Chapter 227: Fang Shao returns to Beijing
Thousands of soldiers put away their swords, guns, bows and arrows, lined up in a neat line, and walked down the mountain in an orderly manner.
This time, the thunder was loud and the rain was small, and everyone basically did nothing except shouting and shouting and posing with weapons. On the way down the mountain, the soldiers discussed each other, and there were a few good-natured chuckles in the team from time to time.
Changping and her guards walked at the end of the line.
The female guard commander glanced back a few times, and reported to Chang Pingyu with an angry face: "Your Highness...... The master of the horse is talking to the female bandit, why don't you ......"
Chang Pingtou didn't reply, and said lightly: "I know." Don't worry about him, we'll wait for him at the bottom of the mountain. β
"But he ......"
Changping sighed and said quietly: "If you want to control a man's heart, you can't control him too much, otherwise, this man will be farther and farther away from you, and sooner or later he will run away...... This truth, when you get married, you will naturally understand. β
The female guard glanced at it again unwillingly, and finally stopped talking.
In front of the gate of the cottage.
Fang Zheng and Luo Yueniang looked at each other. The rest of the bandits couldn't help but secretly rejoice when they saw that the officers and soldiers did not use force, and saw that the atmosphere between the master and the second boss was strange and ambiguous, so everyone looked at each other and flashed.
Luo Yueniang stared at Fang Zheng fixedly, looking at his thief's head and brain, his eyes were rolling all the time, like a person waiting for the opportunity to steal someone's wallet at any time, she couldn't help but feel a little funny and a little emotional. - This person is really the second-class minister of the DPRK and China? Luo Yueniang often goes down the mountain to step on points, and she has naturally heard of Fang Zheng's name. Advised the court to retreat the Turkic army, and negotiated with the Turkic envoys on behalf of the court, fighting for face for the Chinese Dynasty and taking advantage of it, and later Pan Wenyuan rebelled, Fang Zheng single-handedly mixed out the capital that had been captured by the rebels, transferred the army of King Qin, and swept away the rebellion......
These stories about Fang Zheng have long been popular among the people. Many storytellers in teahouses and restaurants have compiled these deeds of Fang Zheng into paragraphs, divided them into chapters, and talked about them paragraph by paragraph. Immodest to say, now within the Hua Dynasty. People who haven't heard of Fang Zheng's name. Not much.
In her impression, the Fang Zheng that people admire and praise should be a young man who is full of righteousness and uprightness. He has a calm appearance, a witty and quick conversation, and a sharp eye that can perceive all conspiracies, and everywhere he is, he will be sincerely admired by everyone. He should always be the center of attention in the crowd, always sparkle and not ......
Instead of boringly digging his nose in front of a beautiful woman, he rubbed it into a ball and popped it out after digging. - This filthy and naughty bastard!
Luo Yueniang was angry when she saw Fang Zheng's underbeaten appearance, God was blind! How can a person be born into this virtue? And all the high glory in the world is placed on his head, and if the heroes that the people are vying to praise are like this, how many people's longing for heroes will turn into ashes?
"You...... Don't you have anything to tell me? Luo Yueniang glared at Fang Zheng with fiery eyes.
Fang Zheng took a look, withdrew the finger that was digging his nostrils properly, and said in amazement: "Uh...... Say what? I want you to marry me now. I don't think my wife will say yes yet......"
Luo Yueniang said angrily: "Bastard! Who said they were going to marry you? Why did the old lady marry you? β
Fang Zheng squeezed his eyes at her obscenely, showed a tacit smile, and whispered: "We have all slept together, who will I marry if you don't marry?" Don't say you still want to marry Zhao Jun's little white face, what kind of useless thing looks like a man? β
Luo Yueniang said angrily: "Who does the old lady need to marry?" Who are you? β
Fang Zheng's face changed when he heard this. His eyes were suddenly full of sadness, and he looked at Luo Yueniang sadly, and said sadly: "Is it ...... Do you really want to marry someone else? β
Luo Yueniang snorted: "Of course! β
Fang Zheng felt as if he had been hit by something. looked at Luo Yueniang stupidly, and said in a tone full of affection: "...... If love. Please love deeply! At this moment, I burst into tears......"
Luo Yueniang was stunned and said, "You...... What are you talking about? β
Fang Zheng ignored her and continued to chant affectionately: "...... Although I have said to myself more than once: 'You must be happy, you must be in charge!' 'But you are a woman like the wind, which crushes my graceful dignity and makes me as lonely as fireworks......"
Luo Yueniang said frantically: "Please, can you say something to someone?" β
ββ¦β¦ Marry me, okay? Boss, will there be male bandits in Qinglong Mountain who will love you for me? β
Seeing that Luo Yueniang was showing signs of going violent, Fang Zheng hurriedly put away her affectionate expression, and said with a smile: "Don't mind, I was reciting poetry just now......
"Your inexplicable few words are poetry?" Luo Yueniang sneered with disdain.
Fang Zheng nodded and said: "Of course it's a poem, but it was written by someone else, the poet is nicknamed 'Brainless Layman', well, it's a ruthless character......"
Luo Yueniang stroked her forehead and sighed weakly, I shouldn't have mentioned this to him......
seemed to have a lot of things to say to him, but when the words came to her mouth, Luo Yueniang couldn't say a word, looking at Fang Zheng's hippie smiling face, Luo Yueniang's heart was as heavy as a lead block.
Who is he? is a hero who is in the limelight, the emperor's most valued courtier, a high-ranking official, a servant like a cloud, and he is also the princess's husband, such a person, would he care about such a small vulgar female bandit? What's more, this female bandit has a fiancΓ©, if he wants a woman, in the prosperous capital, there must be thousands of women who are willing to recommend pillows by hooking their little fingers, right?
Then why did he still provoke me? Why don't you go down the mountain for a long time? Why did you block the actions of the officers and soldiers to suppress bandits? He ...... to me It must have been intentional, right?
Luo Yueniang's thoughts were disordered for a while, she bit her lower lip in annoyance, glared at Fang Zheng and said, "You...... Why don't you roll down the hill yet? Are you still waiting for me to send you? β
Fang Zheng smiled, winked at her and said, "I'll leave now, hehe......"
"You! You ......" Luo Yueniang was immediately angry when she heard this, this person who has no conscience actually said to leave, without the slightest nostalgia, all men in the world are people who are unfortunate, this statement is really true.
Fang Zheng really said that he would leave, and walked down the mountain without looking back.
Luo Yueniang looked at Fang Zheng's back with a resentful and angry face, her eyes turned red, and crystal tears overflowed her eyes in an instant.
Fang Zheng took two steps. But he suddenly turned his head and grinned at Luo Yueniang and said, "...... By the way, the housekeeper, keep the house I live in, don't let anyone else sleep. I'll be back in a few days......"
Luo Yueniang was stunned when she heard this. The color of resentment suddenly turned completely into joy. The tears full of the smell of resentful women disappeared in an instant, Luo Yueniang snorted at Fang Zheng, rolled her delicate eyes, and snorted: "You can't go back." I don't bother to care about you! β
Fang Zheng looked at Luo Yueniang's face full of joy, his heart warmed, and his mouth was open, and he wanted to tell her that he had sent his shadow subordinates to lurk outside the bandits' den. Take the opportunity to kidnap Zhao Jun.
But after thinking about it, in front of other people's fiancΓ©es, I informed her in a grand manner, I want to rob your fiancΓ©, this ...... Is it inappropriate?
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng still didn't open his mouth after all.
Let's just think that Zhao Jun himself is lost, Qinglong Mountain is so big, and Zhao Jun's IQ is so low, it's normal to get lost. - Hey. What a kind person I am!
-----------------------------
Fang Zheng walked to the foot of the mountain alone, and Changping and the officers and soldiers were waiting for him.
Seeing Fang Zheng coming down the mountain, Changping greeted him, his nose wrinkled, and he said with jealousy: "Lingering? It's not life and death. As for being so reluctant? β
Fang Zheng said seriously: "Nonsense! Who said I was entangled with her? I am explaining to her the development direction of the next stage of Qinglong Mountain's robbery career, and seeking a bright future for my brothers! β
Changping laughed, kicked him lightly, and said angrily: "You are talking nonsense! What is the bright future of the bandits? Or bandits, right? β
Fang Zheng has arrived. Thousands of officers and soldiers marched to the capital.
On the way, Fang Zheng walked to Feng Qiudao's side, and whispered with eyebrows: "Brother Feng." Thanks to the idea you gave me to save the scene, otherwise these two mothers-in-law would really pinch up, I can't clean it up, little brother, thank you......"
Who knew that Feng Qiudao rolled his eyes, didn't look at Fang Zheng, and muttered in his mouth: "I didn't do anything, why does this person want to thank me?" It's strange, could this man be sick? β¦β¦β
Fang Zheng was stunned, he couldn't see that Feng Qiudao, a guy who was usually known for his coldness and hard blood, was so wilted, he must have been a difficult master when he was young......
When the group walked to the outside of Xuzhou Mansion, it was getting late, and Feng Qiudao ordered the whole army to camp on the spot and march again in the morning.
Song Hao, the prefect of Xuzhou, personally went out of the city to greet him when he heard the news, of course, the main thing was to pat the farts of the Marquis Fang and Her Royal Highness the Princess, and earnestly asked Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Princess's Lord to enter the city to rest, but Fang Zheng refused. The prefect of Song couldn't resist Fang Zheng's insistence, so he had to go with him, but the prefect of Song had been an official for many years and was a delicate figure, seeing that Fang Zheng and the princess refused to enter the city, he ordered the people to bring wine and meat to the army, and then the officials of all sizes in the city went out and patted Fang Zheng on the back.
Fang Zheng, who had not enjoyed the taste of being patted on the back for a long time, smiled happily, and praised the prefect of Xuzhou for being sensible and promising, so in a mutual praise, Fang Zheng smiled but quietly accepted the bribes sent by many officials, and hated Changping on the side, after the officials left, Changping rushed up to Fang Zheng with a storm-like punch and kick, which made Fang Zheng scream again and again, thinking that tonight was not too big or small to make a small fortune, Fang Zheng felt that it was worth this punch and kick, what is this called? Pain, and happiness......
On the second day, when the officers and soldiers were pulled, the Song prefect came out to see them off, and apologized repeatedly, saying that a few days ago, thieves from where they dug up the newly built official road near Xuzhou Mansion, and made it necessary to go to the capital and make a big detour.
Fang Zheng's face was pale, and then he ordered the Song prefect with a straight face, there is no need to work for the people and lose money, the official road will be cut off, anyway, there is another way to go, just go around in a circle, how much does it matter.
Governor Song was confused, and it was inconvenient to ask the reason, so he had to agree repeatedly.
-------------------------------
When he returned to the capital, it was already nightfall, Feng Qiudao ordered five thousand dragon martial troops to return to the barracks and station, and transferred hundreds of soldiers to escort Fang Zheng and Changping into the city.
As soon as they arrived at the city gate, soldiers came to report that someone was at the city gate to greet them.
Fang Zheng hurriedly walked a few steps, but saw a group of people standing still quietly under the black city wall suspension bridge, the leader of whom was obese and slightly short. Fang Zheng stared at it and couldn't help but be overjoyed. Rushed forward and shouted, "Fatty! β
It was the fat man of King Fu who greeted Fang Zheng and his entourage, and when he heard Fang Zheng's voice, the fat man suddenly became excited, and then rolled towards Fang Zheng like a huge ball of meat.
The two met under the drawbridge. The fat man saw that Fang Zheng was safe and sound. couldn't help but cry so aggrieved that Fang Zheng also had a handful of bitter tears in his heart.
"Woo...... Brother Fang, you can be regarded as coming back safely! Woo woo...... "The fat man wiped his snot and tears with the sleeves of his expensive royal robe.
"If you don't come back. I'm out of hope! Woohoo......"
Fang Zheng smiled strangely: "It's only been a few days since I left the capital, you are so enthusiastic, as for it?" β
The fat man slapped his thigh while shedding tears and sighed: "Don't you know, after you disappeared, the court was simply a dragon turning over." Chickens and dogs are restless......"
Changping interjected dissatisfiedly on the side: "Do you have to stand under the city gate tower to reminisce about the past?" Brother, it's getting late, can you let us go home and catch our breath first? Father-in-law and mother-in-law are still thinking about him. β
The fat man was stunned and hurriedly said: "That's right, Brother Fang, hurry up and go home to report the safety of your uncle and aunt, you can frighten us this time...... In any case, peace is good, peace is a blessing. Hehe, let's talk about it tomorrow. β
At this time, a group of people behind the fat man saw the opportunity to rush out, and the enthusiastic Zhao Fang Zheng and Changping saluted, Fang Zheng looked at it, but saw that these people were colleagues in the DPRK and China. I heard that Hou Ye Fang returned to Beijing safely, and he came to the city gate to greet Hou Ye and the princess.
Fang Zheng greeted everyone politely and walked towards the city gate, only to find a man with a dark face. The young general with a calm face stood in the crowd welcoming him, and saw Fang Zheng looking at him strangely. The general clasped his fists towards Fang Zheng with an expressionless face, and said awe-inspiringly: "The last general, Qin Chong, has seen General Fang!" β
When Fang Zheng heard that someone called him a general, he was immediately happy, his vanity was greatly satisfied, and he couldn't help laughing: "Hey, General Qin knows me?" β
The fat man was stunned and said, "...... You don't know him? β
Fang Zheng scratched his head, he couldn't remember when he knew such a general, and why did he call himself a general? The officials of the Manchu Dynasty were either called Lord Fang or Marquis Fang, and it was the first time that they were called General Fang.
Seeing Fang Zheng's blank look, the fat man couldn't help but sigh and shook his head: "Sad! I don't even know your own subordinates, and the city defense of our capital is really enough to hang......"
"General Qin is my subordinate?" Fang Zheng asked in amazement.
The fat man was still sighing: "General Qin is the deputy general of the capital garrison, and you, General Fang, are the capital garrison generals appointed by your father, isn't General Qin your subordinate......"
Fang Zheng slapped his forehead suddenly, hey! Since taking over the position of garrison general, he has never paid attention to it, the so-called garrison, and he has never even been to the camp of the capital city defense army, and he doesn't know any of the soldiers under him, and Lao Tzu is really sloppy enough to be a general.
After carefully looking at Qin Chong a few more times, Fang Zheng found that although his attitude towards him was respectful enough, the look on his face was quite disapproving, and a little disdain flashed in his eyes from time to time, and there was even a hint of hatred.
Fang Zheng shook his head and said secretly, I haven't offended him, right? Why is this guy named Qin Chong so virtuous? Could it be that I inadvertently molested his wife? No, you can't! Young Master Ben hadn't molested a woman for a long time......
Then Fang Zheng's mind flashed, ouch! Qin Chong, isn't he the prince's confidant general? Pan Shangshu provided himself with a list of the forces in the prince's army in the prison, and it seemed that Qin Chong's name was among them. Hey, what a coincidence, he made God my subordinate......
There were a large number of people, Fang Zheng didn't have time to think about it, and after glancing at Qin Chong with a strange look, Fang Zheng greeted the next official warmly.
The group greeted each other and waited to enter the city, and suddenly a carriage drove out of the city, stopped in front of them, Fang Zheng and the fat man took a look, and then saw Gonggong Cao in the palace frowning, rubbing his waist, and crawling out of the carriage with a sigh.
Fang Zheng was stunned and said, "Yo, isn't this Gonggong Cao?" I haven't seen you for many days, and your body is getting tougher and stronger. β
The fat man and the officials also hurriedly greeted Gonggong Cao with a smile.
Gonggong Cao respectfully saluted the fat man, and then smiled at Fang Zheng: "What is tough!" A carriage ride almost tossed our old bones upside down......"
Immediately, Father-in-law Cao said with a happy face: "Congratulations to Marquis Fang, congratulations to Marquis Fang, Hou Ye is safe and sound, it is really the blessing of my Chinese Dynasty!" In the future, the marquis will be able to increase the official and be promoted, which is a blessing. β
Fang Zheng laughed, then quietly stuffed a silver ticket to him, and said in a low voice: "I don't know if my father-in-law left the palace to ......"
Gonggong Cao took the silver ticket, his old face smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum, and Fang Zheng was even more polite, and said with a smile: "According to the emperor's command, after the Marquis Fang enters Beijing, he will immediately enter the palace and face the saint, and he must not be lazy." β
Fang Zheng glanced at Changping in embarrassment, and said, "But...... I haven't gone home yet, so I have to pay a visit to my father and mother before entering the palace......"
Changping pouted beside him and said: "That's it, my father is not considerate of people at all, and he hasn't entered the city yet, so he is in a hurry to announce his entry into the palace, what's the matter, can't you talk about it tomorrow?" β
Father-in-law Cao laughed and said, "This ...... Our family is also under the emperor's will, Lord Hou don't embarrass our family, you haven't entered the city before you are favored by the Lord of Long Live Lord, this is the grace that other ministers can't ask for, entering the palace to face the saint is actually a matter of a while, and it won't take long to come out......"
Fang Zheng sighed and said, "Come on, let's enter the palace, who called him my father-in-law......"
So Fang Zheng said goodbye to all the officials who came to greet him, and let Changping and the fat man go back to the house first, and Fang Zheng got into the carriage of Gonggong Cao and entered the capital.
Lifting the curtain of the carriage and looking at the familiar streets and alleys in the capital, Fang Zheng couldn't help but burst into tears.
Lao Tzu has finally come back alive! Since the last time she was knocked out of the city by Luo Yueniang's little girl, it has been half a month unconsciously, although it is only half a month, and now that he has stepped into the capital again, Fang Zheng has a feeling of being in a different world. At this moment, I felt a lot of emotion, and I sighed for a while.
Gonggong Cao also sat in the carriage, and said to the other party with a smile: "Hou Ye disappeared this time, it can be said that he has gone through hardships and dangers, but fortunately, good people have their own blessings, and Hou Ye will be more favored by the emperor in the future, some ministers have survived in the court for a lifetime, their hair and beard are white, and they may not be able to have the glory of Hou Ye today, Hou Ye has been in the court for less than a year, and he is already a pillar of the country, which is very rare, as the so-called 'beach is only half a year, and the waves hit me today', Hou Ye's official fortune is prosperous......"
Fang Zheng listened to Gonggong Cao's flattery with joy, smiled happily, and said in surprise when he heard this: "Yo, I can't see that Gonggong Cao is a cultural person, but he actually knows how to compose poetry?" β
Gonggong Cao smiled reservedly: "I understand a little." β
Fang Zheng smacked for a while, and suddenly his face sank, and said, "Hey, Gonggong Cao, it's not right,...... Don't you think this poem is about the king? β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
-------------- the following does not count as a word count----------------
Belch...... The above conversation with Luo Yueniang is a classic sad sentence from a non-mainstream on the Internet, and I laughed so much that I fell on the ground and rolled several times when I saw it, and I couldn't help it today, so I took it to spoof...... Ahem, I'm not dignified again.
As the saying goes: Illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread. At this time, I was smoking, and my condition recurred several times in two days, which was really miserable...... But I'm still doing my best to code words, for the sake of me being so old-fashioned, let's get a few tickets......
Recently, the weather is not normal, warm and cold, friends pay attention to clothing and warmth, you should take me as a negative teaching material, do not repeat my mistakes, remember to remember.
