Chapter Eighty-Seven: Secretly Out of Beijing
I didn't expect a trip to the solemn temple to be so hurried, and when I returned to the general's mansion, it was already noon on the second day.
Fang Xiaoyu was a little sleepy and stayed by Fang Jianzhang's side to prevent anyone from approaching, especially Mei Suxi, who came again and again, and was rewarded by Fang Xiaoyu again and again.
Mei Suxi was not so kind about Fang Jianzhang's safety, she heard that Fang Jianzhang was seriously injured and dying, and she was afraid that her son's entry into Fang's family tree would be hindered after he died, so she wanted to persuade Fang Jianzhang to settle the matter before he died.
Fang Xiaoyu didn't have the leisure to care about these things, so he simply couldn't see it, and refused everyone's visit on the grounds that the general was injured and needed to recuperate.
The assassination scene directed by the emperor is seriously injured, I am afraid that there is some plan, the less people know about Fang Jianzhang's fake injury, the better, so even if it is Fang Haozhi, Fang Xiaoyu did not let go.
Hiding in Fang Jianzhang's room, nominally to take care, but in fact he leaned on the table and fell asleep.
There was an assassination in the solemn temple, and the target of the assassination was still the emperor, even if the solemn temple was a century-old temple, it had to bear most of the responsibility.
Originally, the emperor planned to co-star in a play with Master Kong, but when he found out that Master Kong was fake, Fang Xiaoyu had already handed over a message to the emperor and asked him to be careful, so in the end, he didn't even say anything, and directly acted in this play with Fang Jianzhang.
At this time, the solemn temple has been temporarily closed, and it is said to the outside world that the emperor was assassinated in the temple and needs to investigate the truth of the matter, so even if there are believers who have complaints, they dare not announce it again.
Originally, Fang Xiaoyu thought that this trip to the Solemn Temple was for the emperor to test her, but now it seems that the temptation of her is just incidental, from the beginning, the emperor went to the Solemn Temple with a purpose, and this purpose, Fang Jianzhang may be very clear, but because it involves court affairs, and since he was a child, he has the idea that women are not involved in the court, so he has not said it.
"Dad, what is the purpose of you pretending to be injured? If you don't hide this from me, what do you need to hide from me? Fang smiled boredly and played with the lid of the teacup.
Fang Jianzhang was wrapped like a mummy and lay on the bed, thought about it, and finally said, "I want to leave Beijing." ”
"Out of Beijing?" Fang Xiaoyu looked at Fang Jianzhang suspiciously, and asked, "What are you doing in Beijing?" Where are you going? ”
"Fox Wolf Grassland." Fang Jianzhang's eyes were dark.
I see.
The people of the fox wolf grassland have gone deep into the territory of Dacheng several times, and used the fact that they look like Dachengren to lurk in it, which is already considered a bad plot, and it is an extreme provocation to Dachengguo, as an emperor, there is a problem with being able to endure it. What's more, this time, the people of the fox wolf grassland intensified even more, not only assassinating the emperor on the road to Baoxiang Mountain, but also replacing Master Kong as the host of the solemn temple. For the emperor who believed in Buddhism, what the people of the fox wolf grassland did was an extremely blasphemous act against the Buddha, which made the emperor even more determined to get rid of the fox wolf grassland.
"So, Dad, you pretend to be seriously injured, but in fact you want to secretly leave Beijing?" Fang Xiaoyu had already guessed the truth of this assassination.
Fang Jianzhang is the great general of Dacheng Town, sitting on 500,000 soldiers and horses, which is a well-known name among several surrounding countries, his every move will be noticed, if he goes out of Beijing with great fanfare, and is spied on the secret, then the people of the fox wolf grassland are likely to prepare in advance, and even fight back to the death, causing unnecessary casualties.
If this is the case, then simply pretend to be seriously injured and recuperate at home, so that it becomes a matter of course not to go to court or go out.
No wonder this matter was not hidden from her. Because Fang Jianzhang secretly went out of Beijing, there needs to be someone in the family to cooperate with him to play this scene. If someone breaks through that Fang Jianzhang is not in the capital, and the news leaks, maybe the consequences will be unimaginable.
Not only the people of the fox wolf grassland, but even other countries such as the Great Yu Dynasty may also be involved. The relationship between the General's Mansion is more complicated, and it is inevitable that there will be extraneous branches, and her survival is a must.
"Yes, it's just that I need someone in the family to be with me. Haozhi is too young to take on a big responsibility, and Jinyi's identity is not enough for her to protect this place from being disturbed. As for Mei Suxi, she is a person from the Prime Minister's Mansion, she is not credible, and she must be on guard. If you were the same as you were in the past, you would not dare to entrust such an important matter to you. But now I know your abilities, and the emperor knows it, so I chose you. Fang Jianzhang smiled and looked at his daughter, who had grown up, and said: "It is the glory of a courtier to be able to do things for the emperor, and with today's incident, you can also leave a good impression in the emperor's heart, and you may be able to be pointed out as a good person in the future." ”
Fang Xiaoyu really wanted to send out a beautiful white eye again, these ancient people were really, how could they talk about everything and have to rely on the matter of getting married?
Why do women have to rely on marrying a good man to measure the value of their existence?
Forget it, Fang Xiaoyu didn't bother to argue. Both men and women, people who grew up in this era have been instilled with such ideas since childhood, and over time, they have been brainwashed. The open-mindedness of a person like her, who has been through many worlds, is not accepted.
Although she is not interested in marrying, she is not very repulsive. It doesn't matter if she marries or not, even if she marries someone in the future, she will not ask for anything stupid like monogamy, which is deviant and jealous in the eyes of men in this era.
Her husband, if he can be consistently good to her, then she will give him the same consistent goodness, if not, then let him be, he will find as many women as he likes, as long as he does not challenge her status as a wife, and the rest is arbitrary. If there is someone who is not long-eyed, she has to find a way to die, she is too lazy to calculate and calculate, just be simple, just destroy it directly, anyway, the concubine is not worth much in this era.
She didn't believe her future husband could beat her, so she wasn't worried about being settled in hindsight. It's good to make it clear before getting married, and if you say hello in advance and make a mistake, then you can't blame her for being ruthless.
Fang Xiaoyu felt that she could think about it, instead of being the enemy of the rules of an era, it was better to use the rules and seek ways to make her live freely within the rules. At least it's trouble-free, at least it's safe.
"Dad, when will you leave Beijing?" Fang Xiaoyu asked.
"The sooner the better." Fang Jianzhang was worried about how to leave unnoticed. It is said that it is best to leave at night, and it is too conspicuous in broad daylight.
"Xiao Suo is going to follow?" Fang Xiaoyu seemed to be thinking about something.
"He stayed." Fang Jianzhang shook his head and said, "He has been following me, and everyone who knows him knows that he is inseparable from me." If he stays, people won't suspect that I'm gone. ”
Fang Xiaoyu nodded and said, "The group of people I trained a few days ago are almost time to leave the division, and I will send a few people to go with you, father." Dad, don't underestimate them, after all, it was your daughter and I trained it myself, and it may not be worse than Xiao Suo, Dad, you can take care of it a little bit. I will ask them to leave the capital first and make peace with you outside the city. Most of these people are credible, but they can't be trusted, after all, people's hearts are unpredictable, but they are much more trustworthy than your own secret guards, at least there will not be too many prime ministers. ”
As he spoke, Fang Xiaoyu walked to Fang Jianzhang's bedside and said with a smile: "However, Dad, you don't have to choose to go out of Beijing at night." Even if it's a blue sky and a white day, a swaggering departure is. ”
"Oh? What's the head? Fang Jianzhang was curious. My daughter is a jack of all trades, she knows everything, and she knows everything.
Fang Xiaoyu shook his head and said, "I don't have anything to say, it's just some small means that are not on the stage." When the time comes, I will give my father a disguise, and you can leave the capital in a grand manner, and no one will doubt it. After leaving, I found someone who was a little similar to my father's body and lay on the bed pretending to be sick, and went out to hang around a few times, as long as I didn't come into contact with acquaintances, I wouldn't be recognized. ”
"Will you still be disguised? Can Dad also learn? Fang Jianzhang was really surprised where her daughter's skills came from, it seemed that she could do everything overnight. However, the art of transfiguration is simply a terrifying means for people like them who need to scout in wars all year round, and if they learn it, it is almost impossible to calculate how many unnecessary casualties can be reduced.
"Well, I think it's useful, I learned from Ye Xi." So Fang Xiaoyu sold Ye Xi again.
"Ye Xici? It's this kid again! When did you two secretly meet again? I told you that this kid is a mess, and he dares to openly seduce my Jianzhang's daughter! Don't let me see him, or I won't kill him!" Fang Jianzhang's Guardian Demon Mode was forcibly turned on, and the whole person was angry, looking a little ghostly, Fang Xiaoyu didn't feel a shudder.
Fang Xiaoyu had a few black lines hanging on the door of his head, and he was a little speechless. She wanted to say, Dad, it's the son of King An, right? Although the family is a mess, and it is accompanied by all kinds of killing dangers, as long as people are lucky and don't die, they will be Prince An in the future! You are a general, you go to fight the future prince, or a future prince who is particularly loved by the emperor, don't you want to die?
didn't want to argue with his father about this inexplicable question, so Fang Xiaoyu forcibly pulled the bandage on Fang Jianzhang's body and said, "Are you still learning?" ”
Fang Jianzhang saw his daughter's eyes staring at him like a fool, so he touched his head and smiled: "Learn!" If you don't learn in vain, you don't learn! ”
"Then you'll have to leave later, Daddy. It's complicated and not enough time, it's simple, with your IQ, I'm afraid it will take three or five days to barely learn, and then you can figure it out by yourself, and it's almost the same. Fang Xiaoyu smiled and winked at Fang Jianzhang.
Fang Jianzhang had a loveless face, and made Fang Xiaoyu laugh. was given his IQ and mind by his own daughter, which was a big blow to him, a person who once aspired to be the champion and later became a general.
Fang Xiaoyu took a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, wrote down all the essence of the disguise technique, and focused on some key points, allowing Fang Jianzhang to study them by himself.
Fang Jianzhang was like a child who had gotten a toy, and he loved this magical disguise technique very much, and just as he was holding the paper Fang Xiaoyu gave him and looking at it seriously, there was a knock on the door outside.
Fang Jianzhang immediately turned back into a mummy and lay down, his face slightly distorted, indicating that he was now seriously injured.
"Come in." Fang Xiaoyu's face didn't change. Listen to the footsteps to know who is coming.
With Fang Xiaoyu's permission, the door was gently pushed open, and the person who came crept seemed to be afraid of disturbing the general's recuperation, and whispered to the other party with a smile: "Miss, Mei Chunshui is here." ”
"Mei Chunshui?" Fang Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then said, "What is she doing here?" ”
"She said she was here to see Madame." Xie Yu's face was not good-looking. She didn't know about Mei Chunshui's alliance with her own young lady, so she didn't have a good impression of the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion who had disturbed the general's mansion.
Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "That's right." She and his wife went out of the Prime Minister's Mansion together, although they did not have much contact, but after all, Mrs. is her aunt, and now Mrs. is not comfortable in our General's Mansion, and it is normal for her to want to meet her mother's family. ”
"But Miss, who knows what they will say when they are together, if there is any conspiracy......" Since Sizhu and Moji came back with them, Xie Yu seems to be more worried. Fang Xiaoyu knew that she was worried, the silk bamboo and the ink marks were all martial arts, and it was very useful to follow her, Xie Yu gradually felt that there was not much she could do, and her heart became more and more anxious.
"It's okay, just find someone to keep an eye on." Fang Xiaoyu wasn't too worried.
Mei Suxi used to be a willful and domineering person in the Prime Minister's Mansion, unlike Mei Chunshui, she is really loved by the Prime Minister, so she is a real daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Mei Chunshui, an outcast, is one heaven and one place.
Later, Mei Suxi insisted on marrying a businessman, which greatly damaged the face of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the Prime Minister was furious, and actually broke off relations with her and never communicated again.
The relationship between Mei Chunshui and Mei Suxi has never been very good, and there is more than one concubine in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but Mei Suxi is the only one who is the only concubine, Mei Chunshui's biological father, Mei Zhongyan, who is also the prime minister's sister-in-law, has not been angry with his sister.
After Mei Chunshui was born, he was soon identified as an abandoned son. But she was still a baby at that time, so she naturally didn't know that she had invisibly become a pawn in the hands of others. The love of the prime minister and Mrs. Yu, the care of her parents in the palm of her hand, the compliments of the maids and servants in the house, and the courtiers and families outside, all made Mei Chunshui feel that she was the most favored person in the prime minister's mansion.
But Mei Suxi's name always appears, for a child, there is a person who competes with her for the favor of adults, and this person is older than her, it is her aunt, she has a special dislike for Mei Suxi.
Although he didn't show it much, Mei Chunshui and Mei Suxi hardly had much contact. This time she suddenly came to the mansion to see Mei Suxi, and Fang Xiaoyu was a little looking forward to what she wanted to do.
"Explanation, go make me a pot of tea again, go to the temple for two days, don't get meaty, it's really uncomfortable. The tea brewed by Xie Yu is delicious, and by the way, I will make a few more plates of snacks, and the general will use some when he wakes up. Remember, make something delicate and easy to swallow. Fang Xiaoyu raised the teacup in his hand and commanded.
As soon as Xie Yu heard Fang Xiaoyu say this, he immediately rejoiced and said, "Yes, Miss, the slave will do it." The slave maid made a cup of chicken soup and brought it to the young lady by the way, so as to replenish her body. With a smile on his face, he pushed the door and went out, trotting all the way to the kitchen.
Fang Xiaoyu glanced at the door, she thought, maybe it won't be long before Mei Chunshui wants to see her. (To be continued.) )
