The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

After meeting Zhang Fan, Joanna finally felt more at ease. During this time, she was always worried about Zhang Fan in Sichuan, for fear that he would encounter some danger. After all, there were only Zhang Fan and Fang Yueling in the situation at that time. The two went to the capital, and even Wang Meng and the others persuaded her, telling her that Fang Yueling's martial arts were high enough to protect Zhang Fan, but Fang Yueling was a woman after all, and Joanna had never seen Fang Yueling make a move. Anna was worried about Zhang Fan's affairs.

So during those few days, Joanna couldn't eat well or sleep at all. Whenever she saw the people sent by Wang Meng and the others to inquire about the news, she would worry for a long time, for fear of hearing something bad about Zhang Fan. Good news, fortunately, everything is safe for Zhang Fan. Although he encountered some minor troubles, he didn't encounter any major troubles at all.

It's just that, although there is no bad news coming from outside, the good news can't come in. After all, at that time, they were still in the Five Poison Sect, but the Five Poison Sect was surrounded by Zhu Xuanqi's men and horses. Surrounded, even those who went out to inquire, only inquired about the movements of Zhu Xuanqi's men and horses, but they couldn't find out about Zhang Fan.

Therefore, even though there was no bad news from Zhang Fan, Joanna was still very worried, for fear that something had happened to Zhang Fan.

This kind of worry lasted until one day, when the people who went out to inquire about the news brought back news that Zhu Xuanqi's troops had retreated, and even if they didn't hear any news about Zhang Fan, this matter was enough. To explain the problem, it means that Zhang Fan has returned to the capital safely.

And after hearing what Wang Meng said, Joanna was really relieved. For so many days, she was worried about Zhang Fan, for fear that something would happen to him, but now, after hearing Good news, even if there is no definite news about Zhang Fan, she also knows that Zhang Fan has indeed returned to the capital safely. In this way, Joanna can finally feel relieved, and after worrying for so many days, suddenly Don't worry, this really made Joanna feel a little hesitant for a while, and even almost fell ill, thanks to the fact that she was also a member of the army and fought in wars, and she was also a member of the Five Poisons Sect. The attitude of the allies also helped a little. In short, Joanna is fine.

After finally meeting Zhang Fan's Joanna, she was completely relieved now, and Zhang Fan also sent someone to send her home first. Afterwards, Zhang Fan asked about Wang Meng's affairs during this period.

In fact, even though Wang Meng and the others were not as worried as Joanna during that time, they were still not relaxed, and the fact that Zhu Xuanqi's men were withdrawn let Wang Meng and the others know that Zhang Fan had returned to the capital safely. , not to mention that Zhu Xuanqi's siege outside has already evacuated, that is to say, they can go out and return to the capital.

It's not that he is worried about other things, but Wang Meng is too competent and wants to go back to the capital to help Zhang Fan. After all, he also knows that there are still many things to do in the capital. Wang Meng still wants to help Zhang Fan if he can give Zhang Fan some ideas, run errands or something.

However, Zhang Fan also said before, waiting for his news, but Zhang Fan did not say that they cannot move after the danger is lifted, but Wang Meng is also worried about the situation outside. Who will be left? Of course, even if some people are left, the number will definitely not be large. Facing their size of more than 200 people, they will definitely not pose a threat, but Wang Meng does not want to go too far this time. It's best to be steady.

So, they spent an extra day exploring the surroundings, and finally, after confirming that there were indeed no one around, they planned to leave the Five Poison Sect and return to the capital.

With two hundred people, nothing happened until they got out of Sichuan Province, and it was only after they got out of Sichuan that Wang Meng let the other people disperse and rushed to the capital with more than [-] people brought by Zhang Fan .

It took nearly a month to say that they came here in a leisurely manner, but there was no way to do that. After all, not only Zhang Fan was there at that time, but also people from the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War followed. Soon, the people who didn't know thought that something happened, and these people needed to rush quickly, so in order to avoid this kind of panic, they walked very slowly.

But when you go back, you don’t have to do that, the others have already gone back to the capital first, and now only Jin Yiwei’s own people are left, and even if there is one more Joanna, Joanna is not a delicate young lady, What's more, Joanna's desire to return to the capital and see Zhang Fan sooner was higher than any of them.

In short, these 20 people returned to the capital in just over ten days under the fast travel. It was not too rushed, but they were not slow at all.

After listening to Wang Meng's narration of the events of these days, Zhang Fan nodded. There is really no need to say anything else. Zhang Fan's subordinates should do these things, but Zhang Fan is still very grateful to them.

"By the way, my lord," Wang Meng asked suddenly, "on the way back, I also heard the news that Zhu Xuanqi came to Beijing to face the saint by decree from the imperial court."

"Yes, there is indeed such a thing," Zhang Fan nodded, and said, "This is the Queen Mother's order."

"That is to say, the Queen Mother is planning to do something," Wang Meng said, but his expression was a little puzzled, "It's just that since the Queen Mother is planning to do something, why did she make such an order? If she does, it's better to pass the decree to General Liu Arresting Zhu Xuanqi and sending him to the capital came quickly, and letting Zhu Xuanqi go to the capital is a bit of a humble job, so I can't figure it out."

"Oh, there's no way around it," Zhang Fan sighed, and told Wang Meng what happened before.

"...That is to say..." After listening to Zhang Fan's narration, Wang Meng said with a troubled expression on his face, "Your Excellency is not sure whether the Queen Mother is going to fight or not."

"Yeah," Zhang Fan could only sigh again, "I really have no idea what the Queen Mother is planning now, but now that Zhu Xuanqi has come to Beijing according to the order, if I want to come here for a while, I will know What will happen, by the way, when you came out from the Five Poison Sect, did you hear any news?"

"After I came out of the Five Poison Sect, I also inquired about some news about the Shu Palace and Zhu Xuanqi along the way," Wang Meng shook his head and said, "But the outside world didn't know about it, and it was heard that after Zhu Xuanqi withdrew his troops, , even after returning to the palace, on weekdays, there is very little news from the Shu palace, and now there is even no news at all, so I don't know what's going on there, "

"That's it..." Zhang Fan was not disappointed. After all, he had already thought about this possibility a long time ago. Hearing what Wang Meng said now, it is not surprising at all, "In this case, this matter We can't manage things now if we want to, and leave everything to the Queen Mother to decide, and we can only resign ourselves to fate in the end, "

"By the way, my lord," Wang Meng wanted to change the subject perhaps because he felt that the topic was a bit heavy, "Before my lord said that something should be handed over to Xiaozhi and Liang Chao, what's the matter?"

"Oh, you're talking about that," Zhang Fan nodded. Not only Wang Meng, but he also looked at Liang Chao who was standing aside, and said, "Speaking of which, nothing happened in the past few days, but you guys want to After some preparations, in a month's time, I have to go to the Northeast with me."

"Go to the Northeast," Wang Meng became vigilant when he heard Zhang Fan mentioning this matter. Even Liang Chao, who was beside him, let go of his relaxation again, tensed his nerves, and listened to Zhang Fan's words.

"That's right," Zhang Fan nodded, and said, "During this time, the situation in Northeast China is not looking good to me. Although the thing we asked Wang Degui to do last year was indeed fruitful, Wang Gao is also in trouble now. , but this guy Wang Gao didn't give up, he still wanted to attack us. Now he is in contact with the tribes of Tumet, but because he lost a lot of generals last year, those tribes still want to raise the price, but Wang Gao is here After all, there is great potential there, and it will be a matter of time to unite, but it is just a little late.

"I went to the Northeast this time, in fact, to remind Li Chengliang to take in the people as soon as possible, so as not to cause any casualties in the event of a war. You have heard of Li Chengliang's temper, so I have to personally go.

"But don't worry. After all, it's just to meet Li Chengliang and say a few words. It's not a big deal, and there's absolutely no time to use a knife. Just take it as a trip to the northeast with me."

"I understand," Wang Meng and Liang Chao said in unison.

Liang Chao is fine. Anyway, Zhang Fan has made it very clear that nothing will happen this time, but Wang Meng is different. After answering Zhang Fan's words, Wang Meng seems to have thought of something. Some fugues started.

Zhang Fan naturally noticed Wang Meng's expression, but Zhang Fan just thought about it a little bit and he understood. After all, before that, Zhang Fan paid attention to the things in the Northeast, and sent Wang Degui there to assassinate Wang Gao's subordinates. The general got the news entirely because of Wang Meng's affairs.

But now that Zhang Fan said he would take them to the Northeast, Wang Meng would also want to meet his master.

"It doesn't matter," Zhang Fan thought, smiled, and said, "Anyway, there is nothing going on in the Northeast today. Even if there will be a war in the future, it is not now. I will just go to see Li Chengliang at that time. I don't want to come." Nothing will happen, so if you have something to do, I won't stop you, "

Hearing Zhang Fan's words, Wang Meng was naturally happy, bowed and said, "Thank you, my lord."
