"So, our deep sea comrades will come here to fight with us soon again."
Xue San joked while adding carbon under the pot.
"Um."
Zheng Fan nodded, picked up the kettle next to him, and added a little more water to the white water pot.
This is a small charcoal stove hot pot, the soup base inside is very simple,
A little salt, two shallots, and three slices of ginger.
The side dish is simpler, just soft tofu, nothing else.
After the water boiled, Zheng Fan put a few pieces of tender tofu into the pot, and after cooking for a while, Zheng Fan, Blind Man and Xue San each took out a piece.
The sauce dish is even simpler, it is soy sauce.
The tender tofu is dipped in soy sauce, and it tastes smooth and tender, delicious and hot.
"Hoo"
All three of them were eating while exhaling.
Blind Bei took another sip of the rice wine from Yinlang County, with an expression of enjoyment.
"This way of eating, in winter, can be said to be quite comfortable." Xue San said with emotion.
The blind man Bei nodded, and added: "Before, it was still the way of the poor to eat, because tofu is cheap."
But at least the demon kings in Green Willow Castle have good eating and drinking conditions. Occasionally, some light and simple tastes are taken as a change of mood.
Immediately afterwards,
Blind Bei put a few more pieces of tofu in it and said to Zheng Fan:
"My lord, what does your lord plan to do about Zuo Jiqian?"
? Zuo Jiqian already asked for his door yesterday. Although Zheng Fan made a perfunctory pass and left angrily in the end, after Xu Wenzu took office, this matter will definitely be settled.
"Do nothing." Zheng Fan replied very sincerely.
The blind man Bei nodded in agreement, and said, "The Lord is wise."
"According to the date, Xu Wenzu should enter Yinlang County today. Let's go to the post station after eating. Let's greet him in advance."
"Of course, the Lord is considerate." Blind Bei agreed.
No matter what, Comrade Shenhai is here, and before he enters Nanwang City to take up his post, it is a matter of great benefit and no harm to meet in private in advance.
?Meeting old friends in a foreign land is a warming event in life, and Emei Peak and Shenhai cooperate again on another front, which is also a good story.
Zheng Fan couldn't empathize with Zuo Jiqian's nervousness and panic, but it was predictable that Zheng Fan's life would be more comfortable after the fat Xu Wenzu and Mr. Xu came here to be his immediate boss.
Zheng Fan took a sip of the wine and said, "Okay, then let's leave after eating."
In the small room, the three of them ate quite comfortably with the soft tofu hot pot. However, halfway through the meal, there was a knock on the door and the sound of grass outside:
"Master, Mr. Liang sent someone to ask, there are a lot of refugees gathered in Nanwang City, and asked if we want to accept Cui Liu Castle?"
"Refugees?" Zheng Fan put down his chopsticks and asked, "Anyone say where the refugees came from?"
"It's from the south."
"From the south?"
Cui Liubao is located at the northernmost line of Yan Kingdom, and those who come from the south are obviously from Qian Country.
Zheng Fan put down his chopsticks and said to the blind man:
"Come on, let's go and have a look, and then go to the station in advance to wait for Xu Wenzu."
¡¡¡¡
The refugee team is not very large, but it is definitely not small. There are refugees on both sides of the road. According to preliminary estimates, there are several thousand people.
Zheng Fan was sitting on horseback, beside him were Blind Bei and Xue San.
Perhaps it was because last time Zheng Fan had a good time and went to Gan Guolang, which made the demon kings under him terrified. Therefore, every time Zheng Fan went out after that, there would be at least two people by his side. If the magic pill on his body is included, it is a lineup of three demon king bodyguards.
Some of the cavalry of Yan State who don't know which fort they belong to are maintaining the order of the team, and at the same time leading the direction of the team.
These refugees are basically as small as a family unit or as large as a village as a unit. They move with their families. Because there are many old, weak, women and children, the proportion of young and old people is not very high.
Xue San deliberately rode over to inquire about the situation, and came back to report:
"My lord, they are indeed from the state of Qian. They originally went to Nanwang City, but they were re-led and assigned on the way. Those cavalry were from Ji Tuibao. It is said that they were ordered by Zuo Jiqian.Changed posts.
The person who can go out with Xu Wenzu to visit friends during the day and be responsible for safety must be one of the personal soldiers, and these two personal soldiers actually recognized Zheng Fan. Seeing that Zheng Fan appeared here, the two were first stunned, and then immediately showed their guard The color, even put his hand on the handle of the knife,
"Captain Zheng, is that you?"
asked a soldier.
"It's Mr. Zheng, please inform Ming Zhenggong that Mr. Zheng is visiting."
If it were someone else, who wanted to vote for the ranking, want to confuse the eye, and want to leave the relationship, the soldiers might think that Xu Wenzu was tired when he came back, so he stopped him, but seeing that it was Zheng Fan, this is his lord's angry enemy character. , They didn't dare to be negligent, and one of the soldiers immediately went in to report.
"Let him in, come on, let him in."
Xu Wenzu's voice came from inside, and he himself was also walking towards the door quickly.
The guards at the door stopped blocking him, Zheng Fan walked in, and saw a huge mountain of meat pressing towards him.
Xu Wenzu lost a lot of weight on the way back to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, but now it seems that he has completely recovered, and it is even better than before.
This is Yinlang County, not Beifeng County, and the surrounding area is guarded by his own trusted soldiers, so Xu Wenzu was very relaxed, and walked over with a smile to greet Zheng Fan.
Zheng Fan had no time to tell Xu Wenzu how happy he was to meet his comrades again,
Directly lowered the voice and said quickly:
"My lord, be careful. There are assassins who want to assassinate your lord in this inn. My humble job is to inform you as soon as you get the news."
"ah!"
"ah!"
at this time,
There were two screams from the outer wall of the courtyard, obviously Xu Wenzu's personal soldiers were shot dead.
What surprised Zheng Fan was that he originally thought that the assassin would infiltrate by poisoning or rely on door-to-door services to get close to Xu Wenzu.
But really did not expect,
The assassin came to kill him carelessly.
at the same time,
There was another angry shout from outside:
"Yangou Zheng Fan, blood debt is paid in blood, take your life!!!"
