The Yao River hangs from the window.

Large and small riverboats enter and exit from the left and right of the wooden window, like a dynamic decorative painting.

There is no need to drink, and the atmosphere of the banquet is very harmonious.

After all, the people sitting here, regardless of their official positions, have fought side by side on the city wall of Jinhai, and they have a lifelong friendship.

Smell of the sound mentions his plane.

Ten days ago, when Hong Fan was still on the border of Huaiyang State, he organized a public flight demonstration.

It used a newly modified two-seater airframe, and Wen Zhongguan and Zhu Jingfu flew - the former was at the helm, and the latter was responsible for scattering a large handful of shredded gold leaf as it skimmed the Yao River.

A total of two taels of pure gold, with the sandwich hammering process to expand into a total area of more than 30 square meters of flakes, in exchange for the sensation of Liangzhou's reputation.

In the instrument monitoring system, Wenzhongguan is already a hot name.

When the people of Gimhae get together, it is impossible not to talk about snake people.

"Several tribes on the other side of the marsh have made a truce, and I'm afraid there won't be peace next year."

Liao Zhenghao stroked the broken arm and said.

The atmosphere cooled slightly.

Hong Fan brought up the matter of the musket in due course.

Liao Zhenghao immediately promised to go to Kaiming with Qian Hong tomorrow to test the gun.

"If it's not bad, I'll do it for you."

He patted his chest and toasted.

"I won't hide it from you, Liao and Commander Lu, the second-in-command of the Liangzhou battalion, are both real swords and guns, and their temperaments are also compatible, and now they have some weight in speaking."

"Buy a few hundred first, it's not a big problem."

Of course, this batch of guns will inevitably be equipped with the Gimhae City Defense Division.

So the conversation turned to the current garrison of Gimhae, Hu Ang.

"Hu Ang is a person who has not been close to us so far."

Hong Pan did not shy away from it.

"But in the past year, he has not refused to come to the silver gifts, and he has received more than 1,000 taels from my Hong family alone."

"Hmph."

Liao Zhenghao sneered when he heard this.

"A city garrison is also an innate cultivation, there is nothing to love money, don't be afraid of death."

"With a short hand, if you have something in the Hong family, he won't say that he supports it, and he won't drag it back if he wants to......"

I ate a long time for lunch.

After the old fire jade drank several jars, the drunken people even changed the name of the Jinhai faction to the Hongfan faction in the joke.

The feast was over.

After sending off the guests, Hong Fan relieved his drunkenness with true anger.

Out of the Xingsheng Hall, you will see the prosperity on both sides of the Yao River.

The river is sparkling, like freshly sprinkled gold leaf.

In the chronicles of Xijingcheng, the page that belongs to the twenty-ninth year of Zhenghe, Wen Zhongguan and his Yao River flying over will leave a trace.

But the world is not only Xijing.

Hong Fan remembered Gongsun Shi's gossip during the banquet.

Twenty years ago, there were still 8 million Dingkou in Huaiyang.

Two years ago, when the last household was reunited, there were only four million left.

······

Two days later, June 19.

Hong Fan arrived at the Zhangwu Courtyard early, sat down at Gongsun Shi for a while, and then went to see Xu Guinian on time.

This time it's in the tea room in the study.

After a brief greeting, Xu Guinian asked Hong Fan to sit down and took the initiative to make tea for him.

As always, it's unpleasant.

"You are still three months away from turning nineteen, and you have already made the heavenly list."

Xu Guinian opened his mouth, and his attitude was a little serious.

"Looking at the Kyushu Tiqi, it is also unique."

When Hong Fan heard this, he "relied on the cultivation of the admiral".

"My turtle son is still in the same state now, I'm cultivating a fart."

Xu Guinian replied coldly.

They both laughed.

The atmosphere is a little relaxed.

"It's important to come here this time."

Xu Guinian waved his hand, signaling to save those voids.

"Have you ever thought about becoming a full-time member of the hospital?"

He asked sharply.

Tiqi is a "guest of the Son of Heaven", without grade and wealth.

And the so-called main position is like Gongsun Shi and Wu Hongya, who have entered the Eighth Department as officials.

Hong Fan didn't reply immediately, as if in thought.

"I heard that a year ago, Zhuang Liren planned to give you a master? I can now directly give you the position of the Zhengqipin Division. ”

Xu Guinian really saved the temptation and directly "quoted".

"Liangzhou is in charge of the school, you can choose any of the four lines, and you don't need to worry about the future."

"With your ability, the future is at least a servant, and if the combat power can keep up, it is very possible for the Admiral to be a state martial artist."

"Because of this disposition, I have notified the mountain chief and obtained a permit."

"Forehead ......"

Hong Fan's eyes were embarrassed.

"Are you worried about martial arts?"

Xu Guinian obviously knew where the joints were.

"There is no limit to the martial arts hidden in the courtyard, and you can be awarded the following parts of Yuan Magnet after you have served for three years."

"Ten years can teach the whole article."

This is already an extremely generous condition.

Normally, even if Hong Fan has a 100% mission success rate, it will take seven or eight years to change half of the top-level martial arts.

Among the four places in the Zhangwu Academy, the power of the "Division" and "Cha" is even greater.

The former manages violent institutions such as anti-crime rangers, wrestlers, and tiqi; The latter manages large and small sects, and has the right to review and arbitrate the founding of the sect and the inheritance of the head of the sect.

"Hong Fan is very grateful to be valued by the Admiral."

Hong Fan got up first and saluted.

"The Admiral may also know that although I have resigned from my position as a supervisor, I actually have a lot of cooperation......

"Tianhe and Enlightened are right?"

Xu Guinian nodded back, obviously doing his homework.

"Tianhe Xing is fine, but the Enlightened Xing involves arms and must be broken."

He saw that Hong Fan's face changed.

"It's not that I'm harsh with the mountain chief."

Xu Guinian refilled a cup of tea and patiently explained.

"You are too young, it is when Mu Xiu is in the forest, you have to be extra disciplined."

"The Martial Arts Academy and the Instrument Supervisor are the top two of the eight departments, you have resources and money in your left hand, and you hold the martial arts combat power in your right hand."

"If you marry another daughter of the Shen family, you will become the king of Liangzhou in twenty years."

He laughed loudly, but his expression was serious.

"The Liu family hasn't been around for a long time."

The room fell silent.

Hong Fan weighed it again and again, and finally rejected this bright and infinite road.

It's not for the sake of Tiqi's "freedom", but that he really can't give up his enlightened behavior, and he can't give up another future outside of martial arts.

"Admiral, I've invested so much in firearms that I can't let go of ......"

Hong Fan got up and bowed again.

"Hey, I can guess a little bit about your thoughts, but firearms are just a matter of playing."

Xu Guinian sighed and replied.

"The world is like a stream, and the great is like a Muhammad, and in the end, only a Xianzun bridge will be left."

"Well, think for yourself."

He glanced at the empty cup across the table and didn't add any more tea.

Hong Fan wanted to retire.

But at this time, he remembered the lonely smoke that ran through the sunset in Huaiyang Kingdom.

He gritted his teeth and sat down again.

"Anything else?"

Xu Guinian asked.

"Admiral, I want to ask Huaiyang Kingdom."

Hong Fan said in a low voice.

"As soon as this trip goes, but seeing the devastation after the disaster, the diversion of streams, and the lack of good bark on trees, doesn't the court have an explanation?"

When Xu Guinian heard this, he raised his eyebrows.

"If you ask, it's okay for me to talk about it."

"The matter of Huaiyang Kingdom seems to be a natural disaster, but it is actually a man-made disaster."

"The king of Huaiyang is tyrannical and unrelenting, and there are not many people in the world who can watch it."

"With the temper of the mountain chief, if there was no coercion, he would have come to the door and killed him a long time ago."

"But there is a great deal of coercion in this matter."
