Chapter 85
Fan You quickly kowtowed.

"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance, and it is beneficial to the Qing Kingdom, but it has not been effective yet, so I dare not disturb Sheng Ting lightly."

Emperor Qing looked at Fan You, and for some reason, he suddenly didn't like Fan You, because being too mellow can sometimes be annoying.

Emperor Qing had only met Fan You two or three times, and each time Fan You gave him a different impression.

At least so far, what Fan You has shown is the awe-inspiring righteousness of a loyal minister, the tactful sophistication of a treacherous minister, and the fierceness and determination of a general.

These contradictory traits appeared in one person at the same time, which made Emperor Qing couldn't help but wonder.

If Fan You was too smart, he might pose a threat to the Qing Kingdom and Emperor Qing himself.

Emperor Qing: "Okay, get up, before you come, I have already prepared the training ground for the Kyoto defenders for you, you can go directly to Ye Zhong's side with the imperial decree."

"It's just that if you want to obtain this imperial decree, you need to do a few things for me, how about it?"

As soon as Fan You heard it, he knew that Emperor Qing was going to cheat himself.

However, he is now just a piece of meat on Emperor Qing's chopping board, and there is no room for resistance.

"I would like to do my best for His Majesty!"

Emperor Qing waved his hand impatiently.

"Come on, don't pretend, you are a martial artist, or a ninth-rank, according to the laws of the Qing Kingdom, you can see the saints without kneeling."

"Besides, you don't like kneeling, so don't pretend to kneel when you see me in the future, you're not sincere!"

It wasn't embarrassing for Fan You to be told the truth by Emperor Qing. He didn't plan to play any tricks in front of the old fox like Emperor Qing. The most important thing about a person is self-knowledge. Fan You knew that he was not the opponent of Emperor Qing.

He stood up, dusted off his body casually, and said to Emperor Qing with a smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty, but you are really wrong about one thing. Every time I see you, I kneel down and salute you. It's really not for pretending, but Your Majesty. There is a special energy in you, every time I see Your Majesty, I can't help but want to worship you."

"Maybe, this is the Son of Heaven, right? Your Majesty?"

Although Fan You doesn't know how to play tricks with Emperor Qing, but it's still okay for the key players to flatter Emperor Qing and brag about Emperor Qing.

Even if you are a smart person, you will inevitably like to listen to some good words. This is the nature of human beings.

Emperor Qing also knew Fan You's careful thinking, but he was still happy from the bottom of his heart when he heard these words. His own son was not too rare, but there were very few who had both civil and military skills, and even fewer could reach Fan You's level.

What Emperor Qing didn't know was that Fan You knew about his relationship with Emperor Qing.

Emperor Qing pretended to have a weird expression on his face and said, "Fan You, why didn't you find out that you still have such a brazen side?"

"However, forget it, I don't want to know, I will explain the conditions to you first."

"The first condition, since you occupy the place of the Kyoto garrison, you can't occupy it for nothing, you have to pay."

Fan You immediately agreed.

"Okay! Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will tell General Ye at that time to let the brothers of the Kyoto Defense Division referee. Since it is a martial arts competition, then there must be a referee, right? Anyway, it is in the Defense Division, so let the defenders The brethren are the judges."

"One tael of silver a day for each person, it can be regarded as giving those brothers who are soldiers a chance to make money, don't you think?"

Emperor Qing nodded after listening. It stands to reason that the Jingdu garrison is related to the safety of the capital and would not be used easily. only the army.

Not to mention, seconding the chassis of the Jingdu garrison division to Fan You as a place for a martial arts competition, if someone else consulted Emperor Qing about this matter, Emperor Qing would only give that person a decisive decision.

But after all, he was his own son, and he was still an illegitimate child, so he had to take care of what should be taken care of.

Emperor Qing continued: "Don't worry, I still have a second condition. Among the participants in the Martial Arts Conference this time, I need to find [-] warriors with acceptable military strength and incorporate them into our Qing Kingdom's frontier army."

"Qingguo builds the country with martial arts. Among the people I have invited, there are countless martial arts practitioners! But those who practice martial arts are different from scholars. Scholars have no power to restrain a chicken. After studying for more than ten years, they will participate in the Spring Festival Even if you can't do meritorious service for the country of Qing, you can't do anything harmful to the country of Qing."

"But people who practice martial arts are different. I believe that most people who practice martial arts still have a sincere heart. They want to make contributions to the Qing Dynasty, but they suffer from no way out, let alone the opportunity to enter the military camp."

"This time, I gave this opportunity!"

"In the frontier battle, the frontier army has won successively, and has already occupied a state of Qi. If you want to defend this state, you need people and soldiers!"

"But where did the soldiers come from? Originally, I was thinking of mobilizing troops from various places, but then I thought that since you held this so-called martial arts conference, let's settle this matter together."

After Fan You listened, cold sweat came down his back. It was easy for Emperor Qing to say it, but it was really not easy to find [-] warriors who were capable and loyal to Qing from among the more than [-] people.

Not to mention that they still have to be sent to the border, which is even more difficult!

However, if Fan You does not agree, then this martial arts meeting will definitely be aborted.

Helpless, Fan You could only grit his teeth and agree.

Fan You: "Okay, I will definitely personally face this matter and recruit five thousand soldiers to deliver to Your Majesty!"

Emperor Qing nodded slightly, and threw a token to Fan You with a wave of his hand.

After Fan You took it, he looked it over.

I saw the words on the token - Godsend!
Fan You: "A gift from God?!"

Emperor Qing's eyes suddenly changed!

"Fan You, for these 5000 people, you will prepare armaments, food, and horses by yourself. The deadline is before the Northern Qi mission leaves Beijing."

"When the Northern Qi Division left the capital, it was the day when you sent troops from the camp!"

"The peace talks won't take too long. The divisions who came to the peace talks will arrive soon, and you don't have much time left."

Fan You's face turned ugly again. Fan You had to prepare the equipment and supplies for 5000 people by himself. How is this possible?Even if the entire Fan family is involved, the armaments needed for 5000 people cannot be gathered, and there is still a time limit. The difficulty of this task has increased again!

Seeing that Fan You's face became more and more ugly, Emperor Qing said a word, which made Fan You relax a little.

"Of course, I also know your difficulties. The armor, shields, and weapons used by 5000 people are definitely not enough for you to idle, so I allow you to purchase them from the Kyoto garrison."

"The price will be negotiated between you and Ye Zhong in private, and I will not interfere. Besides, I can really promise you that everyone in Qing Dynasty, except me, can be your choice!"

After hearing these two words, Fan You breathed a sigh of relief. Just recruiting 5000 people already required a lot of effort, and it was as difficult as ever to let Fan You find his own way out to find weapons and armor.

However, if Emperor Qing allowed Fan You to purchase from the Kyoto defenders, the result would be different.

Fan You deeply remembered the famous saying of a certain boss in his previous life, if a problem can be solved with money, then it is not a problem!
Besides, Emperor Qing allowed him to negotiate the price with Ye Zhong himself, not to mention, since the last time Fan You and Ye Zhong fought, Ye Zhong has been thinking about fighting Fan You again.

It's just that Fan You kept finding excuses to delay, so he didn't agree.

This time, Fan You had a reason.

Fan You: "Your Majesty, you just said that everyone in Qing Kingdom, as long as I like it, let me choose? Right?"

Qing Emperor nodded in disbelief.

With Emperor Qing's consent, Fan You hurriedly said: "Your Majesty! Fan You wants Yan Xiaoyi, the commander of the palace guards!"

Emperor Qing didn't react at all to Fan You's answer, as if he had already guessed it.

Emperor Qing said to the side: "Xiao Yi, come out, you will follow Fan You from now on."

When Fan You was puzzled, a soldier in armor and holding a hard bow appeared beside him.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

This person is Yan Xiaoyi. The last time Fan You and Yan Xiaoyi joined forces to fight Sigu Jian, Fan You remembered clearly that he could feel Yan Xiaoyi's aura, but this time he didn't feel Yan Xiaoyi at all. B's breath!
Thinking of this, Fan You couldn't help narrowing his eyes. This Yan Xiaoyi is Li Yunrui's man. If he was to assassinate someone, Fan You could feel it before Yan Xiaoyi shot the arrow. Don't worry anymore.

But now, Yan Xiaoyi was less than twenty steps away from him, and Fan You didn't notice Yan Xiaoyi's aura. This was not good news for Fan You.

After Yan Xiaoyi saluted Emperor Qing, he walked up to Fan You again, with an intriguing smile on his face.

Yan Xiaoyi: "Master Fan, let's meet again."

Fan You looked at Yan Xiaoyi, and for some reason there was a murderous intent in his heart, Yan Xiaoyi's threat was too great, even if he was not careful, he would hurt even the great master.

If Yan Xiaoyi wanted to kill Fan You wholeheartedly, unless Wu Zhu and Jin Lun were there, Fan You would almost certainly die with Yan Yun's Eighteen Riders alone!

Fan You: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Temporarily hiding the killing intent in his heart, Fan You made his own choice, even if he gritted his teeth, he would accept it.

Emperor Qing was very satisfied. He saw the true side of Fan You's heart. Just now, the killing intent in Fan You's heart was only for a moment, and the aura on his body also changed a little at that moment. Emperor Qing caught just this slight change!

Emperor Qing: "By the way, except for Yan Xiaoyi, the eighteen ninth ranks who fought against Si Gu Jian before, let Chen Pingping send them to you later. It's not appropriate to keep your people with him."

Emperor Qing's words directly hit Fan You's vitals!
Chen Pingping said it was resolved, but Emperor Qing didn't believe in Chen Pingping, nor Fan You, he just wanted to believe in himself!

Everything Fan You did was in the eyes of Emperor Qing, including Yanyun Shibaqi.
