Time flies.

It has been a full year since Guo Fan came to this world.

And he also fought all the way from the northern border of Daliang to this once prosperous place.

He was promoted from the first-class chief to the current second-rank general.

His cultivation has been integrated with five serious principles, and he is not a weak person in the previous generation of the Tiger Sect.

It's a pity.

Due to natural disasters and man-made disasters.

This led to chaos in several states such as Yunzhou and Ningzhou, with nine out of ten rooms empty, and no longer having the prosperity of the past.

"There is Tongming Pass ahead."

On the horse's back, Lu Gui reached out to wipe the sweat from his face and spoke in a hoarse voice: "Shopkeeper Su, are you all here?"

Next to him was the shopkeeper of the Su family, one of the four great masters in Lingnan.

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Su bowed and replied: "Return to General, it's already here, but Young Master Su Xun will lead the team himself."

"Su Xun..."

Guo Fan rushed forward and looked forward: "Let's go, I haven't seen him for a while."

Thanks to his rapid improvement in official positions, Su Xun's status in the Su family has also risen.

Thinking back to the beginning, Su Xun was a small Lingnan businessman who ventured to explore the market in the north of Daliang.

Nowadays, he is already an important figure in the Su family!

The team continues to move forward.

Soon, a huge city entrenched on the earth came into view.

Several miles away from the city, there are still camps scattered in each camp. A rough count is no less than 100,000 soldiers!

This is the place where the rebels gather. Except for the 20,000 soldiers led by Guo Fan, the other two groups have obviously arrived.

There are many merchants gathering around Yingpan, even forming a circle to form a simple market.

Among them, there is a caravan from the Su family in Lingnan.

"General Liu!"

Su Xun discovered the team early and rode a horse and galloped over with several people.

When he came closer, he turned over and jumped off the horse and handed Guo Fan a few letters to Mo Linglong.

"Miss Su's letter."

"Um."

Guo Fan nodded, and did not take it apart, and handed it to Mo Linglong.

After Su Manqi returned to Beijing, he has always been in contact with them, but Guo Fan is not very impressed with the words of love for his children.

However, what Su Xun brought was the focus of his concern.

"Have you brought everything I want?"

“Bringed.”

Su Xun's key point was: "All kinds of herbs, as well as three top alchemists, are all in the caravan."

"good!"

Guo Fan smiled: "I only have the longest herbs, you haven't forgotten them, right?"

The Pill of Zhuangqi Pill is a pill every seven days, and you cannot take it too much. Guo Fan can only think of the medicinal properties of the herbs.

As long as the herbs are old and high-quality elixirs are refined, one pill can offset two pills of inferior elixirs.

Accelerate internal energy practice in this way!

In addition to the qi pill he needed, there are also the tiger tendons and leopard fetal pills needed by his subordinates.

Secret medicinal ointment for various exercises.

This requires a large amount of medicinal materials, and this can be provided by Lingnan Sujia!

"Of course not."

Su Xun led the team forward: "There are a total of seventeen carats of herbs, and there are various tonics you need separately, so you can test it."

"Gongsun Yun."

Guo Fan waved to the back.

"Subordinate is here."

Gongsun Yun immediately rode his horse out.

Guo Fan signaled forward: "Take a few people over and take a look, pay the money and deliver the goods in the other."

"yes!"

"You are welcome, General."

Su Xun grinned.

During this year, he and Guo Fan's team traded continuously, including various herbs and other things.

Even the forbidden items in the military were smuggled.

The Su family earned a lot of wealth, which was also the basis for Su Xun's improvement in the family status.

"General."

Su Xun's thoughts turned and he leaned forward and said, "There are many rumors about you in the capital that are coming from the nearest place."

"Yeah?"

Guo Fan asked a little curiously, "What do you say?"

"You have unparalleled courage, comparable to a tyrant."

Su Xun smiled and said, "You are also said that you are the descendants of the dynasty who saw the difficulties of the country and specially enlightened him to protect the dynasty."

"You are from a national surname, and there are rumors in the market that you are a descendant of the people who were left by Emperor Wu."

"Oh……"

Guo Fan chuckled and shook his head.

The so-called Wu Emperor was the third emperor in Daliang. He was known for his unparalleled courage and strength, but the people had rich imagination.

However, his body is indeed named Liu, and it may be related to the royal family.

After all, the royal family is the most capable of giving birth.

Moreover, the clan mansion only includes the main personnel, so it has long been impossible to count how many royal families are trapped among the people.

"in addition……"

Su Xun pursed his lips and said with a little hesitation: "There are still some bad rumors."

“Not good?”

Guo Fan's expression remained unchanged: "Speak up."

"These are all circulating among the few people, so the general doesn't have to pay much attention to it."

Su Xun looked at Guo Fan carefully and said, "Some people say that General, you are bloodthirsty and are the root of troubled times. Once you grow stronger in the future, the harm will even exceed that of the Beirong people and the rebels."

"Um?"

Guo Fan frowned.

"Who said this?"

In the team, Gan Xingba looked red and said angrily: "How come the general has become the root of disaster when he suppressed the rebellion and killed the enemy?"

"If I know who made the rumor, if I don't slap his big mouth, the dog will not be able to spit out ivory!"

"this……"

Su Xun looked puzzled and lowered his voice: "Although there are few such rumors, as far as I know, most of them appear in the officialdom."

"Official world?"

Gan Xingba's hands holding the reins suddenly tightened: "There are those civil servants who can only talk."

"This kind of person should be killed to serve as a warning!"

When others heard this, they also showed murderous intent, which also made Su Xun's face bitter.

He could not have said this.

But as a supporter, he still hopes to wake up Guo Fan. It is not without reason to be a civil servant.

But depending on the situation, it seems to be of little use.

At this moment, he could only sigh in his heart, bow his hand and follow Gongsun Yun to count the medicinal materials.

"General."

At this time, Mo Linglong also put down the letter in her hand and drove her horse over.

"Manqi wrote to me and said that she found out that there was a prince in the capital with a spiritual turtle ball you want in his hand."

"Spiritual Turtle Ball?"

Guo Fan's eyes moved.

"Um."
