In just over a month, Fang Yun was promoted from a school captain to an acting captain. This incident caused quite a shock within the Yancheng army.
"It seems that the Marquis takes great care of the second son of the Fang family. He was promoted to captain in just over a month!"
"What does this matter have to do with Lord Marquis? The appointment of the captain was personally appointed by General Lu. I also saw him going to the general's residence in person."
"From the captain to the captain, how many enemies must be killed by the soldiers on the battlefield to earn so much merit! Who would believe that there are no tricks?"
"You said it too. Those were ordinary soldiers. Would an ordinary soldier dare to impeach the current dynasty's Marquis Zhun Wu? That was a powerful man at the Tianxiang level! An ordinary soldier dared to kill the captain and replace him on the first day he entered the barracks.
Really? It’s not just a day or two since the filthy Samanas have been wreaking havoc in Yancheng, so we have to rely on this little Marquis Fang Yun to deal with them!"
…
In the military camp in Yancheng, there was a lot of discussion about everything.
Fang Yun ignored all of this. The only thing he cared about was General Lu Kuang. The back of the Tianxie Sect, the power of the ten dragons at the peak of the spirit level, and the identity of the general, all these made Fang Yun's attitude toward
Lu Kuang is particularly considerate.
"Lü Kuang, who has been hiding in the Zhou army for many years, is a very powerful character. Now, he should have known that I discovered the entanglement between the Pingding Hou Mansion and the Tianxie Sect. The Lu Li of the Great Zhou Dynasty colluded with foreign forces,
That is a capital crime! The Tianxie Sect has been planning it for so long, and now that I have appeared, I must want to get rid of it quickly. I have to be careful!"
While Fang Yun was practicing in the school grounds, he paid attention to Lu Kuang's movements. However, more than ten days had passed, and Lu Kuang seemed to have forgotten everything. He was still staying in the general's residence as usual, without leaving the house.
The deputy made it clear that he did not want to argue with Fang Yun. Fang Yun thought for a moment and immediately understood Lu Kuang's mentality: "The general has a high position of power, second only to the princes. Tianxie Sect has been operating for many years, but the secret chess at the level of general,
It's probably not much, and we can't afford to lose anything. It's not that Lu Kuang doesn't want to take action, but his current status as a general has actually become a constraint for him. He has so many worries that he can't take action."
Thinking of this, Fang Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Lu Kuang did not move his troops here, but the dirty monks were there. However, one night, after snatching away the bodies of the monk disciples, there was no more noise.
The eight God-Breaking Crossbows have unparalleled intimidating power. Even the most powerful masters dare not say that they can come back safe and sound after entering the South Campus.
On the seventeenth day after Fang Yun received the captain's ribbon, a white-robed guard found Fang Yun:
"Lord Captain, the Marquis has invited you."
Fang Yun's heart moved, knowing that Marquis Feng Ning was finally going to confess to him.
It was still the study room. After Hong Xiu brought two cups of fragrant tea, she left. During the time when Feng Ninghou was visiting guests, even she could not stay in the study room.
"Sit down," Feng Ninghou pointed to the opposite side and said with a smile.
Fang Yun sat down as he was told, took a sip of hot tea, and slowly waited for Feng Ninghou to speak. He was not in a hurry.
Marquis Feng Ning sat down opposite Fang Yun, sipped the fragrant tea, and said nonchalantly: "Lin Xuan, you were the one who killed me."
Fang Yun's heart skipped a beat, he looked into Marquis Feng Ning's eyes, hesitated slightly, and said the truth:
"The Marquis is wise, and it was indeed me who killed him."
"It's a pity, Lin Xuan is a talent. He just went with the wrong person."
Marquis Feng Ning said with regret.
Fang Yun was stunned and couldn't figure out what Feng Ninghou meant.
"Haha," Feng Ninghou smiled: "If you die, you will die. Let's not talk about it. Fang Yun, Li Ji really did not misjudge you. In two months' time, Ping Dinghou's power in Yancheng has basically been reduced.
I was ruined by you. It will never be anything like that again."
"Now that the Marquis has made it clear, please forgive Fang Yun for being presumptuous. There is one thing I don't understand. I only killed Ye Wang and Lin Xuan, but General Lu Kuang is still there. How can he be considered destroyed by me?
Moreover, with the strength of the Marquis, if you really want to fight against Lu Kuang, it is just a matter of raising your hands." Fang Yun asked.
Marquis Feng Ning shook his head:
"Don't underestimate Ye Wang and Lin Xuan. These two people are equivalent to Lu Kuang's claws and teeth. Without his claws and teeth, Lu Kuang is still Lu Kuang, but there is no threat. In addition, if you want to kill
Ye Wang and Lin Xuan, I can do it with just one sentence. Similarly, if Lu Kuang wants to kill you, it will be easy. However, anyone can take action, but only the two of us cannot take action."
"Lü Kuang didn't dare to kill me because he was afraid of being in your hands. And if you didn't kill Lu Kuang, you were afraid of leaving an excuse for Ping Dinghou, who was behind Lu Kuang."
Fang Yundao said that he did not show much respect for Ping Dinghou.
"Haha, you are right. Lu Kuang now knows that I am the one supporting you behind the scenes. He felt something was wrong and immediately couldn't get out. If he did this, I really couldn't do anything to him. However, Ye
Once Wang and Lin Xuan die, he won't be able to stir up any trouble and is no longer a problem. This is why I called you here! Li Ji did not recommend the wrong person."
Marquis Ning Feng smiled.
"Since he already knows, will there be any problems with Marquis Pingding?"
Fang Yundao.
Marquis Feng Ning waved his hand: "Guesses are always guesses, and they can never be taken seriously!"
Fang Yun nodded, this is just like Lu Kuang knowing that Lin Xuan killed himself, but he was unable to deal with him.
"Haha, you two brothers are more like your mother than your father. Sifang Hou Fang Yin, when I met him sixteen years ago, he was upright and upright, but not as frivolous as you."
Ning Fenghou said.
Fang Yun's eyes were slightly startled: "Sixteen years ago?"
Marquis Feng Ning smiled and said: "Yes, sixteen years ago, when I was traveling around the world, I was in high spirits. I met your father in Jingzhou, and on a whim, I became an aide under him. Your father was not until I was granted the title of Marquis
Only then did I realize that I was his staff member."
Fang Yun's eyes widened and he blurted out: "Are you that Mr. Li Da?!"
In his previous life, Fang Yun also learned from his eldest brother's mouth that when his father was young, he and a counselor named Mr. Li Da discussed together and formulated a strategy for the wilderness, which has been used to this day.
My father was able to suppress the Southern Barbarians for so long, and personal force was certainly important. Mr. Li Da also contributed a lot.
But later, Mr. Li Da suddenly disappeared from the army. At first, my father looked for him for several years.
"Haha," Ning Fenghou laughed: "Only your father and I, and a few other people know about this matter. The last time we went to the capital to depose your father and promote him to the nobility, Pingdinghou wanted me to co-sign.
.But you don’t know that your father and I have been friends for a long time. How could I sign my name on such a thing!"
Fang Yun felt a sense of kindness and emotion in his heart. Speaking of it, Marquis Ning Feng was a legendary figure.
"Things have changed. Sixteen years ago, I worked as your father's staff. Now, it's your turn to be my disciple."
Marquis Ning Feng couldn't help but smile knowingly when he thought of something interesting.
Sixteen years ago, I changed my name to Mr. Li Da and worked as an aide to Sifang Hou. Now Sifang Hou’s son is in the army to deal with the threat of Ping Ding Hou for me. The uncertainty of life’s fate is all due to this!
"Father, to this day, I still remember the kindness of the Marquis."
After recounting the old story, Fang Yun immediately felt that he had become much closer to the Marquis.
"The kindness is too serious. In fact, I am still grateful to your father. If I hadn't been working as his staff, I might not have met my wife..."
As Marquis Ning Feng spoke, he suddenly stopped talking, with a sad look in his eyes.
Fang Yun's heart moved, and he immediately remembered that Ning Fenghou's wife had passed away. It was also at that time that Ning Fenghou took the initiative to transfer to Yancheng, and was suppressed in this border area ever since, never to have another relationship.
"This Marquis Ning Feng is also a man of great temperament..."
Fang Yun was silent. He couldn't speak about this kind of thing.
"Among the princes and nobles in the capital, the one I admire the most is your father. Among the princes and nobles of the Great Zhou Dynasty, only your father married your mother. The others had three wives and four concubines.
Wives and concubines in droves!”
Marquis Ning Feng didn't talk about Fang Yin's martial arts, but he only said that Marquis Sifang's single-mindedness made him admire him very much.
"Master Hou also neglected himself." Fang Yun added.
"You kid..." Marquis Ning Feng laughed and shook his head: "Let's not talk about this anymore. I have called you here this time to tell you that I have wiped the six God-breaking crossbows for you.
Good ass. The other thing is that friendship is friendship, and military affairs cannot be neglected. Since you have become a captain, you must shoulder the responsibilities of a captain."
"Nancheng District has always been the place where Salmons massacred soldiers the most. Now that I have taken office, I have to get this thing done. If I can solve this problem, I can come forward and officially appoint you as the captain. This will be helpful for your future deployment.
Joining the regular army also has great benefits."
"Fang Yun understands. Thank you, Lord Marquis, for your help. By the way, Lord Marquis, I hope to get a piece of your handwriting on dealing with the evil monks. If necessary, I will mobilize the soldiers in the city to assist." Fang Yun said.
"I can agree to this matter for you. However, the scope of the troops and the scope of assistance are limited to Yan City."
"This is natural."
Fang Yun stayed in the study for a while, talked with Marquis Ning Feng about calligraphy and painting, and then left.
As soon as Fang Yun left, Ning Fenghou's expression dimmed.
"Master Hou, I miss my wife again..."
Hongxiu turned out from behind the bookcase, looked at Feng Ninghou faintly, and said with a hint of resentment.
"Hongxiu, our affairs are not..."
Before Feng Ninghou could finish his exit, he was stopped by a Dankou jade finger.
"Sir, have you forgotten our agreement?" Hong Xiu blocked Feng Ninghou's lips and said.
