When Fang Xie woke up, he was already in the Sanjin Houfu instead of the shop he had rented, and the proprietress who took him from mid-air was nowhere to be found. Sitting next to his bed were Mu Xiaoxiao and Shen Tilting Fan, and the big dog stood on one side with concern on his face. And what is surprising is that Wu Yinyu, a little girl, is actually in the room.

Seeing Fang Xie wake up, Mu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Sorry"

Fang Xie smiled apologetically: "I have never fainted in the past fifteen years, and I have fainted three times since I left Fan Gu. Doesn't it have to be considered unadaptable? ”

"And in the mood to laugh!"

Mu Xiaoxiao glared at him and said, "Mr. Zhuo came to see you, and after checking the pulse, he said that you are fine, you are too tired and your meridians have been vibrated by someone, so you will be in a coma." The old cripple also came, because the red sleeves didn't go long because of something. ”

Fang Xie smirked: "Then this time it can't be considered a coma, at most it can be considered a coma." ”

Shen Tianfan saw that he was fine, and he didn't say anything, got up and stretched his waist. Fang Xie has never had much resistance to this kind of bewitching figure, so he stared intently at the small piece of white and slender waist that was exposed when Shen Tianfan stretched his waist. Shen Tianfan didn't seem to see Fang Jie's greedy and shameless eyes, and turned around to go to sleep. Fang Jie's gaze shifted to her ***, staring at the round buttocks a few times.

"Shameless!"

The little girl Wu Yinyu scolded with a red face, caught up with Shen Tianfan and pulled her arm and said, "Sister Shen, let's go together, I don't want to stay in a hooligan's house." ”

Shen Tianfan pursed her lips and smiled, whispered something in Wu Yinyu's ear, the little girl's face became even redder, and she stomped her foot and said that Sister Shen is not a good person and then sped up and ran. Shen Tianfan looked at the back of the little girl trotting up, looked back at Fang Xie and said, "Look, I took advantage of you again." ”

In the middle of summer, the gauze skirts worn by girls are thin. The beauty of the outlined body curves makes people can't bear to look away, of course, Fang Xie once said very seriously that this is a yearning for beauty, and there is no low-level interest. But he didn't even believe it.

"She's been on watch for a day and two nights."

Mu Xiaoxiao whispered.

Fang Jie's heart moved, and he said to Shen Tianfan, who had already gone out: "Sleep well, but don't take off your clothes." ”

Shen Tianfan stopped, looked at Fang Xie with extremely provocative eyes and asked, "Why?" ”

"This is not our house, if someone looks at me, I will lose."

"Phew!"

Shen tilted his fan and took a sip, and his rare face was slightly red: "What did you lose when I was looked at?" I'm really afraid that you have the ability to go to my room and guard it. ”

Mu Xiaoxiao would never say such a thing, so he dared to tease without the slightest scruples in front of the public.

After Shen Tianfan left, Fang Xie said to Mu Xiaoxiao: "Sister Xiaoxiao, you should also go and rest for a while, I know that you must have not closed your eyes for a day or two nights...... Wait, you're saying I've been asleep for a day and two nights?! ”

"That's right."

Mu Xiaowaist rubbed his somewhat sour eyes and replied, "It's been a day and two nights since I was sent back." ”

"That'...... Exams for the Martial Arts Academy? ”

Fang asked.

Mu Xiaoxiao said: "Sanjin Hou said that today is the day of the list, because Miss Wu also took the exam, so early in the morning, Sanjin Hou sent someone to the Martial Arts Academy to see the list." Don't be in a hurry, Sanjin Hou said that your grades will definitely not be bad, after all, you have an excellent foundation in five liberal arts, and it is no problem to enter the martial arts academy. ”

Fang Xie snorted, and said in his heart how could he be asleep for so long. The old monk's palm didn't feel too strong, and he didn't feel any pain when his body was shaken away, how could he sleep for a day and two nights at once?

"Who sent me back?"

He asked.

Mu Xiaowaist said, "Mr. Zhuo." ”

"Huh?"

Fang Xie rubbed his brows, was silent for a while and asked, "Sister Xiaowaist, have you ever seen a woman wearing a very rustic blue cloth skirt?" She looks like she's about thirty years old, and she's pretty one. You seem to have met it once when you were in Fan Gu, and it was the proprietress of Yunji Dog Meat Shop. After I went back that time, I praised her beauty, the one you and the big dog ran to sneak a look at at at night. ”

"Nope"

Mu Xiaoxiao shook his head: "It's just that Mr. Zhuo sent you here, what's the matter, the boss lady also arrived in Chang'an?" How did you meet her? ”

"It's okay...... Sister Xiaoxiao, Mr. Zhuo said that there was no old monk who injured me later. ”

"Nothing"

Mu Xiaoxiao said: "He handed you over to the people in the Sanjin Hou Mansion and left without entering the door." I heard that Sanjin Houfei said that he was in a hurry, as if he had something particularly urgent to deal with. He didn't mention that it was an old monk who injured you, Fang Jie...... Someone from the Buddhist sect chased someone to Chang'an City again? ”

Fang Xie shook his head slowly, thinking hard about the old monk's appearance at that time, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

……

……

"The minister is guilty! Failed to capture the Buddha Sect. ”

Changchun Garden Dome

Luo Weiran, Hou Wenji, Zhuo Buyi, and the four of them leaned over and said in unison, and the emperor who was sitting on the earthen kang opposite them and lowered his head to watch the folds seemed to have expected the result. He didn't look up, just waved his hand and said, "Buyi and Li, you two have been tracking for two days and two nights and are tired, go back and rest first." ”

Zhuo Buyi and Liyan glanced at each other, and then slowly exited the room in response.

After walking out of the door, Zhuo Buyi glanced at Zhuo Buyi as if he wanted to say something. Zhuo Buyi sighed slightly and said, "I'm also curious, why Your Majesty doesn't seem to care at all." ”

Lizhu shook helplessly: "Maybe it's the extreme disappointment." ”

Both of them were not in a good mood, and after saying a few words, they said goodbye and left.

In the room, Luo Weiran and Hou Wenji were pressed very low. Although there was no anger in His Majesty's tone, both of them knew His Majesty's temper. How could such a strong monarch tolerate the people of the Buddhist sect to come and go freely in the capital of the Great Sui Emperor?

"Hou Wenji, you continue to take people to check and see if there are any people from the Buddhist sect who have infiltrated in. The Great Sui has been quiet for eleven years, and many people have forgotten how these eleven years of peace came about. You weren't ready to meet the provocation of the Buddha Sect, I was originally very angry, but think about it, since the six masters can't stop people, what else is there to be angry about? Go ahead...... After going out, he first sent someone to find Mou Liangbi and Zong Lianghu, and then sent someone to the martial arts arena to invite Dean Zhou as well. ”

Hou Wen responded and bowed out. When he went out, he couldn't help but sneak a glance at His Majesty, and found that the emperor's face was not unusual. But the more calm the emperor was, the more uneasy he felt.

Luo Weiran was the only one left in the room, and His Majesty put down the music in his hand, raised his head and glanced at him and said, "What do you think about the people of the Buddha Sect sneaking into Chang'an City." ”

"Dereliction of duty...... From the beginning, the minister should have invited Dean Zhou or Xiao Zhenren. If the two of them make a move, even if the Buddha Sect comes from Tianzun, he won't be able to leave. If you find out the identity of the person who came from the Buddha Sect, it is still too late to ask someone from the military to take action. It is the minister's negligence, please punish Your Majesty. ”

"Please don't move."

The emperor waved his hand and said: "Xiao Zhenren and Dean Zhou's side have sent people to inform them, the people in the army have been informed, and the people in the camp have also been informed, unless the people of the Buddhist sect dare to come to the palace to make trouble, they can't make a move." ”

"Huh?"

Luo Weiran was obviously taken aback.

The emperor got down from the earthen kang, stretched his body for a while, and said, "What I asked you is, why did the people of the Buddha Sect suddenly come to the imperial capital. Don't say it's here to provoke, the people of Buddhism are not idiots. ”

"Could it be...... Meng Yuan's people sensed that His Majesty was going to move troops against the northwest? ”

Luo Weiran said tentatively with the audacity.

The emperor snorted, was silent for a while, and said, "Maybe it's true, I didn't expect that even the officials in the court could hide it, but I couldn't hide it from Meng Yuan's people." If it wasn't for the people who knew about it and leaked it, then it was something that happened in the west that made Meng Yuan's people wary. The former worries me, and the latter makes me curious, can lead a Buddhist Sect Tianzun to come to the imperial capital to find out the news, what is going on in the west? ”

"The minister immediately sent someone to investigate."

Luo Weiran leaned over and said.

"I left you because I wanted you to investigate. You can move the people buried on Meng Yuan's side, and the chess pieces buried at the beginning of my ascension to the throne can be used. For eleven years, they hid in Mengyuan for eleven years, and they rusted when they were no longer used. ”

Luo Weiran's face changed, and he thought of the group of dead soldiers sent to Meng Yuan to lurk at the beginning of His Majesty's accession to the throne eleven years ago. Those people were the best of the young talents of the Great Sui at the beginning, and they lived incognito in the enemy's country for eleven years for the war against the northwest of the Great Sui that did not know when it would start. In the past eleven years, in order to ensure their safety, His Majesty has not even used these people once.

And the person who is directly responsible for contacting this group of people is Luo Weiran.

"The matter of the Western Expedition is going to be advanced."

The emperor paced back and forth in the room, looked at the huge map of the Great Sui territory on the wall and said, "No matter what happened to the west, at least it proves that Meng Yuan's people are panicking. If it weren't for this, how could the Buddha Sect Tianzun, who was extremely noble in the West, run out in person? I have been waiting for an opportunity, and I have been waiting for eleven years but I have been ready, so I simply no longer wait for the opportunity, but rely on preparation to fight this battle. Now it seems that the time has come to be ready...... Providence is like this, how can I let it go? ”

Luo Weiran was taken aback by the fiery eyes in His Majesty's eyes, he had never seen His Majesty's eyes so hot.

That's desire, it's greed.

"Luo Weiran, I am a pro-conquest...... Of the three princes, which one do you think can stay in Chang'an? ”

The next sentence completely frightened Luo Weiran.

"Your Majesty can't be recruited in person!"

He lifted his robe and knelt down and kowtowed, "Please think twice, Your Majesty." ”

……

……

Fan Gu is 12,200 miles to the west, and there is a vast grassland. It's just that the weather here is much warmer than that of Fangu, and there are four seasons. The knee-high grass is dense and luxuriant, and wild horses can be seen galloping through the meadows from time to time. You can also see the huge and fierce steppe wolves, lazily lying on their territory in groups to rest. They don't cross borders easily, and they don't allow other wolves to invade their territory.

Steppe wolves are at the top of the savannah food chain, and even fierce lions are reluctant to provoke a pack of wolves. The mountain dogs on the wolf's milk mountain range west of Fangu are already terrifying, but compared to the steppe wolves, those mountain dogs can only be regarded as gentle kittens.

is such a fierce steppe wolf, but he is full of vigilance against the two people walking back and forth on the prairie. They didn't even dare to get closer, and they avoided watching the two men leave.

One of them was clean, and his washed white robe looked unwrinkled. He did not walk fast, and from time to time he glanced at the majestic mountain whose outline was already visible.

The leather robe on the other man was very torn, and his clothes were covered in blood. He appeared to have a leg injury and struggled a little to walk. The man in the Confucian shirt who was walking in front glanced back at him, and then disappeared in a flash. When he returned, he was carrying a huge male steppe wolf in his hand. The wolf was shaped like a horse that was about to reach adulthood, and it seemed that he was still the leader of a wolf pack. But under the man in the shirt, it could only whine and beg for mercy.

"Ride it"

The man in the Confucian shirt said lightly, and the man in the leather robe smiled and turned over and climbed on the wolf's back: "I did too much to slaughter dogs when I was in Fan Gu, and the first thing I thought of when I saw this wolf was to skin it." ”

The steppe wolf shuddered as if he could understand it.

"Slaughter dogs, how many have we killed?"

The man in the shirt asked.

"There are four hundred and eight golden-bodied monks and soldiers of the Buddha Sect, sixteen Arhats, and four Venerables, and you also injured a Heavenly Venerable yesterday...... The Mengyuan court sent out more than sixty people of the eighth grade and slaughtered thirteen of the ninth grade. As for those below the eighth grade...... Too lazy to remember. ”

"Hmm...... Slaughtering dogs, do you regret it? ”

"What the gentleman said, I'm very happy."

"Go any further, and you might die."

"Death is also very fast."

"Alright, let's move on."

"Well, keep walking!"
