Chapter 198: Dark Tide
"Pan Zhi is crazy?" Qiu Yan was slightly stunned.
Pan Zhi is the name of the third young master Pan.
At first glance, Qiu Yan was slightly surprised when he heard the news, but then after thinking about it, he understood the reason-
"That's right, Tang Lai passed on to the third young master Pan a set of Taishang Magic Tricks, this exercise is difficult for many monks to control, not to mention an ordinary person, when he first practiced, he may be refreshed, but after a long time, the demons in his heart are deep, and there are too many miscellaneous thoughts in his thoughts, and his thoughts are swollen, how can he not go crazy? ”
Pan Yuanwai has a total of three sons, the eldest son and the second son are all on the official road, one is a jinshi, and the other is recommended.
Two years ago, the black-faced minister came to power to preside over the change of the law, but there were not many people in the DPRK and China, so they had to entrust the limited manpower with heavy responsibilities, and the Pan brothers seized the opportunity at that time, regarded themselves as the new party, and gradually became the backbone, and later Pan Yuanwai died unexpectedly, according to the etiquette law, the Pan brothers should return to their hometowns to guard the system, but the new party lacks talents, so they were robbed of affection, which shows that it is valued.
However, Qiu Yan also had a new question in his heart-
"I didn't come back when I was guarding the system, but now I suddenly returned, and I suddenly became the commander of the capital, controlling the soldiers of the three prefectures, and responsible for pacifying and pacifying the swamp people, what is going on? Aren't all these swamp people pacified by the frontier military town?"
The commander of the envoy, in fact, is the military position of the former dynasty, in the Darui Dynasty is a temporary establishment, is the position of leading the troops, the power is very flexible, as if this control of the three government soldiers, in fact, it is already a lot of power, if it can really stabilize the power, it can be counted in the entire Jiannan Road.
However, although the commander of the capital has the title of commanding the military affairs of the three governments, he cannot extend his hand into the jurisdiction of the jiedu envoy. Strictly speaking, the Jiedu envoy is regarded as a military commander, commanding the military and political affairs of a city, and his authority seems to be smaller than that of the capital commander, but when it comes to the combat effectiveness of the army, it is much stronger than those defenders who are stationed in the city.
Zhang Yunling seemed to see Qiu Yan's doubts, so he said: "I know a little about this matter, and I heard that it was caused by the poor implementation of the new law in Jiannan Dao. At this point, he kept his mouth shut, but the information revealed in his words was enough.
The implementation of the new law in Jiannan Province is not effective, although Qiu Yan has not investigated this matter. However, it can also be seen that the new laws touch the interests of the gentry, of course, they are not popular, and the government of Jiannan Province is not controlled by the new party.
"Pan is coming. It should be the New Party that wants to seize this excuse to break the situation in South Kemnam-do. This Second Young Master Pan, strictly speaking, is also a gentry from Jiannan Province. On the contrary, as a cadre of the New Party, he came to implement the new law, and he did not know what to do. ”
Thinking about it, Qiu Yan took his thoughts back.
"It's useless to think too much. Since the second young master Pan has become the commander of the capital and is in charge of the soldiers of the three mansions, the purpose of his mobilization of the guards. It's just to gather qi and blood, then now that the ghost thing has retreated, the copper furnace is no longer there, there is no threat, and I just invited me to come over, I made a statement, which should make him dispel his thoughts, this person can sit on the backbone of the new party, he is by no means a stupid person, and he should know the danger behind it. ”
As soon as he thought of this, Qiu Yan didn't delay any longer, greeted Master Zhang, resigned the other party's proposal to send someone to follow, and then followed the servants of Pan's Mansion and walked towards Pan's Mansion.
Pan's Mansion has not changed much, a few months ago, Qiu Yan also had a night tour and dreamed of Pan Zhi's dream. However, compared with the past, Qiu Yan came over this time, and the welcome he received was completely different-
The red-lacquered main entrance of Pan's Mansion had been opened, and a young man in a dark robe stood by the door.
From a distance, Qiu Yan felt a heroic spirit from this person, and this jiashi and momentum also made Qiu Yan guess his identity at the first time.
"This person should be Pan Xiang, the second young master of the Pan family. ”
As soon as this person saw Qiu Yan and the servant who led the way, his face was happy, and he didn't wait for the servant to report in the past, so he hurriedly greeted him, hugged his fists and said with a smile: "This brother Tai is extraordinary, it should be Qiu Yan and Brother Qiu. ”
Pan Xiang's words and deeds are warm and thoughtful, and the etiquette is thorough, giving people a feeling of spring breeze, even Qiu Yan can't help but feel good.
"This person looks different from his brother, he doesn't have the frame of a family child, he should be an easy person to deal with, and he might as well persuade him bluntly, since he is here for the new law, if the invasion of the swamp people disturbs the order of Yuanning, it will be equally bad for him. ”
Qiu Yan had previously discovered the plans of the swamp people through the divine thoughts of the gods, but after all, the power of one person was limited, and the gods themselves could not interfere with the mundane at will, if they wanted to quell the military disaster, they had to rely on his strength after all, and the government was naturally the first choice, and this Pan Xiang had the position of commander and soldier, which was undoubtedly the ideal candidate.
Accompanied by Pan Xiang's enthusiasm, Qiu Yan entered Pan's Mansion with him, went straight to the main hall, and was invited to take a seat.
When the two of them sat down separately, there were maids watching tea and serving pastries.
"Speaking of which, Brother Qiu still has some connections with my Pan Mansion, and my aunt and sister-in-law are mostly taken care of by Brother Qiu. The younger brother is young, and he is sad and faint because of the loss of his father, and he is offended, so please don't take Brother Qiu to heart. ”
As soon as he sat down, Pan didn't wait for Qiu Yan to ask, and Xiang took the initiative to talk about the Liu family and Pan Rongniang, with an easy-going tone and a taste of calming people.
"That's wrong, it's right to take care of your aunt and cousin, why thank you," Qiu Yan shook his head, unintentionally circled, and went straight to the point with two greetings, "I commanded the envoy to summon Qiu over this time, I don't know what to see?"
Pan Xiang's brows moved slightly, but his smile was still the same: "Actually, this matter is simple, I heard that Brother Qiu can use words to suppress evil spirits, and two words can cure the prefect and all the uncles." To tell you the truth, my brother got a cold a few days ago and fell into madness, and I also asked a doctor to heal and Taoist priests, all of whom said that it was a foreign demon, so I had a reluctant request, and I wanted to ask Brother Qiu for a word to calm down the evil spirit. ”
"Asking for words?" Qiu Yan frowned when he heard this, and his heart turned his mind, "The news spread so quickly? It has only been half a day, and it has already spread? But that Pan Zhi is not evil, but has attracted external demons, the last time I entered his dream, I noticed that his person had a sign of impending disaster, and I thought it was the right thing." ”
Having said that, Qiu Yan knew that it was difficult to shirk, after all, there was the relationship between his aunt and the Liu family.
Liu is Pan Yuanwai's concubine, and giving birth to a son is a concubine, not to mention that she is still a daughter, Pan Yuanwai had no status when she was alive, but now she was picked up from Qingchang with great fanfare.
As the two spoke, a servant suddenly walked in, his steps steady.
Although this servant is dressed as a subordinate, his momentum is extraordinary, his physique is strong, the heavenly court is full, his two temples are high and bulging, and there is a glint in his eyes.
Qiu Yan glanced at this person, and his heart was clear.
"This person should be a guard disguised and following Pan Xiang's side to protect him. ”
The man also glanced at Qiu Yan, then frowned slightly, then walked to Pan Xiang's side, lowered his head, and spoke, but the voice condensed into a line, directly into Pan Xiang's ears, and it didn't leak out at all.
Seeing this, Qiu Yan was secretly surprised and couldn't help but pay attention.
"Huh, it came so suddenly?" Hearing the man's words, Pan Xiang's face changed, and he got up and smiled apologetically at Qiu Yan, "Brother Qiu, I'm really sorry, I wanted to talk to you, but I didn't expect to come to military affairs suddenly." ”
"Business matters. Qiu Yan got up and arched his hand, and took the opportunity to say, "However, Qiu has an inquiry, I heard that in order to stabilize the city, the soldiers of the surrounding counties have been transferred, so that the garrison of several cities is empty, I have seen the prince of the swamp people in Wuxin City before, and I know a little about the style of the swamp people, if they know about this, I am afraid that they will be suspected of taking advantage of the fire to rob, please think twice." ”
He communicated with Pan Xiang for a while, feeling the emotions and thoughts scattered by the other party, and knowing that he was a person seeking stability, he no longer covered it up, and directly put out the words in his heart, which was extraneous to save the province.
He didn't say this very clearly, but when he woke up, he thought that Pan Xiang would take precautions in the future.
"Oh?" Pan Xiang listened to Qiu Yan's words, his heart jumped, but the expression on his face was as usual, "Brother Qiu also has contact with the swamp people? I was a little negligent, but the swamp people seem to be vicious, in fact, they are scattered, and they dare not take risks to anger the Celestial Empire, but they really should not be taken lightly, if there are guerrillas who infiltrate the defense line and hurt the people, it will not be good, after all, they are all the people of Darui, and human lives are at stake." ”
A strange color flashed in Qiu Yan's eyes, nodded and said no more, turned around and was about to leave.
Unexpectedly, Pan Xiang recruited someone: "Come on, take Brother Qiu to the wing room to rest, and then go to inform Aunt Jiu, and when my side is done, I will have a banquet for Brother Qiu." ”
When the words fell, a little guy came to show Qiu Yan the way.
Qiu Yan glanced at Pan Xiang: "There is Lao Du commanding." And then he walked away.
Looking at Qiu Yan's back, Pan Xiang squinted his eyes, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes: "This Qiu Yan, it seems that he is not only well-written, but also has a little knowledge, and can push out the movements of the swamp people from the transfer of soldiers, but he also has some vision, but unfortunately he is too close to the old party and has to guard against it." ”
Behind him, Kong Wu's powerful servant stepped forward and said in a low voice: "I heard that this person has some friendship with Wen Anguo, and now that he is suspicious of the swamp people, do you want to ......" The latter words he did not finish, but the strong murderous intent had already revealed the meaning.
Pan Xiang shook his head: "The court battle is different from the vendetta of the rivers and lakes, and the rash action can only leave the tongue, there is a word called wanting to cover the Mizhang, we must take it as a warning, besides, Qiu Yan is just a show of talent, he has insight, and his influence is limited, so there is no need to make a fuss, they are all loyal to the country, but their ambitions are different." ”
The burly servant nodded and said, "Sir is right, Wu Gang has been taught." ”
Pan Xiang then smiled again: "Okay, don't say more, where is the messenger of the fat letter? Let him in." ”
Outside, a faint, thin smoke slowly drifted into the house. (To be continued......)
