The night was dark, the waves crashed against the hull, and the cabin was a little quiet.

Yu Fan was confused in his heart, and he seemed to be on a battlefield again, and there were some shadows in it, but they strangely attracted his attention, and he rushed up, but he didn't recognize it.

At that moment, he wiped a cold sweat and said, "Who are you, why don't I know you, and have a familiar feeling?"

"We were originally your fate, but now we are going to end, the world is changing, you have to take care of it in the future" These shadows said, and gradually retreated.

Seeing them retreat, Yu Fan felt sad in his heart and called: "Come back, don't go"

In the blink of an eye, there was Ye Qing's face again, staring at Hehe and sneering.

"Childe, you're in a nightmare—wake up"

"Ah" Yu Fan suddenly woke up from the nightmare and sat up, drenched in cold sweat, opened his eyes and looked around, only to realize that it was Nan Ke's dream, remembering the dream, his heart suddenly jumped, looking at the person holding the lamp, and waved away the attendant, saying: "It's okay, you let me be quiet"

A person was stunned for a moment before he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Uncle is right...... This is my inner demon. ”

I have thought about reconciling with this person, but interests are the bottom line of human nature...... Hatred is settled, and sometimes there is no way to solve the truth, only by force

And there was a kind of natural pride in his bones, which made his wry smile fade away, and his expression was resolute: "How can I, Yu Fan, be defeated by you?

When I went out in clothes, there were few stars and moons, the rain was collected and the clouds were dispersed, and the blue sky was like washing.

Yu Fan's expression regained clarity and calmness, and when he looked back, he saw a continuous fleet of seven ships carrying five hundred people......

The return of Jinshi and Tongjinshi is like this, and along the way, like a torch attracting night fireflies, it stirs up waves in the dead and silent pools of water in various places

The more familiar you are with reading the history, the more shocked you are by the control of the imperial court, after the popularization of printing, the scholars of the poor family have poured out, this number of places is limited, there are always many talented and unambitious people, and it is a hidden disaster in the place.

In April and May of every three years, hundreds or hundreds of Jinshi and Jinshi return to their hometowns, just like the meridians of the human body, lead to various states, absorb evil spirits, and transform them into new blood to promote new families.

This is still a small head, the real spectacular is that before and after the new monarch ascended the throne, several to more than a dozen famous princes were canonized princes, out of Beijing to become a vassal, on the road to the frontier, a large number of people from the dragon flocked in, forming tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people, carrying out a large migration, the waves are mighty, no less than an expedition......

In fact, it was an expedition to bring surplus talents and even unemployed people from the states and counties out of the territory to the periphery of the territory and establish a new feudal state.

These people reclaimed and struggled, and each generation was an epic, and after the establishment was successful, they imported new blood into the interior.

But Yu Fan knew that these 0 were not something he could think about, and it was estimated that he could only absorb five hundred, and the real Jinshi, even the top three on the list, let go of the absorption, I was afraid that it would be possible to absorb one or two thousand people, which would be quite a recreation of the Ye family, and the strength would be doubled, and it would be even more difficult to deal with.

And this person went back a month earlier, I'm afraid he has been slowly digesting......

Yu Fan learned from the pain, he was very jealous of Ye Qing, and as soon as he heard the news that Ye Qing rushed back, he made up his mind to go through the path of the king of Mingjun and serve in a county in Yingzhou.

It's just unlikely to be Nancang County

On the one hand, under the imperial court official system, it is already the limit in the same state, unless he gives up his actual position like Ye Qing, he will not be allowed to take office in this county, so as to prevent the family from being too big.

On the one hand, Yu Fan didn't want to collide with Ye Qing again at this time, he was a county wang, and he had a deep foundation, as long as he calmed down, digested this group of people, and then took over the position of head of the family......

Yu Fan narrowed his eyes, his gaze was gloomy, since the last failure, his father's attitude has become more and more unclear, which is also the reason why he wants to start a new business in another county.

"There are many opportunities in the future, and there are many opportunities for war. Thinking like this, Yu Fan looked at the faint glow in front of the river: "What is the place ahead?"

"It's Pingzhou, do you want to stop in the state city?"

"It's nature. Yu Fan nodded, it is inevitable to deal with various states and counties, and under the transfer of the official system, he may become his boss in which year, and the opportunity formed at this time is very beneficial to both parties......

When I was in the capital, I weighed it repeatedly, referred to Mr. Kou's opinion, and chose the king of Mingjun, with him, his future will not be a problem in a short time, and through the relationship between the Yu family, the name of the king of the county, and his own aura of being the first in Jinshi, he also recruited a few magicians - this is not something that Ye Qing can have without connotation, even if he is a leader.

The hull of the ship shook, docked on the dock, and suddenly saw a team of patrolmen lifting lanterns, and the night light came, seeing that it was a fleet of Jinshi, they did not dare to make a mistake, and stepped forward to salute.

Yu Fan got off the boat, saw that the dock was a little deserted, couldn't help but be surprised, called an officer, and asked, "What's going on?"

The officer saluted and said, "My lord, the curfew in this state has been a lot more deserted. ”

"Curfew? Why is there a curfew in Pingzhou?" Yu Fan looked up, it was night, but it was not too late, why was it quiet?

Curfews on the earth are very normal, but in this world, the Dao Law of the Realm is manifest, and there is no fear of night markets, so unless there are special circumstances, there is a curfew, and there is no curfew at ordinary times.

After seeing the quiet street, the whole wharf looked particularly gloomy, and soldiers stood faintly at the entrance of the important street, checking the occasional passerby.

The doors of every house were closed, and the lights were dim, and only the husband carried the lantern and knocked on the gong or the gong and gradually moved away.

"My lord, there is some reason" Seeing that there was no one else except his own soldiers, the officer leaned in and whispered a few words.

"General Yuan Demon Change?" After a while, Yu Fan was slightly shocked in his heart.

"Yes, thirty miles east of the state city, there is an ancient battlefield called General Yuan, there were some abnormal changes half a month ago, and some monsters poured out, and now the sorcerer group is suppressing it. ”

"Encirclement and suppression in front of the purification, in order to prevent disasters, there is a curfew"

"I see" Seeing that although the officer was a little nervous, he was not panicking, and he knew that the matter was not big, and his heart moved, and before he could speak, he saw the officer introduce: "My lord, although it is a curfew, you can't help the official body, you can act at will." ”

"And there are also hotels that are open where you can go and stay and rest. ”

The road is very quiet, there is a lantern every short distance, although there is a curfew, some places, there are still brilliant lights, and there is the sound of silk and bamboo in the nearby mansions and hotels.

Yu Fan couldn't help but smile, took out a gold leaf, and rewarded the officer, and when the officer left, he ordered: "Pass my order, the family soldiers, the newly attached samurai, and a few magicians are all brought."

"The ship is safe ......"

"I have my own government to defend it, I am the top of the three lists, dare to miss a cold hair from my family?" Yu Fan glanced at it dissatisfiedly, and when he saw that this relative was going down, he ordered to take out a bag full of Dao talismans.

These few were made by the sorcerers in the family, but most of them were purchased from the relevant departments of the imperial court in the capital in the name of the king of Mingjun

Such a lethal Dao talisman is no longer limited to self-defense, it is not possible to buy it with money, Yu Fan is determined to use this favor.

The last time Mr. Dai disobeyed the order and didn't kill Ye Qing, he understood that some strength is usually used, and when he is really in danger, only his own strength is reliable.

At this time, he took it in his hand, and stared at the armor soldiers gathered on the deck below the porthole, and there were a few magicians, and suddenly felt much more stable, and ordered: "Invite Mr. Kou here." ”

Mr. Kou rushed over, looking a little hasty, but after listening to it, he understood, and said in thought: "Lord, do you want to intervene in it and get some results?"

Yu Fan nodded silently, Mr. Kou glanced at him, did not say anything at first, pondered for a moment, and said, "This matter is indeed promising?"

"Huh?"

"First of all, we must find out the situation of this general, know yourself and know the enemy, in order to win a hundred battles"

"The second is to be upright, you can't do it in private, this is in the name of officialdom, if you do it in private, not only will you not get good, but you will be suspicious and say that you don't understand the rules. ”

"Go above board, you are the top of the three lists, the first Jinshi used by the imperial court, under the imperial court official system, you think about who your boss is, and they also think that they can't tell when you are a subordinate, a colleague, or even a boss - you are the first in the same jinshi, and you are promoted quickly, who can not give you some face?"

"Of course, if you pick peaches completely, you still can't, but now you have samurai and magicians, this is not peach picking, it is to understand the overall situation, and you have the courage to share the burden. ”

Yu Fan listened, couldn't help but be solemn, after listening, sighed and said: "What you said is reasonable, it is really an old saying, and it is really my luck to have a husband." ”

At this time, there were shadows in the distance, Yu Fan watched, fell into deep thought, his eyes flashed under the lamp, and he suddenly smiled: "I didn't expect that I would be like this, seize every opportunity, and don't let go of it to fight for any results." ”

Mr. Kou was silent for a long time before he said: "Only those who are in high positions can be calm, and the lord has not yet reached this level, at this time." ”

"Yes, the quantity is not only a person, but also a situation. Yu Fan smiled silently, no longer said this, and said orderly: "Go ashore first, find a hotel to stay, and early tomorrow morning, I will hand over a post to ask for a meeting." In the evening, we will have a banquet for the relevant officials and settle this matter. ”

said, he was a little melancholy, and said: "This fame and wealth must be fought out with a knife and a gun, I didn't understand it deeply before, but now I think it is true, Mr. Kou, you have followed me for many years, you will see that I am no longer the me I used to be"

Mr. Kou stared at Yu Fan, unable to speak, for the first time, he felt that this son had a cold and majestic temperament, and for the first time, he really felt that his lord still had a very future.

Yu Fan smiled indifferently, got up, took off his original clothes, put on a big coat, and said, "I'll go first, and after you finish dealing with the things on the ship, you'll follow."

As soon as he waved his hand, he saw a large number of guards crowding around.

Looking at his figure, Mr. Kou laughed silently, there is still a fight for the world in Yingzhou
