Chapter 185: Misfortune and good fortune
At noon, in addition to a few people in charge of looking out on the city wall of Ganshuiguan, soldiers gathered together in groups to talk about some things that the superiors asked and did not ask for talks.
Under the city wall, the snow on the road has been swept away, there is snow in the corners and alleys, and there is thin ice in some places where people frequently step on it, so people should be careful when walking.
The military camp is inside the pass. Except for a narrow commercial street run by the Han Family Chamber of Commerce, which allows the soldiers guarding the pass to have some fun on women from time to time, there is nothing else worth mentioning.
At the end of the commercial street is a large-scale house with beautiful decorations in the pavilions and towers, which are incompatible with the style of the simple military town, which is gray and white everywhere outside the courtyard wall, not to mention the pond rockery and koi cruising.
There is a secluded living courtyard near the edge of the house. There is a hall, house and dining and tea place in the courtyard. It is a very comfortable place, with the general's distinguished guests living in it.
This distinguished guest has been here for nearly a month but has never been summoned by the general. The general has not treated him poorly. He serves him with good wine and food every day. The servants run here many times every day, for fear that the distinguished guest will be dissatisfied, and maybe it will cause the general who is in a very bad mood to kill someone recently.
However, the guest had a gentle temperament. He had not walked out of the courtyard for a month or had not asked them any demands. Whenever the servants delivered food to the yard, they could smile and nod at them with a smile. They were really a good person.
It was just noon this day. When the servants entered the yard, they saw that the fat general Han Feng was chatting with the guest in the yard today. Apart from General Han and his guests, the servant who often accompanied the guest was not there at the stone table. So they quickly restrained their smiles and put the food lightly on the stone table, kneeling respectfully, and then retreated.
Han Feng did not wear armor today but wore a loose and heavy robe. The robe was embroidered with tigers and eagles, looking extremely majestic. After all the servants left the courtyard and closed the yard, he picked up the snacks in a food box on the table and stuffed them into his mouth, "Well, these snacks are indeed from the hands of our chefs. It seems that these servants dare not disrespect Brother Su."
Sitting opposite Han Feng was Su Yiming, a middle-aged man who had an agreement with Luochuan on the official road from the county. He imitated Han Feng and squeezed a piece of snack and stuffed it into his mouth and smiled, "Brother Han is famous in Zhongzhou. Therefore, with Yiming's attitude of only looking at the servants in Brother Han's mansion, he knew that Brother Han still attached great importance to Yiming."
Fatty Han Feng and Su Yiming looked at each other and laughed.
"Brother Su, you are still the temperament of your first acquaintance, and you haven't changed at all," Han Feng smiled and pointed at Su Yiming, then picked up the tea cup, lowered his head and smelled the tea fragrance while asking casually, "But I wonder why Brother Su is so talented, he would go to a remote and remote place like the county to seek a job?"
Su Yiming's expression remained unchanged, while chewing the snacks in his mouth, as if he was still savoring the taste in the snacks. "Brother Han knows me, Yiming is indeed a bit pretentious. He vowed to travel around the 32 counties of the five prefectures and thirty-two counties in ten years, and finally found a lord who can be entrusted to him. Now that the trip has not been completed, he decided to stay in Lijun. It is because there is a person worthy of Yiming's service in Lijun. I once told Brother Han about the so-called opportunity. Once you meet it, you must hold it tightly, otherwise it will be difficult to meet it again. Now this statement is fulfilled to me, Yiming dares not hesitate at all!"
Han Feng looked up at him, then lowered his head to drink tea, and just took a sip and said, "Brother Su should also remember that I said that opportunities are different in size. Perhaps if you miss a small fate, you can welcome the big fate. Why is Brother Su like this?"
Su Yiming shook his head and said, "Yiming walked through most of the Central Region and met twenty-seven prefects and ninety-three princes, among which there are many who are already famous. But if there are not many who can be better than many prefects in the history of the Dading Ding, and those who can be considered "extraordinary", then there are only one prefect of Lijun. Note that the prefect of Lijun I am talking about is not Luo Tianen. Although this person is also outstanding, compared to his son... there are still fundamental differences."
"What's the difference?" Han Feng asked with his head raised.
Su Yiming stretched out three fingers, "Luochuan's proton returned home for only more than a month, Wen can break the old rules in one place, Wu can fight against the Western barbarians on the border, Luo Tianen has been a prince for more than ten years, but he followed the rules and encountered difficulties. This is the difference; Luo Chuan ascended the throne for more than a month, and left the city and the land was not stable yet, but his troops have left Tianmen. He regards the fortune of the great cauldron for nine hundred years, how can Luo Tianen's cautious personality be able to be? The second difference is the difference," he shook the only finger he kept in his hand, "The most important thing is the third point."
After pausing slightly, he stared at Han Feng's eyes and smiled, "Luochuan has a gift that will naturally fit people's hearts. Wherever he goes, no matter the powerful or the people, everyone will be in love. Brother Han, isn't this... the atmosphere of the world's common ruler?"
Han Feng was stunned and then smiled, "Brother Su's sense of humor is better than before."
"Maybe," Su Yiming smiled and drank a sip of tea. "Brother Han, the immortal Lu Zu passed away, and the cauldron will die. This is the destiny. Originally, the master of the family told Yiming that Lu Zu's immortal life should be there for some time, but now that he has gone, the destiny cannot be violated." He saw Han Feng's eyebrows jump slightly when he heard him say the word "family master". "The cauldron is about to die, but the human race will not die. Those who are qualified to compete for the world are just those thirty-two surnames. Brother Han must know better than me. Even if Brother Han has a strong army and a strong horse and has the ability to enter Rou City one day, he will not be able to replace the Yan family as the 33rd princes. If he only chose one of the thirty-two surnames, wouldn't Yiming be more confident than Brother Han...?"
Han Feng sighed and asked, "Brother Su, Master also feels... I need to choose a master in the chaos in the world?"
"Of course, there is no need for family masters to do this. No matter how the world changes, it is just like the same as before, but..." Su Yiming smiled bitterly and pointed at his nose and said, "Brother Han, you and I are not as romantic as family masters. Since the chaos in the world is inevitable, choosing a wise master and following it is the only choice for today's smart people. The rest... is that people who do not choose power will die in the torrent of the world...."
Han Feng was silent and said suddenly after a while, "Brother Yiming, you probably don't know Han Feng's current situation..."
Su Yiming shook his head with a solemn expression, "Since Yiming came to Brother Han's house as a guest, he had no contact with the outside world, but Brother Han's current situation, Yiming should be able to guess it."
Han Feng looked at Su Yiming with deep meaning and said slowly, "Tongcang and Zhengcang are already in the hands of Lijun. My son led the eight thousand elite infantrymen and was trapped by Zhao Wuji in Liangcang City." His eyes were staring at Su Yiming's eyes, and his tone was cold, "The lands of Nancheng... have also fallen...!"
When Su Yiming heard this, he couldn't help but chuckled and sighed.
Han Feng narrowed his eyes and asked, "Brother Yiming, are you laughing at me for not having trouble with the Han family?"
Su Yiming shook his head, "Brother Han's Han family is obviously a blessing, but it is not far away. Yiming sighed that he had not won the victory in the war, and most of the contributions had been lost..."
