Chapter 300 Just Fan!

Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road.

The grass is green all over the sky.

A carriage is galloping on the ancient road, parallel to the setting sun, and hundreds of knights in white robes are following the carriage.

[Congratulations to the master, you are sent out to the frontier, and the system task is issued: conserve your energy and build up your army and horses]

[Task requirements: store 3 million stones of grain, hide 100,000 soldiers, and make the people of Huainan rich. The specific standards will be evaluated by the system! ]

[Task time limit: none! ]

[Task rewards: one soldier summoning card, one pre-Qin character summoning card, and the power of the overlord! ]

Hearing the task issued by the system, Ning Fan was stunned. This time the task reward is quite unusual!

Not only is there no time limit requirement, but also a pre-Qin summoning card and the power of the overlord are rewarded!

Ning Fan's eyes were filled with envy, but he heard the system's voice resounding in his mind again: "Congratulations, Master, you have achieved success in deploying troops in the Western Regions - a great victory in the Western Regions, and you have obtained 2,000 points of merit!"

"Fuck!"

Seeing that the system was so generous this time, Ning Fan was also stunned. Two thousand points of merit were enough to summon four top civil and military officials or two peerless people!

Moreover, this time in the capital, he had a lot of reputation points, and now his reputation has exceeded one million.

It can be said that he left with a full load!

"My Lord!"

"Your Majesty should not have discussed this amnesty with the ministers, and the decree has not been widely publicized in the court, and he even gave the Emperor's Sword!"

"It seems that this time when you leave the capital, your Majesty intends to let you experience it!"

Guo Jia and Chen Gong sat together in Ning Fan's luxurious carriage, which was prepared by Shen Wansan himself. The interior decoration is luxurious and much larger than ordinary carriages.

Guo Jia was not in good health, so Ning Fan specially ordered people to prepare some quilts. Now that three people were sitting down, it didn’t seem crowded.

"Your Majesty, this time, let the lord lead the sixteen states of Huainan, and even control the military power, establish a government office, and appoint officials. His power is comparable to that of an imperial envoy!"

"Huainan is still a chaotic place now. Since the execution of King Huai, the people of the entire sixteen states are in panic and rumors are everywhere."

"What's worse, many bandits took advantage of this opportunity to form gangs, strengthen their strength, and try to secede from one side!"

"No problem!"

Ning Fan showed a confident smile on his face, and whispered: "Some mountain bandits and robbers will not be able to achieve anything."

"However, the powerful people that Lu Kan has won over in recent years are quite famous in the sixteen states. It's just right to take this opportunity to divert the trouble to the east!"

"My lord, your majesty intends to let Huainan merge states and counties, and even give up such great power. Forgive me for being presumptuous. Does your majesty really have no defense against the lord?"

"Or is it intentional to praise him to death?"

Chen Gong's words are not without poison. If Ning Fan cares about it, he can directly punish him with this word!

But what Chen Gong said was not without reason.

You know, the Sixteen Prefectures of Huainan had been managed by Lu Kan for many years, and the people in the area did not have much sense of belonging to the court.

Now, His Majesty not only did not take this opportunity to take it back, but even gave it away, granting Ning Fan the right to appoint officials and station troops.

This is simply incredible. At least, if Emperor Yu took the lead in greeting the ministers, I am afraid that people close to Ning Fan, such as Ji Sui, Chen Qinghe and others, might not agree.

Not to mention old foxes like Lin Qiushi and Zheng Xuan.

"Haha!"

"Gongtai is overthinking. No matter what your majesty's purpose is, as long as the lord arrives in Huainan safely..."

"There is an assassin!"

Before Guo Jia finished speaking, he heard the whistling of arrows outside the carriage, followed by the neighing of horses. Ning Fan smiled and looked at Guo Jia with interest.

"Feng Xiao is really a jinx!"

"As expected."

Guo Jia's face was also very calm, and he said softly: "Now that the lord has left Beijing, it is their best chance. If they really go to Huainan and gain a foothold, they want to make another move, I'm afraid there will be no chance!"

"Can Feng Xiao guess who they are?"

"It's hard to say!"

Guo Jia's eyes also bloomed with a trace of concentration, and he shook his head slightly and said: "Now that the lord is at the cusp of the storm, I don't know how many eyes are secretly staring at us, Your Majesty, the princes, and even the civil and military officials of the whole court and the enemy forces!"

"All possible!"

"And those who can make a move at this time must be either stupid or strong!"

As Guo Jia spoke, he opened the window and glanced outside. He saw dozens of black-clothed soldiers coming from all sides around the carriage and fighting with the white-robed soldiers guarding the side.

"Haha!"

"They are really generous. Judging from their moves, they must be assassins who have undergone rigorous training!"

"It is a big deal to be able to dispatch dozens of people at once."

Ning Fan's face was not too flustered. After all, there were hundreds of white-robed soldiers around the carriage.

This time when he left Beijing, Ning Fan did not bring the white-robed soldiers and the begging soldiers back. Now the situation on the battlefield in the eastern border is uncertain, and there is no news from the northern border, so Ning Fan let the trap camp go first.

Chen Qingzhi was a little worried, so he sent 500 riders to escort along the way, and the 18 riders of Yanyun hid in the dark.

"We will reach the Li River soon. After crossing the Li River, we will be out of the territory of the capital."

"It should be safer by then."

"My lord, do you want to rest for a while?"

"No need!"

Ning Fan shook his head slightly. Although he did not take these assassins to heart, he was not so careless as to sleep surrounded by swords and shadows.

...

Yuwang City, Xiangfu.

Lin Qiushi sat quietly in the pavilion, with a deep light in his eyes, looking at the calm lake, wondering what he was thinking.

He never expected that King Sheng would die in the battle in the Western Territory.

Over the years, he knew what His Majesty was thinking. He did not agree with King Sheng's ideas, and even never considered King Sheng among the candidates for the crown prince.

But he didn't care. He had been planning for so many years. If he hadn't been sure, how could he have easily married his daughter to him?

After all, it was not what he wanted!

"Prime Minister!"

"Princess Sheng fainted after hearing the bad news about His Highness."

"Is she seriously injured?"

"The imperial physician went to the palace and said that she was too sad. I think she is fine."

"Well, let Madam go and take a look!"

"Yes!"

The housekeeper strode away, but saw a figure hurriedly coming over and lowered his voice and said, "Prime Minister, His Highness Prince Yong was assassinated outside the city."

"Oh?"

Lin Qiushi looked quite surprised and sneered coldly, "I don't know which idiot would do it at this time."

"Prime Minister, there is news from the palace. His Majesty sent Eunuch Wei to the Prince Yong's Mansion yesterday to issue an edict, but it was not deliberately publicized!"

"Well?"

Seeing Lin Qiushi frowning, the man hurriedly said, "His Majesty appointed His Highness Prince Yong as the Grand Commander of Huainan, and gave him the Emperor's Sword. He has the power to execute first and report later, open a government office, merge states and counties, and appoint officials on his own!"

"What did you say!"

...
