Chapter 609: Many people are not to blame
Although he thinks differently, Fang Binnu is very confident, and his eyes are full of heat and madness, although he is trying his best to hide it, but this heat and madness are still keenly perceived by Duanmuqi, in fact, Duanmuqi felt that this person was different from the beginning!
"Why are you so confident? Just because you went to Yin Rui's place? Who are you, you should be from the Great Xia Kingdom, right? Duanmu Qi now attaches more and more importance to this Fang Binnu.
But Duanmu Qi was not hostile, because what Fang Binnu did was not harmful to the Nineteenth Princess. And Duanmuqi didn't leave immediately, but ordered a table of wine and food again, and sat down with this Fang Binnu to have a good chat. Fang Binnu was not stage frightened, and sat opposite Duanmu Qi with a straight waist.
"Humph! I know you're going to spy on me, but it doesn't matter. I don't need you to bother to investigate my details, I am the second son of the Fang family in Xiyuan City, called Fang Bin. I used to do things for King Wen. So I have known Yin Rui for a long time. It's not too much to visit, is it? Fang Binnu said very frankly. Because he knows that since he has begun to show his head, he will definitely be investigated, and there is nothing difficult to check his identity, those talented women and the people in King Wen's Mansion know him, and even the original Princess Wen knows himself.
"Oh? So you're back in the same place? Fang family, I think about it, it seems that I have been beheaded all over the house! Duanmu Qi raised his head and thought about it, and finally remembered that the two largest families in Xiyuan City were the Fang family and the Liu family, and now the Liu family can be described as proud, but in comparison, the Fang family is not so lucky. Because the Liu family was on the side of King Ming, and the Fang family was on the side of King Wen.
"Not bad! I was the only one of the Fang family who escaped, so I vowed to kill King Ming and Princess Ming! Of course, the Liu family will not let it go! Fang Binnu's face suddenly became hideous, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.
"Got it! But why did you throw yourself to Jalanga? After all, it's a foreign race, and if you defect to other princes, you seem to have more hope of helping you get revenge! Duanmu Qi asked a little strangely.
"Humph! It's not that I haven't thought about it, but in my opinion, it's unlikely, the eldest prince is brutal by nature, and there was a Murong Feng by his side at that time. His Royal Highness the Sixth joined forces with King Ming to divide King Wen's fiefdom, so it is impossible, no matter how I say it, I am also King Wen's advisor. As for the Seventh Princess, I originally wanted to go to the Seventh Princess, but since Ji Zhihui suddenly emerged, I broke off this idea. Later, it was King Zuo who found out about me, regardless of my identity, and left me by his side, so I was willing to be a slave and serve her! Fang Binnu was also honest and told Duanmuqi the truth.
"Huh! You are very smart, you are willing to be a slave, because you are afraid that those tribal leaders under Jialanga will reject and calculate you, and this slave status, they will not care! Duanmuqi nodded and smiled, and poured Fang Binnu full of wine.
"Not bad! I'm not from the Western Turkic Country, so I can only protect myself in this way! In fact, what I regret the most is that I didn't see the potential of the Nineteen Princesses at the beginning, and by the time the British King Zhu Xiaobao rose, it was too late to regret it! Therefore, Mr. Duanmu still has a unique vision! Fang Binnu took a sip of wine before he said with a little sigh.
He was not optimistic about the Nineteenth Princess at that time, nor was he optimistic about Zhu Xiaobao, because Zhu Xiaobao had no desire to compete for hegemony at all, but it was this Zhu Xiaobao who no one was optimistic about, but he recovered the Southern Zirui Kingdom within two years, and there were also great talents such as Duanmu Qi, Murong Feng and Tao Zhiqian around him, and there were even more who could fight habitually. That's why Fang Binnu sighed from this.
"Huh! Mr. Fang is also full of strategy! Isn't such a talent reused in front of King Wen? Duanmuqi smiled and waved his hand, although he was held a little by Fang Binnu, Duanmuqi still didn't dare to take this person lightly. On the contrary, I paid more attention.
"Alas! I have long reminded King Wen that even if he does not fight for the throne, he must be prepared to protect himself, let alone join forces with King Ming, but he will not listen to me at all, and in the end, his family will be ruined! Even our families are implicated! Fang Binnu's face was full of grief and indignation, he had both the affection of the monarch and the deep resentment towards King Wen, but more helplessly, because he had already seen that King Wen was not a material to compete for the world, but only a free prince.
"It's a pity, if King Wen could listen to your advice, although he couldn't dominate, he wouldn't be defeated so quickly......" Duanmuqi also sighed a little, too greedy for comfort. But Duanmu Qi then asked: "Mr. Fang, there is still one thing about the old decay, I don't know if to ask?" ”
"Huh! You mean that I went to visit Yin Rui's talented girl, right? I'm going to say it's just recalling, can you believe it? Fang Binnu had long known that Duanmu Qi would ask this question, so he smiled instead, and raised his wine glass to make a toast.
"Please!" Duanmuqi was a little embarrassed, so he had to take a drink, and then said, "Of course I don't believe it, that's why I asked." ”
"It doesn't hurt to tell you! I asked Yin Rui to bring a letter to His Highness Six, which was written by my master to His Highness! As for the content of the letter, I don't know! Fang Binnu still told Duanmu Qi very plainly.
"Oh! Thank you for telling me frankly, but it seems too early for you to say that the king's death is coming soon, right? King Ming's strength is not weak now! Although we are stationed in Xiyuan City, we have no intention of being an enemy of King Ming! Duanmuqi was also very frank, explaining that he would not go to war with King Ming.
"Huh! Mr. Duanmu, how about we make a bet? Within a month, King Ming started a war, no matter who the opponent is, it is me who wins! If it's more than a month, and King Ming hasn't moved here, even if I lose! Let's bet ten taels of gold, what do you think? Fang Binnu suddenly said with a slight smile.
"Oh? This bet, the old decay took it! A war in a month is impossible! Duanmuqi's heart was shocked, but he still said confidently.
"Then wait and see!"
"Good! See! ”
……
Fang Binnu woke up the next day, carefully recalled the conversation with Duanmuqi yesterday, and regretted it a little, as if he had said too much! But after thinking about it again, it doesn't matter if Duanmu Qi knows something, his target is mainly King Ming. There is no need to worry about Jialanga, because there is no one smarter and more faithful around Jialanga!
Duanmu Qi returned to his residence, but he couldn't figure it out in his heart, why was this Fang Binnu so confident, was there something big that he didn't know? He sent a flying pigeon biography to Zhu Rong overnight, asking about Fang Bin's situation. Immediately sent people to investigate the original Fang family......
The next day, the nineteenth princess gave the sixth highness a return gift, of course, this return gift is the same as that of the eldest prince and the seventh princess, and there will be no favoritism. But the one given to Yin Rui, the nineteenth princess deliberately added some more soap and toilet paper and the like, although she was a little gaffe yesterday, but the nineteenth princess still wanted to make friends with this Yin concubine as much as possible. This made Yin Rui very pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly came to the West Palace's mansion to thank him, and then went back with someone satisfied.
But when it was the turn to return the gift to the royal court and Jialanga, the nineteenth princess was a little undecided, what kind of gift should she return? Speaking of which, Jialanga had fought with Lingyue Mountain, and Duanmuqi was in command at the beginning, so the nineteenth princess was still very cautious to invite Duanmuqi to listen to his opinion.
"Heavy gift! An absolute gift! The royal court can deal with it there, but Jialanga must thank him for it! As soon as Duanmu Qi entered the main hall, he said with certainty.
"Huh? Mr. Duanmu, this ...... What does this mean? Do we want to befriend Garanga? I'm afraid that King Ming will have some ideas! Of course, the nineteenth princess also has to take into account King Ming's feelings, so she is a little confused, Duanmuqi's attitude is very surprising!
"Well, King Ming's thoughts are not important, but Jialanga is very important here, what it is, I don't know now, but one thing is certain, many people are not to blame!" Duanmu Qi shook his head, this was the first time he was so unsure in his heart, but he had an intuition that Fang Binnu must have some important information in his hands, otherwise he would not be so sure.
It was only after the other civil and military officials dispersed that Duanmu Qi briefly recounted the conversation with Fang Binnu last night, and the nineteenth princess understood the reason. Suddenly, I was a little nervous in my heart, if it was really like what Fang Binnu said, wouldn't it be that a big war was coming? It seems that he is not ready, so far there are only 150,000 horses in Xiyuan City, and the others are still being transported one after another.
"Huh! It doesn't matter, even if it starts, we are in the rear of King Ming, as long as we ensure his food supply, then let him fight! We just need to take care of Xiyuan City! This kind of opportunity to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight is not common! Duanmuqi said with a very determined smile, the original plan was to use these soldiers and horses of King Ming, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.
At this time, Zhu Xiaobao walked in with Jumei, generally the nineteenth princess does not participate in dealing with the government, and he is most afraid of these tedious things, every time he hears it, he is drowsy, and he has to beat his spirit to listen to it reluctantly, so he is generally unwilling to participate in this kind of government.
But this time Zhu Xiaobao was a little worried, the reason was that Jumei felt that the Xuanwu Mental Method had reached a bottleneck, and she needed to go back to the place of inheritance to understand it, which made Zhu Xiaobao a little embarrassed. So he wanted to take advantage of Qiu Baiyan's return to the royal court to bring Jumei with him. But I don't feel at ease about letting Jumei go alone, because she doesn't have any scheming, and I'm afraid that she will suffer if she goes out alone!
"Hahahaha! If you care, it's chaotic, Jumei has such a high martial arts, I'm afraid there are not many people who can plot against him! In this way, I asked Shen Bao to accompany her, and by the way, I also inquired about the situation in the Western Turkic Kingdom! When Duanmu Qi heard this, he immediately said with a haha.
"I've said it all, I can do it alone! You still don't have to worry! After Duanmuqi smiled, Jumei said a little embarrassed. She didn't think she was going to lose.
"Yes, yes! Let the third brother go with me, so that I can rest assured, Jumei, you try to stay in the carriage and don't show your face, you know? As soon as Zhu Xiaobao heard Duanmuqi's suggestion, he was immediately relieved, but he still told Jumei very seriously.
"Oh! Got it! Jumei snorted in a muffled voice of dissatisfaction, for she was the least accustomed to sitting in a carriage.
For this matter, Duanmuqi specially said hello to Qiu Baiyan, and Qiu Baiyan agreed with a mouthful of words, Jumei and Zhu Xiaobao had been to the royal court, so Qiu Baiyan was very familiar, and he was very happy to do Zhu Xiaobao a favor.
"Then thank you, Mr. Qiu! By the way, has something happened to the royal court recently? How did I hear that King You's men and horses were about to move? Duanmu Qi bowed deeply, and then asked casually.
"No? In the past six months, the royal court has been resuming production, although the disease of the 'elephant neck' has been cured, but the royal court has just recovered its vitality, and it is a little busy, but the prince of Mo Han has worked hard and is deeply supported by the people! Qiu Baiyan said a little puzzled, he really didn't notice anything abnormal.
"Oh! That's good, I'll just ask! Hehe, you also know that King You's men and horses have always been very restless, maybe where to rob them! Duanmuqi also said vaguely.
Then the two chatted a few more words, Duanmuqi didn't gain anything, just knew that the royal court was replying very quickly now, and Prince Mo Han and Princess Mo Yu performed their respective duties, and they both began to rectify many matters related to the restoration of the royal court. They are very grateful and admired to Zhu Xiaobao, because Zhu Xiaobao has really completely cured the disease of 'elephant neck'.
After the loading was completed, Qiu Baiyan and Fang Binnu both came to visit with the nineteenth princess, the two of them were very respectful, and they did not have the slightest contempt, don't look at the strength of the nineteenth princess, but behind her are all small treasures!
And Zhu Xiaobao ran to the side of the carriage and stuffed a large package into it, all of which was food, and several jars of wine, Zhu Xiaobao stretched out his head to the carriage and still advised: "You must be careful on the road, don't fight with people at every turn, come back early!" I'm not at ease if you're not by my side! ”
"Oh! Got it, piggy! You say that, I don't even want to go, woo woo woo woo ...... "I didn't expect Jumei to cry even when she hid in the carriage, this female man was worried for the first time, and she cried sadly!"
"Alright, alright! It's good that you go to the land of inheritance, what to cry about! Remember, you must listen to the third brother along the way! Zhu Xiaobao also felt a little sour in his eyes, so he immediately waved his hand and said, and then left by himself. He didn't want others to see it, let alone run into Fang Binnu.
With the enthusiastic send-off of Duanmuqi and others, Qiu Baiyan and Fang Binnu's convoy finally set off, and Fang Binnu didn't know that Jumei was also in Qiu Baiyan's convoy. But he was a little pleasantly surprised that the nineteenth princess's return gift to Jialanga seemed to be very heavy, almost catching up with Qiu Baiyan's chariot.
"Hehehehehe! Mr. Fang, go all the way, don't forget our bet! Duanmu Qi finally deliberately smiled with Fang Binnu.
"Thank you, Mr. Duanmu, hehe! I won't forget the bet, I'm still waiting to collect ten taels of gold! Fang Binnu also said with a smile.
"Good! Please! ”
"Please!"
In less than a day, she had already arrived at the realm of King Jialanga, and seeing so many gifts in return, Jialanga was a little surprised, and her heart was even more surprised, because the nineteenth princess gave her not only those high-end daily necessities, but also a lot of weapons and armor, which Jialanga lacked the most.
Jialanga couldn't help but feel that the other party was getting heavier and heavier. Because it was Fang Binnu who proposed to congratulate the nineteenth princess, the tribal leaders under his command did not approve of it, and even many people regarded the nineteenth princess as a hostile party. The reason is very simple, Duanmuqi is now the military advisor of the Nineteenth Princess, and Duanmuqi defeated Jialanga's 1.2 million army at the beginning! But now that they saw so many weapons and armor, these people began to blush......
Qiu Baiyan just had a meal here in Jialanga, and he immediately started, they still have a long way to go, and Qiu Baiyan was also a little worried in his heart, although he didn't know any very confidential information, but after Duanmu Qi asked, he also felt as if he had neglected something, because his senior brother seemed to have a solemn expression before he came, and he was a little undecided. In retrospect, there must have been something he didn't know was going on!
……
Also on the way back, Yin Rui's mood was very good, there were two thousand soldiers of King Ming behind her, and she was also arrogant all the way, originally this was the fief of King Wen, she was also a revisit, but the mood was completely different, now she is leading the team alone, even King Ming has to send someone to escort her, this kind of lofty mood makes her a little fluttery......
Originally, it would be nothing to go back directly to make a difference, but this Yin Rui was just about to do something, and suddenly saw a mountain not far away, and immediately remembered that this was the place where he hunted with King Wen at the beginning. She suddenly had a whim, and she also wanted to go into the mountains to hunt, and when she came out, she was so fully armed and dressed in a military uniform, and she didn't show her skills, she was really a little sorry for herself.
"Envoy Yin, in front of you is the forbidden place where King Ming is encircling and hunting, and outsiders are not allowed to enter!" The military general who was in charge of escorting behind him immediately rushed to Yin Rui's horse, stopped her and said.
"What forbidden place? This is supposed to be a hunting place, and I've been here several times! King Ming asked you to protect me, but he didn't let you restrict my freedom. Get out of the way! The forbidden land is only for you subordinates, not for me! Yin Rui suddenly shouted angrily.
"I'm sorry! Yin envoy, Ming Wang Chitose is likely to be inside. You still don't want to go in! "That military general was really embarrassed, so he had to move out of King Ming to scare Yin Rui.
"Humph! What about King Ming? If it weren't for our family's Sheng King, you would have starved to death a long time ago! I don't care about you! Yin Rui shouted angrily, shook his hand, gave the general a horsewhip, and then rushed out as soon as he urged the horse.
The military general didn't care about the wound on his face, and hurriedly sent someone to deliver a letter to King Ming. And Yin Rui's entourage was also a little hesitant, so they had to split up half and follow her towards the mountain.
Don't look at Yin Rui set off first, but the messenger soldiers were more familiar with the road than her, and they rushed to King Ming's horse and made a detailed report. King Ming was suddenly furious, and waved his hand and shouted: "Whoever comes, hide them all and let them come." Since you're looking for death, don't blame me for being rude! ”
