"Don't panic, cousin, it's just a joke. Ruomei is the kind of woman who doesn't know what to do. Ruomei is not qualified to ask for that. Cousin, thank you for taking care of me these past few months. This time I came out of the mountain to Beijing to assassinate the old thief, although I didn't succeed, but I met you, which is already a great blessing. Ruomei is grateful. Zhang Ruomei said softly.

Fang Zi'an was stunned and said, "Why do you say these words again?" Wouldn't it be a matter of time for you and me to thank each other? ”

Zhang Ruomei said softly: "Cousin, listen to me. During this time, I also understood a lot of things myself, it turned out that I thought too simply, killing the old thief by relying on courage is not possible, it needs more planning, longer time to arrange. I used to think that I would cut off the head of the old thief with a sword, and I was happy to take revenge for a hundred years, but now I realize that I was too naïve. As my cousin said, if the old thief is so easily killed, is it my turn to kill him? He didn't know how many times he had died. ”

Fang Zi'an smiled: "I'm glad you can figure this out." This shows that you are mature. Grew up. ”

Zhang Ruomei smiled and said softly: "Yes, in the past few months, I myself feel that my mind has matured a lot. Not only in the assassination of old thieves, but also in other things. During this time with my cousin, my cousin taught me many things and benefited me a lot. ”

Fang Zi'an smiled: "I didn't teach you anything, but you came and took good care of me." Hey, what are we doing here? Do you flatter each other? There's no need for that. ”

Zhang Ruomei said: "What I said is from my heart, not a boast. Moreover, if I do not say these things today, I am afraid that I will not have the opportunity to say them again in the future. ”

Fang Zi'an stood up in shock and shouted, "What do you mean by this? What do you mean you don't have a chance to say it again? ”

Zhang Ruomei looked up at Fang Zi'an's handsome and resolute face, and said in a low voice, "Cousin, I'm leaving." ”

Fang Zi'an's eyes widened in astonishment and said, "Let's go?" Where are you going? ”

Zhang Ruomei said softly: "In the past three days, Ruomei left Lin'an Mansion to find someone, and that person was my father's old general, General Feng Liang. After his father's death, General Feng resigned and went home to farm. He lived at the foot of Xu Mountain in Jiaxing Mansion, and I went to look for him. General Feng and Uncle Xu had a very good relationship, Uncle Xu sent me to Wuyi Mountain, and when he left, he said that if he wanted to look for him in the future, I could go to General Feng to ask about the situation, and maybe there would be news about him. I'm here to find out about Uncle Xu......"

Fang Zi'an said in a deep voice: "Then you have inquired about the whereabouts of General Xu Qing?" ”

Zhang Ruomei shook her head slowly and said softly, "No." General Feng didn't know Uncle Xu's whereabouts, and the last time Uncle Xu came to look for him was eight or nine years ago. In the past eight or nine years, Uncle Xu has never been here again. ”

Fang Zi'an frowned and said, "Then why did you say you wanted to leave?" There is no whereabouts of General Xu Qing, where are you going? ”

Zhang Ruomei said softly: "Although there is no news of Uncle Xu, I learned another news by mistake, which is about my eldest brother." My eldest brother Zhang Rong, known as Zhang Diwan, do you remember? I told you. ”

Fang Zi'an nodded and said, "Of course I remember, didn't you say that you fled directly from the army after the incident, and there was no news?" Did you find him? ”

Zhang Ruomei said slowly: "Uncle Feng knows his whereabouts, when my brother left the army, hundreds of his subordinates followed him away. Some of them knew Uncle Feng, and some of them even went to Uncle Feng and asked him to help with some things. From this, Uncle Feng knew about their situation. My eldest brother left with hundreds of Yuejia soldiers in the Huaibei area. They remained in the fallen state capital. In the past ten years, they have crisscrossed the Huaibei land of the Central Plains, and the war with the Jin people has not stopped. They joined forces with several eight-character armies in the area of Taihang Mountain to form the Loyal and Righteous Eight-Character Army, with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and became a problem for the Jinren. My brother was promoted by them as the leader, and galloped with the loyal and righteous eight-character army, killing countless enemies, stirring up the golden people who could not swallow and sleep, and the voice was very powerful. ”

Fang Zi'an was surprised, he had heard of the Bazi Army, which was a rebel army in the occupied area. During the Jianyan period, the Jin army went south and quickly occupied half of the Great Song Dynasty. When Zhao Gou, the king of Kang, was exhausted and the imperial court had not yet organized an effective counterattack force, Hebei recruited a subordinate of Zhang to leave the army and enter the Taihang Mountains to establish a rebel army. It is said that all the soldiers in the rebel army engraved the words 'Serve the country with a naked heart and swear to kill the gold thief' on their faces to show their heart to fight to the death. You must know that once the face is engraved, there is no possibility of betraying the avatar, so this soldier and horse fought bravely and invincible, and soon opened up the situation. It effectively restrained the footsteps and rhythm of the Jin people going south. It played a great role in delaying the counterattack of the imperial court later.

Later, the Bazi Army followed Wang Yan and was incorporated into the imperial court's soldiers and horses, but not all Bazi troops were willing to become officers and soldiers. Many of them refused to join the imperial court, and the sporadic manpower still held on to the occupied areas of the Central Plains to fight against the Jin people, and they never stopped. Zhang Rong, the son of Zhang Xian, should have formed the 'Loyal and Righteous Eight-Character Army' with some of the soldiers and horses in these eight-character armies, and fought within the Jin people.

"In today's situation, it's useless for me to stay in the capital. If I don't know my brother's exact whereabouts, and I know where he is, how can I not go to him? I'm afraid he's the only one alive in this world, and I have to go to him. Originally, I could have taken a boat north directly from Jiaxing Province, but I couldn't say goodbye. There are still some things between me and my cousin, so I came back this time to say goodbye to you. Zhang Ruomei said softly.

Fang Zi Anxin didn't know how to feel. He instinctively wanted to say something to stop Zhang Ruomei from going to her brother, but this was obviously unreasonable. Zhang Ruomei may only have such a relative alive, ten years of life and death, and now that she has learned the exact news, how can she not go to him for a reunion. After the Zhang family was destroyed, the two brothers and sisters should be reunited, and it would be unreasonable for them to stop them. However, Fang Zi'an couldn't give up Zhang Ruomei and left. Although they have only been together for a few months, Fang Zi'an is actually used to Zhang Ruomei's existence. There weren't too many sweet moments between the two of them, and it wasn't even until tonight that they really found out their love for each other. But as long as I saw the other person there, I felt a sense of peace of mind. And what Fang Zi'an is most worried about is actually the future after Zhang Ruomei goes.

"Ruomei, Brother Ling has definite news, this is indeed happy good news. Ling Zun is blessed by the spirit of heaven, and it is a great thing that your Zhang family has you and your brother alive. You're going to find your brother, and that's fine. Brother and sister reunion is the righteousness of family. However, your brother must be in an extremely difficult and dangerous situation in the dangerous place occupied by the Jin people in the north, although he has soldiers and horses. It's dangerous for you to go to the Northland to find him right now. Whether you can find them is unknown, but even if you do, don't you plan to stay there? Fang Zi'an said in a deep voice.

Zhang Ruomei nodded and said, "I know that it is not a peaceful place, it must be extremely dangerous." But the more this happens, the more I can't stay here, and I have to help my brother and help him. As for the danger, what is not dangerous for me and my brother? We are the thorn in the side of the imperial court, and the imperial court is not necessarily more merciful to my brothers and sisters than the Jin people. I know that my cousin is worried about me, and if I stay here, my cousin will protect me, but I can't feel at ease. Cousin, I am determined to reunite with my brother, hoping that he will understand my feelings. ”

Fang Zi'an silently looked at Zhang Ruomei and was silent, he saw the determination in Zhang Ruomei's eyes. She must have thought it through.

"Ruomei, in that case, what else do I have to say? You've made a decision, and I can't stop you, let alone force you. I'm not in a position to ask you for anything. Fang Zi'an sighed.

Zhang Ruomei stepped forward slowly, stretched out her hand and gently hooked Fang Zi'an's neck, and said softly: "Cousin, Ruomei is very willful, isn't she?" In fact, if Mei is the most reluctant to let go of you, it is you. So Ruomei must come back to say goodbye to you and make it clear to you. You have a great future ahead of you, and you will do something in the future. If Mei stays here, it won't help you, but it will affect your future, after all, my identity can't be exposed. Qin Hui's dog thief is also eyeing you, and sooner or later they will find out my identity here. ”

Fang Zi'an smiled bitterly: "This is not a good reason, and I am not afraid of this." ”

Zhang Ruomei smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Of course I know that you are not afraid, otherwise you would not have taken me by your side." But I'm afraid, I'm afraid I'll hurt you. I'm afraid I'll delay you. ”

Fang Zi'an frowned and said, "If you leave because of this, it will make me feel uneasy." ”

Zhang Ruomei said: "Don't be angry, these are just some of the reasons, the main thing is that I have to go to my brother, our brother and sister must be reunited, I think my father and mother in the spirit of heaven also want our brother and sister to reunite and support each other." ”

Fang Zi'an sighed softly, feeling quite uncomfortable in his heart.

"Cousin, don't you think I'm not uncomfortable, I'm really reluctant to leave you, I like you, you know. I hope to stay with you every day, grow old together, and never be separated. However, some things may not work out as expected. Don't worry, I will never forget you, you are the first man I Zhang Ruomei fell in love with, but also the last. A man like you, after I am gone, there will be good women who like you, love you, and take care of you. I can rest assured, too. Even if I am far away from the ends of the world, my heart is still thinking of you. Cousin, I ...... I...... At this moment, my heart is really like a knife. ”

Zhang Ruomei spoke softly, and the tears in her two big eyes rolled down and fell onto Fang Zi'an's hand, which was hot and hot.
