Guarding the border: I am sanctified in the flesh

Chapter 117 Time has changed and things are different

After finally introducing a large group of people, Lu Fan and Ye Wuchen breathed a sigh of relief.

"Commander Lu, please."

Ye Qianshi and Chen Wenshi accompanied Lu Fan into Ye Mansion.

The others followed behind and surrounded Lu Fan, making him feel the enthusiasm of the Ye family.

Arriving at the small courtyard where Ye Wuchen lived, Ye Qianshi and Chen Wenshi took everyone from the Ye family and stopped outside the courtyard.

"Commander Lu, if you stay here for a few more days, we won't bother you."

Ye Qianshi smiled and said: "If you have any needs, just ask, and I will try my best to meet them."

"it is good."

Lu Fan nodded slightly, "Thank you uncle."

"Let's go."

Ye Wuchen dragged Lu Fan into the courtyard.

Qin Yu and others followed closely behind.

Today's scene caught them by surprise.

Although they have a good family background, compared with the Ye family, there is a big gap.

They were flattered by the enthusiasm of the Ye family.

But they also knew that it was because of Lu Fan that the Ye family received such courtesy.

With this in mind, they entered the small building where Ye Wuchen lived, and someone had already arranged their rooms.

"I'm going to visit my parents, and I'll come as soon as I go."

Ye Wuchen said hello and left in a hurry.

He quickly came to the main courtyard and entered the house, only to see his parents and sister were there.

"Wuchen, come and sit."

Chen Wenshi waved to him with a smile on her face.

"Ah."

Ye Wuchen came to sit beside his sister.

"Just a few days ago, someone from the Lin family called off your younger sister's marriage."

Chen Wenshi smiled and said, "Actually, this is exactly what I want."

"Recently, I have also heard some rumors that this Lin Yao is not very disciplined, and his character is not good."

"How can such a person be worthy of my daughter?"

"Even if the Lin family doesn't come to withdraw the engagement, we have to go to the Lin family to withdraw the engagement."

Speaking of this, Chen Wenshi glanced at Ye Wuchen, "But this is a bit strange, did you do it?"

"it's me."

Ye Wuchen didn't hide anything, and told about his meeting with Lin Yao.

"I see."

Chen Wenshi praised: "You did the right thing!"

"This person is too bad!"

Ye Wuchen said coldly: "I will never let my sister marry such a person."

"Then do you have a good candidate?"

Chen Wenshi asked in a low voice: "How is Lu Fan? He hasn't made an appointment yet, right?"

"Of course Lu Fan is fine. Originally, I also hoped that my sister would marry him."

While talking, Ye Wuchen shook his head suddenly, and sighed softly, "But I tested him, and he said that he has no plans to get married yet."

"What can we do then?"

Chen Wenshi turned her eyes to Ye Qianshi, hoping that he could come up with an idea.

"Don't look at me, I can't help it."

Ye Qianshi quickly looked away.

"Mother, there's no need to rush this kind of thing."

Ye Wuchen said: "Lu Fan will get married sooner or later. As long as he wants to get married, his sister must be his first choice. With me by his side to help his sister talk, it will be no problem."

"But how long do we have to wait?"

Chen Wenshi was still a little uneasy, "Can your sister afford to wait?"

"My sister is not very old, so there is no problem waiting for two years."

Ye Wuchen glanced at his sister and asked, "What do you think?"

"Ah."

Ye Qingyun lowered her head shyly, her voice was inaudible.

"Or so."

Chen Wenshi's eyes suddenly lit up, "Let your sister go back to Zhennan Pass, so that she will have more opportunities to get in touch with Lu Fan. After a long time, maybe Lu Fan will change his mind and want to get married sooner?"

"no!"

Ye Qianshi on the side spoke, "How can Qing Yun be allowed to go to a place like the military camp? After all, she is a daughter's family, so she still has to take her reputation into consideration."

"What happened to the barracks?"

Chen Wenshi retorted: "With Wuchen's current status, he must have a separate residence and let him bring his family. Qing Yun only needs to stay in Wuchen's residence and does not need to contact other people. Wuchen can often invite Lu Fan to his home as a guest."

"I also think it's wrong, it's a military camp after all."

Ye Wuchen shook his head lightly, "Besides, there may be a war at Zhennan Pass at any time, I can't let my sister stay with me and take risks."

"I don't even want my sister to suffer in the military camp."

Speaking of this, Ye Wuchen glanced at his sister and asked, "What do you think?"

"I listen to my brother."

Ye Qingyun shyly said: "And I also think it's wrong. If I go to the barracks, it's too deliberate. I don't want Lu Fan to look down on me because of it."

"Besides, although Lu Fan is good, I, Ye Qingyun, are not bad either."

"It's not that I can't get married, there's really no need to make such a bad move."

"It will make people gossip."

Ye Qingyun sighed: "That will damage our Ye family's reputation."

"Yes."

Ye Qianshi said: "That's it, Qing Yun will wait for him for two years. If there is no result after two years, then let's find Qing Yun a good family."

"Ok."

Seeing that the three of them disagreed with her, Chen Wenshi could only obey, "Then wait."

……

……

the next morning.

Lu Fan rejected Ye Qianshi and his wife's enthusiastic persuasion, and insisted on leaving.

Ye Qianshi and Chen Wenshi could only agree.

Had breakfast.

Lu Fan and his party set off again.

Watched by everyone in the Ye family, he got on his horse and quickly drove away from everyone's sight.

On the way, Lu Fan opened the properties panel.

continue!

Even on the road, Lu Fan never stopped practicing.

The cloud of war is approaching day by day, and he has to become stronger.

time does not wait.

From the beginning to the end, he felt a sense of urgency, not daring to relax for a moment.

"drive!"

Lu Fan stepped on his horse and headed south all the way.

Ye Wuchen and others followed closely behind.

Every time I go to a city, the local officials always give warm hospitality.

The farther south you go, the more enthusiastic the officials are.

Today is December [-]th.

in the afternoon.

Lu Fan and the others finally arrived at Zhennan Pass. They entered through the north gate, attracting the attention of countless people along the way.

Except for Qiao Yun, they were all wearing Dragon Shadow Guard military uniforms, bows on their shoulders, knives on their waists, maroon horses, and bursts of chill emanating from their bodies.

Intimidating.

At first glance, it looks like a person who has experienced many battles and even experienced life and death.

"Look, Dragon Shadow Guard."

"Isn't that Lu Fan?"

"Lu Fan is back?"

"Great!"

Someone recognized Lu Fan and immediately exclaimed.

More people were attracted, and when they saw Lu Fan, they all looked a little happy.

"So he is Lu Fan."

"I've heard about it a long time ago, and today I finally saw her true face."

"Sure enough, it is a dragon and a phoenix among people!"

"That's right, Lu Fan has now been promoted to the commander of the Dragon Shadow Guard, and he is a great big shot."

Amidst the people's discussions, Lu Fan and others continued to move forward.

Before I knew it, I came to Langui Street.

The scene became more lively.

Originally, there were many people on Langui Street, and people who followed Lu Fan all the way to watch the excitement made the whole street besieged.

"what happened?"

"It seems that Lu Fan is back."

"Huh? Then we have to take a look."

"Walk."

The whole Langui Street was talking about Lu Fan, and people lost their minds about shopping and rushed to see Lu Fan's true face.

The customers who were queuing up at the biscuit shop ran away in an instant.

"Mother, I heard that Lu Fan is back."

Xiao Yu couldn't stand it any longer, and lightly pulled Cailian's clothes, "Why don't we go and see the excitement?"

"Okay, listen to you."

Cailian said with a smile: "The Lu Fan is not the same as before, he is now a big shot!"

"Yes."

Xiao Yu couldn't help but sigh inwardly, she could finally let go of that unrealistic delusion.

Now she and Lu Fan, one is the sky and the other is the earth.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get it.

The bun shop at this time.

Tang Chuowan ran out like a gust of wind, "Father, I'll go and have a look."

"You come back to me!"

Tang Rongxing looked up to find his daughter, but couldn't even see her.

"Oh, the child!"

"It's so embarrassing."

"Since learning martial arts, it has become more difficult to manage."

Tang Rongxing muttered, and chased him out.

"Father, mother, look quickly, that's my sister."

There was a young girl in the crowd, pointing at Qiao Yun with excitement.

Even though her sister was wearing a military uniform, she was instantly recognizable.

She is Qiao Yun's younger sister, Qiao Yue, who is 15 years old this year.

"It's really your sister."

Xiuqin also recognized her daughter, stared blankly, unable to move away.

Tears slipped down her cheeks unknowingly, but she didn't care to wipe them off.

The remorse and guilt in my heart burst out completely at this moment, pouring out together with tears, and I couldn't stop it anymore.

"Xiaoyun is back!"

Qiao Shouyi, who was on the side, muttered to himself, crying.

He opened his mouth and wanted to call out to his daughter, but he couldn't make a sound.

It finally turned into a long sigh.

"Ugh!"

Shame on Xiaoyun!
But back then, he was forced to do nothing.

Just in time for the famine, if the daughter is not sold, the whole family will starve to death.

What can he do?
"That Lord Qin is back too."

Qiao Yue was even more excited when she saw Qin Yu again.

"Yes."

"He is our benefactor."

Qiao Shouyi and his wife finally came back to their senses, and their thoughts came alive.

"Father, mother, we still have a great benefactor."

Qiao Yue said with a smile: "Master Lu not only saved my sister, but also settled down our whole family. He is our family's great benefactor."

"Yes."

"I heard that Mr. Lu is back."

Qiao Shouyi finally looked away from his daughter and asked, "Who is it?"

"That's the adult at the front."

Qiao Yue heard people's comments, and could easily tell that it was Lu Fan.

"It was him."

"Sure enough, she is a talented person with an extraordinary bearing."

"It's much better than those young masters."

Xiuqin and Qiao Shouyi looked at Lu Fan and said a few words of admiration.

Qiao Yun glanced across the crowd, and when she saw her parents and younger sister, she was stunned.

Although she hadn't seen her for several years, she recognized her family immediately.

However, the faces of his parents were different from what he remembered.

Especially my father, who is only in his forties, but has gray hair and wrinkled face.

That emaciated body was slightly hunched over, and his eyes had lost the expression they used to have.

The only thing that remains the same is the pampering in the eyes and the joy that is restrained to the utmost.

It was like going back many years ago, her parents were waiting for her at the door of the house.

Tears blurred Qiao Yun's eyes.

Memories of the past surfaced in her mind, the bitterness at the beginning, now after recollection, she no longer felt bitter, but rather sweet.

It even dilutes her hatred for her parents and softens her heart.

"drive!"

After leaving Langui Street, Lu Fan accelerated his speed.

The crowd behind was left far behind, and no one could keep up.

When he came to the deserted wilderness, Lu Fan stopped, looked back at Qiao Yun, and said, "Don't follow us, change your clothes back, and go find your parents."

"Yes, son."

Qiao Yun jumped off the horse and handed the rein to Qin Yu.

"drive!"

Lu Fan left with everyone, leaving Qiao Yun here alone.

He has other arrangements for Qiao Yun.

Langui Street is full of fish and dragons, and Chu Guo's eyeliner must be indispensable.

The reason why Qiao Yun was asked to return to his parents was to ask Qiao Yun to help him find out the news and find out those suspicious people by the way.

There are many passers-by on Langui Street, and they have talked about what happened in various places. Qiao Yun has experience in this field, so she will definitely be able to find out a lot of useful information.

Although Zhennan Army also has a lot of eyeliners, Lu Fan still needs an eyeliner of his own.

Qiao Yun is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

He also specially arranged for Qin Yu to connect with Qiao Yun.

Seeing that everyone disappeared, Qiao Yun took off the package she carried with her, found a secret place, and took out her usual women's clothes to change into.

She still has a grudge against her parents, and originally didn't want to go home so soon.

But since Lu Fan has a task for her, she is quite happy.

She was very happy to do things for Lu Fan, and used this to repay Lu Fan's kindness to her.

She even thought that her life was no longer her own, but Lu Fan's.

If Lu Fan wants it, he can take it anytime.

And she was willing.

……

……

"drive!"

Lu Fan and his party returned to the Zhennan Army barracks.

A group of people were waiting in front of the gate of the barracks.

Commander Zhao Fei stood at the front, behind him were two commanders, and behind him were more than a dozen Dutongs.

Then there are President Qian, guerrillas, generals, etc., there are hundreds of people.

Almost all the senior officers of the Zhennan Army came.

Seeing such a big battle, Lu Fan and Ye Wuchen dismounted early and walked towards the crowd.

Zhao Fei also greeted him with everyone behind him.

"Commander Lu!"

Zhao Fei smiled and cupped his fists at Lu Fan, "Welcome home!"

"Thank you, Master Zhao."

Lu Fan cupped his fists in return.

Afterwards, everyone exchanged a few pleasantries and entered the barracks.

Zhao Fei and Lu Fan walked in front side by side.

"Commander Lu's trip to the capital not only gained a great reputation and gained a lot, but also won countless praises for our Zhennan Army."

Zhao Fei praised: "Who doesn't give a thumbs up when you mention our Zhennan Army? It's all thanks to you."

"We Zhennan Army officers and soldiers, everyone is proud of you."

"No matter who mentions you, they will feel that there is light on their faces."

Speaking of this, Zhao Fei was deeply moved, "I think I was very optimistic about you at the beginning, but I didn't expect to still underestimate you. Your growth has exceeded everyone's expectations. This is really a blessing for my Zhennan army."

"Master Zhao has won the prize."

Lu Fan said politely, "It's you and Commander Li who took care of me that made me what I am today. Please continue to take care of me, Mr. Zhao."

"It's rare for you to be so humble."

Zhao Fei nodded in relief, "It's not in vain that I have high hopes for you."

After chatting for a while, the two came to the gate of Longyingwei barracks.

"You just came back, so I won't waste your time."

Zhao Fei stopped and pointed at the door, "Go back and meet your subordinates."

"it is good."

Lu Fan greeted everyone and stepped into the Longyingwei barracks.

Ye Wuchen and the others followed closely behind.

"I have seen the Commander!"

A tidy shout came from not far away.

More than 500 Dragon Shadow Guards neatly lined up in a square team.

Ten captains stood at the forefront.

To be precise, it should be 510 Dragon Shadow Guards, plus ten captains, [-] six people.

If Lu Fan and six people are counted, the total is 520 people.

These are all the combat personnel of the Longyingwei of the Zhennan Army.

Of course, if you add logistics, there will be too many people.

"Let's all go back to the team."

Lu Fan glanced at the few people behind him.

"Yes."

Qin Yu, Meng Ran, Cao Ning, and Song Yu all returned to their respective teams.

They are still in the original team, but their positions have changed, and they are now vice captains.

Lu Fan and Ye Wuchen walked to the front of the team and faced the crowd.

Looking at a familiar face on a piece of paper, his heart was filled with unspeakable joy.

finally come back!
Moreover, he transformed himself and became the commander of this army.

Song Xiucheng, the former superior, became his subordinate instead.

The gap in class was exaggerated by him, and it reached the sky in one step!
But everyone looked at him without any jealousy.

On the contrary, it reveals kindness, respect, and even admiration.

Everyone knew that Lu Fan deserved it.

They were convinced by Lu Fan!
Even more convinced than Li Yongtai.

Because they have witnessed Lu Fan's growth step by step, and they know Lu Fan's hard work and talent best.

Of course, what they are most convinced of is Lu Fan's current strength.

Lu Fan faced the crowd and said loudly, "I'm back!"

"it is good!"

Everyone applauded in unison.

"To be honest, I really didn't expect that I could become the leader of the Dragon Shadow Guard."

Lu Fan glanced around and said, "But since I've got this position, I will do my best!"

"Starting today, I will formulate the most rigorous training plan for you, and improve your strength as soon as possible in a short period of time."

"It's for the not-too-distant future. When we get to the battlefield, we will have a better chance of surviving."

"The situation in front of you must be clear to you."

"The war may start at any time, and Zhennanguan will bear the brunt. As the most elite unit of the Zhennan Army, we must always be ready for war."

"On the battlefield, we will make every effort to turn the tide and make untold military exploits!"

"Although war is cruel, it is also an opportunity for us."

After a short pause, Lu Fan continued: "I hope you can seize this opportunity to improve your own strength, so that you can all have a bright future in the future!"

"Yes!"

The uniform voice, extremely loud, passed through the barracks in an instant, and resounded in the sky above Zhennan Pass.

"Okay, that's all I'll say."

Lu Fan waved his hand, "It's all gone."

"Yes."

Everyone dispersed.

"Lu Fan!"

Su Mu ran over first, stood still in front of him, looked at him carefully, and suddenly punched him lightly, "Why did you come back?"

"Bold!"

Lu Fan also punched Su Mu lightly, and said with a smile, "You beat your boss in public, you are not afraid that I will kick you out of the Dragon Shadow Guard."

"Haha."

Su Mu laughed.

He is very happy, Lu Fan has not changed.

Although he is now the leader of the Dragon Shadow Guard, he is still the same Lu Fan as before.

And he hasn't changed, and the friendship between them naturally hasn't changed.

that's nice!

Lu Fan was also very happy, he didn't want Su Mu to regard him as his boss.

That would be awkward.

After all, he and Su Mu have known each other for many years, and the friendship between them is more pure and sincere.

"Lu Fan!"

"It can be regarded as expecting you to come back."

"We have all heard about your deeds in the capital."

"Too good!"

Yang Cheng, Xu Bin, Pei Jun, and the three roommates also surrounded him, full of praise for Lu Fan.

After they chatted for a while, Song Xiucheng came over and said with a smile to Lu Fan, "Master Commander, I have arranged for someone to clean up your new residence, and all your previous things have been moved there for you. Why don't you go over and see if there is anything else you need?"

"team leader."

Lu Fan smiled and said, "You can call me Lu Fan, but don't be so cynical."

"How about that?"

Song Xiucheng thought for a while and said, "Since you don't like me calling you Lord Commander, then I'll call you Lord Lu?"

"Ok."

Seeing that the other party insisted on this, Lu Fan didn't say anything more.

Although he and Song Xiucheng are familiar, there is always a layer of separation between them, and it is impossible to get along like Su Mu.

That was the way it was, and it still is.

"Master Lu, please."

"Ah."

Under Song Xiucheng's guidance, Lu Fan entered a small courtyard with a separate small building inside.

Lu Fan recognized it, this is Li Yongtai's former residence.

Passing through the small courtyard, the two entered the house.

The furnishings inside have been replaced with new ones.

Lu Fan took a general look and was quite satisfied, but the room was too big, and if he lived alone, it would be a bit empty.

"Okay, it's good. I don't need anything for now. If there is a need in the future, I will tell you."

"it is good."

Song Xiucheng nodded and said, "Before Commander Li leaves, leave the Dragon Shadow Guard to me. When you have time, I will take you to the warehouse to check the money, food and supplies, and get familiar with the logistics operation of our Dragon Shadow Guard."

"Okay, then there is Captain Lao Song."

Lu Fan agreed.

"My lord, you are welcome."

Song Xiucheng smiled and said: "If it's okay, I'll leave first, you just came back after all, you should have a good rest."

"Ah."

Lu Fan looked at Song Xiucheng's back and watched him leave.

Not long after, slight footsteps sounded.

Ye Wuchen appeared outside the door with a package on his back.

He entered the room with a smile and said, "I was afraid that you would be too lonely by yourself, so I came here to accompany you."

"Okay."

Lu Fan felt that the house was empty, and it was just right to have Ye Wuchen come to accompany him.

After all, the identities of the two are similar, so it is convenient to discuss things together.

Moreover, Ye Wuchen is very quiet and will not disturb Lu Fan's cultivation.

The most important thing is that the strength of the two is also considered to be close, and they have benefited a lot from discussing the topic of cultivation occasionally.

The two had discussed it before.
