The devil is coming

Chapter 742 Lost in Destiny
Who are you? Do you think you are the emperor?
In the early years in Beifeng County, this sentence pattern was basically replaced by: Do you think you are the Marquis of Zhenbei?
Now that someone is saying this in a place adjacent to the east of Shanxi, it actually proves that in the border of east Shanxi, Ping Xihou, he is like a local emperor.
It's no wonder that Lord Zheng laughed, because this could be considered as scratching his spot.
This one-eyed man may have been wrong when he hit someone earlier;
But things like beating people, to put it bluntly, what does it mean to someone like Marquis Zheng who has killed prisoners on the battlefield more than once and visited the capital?
I'm in a bad mood today, so I'll give you, the shopkeeper, a good beating;
I'm in a very bad mood today, so I'm going to set your restaurant on fire;
Ugh,
What happened again?
I didn't do it because it was boring and tasteless. It's not that it was wrong. For people of Zheng Fan's level, right and wrong have long been blurred. No, they have long been looking for it. Gone.
If you really want to think about right and wrong, when you broke the embankment to look at the river in order to attack Chu, wouldn't the souls of those who were washed away by the flood in the lower reaches of the river have to crawl out one by one to settle accounts with him, Marquis Zheng?
Invisibly, I felt comfortable being flattered, and the one-eyed dragon became more pleasing to the eye.
Lord Zheng raised his head,
He glanced at the group of escorts standing there with knives. There were many retired soldiers here.
"Put the knife away."
This is not a discussion tone, this is...an order.
Aura is something that cannot be seen or touched, but it does exist.
When Lord Zheng no longer held the fish soup and watched the excitement, no longer smiled and laughed, but showed himself as giving military orders in the army;
The other people in the restaurant were okay, they just felt that this richly dressed young man seemed to have changed into a different person, becoming unfathomable and majestic;
But for these people who came from the Yan army,
This momentum, this aura, this feeling,
It's just too familiar.
These people who have been polished in the military may seem dull, but in fact, they are much sharper than ordinary people in some aspects. Moreover, these people have all been on the battlefield and fought, and they are not the kind of babies;
Everyone looked at each other in shock, but began to put away their swords. Although they didn't know who the person in front of them was, and although the person in front of them didn't take out any tokens, wasn't wearing armor, and didn't display a flag,
But instinct tells them,
at this time,
Should be well behaved.
The one-eyed man who was suppressed by Xu Chuang looked at Zheng Fan as if he had seen a ghost, and then lowered his head silently.
The tall man was more direct. After all, he was still on duty. After putting away the knife, he silently folded his hands and stepped back half a step, saluting:
"May I ask, Your Majesty?"
There are many liars in this world, the low-end ones, who can cheat people out of food and drink, and the high-end ones, who can fool their identity and pretend to be a decent person. He has observed and figured it out in all walks of life, and he can pretend and be able to do it. pretend; pretend
For example, at the foot of Tianhu Mountain, Lord Zheng met a member of the Hun family. Before pretending to deceive others, he first deceived himself;
But the question is, how do you observe and figure out the temperament that can only be developed on the battlefield? Naturally, how do you imitate it?
Therefore,
The high school lieutenant almost concluded that this time, he probably really met a big shot, and he was definitely a big shot in the military.
But he didn't dare to guess that the person in front of him was really Lord Pingxi. The gap in level and status was too high. He really didn't dare to think about it, and he wouldn't go there.
Marquis Zheng ignored the high school captain and lowered his head to look at the one-eyed dragon.
asked:
"Come on, what's your name?"
One-Eyed Dragon wanted to dissatisfy, but when faced with Lord Zheng at this moment, he could not suppress his instinctive fear and said:
"Lu Daniu."
This name is quite down-to-earth, exactly the same as the name of Liu Dahu, the stepson of the Sword Master.
The leaders of Guizhou are uneducated, and nicknames are all over the place. When you need to use a famous name, a famous name, oh, then the big one will be used.
"Lu Daniu, okay."
Lord Zheng stretched out his hand, picked up the bowl of fish soup that he had put down before, and took two sips.
"This soup is really delicious. Do you know why it tastes so good?"
Lu Daniu's face began to twitch, and instinctive anger and instinctive awe, two instinctive emotions, began to collide and twist in him.
He wanted to fall out and scold the person in front of him, but he didn't dare. He had a hunch that if he really scolded the person in front of him, he and his brothers might...
"Hehehe."
Lord Zheng laughed again,
then,
He pressed himself down,
While holding the bowl, he moved his face towards Lu Daniu,
Road:
"Because the fish the shopkeeper brought in this time grew up eating the flesh and blood of Chu people and savages. They taste so delicious, right?"
Lu Daniu swallowed, this, can this be the case?
But, it seems to make sense.
The most important thing is that when I think about it this way, I feel relieved.
Zheng Fan waved to Xu Chuang,
Xu Chuang stood up and let go of Lu Daniu.
Lu Daniu also got up, subconsciously stood up straight, and then instinctively lowered his shoulders;
Somehow, standing in front of this person was not as comfortable as kneeling before.
"May I ask your Majesty..."
The high school captain saluted and asked again.
In fact, Marquis Zheng had no intention of revealing his identity.
Maybe, when the common people go to the theater, they like to watch the scene where the emperor puts on his dragon robe and is worshiped by the people around him. They find it very enjoyable.
But the emperor, oh no, but Lord Zheng, was used to being worshiped on his knees, and he no longer felt any pleasure.
What this even triggered was that the civil and military officials at all levels in the county would immediately run over to greet him one after another like pugs, which was extremely annoying.
Again, the threshold is too high.
Seeing that Zheng Fan didn't respond, the high school captain immediately said:
"I think what happened today is just a knot in my mind. Once the knot is gone, the matter will be over."
As soon as Gao Xiaowei finished speaking, Lu Daniu suddenly said recklessly:
"You're right, this fish grows by eating the flesh and blood of savages and Chu people. I want to drink it, I want to eat their flesh!"
Lu Daniu stretched out his hand and picked up the basin of fish soup from the table.
The fish soup has been kept for so long, and it is not as hot as it was at the beginning, but the temperature is never very low. Previously, when the sword master drank it, he had to blow it with him.
This rude man was good, he just put his mouth next to the basin,
"Grrrrrr!!!!!!"
A large basin of fish soup was poured in, and then he burped heavily, with emotions of pain and pleasure mixed on his face.
"It's a pity, I really can't eat this meat."
"Haha, oops."
Lord Zheng was amused again.
Subsequently,
Lu Daniu walked up to the shopkeeper, took out a piece of silver from his pocket, and threw it in front of the shopkeeper.
then,
reach out,
"Snapped!"
It's just a slap to yourself!
"I'm sorry, no way, I told you not to catch the fish. If you did, you did not treat me well. You deserve a slap. This slap is to get rid of the matter!"
"Yes Yes Yes."
The shopkeeper's mood has also dropped now, and he is no longer as strong-willed as the previous group who were angry with their grievances.
The side of Lu Daniu's face was red, which showed that the previous slap had absolutely no effect. At this time, he turned to Zheng Fan and saluted:
"Thank you."
Mr. Zheng himself also worked his way up. Although he did not slowly gain qualifications in the capital and serve as a military official, he faced people from Dayan. Oh no, they were the top and most difficult to serve in the entire world. Bit;
Therefore,
Lord Zheng knew that Lu Daniu was definitely not performing at the beginning. He did not recognize his identity, not even now;
But he was able to show his boldness and ease, and show his kindness.
The custom at this time, oh no, it has been the custom throughout the ages, that bold and forthright men are the most popular among those in power.
Mr. Zheng himself also likes to play with people like Chen Daxia.
But regardless of whether this behavior was deliberate or not, it at least showed that this person was a wise man. After he retired from the army, he could still manage such a bodyguard agency, relying on more than just the so-called connections.
"Go."
Lord Zheng stood up and walked to the backyard.
Lu Daniu and the high school lieutenant looked at each other and immediately led everyone towards the backyard. The high school lieutenant also ordered his men to stop the irrelevant people.
There were three tables of banquets in the backyard, and many ladies and husbands were standing there waiting.
Lu Daniu immediately took out his money and sent them away quickly, urging them to leave quickly.
Xu Chuang pulled out a chair and asked Mr. Zheng to sit down.
The sword master was holding Long Yuan wrapped in cloth, standing in the corner, eating and drinking, eyes half closed.
Si Niang grabbed some melon seeds and peanuts from a table and handed them to Mr. Zheng.
When Zheng Fan was out, everything he ate was first handled by Siniang, including the previous fish soup, which was served by Siniang for him. There was no other way, it was not easy to get to this point, and he would have to sacrifice his life;
Furthermore, there are many enemies and forces that are happy to see him die suddenly even though they are not enemies. It is also a sign of respect for them to be careful.
The backyard was immediately cleaned up.
Lord Zheng, while cracking melon seeds, said to Siniang:
"We are in Yingdu, remember there are people there, right?"
"Yes, there is a restaurant, but there are not many people."
The power of the Pingxi Hou Mansion is still limited to the east of Shanxi. Externally, even in Yingdu, it only maintains a simple contact point like a contact point.
"Not enough."
"My lord, do you want to take this big cow?"
Zheng Fan shook his head, "He's lucky enough to come to us at the right time, so we'll give him some luck. Besides, the errand boy next to him is a bit interesting.
However, it is somewhat interesting. "
Didn't you see that Xu Chuang can only be a thug and younger brother now? Pingxi Marquis's standard of looking at people has become very high. Lu Daniu really didn't make him have any love for talents.
But maybe it’s really this fate, so I don’t mind inserting a willow stick here, maybe it will have some effect in the future.
Siniang smiled and nodded.
"Remember to mention it to the blind man later. I'll probably forget it when you get back."
"Yes, I understand."
Over there, it's cleaned up.
Lu Daniu and Gao Xiaowei stood side by side in the first row, while the others stood in the back two rows.
Lord Zheng waved his hand.
Soon, the people in the last two rows also left the yard, leaving only Lu Daniu and Gao Gaowei standing here.
Zheng Fan looked at the high school captain and asked;
"What's your name?"
"Gao Zhunpang, the patrol captain of Shangchuan County."
"Oh."
Lord Zheng nodded, pointed at Lu Daniu again, and said:
"How many people do you have under your command?"
"There are NO.30 people eating dry food."
Those who eat dry food here are those who have been working with him in the escort agency all year round, and those who eat porridge are those who call in to make up for the temporary shortage of staff.
"Is business easy?" Zheng Fan asked.
"Fortunately, I can manage the affairs of society." Lu Daniu replied.
"Well, I heard someone say before that you are in the military. Does it matter?"
"I have been there before, and I have some acquaintances. It will be easier to say hello when passing through the checkpoints." Lu Daniu told the truth, pointing at Gao Junpang, who was standing next to him, "Brother Gao started the business, and I am responsible for it. , Brother Gao has more connections than I do."
"So it is."
Gao Zhunpang had an official status and was not suitable for doing business on his own, so he asked Lu Daniu to run the escort agency for him, which was quite clever.
Zheng Fan smiled and said:
"What are you doing standing still?"
"Huh?" Gao Zhunpang.
"I..." Lu Daniu.
"Kneel down." Lord Zheng said.
Micro Motion Pang made a "pop" sound,
When Lu Daniu was still hesitating, he knelt down directly.
"I will see you later, sir!"
When Lu Daniu saw this, he immediately knelt down. At the same time, he was secretly annoyed as to why he was so slow to kneel before, what a hesitation!
Can I lose a piece of meat if I kneel wrongly?
"Perhaps, you two are indeed destined to be with me today. I am..."
"Pfft!"
The kneeling Lu Daniu was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground and turned into a posture of prostrate to the ground. His body was still twitching slightly.
Straight bitch,
This lord...
Gao Junpang's face also began to turn red. Then, he looked up at Zheng Fan in disbelief, then quickly lowered his head. Finally, he gritted his teeth and stood up slowly.
Zheng Fan watched the patrolling captain stand up in front of him.
The other party didn't dare to look at him again.
Instead, reach out your hand,
head down,
Road:
"It's my duty to ask for a token to prove my identity!"
"Oh? Didn't you already kneel down just now? Why, you still want to check the token now?"
"No, you just knelt down for your own wealth and life, because I guess you should be a nobleman in the army, but since you call yourself this, then..."
Gao Junpang pursed his lips a few times and took a deep breath.
continued;
"Then my duty is to prove my identity. I am not trying to show off in front of you."
it means,
If you are pretending to be another noble person, that's no problem. If everyone needs to kowtow, then kowtow, and if everyone needs to give in, then give in;
But since you call yourself "I am the Marquis", then I have to confirm your identity and handle official business, because the identities of Marquis Pingxi are different and there is no room for any discrepancies.
after all,
Lord Pingxi can directly mobilize troops!
Zheng Fan nodded, turned to ask Siniang:
"Is the token here with you?"
"My lord, it's at A Ming's place."
"Oh, I forgot."
The light carriage was traveling too quickly, so things were not properly prepared. Of course, it was also because we had arrived at this boundary, which was equivalent to arriving at the door of our own house, and there was nothing to worry about.
"Old Yu, let me lend you my sword."
"Buzz!"
Long Yuan flew out and stabbed directly into the ground in front of Zheng Fan. The sword energy was restrained, but it gave people an intuitive sense of sharpness.
Long Yuan is very famous in the world, and young swordsmen nowadays are proud to wear swords of the same style as Long Yuan.
The one who can let the swordsman of Jin land serve as a guard.
In this world,
Only one!
Gao Junpang immediately knelt down on one knee and saluted seriously:
"At last, I will pay my respects to Lord Pingxi. Lord Pingxi is blessed with good health!"
Lu Daniu, who was kneeling before, managed to get up and changed to a kneeling position.
"I will continue what I said before. Since we are destined to have a good relationship, we will form a good relationship. Are you two willing to do things for me?"
"Willing to die for Lord Hou!"
"Willing to die for Lord Hou!"
"That's it. Someone will come to you after a while and arrange some errands for you."
"Thank you, Lord Marquis, for your support!" Micro Motion Pang immediately thanked him.
Lord Zheng nodded,
Sighed,
This scene,
Suddenly he was in a trance, with a familiar yet unfamiliar feeling.
Because back then,
He himself once knelt down in front of Jingnan Hou to show his loyalty, hoping to get Lao Tian's support.
Ugh,
Years.
Lord Zheng sighed with emotion.
At this time,
There was another noise outside:
"Oh, didn't you say there weren't enough people? Didn't I call for people here again? This can't be done. They belong to them. Our batch of money hasn't been given yet. I won't leave. I won't leave. Give me the money. , give me the money and I’ll leave. I didn’t come here specifically to do business there, so I can’t go on an empty trip!
Hey, I said, I don’t bring such bullies. I also brought here my newly adopted godson, a new baby from Shengle City that has not yet been broken. What’s wrong...
Hey, hey, don’t push me, don’t push me..."
Gao Zhunpang immediately pushed Lu Daniu and signaled him to deal with it quickly.
Earlier, everyone was eating and drinking to celebrate the birthday, and some people were clamoring that this husband was not good enough, so they wanted to shout out another group. But after something like this, how could he do anything in front of the Marquis again?
Lu Daniu immediately got up and went out to get some money to settle things. He had just hugged the thick leg, but he couldn't ruin his image.
Marquis Zheng didn't care, the wind in Jin was already noisy.
"Okay, I have to go, don't send me away."
"Yes, Lord Hou."
Naturally, Gao Junpang would not call out that the Marquis was here. Naturally, he had to treasure his noble people and the wealth in his life.
He stood up, pulled out Long Yuan, and handed it to the Sword Master. The Sword Master put away the sword and said:
"interesting?"
Obviously, the sword master found this matter quite boring.
"Hey, you work so hard and do so many interesting things, isn't it just so you can find time to do boring things?"
The sword master said no more.
Marquis Zheng continued: "You, I believe in this fate, every drink and peck is God's will. Maybe it will be used in a few decades?"
"This is a rhetoric that Qigong practitioners like. Do you believe that?"
"Fortunately."
Zheng Fan and others walked out, and Lu Daniu helped clear the way.
At this time, the old madam who had been shouting that she had just received the money immediately put on a smile when she saw Zheng Fan and others walking out of the yard. She knew when to be playful and when to be nice. Personally, well-dressed, especially the one who hit Qian'er, he is definitely a noble man.
The old madam subconsciously pushed her newly acquired godson in front of her.
As if he is promoting his own goods,
Silently thinking:
Noble one, take a look. Noble one, take a look.
The rich people in Jin like this, think it is elegant, and like to spend money on it.
The corner of Zheng Houye's eyes also glanced here, and then he paused.
When the old bustard saw Zheng Fan's eyes turned towards him, he immediately showed joy.
When Gao Zhunpang and Lu Daniu, who were standing behind them, saw this scene, they were secretly surprised. It turned out that the Marquis of Pingxi, besides being a good wife, could he be such a good person?
Marquis Zheng not only looked at it, but also walked straight over.
He pulled the boy over from the old madam's hands.
"Hey, uncle, this is my godson, an unborn baby. Uncle, this..."
"To shut up!"
"Buzz!"
Xu Chuang's knife was directly placed on the old bustard's neck, and the old bustard immediately calmed down.
Zheng Fan reached out and touched the boy's face.
The boy looked at Zheng Fan with dull eyes.
immediately,
Zheng Fan pulled back the boy's hair that had been specially pulled up, and sure enough, he saw the hidden traces of the ring scar.
The new godson that the madam mentioned, this boy, was none other than the younger monk among the older and younger monks that he had seen at the Snow Customs... Liao Fan!
Two years ago, they were sent by themselves to preach in the snowy plains, with great results. A year ago, because the prophecy brought by Hu Bamei vaguely pointed to the far west of the snowy plains, he sent people to preach to them. Xin Xin asked his master and apprentice to explore there and see if they could find anything.
The blind man was responsible for the follow-up of this matter, so Zheng Fan had long forgotten about it, but it was obvious that something must have happened to the master and disciple.
Otherwise you can't explain it at all,
Why is it that this little monk is neither in the snowfield, nor in the Xueguan Pass, nor in Fengxin City, but appears here inexplicably and becomes a godson adopted by the old bustard!
Lord Zheng squatted down and looked into the eyes of little monk Fan. His eyes were still a little dull, like a puppet on strings.
"Liao Fan, where is your master? What happened to you on the snowfield? What... did you find?"
Something must have happened on the snowfield. The old bustard also said before that she came in from Shengle City.
The "in" here means to purchase goods.
In Shengle City, there is a road that can lead to the snowfield through the Tianduan Mountains.
There, the slave trade was still a pillar industry, and it was still the foundation laid when he was General Shengle.
But why did Liao Fan return to Jin from there instead of going through Xue Customs?
When the two masters and disciples were marching in the snowy field, there must be followers around them.
"Master...Xueyuan...Xueyuan...Master..."
These words seemed to stimulate little monk Fan.
The little monk's eyes slowly focused on Zheng Fan at this moment. He should be thinking and remembering;
then,
His body trembled, as if he thought of something terrible, and his expression began to become extremely distorted and painful.
Open your mouth and scream:
"Ahhhh!!!!!!!"
