Devil’s Advent

Zheng Fan was sitting by the creek, holding a handful of melon seeds he had grabbed from the wine table in his hand, spitting out the peels into the scarlet stream while nibbling.

After finding out that Sister Ting was still alive, Zheng Shoubei suddenly felt much more comfortable, and his previous depression, confusion, and fever seemed to be much better.

Even the sound of soldiers of the Jingnan Army stabbing corpses one by one in their ears was not so piercing.

Are you used to it?

Oh no, probably numb.

It's such a fucking world,

Zheng Shoubei suddenly regretted it in his heart,

If you didn't decide to come out of Hutou City to do things, now everyone will stay in Hutou City:

A Ming brews wine, Fan Li chops firewood;

Blind men do fortune-telling, Xue San tells storytelling;

It seems good to be a rich man by yourself, accompanied by his wife every day, at least you don't have to experience these things, and you don't have to see these things. It's not that you're afraid, it's just that it's annoying and disgusting.

But it seems that this is not something I can choose. If I really choose to be an ordinary person down-to-earth, I would probably have died in that civilian camp. Iron cavalry, let's crush it again.

If they were lucky, the desert wolf who came to look for food tomorrow morning might be able to pick up a slightly more complete piece of meat that belonged to him.

Blind man, you said that meat eaters eat human flesh, but what you mean is that they didn't blink when they ate the flesh of low-level people;

Damn, now they eat their own family's heads, and they eat them with fucking relish.

Although rationally, Zheng Fan is also clear that Jingnan Hou uttered the sentence "The overthrow of the Great Yan clan started from the Tian family." The courage to break new ground.

But to be honest, Zheng Fan felt that he might not be able to do this in his life.

If it is really necessary to do that, then this life will be so boring, what are you trying to do?

Figure out my love for Dayan and my loyalty to Ji Xing's royal family?

"What are you thinking about?"

Du Juan's voice sounded from behind Zheng Fan.

Zheng Fan coughed and said:

"I didn't think about anything."

"After tonight, I'm afraid no one in Beijing will talk about your abolition of the third prince."

Heh, Marquis Jingnan worked hard enough to prevent me from being in the headlines.

"yes."

After tomorrow, the news of Jingnan Hou's self-destruction of his family will quickly spread throughout the capital, even throughout Dayan, and even throughout the four eastern countries.

"Master Hou is not easy." Du Juan said.

"But Lord Hou doesn't need to be pitiful." Zheng Fan said.

"Hehe, it seems that you men understand men better."

"Sister Du Juan is joking, the humble official has only indescribable admiration for Lord Hou."

"I can hear it, this sentence is not flattery."

"That is."

"Your Majesty has orders."

Zheng Fan froze for a moment, then knelt down on one knee,

"The final general will obey the order!"

"Order Zheng Shoubei to return to Beijing tonight to enter the palace to face the saint."

"ah?"

"Tell the sage on behalf of Benhou: the head has been opened."

"The general obeys orders!"

After getting up, Zheng Fan pointed to his face with some puzzlement, and said:

"Sister Du Juan, I think that I have had enough opportunities to perform recently, and I should give more opportunities to other paoze, so that everyone can get along better in the future. It is not good for me to always eat alone."

Nima, I just beat the emperor's own son as Wei Gonggong's godson during the day,

Now you let Lao Tzu come to Beijing to face the saint?

You don't bring overnight overnight?

"Master Hou told you to go, so you go. In the Jingnan Army, no one dares to question Master Hou's military orders."

Du Juan's words seemed a little cold.

After all, she was born as a female spy of the Secret Service Division. Even if she just became a daughter-in-law of someone else's family, she has not lost her old job.

"Just kidding, just kidding."

"You don't have to be afraid, you are someone that Lord Hou values, Your Majesty, I won't do anything to you."

"Yes, I understand."

Of course you are not afraid, as soon as you pass through the door, your father-in-law and mother-in-law died suddenly, you are so beautiful.

Of course, he only dared to think about this in his heart, Zheng Shoubei really didn't dare to say it out loud.

Without seals and documents, Zheng Fan put on this armor, stepped on his horse, and left the farm.

Another thing to be thankful for is that Zheng Fan didn't kill anyone in Yayuan before, so unlike other soldiers of the Jingnan Army, the armor on his body was washed layer by layer with blood.

If that's the case, the blood on my body will freeze when the evening wind blows in this winter, and I will be baked by the heat from my body from time to time,

Hiss, the inside smell...

After riding the horse out of the field house, Zheng Fan found that the road ahead was blocked by darkness.

Here, there is an army!

Because it was night, the line of sight was limited, but when Zheng Fan approached, he concluded that the army in front of him was no less than 3,000 in number, and there should be soldiers and horses nearby.

After approaching, the opponent's sentinel came over on his own initiative,

"Who is coming?"

"Guarding Cui Liu Castle in Yinlang County, Dayan, Zheng Fan."

"See Mr. Zheng."

The two sentry cavalry saluted Zheng Fan, and Zheng Fan returned the salute.

Immediately, a sentry cavalry went to report first, and Zheng Fan, led by another sentry cavalry, passed through the area with almost no obstacles.

This is... the Jingnan Army.

The Marquis of Jingnan brought more than a thousand troops with him when he entered Beijing this time, they were obviously the soldiers who arrived later.

Continue to ride the horse, and after about an hour, Zheng Fan came to the south gate of the capital.

The gate of the city had already been closed, but at the gate of the city, there was an imperial army guarding it, not on the tower, but under the city wall.

When Zheng Fan approached on horseback, the forbidden army stepped forward to stop him.

"Who is coming?"

"Cuiliu Castle in Dayan Yinlang County is guarding Zheng Fan."

Soon, a large hanging basket was lowered from the tower.

Zheng Fan got off his horse, got into the hanging basket, and was pulled up to the city wall by his superiors.

Before Zheng Fan could ask any more questions, a guard captain led Zheng Fan downstairs, pointed to a horse that had been prepared there, bowed his hands to Zheng Fan and left without saying a word.

"Ah……"

Is your name so resounding?

Or, do you know that no one dares to pretend to be yourself at this moment?

Or, tonight's password is "Zheng Fan"?

Of course, this is just a conjecture with a bit of evil in his heart. In fact, what Zheng Fan knows better is that the person in the palace is clear about what will happen in the farm today.

The sentence that Jingnan Hou asked himself to pass on, "The head has already been opened".

It is clearly like two brothers with a clear division of labor, supporting each other.

It means I'm done here, it's your turn.

Of course, the decision to go home and destroy the family could not be the result of Hou Jingnan finding out at the dinner party that the food did not meet his taste and wanted to destroy the family in a fit of rage;

There must have been a charter in mind for this matter.

And the reason for going to trouble with the third prince during the day is even simpler.

I'm going to destroy my whole family. It's not too much to waste a son like you, right?

I didn't kill the third prince, but abolished him. This is probably more in line with Jingnan Hou's purpose of venting his anger. The method is more ruthless, and it is more venting than killing him.

In this way, I was really instinctively licked by Blind Bei and the others, knowing how to make the person I need to lick more enjoyable.

However, that His Majesty in the palace is also ruthless enough, knowing that there will be a catastrophe in the field tonight, he sent his queen back to visit her relatives.

But this seems to be a deep and euphemistic way for the emperor to express his love, so that his wife can have the opportunity to go back and see his parents for the last time?

But Xiaoliuzi can feel more balanced, his second brother's mother clan was also wiped out, and his father and emperor didn't favor one another, they all let Jingnan Hou lead the troops to destroy them.

It is impossible for outsiders to find out about this messenger who "has a heavy responsibility" and "is concerned with the fate of the country" at this time.

When riding a horse all the way from the south gate to the gate of the imperial palace, what kind of outrageous things were in his mind?

It's just that Zheng Fan himself doesn't know why he is thinking about these things, probably, it is to relieve the tension in his heart.

Although there is a high probability in my heart that this His Majesty is a hero, the hero generally has a habit of not caring much about his son.

But what if?

What if Emperor Yan doesn't take the usual path?

There is only one life for him.

This is Zheng Fan's first visit to the Imperial Palace of Yan State. Fortunately, it is not difficult to find. When planning the capital of later generations, he will also pay attention to the height of the buildings near the Forbidden City. In this Yan State Capital, no matter where you stand Orientation, with a glance, one can know the direction of the palace.

The imperial guards at the gate of the palace stepped forward to interrogate Zheng Fan,

Zheng Fan reported his position and name again,

soon,

A hanging basket was also put down at the gate of the palace.

Generally speaking, heavy cities have at least two floors, the inner city and the outer city. In fact, the imperial palace itself bears the defensive effect when it is designed.

This is not used to defend the rebels or foreign enemies outside the city. Generally speaking, after the outside army invades the capital, it is basically equivalent to the end of the situation. No matter how well the defense of the palace is built, it is meaningless.

However, the defensive nature of the imperial palace can well avoid small-scale rebellions and rebellions from the capital.

After going up in the gondola, this time, Zheng Fan had no choice but to ride a horse.

Down the palace gate tower,

Zheng Fan found an old acquaintance waiting for him here.

In fact, he doesn't look very familiar, but along the way Jingnan Hou said several times that he would introduce himself to his department,

at the same time,

This big man said to himself very seriously during the day today:

Our family remembers you.

Zheng Fan swallowed subconsciously, turned his head and quickly glanced at the closed palace gate behind him. At this moment, he actually had the illusion that a beautiful woman entered the palace and was separated from his life and destiny by a palace wall.

"Zheng Shoubei, our family has been waiting for you for a long time."

Wei Zhonghe held a whisk in his hand, and gave a slight salute to Zheng Fan.

Familiar voice, familiar temperament, plus the image attached to him by generations of factory directors in film and television works.

"Your official Cuiliu Fort is guarding Zheng Fan, see Eunuch Wei!"

"Hey, it's only been half a day since I've seen you, why did Mr. Zheng become so formal again?"

"After all, the lifeblood is in your hands, eunuch."

Eunuch Wei pinched the orchid with his left hand, pointed at Zheng Fan, and said:

"Naughty."

Immediately afterwards, Eunuch Wei said again:

"In the palace, what is most lacking is a smart person like Mr. Zheng."

"..." Zheng Fan.

"Your Majesty is still waiting in the Imperial Study, Mr. Zheng will come with our house."

"It's the first time entering the palace, please ask your father-in-law to lead the way."

"You're welcome, let's go."

Zheng Fan has seen Eunuch Wei's foot speed before.

And this time, Eunuch Wei seemed to be deliberately running out of time, so his speed was so fast that he was obviously walking, but Zheng Fan had to run to barely keep up with him.

After running for about half a stick of incense, Eunuch Wei suddenly stopped, and Zheng Fan naturally also stopped and began to pant.

"Master Zheng, be gentle first, lest you offend His Majesty when you meet the Holy Spirit later."

"Thank you, Eunuch."

The two began to walk forward evenly, and passed a small garden, which was not that big, similar to the imperial garden in the Forbidden City. Almost impossible.

The Imperial Study Room is behind the garden, separated by a small pond. After passing through the corridor on the pond, Eunuch Wei signaled Zheng Fan to wait outside, and went in by himself.

The feeling of a palace with a master and a palace without a master is completely different. Standing at the door at this time, Zheng Fan really felt a little cold.

When you were in primary school, you beat your deskmate Xiaopang, and now your deskmate Xiaopang's father is waiting for you in the teacher's office.

Well, of course, the above situation is not bad, if you change it to: When you were in elementary school, you eunuch Xiaopang at the same table, and now the father of Xiaopang at the same table is waiting for you...

Shaoqing,

Eunuch Wei came out and said to Zheng Fan:

"Come in, Master Zheng."

Zheng Fan walked in,

In the imperial study room, the lights are not very bright, it seems that the emperor likes this slightly dim style, Zheng Fan turned right after entering, and saw a person sitting behind the table, wearing a traditional Yan people's robe, but with gold trim, The specific appearance is not so real, and Zheng Fan doesn't have much time to observe closely.

"Chen Cui Liu Castle guards Zheng Fan, see Your Majesty!"

After waking up for more than half a year, he traveled north and south, tossed a lot, and finally met the supreme leader of Dayan in a daze.

At the bonfire party in Green Willow Castle at night before, Zheng Fan and the blind man often boasted with a cigarette in each hand.

The Emperor Yan and the Marquis of Zhenbei were obviously singing about the double reed, and he and the blind man had already figured it out, but now it was a good thing, there had to be another Marquis of Jingnan.

I don't know what kind of courage and charm this Emperor Dayan has, which can make the Northern and Southern Marquis completely believe in him, and is willing to stand on the same front with him.

"Zheng Fan?"

Yanhuang whispered, as if slowly chewing on the name.

Zheng Fan knelt on the ground, the anxiety when he came here before suddenly became very calm at this moment.

It's like you panicked before the exam, but after the papers are handed out, you don't have the heart to panic anymore.

"Who sent you here?"

The tone of Yanhuang's speech was casual, not like an emperor, but like a lazy man, with a natural temper for having to work overtime at night to deal with government affairs.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Marquis of Jingnan sent his ministers over."

Zheng Fan is not very clear about the format of the match between the monarch and his subjects. Before today, he was just a garrison in a border town and fortress, although now, he is just a garrison.

"explain."

"The Marquis of Jingnan has a word for His Majesty."

"continue."

"The head is ready."

"oh."

Zheng Fan couldn't guess too much from the word "oh".

"Queen, are you okay?"

Yanhuang asked, as if you were sitting on the threshold of your house with a bowl to pick up rice, and your neighbor's second uncle happened to pass by your door and asked if your parents were okay?

"Report to Your Majesty, the Empress is well."

If I hadn't stopped it in time, the empress might have been killed by the red-eyed Jingnan army.

But Zheng Fan didn't dare to take credit for this, and he didn't even dare to say it.

God knows whether the emperor was relieved or unhappy after knowing that his queen was safe and sound?

There was an example in front of me before. The Jiedu Envoy of the Qian Kingdom must have been very happy after learning that his wife who was born in a Silver Armor Guard had died, right?

"Zheng Shoubei, do you have words?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have a rough background and have no words."

"That's good, we Yan people don't need to learn the polite manners of the Chinese people, Zheng Shoubei, in the past six months, you have appeared on my copybook several times."

"The minister is terrified."

"Rescued the prince outside Zhenbei Hou's mansion, stormed into Huaiya Academy in Yinlang County and took down Qian State's secret agents, four hundred solitary troops went deep into Qian State's territory and broke Mianzhou City.

Alas, I am old, I am old, the world from now on will belong to you young people. "

"Your Majesty is in the heyday of Spring and Autumn, and my Dayan is in the midst of the prosperity of the country. The carriage of Dayan still needs a helmsman like Your Majesty to guide the direction."

"Helmsman, direction?"

Emperor Yan smiled,

road:

"Isn't Zheng Shoubei from Beifeng? Why, have you seen the sea?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I heard about it from the merchants in the Western Regions. The merchants there often travel across the sea to do business."

"Oh, it's a pity, I, Dayan, can't see the sea yet.

By the way, Zheng Shoubei, you were born in the North, but you are valued by the Marquis of Jingnan. I am curious, are you from the Marquis of Zhenbei or from the Marquis of Jingnan? "

"I am from Yan, I am a subject of Your Majesty!"

"Hehe, although it's a lie, it sounds comfortable."

"..." Zheng Fan.

"Isn't that right Your Majesty, although I just met Zheng Shoubei today, I can be sure that Zheng Shoubei is a smart person."

"It's a pity, Wei Zhonghe, he is from Jingnan Houdian, you, Wei Zhonghe, have no chance to take him as a son."

"How dare you, how dare this slave dare to rob someone with the Marquis of Jingnan. I can only say it's a pity, this slave didn't meet Zheng Shoubei sooner."

"You eunuch, if you want to take the seeds of a general like Zheng Shoubei into your own hands, don't you want to learn from that Lieutenant Yang of Qianguo to lead the troops and go out to fight?"

"Hey, even if this servant has eaten the heart of a bear, he wouldn't dare to have such a rebellious thought. Your majesty knows it, your majesty knows it!"

The emperor chatted with the steward,

Zheng Shoubei, who was kneeling below, was dripping with cold sweat.

"Kangdang..."

At this time,

A silver token was thrown in front of Zheng Fan,

Zheng Fan stretched out his hand to take the token in some astonishment.

Yan Huang's voice came:

"This is a pass token to freely enter and exit the Huxin Pavilion."

"Huh?" Zheng Fan was puzzled.

"I heard that you and Cheng Yue are destined, if you have time, you can visit him more for me."

Thanks to idle thinking for becoming the 73rd leader of "The Devil Comes".
