Step on a branch

Chapter 157
It wasn't until the sun turned to the west that the two elders came out of the imperial study one after another.

Compared with Taishi Huang's calmness, Fan Taibao looked sad.

Huang Yi just happened to be on duty, now he changed into his bodyguard clothes and prepared to go back home.

When I saw two old people, I wanted to step forward to help them.

Taishi Huang commanded him: "You can just support the Taibao, the old man is fine."

Huang Yi listened to his grandfather's arrangement.

The three of them walked on the palace road.

Huang Taishi looked at Fan Taibao's appearance, and persuaded him: "It's still just forming an array and not confronting each other. Why is the Taibao so worried? How can I put it this way, they all followed the late emperor from the troubled times, so don't make it look like you have never seen the world. You went to the Thousand Steps Corridor with this sad face, didn’t you frighten people?”

Fan Taibao raised his hand and rubbed his face vigorously.

The teacher's words are very reasonable.

They are close ministers of the emperor, no matter what they face, regardless of whether they are empty or not, they must be confident on the face.

His experience can be considered rich, he has seen all kinds of situations, but this time...

He is indeed guilty.

"Since Lin Xuan left, I haven't had a serious fight with Xiliang people for more than ten years," Fan Taibao sighed. I sent it later, and I was so hesitant..."

Grand Master Huang said with a smile: "If the people of Xiliang were really capable of conquering Feimenguan, they would have entered it long ago. According to me, it is the spies who were caught by us. They are not convinced. As a countermeasure, they might retreat immediately."

"Not necessarily," Fan Taibao said, "Nanshu has to be defended. If the two of them join forces, we will suffer a big loss if we can withstand it."

"The Taibao just loves to worry too much," Taishi Huang comforted him, and said, "The boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge. I believe our soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty can resist it."

Fan Taibao shook his head with a broken smile, and said to Huang Yi, "Listen."

Huang Yi said: "Grandfather has always been full of confidence in Da Zhou."

After sending the two old people back to Qianbulang, Huang Yi pondered for a while, then turned to Chiyiwei Yamen.

Lin Fan was busy packing up the paperwork.

Huang Yi poured himself a cup of tea and sat down.

"Go to the border," Huang Yi sipped his tea, "I don't even know if I should say I envy you."

Manly man, who doesn't want to make contributions?

Huang Yiyuan is not so well-behaved, otherwise, he would not have practiced martial arts when he was young and became a royal guard when he grew up, but would have been honest to study and take the imperial examination.

There was a grandfather who was a grand master, and he was easier to walk than others in a serious official career.

But he doesn't like it himself, he prefers to dance with knives and guns.

Fortunately, he is a young grandson, and he has been allowed to go with him since he was a child, and his character has not been twisted by the family.

Lin Fanhe smiled.

Huang Yi looked around, making sure that his words would not be heard, and said: "In the afternoon, my grandfather and Lord Taibao discussed with the emperor for a long time. Grandfather looked very confident, but Taibao was very worried."

Seeing Lin Fan cast a sidelong glance at him, Huang Yi carefully chose his words, and said in a tangled way: "The emotional differences between the two are too great. Although my grandfather has such a temper, I can't tell for a while. Self-confidence, Mr. Taibao is too worried."

Lin Fan listened to what Huang Yi said without saying a word, but did not answer.

It wasn't until the matter at hand came to an end for the time being, and the yamen came to an end, that he invited Huang Yi to have a drink.

On the second floor of the pharmacy, Lin Fan closed all the windows.

Seeing him so cautious, Huang Yi's eyebrows twitched with veins.

Could it be that grandfather's self-confidence is due to his overly optimistic personality, and Fan Taibao's sad face is the real situation represented by this war?
Thinking about it this way, the food and wine on the table will not taste good in an instant.

Huang Yi didn't even move his chopsticks, and sat upright, ready to listen to Lin Fan's important matters.

Lin Fan asked: "How did Ma Gui get caught, do you remember?"

Huang Yi nodded: "I invite you to go to Pingjiang Tower to buy porridge together."

"Because the Grand Master wants to eat porridge."

"What's the problem?" As soon as Huang Yi said that, he fell silent.

Don't think about it, of course there is no problem, but Lin Fan's question made Huang Yi couldn't help but start to think about what else happened.

"Grandfather is not a person who pays attention to appetite," Huang Yi said slowly, "Even if he suddenly wants to eat porridge, he will ask his servants to buy it instead of me."

Lin Fan said: "The old grand master wants me to go, he knows that Pingjiang Tower can lead Ma Gui out."

Huang Yi looked solemn: "You mean, grandfather knew about the situation of spies in Xiliang, Beijing, so he turned a corner and asked you to catch them?

It is not uncommon for the grandfather to be in a high position and to know something that others do not know.

It is very common to find out the secret work and find out the other party.

Why didn't he just say it directly, but still go around in circles with you?
Is he bad at explaining the source? "

"The old grand master is really difficult to explain." Lin Fan sat down and said with a low voice, "He has connections with Xiliang and Nanshu."

Huang Yi stood up in astonishment, and looked at Lin Fan in disbelief: "What do you mean? You said that grandfather...is impossible! Grandfather is loyal to Da Zhou and the emperor. I am his grandson, and I am only loyal to you. I would never doubt him about that."

"What's the hurry?" Lin Fan made a gesture of "sit down" to Huang Yi, and said, "If the old grand master is not loyal to Da Zhou, I will still tell you these things here?"

Huang Yi sat down with a sullen face.

Yes.

If his grandfather had turned to foreign enemies behind his back, Lin Fan would not have said a word to him, and would have collected evidence and handed it over to the emperor.

"If someone hadn't contacted the news, Xiliang's response would not be so fast," Lin Fan explained, "Ma Guicai was found out a few days ago, and we didn't even check it out. Xiliang marched eastward."

Huang Yi understood the truth and said, "That may not be grandfather..."

"If you really want to clarify the evidence, I'll go to interrogate Ma Gui like this, but once it comes out of his mouth, I can't cover up for the old grand master before the emperor." Lin Fan paused, and said, "You used to In general, the old grand master admires the emperor very much, and the stability and development of the Great Zhou Dynasty after the establishment of the dynasty is the emperor's achievements.

The inside is thriving, only the outside, since my father passed away, has not been pushed.

The old grand master should be thinking that with our current strength and reserves, it is enough to attack Kexiliang from the west. If the emperor doesn't take the initiative, let him fight passively.

I don't need to tell you these inside stories, I just went out with the old generals.

It's just that I'm worried about the old master's overconfidence.

This time the Marquis of Yongning fell ill and lacked a backbone. This battle is not easy to fight.

You try to persuade the old master, you can't become a fat man with one mouthful, let's face Xiliang and kill a horse thief, this is the limit.

He must stop, and don't drag Nan Shu in with him.

Otherwise, it would really be a hatchback, and Da Zhou couldn't stand it. "

　There are a lot of chores in my life recently, and I have to go out to do errands all the time, which affects my time.

　　I try to keep the update time as stable as possible.

　　See you tomorrow.
