Chapter 568 Before the War

More than half of January passed in the blink of an eye. With Ye Fan here, there was no major turmoil in Kyoto.

The Ji family was imprisoned, and even after investigating and punishing several families, Ye Fan did not continue to attack these families, but just practiced quietly.

"Ye Fan, there is news from the front that the rebels have completed their rendezvous outside Jinling Pass." In the city guard camp, Ye Fan played with antiques from nowhere, and Ning Mengnian hurriedly walked in: "Follow you The number mentioned is about the same, three to four million. In addition, there are seven commanders. Judging from the description, they are all guardians who blocked the sky that day. "

"Then the Seven Kings are taking the lead." Hearing this, Ye Fan nodded, looking at the map in front of him, "Going from Jinling Pass, there is another thousand and twelve miles to Zhaoyang Pass. Once you pass Zhaoyang Pass, you will reach Kyoto. Right under my nose.”

"It takes an ordinary person half a month to travel a thousand miles. For a well-trained army that can practice, it may not take ten days." Ning Mengnian analyzed, "The decisive battle in Kyoto is about to begin. What preparations should we make?"

"Just eat and drink well." Ye Fan replied, without any unnecessary emotions at all.

Ning Mengnian watched from the side, obviously anxious. The rebels were coming fiercely, and their purpose was very clear, which was to kill Ye Fan and others.

The Seven Kings lead an army of millions. Based on the current strength in Kyoto, there is absolutely no way they can resist it.

"I told you, there are some things you shouldn't consider."

Ye Fan naturally knew Ning Mengnian's anxiety, so he said something, stood up, and threw the antiques in his hands on the table: "These aristocratic families have never eaten any good pork. They offer a broken stone like a treasure. I I thought it was really something special, so I looked at it all morning and everyone was sleepy.

With that said, Mark stretched his waist.

"Let's go out and see Kyoto City."

…

"Grandma, those rebels have arrived at Jinling Pass."

At the ruins of the Human King, in front of the Magic Stone Waterfall, Jiade Bailong came to Jiade's grandmother with a newspaper printed from an unknown location.

Grandma Jiade was resting with her eyes closed. When she heard Jiade Bailong's voice, she opened her eyes, glanced at the newspaper, and nodded lightly: "I understand."

"We can't just watch the rebels break into Kyoto City." Seeing the indifference of Jiade's grandmother, Jiade Bailong seemed a little unable to sit still: "Last time in Kyoto, we should have helped Ye Fan kill Tian Yes, my grandmother insisted that I come back before the time comes. Now the rebels are about to enter the city. Hasn’t the time come yet? "

Hearing this, Grandma Jiade just looked at Jiade Bailong and said, "You are worried about the safety of your friends rather than the city of Kyoto."???

"This." After being seen through by his grandmother, Jiade Bailong simply said: "Ye Fan helped us, but now he is trapped in Kyoto City. I don't think grandma can just sit back and watch."

"Bailong, why are you talking to grandma? When did grandma tell you to sit back and do nothing?" On the side, Jiade Niu Er stood up, pulled Jiade Bailong, and said at the same time: "Grandma has a kind heart, and I am a king. I never owe anyone a favor.”

"Grandma will definitely not stand idly by when Mark is suffering, so don't worry."

"Then I'll be relieved." Jiade Bailong agreed and smiled: "I knew grandma was not such a cold person."

"You two."

Grandma Jiade saw what they were singing, and at this moment, she shook her head helplessly.

"For many things, don't just look at the surface. Ye Fan will stay in Kyoto, and he is not trapped in Kyoto. His situation is much safer than you think."

"We will take action to exterminate the rebels, but we will take action at the right time. Being too conspicuous at this time is not a good thing."

"It's still the right time." Hearing this, Jiade Bailong and Jiade Niuer both looked slightly downcast, "How long do we have to wait."

"Soon." Grandma Jiade replied, paused slightly, and took out a letter from her sleeve, "Niu Er, if you have nothing to do, take this letter to Kyoto and give it to Ye Fan. Although we We won’t take action now, but it can still show some of our attitude.”

"Hey, okay, okay." Jiade Niu Eryi, who was suffering from the boredom in the secret realm, stood up with a smile on his face when he heard this.

"I'll deliver it." Jiade Bailong also replied. Just as he stretched out his hand, Niu Er immediately put the letter away.

After the words fell, Niu Er stood up, and the next moment, he had disappeared from where he was.

This made Jiade Bailong helpless and sat down a little gloomily.

"Don't worry, you and your friends will meet again." Seeing Jiade Bailong's mood, Jiade's grandmother patted him on the shoulder and said slightly comfortingly: "Ye Fan is a man of great courage, like this Human beings are born for great turmoil.”

"Practice harder, and when we meet in the future, you will have new competition."

…

"Kyoto City feels pretty good now."

Snap, snap.

Ye Fan and Ning Mengnian were walking on the streets of Kyoto after the rain. Looking at the orderly flow of people on both sides of the street, Ning Mengnian sighed: "It's strange to say that I have been in Kyoto for so many years, and it seems that I have never I haven’t seen anything like this in Kyoto.”

"In the past, the streets were full of horse-drawn carriages and various vehicles rushing back and forth. Pedestrians were always anxious to get out of the way, and vendors always kept a wide cloth ready to cover the mud splashing on the road."

"Just because something has always been like this doesn't mean it's right, it just means no one dares to change it."

Ye Fan replied, and just as he was about to say something, a vendor from the street nearby approached him eagerly and carefully, holding a few oranges in his hand.

He obviously did not dare to face Ye Fan directly. When he came to Ning Mengnian, he handed over the oranges in his hands: "Sir, you and Commander Ye Fan should eat two oranges. It's hard to patrol every day."

Ning Mengnian's movements were slightly stiff, and she subconsciously looked at Mark. Seeing Mark nodding, she took the orange.

The vendor retreated. Ning Mengnian handed Ye Fan an orange and whispered, "Didn't you say that officials are not allowed to accept anything from the people?"

"Don't be too rigid. My original intention is to prohibit any form of corruption**."

Ye Fan peeled off an orange and ate a piece at will, then said: "You are talented, and you may be an official of a certain force in the future. You must have the ability to distinguish yourself, instead of just being a puppet implementing policies."

"Just like this orange, it is essentially nothing more than a gift of goodwill and gratitude from a small vendor, and has nothing to do with corruption or bribery."

After talking for a while, Ye Fan paused slightly and seemed to sigh a little.

"On the contrary, I hope that officials can receive more gifts like this. It would be better if they pile up so much that they can't fit in a room."

"I understand." Ning Mengnian nodded thoughtfully, "Rules are dead, but people are alive."

"The so-called iron law is ruthless and people are sentimental, it's the same." Ye Fan nodded.

"It's just a pity that this scene can't last long." After walking on the street for a while, perhaps still feeling the tension in the air, Ning Mengnian sighed, "A million-level army will fight. If we fight, I don’t know how many people will die, and maybe the entire city of Kyoto will be razed to the ground.”

"War is inevitable. It is better to think about how to win with the least casualties than to think about it."

Ye Fan patted Ning Mengnian on the shoulder.

"Well, since I can't bear to leave, let's take a closer look at Kyoto at this time."

"Maybe I'll never see it again."
