Fan Chenglin rode a black horse, hated to fly to Jianzhou, fortunately Mopanzhuang is only one hundred and thirty miles away from Jianzhou County, Fan Chenglin quickly whipped his horse, left Mopanzhuang in the morning, and arrived at the south gate of Jianzhou City in the afternoon. He planned to settle down first, and then go to the county guard yamen to join the people of the Wei Wangfu.

As soon as he lived in the inn on his front feet, he heard a commotion on the street, saying that the four gates of Jianzhou City were closed, and thousands of people came to the east of the city.

Jianzhou City had just changed hands, and when the people were panicking, when they heard that there were soldiers violating the border, there was a big chaos, and every house was closed, and even most of the shops were closed. Fan Chenglin secretly called it a fluke, and he wouldn't be able to enter the city if he was an hour late. At the moment, I asked the shopkeeper where the county guard yamen was, and rode a black horse straight to the county guard's mansion.

Fan Chenglin was still one street away from the county guard's yamen, so he took the initiative to get off the horse and lead the horse on foot. I saw that the county guard yamen was heavily guarded, and more than a dozen soldiers were expressionless, standing on both sides of the yamen with waist knives on their shoulders, reflecting the majesty of the two big stone lions at the yamen.

Fan Chenglin led the horse, and before he reached the gate of the county guard office twenty steps, five patrolling soldiers immediately came over to block the way, and the patrolling soldiers were all holding red tasseled spears, and the colonel who took the lead in carrying a waist knife asked, "What are you doing?"

Fan Chenglin smiled all over his face, "Oh, Brother Bing, I am from Yuzhou Mansion in Southwest Province, my surname is Fan, and I am here to ask to see the official of Weiwang Mansion!"

When the little colonel heard Fan Chenglin say that he asked to see the official of Weiwangfu, he hesitated, looked Fan Chenglin up and down, and saw that this person wearing a long shirt and a square scarf should be a Confucian student, maybe it was a relative or friend of Weiwangfu, but it was not easy to offend. Look at the tall horse again, it must be the master of a rich family, forget it, let's report it obediently, don't look for trouble at this time. If in normal times, how can you pass it on without collecting some silver?

Therefore, the little colonel said: "In this case, please wait outside the door, you can go in and pass it on, but I don't know who you want to meet, so I don't guarantee that people can see you!"

Fan Chenglin hesitated, he didn't know who Tang Jiusheng was around, and he didn't know who was the biggest official among the officials who came to Jianzhou in the Wei Wangfu this time. Fan Chenglin thought for a while and asked, "Brother Bing, I don't know which official is the biggest official in the Weiwang Mansion this time, I'll see the biggest official!"

Xiao Xiao rolled his eyes, and said in his heart that this person is really a toad yawning, what a big breath! I also want to see the biggest official from the Wei Palace, and the people who come out of the palace are not just anyone who can see them, it seems that this person is not a relative or friend of the officials of the palace, since this is the case, then there is no need to be afraid.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xiaoxiao's face sank, "You are very interesting! Since you want to be passed on, you must report your name, otherwise who will you report it to?"

It was also for the sake of this person leading a tall horse, wearing a long shirt and a square scarf, that this little school did not scold. When Fan Chenglin saw him say this, there was nothing wrong with it, and he didn't say who he wanted to see when he asked someone to report, it was a bit of a strong man

It's difficult, Fan Chenglin hesitated for a moment, and said boldly: "I actually want to ask to see King Wei, but King Wei is not here, so I can only see the biggest official from King Wei's mansion!"

The little colonel was very impatient, "Are the officials of the Wei Wang's Mansion also someone who can see them whenever they want? Xiucai, if you continue to mess around here, be careful of being beaten out with a stick! Hurry up!" he said, pushing Fan Chenglin with his hand.

Fan Chenglin was helpless, and fled from the southwest road to the south of Jiannan Province thousands of miles away, wasn't it just to see Tang Jiusheng, the king of Wei? Finally, he had the opportunity to meet his subordinates, how could he leave? Fan Chenglin was anxious, and shouted outside the gate of the county guard's yamen, "I ask to see Wei Wang Chitose! I ask to see Wei Wang Chitose!"

The little colonel was also startled when he saw him making trouble like this, for fear that he would hurt himself and be beaten on the board, so he had to say, "Then you wait here! Don't make any more trouble, I'll go in and try to pass it on to you!"

The little school hurriedly went to the county guard mansion gatehouse to say hello, just about to enter the courtyard, just happened, a young fat man came out of the county guard yamen, and the little school who had just turned around collided with him, the little school was knocked down, looked up at the person in front of him, frightened and quickly pressed the handle of the knife with his left hand, and knelt down on one knee with his right leg to salute, "The little one is see Captain Jiang!"

It turned out that the person who came out was the fat man Jiang, the fat man cleared his throat, bent down and patted the little colonel's shoulder, "Get up! What's the matter, are you so panicked?"

Xiao Xiao stood up and said with a smile on his face: "Captain Jiang, it's like this, there is a scholar outside the gate, he said that he asked to see the biggest official from Wei Wang's Mansion, I asked him who he wanted to meet, and he couldn't say, I thought he was messing around, and just wanted to drive him away, but he said that what he wanted to see was actually Wei Wang, but Wei Wang was not there, so he had to ask to see the biggest official from Wei Wang's Mansion! Xiao didn't want to pass it on, but he was afraid that he had something important, so he delayed it......

The fat man glared and patted his chest, "Am I not the official from the Weiwang Mansion, bring him to see me!" The little colonel hurriedly agreed, turned around and ran out of the yamen of the county guard's mansion, led Fan Chenglin in, and the porter led the black horse to the stable behind the gatehouse.

When Fan Chenglin saw the fat man, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, such a young fat man, can he be a big official from the Wei Wangfu? But there is no way, as long as it is from the Wei Wangfu, even if it is a dog, it is also a third-level guard in this county! Fan Chenglin arched his hand and said: "Fan Chenglin, in the Yuzhou Mansion of the Lower Southwest Road, has seen the official from the Wei Wangfu!"

The fat man looked at Fan Chenglin, and said in surprise: "What? You are from Yuzhou Mansion in Southwest Province? Isn't that the territory of Pingxi King Yinquan? So, you and Pingxi King Yinquan are fellow countrymen?"

Fan Chenglin shook his head and said with an indignant face: "I am not a fellow countryman and the king of Pingxi, but an enemy! The king of Pingxi killed my whole family and sold my sister to the Qinglou, and I don't share the sky with him!"

The fat man suddenly remembered, clapped his hands and smiled: "Oh, I remember, your name is Fan Chenglin, your father is the county order, let Yin Quan cut it, call Fan He Yu, right? A few days ago, I heard Lao Tang talk to me about this! Okay, I know, you come with me, I'll take you to see Lao Tang, ah, no, see King Wei." ”

When Fan Chenglin heard this, he was really surprised and delighted, it turned out that King Wei was also there? That was really good! The fat man pulled Fan Chenglin and went all the way to the back house. Tang Jiusheng was in the study

Talking to Xiahou Lingyu, Shui Rulong, Yulong Xingkong and others, I only heard the fat man outside shouting and pulling a scholar in, "Old Tang, Old Tang, your old lover is here!" As he spoke, he dragged Fan Chenglin in front of Tang Jiusheng.

Everyone was surprised, Fan Chenglin saw Tang Jiusheng, first stunned, and then a little wanted to laugh, it turned out that the famous King Wei was a young and handsome child, and he couldn't believe it in his heart, so he bowed slightly, arched his hand and asked cautiously: "Excuse me, are you King Wei Chitose?"

Tang Jiusheng looked up and down at this elegant scholar, in his twenties, looking at the indescribable chic and graceful, there was a faint sense of admiration in his heart, so he smiled and quipped: "It is Tang Jiusheng below, Tong Suo is not bullied, if it is fake!

Fan Chenglin heard that the other party was Tang Jiusheng, and now he could see his relatives, so he knelt on the ground with a puff, and shook his head, "Lord Wang, below is Fan Chenglin, the son of Fan Dongyu, the former Tongcheng Governor of Yuzhou Prefecture, Southwest Province, my whole family was victimized by King Yin Quan of Pingxi, please make the decision for me!"

When Tang Jiusheng heard that Fan Chenglin was coming, he was overjoyed, and quickly bent down and pulled Fan Chenglin up, "Brother Fan, don't be polite, please get up!" I have long heard that Lingzun is a rare Qing official, and Brother Fan is also a handsome man of the younger generation, and he has the heart to get acquainted with Brother Tai, but unfortunately he has never had the opportunity to meet. On the way to travel, I heard that your family was killed by Yin Quan, the king of Pingxi, and when my father and son wanted to go to the rescue, it was too late, ashamed!"

Fan Chenglin was pulled up by Tang Jiusheng, still wiping his tears, and only after a while did he swallow more: "I'm ashamed, I studied in Hengjiang County, I didn't know that there had been a tragedy at home, or my father's friend risked death to come to inform me, so I escaped with my life alone, and I went all the way to Jiannan Road." Last winter, he was captured by thieves in Biji Village and forced to fall into the grass, so he could only persuade those people to kill less and do less evil. Later, I heard that you sealed the king of Wei and controlled Jiannan, I had the heart to vote, but I was prevented, and persuaded the lord of Dazhai to surrender many times, but he not only did not surrender, but also dared to call the emperor ......"

After listening to Fan Chenglin's story of those tragic pasts, Tang Jiusheng nodded and said: "Don't worry, after the matter here in Jianzhou is dealt with, I will lead people to kill Biji Village to avenge you! ”

Fan Chenglin said: "Lord, there is no urgency for personal enmity, but we must solve the urgent need of Jianzhou first! In a few days, I will also ask the prince to send someone to the Chunyi Building of Yuzhou Mansion to rescue my poor sister!"

Tang Jiusheng said with a smile: "Ling Mei has already been rescued, my father heard that your family was in trouble, Ling Mei was sold to the Qinglou, and you didn't know where to go, so he sent someone to Yuzhou City Chunyi Building to redeem Ling Mei, and took her to the Jiangnan Provincial National Teacher's Mansion for proper placement." If you want to see Sister Ling, when the war is over in a few days, I will send someone to pick her up from Jiangnan Province and reunite your brother and sister!"

Fan Chenglin was really surprised, and he was about to kneel down again, Tang Jiusheng hurriedly held him up, and said with a smile: "Brother Fan, since you are here this time, it is better to stay by my side, there is a shortage of strategists around me." I heard that you studied under Mr. He Daojun, and you must have also learned some statecraft and the art of war, which is just where heroes can be useful!"

Fan Chenglin was very excited, and arched his hand: "Favored by the prince, Fan Chenglin dares to disobey?"
