Chapter 52: Slipping away

After a busy day of nearly 1,000 people and a simple dinner, the fleet began to set off towards Jiangnan East Road!

This time, the fleet did not encounter the strange situation before, and everything was smooth.

Everyone was busy with their duties, and Fang Yi didn't stop, constantly planning how he should slip away.

After five days of sailing, the fleet finally discovered the mainland!

"Brother Fang Yi! Look! It's land! We're about to return to the Central Plains! ”

Shangguan Wan'er stood on the deck, looking at the boundless land in the distance, holding Fang Yi's hand and jumping up excitedly.

Fang Yi also pretended to be excited, holding Shangguan Wan'er's little hand tightly: "Yes, we are about to return to the Central Plains, this is a thing worth celebrating, Wan'er, I'll get you a delicious meal in the evening!" ”

"Yes, yes!"

Shangguan Wan'er, a snack merchant, was even more energetic when she heard that Fang Yi was going to cook it himself.

However, Shangguan Wan'er is also sensitive. Feeling girl, Shangguan Wan'er noticed that Fang Yi seemed to be a little different from usual today.

In the past, when he held Fang Yi's hand, Fang Yi would smile and keep a slight distance from himself.

But today...... Fang Yi clenched his hand unexpectedly......

Shangguan Wan'er looked blankly at Fang Yi's big hand, which was holding her small hand, and fell into a slight sluggishness.

Fang Yi naturally understood what Shangguan Wan'er was thinking, but he just smiled and didn't explain.

In fact, if you really want to slip away......

Fang Yi felt that he was really a little reluctant to Wu Zetian and Shangguan Wan'er, especially Shangguan Wan'er, a girl with an innocent and simple personality!

Hehe, silly girl, I may not be able to hold your little hand in the future, so let myself hold it for a while now......

……

After the fleet docked, the Royal Foresters began to get busy again, unloading various supplies on the ship one after another.

Wu Zetian stood proudly on a small hillside, behind Wu Zetian were Fang Yi and Shangguan Wan'er, followed by Di Renjie, Wang Xiaojie and Li Xiaoyi.

Fang Yi glanced at the busy Imperial Forest Army in the distance, and then glanced at Wu Zetian's back.

Now it's time for everyone to be busy, and if they slip away, no one will notice them in the first place.

If you don't slip now, when will you wait?

Fang Yi suddenly turned around and looked at Di Renjie and the three behind him: "What are you still standing here?" Come with me to help, even if it's to direct the Guards to carry supplies! The treasures brought over from the island are all treasures, and you can't afford to break any of them! ”

Di Renjie and the three of them were slightly stunned, Fang Yi's reason really made the three of them unable to shirk, and Fang Yi himself had already made it clear that he wanted to help, how could the three of them shirk it? Wouldn't that make Wu Zetian think that the three of them were lazy?

"Let's go ......"

The three of them hurriedly walked towards the Imperial Forest Army in the distance, and Wu Zetian looked at the four of them quietly, neither agreeing nor refusing.

"Shhh...... Oops......"

After walking a few steps, a look of pain suddenly appeared on Fang Yi's face, and he bent down to cover his stomach.

"Brother Fang Yi, what's wrong with you?"

"Brother Dongliang, are you okay?"

"It's okay...... it's okay" Fang Yi waved his hand in pain, "It's over...... It must have been at sea for too long, and I couldn't adapt to the water and soil, and my stomach hurt...... No more...... I'm looking for a place to make it easier......"

"Huh......"

The group hurriedly distanced themselves from Fang Yi with a look of disgust.

"I'm sorry...... You go first, and I'll come later......"

Fang Yi smiled apologetically at Di Renjie and the others, and then hurriedly ran over to the other side of the hill.

Wu Zetian nodded at Shangguan Wan'er, Shangguan Wan'er has served Wu Zetian for many years, and the two have already formed a tacit understanding between each other.

Shangguan Wan'er knew that Wu Zetian was worried about Fang Yi, in this wilderness, if there were any gangsters or beasts, Fang Yi's weak little body would not be able to bear it!

So Shangguan Wan'er followed Fang Yi with ten Royal Forest Soldiers.

Fang Yi turned to look at Shangguan Wan'er, who was following with ten Royal Forest Soldiers, and couldn't help frowning.

Is that still there?

If you follow me like this, how can I slip away?

In order not to arouse Wu Zetian's suspicion, Fang Yi walked to a bush one or two hundred meters away before stopping, Shangguan Wan'er, this stupid girl is much better than Wu Zetian!

"Wan'er, what are you doing here?"

Shangguan Wan'er smiled awkwardly at Fang Yi: "Brother Fang Yi, this is a wilderness, in case there are any jackals and poisonous insects, in case something happens to you, I don't want to live in remorse and self-blame for the rest of my life!" ”

Fang Yi couldn't help but feel moved in his heart.

After all, this girl is the best for herself! After all, this girl cares about herself the most!

Such an understanding, simple and lively little girl, she really can't bear to leave!

But Fang Yi understands the principle that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, for the sake of his own country, those who are emperors can do anything.

Yue Fei, a national hero who was loyal to the country, wasn't it because Zhao Gou, the emperor of the Song Dynasty at that time, was worried that Yue Fei's Northern Expedition would welcome back the two last emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty and affect his country, so he was killed on trumped-up charges?

No matter how reluctant she is to Shangguan Wan'er, for the safety of her life, she has to slip away!

"Wan'er, you...... Stay away from me...... You're standing right here...... You're too close to me, I'm afraid I'll not be able to get out......"

"Poof!"

Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help laughing.

"Laughing at what? I'm serious...... Oh...... My stomach hurts......"

After Fang Yi finished speaking, he continued to trot forward, and at the same time glanced back at Shangguan Wan'er.

Sure enough, Shangguan Wan'er and the Imperial Forest Army didn't follow anymore.

Fang Yi was relieved at this time, and squatted in a bush beside him.

"Brother Fang Yi, you say...... After returning to Luoyang, what kind of official will Your Majesty make you an official? ”

From afar, Shangguan Wan'er asked Fang Yi loudly.

Fang Yi, who was about to bend down and slip away, heard Shangguan Wan'er's question, and had no choice but to stop.

"This ...... I don't know...... Let's talk about it later...... Wan'er, my stomach hurts now, I'll talk to you later! ”

"Okay......" Shangguan Wan'er nodded helplessly.

Ten minutes later.

"Brother Fang Yi, are you still not finished? Don't your legs go numb? ”

"Brother Fang Yi, why don't you ignore me?"

"Brother Fang Yi? Brother Fang Yi? ”

After a while, Shangguan Wan'er's heart sank, and she suddenly realized that something was wrong with the situation.

Shangguan Wan'er didn't care about it so much, and quickly ran towards Fang Yi's previous location.

Pushing aside the grass, Fang Yi had already slipped away, where would there be Fang Yi's shadow inside.

Shangguan Wan'er's face was instantly cloudy, with doubts, puzzles, surprises, and anger......

In the end, Shangguan Wan'er's hysterical cries of pain came from the small hillside.

"Brother Fang Yi!!"
