Chapter 3 General's Mansion

Songzhi Immortal Order? This is a completely unfamiliar name. Fan Xian thought of a man named Songgan Zanpu, shook his head and asked, "This is the language on the grassland..."

His brow suddenly raised, thinking that if the mysterious figure came to the grassland from the outside, then the pseudonym must have its true meaning: "But it should have its own meaning."

"This is the tribe language of the brothers in the north, not the language on the grassland." Hu Ge took the scimitar back into the sheath and said seriously: "I have been checking for three months and have been able to confirm that this person is the grassland that followed the northern tribe. I don't know very well about the Songzhi Immortal Order, but the Immortal Order should mean flashing."

Fan Xian frowned, flashing... Glittering, diamonds and shiny? He immediately thought of this name, without thinking that flashing could be an adjective or a certain dynamic of understanding, such as, flowers blooming?

This proves that the Hu tribe has not completely unified the language so far, which will indeed cause trouble to many people. Fan Xian had a headache, had too little information on hand, and only knew what a name could do. He raised his eyes helplessly and looked at Hu Ge and said, "Brothers in the north are still migrating to the grassland?"

Hu Ge nodded with a serious expression: "It's the fourth year. The first year is the brothers from the north who came to explore the way, but there are not many people. The second year is the warriors among the brothers from the north. This group has the largest number of people. In the past two years, the main ones are the elderly, women and children who were still in the north who moved here along the passage opened to the side of the sky vein. "

"If...if Songzhi Xianling is a member of the tribe in the north, then when did he come to the grassland?"

"It should be the previous group, because although this person is mysterious, since it can influence the decision of the tent, there must be absolute support from the northern brothers behind him. Otherwise, who would listen to him?"

"You mean..." Fan Xian stared at Hu Ge's eyes, "The northern brothers have already gained a foothold on the grassland and have been recognized by the royal tent?"

"This is a natural thing. They are very brave. Although there are only tens of thousands of people, they are almost all warriors. In addition, their tribes are united than those on the grassland. Moreover, the aquatic and grass areas they are requested are not greedy. Whether it is the tent or the two wise kings, they are welcomed."

Hu Ge said seriously: "And the northern brothers never participate in internal struggles on the grassland, so they are the targets of all parties. Although their voices are still calm, they appear louder and louder in the ears of us."

Fan Xian nodded and said nothing. The source of tightness in the western border of Qing State was that the northern Qi Dynasty had suffered several years of natural disasters and heavy snow had blocked the land, forcing the northern barbarians to migrate thousands of miles and come to the grassland. The ferocity of the Western Hu and the might of the Northern Barbarians united together, and the pressure on the Qing State's border was naturally increasing.

He felt a little cold in his heart. If the Hu people really united, there would be great trouble in the Qing Kingdom. Originally, under the decades of conquest of Qing Kingdom, the Hu people were already weak, and coupled with the 30 years of weakening and slandering, the Xihu people were not troubled. No one expected that the Northern Barbarians would come, which was like injecting a dose of a heart-boosting injection into these Hu people, but the Songzhi Immortal Order seemed to have a way to bridge the differences between the Hu people.

"Tell me the current situation on the grassland." Fan Xian looked at Hu Ge in front of him with a calm expression. He thought to himself that even if Songzhi Immortal Order could temporarily unite the Hu people, since he found Hu Ge, he would definitely be able to tear a big hole in the Hu people.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little excited. If the grassland is a game of chess, then the next step is to make a move with Songzhi Xianling, come and go back and see who will win the final victory.

Of course it was himself. Fan Xian thought so, he had to win. Because he keenly captured the deepest calculations of Songzhi Immortal Ling, and hated the other party's thoughts very much.

The temperature difference between day and night in the western border was extremely large, and the sun moved slowly, just like a certain command given the temperature of Dingzhou City, gradually getting hotter and cooler. As the shadow of the earth wall in the city grew longer and longer, the sun drooped westward and the temperature became lower and lower, the first joint between Fan Xian and Hu Ge was also coming to an end.

After recalling the information I got from Hu Ge in my mind, Fan Xian confirmed that he had benefited a lot from this trip, and then confirmed the contact method and contact details with the other party, and then began to deliver the final profit.

Whether it is gold, silver, treasures, silk, satin, tea bricks and porcelain, it is necessary to be transported to the grassland and handed over to Hu Ge without knowing it. This is a big trouble in itself. Fortunately, although the grassland and Qing Kingdom have been fighting for decades, since Qing Kingdom has always had an absolute advantage, the tribes on the grassland have long been used to paying tribute, and the trade between the two sides has not stopped.

In other words, when the two sides shot poisonous arrows at the foot of Tianshan Mountain, perhaps on the other side of the mountain, the merchants were working hard to move to the grassland, transporting goods from the hinterland of the Central Plains, and changing them to furs and other things. War and commerce did not obstruct each other.

It’s just that important materials like iron, salt, and grain are smuggled privately, which is a bit difficult. But since Fan Xian has written his majesty’s personal order, he certainly doesn’t care about these things.

Hearing Fan Xian's last words, Hu Ge frowned and said, "Mr. Tisi, we have trust, I will tell you this path. I hope you don't let me down... If you really let me down, believe me, don't need to mobilize troops in the king's tent, I can destroy you on the grassland."

Fan Xian knew what the Hu master was afraid of, so he shook his head and said, "Don't worry, although the scenery over you is beautiful, I can't get used to drinking horse milk wine and have no interest in taking the army over."

After getting the promise, Hu Ge put some heart down, picked up the wine bowl, toasted Fan Xian for a while, and then drank it all, the wine leaked, wetting his beard and clothes.

Fan Xian smiled and picked up the wine bowl, preparing to end the transaction, but unexpectedly, he heard a very slight whistle from outside the shop. His brows immediately frowned and put the wine bowl back on the table.

The whistle was very light, like a shepherd was driving a camel, and it did not attract the attention of Hu Ge. Hu Ge found that Fan Xian put the wine bowl back on the table, and his heart was slightly stern. He thought that the other party had any conditions, so he secretly thought that Qingren was indeed cunning and always liked to speak loudly.

Unexpectedly, Fan Xian looked at him and said, "Do you have any problems with the person you brought?"

Hu Ge's face was slightly calmer, and he knew that there was a problem outside the shop. He shook his head and said, "It's all the children who are scattered in the tribe, so there is absolutely no problem." He knew that things were urgent, and while he was talking, he began to pack up and prepare to escape. If the Dingzhou City Military and Government government knew that he was in the city, he would definitely capture him at all costs.

The two sides have fought fiercely in recent years. If they can hold on to the number one master under the tent of Zuo Xian, Dingzhou City will laugh happily.

Fan Xian looked at his movements, but did not get up, lowered his head and said softly: "It's still outside the street, and the encirclement has not been formed. If you walk behind the house, I'll drag it for you for a while."

Hu Ge looked at him and felt a little weird. He took the risk to Dingzhou today, but never expected that the person who contacted him was Fan Tisi of the Qingguo Supervision Bureau, such a noble person.

But it was precisely because Fan Xian personally took action that Hu Ge bets on the other party more trust. This will be of great benefit to the future cooperation between the two parties.

"No." Fan Xian picked up the wine bowl and said, "Be careful all the way, see you next day."

Hu Ge nodded heavily, took the heavy package handed over by Mu Feng'er, put his fingers into his lips and whistled. As soon as he lifted the curtain, he crawled into the back of the mutton shop along the earthen hole. At the same time, some inconspicuous Hu merchants or friends outside the mutton shop also mixed into the crowd at the same time.

"They are used to hiding everywhere. After all, the tribe has been slaughtered for several years. If they want to regain their tribe, there are always many shameful things." Mu Feng'er looked at Fan Xian who lowered his head and drank, and knew what the adults were worried about. He said, "I called the police early. Dingzhou couldn't catch him."

Fan Xian nodded. At this moment, the subordinates of the Supervision Yuan who pretended to be merchants in the Central Plains hurried in and replied: "The school guards of Xidaying have entered the Tujie Street and will arrive soon."

Mu Feng'er glanced at Fan Xian, meaning to see if she wanted to withdraw at this time.

Fan Xian shook his head. Since Dingzhou Army was staring at his group, the convoy on the ground before was also controlled by the other party. The three of them came to the mutton shop, but behind them were several subordinates from six places, distantly placed in order to prevent any unexpected situations. At this time, since both sides met, there was no need to withdraw.

Moreover, for the safety of Hu Ge and his group, Fan Xian had to drag the Qingguo army that captured the spies for a period of time.

"If the other party doesn't take a heavy move, we don't move."

Fan Xian took a sip of wine and said to his subordinates. Mu Fenger and the officials of the Supervision Bureau looked at each other and nodded.

At this moment, there was a noise outside the mutton shop, and the horse's hooves were shocked. I don't know how many people rushed over and surrounded the shop. I vaguely heard an official shouting loudly, as if he had discovered that there was a target leaving the mutton shop.

Fan Xiandi frowned and felt very troublesome. He stood up from the earthen kang, turned around and pulled a piece of bamboo from the mat from under his buttocks, and walked outside the shop.

There was a murderous intent outside the shop. There were 200 Dingzhou soldiers surrounding the shop and aimed the spear in their hands at the people who came out of the shop. The tip of the gun was shot in a cold light, as if it could tie these Central Plains merchants into meat paste at any time.

Outside the encirclement were those good businessmen who were content and persevering themselves. They looked at this scene curiously and nervously, wondering why the local people in the General's Mansion used such a large formation to deal with such merchants. Of course, they had guessed that the identities of these merchants were probably not that simple.

"No one can suspect Hu Ge who escapes because of his existence." This is the true meaning hidden by Fan Xian's order. The nail hidden in the Western Hu of the Supervision Bureau is so important that Fan Xian can't even believe anyone, let alone being watched by so many people.

A soldier came to the school official's ear and said something. The school official's eyes lit up. He must have confirmed the other party's identity. Looking at Fan Xian and his party, he said in a cold voice: "Come on, take these spies for me!"

When Fan Xian looked at the soldier's face, he recognized that the other party was a soldier guarding the city at the East Gate. It was this person who reviewed the documents for his group to enter the city, and immediately knew where the problem was. He couldn't help but smile helplessly and glanced at Mu Feng'er.

Mu Feng'er knew that there was some loophole in her details, which aroused suspicion from Dingzhou. She was extremely annoyed and afraid to make the adults angry. Her face became increasingly ugly. She was surrounded by countless spears and looked at the school official with a cold face. Her eyes seemed to be preparing to bring a bowl of water in a while and swallow the other party raw.

The school official didn't know the psychological activities of these merchants. He looked at the other party's face without fear. He became more and more sure that these merchants were strange. While preparing to issue orders, he sent some subordinates to continue to capture the escaped people, while urging the horse to come to the merchants.

The Dingzhou army could not chase Hu Ge, Fan Xian frowned, Mu Feng'er was ordered, a cold light appeared in his eyes and rubbed his feet. Yellow sand appeared three times, and his whole body was already turning up like a gray shadow. He pressed his palm on the horse's head, and a short knife in his sleeve came out quickly. He wanted to stop the school official who was acting very careless.

Unexpectedly, since the school official dared to be in front of everyone, he was naturally very confident in his skills. He suddenly saw a change, but he was not surprised at all. He lifted the scabbard with one hand and slapped Mu Feng'er's wrist, left the reins with his right hand, and directly touched Mu Feng'er's throat. He made a very clean and neat move, and it was the real Ye family's capture skill.

This school official's martial arts skills are indeed very good, but he just thought that these businessmen might be spies and could not think of the other party's true identity, so he could not help but underestimate the enemy.

He blocked Mu Feng'er, but he could not stop the few black shadows that were almost rising at the same time as Mu Feng'er. He could only hear a few hissing sounds, and several shadows were on the horses riding by the school officials at the same time. The ones were catching hands and the ones were chaotic...

The swordsman assassin in Liudi suddenly took action, even Fan Xian was a little afraid, let alone this inconspicuous soldier in Dingzhou City.

With a whine, the horse suddenly found four people standing on its back, and there was no way to bear it. When the front hooves were soft, they fell down.

A piece of smoke and dust rose, and the soldiers of Dingzhou Army were shocked. They watched their leader easily be caught by the spies.

Mu Feng'er took the scabbard of the school official, placed the short knife in his hand on the other party's neck, and shouted to the Dingzhou army rushing towards him: "Come here if you are not afraid of death."

The school official looked pale. He didn't expect that he could not stop these spies from having a move. He gritted his teeth and shouted at his subordinates: "Catch these people!"

He had already believed at this time that these people were not only spies, but also very powerful spies. For the safety of Dingzhou City, how could they care about their own life and death?

He doesn't care, Fan Xian cares. If a conflict really breaks out, the Dingzhou Army will certainly not be able to keep these people, but how can we explain to the court in the future?

"We are not spies." Fan Xian walked up and looked at everyone and said gently: "We are just businessmen."

After being disturbed by this, the general and the general didn't have time to send out the order to chase him. Hu Ge and his party should have escaped safely from the encirclement. Fan Xian's mood also stabilized a lot. He signaled his subordinates to put down the weapons in their hands, smiled at the brave school official and said, "This military master, his subordinates are all reckless people, which is shocking you."

Naturally no one believes this kind of argument. No matter how reckless the people in the martial arts world are, they dare not attack the imperial army.

The school official touched his tight throat and found that he was still surrounded by these spies. He looked at Fan Xian, who was leading the way and said fiercely: "Look where else can you escape?"

"If you don't run away, we are really just businessmen. We have just overreacted before." After saying this, Fan Xian couldn't help but want to cry. Hu Ge, Hu Ge, I really caused a lot of trouble for you.

"Is that? Which businessman are you?" The school official looked at Fan Xian gloomyly, not seeming to be worried about his safety at all. The soldiers of Dingzhou Army in the periphery didn't know what they were saying, but just went to report to the General's Mansion urgently, and arranged the surrounding siege. Naturally, no one paid attention to the people who might have escaped from the back of the shop.

"Lingnan Xiong Family." Mu Feng'er spoke.

"Since I'm a businessman, come back to my house for examination." The school official's teeth were almost broken and he shouted angrily: "Otherwise, kill it on the spot!"

In his opinion, these spies were afraid that they would start to break through immediately, but they were controlled by them. It would be inconvenient for their subordinates to do it. But no matter what, if they asked them to go back to the general's house for interrogation, the other party would definitely not accept it.

Unexpectedly, the young and handsome businessman thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, we are law-abiding businessmen, of course we are willing to explain it to ourselves."

The school official frowned, not knowing what these spies were thinking. Don’t they know that once they are caught, they will be greeted with endless beatings and interrogations? But since the other party is so confused and stupid, the school official will naturally not miss this opportunity.

"Bind your hands." He looked at Fan Xian and shouted loudly.

Fan Xian, a businessman, was very well-behaved, even more obedient than in front of the emperor. He obediently tied the soldiers of Dingzhou military and local areas into rice dumplings, and his shoulder was hit hard by a soldier, which was really painful.

The officials of the Supervision Bureau under his command were also very honest and surrendered without any struggle. Instead, the soldiers of the Dingzhou Army were a little confused.

Of course, because these spies who looked like businessmen once stopped their immediate superiors with one move, the soldiers were not polite, and secretly used heavy hands while tied them up.

Fan Xian stood beside the school official and pleaded and said, "Don't hit someone."

The school official glared at him. He couldn't figure out how this spy had such a courage and resisting in the street was still a trivial matter. At this time, he could still talk to himself so calmly.

"There is someone in the shop that is fascinated by us. Don't forget to take them back together." At this time, Fan Xian was more like a Dingzhou military and local staff officer.

"Where are so much nonsense coming from? Just wait and die if you want to die." He stared into Fan Xian's eyes and said viciously.

Fan Xian was not angry and said with a wry smile: "The few businessmen I brought into the city must have been captured by the adults, so I would like to ask the adults to say no to punish them."

The school official mocked him and thought that he had seen countless spies. The first person who was so childish and ridiculous was still the first.

Fan Xian looked at him and said seriously: "We didn't kill you before, so what if you just give us a favor?"

The school official became more and more confused, and felt a chill in his heart, thinking that he had done something wrong? But he subconsciously stopped his subordinates and beat the spies.

A major incident happened in Dingzhou City, and another group of spies were arrested. Although there were spies every year and every month, the spies caught in the mutton shop today are different. First, they came from the heart of the Central Plains, and they didn't know whether they wanted to do private salt business with Xihu or had bigger plans. Second, these spies were obviously weird.

The upper class of Dingzhou Army had a great interest in this group of spies. They had never agreed with the decisions of the court and the Supervisory Office. They believed that there was no magical military advisor in the Xihu King's tent. The reason why the Hu people were so powerful in recent years was that there were people within the court colluding with the other party and providing large amounts of support to the other party.

These merchant spies from Jiangnan and through Kyoto seem to have confirmed this more clearly. This matter is so large that it is still possible to interrogate these spies before they can be tried to interrogate them. Now the commander of the military in Dingzhou City has ordered the spies to be taken back to the General's Mansion before reaching out to the Governor's Mansion.

Things like winning the credit, whether on the front line or behind, are actually the same.

The school official escorted Fan Xian and his group into the General's Mansion and found that the general was interrogating himself today. He couldn't help but feel happy and thought that although he had some clowns today, he should have made more contributions than demerits after catching these important figures.

"Have you had time to ask?" The general sitting above grinded his teeth, "What are you waiting for? Break their legs first, then put them on thirty boards before you can ask."

The soldiers of Dingzhou soldiers shouted in unison and prepared to take action.

The general spat and cursed, "Damn it, he didn't kneel down in front of me, he was quite tough... What a shit Lingnan Xiong family, even if you are Xia Mingji's person, I will be beaten up."

Both the government and the military knew that Xia Mingji was Fan Tisi's property, and there were basically no people in this world who dared not to sell Fan Xian's face. What's strange is that the tone of this general's speech did not seem to be bragging.

Fan Xian raised his head with a bitter face and looked at the bearded general of the Western Expedition, thinking to himself why this kid looked so ugly. He sighed and said, "It's impossible to fight."

Li Hongcheng, the imperial general of the Western Expedition Camp, was drinking strong wine angrily, thinking that these bastards and Hu people always didn't let themselves relax. Suddenly, he heard this sentence and subconsciously looked down at the hall, but unexpectedly saw a familiar face.

The facial features on that face changed a little, but the narrow-minded meaning in the eyes was as strong as before.
