Chapter 637: The Imperial Capital (8)
The meeting between Liu Fan and Shiling was described in later history books as of being of great historical significance, and the historians of the empire also had a very serious controversy when they later studied the meeting between the two people, and the main point was that Liu Fan, the Emperor of Shenwu at that time, agreed to cooperate with Shiling, for what purpose? Some historians say that the main purpose of the reconciliation between Liu Fan and Shiling was to change the situation of the Liu family in the rivers and lakes, and it can be seen from the fact that the Liu family later recruited some masters of the rivers and lakes, and it can be seen that this cooperation was of great historical significance. Some historians argue that the cooperation at that time was proposed by Liu Fan, because Liu Fan and Shi Julan at that time had some stories that had to be told, and it can be seen that Shi Julan later became the most favored concubine after the queen, and there is still a lot of content in this story that has to be said. No matter how these historians argued, few people knew the situation at that time, and the four people who knew the situation at that time did not mention this matter, and few of these historians knew that Liu Fan was forced at that time. Of course, in the folk, the latter version has become the mainstream, after all, the people are yearning for the beauty of haodeaiqing, and Liu Fan's aiqing is just in line with the people's imagination of the legendary Shenwu Emperor at that time.
The atmosphere was very awkward, Shi Ling himself hahadaxiao was there, and Liu Fan and his four subordinates were standing there with a black line. Liu Fan's face was flushed, he really wanted to tell Shi Ling that he and Shi Julan really couldn't fight, and he could even say that he had some hatred, how could Shi Julan take a fancy to him? And what is the situation, the entire Jianghu people are enemies of their Liu family, why are you here now? Let me be the son-in-law, what do you still want to do. You make it clear that it's not.
As for the ruthless four, it was even more embarrassing. The four of them were very wary of Shiling, but they didn't dare to make a move. First, there was no order from Liu Fan, but listening to Shiling's meaning, which seemed to be discussing Liu Fan's lifelong affairs. Of course, the four of them didn't dare to do it, ruining people's marriages was more serious than killing their father's hatred, and it was very brainless to do things for Aiqing human beings. The four of them glanced at each other first, and they all told each other very tacitly, seeing that the lord's face didn't seem to be very good, we should not have heard about it, and now we have blocked our own ears. This must not be revealed.
"What a boy. Do you have some dissatisfaction with my daughter?" Shi Ling also laughed and was also happy, but looking at Liu Fan's face, it didn't seem to be very good, and now it was Shi Ling's turn to be a little unhappy. Liu Fan's face, which was more ugly than bitter melon, was obviously telling Shi Ling, your daughter seems to have something like that.
"Hades senior, I respect you because you are an old-timer in the rivers and lakes. But some things can't come reluctantly, Miss Shi Julan is a good girl, is there some misunderstanding in this matter?" Liu Fan deliberately put himself very low, some things can't be said nonsense, but they will die. In addition, Shi Julan took a fancy to him, and Liu Fan really had to put a big question mark. Now Shi Julan is thankful that he doesn't kill him, and he takes a fancy to me. Obviously, they took a fancy to my head.
Shi Ling's face changed, and the change was very complicated, and Liu Fan couldn't tell what he was thinking from Shi Ling's expression. Shi Ling's eyes widened, looking Liu Fan up and down, as if he had discovered a novel creature, which instantly made Liu Fan covered with goosebumps all over his body, and after looking at it for a long time, Shi Ling sighed loudly, and said helplessly: "I really don't know what my precious daughter likes about you?" Although you are a young talent, there are countless young masters like you in my Hades Sect, and the young master of the Ghost Demon Sect is not weaker than you at all, if the Hades Sect joins forces with the Ghost Demon Sect, you should know what it means, right?" ”
"You know, the Hades Sect and the Demon Sect are two very influential sects in the rivers and lakes, and it is our Liu family's Yu Ling Army that destroyed your sect for thousands of years, and it should be said that our Liu family is the main reason for the separation of your two sects. In addition, over the years, there have been many children of our Liu family who have served in the Dragoon Army, and the children of your two sects should have been killed by us. If the two of you join forces, the target will definitely be our Liu family, and now with the liliang in my hand, I am afraid that I will be able to block your attack, of course, I am talking about the situation without a large army. Liu Fan's brows furrowed, the Liu family destroyed countless sects thousands of years ago, and it is understandable that the people in the world have targeted the Liu family.
Once the Hades Sect and the Ghost Demon Sect join forces, the strength of the two families will suddenly rise several levels, at present, it is difficult for Liu Fan's Dark Night Quicksand and Jin Lingwei to block the attacks of the two, most of the people recruited by Jin Lingwei are still cultivated by Liu Fan himself, fortunately, Liu Fan has a large number of pills in his hands that can smash a certain amount of cannon fodder in an instant, otherwise Jin Lingwei really only has a skeleton and no flesh and blood.
"It's good to know, I have carefully investigated the strength in your hands, except for Jin Lingwei and the dirty guard of the dark night quicksand, you have no available people, I don't know what method you have used in a short period of time to cultivate so many masters of the earth breaking mirror, but you must know that you are facing the entire rivers and lakes, how many people are there in the entire rivers and lakes? I don't know how many people there are, but how big the world is, how big the rivers and lakes are, and the Jin Lingwei and the dark night quicksand in your hands are not enough at all. Shi Ling nodded solemnly, at least Liu Fan's performance was okay, at least he understood that his current situation was not.
"Of course I know the words of my predecessors, but thousands of years ago, our Liuxia two families could kill, and now our Liuxia two families can still kill. I have millions of elite soldiers in my hands, and I can kill as many people in the world as I am willing to be enemies with me, and I will definitely not stop if I don't kill these people and dare not be enemies!"
Liu Fan's tone was very resolute, Liu Fan held millions of elite soldiers in his hands, and there was a group of famous ministers and fierce generals under his command, heroes of the rivers and lakes, who else in this world could compete with me? Who can compete with me? Liu Fan's words made Shi Ling very satisfied, if Liu Fan was soft at this time or found Shi Ling to reconcile, Shi Ling would not like Liu Fan. Shi Ling's eyes showed a look of satisfaction, which instantly made Liu Fan feel frightened, as if he felt something that he shouldn't feel.
Shi Ling looked at Liu Fan with a smile and said, "Good boy, you are very kind! I think I Shi Ling has been ruthless enough in my life, but I didn't expect that I am still much worse than you." ”
"Senior Shi, I don't think you want to say this to me when you come to the Imperial Capital, right?"
Shi Ling nodded and smiled, "Of course." Otherwise, what am I doing all the way from Yizhou to Dijing? I have to say you're smart. At least you know that you have a stand-in in Yizhou City, but there is one thing you did wrong, and that is that you want people to know that you are staying in the imperial capital. Your stand-in appears in Yizhou City every day, but you can only hide from those spies but not from us, the real masters, your stand-in is not enough after all, and none of your wives and concubines left in Yizhou appear by the stand-in, don't you think it's strange?"
"The old-timers really have a pair of discerning eyes, and the younger generations really admire them very much. Liu Fan's face changed. He knew that Guo Jia must be perfect in doing things, and obviously he had calculated everything. The stand-in's cultivation is indeed not high, but Guo Jia has already found a way to make the stand-in look like a master, and find a way to let the stand-in accompany a few women who are similar to his wives and concubines, but Liu Fan knows that that method is too fake after all, and a fake cultivation can't hide these real masters at all. Thinking of this, a trace of uneasiness flashed in Liu Fan's heart, Shi Ling was able to find out that obviously other people could also find out, that is, it was no secret that he came to the imperial capital.
Shi Ling seemed to see the meaning of the expression on Liu Fan's face, and said to Liu Fan in a positive voice: "Yes, the guess is very good." I estimate that the entire people in the imperial capital now almost know the news about you in the imperial capital, even if they don't know it now. It won't be long before they know it all. At that time, it is the real test for you, you are smart but you are clever and mistaken, and you want to hide from those real masters, these are not enough. ”
Shi Ling's words made Liu Fan's heart chuckle, if the entire people in the rivers and lakes of the imperial capital knew that Liu Fan was in the imperial capital, then the whole situation would have completely changed. Now his hatred value in the rivers and lakes has risen sharply, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the most wanted criminal in the rivers and lakes, Liu Fan believes that Guo Jia must have done a good job, but he still underestimates these people in the rivers and lakes. Liu Fan's brows suddenly locked together, his support has not yet arrived, and the enemy's strength is too strong, it is really possible for him to fight hard during this time.
"I also tell you a valuable news, Zhang Bai's requisition is still a day's journey to the vicinity of the imperial capital, at most two days outside the city will gather more than a million loyal to his army, in addition to the Xiliang army also to the Qingzhou boundary, the Qingzhou army has already gone south, I think Zhang Bai's military order should exceed five million, this is not counting the army of the eight imperial merchants outside the Tiger Prison Pass, I think the army controlled by your imperial capital, is it the opponent of these armies, I don't need to say. ”
The news brought by Shiling obviously made Liu Fan's face change even more, and these news must have been heard by the quicksand in the dark night, but it has not yet been sent to Liu Fan's hands. The southward movement of the Western Liang Army and Liu Fan's mobilization of the Yongzhou Army to the south are one purpose, but the combat effectiveness of the Western Liang Army is definitely not comparable to that of the Yongzhou Army. The strong combat effectiveness of the Xiliang Army is not much worse than that of the Imperial Guards, counting the Qingzhou Army and the Uncontrolled Guards who have skyrocketed in combat effectiveness, as well as the terrifying army of the Eight Great Imperial Merchants, Liu Fan can almost imagine that every corner of the Imperial Capital is secretly covered with the sound and shadow of the other party's soldiers, thinking of the current situation, Liu Fan's body is immediately full of goosebumps, these are all soldiers with strong combat effectiveness, not locusts.
"Boy, the strength in your hands seems to be very strong, and the Dragoon Army and the Jin Wuwei are under your control, but how many people can the combat strength of the Jin Wuwei and the Dragoon Army resist the attack? Obviously, there are quite a few of them, but how many people have come to the rivers and lakes from all directions in the past few days? Have you considered all these questions clearly? How many people can you mobilize?" Shi Ling seemed to think that Liu Fan's current difficulties were not enough, and he was still there to tell Liu Fan about his current difficulties, which instantly made Liu Fan's heart feel like a big mountain, this is indeed the case, and there are indeed not many troops that he can recruit.
Liu Fan gritted his teeth with a solemn face, and wanted to give up the imperial capital, but the huge benefits in the imperial capital were about to be in his hands, and it was a pity to give up at this time. But if he doesn't give up, Liu Fan can only recruit the manpower that can be transferred over at present, only in Yangzhou, where Jin Lingwei and the Dark Night Quicksand Dirty Guard, but if the Dirty Guard and Jin Lingwei are all recruited, Yangzhou will be empty, and if someone raids Liu Fan's rear at this time, it will really be a heavy loss.
"Chase your life, take this token. You go to the palace in person. Find Zhao Gao and let him send the information to Yangzhou as quickly as possible. Jin Lingwei all rushed to the imperial capital to support, and the dirty guards from all over the country immediately launched actions to protect Yangzhou. Liu Fan said to the chase with a solemn face, now Liu Fan can only try to recruit helpers, even if Zuihou can't keep this imperial capital, he must take Emperor Xian out. Although Liu Fan knew that it was better to break through with people than to stay in the imperial capital now, but if he didn't defend the imperial capital. I'm afraid they won't even be able to get out of the Tiger Prison Pass with Emperor Xian, and the armies of the Eight Great Emperor Merchants are not there for decoration.
"Boy, no matter how much help you recruit, you won't be able to hold this imperial capital. Shi Ling said loudly to Liu Fan, his tone full of threat.
"If you can't keep it, you have to keep it, this is the place where my ancestors live, I will never let my ancestors be harassed by these villains, they dare to kill when they come, I will kill one by one, and I will kill one by one!" Liu Fan said to Shi Ling with a solemn face. Anyway, now that the imperial capital has been occupied, if you retreat at this time, it will chill your soldiers. Fortunately, the city of the imperial capital is the strongest city wall in the entire Heavenly Dragon Empire, and the equipment is sufficient, it is impossible for these people to break through the gate of the imperial capital without paying a heavy price.
Liu Fan has already made up his mind, no matter what the situation is, he will never give up the imperial capital unless he has to. When the time comes, take the army to Tongguan and go straight to the land of Yongzhou, Yongzhou has Yue Fei in charge, and things will not be bad with Yue Fei. Besides, he is carrying all the fierce generals who can fight well, and if he has no scruples in the land of Yongzhou, he can exert more powerful strength. It's just that the political significance of the imperial capital is too important, and Liu Fan really doesn't want to give up, not only because this is a symbol of imperial power, but also because this is the burial place of the ancestors of the nobles of the world.
"Well, boy, you are determined, you are a person who does great things, I appreciate that. Shi Ling nodded to Liu Fan with a solemn face and said: "I came to you this time because of my daughter's entrustment, she asked me to come to you after knowing your current predicament, and wanted you to leave the imperial capital, but now depending on the situation, it seems that you don't plan to leave the imperial capital." But I've already thought of a solution, and although you can't say that all of your current predicament can be solved, it can still be alleviated. ”
"Oh, that junior is here to thank Miss Shi for your concern. Liu Fan arched his hand at Shiling and said: "It's just that there is still a feud between me and my predecessors, the so-called Tao is not the same, even if I die in the next battle in the imperial capital, I will definitely not betray the interests of the empire and the family." ”
"Haha, you kid thinks a lot. Shi Ling listened to Liu Fan's words and became hahadaxiao, Shi Ling pointed at Liu Fan with a smile and said: "How can I take that bit of bullshit interests of the empire and that little bit of interests of your family in my eyes? She grew up in the palm of my hand, and I can pick up even the stars in the sky for her as long as she needs everything she likes. ”
Shi Ling's words shocked Liu Fan's heart, he knew that a person with Shi Ling's identity would never say such a thing about losing his identity. Since Shi Ling dares to say this kind of picking stars for Shi Julan, then he will definitely be able to do it, and the person who can do this kind of thing is only one step away from becoming an immortal, it can be said that he can become an immortal whenever he wants, and the Great Dragon Continent has been documented for these years, and no one has become an immortal for thousands of years.
"I came this time to let you be my son-in-law, I have only this baby daughter in my life, you should also understand what I mean by my words, the only thing I can't let go of now is her, since she has taken a fancy to you, I will naturally let her get you." Shi Ling said to Liu Fan sharply: "Don't say that you won't agree to such a marriage, because whether you agree to this matter or not, but with you, it's whether I'm happy." ”
"After Lan Lan returned to the Hades Sect, she was soulless all day long, and later I learned that she was suffering from lovesickness. So I sent someone down the mountain to monitor your every move, but your performance this year has proved that you are a trustworthy person, and your performance today proves it. If you choose to leave the imperial capital with your people and Emperor Xian, I will immediately kill Yongjue Lan Lan's thoughts, and you really didn't disappoint me. ”
Shi Ling's words made Liu Fan break out in a cold sweat, he didn't expect that he had been following other people's spies all these years, and he still thought that he had done a good job of defending himself. Hearing Shi Ling's words, Liu Fan couldn't help but have a cold sweat on his forehead, he knew what Shi Ling meant, it was too easy for Shi Ling to destroy an empire. Although Liu Fan doesn't like to be persecuted, there are times when he has to choose to compromise, such as today.
"The so-called bullshit hatred, I don't look at it at all, but I'm also a Jianghu after all. Today, I made it very clear that if you don't agree to me, you will destroy the entire imperial capital, so that you will have nothing, and millions of people in the imperial capital will be buried for you. You promise, I will declare to the public that you are my son-in-law, and I will not stop those Jianghu people from seeking revenge against you, but some people don't dare to do anything to you, at least the old man for a day, they won't move a finger of you.
