I have been on a business trip in the whole field, and the great business of grabbing buildings has finally grown from a thriving to the current galloping horses. Liewen 『Net Ww』W. Lie Wen. CC

...

In Jianping Mansion, Xia Changan, the magistrate, has been waiting at the gate of the city, with only two or three kittens behind him.

The area and population of Jiaozhi Prefecture can only be regarded as a county at most in Ming Dynasty, and most of the prefects here are criminal officials who have been demoted, or local officials in Yunnan and Guangxi.

As soon as these officials arrived in Jiaozhi, they immediately "smoothed into the sky", the magistrate of the prefect, the magistrate of the county.

But these officials would rather go back to Daming to be a commoner than come here to be an official.

Not long after, an official behind Xia Changan suddenly turned his face to listen, and then said: "My lord, it seems that a large group of people is coming."

Xia Changan hurriedly straightened his clothes, and then muttered to himself: "I hope that this time we can get rid of that Shuai Ruan, otherwise I want to hang up my seal and leave..."

Soon, there was a dense sound of horseshoes, and then a large group of cavalry appeared in the distance.

More than a dozen scouts rushed over, stopped their horses in front of Xia Changan and asked, "But Xia Zhifu?"

Xia Chang'an looked at the cavalry who spread out from the two wings, and was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly said: "This is the officer, may I ask which adult is leading the army?"

The scout controlled the restless horse, raised his eyebrows and said: "This time Xing Hebo is leading the army, and he will arrive soon."

Xing Hebo?

Xia Chang'an knew about Fang Xing and King Han coming to have sex, he was secretly glad that it wasn't Zhu Gaoxu who came in person, and then he turned around to say hello, and everyone hurried forward a few steps.

When the dust stirred up by the cavalry began to dissipate, the ground shook.

"This is……"

The closer the voice was, the more orderly the rhythm would be. Xia Changan woke up from his sluggishness when he saw the rows of arrays, and bowed quickly.

Fang Xing stepped forward on his horse, looked at the dilapidated city wall, and said after dismounting: "It's not easy for Xia Zhifu, it's hard work."

Xia Changan looked up at Fang Xing, surprised at his youth and gentleness, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I don't dare to speak bitterly, Xing and Bo came all the way.

Please also go to the city to rest. "

In the so-called Fucheng, the best building is Xia Changan's magistrate's yamen, but it looks similar to the courtyard of a small landlord in the countryside.

Fang Xing didn't care about taking a rest, so he immediately called Zhang Chong.

"You go to Ruan Shuai, just say I'm here, let him come!"

Zhang Chong hesitated for a moment: "Second Young Master, according to Ruan Shuai's suspicious nature, he might not dare to come!"

"I just want to make him dare not come!"

Fang Xing sat on the chair and said calmly, "The distance is not very far, you go first."

After Zhang Chong left, Fang Xing stretched his body, causing Xia Changan, who was by the side, to click his tongue.

It is said that Xing Hebo is both civil and military, and he is also a teacher of the grandson, but he is stretching in front of outsiders.

Is this still an image?

What scholar-bureaucrats pay attention to outside is just an image, and some of them have to hold their own airs at home. If they go on like this all year round, they will eventually become like a puppet.

Fang Xing sat back comfortably and asked, "Prefect Xia, did Shuai Ruan come to harass you?"

"came."

Xia Changan said with a bitter face: "Uncle Xing, Shuai Ruan even asked people to borrow food a few days ago."

"Borrowing food?" Fang Xing said disdainfully: "He has killed a lot of wealthy families in the south, and is there still food shortage? Benbo still wants to ask him to borrow some food to pay wages!"

Xia Changan said with a wry smile: "Uncle Xinghe, but Shuai Ruan is not sure where to go, fortunately he has only been tossing around in the south for the past few years, otherwise Xiaguan's place may have been breached long ago."

"Benbo asks him to borrow food, does he dare to refuse?"

Fang Xing's tone was indifferent, but Xia Changan couldn't help shivering with a chill.

At this time, the logistics equipment also entered the city, and Xin Laoqi came to return.

"Sir, is the trebuchet starting to be built?"

Although the trebuchet can be carried, Fang Xing dislikes that it will slow down the marching speed, so he plans to build it locally.

"Build it right away, I want to see how ambitious Ruan Shuai is!"

...

When Zhang Chong saw Ruan Shuai, he unexpectedly found that his attitude had turned tough.

"Xing and Bo? I remember, the one with the Englishman a few years ago, isn't it?"

Ruan Shuai called himself me, which made the confidants beside him secretly unconvinced.

"Yes, Xing Hebo is young and promising, both civil and military, and he is the teacher of my grandson of Ming Dynasty!"

Zhang Chong introduced proudly.

"Teacher of the grandson?"

That must be a literati.

Ruan Shuai once studied with a Cochin Confucian scholar for several years. He heard that Confucian scholar said enviously that there were so many great Confucian scholars in Ming Dynasty.

Literati leader?

As for Ruan Shuaiquan, who is both civil and military, it is Zhang Chong's bragging.

How can there be both civil and military skills these days!

What's more, if you can't make it, you can't do it!

Zhang Chong said: "Xing and Uncle have said, please Master Ruan go to Jianping Mansion."

Didn't you say you want to meet?

then go for it!

Ruan Shuai pondered for a while, then suddenly smiled and said: "Da Ming's grandson's teacher, I dare not go, I am afraid of making a fool of myself on the spot, so please go back and tell me, or... let's choose a place with few people!"

Zhang Chong's expression changed immediately, and he said angrily, "Master Ruan, are you looking down on my uncle Xinghe of Daming?"

"Don't dare."

Ruan Shuai narrowed his eyes and yawned, and then said: "Please tell Uncle Xinghe that Ruan is cowardly and has killed many wealthy families this year. He is worried that he will be assassinated by the remnants of those wealthy families in Jianping Mansion. Please forgive me. One or two, Ruan is very grateful."

...

As soon as Zhang Chong left, Ruan Shuai drove everyone away and closed the door.

"Go to Xing Hebo of Nima! Go to Daming of Nima!"

"Boom!"

Everything in the room was damaged, and after Ruan Shuai stopped panting, there was almost no foothold underground.

"Come on!"

The two of them opened the door and came in. They were not surprised to see the debris all over the floor, and quickly cleaned it up.

After cleaning up, Ruan Shuai summoned his confidants, discussed for a long time, and then went to the inner room satisfied.

Soon, a strange smell came from inside...

And Fang Xing was also meeting someone at this moment, and it was Ruan Shuai's opponent.

Chen Jian'an glanced at Fang Xing nervously, then knelt down and said, "Chen Jian'an, a righteous citizen, has met Uncle."

Righteous people?

Fang Xing almost couldn't help laughing, he suppressed his smile and nodded: "Please get up."

After Chen Jian'an got up, he immediately laughed and said, "Uncle, I came here this time because I want to return to Da Ming's rule."

Fang Xing and Xia Changan looked at each other, and then said indifferently: "Aren't you a citizen of my Daming before?"

"Yes Yes Yes……"

Chen Jian'an responded repeatedly: "The little one used to live and work in peace and contentment, but who would have thought that Ruan Shuai was provoking innocently, and the little one had no choice but to raise troops in order to protect those innocent people. Uncle, the little one is loyal to Daming!"

Fang Xing nodded slightly and said, "Then why did you come this time?"

"The younger one is currently at a stalemate with Shuai Ruan. My uncle only needs to enter a few dozen miles, and the younger one can guarantee that Shuai Ruan will panic. When the time comes, the two sides will attack, then..."

Chen Jian'an carefully looked at Fang Xing's face, and then continued: "Then Ruan Shuai will definitely suffer a crushing defeat. By then, the overall situation of Cochin will be stable."

Fang Xing nodded after listening, and boasted: "Well, you have a good idea, and I will give you an answer after discussing with the people below."

When Chen Jian'an was overjoyed to be led out, Xia Chang'an said worriedly: "Uncle Xinghe, is this person reliable?"

Fang Xing said coldly: "How could Fang believe these Jiaozhi people, but this person can use one or two..."
