Fan Jin didn't expect to meet Fang Xiaoyu here.

For this Miss Fang, he has always been impressed.

How so? When Miss Fang followed General Fang into Beijing, she was just a doll. General Fang is a relatively approachable character, and he is very friendly to the people in the border city. Everyone also likes him, if he meets him on the street, the people will take the initiative to greet him, and also like to send him some fruits and vegetables, which means that the people respect the general who guards Beiyan from the bottom of their hearts.

And what he likes very much about General Fang is that he does not refuse the fruits and vegetables given to him by the people, he accepts them all with gratitude, and if he sees any problems and worries of the people, he will try to help as much as possible.

General Fang is a bookish general, who will be angry at trivial things in the eyes of other officials, and will reprimand soldiers who misbehave for the sake of the people.

I have heard that most of the officials in other places will accept bribes from others and give preferential treatment, but General Fang never touches those things, but acts fairly, and the people rarely complain.

And the reason why this Miss Fang made him remember clearly was because this Miss Fang was too wooden.

There are some unique festivals here in Beiyan, such as in the middle of June every year, Beiyan will hold a grand sacrifice ceremony. said that it was a ceremony, but in fact, it was just the people of Beiyan gathering in the border city. On that day, everyone would wear the most gorgeous clothes, paint beautiful makeup, abandon all worries and unpleasantness, gather on the street, guess riddles together, recite poems together, eat, drink and have fun together. Only this day. There is no sorrow, no pain, everyone vents to their heart's content. After that day, I will think about the difficulties in life.

Such days were actually conceived by the generals of the previous generation. At that time, Beiyan was poor, and the people were not having a good time, coupled with the frequent harassment of neighboring countries, which made a poor place like Beiyan even worse.

The last general was a rich child, and his father and brother seemed to be officials in the court. Only he joined the army. But the place he was guarding was so poor that the people didn't seem to have any expectation of life, not so much as people. It's better to be more like the walking dead. When a foreign enemy came to attack, even his soldiers were listless and unable to resist mentally, and that kind of lifeless atmosphere made the general suffer enough.

Thereupon. The hot-blooded general's head is hot. simply Tao Yinzi held a small sacrificial ceremony in the border city, and the reason why it was chosen on that day was because Beiyan seems to have a legend, and the legend is that this is a place where immortals ascend. And this sacrificial ceremony is to beg the gods to bless the peace of the people of Beiyan.

In fact, everyone knows it's a gimmick. Let's not talk about whether there are any immortals who have really ascended, and even if there are, what does they have to do with other immortals? Why should they bless them? But all this is not important, the general's purpose is just to mobilize the emotions of the people of Beiyan.

In fact. The general was considered a success, although he did not expect that so many people would participate in this so-called sacrificial ceremony. It almost caused a stampede, but fortunately, the soldiers evacuated in time and did not cause a major disaster. But this tradition was preserved, until later when a general took over Beiyan, such activities have been extended, but it is no longer the general who pays out of his own pocket, but the merchants of Beiyan who pool money together, because the merchants see business opportunities in it.

Gradually, the festival spread far and wide, and every year in June, many people would come from other places to participate in the carnival, which also made the merchants make a lot of money, and the scale became bigger and bigger.

Later, General Fang went to Beiyan to join the army, and climbed from a small soldier to the status of a general step by step, and the people of Beiyan liked him very much.

Back then, when General Fang was still a small soldier, every time there was a day of sacrificial activities, General Fang was assigned by the general at that time to maintain order on the street. Later, General Fang rose step by step and became the general who really guarded Beiyan, but he has always been approachable, and the people who chatted with him in the past still talk and laugh, and never dictate because of the difference in status.

When General Fang got married, many familiar businessmen and ordinary people went to congratulate him, and he was not a general at that time. Later, Miss Fang was born, and many people in the neighborhood hugged her, praising her for her long water spirit, and she will definitely become a great beauty in the future.

But later, Miss Fang lived up to her expectations, but it was just her appearance, she had a wooden personality, she didn't like to talk, she didn't like to go out, even if someone took the initiative to greet her, she was expressionless, and over time, everyone was too lazy to stick her cold ass with a hot face.

At that time, he had not met Miss Fang and herself. Until one year, there was another June sacrifice, the general had fun with the people, took Miss Fang, and held Young Master Fang, who was still a baby, to guess riddles with the people on the street. Because General Fang was born as a scholar and had brilliant writing, the puzzles one by one couldn't help him at all. For this reason, General Fang also won a lot of prizes, all of which were given to the people. At that time, Miss Fang of Mu Ne had been standing behind General Fang with a cold face, as if no matter how lively the scene on the street was, it had nothing to do with her.

That was the first time he had seen Miss Fang and herself. At that time, Miss Fang was still a child.

can make his impression of the other lady's eldest lady worse, and it is thanks to his prodigy brother-in-law.

His brother-in-law is a big ghost, and he has been smart since he was a child. Don't look like it's also a doll, but her personality is unexpectedly precocious.

I don't want to inherit the family business, I don't hesitate to push all the family business to him, an outsider, but also to aspire to join the army, and I admire General Fang very much, so I am familiar with military books, and I have made a volunteer since I was a child, and one day, I will go to the battlefield and kill the enemy with General Fang.

At that time, the family all took it as a joke and didn't take it to heart. But it didn't take long for General Fang to come to the door.

Although the family is well-known in the local area, they are only businessmen after all. Everyone knows what kind of position merchants are in such a world. Therefore, General Fang's personal visit to the door really flattered them.

What they didn't expect was even more unexpected. The reason why General Fang came to the door turned out to be because of Yuan Shu, his brother-in-law who had been like a little adult since he was a child.

At that time, General Fang said that Yuan Shu solved a long-insoluble problem for him and laid a victory for him. They all felt like they were listening to a story. Then, General Fang proposed to bring Yuan Shu into the army and set up a military division for him, and the family hesitated. It was the general who promised that he would never be allowed to fight on the battlefield until he became an adult, and only stayed by his side as a military advisor, and the family agreed.

After that, Yuan Shu began to travel frequently between the military camp and his home. Because of the protection of General Fang. He did not officially join the army, but every idea, every victory. As long as there is his credit, General Fang will remember them one by one, and he will be rewarded together when he becomes an adult in the future and really joins the barracks.

Also because of Yuan Shu. Their family's life in the border city can be regarded as wishful. The merchants who came and went were very polite to them. Even the generals praised Yuan Shu, and they were convinced.

And after that, one day, his brother-in-law suddenly spoke amazingly, and made an oath in front of everyone in the family that he would kill the enemy on the battlefield in the future, rise step by step, and gain enough status. Then he went to propose marriage to General Fang and wanted to marry Miss Fang.

He still remembers the embarrassment of his family looking at each other. The only impression they had of Miss Fang in their minds was that she was wooden and indifferent. To put it mildly, it's a dead face.

But his brother-in-law seemed to recognize Miss Fang. Since then, he has worked harder, and has come up with many ideas for General Fang in the army, and his prestige has become higher and higher.

But after a while, General Fang suddenly received a holy decree and was transferred to the capital.

General Fang's family naturally followed him to the capital.

After that, General Fang's family settled in the capital, and only General Fang would return to Beiyan, continue to guard the territory, and occasionally return to Beijing to see his family, but never returned to Beiyan with his family.

His brother-in-law was depressed about this, but he did not give up hope, and he was determined to get ahead, so that he could marry Miss Fang as his wife.

Until a few days ago, there were rumors that Miss Fang got married, and it seemed that she was married to the son of a prince, and his brother-in-law was locked in the room for several days, and he didn't go to the barracks, and he didn't go out of the door, and their family was worried.

A few days later, his brother-in-law finally came out of the room, looking like nothing had happened, what to do, but he was much more silent than before.

Until the country of quicksand raised an army to attack, General Fang returned to Beiyan, and then until General Fang was framed outside the city gate, seriously injured and fled. Everything sounds like it happened yesterday.

Until his brother-in-law was seriously injured and died of infection, he smiled and looked out the window, saying "I finally did something for you" and then closed his eyes. The family thought that he said it to the other general, but he felt that Yuan Shu seemed to have said this sentence to Miss Fang through time and space.

"I've finally done something for you. Saved General Fang. So die without regrets. ”

Fan Jin felt that his nose was sour. For a person like him who gets by and marries his current wife for the sake of being able to have no worries about food and clothing, such an unrequited effort makes him feel a little sacred, but a little stupid.

Fan Jin couldn't help but glance at Fang Xiaoyu, who had already become a big girl in front of him. This Miss Fang, who had always had a dead face and an expressionless face in his heart, seemed to have become different.

The only thing that hasn't changed is the face. That somewhat good-looking face. Although it had grown more or less changed, the contour of his face was still there, and he recognized it at a glance as the person his brother-in-law wanted to marry home.

Therefore, those truths that he learned from Yuan Shu's mouth, those truths that were completely blocked by the Northern Yan defenders, and those truths that he would not have said when he was going to bring them into the coffin, when he saw Fang Xiaoyu's face, he could no longer bear to speak.

From the moment Fang Xiaoyu went upstairs, Fan Jin had already guessed her identity.

Fan Jin hesitated for a long time, should the truth he heard from Yuan Shu's mouth be mentioned to Fang Xiaoyu? If you say it, will it affect the family's peace?

But in the end, he couldn't hold back.

No matter what the reason is, Fang Xiaoyu A woman dared to go to Beiyan in person, for him, this was a brave enough woman.

He suddenly remembered that Yuan Shu had mentioned before he died, saying that the person who was with General Fang seemed to be Miss Fang's current husband. He said that it was a good-looking man, but he didn't like to laugh or talk much, but he didn't have a big shelf, and he wouldn't be blind to anyone just because he was the son of the prince.

Yuan Shu said that the prince of An Wang had a cold personality, but it was not difficult to speak, and whenever he mentioned Miss Fang, he would show a gentle smile.

Yuan Shu said that he has a good looks, a good background, and seems to love Miss Fang very much, so he didn't lose unjustly, but he never regretted liking that person.

Fan Jin's eyes overflowed with sadness.

Perhaps in Miss Fang's eyes, Yuan Shu is just a passerby who once appeared in her life. She didn't know that there was a person who liked her since she was a child, and worked hard to climb up just to be qualified to marry her. I don't know how painful he was when the news of her marriage reached his ears. I don't know that when he met his rival and confirmed that he loved her, he willingly admitted defeat.

Yuan Shu hadn't mentioned his love for Miss Fang to General Fang, so he wouldn't mention it today.

If Miss Fang and that Prince An were happy enough, why did he let Yuan Shu be her burden?

But for some reason, when he heard Yuan Shu's name from Fang Xiaoyu's mouth, and when he learned that Fang Xiaoyu remembered Yuan Shu, he felt comforted for no reason.

At least! At least in this person's heart, Yuan Shu is not an irrelevant person who doesn't even have to remember his name.

It's wonderful. Yuan Shu.

"It turned out to be him. It turned out that he was no longer there. Fang Xiaoyu was a little sad. She remembered this person, but the impression was only superficial.

She didn't know that person had silently liked her for many years, she didn't know that she had saddened him for many days because of her marriage, she didn't know the sourness in his heart when he saw Ye Xici, and she didn't know that the last person he thought of when he was dying was actually her.

But she just felt sad. This feeling is very strange, even she doesn't know what it is for, but the sadness is real.

Fan Jin didn't speak. He saw Fang Xiaoyu's sad expression, and felt a little more comforted in his heart.

"You know me, and you know the purpose of my coming to Beiyan. Can you tell me more about what you heard from Yuan Shu? Fang Xiaoyu forcibly suppressed that sad emotion. The most important thing now is to find the whereabouts of her father and Ye Xici.

If what Yuan Shu said was true, then maybe they were all still alive.

Time is of the essence. They live more than anything else! (To be continued.) )
