Chapter 146 A Figure

The Blind Man's persona, previously in the comics, was that of a psychologist. A psychologist also needs to be able to speak; a psychologist who can't speak always feels like they're missing something.

Later, the Blind Man wasn't satisfied with just one job and started his own side hustle. Before he knew it, he had swayed too many people and created a cult.

After arriving in this world, he even set up a fortune-telling stall to earn the first start-up capital for everyone to open an inn.

His ability to swindle people is truly innate.

Of course, the word "deceive" lies in the heart. As the saying goes, "Without desire, one is firm," and it is precisely because of desire that one can be taken advantage of.

It was precisely because the Blind Man saw the Sword Saint's confusion that he threw out this olive branch.

Putting aside everything else,

Just talking about the future on the city walls of Shengle City,

The Lord stood there,

In front of him,

Were the Tiger贲 Iron Cavalry,

Behind him were the Seven Demon Kings,

Beside him,

Stood the current Sword Saint;

The Blind Man felt that, based on Zheng Fan's personality of liking to put on a show and be in the limelight, it would definitely make him excited to the point of being unable to sleep.

The martial world in this world isn't that exaggerated, and the martial artists in this world aren't that perverted. The rise and fall of dynasties still rely on the rolling tide of warhorses and iron cavalry.

But if he could really move the Sword Saint, this great Buddha, to reside in Shengle City,

Once war really breaks out in the future,

Him standing on any one city wall would be equivalent to directly adding a thousand iron cavalry!

Ding Heng and Cui Linfeng inside the carriage exchanged glances. The two of them tacitly didn't speak, because they knew that here, they weren't qualified to speak.

The Sword Saint's reputation was too great, and his fame was too big. He had suppressed the martial world of Jin for ten years, and no one could compare to him. Even the Blind Man, who initially didn't show off and only knew how to flatter, had revealed his impressive demeanor in his previous words to the Qian Kingdom's Silver-Armored Guards.

The Blind Man also knew how to handle things.

He first lifted the curtain and handed the child to Ding Heng,

Then said:

"The two of you can be considered influential figures in the Jin martial world. Although the Jin Kingdom is now gone, the two of you should understand what kind of disaster it would be for the people of Jin if the barbarians were to invade. I implore the two of you to abandon your prejudices and, for the sake of the people of Jin, go to Shengle City together to defend the border.

"Rights and wrongs are just the words of petty people; a true man or woman keeps righteousness in their heart."

These words were also extremely beautiful.

In fact, people in the martial world, if they have connections, all want to be dogs.

Even those literati who always like to pretend to be noble aren't thinking about selling themselves to the imperial family all day long?

Ding Heng cupped his fist at the Blind Man, then looked at the Sword Saint and said:

"Ding is willing to follow the Sword Saint. If some of my brothers in the gang know that there is this opportunity, they will naturally be very happy."

Cui Linfeng covered her mouth and giggled, her heavy chest swaying back and forth, and said:

"Me too. When we get there, I'll write a letter to the stronghold. The big boss and the others will definitely be tempted."

"In that case, I will thank the two of you for your righteousness on behalf of the people of Jin!"

As the Blind Man spoke, he bowed to Ding Heng and Cui Linfeng.

Ding Heng and Cui Linfeng hurriedly avoided the bow, not daring to accept it.

The carriage,

Continued to move forward,

Openly and honestly moving forward.

The Sword Saint suddenly opened his mouth and said to the Blind Man sitting beside him:

"You are a character."

"You flatter me, sir."

"But I'm more curious, is the Shengle City guard who can take you as his subordinate really the kind of dog-like lowly thing you said before?"

"Does sir know why there is the saying 'Good birds choose trees to perch on'?"

"Hmm, why?"

"Because they are often blind."

"Are you blind? Ah………”

The Sword Saint shook his head and said again:

"Forget it, I didn't ask."

………

The next morning, Zheng Fan had just gotten up and finished washing up. When he opened the door of his room, he found Li Yiyong standing outside with a group of people. Originally, they were sitting on chairs, blocking most of the aisle on the second floor, but because they were all wearing armor, neither the shopkeeper nor the passing guests dared to say anything.

Jin had just been annexed, and the war had only ended half a year ago, so people's fear of weapons was still very clear.

When Zheng Fan opened the door, Li Yiyong immediately stood up, and the others also stood up together. They knelt down in unison in the corridor and faced Zheng Fan:

"Greetings, General!"

"Greetings, General!"

Zheng Fan was a little surprised, pointed to the room, and said:

"Come in, all of you."

After everyone came in, Li Yiyong introduced:

"General, these are all the captains and above in the entire camp. They are here to thank the General for yesterday's reward on behalf of all the soldiers."

"Sit down, all of you. Find a place yourself."

"Thank you, General."

"Thank you, General."

Li Yiyong was so sensible, which surprised Zheng Fan a little. Originally, Ah Ming said yesterday that this guy might take the credit himself, but Li Yiyong was very practical. He rushed to thank him early in the morning with the military leaders, and also brought some Jin specialties.

They didn't send any gold or silver, just some specialties from near Litian City. There weren't many things, each person carrying a share, purely as a token of appreciation.

After they met one by one, spoke, and introduced themselves, Li Yiyong timely got up and led the military leaders to leave, so as not to disturb Zheng Fan's business.

After they left, Ah Ming leaned against the door and shook his head,

Said:

"This Li Yiyong is really an eye-opener."

"This shows that people have a long-term vision," Zheng Fan said.

Ah Ming nodded and said, "It can be considered a good find."

"It was sent by Tian Wujing."

"I know, I know. Lord, what would you like to eat? I'll ask the shopkeeper to make it."

"Whatever."

"Lord, are we leaving tomorrow?"

"Yes, in the afternoon, I'll try to visit the Marquis's mansion."

He was leaving tomorrow. Emotionally, Zheng Fan should have been the godfather of Tian Wujing's child. Rationally, he had just been promoted by the Marquis of Jingnan, so he should go to pay his respects.

In fact, according to the rules, Zheng Fan should have gone to thank him last night, but the atmosphere in the Marquis's mansion at this time was not the time to build relationships, and Zheng Fan knew that Tian Wujing would not have any opinions on him for being a little late to thank him.

"The Blind Man hasn't come yet," Ah Ming added.

"I can't tell that you two have such a good relationship."

"A polite concern, after all, according to the route and time, even if the Blind Man rode a donkey for the last part of the journey, he should have arrived."

"Think of the good things, something should have been delayed."

"Yes."

After a simple lunch at the inn, Zheng Fan got up and left the inn to go to the Marquis's mansion.

However, the gate of the Marquis's mansion was tightly closed. Yesterday was the funeral, and today the gate was tightly closed, with armored soldiers standing guard and refusing all visitors.

Regardless of whether they came to offer incense or wanted to mourn, they were all refused.

Zheng Fan stepped forward to try to get close, because Zheng Fan felt that he was a "special" one.

However, the captain who had signaled to him last time directly shook his head this time and said:

"Sir Zheng, the Marquis has issued a strict order to refuse all visitors. Even the eunuch who came from the palace today was unable to enter this door."

There was no way, Zheng Fan could only return the same way and went back to the inn.

"Lord, didn't see him?"

Ah Ming was sitting in the room drinking red wine. Eunuch Zhang left him another bottle before he left.

Zheng Fan shook his head.

Ah Ming smiled and said:

"Interesting, is the Marquis of Jingnan in self-imposed seclusion?"

"I'm not sure. Let's focus on our own business. Have those shopkeepers and trading bosses been settled?"

"They're being settled. They'll leave with us tomorrow back to Shengle."

"Yes."

Zheng Fan sat down by the bed, stretched, and wasn't sleepy. There were no entertainment facilities here, and in the atmosphere of Litian City at this time, most of the entertainment venues were also closed, and there was nothing serious to do.

"Lord, this subordinate just heard a group of people below discussing that the Marquis of Jingnan also ordered a general named Chen Yang to lead his own ten thousand troops to replace Ren Juan, who was defending in Xin Su City."

"I met Chen Yang a few days ago."

On the day Zheng Fan entered the Marquis's mansion, Chen Yang and Luo Ling, two Jingnan Army generals, were kneeling in the corridor.

"Is this arranging a plan for the barbarians?"

"It should be. There should be other troops heading there later, forming a line of defense to prevent the Situ family from really collapsing and the barbarians taking the opportunity to enter.

"This time is pretty good. Although our Shengle City's position isn't a main battlefield, at least it can be considered to have been raised to a supporting war zone. Not to mention the five thousand Jin soldiers, give them to A Cheng and the Blind Man to fix up. I estimate that it should be another iron cavalry.

"It's also easier to ask the imperial court for people, money, and food later. Although we insist on the principle of independent development, it's idiotic not to take advantage of the public."

Although Zheng Fan emphasized the importance of infantry when the demon kings gathered for a meeting, after all, they would have to rely on them when attacking the city in the future. They couldn't let horseshoes hammer the city walls, right?

But in the end, cavalry is still really good.

Ah Ming smiled and said:

"Lord, if the Marquis of Jingnan suddenly gave us status and soldiers, what do you think he would think if he knew that the Blind Man and the others were shouting at home every day about rebelling?"

The speaker didn't mean it, but the listener took it to heart.

Zheng Fan, who had been smiling, suddenly froze.

Ah Ming was a little puzzled and asked:

"Lord, what's wrong?"

Zheng Fan took a deep breath, as if he suddenly understood something,

Rubbed his chin hard with both hands,

Slowly said:

"What if the Marquis of Jingnan had actually seen it long ago?"

………

The Marquis of Jingnan's mansion is now more like a desolate prison, and in the prison, there is a person locked up.

A person who dares to isolate himself from this world, a man who cannot be disturbed even by His Majesty's decree.

Half of the azaleas in the garden had fallen, and half were still hanging on the branches. Because no one dared to come in to clean, the ground was covered with flower mud.

Tian Wujing sat on the steps,

Quietly watching the remaining flowers in the garden.

The flowers were planted by him personally. This man, who was used to holding a knife, clumsily arranged this place.

She stood there with her bulging belly, sitting there and clumsily learning needlework while smiling and watching him tidy up the garden.

Now,

The flowers bloomed,

The flowers withered again,

People left,

But never came back…
