Chapter 406: Get up
The princess’s motorcade arrived faster than expected.
Originally, Xue Customs sent a team to escort them, and they were expected to protect the county master who was camping out overnight tonight.
After all, Emperor Yan did not have a princess, and the princess was equivalent to the most noble woman in the second generation, the real golden branch.
But the princess obviously did not camp and stay in the wild. Instead, she arrived outside the Snow Pass late at night.
There is no way,
Since people are here,
there must be regulations and rules.
Uncle Zheng is a refined egoist. He doesn't mind doing some superficial work if it can eliminate some troubles.
Furthermore, the most important point is that everyone now knows that Uncle Ping Ye is the favorite general of Marquis Jingnan.
But when it comes to Zheng Fan's background, this princess was his first boss.
However, because Mr. Hirano's subsequent performance was so outstanding, the princess has been nailed as a negative example because of this incident.
Because the messenger sent the news before that the princess came in a private car, so Uncle Zheng did not wear official uniforms or armor, just ordinary casual clothes, and it was already dark at night. It was cold, so Si Niang helped buy a cloak.
The soldiers on both sides had lined up early, and since it was late at night, the Snow Customs was relatively quiet and there were no crowds of people. The only thing that could be heard was the gurgling sound of wheels slowly approaching.
The carriage stopped in front of Zheng Fan.
Zheng Fan cupped his hands and said:
"Zheng Fan, the commander-in-chief of Snow Customs, would like to say hello to the princess."
Kneel down, there is no need to kneel anymore;
After a few years of hard work, After fighting in the south and the north, what you want is not to have a few less people to kneel down?
However, as for the posture, it doesn’t matter if it is a little lower.
This is just like the large number of school captains in Beifeng County. Everyone seems to be a school captain, but they can always be divided into three, six or nine according to the number of soldiers and horses under their command and their backgrounds.
According to the background of the princess,
even Zhao Jiulang, the prime minister and assistant of the dynasty, had to be polite to her.
The carriage curtain was opened,
Zheng Fan originally thought that a maid would poke her head out to deliver a message,
But unexpectedly,
it was the princess Li Qian herself who generously opened the curtain,
smiling at Zheng Fan standing in front of the carriage and said:
"I'm a troublesome guest. I hope you won't be upset."
Look,
Listen,
How knowledgeable and sensible this is!
It’s not the same tone that I used to ask you coldly why you don’t want to be a servant of my Li family.
In the final analysis, face is earned by one’s own ability.
“It is an honor for the general to have the princess come to our Snow Customs, so why bother?”
The princess skipped Zheng Fan's eyes, looked behind Zheng Fan, and said:
"Uncle Pingye, I have a military situation here, please come to the house to discuss it quickly."
After that,< br>
The princess put the car curtain back.
Military information?
Zheng Fan didn't believe it.
If there is indeed a military situation, the soldiers and horses that our side had sent to escort us would have sent people to pass it over in advance. No matter what, riding alone would definitely be much faster than a horse-drawn carriage.
However, this reason directly blocked what Zheng Fan planned to say next, such as having prepared a house for the princess to rest.
Zheng Fan glanced at the blind man standing next to him, who sighed and nodded.
As soon as she comes, she will be at ease.
Zheng Fan also had a smile on his lips and stepped out of the way.
The princess wants to go to her mansion, okay, come on.
This Xue Customs, after all, has a surname of Zheng. As a host, Uncle Zheng still has some confidence.
The princess's carriage started to move forward, and Zheng Fan followed. He happened to see an old man holding a sword following the carriage, and the old man was also looking at Zheng Fan.
The carriage goes ahead,
Zheng Fan naturally came together with the old man.
Actually, Uncle Zheng refused. After discovering the old man, Uncle Zheng immediately shifted his attention and planned to stay a little behind, trying to stay as far away from this swordsman who could wield a second-grade sword.
After all, even if the magic pill is with him, he is still a sixth-grade warrior, but at such a close distance, if Uncle Qi wants to kill him, it will be easy.
But you want to hide, but people still insist on coming to you.
Uncle Qi took the initiative to walk up to Zheng Fan, bowed his hands and said:
"Uncle."
"Uncle Qi, why are you doing this? You are really too ignorant."
"My uncle's cultivation talent really puts this old man to shame. In just three years, Time has actually reached the level of a sixth-level warrior. "
When I first met Zheng Fan, Zheng Fan had just begun to practice the path of a warrior. It had only been three years and he was already at the sixth level.
Some people are actually rough jade. They are buried in the rocks at first and do not show at all. But once they are dug out and polished a little, they become crystal clear immediately.
I think back then, Uncle Qi even had the idea of accepting Zheng Fan as his disciple, and he was sure that he had expressed this intention. However, at that time, Zheng Fan only wanted to go back and reunite with the demon kings as soon as possible. I have no intention of staying as an apprentice.
Think about it now,
I really made the right choice back then.
This is not about the powerful army that I have now, but just imagine, if I worship the seventh uncle As a teacher, if you learn martial arts from him, don't you also have to practice the sword of Lao Shizi for the rest of your life?
In Uncle Zheng’s opinion, this move can be called “pretend once in a lifetime” sword technique,
There is even a high possibility that accidentally it will turn into a swordsmanship that "can't be faked even once in a lifetime".
"Uncle Qi is so complimentary."
"Why are you sweating?" Uncle Qi asked.
"The virtual fire must be strong these days."
"My uncle is young and should pay more attention to taking care of his body."
"Thank you, Uncle Qi."
"I have long heard that Yu Huaping, the sword master of Jin, is here with me? I have been obsessed with swords all my life, but I want to meet this master sword master, and I hope my uncle can introduce me to him?"
“Yes, the Sword Master did fight against the enemy with me on the Snow Pass, and jointly dealt with the savages, but when the savages fought, After the defeat, the sword master went out to travel.
He did come back to visit me sometimes and come to have a drink with me, but he left the next day after drinking. He is now at the Snow Customs. Or in the snowfield or in Yingdu, I don’t know.”
“That’s a pity.”
"Uncle Qi, don't worry. I will introduce him to you next time I see him."
"Thank you, uncle."
"Uncle Qi, you are welcome."
Not long after,
the princess's carriage drove into Pingye Bo's Mansion, and Zheng Fan immediately made arrangements to prepare for the reception.
Zheng Fan himself sat in the small hall and waited.
Uncle Qi stood opposite and did not sit down to drink tea. He just stood there. He seemed to be used to it.
Uncle Zheng picked up the teacup and took a sip of water.
To tell the truth,
With Xiaoliuzi’s previous letter,
When Uncle Zheng faced Uncle Qi, he felt really nervous.
As the saying goes, when the book is put to use, the regret will be less, and the same is true for martial arts.
Not long after, the princess came out soon. She was wearing a long black dress, full of oriental elegance.
One thing to say, the princess is indeed beautiful.
So, Uncle Zheng also somewhat understood why the Savage King was so beastly at the time. It was most likely that the princess had already developed the embryonic form of a beauty at that time.
"Your Highness, what's the military situation?"
The princess did not sit in the front seat in the middle, but sat down opposite Zheng Fan, which was equivalent to the front seat being completely empty.
Hearing Zheng Fan’s question, the princess immediately laughed,
said:
“Uncle, it’s true. You also know that this is a joke on my part. Why are you taking it seriously now?”
"Princess, don't be surprised. The world only knows that you have no jokes. In fact, there are no jokes in the army. The princess should understand this truth."
After all, you have led soldiers and fought in battles. You know it. Making fun of military affairs has serious consequences.
The princess stood up, gave Zheng Fan a slight blessing,
said:
"Yes, Qian'er knows her crime, and please forgive me, Uncle Hirano."
"Princess, you..."
The princess immediately smiled again, sat back on the chair, looked around and said:
"I am really curious about what the Hirano Mansion is like. The weather is indeed well-deserved when I see it today.”
“Haha, the princess is joking. I have just moved into this mansion, so where does it get its reputation?”
“Why not?” Hirano’s mansion was built in the north of the city, adjacent to the North City Gate, just as Hirano himself said. , Zheng's heroic spirit in guarding the country is truly admirable
Back in the desert, Qian'er had wanted to take in Uncle Hirano as a servant, but now every time she thinks about it, she feels embarrassed on her face.
I can only blame Qian'er for being blind and failing to recognize the talented person. Qian'er is here to apologize to Uncle Hirano. "
The left sentence is Qian'er and the right sentence is Qian'er.
It makes Uncle Zheng feel uncomfortable.
The princess lowered her arrogance so low, just like It's like two people singing together, but your partner has lowered the tone too much, and you have to force yourself to cooperate with her. It's really difficult.
Zheng Fan reached out and rubbed his forehead. He did not answer the princess's words. He just smiled helplessly,
looking at the princess,
said:
"Your Highness, I, Mr. Zheng, am a rough man and a bastard. So, what do we have to say? It’s better to get straight to the point.
If Her Majesty is really just coming to my snow customs to enjoy the snow, although winter has not yet entered and the heavy snow has not yet arrived, white snow should have appeared in some places deep in the snowfield. If it's frosty, the general can send someone to escort the princess to enjoy the snow;
If the princess has anything else to do, you can talk to the general and if it can be done, the general will definitely work hard to do it for the princess. "
" What Uncle Hirano said is really true. This time I came, firstly, without the ministers accompanying me, and secondly, without the father-in-law who announced the decree. It was just because something happened recently and I wanted to go out for a walk. It seems that relaxing is really troublesome for Mr. Hirano. "
Zheng Fan nodded,
said:
"The Chu people over Zhennanguan are not very peaceful now, and the general is worried about this these days. , I also ask the princess to forgive the general for not entertaining me well. ”
"Of course the military affairs are important. In fact, I really don't have anything to worry about here, Uncle Hirano. I just walk around, look around, and enjoy myself.
It's convenient for you and me."
"So..."
Zheng Fan stood up,
turned his hands to the princess and said:
"In this way, after the war subsides, the general will come again to ask the princess for improper hospitality."
"Uncle Hiranye's words are serious. Chu Nu is arrogant and dares to start another provocation. I ask Uncle Hiranye to teach him a lesson." them."
"The west house of the mansion has been prepared. Your Highness the Princess is obviously tired from traveling eastward. Please have a good rest."
"Thank you, Uncle Pingye."
Zheng Fan walked out into the small hall.
The princess's people moved into the West House under the arrangement of the Earl's Mansion.
In the room,
the princess sat on a chair,
the three maids began to search up and down, after confirming that there was no secret passage or secret room. Then he bowed and left.
The princess and Uncle Qi were the only two people left in the room.
The princess took off her hairpin and let her long hair fall, and said at the same time:
"Uncle Qi, you can see that our uncle Hirano is really afraid of you."
Uncle Qi smiled.
The princess added:
“I can’t believe that the relationship between Xiao Liuzi and Zheng Fan is so good. He obviously communicated with Zheng Fan about what happened that night. .”
"Yes." Uncle Qi nodded. Obviously, he thought so too.
"That day outside the mansion, Zheng Fan rescued Xiao Liuzi. That should have been their first meeting. Uncle Qi, do you think there is such a strong relationship in this world?"< br>
“I can’t say for sure, but His Highness the Sixth Prince told Uncle Hirano about that night, which is enough. It proves that the relationship between them is much better than we previously expected."
What happened that night, the princess is really not afraid of what Xiao Liuzi will use to assassinate the prince. It must be a serious crime, but the fact that the prince can predict the queen's death in advance is actually even more terrifying.
When both sides have the handle that can kill the other party, the so-called handle is actually not that important anymore.
"This Zheng Fan has hardened his wings after all. What I can give him now, Marquis Jingnan can also give. Even if I can't give him now, Marquis Jingnan can still give him.
With Tian Wujing as his backer, he really has the confidence to be on an equal footing with me, a woman who has been away from home for a long time.
Enjoy yourself and be free.
He agreed so readily that he seemed to be on guard.”
“So, Miss, I think tonight, We still don’t want to do anything. The situation is going to change anyway, so we might as well wait and see which way the wind is blowing.”
"What Uncle Qi said is that right now, there are two things that need to be done. One is to trouble Uncle Qi to visit this mansion more from tonight.
The other is, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I'll try this Mr. Hirano's price again. "
When talking about business, there must be some in and one out.
As for the Zhenbei Army in Jin, let’s not talk about Li Fusheng’s department. The soldiers of the Zhenbei Army where Li Bao’s department was originally located;
Giving it to the imperial court is a gift,< br>
Giving it to the Marquis of Jingnan is also a gift,
It’s better for the Li family to set up a stage there. As long as the income is sufficient, who can give it to someone else?
It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to send it away anyway. After all, these two are very different from the one led by Li Liangshen. That is, unless the King of Zhenbei comes forward in person, the soldiers and horses of these two towns will be destined to be far away from Zhenbei. The palace is getting further and further away.
……
“I have two things to tell you.
The first thing is, San'er..."
"I am here, but I have neglected my duty. Please punish me. "
" After finding out, the focus is on the workers who helped build the underground cell in Earl's Mansion. Not surprisingly, some of them should have leaked the news. "
"Yes, my subordinate will catch that fly immediately. ”
Espionage work is sometimes so helpless. When you want to develop a desired population, it is often a comfortable period for those spies to be active.
Immediately afterwards, Zheng Fan looked at Siniang again and said:
"Did Tiantian bring it out?"
"My lord, it has been arranged in advance, but the Shatuo Queshi The coffin has not been relocated.”
“Let’s just put it there first. Don’t let anyone sleep tonight.”
“Yes, my lord. ”
...
It was late at night, and the princess had already washed herself, sat on the edge of the bed, and
lay down slowly.
In a coffin under the back house of the Earl's Palace,
a majestic figure of a man,
Slowly, he sat up from the coffin.

My condition today is not good enough. I will try to write more tomorrow. Good night everyone. (End of this chapter)
