The middle-aged man whispered: "This is not my home. It's not a good idea to enter other people's homes casually, isn't it?"
Tang Yin raised his eyebrows, this is not where Yuan Fang and Zhang Ju live? Then why are they here?
Zhang Ju explained: "The two of us saw the king running this way and saw that there seemed to be no one in the house, so we jumped closer in advance. Brother Yuan and I are not from Hedong, how could we be in Qingyuan?"
Do you have a house?!"
Tang Yin also laughed when he heard this and nodded secretly. These two people were quite smart and used other people's houses to help themselves avoid being hunted. He asked: "Did you two bring the Spirit Gathering Pill? Both of my brothers were *
I took the Sanling Pill."
Shangguan Yuanwu and Shangguan Yuanbiao both blushed. They were originally the king's guardians, but they ended up having to be protected by the king. They were really embarrassed. They were controlled by the woman in white, not both sides.
The difference in strength was huge, but the weapon used by the woman in white was too weird, and the Shangguan brothers suffered a big loss without any defense.
After hearing what Tang Yin said, Zhang Ju said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes!" As he spoke, he reached into his arms, took out a small medicine bottle, poured out two pills, and handed them to Tang Yin.
Pills and other elixirs are commonly used items that are necessary for rangers.
Tang Yin took it and at the same time scattered the spiritual armor on his body. He took it under his nose and sniffed it to confirm that it was correct. Then he handed it to the Shangguan brothers and asked them to take it. While waiting for the two brothers to recover their spiritual energy, Tang Yin said to Yuan
Fang and Zhang Ju laughed and said, "You two not only saved me, but also my two brothers. If you want any reward, just ask."
Zhang Ju was straightforward. As soon as Tang Yin finished speaking, he held up his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I just did what I thought I should do, and there is no need for reward. Moreover, when I rescued Your Majesty this time, I didn't do it out of my heart. I just felt that Your Majesty
Once you are assassinated in Hedong, Huiyang and the people in Hedong will have to do this, so your Majesty does not need to thank me."
Zhang Ju is a very straightforward person! Tang Yin was silent for a moment, laughed, nodded, and said: "No matter what your intention is, if you help me, I will definitely repay you." After that,
He looked at Yuan Fang again and asked: "Mr. Yuan doesn't want a reward either?"
Yuan Fang smiled and said: "Brother Zhang and I are different. It's just that I don't know if the reward I want can be satisfied by your Majesty."
Tang Yin asked curiously: "What do you want?"
Yuan Fang hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "I want to find an official position under the king."
After hearing this, not only Tang Yin was stunned, but even his companion Zhang Ju gave him a strange look.
Tang Yin looked squarely at Yuan Fang and said, "Mr. Yuan is from Ning. Since he is determined to gain fame, why don't he go to your King Ning instead of coming to our Feng Kingdom?"
"For the future." Yuan Fang lowered his eyes and said.
"What's the meaning?"
"His Royal Highness Prince Ning is a sage king who is rare to see in the Ning Kingdom for a hundred years..."
Tang Yin didn't want to hear Yuan Fang singing praises to Yan Chu in front of him, so he waved his hand and interrupted: "In this case, shouldn't Mr. Yuan help Yan Chu?"
Yuan Fang shook his head and said: "You can't do this. The biggest difference between King Ning and your Majesty is that King Ning is the king who protects the country, while your Majesty is the king who founded the country. Now, the court of Ning Kingdom is composed of hereditary dignitaries, and the government is dominated by those traditional great officials.
The nobles are firmly in control, and it is difficult for me to gain a foothold. However, the king is the founder of the country, and he has a good understanding of people. There are no powerful people in the court, only talents. Therefore, I can only have a chance to show my ambitions by joining the king.
."
These words surprised Tang Yin, and they exactly hit the key to the difference between Feng and Ning. As Yuan Fang said, Yan Chu was a rare and good monarch, but the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were all traditional dignitaries.
Even as the king of a country, Yan Chu was limited in everything and could not use his fists and kicks. On the other hand, in the Feng Kingdom, there was no concept of traditional powerful people in Tang Yin. The ministers in the court were all his trusted confidants, and they were naturally loyal to him.
Geng Geng followed his lead. If Tang Yin wanted to promulgate a decree or decide on a national policy, there would be no resistance, no interference or restrictions, and he could do it freely.
It seems that this Yuan Fang is still very knowledgeable. Tang Yin said with a smile: "I recognize talents rather than people. I don't care about your background. As long as you are talented and loyal to me, I will definitely use you."
.You can tell me, what talents do you have?"
Yuan Fang was not polite at all and said seriously: "I am able to rule the country and bring peace to the country through military force. I am a man of both civil and military talents!"
Others would have scoffed and dismissed such self-evaluation, but Tang Yin burst out laughing. He didn't know whether Yuan Fang's praise of him was true or false, but when he saw Yuan Fang, Tang Yin suddenly remembered
He married another person, Qiu Zhen. When Qiu Zhen first followed him, his evaluation of himself was that he knew astronomy at the top and geography at the bottom, and was extremely talented and knowledgeable. In fact, Qiu Zhen was really talented, which is rare.
Talented man, now Yuan Fang's self-assessment is similar to Qiu Zhen's, but Tang Yin became interested and wanted to see if this person could, as he said, be able to stabilize the country.
Just as Tang Yin was about to speak, there was a big commotion outside. He heard people shouting and neighing, and footsteps kept coming. Yuan Fang and Zhang Ju's expressions changed at the same time. They waved their hands to Tang Yin and said, "Your Majesty, you can stay here with peace of mind. I will
The two of you go out and take a look."
"No need." Tang Yin smiled and said: "The people coming outside are our soldiers of the Feng Army." As he spoke, he turned to Shangguan Yuanwu and Shangguan Yuanbiao and said, "You two go out and tell the soldiers who are coming.
I'm here." Tang Yinliu knew people well and had sharp ears, so he could clearly hear the shouts outside.
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Shangguan Yuanwu did not dare to leave Tang Yin here alone. He asked his brother Yuan Biao to go out and inform the soldiers who came after hearing the news that the king was safe and sound.
Not long after Shangguan Yuanbiao left, the sound of horse hooves could be heard outside. Immediately afterwards, Zhan Hu took the lead and rushed in. Behind him were Jiang Fan, Cheng Jin and the densely packed Fengjun bodyguards.
"Your Majesty!" Seeing Tang Yin standing well in the courtyard, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They stepped forward one after another, knelt down on one knee and said, "I am late to save you, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
The soft smile on Tang Yin's face disappeared, replaced by a cold evil smile, and he said: "Jiang Fan!"
"The end is here!"
"You quickly send people to notify the defenders of the four cities to seal the city gates and no one is allowed to enter or exit."
"Yes!" Jiang Fan agreed and turned around.
Tang Yin said again: "Cheng Jin!"
"The end is here!"
"Assemble all the secret assassins to strictly investigate the rangers who have sneaked into the city. If you find any, you will arrest them if you can. If they are difficult to capture, you will kill them without mercy!" Tang Yin said in a cold tone.
"General, I understand." Cheng Jin cupped his hands and stood up to walk out. At this time, Yuan Fang suddenly said: "General Cheng, wait a moment!"
If he hadn't spoken, Cheng Jin wouldn't have noticed him. When he heard him calling him to stop, Cheng Jin frowned and looked at Yuan Fang, tensed up and asked Tang Yin, "Your Majesty, this is..."
Tang Yin said with a smile: "This is Mr. Yuan Fang." Then he pointed to Zhang Ju and said: "This is Mr. Zhang Ju. Just now, I was chased by assassins. Thanks to the help of the two of them, I was able to avoid the assassins.
."
"Oh! So that's it." After hearing this, Cheng Jin lowered his guard, bowed his hands to Yuan Fang and Zhang Ju, and then asked, "Is there anything wrong with Mr. Yuan Fang's request to stay here?"
Tang Yin also wanted to know what Yuan Fang was going to do and looked at him with a smile.
Yuan Fang said: "It is unwise for your Majesty to surround the city with great fanfare and suppress the rangers!"
Tang Yin was stunned for a moment, raised his head and said: "Mr. Yuan Fang means..."
Yuan Fang said: "Not all the rangers who came to Qingyuan wanted to harm the king. For example, didn't I and my brother Zhang Ju save the king? Among the rangers in Qingyuan, there were only a few who wanted to harm the king. Most of them wanted to harm the king.
People just wait and see or watch the excitement. If the king kills them all regardless of the reason, wouldn't it be killing innocent people indiscriminately and giving him the reputation of a tyrant? In addition, if the king does this, it will be tantamount to offending the entire Ningguo rangers.
The Ningguo rangers will hate the king so much that even if they can't hurt the king, they will cause headaches to the king if they secretly cause destruction. Also, as soon as the king occupied Qingyuan, he hunted and killed the rangers throughout the city, which could easily cause panic among the people.
, which is not conducive to the stability of the youth movement."
Oh! After what Yuan Fang said, Tang Yin slowly calmed down. Thinking about it carefully, Yuan Fang's words were very reasonable. I am afraid that the rangers who assassinated him had long ago escaped or hid. Most of the rangers who could be found
He is also an innocent person. Killing indiscriminately will indeed damage his reputation and easily leave hidden dangers.
He nodded and said, "What Mr. Yuan Fang said makes sense. Cheng Jin, investigate this matter secretly. Once you find any clues, report them to me as soon as possible. By the way, you can go and tell Jiang Fan that there is no need to seal the four doors anymore."
"
"Got it." Cheng Jin responded, took another deep look at Yuan Fang, turned around and left with doubts in his mind. He couldn't understand why such a person suddenly appeared and saved the king. It was a coincidence.
?Perhaps because he has done too many shady things, Cheng Jin's intuition has become very keen. He vaguely feels that Yuan Fang is not simple, but he really can't explain what is wrong.
Tang Yin had a good impression of Yuan Fang, especially what he said just now, which proved that he was thoughtful and far-sighted. He said to Yuan Fang and Zhang Ju: "You two should follow me back to the county capital!"
