Three thousand miles in exile

Liu Zhan took over the Cenzhou barracks with full authority, and spent half a month to rectify military affairs. At the same time, conscription is also in full swing.

In the past, some wealthy military households used money to buy what they needed so that they would not have to go to the battlefield. This time, Liu Zhan must not miss any of them. His goal is to increase the number of troops to [-], and then gradually control the remaining five counties under the jurisdiction of Cenzhou.

This day, the soldiers came to report suddenly. "General, an old friend is visiting."

"Old man?" Liu Zhan was fighting with Cao Zhuang shirtless, wondering if someone from the Liu family in the capital had come.

A few days ago, the Liu family in the capital replied to a letter saying that two son-in-laws who were born in the Juren family had already left for Cenzhou, and the paperwork for the transfer was also prepared. They just waited for them to take over Dingbian County of Yongning County as soon as they arrived.

Zhang Xiaoman quickly approved the official uniform for Liu Zhan.

"Where is the person?" Liu Zhan asked as he walked, picked up his saber and put two soldiers on his waist.

The soldiers leading the way said respectfully: "Wait by the stream outside the camp."

Liu Zhan didn't ask who it was, anyway, he knew it after meeting.

Recently, he has been very busy. The affairs in Cenzhou Mansion have been settled, but the other five counties in Cenzhou have not been grasped yet, and the twists and turns here really give him a headache.

In the early autumn of September, Qiyun Mountain was already breezy, and the leaves of the poplar and maple trees in the forest fell all over the ground. Liu Zhan walked towards the stream, stepping on dead branches and yellow leaves, thinking about something absent-mindedly.

"Boss!" Cao Ming clasped his fists excitedly.

I didn't expect someone from Wuyuan County to come, why did Cao Ming come here, could it be?

Liu Zhan looked at the stream in the forest, and saw the man in a green shirt standing with his hands behind his back, and the phoenix eyes on the corners of his eyes were calmly looking at the red or yellow fallen leaves in the forest, and his figure was as indifferent as an ink painting scene.

This familiar figure that made him dream about, Liu Zhan could no longer tolerate anything else in his eyes.

Raising his hand, Liu Zhan signaled them to go back first.

Cao Ming was clear in his heart, and he immediately withdrew from the forest with his soldiers and stood guard outside.

Hearing the movement behind him, Song Fenglin turned around.

The two hadn't seen each other for ten months, but Liu Zhan in front of him made Song Fenglin dazed for a while.Not only is he darker and taller, but Liu Zhan's aura is all over him, like a tiger that has become a tiger with a sharp edge.

"I miss you so much." Just before Song Fenglin could react, he was lifted up the next moment, and Liu Zhan easily lifted him to his chest.

Song Fenglin looked up to the sky and was speechless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Put me down."

"Don't let go." Liu Zhan kissed him randomly, kissed his face, kissed his chin, kissed his honeyed mouth.

With his feet off the ground, Song Fenglin had to support Liu Zhan's shoulders to stabilize himself. Liu Zhan's arms were wrapped around him like iron arms, but he couldn't push him.

"Don't make trouble!"

Liu Zhan kissed Song Fenglin's tender and fragrant neck, and when he spoke, he changed from his previous force and became less serious. "Several times in my dream, it would take a long time for you to wake up. I'm almost sick."

Song Fenglin was so irritable that his face flushed. "Shut up! I have business to see you, who told you this!"

Liu Zhan said shamelessly. "I originally planned to go back to Wuyuan to vent my anger on you after finishing the matter at hand, but this will save me from making this trip. Do we have a good understanding?"

Song Fenglin's neck was completely red, and he understood that he would not listen to what Liu Zhan said.

"Let me down first! Do you want to be here?" Song Fenglin stared at him helplessly. Although his momentum was a little weaker, he still expressed his determination to leave immediately if Liu Zhan dared to mess around here.

Liu Zhan chuckled. "There's nothing wrong here, Cao Ming and the others are guarding outside."

"You! Dare! Try! Try!" Song Fenglin gritted his teeth and pinched his face.

"But you can't just let me go out like this?" Liu Zhan put down Song Fenglin and motioned him to watch.

Liu Zhan put his arms around him and coaxed him with bright eyes. "you help me?"

"no!"

"Just touch."

"no!"

"I promise it will be soon."

"Do not……"

This stinking hooligan! ! !

After autumn, Qi Yunshan began to have short days and long nights. In the Cenzhou barracks, Liu Zhan's study was lit like beans, and Song Fenglin read letters from Liu's family in the capital a few days ago by the dim light.

Zhang Xiaoman and Cao Ming set the meal in person, with meat and wine, and quietly retreated after the table was full.

"These two sent by the Liu family are only sons-in-law of the common clan and not nephews of the family. Can you trust them?" Song Fenglin asked after reading the letter.

Liu Zhan leaned on the kang and looked at Song Fenglin's soft and handsome profile under the candlelight, smiled and said softly: "It doesn't matter, if you dare to be disobedient in my territory, I will teach him whether to come back or not."

Although his voice was gentle, Song Fenglin could still hear the cold meaning in Liu Zhan's words.

This time Song Fenglin secretly came to Cenzhou to meet Liu Zhan for an important reason. Liu Zhan killed Fang Zhao and expelled Cenzhou Fang's family. Of course Pei Wanshan didn't dare to hide it from Liu Xueyuan. On the day he received the letter, Liu Xueyuan was so angry that he couldn't eat or drink all day drink.

This set of rules of dividing people into ranks and ranks has existed for hundreds of years and has long been deeply ingrained in the hearts of the family. Liu Zhan's move is not to kill Fang Zhao but to be an enemy of the family of the world.

Song Fenglin closed the letter and sighed inwardly. "You can't just kill people who don't submit to you every time you meet them. Killing people can make people fear you, but they can't make people respect you and convince you. Everything in the world is not as simple as you think."

If the person preaching at this time was Liu Xueyuan or the person next to him, Liu Zhan would probably have jumped up.

He is a person who is strong when he encounters the strong, he is so tyrannical, he has an air of disobedience in his heart, and it is all because of this air that he has been able to get to this point in his last life and survive in the battlefield where there are mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Kill a world.

Liu Zhan knew what he wanted. When Prince Rui was begging for perfection in front of the General, his heart was clear, he could go forward bravely, and he was fearless.

Liu Zhan's eyes are as motionless as a mountain, and his heart is as firm as a rock.

After putting down the letter, Song Fenglin came to him.

"I know that there are gaps in your heart, and you have your own superiority and superiority in judging and handling things. However, today's aristocratic families have existed for hundreds of years, and the relationships among them are intricate. Many emperors in all dynasties have tried to eradicate them, but without exception they ended in failure."

Song Fenglin said earnestly: "This is because the hierarchy is the foundation of the family. If you move the foundation of their existence, you will be attacked by the family of the world."

Attacking each other between aristocratic families is just a flesh wound, but moving the hierarchy is tantamount to breaking the roots of the world's aristocratic families, which is a big taboo!

Liu Zhan's dark pupils seemed to be flickering with light.

"Three lords, nine ministers, princes, generals, and super-first-class families will not be questioned by the government for murder, officials for murder by the first-class family of princes above the fourth rank will not be tried, and the government for murder by the second-class family below the fifth rank will not be judged."

Song Fenglin sat on the edge of the Kang. "This is only the prerequisite for the children of the noble family to kill the children of the noble family. It is the privilege of the third-class noble families in the world to judge the life and death of the sixth-class ordinary people."

Liu Zhan's dark pupils shrank.

"Not only that." Song Fenglin continued. "The clans and surnames in the world all have a definite number. The clan surnames have been compiled into books through the dynasties. The rank order of the upper and third families may change, but it is impossible for a poor family to become an aristocratic family forever."

Today, people are divided into three, six, and nine classes, and the top three are nobles, big clans, hereditary courts, and local officials.

The middle and third classes are the small clans, good people, and merchants. These are all local small clans, and the small clans are the descendants of clans who have been removed from the five uniforms and have no official status.

The lower three classes are military households, artisan households, and tenant households, all of which are craftsmen, also known as lowly.

Speaking of this, Song Fenglin suddenly laughed mockingly. "As for slaves who are not in the ninth class, they may be compared to livestock."

Hearing this, Liu Zhan laughed wantonly and flamboyantly. He dragged Song Fenglin to sit down at the table of the Eight Immortals, and poured wine for him with a smile.

"I have a sentence, Shiqing doesn't know if he has heard it or not." Liu Zhan drank a glass, and his stomach was burning with strong alcohol.

"That sentence is that princes and generals are kind to each other."

Song Fenglin was stunned.

This is a sentence summed up by a country in another time and space after 5000 years of experience. It is like a thunderbolt to appear in Song Fenglin's ears more than 2000 years in advance.

Since the Zhou Dynasty, the clans and surnames in the world have been deeply rooted in everyone's bone marrow by paying attention to their origin and rank. People are born into different ranks, but now Liu Zhan says that princes and generals are better off?

These words can be described as extreme treason!

Liu Zhan looked at Song Fenglin, looked at his Danfeng eyes that were wide open due to shock, smiled, and then looked at him firmly.

"Prince Rui is the most powerful and most likely to inherit the throne among the princes, so it is impossible for Prince Rui to be permanently stationed in the northern border. As for General Zhou Chan, who is the next Patriarch of the Zhou family's eldest son, it is impossible for him to be permanently stationed in the northern border, so They are all anxious to control northern Xinjiang as soon as possible."

Liu Zhan casually drank and ate meat.

"Jinyang is restricted by the Yan family, Ruichang is restricted by the Pei family, and Daizhou is restricted by the Fang family. These high-ranking families in northern Xinjiang are not easy-going lamps. How could they obediently bow their heads to Prince Rui."

"Only I, Cen Zhou, are willing to stand up for Prince Rui." Liu Zhan raised the wine glass in his hand towards Song Fenglin. "Furthermore, only I, Liu Zhan, have the guts to become Prince Rui's sword, sweeping away the aristocratic families in Northern Xinjiang who are unwilling to submit to him."

The more Liu Zhan offended Prince Rui and Zhou Chan, the local clans in northern Xinjiang, the more he trusted him and reused him, because Liu Zhan who was against the Northern Xinjiang family had no choice but to rely on Prince Rui and Zhou Chan, such a person was the safest and most useful.

But for Liu Zhan, this is tantamount to a double-edged sword, if he fails to complete the task, he is Prince Rui's abandoned son, and he will be pushed out by Prince Rui at any time to appease the wrath of the families.

Liu Zhan knew all these things, and even after careful consideration, he still chose to do this.

Song Fenglin's ice-like Danfeng eyes looked at Liu Zhan without blinking. He thought he knew the person in front of him well enough, but at this moment Song Fenglin felt that the person in front of him was strange and unfathomable.

He is no longer the wild boy who caught his prey and went crazy to please his sweetheart. This is a man with foresight and foresight. He is already a man who can control a party's power.

Suddenly coming back to his senses, Song Fenglin drank the wine in his glass. He doesn't drink often but now he needs a little drunk to cover up the panic in his heart.

"I promise you that you will be more cautious in your follow-up actions, and try to avoid conflicts if you can." Liu Zhan put a chopstick of meat on the white rice for him. "Let's eat first, the food is going to be cold."

Song Fenglin chewed and ate slowly. "Conquering the remaining five counties of Cenzhou still needs a long-term plan. Some unusable people can find ways to be promoted or transferred. Local powerful assassins can be suppressed or threatened. Don't kill them all if you have to."

"I know, next spring at the latest, I will settle down the inside and outside of Cenzhou, and Xiang Shi will pick you up to take charge of the overall situation."

Liu Zhan grinned, pouring wine and serving food attentively. "You know, I don't want to think about those convoluted things. If I can't figure it out, I will solve it with my fist. If you come, I will do what you say, and do what you say."

After dinner, Liu Zhan had already sent someone to prepare a bucket full of hot water for Song Fenglin to wash and wash, and even undressed Song Fenglin himself, with a certain intention in that delicate appearance.

Song Fenglin angrily drove him out of the room like a mirror in his heart, Liu Zhan knew that he was thin-skinned and couldn't go too far.

When Song Fenglin came out of the inner room wearing single clothes, he was immediately hugged by Liu Zhan. Liu Zhan couldn't hold back his anger, and as long as he got on the kang, his heart and eyes were full of certain things.

"Don't..." Song Fenglin refused with a red face.

The clothes were thrown into some corner, and Liu Zhan suddenly stopped in the rustling, why is it not as good as before?

Usually Song Fenglin in Wuyuan County drank deer blood to recuperate his body the next day, but he must have not drank it for several days when he came out of Cenzhou this time.

Liu Zhan had a bad premonition in his heart, and he wanted to go back and ask the doctor without telling the truth.

At this time, Liu Zhan didn't want to bear it anymore.

"Something different tonight." Liu Zhan smiled and kissed his lips.

God knows that Song Fenglin was most afraid of him saying this, until...he wished he could bury Liu Zhan in the pit.

What happened next completely refreshed his cognition. Song Fenglin was startled, angry and embarrassed at first, and tears of humiliation filled the beautiful Danfeng's eyes.

Liu Zhan couldn't listen to what Liu Zhan was whispering in his ears. At the last moment, Song Fenglin's mind was muddled with only one thought, it's over, he's over.

The next day, when the sky was getting brighter, drums sounded in the Cenzhou barracks, and the soldiers of the whole battalion had to gather for morning training.

Accompanied by the drumbeat, Liu Zhan appeared refreshed on the school grounds. He casually put the hem of his official uniform on his waist, went to the weapon rack, took a halberd, and then caught Cao Ming and fought him like a chicken.

Among the dozen or so teenagers who followed Liu Zhan first, the lowest positions are now heads of thousands of households.

All of them were shot by Liu Zhan himself. At present, only Cao Ming is not with Liu Zhan. Cao Ming seems to be holding his breath and trying his best to fight Liu Zhan.

In the end, Liu Zhan was even better.

Cao Ming was exhausted and lay down on the ground, Liu Zhan walked over and pulled him up.

"Boss, let me stay by your side, I also want to go to the battlefield." Cao Ming cried sadly.

Liu Zhan touched the sweat on his face. "There will be opportunities in the future."

Cao Ming howled. "But after a long time, you will forget about me."

Liu Zhan patted the back of his head funny. "What are you thinking? Everyone's parents, wives and children are all in Wuyuan County. How can I feel at ease if someone else guards it? When the overall situation in Cenzhou is settled, I will naturally take you with me."

"Really? Boss, it's settled." Cao Ming laughed and got up and followed Liu Zhan for a morning jog.

"Everything is fine in Wuyuan County. I have sent a hundred soldiers to stay near Yunzhong Academy. On weekdays, Tiancang Village does not allow outsiders to enter or leave. If there is any change, I will notify you as soon as possible."

That day Song Fenglin slept until the sun was up, and woke up with sore body at noon, and saw the culprit as soon as he opened his eyes.Liu Zhan folded his clothes and lay on his side reading a book, Song Fenglin picked up a book and threw it at him without saying a word.

"Murder your own husband, you." Liu Zhan didn't dodge or dodge and was still smiling playfully after being hit on the head.

Thinking of the toss and toss last night, Song Fenglin became so angry that he raised his foot and kicked, and then kicked again when he was dodged, this shameless stinky hooligan forced him to say those nasty things, just thinking about it makes him panic with embarrassment .

"Hey, don't kick the bottom. You can only use the five-fingered girl after you kick it." Liu Zhan held the white jade foot and did not let go.

What five-fingered girl?Song Fenglin froze for a moment before realizing it, and his ears turned red immediately.

It was precisely because he blushed as soon as he teased him that a certain rascal couldn't stop, Liu Zhan took the opportunity to lower his head and kissed his instep, Song Fenglin withdrew his foot like an electric shock and hurriedly hid it under the quilt.

Liu Zhan felt even more itchy in his heart, and the next moment he rushed over to hold him down and rubbed him. The so-called little farewell is better than a newlywed, and Liu Zhan almost stayed with him all day long, and at night he became even more shameless.

On the third day of staying in Cenzhou for a long time due to inconvenience, Song Fenglin and his party set off to return to Wuyuan County. Before leaving, he left 3 taels of silver notes for Liu Zhan.

"You have to show filial piety to Shangfeng in the army. Although there are not many generals from the capital who may not be favored by them, etiquette is still required. If you think about it, those adults will not care about a boy from a poor village." Song Fenglin said ridicule.

"You're right, I'm a wild boy from a remote village." Liu Zhan laughed.

He personally led the horse for Song Fenglin, and the two walked side by side on the path in the forest.

Song Fenglin looked at Lin Zi's yellow and red leaves with worry in his eyes. "Zhou Chan's place, I'm afraid you have to go there to explain Fang Zhao in person. People with high positions and powers are also very suspicious. If you don't dispel his doubts, it will accumulate over time and become a hidden danger."

Liu Zhan put his arms around his shoulders. "I will, don't worry." After that, he sighed. "It's over, I can't bear to let you go back."

Song Fenglin gave him a blank look and got on his horse. Cao Ming and others, who fell far behind, also quickly got on their horses when they saw it.

Liu Zhan stood with his hands behind his back and looked at his sweetheart with piercing eyes. "I'll pick you up after spring begins."

Song Fenglin nodded, he wanted to ride his horse and leave, but he was worried and ordered again.

"Compared to Prince Rui's trust, Zhou Chan's trust is more important. Without the Zhou family, Prince Rui is nothing. When dealing with the old fox, don't act too hastily. You can only boil the frog slowly."

Liu Zhan smiled. "I will, go back and greet the old lady and my parents for me."

Song Fenglin looked at Liu Zhan, his phoenix eyes were bright and bright, like a pool of water turned from ice and snow, clear and clear. "Take care of yourself."

After finishing speaking, he rode his horse and ran, and Cao Ming and a dozen other guards hurriedly rode their horses to catch up.

Liu Zhan turned around and walked back until the group of people disappeared at the end of the forest path, and the sound of horseshoes could not be heard in the distance.

With a long sigh, Liu Zhan tapped his forehead to laugh at himself. "The soul is gone."
