Fake eunuch in the palace

Chapter 681

"Father, are you overly complimenting him?"

Zhou Pan looked up at the fireworks, "Today, he is certainly brave and resourceful, and values ​​love and justice, but in a high position, there are only a few people who can stick to their true intentions."

"You."

Zhou Pangqi shook his head and walked away.

Zhou Pan was taught by him, and Zhou Pangqi knew his temper very well.

The more cautious you are with your mouth, the more convinced you are in your heart. Rather than saying it to him, it is better to say it to himself.

If Pan'er was really suspicious of someone, he wouldn't show it on his face, let alone exchange insults with Su Xian.

He wanted to get close to Su Xian, but he was afraid that his posture would be too low and make Su Xian laugh, so he held it awkwardly.

Zhou Pangqi had only seen this look when Zhou Pan was young.

Su Xian is indeed capable.

"Lieutenant General, if this continues, the bodies of the soldiers will not be able to hold on anymore." Holding the torch, the guard looked at Wu Yongcheng and said with a worried look on his face.

Wu Yongcheng pursed his lips tightly and looked gloomy. He knew that Su Xian had a plot, but he could only be led by the nose. This kind of frustration really made people want to send troops to the Chu Kingdom.

"Switch."

Wu Yongcheng spoke loudly, and no matter how vigilant the whole army was, no one could stand it.

"call out!"

The sound of fireworks rising into the sky was particularly loud in the middle of the night. Qin Bing's eyes opened wide, then he closed them and dozed off. They were already numb, it was just fireworks.

"Look!"

Suddenly a voice shouted.

Everyone looked up tiredly and saw dozens of kites flying from a distance, and everyone's pupils were wide open.

"Wow!"

Qin Bing grabbed the horn, puffed up his cheeks, and blew it hard.

"Enemy attack!"

At this moment, the Qin soldiers were in chaos, fear rising from the bottom of their hearts.

If Wu Yongcheng hadn't appeared, they would have found a place to hide.

"Archer ready!"

Wu Yongcheng stared closely at the flying kite and shouted.

"shoot!"

Calculating the distance, Wu Yongcheng tensed his cheeks and roared loudly.

Dense arrows pierced the night sky and shot toward the kite.

At the same time, the trebuchet also threw the explosives.

The rumbling sound made the night no longer quiet.

Zhou Pan opened his eyes and rushed out of the camp, "But the marshal made a surprise attack? How is the battle going?"

Zhou Pan asked the guard as he hurriedly walked towards the viewing platform.

"The spies haven't sent back the news yet, but judging from this movement, I'm afraid it is." The guard returned to Zhou Pan.

After boarding the viewing platform, Zhou Pan looked far into the distance. The fireworks had stopped, but the roar of explosives kept coming.

"Lieutenant, it's just a big kite."

The guard who went to investigate came back, looked at Wu Yongcheng, and muttered.

Knowing that he was being tricked again, Wu Yongcheng's face turned livid, his knuckles turned white when he pinched them, and he could hardly restrain the urge to send troops.

After a while, Wu Yongcheng exhaled and the words popped out of his mouth, "Intensify inspections."

The night became quiet again.

After Zhou Pan listened to the soldier's report, he didn't say anything for a while, then silently turned around and went back to sleep.

That thing was another feint.

"Phew!" The fireworks exploded again, full of ridicule and provocation. Qin Bing's teeth were itching, but he could only watch.

After three rounds of fireworks, the fireworks stopped.

There was no sound again for an hour, and Qin Bing's heart clenched tightly as he listened to the whistling wind in his ears.

This kind of silence is more frightening than the noise.

Not daring to slack off at all, Qin Bing listened carefully to the movements around him.

Time passed by minute by second, and the night gradually faded away. Just when it was dawn, there was a bang, and Qin Bing, who was tired and squinting, was frightened.

"boom!"

The sound got louder and louder.

Everyone tightened their grip on their spears and stared at the direction of the sound.

"Lieutenant general, it's Qiling. They blew up the mountain pass." The spy came back and reported.

Wu Yongcheng looked away. The rumbling stopped a quarter of an hour ago. Bombing the mountain pass?What do they want?
Wu Yongcheng frowned, thinking deeply.

Judging from Su Xian's series of actions, he was definitely going to do something strange, but he was the one who spoke and couldn't act rashly.

Really aggrieved!
"Father, it has been a day since Qiling was bombed. Su Xian has not returned to the camp, and even the number of fireworks has been reduced. How long will he continue to play?" Zhou Pan said calmly.

"You're not Wu Yongcheng, but you can't bear it anymore?" Zhou Pangqi finished writing the last stroke, raised his eyes slightly, and spoke casually.

Zhou Pan poured tea for him, "There are many people out there who want to kill Su Xian. I'm worried that if his plan doesn't come to fruition, he will be killed instead."

"Instead of worrying about Su Xian, why not go and see your second brother? Du Vanguard's training is really not easy to deal with."

Zhou Pangqi sighed. The eldest son had to bear the burden of the family. Although he took him with him to teach him, he was more strict than kind.

Zhou Gui was different. Since he only saw him a few times a month, Zhou Pangqi indulged him a lot and allowed him to follow his own nature.

"Father, if you feel sorry for me, I will go find Su Xian and get my second brother back."

"Pan'er, you've been with Su Xian for a long time, are you following suit?"

Zhou Pangqi glanced at Zhou Pan, "If I couldn't let go, I wouldn't send Gui'er out."

"He is impulsive and irritable, and he really needs to be treated."

"It's just that as a father, I can't help but worry that he won't be able to withstand the intense training of Dou Qianwei."

"Father, this was not the case when you threw me into the forward camp." Zhou Pan looked sour.

In the past, he would never have said this, but after fighting with Su Xian too many times, he would no longer bury his inner thoughts deeply.

Su Xian is right when he says that no matter whether they are monarchs, ministers, or father and son, they can never truly get closer if they don't have a heart-to-heart relationship with each other.

Zhou Pangqi laughed, "What you have to bear is the entire Zhou family army. If I don't be more careful, how will you be able to bear it?"

"I didn't know that you would actually envy Gui'er."

"The thought I spend on him is not one-tenth as much as yours. It's appropriate to be more loving."

"Gui'er has been hit by a military stick, but you haven't been." Zhou Pang chuckled. The relationship between father and son has always been serious, but they are rarely so casual. They only talk about military affairs.

"Although my second brother was beaten a lot, he lived a wanton life. Sometimes I really envy him." Zhou Pan smiled and did not deny it.

"How about you stand in for Gui'er for a few days?" Zhou Pangqi touched his beard, seeming to be thinking about Zhou Pan.

"Father." Zhou Pan's face darkened, "Are you sure you're not biased?"

"How did you talk!"

"I prefer to let you see it." Zhou Pangqi looked sideways at Zhou Pan.

"If you want to send this letter to Ningyang to hold the enthronement ceremony, we still need their civil servants to come." With a few words of teasing, Zhou Pangqi picked up the letter on the table and spoke to Zhou Pan.

"Don't worry about Su Xian. He came out of Daqian's inner palace and is still alive and kicking. He is not so easy to kill."

"It's sliding."

"That's true." Zhou Pan nodded, "The Supreme Emperor has been assassinated so many times, but he has not succeeded. Instead, he asked him to seize the country."

"It's really difficult to kill Su Xian."

Zhou Pan shook his head and stepped out of the tent. He prayed for Li Yi in his heart and galloped forward with a disgraced look on his face.
