Devil’s Advent

Chapter 758 Do you want a child?

breakfast,

Preserved egg and lean meat porridge, deep-fried dough sticks, sesame balls, salted duck eggs.

Tian Tian reached out to pick up a salted duck egg, knocked the hollow end against the coffee table, and after breaking it, began to peel it off. After peeling off one end, he handed the salted duck egg to his godfather.

Then, I picked up another salted duck egg and drew it according to the gourd.

Immediately afterwards, the father and son both drank the porridge and dug salted duck eggs with chopsticks to eat.

Most of Tiantian's living habits and details are imitated by Zheng Houye, and the father and son are in the same line in this regard.

After breakfast, Lord Zheng Hou lay on an armchair facing the rising sun, shaking his body slightly, while Tian Tian stood aside and began to recite the article.

The daily homework is taught by the blind man. The blind man is keen on this errand, and will take time out of his busy schedule to teach Tian Tian.

Zheng Fan knew what the blind man was thinking.

But Tiantian's identity is too special, it is difficult for you to find other suitable teachers to do this job, and the professor's classwork is also close to this era, not unique.

Furthermore,

With the temperament of a blind "rebel", the children he taught, among other things, at least, would not obediently wipe their necks with an imperial decree like Fusu.

The child's father has suffered so much for this big swallow, since the child is raised by him, Zheng Fan will never allow another Tian Wujing to be raised for the sake of the big swallow.

Perhaps, Lao Tian will be fostered with him every day because of this consideration.

The blind man is not here for a while, but he will practice calligraphy and review his homework every day.

Hearing the child's crisp recitation, Zheng Houye squinted for a little while to get back to the cage, and digested food along the way.

After the children finished their morning classes, Zheng Fan got up and was about to practice the knife.

Usually, he would practice swordsmanship in the afternoon, but now that the blind man and Siniang were away, he had to spare some time in the afternoon to review some government affairs.

Even Blind Man and Si Niang have brought out their own teams over the years, but on some overall issues, the people below dare not make decisions by themselves, so Zheng Fan can only nod in person.

Tiantian was extremely excited, hugging her little Maza and followed her godfather to the small martial arts arena in the Hou Mansion.

When the godfather practiced the knife, he sat there every day and watched intently, waving his two little hands from time to time, and muttering to dub the godfather.

drink, ha, oh~

It's a pity that the Sword Master held Tiantian and finally realized the second-rank realm, Longyuan flying into the sky, it was really a big show, but in Tiantian's view, it may be similar to acrobatics.

The child still thinks that his godfather's knife is the strongest.

After practicing the knife, I was sweating all over, and ran over with a towel every day to pass it up.

At this time, Xiao Yibo came in to report: "Master Hou, the second and third wives are about to enter the city."

"knew."

Zheng Fan went to take a bath, changed his clothes, and after tidying himself up, the princess and Liu Ruqing's carriage had just entered the Hou's mansion.

The faces of the two women did not show any fatigue from the itinerary, because most of the journey was by water.

"I've seen Erniang, I've seen my aunt."

I salute the two little mothers every day.

He originally called Liu Ruqing Sanniang without discrimination, but was corrected by Liu Ruqing to call her Auntie.

The princess stepped forward and hugged Tian Tian.

"Hey, I can't hold it anymore."

Saying that, he kissed Tian Tian's cheek.

Leaving aside the position and interests that may arise in the future, at least at this time, it is difficult for a woman to reject a godson who is as obedient as Fuwa.

Furthermore, the princess also knew that Tian Tian was her husband's heart and soul, so she couldn't be so bored as to be jealous with a child right now.

"Thank you." Zheng Fan said.

"Husband."

The two women saluted Zheng Fan.

"Go and rest, I'm sure I'm tired on the road, I'll go to the front signing room to deal with some things, and I'll have lunch with you later."

Although Zheng Houye's body has not fully recovered, he is still on the way to regain his vitality. The woman came back, and this family has real warmth.

However, Zheng Houye is so eager to deal with official business first, not because he is infected with the common problem of big men in this era. have important things to do.

In the signing room, the idlers were screened out, leaving only He Chunlai.

soon,

Gou Moli and Liang Cheng walked in.

The purpose of the Savage King's trip to Chu is to straighten out the relationship there, open up the situation there, and make the Fan family truly a nail in the Hou's residence in Chu for future use.

He added Liang Cheng's configuration, to be honest, it was a bit too high, and it was basically to protect the absolute safety of the two wives.

"My lord."

Gou Moli was a little surprised, as soon as he escorted the two wives back, Lord Hou summoned them without delay. If this Lord Hou was not a person who abolished the public for personal reasons, it would be fine, but Gou Moli Clearly, this one in front of me is the opposite.

He will not underestimate Zheng Fan because of this, in fact, this kind of person who likes to abolish public affairs for personal reasons, and also controls your life and future, is actually the most terrifying.

The lesson from the past is Zhao Jiulang.

If it were another Zheng Fan, or "Xiaotian Wujing", he, Zhao Jiulang, would never have his throat cut and bled in the morning light.

Liang Cheng was a little excited because he knew that the Lord had advanced in Yanjing.

Zheng Fan glanced at He Chunlai, who handed a letter to Gou Moli, and motioned Liang Cheng to read it together.

The letter is from a blind man.

Liang Cheng quickly understood that this was the approximate location of the prophecy, and it had been found.

Gou Moli was a little confused, what do you mean?

Which blind tribe on the snow field offended the Hou family?

On this matter, after communicating with the blind man, Zheng Fan decided to tell Gou Moli... part of the truth.

The snowfield is too big, and there are many tribes in the snowfield. Don't look at the savages who are trembling in front of the Hou's mansion, but if you want to send troops to the snowfield, you may still have problems if you don't go through him, the savage king.

Yes,

Lord Zheng Hou decided to send troops.

He didn't intend to take the demon kings to play with seven swords and go down the snow field;

Going to solve the fateful duel in person looks cool and quack, but in fact it's a bit of a brain drain.

You have worked so hard to become a monk and have a great career. What are you trying to do?

Is the picture singled out?

The army drove over and crushed everything. Isn't this kind of stable happiness fragrant?

And once it involves the departure of the army, and it is still an expedition to the extreme north of the snowy field, if you don't talk to this wild man king, you really feel a little uncertain.

"Benhou had a dream. In the dream, in the extreme north of the snow field, there was something cursing him. Benhou was very uncomfortable, so he decided to cut it off.

Therefore, Ben Hou sent people to the snowfield to check the situation in advance, and indeed found a sect in the extreme north, a sect completely different from Xingchen's beliefs.

The map is right here. Although it is not very accurate, it can be regarded as a general idea.

Now that he found it, Ben Hou decided to send troops to erase it. "

Gou Moli opened his mouth wide when he heard these words.

This is quite ridiculous.

But he understood better that it was not a matter of realizing a dream at this time, but that Lord Hou had already decided to send troops, and what he had to do was how to help arrange and arrange this expedition.

Therefore, Gou Moli went directly to the topic and said;

"Master, since this is the case, this subordinate has a suggestion."

"speak."

Calling him over is just to listen to his suggestion.

As for Gou Moli, if he knew about the prophecy about the Demon King, he would think about it and cause any accidents. These hidden dangers can be temporarily suppressed in front of the real target.

"The sect mentioned by the Lord, how many people are there, is there a tribe directly controlled by it?"

"Their roots are in the extreme north." Zheng Fan replied.

"Since this is the case, there should not be many tribes."

The extreme north is very large, but it is a restricted area of life. It is not that no one lives there, otherwise it would be impossible for Sanghu to integrate a patchwork tribe and go south.

But since it is missionary, the population base is the foundation, so the power of that sect will definitely not be that big, maybe it is not as good as an ordinary mid-level savage tribe.

Moreover, if a big force really appeared on the snow field, it would be impossible to hide the news.

"My lord, my subordinates believe that if we send out troops, the army under our Marquis Mansion's command will definitely shake the snowfield. Although the tribes in the snowfield are not a concern now, there is no guarantee that they will not be all soldiers. They think that my Marquis Mansion will take advantage of the winter If we go ahead with the extermination of the tribe, it will easily cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

In normal times, misunderstandings would be fine, and I even hoped that they would dare to jump out, just to be a target.

But the destination of this expedition is the extreme north, and the journey is far away. We'd better suppress the possible hidden dangers to the minimum.

Furthermore,

There may seem to be a large number of soldiers under our Marquis' Mansion, but one part of Zhennan Pass, one part of Xueguan Pass, one part of Fengxin City, and next, they will be stationed in Yupan City.

The soldiers and horses that can be mobilized are only General Liang's town, and once this town is mobilized to the snowy field, the home, such a large piece of land, really can't stand any disturbance.

Furthermore,

The army is dispatched, the food and grass are needed, the supplies are supplied, and the horses are worn out. Even if we really win the battle, the opponent can't give us any trouble from the front.

But running so far, just hitting them, the loss of the journey is really huge.

The subordinates feel that it is not cost-effective to dispatch the soldiers and horses under my Marquis Mansion. "

"What do you think should be done?" Zheng Fan asked.

"The subordinates believe that Hailan can be ordered to send out 10,000 warriors, and then..."

Gou Moli looked at Liang Cheng, and continued:

"Then General Liang will lead three thousand cavalry to lead the formation. Along the way, you can issue orders from the Marquis Mansion to order various ministries to provide supplies, food, grass and support, and even conscript them as servants of our army.

In this way, the Xueyuan tribes will not be too stimulated, and those leaders can feel at ease.

The consumption of the Hou Mansion can also be suppressed to a minimum.

even,

In fact, we have nothing to consume at all. "

Liang Cheng said, "It's a good way."

Gou Moli smiled and said: "Since the enemy is not strong, then we can just borrow a knife to kill people. My army is in the Xueguan, but it is a kind of deterrent to Xueyuan. Instead, they will be used by our army steadily. Conquer the land of the extreme north for my Marquis Mansion.

And if my army hangs alone in the snow field, the family cannot take care of it first, and if something goes wrong...

My lord, the tribes on the snowfield are short-sighted, but they all have the shadow of wolves. "

Once the army encounters any difficulties in the extreme north, the long return distance is enough to make some wild men take risks.

To be more direct, link up all the ministries, and directly suffocate the army on the cold winter snow field.

This possibility is very low, but it is real.

have to say,

This suggestion from the Savage King made Zheng Fan very happy. Jindong seemed to have a mighty army, and his Marquis of Pingxi also seemed to have great military achievements, but his foundation was still a little weak, and the accumulation level was still insufficient.

It can start a big fire, but it can't stand a small fire and a slow simmer.

"Let's do it like this, but this Marquis will lead the army himself."

Gou Moli was stunned for a moment, but he still didn't say anything to stop him.

Zheng Fan looked at Gou Moli and said:

"I'm a little worried about you, so you can go out with Benhou."

Gou Moli laughed,

road;

"This subordinate obeys the order. Actually, this subordinate also wants to go home and have a look."

Liang Cheng said: "The subordinates will start preparations now. In addition, let Ke Yandong send an official letter to Hailan's department and ask them to gather their troops."

"Well, the blind man and Si Niang should be back soon."

Zheng Fan stretched his waist, and said, "Go find San'er again, let him leave tonight, and take his helpers to scout the way for us."

"Yes, this subordinate understands."

Gou Moli and Liang Cheng went down.

Zheng Fan sat on the chair in the signing room for a while.

The reason why they are so eager to prepare to mobilize troops is because they are afraid of having long nights and dreams, and if they can attack the opponent before they are mature, there will be no delay.

The most hateful thing is that if you delay, fate will punish you.

for example,

When you arrive with your army,

The other party suddenly said to you:

I just woke up.

At this time, it is completely meaningless for you to regret why you didn't leave earlier, why you didn't leave earlier and so on.

As for this map, could it be a trap?

The probability of it being a trap is very low, because it was an accident that I ran into little monk Fan, and the cassock was stored in the tribe of the familiar savages, and was used by the nobles of that tribe to wrap jade, but in case he took it to give away Lover or simply tear it apart to make clothes?

If this can also be a trap, then fate has arranged everything.

And even if it's a trap, just fill it with your own life, five hundred is not enough? Then fill in one thousand, two thousand, three thousand, even ten thousand and twenty thousand, depending on your appetite.

Master Zheng Hou rubbed his face with his hands, got up, and left the signing room.

...

Houfu, back house;

The princess has already settled her luggage, and the small courtyard has already been tidied up, so it won't look a little dusty because it has been unoccupied for a while.

Riding on the green python every day, circling on the pond in the yard.

Maybe, Tiantian didn't have a bamboo horse to ride in his childhood, but his toys are not something that any ordinary child can have.

The black cat and the fox stood by and stared nervously, for fear that the little master would accidentally fall down.

"day by day."

cried the princess.

The green python stopped, got off the snake body every day, and walked over while arranging his clothes.

"Second Niang, are you calling me?"

"Come on, this is the fruit that Erniang brought you in Chudi. Erniang peeled it for you and tasted it."

Daze in Chudi can not only produce the tea leaves that Lord Zheng has never forgotten, but also produce all kinds of rare and exotic fruits, but it is very difficult to pick them. .

Of course, for the rich and powerful, they have long been used to enjoying the sweetness of the blood of the people at the bottom.

Tian Tian reached out to take a fruit, took a bite, the flesh was sweet, like an orange, but not sour at all, very refreshing.

"Is it delicious?"

"Delicious." Tian Tian nodded.

"Come on, Er Niang will peel another one for you."

"No, Erniang, leave it for you and father to eat."

"Don't worry, it's not bad for his mouthful. Besides, he's only willing to eat it after you've eaten it, right?"

The princess reached out and rubbed the tip of Tian Tian's nose.

Sometimes the princess herself thinks, what if her future child is not as well-behaved as the one in front of her?

After the feeling of raising a child has been elevated to a high level by this child, will my future children be disliked if they are disobedient?

"Have you missed your homework recently?"

"Mr. Bei is out, and he is endorsing the book every day."

"What about painting?" asked the princess.

"For those who have painted, according to Erniang's order before leaving the house, one painting will be done every five days."

Zheng Houye's harem is of high quality, even Liu Ruqing is actually good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the princess is even more powerful.

The blind man is in charge of schoolwork, while the princess and Liu Ruqing are in charge of painting and music.

These days, temperament is the standard for measuring a person's status. After all, only those who have escaped the worries of food and clothing have the leisure time to learn rhythm.

"Our family is so good every day. When Er Niang comes to test you, just focus on this fruit and draw it every day, okay?"

"good."

Nodding his head every day, he is not afraid of being asked about his homework, because someone who pays attention to his homework means that someone is standing in front of him and talking to him.

But he knew that his godfather was very busy, so he never said that he would feel lonely.

"It just so happened that Erniang brought back a set of painting tools from the state of Chu, come here and bring them out."

"Yes, ma'am."

A set of brand-new and expensive painting tools was put up.

spread out, lay out

Tiantian didn't use a paperweight, but pressed it with red stones. He got used to the feeling of his sister practicing calligraphy and painting with him.

"Come on."

"lady."

"Go and tell Master Hou that you are in my room every day, and let Master Hou come to my place to have a small reunion dinner at night."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Be good every day, you draw first, and Erniang goes to change clothes."

"Yes, Second Niang."

The princess entered the back room with a brocade box in her arms.

She opened the brocade box, and inside lay a yellow elixir.

Seeing this elixir, the princess's eyes showed anticipation.

In fact, the exotic fruits I ate earlier were just appetizers, and this elixir was the blood of a tribe that really condensed.

And at this time,

A red stone used as a paperweight every day,
