Chapter 140: Meritorious Service and Career

After resting for two hours in Wulan Town, west of Ziyang City, Feng Yuan's army continued to march towards Ziyang City.

Fan Liye sat in the carriage, his face a little gloomy.

There was such a big thing in the palace, and he Fan Liye didn't even send someone to inform him, is there still a big brother like him in his eyes?

Or does he Fan Liye have any ideas?

He also learned the news not long ago.

As the prince of the king, he is still the son of the great prince, and he still has people under Fan Jiangong.

The secret letter has only eight words, the king of Shu was assassinated, and his life and death are uncertain.

Fan Jiangong originally planned to stay in Wulan Town for a while.

When leaving Jinliangcheng, Ma Yichao was very understanding and sent a maid to him.

This woman's name is Shui Zhuer, and she is twenty-eight years old.

It looks like a small radish that has just been pulled out of the ground, and it is cute red and tender to water.

Fan Jiangong knew that Ma Yichao's move was to show favor to himself, after all, he was frightened on the city gate, but he was seen by many people.

He didn't think about wearing small shoes for Ma Yichao, how could a person as generous as him be so small-bellied?

Anyway, when he becomes the king of Shu, the general near Liangcheng may not be able to point out who it is.

He Ma Yichao has no chance to sit in the position of commander of soldiers and horses, and he has no chance to be a deputy.

But now ......

After knowing the news, Fan Jiangong wanted to go to Feng Yuan for the first time, but he couldn't help it.

He didn't believe that Feng Yuan would not know about this.

Since Feng Yuan didn't come to him, why did he rush to ask?

Maybe Feng Yuan knows it!

At least, in his Feng Yuan's heart, this may be good news.

Fan Jiangong didn't even think about who sent someone to assassinate his father, the king of Bazhou.

Now in his mind, he didn't have much to think about it.

Sitting quietly in the carriage, he figured out why Feng Yuan didn't come to him.

Because of those four words.

Life and death are uncertain.

If these four words can be used in the news, it means that the king of Shu has not appeared again after the assassination, and there must be some abnormal behavior in the palace.

Fan Jiangong clenched his fists, and even thought of the worst possibility.

He was worried, worried that only his good brother would be by his father's side until he died.

There is also Wei Tiangang in Ziyang City, the first soldier and horse in Bazhou.

It's not going to be messy.

But this throne is really hard to say!

Fan Jiangong misses his mother a little.

Since he was a child, he has been very close to his mother, especially close, and his father seems to prefer the second brother.

When he was very young, his mother told him that there was no need to worry about the throne in the future, because he was the eldest son and was destined to become the king of Bazhou.

Later, his mother gave birth to a second brother.

The mother concubine said the same thing to him, but added another sentence at the end, this little second is a little redundant, it would be good if it was a county lord.

Since he had this younger brother, Fan Jiangong has pitied him a little.

Who made him the second one?

It's just that this little second is a little stubborn, a dignified prince of the palace, dancing with knives and sticks all day long, and he doesn't know how many books to read.

He thought about it, and after he ascended the throne in the future, he would give Fan Jiangong a fief in Yunshang City or near Liangcheng, so that he would not worry about food or drink in this life.

He, who is an elder brother, has never guarded against this younger brother from below.

There's nothing to guard against.

Until he was ordered by the King of Shu to move out of the palace.

Then he married Wei Shuai's granddaughter.

Wei Shuai's granddaughter is named Wei Qingqing, who is two years younger than him.

Wei Qingqing is not ugly, but he is not a beautiful embryo, if it weren't for Princess Shu's best efforts to match this matter, he Fan Jiangong would not want to marry this woman in his heart.

He understood what the concubine meant.

The concubine wanted him to use Wei Shuai's relationship to establish his prestige in the army.

On the day of the wedding, it was his nightmare for Fan Jiangong.

For the first time in his life, he didn't lift it, and it actually appeared when he spent candles in his cave room.

It's really not that he Fan Jiangong has a hidden illness, but he was frightened by Wei Qingqing.

I don't know where Wei Qingqing found out about his affair, but when he uncovered the red hijab, a dagger went straight to three inches below his lower abdomen.

He didn't even have the courage to scream.

That night, he lived in extreme humiliation.

He didn't even say anything about his dearest and most trusted mother.

Since then, Fan Jiangong has not squinted at the girls in his house.

Anyway, there are few girls in the house that he can look at.

Later, Fan Jiangong was pleasantly surprised to find that Wei Qingqing was also very good-looking, although it was not stunning at first sight, but it was very attractive.

He had already planned it, and when he arrived in Ziyang City, this water bead would be given to Feng Yuan.

So along the way, he hurried the time.

Lifting the thick car curtains, Fan Jiangong glanced out, and then put it down casually.

Feng Yuan doesn't like to ride in a car, and he rides on horseback all the way.

In the wide carriage, there were only him and Shui Zhu'er, the little girl.

Shui Zhu'er knew who this person was in front of her, so she didn't dare to say anything.

Before Ma Yichao gave Shui Zhu'er to Fan Jiangong, he specially invited a girl named Li'er from the prostitution hall in the city to teach her in the house.

This girl often competes with Ma Yichao in horse skills, and the loser is often this big man who covers the sky with one hand in Liangcheng.

The defeated Ma Yichao was not annoyed, just grinned, flipped his palms, and competed with him again.

Li'er told Shui Zhu'er that you are still a big girl with yellow flowers, you must be shy and a little scared.

Men like this, only in this way can they satisfy their inner possessiveness.

Actually, I don't need that sister to say.

Shui Zhu'er is not a water bead, Li'er also discovered the secret of this little girl, even when one of her daughters' family touched Shui Zhu'er's thin waist, Shui Zhu'er would be red-faced.

Li'er, who was a person who came over, didn't teach Shui Zhu'er anything, and in her opinion, Shui Zhu'er, who didn't know anything, was more pitiful than Shui Zhu'er, who knew everything.

When Shui Zhu'er saw Fan Jiangong for the first time, her face turned red.

She couldn't help but think of what Sister Li'er had said.

His Royal Highness, the prince, is worthy of being a dragon and phoenix among people, and he is really good-looking.

Seeing Shui Zhu'er blushing for the first time, Fan Jiangong immediately fell in love with this girl whose face was always flushed.

If you want to say that this water bead may not look better than the one in his family, it is not as good as the envoy girl next to Princess Shu, but he Fan Jiangong thinks that this water bead is good-looking.

It's so good-looking that it tickles his heart.

On the night when the water beads bloomed, Fan Jiangong was extremely satisfied.

Shui Zhu'er's eyes begging for mercy made him see his long-lost domineering posture.

And with Wei Qingqing, no matter how hard he tried, all he got in exchange was Wei Qingqing's complaining eyes.

Wei Qingqing had already begun to secretly make medicinal wine for him.

Even he began to wonder if it was because he had been too indulgent before.

It was Shui Zhu'er who made him regain his self-confidence.

Fan Jiangong thinks that Ma Yichao is very good at doing things, and when he calculates his age, he Ma Yichao is now in the prime of life, and this person can still be wooed.

Fan Jiangong felt that after returning to Ziyang City, he could give him a few kind words in front of his father.

According to Feng Yuan, at Wei Tiangang's age, he won't be able to sit in the handsome position for a few years.

Feng Yuan even told Fan Jiangong that maybe their ambitions in Bazhou could be greater, and at that time, you Fan Jiangong may not be His Royal Highness.

Fan Jiangong understood the meaning of Feng Yuan's words.

He is a big prince, so he naturally knows more.

His father once asked him and his younger brother Fan Liye what is the difference between governing a state and governing a country?

He replied that there was no difference, that they were all just governing people.

At that time, Fan Liye's answer was different from his.

What Fan Liye said is that it has to be beaten down first.

That time, the king of Shu patted the shoulders of his two sons at the same time and laughed heartily.

Feng Yuan also said to Fan Liye that Wei Shuai was against the use of soldiers.

This is the most fundamental reason why he, Feng Yuan, found him Fan Jiangong.

Wei Tiangang is old.

This man is old, and he wants to be stable.

Even if Fan Jiangong married Wei Tiangang's granddaughter, Feng Yuan's words were still so blunt.

After returning from this great victory, Fan Jiangong was ready to take the initiative to ask the king of Shu to conquer Jingzhou in the east.

But right now, something so big has happened.

Fan Jiangong's face was a little distorted, and his fingers unconsciously used a little more strength, and the water beads that had been pulled into his arms were painful, and he groaned softly.

Looking down at the round water droplets all over his body, Fan Jiangong smiled evilly, and the anger in his heart was nowhere to be sprinkled.

His hands roamed wildly over Shui Zhu'er's body, and Shui Zhu'er began to hum quietly.

Fan Jiangong pinched the cherry of the water bead and said, "My good water bead, come on, come and bite me!"

Shui Zhu'er understands the meaning of biting, Sister Li'er said that this Highness has also taught her.

It's just that she's a little stupid, and she always doesn't serve very well, and after His Highness hurts a few times, she doesn't dare.

Fan Jiangong has already started to undress.

The carriage was a little bumpy, and Shui Zhu'er was careless, so painful that Fan Jiangong grinned his teeth, so angry that he kicked Shui Zhu'er aside, lifted his pants and scolded: "Useless things, clumsy." ”

Ignoring the evil, Shui Zhu'er lay on the ground, kowtowed again and again, and cried in a low voice: "It's Zhu'er who is stupid, Zhu'er is as stupid as a pig, Your Highness, don't be angry, next time Zhu'er is careful." ”

Seeing the appearance of water beads and pear blossoms with rain, Fan Jiangong felt pity again, and when he thought that he would arrive in Ziyang City soon, he was reluctant to give up in his heart, and sighed and said: "Good Zhu'er, don't cry, it's none of your business, it's because this son is depressed in his heart that he is so angry." ”

Shui Zhu'er crawled over, the clothes on her body were loose, and as soon as she climbed like this, Fan Jiangong just saw two dangling balls, which were indeed bigger than Wei Qingqing.

Fan Liye only felt that a burst of qi and blood surged in the dantian, and after pulling the water beads, he was about to fight in this carriage.

At this time, someone outside the carriage reported: "Your Highness, we will arrive in front of the city gate in a few miles, but we need to send someone to spread the word?"

Fan Liye forcibly suppressed the fire surging in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "No need, tell Vice Marshal Feng, after the army is stationed, let's go directly to the city." ”

A little reluctant to put on Shui Zhu'er in his arms, Fan Jiangong thought for a while and said to Shui Zhu'er, who was slowly putting on his clothes: "Zhu'er, you also know the identity of the son of this world, and taking you into the city like this will damage the face of the Wang family, so after entering the city, you will first obey Vice Marshal Feng's arrangement." ”

Seeing Shui Zhu'er with tears in his eyes, he said again: "Good Zhu'er, don't worry, this son is not the person who is unlucky, and after I settle everything properly, I will naturally take you to my side." ”

Shui Zhu'er nodded and said softly: "Zhu'er understands that His Royal Highness is noble, and Zhu'er is just a daughter, how can she give birth to a delusional heart, I just hope that Your Highness can remember Zhu'er's good." ”

Fan Jiangong hugged Shui Zhu'er fiercely, grabbed a handful of the trembling mountain peak with his big hand, kissed the seductive red lips again, and whispered: "Don't worry, as long as you have this son in your heart, this son will definitely find a way to get you to your side." ”

Shui Zhu'er's face turned crimson, and she let out a light "um".

Everyone has a book of suffering, and they can't say it clearly.

Coincidentally, as soon as she was sold into a prostitution house, she was bumped into by Ma Yichao.

And Ma Yichao, who wanted to please Fan Jiangong, the great prince, had an idea, and she escaped from the fire pit.

Shui Zhu'er really didn't dare to think about it, but after all, she was the one who served His Highness, and it was definitely better than selling meat in a prostitution house to make a living.

In case these days, she is lucky enough to conceive a child again.

After tidying up the inside of the carriage, Shui Zhu'er saluted Fan Jiangong, pushed open the carriage door, and sat outside the carriage with the coachman.

The old coachman, as if he had not seen anything, continued to raise his whip.

Feng Yuan, who was walking in front, glanced back, and saw Shui Zhu'er sitting outside the carriage, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

is worthy of being a man of the Wang family, and his ambition and lust are not small.

As for Ma Yichao's thoughts, Feng Yuan was clear in his heart, and Fan Jiangong's preference for women was revealed to Ma Yichao.

Otherwise, with his Ma Yichao's ability, he would not be able to find out such a secret thing.

Feng Yuan already knew that the King of Shu in the palace was very likely to have returned to heaven, after all, the person who made the move was the deputy head of their Qingyun Sect.

The plan to assassinate the King of Shu was known to him, Feng Yuan.

He admires his uncle very much.

As for the waste man in the carriage behind, it was just another pawn in their plan.

A very important chess piece.

Everything went smoothly.

When Jia Nanfeng found Feng Yuan, Feng Yuan almost thought that he Jia Nanfeng was crazy, but later, he chose to believe Jia Nanfeng, because there was a temptation that he couldn't refuse.

The most crucial step in this plan is how to escape after the assassination of the King of Shu.

Feng Yuan didn't know what kind of means Uncle Shi used, at least in the secret letter, there was no mention that the assassin was Jia Nanfeng.

There were still two miles away from the gate of Ziyang City, and Feng Yuan ordered the army to stop advancing.

He looked at the city gate from afar, and seemed to see his uncle Jia Nanfeng and His Second Highness at the city gate, and it seemed that they were there to greet him.

The one who can greet His Royal Highness will naturally not be him, the deputy marshal of soldiers and horses, but the one in the carriage behind.

Ordering the deputy general to take the army to the camp outside the city to station, Feng Yuan turned over and dismounted, and walked forward with only a dozen personal guards.

Fan Jiangong lifted the curtain and glanced out.

Someone whispered outside: "Your Highness, it seems that the Second Highness is greeting you at the gate of the city." ”

Hearing Fan Liye greet him at the door, Fan Jiangong was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Is there anyone else to accompany you?"

Fan Liye was able to come to greet him, which Fan Jiangong did not expect.

The carriage replied: "If you go back to Your Highness, it seems that only Mr. Jia in the palace is accompanied." ”

With Jia Nanfeng?

Fan Jiangong muttered in his heart.

Jia Nanfeng is a master, why did the second child bring him along? He can't do anything to his eldest brother in front of everyone.

If it was before, Fan Jiangong would have panicked at this time, but right now, he still has Feng Yuan by his side.

chuckled, he felt that Fan Liye must not have thought of this.

Seeing the return of the army from a distance, Fan Liye and Jia Nanfeng stood up, and gradually approached Feng Yuan and the carriage behind him, and stepped forward.

Feng Yuan took a tiger step, strode forward, arched his hand at Fan Liye and said, "I've seen His Royal Highness." ”

Fan Liye nodded and said: "The deputy marshal returned with a big victory, congratulations, this journey has been hard." ”

Feng Yuan nodded to Jia Nanfeng first and called "Uncle Shi".

Jia Nanfeng smiled and nodded in return.

At this time, Fan Jiangong's carriage also stopped, and Shui Zhu'er opened the door and stood on the side of the carriage waiting.

Fan Jiangong walked out of the carriage, held Shui Zhu'er's arm, got out of the carriage, and pinched his hand lightly without leaving a trace.

This time, the water beads rippled.

This highness is really reluctant to give up on himself.

Seeing Fan Jiangong get out of the carriage, Fan Liye hurriedly stepped forward, did not salute, but stood directly in front of Fan Jiangong, his eyes were red, he hugged him, and cried bitterly.

While crying, he said: "Big brother, you're back, father, he's dead!"

Fan Jiangong's body shook for a moment, although he guessed that there might be such a result, but after hearing the news from his younger brother's mouth, Fan Jiangong's nose was also pantothenic.

He pushed away Fan Liye, who was hugging him, and held his shoulders tightly, almost roaring angrily: "Xiao Er, what are you talking about? When I went to Liangcheng, my father was fine, with his old man's body and bones, he would definitely be able to live a hundred years and live forever, how could he suddenly die in the sky? What happened? Tell me quickly, why didn't you tell me earlier? What are you thinking?"

Jia Nanfeng sighed and said to Feng Yuan: "Deputy Marshal, there has been a sudden great change in the palace, and His Royal Highness is already exhausted, and he has not informed His Highness in advance, which is really a helpless move, and now His Royal Highness needs to return to the palace as soon as possible, officially inherit the throne, and preside over the overall situation." ”

Looking at Fan Liye, who was crying bitterly, Jia Nanfeng continued: "As for the specific reason, it is very important, and it is inconvenient to go into detail here. ”

Fan Liye touched his tears, his face was full of guilt, and he said while crying: "Big brother, it's me who is not good, I didn't protect my father well, you punish me!"

Fan Jiangong said fiercely: "Xiao Er, who did it? You caught the assassins, why did they do this?"

Fan Liye shook his head and said, "Big brother, this matter is too complicated, you better return to the palace as soon as possible, and I will tell you about this matter in detail on the way." ”

Fan Jiangong nodded and said, "It's okay, then get in the carriage quickly, let's enter the city quickly, and you will talk to me about this matter in the carriage." ”

Fan Liye looked back at Feng Yuan and Jia Nanfeng and said, "Let's ask Mr. Jia and Vice Marshal Feng to get in the car together, big brother, this matter is not so simple." ”

Fan Jiangong frowned, glanced at Jia Nanfeng and Feng Yuan, nodded and said, "It's okay!"

After speaking, he ordered Shui Zhu'er to invite Jia Nanfeng and Feng Yuan.

Fan Liye glanced at Shui Zhu'er, his eyes shrinking.

He's the eldest brother, and he's really a man.

Sighing, Fan Liye said: "Big brother, it's not that I didn't send someone to inform you, but because the assassin ran away, I was afraid that you would be in a hurry, so you took people back to the palace alone, and suffered another villain on the road, after all, after the death of your father, you are the new king of our Bazhou." ”

After Fan Jiangong listened, he asked in a deep voice, "Little Er, do you really think so?"

Fan Liye said unhappily: "Big brother, what do you mean by this? Do you think that my eldest brother still thinks I have something in mind?"

Seeing Feng Yuan and Jia Nanfeng coming over, Fan Jiangong patted Fan Liye on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, get in the car, and talk about it when we go back!"

The carriage entered the city gates.

Ning Kai, who was waiting inside the city gate, hurriedly led people to shout in unison: "Welcome His Highness back to the city!"

Inside the carriage, Fan Jiangong was listening intently to Jia Nanfeng about what happened that day, and suddenly heard this roar outside the carriage, which frightened him, lifted the curtain and looked outside the car, looked at Fan Liye and asked, "Xiao Er, this is what you arranged?"

Fan Liye was also puzzled, it was true that he brought the person, but he didn't let him shout like this.

This was arranged by Ning Kai on his own initiative.

Suddenly handing over half of the guards of the palace to him to lead, Ning Kai was extremely excited in his heart, and he was still here to greet the new king, he wanted to behave well.

He even wanted the crowd to shout, "Welcome to the king."

Later, when he thought about it, it was a bit inappropriate, in case he disliked His Highness, this sycophant would be in the wrong place.

Fan Liye looked at Jia Nanfeng.

Seeing that his words were interrupted by a voice outside, Jia Nanfeng was also a little unhappy in his heart, he just said that he would go out of the city with Lu Yiping.

After thinking about it, he said to Fan Jiangong: "Your Highness, in order to protect Your Highness's safety, I discussed with Your Second Highness and ordered the junior apprentice Ning Kai to bring half of the palace guards to greet Your Highness. The apprentice has great respect for His Highness, and he must have led people to shout this. ”

Fan Jiangong nodded and said: "My father suddenly suffered this difficulty, I feel uncomfortable, such a pomp is a little out of place, I understand his heart." ”

Ning Kai, Fan Jiangong also knows.

This person patrolled the roof of the palace many times, leaving a deep impression on Fan Jiangong.

I didn't expect him to be such a person in the rivers and lakes.

After secretly writing down this person in his heart, Fan Jiangong looked at Fan Liye and asked, "Xiao Er, so many guards have been brought out, what should I do about the palace?"

Fan Liye said: "Big brother, there are also senior commanders who protect the palace, and by the way, Wei Shuai is also in the palace." In the past few days, Wei Shuai has helped me take care of everything, and I have not had to rest. After all, his old man is very old, so I asked Wei Shuai to take a nap, and I was in a hurry, so I brought someone to meet the eldest brother at the city gate. ”

Fan Jiangong nodded and said, "Since that's the case, let's talk about it after meeting Wei Shuai!"

Without waiting for Fan Liye to speak, Jia Nanfeng hurriedly said: "Your Highness, by all means. ”

Fan Jiangong was puzzled: "Mr. Jia, why not? Is there anything else that needs to be said behind Wei Shuai's back?"

Jia Nanfeng glanced at Feng Yuan and said to Fan Jiangong: "Your Highness, because it was Lu Yiping who conspired with Yuan Xi to murder the king!"

Fan Jiangong was stunned.

Then Feng Yuan asked, "Uncle Shi, even if Lu Yiping has a problem, what does it have to do with Wei Shuai?"

Jia Nanfeng did not speak.

At this time, Fan Jiangong said coldly: "I understand what Mr. Jia meant!"
