The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

"Front...the person in front, stop for me,"

A group of people approaching Guangning Gate were called to stop by the sergeant guarding the city, but the sound of stopping sounded really forced, and even the voice was still trembling, but this is no wonder, now everyone It's past the time of Xu, even in a prosperous Shuntian Mansion, every household has already rested, but now there are more than a hundred people, and they are divided into two groups, coming here in a mighty way No matter who he is, he can't help being surprised when he sees it, but this scene really scares the sergeants guarding the city gate.

"People in front, don't panic," Liang Chao, who was walking behind, hurriedly shouted, and then walked over.

When Liang Chao passed by more than a dozen people in front, all of them were very vigilant, and all of them stared at him with extremely nervous voices, some of their hands hit their weapons, and some stretched into their arms, It seems to be preparing at all times to prevent any accidents from happening.

Although it was night at this time, the moon in the sky was very bright today, and people could see it quite clearly. Therefore, Li Yang, who was holding Zhang Fan, had to replace the Xiuchun knife in his hand with a dagger, Don't look down upon Zhang Fan's waist. For Li Yang, who has been around the world for decades and possesses such impressive martial arts, among the people standing here now, only Wang Meng can surpass him. It was easy to kill him, but it was very difficult to capture him. Now, if he wanted to take Zhang Fan down from his hands unscathed, it would be even more difficult.

In short, Liang Chao didn't do anything stupid self-righteously, but Kankan walked past them and walked towards Qianmen City Guard.

In the Ming Dynasty, the capital was in danger only during the "Civil Fortress Change", but now, the world is peaceful, and there is less trouble from the Tartars, so most of the guards guarding the Guangning Gate are These people who have never been on the battlefield or fought have never seen such a scene. More than a hundred people wandered around the streets of the capital at night, and even walked to the closed city gate.

Now, the person who spoke was staring at Liang Chao who was walking over, and the others had already put their hands on the handles of their knives. In case something happens.

"Stop," the man called Liang Chao to a stop at a distance that he thought was safe for him, "Who are you, why are there so many people gathered on the street so late, to tell you the truth, someone from above has already come today Take care, no matter who is coming, you are not allowed to leave the city, you should disperse quickly, don't pick quarrels here, so as not to be arrested." What this person said was righteous, but Liang Chao naturally It could be seen that he was just trying to embolden himself.

Liang Chao didn't care that a small city guard dared to talk to him like that. For one thing, because he followed Zhang Fan here to handle the case secretly, he didn't wear the clothes of Jin Yiwei, so it's understandable that others couldn't recognize him; Secondly, now that Zhang Fan is being controlled by others, he doesn't have the heart to care about those things.

Now is not the time to argue with this person, Zhang Fan's life is still in Li Yang's hands, although Liang Chao is full of reluctance, but he still has to let them open the city gate quickly, let Fang Yueling and his group go out, Otherwise, if it is too late and Zhang Fan suffers some kind of harm, Liang Chao doesn't want to, and he can't afford it.

Liang Chao stopped talking nonsense, stretched his hand into his bosom to take out his pocket card, and said to him: "I am..." But Liang Chao stopped before he could say anything.

"Lord Liang," a voice came from the direction of the city gate.

Liang Chao took a look, and saw that it was a factory guard wearing brocade and embroidered clothes, he was one of his subordinates, it was Liang Chao who sent him here today to inform the guards stationed at Guangning Gate that they must not open the gate to let people go at night Go out, if someone dares to barge in, they will be shot and killed directly.

When Liang Chao saw him, he didn't intend to say anything, and stretched out his hand from his bosom.

"Your Excellency, why are you here looking for a humble job?" The man quickly walked up to Liang Chao and asked, and then he said to the city guard, "This is my superior, Liang Chao and Liang Baihu."

The city guard naturally knew who he was talking to, but since the Liang Chao in front of him was his superior, it meant... Thinking of this, he broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly bowed and apologized to Liang Chao: "It turned out to be Mr. Liang, Liang Baihu, please forgive this little one... who has blind eyes, and offended your lord,"

At this time, Liang Chao didn't have the heart to talk to him, so he just waved his hand to let him go away. Although the current situation is unpredictable, it is normal to delay some time, otherwise it will easily arouse others' suspicion, but Liang Chao didn't know what those people were thinking, but Liang Chao didn't dare to gamble at all. After all, Zhang Fan's life was in their hands now.

"My lord, what's going on," Liang Chao's subordinate walked up to him, looked at the group of people behind, and then asked him, "It's so late, it's impossible to leave the city, isn't it today?" My lord ordered the humble officials to come here, guard the city gates, and not let anyone out?"

"Master Wei, he... this... has some private matters that need to be dealt with immediately out of the city," Liang Chao said vaguely.

"Ah, Mr. Zhang is here too," the man was surprised when he heard Liang Chao's words, and then he looked behind carefully, and sure enough, he saw Zhang Fan among the dozen or so people behind Liang Chao, and saw Zhang Fan. Here, he walked over immediately. After all, he was nothing in Jinyiwei, how could he let go of this opportunity to show his face in front of Zhang Fan, the commander of the capital.

Walking in front of the group of people, he saw that the people in front of Zhang Fan didn't give way to him, but he didn't care, so he clasped his fists at Zhang Fan and said, "The humble Wang Deyuan, please see my lord."

"Well, Wang Deyuan, it's so late, but you respect my order and stay here unrelentingly, thanks to you," Zhang Fan's voice was very calm, and he didn't look like he was being threatened at all.

But Li Yang and the others who were holding him next to him were not nervous at all in the face of this situation. First of all, they are all veterans, and such a situation where they may die without a burial if they show their feet can be regarded as experience. If there were too many, they would have been able to keep their face and heart beating a long time ago, not to mention, now that Zhang Fan was in their hands, they were not afraid of what the other party would do.

Hearing Zhang Fan's words, Wang Deyuan was extremely happy: "It's the right thing to do for the emperor and the court,"

"Go and ask the people behind to open the city gate, I have something to go out of the city," Zhang Fan ordered.

"I obey, my lord, it's just..." Wang Deyuan looked at him, hesitated, but he still said, "There are regulations in the capital, people who go out of the city at night, even if they have a warrant, they are not allowed to travel together. I'm afraid of humble positions..."

Hearing what he said, Zhang Fan looked at him differently. He naturally knew what Wang Deyuan was worried about. After the city gate was closed at night, unless there was a warrant or something urgent, there was no need Going out of the city, although Zhang Fan is in charge of Jinyiwei, he has the right to do so, but if so many people leave the city together, there must be a record at the city gate. Let's talk about one thing.

"Don't worry at this time," Zhang Fan said, "Only these ten or so people will go out of the city with me, the others will not,"

"But in this way, the safety of your lord..." Wang Deyuan was worried about other things again, "Although there are no bandits near the capital, will your lord only bring a dozen or so people out of the city..."

"I'm talking about you, why are you so wordy?" Liang Chao at the side vaguely saw the impatient expression on Li Yang's face, and hurriedly stopped Wang Deyuan. Besides, even though there are only a dozen or so people who can follow your lord, they must all be good players, and they will definitely be able to keep your lord safe, "

"It's natural, it's a lowly position to worry too much," Wang Deyuan asked Liang Chao to speak, so he stopped talking, and hurried back to the city gate to order the soldiers guarding the city to open the gate.

"I didn't realize that the envoy of the guard actually has such a trick," Yu'er, who was standing next to Zhang Fan, saw this scene, and said to Zhang Fan with a smile, "On weekdays, I only heard that Jin Yiwei was extremely cruel. , and in order to get promoted, even one of your own people can betray you mercilessly, but I didn't expect that Master Wei is really a good way, even a little soldier who doesn't know him well, can respect and love you very much," Yu'er said The words seemed to be praises, but the tone was very much like mocking Zhang Fan.

"It's natural," Zhang Fan replied with a smile, "As a person who leads so many people, if you can't win the trust of your subordinates and force them to do things for you only by threatening their lives, it won't be a big deal. A long-term solution, maybe it works well at the beginning, but after a long time, the people under your command will naturally stand up against you, that kind of method is like killing the chicken to take the eggs, it may be effective at the beginning, but it is definitely not a long-term solution, when the time comes, I am afraid it will be yourself I’m afraid you don’t even know what’s going on.” After finishing speaking, Zhang Fanhe took a special look at Fang Yueling who was standing next to her with a veil, but saw that she didn’t respond, so he stopped talking. up.

It's just that after hearing these words, Yu'er's expression became a little annoyed. Zhang Fan was obviously pointing fingers at Sang Huai, implying that Fang Yueling was playing with the lives of his subordinates. Moreover, Yu'er could clearly feel that the people next to him, including Including Li Yang, everyone was a little shaken.

At this time, the city gate was opened.

"Stop talking so much nonsense," Yu'er said, "Hurry up and go, I'll see if you can still say that later,"
