turmoil

Zhang Jingche told the whole story in detail. He thought that according to Yang Houye's violent temper, he would not lose his temper, and he would also greet the eighteen generations of Governor Li's ancestors one by one. Beside the bonfire, a washed and peeled rabbit is roasting.

Zhang Jingche spoke dryly, seeing that Marquis Dingbian didn't respond at all, he couldn't help but angrily said, "Did you hear that?"

Yang Fan heard it clearly, but he didn't know what to say, and he was full of thoughts elsewhere—just now Zhang Jingche fainted suddenly, Ding Bianhou was startled, he couldn't think too much in his panic, he picked him up in a hurry, and panicked He found a secluded place and changed his already soaked outer clothes for him.Unexpectedly, this man's clothes inside and out were soaked by the river water, and he only wore a thin tunic underneath, trying to cover his vitals, but it was worse than not covering.

Yang Fan just changed his clothes, his mouth was dry and he couldn't hold himself back, he raised his eyes unexpectedly, and saw the man's neck as white as jade, and most of his hair was loose, loosely draped over his shoulders, against the backdrop of black and white, it was a bit shocking .

Marquis Dingbian's mind was full of Zhang Jingche's slender neck, and he didn't dare to take a second look at his nose, nose, nose, and heart: "I heard... this bastard surnamed Li is not for a day or two. He followed King Ping wholeheartedly." , What can't be done to seek a success from the dragon? Opening a private mine and detaining a bunch of refugees are nothing but trifles!"

Zhang Jingche closed his eyes, and said weakly: "That's not a group of refugees, at least there are thousands of them. After a flood, they were completely washed away. I'm afraid few survived... Such a perverse and reckless approach to human life, really Let King Ping gain power, and I will be exhausted!"

Finally, Dingbianhou was willing to look away from the rabbit, and gave him a look: "Is this something you can say? Just say it in front of me. If someone else hears it, ten lives are not enough for you to die!"

Zhang Jingche turned his head, his expression was tired, he didn't know whether it was tiredness or discouraged: "People who have died once, what is there to be afraid of..."

Yang Fan: "You yourself are not afraid of death, what about the girl you married into the Eastern Palace?"

Zhang Jingche seemed to be pricked by a needle, his brows were visibly furrowed.

He didn't want to speak, but Yang Fan felt guilty and didn't dare to speak nonsense. The two of them had their own secrets, and they fell silent in unison.Fortunately, at this time, bursts of meaty aromas wafted out, tantalizing appetites in different ways. Zhang Jingche was trapped in the black mine for many days. He didn't eat well or drink well. After traveling around for a long time, he was already hungry .He involuntarily slid down his throat, rationally trying to cover it up, but his empty stomach let out a roar.

Yang Fan: "..."

He raised his head and asked with a straight face, "Why, are you hungry?"

Zhang Jingche thought, "Nonsense!"

It may be that his dissatisfaction and resentment were too obvious, Yang Fan rarely showed kindness, tore off a hind leg from the roasted rabbit, sliced ​​the rabbit meat off with a dagger, and fed it to Zhang Jingche bit by bit.

Zhang Jingche had never been served so meticulously before, let alone the person who served him was a first-rank military lord, and he felt uncomfortable immediately.He wanted to do it himself, but as soon as the clinker was struggling, Yang Fan yelled back: "Be honest, don't touch your feet!"

Zhang Jingche was pinned on the head with a huge scapegoat, and he was so wronged: "I, when will I..."

Before he finished speaking, a mouthful of fragrant and oily rabbit meat was stuffed into his mouth, blocking back his unfinished accusation.

Hou Jiu of Dingbian lived in the Northwest for a long time. He had never eaten pork but had seen pigs run away. The skill of the barbecue was surprisingly good. The meat was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.Zhang Jingche ate with gusto, and looked up unexpectedly, only to see Yang Fan who was being fed, his eyelids drooping all the time, as if he didn't pay much attention to him.

Marquis Dingbian always had his eyes higher than his head, Zhang Jingche had already gotten used to it, biting the rabbit meat without saying a word.Who knows that Yang Fan didn't raise his head, it wasn't that he didn't care to look at him, but he didn't dare to look at him at all——Zhang Jingche's collarbone was loose, revealing a section of white jade-like collarbone, and the end was bent into a subtle arc, which made people look at him more and more want to see.

"It's so strange," Yang Fan wondered to himself, "Ben Hou once lived among thousands of flowers without even touching his body. There are so many beauties in the Drunken Red House. I haven't seen any of them that fascinated me. How could he be so hot to a man?" stand up?"

While he was puzzled, he secretly looked at Zhang Jingche, only to see that he was licking the fat on his fingertips after eating the rabbit meat.That was a perfectly natural move, but when placed on Zhang Jingche, there was an indescribable obsequiousness.

"Like a vixen," Yang Fan thought angrily, "specially seduces men's hearts!"

He reached out his hand to feel for it, and found that the coat had dried out, so he tore off the coat and threw it on Zhang Jingche's body: "It's getting late, and the mountain road is not safe. Let's rest here for one night, and we will start after dawn."

Zhang Jingche twisted for a while, and managed to free his head: "No...no way!"

Yang Fan frowned: "What?"

"We can't delay here any longer," Zhang Jingche said in a deep voice, "The Japanese pirates haven't gone far, and they may find them at any time. It's too dangerous to stay here, and we must leave as soon as possible."

Yang Fan looked him up and down, showing hesitation rarely: "But..."

"It doesn't matter to me," Zhang Jingche gathered his strength for a long time, and finally managed to stand up, "I...I can go!"

Yang Fan knew that what he said was right, they stayed here for too long, the longer they stayed, the more dangerous they would be.But he couldn't see that Zhang Jingche was acting forcefully, weighed it for a long time, and suddenly pulled him away. Zhang Jingche staggered, slammed into Yang Fan's arms involuntarily, turned around and said angrily, "What are you doing?"

Yang Fan rubbed the tip of his nose, turned around without warning, and slightly bowed his back: "Come on."

Zhang Jingche was taken aback: "What?"

Yang Fan didn't turn his head back: "Look at your appearance, take two steps and pant three times, before you get out of the woods, you can't hold it anymore... I will be aggrieved by my colleagues, I will go behind your back."

Zhang Jingche was taken aback, he never expected that Marquis Dingbian would be so condescending: "But..."

Impatient to hear his wordy words, Yang Fan simply grabbed his arm and carried him directly on his shoulders.

Marquis Dingbian's personal guard wandered around in the deep mountains like headless flies for half a night, finally finding the right direction, and when he hurriedly searched, he only found a bunch of bonfires that were about to burn out.

The leader of the family knelt down and searched carefully for a while, and found a series of inconspicuous footprints behind the bushes.He stood up, followed the direction of the footprints and looked into the depths of the night: "Master Hou should not have gone very far, hurry up and chase after him!"

It is true that Yang Fan did not go far, but the mountain roads are rugged and the forests are luxuriant. It is not easy to trace the traces of Dingbian Hou?He was in the mountains and forests, Zhang Jingche on his back suddenly pulled the tip of his hair: "Hey!"

Yang Fan turned his head: "What's wrong?"

Zhang Jingche was carried on the back by Marquis Dingbian. After walking like this for a while, his thoughts gradually became clear: "Master Marquis came here all night after receiving my request for help?"

Yang Fan gave a short "hmm".

Zhang Jingche: "Did something happen to you when you went to look for the General Soldier of Zhejiang this time?"

Yang Fan didn't hide it from him, and briefly told about the Japanese private soldiers. Zhang Jingche listened silently, and said after a long while: "No wonder..."

Yang Fan was taken aback: "No wonder what?"

Zhang Jingche thought to himself: No wonder that Li Wenbin jumped over the wall suddenly. It turned out that the incident happened in the east window and he was busy covering up the traces... The mountain torrent was rushed in time, no matter the refugees or the local garrison ordered by Li Wenbin, none of them stayed. The hard bullying the soft, but it turned out to be like this."

"I have ordered Lu Zongbing to arrest Li Wenbin." Yang Fan seemed to guess what he was thinking, and comforted him in an unskilled manner, "Anyway, he did not run away by raising private soldiers. This crime alone is enough to punish the nine clans." .”

Zhang Jingche said, "What about the tens of thousands of refugees who died in vain?"

Yang Fan couldn't help being startled.

Zhang Jingche closed his eyes, knowing that he was asking for blame - no matter how much Dingbianhou has his family and country in his heart, he is still a prince, a prince, and aristocratic family. He has thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in his chest, but how can he see a handful of ants under the community? ?

"Staying in such an imperial court is really boring!" Xu was tired after injury, Zhang Jingche's heart was exhausted in the usual days, and he thought wearily, "Why don't you take advantage of this danger...to escape alone?"

Just let those nobles in Beijing think that he died in the mountain torrents, and fulfilled his promise to be loyal to the East Palace. For the sake of "loyalty" in this area, the Queen and the East Palace will definitely treat Zhang Jingsu who is married as a side concubine kindly.

The more Zhang Jingche thought about it, the more feasible it became. After all, Yang Fan was the only one who knew he was alive, and Marquis Dingbian had always disliked him, so he must be very happy to see this "Ning Xing" roll away from Donggong mellowly.

"Master Hou," Zhang Jingche made up his mind, "I have something to ask."

Zhang Tongzhi has always been sharp-tongued and seldom shows weakness. At this moment, he suddenly softened his tone, and Yang Fan was still a little uncomfortable: "You...you say it!"

Just as Zhang Jingche was about to speak, there was a sharp wind in the slanting stab, and the expressions of the two of them changed at the same time.In the next moment, Yang Fan rolled down on the spot, and two flying chains tied with sharp hooks came through the air, passing him dangerously.Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, a dozen or so men in black rushed out from the depths of the night, with a samurai sword in their hands, and the sound of the wind was sharp, threatening to attack Yang Fan's vitals.

Yang Fan cursed secretly, and fled into the dense forest without looking back.It wasn't that he was afraid of the man in black, but that he was carrying a large living person on his back, so it was really inconvenient to do it.The Marquis of Ding Bian rushed tens of feet in one breath, and hid Zhang Jingche deep in the grass nest. He only had time to tell him in a hurry: "Hide well, don't make a sound."

Zhang Jingche shrank into a ball obediently.

The men in black were all brains, they only cared about chasing the living things, and no one found that there was a big living person hidden in the grass nest.Zhang Jingche held his breath and heard the sound of footsteps gradually receding. Then he struggled to get out, looked around, and saw that there were no stars and moons in the forest. It was the darkest hour before dawn, so he supported the tree trunk and stood up with difficulty. .

"This is a good opportunity!" He thought calmly, "I can escape now... On the way, I can forge the traces of slipping down the cliff. With Marquis Yang's shrewdness, he will naturally understand what I mean. Just roam around."

He is not a person in this world, and he has a soul that is out of place in his chest. The reason why he has endured humiliation for so many years is just to repay the grace of saving his life and the love of nurturing.Now that his vengeance has been avenged, and Zhang Jingsu has gotten his wish and married into the East Palace, he has paid off his adoptive mother's kindness, and it is time to consider his own way out.

"The East Palace is nothing more than that, but the Zhaoyang Palace is shrewd and cautious. I have to find a place far away from the emperor," Zhang Jingche thought, "Lingnan and Diangui have always been regarded as wild places, inaccessible, or... …Further south, Cochin is also good.”

As he thought about it, he glanced in the direction where the man in black had disappeared, and told himself rationally, "Marquis Ding Bian is very skilled, a few men in black must not be able to do anything to him", but he couldn't help worrying emotionally.

"That kid...shouldn't be capsized in the gutter, right?" Zhang Jingche frowned, "If a dignified first-rank military lord falls into the hands of a few Japanese, the coffin boards of the Dingbian lords of all dynasties will not be able to hold it down!"

After saying this several times, he seemed to have convinced himself, and finally made up his mind, and limped out of the woods.

Yang Fan slipped a group of men in black away, and then stopped.He has lived for 20 years, and he has never been chased so embarrassingly. At that moment, anger grew from his heart, and the evil turned to the gut.

Marquis Dingbian's kung fu was taught by the old Hou Ye himself, and he has been honed in the wind and sand in northern Xinjiang for many years, and he is fierce and fast.The men in black went into battle one by one, but couldn't hold him down for a while, became impatient, and simply retreated.

Yang Fan thought "Not good", and saw the long chain flying straight towards him, wrapped around his arms like a poisonous snake.The two men in black exerted their strength at the same time, the chains suddenly stretched straight, Yang Fan couldn't help himself, and fell on his back.As soon as his back hit the ground, he rolled out, avoiding the long knife that fell on his head, and then stood up, but his legs were entangled by chains.

The man in black was very cunning, he knew that this man was difficult to deal with, so instead of confronting him head-on, he stood at a distance and straightened the chain.Yang Fan let out an angry roar, dragged the man in black staggered two steps, put his horizontal knife on the short thorn in front of him, kicked his legs backwards, and kicked him out.

But more long chains were thrown over, and Yang Fan was torn apart, turning into a flying insect stuck to the spider web.The man in black laughed strangely, and forced him from four directions. Seeing that Dingbianhou was inevitable, he somehow gathered his strength and knocked the men in black from four directions to the ground.

Suddenly there was a rustling movement in the dense forest. It was the sound of footsteps falling neatly and in unison, light but fast, silent and chilling, approaching in an instant.

The man in black only had time to turn his head, and the dazzling light of the knife was already in his eyes. It was a well-trained general trained by the Dingbian Hou Mansion.Although there were not many people, they formed an effective formation, and every time the knife fell, it would definitely bring a cloud of blood.

Seeing that he was invincible, the leading man in black sucked his lips and let out a long roar, followed by the man in black, and soon disappeared without a trace.

The general rushed forward, helped the embarrassed Dingbianhou to his feet, and hurriedly unchained him.Yang Fan remained expressionless throughout the whole process, unable to discern whether it was shame or anger, he only heard the general feel guilty saying: "My subordinate is late in responding, please forgive me, Lord Hou!"

Yang Fan was expressionless: "Did you see Zhang Tongzhi when you came here?"

The general was taken aback: "What, did you find Zhang Tongzhi? Is he with you?"

The two stared wide-eyed for a moment, Yang Fan pushed back the general's head, which was in front of him, and turned back quickly.A group of personal guards searched four times, but found no one, only a line of crooked footprints on the muddy ground, judging the direction, it turned out to be going outside the forest.

The family general was in shock: "Master Hou, Zhang Tong knows this is..."

Yang Fan closed his eyes, understood Zhang Jingche's intentions in a blink of an eye, and asked in a deep voice, "What Zhang Tongzhi?"

The general looked confused: "Huh?"

Yang Fan turned around and stared at him firmly: "You and I have never seen Zhang Tongzhi, and I don't know where he went... No, he should have fallen off a cliff. It's more or less ominous, remember?"

The general was stared at by his master Hou, sweating coldly, and bowed his head in agreement.
