Chapter 20
The tiredness from the depths of his heart to his body permeated Ning Fan’s whole body.
He collapsed on the ground, not wanting to say a word.
“What a Ning Fan!”
But at this moment, Xiao Feng rode his horse to Ning Fan’s side, overlooking Ning Fan who was slumped on the ground, and said with a smile on his face.
Seeing this, Ning Fan hurriedly got up, and was about to speak, but was stopped by Xiao Feng’s head shaking.
“Okay, take a good rest, Ning Dutou is a role model in our army!”
After saying that, Xiao Feng turned and left.
Ning Fan sat on the ground again, lowered his head and panted, but suddenly he looked up and looked at Xiao Feng who was leaving, his eyes full of surprise.
What did Xiao Feng say just now?
Dutou?
In this battle, he was promoted from the captain to Dutou?
In an instant, Ning Fan felt full of strength. He got up from the ground, leaning on the blood-stained Tianhuang sword in his hand, and looked up at the dazzling sun.
He felt that today’s sun was particularly warm!
Dutou is a huge watershed in the army. When you reach the position of Dutou, you can be said to be a middle-level person in the army, and you are in charge of thousands of people.
In wartime, you listen to the deployment of the commander, and in peacetime, you can lead thousands of people under your command to garrison a city or border, and you will have great power.
At this moment, his blood is boiling.
Ning Fan looked at Xiao Feng’s departing back again. At this time, he had a complex emotion in his eyes.
Xiao Feng’s treatment of his subordinates is obviously better than Liu Futong.
Of course, all this is based on the premise that you must have merits, otherwise, no commander will look at a waste.
However, Xiao Feng gave people a very gloomy feeling, he was like a poisonous snake, maybe chatting with you with a smile on his face at this moment, and he could take your life the next moment.
In any case, Ning Fan’s road has taken another step forward.
With his promotion to the head of the city, his world is no longer limited to the battlefield, and he will also enter this real world.
Jianghu, family, court, and clan!
One by one, they will appear in Ning Fan’s world.
One battle will decide the outcome!
General Zhennan Xiao Feng led an army of 150,000 to attack the main force of Beimang, killing more than 60,000 Beimang troops, cutting off the Beimang banner, and winning a great victory.
This news spread wildly throughout the northern border, and then spread to the capital.
That night, in the Lord’s Mansion of Liangcheng.
Xiao Feng sat in his study, flipping through ancient books, while Ning Fan stood opposite his desk, waiting quietly.
After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Feng put down the book in his hand and looked up at Ning Fan: “Look at me, I’m so engrossed in the book, sit down quickly.”
Ning Fan was not polite and sat down carelessly, even if he had other ideas in his mind, he had to behave like this.
It is true that the superior needs his subordinates to be capable, but they also need their subordinates not to have so many thoughts. If they have too many thoughts, there may be changes.
“Ning Fan, you have made a great contribution in today’s battle. You cut off the big banner of Beimang, which boosted the morale of our army and allowed us to win this battle safely.”
“And you, who are only acquired, can tear apart the innate and have great power.”
“To be honest, even if you are the head of the city, you are a bit of a waste of talent.”
Xiao Feng said with a smile.
Ning Fan didn’t know which sentence was true and which was false.
“Following the general, even if I am just a small soldier holding a horse, I have no regrets.”
When saying this, even Ning Fan himself felt disgusted.
Xiao Feng’s pupils flashed with a gleam of light: “Talents like you are the pride of heaven no matter where you are. You can’t say such things anymore.”
As soon as these words came out, Ning Fan stood up and clasped his fists towards Xiao Feng.
“General, I was just a lowly person before. I followed Liu Futong’s army to conquer the south, and I was covered in blood, but he didn’t even look at me!”
“After that, he used me as a bait to put me to death. When did he care about my life or death?”
“If I hadn’t met you, how could I have cut down the banner of Beimang in the war!”
“If I had to choose, I would rather be a vanguard beside you than be a leader.”
“I only know how to charge into battle, and I really don’t know anything about marching and fighting.”
Ning Fan’s words were spoken with great sincerity.
Even Xiao Feng was stunned by what he said. The look in his eyes when he looked at Ning Fan also changed from a bright light to a satisfied soft light.
“A soldier who doesn’t want to be a general is not a good soldier.”
“With all your strength, being a soldier is a disgrace to your
”
“Now that you are the head of the city, you should do what the head of the city should do.”
Xiao Feng knocked on the table.
Ning Fan didn’t waste any words and clasped his fists in agreement.
“This battle should be fine before the New Year, and the Northern Territory can be stable for a few months. As the head of the city, you can’t stay by my side all the time.”
“I read the records of you in the Crime Department. Your family is in Ancheng, right?”
Xiao Feng continued to speak.
Ancheng is one of the many cities in the Northern Territory. Before the Ning family got into trouble, they were also one of the rich merchants in Ancheng, with a wealthy family and extensive connections.
After the incident, Ning Fan saw what it meant to kick someone when he was down.
“So, I plan to send you to Ancheng to guard it. What do you think? ”
Xiao Feng asked calmly.
Ning Fan’s eyes bulged, full of disbelief, but then a hint of red light quietly appeared in his pupils, and he nodded excitedly.
In theory, this huge northern border is under the jurisdiction of the King of Zhenbei.
But now that the border is in chaos, the 150,000 troops sent by Emperor Tiande must be stationed somewhere, so more than a dozen cities are temporarily assigned to Xiao Feng.
Ancheng is among them!
“After you go, you need to be careful and don’t act rashly.”
“Although you are a captain under my command, this northern border is still the King of Zhenbei’s after all.”
“Moreover, you have a grudge against his generals, so you must be careful. A gentleman’s revenge is never too late, so don’t dare to do anything impulsive!”
“If something happens… I can’t protect you. ”
Xiao Feng’s words were actually a reminder to Ning Fan.
This is the northern border, the headquarters of the King of Zhenbei.
You have a grudge against his men, but you have to bite your teeth and bear it.
“I understand!”
Ning Fan didn’t say any other nonsense, just these two words.
“Okay.”
“In that case, I will give you a thousand soldiers and horses, and you will go to Ancheng in two days.”
“Before the end of the year, there must not be any mistakes. Can you do it?”
Xiao Feng made the decision.
“If there is any mistake, hold me accountable!”
Eight simple words.
Xiao Feng was very satisfied with Ning Fan’s answer: “Do it well, maybe in the future, you may be able to go one step further and become my adopted son! ”
Adopted son?
Hiss, this bastard is really scheming!
After leaving Xiao Feng’s study, Ning Fan returned to his own residence.
Then, he could not wait to take out the rewards he got from this battle one by one.
If nothing unexpected happens, it will be another huge increase.
