Chapter 758 The real goal
Lei Fang sighed and said: "He Meiyu, why don't you go into the house to persuade him? He will get sick if he does this."

"I've been persuading him for several days, and I'm tired of persuading him. But Zhao Kuangyin is like this. Let alone cheating him of so much money, Zhao Kuangyin will be angry for several days even if he cheated him of a tael of silver." He Meiyu Depressed: "How did I find such a man? Should I consider remarrying? Before I gave birth to Zhao Kuangyin's little money fan, I should be able to marry now."

"Don't think about marrying a chicken and going with the flow. Anyway, except for Zhao Kuangyin, who is a bit disappointing when he is obsessed with money, he is pretty good at other times."

He Meiyu said: "Sister Lei Fang, what is your business in the Zhao residence?"

Lei Fang nodded, and then raised her voice: "Has Zhao Kuangyin scolded enough? Come on, I have a deal with you."

Zhao Kuangyin immediately walked out of the room, with a murderous look all over his body, staring at Lei Fang with red eyes.Han Chongyun immediately rushed forward to block Lei Fang, if Zhao Kuangyin dared to make a move, he would go up and pester him immediately.

Zhao Kuangyin took two steps forward, the whole space was shaking, at this moment Zhao Kuangyin was mad with anger, what would happen when he saw Lei Fang?Han Chongyun didn't dare to make a move anymore, because the murderous aura emanating from Zhao Kuangyin's body almost fixed his figure. Although Zhao Kuangyin hadn't made a move yet, Han Chongyun clearly felt that as long as Zhao Kuangyin made a move, his life would be gone.

Zhao Kuangyin came directly to Lei Fang's side, looked at the woman in front of him angrily, then forced an ugly smile, and asked, holding back the anger in his heart, "What business?"

Lei Fang took a deep breath and said, "I will offer you 5000 taels of silver to protect my husband. This time we are going back to Chang'an to give my father a jar of wine. The younger brother said that you must be the bodyguard. Although I don't know what the younger brother's intentions are. , It should be to let you recover a little loss. Although 5000 taels of silver is not much, it is still a little bit of my heart."

Zhao Kuangyin frowned and thought about it carefully.Lei Fang is a master of martial arts, does she still need someone to protect her?And just to give Lei Hong a jar of wine?This matter was very strange in the first place, if it was just to give Lei Hong a jar of wine, Lei Fang didn't need to go herself, let alone Fan Zhi.Kaifeng Bianliang is not far from Chang'an, and they will arrive soon by water. They still need bodyguards?
Zong Xin is not the kind of person who deliberately asks his sister to donate a little money to him. Something will definitely happen during this wine delivery trip, and it will be a big one.So Zong Xin recommended his sister to find him as a bodyguard.But who in today's world would dare to offend Lei Hong's family?I'm afraid Qi Wang Gao Xingzhou didn't have the guts, there was only one person in the entire Great Zhou who had the guts.

But that person is not on the road from Bianliang to Chang'an. Although it can't be called the opposite direction, the direction is wrong.So it shouldn't be this person.

Zhao Kuangyin took a deep breath and said, "Did Zong Xin ask you to come to me?"

"Of course, he saw that you were too poor, so he asked me to send you some money to spend, but he couldn't find any other reason, so he asked you to act as my husband's bodyguard temporarily. If you want, let's set off immediately, If you don’t want to, we’ll go on our own.”

Zhao Kuangyin gritted his teeth and said, "I don't earn Zongxin's money. That grandson ruined my family. I wish I could pluck his skin, constrict his tendons, gnaw his bones, and eat his heart. But...if it's just If I want to protect Mr. Fan, I am willing to do this. It is only out of loyalty among friends. Of course, I also have my own conditions. When you arrive in Chang'an and see King Leihong, you can just greet him instead of me."

"What...what do you think?" Lei Fang asked in surprise, "We gave you 5000 taels for nothing and you don't want to do this, but you still have to do it? This is not what a person surnamed Zhao should do."

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Sister Lei Fang, you don't know much about Zong Xin. This trip is not so safe. If you pay me to go, I will be your servant. If I don't take money, everyone They are friends. If there are any benefits, even if you can’t take them all, at least you can share them equally. If I take your money, I’m ashamed to take those benefits. Although the surname Zhao is greedy for money, our family rules strictly prohibit it, so in order to Too much money, we can’t charge you for employment.”

Lei Fang took a deep breath and said: "Your boy is exactly what Zong Xin said, even if I give you money, it's useless, and you will definitely not want it. Then everyone, we have packed our bags and bags, and we will leave today and tomorrow." Set off for Chang'an."

"To Chang'an?" Zhao Kuangyin thought for a moment, then shook his head and said: "Well, maybe there will be some changes when we start tomorrow. I don't think we will go to Chang'an this trip. Although we don't know the reason, but I can roughly guess Zong Xin's intentions, let's talk about it tomorrow."

"Okay, as long as you agree. Can we meet at Fanzhi early tomorrow morning?"

"Row."

Lei Fang nodded and said, "Then take my leave."

Although Fan Zhi is the head of the family, when he goes out to talk about things, it is Lei Fang who speaks, and Fan Zhi has almost no qualifications to express his opinions.Because his martial arts were too low, and this time he was not talking about national affairs, but just looking for a bodyguard, so Fan Zhi could only keep silent, because his life needed the protection of Lei Fang and Zhao Kuangyin.

As a man, Fan Zhi felt that it was quite embarrassing.Although he wants to practice martial arts well, Fan Zhi has too many things to deal with in the court, and there is no extra time to practice quietly.What's more, as the prime minister of the first dynasty, Fan Zhi didn't need very strong martial arts, he only needed a clever mind.

What is Zong Xin's purpose this time?Fan Zhi didn't figure it out. Although he was very smart, he didn't understand Zong Xin.But Zhao Kuangyin knew Zong Xin very well. He said that he might not go to Chang'an. Could it be that Zong Xin had already figured out that Lei Hong had left Chang'an?This is strange, if Lei Hong is not in Chang'an, where would he go?
…………

What Zhao Kuangyin said was correct, Fan Zhi didn't get the news until this evening that the Khitan army was coming down, and the leader of the army turned out to be Yeluzhen, the king of martial arts who had regained his youth.It was the first time for Yeluzhen to lead troops to press down on the border. If there were no martial arts masters to defend the city, it is estimated that Cangzhou would not be able to defend it.

Fu Yanqing had already received the news from the spies, so when Yeluzhen sent troops, he had already sent people to Leiwang's mansion to ask Lei Hong to go to Cangzhou to resist the Khitan army.At that time, Fu Yanqing didn't know whether the news was accurate, so he didn't dare to inform the court.

Sure enough, Yeluzhen suppressed Cangzhou with troops. Fortunately, Lei Hong confronted him, and Yeluzhen did not send troops to attack the city.But this is by no means a trivial matter, Fu Yanqing sent someone to notify Guo Wei.After the imperial court got the news, of course, the two prime ministers, Wang Pu and Fan Zhi, were notified immediately.

Wang Pu was also in a hurry to get angry, but at this time Fan Zhi immediately guessed Zong Xin's intention.If this group of people were going to Cangzhou, they would probably be robbed halfway if they didn't get to Cangzhou.Now Da Zhou can talk about internal and external troubles. If his father-in-law is going to stop the foreign troubles, what he has to do is naturally solve the internal troubles.

Fan Zhi immediately knew that Zhao Kuangyin had already guessed Zong Xin's thoughts after hearing this incident, and he was not a real person who gave wine to Lei Hong.I just hope that this group of people will take this trip, and something will naturally come to them halfway.Moreover, Fan Zhi probably guessed who was causing the trouble. Now that Wang Jun had just died, the only person who would cause trouble was of course Wang Jun's second uncle, Wang Yin.The city lord of Yedu, although his power was after the Great Zhou Dynasty, he only surrendered to Guo Wei, and did not surrender completely, as if one party claimed the king and listened to the instructions but not to the announcement.

Wang Yin is a tricky person, with superb martial arts skills, but he does not participate in any grievances and court affairs, as long as no one messes with him.As one of the contemporary masters, Wang Yin's biggest feature is that he has been staying in Yedu and basically never left his territory. In Yedu, Wang Yin has absolute power of life and death, and has tens of thousands of troops. No one dares to mess with it.

Wang Yin's position in the imperial court was Cangzhou coach, and most of Fu Yanqing's troops received Wang Yin's training in Yedu first, and then went to the Cangzhou battlefield.Wang Yin did a very good job in this aspect. All the soldiers in Cangzhou were as fierce as tigers and as strong as cattle.

The reason why Wang Yin has always supported Guo Wei and never thought of rebelling is because his nephew Wang Jun is an official under Guo Wei's account. Guo Wei is very kind to Wang Jun, and Wang Yin is also relieved of this.Now that Wang Jun died, it is impossible for Wang Yin not to react. If Wang Yin rebelled, it would be a real internal and external trouble.

Although Wang Yin was just a small city lord of Yedu, Ye was the ancient capital of the Five Dynasties, with a very developed economy and military.It is not easy to attack the city with tens of thousands of troops.However, Wang Yin will not be so stupid as to call the king rebellious directly, he will definitely wait for an opportunity to let Guo Wei have internal and external troubles, and then raise troops.When the time comes to directly enter Bianliang, Kaifeng, few people can prevent Wang Yin from ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor.

The most troublesome thing now is that Wang Yin has no fault at all, and has been staying in Yedu and has never left the city, so Guo Wei and Chai Rong have no reason to do anything to him.Moreover, if there is civil turmoil in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty and the Northern Han Dynasty will also take advantage of the situation. Where should Guo Wei send his troops?
Li Jing swallowed up the Dugu Clan's financial power and power, and the treasury has money all at once. Now Li Jing has no other goals besides dealing with Da Zhou.Li Jing has always wanted to unify the world, and the Great Zhou is his biggest obstacle. When he heard that Guo Wei was seriously ill, Li Jing almost couldn't bear it. If he knew that Wang Yin rebelled, he would definitely raise troops immediately.

However, both Wang Yin and Li Jing have the same idea, as long as anyone moves first, they will follow the trend.But neither of them will move first, the reason is very simple, the one who sends troops first will definitely die the worst.The ones who take advantage are always those who send troops last, and they all want to delay as long as possible.

Fan Zhi thought about it all night, and was upset all night.Yeluzhen's army was overwhelming, and he couldn't work in the court, so he had to go to Lei Hong.Yeluzhen and Wang Yin were both the cause of upset, the whole court was in chaos, and even Fan Zhi, who thought he was extremely smart, had nothing to do.
