"Okay." After hearing Guo Jin's words, Feng Xing responded, but looking at the slowly approaching army in the distance, he seemed to swallow with some difficulty.
"General Jian Dao, regarding the investigation, the city lord wants to talk to the Lord in person." Guo Jin spoke.
Upon hearing this answer, Ma Xiaoxue frowned slightly, hesitated for a while, looked back at the Chinese army, which was not far away, and finally nodded.
Soon, the army led by Ye Fan arrived. The number of more than 10,000 people was not large, but it looked like a large area of darkness.
"God, the city lord said he wants to talk to you." Ma Xiaoxue came to Ye Fan's side.
"Talk to me?" After hearing this, Ye Fan raised his eyebrows, glanced at the tower, and nodded when he noticed Guo Jin's figure.
"OK."
After saying this, Ye Fan drove to the front of the team, "God is here. If the city lord has anything to discuss, please come quickly."
On the city tower, Feng Xing naturally saw the Tiangong wearing dragon-slaying armor. Perhaps it was an inherent impression. A trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Guo Jin who was standing aside.
"Guo Jin, come with me."
Hearing this, Guo Jin looked a little helpless, but he quickly nodded.
The city gate opened, and Feng Xing led Guo Jin to the opposite side of Ye Fan. He said in a polite tone, "Feng Xing, Lord of Bishan City, please see Minister Tiangong."
"Guo Jin, the commander of the Bishan City Guards, meets with God."
"You're welcome." Ye Fan responded with his hand raised, "The city lord said he has something to discuss with me. I wonder what it is?"
"Things..." Feng Xing was speechless, but Guo Jin on the side reacted quickly, "God, the governor decides on the investigation, and we fully support it. However, in the small Bishan City, if God brings such an army into the city, the people will inevitably panic.
.”
"We said we wanted to discuss it because we wanted God to consider whether we could bring fewer people into the city."
"Bring fewer people?" Hearing this, Ye Fan raised his eyebrows, "I also want to bring fewer people, but after all, it is an inventory of a city, and there is insufficient manpower. I'm afraid there will be no way to handle it completely."
"There are eight thousand city guards in Bishan City who can help God in his investigation." Guo Jin said.
"Eight thousand is not enough." Ye Fan shook his head and looked at Guo Jin, "And how can you guarantee that there are no remnants of the dynasty among your eight thousand city guards?"
"This." Hearing this, Guo Jin was a little speechless. At this time, Feng Xing on the side spoke up and said bravely: "Minister Tiangong, Guo Jin has always been strict in running the army. There shouldn't be anything in the city guard."
Rebellious."
"What you said is should, and what I want here is absolute." Ye Fan replied with a calm tone, glanced at Feng Xing, and slowly said, "City Lord Feng, you said that the city guards did not rebel, but if they did,
How can you shoulder this responsibility if you delay the inspection or even deceive it?"
This sentence immediately made Feng Xingyan, who had finally mustered up the courage, not blame him for being cowardly. After all, he was just a city lord in peaceful times. Feng Xing had never even been on the battlefield.
Talking is stressful.
Both of them were at a loss for words, but Guo Jin finally stood up. He looked at God with little fear in his eyes, "God, if I can guarantee that there is no rebellion among the city guards, can you guarantee that the army will not enter Bishan City?"
?”
Hearing this, Ye Fan smiled, "If you can guarantee it, of course I can too."
"After all, it's just for investigation."
"Then I can." Guo Jin seemed decisive.
"You can't just talk about it." Ye Fan replied. At this moment, his eyes narrowed, "If there is rebellion among the city guards, how will you bear the responsibility?"
"If the government is not effective, it will be left to God's disposal." Guo Jin handed over.
"Okay." After hearing this, Ye Fan agreed and just waved his hand, "I will not bring anyone with me, only a few generals."
"Senior Wu Jingtian, follow me into the city."
With that said, Ye Fan pulled the reins, and the Red Flame Gale Horse neighed, raised its head and walked towards the city. Guo Jin and Feng Xing hesitated, but in the end they did not stop them.
Wu Jingtian responded and walked out of the army, but Fatty Li beside him was a little confused, "Senior, what's going on? Did God go in alone like this? What should we do?"
"Wait." Wu Jingtian responded. At this moment, perhaps because he was used to Ye Fan's style, he also had a slightly meaningful smile on his face, "That Guo Jin has fallen into the trap of God, you just wait.
.”
"Trapped?" Fatty Li was confused, "Did God trick Guo Jin just now?"
"...You, are you filled with mush? How can you be stupider than a martial artist like me?"
Wu Jingtian was helpless, but he did not continue talking. Seeing that Ye Fan was about to enter the city, he quickly volleyed and rushed to Ye Fan's side in two or three steps.
"What kind of trick is this?" Confused by Wu Jingtian's words, Fatty Li scratched his head and looked at the military advisor not far away, "Military advisor, do you know?"
"Of course I know."
Suan Sansheng nodded, glanced at Fatty Li, and with a faint smile, shook his feather fan.
"Just wait and see. Go help General Zhang Da transport things."
"We have been marching for many days. We can take a rest today."
…
Bishan City is relatively prosperous in the city. There are not many high-rise buildings, but there are many vendors on the roads. The roads look clean and there are many green plants. It seems to be a pretty good city.
"God, I don't know where you want to start investigating." In the city, Guo Jin stood next to Ye Fan and asked.
"Let's start with the city guard." Ye Fan was casual, just waved his hand and looked at Wu Jingtian aside, "Senior Jingtian, today, please accompany Guo to go in and investigate."
"Me?" Wu Jingtian was stunned when he heard this, but quickly nodded.
"Remember, deal with it impartially." Ye Fan replied, speaking emphatically, "When working for the governor, don't be selfish, don't wrongly accuse good people, and don't let bad people go."
"I understand." Hearing these familiar words, Wu Jingtian nodded repeatedly.
"I should be able to check it today." Ye Fan turned to Guo Jin.
"You can check it now." Guo Jin replied.
"Then senior Jingtian will follow Commander Guo to investigate." Ye Fan said, "Master Feng Xing, if you are free today, will you take me around the city?"
After saying this, Ye Fan raised his head and walked forward.
He didn't wait for Feng Xing's answer at all, and perhaps didn't ask any questions at all.
This made Feng Xing slightly embarrassed. He glanced at Wu Jingtian and said, "God...he is so high-spirited."
"After all, I am the Minister of Armed Forces at the age of sixteen." Wu Jingtian replied, but curled his lips, "If I were like God and sat in this position at the age of sixteen, I would be crazier than him."
"That's true." Feng Xing responded, nodded, and said to Guo Jin: "Commander Guo, please take Tiangong's subordinates to check. I will accompany Tiangong."
"Okay." Guo Jin nodded and watched Feng Xing hurriedly run towards Mark. There was a rare helplessness in his eyes.
It has to be said that Feng Xing doesn't have much opinion, nor much courage. For such a person to be a city lord, there is nothing wrong with him in peacetime, but when he encounters some trouble, he seems too mediocre.
At the city gate, if he hadn't used his reputation as a minister to negotiate, the city lord would have been overwhelmed by God's momentum.
The city lord bowed his head before God, and he seemed to have bowed his head as well.
"Commander Guo, Tiangong is a very human being, and naturally he has courage that is rare for ordinary people." On the side, Wu Jingtian seemed to see Guo Jin's helplessness, and said with a hint of meaning, "In troubled times, talents like Tiangong must be more suitable for ruling the world.
.”
"The human race has not collapsed, so how can we talk about troubled times?" Guo Jin replied, cupping his hands, not communicating too much, and leading the way.
Wu Jingtian was not annoyed at all, he just looked at Guo Jin's back with a smile on his lips.
This Guo Jin is a good person, he seems to be very upright, and maybe the city guards are really well managed, but his self-confidence makes him fall into Ye Fan's trap.
As long as the investigation is done, there is no need to blame anyone.
It is too easy for people who are not bound by the rules to attack those who are bound by the rules.
