Chapter 22: Growing Old with the King (12)
"Dad, why are you here, auntie?" Fang Xiaoqin looked at them in astonishment, she was still thinking about how to contact her father and mother before, but she didn't expect them to appear.
"It turned out to be Gonggong Liu, what crime did my daughter commit, does the emperor need to go to such great lengths?" Lord Fang looked at Gonggong Liu with a displeased expression.
"It turned out to be a retired Lord Fang, and the slave just came by order to invite your daughter and your grandson into the palace, it's not that your daughter has committed any major crime."
Gonggong Liu looked at the surroundings and suddenly surrounded them in the direction of darkness, although some of the forces behind the Fang family in the past were used by the emperor, some were beaten to pieces, and some of them actually followed the Fang family.
Gonggong Liu suddenly felt that his men and horses seemed to be weak, and he was very polite.
"Xiaoqin, Xiaoqin, hurry up and come to Daddy." Master Fang hurriedly beckoned to the two of them.
"Can't go." Suddenly, a silvery white light flashed in front of the two of them.
Before Fang Xiaoqin could raise her head, she felt a murderous aura rushing over.
"Grandpa Liu, they are the best hostages at this time, how can we let them go?"
Gonggong Liu glanced at the guard, "This is the Fang family's territory, do you think we can get out of here alive with their daughter?" ā
He has followed the emperor for many years, how can he not know the meaning of the forces behind the Fang family? If there is another conflict with the Fang family at this time, I am afraid that those who originally returned to the sect will rebel because of this.
Now that there are Ling Zheng and Qi Yun in the west, and there is a mysterious valley in the south, how could the emperor let himself lose a good helper?
Lord Fang hurriedly clapped his palms and deliberately praised: "Gonggong Liu deserves to be the chief manager, such a reasonable person. Although I am a mustard queen, we are also righteous people, let go of my daughter and grandson, I will naturally give you a way out. If you really want to go against me, then we'll have to burn everything. ā
Master Fang raised the packet of medicine in his hand, the corners of his mouth hooked, he pointed to the packet of medicine, he didn't make a sound yet.
Mrs. Fang changed his place to speak, "My lady is not a fuel-efficient lamp, what Lord Fang is holding in her hand is a poison that has disappeared for a hundred years, colorless and tasteless. This medicine is only available in the Fang family, and when we appeared just now, it had already been disseminated. ā
Gonggong Liu originally thought that he still had a slight chance of winning, but he didn't expect to encounter a plot, his face changed, and all kinds of bad tastes came to his heart.
"Fang family poison, why hasn't the old slave heard of it?" Gonggong Liu asked himself if he knew everything about the rivers and lakes, and he didn't expect to encounter a colorless and tasteless poison.
"Our Fang family has never used this kind of poison, because we are dedicated to the emperor, I have helped the emperor so much, and he will kill me completely. If I had brought this medicine to the emperor, then the royal people would have already ......" Lord Fang glared at Gonggong Liu viciously.
As the saying goes, if people don't offend me, I won't offend people, these poisons have been treasured for hundreds of years and have not been used, and the world has long forgotten them.
"Daughter, hurry up and take the antidote." Mrs. Fang directly stuffed the antidote into their mouths.
"I see." Gonggong Liu had a feeling of sudden realization, and at this time, he didn't know that it was the effect of the poison, his stomach began to roll, and suddenly a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"You've been hiding here, haven't you? But how did you calculate so well that you would come to meet your daughter? ā
Gonggong Liu's brows furrowed, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
He couldn't figure this question through, how could Lord Fang calculate the time?
"For your death's sake, I will fulfill you." The corners of Lord Fang's mouth lifted, and a big laugh also exhaled.
"Gonggong Liu, you still have a little friendship with the Fang family, if our brother's life is buried here today, I am afraid that your wisdom will be ruined."
"Grandpa Liu, I was just unintentional just now, I didn't plan to hurt them at all, it's just that everyone is trying to survive. Lord Fang, please see that everyone is working for the emperor, bypass us once. ā
"Yes, Lord Fang." Hundreds of soldiers began to intercede.
How could Lord Fang be that kind of cruel person, he glanced at them, and then smiled.
"My party has always done things with revenge and grievances, and you have offended me today. I'm not a cruel person, but I don't necessarily want others to disturb our family's secluded life, what better do you give me if you want to live? ā
"What do you mean?" The crowd was puzzled.
"Leave the emperor, and stay away from the world from now on."
Originally, Fang Xiaoqin thought that Lord Fang wanted them to lose arms and legs, but she didn't expect such a request, and she began to admire Lord Fang's mind in her heart.
"We ......" Many soldiers focused their eyes on Gonggong Liu's body in unison.
"You haven't told me yet, are you ready for it?"
The doubts in Gonggong Liu's heart have not been resolved, and it is impossible for him to let go.
"Father-in-law Liu is really a person who does things from beginning to end, which Fang admires." Lord Fang showed an appreciative look, and then he helped the powerless Liu Gonggong to the stone on the side.
"Say it."
"Actually, the prince made us prepare, in case his guards were killed, we could help. What are you going to do with this eunuch? ā
Master Fang stood aside and explained.
"Oh." Fang Xiaoqin originally guessed that she didn't show surprise, she immediately glanced at Gonggong Liu.
"He's not bad, he's just doing things for the emperor, so don't embarrass him. Grandpa Liu, let's go, when we've never seen you, you haven't seen us. The people of our Fang family will live in seclusion here from now on, and they will not compete with the emperor. ā
Fang Xiaoqin just felt helpless, it wasn't that Gonggong Liu was a heinous person.
"But if we let him go, will the emperor let us go?" Lord Fang lowered his eyes and hurriedly asked, Gonggong Liu is the emperor's person, and his methods are very vicious.
"Daughter, you have to think twice, if we let him go, if he comes to the door in the future, our peaceful days will be disturbed, and we may be ......" Mrs. Fang felt that it was inappropriate and persuaded her.
Fang Xiaoqin exhaled deeply, then squatted down and sat down beside Gonggong Liu.
"Father-in-law Liu, we have worked together before, you know my temperament. You're a person with a conscience, so I'm really not going to let them kill you, so let's go. Don't come back from now on, otherwise the people of our Fang family won't be so easy to bully. ā
first soft and then hard, she didn't believe that Grandpa Liu would not understand things.
"You ......" Gonggong Liu raised his eyes slightly, "Although the old slave fell into your hands, but Fang Xiaoqin, I remember your kindness, and I will definitely return it to you in the future." I am the emperor's person, I must know how the emperor can do things, if the emperor lets the slave come again, the slave will definitely come again. ā
can only be said to be a foolish loyalty to describe Father-in-law Liu, Fang Xiaoqin has already untied the rope on Father-in-law Liu at this time.
"You go, I can let you go today, then I won't show mercy to him in the future." Fang Xiaoqin suddenly stood up, and she turned to beg Lord Fang.
"Your father-in-law Liu, I already plan to let it go, and I won't embarrass you, after you go down the mountain, don't appear here again. Otherwise, I won't be merciful next time. I don't care if you go back and continue to serve the emperor, but I advise you not to be attached to power and do what you should do. ā
Fang Xiaoqin spoke loudly, although she didn't know what these people's final decision was, but at this moment she really needed to sue them.
"Thank you, Princess, thank you, Lord Fang." The crowd hurriedly saluted.
"Okay, after you send them down the mountain, give them the antidote." Lord Fang handed the antidote to his personal guard.
"Princess, the old slave will naturally choose to go his own way, but if he meets again in the future, the old slave will never ......" Although Gonggong Liu is a person who practices martial arts, but at this moment, because he is too excited, his mind is a little unclear.
"Daughter, I hope we can do it right this time." Fondaren sighed, he was really not sure that these people would hurt them again in the future.
"Hopefully, Daddy." Fang Xiaoqin patted Lord Fang's shoulder.
"By the way, in fact, we were able to come here this time entirely because of the prince, he was worried that the emperor would deal with you, and he had planned this for a long time. Actually, you ...... daughter."
Seeing that the matter had been resolved, it was time for him to persuade Fang Xiaoqin.
Fang Xiaoqin's original face sank a little, and she shook her shoulders to let Master Fang stop.
"Daddy, I don't want to talk about these things anymore. By the way, where do you live? ā
"We live halfway up the mountain, because we usually have to go to the market to buy some supplies, so it is inconvenient to live on the mountain. But we've got you covered. ā
"Really?" Fang Xiaoqin was stunned, wondering in her heart if this was also Shunyu's arrangement? Her heart tightened again, she didn't want to keep up with any of the relationship, why did he do so much?
"Let's go up first." Mrs. Fang saw that the wind was strong around her, and she built a yƬ road.
"Good. Good. ā
"Xiaoqin, you've lost a lot of weight, but anyway, you owe your sister ......" Mrs. Fang seemed to be a different person, she bit her lip, and seemed a little embarrassed and embarrassed.
"Mother, I know. I'm supposed to protect my sister as an older sister.,I didn't expect that my sister has always done so many things for me.,I won't forget my sister's kindness.ć ā
Fang Xiaoqin solemnly promised.
"What, we are sisters, why bother so much?" Fang Xiaoqin deliberately pretended to be displeased and gave them a blank look.
"Alright, let's go up first."
