Jinghong Tower

Chapter 268 I really want to be bribed by He Ran

He Ran guessed correctly, Feng Zan was indeed waiting for a price.

He has considered all the people who are qualified to "buy" him.

Among them, the one who is most likely to buy him is He Ran.

The King of Qi coerced the emperor to order the princes, and he represented the little emperor. Since Feng Zan rebelled against the court, he would not look back;
The King of Jin asked Feng Jieying to renounce and assassinate Xie Hongming. Later, there was a scandal of imprisoning his aunt in a secret room and killing Cai Jie. The appearance was so ugly that Feng Zan worried that if he followed the King of Jin, he would die unknown one day. ;

As for the King of Kaizhou, Feng Zan was originally optimistic about it, but recently he heard that several of King Kaizhou's sons were fighting to the death. Feng Zan disdained him. He hadn't even become emperor yet, but they were already fighting among themselves, and he couldn't last long.

As for Wu Dongming, Feng Zan didn't take it seriously at all. In his opinion, Wu Dongming, like him, was a minister of the Zhou family who had no choice but to raise an army.

He and Wu Dongming could form an alliance, but they would not surrender.

As for the mighty tiger army that had just emerged, Feng Zan really didn't take it seriously, they were just a bunch of beggars.

Finally, Feng Zan's eyes fell on He Ran.

Feng Zan did not look down on He Ran because he was a woman. He himself came to power through women, and he had no right to look down on women.

Especially a woman like He Ran.

What happened before, what happened next, how could anyone dare to say that they look down on them today?
Therefore, Feng Zan has been waiting for He Ran to send someone to recruit him.

But he never expected that He Ran's people would finally come, but they would come when he was in the most embarrassing situation.

Feng Zan was in a depressed mood and simply said nothing.

Anyway, he was injured, and the doctor also said that he was not suitable to speak now. After all, he had several broken ribs.

Feng Zan ignored him, and Nie Chen didn't care. However, Feng Zan didn't let anyone drive him away, but left him in the military camp.

He Jiangqi waited and waited, and finally what he waited for was to tell them to get lost.

He Jiangqi asked: "Where is Mr. Nie?"

The visitor said: "Mr. Nie is our general's guest, you can rest assured."

Of course He Jiangqi was worried, but he had no other choice but to leave the military camp with his men, find a private house three miles away, and stay there.

In the next few days, He Jiangqi sent people to wander around the military camp every day. He didn't see Nie Chen, but he didn't see his body either.

But Nie Chen regretted his decision the day he moved in.

What Feng Zan used to entertain his distinguished guest were two steamed buns mixed with wheat bran.

Nie Chen came from a well-to-do family. Although he was moved around a lot later, he never suffered hardships. After arriving in Jinyang, He Ran gave him a house and food. His food supply was no worse than that of King Xiao Zhao.

The only suffering he had suffered in his life was the bumpy road from Cangzhou to Hejian.

He drank the hot water and finally swallowed the buns. He only ate one, but he couldn't eat the other one.

It was like this on the first day, and it was still like this on the second day. After Nie Chen finished eating his cornbread, he went to see Feng Zan again. The guards did not stop him, and he met Feng Zan smoothly.

A guard was feeding Feng Zan, and Nie Chen smelled the aroma of egg custard.

Nie Chen swallowed his saliva and said to Feng Zan: "Are you eating sick food?" Feng Zan couldn't move, so he could only look over sideways and said angrily: "I heard that Mr. Nie has a thin throat and can't swallow. Coarse food, it’s hard for you to stay here.”

Nie Chen shook his head: "Nie, your life is on your side, why should you do anything difficult?"

Feng Zan sneered and took a big mouthful of egg custard.

But I was thinking in my heart, how can I sell myself at a good price.

It's definitely not going to work like this now. This old boy Nie Chen will definitely take the opportunity to lower the price. Let's leave him alone for now and let him eat the cornbread for a few more days. When he can't stand it anymore, see how he can lower the price.

Nie Chen was not in a hurry. In the next few days, he would come to see Feng Zan every time it was time to eat, and he would always come with Wowotou.

Feng Zan couldn't help but asked, "Why do you want to come to my tent to eat?"

Nie Chen: "When I smell the aroma of egg custard, I don't find it difficult to swallow the steamed buns. General Feng, Nie can now eat two steamed buns with every meal."

Feng Zan: "Have you always been so shameless?"

Nie Chen shook his head: "No, Nie is just straightforward."

Feng Zan glanced at him fiercely, you are such a straightforward person!

Until Feng Zan's injury was almost healed, Nie Chen remained the same. Not only was he not unable to bear the hardship of life, but he was living a contented life.

When he has nothing to do, he goes around chatting with people. He is well-informed, speaks meaningfully, and does not have the airs of a scholar. Feng Zan's subordinates all like him.

As Feng Zan was lying on the hospital bed, he heard several of his subordinates openly and secretly expressing their yearning for Ran Jun.

And these subordinates were all bandits who followed him and were summoned by the court together. They are people who can trust each other.

Ma Guang said to him: "Boss, why don't we go to Jinyang before your injury is healed? The female head sounds like a nice person and very loyal. I've heard that during the Chinese New Year, she I took the pigs and sheep to the military camp to watch the New Year with the soldiers."

Feng Zan snorted coldly: "During the Chinese New Year, didn't I stay up with you all?"

Ma Guang scratched his head: "This is different. We are brothers. It is normal to celebrate the New Year together. Besides, if we are not together, there is no other place to go. But the female head is different. She has no shortage of people to celebrate the New Year with. But if you still go to the military camp and watch the New Year with the soldiers, the meaning is different. "

Feng Zan: “It’s just about buying people’s hearts.”

Ma Guang: "I really want to be bribed, but the problem is that no one will buy it."

Hearing his brother say this, Feng Zan felt a surge of sadness in his heart.

At that time, he took his brothers to accept the recruitment. He originally wanted to lead them to get promoted, get rich, and marry a wife. However, he did not expect that the court treated them like monkeys. After they were recruited, they were put on the bench. Treating them as human beings, even the generals who fought for military exploits with real swords and guns did not take them seriously. In the eyes of those people, they were still bandits. With the word bandit on their foreheads, they would remain bandits until the day they died.

Later, he gritted his teeth and married the Shuxian County Lord, and then he had the opportunity to lead the army, but he also became a laughing stock in the capital, and even his brothers were humiliated along with him.

In his life, the first time he was bribed was to recruit someone; the second time he was bribed was to marry the county lord.

These two times were not so much bribed as driven by him.

No wonder Ma Guang would think so.

"Aren't you afraid that if we follow He Ran, we will be recruited like we were? Most of the generals under He Ran have her surname He. These are all her direct descendants. Even the Lu who is not surnamed He Zhen and Jiang Tao are also descendants of He Jiajun. In terms of closeness, how can we compare with these people? "
