Step on a branch

Chapter 196 Gentle
lonely moon.

In the night sky, there was hardly a single star, only the hazy moonlight shining down.

Lin Fan led the horse through an empty town.

This town was one of the four towns that were attacked in the first place.

Dressed up as Xiliang soldiers, the horse thieves rushed in in the middle of the night.

Taishi Huang paid the money behind the scenes. The old man just wanted to set up the stage and didn't want to hurt the lives of the people, so the horse thieves robbed some supplies and came and went like the wind.

This was the case in several towns. The ones that really suffered losses were a few grain storage warehouses, which were completely burned down.

If it hadn't been for Tianming that day, when the Xiliang army was stationed on the west side of Yushakou, and General Mao led people to count the losses of the night, in all likelihood, something wrong could be detected from it.

Xiliang invaded, and the knife was about to see blood.

You can't just burn food, don't slaughter, just grab a few cattle and sheep and leave.

This kind of behavior is too much like a horse thief.

In fact, when Lin Fan arrived at Feimen Pass, General Mao had told him the same.

But all doubts and puzzles were left behind when facing the Xiliang army.

A camp was stationed there, and it looked like it was about to attack, which was real.

General Mao went to Beijing to ask for food and grass reinforcements, and was urged by Liu Ben and others to ask for troops. After several efforts, the current situation has come into being.

Lin Fan quickened his pace.

The town is already empty.

Although no one was killed that night, but now that the people from Xiliang are advancing, the common people retreated back to the pass one after another during these days, no matter how reluctant they were for the sake of safety.

And such a town has become the easiest place for scouts to hide.

It is closer to Feimenguan than Yushakou.

If there is any situation at the Dazhou Pass, they will soon be aware of it.

If you change your outfit and appear in the town, even if you are seen by others, you will be regarded as a simple commoner who is reluctant to leave their homeland.

When Lin Fan and a group of scouts went out to investigate, they had to wander around the town.

If they are lurking in the town, there will be at most one or two people. If they really want to hide, of course they can't find it by walking around like this.

But the presence of Da Zhou's scouts nearby was a warning.

After passing through the town, Lin Fan got on his horse.

In the silent night, the horse spread its legs and ran forward.

In the direction of Feimenguan, torches were lit on the city wall.

The fire in his field of vision became brighter. Lin Fan stopped his horse, lit the fire pocket in his hand, and waved it at the city wall in order.

Then, let the horse slowly go to the pass, waited for a while, closed the door and opened it.

Feng Jing is guarding the pass tonight.

Seeing Lin Fan, he gave a military salute and said with a smile, "I thought you would come back earlier."

"I forgot the time." Lin Fan said.

Feng Jing was not surprised by this.

When I was in the Chiyiwei yamen, the commander had the experience of reading the case file and forgetting the time.

"Before dark, the Marquis of Yongning arrived," Feng Jing said, "I heard that he is still in good health."

Lin Fan knew the inside story and understood the old Hou Ye's illness very well.

This disease won't get better in a while.

Back in the tent, Lin Fan wiped his face, turned around, and saw a wooden box on the desk.

Slender, with some depth.

He took it over and held the wooden box in his hand.

It was very similar to the one Qin Luan gave him before he set off.

"Vice General Qin sent it in person." Fang Tian said.

Lin Fan asked, "What did you say when you delivered it?"

"No..." Fang Tianxia replied consciously, and when the words came to his lips, he felt a little bit meaningless.

He needs to polish and polish without changing the content.

"Vice General Qin didn't look very happy when he came over," Fang Tian said, "He originally wanted to wait for you in the tent, but I reminded him that you won't be back until the third watch, so he got up and left.

He said that the amulet in the wooden box was given to you by Master Hou.

Lord, that box is almost full.

There are so many peace symbols, Miss Qin must have been drawing them for a long time.

Miss Qin must be exhausted drawing talismans. No wonder Vice General Qin is unhappy. "

Fang Tian said while observing Lin Fan's reaction.

My father has a calm face.

Fang Tian couldn't see what he was thinking at all.

It seems that the polish is not enough, is it necessary to exaggerate?
Just thinking about it, Fang Tian saw Lin Fan opened the wooden box and took out a safety talisman.

The box in the left hand is so deep!
The talisman paper on the right hand is so thin!
Such a thin talisman paper needs to fill such a deep box, Fang Tian doesn't know how to count.

Even a waiter like him was moved by Miss Qin's seriousness and concern. Why, why is their master still so calm?

Fang Tian's face wrinkled.

Lin Fan didn't pay attention to Fang Tian, ​​his eyes fell on the talisman paper.

He had seen Qin Luan draw talismans with his own eyes, and heard from Qian Er that these peace talismans were different from those drawn by Qin Luan when he was doing daily classes.

More difficult, more time-consuming, and more troublesome.

At that time, it was made an appointment, except for the ones given to him first, when the old Hou Ye came to Feimenguan by order, he would bring some more.

Lin Fan thought that with Qin Luan's serious nature, he would definitely prepare a lot.

The current amount is obviously more than he thought.

It is conceivable that in order to prepare for these, Qin Luan spent all his time on drawing symbols.

What came to mind was the image of her standing behind the desk, drawing a talisman with a brush. Lin Fan carefully put the talisman paper back in her hand and closed the lid.

He doesn't know the Tao, and he doesn't know the difference between the same peace talisman.

However, at this moment, courage surged in his body.

Those gratitude, longing, joy and concern turned into courage, circulated in his internal organs, inspired him to go down this road.

achieve their goals as quickly as possible.

As soon as possible, really hold the initiative in the palm of your hand.

Seeing that Lin Fan put away the wooden box but didn't say anything, Fang Tian was eager to exaggerate, but he held back.

It's not that he didn't want to say countless good things for Miss Qin, but that he felt some gentleness in their master's calm mood.

After racking his brains, Fang Tian couldn't find the right words to express that kind of gentleness.

It was the first time he noticed it.

However, if you really want to compare it, the state of their master when he was listening to the old lady say something homely, is roughly similar to the current state.

Fang Tian thought, this is what their master looked like when he faced his family.

Miss Qin, if you want to be a family member, don't you just have to be a husband and wife?
It seems that their father is not completely unenlightened, but enlightened without knowing it.

He'd better shut up now.

Don't break their master's state of mind that sound is better than sound.

When I went back to ask my aunt to give gifts, my aunt taught him.

The liking that other people lobby for is different from the liking that you taste.

Fang Tian couldn't understand the difference, but he believed what his aunt said.

For someone as smart and astute as Ye, his ignorance will sooner or later become self-knowledge.

Moreover, [-]% is early.

As for the last [-]%...

Fang Tian thought, at the latest, they will return to Beijing triumphantly.

If they saw the towers of the capital city, and their master didn't know it, he would poke and cite it again.

That's it.

Then, let Grandpa taste it for himself.

Hey, an excellent follower, with deep merit and fame.

　Thanks to book friend Mancha Qianyin and Zheng Zhiyang for their rewards.
