Chapter 138: The Second and the First
After Fang Xie got up, he wrote a few letters and handed them to the subordinates of Sanjin Houfu, asking them to help send them out, one for Yu Xiao and one for Pei Chuxing. After all, I promised someone to visit, but I had to explain why I missed the appointment because I was unconscious. The third letter was very short, only one address was written, and he handed it to his subordinates and asked him to send it to Xie Fuyao, and two more letters were for Zhang Qi and Mo to wash the knife, and then he changed into dry clothes and walked out of the Sanjin Mansion.
When he walked out of the door, Fang Jie's eyes were pierced by the sun's rays, and it took a while to get used to it before he opened his eyes again. In the past two days, I didn't feel comfortable sleeping, and my whole body was wrinkled as if I couldn't stretch out.
When she walked to the courtyard gate, the little girl Wu Yinyu caught up from behind, twisted her waist that was already attractive enough, and asked with a straight face: "What are you going to do!" ”
Fang Xie smiled: "Go and relax." ”
"Take me!"
Wu Yinyu said in a tone that could not be questioned.
"Why? The people I went to meet were all men. ”
"I don't care who I see, but you have to take me!"
"Why?"
"No reason"
"Anyone you see has to take with you?"
"A must!"
"We're going to the Qinglou."
"You...... Shameless......"
"Still going?"
"Why not!"
Wu Yinyu stomped his feet, pretending to be very indifferent, and said, "Isn't it the Qinglou, it's not that I haven't seen it." ”
She paused her still full chest to show her courage. Fang Xie naturally liked this kind of behavior, and he glared at the two upright ones that were beginning to take shape, and even stretched out his tongue and licked his lips. Wu Yinyu's face flushed, and she subconsciously took a few steps back and clasped her hands on her chest.
"You...... Look at it again, I'll have your eyes gouged out! ”
"I'm scared"
Fang Xie shrugged his shoulders and turned to walk out the door. Wu Yinyu looked at the back of the scoundrel and gritted his teeth, stomped his foot and chased after him.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll sell you into the Qinglou?"
Fang Xie said as he walked.
Wu Yinyu pursed his lips and said, "Even if you have the guts, can you sell it?" The stupid guy doesn't know yet, the largest green buildings in Chang'an City are my father's property. If you want to sell me, someone will immediately chop you into meat and throw you into the river to feed the king. ”
"Huh?"
Fang Xie was aroused by this sentence: "It turns out that your father is the biggest bustard in Chang'an City, you tell me which one he opened, will it be possible to get a discount next time I go?" ”
"Die!"
Wu Yinyu kicked at Fang Jie, and Fang Xie jumped to dodge. Wu Yinyu, who didn't succeed, waved his fist and caught up, and Fang Xie smiled and said a flower fist embroidered leg. The puffing Wu Yinyu chased hard behind, and the skirt was raised, revealing two white calves. Fang Xie looked back and smiled as she ran, and the girl became more and more unconvinced, and ran faster and faster. The faster she ran, the more beautiful things Fang Xie saw.
When he was about to go out, Fang Xie suddenly stopped his feet, and Wu Yinyu didn't have time to stop and hit him in the back all of a sudden.
"Tell you to run! Tell you to run! ”
The little girl who kept smashing her fist on Fang Jie's back didn't notice the scattered gold Hou who was just about to enter the gate and the fat man who seemed to be by his side all the time.
"I've seen Master Hou"
Fang Xie endured the thumping on his back and leaned over to salute, and Wu Yi coughed lightly. Wu Yinyu noticed that her father was back, her face flushed, and she stepped aside and pretended that nothing had happened.
"Miss did well in the exam."
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, he smiled and said: "Nine exams, three are lower-middle, four are upper-middle, and one is excellent." ”
Fang Xie folded his fingers and calculated: "There is still one door missing?" ”
Wu Yinyu glared at him fiercely, and Fang Xie remembered that Miss Wu didn't participate in the last competition. But speaking of which, it may have been wise for her not to compete in the final competition.
He smiled awkwardly, pointed to the tip of his nose and asked, "What about me?" ”
Wu Yi took out a handkerchief and wiped the fine beads of sweat on Wu Yinyu's forehead, looked back at Fang Xie and snorted coldly: "It seems that you have to move out of my house." ”
"Why?"
Fang asked.
The fat man smiled and said, "Because you are worth a lot now, the house money you give has to go up." ”
"How did I do on the exam?"
Fang Xie asked.
Wu Yiyi simply ignored him, took Wu Yinyu's hand and said, "Although you did well in the exam, I still have to discuss it with you." When I went to see Xiao Zhenren this morning, I mentioned that he asked you to go back to the One Qi Meditation Retreat. I've already arranged the carriage and horses, and you'll leave early tomorrow morning. See what you need and bring it with you. ”
"Is this a discussion with me?"
Wu Yinyu's face changed, and she broke free of Wu Yiyi's hand and walked quickly to her room. Fang Xie was stunned, opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. The fat man pulled him and shook his head to leave it alone. Wu Yiyi didn't care about the solution, and chased Wu Yinyu to the courtyard. The two fathers and daughters ran one after the other, and Fang Xie didn't know why he was a little envious when he saw it.
"What's going on?"
Fang asked.
The fat man sighed, was silent for a while, and suddenly asked Fang Jie: "Is my young lady beautiful?" ”
Fang Xie nodded and said, "Although it is still in the period of not being weaned, it is undeniably beautiful." ”
"Your Majesty said the same."
The fat man shook his head in distress and said: "You say beautiful, Your Majesty also says beautiful, everyone says beautiful, then my young lady is naturally extremely beautiful." When I saw you and Miss chasing and fighting just now, a youthful breath came to my face...... Uh, I mean you're both the same age, so it doesn't look bad. But Your Majesty...... It's already in ...... 40s."
Fang Xie suddenly understood, and then his heart was blocked.
"Understood."
He said.
Jiu Secai sighed helplessly and said: "Now the place where Miss An Ansheng can grow up for a few more years seems to be the only place in Qingle Mountain." ”
"And how many years from now?"
Fang asked.
"Who knows?"
The wine cast out his hands and walked into the courtyard. After the fat and round figure of the wine-colored wealth disappeared, Fang Xie remembered that he had never said how he did in the exam. Now that the list has been released, Fang Xie is not in a hurry. He tidied up his clothes and went out, walking in the direction of Nancheng.
……
……
The small shop mentioned by Xie Fuyao was not far from the city gate, and Fang Xie took a lot of effort to find it. When he arrived, Xie Fuyao was already waiting for him. The table was also clean and there was nothing but a pot of tea. Obviously, this son from a famous family knows how to respect others, and he will not order food if they are not there.
"What did you say was delicious last time?"
Fang Xie asked after sitting down in a chair.
"Dog meat"
Xie Fuyao beckoned Xiao Er to come over to add tea, pointed to the steaming big iron pot at the door of the back kitchen of this small shop, and said, "When I first came to Chang'an City, my father took me here to eat once. Since then, I have never forgotten it, and I always feel that no matter how much delicacies I eat, it is better to eat a big bowl of hot stewed dog meat and steamed buns. ”
Fang Xie wanted to say that you are really cheap, but because the relationship has not reached the point of such familiarity, he swallowed back the words. The two of them talked for a while, and Zhang Madness and Mo Xidao came together. As soon as the two of them entered the door, they asked Fang Xie how he was, and whether his injuries were healed. Fang Xie smiled and pointed to the big iron pot and said, "I'm strong enough to kill it myself."
Seeing that he was fine, Zhang Yan joked: "Are you talking about the pot?" ”
Because after Fang Xie was captured by the old monk that day, Xie Fuyao didn't care whether the enemy's cultivation was high or low and chased him directly. Therefore, Zhang Mad and Mo Xidao's impression of him has changed greatly, the border army brothers are all lifelong friendships, and they can rest assured that they will hand over their backs to their comrades, and a person who can be fearless of strong enemies for others, they are also willing to make friends.
"By the way, Fang Jie, we met your friend when we came here just now."
"Who?"
"Cui Liushang"
"Huh? Where is it? ”
Fang Xie hurriedly asked.
"At this time, it is estimated that you have already left Chang'an City, and if you ride out of the city alone, you will not be able to catch up with you no matter how much you chase at this time. I had a couple of conversations with him about your injury. It can be seen that he is quite worried about you, maybe because he was still a little unable to think about being removed from the Martial Arts Academy, and after hesitating for a while, he still said that he would not go to see you. I know that people from a family like him have pride in their hearts, and they should not look at you because they can't get over their faces. ”
Fang Xie nodded, remembering that honest and loyal guy, his heart was a little astringent.
He said that he planned to take some roads after he went back, and even if he couldn't enter the martial arts academy, he would enter the army. It is estimated that the big stone is blocked in his heart, and if he comes back without arguing, he will not be able to untie the knot. ”
Zhang Qiang said with some emotion.
"With his temperament, maybe it's not too bad to have some setbacks."
Fang Xie sighed, he was worried about his future before entering Chang'an City, but he never thought that Cui Luo Chamber of Commerce would not be able to enter the Yanwu Academy. Now that he has been admitted to the Martial Arts Academy, but Cui Luoshang has been removed, such a result is indeed unexpected, or if he changes the solution, Cui Luoshang is afraid that he will not feel good in his heart.
The four of them talked about the old monk they met that day, and Mo Xidao firmly thought that it was from the Buddhist sect. Fang Xie didn't want to lie to his friend, but he had to tell a lie. He said that it was a guy who pretended to be a Buddhist sect and tried to assassinate His Majesty, either from Eastern Chu or the remnants of the Shang Kingdom.
Mo Xidao thought for a while and said: "It's also possible, I have been to Dongchu, and I know that the people of Dongchu seem to be obedient to the Great Sui on the surface, but in fact they are full of hostility towards the Great Sui. Although I have never been to southern Xinjiang, the remnants of those who want to come to Shangguo must be the same. ”
Fang Xie Xin said that if you are a native of Chu and a merchant country, and your home is robbed by the Great Sui, two-thirds of your family will be hated.
Fang Xie lied to Mo Xidao, but in fact, there was nothing he could do. If it was purely for the sake of the imperial court, Fang Fang would not have explained it, and he would have followed Mo Xidao, but the people of the two Buddhist sects involved him. For his own sake, he had to lie. As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but think of what the old monk looked like at that time.
When he slashed out the knife, the old monk seemed to understand something. He didn't hear what he whispered clearly, but before he fell unconscious, he saw the relieved expression on the old monk's face. Fang Xie even had the illusion that he was not dead, but that the old monk deliberately showed mercy.
But it doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense at all.
Zhang Mad was silent for a while, lowered his voice and asked Fang Jie: "I heard that the imperial court may want to use troops abroad, but I don't know where to start a war, and now there are not many places to fight. It seems that it is better to keep them to pay a large sum of money every year. Could it be the Northern Barbarians? ”
He was a border army in Anyuan City in Northern Xinjiang, and he had dealt with the Northern Barbarians for half his life, so he naturally hoped that the Great Sui would send troops to the Northern Barbarians.
"I haven't heard of it"
Fang Jie's heart tightened, and he said that how could the news be leaked?
Xie Fuyao's face also changed slightly, and after thinking about it, he said: "If the imperial court really wants to use troops abroad, I won't enter this martial arts academy." ”
"Why?"
Fang asked.
Xie Fuyao said: "After three years of performing martial arts, it is better to fight with the outside world." ”
Fang Xie thought about it, this is indeed the truth, in the martial arts academy, you have to squeeze into the top three, and when you graduate, you can mix with the five-grade military position, if there is a war with the outside world, stuff some silver into the army, even if you start from a small army commander, even if you start from a small army commander, as long as you have real skills and dare to fight and kill, it is not difficult for people like Xie Fuyao to get ahead. After a big war, as long as you don't die, it is not difficult to get the military position of Wupin.
Just when Fang Xie and the three of them were a little emotional because of Xie Fuyao's words, a little eunuch in brocade clothes suddenly walked in from outside, first glanced at the room with arrogant eyes, and found that Fang Xie and them immediately walked over here.
"Master Fang, I can be regarded as looking for you, let's go, go to Changchun Garden with our family, Your Majesty is waiting for you."
The person who came was the little eunuch Mu San whom Fang Xie knew.
"What's so urgent?"
Fang Xie got up and asked.
Mu Sanyi was stunned and asked in surprise, "Why don't you know yet?" ”
"Know what?"
"You...... Nine excellent courses, but we are the second person to get this result since the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty. He is also the first person in the past hundred years since Emperor Taizong! ”
