The pitiful envoy had been reprimanded twice, but he still didn't know what had happened. He stood there like a wooden stake, unable to come to his senses.
When he came back to his senses, he realized that Yang Duohe was in a hurry to leave just now, so he didn't have time to put on his shoes. He immediately picked up his shoes and chased after Yang Duohe from a distance. Your shoes! "
But how could Yang Duohe care about his shoes? He was barefooted, and with both hands, he lifted the legs of his pants. Without even looking back, he rushed forward, anxious to meet these two unexpected guests.
Why was Yang Duan so anxious to see these two new arrivals after seeing what the envoy had reported to him? That was because what he saw was something he had seen more than ten years ago. This item was carved with the word "Fan" on a fine jade with dragon and tiger markings on its edges. Only the high general would be able to obtain this if he were to receive a reward from a king. This piece of silicon jade was given to him by Ying and the Great General Fan, who had led him into the Northern and Southern wars, back in the days when he had fought against the State of Zhao. Back then, when they attacked Zhao, Fan Yicheng's assistant general was none other than Yang Duohe. That was why he recognized it when he saw it today. Now that this object had appeared, it could mean that he was about to meet his old comrade from ten years ago. How could he not be excited?
Yang Duohe hurried back to his prefecture palace. The servants and soldiers at the gate greeted him, but he ignored them and rushed straight to his Inner Mansion.
From afar, he could see two figures that had been waiting in the county governor's yamen's hall for a long time. One was a burly, bearded man, and the other was a handsome young master from a wealthy family.
Yang Duohe rushed forward, and immediately clasped his fists to welcome him. When he was a meter away from him, he immediately dropped to one knee and shouted, "Don't welcome Yang Duohe to meet the Great General!"
Although Yang Duohe was now a noble county governor of Upper Communion, he was used to the etiquette of fighting wars with Fan Yuzhen. Thus, he greeted him with military salute.
"Brother Yang, please get up!" When Fan saw Yang Duan suddenly enter the stage, he immediately stepped forward to help Yang Duan up.
While standing up, Yang Duohe apologised again and again, "The great general has come to my old home today, and has failed to welcome you. He deserves to die a thousand times for his crimes."
Fan Yuzhan was already a guest, so he couldn't stand hearing Yang Chen speak like this. He also refused, "Brother Yang, you have spoken too seriously. I am no longer some general, I am just a general at the entrance."
"Hey, what the great general said is wrong. It doesn't matter if the great general is in charge of the military, he will always be the great general of my mediocre army in Mild Heart." Yang Duohe's words were full of meaning, which moved Fan Yuzhen.
Fan Yicheng was moved. He wanted to reconstruct the topic and take a closer look at Yang Duohe, but he found that his clothes were in disarray from top to bottom. The straw hat on his head had disappeared, and his hair was disheveled, while his feet were barefoot. He was immediately puzzled, pointed at Yang Duohe's clothes and asked, "Brother Yang, what are you doing?"
Yang Duan followed Fan Yicheng's instructions and carefully examined his entire body. He immediately understood what was going on, and said with an embarrassed look on his face, "I was fishing by the Han River when I saw the jade talisman reported by the envoy, and only after careful inspection did I realize it was from the Great General's personal belongings. I couldn't help but feel too excited, and only after rushing all the way from the Han River to this place, did I end up in such a sorry state, worthy of the Great General's ridicule."
When Fan Yuzhen heard this, his gratitude rose to its peak as he praised, "You and your brother are really emotional people! Indeed, you do not disappoint the friendship that I had with you that year. "
"Of course, how could I forget about the engagement that happened back then. Ever since I left the great general, I have longed day and night for the chance to meet you again, and now I have really brought you here," Yang Duohe was now full of passion and enthusiasm. He hurriedly said, "Great General, please wait here for a moment.
"Brother Yang, please wait." Unexpectedly, Fan Yicheng grabbed Yang's arm, interrupting his hospitality.
Yang Duohe was instantly puzzled. He frowned slightly and asked, "What is the great general doing?"
Fan Yicheng slowly put down Yang Duan and the right hand on his arm, then continued, "I'm not here to drink and reminisce about the past. I have something else to ask of you."
When Yang Duan heard that there was something he wanted to ask for, he just crawled up his chest and said, "Great General, if there is anything you need, you just need to say it. As long as it is something you can do, you will do your best."
Seeing Yang Duan speak in such a manner, Fan Yuzheng was also relieved. He cupped his fists towards Yang Duan and said, "I thank you and my brother first." Then, he turned around and waved his hand towards Yang Duan and the others, "Does Brother Duan and your brother recognize this young master?"
Yang Duohe followed Fan Yuzhen's instructions, and carefully looked at this handsome young master before slowly saying: "This young master has a noble appearance, I'm afraid he isn't an ordinary person."
Hearing Yang Duohe's words, Fan Yuzhen nodded his head in confirmation. "He is indeed not an ordinary person, but do you think our brother and he really don't recognize the eldest young master?"
Yang Duan and the other rich family's young masters thought he was just a noble family, but when they heard Fan Xian say the three words "Young Master Chang", they were shocked at first, but then they looked up and down carefully, and immediately kneeled down in fear as they saluted, "This subject deserves to die a thousand deaths. I didn't know young master Chang An has come, I hope young master Chang An will punish me."
Cheng Yu originally came to Yang Duan to protect him, so he didn't have time to bear Yang Duan's courtesy. He quickly helped Yang Duan up and said, "General Yang is loyal to protect the common people. What's wrong with that?"
Although Yang Duohe had stood up, his face was filled with confusion. He already knew that Changan Juncheng had been brutally exorcised when he had ascended the throne to the throne with Ying Zheng. How could he be here now? However, he recognized that the person in front of him was definitely Chang An. As a result, his head was filled with fog as he furrowed his brows and asked Fan Yuzhen, "Young Master Chang, you've obviously already … how could you …"
Although Yang Duohe only spoke half a sentence, Fan Yuzhen understood very well, so he explained to him slowly, "Brother Yang, you may not know this, but when the eldest son and Ying Zheng ascended the throne, I was the mediator. Fortunately, when I was in danger, I swapped the eldest young master and secretly sent people to the borders of Zhao, allowing him to be in exile until now. "Sigh, it's all my fault."
Yang Duan He finally understood what was going on, and followed up by consoling Fan Xian, "People are not sages, how can there be no mistakes? The great general was momentarily deceived and believed that Ying Zheng was right. Furthermore, the general did not harm the eldest young master, but had instead spared his life.
"What General Yang said is true, Cheng Jiang does not blame General Fan for giving up on his choice of choice. It is just that after suffering so much, his belief in fighting for the throne has long since been dispelled. If it wasn't for General Fan personally looking for me, I'm afraid I would still be cultivating on Rao Yang's hill right now." Cheng Yu took over Yang Duohe's words and told him about what happened next.
"Oh?" Yang Duohe had been separated from the Qin Empire for many years, and he had no way of knowing what had happened in the country of Qin. Now that he heard Cheng Yu speak of it, he could not understand why Cheng Yu would allow Cheng to return at this time, so he asked Fan Xian with a surprised look on his face, "Ying Zhengguo has been the king of the country for many years, and it has already become a foregone conclusion. Why would the Great General let the eldest young master continue to be involved in this struggle for the throne?"
Hearing Yang Duohe's words, Fan Yuzhen sighed softly and said, "Brother Yang, you may not know, but the Qin Dynasty is no longer the Qin Dynasty. After becoming Prime Minister of the Qin Nation, Reese began to rope in his former subjects one step at a time, forming his own faction. He also joined the filthy sects in the martial arts world, maiming many loyal people and even his junior brother, Han Fei, was not spared."
"Han Fei? "Are you talking about that Mr. Han Feizi who used 'Solitary Enmity' and 'Five Worms' to incite Ying Zheng to work hard to strengthen the country of Qin?" Although Yang Duohe had never seen Han Fei's true face, he had obviously heard of Han Fei's stories outside.
"That's the sage." Fan Yicheng answered Yang Duohe's question with certainty, but then, his eyes flashed with anger as he gnashed his teeth and said, "Mr. Han is full of talent, has a pure and noble character, and has a loyal heart. He is also very close to me. "How could that traitor Reese, who couldn't stand seeing that Ying Zheng thought highly of Mr. Han, actually plotted to frame Mr. Han, and even went against him when he was in the midst of fighting against Mr. Han? He firmly believed with Reese that Mr. Han was a traitor and wanted Mr. Han dead in prison."
"How could there be such an injustice?" Mister Han is someone who everyone in the country of Qin praises and is a loyal servant of the country of Qin. How could the Duke of Qin simply listen to the side of a treacherous official? " When Yang Duan heard Fan Yuzhen's words, he felt quite sorry for him, so he asked him about Fan Yuzhen.
What's more, Ying Zheng actually allowed Seth to send people to the Han Residence, and killed everyone in the Han Residence. Only by doing so did he leave behind the last line of the Han Family, Han Zhong, to flee to my manor. This Reese is actually still not willing to give up and even sent assassins to my house to kill me. He actually didn't even let me go. "I thought that if it weren't for Ying Zheng's sudden change of heart, Duan wouldn't have allowed Reese to do whatever he wanted, which is why I decided to look for the eldest young master and help him regain his rightful place." Fan Yuzhen knew that Yang Duan He would have this question, so he explained the whole situation to him in detail.
"This Reese scoundrel is so audacious, he actually dares to scheme against the present chief elder, the Grand General!" When Yang Duan and Reese heard that Reese had sent people to assassinate Fan Yicheng, they immediately flew into a rage and said, "This Ying Zheng is also a fool. In my opinion, it's within reason that the eldest young master would snatch him away!"
"Shh — be careful of the wall." Seeing Yang Duohe so agitated, Fan Yuzheng signaled him to speak softly in case he made too much noise and caused a change in the surrounding people.
Unexpectedly, Yang Duohe didn't seem to care at all, and confidently said, "General, you can be assured that I will only listen to my orders and not betray me."
After hearing Yang Duohe's words, Fan Yuzhen felt a bit more relieved. He then remembered that he had escaped to the right place, and so he felt a lot more relieved.
Since Fan Yuzhen had calmed down, he continued, "Since Brother Yang has said so, I am relieved."
"General, please be at ease. I will arrange for a few of the senior general to come together to discuss the military matters at dinner time." Since Yang Duan and Fan Yuzhen's veterans had promised to lend him a hand, they wouldn't let him off the hook. They did what they said, and were in a hurry to arrange the preparations.
"Then I'll leave everything to Brother Yang." When Fan Yu Chen heard this, he cupped his fists in thanks.
"There is no need to be courteous Great General. He is a deputy general who used to be the general and is only willing to be the vanguard of the general. Since this is the general's plan, he will definitely pledge his life to follow him!" After Yang Duan and Fan Yizhen swore to each other, they began to walk. "Duan He will go now."
However, just as he took a few steps, he suddenly turned around and said embarrassedly, "Look at my burning temper. The great general and the great young master must have been exhausted since they were rushing here. Please enter my mansion to rest. I'll bring a few generals along with you."
"Then we'll do as Brother Yang says."
When Yang Duan and Fan Yicheng had said their goodbyes, he ordered several attendants to take them to rest in his mansion, while he himself did not dare to delay for even a moment. He only changed into a fresh set of official clothes and went to look for the leaders of his previous mediocre subordinates.
By the evening, the people in the upper mediocre city had finished their farming work and were returning one by one while singing their pastoral songs. The vendors in the city's market had gradually packed up their stalls and were preparing to return home. At this moment, Yang Duohe's mansion was filled with an unusual group of people. Normally, these people were only farmers farming in the fields, or street vendors shouting, or woodmen who had entered the mountains to chop wood, or fishermen who had gone fishing. However, at this moment, all of them had changed into a new set of clothes, each of them was wearing a set of armor, carrying a bronze sword at their waists, looking like a warrior who was about to set off for battle.
This was the case for mediocre people. Normally, they would return home unarmed. Once a war broke out, everyone would be able to fight back.
When these high-ranking officers suddenly heard that Yang Duan had been summoned by the military emblem, none of them dared to be negligent. They all gathered at Yang Duohe's mansion according to the appointed time.
"County Governor, I wonder what major matter has happened that requires the county governor to be appointed with a military seal? "Today, I've been farming since the beginning, but I haven't seen any signs of armored bandits carrying heavy supplies outside the city." When one of the generals saw Yang Duan and the others slowly ascend to the seat of honor, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
