Chapter 69: Entering Chengdu
"How is that possible? Zhang Song is extremely ugly and has not been favored by his family for many years. I gave him the opportunity to show his talents. Why did he betray me?" Chen Mi asked Gan Ning in disbelief.
It was after many screenings that he selected the candidates of the Chengdu family on Zhang Song of the Zhang family. It is rumored that Zhang Song has an ugly appearance and a short figure. Although he is talented, he will never be able to leave Chengdu. Therefore, Chen Micai firmly believes that this is also an excellent opportunity for Zhang Song.
But he never expected that even though Zhang Song had such a respectful appearance, he would still design to deceive him.
"How do you know I've been trapped?"
"The news just came from the Mu Mansion that Zuo Zhonglang will lead the princes into the city this morning and ask the county government departments to prepare properly. I know that Zhang Ziqiao is afraid that he will deceive you!" He quickly told Chen Mi the truth. Although he did not believe the rumors before, he was quite resistant to invading with Chen Mi.
But when he knew that Chen Mi and others had been plotted, he could not stop the courage and loyalty in his heart, so he had to give up his position as the county magistrate and return to Ba County with Chen Mi and others.
"Why did he frame me?" Chen Mi was really unwilling to accept it.
"It's nothing more than Fenreal! You happen to be his promotion." After a brief explanation, Gan Ning said hurriedly: "Time is tight, and it's too late if you don't leave! I guess that Zhang Ziqiao must have a backup!"
While speaking, Gan Ning pulled Chen Mi and was about to evacuate. At this time, a large number of soldiers from the Maid House had appeared on the streets, and the garrison soldiers began to clean up and receive them to ensure that the prince’s return will be smooth today.
His face changed in surprise, Chen Mi turned his head and looked at Lou Fa, and looked at Gan Ning at the same time. The guards of the Mu Mansion had already begun to clear the scene. Although it was not easy to find where they were hiding, if Zhang Song reported the secret at that time, he would definitely be exposed.
Instead of waiting until then, it is almost the best way to escape.
Holding the iron halberd in his hand tightly, Gan Ning glanced at Chen Mi helplessly, Lou Fa, "It's too late. It seems that General Zuo Zhonglang's time to enter the city is ahead of schedule!"
"What should I do?" Lou Fa asked nervously.
Looking around, Gan Ning let out a sip of turbid air, "There is no way, I can only attack!"
"It may be difficult for so many people to escape." Chen Mi said worriedly.
"Jun Gan, Shen Jun and others will leave first, and I will deal with it here!" At this time, the hero Huazhong, who had been silent next to him, spoke.
As soon as he said this, Gan Ning couldn't help but look at him a few more times, "This move will be a life-threatening one's life. Should the righteous man really do this?"
"I have received favor from Mr. Shen for many years, but I just regret not being able to repay you. Now that I have the chance, I should go through fire and water!"
He nodded and responded. At this moment, Gan Ning was not pretentious and said directly: "Then we will evacuate quietly later. Once we are discovered, we will quickly separate. The hero goes to the south gate and we will go to the west gate!"
With a loud bang, Hua Zhong responded without frowning.
The number of guards on the avenue gradually began to increase. Because the governor of the state was eager to miss his son, the whole Mu Mansion regarded this matter extremely important. Of course, the affairs of the governor of Weizhou and the princes should not be ignored.
Liu Yan specifically told Pang Xi to take this matter seriously, and he began to drive troops to investigate the site early in the morning. Just when Pang Xi led the guards to survey a house quite close to the Mu Mansion, suddenly the loud shouts of soldiers came.
Then hundreds of men holding weapons rushed out of the house. At that moment, Pang Xi's expression changed drastically and he immediately ordered arrest and killed. These people seemed to have been ready to escape, and they quickly fled in one encounter.
This riot also alarmed Liu Yan in the Mu Mansion and was helped out of the Mu Mansion. After Liu Yan learned about the situation, his face was gloomy. Pang Xi naturally knew that it was his own disadvantage. After asking for guilt, he immediately sent someone to pursue him!
As for Liu Yan, he stood in front of the Mu Mansion and waited. In fact, it was not that he didn't want to return to the Mu Mansion, but that his old disease on his back had recently suffered from it, and his body felt very painful every time he moved. However, in order to show his importance to Liu Fan to the civil and military officials in Yizhou, he still gritted his teeth and decided to come out in person to greet him.
This is used to break the rumors of father-son disagreement in prefectures and counties recently. At the same time, it also tells the families in Yizhou that Liu Fan is his designated heir. Even if he is not Liu Yan, his Liu family is still the sky on this land!
The news that the Yizhou Governor Liu Yan was waiting in front of the Mu Mansion was quickly spread to the palaces of various officials in the state. He was originally planning to estimate that the time was almost time to go to the ministers of Yizhou, and quickly trotted to the Mu Mansion.
Wang Shang, Zhang Yu, Zhou Qun, Zhang Su, Lu Chang and other subordinate officials from the Maid House arrived one after another and stood respectfully on both sides.
As a father and the governor of Yizhou, it was already a great etiquette for Liu Yan to leave the palace to welcome his sons.
At this time, Liu Fan had already slowly entered the city under the leadership of the Shu County Commander Zhang Ren. To prevent Liu Fan from encountering danger, Liu Yan specially asked the Shu County Commander Zhang Ren to pick up the guards. After Liu Fan learned that the other party was Zhang Ren, he also greeted him.
So in Zhang Ren's eyes, the eldest son of Yizhou Mu was not only extraordinary in temperament, but also very kind in his personality. After a while of contact, his favorability towards Liu Fan increased rapidly.
The eldest son of the governor of the state seemed to be quite interested in martial arts, and most of the topics he talked to was inseparable from him. Who in the county was the most brave and who in the county knew the most military affairs? Zhang Ren naturally responded truthfully and told Liu Fan the courage of the county magistrate Gan Ning.
However, after hearing this, the eldest son of the governor seemed to be a little unbelievable, as if he had confirmed it several times before he stopped asking. I don’t know if he was saying something wrong, so the Zuo Zhonglang General then just held the reins and didn’t speak along the way.
I don't know what he was thinking about.
Under the leadership of Zhang Ren, the group quickly arrived at the provincial governor's mansion. A long distance away, Liu Fan saw Liu Yan leading a group of people waiting in front of the gate. He quickly turned over and dismounted. Liu Fan led his two younger brothers to trot in front of Liu Yan.
Without saying a word, he knocked on the ground with a gurgle, "Unfool Zifan, I haven't served my father for several years. Please punish me!"
"Get up, get up!" He quickly stepped forward to help Liu Fan up, held Liu Fan's arm in both hands, looked up and down for a long time, and Liu Yan smiled and said, "My son is back! Everyone, my son is finally back intact!"
It was like an ordinary old man who had been many years, happily showing off to his acquaintances after seeing his eldest son return to his hometown. At this time, Liu Yan was not a powerful overlord, but an old father who simply hoped that his eldest son would return.
At this moment, the ministers congratulated each other.
Then the guests and hosts had fun, and Liu Yan slowly returned to the Mu Mansion with the help of Liu Fan and Liu Dan.
When everyone had just divided the main troops and took their seats, the General Pang Xi of the Central Army hurried in and reported: "The county magistrate Gan Ning abandoned his official position and fled with the previous assassins!"
