The devil is coming

Chapter 670 Entering Beijing!
Ali is here,
Ali left again,
Walking easily, walking cleanly, not taking away any guilt, walking very vigorously;
but,
A Ming didn't feel sad about anything.
Even the "skinny" old man lying on the ground didn't make any more sarcastic remarks.
because,
They are not available;
The reason why there is no time is that the Gu insect's IQ may indeed be a bit low. When Fan Li opened and closed the lid, its anger value should have been perfectly attracted by Fan Li, or perhaps, after it It seems that Fan Li's big body and strong blood are what he likes most.
Therefore,
With the Gu insect taking over his body, the swordsman walked up the steps, knocked open the lid, chased Fan Li, and ran out of the cellar.
finally,
The old man couldn't help but sigh:
"Oh... dear messenger of God... his appearance was really timely... as if he had been squatting in the corner next door..."
"Ah."
A Ming was also a little bit dumbfounded, but it was undeniable that Fan Li had indeed saved both of them.
He walked to the cellar steps and replaced the lid.
The old man sat up with some difficulty and looked at A Ming sitting on the steps.
asked;
"will not leave?"
"Leaving doesn't mean it's safe."
"I said... there is a tunnel under the bed..."
"That was a lie to me. If so, you should have escaped by yourself when you sensed my arrival."
"I'm sorry...I thought we were all going to die at that time...so I wanted to make you happy again before I died..."
"very good."
"Are you waiting for reinforcements...except for the stupid big guy above..."
"Correct."
The old man reached out and stroked his throat a few times. He seemed to feel that talking like this was too tiring and inconvenient, so he started to crawl towards the water tank.
When he reached the water tank, the old man climbed up with difficulty, picked up the gourd, and drank the blood.
"Don't you want some?" the old man asked A Ming.
"I have better blood in my private collection." A Ming said, "The blood of ordinary people has a sour smell."
"Your life is really good." The old man said with some envy, "Unlike me, who hides here and there, you are powerful here, right?"
Being able to wait for rescue here instead of hurriedly escaping with him is obviously a great reliance.
"Pingxihou Mansion, have you heard of it?"
"I've heard of it, of course I've heard that the new Marquis Mansion of Dayan is located to the east of Wangjiang River. It's his decision."
"Ah."
"Could it be..."
"Ah."
"Your master is Lord Pingxi?"
"..." A Ming.
Although what the old man said is true,
Although I am used to calling Zheng Fan "Lord" on weekdays,
But when he had just released the forbidden curse, he felt like he was "back to his old age".
Suddenly called and identified like this,
In my heart,
It's really uncomfortable.
but,
Uncomfortable is uncomfortable,
A Ming still nodded,
Road:
"Correct."
"Oh my God, my dear fellow Oriental people, you actually have such a huge backer. Look at my eyes, can you tell how full of envy you are?"
A Ming was noncommittal.
Not long after,
There was the sound of horse hooves outside.
And then,
The cellar lid was knocked again, but A Ming did not open it.
above,
Fan Li's voice came:
"The King of Heaven and Earth Tiger!"
A Ming didn't answer.
immediately,
The voice of the sword maid came from above:
"Is it down there?"
A Ming then opened the lid.
Outside, a group of sergeants stood.
A Ming came up and asked Fan Li to lift the old man up.
The swordsman's body was smashed at the door, by Fan Li.
Perhaps he was being chased by the swordsman and couldn't escape. Fan Li finally struck back and smashed the swordsman.
Only then is it clear,
This swordsman is no longer the swordsman before, he is very weak.
After coming out, A Ming looked at the captain who came to meet him and asked:
"What's your name?"
"As far as Mr. Hui Ming is concerned, my humble surname is Xiao, and my name is Xiao Heng."
"Ah."
A Ming didn't ask which "hang" it was. He just asked casually and then forgot about it, giving the young captain a little joy and hope.
immediately,
A Ming ordered;
"Go back to the Marquis Mansion."
.........
In the Hou Mansion, everything is as usual.
The tribes in the snow plains are extremely peaceful and busy fighting each other, doing business, and selling slaves;
On the Chu side, the door is also wide open. As long as war horses can be traded, my uncle will not impose a salt and iron embargo on the Hou Mansion.
Of course, this approach of the Pingxihou Mansion is to a certain extent to support the enemy, but both sides are actually for development and each gets what they need.
this day,
In the pavilion of Xinghua Garden,
Liu Ruqing was playing the piano,
Opposite there sat a cow,
Surnamed Zheng.
Marquis Zheng could not say that he knew nothing about the sound of the piano and the level of his skills, but he could only get a rough idea. He mainly held the ice drink in his hand and sipped it while admiring the charming beauty in front of him.
Si Niang is busy on weekdays.
The princess is actually quite busy. Sometimes she has to help Siniang, and sometimes she has to deal with the envoys from Chu by herself;
When Mr. Zheng has free time, he likes to soak in Liu Ruqing's yard.
Because this woman is very supple;
So supple, just like when she was in front of Si Niang.
Although she has been picked by herself many, many times, her shyness has not faded away at all. Hidden under her beautiful eyes is the temptation to refuse but to welcome her.
From now on, it is true that the king does not go to court early.
Fortunately, Mr. Zheng's mind is very clear, and he understands that the storm is coming, and the day when he will leave the Hou Mansion and enter the capital is getting closer.
Preparations in all aspects have actually been carried out to a great extent.
Liu Ruqing finished the song,
get up,
Serve tea to Mr. Zheng.
But Mr. Zheng reached out and hugged her into his arms.
In broad daylight, the universe is clear,
Liu Ruqing was extremely shy, but she could not and did not dare to break away from the Marquis's hand. In the end, she had no choice but to throw herself on the Marquis, blowing her red lips on the earlobe of Marquis Zheng,
whispered:
"Uncle~~~~"
Mr. Zheng is a bit superior.
Liu Ruqing bit Mr. Zheng's earlobe.
murmured:
"Uncle, let your niece go~~~"
Zheng Fan felt that he was so drunk that his bones were brittle.
However, at this moment, Xiao Yibo’s voice came from outside:
"Master Hou, Mr. Ming would like to see you."
In an instant,
Lingtai Qingming.
Zheng Fan let go of his hand and Liu Ruqing got off him.
get up,
Spread your arms,
Liu Ruqing stepped forward to help Zheng Fan sort out the details of his clothes.
After finishing, Liu Ruqing slowly took a few steps back.
Zheng Fan smiled and left the small courtyard.
in the lobby,
A Ming and Fan Li were sitting.
There was another box at the end, which was opened. When Zheng Fan passed by, he saw an old man in black clothes looking around nervously.
When I saw Zheng Fan,
The old man immediately spoke;
"Oh, I smell the true aura of nobility, the guidance given to me from the depths of my blood. You should be the guardian of Jindong, the master of my fellow people in the East, the great and supreme Marquis Pingxi.
Please Lord Marquis,
Accept my respect and worship,
From your loyal servant Cahir. "
Zheng Fan looked at A Ming,
Road:
"I haven't seen this tone for a long time."
A Ming didn't answer, Fan Li nodded first,
"Yes, I feel the same way."
Zheng Fan sat down at the main seat, pointed to the box, and asked, "Didn't you go to the Tianduan Mountains to pick new flowers?"
"If we return to our Lord, my subordinates will meet Ali and the others on their way back..."
A Ming told the whole story without hiding anything.
Because after thinking about it, there is no need to hide it.
After listening,
Zheng Fan immediately grasped the key point,
"You said you relied on him and used the forbidden spell?"
"Yes, my lord."
Zheng Fan nodded and said, "Then this old guy is still a treasure."
In terms of strength improvement, even though Mr. Zheng went to Liu Ruqing to listen to the piano before, he really never slacked off and practiced swordsmanship every day. At the same time, he also went out to practice several times during this period.
But the realm of the sixth grade has never been loosened.
In the words of a sword master, the sixth to fifth grades are actually the span from master to master. In addition to martial arts routines and qi and blood cultivation, a completely different temperament must be cultivated.
These words,
Lord Zheng can understand.
Not only can I understand,
He can also make up more appropriate explanations and metaphors for you based on this theme, or central idea, which makes it even more confusing than what the Sword Master said.
Can be biased,
Can't do it.
This damn realm...
As for,
A Ming leaned on the old man and released the forbidden spell. Although it was a small one, it was undoubtedly a way.
As for whether A Ming found a way to break away from himself by relying on this old man, and whether it would become a way for the demon kings to no longer be completely bound by him, and even lead to rebellion or something.
Zheng Fan didn't think about that at all;
Because there is no need to think about it. Now everyone is actually doing things that they are interested in and playing. As the master, he has always been sitting in a position recognized by them.
Who wants to leave?
Then just go, no one will really stop you.
under these circumstances,
In addition to magic pills,
The other demon kings actually don't have the subjective initiative to kill their master.
Oh.
one left……
Zheng Fan cast his gaze on Fan Li.
Fan Li scratched his head innocently.
"A Ming, settle him down."
"Yes, my lord, this subordinate understands."
"Oh, the great and supreme Marquis Pingxi, please allow me, the humble one, to once again express my infinite gratitude to you as..."
Zheng Fan frowned slightly.
Fan Li stood up and walked forward,
"boom!"
Cover the box back.
"Does he always like to speak in this tone?" Zheng Fan asked.
A Ming replied: "Actually, when his subordinate used the forbidden spell, he was at first disdainful, then disbelieving, then shocked, and then constantly gasping for air;
Well,
This feeling,
not bad. "
Zheng Fan pointed at A Ming,
Road:
"The style is low."
A Ming nodded with a smile and said, "But it's really cool."
"Ha ha ha ha."
"Ha ha ha ha."
Zheng Fan and A Ming laughed together.
Just laugh,
Zheng Fan said: "There are a lot of savages and Chu people who are fleeing these days. Go over there and let me know. There should be no shortage of fresh blood. You should take good care of him. By the way, take good care of him as well."
When I enter Beijing this time, I will take him with me. "
"Lord, the departure date is not far away, and he may not have time to recover."
"Then get him a separate carriage and keep it on the carriage. I don't believe that he won't meet bandits or martyrs from Jin on the road."
"Yes, my lord, my subordinates understand. However, my lord, do you think there will be any big move in Beijing this time?"
At this time,
Fan Li next to him suddenly laughed.
"Ha ha ha ha!!!!"
Zheng Fan and A Ming both looked at Fan Li.
Fan Li smiled and stopped laughing. He pointed at the box and kept gasping. Then he amused himself again and couldn't help but laugh again.
Zheng Fan shook his head and said:
"Ali."
"Ah, Lord, I am here."
"If you can allocate some of your energy from pretending to be stupid and use it to do things, maybe you can even make a magic crystal cannon for you."
"..." Fan Li.
Zheng Fan looked at A Ming again,
Road:
"I always have a hunch that this visit to Beijing will not be ordinary, but it is not convenient to mobilize troops and horses."
First, the troops in the Hou Mansion are just enough.
It doesn't matter if you temporarily allocate [-] or [-] cavalry to do something, but if you want to allocate [-] cavalry to Yanjing, the stall here is a bit thin.
Second, even if you have enough troops, what do you want to do with your troops to Yanjing now?
Come to think of it,
I don't want to be granted the title of Marquis, but I just want to sit on the dragon's throne?
Marquis Zheng has always had a good habit, like a squirrel piling up pine cones before winter comes;
When there are no masters, pile up troops;
When there are soldiers and horses, gather experts;
In short, it’s about safety.
This time we go to Yanjing. Since we can't bring troops and horses, the more experts the better.
Even Xu Chuang, the swordsman who came down from Wenming Mountain, was still locked in the dungeon, and Zheng Fan planned to give him a chance to regain his freedom.
"The situation in Yanjing is definitely focused on maintaining stability. No one can mobilize the army to do anything, but I still feel uneasy in my heart.
This kind of emotion didn't exist at all the last time I entered Yanjing. "
"My Lord's sixth sense, my subordinates still believe it."
"Well, this time, the blind Liang Cheng and Gou Moli will stay behind to guard the house. The rest of you will follow me."
"Subordinates obey!"
"I obey!"
"Ah."
Fan Li helped A Ming carry the box to the ice cellar.
Zheng Fan sat alone in the front hall for a while longer, stretched out his hand, and gently rubbed the center of his eyebrows.
From the earliest businessman named Winter in Hutou City and his husky,
And now the old vampire Cahill;
A picture scroll from the West gradually became three-dimensional in front of Lord Zheng.
Right now,
Another emotion of relative longing gradually emerged in Zheng Fan's heart. Before that, he wanted to visit Jiangnan, the country of Qian, but now, there is another one who wants to visit the west.
Not to see the ocean horses,
Rather, I simply want to experience the local customs and customs there.
Perhaps now that I am really in a high position, I understand some of the previous words more clearly.
For example:
I come, I see, I conquer.
Conquest comes last because it's really just incidental.
"Lord."
At this time, the blind man walked in.
"Well, blind man, you missed the true love that A Ming brought back."
"Haha, I have heard a little bit about this, but I have more important things to tell you, Lord."
"If it's the accounting or account books, you and Si Niang can just take a quick look at it, and I won't read it."
"No, it's a letter from Yanjing."
"Xiao Liuzi's letter?"
"Yes, but not only."
"Oh? Who else is it?"
"There are four letters in total. Xiao Liuzi's letter came through his own caravan channel, and the other three letters came through the inn."
Take the inn,
It is definitely unsafe, because the Secret Service will investigate some letters. No matter how good the paint is, it will be useless. There must be a forger expert in the Secret Service to restore it for you.
At the same time, even if you find that your mail has been viewed, what can you do?
Go and file a petition to impeach the Secret Service under Wei Zhonghe for violating your privacy?
in fact,
Not only was the Hou's Mansion established, but when Xuehaiguan was still the Earl's Mansion, there was already a lot of communication between the mansion and the outside world, and after the Hou's Mansion was established, it reached a peak.
Internal information processing, various residential settlements and various military garrisons in the basic area of ​​​​Jindong, from people's livelihood to commerce to military and then cultural aspects, etc., documents can be piled up every day.
Marquis Zheng knew how to handle it. When he was taken to the commander's tent by Lao Tian, ​​he also handled all the affairs in an orderly manner. However, when he was at home, he completely delegated power to the blind four mothers and others.
In addition, there are also communications from many tribes in the snow plains, as well as communications from the Chu State court and major forces secretly communicating with Qu Kuan;
Correspondence with Jin officials, Yan court officials, etc...
Therefore, you need an extremely excellent staff team to help you deal with it. Fortunately, Zheng Fan has it.
"My lord, one letter is from Xiao Liuzi, one letter is from Wei Zhonghe, one letter is from Zhao Jiulang, and one letter... is from Lu Bing, who has just been transferred to the post of Shaoqing of Honglu Temple.
Lord,
Which letter should you read first? "
Wei Zhonghe's message was not written by Wei Zhonghe himself, but the secret agent contacted the Hou Mansion in the form of official documents. Similarly, Zhao Jiulang's message was in the name of the cabinet, and Lu Bing's message was in the name of Honglu Temple.
But the three seals, taken together, obviously mean a kind of momentum before the mountain rain.
"Let's listen to Xiao Liuzi's letter first."
"My Lord values ​​friendship." The blind man flattered him.
"I just think this thing is the least important."
"Haha, the Lord is right. In the letter, the parents are all short-tempered. They are talking about their two children who are about to be born and his current life. To my subordinate's surprise, there is no metaphor this time.
perhaps,
There is no metaphor, which is the best metaphor. It means that it is time to put away other thoughts, stop laughing and joking, and prepare... for the final blow. "
"Where are the other three?"
"What the cabinet means is that it wants to consult the princes' opinions on the selection of officials by the imperial court to enrich the governance of Eastern Jin Dynasty; the Secret Intelligence Department asked us to increase our tribute to perfumes, especially Fengyoujing. Honglu Temple slightly criticized us, We shouldn’t meet with the Chu envoy in private, at least we should give Honglu Temple some face and go through the motions.”
Zheng Fan nodded,
Road:
"This is a reminder to me that they are paying attention to me."
"My subordinates think so too."
Zheng Fan chuckled,
Road:
"It just so happens that I have never forgotten them."
……
Yongping four years,
The fourth day of July,
end of summer heat;
The west gate of Fengxin City is wide open.
Guards of honor opened the way, and people lined the road to see each other off.
Lord Pingxi,
According to the emperor's edict,
Set off for Beijing!
------
There is another chapter tonight, don’t panic!
