Chapter 4 Temptation
Chapter 4 Test
Feng Wuhen's treasure hunting was not going well. Because he was worried about Zhan Pohan, Ming Jue could only be cautious in his actions, fearing that others would take advantage of loopholes. Since he found the bones several times, Ming Jue became more cautious and often pretended to go to the veterans' tone intentionally or unintentionally. Because he was naturally cold and unspeakable, he would always take Xu Chunshu and the others to accompany him every time. After a while, several guards and the soldiers got involved, and it became much easier to act.
The important place of Yuling is naturally extraordinary. Ming Jue thought about it for a long time and finally concluded that Su Chang and Qiao Qingbei would not have made too much action at that time. It should be noted that Su Chang would still think of taking out the gold in the future, so he would never bury it in the tomb or other places with too much trouble. If so, the stone tablet that Bishan had once explained back then was indeed the most likely place. However, these days, he had almost searched all the stone objects, from the stone tablet to the pillars, and even slightly larger stones would come forward to investigate, and in the end he had never gained nothing. Could that fortune of Luo Shizi was really just a rumor? Ming Jue shook his head slowly. With his understanding of Lao Jie and the status of this person in the Su family, things should not be vain and vague rumors.
Since he couldn't figure it out, he was too lazy to use his brain anymore. He was just a role who obeyed others. It would be better to leave the task of making decisions to others. Although Shi Jingqi stayed in Beijing to take charge of the overall situation, Feng Wuhen had other staff members, so he couldn't always hide this matter. Even Xu Chunshu and the others would tell him as soon as possible. While thinking about the various thoughts, he rushed to the place where Feng Wuhen lived.
While it was still far away, Ming Jue saw many soldiers standing in front of Feng Ningju's gate, and his heart was so nervous. Although Feng Wuhen showed no sign of losing favor, it was not a good job to come to guard the tomb. Even though he knew the inside story, he was still alert. Seeing this situation, he knew that Zhan Pohan had arrived, so he couldn't help but worry. He did not value this person who was almost capricious like his master. It is important to know that Feng Wuzhao was in the hands of this person back then. If things change, God knows whether this person will stab him in the back.
Although the personal soldiers at the door were all very alert, they still did not notice the familiar and skillful Ming Jue, so they successfully let him cover up.
Zhan Pohan listened to the emperor's will incredible way. Such a light piece of paper could be sent to the sky in a flash. With the title of general and minister of the Ministry of War, there was almost no such precedent in the court. It was not until this moment that he truly realized that he, a person who was good at leading troops and fighting wars, had a little importance. However, this will did not come early or late, but it was delivered when Feng Wuhen was guarding the tomb here. What is the deeper intention?
Feng Wuhen was also a little confused. In the afternoon, the emperor's messenger sent this secret decree and asked him to read it to Zhan Pohan himself. That's fine, but the minister's rank was from the first rank, and only the deputy general who really led the troops could win this honor. The emperor sent people to send this item without bothering, but he just gave him a favor. However, Zhan Pohan had only 50,000 soldiers here. Unless he wanted to rebel, it would be useless even if he could completely gather these people, unless the emperor deliberately transferred them elsewhere.
"The emperor is really troubled. If this decree is rumored, won't the arrogant soldiers and generals in the northwest make a fuss?" Zhan Pohan smiled bitterly, his face full of self-deprecating expressions. "Besides, this is a place where heroes are useless. Even if the emperor gives the title of Minister of War, there is no place to use it."
Feng Wuhen raised his eyebrows, obviously a little surprised. Zhan Pohan had always been indifferent and reserved in front of him, and his behavior today was really strange. If he was not satisfied with his promotion, then this person's ambition was not a little bit, and he had to be extra careful when using it himself. "Sir Zhan, you have to use it so much if you are only in your early thirties. If you still complain that there is no use, it would be too much." Feng Wuhen said half-jokingly and half-justly, "Although you have been excluded from others in the northwest, you are now a lack of generals. As long as you have a shortage of adjustments, you can become a first-class general in just a few years. It is no problem to open a man's ambition, but it is a good thing for the content to be happy."
Unexpectedly, this person was so dull. Zhan Pohan had just passed this disrespectful thought in his heart. From the corner of his eyes, he glimpsed the smile that flashed away from Feng Wuhen's mouth. Being able to survive the exclusion of the generals in the northwest, Zhan Pohan had already known the worldly ways. At this moment, he immediately realized that the other party was testing him, and his heart trembled. At this moment, he no longer dared to underestimate the prince. Compared with Feng Wuzhao, Feng Wuhen was too strong in both cunning and knowledge. Suddenly, he heard a faint breathing sound. He was already a little scared and almost subconsciously pulled Feng Wuhen and flashed into the corner.
Feng Wuhen was still stunned, then showed an intriguing smile. "Ming Jue, why are you hiding when you are back? Didn't you be shocked Lord Zhan? Come out quickly, what are your rules?" As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a black shadow in front of him flashing, and Ming Jue, who was emitting a cold aura all over his body, appeared in front of the two of them. He saw his eyes flashing with cold light staring at Zhan Pohan, as if he wanted to see through this person.
Zhan Pohan, who realized that he had lost his composure, felt anger and embarrassed. He thought he had excellent martial arts and rarely took the first-class guards into his eyes. At this time, he saw Ming Jue sneaking around and noticed the figure, and he couldn't help but feel very disgraceful. Not only that, so many personal soldiers outside the door didn't even see how a living person came in. If it were a first-class assassin, it would be bad. If Feng Wuhen had been pursuing it seriously or taking advantage of the situation, he might not be able to escape the blame for his dereliction of duty this time. Somehow, when he saw the prince's smile, he felt a sense of embarrassment in his heart.
"Your Highness, please forgive me for the crime of dereliction of duty." Zhan Pohan knelt on one knee and apologized, "If Lord Ming had not sneaked here, if His Highness had any mistakes, then no one could atone for his sins."
"Okay, Lord Zhan, don't worry about this little thing all the time. I am not a person like Feng Wuzhao." Feng Wuhen suddenly said straightforwardly, "Since my father has entrusted the safety of many people here to you, I will not be suspicious all day long. I am confident that being open and honest, and I will not make too many hatreds. Besides, with your elite soldiers, there should be no mistakes. As for Ming Jue, he is used to being elusive and has always been this kind of character, so you don't have to pay attention to him."
Zhan Pohan raised his head in shock, and faced Feng Wuhen's solemn gaze, and a trace of enlightenment flashed in his heart. Should he hand over his loyalty so quickly? He suddenly felt that his previous pretended nobleness was so ridiculous. A royal family like Feng Wuhen could never know his performance in the Feng Wuzhao case. Pretending to be indifferent or tempted would only reduce his value even more. No matter how high the position or what he hoped most, he would always lead thousands of troops to fight on the battlefield.
"Your Highness is magnanimous, and I will be grateful for it. If you have any questions in the future, you will definitely follow your order!" Zhan Pohan bowed deeply, "Your Highness has walked the wrong path before, I just hope that your Highness can be more considerate in terms of the usefulness of the last general."
Although he didn't say much, Feng Wuhen still had an incredible feeling when he showed his weakness. Speaking of which, his current situation was surprisingly similar to Feng Wuzhao back then. He was both the queen's legitimate son and were both sent to a remote place. The difference was that his mother was at its peak now, and his father seemed to care for him more than he was afraid of. In this way, Zhan Pohan's risk of following him was much lower than that before. He smiled and bent down to help the general who had galloped on the battlefield and made countless contributions.
"Mr. Zhan is nothing more than working together. I don't have to say anything politely." Feng Wuhen smiled sincerely, "What an official is all about is his original heart. As long as I can promise you a future, not trap you in disloyalty and unrighteousness, and not deceive each other, you can do things without taking care of minor matters. It is a pity that Zhan has never met a true appreciation outside of his father because of his talent. In the future, you don't have to go through fire and water. As long as you can remember these words today, it's enough. As for the difference between superiors and subordinates, you must naturally abide by the rules in front of outsiders. It's okay to be casual when there is no one. Respecting things is not on the face, but on the heart."
Zhan Pohan was really a little stunned by such a generous royal family. In the Northwest China Unionist Party, there were three royal families, Feng Huanjie was arrogant and Feng Wuzhao was arrogant. As for Prince An, who had just been promoted, he was easy-going on the outside and could not understand it at all. Therefore, he almost gave up on the royal children. He could not imagine that he could have an unusual prince today. Zhan Pohan respectfully and bowed, "Since your highness trusts so much, you will be relieved. You will have to rely on your highness to support you in the future."
