Still ten miles away from the city, Fan Ming saw Wei Jun coming to greet him.
He had been worried, fearing that Miss Xu San was a dominatrix and would kill her first before meeting her. Now that he saw Wei Jun smiling and taking the initiative to talk to her, he felt a little relieved.
"Is this General Fan ahead?" Wei Jun smiled and cupped his fists at him.
Fan Ming threw the reins to the soldiers, and all of them stepped forward boldly to salute: "Exactly, you are General Wei, right? A true hero comes from a young man!"
"Don't dare." Wei Jun said modestly, "I just obey orders, the third lady is the real hero."
The two exchanged a few words and got down to business.
"I was ordered by the governor of Qi to quell the rebellion. Unexpectedly, halfway through the journey, I heard that the city had been captured by the rebels. Thinking of the fellow villagers who suffered in the city, I was filled with grief, but it was too late to turn back. With this little thing in my hand
The soldiers and horses were not sure of recapturing Xingtong, so they had to find a place to adjust first. When I learned that the third lady was here, I planned to surrender, but the news arrived late, so the war ended just after we set off."
After hearing his hypocritical excuse, Wei Jun saw through it and said consolingly: "General Fan's family is also in the city, right? I hope he can express his condolences."
Speaking of this, Fan Ming was really a little sad. His family's fortune was all in Xingtong, and there were dozens of people at home. When the city was breached, some guards escaped with great difficulty and told him that his family had suffered.
However, why should a real man worry about not having a wife? As long as he can make a comeback, he will have a wife and children in the future.
Fan Ming thought so in his heart and made a sad look on his face: "I would also like to thank Third Miss for avenging me!"
Wei Jun waved his hands, filled with righteous indignation: "These rebels are doing all kinds of evil, and it is natural for us to do this." After saying that, he softened his expression and said with a smile, "Since General Fan is back, let's talk about it first in the city!"
This was exactly what he wanted. Fan Ming pushed the situation and said: "Thank you, General Wei. We have been sleeping outdoors and haven't had a good night's sleep in many days. We need to go back and rest."
Wei Jun glanced over and said with a smile: "General Fan came back at the right time. The city has just been reorganized. You can rest peacefully."
Fan Ming always felt that there was something in his words, but when he took a peek, Wei Jun showed no signs of surprise and got on his horse. He turned around and asked him innocently, "Isn't General Fan leaving?"
You must be overthinking it, right? Fan Ming smiled back, mounted his horse and ordered his subordinates: "Go back to the city!"
So the Xingtong garrison and the Nanyuan army who came to greet them met together and embarked on their return journey together.
Fan Ming and Wei Jun walked side by side and spoke with ulterior motives: "The third lady is really wise and powerful! Liu Pei is a veteran. If he hadn't met the Second Young Master Yan this time, he wouldn't have ended up like this.
.”
Wei Jun laughed and said with a proud look on his face: "This is natural, the third lady is not an ordinary person."
Fan Ming did not give up and continued to ask: "But I don't know what method the third lady used? How come the city was destroyed in three days? It is really shocking."
Wei Jun's eyes were flying and he said vaguely: "Actually, it doesn't matter. They can attack in the east and west, can't we? Build earth here to attack the city, dig tunnels at the city gate over there... Well, we used some tricks to open the door.
broken."
Nonsense, who doesn’t know how to dig tunnels? He just wants to know the method!
Fan Ming felt that there might be something fishy here, so he tried his best to find out: "The gate of Xingtong is very strong, are you digging in without any defense?"
Of course Wei Jun couldn't say it directly, so he changed the topic.
Fan Ming patiently circled around and finally heard something from Wei Jun's complaint for a long time.
"... Du Ming is also coming with me this time. Do you know his background, right? Wu Zijing's surrendered general is going to be difficult to deal with. General Fan needs to make preparations in advance."
Fan Ming was excited and pricked up his ears: "Is it him? This General Du is also famous far and wide!"
Wei Jun smiled but said: "Of course, to be valued by Wu Zijing is indeed somewhat capable. However, he has a shortcoming. He is very cold and arrogant, and does not like to talk to others. If he is rude, General Fan can Do not be angry."
Fan Ming heard something: "Of course not. It's normal for capable people to have weird tempers."
Wei Jun smiled and pointedly said: "Actually, we have surrounded Xingtong, and there is no support from the insurgents. It will be a matter of time before the city is broken. It doesn't make much difference whether it's a few days sooner or a few days later. Don't you think so, General Fan?"
Fan Ming understood. It seemed that Du Ming had captured Xingtong. He didn't tell him how to break the door, so Wei Jun only knew a little bit about it.
"Du Ming is a little unkind. General Fan has been delayed in coming these days. He has complained a lot and has said it several times in front of the third lady. But don't worry, General Fan, you are also excusable. I will discuss it carefully with the third lady." Said."
Fan Ming understood this and expressed gratitude: "Thank you, General Wei. Please take care of me in the future."
Then the two of them talked about some things in the city, and the exchanges were very harmonious.
During the conversation, Fan Ming's mind was completely settled.
He said that why Miss Xu San knew how to fight, it turned out to be Du Ming's work. He had heard about this person earlier, and it was said that Wu Zijing valued him very much. If he hadn't rebelled, Miss Xu San would not have been able to leave Yongcheng that day. .
This time Miss Xu San went out, relying entirely on Du Ming to lead the troops, so she obeyed his advice. Wei Jun was Miss Xu San's confidant. Seeing that he was left out, his sense of crisis increased. Hearing that Fan Ming was coming, he took a fancy to what he was holding. The soldiers and horses wanted to draw him together to fight against Du Ming, so they were so attentive and even welcomed Shili in person.
Fan Ming felt relieved after understanding the situation. Du Ming was good at fighting, but not good at being a human being. Now that the war is over, isn't it time for the rabbit to die and the dog to be cooked?
As he spoke, he saw black smoke rising into the sky in the direction of Xingtong.
As the city gate gets closer and closer, the unburnt Jingguan appears in front of us.
The layers of corpses were piled up like a mountain of human heads, and some of them had frightened expressions on them, which was horrifyingly spectacular.
Fan Ming was speechless for a moment, and his newly revived ambition was frightened back.
He has been in the army for many years and has fought in many battles. He has seen many dead people, but this is the first time he has seen them in Jingguan.
Thousands of heads! Even if you kill a good person and take credit, it will take a long time!
Can someone who dares to build a Jingguan really be capable of planning? Fan Ming couldn't help but stretched out his hand and touched his neck.
Wei Jun glanced at him and seemed to remind him kindly: "Don't get me wrong, General Fan. When Third Miss entered the city, most of the people were killed. Du Ming said that it was useless to leave the heads alone. It would be better to use them to build the capital. Let the people vent their anger. He has made great contributions to this battle, and the third lady agreed because she didn't want to refute him."
Therefore, the building of the Jingguan was not ordered by Miss Xu San. Also, she was a noble girl who dared to lead troops and was already very powerful. How could she expect to get this?
Wei Jun sighed and put on a sad face: "This Du Ming always refuses to listen to advice. He thinks that fighting is all about being fierce and ruthless, and he doesn't even think about what the third lady wants to do with this reputation? The second young master Yan is currently away at war. Does the third lady still want to compete with him for fame? If the second master Yan has a grudge in his heart, how can he win over his husband after getting married? "
Fan Ming couldn't help but nodded. This was very true. When he heard about this marriage, he thought, Yan Er has such a good appetite, no matter how beautiful Miss Xu San is, she would dare to marry a woman with such fierceness.
Of course, he still wanted to persuade him: "Second Young Master Yan won't do it. Didn't he already know that Third Young Lady killed Wu Zijing earlier..."
Speaking of this, Wei Jun looked around and saw that his subordinates were far enough away, so he lowered his voice and said: "You don't know, Wu Zijing was actually killed by the Second Young Master Yan, and later on the trip to Dongjiang, the Second Young Master Yan also went with him.
.”
Fan Ming couldn't help but open his mouth: "Huh?"
"Aren't we desperate at that time? It happened that the second young master Yan ran away from home and was picked up by the third lady... In order to repay his kindness, he proposed to kill Wu Zijing. The second young master Yan is really a good person, so the two young ladies will go
When we arrived in Dongjiang, he even came here specially to escort us."
Wei Jun sighed: "So, Young Master Yan didn't care before. He knew the inside story! But it will be hard to say in the future..."
Fan Ming's jaw almost dropped when he heard this secret. Although Wei Jun spoke vaguely, he could still tell that Young Master Yan was clearly dazzled by beauty and was willing to pave the way for her! According to this, Xu San
The series of achievements made by the young lady were all done by Mr. Yan.
Thinking about it this way, he felt that everything made sense. Yan Er's performance in the past six months was enough to be said to be a talent sent from heaven. It is not easy to produce such a person. How could there be three in succession?
Sure enough, she was pretty and took advantage of her. Miss Xu San did nothing, and her reputation fell from the sky. He suddenly wanted to be a woman too!
At this time, the city gate arrived.
A heroic-looking general was inspecting the directors, it was Du Ming.
