Chapter 237: Peeping

Although Fang Xie had some doubts about the appearance of Wudang Mountain Dao people in Chang'an, even Xie Fuyao didn't know what they were doing, and Fang Xie couldn't find out. But he at least knew where the Taoists in Wudang Mountain lived, so the first thing he did after going back was to ask the scholar Chen Xiaoru to go to the Shunde Inn to keep an eye on.

Even he didn't know why he was so sensitive to the Taoists of Wudang Mountain coming to Chang'an. Chen Xiaoru was a person sent by Su Buxing, so he naturally would not refuse what Fang Xie explained. took off the new clothes that Fang Xie bought for him, and put on the dirty Confucian shirt again, Chen Xiaoru shook it three times in one step.

Until now, Fang Xie actually doesn't know what these three people are good at. But since Su Buxing chose such three people, there must be some basis.

Early this morning, he received news from the little eunuch Mu San, it is said that His Majesty mentioned Prince Yi when he saw Huaiqiu Gongyu Manlou and others, and this was the first time in these days that His Majesty showed dissatisfaction in front of the courtiers. Fang Xie keenly sensed something from it, perhaps...... The Emperor's patience was really going to be worn out.

Therefore, he had to speed up the collection of evidence of Prince Yi's secret involvement, although he did not know why the emperor's attitude had suddenly changed. He estimated that it had something to do with the departure of the army on February 12, but after thinking about it, he couldn't think of anything to do with it.

Thinking of the army going out that day, Fang Xie had to think that the Taoist of Wudang Mountain had arrived in the capital at this time, was it inseparable from this matter?

Xie Fuyao is right, ** is a person of the same generation as the Crane Daoist. This is still because Xiao Zhenren was named the leader of the Great Sui Daozong by the emperor, otherwise Xiao Zhenren would be regarded as Zhang Zhenren's junior in terms of seniority. Wudang Mountain sent such a weighty person, who was it aimed at?

Fang Xie sat down on the chair, and the little girl Zhuang Die brought up the footwashing water very obediently. Warm it and soak your feet just right. Fang Xie smiled at her, and while she was squatting down to take off her boots for herself, he reached out and touched a small piece of smooth back that Zhuang Die exposed.

Zhuang Die's face flushed and dodged.

She squatted on the ground and asked while rubbing Fang Jie's feet, "Is Childe tired today?" ”

Fang Xie shook his head with a smile and said: "How can you be tired, it's not to work in the fields, there is nothing tiring in the martial arts academy, but it is very boring." ”

Zhuang Die was surprised: "Shouldn't it be very busy in the martial arts academy?" There are a lot of things to learn, such as the art of war, battle formations, martial arts, and horsemanship, all of which take up time and are tiring. Childe said that he was not tired, but he thought it was because you were strong. ”

"How do you know if I'm sturdy or not?"

Fang Xie smiled, hooked Zhuang Die's jaw with his fingers and laughed. Zhuang Die blushed and dodged, and was silent for a while and asked, "The friendship between Gongzi and Prince Yi must be very deep." ”

Fang Xie asked, "Why do you ask that?" ”

Zhuang Die said: "Otherwise, the prince went to the Crescent Moon Tower the day before, why did the people in Prince Yi's mansion redeem me the next day?" Childe's ...... that night I was drunk that night, and it was expected that the people who came to Prince Yi's mansion would soon find out, and in order to prevent others from touching me again, they spent money to redeem me and send me to Gongzi. ”

Fang Xie snorted: "Prince Yi is indeed very good to me. ”

Zhuang Die paused and asked, "I just don't understand, why did the people in Prince Yi's Mansion know so quickly?" Childe was still wearing makeup when he went, and even if he stared at it, he couldn't recognize it at a glance. ”

Fang Xie sneered in his heart, but the expression on his face was still very gentle: "Prince Yi's reputation is all over the world, and people who want to come to Xinyue Tower are also very familiar with Prince Yi." Maybe the next day, when Prince Yi went to the Crescent Tower, he told him a joke. That's why he let people redeem you. ”

"Oh......"

Zhuang Die sighed and then asked: "I heard that Prince Yi claims to be the most prosperous person in the world, shouldn't a big man like him put state affairs first?" Why do you always linger in the Qinglou painting boat? ”

"Prince Yi loves beauties."

Fang Xie said seriously: "Prince Yi is intoxicated with the mountains and rivers, lingering in the painting boat Qinglou. is because he is a truly elegant person, with a temperament like idle clouds and wild cranes, and naturally does not want to be entangled in mundane things. ”

Zhuang Die hung his head and wiped his feet for Fang Jie: "But when I was in the building, I heard that Prince Yi is a person with real skills." If a person like him does not enter the court, it is really a loss for the Great Sui. When my sisters and I had nothing to do, they all said that Prince Yi had real talent in his chest, and he was really the talent of the prime minister. ”

Fang Xie snorted: "It's better to say less such things in the future, Prince Yi naturally has his reasons for not entering the court." It's okay to talk about these things at home on weekdays, but it's not allowed to talk nonsense with outsiders...... Although I haven't met Prince Yi a few times, I also admire the prince's personality very much. If he enters the court, it will naturally be a great thing for Dasui! ”

Zhuang Die nodded: "Don't worry, son, I don't know anyone, who can I talk to?" ”

"That's right...... I heard that Gongzi, you also have a deep friendship with Wu Yiyi, the richest man in the Great Sui? When they were in the building, they all said that Gongzi, you live in the Sanjin Hou Mansion. Because they knew that Gongzi was personable, those sisters also discussed going to the gate of the Hou Mansion more often in their spare time. ”

"Really?"

Fang Xie smiled: "If I knew that I was so popular with women, I should have gone to the Crescent Moon Tower as soon as possible." ”

Seeing that Fang Xie moved the topic away without a trace, Zhuang Die's face changed slightly and then asked with a smile: "Childe, Wu Yiyi is a legendary figure, you are familiar with him, can you tell me about it?" ”

……

……

After taking a bath under Zhuang Die's service, when Fang Xie returned to the room, he saw Shen Tianfan reading a book under the lamp. Shen Tianfan's temperament has become more and more quiet recently, and in the past, it was like a June day. Seeing Fang Xie enter the door, she raised her head and smiled softly and asked, "How is it, how does it feel to be a beauty in the bath?" ”

Fang Xie pursed his lips and said, "A Chai He girl, I'm not interested in looking at it!" ”

The righteousness of these words was awe-inspiring, but Shen Tianfan couldn't help but glance at him, his eyes followed Fang Jie's face all the way down, and stayed somewhere where he was still standing for a while.

Fang Xie smiled wryly: "This is a natural reaction......

He sat down next to Shen Tianfan, naturally took her in his arms, and whispered in her ear: "This little girl has been testing my relationship with Wu Yiyi. Ming'er asked the black boy to follow her quietly to see how she spread the news. From Ming'er onwards, all the things of buying vegetables and cooking were handed over to her, giving her a convenient condition. Other than that...... It is precisely because she has been testing the relationship between me and Wu Yiyi that she ...... It seems that they can't help but make a move on Wu Yi. ”

"What's the reason for the delay?"

Shen Tianfan asked softly: "Those adults in the court didn't make a move, even the emperor doesn't seem to be in a hurry to snatch the goods from all over the world." ”

Fang explained: "Maybe the emperor is busy sending troops for a while, and after February 12, who knows if he will suddenly issue an order to return the goods to the imperial court?" ”

"Household Department?"

Shen Tianfan asked again.

"It may also be directly taken over to the palace, and the emperor will send a trusted person to take the helm. Receiving a cargo through the world is equivalent to the Great Sui getting at least a few decades of taxes for nothing...... If the emperor is not greedy, it is strange. As for why those adults haven't done it yet, maybe it's because the things in Wu Yiyi's hands are shocked, and they don't dare to act rashly before they get their hands. ”

He thought for a moment and continued: "But if the emperor really acts against the world after sending troops, those people will definitely not be able to sit still. The days before the troops are numbered, and they are now more anxious than Wu Yi, so ...... Wu Yiyi seemed very calm and calm. ”

"Fang Xie ......"

Shen Tianfan opened his mouth, and stopped talking.

"What's wrong?"

Shen Tianfan was silent for a while and then asked softly, "What if...... If those people in the court really want to attack Wu Yi, will you intervene? ”

After this sentence was asked, Fang Xie also fell silent.

After a long time, Fang Xie slowly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Originally, I persuaded myself many times, but I don't have the ability to interfere in this matter, so it's better to hide as far as possible. But it didn't work...... There's not much I can do, but I still have to do my best to save Wu Yiyi's life. I can't help him keep the goods going around the world, but I can barely help him kill some people. ”

"In doing so, won't all your efforts in Chang'an City be in vain?"

"It's in vain...... There are some things that I know I can't touch, but I still have to do them in the end. If we can hide it, it's best, if we can't hide it, it's a big deal for us to escape from Chang'an City together. Converged with the big dogs and found a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to live an ordinary life. ”

"Are you willing?"

Shen asked the fan.

"Unwilling."

Fang Xie replied: "That's why I have to think about what to do, I don't want Wu Yi to die, and I don't want to cut off my future." It's hard to have it both ways...... If I hadn't thought of a way before those people did it, I would have to be stupid. ”

"You and I, plus the people around Wu Yi, should have no problem keeping him alive and killing him out of Chang'an City."

Fang Xie sighed: "As long as the emperor doesn't interfere." ”

"Why do you think the emperor won't interfere?"

"Because he wants the goods to go all over the world, not the head of Wu Yiyi. The courtiers made a fuss, and Wu fled together, and the emperor could save a lot of trouble...... And, who knows if he just deliberately waited to see how many clowns jumped out? By far the last person I could guess was the emperor sitting on the dragon chair...... When others think about things, it is not easy to think about it after three days. But when the emperor thinks about things, he can often think of a few years, or even more than ten years later. ”

Thinking of this, Fang Xie was suddenly stunned.

"Now that the Great Sui is rich and strong, it is not that it cannot support a war that lasts for several years...... The emperor doesn't need to rush to receive the goods and go all over the world, right? With such courage, he didn't necessarily only fight against Meng Yuan. If it continues to fight with Meng Yuantian for a long time, maybe it will be ten or twenty years later, and the national strength of the Great Sui will gradually decline...... And at that time, the emperor was already very old. Isn't it good to leave the goods to the new emperor? ”

"Good!"

Fang Xie replied to himself: "It's definitely better than now!" ”

Shen Tianfan couldn't help but ask, "Have you figured out something?" ”

"Yes!"

Fang Xie couldn't help but laugh: "Wu Yiyi must have thought of this too!" At first, I thought that he was only so confident because he held the handle of the courtiers in his hand, but now I understand that he still has a card in his hand, that is, the prince is young! So why did the emperor show his interest in the world of goods, so that the adults all jumped up in disease? ”

"Because the emperor is going to kill someone."

Fang Xie sneered: "It's a pity, I'm afraid it's too late when those adults wake up." And these people ...... Most of them are close to Prince Yi! At the end of the day, the emperor's goal was to dethrone all those who spoke for Prince Yi. No wonder Wu Yiyi has confidence...... He's basically teaming up with the emperor to make a big show! Someone like the emperor today...... How could it be possible to tolerate courtiers forming parties for personal gain? ”
