In front of the Taishou Mansion, a group of guards gathered around a gorgeous carriage, and the Taishou dialect led the ladies out of the mansion to say goodbye.

"Jue'er, when you arrive in the capital, you have to be careful, and you can't act recklessly. You waited for this letter to arrive at the Luoyang Palace, and then presented it to the Luoyang King. ”

Fang Yan handed a letter to Fang Jue, and Fang Jue immediately put it in his arms.

"Father, take care of yourself."

Fang Jue didn't have much emotional support for this Taishou father, but he borrowed the body of someone else's son, so he had to pretend to be grateful, and in the future, he would have to borrow the power of others to continue to enjoy a rich life. Fang Jue also said goodbye to several stepmothers in general. It's just that when he was looking at the second lady Yang Yuting, the resentful eyes of the maid Juan'er next to him made him feel a little weak, in fact, this little girl is also pitiful, and she is bent on stammering herself, alas, wronged. The person is leaving, and his words are also good, Fang Jue finally said coldly: "Juan'er, you take good care of the second lady, I will order someone to bring you some good things." ”

Fang Jue received some gadgets brought back by Juan'er last time, all kinds of beautifully carved boxes and some ornaments. Fang Jue didn't want this maid to complain too much about her ruthlessness and injustice, and the debts she owed always had to be repaid.

When the maid Juan'er heard Fang Jue's words, her sad face of a bitter gourd resentful woman suddenly became happy, and she looked at Fang Jue affectionately and aggrievedly, but she didn't dare to show it too much, and she was very uncomfortable.

Fang Jue didn't like the third lady Dongmei and the fourth lady Qian Ke, so he said a few words of farewell on the surface.

When Fang Jue looked at the fifth lady Li Xuerou, Li Xuerou only responded with a smile. This woman knew that Fang Fu wanted to harm her people, and she had a special relationship with herself, and in front of her father, she really didn't know what to say.

"Does Jue'er have anything to say to me, Wuniang?"

It was Li Xuerou who spoke first, and she couldn't hear anything unusual on the surface, but as soon as she entered Fang Jue's ears, there was a different taste. Li Xuerou has always wanted Fang Jue to get the key for her, is it the key to Fangfu's vault. Fang Jue waved his hand a little helplessly, he left by himself, I don't know if this Wu Niang would go to Fang Yan to steal the key in person, and whether he would make a black hand against Fang Yan. Fang Jue was still a little worried, if Fang Yan fell, his glory and wealth would come to an end, at least with his current ability, it would not be enough to mix well in this Celestial Empire.

"Wu Niang, you should also take care of your body...... Father is the Taishou of Jiangning County, don't have anything to do, please take care of your father, Jue'er is here to thank you. ”

Of course, Li Xuerou also understood what Fang Jue meant, but she still responded with a smile. She complained about Fang Jue in her heart, this rebellious boy actually dared to play tricks on herself. Don't think that if you escape to the capital Chang'an, you won't be able to.

Fang Jue finally passed Li Xuerou's level, and the next step should be the sixth lady Xiao Hongmian. Xiao Hongmian just smiled slightly, this smile is so rare. Fang Jue thought that her little stepmother couldn't laugh, but she didn't expect it to be so sweet when she laughed. Fang Jue couldn't understand this stepmother who was younger than herself, so she could only say some polite words as usual. The sixth lady Xiao Hongmian only smiled slightly, and replied, and in a blink of an eye, she regained her calmness, it is really a pity that words are like gold, but the Fang Mansion is not bad for money, is it necessary to do this all day long! Fang Jue could vaguely feel that this little stepmother, who was not very old and had an expressionless face all day long, was hiding something, this was not normal, what was so strange, Fang Jue couldn't guess it, and he didn't bother to think about it, he was going to leave anyway.

For Fang Jue's departure, the happiest people are the people of Fang Mansion, they have been oppressed for a long time, and now they have finally been liberated, even happier than the New Year, the plague god is finally gone, and a new and beautiful life has finally come.

The carriage slowly drove away from the Taishou Mansion, and there were several carriages behind it, which were full of gold and silver jewelry, rare treasures, these were gifts for the king of Luoyang, and they were regarded as Fang Jue's dowry to marry the county lord. Fang Yan considered that escorting so many valuables might cause disaster, so he asked Fang Jue to go separately from these dowries. Fang Yan is really scheming and well-intentioned, and he doesn't want his son to have an accident.

Parting should be a sad scene, but in this complicated place like Fangfu, it is very calm. Everyone understood that as long as Fang Yan was still in front of Jiangning County, Fang Jue would not be able to return to Fang Mansion easily, unless he received the emperor's favor. Even so, it won't last long when I come back, and I have to go back to be a hostage.

Only Fang Yan watched his son travel for a long time, and he didn't know when the next meeting would be, although he had already arranged for Chang'an, the capital. Some of the maids in Fangfu pretended to be a young master who left the mansion and looked reluctant to give up, but in fact, they were happy in their hearts.

The carriage was driven by the groom Han Zhuang, and it seemed to be very stable. Under the leadership of Nan Feng and Xiao Yue, the surrounding more than a dozen guards were always vigilant against everything around them, and their lives were closely linked to the safety of the eldest young master Fang Jue. Inside the carriage, Fang Jue didn't look back and looked at the three maids in the carriage seriously.

Li'er and Bi'er were used to Fang Jue, although they were a little reluctant to follow, but they also sat upright with a well-behaved look, as long as they didn't provoke Fang Jue.

The maid Die'er was a little too restrained, burying her head, she didn't even have the courage to look at Fang Jue, she was really afraid of Fang Jue in her heart, and that day, Mian'er was ordered to be killed by Fang Jue in front of her eyes.

"Die'er, you seem to be afraid of me."

"No, no, no, no..."

Die'er was suddenly questioned by Fang Jue, she seemed incoherent, admitting and denying seemed to be wrong, Die'er really wanted to cry, so she left the Taishou mansion, and before the carriage left the city, this eldest young master Fang Jue began to tease herself, how can she live in the future. Die'er wanted to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy in a panic, but there were four people in the carriage at once, and there seemed to be no extra place for her to kneel.

Fang Jue was just someone who asked, why did he scare the little girl like this.

Han Zhuang, who was driving the carriage, heard movement in the carriage, and his expression was in a trance, and the carriage suddenly jolted.

Eh, I don't know if it's a good thing to choose Die'er and Han Zhuang to go to Beijing with him, this Die'er is afraid of himself, and Han Zhuang outside is also distracted, if he scares Die'er out of a bad way, then Han Zhuang doesn't want to fight with himself, the carriage is in his hands, and the lives of several people in the carriage are also handed over to him, forget it, it's better to close your eyes and recuperate.

Fang Jue's carriage passed through the city gate, and the guards at the city gate respectfully let him go.

At the gate of the city, there was a group of people waiting for Fang Jue to leave the city.

"Sister Ning'er, is it safe to place Cousin Dongge in the Night Tower?"

Chu Xiaoyi and Liu Jie's brothers and sisters heard the news that Fang Jue of Fangfu was going to enter Beijing as a hostage, so they discussed that they would get rid of Fang Jue halfway when Fang Jue left Jiangning County. In this way, not only does the dialect lose its beloved son, but the court does not have a son of the dialect as a hostage, so it will make other arrangements for the dialect.

"Brother Xiaoyi, of course the night building is safe, do you trust me anymore?"

Liu Yuning was already jealous of Chu Xiaoyi's concern for Mu Dongge, and now she is still a little suspicious of her arrangement, she is really so aggrieved that she wants to cry.

"No, no, Sister Ning'er, I naturally believe it, it's just my uncle's family, and my cousin is the only one left, I'm a little nervous, nervous."

"Hurry up, the young master of the Fang family has gone out of the city, and when he slaughters the enemy's son, it can be regarded as avenging his relatives."

Liu Ju was a little anxious, watching Fang Jue's carriage disappear at the gate of the city, urging his sister and Chu Xiaoyi not to chat.

In the backyard of the night building, Qin Hongyan came to an elegant room. There were several women sitting inside, dressed very luxuriously.

"Master, the owner of the night building asks to see you."

The moon slave respectfully reported to his master, Ye Ling'er, the county lord of the Celestial Empire.

"County Lord, Fang Jue, the eldest prince of the Taishou Mansion, left Jiangning County today."

Qin Hongyan reported to Ye Ling'er very respectfully. The master behind the night tower is the king of Luoyang, so of course Qin Hongyan has to be respectful and obedient to Ye Ling'er. Ye Ling'er asked her to inquire about Fang Jue's movements, she was a little puzzled, but she had to do it.

"Alright, you prepare the horses for us."

"Are the two county lords leaving Jiangning County?"

"Yes, let's leave today, the intelligence of Jiangning County has to work hard for the owner of the Red Word Workshop."

"It is an honor for my subordinates to serve the prince, and my subordinates will prepare."

Qin Hongyan respectfully withdrew from the room, she didn't know why the two county lords were interested in Fang Jue, that day the Turks secretly attacked people, and thanks to the Ling'er county lord's action, presumably these two county lords should not have any ill will towards Fang Jue.

"Xiao Yue'er, can you still ride a horse?"

"Sister Ling'er, it's just that I'm not used to the soil these days, and it should be no problem to ride a horse."

"Okay, we have to get rid of Fang Fu Gongzi before he enters Chang'an, so that my little Yue'er doesn't have to marry him."

"Sister Ling'er, is he really that bad? Besides, he's his uncle himself... If we kill him, will my uncle be unhappy? ”

"Don't worry, everyone is dead, my father won't embarrass us, and if we kill someone and deal with it, no one will know."

Qiao Xiaoyue is relatively simple, and she has never killed anyone, so she has some consideration in her heart. However, he has listened to Ye Ling'er since he was a child, and Ye Ling'er is also really good to Qiao Xiaoyue. Therefore, Qiao Xiaoyue could only follow the idea of her sister Ling'er and kill herself, the quasi-county horseman. Sin, sin, this is the murder of your husband. However, for the county lord Qiao Xiaoyue, who is not deeply involved in the world, she still doesn't know that this is a big crime that heaven cannot tolerate.

Qiao Xiaoyue and Ye Ling'er are both nobles of the Celestial Empire, and in this era of frequent wars, the emperor of the Celestial Empire very much encourages everyone to actively join the army, and also allows women of the Celestial Empire to ride horses. Therefore, the horseback riding skills of the two county lords have also reached a certain level under the guidance of famous teachers, and even the maids around them are extremely powerful.

Although the two county lords have lived together since childhood, their personalities and hobbies are somewhat different. Lord Ling'er likes to dance with guns and sticks, so he has practiced kung fu that many men sigh at themselves. The county lord of Xiaoyue likes to be a good girl, she learns some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and does not like to fight, kill, and compete.

But because of this, Qiao Xiaoyue's maid Hongshan is good at martial arts. So of the four masters and servants, only Qiao Xiaoyue doesn't know martial arts.

The four of them went out of the night tower, changed into the costumes of the knights of the rivers and lakes, and followed by more than a dozen palace guards, all of whom were not weak in martial arts, and they were also dressed as knights of the rivers and lakes.

Horses crossed the street, and a group of chivalrous warriors had their own murderous aura, so that passers-by hurriedly dodged. Qiao Xiaoyue heard Ye Ling'er say that Fang Jue is a person, she is a well-known rich and evil young man in Jiangning County, she is the lord of the Heavenly Dynasty, one of her two uncles is the emperor of the Celestial Empire, and the other is also the most powerful Luoyang King of the Celestial Empire. How could she be willing to bury her own Xin Fu in the hands of such a person, it is not worth it, it is not worth it, for the sake of her own future, Qiao Xiaoyue finally agreed to this plan to assassinate her future husband at the instigation of the county lord of Ling'er, although the two have not really met.

Fang Jue and his entourage left Jiangning County and headed towards the capital Chang'an. If there is a fast horse, you can reach Chang'an in more than a day, but Fang Jue is a carriage, bumpy all the way, slow and leisurely, I am afraid that there is no four or five days that will not be able to arrive.

Fang Jue threw aside the curtain of the carriage and saw the bustling passers-by, carrying large and small packages, a little curious.

"Are they out playing?"

Nan Feng, who was next to the carriage, looked at Fang Jue and poked his head out to ask, presumably the young master has been staying in the rich land of Jiangning County all the year round, and his family background is rich, how do he know that these people in front of him are all homeless. There are constant wars in the world, disasters and famines are rampant every year, and the people of the Celestial Empire are forced to flee with their families.

"Young master, it's just some disaster victims, so don't worry about it."

Nan Feng thought that Fang Jue was worried about his safety when he saw the homeless, so he was relieved.

Fang Jue didn't care about Nanfeng's words, the carriage continued to move forward, and he could see some men, women, and children in tattered clothes along the way.

"Stop."

Fang Jue saw an old man holding a small child, trembling and walking, and suddenly the child fell to the ground.

"Young Master, what's the matter?"

Han Zhuang stopped the carriage, and Nan Feng got off his horse and asked.

"Let's take a look."

Nan Feng watched Fang Jue walk towards the young and old, but he didn't have any worries, with himself by his side, he was still confident in dealing with ordinary assassinations.

"Child, you can't sleep, you will be in Chang'an in a few days, where there are big steamed buns and white rice porridge."

An old man in his sixties, with ten fingers as thin as firewood, so hungry that only skin and bone cheeks remained, and he could no longer form any expression, and his eyes were deeply sunken and dry and confused.

Nan Feng first went to check the child in the old man's arms, touched the child's snort with a finger, and probed the child's pulse.

"Young Master, he's dead."

"Dead?"

Fang Jue was a little surprised, and then felt a little sad in his heart, he could still walk just now, and he returned to Huangquan in the blink of an eye.

"Bring some food and water."

Fang Jue shouted towards the carriage, Li'er saw the scene in front of her from a distance, heard Fang Jue's shout, hesitated for a while, and then hurriedly took the water and food.

"Old man, mourning and change."

Fang Jue handed over some food to the old man, but the old man kept holding the child in his arms and refused to accept Fang Jue's kindness.

"Thank you for your kindness, and please give these alms to others, the old man breathed a sigh of relief, he just wanted to take his grandson to Chang'an to find a way to live, and now I don't have any worries."

Li'er is more emotional, looking at such a scene, I can't help but tears rolling down.

Although Fang Jue was a little moved, he was helpless, the child was dead, and the old man was unwilling to accept relief. I didn't expect the world outside the prosperity of Jiangning County to be so cruel and ruthless. Fang Jue finally put the water and food beside the old man, and then turned around and got into the carriage.

As soon as the carriage started, I heard Li'er Wa crying.

"Li'er, what's wrong with you."

"Less... Young master, is he dead too? ”

When Fang Jue heard this, he hurriedly opened the curtain and saw the old man just now lying down with the child in his arms, motionless. The sun shone on their pale cheeks, the breeze floated, and the weeds raged.

"Nanfeng, you can call a few people to bury them."

The three little girls in the carriage were also sobbing quietly at the moment, as if they could empathize. The fate of poor families is so miserable, sometimes there is no choice between life and death. Fang Jue was also a little sad in his heart, so it was not good to interrupt the sadness of the three little girls.

This is the current situation of the Celestial Empire, the borders are full of blood, the internal displacement is surging, and I don't know how many innocent and poor people die every day.

What can I do, a rich kid, even the people around him can't change, how can I talk about such a great conjecture to help the world.

The carriage slowly drove away, Fang Jue closed his eyes, and a wry smile was the only self-comfort he could do.
