Start with ten consecutive summons and create the Eternal Dynasty

But he knew Lu Wushuang's character.

If he paid attention to her at this moment, she would definitely take the opportunity to test him.

Less trouble is worse than more trouble.

He was too lazy to play tricks with this cheap cousin who had ill intentions, so he snorted coldly and closed his eyes and pretended not to see it.

Seeing that Lu Fan ignored him, Lu Wushuang was immediately annoyed.

"This guy is really difficult to deal with... No wonder even Gu Tiefeng was tricked by him. Forget it, why bother with him..."

Thinking of what Old Wu warned her, Lu Wushuang tried to calm herself down.

Lu Wushuang's performance was seen by Jiang Shang and Li Si, and the two couldn't help but laugh secretly.

They knew Lu Wushuang's identity, and they could see that this Princess Pingxi was not as simple as she seemed.

But they were not so repulsive.

After all, Princess Pingxi's identity was not simple. Behind her was the King of Zhenxi, one of the four great princes of Daqian, who controlled 300,000 Zhenxi troops.

If the King of Zhenxi can be made to surrender and support the lord, then...

After a while, Lu Fan and his companions returned to the County Governor's Mansion under the escort of a hundred Zhenbei Army soldiers.

After Lu Fan got off the carriage, Miao Huai came to Lu Fan and clasped his hands:

"Your Highness, I will go back to report!"

Looking at Miao Huai who was about to leave, Lu Fan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile:

"General Miao, how long have you been in the Zhenbei Army?"

"Uh!" Lu Fan's question surprised Miao Huai, but he still answered honestly: "I have been in the Zhenbei Army for twenty-three years and served as a captain of a thousand men in the army."

"Twenty-three years is a long time, but the position of a captain of a thousand men is a bit unfair to you."

"Your Highness, you..."

Miao Huai didn't understand what Lu Fan meant, and wanted to ask immediately, but Lu Fan interrupted with a smile:

"Are you interested in continuing to serve as the defender of Hanyang City and the county lieutenant of Hanyang County?"

When these words came out, Miao Huai was stunned.

The county governor is the highest official in a county. Below the county governor is the county secretary, and below the county secretary is the county lieutenant.

The county lieutenant controls the military power of a county, governs all patrol guards and city guards, and also has some legal powers.

Compared with the county lieutenant, the position of the thousand-man captain is far, far inferior.

Because all the thousand-man captains in Daqian add up to hundreds, while there are only 72 county lieutenants, so it is self-evident who is stronger and who is weaker.

After a short moment of daze, Miao Huai's face suddenly showed an excitement that was difficult to conceal.

"Your Highness, this... this..."

"Hehe, don't rush to agree, go back and think about it carefully, and come to the county governor's mansion to find me when you think it through... Remember, I only give you three days."

After saying this, Lu Fan patted Miao Huai's shoulder meaningfully, then turned and walked into the county governor's mansion, followed by Zhang Qi.

Jiang Shang and Li Si did not rush to follow in.

Jiang Shang glanced at Li Si, who nodded imperceptibly, and walked straight to Miao Huai and said with a smile:

"Whether you are a person or a worker, choice is more important than hard work, and some things cannot be judged by appearance alone."

After saying it almost openly, Li Si followed Jiang Shang into the County Governor's Mansion.

Watching the two enter the County Governor's Mansion, Miao Huai's eyes suddenly showed struggle and hesitation.

He knew that Lu Fan was trying to win him over, and the chips he offered were heavy, but...

Staring at the gate of the County Governor's Mansion for a while, Miao Huai took a deep breath and turned away with a hundred Zhenbei soldiers.

...

"Old Jiang, do you think that guy will agree?"

"If it was before going to the Zhenbei military camp, that guy would definitely not agree, but now... hehe..."

Looking at Jiang Shang, who was in control of his wisdom, Li Si also laughed.

At this time, Jiang Shang suddenly stopped, looked at Li Si meaningfully and smiled:

"Tonggu, your talent and strategy are not inferior to mine, and I am not a narrow-minded person, so you don't need to deliberately lower your status.

Hanyang City is too small, and the northern border is too small. Sooner or later, the lord will rise to the sky, and we will be needed to share the worries and solve the problems.

The more outstanding your performance is, the happier I will be, and the same is true for the lord, so... I have said all, don't blame me for being too talkative."

These words immediately made Li Si blush with shame, and he immediately took two steps back and bowed to Jiang Shang.

"Listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books. Please rest assured, Mr. Jiang, Tonggu will definitely remember what you said today and will never forget it."

"Haha, Tonggu said too much... Let's go, don't keep the lord waiting for a long time."

"Yes, Mr. Jiang!"

When Jiang Shang and Li Si came to the front hall, Fei Yi, Wang Hun, Xiang Chong, and Duan Yu were all waiting here.

"Greetings, lord!"

"Sit down!" Lu Fan nodded to Jiang Shang and Li Si who came in, and then looked at Fei Yi and Wang Hun.

Without waiting for him to ask, Fei Yi and Wang Hun stood up at the same time, and Fei Yi took the lead to clasp his fists and said:

"My lord, the invitation letter was successfully delivered to Li Tianxiong, the head of the Li family, and Sun Shenghu, the head of the Sun family..."

After Fei Yi finished speaking briefly, Wang Hun followed and said: "My lord, Zhao Tiansheng, the head of the Zhao family, also accepted the invitation letter and clearly stated that he would come to the banquet early tonight..."

After Fei Yi and Wang Hun finished telling the details of sending the invitation letters to the three major families, Lu Fan pondered and thought.

Tonight he planned to confront the remaining three major families directly.

Either surrender or die!

Originally, his idea was to take it step by step, but after destroying the Wang family, he temporarily changed his mind.

When there is no absolute strength, it is natural to take it step by step.

But at the moment, he was not afraid of the three major families, so there was no need to waste time.

Of course.

More importantly, he felt a sense of urgency after discovering the batch of armaments in the Wang family's treasure house.

If the problems of the three major families were not solved, Hanyang City might face internal and external troubles and be attacked from all sides.

Thinking of this, Lu Fan took a deep breath and said to Xiang Chong and Duan Yu:

"Xiang Chong, Ji Ming, you should immediately send a message to Shubao Jiquan to close all the city gates tonight, and let all the patrol guards and Hanyang garrison troops be on standby with weapons and wait for the king's orders at any time."

At this point, he paused and continued:

"Also, let Gong Ran bring fifty people... Forget it, let Gong Ran come back alone."

Hearing Lu Fan's arrangement, Xiang Chong and Duan Yu immediately knew that there would be a big move tonight, and immediately stood up and saluted with great excitement.

"I obey your orders!"

After receiving the order, the two hurried away, and Lu Fan looked at Zhang Qi and continued:

"Zhang Qi, the task of the five of you tonight is to guard the Princess of Pingxi without leaving her room. Don't let her and Wu Wei leave the room. Just say it's my order, understand!"

"I obey your orders!"

"Li Si, Fei Yi, Wang Hun, the three of you will lead people to keep an eye on the Li family, the Sun family, and the Zhao family tonight. If they have any unusual movements, send someone to report immediately without any delay."

"I obey your orders!"

With no one available, Lu Fan could only let the three counselors go together.

Fortunately, these three guys have a certain level of cultivation, which is enough for them to lead people to follow.

After a quick arrangement, only Lu Fan and Jiang Shang were left in the front hall...
