Chapter 381: National Teacher
When An Xiabai came back from the General's Mansion, Fang Zhen was standing in the courtyard waiting for her, with a somewhat indifferent expression: "Where have you been?" ”
"Go to the old land and sample things." An Xiabai has a good impression of the person in front of him, not for other reasons, but because he is loyal enough, and loyal people will always be admired. In the past few days, she will persuade Fang Zhen to throw herself at Lu Li when she gets the opportunity, but the other party is not moved at all, and she also said that she is the person of King Li, even if she is dead, she is the ghost of King Li.
It sounded like the words of a steadfast girl.
An Xiabai laughed at the time, so she decided to fulfill her original promise and help Fang Zhen clear the obstacles, but the premise was that she married the things back first.
"Do you know that people are looking for you all over the capital recently?" Fang Zhen deliberately waited in the courtyard because of this incident.
Recently, Su Ying'er has almost turned over the capital in order to find An Xiabai, and people who don't know the situation think that Su Ying'er is dissatisfied because the adult in the family is looking for flowers and asking willows, and those in the know, such as Fang Zhen, understand what she is looking for, those who make a mess in the capital are all coming for An Xiabai.
"I know."
An Xiabai didn't know what kind of surprise his words had caused Fang Zhen, he frowned, and his expression was very surprised: "You know, why do you want to go out?" ”
"Because I'm confident I can protect myself." An Xiabai raised his eyebrows and said.
Fang Zhen was quite helpless about the person in front of him.
Maybe some people think about things differently than themselves, just let him go.
Fang Zhen lowered his eyes, and was about to turn around and leave, when An Xiabai behind him suddenly stopped him, and said in a somewhat dissatisfied voice: "General Fang, have you forgotten something?" When I first came to your house to seek refuge, but I agreed with you to help you remove the obstacles in front of you, didn't you intend to keep your promise? At least you have to tell me what the king of Li said in the court, right? ”
Fang Zhen was stunned for a moment, and looked back.
I saw An Xiabai standing in place, with a faint smile on the corner of her lips.
"I don't want to owe you a favor."
Fang Zhen didn't hesitate for too long, so he told An Xiabai about the latest things in the court, and by the way, he also talked about King Li's recent troubles and his loss of King Li's trust. This is a very big thing, but after An Xiabai heard it, not only did he not feel troubled, he didn't even make a small frowning move, and directly said to Fang Zhen: "You deal with King Li according to my instructions, and it won't take long for you to regain King Li's trust." ”
Regain the trust of King Li? Is that what it means to put those officials who once looked at him coldly under their feet again?
Thinking of the things he had experienced before, and thinking of regaining the trust of King Li to take charge of the army, Fang Zhen's eyes brightened, and the original decadent mood because of the lack of talent seemed to be blown away by the cold wind at this time.
"What should I do?"
An Xiabai stepped forward and whispered to him about his plan.
In the court led by King Li, the courtiers quickly discovered the changes in Fang Zhen.
In the past, when King Li was talking above, Fang Zhen would sometimes be in a daze, and sometimes he would deliberately remain silent when King Li asked.
And today, there seems to be something different about him.
Without waiting for King Li to take the initiative to ask, Fang Zhen preemptively said all kinds of suggestions, as well as some things that King Li was worried about, he could also give very good suggestions.
King Li looked at the general he once relied on, and then at Xiong Qianshui, and finally all eyes were on Fang Zhen.
Xiong Qianshui is full of lies, not a single word of his words is true, or General Fang is reliable!
The change in the attitude of King Liwang is naturally felt most clearly by the parties concerned.
Xiong Lishui was obviously standing under the sun, but he suddenly shivered, Fang Zhen was different from before, Fang Zhen was arrogant in the past, and he had the mind to not admit defeat, especially in this matter of Fang Chun, Fang Zhen's energy was much deeper than that of ordinary people, but now he didn't know what was going on, even Xiong Lishui intentionally or unintentionally mentioned his brother, he didn't pay attention to it, as if the whole world was excluded from the outside, and it was like a sudden enlightenment overnight.
Xiong Lishui was very afraid of such Fang Zhen.
In order to know himself and his opponent, Xiong Qianshui sent a few small officials to stop Fang Zhen on the way to the ebb tide, and then pestered him to ask why it has changed so much now?
Fang Zhen was silent for a moment, and with an attitude of not being able to lie, he directly revealed An Xiabai's existence.
"Recently, I worshipped a master, who is very good at strategy, and has traveled to many places to observe the people's feelings, and all the suggestions I made in the court were taught by the master."
This news quickly reached Xiong Qianshui's ears, and it didn't take long for it to reach the ears of the ministers, King Li planted eyeliner in the middle of his subordinates, and he quickly received such important news, and he was also very interested in the master in Fang Zhen's mouth.
I heard that she is still a woman? Oh, are women so capable?
After the dispersal of the dynasty one day, Xiong Lishui deliberately left Fang Zhen alone.
"This king heard that there is a very capable woman in your house recently, and that woman is still your master?"
Fang Zhen nodded neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"The king wants to see him."
The implication is to let An Xiabai enter the palace to talk to King Li, where did Fang Zhen dare to let people go, and after a moment of silence, he said: "That person is a master of the world, it is easy not to see outsiders, and the lower official only met her by chance by chance, if you want to see her, Your Highness, you have to ask." ”
King Li was angry at the moment, thinking that he was the lord of the world, why didn't he come to see him?
King Li was about to get angry, but fortunately, there was a Chen Lian next to him who stopped him.
Chen Lian lowered her face and said: "Your Highness, don't be angry, when it comes to people who are outside the world, Weichen has indeed heard that most of them have a quirk, that is, they regard themselves as high and high, and rarely look down on worldly people." What General Fang said may be true. ”
"When the king saw her, he had to kneel down and beg her to come?"
"That's not really," Chen Lian glanced at Fang Zhen lightly, and said indifferently, "We just need to ask General Lu to go and ask, as for the meeting, Your Highness, you are a person who is eager to seek talent, and that one happens to have some ability, Your Highness cherishes talents, how about standing lower?" The sea is wide because of the terrain, and His Royal Highness can naturally do it. ”
Chen Lian said three or two sentences, and he grabbed King Li's heart.
"Then I, General Fang, you go back to the mansion to inquire first, if the master is willing, then the king will go to the mansion tomorrow to meet."
Fang Zhen reluctantly agreed.
thought that the news that King Li was coming to see her would make An Xiabai shocked, and she couldn't help but choose to run away, but what Fang Zhen never expected was that An Xiabai not only did not panic, she was even a little happy, and chose to nod and agree without hesitation.
"Just let them come tomorrow."
The woman in front of her had a bright smile on her face, as if she didn't have any scheming at all, but Fang Zhen knew that her mind was buried quite deeply.
He was a little confused: "Aren't you afraid that they will find out who you are?" ”
An Xia Bai hooked her lips and smiled slightly, and said disappreciably: "If I were afraid, I wouldn't have appeared in front of your mansion." ”
Fang Zhen thought to himself, this is also true.
That night, Fang Zhen asked people to reply to King Li's words, saying that the master wanted to see him.
King Li was obviously very happy, and the next day he didn't even go to the morning court, and came directly to Fang Zhen's mansion.
"Where is the master?"
The first thing he said when he entered the door was this game, Fang Zhen was a little surprised, but he was not surprised.
"Your Highness, please come with you."
King Li followed Fang Zhen's steps through the long corridor, walked through the garden and a dilapidated courtyard that was rarely inhabited, and finally came to the door of the small courtyard where An Xia Bai lived, pushed the door and entered.
At this time, An Xiabai was sitting in the living room and waiting.
Of course, she didn't just sit and wait, after all, King Li recognized her face and knew that her head was valuable, so An Xiabai made some preparations in advance. She asked Fang Zhen to find a white veil overnight and tied it in the living room, while she sat in the heavy veil and drank tea and waited slowly.
In order to prevent King Li from even recognizing her voice, An Xiabai even deliberately pinched her voice to speak.
For example, right now—
"The grass people pay a greeting to His Royal Highness."
said that it was a visit, but An Xiabai not only did not kneel, but he didn't even have the action of walking down from his position, if this kind of thing was placed in the past, on anyone outside, King Li couldn't help but be angry, annoyed, and then surrendered, but now it is different from the past, maybe because the atmosphere of An Xiabai's tent made King Li feel awe, or because the beautiful figure looming behind the veil fascinated King Li, he forgot etiquette like this.
"You are General Fang's master, dare to ask Your Excellency's name?"
An Xiabai smiled softly, shook his head and said, "The grass people don't have names. ”
King Li was stunned, and looked at the figure behind the veil, and everyone began to be in a trance.
It wasn't until Chen Lian, who came with him, gently touched his shoulder that he woke up from his dream and said: "This is the first time that this king has seen a master in the world who exists and is in the legends, so he is a little out of shape, and I hope the master will not mind." ”
"It doesn't matter."
On this trip, in addition to seeing the master to satisfy his curiosity, King Li also wanted to ask this figure, who is said to be knowledgeable, about the worries in his heart.
King Li's concern is nothing more than the problem of Lu Li and the resettlement of the people in the south.
An Xiabai came all the way from Nanhuai City, I don't know how many victims I saw on the road, those people were either because of war, or because of disasters, and the taxes were so heavy that they could crush a family of four.
An Xiabai said several solutions to current affairs in a row, almost all of which were like arrows shot by archers, hitting the bull's-eye of King Li.
The original contemptuous attitude has also become solemn.
"Superior! Your guidance made this king suddenly enlightened, and he decided to let his men do things when he went back later! The master gave the king a point to the maze, the king should be grateful, presumably the master will not like gold and silver vulgar things, so how about the king give the master the title of a national teacher? ”
