My years as a soldier

There is little rain in Chang'an City in autumn, and as the green branches gradually turn yellow, the cold wind from the northwest also arrives as expected.It was on such a cold windy morning that Chen Fan received a message from Prince Su's mansion.

The person who came here to deliver the message was a boy dressed in a gray cloth bunt. Although the clothes were simple, he wore the glittering golden badge of King Su's Mansion on his waist.Chen Fan's brothers saw this man looking around in the official office early in the morning, and wanted to go up to question him, but when they saw the bronze medal on the boy's waist, they gave up in resentment.

When Chen Fan saw this young man, he was not very surprised.The first time he saw this boy, Zhang Si was the only reaction in his mind.After all, there is no impenetrable wall in Chang'an City, and even his bad man's office may hide a secret post to communicate with people in private, so Chen Fan never thought about it, there is something that can be kept absolutely secret.

That day, he took Hu Jiuzhang to drink at the restaurant in Xishi for a whole afternoon, just to make Hu Jiuzhang recognize the situation and calm things down.But whether Hu Jiuzhang would follow his advice, Chen Fan was not sure.He also fought in Longyou, and he knew how difficult it would be to stop a Tang soldier.

"You are Chen Fan?"

The servants in the palace are not tall, but they are very airy. Chen Fan is an official after all, and he is different from ordinary people, but when he sees the people in Suwang's palace, he can only nod with a smile on his face.

"Chen can't remember when he had dealt with the emperor's heirs and nobles. Could it be that there was a life lawsuit in Su Wang's mansion, and Chen was asked to lead a team to handle the case?"

"You..." The boy frowned when he heard Chen Fan's joke, but compared to bickering with others, sending messages was his main job this time.He waved his hand towards Chen Fan, and it wasn't until Chen Fan and him walked to an unoccupied corner of the official office that the boy lowered his voice, and whispered in Chen Fan's ear.

"Listen well, our elder son invited you to Leyouyuan to have a talk at noon today, so don't be too late."

When Chen Fan heard this, he showed a little surprised expression.He originally thought that this person would be sent by Zhang Si to beat him, but he didn't expect that the other party would actually report the name of King Su's son——

King Su's eldest son is also well-known in the noble circle of Chang'an City.Chen Fan knew that this person was named Li Muyun, and because of Zhang Junmei's beauty, he was highly sought after by the upper circles in Chang'an City.It is said that many daughters of high official families in the city have had feelings for him, but this Mr. Li is not human, and he is already in his early twenties, and he still hasn't made any marriage arrangements.Moreover, he is different from those rich young people in Chang'an City, and there are very few gossip news. On weekdays, he rarely even goes to Yuntai Washing House.

Therefore, Chen Fan, the "intelligence leader" who roams the streets and alleys, really doesn't know much about this extremely low-key son of King Su.He only knew that King Su was a very seasoned politician. Not only had he survived the growing suspicion of his emperor's father, but he had also been a senior official in the border for more than ten years, which showed that this person had a deep foundation.

The master is deep, and the slaves below are not easy to mess with.Chen Fan was originally disobedient, and he was even more ruthless in handling the case. He and Zhang Si confronted each other over the case several times, but in the end they were all suppressed by this old slicker.It is impossible to say that Chen Fan does not hate him, but Zhang Si has King Su behind him, but Chen Fan has nothing behind him.

Now that Prince Su's son suddenly invited him to see him mysteriously, Chen Fan couldn't help but think a little more.

"The son of King Su? Dare to ask why?"

"You'll know then."

"Hehe, I have never met the young master of the family, so why are we suddenly summoned?"

The boy was always cautious, but Chen Fan didn't take it seriously. He still had a smile on his face at this moment, and he didn't deliberately lower his volume.

"Hey - keep your voice down." The servant of the palace quickly waved his hand at Chen Fan, "It's natural that our son asked you to do something."

"The question is to ask what you are doing. Chen has never had anything to do with Su Wang's mansion, and he has never heard of any criminals committing crimes in Su Wang's mansion. Mr. Li called people here suddenly, for no reason, it really can't help but make people suspicious."

"What is your son looking for? How do I know if I'm a messenger?" Seeing Chen Fan clung to him, the boy was a little annoyed, "I only know that my son brought someone back from outside a few days ago. Why did you ask Chen Shuai to ask questions, you will know when you go to Leyouyuan at five o'clock."

"Bring someone back? Who?"

Chen Fan went through all the people he had been in contact with in the past few days in his mind. He couldn't help but think of Hu Jiuzhang, but it was still a bit far-fetched for him to connect Hu Jiuzhang and Li Muyun.

"Hey, it's just a soldier who I don't know where I picked it up. The man whose leg was called the government gave a discount. The prince insisted on bringing that man back for treatment, and even took him to live in his own house. Hehe, I don't know the prince. What kind of muscle is wrong in the master's mind, it will be a joke if this kind of thing spreads."

The boy's face was full of sarcasm, but Chen Fan's expression changed.Bing... Could it really be Hu Jiuzhang?

He dismissed the servant with a few short words, and then hurried out.

Chen Fan is a bad guy in Chang'an County, and bad people's bureaus are all over the streets and alleys, and as long as he wants to investigate, there is nothing that can escape his eyes.And according to what the boy said, the so-called government office can only be one of the two counties in Chang'an.

When Chen Fan left the government office, he headed straight for Changshoufang where the Chang'an county government office was located. He felt that in just a few days, there would not be so many soldiers who had their legs broken in the government office that he needed to go there one by one. Distinguish carefully.

Sure enough, when Chen Fan went to the bad person office in Changshoufang and asked, he knew the whole story.

"Do you think this person is stubborn? He just wants to compete with the people of Su Wang's mansion in the hall, how can it be good? Su Wang's mansion does not lack for Chang'an County during the New Year and holidays. There is no need to advance this matter." Tell me, the county magistrate of Peng knows what to do."

The delinquent dressed in black stood in front of Chen Fan, chewing a piece of mint leaf in his mouth, looking very leisurely.But Chen Fan's brows were already knotted several times.

"Who is in Su Wang's mansion?"

"Who else is there, Zhang Sibei."

Chen Fan's face couldn't help but turn a little cold.Zhang Si, indeed Zhang Si.

"Then what's the name of the soldier who reported to the officer?"

"Ah... that person seems to be surnamed Hu, and he's a soldier from Longyou! It's not worth it for such a waste of time—"

Hearing this, Chen Fan finally let out a sigh of relief.He co-authored with Hu Jiuzhang all afternoon, but not only did the man not listen to his persuasion, he even found Zhang Si and went to Chang'an County to report to the official—how could there be such a ignorant person in the world!

Chen Fanchang sighed, and the urgency on his face turned into depression.

In the final analysis, the reason why Hu Jiuzhang was able to find Zhang Si was because of his outspoken words that afternoon.Chen Fan has been out of the army for many years, but his life in Beiting was actually the happiest in his life, so much so that even if he only saw soldiers on the street, he felt close to him, let alone someone from his own family background. Same veteran.

Chen Fan wanted to help Hu Jiuzhang from the bottom of his heart, but now that Hu Jiuzhang was rescued by King Su's son, and the son wanted to find his own to question, what happened in the middle, Chen Fan couldn't help it. And know.

At noon, the sun was shining brightly on Leyouyuan, and the autumn wind was brisk.

This is the highest point of the entire Chang'an city. When you climb on it, the terrain is high and spacious.

Chen Fan arrived on foot.This day is not a holiday, and there were not many tourists in Leyou, but Chen Fan also changed out of his bad-looking black clothes early, and only wore an ordinary round-neck gown, with a cloth handkerchief on his hand, all of them were tourists dress up.

As soon as he got up to the original top, he saw a carriage covered with brocade silk curtains on the climbing path where the shadows of the trees were dancing. Standing in front of the carriage was the young servant who had gone to the government office to look for him earlier in the morning.

Chen Fan took three steps at a time and walked up to him. Apparently, the boy had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Chen Fan, he turned his head and reported to the people in the car. A "please" gesture.

"Young Master, invite Chen Shuai to come into the car and have a talk."

The young man looked like a dog in front of his master, he had long since lost his arrogance when he was delivering a message, Chen Fan chuckled lightly, without thinking too much, he opened the curtain with his hand, and saw sitting in the car of white men.

Li Muyun was still wearing a white robe, but at this moment, the robe on his body was no longer cloud patterns and dark flowers, but cloud and thunder overlapping.After all, they were all extremely exquisitely crafted satin clothes, lining him up, only making his delicate face, which seemed to be outlined with a fine brush, more elegant.

"I'm next to Chen Fan."

After paying respects to the handsome young man in front of him, Chen Fan got into the car and sat down on the soft seat beside him.The space in the car was narrow, and the distance between the two of them was shortened instantly. Li Muyun still exuded a faint fragrance of wormwood, and even Chen Fan couldn't help but look at his face a few more times.

"You are... Mr. Li?"

"Li Muyun." Li Muyun directly reported his name.Although his voice was soft, there was a chill in his tone.

"Cough... May I ask why Mr. Li is here?" Chen Fan didn't take his attitude seriously.He's seen a lot of airy young masters in Chang'an City, they're just cold-faced, nothing surprising.In short, the two of them have no intersection, as long as they don't offend this Buddha, that's fine.

"I called you here to ask you something." Li Muyun said indifferently, he only looked at Chen Fan after he lifted the curtain, and never looked at this person again.

"Do you know... Hu Jiuzhang?"

Li Muyun asked suddenly, Chen Fan was taken aback for a moment, but quickly nodded.Su Wang's son saved Hu Jiuzhang, and Zhang Si is his father's man, Zhang Si will definitely not tell the truth to Li Muyun, and as for Li Muyun to Hu Jiuzhang... Chen Fan thinks that no matter how big a person is, he will not hate him Someone who saved it himself?

"know."

Chen Fan agreed so quickly, which surprised Li Muyun.

"What do you know about him? Tell me."

"That kid came to Chang'an to look for his younger brother." Chen Fan said casually, seemingly casually, but he had actually been observing Li Muyun's reaction, "His younger brother disappeared in Chang'an City half a month ago, and his whereabouts are still unknown. I saw him at the time. The military uniform on his body looked familiar, so I invited him to West Market for a drink."

"You haven't seen him since?"

"No. I only had a drink with him, and I haven't seen him since."

The space in the carriage was so small that Chen Fan had to lower his voice accordingly.

"You are a bad commander in Chang'an County, and there are people missing in your jurisdiction. You don't know about it at all, do you?"

When Li Muyun asked this question, Chen Fan suddenly smiled.

I was going to ask this...

"Mr. Li, I can only tell you this. Hu Yan, Hu Jiuzhang's younger brother, had a conflict with people in the West Market half a month ago, and used a wooden stick to hurt people during the process. But on the second day, Hu Yan behaved strangely. Missing, this matter... I brought people to do it at the time."

Chen Fan spoke eloquently, his gaze was more determined on Li Muyun's face, and he did not waver for a moment, and in the eyes of this handsome son, a little bit of emotion obviously flashed along with it.

"Since you handled the case, you should know what happened that day, right?"

"I know." Chen Fan waited for this sentence.

Although King Su's son is also Zhang Si's master, but judging from his cautious appearance when he sent someone to pass on the message and met him, Chen Fan knew that this young master was avoiding Zhang Si's eyes and ears on the street, and since he wanted to avoid it, this The master and Zhang Si are obviously not at the same end.

"Mr. Li, I won't hide it from you. The person who clashed with Hu Yan in the West Market that day was Zhang Si from your residence."
