My years as a soldier

"Grandpa, you..."

Fan San was stunned.Li Muyun frowned slightly, but his face was full of disdain.

"No one will be nice to another person for no reason. Besides, when you kidnapped me, you didn't think about my kindness. Don't you think it's too hypocritical to be a good person now?"

Li Muyun's words made the corners of Fan San's mouth twitch, but he didn't wait for the short and thick man to hold back his words, before speaking again.

"Fan San, I don't pay attention to those appearances. I am not your patriarch here, nor are you my servant. I just want to know, what are you trying to get close to me like this? In fact, you should also know, how can ordinary people Will you go on the road alone on the first day of the new year? When you saw me, you should have already seen that I ran away from home. Even if you kidnapped me, whether my family is willing to pay the ransom for such an unfilial son? Or say two."

Having said this, Li Muyun sighed helplessly.

"So... If you want to count on my background and cling to influence, I think your plans may come to nothing."

"Master, where are you, no matter how poor you are, you are still better than ordinary people like us."

Fan San was afraid that he rarely flattered others like this, so he just said a word, and he couldn't be more deliberate.Although Li Muyun was no stranger to it, being flattered by the robbers who kidnapped him was something new.

"Do you really need something from me?"

"Yes."

Fan San saw Li Muyun's quarrel, quickly changed his posture and knelt down in front of Li Muyun, bent over and kowtowed.

"Master, I'm not afraid of people saying that I'm two-faced and three-faced. Brother Cao is my benefactor. It's true. Without him, our family would have starved to death a long time ago, and it would not be my turn to find a job in a car dealership. But there are some things Brother Cao can't help, but you can easily. I came here to beg you shamelessly. I hope you can help me because of my sincerity. If you agree, Fan San will be Master does the work of a dog and a horse!"

Although Fan San's voice was low, his momentum when he spoke was not bad at all.

Li Muyun was amazed.Is there anything Cao Yi can't help with, but he can?Li Muyun really couldn't think of it for a while.This man is a robber only for money, so could it be that he wants to compare himself with Cao Yitun and steal some money from himself?

Li Muyun hadn't figured it out yet, but saw that Fan San had raised his head from the ground, and kept his kneeling posture, and spoke to Li Muyun unhurriedly.

"Master, Brother Cao is really kind to me, but if I just follow Brother Cao like this, I will only be a chauffeur in my life, a gangster who secretly does these dirty things. And my son will always They will all be the sons of gangsters, and when they grow up, they will either follow my old path, or they will have to be a dutiful dealer. Such a day... I really can't see the end."

"Then what do you want? Didn't you say at first that I can't save you, only Cao Yi can save you? Why are you turning around and begging me now? Don't say whether I can do it, you don't feel that you are so contradictory, very Is it easy to be suspicious?"

"Yes, the master taught me the lesson, but this matter..." Fan San admitted it honestly, and did not intend to refute Li Muyun at all.

"Master, don't blame me for speaking straight. If I don't rob you, you won't listen to me at all. I, Fan San, are worse than an ant in front of you. But if I rob you, you will not only listen to me , On the contrary, there is a possibility of a one-for-one deal with me. If you ask someone to do something, you must let the other party have something to ask for yourself, so that there is a chance of success——I think you know this truth better than me."

As Fan San said, a cunning flashed in his eyes.And Li Muyun's originally sneering face suddenly turned cold.

He didn't expect that this man, who had such a simple face, would actually have such scheming.After all, it was someone who came out of Chang'an City, so they didn't give it for nothing.

Thinking of this, Li Muyun's originally bewildered heart gradually stabilized.

"Since you are also a smart person, I won't say much... What do you want from me? You have already robbed me of all my money. My life is worthless. If I kill it, I will be corrupt." If I don't kill him, I will try my best to get back what you took away. As I said before, I am familiar with the bad guys in Chang'an County. It's not just you who arrested the bad guys. Dirty gangsters."

For Li Muyun's side, he had to analyze the stakes first. If the other party's heart was shaken after hearing this, then this person would not be worth continuing to negotiate.

As soon as Li Muyun's words fell, Fan San's face was really moved.

"My lord, I don't ask for your money. I have already said this. I only ask you for one thing: Please introduce a gentleman who can teach my son to read and write. The gentleman in Chang'an City I don’t want my son to follow my old path. You are a noble person. There are so many scholars in Chang’an City. Is there anyone who doesn’t want to work for you? This is just a matter of your words, and I hope you Followed Fan San's wishes!"

After Fan San finished speaking, he solemnly bowed down to Li Muyun. Li Muyun lay there in a daze for two or three seconds, but he didn't regain his composure.

What?Ask Mr. Book?Isn't this a joke... After such a big circle, he actually only wants to hire a teacher for his son?

When Li Muyun realized this, he couldn't help but want to laugh, but after a slight smile appeared on his face, seeing the solemn look on Fan San's face, Li Muyun couldn't laugh anymore.

"Is this what you are doing?"

"Yes, that's why." Fan Sanzhong nodded.

"Do you know who I am? How can you guarantee that I can conjure up a teacher for you with just a word?"

"Don't make fun of me, sir. You are from the north of Wannian County. In Chang'an City, how many scholars want to enter the circle in the north, do you think I don't know? Find someone, as long as you reveal your identity, I don't believe he won't be tempted!"

"I don't think you're stupid if you can say that... But for such a simple matter, you risk betraying your companions to beg me now, aren't you afraid that I will turn around and lead someone to arrest you all?"

"Even if you send people to arrest us all, I'm willing! As long as our family Zhuzi and Ergou can worship Master to study and practice calligraphy, our Fan family is expected to turn around, and let me go in alone. It's worth it!"

Li Muyun couldn't help but let out a long sigh, he didn't know whether to call this person stupid or stupid.In today's world, is there a way out for studying and becoming an official?Now it looks like an untouchable in Guiyifang. As long as the children in the family are educated, they will be successful in the future, but he doesn't know that after climbing a big mountain, there will be a higher and more dangerous mountain ahead.The difficulties are endless, especially for a poor people from the bottom.

But thinking about it the other way around, why isn't that person...

Li Muyun thought of Hu Jiuzhang again.

He sighed softly, "Hey...Fan San, if I help you, what can you do for me?"

"As long as Fan San still has something you can use, just tell me!"

Fan San deliberately lowered his voice.But when he spoke, the expression on his face was extraordinarily righteous.

"Okay, Fan San, I want you to report to Chen Fan, the bad commander of Chang'an County, are you willing?"

As soon as Li Muyun said this, Fan San's expression completely changed.He probably didn't realize until this point that he was really about to betray, not only betraying Cao Yi, but also betraying everyone in their workshop.

"What? Can't make up your mind?"

Li Muyun's face was full of indifference.

"No... Grandpa... I can report it, but you have to promise me one thing."

"What, you said."

"You have to guarantee that if I am arrested, my two sons will not be implicated. The two of them will be safe and sound, and worship the master to study and practice calligraphy."

"Okay, I promise you."

Li Muyun responded aloud, but Fan San still stared at him, as if he didn't hear him, his eyes were wide open, and there was a bit of ruthlessness in them.Li Muyun's heart trembled when he saw it.Could it be that this person...has changed his mind?

"Master, this is what you said. If you can't do it, even if I, Fan San, turn into a ghost, I won't let you go."

"..."

It was the first time for Li Muyun to hear someone say this to him.These words seemed harmless at first, but this time, Li Muyun was really frightened by Fan San's malicious eyes.

This seemingly unremarkable little man really put his own life, and even the lives of all his companions, on his two sons.If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Li Muyun would never have dared to think that someone would be willing to pay such a huge price just to ensure that his son could go to school smoothly.He even never imagined that there would be any father in the world who was willing to make such a huge sacrifice for the future of his children.At least, in his Li family, there has never been one.

"I do what I say."

When he spoke again, Li Muyun became more solemn.

At first, he thought that Fan San was just a simple-looking coachman, but later he felt that this person was quite scheming and a bit clever.But now, Li Muyun only felt that this person had a kind of ruthlessness, the kind of reckless determination, never give up until the goal was achieved.

"Okay." Fan San seemed to heave a sigh of relief, but his expression was still serious, "Master, please take a rest first, and I will take care of your business as soon as possible."

After Fan San finished speaking, he let out a long breath as if relieved of a heavy burden, got up and left the house.And Li Muyun lay in that dilapidated wooden house and sighed uncontrollably.

He really didn't understand why people all over the world thought that as long as he became an official, he and even his family would have a way out?So is Fan San, so is Hu Jiuzhang...

On the third day of the first lunar month, early in the morning.The streets of Chang'an City are covered with a thin layer of snow, and the breeze blows, and the flakes that are not yet frozen, dance with the breeze, with the unique indifference and coolness of winter, drifting around Chang'an.

This morning, Chen Fan sent Hu Jiuzhang away. Originally, this was not a serious matter to Chen Fan, but after Hu Jiuzhang left, the expression on his face was unusually solemn.

Chen Fan went back indoors, and took out an old wooden box full of letters from under the small case in his room.Chen Fan took out the letter papers from the box one by one, and he read the content on each letter paper several times, but Chen Fan's expression became more and more ugly.He was probably worried not because of Hu Jiuzhang's departure, but because of this pile of letters.

Suddenly, there was a strange movement in the courtyard.Reflexively, Chen Fan stuffed the stack of letter papers into his chest.

The sound in the yard gradually became clearer, and Chen Fan could hear that it was someone's footsteps.With a cold face, he went to the knife holder and took his own horizontal knife, and walked towards the courtyard at a leisurely pace, his movements were firm and neat.The footsteps in the courtyard came from far to near, but Chen Fan didn't make a sound from the beginning to the end of this movement.He walked to the door of the room silently.

"Who is your lord? It's the holidays... come to find someone Chen, what do you want to do?"

Chen Fan stood in front of the gate with the knife in his arms. Although his words still carried the free and easy expression of the past, there was no sign of relaxation on his face.It would not be an exaggeration to say that his face was extremely gloomy.

"me……"

The short and stout Fan San tiptoed in the yard, but stumbled.He is a habitual bandit, and even avoids bad guys. This time, he directly stood in front of the bad guys in Chang'an County. He felt that this time, he had reached the pinnacle.
