Chapter 116: Return to Zhennanguan
"I want him to break off my sister's engagement."
Ye Wuchen smiled: "The reason for looking for you is very simple, I want you to help me support the scene." ”
"You still need to hold up the scene?"
Lu Fan always felt that the other party had other intentions.
"Of course."
Ye Wuchen said: "Lin Yao and I can only be regarded as equal, of course, we have to rely on you to suppress him." ”
"That's your family business."
Lu Fan shook his head, "Shall I go and mix?" ”
"I was joking just now, you just need to accompany me, you don't need to do anything, and you won't offend anyone."
Ye Wuchen suddenly changed his words again, "I have my own way to deal with him." ”
"Then are you different from Qin Yu?"
Lu Fan was a little puzzled.
"Of course not."
Ye Wuchen said: "After all, your identity is there, how can your reputation be comparable to others?" As long as you go with me, even if you don't do anything, it can have a deterrent effect. ”
"I didn't expect that."
Lu Fan sighed: "You Ye Wuchen have also learned to flatter people." ”
"Haha."
Ye Wuchen was amused, "Who made you my boss?" I will flatter you more in the future. ”
Lu Fan shook his head helplessly, "I didn't treat you as a subordinate." ”
"Yes."
Ye Wuchen patted Lu Fan on the shoulder, "Then it's decided, you go out with me early tomorrow morning, after all, we won't be in the capital for a few days, I want to solve this matter as soon as possible, so as to save future troubles." ”
"Okay."
Lu Fan really couldn't refuse, so he agreed, "I'll accompany you tomorrow." ”
"Hmm."
Ye Wuchen smiled: "I know you are interesting enough." ”
……
……
The next day, in the morning.
After breakfast, Lu Fan and Ye Wuchen took a carriage and left the Lu Mansion.
When they came to the Royal Forest Army barracks, the two got out of the carriage, revealed their identities, and explained their intentions.
"It's the two of you."
The soldiers guarding the door had all heard of Lu Fan's name and were extremely respectful to the two of them.
"Wait a minute, I'll go in and report."
One of the soldiers, trotting into the barracks.
A short time later, a young officer walked out of the barracks with his head held high.
He is very tall and dignified, but his expression is slightly arrogant.
It's just that when he was about to walk out of the barracks, he suddenly changed his expression and had a little more smile on his face.
Before the person arrived, he hugged his fists and greeted with a smile, "Commander Lu, Brother Ye, I didn't expect you two to come, please come in." ”
"No need."
Ye Wuchen didn't catch up, but walked out a distance, away from the gate of the barracks, "Let's talk about it here." ”
"Oh?"
The young officer was none other than Lin Yao, and he restrained his smile and his expression became solemn.
The three of them stood still, and Ye Wuchen did not greet Lin Yao, but directly explained his intentions.
"I came to you today to ask you to take the initiative to dissolve the marriage contract with my sister, and from now on, our two families will have nothing to do with each other."
"What?"
Lin Yao was stunned, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and there was no displeasure on his face, "Brother Ye, this marriage contract was made by both parents, and with your words, you want me to break the marriage contract?" How can it be? ”
"I came to you because I didn't want to embarrass each other in the future."
Ye Wuchen said calmly: "Since you don't agree, then I might as well tell you, I know what you have done, if you say those things, not only will it be bad for your reputation, but even your Lin family's reputation will be damaged, and your marriage contract with my sister will still be dissolved at that time." ”
"How can it be!"
Lin Yao looked angry, glared at Ye Wuchen and said, "Brother Ye, I, Lin Yao, am an upright person, what can I do to see people?" Don't scare me! ”
"I knew you wouldn't admit it."
Ye Wuchen wasn't angry at all, and smiled heartily, "Do you think I'm lying to you?" To tell you the truth, I've already found out about the you've done. ”
"The girl of the Liu family, the girl of the Zhang family, and the girl of the Tian family, are all like you?"
"There are also girls from the Wang family, girls from the Shi family, there are too many."
"I'm not going to say it all."
"But I'm telling you, I know more than you think."
"And I have the evidence."
Ye Wuchen smiled: "Do you think I will wronged you for no reason?" ”
Lin Yao was silent.
He only now knew that the other party had come prepared.
But this marriage contract, he really doesn't want to dissolve it.
First, it is because of the status and strength of the Ye family, and secondly, because Ye Wuchen is competitive.
Now that he has become the deputy commander of the Dragon Shadow Guard, his future prospects are limitless.
Being able to marry the Ye family is of great benefit to his future and status.
How could he give up so easily?
"Brother Ye, you also know, man, isn't it normal to have three wives and four concubines?"
Lin Yao sneered: "Please raise your noble hand and spare me this time, I promise you that there will never be such a thing in the future." ”
"Normal?"
Ye Wuchen sneered: "Before you got married, you thought about three wives and four concubines? Then after my sister passed the door, how much grievance did she have? ”
"How could I possibly trust my sister to someone like you?"
"If you are interested, take the initiative to break the marriage contract, and you can save your face."
"If not, when you tear your face in the future, no one will look good."
Speaking of this, Ye Wuchen glared at Lin Yao, "Do you really want your ugly thing to be known to the world?" ”
"Brother Ye."
Lin Yao was in a dilemma, "Can this matter be discussed in the long run?" ”
"Nope."
Ye Wuchen's attitude was extremely resolute, "This matter is not negotiable, if you refuse to agree, I will leave Beijing in a few days and return to Zhennanguan." When I pass by Jinling City, I will go home and report this to my parents, and it will be our Ye family who will break the marriage contract at that time. ”
"This ......"
Lin Yao was in a dilemma, and tried to persuade: "Brother Ye, they are all a family, everything can be discussed?" ”
"Who's family with you?"
Ye Wuchen said disdainfully: "Don't be delusional anymore, as long as I am here, it is impossible for my sister to marry you." ”
"Alas!"
Lin Yao let out a long sigh and was silent again.
"Okay, I won't tell you more."
Ye Wuchen was a little impatient, "Since you don't agree, then wait for our Ye family to dissolve the marriage contract." ”
With that, he was about to turn and leave.
"Wait."
Lin Yao hurriedly stopped Ye Wuchen, "Okay, I promise you." ”
On balance, he had to make such a decision.
There is no way, he does deserve it.
And Ye Wuchen's attitude was extremely resolute.
What's more, Ye Wuchen's current identity and status are extraordinary, and he is accompanied by Lu Fan.
"Okay, since you agreed, you have to do what you say."
As he spoke, Ye Wuchen glanced at Lu Fan, "It just so happens that Lu Fan is also here today, just give us a witness, I will give you a month, if you don't take the initiative to dissolve the marriage contract within a month, don't blame me for being polite." ”
"I, Lin Yao, still have this bit of proportion."
Lin Yao sighed: "You wait for my news." ”
"Let's go."
Ye Wuchen pulled Lu Fan.
"Oh."
Lu Fan almost didn't say a word today, it was really as Ye Wuchen said, he just came to be a spectator.
The two got into the carriage, and as the coachman waved his whip, the carriage galloped away.
Lin Yao looked at the direction in which the carriage disappeared, his eyes were a little gloomy.
promised to return, but he was still a little unwilling.
No, you can't give up so easily.
Within a month, we have to think of a good way to get this thing back.
Otherwise, he will always be unhappy in his heart.
If there is really no way, he can only take the initiative to dissolve the marriage contract as Ye Wuchen said.
But the breath in my heart can't come out.
It's so aggrieved!
Ye Wuchen, you deceive people too much!
Today's hatred, he has temporarily written it down, and if he has the opportunity in the future, he will double it!
……
……
Had lunch.
Lu Fan returned to the bedroom, and after going to bed, he sat down cross-legged and began to meditate and cultivate.
After a long time, he heard the faint sound of footsteps and opened his eyes.
"Childe, Young Master Liu is here."
Zhiqing's voice came from outside the door.
"Okay, got it."
Lu Fan opened the door and came to the living room, only to see Liu Zhi standing there, looking at him with a smile.
"I didn't come to you because I knew you were busy lately, but you're about to leave, I have to come to see you off and see you off by the way."
"Okay."
Lu Fan smiled: "You came just in time, I'll have a few drinks with you tonight." ”
"Come to my house."
Liu Zhi whispered: "I'm not the only one who wants to see you off, and it's inconvenient for them to come, so I can only invite you over." ”
"Huh?"
Lu Fan was stunned and said, "Who else?" ”
"My fifth sister, and my brother-in-law."
Liu Zhi smiled and asked, "You won't mind, right?" ”
"It's them, of course."
Lu Fan thought to himself, he had originally planned to meet with He Zifeng to talk about forging weapons and equipment.
"There's another person you know."
Liu Zhi said: "Wu Lingzhao also wants to see you off, I can't shirk it, so I'll ask you, if you don't agree, then don't let her participate." ”
"It's okay."
Lu Fan smiled: "I have no enmity with her, you look at the arrangement." ”
"Okay, let's go."
Liu Zhi turned around with a smile, "The carriage is waiting outside." ”
"Please."
Lu Fan and Liu Zhi left side by side.
Out of the Lu Mansion, the two got into the carriage, and the carriage galloped away as the young driver threw the whip.
In front of the Liufu Gate.
Wu Lingzhao, He Zifeng, Liu Xiaoyue, and the three of them were standing at the gate, looking into the distance.
Now Lu Fan's identity is not as good as before, in order to show their sincerity, they decided to come out to greet them.
"Drive!"
The crisp sound of horses' hooves sounded, accompanied by the shouts of teenagers.
A golden carriage approached from a distance.
"Here we are."
The three of them were in good spirits.
"Phew!"
The carriage stopped, and the boy jumped out of the carriage and lifted the curtain.
The three of them greeted them.
Liu Zhi and Lu Fan got out of the carriage and joined the three.
After a few words of greeting, everyone entered the Liufu together.
It was almost dark at this time, and they did not linger in the drawing-room, but went directly to the dining room, and sat down as the guest of honor.
The food and drinks were quickly served.
Liu Zhi raised his wine glass, looked at Lu Fan beside him, and said with a smile: "When I met Lu Fan, he was just a small soldier patrolling the streets, I never imagined that he could have today's achievements. ”
"In less than two years, from an ordinary soldier to the current commander of the Dragon Shadow Guard."
"It's amazing!"
"I'm very fortunate to be friends with Lu Fan now, and I will cherish the love between us."
"In a few days, you will return to the capital, even if you are reluctant, I can only send you away."
Speaking of this, Liu Zhi raised his hand slightly, "Come on, I'll toast you." ”
"Cheers!"
Lu Fan raised his glass in response.
After the two clinked glasses, they drank all the wine in the glass.
After chatting with Liu Zhi for a few words, Lu Fan turned his gaze to He Zifeng, "Young Zhuang Master, I have something I want to cooperate with you, I don't know if you are interested?" ”
"Oh?"
He Zifeng was a little surprised, and nodded slightly, "Commander Lu, please speak." ”
"I want to buy new equipment for the Zhennan Army Long Yingwei."
Lu Fan said: "Including sabers, bows and arrows, armor, various protective gear, and daggers that I carry with me, etc., I want the best, think about it, only the Sword Villa has this strength." ”
"That's a good idea."
He Zifeng was greatly surprised, and asked with a smile, "How much does Commander Lu plan to want?" ”
"Five hundred and ten."
Lu Fan thought for a while and said, "If I can, I want to hand over the arrows to the Sword Trial Mountain Villa to build, this is unlimited, the more the better." ”
"No problem."
He Zifeng agreed, "Commander Lu, let's talk about the specific requirements, I have to confirm it first, and see if our Sword Trial Villa can meet your requirements." ”
"Okay, I'll talk about it in general."
Lu Fan groaned for a while, and according to what he thought in his heart, he said truthfully: "The saber should not be too wide, it should be thicker, the length should be moderate, and the most important thing is that it is tough and easy to chop." ”
"The armor should be as light as possible, at least to prevent the slash of the sword, and even better if it can block the penetration of the bow and arrow."
"The same goes for protective gear."
"The dagger doesn't require much, as long as it's sharp and durable."
"As for bows and arrows, they should have a long range and strong penetration."
Speaking of this, Lu Fan glanced at He Zifeng, "I only think about so much for the time being, do you think it's feasible?" ”
"All I can say is my best, but I'm not sure if it will be as satisfying as you are."
He Zifeng frowned slightly, and reminded: "Moreover, if you want to meet your requirements, you not only need strong forging skills, but more importantly, basic materials. You also know that the better the material, the more expensive it is. ”
"You don't have to worry about that."
Lu Fan said: "You can rest assured, as long as you can meet my requirements, no matter what materials you use, I will pay according to the price." ”
"Okay, there is no specific sample, and the price cannot be set for the time being."
He Zifeng thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, I'll make two sets according to your requirements first, and show them to you, if you are satisfied, let's set the price and continue to make the rest of the equipment." ”
"If you're not satisfied, that's fine."
"Those two sets of equipment are my gifts to you, and I won't take a penny."
"But that's the end of our cooperation."
After speaking, He Zifeng asked, "What do you think?" ”
"Just as you say."
Lu Fan smiled: "Of course, no matter what, I won't lose a penny from you, you are doing me a favor, how can I let you suffer?" ”
"Good!"
He Zifeng praised: "Commander Lu is really refreshing. ”
"You see, having a meal has become a big deal."
Liu Zhi smiled and raised his glass, "It's better like this, let's toast Lu Fan with a glass of wine, and wish him smooth sailing and rising step by step!" ”
"Okay."
Everyone raised their glasses, "Cheers!" ”
"Cheers!"
……
……
The next morning.
Lu Fan, Ye Wuchen, Qin Yu, Cao Ning, Meng Ran, Song Yu, and the six of them entered the palace together.
Inside the Temple of Nourishing the Heart.
Six people sat upright.
Li Tianrun looked around at everyone with relief on his face.
"You can leave Beijing tomorrow."
"Yes."
The six agreed in unison.
"Zhennanguan is far away from the capital, and it is inconvenient to transmit news."
Li Tianrun said: "I will arrange a special messenger to deliver news for you, and if you have news, you can also pass it to me through the messenger." ”
"Whatever you do, you can play."
"It doesn't go through anyone at all, and it can be delivered directly to me."
As he spoke, Li Tianrun glanced at Lu Fan, "Lu Fan will be responsible for collecting it and reporting it to me." ”
"Yes."
The six of them shouted yes.
"In addition, you should also feel that several surrounding countries are ready to move."
Li Tianrun said: "I'm worried that they will unite and attack my Great Zhou at the same time, and when the time comes, we will be exhausted due to insufficient troops." ”
"And Zhennanguan is especially important to face the powerful Chu State."
"If Zhennan Pass is lost, the gateway to the south will be wide open, and President Chu Junding will drive straight into it and go straight to the rich land south of the Yangtze River."
"At the same time, the Southeastern and Southwestern armies are also in danger of being outflanked."
"So, Zhennanguan can't afford to lose no matter what!"
"You Dragon Shadow Guard are the key to the battle!"
"Especially Lu Fan, the burden on your shoulders is the heaviest, remember to be calm and calm, even if you fall into a crisis, you must turn the tide."
"For this reason, you can have full command of the Zhennan Army Dragon Shadow Guard, everything is based on your decision, even if Zhao Fei can't interfere with you."
After a pause, Li Tianrun continued: "That token, just store it in your place for the time being, and at a critical time, you can take it out to deter everyone." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, rest assured."
Lu Fan said loudly: "The minister will never let the enemy army step into Zhennan Pass for half a step. ”
"Okay, that's what I want."
Li Tianrun looked at Lu Fan with appreciative eyes, "I believe that you will be able to do it!" ”
"And you."
As he spoke, Li Tianrun turned his gaze to a few other people, "We must work together to assist Lu Fan and ensure that Zhennanguan is not lost!" ”
"Yes."
Several people agreed in unison.
"Here, I replace wine with tea, and I wish you all a smooth journey."
Li Tianrun picked up the teacup and raised his hand to everyone, "My Great Zhou is now stormy, and I hope you can show your skills to help me sweep away the enemy and create a prosperous era of Great Zhou!" ”
"Yes, the minister should do his best."
Everyone raised their glasses.
……
……
November 11th.
In the morning, at the hour of the hour.
Outside the Lu Mansion, it was full of people.
Today is the day when Lu Fan and the others set off to return to Zhennanguan.
Zhiqing took her subordinates and went out of the house to see them off.
Lu Fan only brought Qiao Yun, not Zhiqing.
After all, he wants to live in the barracks, and in his capacity, although he can bring a female dependent, it is not necessary.
As for taking Qiao Yun with him, it was just to reunite Qiao Yun with his family, and he wouldn't take it with him.
And he has other arrangements for Qiao Yun.
"Childe, be careful on your way."
Zhiqing looked at Lu Fan quite reluctantly, "I'm not by your side, you have to take care of yourself." ”
Half a year of getting along made Zhiqing a little more dependent on Lu Fan.
And full of admiration and gratitude.
She had never met such a good master, and she had never even heard of it.
has always been kind to her, and refuses to say a word of weight.
Not to mention scolding.
"You take care of the home for me, and wait for me to come back with peace of mind."
After Lu Fan finished speaking, he turned his head to look at everyone again.
Liu Zhi, Wu Lingzhao, He Zifeng, Liu Xiaoyue, Gu Chen, are all here.
Zhao Changan and Li Chengan also came.
There are also Gao Wancheng, Zeng Xiang, and other imperial guards, as well as Yan Qing, Zhu Jingtian, Mu Yan, and other dragon shadow guards of the Royal Forest Army, who also came to see them off.
"Everyone, there will be a date later!"
Lu Fan hugged his fists at everyone and turned over on his horse.
Ye Wuchen and the other six people also followed.
"There will be a date later!"
The crowd responded.
"Drive!"
Lu Fan gently threw off the horsewhip in his hand and galloped away.
Ye Wuchen and the other six followed.
Looking at Lu Fan's back, which gradually disappeared into the dust and smoke, everyone stood for a long time, each silent.
I don't know when we'll see each other.
When you say goodbye, you may already be different.
Even, there was no chance to meet.
But no matter what, the story between them continues.
It was fate that linked their names to Lu Fan, and when Lu Fan's name was praised by the world in the future, they would also be mentioned repeatedly.
It will even be written into the history books in the future and passed down for centuries.
……
……
Half a month later.
November 26th, afternoon.
Lu Fan and his entourage arrived at Jinling City.
Under Ye Wuchen's kind invitation, everyone did not go to the post house, but prepared to go to Ye's house.
This is Lu Fan's second visit.
But the feeling is completely different.
Before he came to Ye's house, he heard a lot of noise.
Getting closer, Lu Fan saw the crowd of black, hundreds of people, standing in front of the Ye family, as if they were deliberately greeting them.
Such a grand greeting made even Lu Fan surprised and surprised.
What does this do?
Although his current identity is not ordinary, after all, it is only a personal strength, and compared with the huge power of the Ye family, it is still far behind.
Is there something to ask for?
Shouldn't it?
Either because of Ye Wuchen, after all, Ye Wuchen is his subordinate.
Lu Fan was thinking about it, and everyone in the Ye family had already greeted him.
He quickly dismounted and walked towards the people.
Ye Wuchen caught up with him and walked side by side with him.
"This is Commander Lu, right?"
At the front of the crowd were a couple, who looked to be in their thirties, graceful and luxurious, and had an extraordinary appearance.
The two greeted Lu Fan first.
"It's me."
Lu Fan clenched his fists and saluted back, "I don't know what the two of you call you?" ”
Ye Wuchen smiled and introduced: "This is my parents. ”
"It turned out to be uncle and aunt."
Lu Fan was relieved and said with a smile: "How can I bother you two to greet you in person?" ”
"It's okay."
Ye Qianshi and Chen Wenshi looked at Lu Fan with a smile on their faces, their expressions extremely cordial.
"I have long heard that Lu Tong LinkedIn is a hero.
"When I saw it today, it was really a young hero, heroic and extraordinary!"
The two praised Lu Fan several times.
"Uncle and aunt are so polite."
Lu Fan could only deal with it casually.
"Come, I'll introduce you again."
Ye Wuchen shouted at Lu Fan and began to introduce the others again.
"This is my uncle and aunt."
"And my third uncle and third aunt."
"My uncle and aunt."
"This is my cousin, she's my cousin."
"And my cousin, cousin."
