Chapter 198: Death Again?
Towards the end of the hour (13:15 o'clock), Fang Jing saw two guards riding over at the gate of the West Market, followed by a carriage, Fang Jing was a little curious, shouldn't there be a lot of carriages? I don't think it's a copper coin that is sold, it's a gold cake, it's good, at least it doesn't take up too much space.
"Sir, twelve furs have been sold, and there are three hundred and twelve golden cakes in the carriage, and I know that it is inconvenient for Mr. to hold the copper coin, so I am in charge and have replaced them with gold cakes, please don't be strange." One of the guards dismounted and saluted Fang Jing and reported the sale of furs.
"Well, that's the best, there are too many copper coins, I don't have so many hands to hold, you guys are doing well." Fang Jing approached the carriage and lifted the curtain with one hand to take a look, although the twelve furs were only sold for three hundred and twelve golden cakes, thinking that the price was a little lower than before, Fang Jing didn't care about this, as long as he had money, he would be able to pay for the things he bought just now.
Then Fang Jing asked the two of them to wait, and he returned to the West Market, and after saying a few words to the shops that had ordered the goods, he left the West Market and went to the Zheng family store with two guards.
Fang Jing handed over the ordered goods and things to the Zheng family warehouse to consign back to Fangjia Village, and also consigned all the gold cakes back to Fangjia Village, in addition to giving two gold cakes to each of the two guards, Fang Jing only kept two on his body, Fang Jing didn't know if he would use money in the next time, at least it was best to keep two on his body, and save it like today's breakfast, a bowl of soup and cakes couldn't afford to pay.
"Mr. Xie, Mr. Xie." The two guards each held a golden cake, although a golden cake was not worth ten yuan, but for them, this could be said to be an extra money, not to mention that it was given to them by Fang Jing, if this was said, how many people would have to envy it.
"Okay, the matter is done, you can also go back to the business, from now on, you don't have to follow me, I guess I will have to leave Chang'an in a while." After Fang Jing finished everything, he said to the two guards.
"Sir, this ...... Not good. A guard clasped his hands and said to Fang Jing.
"That's it, go back and hand over the errand, no one will blame you, besides, I'm going to leave Chang'an in a while, why are you following me?" If it was in Chang'an, with the personal guards of the two emperors, it would definitely be domineering, it could be said that it was bullish, but Fang Jing didn't want to stay in Chang'an for one more day.
Fang Jing raised his legs and walked towards the west gate, no matter what happened to the two guards, although they had been together for nearly a day, they had never asked their names, it was not that Fang Jing had forgotten, and Fang Jing didn't want to ask at all, too much intersection would always bring more trouble to himself, just like the Qian Waiter and Zhong Dahuai in Fangjia Village, but now there is only one Qian Waiter left, but Zhong Dahuai is dead.
Fang Jing also thought about going to Zhong Dahuai's house to see if there were any relatives, and then felt that Li Shimin would definitely not treat his family badly.
Fang Jing didn't care if it was late or early, after leaving the city gate, he walked slowly, as soon as the sun set, the day began to get dark, and the weather began to get cooler, Fang Jing still walked like a normal walk, with his hands behind his back and his head looking around from time to time.
At this time, there were no pedestrians on the road, only Fang Jing was strolling leisurely, and he didn't know what Fang Jing was shopping, seeing that the sky was about to get completely dark, but Fang Jing was walking slowly and unhurriedly, it really looked like an old lady walking.
Fang Jing actually wanted to go back to Fangjia Village, but after saying that it would take a while, she would definitely not be able to go back now, so she had to hang around outside, even if she was bored to pass the time, just like now.
Fang Jing walked slowly, walking to the west, when the crescent moon was in the sky, Fang Jing didn't even pay attention, maybe it was his own eyes that were good, maybe his perception was easy to use, at least so far, Fang Jing could accurately avoid the roadblocks in front of him, and he had never fallen into the ditch on the side of the road.
An hour later, Fang Jing suddenly stopped, because not far behind him, there was already a group of people in black following him, and they had already stepped into the range of his perception, which could be regarded as an ability of Fang Jing, perhaps it could also be said to be an instinct.
After Fang Jing stood still, he turned around and waited for this group of people in black to come, Fang Jing didn't know who this group of people were, but he was definitely not a good person, he followed him in the middle of the night, either killing people and selling goods, or doing business without capital.
"Look, surround him for me." A man in black, waving the weapon in his hand, shouted loudly to all the men in black, surrounding Fang Jing.
Fang Jing's state of mind at this time can be said to be unpleasant, standing quietly in the middle of the path, watching this group of black-clothed people outflanking him, just like looking at a group of little ants, there is no sympathy, no pity, some are just curious.
"You're the god you're called, aren't you? My lord said he would take you back to meet him, how about it? Please, right? The man in black who took the lead looked at Fang Jing like an insect, as if to say, if you don't follow me, then you won't want to leave tonight.
Fang Jing was curious, there are people in this world who can remember themselves, except for their own family, it seems that there is no one, of course, Li Shimin and them, they can't be said to remember, they can only be said to be a passerby in life, it is impossible to remember Fang Jing every day, and only his own family will be like this, of course, it is also possible that the other party Jing has a grudge, so it is difficult to say.
"Who is the master of your house? Why do you want to see me? I'm sure I've never met you before, have I? After hearing this, Fang Jing asked after thinking for a while.
"The master of my family is naturally the master of my family, and the master of my family just asked me to take you back to see him, whether it is good or disabled, the lord doesn't care, are you going by yourself? Or do you want me to wait and tie up? The man in black who took the lead, listening to Fang Jing's question, was very unhappy, and every sentence was in the tone of I am the boss.
"Lead the way." Fang Jing didn't care about it, but in his heart he wanted to see what kind of awesome man and how capable this so-called lord in their mouths was, and he began to look forward to it in his heart.
This group of people in the dark has their own roads, their own way of traveling, one will be east, one will be north, one will be west, one will be south, in exchange for ordinary people, it is estimated that they really can't remember the road, after all, this is not Chang'an City, let alone a town, but the wild, and it is already close to Qinling.
Fang Jing did not doubt that there was him, and as this group of black-clothed people walked forward, according to Fang Jing's estimate, they had already traveled for at least two and a half hours, from the crescent moon in the sky, until the crescent moon disappeared, and the dawn was approaching, and then they arrived at the location of the black-clothed people, a small farmhouse courtyard.
The man in black opened the door of the small courtyard of the farmhouse, and walked in, Fang Jing was not frightened, let alone afraid, and also raised his legs and followed the leader in black into the courtyard, and the other men in black also entered, closed the courtyard door, as if watching a prisoner, and stood in all corners.
The small courtyard is just an ordinary farmhouse courtyard, similar to Fang Jing's house, but the courtyard is not as big as Fang Jing's house, two thatched mud houses are side by side, there is a small thatched house with a stove on the side, there is a little light in the windows of the earth house, and there is a livestock shed not far away, it looks like it is really a farm yard, but perhaps, this is not necessarily a slaughter field.
"Lord, I have already brought back the people." The black-clothed leader didn't directly enter the earth house, but just knocked on the door, stood on the side and said a word to the earth house, Fang Jing knew through perception that there were two people in the earth house, what they looked like, but they didn't know.
The door of the earth house was not opened, until two quarters of an hour later, it suddenly opened, and out came a young woman, wearing green clothes and cloth shoes, holding a long sword, slender figure, her face was like a peach blossom, but with a cold face, staring at Fang Jing standing still in the courtyard.
"You are the kid in the east city of Chang'an City, who speaks wildly? I haven't seen you with multiple heads, multiple hands and feet, why do you dare to say those seven killing words? I've heard a lot of people say you can go to heaven and earth? Can thunder sound out of thin air? It seems that most of the lovers have been deceived, I have to compare you to a fairy, you are just a kid, what virtue can you do? ”
The woman stood at the door and stared at Fang Jing for a while, then she opened her mouth and said these words, so that Fang Jing never knew that she was still regarded as an immortal, it seems that there are more people in this world who still believe in gods and Buddhas, Fang Jing remembered that there is a record in the official history that Li Shimin will desperately suppress all kinds of religions, of course, except for Taoism.
"What did you do with you inviting me here? In the middle of the night, they didn't stop, they walked for a few hours, and they didn't bring bowls of water to drink. Fang Jing stood in the courtyard, but he didn't want to answer the woman's words, he just wanted to know that the person in this earthen house could really calm down.
"Ahem, Yu'er, please invite this little brother Fang into the house." The people in the earth house, after hearing Fang Jing's words, hurriedly called the woman to invite Fang Jing into the earth house.
And the person in this earthen house, at this time, didn't think about what Fang Jing would do, and shouted to the woman to invite Fang Jing into the earthen house, which can be regarded as hospitality, at least there is no need to stand in this courtyard to feed mosquitoes.
"Come in with me." The woman shouted to Fang Jing, and then she entered the earthen house first, ignoring Fang Jing in the courtyard.
Fang Jing directly raised his legs and went to the earthen house, entered the house, and looked at it, a little old man in a gray-white robe, sitting on a low couch, with gray beard and ruddy complexion, Fang Jing looked at this little old man, guessing that the age of this little old man should be no less than eighty or ninety years old, and even those with gray hair would not be less than anywhere, but this complexion was ruddy, and he wanted to pay more attention to health preservation.
"Brother Fang, sit." The little old man stretched out his hand and motioned for Fang Jing to sit on the low couch opposite them.
Fang Jing sat as he was told, staring at the old man and the young man opposite, but he didn't know why these two people invited him in the middle of the night, or even escorted him here.
"I heard that Brother Fang is a fairy-like figure, a few days ago, I just came out of this Taiyi Mountain, and I was thinking about going to Fangjia Village to find Brother Fang, but I didn't expect Brother Fang to come to Chang'an City today, so I invited Brother Fang to come over, and I didn't have to wait for a trip to Fangjia Village." The little old man stared at Fang Jing for a long time, and then he opened his mouth to speak, but he had a lot of questions in his heart.
"I'm not an immortal, I'm just an ordinary teenager in Fangjia Village, I have to eat, drink water, and sleep every day, and I will grow old like you in the future, and I will die the same." Although Fang Jing was calm in his heart, he must have been angry in his heart, he was escorted to this small farm yard, and he was interrogated like a prisoner, no one was happy, and he also said that he was going to Fangjia Village to find himself, so he said that he would also die like you.
"Boy, you dare to say that my lord is going to die, believe it or not, I will stab you to death?" The woman sitting next to the old man was unhappy, and directly pulled out her sword, rushed to Fang Jing, and pointed at Fang Jing and shouted loudly.
After hearing the voice, the black-clothed man outside directly drew his sword and rushed in, obviously it was already in a tense situation, but Fang Jing was still sitting on the low couch, staring at the little old man, Fang Jing wanted to see what kind of attitude this little old man had, if he really wanted to fight, then come, don't pretend.
The anger at the scene could be said to be extremely nervous, but only Fang Jing and the little old man were calm, staring at each other, just not talking, waiting for the other party to speak.
"Yu'er, wait a minute." The little old man finally opened his mouth and called for the woman to come back.
Fang Jing was curious, the little old man in front of him seemed to have some kung fu in his hands, just now when the little old man spoke, he stretched out his right hand and waved, the palms and backs of his hands were full of thick calluses, Fang Jing guessed, this little old man should belong to the kung fu in his hands, and the woman, although there were calluses on her hands, it was not thick, but the tiger's mouth was thicker than other places, and she was probably a good hand at making swords.
