The devil is coming

Chapter 468: Imperial Edict and Entry into the Belly
"Yes, uncle."
Xiao Yibo immediately responded and hurried down to make arrangements.
At this time, Liang Cheng joked:
"The Lord is floating."
Uncle Zheng shook his head and said:
"That's not the case. Last time, I was just General Shengle, a general who won and defended the Snow Customs by gambling my life.
Why do you have to work so hard, why do you have to be so reckless?
Isn't it just to be able to forcibly forge a way forward for myself in this way?
Therefore,
At that time, when I saw the imperial envoy who announced the decree, what I saw was actually not an imperial decree, but an affirmation of the blood and fire in my past. After all the hard work, it was finally time to bear fruit, so I was so excited that I couldn't bear it.
Nowadays, I can be said to be in the top ranks, even if I put aside the importance that Marquis Jingnan places on me, I have more than 2 soldiers, mainly elite cavalry;
Underfoot is the snow customs connecting Jindi and Xueyuan.
No matter what he did, it was fine. Not to mention shaking his feet, which would make the big swallow tremble, but if he really went crazy and caused another savage rebellion, there would be no problem.
This person, wherever he sits, must have a certain posture.
This is not something you can learn, and it cannot be learned. If you force yourself to learn it, you will be like a monkey, which is what you said just now, Cheng.
Strange to say,
In my previous life, I opened a studio and only had a few people under me, so my life was simple;
Thanks to you, this life has been extremely wonderful;
I always felt that it was difficult to be a good person, as if saying a word or doing a thing, or even coughing, had to be full of meaning;
Now, I discovered that the most difficult thing is actually how to sit in the position of superior. It is like a dish has been prepared and placed in front of you. Next, do you eat it with chopsticks or a knife and fork? Do you want to chew it carefully? It's up to you whether you want to eat slowly and politely or if you want to feast. "
"But it might attract criticism?" Liang Cheng asked.
"Criticism? What did you do just now?"
"It's not just me." Liang Cheng said.
"This is even simpler, just like you are sitting in a Western restaurant and telling the waiter that you want a medium-rare steak, and then someone at the table next to you is laughing at you for asking for a medium-rare steak.
And people who can eat a steak with a sense of superiority and ritual usually have much lower self-esteem and no sense of existence. Why do you care about such people? "
Liang Cheng nodded and said, "I don't care anymore."
"Yes."
"I kind of get it."
Zheng Fan was a little surprised and said: "So, were you really asking me just now?"
"Lord, I'm learning, I'm learning to try to joke, I'm learning to deal with some relationships with people."
"But I still think the cold you in the comics is cooler."
"Lord, in our eyes, you who stayed up all night and had messy hair in your previous life are the most kind."
Zheng Fan nodded and said, "Yes, people will always change, just enjoy the process of change."
"Yes, my lord."
Liang Cheng is set as an ancient zombie in the comics. He once served as a general in the war between demons and gods. Later, he was cooked by cunning rabbits and lackeys because of his great achievements.
But just as Maimaru is now obsessed with raising children, and Siniang, who has no feelings for men at all and only regards the romantic field as a landscape painting, is now thinking about having a child of her own,
It is normal for this cold zombie to want to make up for some of its shortcomings.
Zheng Fan walked in front, and Liang Cheng followed.
Jin Shuke and others are ready to salute,
Zheng Fan waved his hand and said:
"Okay, save your energy and kowtow to the imperial edict later. Now let's sit down for a while and drink some tea. It will be a while before the imperial envoy enters the city."
"Yes, uncle."
"Yes, uncle."
In the hall, there are slaves serving tea.
These slaves are basically a group of orphan girls adopted by Siniang. After a few years, they have not grown up, but they are already able to do things. According to the generally beastly side of this world, they have reached the age where they can be betrothed. , but according to Siniang’s opinion, there are still people to serve in the mansion anyway, so let’s keep them, at least they know the basics.
When he grows older, he can be betrothed to a general or subordinate in the army, which is also a good destination.
Uncle Zheng once asked Siniang with a smile, is this the Snow Customs version of the Silver Armored Guard?
Siniang's answer was, regardless of whether it counts or not, the effect is actually the same.
Uncle Zheng picked up the teacup, and all the generals below also picked up the teacup.
immediately,
Uncle Zheng smiled,
Everyone laughed together.
The imperial envoy arrived very quickly, much faster than expected.
This means that the imperial envoy did not slow down after encountering the sentries outside the Snow Customs, but continued to gallop. Although he was not as fast as the messenger soldiers who came back to report the message, this hurrying attitude was already very revealing. It's clear.
Ordinary imperial envoys must pay attention to their appearance. When they are about to arrive at the place, they must stop first. If they are more elegant, they must take a shower and brush their horses. At the worst, they must change into clean clothes to cover up the smell of the dust. .
But this one obviously didn't.
Uncle Zheng waved his hand,
Road:
"Let's go and accompany Uncle Ben to receive the order."
The generals stood up and followed Zheng Fan out of the hall.
At this time, the imperial envoy who announced the decree had just entered the gate of Prince Hirano's mansion.
Generally speaking, the edict-proclaiming team should consist of an eunuch announcing the edict and an official with six subordinates.
The rank of eunuchs who declare decrees is uncertain, because the eunuchs in the palace, except for Wei Zhonghe, are often favored now and will lose power later. However, for the officials of the six departments, if you first look at the resume and then look at the style, you can probably tell that they are favored. The value of the person who declares the decree in the eyes of the emperor and the princes in the court.
The person holding the imperial edict was a young eunuch, fair-skinned, probably in his early twenties. At this age, if he could get this job, he would probably do well in the palace.
Behind the young eunuch is a young official with a dignified appearance. He wears a flying fish pendant on his left waist and a sword on his right waist. This combination seems a bit unusual.
Although the civil servants of the Yan State did not pay as much attention to manners and scholarly elegance as the civil servants of the Qian State, they still had some appearance. There were very few who wore swords, let alone swords.
Two groups of people walked towards each other,
The young eunuch raised the imperial edict,
"Uncle Hirano Zheng Fan, the commander-in-chief of Snow Customs, accepts the order!"
"Your Majesty Zheng Fan, long live my emperor!"
Uncle Zheng knelt down,
behind him,
All the generals knelt down.
"The emperor's edict is carried out by heaven: Zheng Fan, the uncle of Pingye, has guarded the border for the country. His hard work has made great achievements, and he has even boasted of his feats. Since I came to the throne, I have been fully aware that rewards and punishments are clearly defined and the rules must be established..."
The boasting here refers to snatching back the princess from Chu State.
In the imperial edict, it is naturally impossible to write like this: Zheng Fan, you kid has robbed the Princess of Chu for me, I am very happy!
Therefore, it is complacent to hide it, but everyone knows it well.
"I will give Zheng Fan, the chief soldier of Fengxue Customs, the title of general of the state, and reward the barbarians with a barbarian sword..."
The young official took a long box from an attendant behind him, walked up to Zheng Fan and opened the box.
Inside the box lies a simple-looking knife.
It is true that the barbarians are very poor. Many barbarian warriors have incomplete armor, and even the heads of arrows have to be polished with bones. However, the barbarians have one extreme, that is, the weapons and armor used by the upper class of the barbarians are often unexpected. good.
Because the barbarians are located between the East and the West, to a certain extent, they can absorb the forging and smelting technology from the East and the West. However, due to their own poverty, they are unable to carry out large-scale production, so this often leads to this very embarrassing situation. As a barbarian tribe rich in precious swords and armor, the armor rate of the Golden Horde cavalry under the royal court is actually not high.
"Uncle Zheng, please take the sword." the young official reminded.
This man had a bright smile on his face, and his enthusiasm made Uncle Zheng a little overwhelmed for a moment.
But Uncle Zheng still nodded and took out the wild knife. The wild knife was very heavy. If you pull out a section, you can feel its aura.
This is indeed a treasured sword!
Until now, Uncle Zheng has not had any commendable weapons, but he has encountered many famous swords. It is a pity that Uncle Zheng does not practice swordsmanship, otherwise he would have stolen Long Yuan, who was using it as a table leg from the sword master's house next door.
As for famous swords,
Uncle Zheng did know that there was a kun knife in the belly of Marquis Jingnan's head, which was an important weapon given to the country by Emperor Yan.
To know is to know,
But Uncle Zheng didn't dare to steal it.
it's good now,
I have one myself,
Although I don't know how "treasured" it is, it is at least better than the knives I used before.
The most important thing is that there are no gems inlaid on it and it doesn't have a unique shape. It is just simple and simple.
This is in line with Uncle Zheng's battlefield aesthetics. As for the knife, it can kill people quickly. Aren't all the bells and whistles a burden?
After seeing Zheng Fan take the knife,
The eunuch continued to declare:
"Give me a set of gold armor."
"Ok?"
The young official waved, and two followers came over carrying a box. They opened the box and found a golden armor inside.
This armor cannot be made of pure gold. How can pure gold armor be spread out to fight?
But since it is called golden armor, at least one thing can be guaranteed. Wearing it under the noon sun, you will be the most dazzling among a thousand soldiers.
Uncle Zheng whispered to Liang Cheng beside him:
"This armor is for you to wear."
"My lord, this is a gift from the emperor, isn't it?"
"On the battlefield, you are me, what's wrong?"
Liang Cheng thought for a while and put forward a suggestion. This suggestion proved that Liang Cheng was indeed thinking about improving his behavior as a person.
He said:
"You can wear it for A Ming."
Uncle Zheng's eyes lit up and he said:
"That's a good idea."
At the moment, A Ming, who is lying in the ice cellar and is still unconscious after being watered once every three days, does not yet know that he has been arranged clearly and glitteringly.
"Cough cough..."
The eunuch who announced the decree couldn't help coughing when he saw that Zheng Fan actually whispered to a general beside him.
Of course, this is not a big disrespect, because it can be seen as Uncle Zheng being overjoyed, flattered, and grateful for the things His Majesty has given him.
The young official reminded in a low voice: "Uncle, there is still the imperial edict."
"Ok?"
Uncle Zheng immediately knelt down.
The eunuch who announced the decree continued to read:
"Uncle Hirano will come to Beijing to have an audience before half of May. There must be no mistake. I admire this!"
what?
what.
what!
Uncle Zheng's eyes immediately widened. Going to Beijing?
I just came back from Chu State, you want me to go to the capital now?
How far is the capital?
How to say,
From Yanjing to the east, to the Horseshoe Mountains, it was considered the original borderline between the Yan State and the Jin State. It was the westernmost point of the Jin State, and Uncle Zheng was now equivalent to the easternmost point of the Jin State.
When Uncle Zheng entered Chu, he walked through Mengshan Mountain, and when he came out, he walked along the Zhennanguan Pass. It was equivalent to walking from the west end of Chu State to the east end. Now, he had to do another long-distance east-west race in Jin State.
Of course, if it was just running, Uncle Zheng would be able to accept it. Now, no matter how long he rides a horse, he won't feel pain in his thighs, but the risk factor of entering Beijing is not low.
The last time I came to Beijing, I met Jingnanhou Tu Miemenmen. What about this time?
How long have you been back home? Are you going to do this again?
"Uncle Hirano, take the order."
Seeing that Zheng Fan had been wandering in his mind, the eunuch who announced the decree had no choice but to remind him.
Zheng Fan took a deep breath, with a happy and excited smile on his face.
"I accept the decree and thank you for the holy grace!"
The eunuch who announced the decree handed the imperial edict to Zheng Fan, and then a flattering smile appeared on his face, and he began to take the initiative to get close to Zheng Fan.
Uncle Zheng is also capable of causing trouble.
The reason why I didn't go out of the city to receive the order before was because it was no longer necessary. Obviously, the two people who delivered the order didn't think there was anything wrong with what Uncle Zheng did.
Xiao Yibo immediately arranged the reception work. Uncle Zheng suppressed all the thoughts in his heart and personally held a bottle to entertain them.
During the dinner, I learned that the young eunuch was called Feng Guan, and he was the godson of Wei Zhonghe;
The young official was a member of the Ministry of Rites named Zhang Yuanshan, and he was also his "fan".
While drinking, Zhang Yuanshan kept asking about Zheng Fan's past achievements. It can be seen that he has a deep yearning for the battlefield.
Later, Zhang Yuanshan also said which year he was elected, which actually hinted that he was the sixth prince.
From their mouths, Zheng Fan also learned that Xiao Liuzi had become a father and gave birth to a son named "Ji Chuanye". Well, a very meaningful name.
Zheng Fan has not received Xiao Liuzi's letter yet, but they arrived earlier than Xiao Liuzi's letter and told Zheng Fan the news earlier.
Fortunately, the two people who announced the decree were both young. If they were replaced by older eunuchs and officials, they would really be unable to bear this long-distance journey.
Because His Majesty stated in the imperial edict the latest time for Uncle Zheng to enter Beijing, and the road from Xueguan to Yanjing was long, Feng Guan and Zhang Yuanshan could only rush on their way while they were there. They did not dare to do anything except changing horses at the inn. Rested too long.
Firstly, they were afraid that there would be some unexpected twists and turns on the road and they would be delayed. Secondly, they had to reserve enough time for Uncle Zheng to return to Beijing. If Uncle Zheng was delayed, Emperor Yan would most likely not hold Uncle Zheng responsible for his crimes. , the fault will only fall on them, which means that they announced the decree late, which caused Uncle Zheng to miss his departure date.
Finally, Feng Guan reminded Uncle Zheng that when he went to Beijing this time, he had to take the princess with him.
After the reception was over, Zheng Fan asked the blind man to continue to accompany him while he left the table.
With a little bit of drunkenness, Zheng Fan took the barbarian sword given by the emperor and walked to the back house.
The back house is very large. In addition to Uncle Zheng's own bedroom and Tiantian's bedroom, there is also a large unused area. Among them, there is a flat area that is not planted with any flowers and plants, but is specially used as a circle for Pixiu.
What surprised Zheng Fan was that Siniang was feeding Pi Xiu with dried meat.
The Pixiu was eating very happily. When he saw Zheng Fan coming, he came out of the fence and nuzzled towards Zheng Fan.
This guy's fence is just for fun, and no one restricts his freedom. Of course, he won't run around, because there are many beings he's afraid of living in the Earl's Mansion, and he's very docile.
"Why don't you rest?"
Zheng Fan knew that Si Niang was sleeping a lot these days in order to recover from her injuries as soon as possible.
"I woke up and found out about the imperial edict, so I came over to feed it some fat."
When he entered the capital this time, Zheng Fan naturally had to ride this brave animal. After all, this brave animal was given by the palace, and it would be unreasonable for him not to ride it back.
Fortunately, if you have some protection along the way, there won't be much danger, so you don't have to worry about being conspicuous.
"My Lord, I will not go to the capital with you this time."
Due to the injury, Siniang is now unable to exert her full strength.
And the Demon King is a carrot and a trap. If someone wants to accompany the Lord to the capital, someone must stay behind.
"Well, I know, it's just a pity." Zheng Fan looked at Siniang and smiled, "I thought, haha, it seems like it will be delayed for a while longer."
"It's good. When the master comes back, the slave family must have fully recovered. The slave family wants a baby that is the same as every day. It won't get sick and can be raised freely."
Tiantian has slept on top of the stone coffin in Shatuo Que since he was a child, and even played with Magic Pills, but he has never gotten sick, and he can entertain himself by himself without crying or making trouble.
It's really easy to raise a child like this.
"I will." Zheng Fan stretched and said, "Let the blind man accompany me this time."
"This is natural, the blind man hasn't advanced yet."
Siniang and the blind man are both management talents, and one of them must stay behind.
Anyway, now that the military system has been changed, what is left is the development of people's livelihood and business operations this year, which is also Siniang's strength.
"Besides, my lord, please take Fan Li with you again. A Ming still has to lie down at home."
"it is good."
paused,
Zheng Fan added:
"When I came back a few days ago, I made an agreement with the Sword Master that he would accompany me when I go out next time."
"It's a good feeling."
"But until now, I'm not sure how much he has recovered."
Siniang smiled and said: "No matter how bad you are, can you still be worse than that sword-maker from Chu State?"
Hearing this, Zheng Fan nodded and said, "That's the truth."
The sword maker has never fired a sword, but he has always been able to put tremendous pressure on people. The effect of the sword master will only be greater than that of the sword maker.
It seems that he doesn’t like the faint and depressed feeling of separation in front of him.
Pixiu snorted,
shook his head,
Forcibly ruined the atmosphere.
Uncle Zheng came back to his senses, looked at Pixiu, waved to Siniang and said:
"Come on, just in time. I almost forgot one thing. Please help me fix this thing."
Uncle Zheng raised his sword as he spoke.
"Back in the battle formation, I once saw Tian Wujing slap Pixiu on the head, and then Pixiu spit out the knife from his crotch and fall into Tian Wujing's hand. Tsk, tsk, that posture and movement were really cool, and they could blow my mind. So greedy.
Come on, be good, kneel down and open your mouth.
Well,
This knife seems a bit thick. Open your mouth wider.
If you dare to shut up, I will cut your head off with a knife.
fast,
What's the name of Pixiu if it doesn't know how to swallow? If it were bigger, I would have stabbed it in. "
"………"brave troops.
