo Fan is still dressed in black with a knife, followed by protection.
Came to the gate of the mansion and was about to get on the horse. Zhang Feiling saw that Luo Fan didn't bring a single guard, and asked, "Brother Yi, where are your guards?" You didn't say that it was dangerous, why didn't you bring a single guard? ”
Luo Fan smiled mysteriously: "It's because of the danger that I don't bring it." It is the territory of the Cloth Army, and the Cloth Army is the best at mountain warfare, and it may not be useful for me to take a thousand men there. In this case, it is better for me to protect you alone. In case of danger, I can also take you away. ”
Although I don't know why Luofan is like this, Zhang Feiling is also trusting. With a shy face, he said shyly: "As long as my righteous brother is by my side, I will feel at ease." ”
The crowd turned over and got on their horses, and galloped away to the eighty mountains.
Dragon City was only forty or fifty miles away from the Eighty Mountains, and it took half an hour to arrive on horseback.
Vision, secluded mountains. The trees are high and the forests are dense, and the springs are beautiful and the stones are beautiful, which is really a good scenery. Zhang Feiling sighed in his heart. This is the clan land that her Zhang family has guarded for generations, and it is also the pride of his father. But now this familiar mountain forest, it is difficult for her to get close. And the children of the cloth army were all heroic and full of confidence when they saw the mountain peak.
Luo Fan didn't have many ideas, and this was just a corner of his ambition. And the so-called eighty mountains are actually a thirty-mile-long mountain range from north to south. In ancient times, I don't know who was idle, but I counted a total of 80 mountains here, and named them 80 mountains.
Eighty Hills was originally the land of the Zhang family, and five hundred years ago, Zhang Santong, the ancestor of the Zhang family, sheltered the victims and established the Buyi Army. Later, in order to house the family of the cloth army, a southern city was opened up in the eighty mountains. Today, there are four or five hundred thousand permanent residents in Nancheng.
Come to the mountain pass, a wide herringbone gorge. On the stone wall, it is written: "Outsiders stop", and the red characters as big as four "people" are very eye-catching.
The crowd dismounted in front of the red letter. The little leader of the team stepped forward and shouted: "Today's guest is here!" ”
Hearing this shout, Luo Fan was displeased. How to call today's guests, Zhang Feiling is here to be the commander of the cloth army, it stands to reason that it should be called "today's lord"! Just listening to this password, Luo Fan also knew that this trip would inevitably be difficult.
And the leader shouted, and in the distance, a disciple poked out from the green conifers of the pine trees. I saw him holding high a black "dark" flag and letting him go.
Zhang Feiling looked back at Luo Fan and explained: "The entrance to the Eighty Mountains is the secret decision, and Hu Eryou is in charge of guarding it. The Secret Execution Department used to be my father's henchmen, and they were mainly responsible for monitoring and executing traitors in the cloth army, and their skills were mainly hidden weapons and poisons. ”
Luo Fan smiled: "Oh. I think that an army has strict military laws, and it is enough to enforce them without favoritism. It's not a trick to set up such a secret leader. It's as if there's always a knife behind your back, staring at yourself, which is not conducive to the unity of everyone. Fearful obedience, that's not true obedience. ”
Zhang Feiling sighed: "Brother Yi is right. Although my father was a frank man, he was too tolerant, even to the point of conniving at his subordinates. He never used these methods of assassination. Otherwise, it wouldn't be that none of the Ten Commanders were afraid of him. Isn't it? ”
Luo Fan nodded: "You are right. Your father was too kind. There should be different ways to deal with different people. Sometimes dealing with these villains can only make them afraid. ”
The group walked half a mile along the main road. Along the way, in the bushes and behind the stones, there are hidden children of the Secret Decision Department everywhere. And Hu Eryou, the leader of the secret decision, is taking more than a dozen of his subordinates as deputy commanders, waiting for the road ahead.
Hu Eryou, the little old man, was still full of shrewdness, and stood with his hands behind his back. Seeing the two of them coming, they looked at it from a distance. He was also puzzled, why didn't the other party bring an escort? Is it really that bold?
When the two of them came, Hu Eryou also greeted with a smile: "Yuwen is here." Today is your big day. When you become the commander of the cloth army, don't forget to take care of my uncle. ”
Zhang Feiling hurriedly gave a salute and said with a light smile: "Uncle, it's a joke." Only the elders take care of me, how dare Yuwen take care of me. No matter what happens in the future, the cloth army will have to bother the elders, and Yuwen will just listen to it. ”
After a few words of greeting, Hu Eryou and the others led the two to move forward.
After walking more than a mile, I saw Zhang Cong, the commander of the kamikaze, also leading people to wait on the side of the road. Zhang Cong was dressed in yellow and leather armor, carrying a cold sword, always with a black face and a serious and cold expression. He didn't say much, either. He only said, "Here we are." Then he followed a piece and continued to walk towards Tianwu Platform.
The kamikaze department is also Zhang Ruoxu's henchman, and it is the most courageous of the ten. Along the way, the children of the kamikaze were all yellow cloth armor, holding long cones, brave as tigers and leopards! They are especially good at leg skills, can jump several feet, and can run on the mountain wall like flying. Luo Fan looked at it a few times, and he was also slightly admired. The cloth army can not fall for 500 years, and it has some confidence. With these elites, it is not difficult to be ten with one.
