Chapter 191: King Pingdong
"Thank you for the promotion grace of the capital, and you will resist and die in this life!" In the big tent, Bao Chunlai knelt on the ground with an excited face and loudly expressed his loyalty to Liu Fan, Liu Fan, who was sitting at the top, knocked on the table, Guo Jia stood aside and stared at Bao Chunlai with sharp eyes.
"Get up, you have also helped me a lot when I came to this brigade, I have always wanted to promote you since the death of Qi Ruhui, the deputy commander, and now I am going to be transferred to the army of conquest and suppression, the position of this commander wants to come and go, and only you can take it, Song Ruifeng and Hu Yanhu are brave enough, but lack a little wisdom, I will give you the position of the commander, can you understand what I mean?"
Of course Bao Chunlai is not stupid, Liu Fan's meaning is obvious, and Liu Fan's identity is even more expensive than the son-in-law of King He Ling, since he handed this all over to him, Bao Chunlai naturally understands that this must be the instruction of King He Ling, and since then he has cultivated his own lineage, and Bao Chunlai is the first lineage selected by Liu Fan, as for what achievements Bao Chunlai can have in the future, it all depends on Bao Chunlai's own performance, and Bao Chunlai himself was born as a civilian, and he is already the biggest official position to be able to do this position of captain commander for no one above, if he suddenly falls off a thigh today, Bao Chunlai will naturally hug tightlyγ
Bao Chunlai knelt on the ground on both knees and hugged his fist, pulled out a dagger from his leg with a whoosh, and bit his teeth on the palm of his left hand and scratched it, and the blood couldn't stop dripping, Bao Chun raised his left hand as if he said to the sky: "I, Bao Chunlai, swear to the sky, worship under the command of Liu Dutong, and swear allegiance to the lord in this life! There is no place to die!"
"Get up, the position of the commander will be handed over to you, this brigade is the first brigade I have mastered since I joined the army, and you should understand the meaning. And in the future, this army will all belong to the prince, and we must all be loyal to the prince wholeheartedly. Guo Jia nodded to Liu Fan, and Liu Fan was relieved to hand over this brigade to Bao Chunlai, Guo Jia's eye for cutting people is not ruthless, since Guo Jia agrees with Liu Fan, he will naturally push the boat down the river, and the small hill is allowed to exist, but the premise is that the army must be loyal to King He Ling.
"Yes, the last general will never forget the great kindness of the prince and the capital, and swear allegiance to the prince!" Bao Chunlai's head turned very fast. Among the three lieutenants, it can be said that Bao Chunlai's cultivation is the lowest, but he is the one with the fastest turn, and smart people always know what they should do.
"Alright, the barracks will be left to you. The appointment of the military department will be sent back to you tomorrow, and I have brought a few brothers of the right age from home, and you can arrange official positions for them according to the martial arts cultivation. Liu Fan didn't choose to believe all of Bao Chunlai, after all, Bao Chunlai was an outsider, and Liu Fan also brought a few school-age children from the Liu family. Arrange them into the army.
Bao Chunlai knelt on one knee on the ground, clasped his fists in his hand and said: "Thank you Dutong, the last general will swear allegiance to the death, and he will definitely live up to the trust of Dutong and work hard to train the brigade." It is bound to become a sharp knife in the hands of the prince. β
Of course, Bao Chunlai couldn't refuse, and he didn't dare to refuse. He knew what Liu Fan meant by this? King He Ling intended to let Liu Fan cultivate his own lineage in the army, and of course Bao Chunlai had to hug Liu Fan's thighs tightly. It is impossible for him to refrain from any of Liu Fan's orders, let alone dare to refuse.
Liu Fan rode on top of the shadow, and there was no rest time for a few days when he returned to the imperial capital, so he had to rush to the North Ming tomorrow, and today he was going to visit the Xia family of the king of Pingdong, and now the Xia family and the Liu family are in the same breath and have a close relationship, as an important son of the Liu family, and he is also the son-in-law of Xia Tielin, the king of Pingdong, Liu Fan has the responsibility to visit the king of Pingdong.
There is no magnificent palace, and even this courtyard is smaller than the palace of the general marquis, the king of Pingdong can be said to be the smallest of the four kings, and the strength of the person is weak, if it were not for the prestige left by the ancestors thousands of years ago, I am afraid that this branch would have long since ceased to exist. ...,
There were eight halberd-wielding guards standing in front of the somewhat mottled gate, Liu Fan took the two brothers Fan Chong and Li Kui to the door of the palace and turned over and dismounted, handed the reins in his hand to Li Kui, Liu Fan walked up, this is Liu Fan's first time to the Pingdong Palace, the eight guards at the door did not know Liu Fan, and the two guards at the door will block Liu Fan with the halberd in their hands.
"Trouble the eldest brother to report it, and say that Liu Fan came to see Uncle Xia Shi. Liu Fan stood at the door and said politely to the two guards in front of him.
The two guards heard Liu Fan's name and put away the halberd in their hands, and stood straight, and the other six guards also looked at Liu Fan with admiration on their faces, although several people had never seen Liu Fan, but Liu Fan was able to break through the realm from a useless waste within a year, just this situation made everyone admire.
"Liu Gongzi, please! The prince has instructed, if Liu Gongzi arrives without notification, you can go in directly, and someone will open the door!" The two guards standing in front of the gate hurriedly opened the door, Liu Fan bowed to everyone and walked in, and then the door was closed again with a bang.
In the palace of the king of Pingdong, the courtyard is full of luxuriant trees, and the evergreen pine trees cover the courtyard like an umbrella, and several guards have already come to take away Liu Fan's war horse, and the other two guards led Liu Fan to the inner courtyard of the king of Pingdong, and someone notified Xia Tielin as soon as Liu Fan entered the door.
"Brother Liu, I'm looking forward to you and finally giving you to you, you don't know that my sister has been losing her temper at home for several days, you must help me persuade her. Liu Fan didn't take a few steps, Liu Fan's eldest brother Xia Xueyan greeted him, since the last time he cooperated with Liu Fan in Qingzhou, Xia Xueyan was also promoted to one level after returning to the imperial capital, and now he is already a military commander, and his grade has been promoted by two levels.
"Big brother, what are you talking about, you know that not long after I came back, I was sent to the death row in Ailao Mountain to investigate the reason, and I rushed over non-stop just after handing over the military order yesterday. β
Xia Xueyan smiled, took Liu Fan's hand and said, "Let's go, my father is already waiting for you in the study, I'm afraid that my sister will be angry again." β
Xia Tielin, the king of Pingdong, although he is one of the four kings of the empire, his own martial arts cultivation is not strong. It can even be said that it is a little weak, the Pingdong King has never had a real master since the death of his ancestor Xia Lie, and what is even more puzzling is that the strength of the Xia family has been weakened over the years, which is also after so many years. The Pingdong royal family has always had little say in the army, and among the younger generations, there are mostly female children, and the male family is scarce, which makes it difficult for the Pingdong Wang family to rise.
Xia Tielin sat on the chair a little tired, although the Xia family is not as big as the Liu family, but it also has a certain strength, and now it is also assassinated everywhere like the Liu family, and several assassinations have made Xia Tielin's spirit highly tense and exhausted. Xia Xueyan walked into the living room with Liu Fan.
"Father, Liu Fan and Liu Gongzi are here. Xia Xueyan walked to Xia Tielin's side with his eyes closed and whispered, Xia Xueyan opened his eyes with a sigh of gratitude, and rubbed his dizzy head a little tiredly.
"Uncle Shi is on top. Nephew Liu Fan greets you. β
Xia Tielin's eyes were full of satisfaction, and his heart was also happy, this Liu Fan was indeed not simple, he was able to break through the Earth Breaking Realm in just one thought, and there were only a handful of people in the entire history of the empire who could do this. The Xia family's martial arts cultivation is not strong, and now that they have Liu Fan's son-in-law, they can naturally let the entire family be relied on, Xia Tielin pointed to a seat next to him and said, "Get up." It's all your own family, don't be so polite, sit down. β...,
"Thank you, Uncle Shi. My nephew has been busy with military affairs this year, and he couldn't come to see Uncle Shi as soon as possible. Please don't blame Uncle Shi. β
Xia Tielin smiled indifferently and said, "It's okay, it's good that you're here, are you still busy lately?"
"Thank you Uncle Shi for your concern, I have been relieved of my position as the commander of the capital and transferred to the newly formed army of conquest and suppression, but tomorrow I will go to the North Abyss, I'm afraid it will be a few months, and Uncle Shi is not to blame. Liu Fan didn't understand what Xia Tielin meant, Liu Fan told all his recent situation one by one, and Xia Tielin, who was sitting at the top, kept nodding, which made Liu Fan even more confused.
"Are you going to the Northern Underworld?" Before Liu Fan could reply, Xia Tielin continued: "The Northern Underworld is very dangerous, but the Northern Underworld is not an opportunity, if you need any help, just ask." β
"Thank you Uncle Shi, the manpower nephews who went this time have been arranged, Dijing is in an eventful time, Dijing's manpower nephews dare not transfer, Uncle Shi, have those people been making a lot of trouble recently?"
"It's not very powerful, it's just that the men of our Xia family are sparse, if it weren't for the offerings in the family, I'm afraid our losses would be far greater than now. "The current situation really gives Xia Tielin a headache, and the lack of combat effectiveness of the Xia family has always been one of the main factors that make Xia Tielin troubled.
"Uncle Shi, if necessary, Uncle Shi can go to the Liu family to apply for support, now that our two families are united in the same spirit, we share honor and disgrace, and we must join forces to fight against the assassination of these evil demons. β
"Having said that, these people are elusive and skilled, and we are always unguarded, and if they can fight us in a decisive battle, we may not be afraid of them, but this insidious method has made us a little tired to deal with. Xia Tielin's face was embarrassed, if it was a head-to-head duel, the Xia family might not lose, after all, the foundation of the thousand-year-old family would not be worse if it was so bad, but it was slightly less than other families.
Liu Fan's face was also solemn, the methods of the rivers and lakes are indeed not what these generals who lead troops to the battlefield all the year round are good at, and the only ones who can deal with these people are the masters of the rivers and lakes who are also people in the rivers and lakes, but now the Xia Liu family has received the pursuit order from the rivers and lakes, and there are very few masters on the rivers and lakes who can be recruited, and the worship of the two generations is one less than one dead, and there is no fresh supplement Xia Liu The two families will soon reach the point where no one is available.
"Uncle Shi, we still need to think about this matter in the long run, but when the imperial court's conquest army is formed, and with the intelligence of blood drops and nets, we will definitely be able to kill these people, and then our two families will be truly safe. β
Xia Tielin shook his head and said: "It can only be like this, it is best not to have the result that you and I killed and killed the cult in a row thousands of years ago, but in the end it did not end well." β
"Okay, you go to the backyard to see Xuelian, this girl doesn't know what's wrong lately, her temper has been bad, you go and persuade her." Don't worry about our side of things, concentrate on the affairs of the North Hell, this is an opportunity, you have to seize it. Xia Tielin chatted with Liu Fan for a while, and Liu Fan slowly untied Xia Tielin's knot, seeing that the time was not early, Xia Tielin also pushed the time to Xia Xuelian.
"Uncle Shi, I'll quit. Liu Fan stood up and arched his hand to Xia Tielin, and a maid took Liu Fan to the backyard, while the two brothers Fan Chong and Li Kui were invited to the side hall to rest. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
