Just when this shocking news spread all over Zhongzhou and Kyushu in the world, another news that made the world sigh spread, and the West Pole Empire announced the unification of the Western Regions!

Many people of the older generation feel that the world is about to change, and they are nagging that the more than 100 years of peace in the world are about to be gone. The old people sighed, but the young people were more excited, and many young and frivolous Jianghu Junhiko secretly thought that this kind of troubled times was a good opportunity for them to rise to the top. As the saying goes, "heroes come out of troubled times", and some confident and even conceited young people can't help but look up to the sky and howl and express their chests.

Now only the Eastern Regions remain, and the eyes of the world's Kyushu are focused on the Eastern Regions. Once the Eastern Regions are unified, then this once-in-a-millennium world turmoil will be regarded as the real beginning.

Many disciples of believers in the three religions prayed for the reunification of the Eastern Regions later, so that the troubled times would come later and the dead would be later. There are also many ordinary people who like peace, every night before going to bed, lying in the bed, they have to scold the four empires, but they don't dare to be too loud, because at this time, the four places and eight states are full of the eyeliner of the four empires, to prevent the "incitement" of some lawbreakers, and suppress some bad remarks and momentum.

Eastern Regions, Tanhan Kingdom.

At this time, it is late autumn in the country of Tanyan, and the red leaves and yellow trees are floating everywhere, flying with the wind. The cool autumn mood invades people's skin and flesh, penetrates deep into the bone marrow, and makes people's hearts chill from time to time.

The Tanhan Kingdom is a powerful kingdom, an ancient dynasty that has been inherited for more than 3,000 years, and the only tough dynasty in the southern part of the Eastern Regions that dares to stare at the Eastern Pole Empire.

The favorable location at the southernmost tip of the Eastern Regions gave this powerful dynasty a lot of confidence. Of course, "very big" refers to the previous confidence.

Now, the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Eastern Pole Empire have advanced outside the gates of this great dynasty in the southernmost part of the Eastern Regions. Camped just north of the border, the Empire's elite army, ready to strike like a tiger pounces on a sheep. And the general of the tiger and wolf division is the general Fan who makes the entire Eastern Regions known and feared by everyone

At this time, Fan Wu has already achieved great achievements, and his reputation in the army is incomparable. And by the personal praise and encouragement of the poor old Confucian - that is, the emperor, and was also named the king with a different surname by the Son of Heaven of the East Pole Empire - King Fan, and was given a domain with a radius of nine thousand miles, which is unprecedented in the history of the East Pole Empire, the highest specification before, even if it is those generals with high achievements in various eras in the empire, the highest reward is to seal a two-character king, and then seal a domain within a radius of three thousand miles. Fan Wu was also awarded the supreme and unique title of "Great Pillar Country" among military generals, and his official title was the first among military generals. His father, the squire of the military department, because of this proud son, was also promoted to the secretary of the military department by the emperor of the empire, and was awarded the title of "university scholar" and the first-class merit of loyalty and courage - Fan Guogong!

In addition, those clansmen of the Fan family, such as Fan Wu's uncles and uncles, also received different degrees of rewards because of this young junior.

Since then, the Fan family has become one of the top families in the Eastern Arctic Empire, and only a few big families with the same surname and profound heritage can compare with it.

Fan Wu's father's name is Fan Saburo, because he is the third in line, so he took this name. He was born as a civilian, and his family was poor since he was a child, but because he was young and worked in poetry, good at writing, and was ranked as a tanhua when he participated in the imperial examination, he was able to enter the court as an official. So his high-speed promotion in the past two years has made him raise his eyebrows and sweep away the depression in his chest for half his life.

On this day, after the morning dynasty was over, a cadre of civil and military officials bowed to the emperor of the empire, and then they came out of the high and cold hall.

Fan Sanlang received a cordial greeting from His Majesty the Emperor in front of all the hundred officials today, "Fan Aiqing, did the military department encounter any tricky things today?"

This kind of personal inquiry, among the six departments, only Fan Sanlang, who has just been promoted to the secretary of the military department, has this honor. Of course, Fan Sanlang didn't really say yes, and still replied respectfully as usual: "Back to Your Majesty, there is no tricky matter, and everything is handled properly." ”

After dispersing, as soon as he took a few steps out of the main hall, a court boss wearing a purple unicorn official robe and a red eight-clawed python robe came over and greeted Fan Sanlang. Among these people, there are the Shangshu of the other five ministries, the powerful Zaifu, a proud prince, and some elders of the two or even three dynasties of the imperial court.

These people are all clapping their hands and stomping their feet, and the entire empire is raining and snowing, and they are also the court bigwigs that Fan Saburo has always wanted to befriend before, but now they all greet him with a friendly smile, and even a few people have drunk with him many times and have taken the initiative to make friends with him.

After Fan Saburo greeted the friends he had just met, he hummed a little song softly and walked leisurely outside the palace. In the past, whenever I had the opportunity to talk to those court bigwigs, I was two or three steps behind before I could raise my head slightly to speak, and I lacked confidence. And now, he was completely relieved to walk side by side with those who had looked up to him before.

At this time, there was a slight acceleration of footsteps from behind, obviously chasing him.

Fan Saburo didn't turn his head, stopped humming, and frowned slightly. He thought it was those "juniors of the court" who wanted to get to know him. Since he was promoted rapidly, there have been some younger officials who have just entered the imperial court looking for opportunities to approach him, and then scold him, he was still very generous and chic to help others at the beginning, many people were helped by him, so they sent silver, wine and antique playthings, he also enjoyed the admiration and praise of others, but now he is a little bored, because he feels that his current status, how can he accept gifts from others casually? Feel free to open his mouth to help others? Of course, he will not think like this: he is a person with a big status and status! After all, Fan Saburo used to be a squire in the military department, and he was barely ranked in the upper echelons of the imperial court, so now he has not once he gained power, so he turned his face and did not recognize people, and some stupid actions that were presumptuous and frivolous.

But when the man behind him walked quickly to his side, shoulder to shoulder with him, he tilted his head slightly, glanced at it, his body was stunned, and then quickly slowed down, slightly behind the man by a step or two.

That person turned out to be the national teacher of the empire and the emperor of the Son of Heaven!

"Master Guoshi, what is the matter with you?" Fan Saburo saluted respectfully, and then asked respectfully as he walked.

No matter how high his status and reputation are, he knows his own quality, and he knows that he has everything he has earned by relying on his son to fight on the front line. And his son, who can have today's status and strength, half of the credit is due to this national teacher. If it weren't for the fact that this emperor and national teacher praised his son who didn't know much about political intrigue in the court, his own son might not have been able to go this far, and he would have even been designed to slander him as having the intention of rebelling! In that case, their entire family would have been beheaded all over the house. He has been in the imperial court for half his life, and he deeply understands how cruel those invisible struggles and unprovoked sacrifices of interests are in the imperial Jinluan Palace, which everyone in the world longs forward to.

And not only was he in awe of this emperor, not that he helped him and respected him, but that he found that he couldn't see through this emperor, and this emperor seemed to know everything well, and he knew everything clearly, and he saw it very thoroughly, which made him have to be in awe from the bottom of his heart.

He was a little uneasy at this time. He knew that although this emperor agreed with his son, that is, the general Fan Wu, to help the empire unify the Eastern Regions, he was not very in favor of letting the Eastern Pole Empire use the power of the whole country to attack Zhongzhou. So Fan Saburo thought that this emperor and national teacher were going to tell him about this, so he was uneasy in his heart.

"Don't worry, I won't stop General Fan from going to Zhongzhou, this is the general trend of the world, and no one can stop it. Of course, I won't help him anymore. And then I will send you a sentence: be cautious, cultivate and think forever, full of losses, and humble benefits. ”

The emperor, who was still dressed in poor sour clothes, said with a smile, then stroked his beard with one hand and behind his back with the other, and left indifferently, leaving only Fan Sanlang with an elegant and thin old scholar's back.

Although the old man did not have any momentum to oppress him, although the old man only said this short sentence, although the old man did not have any malicious intentions. But at this time, although Fan Saburo's face was calm, his back was full of cold sweat.

His lips moved slightly, and he wanted to say something to the old man's back, but in the end he didn't say anything, just took a deep breath and put away the arrogant look in the depths of his eyelids that had only been born in the past two years. Finally, he turned to the old man's distant back and saluted with his fists.

The national teacher and the emperor are still the teachers.
