The happy life of a prodigal

Zhou Chen's expression became a little awkward when he heard this, but he still said anxiously: "My lord, the siege has not been completed yet, but it's not too far away. Those soldiers insist on seeing the magistrate..."

Before he finished speaking, Fang Xiu waved his hand impatiently, and said casually: "I know, I just need to go there."

"My lord, if something goes wrong this time, all the people in the city will be implicated. My lord, you should be..."

The voice stopped abruptly, Zhou Chen stared wide-eyed, looked at Fang Xiu in disbelief, and subconsciously asked, "My lord, what did you say?"

Fang Xiu glanced at him, waved his hands impatiently, and said, "I'm going to visit, why? Don't you understand?"

Zhou Chen revealed a look of surprise, and hurriedly said: "Understand, understand, I will prepare horses for my lord!"

"No need, I have horses..."

After Fang Xiu finished speaking, he ignored Zhou Chen, turned around and walked into his carriage.

The carriage started, and Zhou Chen followed on horseback, and soon reached the edge of the city wall.

Fang Xiu glanced at the city gate and ordered: "Open the city gate, I want to go out..."

"This..." Zhou Chen hesitated when he heard this, and didn't know how to respond for a while.

After hesitating for a while, he still said: "My lord, these thousand soldiers are gathered outside the city. If the city gate is opened and they suddenly rush in, just rely on these people with humble positions. I am afraid that they will not be able to stop them!"

Fang Xiu glanced at him, didn't say much, just ordered: "I ask you to open the city gate."

Zhou Chen gritted his teeth when he heard this, and finally made up his mind, saying, "Yes, my lord!"

Turning to look at the guards on the city wall, he said loudly, "Open the city gate!"

"Ah?" The guards were stunned when they heard this.

People are already approaching the city, so open the city gate at this time?

If something happens, whose is it?

However, since the city guard ordered it so, they have no choice but to open it.

At that time, it will be a big deal to protect the city gate desperately.

300 people versus more than 1000 people.

One side is well-equipped, the other side is full of experience, the outcome is still unknown!

Then, the city gate opened slowly.

People outside the city were also stunned when they saw this scene.

What does the other party mean?

Why did you open the city gate for no reason?

Zhao Rui's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a little turmoil in his heart.

With his many years of experience in leading troops, he naturally knew that if he took advantage of this time, he would lead troops to attack the city.

The opponent is determined not to stop them!

However, in that case, this matter is of another nature.

He stared at the city gate with heavy eyes, without making a decision.

The people next to him looked at him without saying a word.

After all, there was still no choice to attack the city.

The city gate was slowly closed again.

Above the city gate, Zhou Chen looked at Fang Xiu worriedly, and said loudly, "My lord, you must be careful!"

Fang Xiu turned his head and glanced at Zhou Chen, without saying a word, he ordered the driver: "Go forward."

"Yes, master!" The coachman nodded.

The little horse rattled forward, and the carriage soon arrived at the front of the troops.

Zhao Rui looked at the carriage with surprise on his face.

Obviously he knew that the person sitting in the carriage could never be the prefect of Jinzhou.

Although he has only met the prefect of Jinzhou a few times, he still knows him well, and it is absolutely impossible for him to do such a thing.

So, who is in the carriage?

He was a little curious.

The carriage moved on and gradually came to a stop.

Fang Xiu opened the curtain, walked out of the carriage, looked at Zhao Rui in front of him, smiled on his face, and said: "If I guessed correctly, you are the commander of the Jinzhou Army Station?"

Zhao Rui looked Fang Xiu up and down.

Dressed luxuriously, with a handsome face, he looked a bit like a dude.

But his calm and composed posture, and that indescribable temperament make people feel very naturally that this person is definitely not an ordinary son!

He looked at Fang Xiu, hesitated for a moment, nodded, and responded, "It's my officer."

Fang Xiu smiled and said: "I know that you are only here for one thing, canceling the military system, right?"

Zhao Rui was startled again.

He didn't expect the young man to say his purpose so bluntly.

The abolition of the military system, even the magistrate would not dare to say it openly in front of so many people.

After all, the military system is an ancestral system, and even if the emperor wants to abolish it, he will definitely encounter certain resistance.

He knew it in his heart, so he just wanted the magistrate to turn a blind eye, at least turn a blind eye to the young people in the military camp, so he would be satisfied. Besides, there is no extravagance for more.

However, this young man even bluntly said that the military system should be abolished...

He didn't know how to respond for a moment, his eyes darkened, and he remained silent.

Seeing this scene, Fang Xiu smiled again, and said: "Even if you boldly say that there are only me and my coachman here, even if you say so, no one will know, not to mention, you have already decided If you fall into the grass and become a bandit, are you still afraid of falling into the mouth?"

Hearing this, Zhao Rui thought for a while, gritted his teeth, and said, "That's right! I came here this time to get the court to abolish the military system!"

Chapter 28 You Can't Kill Me

Fang Xiu glanced at Zhao Rui, with a smile on his face, and said leisurely: "You can be regarded as a man. The military system does more harm than good. This officer knows this better than anyone else. To tell you the truth, this time I am here in Tianjin. The state capital came here just to see how corrupt the military system has become.

What I have seen and heard in the past few days has made me secretly startled. This military system will be canceled as soon as it is cancelled. There is no pity. From today on, you people will no longer be soldiers. Whether you are in business, literature, army or agriculture, it is all up to you, no one will restrain you..."

The voice fell, and there was a commotion in the formation.

Zhao Rui narrowed his eyes slightly and fell silent.

He knew in his heart that the military settlement system was an ancestral system, and it was not easy to cancel it. Even if the emperor wanted to cancel it, there would definitely be pedantic officials to obstruct it.

Who is this young man in front of him?How could they decide to abolish the military system on their own initiative?

Not surprisingly, I just said it casually to delay time.

So, he said: "I want to see the magistrate!"

He didn't know the identity of the young man in front of him, he only believed in the magistrate.

Because with the character of the magistrate, he is disdainful, he will not lie, let alone deceive him.

If this matter doesn't work, they will say it can't, and if it works, it can do it, without so many twists and turns, which is very similar to these warriors.

He prefers to communicate with such people.

When Fang Xiu heard this, he smiled and said, "You don't trust me."

Zhao Rui said: "I don't know your identity, but I know that the military system is not so easy to abolish. What you said has no basis. How can I trust you?"

Fang Xiu looked at him and asked, "Is An Guogong's identity worthy of your trust?"

"..."

The voice fell, and the audience fell silent.

Everyone, including Zhao Rui, stared at Fang Xiu with shocked eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Rui's eyes flickered, he looked at Fang Xiu, and said, "You are not An Guogong."

An Guogong is the elder of Xiaoge. He is in charge of many affairs in the world, and there are also major academies, research institutes, and shops that need to be managed. Where is the time to come to Jinzhou to manage a group of humble soldiers?

Zhao Rui knew it in his heart.

The military system is of great significance to these soldiers, and even affects their whole life.

But to other people, it is just an insignificant little thing, especially when it comes to the court. Compared with many things in this world, it is just a trivial little thing, and it can't even be regarded as the honor of the princes. talk.

How could the majestic Lord Anguo care about such things, and even went to Jinzhou Prefecture in person just to investigate the pros and cons of the military system?

This is not normal!

Fang Xiu listened, but felt a little speechless.

This is the first time his identity has been questioned.

"Why do you think so?" Fang Xiu asked.

Zhao Rui didn't know what to say for a while.

Isn't it common sense to doubt your identity?

He thought for a while and said: "You and I are at most twenty steps apart. If I want to take your life, it will only be in a flash. If it is really An Guogong, it is impossible to take such a risk."

What kind of status is An Guogong? It can be said that he has surpassed the chief minister of the cabinet. Not only does he have great influence in the court, but he is also a martial artist, and he has mastered the Shenji camp. How could such a person take risks? To meet an outlaw who doesn't give a damn?

This is totally unreasonable.

Fang Xiu listened, but smiled, and said: "You can't kill me."

Zhao Rui sneered and said, "I can kill you."

He is a second-rate warrior, and he is only one step away from entering the ranks of first-rate warriors. Not to mention in Jinzhou Prefecture, he is a first-rate existence in the entire Gyeonggi, and even the entire Chu State.

With such a short distance, not to mention that he doesn't have guards around him, even if there are guards, they can't protect him!

I really don't know who gave him the confidence that he couldn't kill him.

Zhao Rui thought so, but saw the young man in front of him showing a confident smile, followed by a voice: "You can try..."

The wind was light and calm, as if he didn't take himself seriously at all.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Rui's eyes sank.

No warrior could tolerate such a provocation. He looked at Fang Xiu and drew his sword without the slightest hesitation.

It's just that it's not his body that's being attacked, but his hair...

The standard long knife cut straight at Fang Xiu, as if it was really rushing to take his head.

Extremely fast.

The surrounding soldiers only saw a flash of cold light, and they couldn't see the speed of their swords at all!

I have to say that Zhao Rui is indeed a character.

Under such difficult conditions, he was able to practice such a superb sword technique, and with this sword technique, he was promoted to a second-rate warrior.

You must know that most of the military commanders may not even be able to achieve the level of third-rate warriors.

Of course, this is also related to the specialness of Jinzhou Prefecture.

The city guards here are relatively weak, and when the bandits are rampant, the army station plays an important role. In short, this Zhao Rui is a second-rate who honed his own martial arts in the sea of ​​blood and successfully promoted.

Therefore, his knife is decisive and bloody.

From far away, Fang Xiu could smell it.

However, at this moment, he looked at Zhao Rui with a calm expression, and calmly faced his sharp knife.

It was as if the one being attacked wasn't himself at all.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Rui narrowed his eyes slightly.

He had never seen such a person who was attacked by such a fast knife without blinking his eyes.

This person in front of him is absolutely impossible to be a dandy, any dandy can't do such a thing!

It can even be said that even experienced warriors and veterans would find it difficult to avoid such a situation.
