When the sun climbed over the walls of Fangu and poured sunlight into the small city, people who got up early to go out were shocked by what they saw. After a while, the news spread, and all the people of Fan Gu City, including the old and weak, women and children, all poured into the widest street, looking at the things that appeared in front of them and sighing.

Hundreds of tables lined up on the street, filled with wine bowls.

No dishes, just wine.

Except for Li Xiaozong, the general of the Fangu border army, more than 700 border soldiers in Fangucheng are all here. At this time of the day, not a single soldier could be seen patrolling back and forth on the walls of Fangu City. More than 3,000 wine bowls were densely packed on the table, each bowl filled with wine.

There were four liquor shops, six inns, more than a dozen restaurants large and small in Fangu City, the bosses, the cooks, the apprentices, and all the miscellaneous servants in Jinyuanfang who worked all night, and almost all the empty wine was transported to the street. These more than 700 border soldiers wanted to help, but these villagers didn't let them, but let them sit at the table to rest.

More than 2,000 people all gathered on the main street, looking at the table set up like a long dragon in front of them, they suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

The border soldiers who have guarded Fangu City for many years, only they are qualified to sit at the table. Even Fang Jie, who arranged all this today, stood on the side, looking at the faces of those border soldiers.

"Fang Jie! Are you really leaving?! ”

Someone couldn't help but ask.

Fang Xie waved his hand and did not answer.

He picked up a bowl of wine, slowly knelt down and sprinkled it on the ground: "This bowl of wine is for the robe who unfortunately died in battle that night, I am sorry for you!" ”

Except for the border soldiers, there are not many people who understand his words.

The events of that night could be hidden from the people in the city, and they couldn't hide from these elite soldiers of the Great Sui. They knew who Fang Jie's wine was for, so their faces were a little sad. That night, at the west gate of the city, more than 20 border soldiers were killed and killed...... It's the solution.

It stands to reason that the soldiers of the border army should not forgive Fang Jie, but I don't know why, the silent crowd suddenly shouted all the way, more than 700 soldiers stood up neatly, everyone picked up the wine bowl in front of them and spilled it on the ground, and then shouted neatly all the way.

Qu Feng, the oldest lieutenant in the border army, muttered when he spilled wine: "Don't blame Fang Jie." ”

More than 700 people toasted together, wishing that the dead robes would be well in heaven.

Fang Xie spilled the wine, and then solemnly kowtowed three times in the direction of the west gate. The soldiers stood on either side of the long table, and they didn't know who had shouted a salute. More than 700 soldiers neatly displayed their right fists across their chests and solemnly performed a military salute of the Great Sui.

Qu Feng walked over slowly, stretched out his hand and pulled up his forehead on the cold bluestone pavement: "No one blames you, although those of us who are soldiers hate each other the most, it doesn't mean that everyone doesn't distinguish between right and wrong." Li Xiaozong didn't come today, he said that he was imprisoned in the general's mansion, but we didn't call him. See for yourself, even the brothers on duty in the General's Mansion came, and they didn't treat you as an enemy! ”

"Whether you're in the Imperial Capital Martial Arts Academy, or somewhere else. The border army in Fangu City will always be your brother! ”

"To my brothers!"

Qu Feng picked up a bowl of wine again, looked up to the sky and shouted.

More than 700 border soldiers also immediately raised their wine glasses and said to Fang Xie in unison: "Respect brother!" ”

Fang Xie wanted to cry, but held back.

He took the bowl of wine that the dog had handed him and drank it down.

"I know you hate Li Xiaozong, even we hate him, let alone you?"

Qu Feng put the wine bowl on the long table, took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and handed it to Fang Jie: "This is brought to you by the guards of the General's Mansion by Li Xiaozongtuo, and the guards of the General's Mansion said that they have no face to see you, let me give it to you." This is the bonus you have given to Li Xiaozong in Fan Gucheng in the past few years, not all, about one-third...... You hate his people, but this money is earned by you, and when you go to the imperial capital, you need to take care of any yamen, and it is not easy to talk if you are wearing an official uniform. Don't refuse, money is money, if you feel that you are not happy to take this money, then our more than 700 brothers will each drop a drop of blood on the silver ticket, washing away the resentment in your heart! ”

"I'll take it!"

Fang Xie nodded vigorously and solemnly took the silver ticket.

"Fang Jie, are you still back?"

A milky little girl was held in her mother's arms, and her pure eyes were full of reluctance. It's not as rich as the adults, but it's purer.

"Come back!"

Fang Xie nodded and said with a smile.

"I was going to invite everyone to drink a bowl of wine before leaving, and spend all the money in the bag before leaving. But all the shopkeepers in the city don't take any money from me, so this bowl of wine is not so much something I invited everyone to drink, but rather a bowl of wine that everyone invited me to drink! I can't figure out what a big man is standing up to, but he's also a man! This wine is a parting wine, but it is not a love wine! I think I'm worthy of being friends with you, so let's do this together today! ”

Everyone had wine in their hands, even the children had a bowl in their hands.

The little girl who asked Fang Xie if she would come back looked at the wine bowl in her hand and said timidly: "Mother, the wine is spicy, I don't want to drink it." ”

Her mother rubbed her sour nose and said, "Good Bao'er, just take a small sip and drink it." After drinking this bowl of wine, you have to remember the solution. He is the relative of all the people in our Fangu City, and he is a family member. ”

The little girl didn't seem to understand, but nodded anyway.

Not far away, a rugged man dipped his fingers in some wine and put it into the mouth of the baby in his wife's arms, the baby subconsciously sucked it, but the wine was too spicy, the baby immediately frowned, his little arm stretched out from the swaddling clothes and shook it a few times, grinning and crying.

When the baby cried, I don't know how many people cried with it.

"Say goodbye today, I hope we can still get together!"

Fang Xie drank all the wine, and tears still flowed out after all. The big dog sighed on the side, and even a woman like Mu Xiaoxiao had a sour nose.

……

……

On this day, Fan Gucheng ran out of wine.

Or they didn't want to see such a scene, so the red-sleeved people had already left the city last night. On the widest street in the city, I don't know how many people got drunk. The girl in the prime of her cardamom years had a red face like a mountain peach blossom blooming in the spring breeze after drinking, but her eyes were red and swollen from crying.

For them, Fang Xie is not just a name, maybe many years later, she will marry as a **, and she will smile shyly when she recalls the past, and she can't forget the young man she remembered when she was young. Maybe Fan Gucheng is too small, so Fang Xie changed here. The imperial capital is so big, maybe what has changed is himself.

More than 700 border soldiers drank wine and went back to perform their duties under the leadership of the captains. Shangcheng of Shangcheng, those who went out of the city to inspect also led the war horse out of the city, Qu Feng was the last to leave, patted Fang Jie's shoulder and said slightly drunk: "Whether you can enter the martial arts academy or not, you have to come back and see." If you don't get in, it's the best, come back and drink and kill the thief together. Others don't know, but Lao Tzu knows it very well in his heart...... Every time you kill a thief, you hide, but the most threatening horse thieves are killed by a single arrow from you. The most unconscionable thing Li Xiaozong did was to ignore your military exploits. ”

"You are a qualified scout, a radius of hundreds of miles, as long as it is a horse thief on this side of the Wolf Milk Mountain, which one did not you find out? In the past three years, the people in Fangu City have been so rich that it is too peaceful...... Fan Gucheng has been around for decades, and the surroundings have never been so clean. ”

"Brother Qu ......"

Fang Xie opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

Qu Feng smiled and said: "But I still hope that you can be admitted to the Martial Arts Academy, and you will be a captain at the worst." I know your ability, what are you afraid of if you can't practice? There are not many generals in the army who purely train their physical fitness to compete with cultivation masters. Don't forget Luo Yao, who guards our southern Sui Dynasty, his pure external skills are said to be comparable to the nine-rank masters, and he still dominates the world! It's better to mix up with a general, and come back to us Fan Gu as a general! ”

"Hmm!"

Fang Xie nodded vigorously.

"Let's go, I'll lead the troops to inspect this side of Wolf Milk Mountain today, I can't send you, don't be surprised...... Bon voyage! ”

After saying this, Qu Feng turned his head and left.

After the border soldiers left, the people gathered around again. Talking and talking to Fang Jie, what Fang Xie said in the confusion couldn't hear it at all. Some people said that Fang Xie treated Fan Gu as his mother, and only after being scolded did he realize that Fang Xie was not a girl.

I don't know why, everyone has a kind of reluctance in their hearts like parents marrying their daughters.

"Big shopkeeper, don't worry, Jinyuanfang, I will take care of it, if you don't come back, I will send someone to send you to check the annual accounts."

Chu Huaili, the second shopkeeper of Jin Yuanfang, rubbed his eyes and said.

"Well, the money of the grassland barbarians is easy to make, and Jin Yuanfang can't fall, although there is no red sleeve building, Keshengju and Jin Yuanfang are still the cash cows of Fan Gucheng. As long as these two buildings are there, the villagers will not live as hard as before. ”

Fang Xie confessed, and then lowered his voice and said: "Li Xiaozong wants to get rid of the traces of greed for money on his body, and he will definitely burn all the previous accounts, you keep a copy and hide it." Also, he will definitely put aside all the business in the city, this is an opportunity...... Without him, let the money-making business become the villagers' own, even if there is no red sleeves, the dividends will be much more than before. ”

"I remember the big treasurer!"

Chu Huaili nodded vigorously.

He was originally a down-and-out scholar in Fangu City, but his life changed because of Fang Jie. If it weren't for Fang Jie, he, a poor sour who was looked down upon, would not have been able to wander the world in the end.

"Save some money for yourself."

Fang Xie smiled: "You are too honest, you haven't saved enough money to get a beautiful daughter-in-law yet." But after I left, I guess the object of admiration of the girls in Fan Gucheng is you. ”

Chu Huaili, who was honest, blushed, didn't know how to answer.

……

……

"Gone! Let's all go back, it's not a parting of life and death, if I am as rich as Wu Yiyi one day, I will take you all to live in Chang'an, the imperial capital! Of course, don't get your hopes up. ”

Fang Xie stood on the carriage and waved his hand, and said loudly: "Our green mountains will not change the green water...... We'll see you later! ”

Aunt He tiptoed and shouted in the crowd: "No matter how beautiful the girl in the imperial capital is, it is still the most reliable girl to find a daughter-in-law!" ”

"Aunt He...... Go back and ask Chu Huaili to allocate some money from the account to you and set up a special pull-skin-strip...... Well, no, it's a marriage agency. I've thought of a name, it's called Century Lily! ”

"Fang Jie! Remember me, I'm waiting for you to come back and marry me! ”

"Die for it! I won't come back for ten years, so you won't marry for ten years?! No one wants to be old, so while you're still young, pick more! ”

"Fang Jie, the imperial capital is too big, don't lose yourself!"

"Don't worry, I'll report to the official if I lose myself!"

"Fang Jie, they said that your little brother-brother is overgrown, and before you leave, you tell me how you did it!"

"Brother, you're exposed!"

General's Palace

Li Xiaozong poured a glass of old wine and drank it all, and laughed at himself as he listened to the lively shouts outside: "What a wonderful life experience, I can't imagine that I, a general, am far inferior to him. I don't know if when I left Fangu, how many people gave me off and how many scolded me...... Fang Solution...... More than 700 troops are going to see you off, you want to tell me...... Are you better than me? ”

Fangu East Gate

Under an oil-paper umbrella, a woman wearing a snow-white mink dress looked at the scene in the city and smiled slightly, turned around and said lightly, let's go. I don't know if it's the oil-paper umbrella depicting the peony that sets off her beauty, or her face that adds charm to the oil-paper umbrella.

Three sixteen or seventeen-year-old maids followed her out of the city, and not far from the city, a convoy of horse-drawn carriages with red sleeves was quietly parked on the side of the road.

"How?"

The voice of Aunt Xi came from a carriage.

"It's not like that, it's just a small person."

The beautiful woman replied, and then boarded the carriage.

"When did he lose this market gas...... There will be a great success. ”

"If he doesn't have this market gas, it's even worse."
