Chapter 511 Is this the case?
As the two looked at each other, Dongfang Tianming understood what the other person was thinking.
The Fan family was one of the top families in the Tang Dynasty, with three generals, a great general, a lieutenant, and several civil servants. Moreover, the people of the Fan family are upright and considerate of the people and the country.
The Xiongnu attack made the people in the north uneasy, so the Fan family was not afraid of the severe cold and moved the whole family to the north to guard it.
There was a severe drought, and the Fan family spent all their money to buy grain and save the people.
The old emperor passed away, and countless people in the court were ready to take action. It was the Fan family who took action and used the entire family's strength to help the new emperor ascend to the throne.
In this way, the Fan family gradually became the most trusted family by the emperor. In terms of wealth and wealth, there may be several families more than the Fan family, but in terms of influence, the Fan family is the only one in the entire Tang Dynasty.
The Fan family came forward, even though Lin Xiaofan had extraordinary abilities, he still had to give in. Otherwise, it would be an enemy of the entire Tang Dynasty, and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty would definitely raise his troops to attack Daqian.
"Tianming, this is the only way."
Dongfanghai urged.
Dongfang Tianming smiled bitterly, with a look of struggle on his face.
Is this the case?
With the temperament of the Fan family, they would never force Lin Xiaofan, let alone offend Lin Xiaofan to death for no reason.
If he wants to deal with Lin Xiaofan, he will cause the Fan family and Lin Xiaofan to confront each other, which is equivalent to deceiving the Fan family.
He couldn't stand up to General Fan, and if the matter was revealed, he would have to bear the wrath of the Fan family.
He turned his eyes to Dongfang Ao on the bed, who was looking at him pitifully, with tears in the corners of his eyes.
"Tianming, if the risk is too great, I will think of other ways."
Dongfanghai said.
"No, just do as you say, dad."
"Lin Xiaofan will not give this kind of treasure to the Fan family easily. When the time comes, I will take this opportunity to put pressure on and find a way to get the item. In this way, the Fan family will not blame me."
Dongfang Tianming spoke.
"Without further delay, I will set off for the Fan family right now. Otherwise, if the people sent by the Fan family find Lin Xiaofan first, the plan will come to nothing."
……
Northern Datang.
Two towering mountains rise straight into the sky, and a black fortress appears in the middle, blocking the only entrance.
This mountain is called Tieshan, and this city is named Tieshan City. Tieshan City was the northernmost border of the Tang Dynasty, and it was also the most convenient way for the Xiongnu to invade the Tang Dynasty.
There are no houses in Tieshan City, only military camps where 50,000 elite soldiers and members of the Fan family are stationed here.
"Who is coming!"
The soldier saw a man and a horse coming and asked loudly.
"Dongfang Tianming."
Hearing this, the soldiers quickly made way for them.
Dongfang Tianming dismounted after entering the city and couldn't help but shudder. Now that winter has come, the cold wind in Tieshan Pass is getting stronger and stronger, and there are also some white snowflakes floating in the sky.
It was exactly noon, and the soldiers were either patrolling or training. There was no one on the streets, and the soldiers could only faintly hear the shouts of killing.
He walked all the way to the center of the city, where the Fan family courtyard was revealed, with more than a dozen houses arranged neatly inside. Although it is not as magnificent as other cities, it still makes people feel bright after getting tired of looking at the military camps on the periphery.
Several soldiers were guarding the door, wearing red and black heavy armor, and the spears in their hands were polished.
"General Dongfang."
They are the soldiers of the Fan family, so they naturally recognize Dongfang Tianming.
"I'm looking for General Fan."
Dongfang Tianming said.
"General Dongfang, wait a moment, we will make a report."
The soldiers left in a hurry. Although Dongfang Tianming has a high position, in this fortress, no matter how high the official position is, one must follow rules when doing things.
Dongfang Tianming was used to it, and there was no dissatisfaction on his face. He just stood aside and waited patiently.
Not long after, the soldier came back again and took him into the courtyard of Fan's house. After walking through the path, the two came to a large and spacious room.
There are not too many gold and silver treasures in the room for decoration, so it looks a bit empty. What comes into view are the four big blood-red characters of "Serve the Country with Loyalty".
Under the big characters, a gray-haired old general sat upright with a bit of majesty on his face. It was General Fan Fan Yong. Seeing Dongfang Tianming coming, he made an inviting gesture to the seat in front of him:
"Tianming, sit down quickly, cough cough..."
"General, your body..."
"It doesn't matter. It's getting cold and you have a cold. Just take some medicine and you'll be fine."
Dongfang Tianming was interrupted by General Fan's words midway through his words.
"Why are you here this time?"
"General, Lin Xiaofan of Daqian State has a treasure that can destroy thousands of armies with just a few clicks. I am here to ask for orders to go and get it."
Dongfang Tianming said.
"Oh, that's it!"
After Fan Yong understood, he shook his head gently and said:
"Tianming, you are worrying too much. I have already sent people to this matter. Calculating the time, we should have arrived in the south of the Tang Dynasty. Let's wait for the news here. At the same time, I have written to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. No matter how much it costs, The price must be paid.”
Dongfang Tianming had already expected it, stroking his beard and asked:
"General, who did you send, and what price do you plan to pay?"
"Send a few cronies, don't worry, they are all quick-thinking people. Let Lin Xiaofan pay the price. As long as it is not too excessive, I will agree to it."
Fan Yong answered one by one. Although Dongfang Tianming was reckless, he fought bravely and had a fearlessness about death. He admired this young man very much, so he did not hide it at all.
"General, that's inappropriate."
Dongfang Tianming shook his head slightly.
"Our Dongfang family has contact with Daqian. Our family members have met Lin Xiaofan before. Their evaluation of this person is that he is as resourceful as a demon and has a heart as high as the sky."
After speaking, he raised his head and glanced at Fan Yong. The latter smoothed his beard and nodded slightly. He seemed to be talking to himself or to Dongfang Tianming:
"He will be very wise in this life. He is only seventeen or eighteen years old this year. It is normal for him to be arrogant and arrogant."
"General, in my opinion, this man is arrogant and arrogant. He is ranked ninth on the list of famous generals at a young age. In terms of ranking, he is only one place lower than you, General."
"If we only send a few unemployed cronies, I'm afraid the other party will think that we look down on him, and we won't even see him."
Dongfang Tianming took a sip of water, touched his cheek and looked at Fan Yong.
Fan Yong frowned, thought for a moment and then said:
"That's true. My grandson Fan Quan is also twenty years old this year. He has commanded and won several battles, but he doesn't know how high the sky is. Lin Xiaofan has made so many achievements and is proud of himself. It is not appropriate to send a few close followers."
He was also like this when he was young. He was arrogant and thought that no one on the list of famous generals could match him. As a result, he suffered several defeats and even almost lost his head because of this.
"General, why don't you let me go?"
