Early the next morning, Chang Fan and Xiang Tao came to Xiang Xin's study.
" You're here. Have a seat," Xiang Xin said weakly.
"Father, what happened? Is it true that the Tiger Gate was broken?”Chang Fan and the others had heard some rumors when they were outside, but they didn't fully believe it.
"That's right. Four days ago, Guanglu doctor Tian Dan surrendered to Li Sheming and tricked him into opening the gates of Tiger Gate. 600,000 peasant soldiers entered the city, while only 300,000 of the defending soldiers…130,000 surrendered. Less than 20,000 escaped, and the rest were all killed! Commander and Imperial Guards Commander Zhan Tian committed suicide. "The First Pass in the World has been broken, and now they are less than 200 miles away from the capital. The Emperor has sent 800 Li Jia to urgently order me to lead 50,000 Flying Tigers to the capital to protect the Emperor. You guys prepare to go to the capital with me tomorrow," Xiang Xin said dully as if he was talking to himself.
" You and Marquis Valiant Cavalry will fight against Li Yi together. Le Xing, the Qin Zhen alliance army is already struggling. Once you withdraw…"
Originally, it was the Emperor's troops that stopped the peasant uprising while the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery and the Marquis of Valiant Cavalry stopped the three rebel generals. Now that the situation had suddenly worsened, Chang Fan couldn't help but worry.
"It's fine. The situation is not so bad that it can't be salvaged. Let's take it one step at a time.”Xiang Xin seemed to have aged a lot.
Chang Fan had long treated Xiang Xin and his son as his own family. Seeing Xiang Xin's miserable appearance, he suddenly hated his own incompetence.
"If I were a god, Lord Marquis wouldn't need to worry so much.”He couldn't help but think that at this moment, he really wanted to cultivate and thirst for power.
Outside the Marquisdom, the wind was cold. Almost all of Han Changcheng's higher-ups were here.
"Yong Er and the Marquis of the Valiant Cavalry were fighting at the front lines, and we brothers were responsible for the rear. Now that the situation has changed, I'm taking the Flying Tigers with me, and the front lines are bound to be tight.”Xiang Xin patted Tong Hu's broad shoulder and said.
"Big brother, don't worry. I won't let any of them enter the same level even if I die!”Tong Hu said firmly.
"Good brother, take care."
"Big Brother, take care!"
They all knew that this time, it might be a farewell, a friendship of life and death for thirty years. Men don't need too many words!
After ten days of the rapid army, Xiang Xin and his group finally arrived in Jingdou. Fortunately, the situation did not worsen. After paying respects to the emperor, Xiang Xin was sent to the frontlines while Chang Fan's ten thousand men stayed in Jingdou to make up for the number of Imperial Guards who had died. Chang Fan was appointed as the left deputy commander of the Imperial Guards.
It was impossible for people to always live in days of tension and worry. Even in the most severe situation, the Flying Tigers Army had joined in and the situation had temporarily stabilized. The chaos of war did not seem to affect Jingdou's prosperity. On this day, Changfan, Xiang Tao, Tong Zhan, Liao Sikai, and Zhang Fei sneaked out to shop without training.
Inside Wang Ergou's Spicy Beef Noodle Restaurant.
"Boss, Uncle Ge You usually goes to whichever restaurant has more people. Why did you choose this place with no one?”Xiang Tao said gloomily.
"What do you know! The money had already been earned by the shop opposite, so what was this shop going to eat? "It's not easy these days. We're just carrying forward Lei Feng's spirit while eating," Chang Fan said righteously.
"Five big bowls of beef noodles are here!" The waiter shouted as he brought it up.
Sweat! This 'big bowl' was really too big!!!
"Boss, I originally only wanted to eat two bowls, but now I want to eat ten bowls!”Tong Zhan laughed foolishly.
"Me too. Boss said that he would treat us to a full meal. We can't go back on our word!”Zhang Fei continued.
"You guys usually look so honest, but I didn't expect you to be so good at taking advantage of me!!!”Chang Fan suddenly felt that the two of them, who were usually smiling so lovingly, were now so sinister.
"Wow!" Liao Sikai picked up a small piece of thin transparent food and showed it off to the others before eating it quickly.
"Spicy Beef Noodles!" He even emphasized the word 'beef'.
"It's not fair! I've eaten nine bowls, but I haven't eaten a single piece of beef. Waiter, give me five more bowls!”Tong Hu roared in dissatisfaction.
"Give me eight more bowls. I want to eat beef too!”Zhang Fei knocked his chopsticks on the table and followed closely behind.
"F * ck! My money!" Chang Fan fainted!
Out of the noodle shop
"Uncle Ge You, you are really a bright light on my dark path, guiding me forward. However, I will always be blind and unable to see the light! I've been tricked!" Chang Fan felt like crying to the heavens!
"Boss, stop sighing. Look at the beauty!”Liao Sikai hurriedly called out to Chang Fan.
At this moment, the noble lady in the palanquin and the beautiful maid beside him were looking at Chang Fan as if he was a monster.!!! He couldn't lose his image in front of a beauty. Chang Fan immediately put on a look that he thought was cool, revealing a row of teeth...
"Looking at the ceremony, it should be the princess 'sedan chair. The current Emperor only has one sister, Princess Wu Jin.”Xiang Tao looked like he knew everything.
"Damn! Her looks are too unworthy of the noble title of princess. Look at how beautiful the servant girl beside him is and how elegant she is! I, your boss, am not someone with that kind of power. I'll give you the princess. If I suffer a loss, I'll take that servant girl!”Chang Fan said happily.
"Tong Hu likes maids."
"Me too." It would be a loss if the two idiots didn't become brothers. Every time Tong Hu spoke, Zhang Fei would follow up.
"Actually, I'm the legendary bad guy who values women over friends. Whoever fights with me will immediately break off all ties!”Liao Sikai said hurriedly.
"Go to hell! I'm the legendary Casanova. Let's see what we can do.”Xiang Tao followed up with a kick from Liao Sikai…
ten days later
" Tomorrow noon, the current Third Prince has invited the three commanders of the Imperial Guards to the guest reception building for a meal. He has specially sent me to invite the three lords," a eunuch said to the newly appointed commander, Lu Meng.
……
The next day, at the Guest Welcoming Tower. When Chang Fan walked in, he actually saw the beautiful maid he saw a few days ago! But today, she was dressed in an unusually noble manner. She leaned against the Third Prince and talked and laughed.
Chang Fan despised this kind of person. Her position in Chang Fan's heart had plummeted. The banquet was undoubtedly filled with topics like loyalty to the country. The Third Prince also had the intention to rope him in, but Chang Fan did not care too much about it.
As soon as he returned to the military camp, the four of them surrounded Chang Fan.
"Boss, I heard that Princess Wu Jin also went. How was it? Tell me quickly." Xiang Tao asked anxiously,
"I didn't see the princess, but I saw that beautiful servant girl.”
"It's true!"
Liao Sikai was very excited at the mention of the beautiful woman.
Chang Fan said earnestly,"You have to observe people carefully and understand them deeply." Today, that beauty had been snuggling up to the Third Prince. When she was eating, she kept putting food into his bowl. When she spoke, she bit her ear. We couldn't hear a word. Their relationship was extremely intimate. Therefore, I'm withdrawing. You must also seriously consider the truth.”
However, Chang Fan didn't expect that his words would bring him trouble.
Three days later, in Chang Fan's camp.
"Which one of you is Left Commander Chang Fan? The Princess has ordered you to go to the Imperial Palace immediately.”A palace maid ordered.
Although he did not know what was going on, he could not disobey the princess's orders!
Chang Fan didn't think too much about it and immediately put on his military uniform and followed the palace maid to the palace.
The Imperial Palace of the Great Wu was resplendent and luxurious. In the rear palace, there were gardens, fake mountains, man-made lakes and everything. Beside the green lake, there were many pavilions. In one of the pavilions, there were a few women in gorgeous clothes sitting inside.
"Damn! "Why is the princess standing while the palace maid is sitting?" This was Chang Fan's first thought after seeing the princess in the pavilion.
"The Left Vice Commander of the Imperial Guards Chang Fan greets Your Highness.”Chang Fan bowed respectfully.
"Oh, I remember you. You're the fool from that day!!!”The seated palace maid said.
"Damn! "When did I become a fool?" Chang Fan thought to himself.
"Do you think it's funny to speak ill of others?”The palace maid asked without thinking.
"I don't understand what you mean. Besides, don't think that just because you're sitting on a chair, you're not a palace maid. I'm a general.”Chang Fan was very unhappy.
"You have the guts to say it, but you don't have the guts to admit it. I'm a scoundrel!"
"Hey, can you please be more polite with your words? If I have offended you in any way, just say it clearly. I really did it. I'm not afraid to admit it.”Chang Fan felt a little emotional after being wronged for no reason.
"Alright, are you saying that I want to use a high branch to be a phoenix and seduce the Third Prince? You bastard!"
"I never said that!" Damn it, when did I say that? I'm so depressed. Chang Fan cursed.
"You still don't have the guts to admit it!"
