Chapter 442

PS: today is the eighth anniversary of marriage. Hehe

Seeing that the old man came up in person, Chen Dingnan hurriedly stopped him: "why did you come up? Your grandson is unfilial. It surprised you. It's too dangerous here. You'd better go back first."

While persuading him, he followed behind him and said, "come on, help the old man down!"

The old man of the Chen family pushed Chen Dingnan away and glanced coldly: "all retreat. A disaster that could have been avoided must be brought over by himself, waste!"

Chen Dingnan's face changed, and a trace of disbelief flashed in his eyes. But the old man's expectation of Chen Jiawei was so high that he dared not disobey him at all. He knew that the old man was blaming himself for not handling the matter well, but he didn't think he was wrong. If they don't fight at the beginning, the reputation of the Chen family will fall to the lowest point. First they demoted the rebels, then the officers and soldiers. They were capricious and wavering. They could not tell how many people read jokes.

Even if he wants to surrender, his intention is to resist for a while and let the officers and soldiers outside the courtyard wall know that the Chen family is not easy to provoke. If they are forced to hurry, the losses of the officers and soldiers will not be small. Moreover, he was conceited and refused to surrender if he did not fight. In fact, Chen Dingnan has been keeping a sense of propriety. If he didn't keep the idea of retreat, he wouldn't just shoot the officer and general from the Yuliang road after stabbing him. With his martial arts, it's not difficult to kill Lu Fenghou.

"Not satisfied?"

The old man of the Chen family saw through Chen Dingnan's mind at a glance, but he was too lazy to say anything. He walked a few steps to the Yuliang Road, and then saluted Fang Xie, who had come up slowly: "old man Chen Fuxian has seen the general! The rebellious son was rude and stopped the general. Old man made amends for the rebellious son!"

Fang Xie stopped in front of Chen Fu and looked at the old man in front of him. From the old man's eyes, he could see that he was a man who had experienced great storms. Although he is old, the wisdom precipitated by the years in his eyes is still there, not dazzled.

"Now that you're down, you're not afraid that I'll kill you all in anger?"

Fang Xie asked.

Chen Fu hung his head leisurely and said, "I know that if I don't surrender again, the general's anger will be difficult to stop. Now it's a little late, but it can be remedied. It's all because I have ignored the family affairs for many years and left it to the rebellious son Dingnan. If I know that the heavenly army of the imperial court has arrived, I will open the door early to meet the general."

"You don't have to tell lies."

Fang Xie handed the Chaolu Dao to Chen Xiaoru who came up behind him, and glanced at the young man following Chen Fuxian. The man's face is as white as jade, his sword eyebrows and eyes are bright, but he is a sign of a young man. However, the hostility between the eyebrows seemed to be heavier, and there was hostility in the eyes.

"Why block my army?"

Fang Jie asked, looking directly at Chen Dingnan's eyes.

Chen Dingnan raised his head and said, "I don't know how the general will react if the general's family is trapped. In such troubled times, how can I tell whether it's an official or a thief? Chen just wants to protect the old and young of the family. I hope the general will forgive me where he offends."

Fang Xie nodded, and then suddenly hit Chen Dingnan on the nose. Surprised, Chen Dingnan subconsciously raised his arms and sealed them in front of his face. With a bang, Fang Xie's fist hit Chen Dingnan's arm. Chen Dingnan leaned back and fell directly from the wall. Rao is a man with good cultivation. He forcibly twisted his body in mid air and fell to the ground, but he still stumbled a few times and fell to the ground.

It was not easy for him to fall without breaking his bones on the two foot high courtyard wall.

"There is no need to be hypocritical and polite, and there is no need to say anything useless."

Fang Xie stood on the wall and looked at the boy struggling to get up: "I've seen too many arrogant people in the capital. I don't want you. If you want to live, you Chen family, old and young, should live. Now it's time for you Chen family to make their own bid."

Chen Fuxian's face changed. Unexpectedly, the young general was so direct. His life was full of ups and downs. He met many officials. It was the first time for him to meet such a young and arrogant person. He made a quick calculation in his mind, and then the other party said seriously, "I'm willing to give half of my family property..."

"I meant it."

Fang Xie looked at Chen Fu and said word by word, "but now it's not enough."

Chen Dingnan stood up under the courtyard wall, pointed to Fang Xie and said angrily, "what's this? Or you'll kill our Chen family up and down!"

"OK"

Fang Xie lightly replied a word, then turned and walked back: "I'll go down now and fight again. If you don't feel convinced, I'll give you this opportunity. If you can persist until dark, I'll lead the troops immediately. If you can't persist, the brain bags of hundreds of people in your Chen family will be hung on the wall of qiu'an county early tomorrow morning."

"General, stay!"

Chen Fu walked slowly and hesitated for a moment. Suddenly, he bent his knees and knelt down: "I blame old man for his arrogance. The general should not have the same experience with him. Old man guessed... The general led the army, or went to langrushan to meet the king of Xujun? I have a lot of roots with the king of Xujun. The princess... Is an old woman."

As soon as this remark came out, Fang Xie's steps were one meal.

"In that case, why did you kill the thief at the beginning?"

Fang Xie turned to look at Chen Fu and asked.

"I am responsible for the hundreds of lives of the Chen family and the Centennial foundation of the Chen family, general... There are many facts I can't help myself when I am here. I wrote a letter to send someone to langrushan to give it to the king of Xujun. The king knows that I have to do it. In the past two years, I have sent people to send money and food to the king many times, and asked the general to spare my family in the face of the king 。”

Fang Xie was silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "just... The merits and demerits of your Chen family will be decided by the imperial court in the future."

"Thank you, general!"

Chen Fuxian lowered his head, his eyes full of pain.

His eldest daughter married the king of Xujun as his wife, and his second daughter married peiguo, the governor of luojun. One fought against thieves in langrushan and the other followed Li Yuanshan. His situation is extremely hard.

……

……

"We're going to meet the king of Xujun, but there's not enough food and grass."

Sitting in the living room of the Chen family, Fang Xie took a sip of tea and said, "I don't know whether the Chen family can take out the grain and grass of 10000 people and horses for half a month."

Fang Xie didn't tell the truth, because his men and horses couldn't hide after the war. Over reporting and writing figures made the rebels dare not pursue easily.

"Take it out!"

Chen Fuxian hurriedly said, "this is what my Chen family should do to serve our country."

Fang Xie said, "if you don't stop me, I won't kill anyone. But I lost hundreds of people, and your Chen family's private soldiers lost more than half. The disasters that could have been avoided were provoked by some people who thought they were right."

"How do I know you can't kill?"

Chen Dingnan said, "before the Mongolians broke the city, they also announced that they would not kill, and the rebels and bandits also said they would not kill, but now there are fewer people dead in the three northwest roads?"

"Shut up"

Chen Fu scolded coldly.

Chen Dingnan's two arms were swollen. If Fang Xie hadn't collected his strength, one punch would break his two arms. He was quite conceited. No one in qiu'an county or even in Luo County can compare with him. He is young, has good martial arts, is familiar with the art of war and has a good reputation. But now the man in front of him seems almost the same age as himself. He has led an army to fight behind the enemy. It can be imagined that he has a certain weight in the imperial court and even in the eyes of his majesty.

So he was a little unconvinced.

"Don't kill the Chen family, not because you are willing to surrender, but because of the king of Xujun."

Fang Xie said calmly, "when I first entered Chang'an and studied in the martial arts academy, the Lord took good care of me. That is, before the Lord led the western expedition, he specially said goodbye to me. You are not dead yet. You should be glad of your origin."

Chen Dingnan said angrily, "you only have many soldiers!"

Fang Xie smiled and said, "I don't have time to talk to you about this. Do you think that if you say so, I will fight you fairly? People say you are weak and talented, but I can't think you are so naive. The knife in my hand is a murderer, and my army is here to counter the rebellion. What's the difference between this and a child's family?"

Chen Dingnan blushed and opened his mouth to say that he was a coward, but seeing the old man's cold face, he swallowed what he had said.

"I took the grain and grass from your Chen family. I will naturally mention it when I report my merit to the imperial court in the future. And it is a capital crime for you to block the imperial army."

Fang Xie looked at Chen Dingnan and said, "killing more than 100 of my men is a capital crime."

Chen Dingnan was surprised: "do you want to go back?"

Fang Xie stood up and hugged Chen Fu leisurely: "thank you for your food and grass, but things go one by one. If I want to take you away, I'll be a military slave first. Don't worry, I won't kill him in the face of the king of Xujun. But if he wants to survive, he has to rely on himself. Dozens of my men are folded in his hands. This is a debt of human life and has to be paid."

Fang Xie looked at Chen Dingnan and said, "from today on, you want to kill people to redeem your life, kill rebels and Mongolian Tartars. When you kill enough 200 people, I will exempt you from the status of military slave. You don't have to look at me with that look. If you have the ability to resist. But you don't, so now you can only listen and do it."

Chen Dingnan was very angry, but he was pulled by Chen Fuxian. The old man saluted Fang Xie deeply: "I thank the general for his great kindness. The Chen family will never forget it."

Fang Xie smiled, pointed to Chen Fuxian and said, "your grandfather is smarter than you. You... Are a little smart. In fact, you are just a reckless man."

With these words, Fang Xie turned and left. Chen Dingnan looked at Chen Fu with a puzzled glance, but he saw the old man looking at the young general's back with special admiration.

"Why?"

He asked.

"Do you think Li Yuanshan will win?"

Chen Fu asked him at leisure.

Chen Dingnan shook his head: "even though the counter insurgency of the imperial army will not go smoothly, Li Yuanshan can't win after all."

"Then the day of the emperor's great victory is the time when my Chen family is destroyed. That's why I thank the general of the other party because he saved the only blood of my Chen family... You."

"He saved me?"

Chen Dingnan pondered for a while and suddenly understood: "my grandson understands!"

Fang Xie strode out of the Chen family's living room. As he walked, he ordered: "tie sun Kaidao, hold his hand and mouth for 30, and hold him in a cage. If you beg for mercy, say one word and hit one mouth."

Chen Xiaoru was stunned, but he still agreed. He turned around and left with some flying fish robes. Not long after, sun Kaidao's voice for mercy came: "general, I'm sorry for my humble position!"

Fang Xie ignored it and quickly stepped out of the Chen family's Mansion: "take food and grass and leave qiu'an County immediately."

Zhuo Buyi followed him and asked, "why do you want to deal with sun Kaidao?"

While walking, Fang Xie said, "you and I don't know that Chen Fuxian is the father-in-law of the king of Xujun, but how can sun Kaidao know? If he said it in advance, how could there be this fight? He went to the door directly to ask for help. He can't borrow food and grass. This man has to calculate everything. If he doesn't kill the obscurity in his heart, he doesn't know how to be a subordinate."

"Why not just kill him?"

Zhuo Buyi asked.

"Because he must have reason to lie to me."

Fang Xie said as he walked, "he's not an idiot."

……

……

When Fang Xie took people out of qiu'an County, thousands of miles away. Luo Yao, dressed in royal clothes, reined in his war horse and looked at the people stopped in the official way with cold eyes. This place is less than a hundred miles away from Yongzhou City, and those who don't want him to go back have been waiting here early.

In front of him stood hundreds of monks in bright red cassocks.

Holding a gold ring and sabre, he has no expression.
