Chapter 574: He is Fang Baijing
The night added another layer of protective color to the black brocade clothes of the Tingwei Mansion, and the square white mirror was a fish, and when night fell, he also returned to the water from the land.
In fact, there are not many people in the entire Tingwei Mansion who know Fang Baijing, not only the current Fang Baijing, but also the past Fang Baijing, in the entire Tingwei Mansion, only the Duting Captain Han Zhaozhi and the deputy Dudu Tingwei who has not seen the head and the tail of the Shenlong know the origin of Fang Baijing, but the two of them never mention it.
All the court captains knew that after Lord Fang came, he directly did a thousand offices, and the level was higher than the other thousand offices, at first there were still people who were not convinced, but after feeling the horror of Fang Baijing, they were all unconvinced.
In fact, not only the Tingwei Mansion, but even the entire Daning Imperial Court did not know the origin of Fang Baijing.
In Chang'an City, there are only four.
The first is of course His Majesty today, the second is the general Yuanshu, the third is Han Hanzhi, and the fourth is the deputy capital Tingwei, the deputy capital Tingwei made a mistake many years ago, and after coming back, he knelt for two days and two nights under self-punishment in the Tingwei Mansion, and then disappeared, some people say that he has been in retreat in a certain secret room in the Tingwei Mansion, and does not ask about the world, but Lord Han will always go to talk to him from time to time, because he is very strong, and Lord Han also needs his ideas.
After many years, there are only a few people who know the name of Deputy Du Tingwei now.
Fang Baijing is equivalent to the deputy capital of Tingwei's Mansion, the first person under Han Zhaozhi.
Actually, he was born in the military.
He joined the army at the age of seventeen, and he shined in the ranks of the forbidden army that year, and was promoted to captain at the age of nineteen.
That year, there was not much contact between Huo Tuoguo and Daning in the Western Regions, Huo Tuoguo was extremely unstable, the old emperor was assassinated, the general sought to usurp the throne, the prince escaped from the capital under the desperate protection of his subordinates, and did not dare to stay in the country to seek refuge in Chang'an, and lived in Chang'an City for more than half a year, but His Majesty the Emperor Daning didn't want to pay attention to the little inside Huo Tuoguo, Huo Tuoguo was not too big, he ignored it, and he couldn't get much benefit, and the new Huo Tuoguo Emperor was the first time to call Daning a minister, There were also a lot of tributes that were sent.
But for the sake of the prince Huo Tuoguo who was willing to come to Daning for help, Emperor Li Chengtang sent an envoy to send a letter to Emperor Huo Tuoguo, and Emperor Huo Tuoguo got the letter from Emperor Daning and said that as long as the prince came back, he would never embarrass him, and named the prince as the king to ensure the safety of the first generation.
The prince dared to go back after receiving the guarantee, but he was not at ease, so he begged the Emperor Daning to arrange someone to protect him, and the emperor immediately asked the general Yuanshu to arrange, and Yuanshu sent the captain Fang Baijing with twenty-four soldiers to escort the prince back to Huo Tuoguo.
After arriving in Huo Tuoguo, he was safe and sound, ready to return, but at this time, a caravan from Daning asked for protection, at that time, Huo Tuo's internal turmoil was not settled, although the general became the emperor, but Huo Tuo's internal strife was not only, many people opposed his accession to the throne and called the emperor, and there was war everywhere, theoretically the people of Huo Tuoguo generally did not dare to do anything excessive to the Ning people, but the small country was in a mess, full of bandits, and people who couldn't even eat didn't have so much awe.
So Fang Baijing led his men to escort the caravan back to Daning, and camped in a town less than forty miles away from the Daning border at night, because they were about to return to Daning, the merchants relaxed and drank a lot of wine that night.
Coincidentally, the fief of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was nearby, Fang Baijing escorted the caravan here, and the prince also left the capital to the fiefdom, and when he heard that Fang Baijing was here, he hurriedly sent someone to invite Fang Baijing to be a guest.
When Fang Baijing returned to the camp alone from the prince's mansion at night, he found that the camp had been burned, he rushed in, because he had also drunk some wine, his reaction was slightly worse, and he was hit by a cold arrow shot in the dark, and the people who attacked him thought he was dead, and did not look too much, and fled with the goods, and the twenty-four soldiers and merchants under his command were all drugged in the meal, and their throats were cut one by one in consciousness, and then the corpses were hung on wooden stakes.
Fang Baijing was seriously injured, and after being rescued by the prince's people, he barely recovered from his injuries for three months, and the border army generals of Daning sent someone to pick him up, but he shook his head and didn't leave.
On the night of the injury, Fang Baijing left the Prince's Mansion with his sword on his back.
That night, a village outside the camp was killed, but not a single young man remained, and the corpses of more than 120 people in the small village were hung on the wooden stakes at the entrance of the village.
Two days later, in the night, another village, less than thirty miles away, was razed to the ground overnight, and almost everyone died in their sleep, and the killing god sneaked into the village and began to kill, and the next morning, a row of wooden stakes were erected outside the village, and the corpses hung on each of them.
As last time, leave four words.
Hand over the murderer.
Huo Tuoguo was not too big, but the news soon spread to the capital, and Emperor Huo Tuoguo ordered to find Fang Baijing and dispatched a group of personal guards to the past.
Half a month later, these guards were hung on the side of the road, and the people hanging on a neat row of wooden stakes looked so miserable.
For another three days, the county government more than 30 miles away was slaughtered.
For two more days, all the men in a village were wiped out.
Every place where the murderer was killed left those four words to hand over the murderer.
After learning the news, the prince of Huo Tuoguo sat in his study for a long time, and then said three words to himself: "What a man." ”
At that time, the general of the Daning Border Army sent someone to pick up Fang Baijing, and Fang Baijing replied: "My brothers are dead, if I die, it would be fine, but I am not dead, I will avenge this revenge, no matter how many people I kill, I will turn out the murderer." ”
Huo Tuo's civil strife is so serious, God knows which group of rogues or bandits killed them, but Fang Baijing concluded that it was not the rogues or bandits who killed people, only ordinary people would let Daning's soldiers relax their vigilance, so he would slaughter the nearby villages one by one, and in the homes of the people killed in those villages, he found a lot of goods in the caravan at that time.
Two months.
Kill fifteen hundred.
No one can experience that kind of ruthlessness, and no one can experience that kind of determination.
The brothers are dead, I am alive, I cannot let them die in vain.
Twenty-five people came out, and twenty-four died, and I had to give them an account.
In the third month, the emperor Huo Tuoguo personally came with a team, and after careful investigation, he found that many villagers from several nearby villages were involved, and these villagers were digging water canals for the local government of Huo Tuoguo, and they were all migrant workers recruited by the government.
Emperor Huo Tuoguo ordered the local prefect to be taken, and it was determined that the prefect was greedy for a while, so he asked his subordinates to instigate the migrant workers to rob the caravan of the Ning people, but there were too many people involved, and no one knew which one had the ruthless corpse of the Ning people to hang on the wooden stake.
Emperor Huo Tuoguo was frightened, and he gave a false accusation to an opponent who raised troops to resist him, and the opponent had been destroyed by him, and it could be regarded as giving Daning an explanation.
He was scared to the bone again, who knows when the killing god will stop?
So he ordered all the people in the government who had participated in the matter that day to be hanged on a stake on the side of the road.
But he couldn't find the square white mirror.
had to turn to the Daning border army for help.
In the end, the Daning border army sent scouts to find Fang Baijing, and then invited him home, Fang Baijing shook his head, saying that he had seen it, and the people who killed his companions that day used standard weapons, not simple bows and arrows used by refugees and bandits.
He said no.
Another seven days.
The commander of the guards in the Prince's Mansion was beheaded by Fang Baijing outside the gate of the Prince's Mansion, and there were sixteen guards of the Prince's Mansion.
It turned out that the prince invited Fang Baijing to drink that night, and the guards in the prince's mansion heard Fang Baijing mention that the caravan was also drinking, so he had a bad idea, what he wanted was to steal something, who thought that even if he drank the Daning soldiers who drank wine, they were still vigilant, but they were drugged and physically exhausted, and there was also a soldier who saw the commander of the guards, he killed all the soldiers in fear, and when he fled back, he happened to see Fang Baijing returning, he secretly put an arrow in the crowd, where did he dare to see Fang Baijing dead or alive, so he hurriedly ran away with people.
When the prince learned about it, he knelt down at the gate of the mansion.
Fang Baijing cut off the heads of all the guards and took them away, pushed a wheelbarrow by himself, the car was full of human heads, and walked all the way to the cemetery where the soldiers and brothers of Daning were buried, put the heads there one by one, and then kowtowed three heads.
After returning to Chang'an City, he knew that he had disobeyed the military order, and because he had drunk and misbehaved, his subordinates were killed, and his crime was unforgivable, so he went to the forbidden army camp to find Yuan Shu and ask the general to send him down.
Yuan Shu had already known about his affairs in the Western Regions, and sighed.
Emperor Li Chengtang summoned Fang Baijing into the palace and asked Fang Baijing: "For more than three months before and after, how many Huo Tuo people have you killed?" ”
"I don't remember."
Yuan Shu said: "The people over there in Huo Tuoguo said that there were more than 1,700 people. ”
The emperor asked, "After killing so many people to avenge your brothers, and now that you are back, what knot in your heart is there that cannot be untied?" ”
Fang Baijing lowered his head: "This is a dead knot, and the minister can't untie it for the rest of his life, so please ask Your Majesty to give the minister death, and the minister will go underground to find his brothers to reunite." ”
"Those brothers are what you have to protect, because you are both Ning people, there are many, many people in Daning, if you don't die, you can also protect more and more Ning people, you don't want to go back to the forbidden army, go back to touch the scene, you go to Tingwei Mansion, Tingwei Mansion guards not only Ning people, but also the rules of Daning, the order of Daning, to put it farther, is also guarding the future of Daning."
Fang Baijing was silent for a long time, and kowtowed: "The minister is willing to go to the Tingwei Mansion." ”
It's been years in a flash.
In the bitter cold night of the White Mountain in the northeast, Fang Baijing looked down at his sword, and there were four corpses lying under the sword, which were four white-clothed swordsmen, the second-generation disciples from the Black Martial Sword Sect.
On the other side, more than a dozen secret posts set up by the black warriors were killed by him.
His brothers died on this white mountain, and he would also make it a grave for the Black Warriors.
Fang Baijing wiped the blood stains on the long sword, slowly retreated, and the person returned to the night.
The night is like the sea.
He is the fiercest shark.
