Chapter 444 I scold myself
Although Chen Daxia’s swordsmanship is not as advanced as that of the Sword Master, it can still be regarded as a master’s degree.
So, since Chen Daxia said that the sword maker is here, then it must be the sword maker.
Uncle Zheng was getting up to leave when two men walked up from the second floor.
The leader, dressed in a white robe lined with a jacket, really has a noble and noble attitude;
Otherwise, in this era, those who dare to wear white clothes when going out are basically either rich or noble;
Because poor families don’t like to wear white clothes for fear of getting dirty and spoiling things.
Behind the man in the long robe, followed a man with long flowing hair. He had a handsome face, and his image carried a romantic and uninhibited atmosphere that Chu people loved.
Instinctively, Uncle Zheng noticed that people were coming.
If you leave now, you will easily attract attention.
And Daxia Chen seemed to finally understand that he had misunderstood the meaning and seemed to have made mistakes.
Chen Daxia feels that he cannot blame himself for this matter, because when he met Zheng Fan several times before, he was clearly arranged by Zheng Fan and the blind man;
Therefore, Chen Daxia is an honest man. When I met Uncle Zheng this time, I simply decided not to think twice.
Anyway, they can calculate it clearly and arrange it properly.
But this time, it seems not.
Zheng Fan's first impression was that the man in white robe was the sword maker, because he was walking in front, and the man behind was obviously half a body behind, which represented a kind of respect.
How should I put it,
When Uncle Zheng himself walked with the Marquis of Jingnan, he also had the same posture as the man behind him.
However,
when Daxia Chen held his sword, stood up, looked at the man behind him, clasped his fists and said, "I've seen you, sir", Uncle Zheng realized that the man behind him was The long-haired man is the sword-maker of Chu, one of the four great swordsmen.
For a moment,
Uncle Zheng's heart suddenly skipped a beat. There were very few people who could make the four great swordsmen stand behind them.
Li Liangshen of Yan State would take a step back when the Emperor of Yan and the two princes of the North and South were present. The Baili Sword of Qian State would only give face to the official family of Qian State. The swordsman of Jin State now seems to be No one is too lazy to give face to anyone. Even if they go out with themselves, the two brothers will be together. Platoon;
Chu State...I think only that one person can leave the sword maker behind, because apart from his identity as one of the four great swordsmen, the sword maker's own Dugu clan is also a member of the Dugu clan. A great aristocrat of the Chu State who stood side by side with the famous Qu family in the past.
It can be said that even if he is not a sword-maker, he does not need to give too many people face in the Chu Kingdom just because of his family background. Plus his status as one of the four great swordsmen, it is even more serious.
It is said that this sword maker has a too free and easy personality. Earlier, the sword maker was cheering for the eldest prince of Chu, and then he ran to cheer for the third prince inexplicably. In the end, he stood beside the fourth prince without any reason. Just behind the regent.
No one knows whether he has already reached some kind of tacit understanding with the fourth prince in private, because there is no need to delve into this matter. After all, no matter which prince comes to power, he needs to win over him, and he can definitely Play freely.
Unlike Chen Daxia, who was a tough guy who would first bypass the "main seat" to greet the sword maker at the back when they met, Uncle Zheng stood up and saluted the white-robed man first.
The ceremony uses dry ceremony.
Uncle Zheng is a person who pursues details very much, so it is impossible for him to make mistakes in this kind of thing.
The man in white robe smiled slightly, very reservedly;
Immediately, without even saying hello, he took his seat, followed closely by the sword maker.
A square table sat exactly four people.
The man in white robe pointed at Chen Daxia and said to the sword maker: "Is this Chen Daxia?"
Chen Daxia nodded and said: "It's me."
The sword maker seemed to have heard about Chen Daxia's temperament a long time ago, and he did not feel dissatisfied at all when he confessed. Instead, he smiled and said: "I have heard of Chen Daxia's name when I was in Chu State. Maybe twenty years later, the new one will Among the four great swordsmen, when Baili Sword retreats, what will happen? Master Chen can take the lead."
Uncle Zheng felt that this sword maker was really good at talking. No wonder he became the only one among the four great swordsmen who had never made a move and had no record to rely on. Yu Huaping praised the one who forced his way to the top.
Immediately afterwards, the sword maker looked at Zheng Fan again.
This man's eyes are very pure, truly pure without any impurities, as if he can see through your heart.
However, Zheng Fan is not worried that his true identity will be discovered, such as his martial arts skills, because the red stone that Xue San got from the meteorite last time became the new home of the magic pill. And when Zheng Fan put the red "magic pill" on himself, the blind man's mental power could not get close to him at all.
To be on the safe side, Zheng Fan went to the Sword Master who lived next door to try it out, but got the same result.
In other words, the magic pill with a new shell has the ability to hide the breath that Superman imagined.
This is why Uncle Zheng has the confidence to live in Fan Mansion, and at the same time, he only needs to focus on dealing with the princess in the royal palace.
Those real masters do not need to reach the level of Sword Master. They are basically at the fifth or sixth grade, or even the seventh or eighth grade. As long as they are more sensitive to the breath reaction, they can detect whether you are practicing or not. Family son.
So, Zheng Fan, who was sitting in his seat at this time, could face the gaze from the sword maker calmly.
"This, I guess, is Master Yao's apprentice a few years ago, Mr. Su Mingzhe, right?"
Zheng Fan was about to speak,
Daxia Chen said directly:
"Yes. ”
Zheng Fan stood up and saluted again:
"In front of you two, I don't dare to call you sir. You two can just call me Mingzhe."
The man in white robe smiled and said:
"As expected of Master Yao. The disciple’s self-cultivation is really impressive.”
One is the sword-maker of Da Chu on the surface,
The other is himself,
Although the regent's identity was not revealed, he knew that not just anyone could remain calm in front of him.
Zheng Fan's calmness at this time, in the eyes of the regent, was the so-called "everyone's style".
They would not have expected that the person sitting in front of them was Uncle Pingye of Dayan;
He was a man who had faced the Emperor of Yan, the Marquis of Zhenbei, and the Marquis of Jingnan, and had experienced The general in battle.
This cannot be said that they are stupid, but Uncle Zheng himself has never thought of it. He just wants to treat Chen Daxia to a meal, and by the way, he deceives others and makes them treat him as his after giving gifts. The bodyguard escorted him home, but while he was eating the meal, the regent of Da Chu and the sword maker actually sat on it.
The small Zui Feng Tower,
at this moment,
actually accommodates several giant Buddhas at the same time.
Zheng Fan reached out and pushed the letter that Master Chen had taken out and placed on the table towards the Regent, and said:
"This is the letter that the master asked the junior to send."
The Prince Regent spread his hands,
The swordmaker took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it over, asking the Prince Regent to wipe his hands first.
Immediately, the regent opened the envelope carefully and took out the first piece of paper inside. This was a poem, which was about Yao Zizhan who led Yao Zizhan to serve as the governor of the three sides of Daqian. Eight hundred riders left the city The scene during hunting;
The upper part of the poem describes the grand scene of soldiers and horses closely following the governor when he goes hunting.
The lower part expresses a feeling of being unwilling to accept old age but still eager to make contributions. ambition.
The whole poem is grand and heroic.
"Good words, good words."
After reading the words, the regent handed the piece of paper to the sword maker on the side.
The sword maker took it and looked at it. He couldn't help laughing and said:
"Ci is a good word, but Master Yao has been a scholar all his life and does not know anything about military affairs. After all, it is literature. Jia Dahao is able to write passionately and boldly even though he is not good at things.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the sword maker seemed to notice that Yao Zizhan's apprentice was also sitting here. He couldn't help but waved his hands and said:
"I made a mistake, I made a mistake. Mr. Mingzhe, please don't take it to heart."
With his status as a sword maker, even if he sat next to Yao Zizhan, he could still laugh, curse, and joke as equals.
But if you laugh at the master in front of the apprentice, how should the apprentice deal with it?
However,
Zheng Fan just smiled and nodded, and said very freely:
"My master said the same thing. My master said that days are days and poems are poems, because the days are too dull. Only poetry is needed to spice up life;
But if you really live your life as poetry, then the bottom line is Turn it upside down, I haven’t heard of anyone who can survive without eating anything but salt.” Hearing this, the Regent nodded and said, “I have always admired Master Yao’s state of mind and unrestrainedness.”
The sword maker said: "This is more like what the old guy would say."
"The master also said that although the officials asked him to sit in the position of governor of the three sides, what he wanted to do was actually to be a peacemaker, bringing everyone together at the same table to talk. The master said that he did not know how to fight. So I don’t intend to dictate military affairs.”
Hearing this, the sword maker sighed: “He should live to understand.”
< br>The regent said: "I have learned a lesson. It is said that when the Yan army entered Shangjing City and attacked Shangjing City, there was a Yan envoy who entered Shangjing City to meet with the officials of your Qian Kingdom;
That person The messenger said in front of your official that he did not know how to fight;
This made your official very angry,
He immediately ordered the soldiers and horses from the three sides not to return for reinforcements;
But in the end, the Yan people were able to hold back the entire Qian Kingdom's soldiers and horses with only more than 60,000 cavalry, leaving the main force of the Yan people at 300,000. The cavalry can easily borrow the road from the state of Qian to enter the Jin Dynasty. "
Zheng Fan immediately said seriously:
"I can only say that the Yan people fought very well in that battle. "
The regent shook his head and said: "It's because you guys cooperated so well. ”
As the regent of Da Chu and the de facto contemporary "Emperor of Chu", he could speak freely. After all, his status was the same as that of Emperor Yan and Emperor Qianhuang.
The sword maker said: "Isn't that envoy the current Uncle Pingye of the Yan people?"
Zheng Fan immediately said: "Yes, his name is Zheng Fan."
< br>The sword maker couldn't help but gloated: "I guess your officials will also regret it. At that time, Because he was just a eloquent envoy, he allowed him to enter the city safely and let him out of the city safely;
Although there has been a rule since Daxia that the two sides will not kill the envoys when fighting, but I feel that the man named Zheng , it should be cut, it should be cut, no, it is worth cutting.
In his country of Yan, there was Tian Wujing, who was in his prime;
When the time came, Tian Wujing was gone, and another Zheng Fan came out to take over Tian Wujing's class.
This kind of general talent is still in the enemy's country, so it is natural that one less one will be missing. "
The regent also nodded and said: "Zheng Fan is a man of literary and military ability. A person who can write "Zheng Zi's Art of War" will definitely be a Confucian commander in the future.
Give him another ten years, and he will definitely take over Tian Wujing’s flag and become a serious problem for our two countries, Chu and Qian.
It's a pity that these generals are from Yan. It would be great if they were from Chu. "
It's coming soon,
Brother,
we will really become a family in a while.
Zheng Fan continued to say generously : "This statement is wrong. When two countries compete, national strength should be the basis for counterbalance. The power of soldiers and armor can suppress it for a while, but it cannot suppress it for a lifetime.
If we, Daqian and Dachu, regulate the people's livelihood internally and prepare for war externally, Yan State, even if it still occupies the land of the Three Jins at this time, will have a two-to-one battle with the richness of Daqian and the vastness of Dachu. Under such circumstances, the younger generation does not think that the Yan people have anything to fear, nor does he think that the so-called Tian Wujing and Zheng Fan can change the fate of the three big countries just because of them. "
The sword maker said unceremoniously: "What the young gentleman said was a bit ill-considered. For example, if you think about it, a while ago, Tian Wujing suddenly raised troops and surrounded Zhennanguan. Nanguan is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The passes are very tight. Although they knew that the Yan people were not good at attacking the city, they still kept sending more troops to Zhennanguan. Why?
Isn’t it because the leader on the opposite side is Tian Wujing.
When on the opposite side, among your enemies, there is a general who is good at making the impossible possible, that kind of pressure, tsk tsk. "
Zheng Fan immediately said: "This junior still doesn't think so. Everything in the world is complementary to each other, and it is difficult to be truly independent. Tian Wujing's greatness lies in the strength of the Jingnan Army's cavalry under his command. Without this elite group, Tian Wujing would be nothing more than a top-notch master in the world.
As for Zheng Fan, I heard that half of his men are barbarians, and they are just relying on these deeds to establish themselves. Without the support of these elite soldiers and generals, what can he accomplish? "
Hearing this, the regent nodded and said: "It makes sense. Wasn't the Yan people also defeated at Wangjiang back then? The strength of the Yan people lies in the northern and southern armies, but not all Yan people. Everyone can be good at fighting. "
This is the regent's recognition of Zheng Fan's words from his own perspective, because what he is doing now is trying to gather the military power of the nobles and try to squeeze their elite private soldiers into his own hands. With expectations, we create a team that belongs to Dachu and belongs to ourselves.
Zheng Fan immediately answered:
"Yes, our Dagan and the Chu State have never lacked talents, nor generals who can fight and integrate. The commander-in-chief, what is lacking is elites who can compete with the second army of Yanguo Zhenbei and Jingnan.
However, the junior feels that it is not too late now. My official family has been working hard in the past two years to organize and train the new army;
Da Chu is obviously doing the same thing,
wait later In the past three years, when the military strategy of Daqian and Dachu took on a new look, I think the arrogance of the Yan people in recent years should have been lost.
Even the younger generation feels that the Yan people today are nothing more than relying on a false fire, and the Yan people are actually already showing signs of being unable to succeed.
It corresponds to the sentence: its prosperity is also rapid, and its demise is also sudden. ”
The Prince Regent smiled, picked up the wine glass, and said, "For these words, I should be ashamed of the little gentleman."
The four of them raised their glasses and drank.
Drank.
"Mr. Su Xiao, it sounds like he is involved in military affairs?"
"I don't dare to be a junior because I am not talented. However, I have always been on the family's staff and often have access to military reports. , and can also help the family teacher to provide advice.”
"Oh, no wonder."
Then,
The Prince Regent carefully put away the envelope and seemed to be planning to leave. He should have come over to see Yao Zizhan's new words. Yes, I just got interested and chatted a little more with Zheng Fan.
What is the purpose of his appearance here incognito? The answer is actually ready to come out.
As the regent and the de facto "emperor" of Da Chu, he could not leave Yingdu with great fanfare to marry his sister when there was a war in Zhennan Pass, but he was As for the brother, it is still possible to come out incognito and take another look at the sister before she gets married.
The most important thing is that his sister just disappeared a while ago, she must have been frightened.
Seeing this,
Zheng Fan also planned to say goodbye to the situation,
The regent stood in front of him, and there was a Chu sword maker next to him. , there must be a group of real Chu State top masters to protect him. This puts great pressure on Uncle Zheng.
Not bad,
Fortunately, the real Mr. Su Mingzhe had diarrhea on the way and could not come over.
However,
just when Zheng Fan was planning to use an excuse to appreciate the magnificent mountains and rivers of Chu,
the regent’s words
let Zheng Bo My heart suddenly fell to the bottom again, and I even felt ridiculous that I was being played by the world:
"Mr. Su Xiao, please come with us to Bieyuan now. After all, Mr. Su represents Master Yao. There are disciples of Master Yao coming to attend the wedding banquet. I think it will add a lot of brightness to the wedding banquet.
This place is far away from Bieyuan. The garden is not far away. Let’s go now and we’ll be there in the afternoon. I can just continue to talk about poetry and romance with Mr. Zheng Fan. (End of this chapter)
