Chapter 869: The Yiren Have Returned
Second Uncle Gu said to Yang Fan: "Shen Gongzi once praised Ah Lang in front of Old Lady Cui, you are a generation of talents, young and promising, when you see it today, it really deserves its reputation!" ”
When Yang Fan heard the words "Shen Gongzi", he immediately dispelled the idea of leaving.
In this era, not only people with two bad money are qualified to be called Gongzi, several times in the world, it is estimated that there will be no more than 100 young people surnamed Shen who are qualified to be called "Gongzi", and among these 100 Shen Gongzi, there should be only one person in the whole world who has the opportunity to meet Mrs. Cui and evaluate others with an almost equal status in front of him-Shen Mu!
Yang Fan hadn't seen Shen Mu for a long time, and when he and "Cui Gongzi" were competing for the position of the suzerain of Xianzong, Shen Mu was active in Silla and Goryeo, and it was said that this was a punishment of nature. Yang Fan was busy fighting for power with "Cui Gongzi" at that time, and did not pay attention to him.
In fact, even if there was no series of things that involved Yang Fan's energy after that, he would not pay special attention to Shen Gongzi's news, because in his heart, he had never regarded Shen Mu as an object that should be vigilant. At this time, after listening to the words of the second uncle Gu, Yang Fan's heart couldn't help but move, and blurted out: "What the second uncle said, but Shen Mu Shen Gongzi?" ”
Second Uncle Gu said in fear: "But I really don't deserve to be called that." What Ah Lang said is not bad, what the villain said is Shen Mu Shen Gongzi. ”
Yang Fan was overjoyed when he heard this, and he didn't care about the question of his theoretical title, and asked anxiously, "Shen Mu has returned from Silla?" Where did the second uncle meet him? ”
Second Uncle Gu saw that he insisted on calling himself the second uncle, and he no longer grabbed this title and continued to be humble, so he said: "The villain met Shen Gongzi in Cui's Mansion. Speaking of which, it's been a while, probably ......"
One of the two called each other the second uncle, and the other called himself a villain. It's also weird, but both parties seem to be very comfortable. Second Uncle Gu rolled his eyes and thought for a while, and said, "Ah! The villain really can't remember the specific time, but the villain remembered this incident for more than a month, and the Khitan reversed! ”
Yang Fan was stunned, he thought that Shen Mu had just returned from Silla, but according to the second uncle of ancient times, Shen Mu came back a month before the Khitan rebellion, so it has been a year since he came back! Second Uncle Gu saw that Yang Fan's expression was a little weird, and couldn't help but ask strangely, "Ah Lang." What's wrong? ”
Yang Fan settled down and said, "Oh! Shen Gongzi and I are old acquaintances, and we haven't seen each other for a long time. If he has returned, find a time to meet him. It's just that I don't know if he visited Cui Taigong once in a while and came back from Silla, or if he just returned to the Central Plains? ”
Second Uncle Gu thought for a while and said, "I should be back here." The villain crippled his leg. Mobility is impossible, thanks to the old lady's care. Pingsu prunes the grass and flowers in the back house. That day, the villain was busy among the flowers and plants. Shen Mu Gongzi and the old lady sat next to him, the old lady congratulated him on his return to the Central Plains, and told him not to make the mistake of being young and vigorous in the future, and do a big incident that shook Gyeonggi! ”
"I see......"
Yang Fan felt a bitter taste in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face: "Uncle Gu, Second Uncle Gu, you can settle down in the mansion." I'm going to arrange for a thousand horsemen to be on duty in the palace tomorrow, and I'm going to be busy, and when I'm busy for a few days, I'll go to the yamen with you to get a contract to dissolve the slavery." ”
The two brothers thanked each other again. Gratitude was beyond words, Yang Fan smiled and nodded at them, and was about to leave, when Gu Zhuting suddenly stepped forward, and was about to kneel down with her legs.
Yang Fan hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold it, and said to her in disgust: "Come again!" As I have said, it is because you deserve the reward for your deeds, and you do not need to be polite. In addition, you can also discuss what you plan to do in the future, just tell me, but if I can help, I will never refuse! ”
"Yes! Thanked...... Thank you, Alang! ”
Gu Zhuting choked up and said, withdrew her hand with red eyes, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and glanced at Yang Fan faintly, with affection.
Gu Zhangzhang stood aside and happened to see his daughter's eyes, and his heart suddenly moved. His daughter has always been strong, and she has made a vow not to marry for the rest of her life since she was a child, and her stubborn temperament can't even help him as a father. But look at the current ...... I've never seen my daughter look like this before.
The old man looked at the back of Yang Fan who left in a hurry, and then looked at his daughter who was still staring at Yang Fan's back stupidly, and couldn't help muttering in his heart: Xiaoting is really just one of Ah Lang's subordinates? Ah Lang raised my family as a good family, is it really just because Xiaoting has made a contribution to him?
But look at her daughter again, her eyebrows are straight and her waist is straight, her neck is thin and her back is straight, her shoulders are tucked in her chest, her legs are tight, and there are two faint faint faint halos on her chin near her neck.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Yang Fan walked out of the mansion gate, whipped his horse violently, and the horse's hooves flew over, and immediately jumped out of the long alley and galloped into the avenue.
It was nearly dusk, the pedestrians returned to the square, the streets were sparsely populated, and the twilight sunset shone on the golden light of the Tianshu standing high in the distance. Yang Fan jumped on his horse and raised his whip, and rushed out of Anximen in Luoyang North City, only then did he let out a long breath of turbidity in his chest, and his hot face returned to normal.
Shen Mu has already returned, and it has been nearly a year since he came back!
But Shen Mu, who had been in contact with Yang Fan very frequently before, and had a common desire with him to overthrow the rule of Wu Zhou and reshape Li Tang Jiangshan, had never met him since he came back, and he hadn't even brought a message, and what was even more strange was that he didn't even know about this matter!
He is now the Sect Master of the Xian Sect, and there are many places where he will have to deal with Shen Mu, the Sect Master of the Yin Sect in the future; His personal relationship with Shen Mu has always been good; In public and private, Shen Mu didn't even have any reason to not see him or even do any communication. Yang Fan has always regarded Shen Mu as a friend or even a brother, which makes him feel a sense of humiliation and anger at being betrayed.
At the same time, he also had a chilling fear. What role does the "Succession Hall" play in this? No matter how powerful Shen Mu is, since he has come back, it is impossible for those family heads and elders of the Seven Sects and Five Surnames not to know about this matter, but everyone seems to have ignored him intentionally or unintentionally, and no one has told him the news, what kind of situation is this?
"Alang?"
Ren Wei Zema caught up. Seeing Yang Fan's gloomy face, he didn't know why he was suddenly displeased, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried. Yang Fan looked up at the blood-red sunset on the horizon, and said to Ren Wei: "Slow down and gallop, I want to be quiet!" ”
"Yes!"
Ren Wei agreed, and as soon as he raised his hand, several guards reined in one after another, slowing down and pulling away from Yang Fan. Anyway, there is a flat river ahead, and the weeds can't grow to the knees, so if there is any ambush, you can see it from afar. You don't need to follow it step by step.
They were originally sent to protect Yang Fan, and now they have a military position, Yang Fan privately bestows grace and publicizes authority, and the two-pronged approach makes these people loyal to him now.
Of course. If Yang Fan had a conflict with the five surnames of the Seven Sects, it would be difficult to say which side these guards from the Seven Great Families would stand on. After all, they are not only from the Seven Great Families. Moreover, there are parents, brothers, and children who are all in the Seven Great Families, which is equivalent to the hands of people who are hostage, but unless Yang Fan is the emperor himself, it is impossible to oppose the Seven Great Families.
Yang Fan has already left the city, so he no longer has to worry about the lock of the city gate, as for the time to return to the barracks. It's nothing if it's a little later or earlier, after all, he is the commander of the first army, and Sima Xu Liang, who is in charge of military discipline, can treat his old partner Huang Xuchang equally, but he has to turn a blind eye to him.
Yang Fan believed in the reins of the horse. It seemed as if he had suddenly had some leisure and was looking at the scenery in the suburbs, but his mind was no longer moved by external objects, and he was completely immersed in his inner thoughts.
Gradually, the resentment in Yang Fan's heart dissipated. Yes, maybe it's because of his lack of childhood, maybe it's because he has no brothers and sisters, so it's easy for him to automatically substitute Shen Mu's help and appreciation into a kind of friendship and brotherhood, but the reason why Shen Mu appreciates him and values him, and what is the original purpose of cooperating with him?
Shen Mu was close to him and valued him because of the connections and abilities he showed, which made Shen Mu feel that this person was useful. No matter what means Shen Mu used, even if it was heart-to-heart closeness, he couldn't get away from this purpose after all. Maybe Shen Mu planned to cultivate him as one of his capable subordinates at that time.
But the result?
When Shen Mu was "assigned" to Silla, Yang Fan had a head-on conflict with "Jiang Gongzi", and because he was in charge of the officials urgently needed by the Seven Great Families at that time to allocate this resource, and "Jiang Gongzi" began to be disgusted and abandoned by the Seven Great Families after repeated mistakes, which accidentally promoted him to the throne.
From that moment on, he began to become Shen Mu's opponent! Yang Fan now knew how humble Shen Mu's initial identity was, and how he rose step by step, until he gradually gained the ability to compete with him from a subordinate who was driven by "Jiang Gongzi".
Yang Fan remembered Zhao Yu and Xiaofei General Zhang Yi, under Shen Mu, there was also a group of relatives and subordinates, they were close to each other, shared weal and woe, and their feelings were deeper than that of themselves and Shen Mu, and now he replaced "Jiang Gongzi" and stood on the opposite side of Shen Mu, if he was Shen Mu, what should he do?
Give up your rights? Those brothers who were born and died for him and went to the soup and fire, who didn't want to get ahead, who didn't want to earn a family business, their interests, his own interests, Shen Mu's own interests, were sacrificed because of him Yang Fan? He and Shen Mu don't have such a deep friendship, even if he is Shen Mu's own brother.
If the relationship between them is reversed, can Yang Fan sacrifice the fame and future of Chu Madge and Ma Qiao, hand over the more than 20 shops that Xiaoman has worked hard to manage, hand over all his connections to Shen Mu, and be willing to let Shen Mu drive him from now on, can he be willingly driven by Shen Mu?
Thinking of this, Yang Fan immediately calmed down. As soon as the emotions of grief and resentment were eliminated, his spiritual platform became clear: Shen Mu did nothing wrong in Shen Mu's position. Again, from his standpoint, he should be doing something now!
