Chapter 492 Do me a favor
Fan Honghui didn't expect Lu Qiyan to ask this question. After thinking for a moment, he answered seriously, "The previous emperor was incompetent, the feudal lords were divided, and the people were living in misery. The current emperor is kind and wise, and is truly a wise ruler. My Fan family is willing to follow him to conquer the world and build a country where the people can live in peace."
"The Fan family is a loyal and brave family, which is admirable."
Lu Qiyan cupped his hands and said with a smile, "The Fan family must follow a wise ruler. I, a humble official, also think the same way."
Fan Honghui lowered his eyes.
What Lu Qiyan was helping was not him, but justice, light and hope.
And he happens to be doing quite well at the moment. If he becomes the next An Leiting in the future, Lu Qiyan will probably turn his attention against him without hesitation.
Such a person...
Fan Honghui smiled and shook his head, then nodded, "Commander Lu... Excellent!"
It's really great.
Be loyal to your heart and loyal to the world.
"Thank you for the compliment, Commander." Lu Qiyan was not modest this time. Instead, he smiled, accepting the compliment firmly. He smiled and said, "Commander Fan is also very good."
He is not stubborn or petty, and is able to put the overall situation first and choose the good. He is indeed good.
"Thank you Commander Lu for your praise." Fan Honghui bowed and responded with a smile.
The two were chatting and laughing, but someone took advantage of the night and quietly approached the place where An Leiting was imprisoned.
The guards guarding An Leiting were Fan Honghui's trusted guards. After receiving the order, they were all extremely alert and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
It was precisely because of this that Zhuo Dingsheng wandered around outside for three full rounds and still failed to find an opportunity to take advantage of.
Seeing that it was impossible to sneak in to visit An Leiting, Zhuo Dingsheng gritted his teeth and decided to go back for the time being and see if he could try his luck tomorrow night.
Just when Zhuo Dingsheng gave up and left, Yang Junyi appeared in front of him like a ghost, "Commander Zhuo, do you want to meet An Leiting?"
Zhuo Dingsheng was suddenly very embarrassed.
Fan Honghui had issued a strict order not to allow anyone to approach, but he came anyway, which was a violation of military orders.
But he did come here with this purpose. If he denied it, he would appear to be very hypocritical and irresponsible.
Zhuo Dingsheng didn't say anything, which was considered as his agreement.
Yang Junyi smiled and said, "Commander Zhuo, there is no need to panic. Commander Fan has ordered that no one is allowed to approach An Leiting. But if Commander Zhuo comes, he can visit, but the time cannot exceed one stick of incense."
The time of a stick of incense is neither too long nor too short, enough for two people to talk.
Zhuo Dingsheng was a little surprised. After a moment, he bowed to Yang Junyi and said, "Thank you, Commander Fan, and thank you, Commander Yang."
"Commander Zhuo, you're welcome." Yang Junyi raised his hand, signaled his subordinate to open the door, and made a "please" gesture.
Zhuo Dingsheng thanked him again and walked in.
At this time, An Leiting had heavy shackles on his hands and feet, and even a heavy yoke around his neck to prevent him from escaping or committing suicide.
Tied so tightly, An Leiting could hardly move. He could only sit on the straw mat, looking around fiercely with his eyes.
When An Leiting saw Zhuo Dingsheng coming in, he was very surprised, but also full of joy. He said in a hoarse voice, "You're here."
"Brother." Zhuo Dingsheng saw that in just two days, the commander of the wing, who was originally full of vigor and vitality, seemed to have aged by dozens of years. He looked haggard and embarrassed. He choked with sobs and his eyes were red.
"You are willing to call me big brother." An Leiting sighed, his face full of bitterness, "I'm afraid the others are just hoping that I will die sooner."
If he died, others would be able to get rid of the invisible shackles of An Leiting's old subordinates, and continue to get promoted, make money, and enjoy glory. "Others have no choice..." Zhuo Dingsheng argued.
Almost everyone has elderly parents and young children to take care of, so there is nothing wrong with being prudent and protecting themselves, for themselves and their families.
"You should stop speaking for those people. They are all fence-sitters without conscience. It is like this now and it will be like this in the future. Fan Honghui is proud now. If you treat him like me, you will know how miserable this world is!"
An Leiting shouted angrily to vent his emotions, paused for a moment and said, "Those people are so servile at this moment, I think Fan Honghui must be very proud."
"Yes." Zhuo Dingsheng nodded. "Commander Fan did not pursue anyone. He still assigned tasks as usual and prepared to resist Jin Weiguo. Everyone was excited and their morale was high. I think this battle will definitely deal a heavy blow to Jin Weiguo."
Defeat the Jin Weiguo and win a victory?
Wouldn't that further prove that Fan Honghui is extremely capable, making others feel that the Western Frontier Army would be better off without An Leiting?
How could this be!
An Leiting was extremely angry, his eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and he looked at Zhuo Dingsheng, "Gousheng, are we two brothers who have been through thick and thin together?"
Gousheng was Zhuo Dingsheng’s original name.
Just because he was weak and sickly when he was young, his parents asked someone to give him this name, saying that the name was rougher and easier to raise.
He lived with this name for more than 20 years until he met An Leiting.
At that time, An Leiting was just an ordinary captain. He recruited soldiers everywhere. After bringing An Leiting into the army, he taught him the art of killing the enemy little by little.
After that, the two brothers went through one battle after another, killing more and more enemies and gaining more and more military merits.
Squadron leader, squadron leader, battalion leader, city leader...
He started out by following An Leiting, and gradually became An Leiting's good brother and right-hand man. It was also at that time that An Leiting changed his name to Zhuo Dingsheng, in order to make him invincible.
Zhuo Dingsheng had long been accustomed to this name. When he suddenly heard the name "Gousheng", he seemed to have returned to the days many years ago when he and An Leiting had been through life and death together. His eyes couldn't help but become moist.
"Brother, we are brothers in life and death."
"Then would you be willing to do me a favor?"
"What's the deal?"
"A small favor..."
One stick of incense, Zhuo Dingsheng came out at the tail end of time.
When he came out, his steps were unsteady and his expression was very complicated, causing Yang Junyi, who was guarding outside, to frown slightly, "Commander Zhuo, are you okay?"
"Nothing, nothing." Zhuo Dingsheng hastily explained, "I just feel a little sad."
After all, An Leiting is Zhuo Dingsheng's superior, and he has been through life and death for many years. Now that An Leiting is dismissed and imprisoned, he will most likely face the misery of being beheaded after being sent to the capital.
It is natural for Zhuo Dingsheng to feel sad.
But Yang Junyi didn't say anything extra, he just bowed to Zhuo Dingsheng.
Zhuo Dingsheng returned the gift and left.
His steps were unsteady and erratic.
Yang Junyi raised his chin slightly.
It's night, ugly time.
This was the time when people were most sleepy, and the army would be setting out to meet the enemy soon, so everyone in the barracks needed to be adequately prepared. Therefore, except for the patrolling soldiers, everyone else was fast asleep.
