One night passed, Chen Kan followed the Fang brothers to guard Zheng's soul all night, and the next day he felt a little dizzy.
It took six days and six nights to rush back to the capital from Tanzhou, a distance of 1,600 miles, and an average of more than 200 miles and nearly 300 miles every day.
I don't feel anything wrong when I'm on the road, but the horsepower is a bit behind.
But as soon as he reached the place, the fatigue like a tide flooded him along the river.
The vigil remained awake all night again, and at dawn, Chen Kan couldn't hold on any longer.
Shaking his head vigorously, Chen Kan tried his best to wake up, but human physiological functions cannot be resisted by willpower.
Fang Zhongxian had just added wax to the oil lamp under the coffin. When he turned around and saw that Chen Kan was not in the right state, he hurriedly said: "Yuansheng, go get some sleep first. It's daybreak. Mother, I and Zhong Yu can just stay here." "
"fine!"
Chen Kan responded, and Fang Zhongxian suddenly frowned and said: "How can it be okay? You rushed back from Tanzhou and you must have not rested all the way. You have been guarding for another night. Even a tough man can't stand it. Obedient, you go to sleep." Later, I’ll call you when someone comes at noon.”
Chen Kan wanted to shake his head and refuse, but Fang Zhongxian didn't give him a chance to refuse, and said directly: "Zhong Yu, take Yuan Sheng to get some sleep."
Fang Zhongyu, who was dozing off, was woken up by his elder brother. He forced his bloodshot eyes to look at Chen Kan, only to realize that Chen Kan was already on the verge of collapse.
Fang Zhongyu suddenly woke up when he thought that Chen Kan had rushed back from Tanzhou and stayed with them all night.
People who don't sleep for a long time can easily die from overwork.
It had been a long time since her mother passed away, and they had taken turns to keep vigil, so it was okay now. But if Chen Kan continued to stay in this state, there would definitely be a big problem.
So Fang Zhongyue couldn't help but pick up Chen Kan and drag him outside.
Soon, Chen Kan was dragged into his previous room.
"Yuan Sheng, you go to sleep for a while. If anything happens at noon, I will call you."
Fang Zhongyu threw Chen Kan on the bed. Chen Kan nodded and did not refuse.
He really needed a good night's sleep right now.
Anyone who has been running around day and night for so long will not be able to stay energetic even if he watches the night spirits for one more time.
Fang Zhongyu exited the room and closed the door. Chen Kan closed his eyes and fell asleep immediately.
He didn't know how long he had slept, but Chen Kan was suddenly woken up by a burst of noise coming from outside the door.
"Why, my lord has come to express his condolences. Is this the way Fang Mansion treats guests?"
"You guys are going too far!"
"This is the residence of the Minister of Civil Affairs, how can we allow you to be so presumptuous!"
"Where does this country bumpkin dare to bark in front of my lord?"
Listening to the noise coming from outside the door, Chen Kan couldn't help but feel angry.
Apparently, someone was causing trouble outside the door.
Chen Kan was already in a bad mood because of Zheng's death, but suddenly he heard that there were people outside the door who dared to make trouble, and his mood suddenly became unbearable.
Chen Kan suddenly rolled out of bed, quickly opened the door and walked towards the direction of the noise.
He wanted to see who was so impatient that he dared to cause trouble at the funeral of a minister or a marquis.
Soon, two distinct groups of people came into Chen Kan's sight.
Standing on this side of the mourning hall was a group of relatives and friends of the Fang family headed by the Fang brothers, and the people opposite seemed to be Chen Kan's old acquaintances.
It was Xu Jinchang who was named Marquis of Wuyang after Zhu Di ascended the throne out of guilt for his uncle.
Of course, now his title has changed again, from Marquis of Wuyang to Duke of Dingguo.
Speaking of which, Chen Kan and Xu Jingchang have had a grudge for more than a day or two. It can be traced back to when he established the Five Cities Army and Horses Division. He killed one of his subordinates named Cao Li, and by the way, he killed one of his subordinates named Yao. The relaxed Ma Zai dug over.
Now Yao Chi is already a hot shot in the Wucheng Bingma Division.
As for the subsequent disputes in the brothel, he even hired thugs to sap Chen Kan, and he worked with those losers Yuan Rong and Li Rang to scheme against Chen Kan. There were countless petty grudges.
Before Chen Kan could get close, he heard Xu Jingchang say sadly: "Shang Shu of the Ministry of Personnel, you have such great official power. Why, I have done something wrong by coming here to express my condolences?"
"You just want to express your condolences. Why did you open the incense table in our residence that is used to enshrine the deceased?"
Fang Zhongxian's sad and angry voice sounded, and hearing the whole story immediately made Chen Kan furious.
He thought it was an ordinary dispute, but he didn't expect that Xu Jingchang would even turn over the incense table of the dead person.
Hearing Fang Zhongxian's question, Xu Jingchang couldn't help but sneered: "The incense table in your Fang Mansion is as bad as the hospitality in your Fang Mansion. I kindly gave the man in the coffin some paper money to burn, but she actually controlled the fire and burned me." His hair also burned my fingers. If it weren’t for Fang Xiaoru’s sake, I would have lifted the coffin boards.”
Hearing Xu Jingchang's bastard words, Chen Kan's anger burst out instantly.
Chen Kan looked around and caught a glimpse of the logs in the yard that were being made into coffin shelves. Without thinking, he picked up an iron log as thick as an arm and rushed out of the crowd.
"Xu Jingchang, die!"
Chen Kan shouted loudly, awakening the two parties in the confrontation.
Xu Jingchang was showing his hands to the Fang brothers with a sullen face when he suddenly heard a familiar voice and couldn't help but turn his head subconsciously.
The next second, the whole person couldn't help but feel the spirit of death. The wooden stick as thick as an arm was still the iron wood used to make the coffin frame. If this stick hit his head, it would probably bloom and sprout. .....
"Chen Kan, how dare you!"
Xu Jingchang was a fool. How could he avoid the sneak attack of Chen Kan, who had experienced many battles? He only had time to shout loudly before closing his eyes in fear.
Xu Jingchang's heart was instantly filled with fear as he heard the whistling wind in his ears.
"My life is at an end..."
"Dang~"
The sound of the handover of gold and iron penetrated the eardrums, and the expected scene of blooming in the head has not yet come. Xu Jingchang couldn't help but open his eyes with a look of horror.
But it was a follower beside him who drew his sword to block Chen Kan's fatal blow.
In danger of contact, Xu Jingchang immediately rolled back a few steps and hid behind an attendant in a flying fish uniform. He asked tremblingly: "Chen...Chen Kan, you...are you going to Yunnan?" Yet?"
Chen Kan ignored Xu Jingchang, but looked at the captain in golden clothes who blocked him with a fierce look, and asked: "Who are you?"
Hearing Chen Kan's question, the Jinyi Colonel sheathed his sword with a bitter look on his face, clasped his fists towards Chen Kan and said, "My subordinate Lu Quan, the flag officer of Fusi in the North Town of Jinyi Guards, has met the Marquis!"
"Okay, very good. I will go to Japan to find Ji Gang to settle the matter. Now, get out of here!"
Hearing Chen Kan's threat, the bitterness on Lu Quan's face became even stronger.
He bit the bullet and cupped his hands towards Chen Kan and said: "Master Hou, I am afraid that my subordinates cannot obey orders. Duke Ding is now the commander of the Fu Division of Jinyiwei North Town. Without Duke Ding's order, my subordinates dare not retreat." .”
Chen Kan took a deep breath, nodded and said, "Okay, if you dare, I will remember you."
After saying that, Chen Kan turned his head and looked at Xu Jingchang, and said in a deep voice: "Xu Jingchang, I am too lazy to settle the grudges between you and me in the past, but if you don't give me an explanation for what happened today, you will Don’t even think about walking out of this door.”
As soon as he said this, Xu Jingchang jumped to his feet and said: "Bullshit, this is the grudge between me and Fang Xiaoru. It's none of your business. Also, you are too lazy to settle the grudges in the past with me. Tell me, how much did you fucking bully me?" How many times, ah? You can catch me even if I go to a brothel, but you are a bitch, and you still want to kill me today!"
While Xu Jingchang scolded Chen Kan, he did not forget to tell Chen Quan: "Chen Quan, stop him. If I hurt a hair today, I will not let you go!"
Chen Kan's forehead veins appeared, and he suddenly shouted: "Xie Zhong, where are all the people?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of soldiers rushed in from outside the door and surrounded Xu Jingchang and a group of Jinyi captains.
Xie Zhong trotted up to Chen Kan, cupped his hands with a guilty look on his face and said, "Master Marquis, please forgive me. Duke Ding said he came to express condolences, so he was let in."
"Take it!"
Chen Kan didn't talk nonsense and gave the order directly.
Then he turned to look at the Fang brothers who looked sad and angry and asked: "Eldest brother and second brother, where is the teacher?"
Fang Zhongxian whispered: "Your Majesty has summoned me, and my father has gone to the palace."
Fang Zhong said more and more bitterly: "If my father were here, how could I make this person so arrogant?"
Chen Kan couldn't help but frowned when he heard that Fang Xiaoru was called to the palace by Zhu Di again.
At this point, what did Zhu Di ask Fang Xiaoru to do? Moreover, Fang Xiaoru was not in the palace when he went to the palace, so Xu Jingchang brought people to make trouble. It was too coincidental.
Why don't you come earlier, why don't you come later, why do you have to come at this time?
Chen Kan instinctively felt something was wrong, but the current situation was such that he couldn't help but think about it.
Because in the courtyard, the personal guards led by Xie Zhong had already fought with Fan Zi under Xu Jingchang's command.
"Chen Quan, stop them and beat him."
"And you, come on."
"waste!"
Xu Jingchang's angry voice sounded, and the Jinyi captains under his command all had bitter looks on their faces.
There were only about ten of them in total. How could they be opponents against Chen Kan's more than thirty personal guards, not to mention that all of Chen Kan's personal guards were experienced in many battles.
No matter how outstanding their individual martial arts are, it is of no use.
Many Jin Yiwei couldn't help but curse Xu Jingchang as a idiot, but they couldn't just let him be humiliated under Chen Kan.
They could only protect Xu Jingchang while retreating while fighting.
But Xu Jingchang was unwilling to be scared away by Chen Kan, and always ordered them to counterattack.
As a result, the army was defeated like a mountain.
Not long after, one after another, the captains in Jinyi lay on the ground and started wailing.
Gradually, Xu Jingchang also discovered something was wrong. It seemed that these Jin Yiwei, who usually dominated the capital without a single defeat, were not Chen Kan's opponents.
Seeing more and more people falling down, Xu Jingchang became anxious.
He hurriedly turned his attention to Chen Kan, who had an indifferent face, and shouted angrily: "Chen Kan, Fang Xiaoru and I have a grudge against killing our father. This matter has nothing to do with you. Tell your people to stop quickly, otherwise, otherwise... don't blame me. I will give you a copy before His Majesty."
