Chapter Forty-Eight: A Thunderbolt from the Clear

After Zhang Jiao told such a shocking secret, without waiting for Ma Fan to ask any more questions, he immediately spoke: "I will re-teach the cultivation method now, and then you will go back to cultivate for a good life, now you also know my situation, of course, you also know what the result of our relationship will be if it is announced, you still call me General Tiangong outside, do you know?"

Ma Fan said: "Teacher, I know!"

Zhang Jiao re-taught Ma Fan's cultivation exercises, and Ma Fan found that there was no difference between what Zhang Jiao taught and what he learned in the "Tongtian Sword Codex", but Zhang Jiao passed on the cultivation methods of the rotation period, the heartbeat period and the Jindan period that Ma Fan could not see now, and then Ma Fan had dinner at Zhang Jiao's place, and when he was holding the lamp, Ma Fan left Zhang Jiao's residence and was arranged to build a house in the city! Although the house is not big, all kinds of facilities are complete, and there are a few people who call it, and the arrangements are quite thoughtful.

Ma Fan still wondered if Zhang Jiao was not afraid that he would be exposed? Why did he still do this to himself, in this way, he was easy to be noticed, but after thinking about it, he suddenly thought clearly, if Zhang Jiao was a person who was unkind, it would be strange to himself like this, but in the past, Zhang Jiao was a very nostalgic and affectionate person, he was Ma Yuanyi's son, Ma Yuanyi died because he was doing things for Zhang Jiao, Zhang Jiao treated Ma Fan preferentially, and it was not even strange to arrange a house alone, but it made people notice something different.

This night, Ma Fan practiced a little, and then rested, the escape life along the way made Ma Fan not be able to sleep peacefully, and now that he is in a relatively safe place, of course Ma Fan has to sleep comfortably.

Early the next morning, Ma Fan was still sleeping soundly, and was woken up from the bed, Ma Fan looked at the person who woke him up with some annoyance, and found that it was Cheng Yuanzhi, who had met him yesterday, but did not have much friendship. I saw that today's Cheng Yuanzhi was wearing armor and covered with a hundred flowers robe. There is a purple and gold crown on his head, which looks even more majestic than yesterday.

If you don't know that this person is Cheng Yuanzhi, seeing such a person, Ma Fan will definitely praise: "What a heroic character." But knowing that this person is Cheng Yuanzhi, and according to Ma Fan's inference, this person is about to meet Liu Guanzhang, so seeing this person dressed like this at the moment, he can't help asking: "Uncle Cheng, why are you dressed like this today?"

Hearing Ma Fan's question, Cheng Yuanzhi said: "Some time ago, General Tiangong ordered Deng Mao to lead troops to attack Youzhou, but it has been so long and it has not been possible to attack for a long time. General Tiangong held a meeting overnight to discuss the current situation of our army, and felt that the Han army on the opposite side was quite disciplined, well-trained, and only focused on defense, and it was difficult to distinguish the victory or defeat with them in a hurry, even if Deng Mao's troops were called back, there was no way to take the Han army on the opposite side, but it was better to send another army to reinforce Deng Mao, early this morning, General Tiangong ordered me to bring 30,000 people to support, and Deng Mao's 20,000 soldiers together, 50,000 troops sent together, first completely defeated Guangyouzhou, solved the big trouble behind it, and then returned to the army to fight with General Tiangong against the Han Dynasty court soldiers and horsesใ€‚ โ€

Looking at Cheng Yuanzhi while talking about hahadaxiao, his expression was very happy. Ma Fan immediately asked, "Uncle Cheng, since the war is unfavorable and General Tiangong sent you troops, you should be very sad, why are you so happy?"

Cheng Yuanzhi said with a smile: "Haha, in the past few months, our army has fought with the Han army countless times, and I know best what the strength of the Han army is, such as the army on the opposite side, with strict military discipline, well-trained, and only defensive, it is difficult to get benefits at all, but the local Han army is vulnerable, and they all flee when they see our army." Nowadays, even if there are some new militias, these militias want weapons but no weapons, they want grain and grass without grain and grass, and they are hastily formed, which is even more unbearable than the local army of the Han Dynasty, and there are a large number of our Taiping Taoists, who can be used as an internal response at any time, even if such an army comes to 100,000, it is not enough to defeat our army of 10,000 horses, and they join the Han army, which will only make the Han army more vulnerable. That Deng Mao is also too, and it is shameful enough that the 20,000 army has not beaten Youzhou down for so long, and now he is embarrassed to see the number of people increasing and asking for help like this! If you want me to say that I will not send a single soldier directly, as long as I take over the troops in Deng Mao's hands, I will definitely be able to defeat Youzhou within a month, capture Liu Yan alive and send it here. For example, today the general asked me to lead 30,000 troops to the rescue, isn't this a great merit for me?"

Ma Fan secretly said in his heart: "This person is really in calamity and doesn't know it, looking at his proud appearance now, even if he reminds him to pay attention to those three people, he will definitely not take it to heart, but think that I am blushing at him for a great credit, or it is better not to say it." โ€

Ma Fan then arched his hand and said: "Then congratulations to Uncle Cheng, congratulations to Uncle Cheng! Uncle Cheng came to me early this morning to say goodbye? I only met Uncle Cheng yesterday, and now Uncle Cheng's army is about to send troops again, and he is busy with things and has time to come here to say goodbye, which really touches Fan very much!"

"Farewell, where do I have time to do those things? It seems that you kid doesn't know yet!" Cheng Yuanzhi was stunned, and then daxiao.

Ma Fan suddenly had a sense of dissatisfaction, and only listened to Cheng Yuanzhi say proudly: "As soon as I received this task yesterday, I thought of your baby, I said that your kid's cultivation has reached the condensation period, and the Tao is enough to serve as Qu Shuai, but he is too young and has no merit, rashly promoting you to Qu Shuai will definitely have many people opposing it, and you can't suppress the people below." I thought that your father would go, and if you didn't rely on the help of our uncles and uncles, who else could you rely on for a doll, so I proposed to General Tiangong to take your boy to go on the expedition with me. General Tiangong immediately agreed when he heard me put it forward, I came to call you to set off this morning, but I see that you don't even know about this matter, you must be unprepared. But don't be afraid, you don't have to do anything with me, wait until Guangzong is laid, your share of credit Uncle Cheng will help you report it, with that credit, you kid can't run away with a Qu Shuai, fourteen-year-old Qu Shuai, maybe we will have to rely on you to take care of it in the future!"

Cheng Yuanzhi's words were like a bolt from the blue when he heard Ma Fan's mind! It could be seen that Cheng Yuanzhi was also kind-hearted, and Zhang Jiao didn't know that Cheng Yuanzhi would be defeated if he went here, so he didn't know what considerations he actually agreed to Cheng Yuanzhi's proposal. But Ma Fan knew that Cheng Yuanzhi was going to die, and if he followed, there was little hope of saving his life! But Ma Fan couldn't tell anyone that Cheng Yuanzhi would be defeated if he went, after all, Cheng Yuanzhi was superior in every way now, and no one would believe him if he said it, but when people asked how he knew, he couldn't say it.
