Chapter 852: Gifts come to the door

Fang Xie took Mo Ning's hand and walked slowly into the main gate of Mu Mansion, this pair of beautiful people attracted the attention of the little guy who welcomed the guests at the door of Mu Mansion, and they couldn't help but keep watching. Mu Guangling, Duke of Ningguo, was waiting at the door in formal clothes, and when he saw Fang Xie coming over, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him with a smile: "I have long heard that Duke Zhen Guo is a young talent that comes once in a century in the Great Sui, and when I saw it today, I realized that I had heard so many beautiful words before, and it was not enough to praise the demeanor of Duke Zhenguo." ”

Fang Xie clasped his fists and saluted: "Ning Guogong praised falsely, and he was extremely frightened. ”

Mu Guangling came over with a smile, pulled Fang Jie's arm and walked inside: "Last time the dog came back and said that the Duke of Zhenguo was going to come to my house as a guest, I have been waiting and looking forward to it, and today I finally looked forward to you." Although you and I are the first time we have met, I have long heard the name of Zhenguogong. With his own strength to protect the southwest of the Great Sui, expel the barbarians, and pacify the Southern Yan, no one in the world can match the greatness of this feat. ”

He said as he walked: "I admire Yinghao the most, and I am really happy to meet Zhenguo Gong today." ”

Fang Xie smiled and said: "This time I came to be a private matter, I didn't dare to disturb the house, it happened to meet the little grandfather is also fate, if you don't come to visit again, it will be rude." ”

"Where is the need to be so polite."

Mu Guangling said: "After the dog came back, he praised Zhenguo Gong a lot, and even cited him as an example. If he doesn't see you, he doesn't know the height of the sky, he has been arrogant since he was a child, and this time he finally met someone who convinced him, which will be of great benefit to him in the future. ”

The words came out of his mouth, and there was not the slightest hint of hypocrisy in his tone. Fang Xie couldn't help but praise in his heart, it was really good to be able to say the words of conscience so sincerely.

The two of them exchanged pleasantries as they walked, saying some dispensable compliments. After arriving in the living room, there is a small servant serving fragrant tea, which is a rock tea produced in Wuyi Mountain in the south of the Yangtze River, which is very valuable.

Mu Guangling said a few more polite words, and then asked about the southwest of the Great Sui, and Fang Xie said lightly about the expulsion of the Black Flag Army and the extermination of Nanyan, and Mu Guangling was very appreciative. Chatting with a person like Mu Guangling, there will never be an embarrassing time when there is nothing to say, this person is extremely enthusiastic, but he is not unfamiliar, and he can always find a topic.

"At this time in Dasui, it is precisely the need for manpower like Zhen Guogong to turn the tide."

Mu Guangling sighed after listening to Fang's explanation of some things in the southwest: "I also wanted to lead the troops to the east to serve the country, but I didn't dare to leave my post without the will of the imperial court." I was ordered to defend the eastern frontier and protect the safety of tens of millions of people, even if I was in a hurry, I couldn't leave easily. Whenever I think that the country is in great trouble and I can't do anything, my heart is inexplicably painful. ”

He was silent for a while and then said, "If there is a decree from the imperial court, I will immediately lead the sons of Dongjiang to fight the traitors to the death." It's just that as a courtier, it is the responsibility to defend the land. I'm worried that once I leave with my troops, there will be chaos in Eastern Xinjiang. Although I don't have any skills, but with me in Dongjiang for a day, I can still be too safe and stable here. ”

"Ning Guogong is the pillar of the country."

Fang explained: "The Great Sui is now in chaos everywhere, but the eastern Xinjiang is as peaceful as before, what I have seen and heard along the way has shocked me quite a lot, the people are happy, and the legal system is peaceful, which is enough to show that Ning Guogong has worked hard, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess specially instructed before I came, if you see Ning Guogong, you must thank you on her behalf." ”

"This is the duty of a human minister, how dare you let Her Royal Highness the eldest princess say thank you?"

Mu Guangling said: "My greatest wish in life is that the people of the world are safe and peaceful, when the emperor asked me to defend the eastern frontier, that is a great trust, how dare I not do my best?" ”

"That's right......"

Mu Guangling stood up suddenly, and the other party hugged his fists and said, "I should have apologized to Zhenguo first, but I forgot about it when I was excited." The dog and the guards he brought with him were quite disrespectful when they met you a while ago, and I have already punished you. I also hope that Zhenguo Gonghaihan, the fault of this matter lies with me after all. As a father, I failed to teach my children well, and I was derelict in my responsibility. As a minister, I failed to bring my subordinates well, which is a dereliction of duty...... Thank you for your understanding. ”

"Where is such a thing?"

Fang Xie also stood up and saluted back: "I like the straightforward nature of the little grandfather, I am the same age as him, if I can, I would like to be friends with him." ”

"That's for the best."

Mu Guangling smiled, pretending to think of something suddenly, and pointed to the person standing beside him and introduced: "This is Su Yang, the head of the Penglai Sect, and he is also the mentor of the dog, and the Su Sect also has great respect for the Duke of Zhenguo, so I beg me to take him to see you." ”

Fang Xie hugged his fist towards Su Yang: "Su Zhangjiao, look up for a long time." ”

Su Yang hurriedly leaned over and saluted: "Grandpa Guo is polite, the grass people just admire Grandpa Guo's demeanor, and know that Grandpa Guo is coming to Mufu, so he couldn't bear it and ran over, begging Ning Guogong to introduce him on his behalf." ”

"Sit, Sit, Sit"

Mu Guangling said: "I have already asked people to prepare a banquet, and today I should get drunk with Zhenguo Gong." ”

Fang Xie smiled: "When you are outside, you don't dare to get drunk." ”

There was a strange look in Mu Guangling's eyes, which was fleeting, as if he had never appeared. Hearing Fang Xie say this, he hurriedly nodded: "Drink pleasantly, drink and make mistakes, I am also the person who leads the army, so I naturally know this truth, so I won't get you drunk, but I don't want to have a drink with you." ”

He beckoned: "Come on, bring the wine and food!" ”

Outside, a row of soldiers in uniforms streamed in, holding trays one after another, and soon the table was full. Originally, according to the habits of the Han people of the Great Sui, even if they feasted their best friends, they would eat separately, and the more they met distinguished guests, the stricter this rule often became. However, later, with more contact with the Mengyuan people, the Eastern Chu people, and the Northern Barbarians, it was rare to share meals and eat.

"This is the signature dish of the Juxing Building in Dongding City, called Purple Qi Donglai ......"

He glanced at Fang Xie meaningfully: "Come, how about Zhenguo Gong taste this." ”

……

……

"I heard that Zhen Guogong wandered the world when he was young, but I heard about it but didn't know the details, if Zhen Guogong didn't mind, can you tell me?"

Su Yang glanced at Fang Xie and said slowly.

Fang Jie's background has always been criticized by those who are from big families, and in their opinion, Fang Xie was from a humble background. Of course, the person who secretly commented like this categorically did not dare to say this in front of Fang Jie. Now that Fang Xie is a dominant family in the southwest, who dares to say right and wrong in those so-called wealthy families? At most, he secretly said something to comfort himself, and it was as pleasant as revenge to say it secretly.

When Su Yang mentioned this, he naturally didn't have any good intentions.

"How can you mind?"

Fang Xie smiled: "Before I was fifteen years old, I was on the run. Just this sentence can satisfy Su Zhangjiao, right? ”

Su Yang's face flushed slightly, and he hurriedly explained: "I'm just very curious about Grandpa Guo's past, and I look at Grandpa Haihan for the rudeness." The heroes of the world do not ask where they come from, Li Xiao, the general during the Taizong period, pacified the south of the Yangtze River and established immortal achievements, and he was also born in a cold family, and a hundred years later, the Li family became a family in the northwest. Although Li Xiao was not born in a family, he created a family that is admirable. ”

Fang Xie smiled and said, "Su Zhangjiao compares me to the Li family, how dare I accept it." ”

Mu Guangling hurriedly interjected: "Su Zhangjiao is a worldly master who lives on Penglai Island, and his speech is inevitably a little straight, but he definitely has no disrespect for Zhenguo Gong. Su Zhangjiao, still don't make amends to the Zhenguo Gong? ”

Su Yang hurriedly stood up, picked up the wine jug and poured a glass of wine for Fang Jie. When he picked up the flask, he swallowed the strength in his palm, and the wine immediately changed, it didn't look like it had changed on the surface, but it became unusually strong, this fashion and there was no alcohol at all, but his internal strength walked around in the flask, and the wine was much hotter than before.

Fang Xie didn't seem to find anything, picked up the wine glass and said, "You and I drink together." ”

Su Yang smiled and said, "I apologize for the sins of Grandpa Guo, and I should drink together." ”

He poured himself a glass, then picked it up and looked at Fang Jie. Fang Xie chuckled lightly and drank the wine in the cup. Su Yang originally thought that Fang Xie would react to that spicy spirit, but who would have thought that Fang Xie Yun drank it lightly without the slightest expression. Su Yang's heart was shocked, and when he saw Fang Jie's eyes, he hurriedly raised his glass and drank it.

Burst!

He immediately squirted out again.

The wine in his cup didn't know how to become unusually cold, and when he drank the wine, a layer of frost formed on his lips in an instant, and the frost was still spreading outward, and in an instant, half of Su Yang's face turned blue and purple. Fang Xie lowered his head and smiled, his fingers lightly tapping on the tabletop, his eyes full of smiles.

Su Yang hurriedly used his internal strength to suppress the cold, but he couldn't speak for a while. He stood there a little awkwardly, not sitting down, not standing.

"Good wine"

Fang Xie smiled and said two words, and poured another cup himself: "Su Zhangjiao, I will give you another cup." ”

Su Yang wanted to refuse, but at this time to refuse was to admit defeat, he provoked this secret fight, naturally he refused to lose face, and raised the wine glass a little nervously, and tried to make the wine milder in the palm of his hand. Fang Xie drank it all again, and he had no choice but to drink it with him.

Burst!

The second sip of wine Su Yang immediately squirted out, and he saw that in the wine glass he was holding, the rest of the wine was bubbling up, like boiling water. In an instant, his purple-colored lips changed again, turning red as if they had been roasted.

Fang Jie's face sank: "Su Zhangjiao, what do you mean by this?" ”

Su Yang wanted to argue, but he couldn't open his mouth at all.

He talked to Zhou Changmei and knew that Fang Xie had an invisible means of cultivation, so Zhou Changmei would suffer. He had already been careful, but he didn't expect that Fang Jie's invisible power was pervasive. He didn't even notice when Fang Xie had tampered with his wine.

Mu Guangling's eyes lit up, he looked at Su Yang and said, "Su Zhangjiao, you are too rude." Do you dislike the wine in my house, or is it too bad? ”

He reached out and took the wine glass in Su Yang's hand, and then drank it in one gulp: "My wine has been sealed for twenty years, the best wine, why do you want to vomit?" ”

He glanced at Fang Jie, and something different flashed in his eyes.

……

……

"How long does Zhenguo Gong want to stay in Eastern Xinjiang?"

Mu Guangling asked after putting down his wine glass.

Fang explained: "After today's visit, I will leave for the southwest, I was ordered by the emperor to guard the southwest of the Great Sui, this time I have been away for several months, if I don't go back, I am afraid that something will happen, I will eat the king, and be loyal to the king, so I plan to leave early tomorrow morning to return to the southwest." ”

"Oh"

Mu Guangling sighed and said: "When I come to this eastern Xinjiang, I can't lose my courtesy." Moreover, the eastern part of Xinjiang is not as good as before, and bandits are rampant in various places. Why don't I send some people to escort Zhenguo Gong back? Don't be polite, Zhenguo Gong is not polite, this is my business, and the worst thing to send to the riverside Shengfang Pavilion. ”

When he said the words Shengfangting, he glanced at Fang Xie meaningfully.

Fang Xie smiled and said: "Ning Guogong is polite, I didn't bring any gifts when I came to visit, so I had to ask people to buy some halfway, if the gifts I bought were not good enough, Ning Guogong should not blame." ”

"How so."

Mu Guangling smiled, and was just about to continue, when he saw Zhou Fu, the old housekeeper in the house, coming in from the outside quickly, and then whispered a few words in his ear, Mu Guangling's face was cold, and he looked at Fang Xie and said, "Zhenguo Gong has a heart, the gift you gave me has arrived." ”

Fang Xie took a sip of the wine glass and smiled: "The courtesy is light and affectionate, so it's good if Ning Guogong doesn't dislike it." ”

Outside the gate of Mufu, two things suddenly flew from a distance, and the people guarding the door didn't see in what direction this thing flew from, let alone saw the person who threw this thing over. But they recognize these two things, not only do they know them, but they are familiar with them.

These two things, one is a human head with green teeth, and the other is a human head with white eyebrows.

The eyes of both men were open, apparently dead. The gatekeeper naturally knew these two people, so he was frightened and retreated. It seems that the eyes on the heads of those two people are so unwilling.
