Chapter 287: Trouble
The outsiders left, and the valley suddenly became quiet, and Chang Yanzhi and the others took back their weapons and cleaned up the mess with the old servant.
The old servant complained vigorously: "The pomp is really big, and there is really a lot of waste left, look at the mess in this place, I don't know when I will clean it up." This is...... Is this a preserved peach? I threw it away without eating a bite, what a ...... of evil."
Feng Juniang claimed to be Xu Ji's maid, but she and Yahuan were the two women in the valley, and they were never supported, Yahuan had a little more work, and Feng Juniang served a cup of tea at most.
She wandered around the valley for a while, with nowhere to go and no one to talk to, but she still came to Xu Jifang.
As soon as the person left, Xu Ji returned to his old state, sat there still, and saw Feng Juniang with a smile on his face.
"Won't the county lord stay?"
"There's nothing to do in the valley, and she's been in a hurry to leave."
"Unhappy with the dice?"
"I'm happy, but I've lost all the jade pendants and silver knives on my body, and I really can't take anything as a bet."
"Thank you, Childe."
"Thank me for what?"
"Be false and wronged, please the county lord, and round my statement, otherwise, the county lord will come to me to settle accounts."
"It's not a hypocrisy...... What did you say? β
Feng Juniang smiled: "It's nothing, anyway, I didn't say anything bad about my son." β
Xu Ji smiled and didn't ask any further.
The sky was slightly dark, Feng Juniang lit the candle on the table, folded the screen completely, and pushed it aside, "I have a feeling, Childe is ...... right now." It doesn't seem to say no. β
"There doesn't seem to be anything I need to refuse."
"Didn't you?" Feng Juniang took a few steps forward, did not take off her shoes, knelt on the edge of the seat, only a few feet away from Xu Ji, and said with a smile: "Is the son willing to accept me?" β
Xu Ji also smiled, "You are not sincere." β
"How does Childe know that I'm not sincere? What's more, this kind of thing has nothing to do with sincerity, as long as Childe speaks, I will definitely not refuse. β
Xu Ji really thought for a while, and then shook his head, "No, there are no secrets in the valley, and the matter will definitely spread, which is not good for you, and even worse for me." β
"I knew Childe would answer like that." Feng Juniang left the table, turned around and said, "But I'm a little surprised, Gongzi is worried that the matter will spread, and he is afraid that who will know?" Chang Yanzhi will definitely not be unfavorable to Childe. β
"Yecheng learned that he probably wouldn't take me in again, and Qinzhou learned that he might send troops to attack."
"Haha." Feng Juniang couldn't help laughing, "It turns out that the son is afraid of the inside, and he is afraid of both." β
Xu Ji also smiled and nodded, "The two of them are not easy to deal with." β
"Of course, the county lord hasn't grown up yet, and in two or three years, I'm afraid he will be even more arrogant than the Golden Holy Maiden. But Childe doesn't need to worry, the county lord is naΓ―ve, I can make her not mind this matter, and even become best friends with her. As for the Golden Holy Maiden, Gongzi should have heard of it, she was defeated by another army in Qinzhou, and she didn't even fight for a foothold, how could she send troops to Yecheng? β
"The world is unpredictable. Why do you say this? It's like they're expecting me to do something sorry for them. β
Feng Juniang put away her smile, "I do hope that Gongzi can ...... Out of line, you ...... now" Feng Juniang shook her head.
"How am I now?"
"Like a clay man, you can handle it with others, when someone comes, you laugh, if someone argues, you accept, the county lord is bored, you accompany her to roll the dice...... How can you judge the two of you with the former King Wu? I think...... It seems that you have been possessed again, this time not as an incarnated king, but as a slacker with a declining mind. β
"Slacker?" Xu Ji smiled again.
"But Kou Daogu takes you very seriously, at least more than other Fan Sect disciples, so I'm a little confused, what is Childe thinking? What to get? β
"I'm trying to think of nothing, and then I know what I'm going to get."
"Kou Daogu said, although the two of you don't have the same way, but you can see each other, listen to the son, why don't you see each other, you can almost work together."
"Haha, we haven't even met, what are we talking about seeing and joining hands?"
Feng Juniang was about to answer, when a voice came from the door, "I haven't seen it, it's a big disaster." β
Tian Jiang didn't show up for a day, and when Ye Cheng was there, he didn't know where he went, and only then did he appear.
"Trouble? Who is in trouble? What's the trouble? Feng Juniang asked in surprise.
Tian Jiang walked straight to the bottom of the mat and faced Xu Ji: "This valley, this mat is so important to you?" Is it important that you are willing to risk your life for it? β
Feng Juniang was even more surprised, "Tian Zhuangshi, can you make your words clearer?" β
Tian Jiang refused to answer, but Xu Ji spoke: "Ye Cheng may think that my ambition is still there, and he will kill me to get rid of future troubles." β
Feng Juniang was both surprised and confused, "Think the son's ambition is still there?" Where did they see it? Is it because of the debate between Childe and Kou Daogu? β
Tian Jiang said: "It's not perhaps, Yecheng left soldiers a few miles outside the valley, nominally to expel irrelevant people, etc., and also thought about a quiet valley, but in fact, it was to supervise exchanges and cut off Xu Gongzi's contacts with the outside world." β
"Childe is like this, who can he associate with?"
Tian Jiang still didn't look at her, and only spoke to Xu Ji: "You could have been fooled in the past, why did you reveal your true heart?" β
"I don't have the kind of ambition that Yecheng thought, so there is no way to be confused, they misunderstand, and I can't help it."
Tian Jiang opened Xu Ji's eyes tightly, the room was dim, and his figure blocked most of the candlelight, so he only saw a shadow, but he still refused to look away, and only said after a while: "Xu Gongzi really has no choice?" β
"Really."
"Okay." Tian Jiang turned and left.
For people like Tian Jiang, Feng Juniang will never waste energy to give a flattering smile, close the door tightly, and after confirming that if someone opens the door again, she will definitely be able to hear the sound, she said to Xu Ji: "Kou Daogu said that Gongzi is enlightened from the truth, just because of this, Yecheng doubts Gongzi?" β
Xu Ji nodded.
"This ...... It's too unreasonable, right? β
"The Eastern Capital Righteous Army is divided into several roads, if the capital wins consecutive battles, then Yecheng will not care if I am ambitious, but the current news is that the Golden Saintess was defeated, and the King of Liang was forced to accept Jiangdong Zhao'an, and the King of Jin had to unite with Yecheng, and the King of Ning and the King of Shu had no news, so there must be no victory."
"Gongzi has abdicated and is no longer the king of Wu, what do these things have to do with Gongzi?"
"If they are all prosperous and all the soldiers under their command are satisfied, naturally it has nothing to do with me......"
"Oh, I understand, the rebel armies from all walks of life have been defeated one after another, and the soldiers will miss the great victory of King Wu when he was thereβsomeone came to invite Gongzi out of the mountain?"
"Hopefully no one will come."
Feng Juniang smiled, "The prince really abdicated and couldn't be trusted, and the prince of Jibei was hypocritical, but he got the name of respecting the virtuous and important, which is ridiculous." But what Childe can't do, I can't do it, so I have to mix it up one day at a time. β
Feng Juniang came to the outside of the house, her mind turned around, and asked the old servant who had just finished cleaning where Tian Jiang was.
"It's like going to the bottom. Look at the debris all over the ground, it won't be cleaned up in three days. That's it for today, we have to let everyone eat and sleep first, don't you say? β
Feng Juniang didn't listen to the old servant's nagging, and walked quickly to the depths of the valley.
There was no light in the depths, the grass and trees were rustling, and the moonlight illuminated a faint path, Feng Juniang walked through it during the day, but she was a little unrecognizable at this time.
After all, the tombstone in front of Fan's grave was not removed, nor was it smashed, and Tian Jiang stood in front of the tombstone, neither bowing nor kneeling, not knowing what he was thinking.
There were many people during the day, Feng Juniang didn't think so, and when she visited the grave at night, she couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, stopped in the distance, and coughed.
Tian Jiang turned around, glanced at her, and then turned back again.
Feng Juniang said loudly: "Disaster is coming, Gongzi is now a wooden man, he can't move, and he doesn't want to come up with ideas, so we have to come forward." If Tian Zhuangshi can solve it alone, please say it, so that I can rest assured, if not, why not discuss countermeasures? β
Tian Jiang turned around and walked over, stopping a few steps away from Feng Juniang, "I've heard a lot of your deeds. β
"Hey, I didn't want to marry you, you don't have to worry about being killed."
"You don't care about others, why do you have to protect Xu Ji? I haven't heard anything special about you. β
Feng Juniang had been asked similar things many times, and she was bored, "Why?" Let's get it straight, because I have the skills. Elsewhere, I am a beauty that everyone is competing for, and I will get it when I get it, put it up, offer it, and I just won't let go of what I can do. Childe really didn't have anything special about me, but he didn't discipline me either. I've learned something these days and would love to try it out. That's why, are you satisfied? β
"It depends on what you're capable of."
"What kind of skills do you say?"
Tian Jiang's face sank, "Your newly learned skills." β
Feng Juniang smiled: "I have thought of a solution, although it is inconspicuous, but it may be useful." β
"Tell me about it."
"What about you? Do you have a solution? β
"There is no way, but there are some ideas."
"After I say that, you will say it too?"
"Hmm."
"It is said that Tian Zhuangshi will do what he says, I believe you. My method is actually simple, Ye Cheng suspects that Gongzi has two reasons, one is that the Zhulu Righteous Army is not progressing well, and will come to invite Gongzi out of the mountain, I can't solve this matter, and the other is today's debate, everyone takes it too seriously, and all kinds of speculations will be born. I thought, why not muddy this debate and turn it into a joke? β
"The debate is over."
"The debate is over, the rumors are not over, and those who are here today know that the city must be lively."
Tian Jiang took two steps forward and looked at Feng Juniang seriously for the first time, "Please continue." β
"If I can let Kou Dao be ruined alone, will I be able to make the debate a hoax?"
"Did Kou Daogu offend you?"
"I smiled at him, and he actually pretended to be serious, which is offending me."
Tian Jiang took two steps back.
"Don't worry, Tian Zhuangshi, you are not interested in me, and I am the same for you, just know each other."
"Your method is too inferior, I won't participate."
"Then let me listen to Tian Zhuangshi's method of 'going up'."
"I have some friends in Yecheng......"
"Tian Zhuangshi has a lot of friends."
"They are willing to monitor the people who come and go for me, and if any of the former rebels come to see Xu Ji, they will stop them before they reach Yecheng, and then I persuade them to go back."
"Sure enough, it's done. Our methods are not contradictory, Tian Zhuangshi doesn't have to care what I do, just ask you to find a way to leave Kou Dao alone in the city for three days...... Five days is enough, if he is determined, I am willing to bow to the wind, and I will never use the means of 'inferior'. β
"Okay." Tian Jiang said.
"When Gongzi was still King Wu, I heard that he hated his subordinates the most, and even killed many people for this, and now we ......"
"I'm not his subordinate."
"Coincidentally, neither am I." Feng Juniang said with a smile.
