The devil is coming

Chapter 51
Zheng Fan didn't know how he fell asleep, but to be honest, he slept well last night.
Because I have been practicing martial arts for a while, it feels similar to ordinary people running a marathon every day. Once a person consumes all his energy, he will not be able to sleep, and there will be no such thing as insomnia and dreams. .
However, as soon as he woke up and regained consciousness, Zheng Fan's memories of last night began to appear in his mind.
Subconsciously, he turned sideways and looked to his side, only to find that there was no one beside him.
emptiness,
Pity,
Lost…
Ok?
After sitting up on the bed, Zheng Fan was a little surprised to find that Siniang was lying on the floor under his bed.
Wearing a long gown and pajamas, it looks like a naughty girlfriend wearing her boyfriend's long-sleeved style, like a narcissus that has sucked up water.
this……
Didn't you agree to sleep on the bed?
really,
She just teases men out of habit.
Siniang also opened her eyes at this time. In fact, she had woken up early. She had sensed the change in Zheng Fan's breathing rhythm when he woke up, but it was more natural to open her eyes at this time.
"Master, you are awake. I will help you wash up."
"it is good."
"Master, breakfast should be ready in the front hall. Master, please go up and use it. I have to clean it up myself."
"it is good."
Zheng Fan walked out of the back room,
I saw a very familiar wooden box placed behind the door.
squat down,
Open,
The stone lay quietly in the box.
Siniang must have put it away for her. Usually these days, after Zheng Fan took a bath at night, he would just leave the magic pill in the soup pool and let him soak in it for a while.
Maybe when you get tired of soaking in it, you'll be willing to come out.
Thinking of the blind man's advice to him before leaving, Zheng Fan hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took out the stone from the box and placed it in the middle of his chest.
To put it bluntly, even if this guy doesn't want to come out, it would be good to use it to block an arrow or something.
Fortunately, Zheng Fan was wearing armor, and with a small stone inside, there was still plenty of space.
open the door,
The rising sun is just right,
Zheng Fan clenched his fists slightly, feeling that his whole body was filled with a kind of positive energy, and he wanted to do a set of boxing techniques that "the times are calling" in his heart.
Perhaps because he has gradually become familiar with the control of Qi and blood, the regulation of breathing and various functions of the body are improving visibly, and he is no longer in the sub-healthy state of the otaku comic author before.
After breakfast, Zheng Fan was wiping his mouth.
"Owner."
Fangcao appeared in the yard and gave Zheng Fan a slight blessing.
"Master, the horses are ready."
In the past, Liang Chenglai was responsible for accompanying Zheng Fan to the Yamen, but now they are all out.
Zheng Fan originally thought that Siniang would disguise herself as a male servant and accompany him to the yamen as he had said before, but he waited outside for a while with his horse but did not see Siniang come out.
I guess Siniang is just talking...
Well, you really can't believe everything a woman says, especially an experienced woman.
Zheng Fan wasn't angry at all. In fact, he didn't really want those demon kings to treat him like a "princess" and protect him meticulously.
Sometimes, he also hopes that he can breathe some fresh air, just like a child who has not grown up and always wants to be independent.
In addition, what improves after practicing martial arts is not only the physical fitness, but also the...confidence in the heart.
No longer waiting, Zheng Fan got on his horse and went to work alone.
In the backyard, Fangcao walked into Zheng Fan's bedroom and walked into the inner room. She walked to the bed first, moved the pillow away, and was stunned for a moment, with a hint of shyness on her face.
"Are you looking for this?"
Siniang's voice came from behind.
Fangcao was startled, and immediately turned around, looking at Siniang who had appeared here in horror.
Naturally, the demon kings will not inform their servants in advance of what they are going to do, and there is no need;
For example, no one knew about Siniang sleeping in Zheng Fan's room last night.
Si Niang held a sachet in her hand and looked at the grass with interest.
“The embroidery work on this sachet is too ordinary. Although it is skilled, it is not fine at all;
You, maybe you have been working hard for too long in the past and have done too much rough work. This embroiderer still needs to spend time to correct it.
In addition, the flavors of the spices in it are too complex and conflict with each other, which makes it inferior. "
"No, Si Niang, it's not what you think, it's not..."
A smile appeared on the corner of Si Niang's mouth,
Interrupting Fangcao's words,
Road:
"What are you thinking? I'm very clear-minded in my heart. You probably like A Ming, but at first, A Ming has no interest in you. To be honest, don't think that if someone kills your father, he will be responsible for you. He might have just been interested that day and killed someone casually.
Secondly, you also know that the master is much closer and kinder than A Ming, so you think the master is easy to attack. "
"No, I didn't. I put the sachet just to see the Lord practicing martial arts hard and to want the Lord to sleep well at night..."
"I've already discovered it. There's no point in trying to quibble anymore. It's better for the bachelor to admit it. This should be changed next time.
Although we women don't have to go out to fight naked and hold a knife like the old men, we still have to be somewhat heroic and dare to take responsibility. "
"Yes, Si Niang, I want to hook up with the Lord and want the Lord to notice me."
"Clap clap clap!"
Si Niang applauded.
"That's right. You have such a pitiful background and want to climb up a branch and become a phoenix. This is human nature. Do you know where you went wrong?"
"Master, it belongs to you, Fourth Mother, not for a lowly maid like me to taint..."
"Well, this counts as one.
Forget it, let me tell you, a sharpened knife can be used to chop firewood. Although the Lord looks kind and gentle, to be honest, the Lord will not notice or see through your thoughts?
What the Lord is best at is routines. In the eyes of the Lord, your routines are still too young.
The most important thing is that if you want to seduce a man or attract and control a man, first of all, take care of your own skin and take care of it;
Look at what you are like now. You have only lived a good life for a few days, and you are already impatient, right?
This embroidery, chess, calligraphy and painting, which one do you not want you to learn?
Fangcao shook her head.
"So, you still have a lot to learn. Learn slowly first, and spend half a year applying facial masks with me every night. When I think you are ready to start teaching, I will naturally give you a chance. .”
"Yes, the servant knows."
"Go away, you cheap hooves. If you dare to attack the master again before leaving the army, the wild dogs over there at the mass grave tomorrow will have one more midnight snack."
Fangcao was so frightened that she hurriedly left the inner room and ran out.
The previous conversation, the gap between the two people's auras, was like Cixi who had just entered the palace facing Xiaozhuang after Kangxi had taken over the throne. It was simply crushing on countless levels.
Si Niang dropped the sachet in her hand on the ground.
He leaned against the bed board,
The fierce and decisive look before slowly faded away.
A feeling of sadness began to spread.
"Ugh……"
Si Niang sighed again.
In fact, when the blind man left her to guard the house alone, she refused, but in her heart, she was very happy.
She felt that this was her best chance to win over the Lord. The night was long, the house was empty and lonely, and she was alone.
Waiting for blind A Ming and others to come back,
She has to kneel in front of her and call her mistress.
Yo ho ho ho,
how wonderful...
But who would have expected...
Ah ah ah ah ah!
Si Niang was really unwilling!
But there is really no way. The magic pill was designed by the Lord himself. He has no entity, but a resentful baby. This is also the case when everyone was ordinary people at the beginning, he could directly seal himself and become deaf. The reason for sniffing out the window.
Not only is the difference in strength,
more importantly,
Even a blind person would not be able to figure out his character.
Because this kid has something wrong with his brain!
it's good now,
The moment before your good deeds are about to come true,
He suddenly appeared.
"Do you love your dad, or do you hate your dad?"
I love your father, so I don’t want him to find a stepmother for me;
I hate your father, so you can’t even touch women.
Being your dad is so hard;
Si Niang knows clearly,
Fortunately, it was me who planned to attack the master last night.
If it were anyone else,
For example, fragrant grass,
He probably even lost his life and turned into a mummy to greet the morning light the next morning!
finally,
Countless sorrows and helplessness turned into a long sigh:
"Feng Tangyi is old, Li Guang is hard to be named, alas, it is hard to be a stepmother..."
…………
I have a little pony that I ride every day, riding it to the Yamen to go to the market every morning;
This is really a true portrayal of Zheng Fan. In his previous life, he always heard other people say how easy it was for civil servants to have an iron rice bowl;
A cup of tea, a pack of cigarettes, and a newspaper sit all day long.
But it is estimated that even the civil servants in leisure positions in later generations are not as idle as the "court official" of the Yan Kingdom now.
Walk into the Yamen,
The servants said hello to Zheng Fan, who nodded one by one.
Colleagues basically regarded Zheng Fan as nothing.
It's been a few days since he took office, and Zheng Fan really hasn't had a restaurant with anyone, because Zheng Fan has the mark of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion on his body, and the Zhenbei Marquis himself has been summoned to the capital, and the outcome is unknown. Naturally, now No one dares to come and wade in the muddy water.
Zheng Fan was also happy to be free. He had his own desk, but it was empty. There was no deputy or adjutant. There were many captains sitting around him, about the same age as Zheng Fan.
They are all from the wealthy families, military leaders and Wubao children near Hutou City. They are all second-generation ancestors, and they all wear the official title of captain. The yamen is also interesting. I feel that this house is used as a "garbage storage yard". The group of people who had nothing to do but eat were all dragged here.
After all, they are just dawdling around. Although everyone only needs to deal with it every day, when you sit here, there are no game consoles or mobile phones to play with, so you can only brag.
Although these second-generation ancestors are two, they are not stupid, and no one dares to have a close relationship with Zheng Fan, but it is still okay to sit in the yamen and brag and spank together.
Zheng Fan didn't mind chatting with them either, since he had nothing to do anyway.
Not to mention, these second-generation ancestors who are arranged by the family to hang around and act as family cards, speak really well.
"Hey, the second son of the Sun family, can you please be a little quieter with your calculations? You know, you know this is a government office, but you don't know, you thought this was a vegetable market."
"I'm settling accounts."
"Are you the chief bookkeeper? What kind of accounts do you want to settle?"
"Why don't we celebrate the Chinese New Year? Wuli is planning to send goods again before the new year. I'm here to figure out which goods to send will be more profitable when the time comes."
The Sun Family Fort had a trading house in Hutou City, and Sun Yan, the second eldest son of the Sun family, was in charge of it. It was very convenient to do business while being an official.
"Hey, what's the point of worrying about these things? It's better to let the queen go and go horse racing and hunting outside."
"Wu Laosan, my Sun family fort has a lot of people but little land. We are poor and cannot compare to your Wu family. If I don't work harder, I will really not be able to survive this life."
"It's still early, don't be so exaggerated."
“Looking at it, it will be the twelfth lunar month in two months. If we don’t work hard, how will we survive this winter?
I went to see it in the morning. Because the trade routes were cut off for a while due to the war, the prices of pork and ribs were already ridiculously high.
Do you still want to stuff the sausage?Where to get bacon?Who do you want the radish to stew with?
What do you think of Vermicelli?Do potatoes still have a soul?Where to tuck the pickled prunes? "
Here in Hutou City, beef and mutton are cheaper than pork, but just like the Chinese character for "家", a family must have pigs to make it complete.
Although the Yan State is located in the north of the Central Plains, unlike the desert barbarians, it believes that pork is the soul of ancestor worship and consumption.
"Okay, okay, Sun Laoer, I have convinced you."
"Haha, don't talk about it yet. Today, the shopkeeper of my business came back with some goods and told me something."
"what's up?"
The second-generation ancestors nearby immediately came over. After dinner, everyone was looking forward to these new things to satisfy their appetite.
Zheng Fan also pricked up his ears and listened.
"Meijiawu, everyone was destroyed yesterday, and Wubao was also occupied by others, haha."
"Meijiawu? It's not far from here. What's the owner's name, Mei Wannian?"
"Yes, he is dead too, and his head is hanging on the wall of Wubao. Mei Wannian, Zhencheng has no old age."
"Who did this? Even if it was annexation or revenge, he dared to do it under the nose of Zhenbei Army?"
These second-generation ancestors have seen countless fights and mergers between Wubao and various families. The essence of this world is that the big fish eats the small fish;
In fact, Meijiawu's strength and population are not really strong, that is to say, the location is good, and relying on Hutou City and Tuman City, the big forces are afraid to extend their claws.
"Yes, doesn't the Zhenbei Army care about it?"
"Haha, the interesting thing about this is that after the forces of Meijiawu were destroyed, the flag of the Zhenbei Army was actually hung on the wall of Meijiawu."
"What? Is this done by the Zhenbei Army?"
"Is the Zhenbeihou Mansion crazy? The Zhenbeihou himself is still in the capital and has not returned. The Zhenbei army first attacked the barbarians and now they are attacking Wubao. What are they doing?"
"That's right, outsiders and our own people are all beheaded. Is this telling the other forces in Beifeng County not to mess with me? If I go crazy, will all my own people be beheaded?"
"Who gave the order?"
"Yes, who is leading the troops under the Zhenbei Army?"
"Could it be that princess again?"
Sun Laoer shook his head and said:
"Let me think about it, my servants seemed to have told me that the leader of the army, whose surname is Zheng, is a school captain."
There are as many school captains as dogs in Yan State, and those who lead the troops are basically school captains.
"Your surname is Zheng? Hahaha, don't we have a Colonel Zheng here?"
A second-generation ancestor pointed at Zheng Fan and smiled.
"Yes, could it be that Captain Zheng went out of the city overnight and destroyed the Mei family?"
"Hahaha, interesting and interesting."
"Zheng Lieutenant is indeed a real person who doesn't show off his appearance."
Everyone was joking and joking together, but no one believed that it was really Zheng Fan who did it. Everyone was living under the same roof, and no one knew who was who.
Zheng Fan also smiled and was not angry. He was still wondering what the Zhenbei Army was going to do by doing this. Are he going to rebel?Or continue to demonstrate?
"I said, Lieutenant Zheng, the general of the Zhenbei Army, is a relative of yours?"
Zheng Fan shook his head and said: "My family came here as a refugee. Where are the relatives from? Even if I know them, they don't know me."
"Oh, Commander Zheng is so humble, so humble."
"Maybe it's actually possible to become a distant relative?"
At this time,
Sun Laoer patted his head and said:
"I remember, my servant told me that the title of the Zhenbei Military Academy Captain who led the troops was the Hushang Academy Lieutenant."
"Captain Hushang, why does this name sound so familiar?"
"Yeah, I think I've heard it a few times recently."
"Indeed, it does sound familiar."
Suddenly,
The second-generation ancestors present all turned their attention to Zheng Fan again.
In the eyes,
With deep shock and disbelief.
You must know that the official position of Protector of the Commercial School was "newly created" by the imperial court recently in order to weaken the local military power, but it is still very fresh and steaming.
And Zheng Fan himself,
In my heart, ten thousand mud horses galloped past,
There was a vague guess in my mind.
"Zheng Xiaowei, what is your official title?" the third child of the Wu family asked timidly.
Zheng Fan looked calm,
replied:
"I belong to the Zhenbei Army, stationed in Hutou City, and serve as the guardian of the merchant school."
"hiss………………"
The second-generation ancestors present took a collective breath, which directly caused the air pressure in the room to drop instantly.
Sun Laoer stopped what he was doing and looked at Zheng Fan with a strange expression.
The reason why his expression was strange was because he didn't know how to look at Zheng Fan at this moment.
We are obviously a bunch of losers who get along well with each other, how come we have a ruthless character in our midst?
But still with great curiosity,
Tentatively asked:
"Brother Zheng, I dare to ask, what is the purpose of your Zhenbei Army's move?"
Although they are second-generation ancestors, it is almost their instinct to gather information for the family. As the most terrifying giant in Beifeng County, Zhenbei Army, his movements and intentions are undoubtedly the family fort on the ground in Beifeng County. We are the focus of concern!
Zheng Fan took a deep breath,
this moment,
Of course he cannot say:
I didn’t know that those guys were doing things non-stop as soon as they left the house yesterday!
Zheng Fan's face immediately darkened.
The whole person's temperament changed directly from the smiling and nice guy before to unfathomable.
Road:
"Oh, I am acting in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, why do I need to explain to others!"

PS: Thank you to Who8mypan for becoming the 47th leader of "Demon Arrival"!
