Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

Zhuge Xuanming saw Fan Xin's strange expression and hurriedly explained.

"Don't be surprised, Governor Fan. Governor Zhao was just joking with you. How dare he compare with Han General Li Guang."

"You think so, Governor Zhao?"

Seeing the counselor wink at him, Zhao Wenhui laughed.

"Mr. Zhuge is right. I was just joking. Come on, let's drink!"

"I didn't expect the Governor to be a funny man." Fan Xin raised his glass and clinked it with Zhao Wenhui.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Fan Xin stood up and said.

"Captain Zhao, it's getting late. I still have things to deal with, so I won't disturb your rest. Farewell!" After that, he walked out of the council hall.

Looking at his back, the smile on Zhao Wenhui's face gradually disappeared, and he narrowed his eyes.

"Did you say he found out?"

"You exposed such a big flaw, Fan Xin must have noticed something is wrong." Zhuge Xuanming said, stroking his beard.

"But this person didn't point it out. It should be the gold that played a role..."

"Reporting to Governor Zhao, someone slipped a secret letter under the door."

Just before Zhuge Xuanming finished speaking, a soldier walked in and held his fist.

"Bring it over to the Governor and have a look."

Taking the secret letter from the soldier, Zhao Wenhui opened it and took a look.

However, after just one glance, his face turned completely gloomy, and he slapped the letter on the big case.

"What a fan, Fan Xin, who dared to secretly go to the Qiao Family Courtyard to investigate me after receiving a heavy gift from this Governor. He really doesn't know how to live or die!"

"Captain Zhao, what do you mean?" Zhuge Xuanming's face was very ugly. He thought he had bribed Fan Xin, but he didn't expect that he was trying to hide the truth.

Zhao Wenhui snorted coldly.

"Honggu wrote to say that Fan Xin quietly went to the Qiao Family Courtyard last night and captured a guard of the Governor's Palace, preparing to collect evidence to get rid of the Governor."

"We can no longer keep people like this, we must get rid of them as soon as possible to avoid causing further trouble!"

This time Zhuge Xuanming did not object again. Since Fan Xin could not be used for his own purposes, he could only send him to report underground.

Therefore, he said with a stern face: "Don't worry, Governor Zhao. The students will mobilize the troops to attack the Governor's Mansion and ensure that the man named Fan will not survive tomorrow!" After saying that, he walked away.

……

Governor's Mansion, courtyard.

At this time, there were many guards here, and everyone's eyes were focused on Fan Xin.

"Everyone, tonight is unpredictable. The enemy is very likely to attack the Governor's Mansion. I need you to cheer up and make arrangements in advance!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole courtyard was in an uproar, and Duan De couldn't believe it.

"Prince Fan, are you saying that Governor Zhao will lead an army to attack the governor's mansion at night?"

If these words had not come from Fan Xin's mouth, it would be difficult for him to believe that the dignified governor would actually lead an army to attack the imperial officials.

Fan Xin nodded with his hands behind his back and glanced at everyone.

"I know it's hard for you to believe it. In fact, I don't believe it either."

"But the evidence shows that the current Governor Zhao is a fake. He is very likely to kill us in order to cover up the truth."

"So from now on, the Governor's Mansion will immediately enter a state of martial law."

"The first and second teams set up a defensive line in the vestibule, and the third and fourth teams were on standby on both sides of the nave."

"The others are waiting for me to hold the battle in the backyard."

After giving the order, all the Qianniu Guards clasped their fists in unison.

"I will obey your orders!"

After saying that, the leaders of each team led the teams to their respective positions.

Soon only Zhang Huan, Li Lang, Liu Zi and others were left in the courtyard.

"Chief Fan, do you think Zhao Wenhui will really come to the Governor's Mansion tonight?" Zhang Huan still didn't want to believe it.

Fan Xin glanced at him and said calmly: "Zhao Wenhui dares to kill Qiao An, a fifth-grade life official, so what else can he not dare to do?"

"You two stay here, while Yang Qing and Zhao Hu watch Dian Ruhua and Qiao Feiyan. The more murderous the demons are, the more the demons are dancing around. We can't let them ruin my plan."

"Yes!" Yang Qing and Zhao Hu walked into the room with fists in hand. When only Liu Zi and three people were left on the scene, Fan Xin hesitated and said.

"Liuzi, how many years have you followed me?"

"Back to the young master, I have been with you for seventeen years. My youngest has been with you since I was five years old."

"Yes, it's been seventeen years. If I can't trust you, I don't know who else I can trust."

Fan Xin sighed softly, took out the treasure box containing the gold fish charm from his arms and handed it to Liu Zi.

"You immediately take Zhang Huan and Li Lang to Youzhou to mobilize an army of tens of thousands to take over Yingzhou."

"Remember not to let anything go wrong with this thing along the way!"

Seeing this thing, Liu Zi was fine, but Zhang Huan and Li Lang changed their expressions.

As imperial guards, they recognized this object at a glance as the fish talisman used by Wu Zetian to control the military.

Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother even gave this thing to Fan Xin, which shows how important this person is in her heart.

"Master, this place is more than 800 miles away from Youzhou, and the fastest round trip will take seven or eight days. Can you hold it for such a long time?"

"Why don't we mobilize the local garrison in the concentration camp state? It's close and convenient."

"Confused!" Fan Xin glared at Liuzi and said angrily: "Zhao Wenhui has been in charge of Yingzhou for many years, and the local garrison has long been corrupted. Do you think you can still trust him?"

"As for the issue of holding on, you don't have to worry. The Dongyi Protectorate is an important town in Beiguan, and you need to be on guard against Khitan, Xi tribe and other forces at all times."

"Zhao Wenhui could only mobilize more than 2,000 people in a hurry. It would take six or seven days at the fastest to mobilize the entire army. By then, reinforcements should have arrived."

Seeing that the young master had made up his mind, the six sons knew that it would be useless to persuade him, so they could only take Zhang Huan and Li Lang to leave the Governor's Mansion and rush to Youzhou.

Soon, as time passed, the sky gradually became dark, and the huge Governor's Mansion was completely dark. All the guards clenched their swords and stared at the door of the mansion.

In order to prevent the door from being broken open, they had piled stones there.

Another half-quarter of an hour later, a hurried report sounded in the night sky.

"Reporting to the Governor Fan, an army was found twenty miles south of Yingzhou City rushing towards the Governor's Mansion. Their number is unknown and their purpose is unknown!"

"We're finally here..." Fan Xin stood with his hands on his back, looking deeply across the night sky towards the city gate.

"Hurry! Follow us all!" Zhuge Xuanming shouted loudly on his horse.

Upon hearing the order, more than 2,000 soldiers holding torches immediately accelerated their speed and rushed towards the governor's mansion.

"It's a pity that the main force of the army has to keep an eye on the Khitans, otherwise tens of thousands of troops could crush the governor's mansion with a single charge." Zhao Wenhui lamented.

"Don't worry, Governor Zhao. There are only two hundred thousand niu guards in the Governor's Mansion. It will be easy for our people to attack." Zhuge Xuanming said nonchalantly.

"I hope so." Zhao Wenhui cheered up and looked ahead.

While talking, the Yingzhou army arrived in front of the gate of the Governor's Mansion. Compared with the bright lights in the past, the mansion was now pitch black, like a devouring giant beast...
