In the entire hall, Duan Lang was embarrassed to find a crack in the ground to get into. Fang Jiye clenched his fists even more angrily, some things can't be said nonsense, and they can't be said explicitly, just know it. As soon as this kind of thing is said, not only his daughter's innocence is ruined, but also his old face can't be hung up.

Zhang Ruming doesn't care about that, don't you want a reason, then Lao Tzu will give you the biggest reason, you will marry if you are not afraid of a green hat. Bai Ruokong looked at Zhang Ruming viciously, his face was extremely gloomy, and Zhao Zhuofeng's face was even more distorted, and he couldn't help but be angry.

Men are like this, when no one is fighting, Zhao Zhuofeng doesn't think Fang Yan is so good. But now, Duan Lang joined in, which aroused his competitive spirit. It's just that this reason hit him too hard. It doesn't matter if you take a concubine, but the daughter of the Fang Mansion must be the main house, which makes the Xining Hou Mansion really unacceptable.

Fang Jiye stared at Duan Lang angrily, if he said it in private, he might have acquiesced. But in front of everyone, Fang Jiye's old face seemed to have been slapped by someone.

"Duan Lang, give the old man an explanation, otherwise, you don't want to walk out of the gate of Fangfu." Fang Jiye said angrily.

"Uncle Fang, actually~!"

"Daddy, I'll tell you!"

At this moment, Fang Yan walked in with a stride. Under the surprised gaze of everyone, Fang Yan first glanced at Duan Lang shyly. Immediately afterwards, Fang Yan's face turned pale. But before she could speak, she heard Fang Jiye say angrily.

"Who called you here, don't you think the Fang Mansion is not ashamed enough, get back for me."

Fang Yan looked at her father without fear, and said loudly, "Daddy, I'm here to explain it to everyone, so that people don't misunderstand." ”

Fang Yan said, looking at the Seventh Prince and the Prince Zhao Zhuofeng, Fang Yan was slightly blessed, "The little girl can get the favor of the two, and I am ashamed." As the daughter of a general, Fang Yan grew up in the barracks and was not as pretentious as her daughter in the boudoir. Therefore, I hope that His Royal Highness and the prince will not mind if there are some things to say. ”

Fang Yan said, her eyes turned to Duan Lang gently, and then said, "That day, my father was in prison, and the little girl got evidence to cross the desert and ask for help from Hou Ye. It was at that time that I and the housekeeper were intercepted by the Prime Minister's Mansion. At that time, the little girl was seriously injured, but it was Brother Duan who saved me and protected the little girl all the way south. In that case, the little woman could only share a room with Brother Duan informally. Only in this way can we hold each other in order to save our lives. ”

Fang Yan paused slightly, and looked at her father Fang Jiye, "Daddy, in Shuangfeng Mountain, if it weren't for Brother Duan's sacrifice of his life to save him, not only would his daughter be murdered, but I'm afraid it would be difficult for you to clear your name." From that moment on, her daughter made a wish to repay herself. Whether you think your daughter is insulting or not, but your daughter has a clear conscience. Since I have made a wish, even if Brother Duan doesn't want me, my daughter will be in this life~ the old boudoir. ”

Fang Yan ignored her shyness and expressed her attitude in front of everyone. This explanation made Fang Jiye breathe a sigh of relief. In any case, it is excusable to get together in a room under that circumstances, and it is not as dirty as Shangguan Xuanwu said.

When the Seventh Prince Delong heard this, he couldn't help but admire Fang Yan's bravery and courage, and he was even more happy in his heart. At the very least, Duan Lang's addition has disturbed the layout of Xining Hou. Moreover, Duan Lang really wanted to marry this Fang girl, which would play an important role in the stability of the entire Great Xia.

Bai Ruo came and went back in vain, and then forced a marriage in this situation, it would be a slap in the face of Xining Hou. The people of the Xining Hou Mansion avoided it for the time being, and Fang Jiye politely told him to hold a banquet in the evening to catch the wind for the prince.

In the hall, only Zhang Ruming and the Seventh Prince Dezhang remained. When he got to this top, Jiye couldn't recognize this family, so he had to tell Fang Yan to take Duan Lang to meet her mother.

Zhang Ruming knew that he was using the excuse to support Duan Lang, and asked with a smile, "General Fang, as the saying goes, the eldest brother is the father, and Duan Lang's parents are not present, so I, as the elder brother, will make the decision for him." Tell me how much bride price you are going to have. ”

Fang Jiye looked at the Seventh Prince's Dezhang, and the Seventh Prince immediately understood, stood up and said, "General Fang, you talk slowly, I'll go back to the post house to do some things first." ”

"Since His Highness has something to do, then the old man will not send it far away, please!" Fang Jiye politely sent the Seventh Prince out of the door.

Returning to the hall, Fang Jiye immediately ordered someone to close the door to thank the guests, and even the door of the living room was closed.

Zhang Ruming said with a smile, "General Fang, for the sake of the bride price, don't be so nervous." Let's talk about it first, it's not okay for the lion to open his mouth, Duan Lang is a poor boy. ”

"Shangguan Heavenly Master, now the old man is not in the mood to talk about the marriage of the little girl. Is it so easy for you to get to Kyoto? Fang Jiye looked at Zhang Ruming strangely.

"Cowardly, Lao Tzu's Heavenly Master Hall has moved to Lidu City, what does it have to do with what Kyoto has become." Zhang Ruming said disdainfully.

"Don't think that you can stay out of the matter in Lidu City, Yu Ban Lao Er's eyes will be repaid, you lead people to besiege his mansion and curse, he will definitely settle this account with you."

"Okay, if you have the ability, you can come to the capital, and I can still be afraid of him."

"Hehe, it's really a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers, which really makes the old man admire. It's just that the old man doesn't understand, what confidence do you have to be so arrogant. In the past capital, the city defense and miscellaneous guards are not enough for people to stuff their teeth. ”

Zhang Ruming smiled mysteriously, "Of course I have the confidence, isn't this with you, as long as your son-in-law follows me, he still dares to do anything to Lao Tzu." ”

Fang Jiye thought for a moment and nodded silently, "Yes, if Yan'er really marries Duan Lang, a stinky boy, my 200,000 army in the northwest can be regarded as your dependence." But I don't know, if Yu Ban mobilizes the soldiers and horses of the two cities to arrest you, can Lidu City insist on the arrival of my northwest army? On the other hand, once Prince Tokusho ascends the throne, do you dare not go to Kyoto to go to Asaga? ”

Zhang Ruming pursed his lips, which made him very embarrassed. If you don't go, it will be contempt for the new emperor as a rebellion. But after going, without the support of Emperor Yuning, I'm afraid Yu Ban won't let him return to Lidu City.

"General Fang, but I wonder if you will go?"

"Of course I will."

"Then you're not afraid~ Yu Ban that old Wang Ba detains you?"

Fang Jiye smiled calmly, picked up the teacup and took a sip, "What they are afraid of is not me, but the 200,000 army behind me. Yu Ban knew in his heart that taking the old man in the northwest would be chaotic. Therefore, the old man's net worth is still safe. ”

"Then so am I, if I detain this Heavenly Master, the capital city will be in chaos."

"Uh~!" Fang Jiye almost didn't squirt out a sip of tea.

"Shangguan Heavenly Master, the old man doesn't have the heart to joke with you. If you are so rash, I'm afraid the old man will keep Duan Lang under my command. Fang Jiye said unhappily.

Zhang Ruming smiled, "General Fang, if I'm not mistaken, it looks like you're planning to form an alliance with the Marquis of Xining?" ”

Fang Jiye was stunned for a moment, hesitated slightly, nodded and said, "Yes, if the two of us join forces, it will be enough to deter half of the country, and Yu Ban will not dare to act rashly." ”

As the two were talking, there was a few knocks on the door, "General, Duan Lang Gongzi is here." ”

Fang Jiye was stunned, and said in his heart that he would come back so soon, "Let him come in." ”

Duan Lang pushed the door and walked in, Zhang Ruming said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for so long, why don't you talk for a while." ”

Duan Lang looked at Fang Jiye embarrassedly, "I was driven back." ”

Fang Jiye smiled bitterly, "The girl is thin-skinned, you can also sit down, just listen to the world's major events." ”

Fang Jiye did not take Duan Lang as an outsider, and continued to discuss with Zhang Ruming about the alliance with the Marquis of Xining. When Duan Lang heard this, his brows furrowed, and he said.

"Uncle, the juniors think this matter is inappropriate."

Fang Jiye was slightly angry, "What do you know, if the two of us join forces, who else in this world can help me." "Fang Jiye said in his heart that if it weren't for your kid to insert a pole, Xining Hou and I would have become sons and daughters.

"Uncle, what the junior means is that there is no need to be in such a hurry about the alliance. After all, Emperor Yuning is still in power, and Dezhang is just a prince. Even if Emperor Yuning is really gone, the first target of the court can only be the Marquis of Xining. When the time comes, the Kyoto camp and the northern camp will press in, and the Marquis of Xining will definitely come to beg you. If you want to form an alliance at that time, no matter what conditions your uncle proposes, I believe Xining Hou will agree. Duan Lang said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Fang Jiye was slightly stunned and looked at Duan Lang in surprise. Unexpectedly, his son-in-law really has a bit of strategic vision.

"Well, that's right, what if Yu Ban'er's first target is me? Isn't that what I need to ask for Xininghou? Anything can happen, don't underestimate Yu Ban's resourcefulness. ”

"If that's the case, Yu Ban's kick will be kicked on the stone. My soldiers and horses in the capital city plus your 200,000 troops can completely consume the invading enemy. Duan Lang said confidently.

When Fang Jiye heard this, he looked at Duan Lang and was stunned for a long time, and suddenly burst out laughing. In his opinion, Duan Lang is simply taking war as a child's play, and a mere city defense miscellaneous team that is not even equipped with equipment dares to speak out about war. Fang Jiye didn't know that the Admiral of the Treasury Division of the Ministry of War lived in Lidu City, and with the cooperation of Si He Lianjia, the envoy of the Ministry of War, a large number of elite weapons and arrows were continuously piled up in the warehouses of Lidu City.

"Boy, don't think that you have fought a battle if you have played a prestige in Yushan Pass, do you know what the necessary conditions for a battle are?" Fang Jiye looked at Duan Lang mockingly.

"Yes!" Duan Lang looked at Fang Jiye very calmly, "There are plenty of soldiers, food and grass, and offensive and defensive preparation materials. Uncle rest assured, if you really want to fight, Lidu City is not so easy to gnaw. ”

"Good! This courage is very good, young people have courage, but they also have to do what they can. If 100,000 soldiers and horses from the Kyoto camp attack, how long can you hold out? ”

Duan Lang smiled slightly, and said in his heart that there were only 100,000 soldiers and horses, and it depended on how long they could hold out. Don't look at Lao Tzu, there are only 30,000 people, and it is not a problem to fight three with one.

"Uncle, it's too early to talk about that. However, the younger generation still insisted on his own opinion, and it was not appropriate to form an alliance with Xining Hou at this time. When he was in Kyoto, the younger generation had seen Emperor Yuning's foresight, and even if Emperor Yuning really failed, he would probably leave some behind. Don't forget, the soldiers and horses of the northern camp and the Kyoto camp were not under the control of Yu Ban. And there is also a Huai-sama in Kyoto, who is currently the most terrifying opponent of Yu Ban. ”

Duan Lang looked at Fang Jiye sincerely, since he was going to marry Fang Yan as his wife, he had to think about Fang Jiye's future. It is even said that the existence of soldiers and horses in the capital city has undergone fundamental changes. What was originally an ambush against Fang Jiye has now become a defensive wall blocking Kyoto for him.

Duan Lang's words also made Fang Jiye fall into deep thought. After thinking for a long time, Fang Jiye sighed and said.

"Okay, I believe that Bai Ruokong will bring up this matter tonight, so let's prevaricate for the time being. Duan Lang, my uncle doesn't treat you as outsiders, I'm worried, if Kyoto comes to let you enter Beijing, will you go or not? ”

Zhang Ruming snorted and said, "It depends on who gave this warrant, if it is an edict issued by Emperor Yuning, of course you have to go." If it is the third prince Dezhang, then one word ~ get out! ”

"What, you really want to be a rich man in Lidu City?"

Zhang Ruming puffed out his chest, "So what." ”

"Good! Anyway, Duan Lang, this kid will also be half of my son in the future, and the old man will go out to support you. ”

Duan Lang looked at Zhang Ruming, the two of them smiled and nodded, as for the background of their historical capital, Duan Lang didn't want to expose it too early. The fewer people who know about this matter, the better, and with the war going on, Duan Lang believes that they will make everyone fall for attention.

After talking about business, let's talk about marriage. Due to the absence of Duan Lang's adoptive father, the two parties only temporarily set the marriage contract. As for the bride price, Fang Jiye was very generous, and only let Duan Lang leave the eighteen guards he brought. As soon as he heard this, Duan Lang said that he didn't agree to anything, and Fang Jiye, who was angry, was anxious. In the end, in desperation, Duan Lang had no choice but to give a big gift to appease Fang Jiye's heart. Duan Lang's gift is the second son born to Fang Yan in the future, and he can enter Fangmen with his mother's surname. When Fang Jiye heard that he could continue the bloodline of the Fang clan, of course he happily agreed.

Duan Lang and the others did not eat in the mansion, and Fang Jiye had to hold a banquet in the evening to invite the Hou Shizi of Xining and his party. Walking out of the hall and coming to the door of Fang's mansion, Duan Lang was stunned and found that Tangtai Mingyue and Fang Yan were waiting for him.

Zhang Ruming said hello with a smile and took the lead in entering the car. Duan Lang looked at the two delicate little beauties, scratched his head and said.

"Why, you're going to go back to the inn with me."

Tantai Mingyue smiled, "It's so thick-skinned, why don't you go back with you." ”

Duan Lang said with a smile, "People in the mountains, there is no politeness, just straightforward." ”

Fang Yan didn't speak shyly, just lowered her head and rubbed a handkerchief. Yutai Mingyue said, "The two of us are here to tell you that if you don't go back tonight, I will live with Sister Fang Yan." ”

Duan Lang looked at Fang Yan, nodded and said, "It's okay, let's go back and discuss, if we return to Lidu City tomorrow, we will send someone to say it." ”

Fang Yan was stunned, "Why, leave so soon?" ”

"Uh~That~ then stay a few more days." Duan Lang said embarrassedly.

Tantai Mingyue covered her mouth and smiled, "Silly sister, I'll take you with me when the time comes." Anyway, you have a marriage contract, what are you afraid of? Brother Duan, you go back first, otherwise Lord Shangguan will be in a hurry. ”

A hint of blush appeared on Duan Lang's slightly dark face, and he nodded embarrassedly. Zhang Ruming and Duan Lang left the Shuai Mansion and returned to the post house, while the Seven Princes were waiting anxiously.

Back at the post house, close to noon, Zhang Ruming was in a good mood and ordered someone to prepare a sumptuous banquet. As soon as Zhang Ruming sees food, he will leave any troubles behind. Under the flattery of everyone, he was drunk again.

Duan Lang came to his bedroom, and as soon as he came in with his front foot, the Seventh Prince followed. Duan Lang looked at it and asked with a smile.

"Why, as soon as something happened in Kyoto, you, the marginal prince, became worried? Seventh Highness, in fact, you should relax, no matter how crazy the trouble in Kyoto is, it has nothing to do with you. ”

"Duan Lang, there are some words~ I don't know if I should ask."

"If it's about Mingyue and Fang Yan, you just shut up for me, I don't care if you're a prince or not." Duan Lang said threateningly.

"No, no, I only have admiration for Miss Mingyue, and I have nothing more than thoughts. What I want to ask is, I wonder if General Fang left you to discuss an alliance with the Marquis of Xining? The Seventh Prince asked cautiously.

Duan Lang looked at the Seventh Prince, "That's right, this matter is indeed being discussed." Even if I say no, I'm afraid you won't believe it. ”

"Didn't you dissuade you?" The Seventh Prince asked eagerly.

Duan Lang pulled a chair and sat down, looked at the Seventh Prince and said, "If it were you, would you form an alliance with the Marquis of Xining in this situation in Kyoto?" ”

The Seventh Prince was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile, "To be honest, I will do the same." Only when the two battalions join forces can Kyoto take them and there is no way. ”

"Knowing the result, you still ask, what, do you want to give credit to your prince brother?"

The Seventh Prince's face turned cold, "Duan Lang, I treat you as a friend, please don't humiliate the personality of this prince repeatedly." ”

Duan Lang laughed, "Teasing you, what's the hurry." Don't worry, I have already persuaded General Fang not to form an alliance with the Marquis of Xining for the time being. It's just that I hope Yu Ban and your third brother don't push too hard. ”

When the Seventh Prince heard this, his face suddenly showed joy, "Great, Duan Lang, I have an idea." In fact, General Fang didn't have to form an alliance with the Marquis of Xining, so he could still make Yu Ban dare not act rashly. Moreover, there is no need to bear the reputation of disobedience to the monarch. ”

"Oh?" Duan Lang was stunned for a moment, "Let's talk about it." ”

The Seventh Prince's body leaned slightly, "Ally with me." ”

"You?" Duan Lang's curiosity that had just risen was immediately deflated when he heard this.

"Duan Lang, it doesn't matter if you underestimate me, but you must not underestimate the northern camp." The Seventh Prince looked at Duan Lang angrily.

"Even if Ma Ru is your uncle, it doesn't have much to do with you, and people won't offend Prince Dezhang, who is about to ascend the throne, for you."

"You're wrong, before my uncle left Kyoto, my father called us together. The northern camp is the foundation left to me by my father. My uncle took the Coach Tiger Talisman away, but the Boss Seal is in my hands. You should know what the consequences would have if there was no marching document for the order to be sealed. No, any military affairs of any size can be dispatched with tiger talismans. ”

Duan Lang's expression also became stunned, he didn't expect Emperor Yuning to leave the commander of the northern battalion, Ling Yin, to the Seventh Prince.

"Seventh Prince, do you want to ascend to the throne?" Duan Lang asked in surprise.

The Seventh Prince shook his head slightly, "What my father said is right, my body is not suitable for state affairs. However, this prince is really tired of the life of the high walls and deep palace. I want to be like you, carefree and free. Therefore, as long as General Fang is allied with me, this prince is not very demanding, I only ask the third brother to reward me with the title of Lidu City. Don't worry, I won't fight you and Shangguan Heavenly Master for control. This prince does not value money and power, but only wants to be able to live a free life. ”

Duan Lang looked at the Seventh Prince with some surprise, but he didn't expect that there was such a huge amount of energy hidden in his sick body. If he really joined forces with the northern battalion, Yu Ban would have completely lost his hole cards, and even if he completely controlled the Kyoto battalion, he would not dare to send a single soldier. Even if you go to eradicate Xining Hou, I'm afraid you have to look at their faces. Otherwise, any large battalion of troops would take advantage of the weakness and seize control of Kyoto.

Thinking of this, Duan Lang's heart suddenly moved, and his eyes lit up. He suddenly had an idea, if Fang Jiye and Ma Ru joined forces, let alone deter Yu Ban and Prince Dezhang, he could even directly force the palace to Kyoto, and forcibly elevate the Seven Princes to the throne with the might of the two battalions of soldiers and horses!

Duan Lang's eyes stared at the Seventh Prince Dezhang, and he suddenly found that the sick prince in front of him actually had some imperial spirit.
