In the blink of an eye, two years had passed. After two years of training and fighting against thieves, the strength of the Vanguard Army had improved greatly. Now, only Zhao Yun's 1st Battalion was left in Fan Manor, while Zhao Jie's 2nd Battalion had gone to Xuantu Prefecture.
In the first year of Guanghe (178), Emperor Ling opened an official exchange in the West Garden. He clearly marked the price and publicly sold official positions. He actually sold them to the highest official positions in the court, the three dukes. When Fan Xing heard the news that the Spirit Monarch was selling his official positions, he immediately sent people from Hidden Dragon to buy the position of Xuantu Prefecture's prefect. With the help of money, the remote position of Xuantu Prefecture Mayor was easily bought by the Hidden Dragon. The 2nd Battalion was sent by Fan Xing to help the Hidden Dragon gain a firm foothold there, along with the 10 disciples of the Fan family that Fan Xing told his father to train.
Let's put the matter of Xuantu County aside and see how Fan Xing and the others are doing. Time passed quickly. Fan Xing was taller than before. His handsome face was less childish and more mature. In the past two years, other than inspecting the Vanguard Army every day, he spent the rest of his time sparring with Zhao Yun and the others, discussing the art of war, or flirting with Zhao Yu. Zhao Yu was getting more and more beautiful as she grew up. Perhaps it was because girls in ancient times developed earlier, but Zhao Yu was getting more and more voluptuous now. She was always tempting Fan Xing.
On this day, Fan Xing said to Fan Yu and Ouyang Ying,""Father, mother, I want to go out and take a look. I'll set off tomorrow.”Fan Yu hesitated for a moment, but eventually agreed,""Alright, Xing 'er, you're 12 years old now. You've grown up. It's time for me to let go. In the future, you can make your own decisions.”Fan Xing was touched. Seeing that Fan Yu had agreed to Fan Xing's request, Ouyang Ying immediately pulled Fan Xing to the side to explain the matter of the trip.
The next day, Fan Xing brought Zhao Yun, Zhao Yu, Xu Huang, and a few servants with him. Those servants were naturally your men, Hidden Dragon.
Handan City was as lively as ever. People were buying and selling things here, having a great time. Fan Xing's group had arrived at Handan City after a journey of more than ten days. At this moment, they were resting in an inn. Suddenly, he heard an arrogant voice,""Kid, I advise you not to go against this young master anymore. Obediently hand over your sister. Perhaps this young master will be in a good mood and give you some money to use, hehe.”When Fan Xing heard this voice, he knew that it was those rich playboys who were robbing women.
Fan Xing, who had memories of his later life, was naturally disgusted by these things. His face immediately turned cold. He had read a lot of books in the past, but he had never seen it in person. After arriving in the Three Kingdoms, he had always been in the Fan manor. Now, he had actually encountered it. When Zhao Yun and the others saw Fan Xing's expression, they immediately knew that Fan Xing was angry. As expected, Fan Xing didn't say a word and walked straight out of the inn.
Li Yun was the young master of a relatively large local clan. He was usually domineering and often bullied men and women. Today, when he was strolling on the street, he saw a pretty woman and asked the servants to capture her. Who knew that a dirty girl would ruin his good deed. Li Yun was furious and ordered his men to capture the dirty girl. Who knew that the girl still had some skills and actually injured two of his men, causing Li Yun to lose face. Li Yun immediately sent a few more men to capture the girl. Just as he caught the girl, a boy younger than the girl ran out and beat his men back. Li Yun became even angrier when he saw this. He sent out all his subordinates at once. After all, they were children and had a small and weak body. Although they were still blocking, their bodies were covered in injuries. Only then did Li Yun calm down and become arrogant again.
"Bah, you scum can come if you want. Why are you talking so much nonsense?”The little boy completely ignored Li Yun's threat. There was no fear in his eyes as he fiercely glared at Li Yun. Li Yun was so frightened by the child's glare that he took a step back. He immediately felt extremely ashamed and said hatefully,"Since you want to die, I'll fulfill your wish. All of you, attack and beat them to death.”
As soon as Fan Xing walked out of the inn, he saw a group of people not far away and squeezed into the crowd. As soon as she squeezed in, she saw a young man in his twenties standing at the side. There were a few servants beside him. One could tell at a glance that he was a rich young master from his clothes. His face was slightly pale from excessive alcohol and sex. A group of servants surrounded the two siblings. The younger brother protected the older sister behind him. Although the child had good martial arts skills, he was not strong enough. He was gradually unable to hold on and could only barely hold on.
When Fan Xing saw that the people surrounded were only two teenagers, he could no longer suppress his anger. Without a word, Fan Xing rushed into the group of servants surrounding the two children. He grabbed a servant and threw him out, causing him to fall. Then, he rushed to the servant who had already grabbed the little boy and kicked the servant to the side. Zhao Yun and the others saw that Fan Xing had made a move and did not hold back. They threw the servant back to Li Yun's feet.
Li Yun was about to succeed and was thinking about how to torture the two siblings. Who knew that a boy would barge in? Li Yun didn't care at first, but who knew that after the boy came in, he knocked his subordinates to the ground in a few moves. Then, a few people ran in and took care of all his subordinates. He suddenly felt afraid. Li Yun looked at the handsome boy who was approaching him and said in a trembling voice,""You…you…what do you want? I…am…ah!" Fan Xing didn't want to listen to the rich young master's nonsense and kicked him out. Fan Xing looked at Li Yun, who he had kicked to the side, and said coldly,""Trash like you don't deserve to know my name. Get lost! Don't let me see you again. Otherwise, I'll beat you up every time I see you.”After saying that, he ignored Li Yun and walked towards the siblings.
The little boy had completely forgotten about the danger just now. His eyes were full of stars and worship. The girl was similar, but she did not show it too clearly. The little boy saw Fan Xing walking towards them and quickly ran over to say,""Brother, your martial arts are so powerful. Can you teach me?”There was a pitiful look in his eyes and a hint of cunningness that was hard to detect. If it was an ordinary person, they would definitely be moved by him. The cunning look in the little boy's eyes could not escape Fan Xing's eyes. Fan Xing wanted to beat him at his own game, so he pretended to be in a difficult position and said to the little boy,"My father told me that I can't teach my martial arts to outsiders.”The little boy lowered his head in disappointment. "But it's not like there's no way for you to learn, it's just…" The little boy immediately raised his head and looked at Fan Xing with a burning gaze."But what? As long as you're willing to teach me martial arts, I'm willing to do anything!”"Really?" Fan Xing immediately said.”" Really?" the little boy said firmly. Fan Xing saw that the little boy had fallen into his trap. He was about to ask the little boy to follow him when a sweet voice interrupted him,""Little brother, don't be rude to young master!”Fan Xing had been thinking about how to " abduct " the little boy and hadn't paid attention to his sister. When he heard his sister interrupt him, he immediately looked at her.
Zhang Ling, the little boy's elder sister, was strolling along the streets with her brother today to see if they could find a job. However, after taking a few steps, they saw a rich playboy bullying them. She couldn't stand it, so she went to help the woman get away. Who knew that she would provoke the rich playboy, causing her younger brother to sacrifice himself to protect her. Although her younger brother had learned some martial arts, they usually had a meal or two. Naturally, her younger brother didn't have much strength. As expected, Not long after, her brother was about to be beaten up. Just as she was in despair, an unusually handsome boy saved us. His handsome figure in the crowd attracted her deeply. However, after the boy saved them, he actually " kidnapped " her brother. Of course, she would not allow it, so she broke the boy's plan.
When Fan Xing looked at the little boy's sister, he was immediately attracted by her eyes. Fan Xing sighed and said,""I didn't expect you to have such beautiful eyes.”Fan Xing shifted his gaze from her eyes to her face. Although it was covered by mud, Fan Xing believed that a girl with such beautiful eyes wouldn't look too ugly. Zhang Ling was embarrassed by Fan Xing's unbridled gaze, but she still resisted the urge to lower her head and looked straight at Fan Xing. If it wasn't for the mud on her face, she would have seen that her face was already red.
Fan Xing saw the little boy's sister standing beside him and looking straight into his eyes. Although he was a little flustered, he was more determined. Fan Xing knew that she had seen through his plan to "abduct" him, but he had a flash of inspiration and said to the little boy's sister,""It's okay. Sister, what are your names? I'm Fan Xing." Seeing that Fan Xing had given up on " abducting " his younger brother, Zhang Ling was relieved and replied,""My name is Zhang Ling, and my brother is Zhang Liao.”"Oh, do you have any plans now?”Fan Xing suppressed his excitement and continued to ask when he heard the boy's name. "We want to find a job, but we can't stay here any longer."”Fan Xing looked at Zhang Liao and asked,""You're already looking for a job at such a young age? Where are your parents?" When Zhang Ling heard Fan Xing ask about their parents, her eyes darkened.""Our parents died when I was still very young. We were raised by our uncle, but our uncle also passed away two years ago. Now, only my brother and I are left.”Zhang Liao's expression also became sorrowful, and he remained silent at the side. Fan Xing immediately turned to Zhang Liao and said,""Brother Liao, why don't you come to my place? I'll give you wages and a place to live. I'll also teach you martial arts, okay?”Zhang Liao was thinking about his own tragic experience when he suddenly heard Fan Xing say that he would ask them to go to Fan Xing's place and give them a place to live and teach him martial arts. He immediately said happily,"Alright!"
Zhang Ling and Fan Xing were talking when they saw Fan Xing suddenly turn his head to her brother and ask them to go to his place. She immediately knew that something was wrong. She was about to call Zhang Liao, but Zhang Liao had already agreed happily. She had no choice but to glare at Fan Xing fiercely to express her dissatisfaction. Seeing Zhang Liao fall into his trap, Fan Xing was overjoyed. Suddenly, he saw Zhang Ling glaring at him fiercely, and a trace of cunning flashed across her eyes. Fan Xing walked in front of Zhang Ling, held her hand and said,"You two siblings have been running around outside previously. It must have been very hard on you, but it's all over now. I'll definitely take good care of you.”Fan Xing said as he pulled Zhang Ling's hand and massaged it. After saying that, he did not give Zhang Ling a chance to speak and pulled Zhang Ling towards the inn. When everyone saw Fan Xing walking back to the inn, they immediately followed. Zhao Yu looked at Fan Xing angrily.
There was a middle-aged scholarly man sitting near the door of the inn. He had been watching Fan Xing since he left to teach Li Yun a lesson. He would occasionally smile. Seeing that Fan Xing was about to return to the inn, he immediately called the waiter to whisper something to him. However, the waiter immediately shook his head in panic. However, the scholarly man didn't say anything. He took out a tael of silver from his pocket. The waiter immediately revealed a greedy expression and snatched the tael from the scholarly man's hand before walking towards Fan Xing and the others.
Fan Xing took Zhang Ling's hand and returned to the inn. He immediately asked someone to arrange two more guest rooms. Just as he was about to bring Zhang Ling and her brother upstairs, a waiter walked over and said to him in a trembling voice,"Young Master, I'm sorry to disturb you. There's a gentleman over there who wants to invite you over.”After saying that, he pointed at the elegant man's seat. Fan Xing heard the waiter's words and stopped. He followed the waiter's finger and saw a scholarly man smiling at him.
The scholarly man did not look outstanding, but his bright eyes were filled with wisdom and his entire body exuded a natural and unrestrained temperament. Fan Xing felt that this person was not simple, so he ordered the servants to bring Zhang Ling and her brother upstairs to wash up first, and then he walked to the side of the scholarly man.
Seeing Fan Xing sit down, the elegant man didn't greet him and just drank his wine. Fan Xing wasn't angry because the scholarly man ignored him. Seeing the scholarly man drinking, he thought to himself,""Ever since I came to the Three Kingdoms, I haven't had a drink for a long time. Now that it's just him and me, why don't we take this opportunity to have a taste?”He did as he thought. Fan Xing didn't even greet the scholarly man. He poured himself a cup of wine, put it in front of his nose, smelled it, and drank it all in one gulp. The elegant man was surprised to see Fan Xing not angry at his indifference, but drinking on his own and enjoying himself.
Finally, the scholarly man asked,""Little brother, how should I address you?”"Fan Xing, how should I address you?”Fan Xing asked. "I'm Huang Chengyan."”When Fan Xing heard the answer, he was stunned. He knew that the elegant man opposite him was not simple, but he did not expect it to be Huang Chengyan. He immediately said respectfully to Huang Chengyan,"So it's Grand Scholar Huang. I've heard a lot about you.”Huang Chengyan smiled meaningfully and said,""I'm just a villager, but you're not simple, little brother.”Fan Xing's heart skipped a beat when he heard Huang Chengyan suddenly say that he was not simple. Fan Xing thought to himself, What does he know?”But then he thought,"That's impossible. Outsiders can't know that I'm training an army privately."”Thinking of this, Fan Xing's expression did not change.""I'm just a kid, how could I not be simple? Could there be some misunderstanding, Mister Huang?”
Huang Chengyan saw that Fan Xing did not panic despite his deliberate probing. He praised him in his heart, so he looked straight at Fan Xing and continued,"Little brother, you have great ambitions, so of course you're not simple.”When Fan Xing heard this, he knew that Huang Chengyan already knew about him. A trace of killing intent appeared in his eyes, but his expression remained unchanged."A real man in this world naturally has to use his abilities to serve the imperial court. Don't you think so, Mr. Randao?”Huang Chengyan praised Fan Xing's performance. He was able to hide his emotions at such a young age. His future was definitely limitless. However, Fan Xing was still a little young. Although his expression did not change, his aura still revealed some clues. Huang Chengyan smiled and said,"Nephew, you don't have to be so nervous. I'm your father's best friend, so I know about you.”Hearing this, Fan Xing's killing intent disappeared without a trace. He said happily,""So Mister is Father's good friend. Then I'll be bold enough to call Mister Uncle.”"Of course you can." Huang Chengyan smiled.”After revealing his identity, Fan Xing felt extremely relaxed, so he chatted with Huang Chengyan while drinking.
