Luofan felt that Zhang Feiling's decision to go to Baishishan tomorrow was very stupid, but he didn't show it on his face.
He asked calmly: "Yu Wen, who came up with the idea of having a public discussion on the commander-in-chief at Tianwu Tai?"
Zhang Feiling heard the dissatisfaction beyond Luofan's words and explained ignorantly: "It was proposed by Cen Huang and the other four, but I think this proposal is very reasonable. Every time my father summons the major commanders, it is always at Tianwutai. Moreover, the camps of Kamikaze, Anjue and Yushao are located near Tianwutai, and they must be some of our most trustworthy commanders among the civilian army."
After hearing this, Luofan asked with a smile: "Oh, why do you think Cen Huang and the other four are worthy of our trust? Also, why do you have to negotiate on their territory if you can trust them?"
Zhang Feiling was even more puzzled: "They have a feud with Feng for hundreds of years, and they were also my father's confidants in the past. In the past few days, it is obvious that they support me as the commander-in-chief of the civilian army. Besides, Cen Huang loves me. He probably won’t do anything to me.”
Luo Fan said earnestly: "Yu Wen! You have to remember that people and things you believe in will cause you to fall into trouble. It's true that Cen Huang likes you, but he just likes your body. If you can get what he wants, Yes, he will do it without hesitation. It is indeed known to everyone that they have been feuding with each other for hundreds of years. But what everyone knows may not be true. On the surface, they all support you as the commander-in-chief of the civilian army. , how do you know that they are not trying to trick you into going to Eighty Mountains and then murder you?"
Zhang Feiling said in surprise: "No way? It doesn't look like they are acting?"
Luo Fan shook his head and said: "Your father can't see through people's hearts, let alone you. And there are no absolutes in this world. Often people only need to make one wrong step, and they will be doomed. From now on, no matter what others promise you, you will always have to do it. Take the initiative in your own hands. For example, if you choose the foot of the Eighty Mountains for the negotiation location, it will not be convenient for me to arrange helpers to protect you. Even if the negotiation fails, we will have a retreat. But if you arrange the negotiation at the mountain, nothing will happen. Once the talks broke down, several armies started fighting. Where can you and I run if we are alone?"
Zhang Feiling turned pale and said, "I didn't think about it. Now I have agreed. If I don't go, will I miss this good opportunity?"
Luofan continued to teach: "If they really want to help you become the commander-in-chief, then your chance will always be there. If they don't really want you to be the commander-in-chief, then if you go tomorrow, you will be dead. Now, You are going to be the commander-in-chief of an army, and you have to make your own judgments and choices about things. Even if there is really no chance, you have to create opportunities. For example, it’s not that you didn’t have the opportunity to be the commander-in-chief, but now you also have to be the commander-in-chief. The handsome man is the favorite.”
Zhang Feiling seemed to understand a little better and asked: "So, we can't go tomorrow?"
Luo Fan stood up and sneered with an evil face: "Of course you go! What I, Luo Fan, are not afraid of the most is danger. If a commander opposes you, I will kill one, and if ten leaders oppose you, I will kill ten. You are tired too, eat something first. Things, rest peacefully. Leave everything to me. Let’s set off on time tomorrow morning.”
Seeing Luo Fan leave, Zhang Feiling said to herself: "Luo Fan, you are such a powerful person. I have to work hard too. As the only descendant of the Zhang family, I must revive the reputation of the Zhang family. Let those who once laughed at me, the Zhang family, People pay the price!"
When Luofan returned to the east courtyard, a group of secret guards were waiting for orders. Luo Fan gathered everyone together, opened the topographic map of the Eighty Mountains, and explained the plan he had thought of in detail. After everyone heard this, they had a heated discussion. After finalizing all the details, they left the Zhang family to prepare.
The next day, it was dawn. Dozens of black civilian soldiers from the "Dark Jue Division" of the civilian army rushed to Zhang's house on horseback to welcome Zhang Feiling to the Eighty Mountains.
In order to facilitate movement, Zhang Feiling wore a smart white clothes today, with a simple ponytail, dressed like a white-faced boy. Luofan was still dressed in black and carrying a knife, with protection behind him.
Arriving outside the mansion, he was about to mount his horse. Zhang Feiling saw that Luofan didn't bring any bodyguards with him, so he asked, "Sister-in-law, where are your bodyguards? You didn't say it was dangerous to go here, so why didn't you bring any bodyguards with you?"
Luofan smiled mysteriously: "It's just because of the danger that I don't bring them with me. That's the territory of the civilian army, and the civilian army is best at mountain warfare. It may not be useful if I bring a thousand people there. In this case, why not protect you by myself. If you encounter It’s dangerous, but I have a way to take you away.”
Although he didn't know why Luofan was like this, Zhang Feiling also trusted him. With a shy face, he said shyly: "As long as my step-brother is by my side, I will feel at ease."
They all got on their horses and galloped away to the Eighty Mountains.
Dragon City was only forty or fifty miles away from the Eighty Mountains, and we arrived on horseback in half an hour.
Far-sighted, the mountains lie quietly. The trees are tall, the forest is dense, the springs are full of rocks, and it’s really a beautiful scene. Zhang Feiling sighed inwardly. This is the place that her Zhang family has protected for generations, and it was also the pride of her father. But now it is difficult for her to get close to this familiar mountain forest. When the boys of the civilian army saw that mountain peak, they all felt heroic and confident.
Luofan didn't have many ideas, and this was just a corner of his grand plan for hegemony. The so-called Eighty Mountains is actually a mountain range thirty miles long from north to south. In ancient times, some people who had nothing to do counted a total of eighty hills here, so they named it Eighty Mountains.
Eighty Mountains was originally the land of the Zhang family. Five hundred years ago, Zhang Santong, the ancestor of the Zhang family, took in the victims and established the civilian army. Later, in order to accommodate the families of the civilian soldiers, a southern city was opened in the Eighty Mountains. Today, Nancheng has a permanent population of four to five million people.
Arriving at the mountain pass, there is a wide herringbone gorge. Written high on the stone wall is: "Outsiders Stop". The four red letters as big as "people" are very eye-catching.
They all dismounted in front of the scarlet letter. The little leader of the team stepped forward and shouted the command: "We are here today!"
Hearing this shout, Luo Fan felt unhappy. Why do you call "Today's guest is here"? Zhang Feiling is here to be the coach of the civilian army, so it should be called "Today's guest is here"! Just listening to this command, Luo Fan also knew that this trip would be difficult.
And the leader shouted loudly, and a disciple poked out from the green needles of the pine trees in the distance. I saw him holding up a black "dark" flag to let people pass.
Zhang Feiling looked back at Luofan and explained: "The entrance to the Eighty Mountains is guarded by Hu Eryou of the Anjue Department. The Anjue Department used to be his father's confidant troops. They were mainly responsible for monitoring and executing traitors in the civilian army. Their ability was to use hidden weapons. , mainly using poison."
Luo Fan smiled and said: "Oh. I think that an army should have strict military laws and enforce them without favoritism. Setting up such a secretive commander is not a clever move. It seems that there is always a knife behind your back, staring at you, no It helps everyone unite. Obedience that makes people fearful is not true obedience."
Zhang Feiling sighed: "My sworn brother is right. Although my father is magnanimous, he is too tolerant, even to the point of indulging his subordinates. He has never used methods such as assassination. Otherwise, he would not be among the top ten commanders. No one is afraid of him. Aren't they?"
Luo Fan nodded: "You are right. Your father is too kind. To deal with different people, you should have different methods. Sometimes to deal with these villains, you can only make them fearful."
The group walked along the road for half a mile. Along the way, there were disciples of the Anjue Department hidden everywhere in the bushes and behind rocks. Hu Eryou, the leader of the secret battle, was waiting on the road ahead with more than a dozen of his deputy commanders.
The little old man Hu Eryou still had a shrewd look on his face, standing with his head bent and his hands behind his back. Seeing the two of them coming, I glanced at them from a distance. He was also confused as to why the other party didn't bring any guards. Is it really so bold?
When the two came, Hu Eryou also greeted with a smile: "Yuwen is here. Today is your happy day. When you become the commander-in-chief of the civilian army, don't forget to take care of my uncle."
Zhang Feiling hurriedly saluted and said with a slight smile: "Uncle, you're kidding me. Only the elders can take care of me, how can Yuwen dare to take care of me? No matter what happens in the future, the civilian army will have to trouble the elders, so Yuwen can just wait and see."
After exchanging a few words of greeting, Hu Eryou and the others led the two of them forward.
After walking for more than a mile, they saw Zhang Cong, the commander of the divine wind, waiting with his people by the roadside. Zhang Cong wears yellow leather armor and carries a cold sword on his back. He always has a dark face and a serious and cold expression. He doesn't talk much either. He just said: "Here we come." Then he followed him and continued walking towards Tianwu Platform.
The Kamikaze Division is also Zhang Ruoxu's confidant, and it is the most courageous one among the ten. Along the way, I saw that all the Kamikaze disciples were wearing yellow cloth armor, holding long awls, and they were as brave as tigers and leopards! They are especially good at leg skills. They can leap several feet in one leap and run on mountain walls like flying. Luo Fan looked at it for a few times and was slightly impressed. The civilian army has been able to survive for five hundred years, which is why it has some confidence. With these elites, it is not difficult to compare one to ten.
