When it comes to food, it is poured quickly, and it doesn't take much effort, and the table is already full of a few small dishes.

Fang Xiaoyu was absent-minded, she was multitasking, and she kept paying attention to the conversation of the seven or eight tables on the second floor.

"This battle has been going on for some days, but it hasn't improved at all." One of the guests at one of the tables, with only three people, said.

This person is dressed in some gorgeous clothes, and at first glance he looks like a rich family. The meals on the table have rice and noodles, vegetables and meat, although they have not reached the point of abundance, but they can be placed in the current Beiyan, which is definitely considered to be a good meal.

"Didn't you mean?" The other person also shook his head helplessly, and said with a discouraged face: "My home is in the border city, and now it is under the city by the quicksand national soldiers, but the generals defending the city are incompetent, and there is no way to stay there." As soon as the war began, I left the city with my family and stayed here for the time being, which was farther away from the battlefield and less affected. ”

"Hey, I'm afraid this Beiyan won't be able to stay. The quicksand country is just a small country, but I don't know what crazy it is, and it actually went out to invade Beiyan. Now I fled here, just to see if there is still salvation here, otherwise, I am afraid that I will take my mother-in-law and son to leave Beiyan and go to another place to start over. One person shook his head, looking at his expression and feeling a little reluctant to be here.

"It's hard to leave your homeland. My family has lived here for generations, and the business is all over Beiyan, and if I go somewhere else, I really have to start all over again. ”

"I finally waited for General Fang to come back, I thought that the little quicksand country could be destroyed, but I didn't want to, the general guarding the city actually had a disagreement with General Fang. This group of beasts who eat people and don't spit out bones, relying on General Fang's absence in Beiyan, actually pulled a group of people to try to seize the power of the general, and now I heard that General Fang's life and death are unknown, and I don't know if the general is okay. ”

"I almost forgot that you revere General Fang the most, and now that the enemy is present, they still have the leisure to think about civil strife." The speaker shook his head.

"How long has General Fang been in the capital? Why was Beiyan messed up like this? It's all to blame for the general's mistaken belief in the prime minister, leaving such a scourge, which is actually hollowing out the general's business for many years! Now the general's whereabouts are unknown. I don't know if it's life or death, which is really worrying. The person who admired Fang Jianzhang hated and gritted his teeth, obviously, Fang Jianzhang was even more interested in the prime minister. As many people know, it's no secret for a long time. When Fang Jianzhang temporarily returned to the capital after hearing the transfer, he didn't know what Mei Cangyun's face was, so he didn't take precautions and left Beiyan to the chess pieces arranged by Mei Cangyun to manage.

Later, he learned about the layout of Mei Cangyun, the old fox. hurriedly sent a message to his henchmen, and all the rights in the generals were withdrawn. He also thought that the matter was already under his control, but he didn't expect that his connivance had already made Mei Cangyun's chess pieces all over Beiyan, and when he wanted to deal with it again, it was too late, and even his henchmen had already betrayed him.

It can be said that Fang Jianzhang can have today, success is also Mei Cangyun, and defeat is also Mei Cangyun.

This person seemed to be really worried about Fang Jianzhang. When he was young, he planned to join the army, but he had no choice but to have a serious illness, and his dream of going to the battlefield was shattered. Later, his parents spent all their money to hire a miracle doctor for him and cured his illness, but his body was always a little weak, and he could not bear the fierce fighting on the battlefield. Coupled with the strong opposition of his parents, the matter was closed, and eventually he inherited the chamber of commerce left by his father and continued to do business.

But his reverence for Fang Jianzhang did not diminish in the slightest.

Whenever there is a time of war. Hearing the news of General Fang's victory, he danced excitedly as if he had gone to the battlefield. As soon as the Battle of Beiyan began, he didn't even think about leaving the border city. It was because he believed that even if General Fang was now in the capital, if he heard that Beiyan was in trouble, he would definitely return to Beiyan, continue to fight on the battlefield, and drive all those invaders out of the territory of Dacheng.

But what I didn't expect was a natural disaster and a great drought. Coupled with the hidden dangers left by the trust in the prime minister, General Fang came back, in his own army, on his own territory, but he was constrained everywhere, and in the end, his whereabouts were unknown.

His parents saw that the situation was not good, and forced him to leave the border city early and temporarily took refuge in this small city. But he always paid attention to the news of the Beiyan battlefield, but to this day, there is still no whereabouts of General Fang.

This frustrated him. I have already scolded the old thing of the prime minister more than a thousand times in my heart.

"General Fang is so brave, why did he impulsively propose to ambush the enemy general?" The other looked puzzled. There was a lot of rumors outside, and many people said that General Fang was taking 50,000 soldiers to start a new stove and hide in the shadows and wait for an opportunity. There are also people who say that General Fang took refuge in the enemy army, so the 'ambushed' general will arrive at the foot of Beiyan City unharmed.

Anyway, General Fang is missing. There are all kinds of rumors, and unfavorable rumors are flying all over the sky. How can these ordinary people get access to those things at the level of court officials, they can only passively look for what they can convince themselves to believe from so many messy rumors.

The chopsticks in Fang Xiaoyu's hand paused. She got some news from the conversations between the men.

First, one of these three people admired her family's general Fang very much.

Second, her father is indeed missing. At this point, that fake Ye Xici doesn't seem to be lying.

Third, after her father came to Beiyan, it seems that this place has changed. The original Zhenyuan army was set aside by the chess pieces left by the prime minister, and her father's disappearance is probably the plot of these people.

Fourth, Beiyan already has many rumors that are unfavorable to her father. Of course, her family's general Fang has guarded Beiyan for many years, and she is famous and known as the god of war, and most of the people are still trust-oriented. But the three of them become tigers, once the rumors break out, there will always be people who believe it, and if her father does not appear again, and no one clarifies for him, sooner or later, a spark can start a prairie fire, and no matter how good the reputation is, it is difficult to guarantee that it will be discredited by the methods of these filthy people. When the time comes, it will not be so easy to come back in vain.

However, at the same time, she also had a few doubts.

First, the prime minister's power is really so huge that it can easily overthrow the entire Zhenyuan army, so that all the forces brought out by her family's general Fang are betrayed?

Second, what is the purpose of the prime minister's choice to attack at this time?

If the city of Beiyan is broken, the enemy army is raging, and the people are killed, the general of her family, as the supreme general of Beiyan, will certainly not be able to get rid of it, but as long as someone has a heart, she can know that it is greasy, and then it will only involve the Prime Minister's Mansion, what is the benefit to her?

Third. Does Cheng really have so much energy? was able to hide the affairs of Beiyan without leaking, and even the emperor was almost deceived?

Fourth, since they have all been hidden, who is that fake Ye Xici? What is the purpose of him pretending to be Ye Xici? Why did she bring the news of her father's disappearance back to the capital?

Fang Xiaoyu felt a little confused. He always felt that there were a few threads that couldn't be connected well. But in a short period of time, she couldn't grasp the direction of these confused threads.

And her thoughts. Finally interrupted by a sentence.

The three people talking at that table did not expect that the concubine of General Fang in their mouth would sit at the table not far from them, and at this time, one of them stopped talking, as if he was hesitating whether to continue, and finally gritted his teeth and lowered his voice to the lowest. Then he beckoned the other two to come over and whispered: "Actually, General Fang did not disappear when he ambushed the enemy general, and there is another hidden secret. ”

"Oh? What's the secret? The other two pricked up their ears to hear what was going on. Especially the businessman who admired Fang Jianzhang very much.

The person who spoke looked a little indignant, but he still knew the severity of the matter, so he didn't raise his voice, but said in a more lowered voice: "Actually, General Fang led 50,000 soldiers as the vanguard and went out of the city to meet the enemy, and the enemy general was not an opponent at all. was beaten by General Fang and retreated, but at that time, the enemy army suddenly reinforced, and General Fang immediately made a decision, no longer in love, but commanded the soldiers to return to the city. But ......" The man gritted his teeth, and the teacup in his hand was almost knocked to the ground by him.

"But how?" The other two were anxious and wanted to hear what was going on.

This man did not sell the gate, but said angrily: "But the general who defended the city refused to open the city gate, and forcibly locked General Fang and the 50,000 army out of the city gate!" ”

"What?" The businessman who admired Fang Jianzhang slapped the table. He said angrily: "The other party's reinforcements have arrived, how can the 50,000 army fight against hundreds of thousands of enemy troops?" The general defending the city dared to refuse to open the city gate, he deliberately wanted to kill the general! ”

The other man was much calmer, just staring at the man who told the astonishing truth with a suspicious gaze: "How can you know these things? ”

The other gritted his teeth and said, "My mother-in-law's younger brother is one of the 50,000 soldiers brought by General Fang. The Japanese general was locked outside the city gates. With a division of 50,000 against the opponent's hundreds of thousands of troops, he fought his way out of the bloody way before he was able to leave. In order to be able to rescue General Fang from the tiger's mouth, the 50,000 army was almost killed and wounded, and although Fang Jianzhang escaped, he was also seriously injured. ”

"And where is your mother-in-law's brother now?" The other was still a little unconvinced. The guards of Beiyan were able to do such a heart-wrenching thing. But he vaguely knew that the other party's brother-in-law was indeed a soldier guarding Beiyan, and because of this, their family also had some say in the border city.

"Dead." The speaker's eyes were cold, and he said: "My brother-in-law was just a seventeen-year-old child, because he admired General Fang, he had to be a soldier, not to mention how happy he was when he was assigned to General Fang's account, and the entire border city that came back to shout knew that my family had a general's cronies." When Fang Jianzhang returned to Beijing, the kid stayed in the army, and when the general came back and went out of the city to face the battle, my brother-in-law was like a chicken blood, and the whole person was full of fighting spirit. There are enough kills for the first level of the enemy. But who knew that such a thing would happen. At that time, my brother-in-law was stabbed three times for General Fang in order to save General Fang, and when he saw the general escape from the enemy encirclement, he fainted with all his strength. The battlefield was littered with corpses, and he collapsed in a pile of corpses, and finally escaped. The two armies temporarily ceased fighting, cleaned up the battlefield, and carried the body back for burial, and then he thought of escaping, and the first thing he thought of was to go home first, and inform the people at home about it, but also to let us flee for our lives, lest they would be persecuted by these generals' cronies, so I took my family out of the city overnight and came here to hide first. ”

After this person finished speaking, his fists were clenched, and he finally said in a deep voice: "But my brother-in-law stayed, he said that he was going to find General Fang back, no matter what, life to see people and death to see corpses." But before he could really go to find General Fang, he was seriously injured and seriously ill, and he was already lacking in skills......

All three were silent at the same time.

"You have been hiding this matter for a long time, why do you want to say it now?" The merchant who admired Fang Jianzhang suddenly asked.

The man replied, "I have been hesitant. Knowing such a thing, I was frightened and afraid that I would be harmed. When I first came here, I tried to hide in the house and not come out, and I waited for a long time without news, so I felt a lot more relieved. But soon after, there were rumors from the outside world that General Fang was conceited and had to go out to ambush the enemy general despite the prince's opposition. Later, I found that in the border city, the guards were heavier, and they were only allowed to enter but not leave. ”

"How can you hide this kind of thing?" The other gritted his teeth, shocked by what the man had said. If these words are true, it is equivalent to the current guard of Beiyan who personally killed the lives of General Fang and 50,000 soldiers!

Damn it!

But the man smiled bitterly and said: "I, Fan Jin, am not a hero, I have been timid and afraid of things since I was a child. will play some clever, people can eat before and after, but there is no interest, there is no big ambition since childhood, and eating and waiting for death is the biggest wish. In order to get ahead, I joined the Yuan family, married my current mother-in-law, gave birth to two sons and a daughter, and lived a comfortable life, so I didn't have any ambitions. The second elder of the Yuan family has never been able to give birth to a son, only my mother-in-law has a daughter, so I have to recruit a son-in-law, but not long after I became a son, the second elder was pregnant again, and I had my brother-in-law. My brother-in-law has been a prodigy since he was a child, both civil and military, and he can't compare with a person like me. He can obviously inherit the family business and be a rich man with no worries about food and clothing, but he yearns for the battlefield, admires General Fang, and only wants to enlist in the army. You have probably heard that there is a child in my Yuan family who is a few years old, and when he was the size of a pea, he solved a problem for General Fang, and was admitted by General Fang exceptionally and became General Fang's military advisor. It's just that the general didn't allow him to go to the battlefield, and he was itching very much, and he was looking forward to growing up. But before he grew up, the general returned to the capital. Now I heard that General Fang was going back to Beiyan to fight, and Coke broke my brother-in-law. He said that now that he is grown up, he can go to the battlefield, and he can still go into battle with General Fang, whom he admires the most, to kill the enemy, and he has no regrets in his life......"

Fan Jin chattered, and the other two listened silently.

"Even if we know about this, what can we do for General Fang?" Several people clenched their fists, and their hearts were filled with unwillingness.

Now that they are forced to leave the border city and live in this small town on the outskirts of Beiyan, their family's business is delayed, and they are worried about every day, do they really not hate it?

Although the country of quicksand raised 500,000 troops to attack. But Beiyan originally had an army of more than 500,000 to defend it, why was it defeated?

If, if General Fang had not been persecuted......!!!

"I'm not a world-minded person. It's just a matter of living well on your own. If it weren't for today, if I weren't here, I'm afraid I'd rot this secret in my stomach and bring it into a coffin, and I would never mention it lightly. It's just ......" Fan Jin said, his gaze actually crossed the two people at the same table, and landed in the direction of Fang Xiaoyu, just in line with Fang Xiaoyu's gaze.

Does he recognize her?

This was Fang Xiaoyu's first reaction.

Fang Xiaoyu stood up with a smile and asked, "Your brother-in-law ...... But it's called Yuan Shu? ”

"Miss Fang still remembers?" Fan Jin also stood up and bowed respectfully.

"Yes. How will it not be remembered? I'm about the same age, but my brain is very good, and I can memorize books very well, and I can go beyond the paper and really use it on the battlefield. ”

Fang Xiaoyu had this person in his impression. The child named Yuan Shu is still a milk doll with a fleshy face, but he is a famous prodigy in Beiyan. At the beginning, I didn't know how my father found such a person, but after bringing it back, it was really amazing for the good wisdom. His idea has helped her family's General Fang win several battles.

I didn't expect to hear from this person here. But he is dead, which is a pity. (To be continued.) )
