The next day after returning from the palace, Ning Fan ran away.

The capital was too dangerous to stay for long.

When Ning Fan left the capital with a carriage of gold, silver and jewelry, the princes who invested in Ning Fan received the news, and then they were all stunned.

A few days later, in the northern border, Zhenbei Palace.

After Ning Fan arrived, he rushed here directly. He had an edict in his hand, which was given to Zhenbei King by Emperor Tiande.

The general idea was that Ning Fan would stay in the northern border temporarily and wait for another dispatch in the future.

Ning Fan had to hand over this edict to Zhenbei King, so after returning, he didn’t even go to the military camp, but came to the palace.

After Yang Xiao finished reading the decree, his eyes were deep.

But then, he laughed: “Okay, it’s good to stay. The North is your home. If you don’t go home, where can you go back to?”

“Ning Fan, tell me, where are you going?”

The North is very large, with six counties.

“My Lord, how is the war on the front now?” Ning Fan thought for a moment and asked.

The front refers to the area outside Qianren Pass.

Yang Xiao waved his hand: “It’s not too difficult. After you went to the capital, my Zhenbei Army took action. It’s just a matter of time to take back the city.”

“The 500,000 troops of Beimang have already gone back. That prince, huh, is not the opponent of my Zhenbei Army, so it’s only a matter of time to retreat.”

Yang Xiao is very confident.

He has been fighting against Beimang for many years, but he is still in a good position facing a mere 200,000 troops.

Although more than 20 cities were occupied by Beimang, they were all empty cities. It was meaningless for Beimang to defend them at all costs.

Therefore, Beimang’s retreat was imminent.

“I want to guard the area outside the Great Wall!”

Ning Fan said seriously.

His answer surprised Yang Xiao.

The area outside the Great Wall was a dangerous place. Every year, it had to face the harassment of the Beimang army. The population was small, the grain production was low, and the environment was not comparable to other counties.

The only profit might be some merchants who secretly traded with Beimang to make money.

But would Ning Fan dare to do that?

He had destroyed the Beimang royal court. Those guys in Beimang wanted to skin him alive, let alone trade with him.

So Yang Xiao was still very surprised after hearing this.

“Okay, after we recover the Guanwai County, I’ll hand it over to you. You’ll be the county governor and take charge of all affairs outside the Guanwai. In addition, I’ll assign you another 3,000 elite soldiers.”

“The rest depends on you. You’re allowed to recruit 10,000 soldiers.”

Yang Xiao nodded. He felt that he couldn’t refuse.

“Thank you, Your Highness, but I’ll recruit the soldiers myself. The elites in the Zhenbei Army all have their own leaders. If you suddenly give me 3,000, I’m afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among others.”

Ning Fan directly rejected Yang Xiao’s kindness.

3,000 elites, if it were anyone else, they would drool.

But Ning Fan didn’t dare to ask for it.

He wanted to develop his own power. If these 3,000 elites came, wouldn’t they be real spies? In the future, there would be no secrets about his details.

Yang Xiao’s eyes condensed slightly, and suddenly he smiled and agreed to Ning Fan’s request.

Half a month later, the war was finally over.

The Beimang army retreated, leaving behind more than 20 destroyed and devastated cities, and took away a large amount of wealth. The battle of Guanwai County alone was definitely a great achievement!

However, the destruction of the Beimang royal court cast an indelible shadow on this great victory.

After the army retreated, Ning Fan was appointed as the governor of Guanwai County, dispatching all affairs of more than 20 cities in Guanwai County, and the power was in his hands alone!

Afterwards, the people and merchants who had originally fled back to the pass came back one after another.

The houses in the city were not completely destroyed, so under the order of the King of Zhenbei, they recovered quickly, and it took only ten days to be as good as before.

Everything seemed to have returned to its original state.

It’s just that Guanwai County now has very few troops. In addition to the 800 Great Snow Dragon Riders, there are only the hundreds of soldiers and horses led by Zhang Ganzhouyun.

There is no need to worry about the Great Snow Dragon Riders, and Zhang Ganzhouyun is also following his old subordinates and can be trusted.

Ning Fan still chose to stay in Ancheng for a simple reason. He had many things to do if he stayed here, such as revenge for the extermination of the clan!

A heavy snow came without warning.

The snow outside the pass was very heavy. It snowed for three days and three nights. The snow was one meter thick, and the county outside the pass fell into silence.

Fortunately, Ning Fan had purchased food in advance, which was enough for the entire county to survive the New Year.

King Zhenbei

Mansion.

In the meeting room, Yang Xiao sat in the main seat. In the center of the hall, a large cauldron was burning red charcoal. This kind of charcoal has a high temperature and is resistant to burning. Ordinary people don’t have the money to buy it.

“Father, Ning Fan has now recruited 3,000 soldiers. Now they are all in the barracks and have not been trained.”

Yang Qingyun, who had not been seen for a long time, stood in the hall and spoke in a deep voice.

3,000 soldiers!

It was as if they appeared out of thin air, which was confusing.

You know, Guanwai County has just been rebuilt. Although some of the people from before have returned, how many people are there?

“This Ning Fan… has some ability.”

“Just keep an eye on him.”

“It would be best if this man could be recruited into the Zhenbei Army.”

“I asked Ning Fan before. He broke into the royal court by chance, and he also accidentally got a poison for warriors, which allowed him to break into the royal court.”

“Even so, he will be a great general in the future!”

Yang Xiao thinks highly of Ning Fan.

“By the way, did you gain anything from this trip to the capital?” Yang Xiao raised his eyelids and continued to ask.

Yang Qingyun laughed immediately: “The gains are not small. The things that my father asked have been done almost. Moreover, our old emperor has done something earth-shattering!”

“He actually wants to make the father of the demon concubine Liu Yueru a king of a different surname. Tsk tsk, father, you don’t know how crazy the court in the capital is!”

When these words came out, even Yang Xiao couldn’t help but be stunned.

Make the father of the demon concubine a king of a different surname?

Hiss, this old emperor is really courting death!

At present, there are internal and external troubles. In this year, several places have already rebelled.

Now, in order to please the demon concubine, he even has to open up the court taboo of the king of a different surname again?

“The court was filled with righteous indignation, and used my father and other four kings of different surnames as counter-examples, but the old emperor didn’t listen and even beheaded two officials.”

“Now, this matter has intensified. I think there must be someone behind it.”

Yang Qingyun continued to laugh.

Yang Xiao laughed coldly: “Make a fuss, the bigger the better!”

“It’s almost the New Year, and we have to give this majesty a big gift!”

“Keep doing what you were told!”

“Remember, be high-profile!”

Yang Qingyun nodded, with a bit of madness in his smile.

Ancheng.

Ning Fan looked at the six-winged golden cicada in front of him, which was shining with golden light, and grinned.
