Fang Jie looked at Shi Bao and said, "I want to avenge my aunt." ”

Shi Bao joined Manichaeism when he first wanted to make a career like Lu Shinang, and the survival of Manichaeism was even less important to him, so he nodded and said, "I'll accompany you." ”

When Fang Jie heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

When they went north together, the prince had already led his troops to Tokyo. As soon as the two of them combined, they were ready to chase the prince, even if the prince could not immediately lead his troops south to avenge Fang Baihua, they could also help the prince fight against Western Xia. In that way, the prince will help them take revenge in the future, and they will have less debt in their hearts, but they were just about to leave, but Fang Jie suddenly fell ill.

All his family members were killed, his liver qi was stagnant, coupled with a series of battles, and then a long journey, Fang Jie's illness was a serious illness. Soon, the valuables on the two of them were all sold, and finally Shi Bao's treasure knife was pawned. There are nursing homes and peacehouses in the city to help pedestrians and give alms, but Shi Bao is reluctant to eat the food that comes to him, and he would rather go to the docks to work as a coolie to earn money to feed the two of them than to receive relief.

Or they go to the Taigong to report their names, and the people in the Taigong will not ignore them, but the whole city knows that the prince has led troops to the battle, and it is not easy for them to go to the Taigong for help. can only rely on Shi Bao to work as a coolie on the dock to make a living, waiting for the prince's class.

Fortunately, there are countless boats coming and going in the Bianhe River, and there are many livelihoods at the wharf, and the strong Shi Bao can do the work of five people alone, so the two of them have persevered to this day.

If it weren't for Shi Bao, Fang Jie didn't know where he would have been.

When you go out, it is easy to fall into trouble, and there are not a few people who die in other places.

Therefore, Fang Jie has always regarded Shi Bao as a life-saving benefactor, and naturally he is unwilling to separate.

Xiao Wenhou Lu Fang knew that there was Ren Jinnu in the carriage, so naturally he would not let Fang Jie, Shi Bao and the prince's concubine ride in the same carriage, and saw the two of them coming. So he asked the two soldiers to give the war horse to the two.

After Ren Jinnu saw Chao Yong getting on the train, he leaned on the carriage in a daze, and knew that something bad had happened. The place where Chao Yong and Shi Bao were talking just now was still a little bit away from the carriage, but she didn't hear the conversation.

Ren Jinnu hesitated for a moment, and said cautiously: "Did something happen?" ”

Chao Yong said expressionlessly: "A beloved woman was killed. ”

Although Chao Yong did not show a sad expression, Ren Jinnu still heard endless sadness and anger from Chao Yong's tone.

Prince's Day mourning? Prince take care?

Ren Jinnu wanted to say a few words of comfort, but the prince didn't show much affection, maybe he didn't want people to know his feelings. Therefore, Ren Jinnu sat obediently on the side and did not say more.

There was silence in the carriage.

to the womb too. Chao Yong got out of the car and saw Shi Bao and Fang Jie following him, so he said, "You guys should stay in the Taigong Palace first, and I will notify you when the army goes down to the south of the Yangtze River." Lu Fang, you go and ask an imperial doctor to see Fang Jie. ”

Fang Jie saw that Chao Yong still remembered his illness. Hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "Thank you, prince." ”

Chao Yong shook his head and said, "You're welcome, you are Baihua's relative, and I should take care of you." Lu Fang, send them every month according to your salary, and pay them a month's salary first. ”

When Lu Fang heard this, he hurriedly said, "Yes." ”

Fang Jie was still hesitant to open his mouth with the prince to give some silver taels and redeem Shi Bao's treasure knife. Seeing Chao Yong's kindness, he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The prince is very loving, I am familiar with martial arts, and I am willing to be a pawn in front of the prince's tent." ”

Shi Bao also hurriedly said: "I am willing to serve." ”

Chao Yong nodded and said, "Then you can listen to it in front of the tent." However, General Shi should accompany Fang Jie to recover first. Lu Fang, you wait for me to arrange for them, good wine and meat to entertain them. I'm a little tired today, wait for Fang Jie's illness to get better. I will feast you again. ”

Lu Fang and Shi Bao just now saw that Fang Baihua's death had a great impact on Chao Yong, not because of the growth of the Great Liang. The crown prince is no longer a corporal, so there is no trace of displeasure. On the contrary, he greatly admired the crown prince.

Entering the palace, Chao Yong said to Ren Jinnu next to him: "I'm a little tired, let's go to you another day." ”

Ren Jinnu also knew the prince's mood, and said obediently: "The slave family will retire first." ”

Chao Yong nodded at Ren Jinnu, and went straight to the Yanfu Palace.

He Yong, the personal eunuch, has been carefully observing the prince's expression by the side, so as to judge the prince's mood, so as not to cause trouble. Seeing that the prince didn't say a word all the way, he also knew that the prince was in a bad mood.

When he arrived at the Yanfu Palace, after personally serving Chao Yong to clean his hands and face, he said cautiously: "Prince, do you want to wait now?" ”

Chao Yong nodded and said, "Now." ”

He Yong saw that Chao Yong cherished words like gold, and hurriedly asked the eunuchs below to pass the meal, while He Yong stood aside and waited, trying to slow down his breathing, so as not to disturb the prince's thoughts.

Soon, the meal came.

Ten dishes and three soups, after the ticket number opened, the palace was no longer thrifty.

In the words of the prince, the more extravagant the palace, the more money the people can earn, and for the sake of the people, they must also be more extravagant. Of course, this premise is that all the things in the Taigong Palace are bought with money, not taken from the people, and of course, no one dares to take it by force now, so there is no need to worry about it.

There is no longer a lot of people to serve the Taigong meal, because the dining table is no longer the long table it used to be, but a round table, and a turntable is designed on it. With a slight turn, the turntable can turn the desired dish to the front, instead of having to tell the waiter what to fetch from time to time, as was the case before.

This is also the design of the prince, in what use's opinion, the design of the prince is no less than the design level of the prince on clothes, and it saves him a lot of things.

Because in the past, when the prince was eating, he needed to pay attention to the prince's expression at all times, and as soon as the prince looked up, he had to see what the prince wanted to eat, and quickly grabbed some and handed them over, instead of waiting for the prince's orders. Of course, sometimes mistakes are inevitable, and although the prince has not punished him for this, it is difficult to ensure that the prince has always been so kind.

Just like today, the prince is unhappy, if he clips the wrong dish, it is likely to cause a big disaster. With the turntable, he doesn't have to pick up vegetables, so he naturally doesn't have to worry about making mistakes.

However, the prince's appetite today is obviously not big, and he hasn't moved the turntable, just mechanically eating a dish in front of him. If the prince said a few words, he would think that the prince liked this dish. But Chao Yong didn't move, but let He Yong know that the prince didn't like this dish, but was not in the mood to turn the turntable.

Eat without saying anything. This is an ancient rite, but the prince has never eaten a meal without saying a word. Even if one eats alone, I will ask them about some things in the palace or have a few small words with them.

The prince behaved like this, not only did everyone not think that the prince was reckless, but felt that the prince was very kind. Of course, the prince is indeed very tolerant of them, and even if something goes wrong on weekdays, he will not blame them heavily.

There is only one red line that cannot be touched by the subordinates in the palace, and that is to interfere in things outside the palace. Whether it is with his own identity or through the identity of the master in the palace. Actually, everyone knows it. After entering the palace, the original identity is gone, and the remaining identity is the person next to the prince. Even if they don't have any official positions, after they go out, ordinary officials don't dare to underestimate them, because they are the prince's people.

In order to avoid the people in the palace from bullying others. The crown prince strictly ordered the people in the palace to intervene in matters outside the palace. As long as you enter the palace, you must be like a monk. If something happens in the family and you have to come forward, then break away from the Taigong and go about your own business.

This is a bit impersonal, but it makes sense. Those who do not want to accept it can choose to leave the palace, but those who stay must accept this rule.

He Yong really wanted to help the prince turn the turntable. But he was afraid of upsetting the prince, but seeing that the prince had eaten up the dish in front of him, if he didn't turn around, it would be too blind. Maybe it will provoke the prince to punish him.

You can never guess when a sulking person will get angry.

Why do you need to see that there are fewer and fewer dishes in front of the prince, and the sweat on his forehead is also increasing, and he is hesitating whether to move the turntable.

Chao Yong suddenly put down his chopsticks and said, "Let's all go down." ”

He was stunned for a moment. Seeing Chao Yong finish eating the rice in the bowl, he hurriedly said, "The villain will bring another bowl of rice?" ”

After speaking. A drop of sweat dripped from his forehead to the ground.

The rice bowls in the palace are very exquisite, and they are all fine products produced by the official kiln, but they are not big. Chao Yong can eat more than five bowls at a time, although he also eats a lot of dishes.

Chao Yong shook his head and said, "No need, take down all the food, you all go down, no one needs to serve you tonight." ”

After saying that, he walked towards the dormitory.

He wanted to say more, but seeing that the prince had already left, he had to order the eunuchs below to take down the dishes, and at the same time ordered the kitchen to be on call at any time, in case the prince needed it.

Why did he ask all the eunuchs in the hall to withdraw, looked at the prince who was already lying on the bed in a daze, and then quietly withdrew.

Chao Yong was lying on the bed, looking at the veil above his head, but what appeared in front of him was a beautiful woman like jade, the two met for the first time in Jiangzhou, and a white-clothed Baihua sword assassinated Cai Jiu, and fell behind, he attacked and killed Cai Jiu with a flat pole, and escaped from the city with Baihua. Letting the boat leave the city, along the way, the heroic words of a hundred flowers sacrificing themselves for righteousness made him bow down.

Time turned, Baihua took people to Liangshan to send hero posts, and invited Liangshan heroes to Tokyo to join the alliance. Then the two of them traveled to Liangshan Shuibo together, and the island in the middle of the lake was happy, and the water was played with the naughty children of the fishing village, pinching the clay people.

Then it's time to meet in Tokyo, visit the Great Xiangguo Temple, and visit the Shubashi Night Market. Daxiangguo Temple, the Four Kings Alliance, the two encountered Gao Yanei doing evil, Chao Yong shot to catch Gao Yanei, and then everyone rushed out of Tokyo by boat.

Chao Yong tried to hold the sluice gate and fainted with his injuries. Fang Baihua pear blossoms bring rain and dive to save people. Although Chao Yong only heard about this later, he could also imagine how anxious and panicked Fang Baihua was at that time.

This beautiful scene makes Chao Yong full of sweetness, although the two have not been together for a long time, but there are many wonderful moments.

But then the situation was not so wonderful, the Four Kings Alliance rebelled, and not long after, Da Liang also rebelled, and the two of them went their separate ways to fight against the Song Dynasty. Until Fang La's army was defeated, Chao Yong sent someone to invite Fang Baihua to go north, but Baihua refused. Then Muzhou fell, Bangyuandong was also breached, Chao Yong also couldn't sleep, and sent many people to Jiangnan to inquire about the news.

At first, I didn't get any definite news about Baihua, but I found out that there was no Fang Baihua among Tong Guan's captives. This also reassured Chao Yong a little, and sure enough, after a few days, Fang Baihua sent someone to deliver a letter, she had successfully broken through, but she went south to join Lu Shinang.

When Chao Yong received this letter, he was also very angry, angry that Baihua had done so many things for Manichaeism, and he had not come north to meet him. But after that, Chao Yong led his troops to retreat to Liao to destroy Xia, and he fought every day, and he forgot the slightest unhappiness. However, he didn't expect Fang Baihua to die. In his mind, Tong Guan without the Western Army is already a paper tiger with teeth extracted, and it will be broken with a stab, even if the remaining forces of Manichaeism cannot unify Jiangnan, they are also one of the best forces in Jiangnan, and Fang Baihua's safety is still guaranteed. It's just that he didn't expect Fang Baihua to die at the hands of Manichaeism.

Many fortresses were not breached by the enemy, but from within.

Chao Yong fell from Caoliang Mountain to the army to destroy the Song Dynasty, and did not experience any internal fighting. That is, after fighting with Song Jiang a few times, Song Jiang's big trouble was eliminated. Then, with the power of the stars descending to earth and the Nine Heavens Xuan Maiden, as well as the invincible divine power and invincible record, everyone gathered under his command, so he ignored the infighting.

Thinking about it at this time, Fang Baihua's situation is really dangerous.

Most of the Fang family was killed by Tong Guan. Only Fang Baihua and Fang Jie were left to escape. However, there were 100,000 soldiers and horses under the command of Lu Shinang, and the main force was still the Manichaean sect. In this way, Lu Shisang and Fang Baihua had a fatal conflict. If there is no Fang Baihua, Lu Shisang is the supreme commander of this army and horses, and he has the final say on where the army goes. Even if he seized Jiangnan in the future and established a new country, the emperor would be him. But with Fang Baihua. Everything is different, Fang Baihua is a Manichaean holy aunt, and her status in the sect is higher than that of Lu Shinang. When she came, Lu Shisang should listen to her. Even if the commander of the army and horses appointed by Fang La was him, but time has passed, and Fang Baihua has enough reasons to seize the position of Lu Shibao. And if Fang Baihua is the commander, everything will have nothing to do with Lu Shinang. Even if it sweeps the south of the Yangtze River again in the future, the world will still be the Fang family. Even if Fang Baihua can't be the empress, but the Fang family still has Fang Jie, he can be the emperor.

This is not fair to the Manichaean people, because according to the status of Manichaeism, Lu Shinang's status is obviously higher than that of Fang Jie. Fang Baihua can't be the empress, so it's Lu Shinang's turn to be the emperor. But according to the previous rules of Fang La's designation of the crown prince, Fang Baihua would not give up the country to him.

Manichaeism has been transmitted to the Central Plains for hundreds of years, not founded by the Fang family, and Fang La became a holy prince, but because Fang La's martial arts are strong, and he is righteous and righteous. Fang La took Manichaeism to fight the world, and then regarded the world as the Fang family, and Manichaeism became the tool of the Fang family to fight the world. It is impossible to say that there is no discontent in the upper echelons of Manichaeism. After all, the world was laid down by Manichaeism, and this world should be owned by Manichaeism, in that case, after Fang La, as long as it is a high-level, then it will have the opportunity to sit in the world. But the Fang family is unique, then they have no chance at all, and they have to be careful that Fang La crosses the river and demolishes the bridge.

But Fang La's prestige in the sect made them dare not say anything.

However, after Fang La's death, there were still people from the Fang family who wanted to command the army, and the upper echelons of Manichaeism were not satisfied. After all, Manichaeism is not from the Fang family, and when Fang La is dead, they are the ones with the highest status in the sect, not the people of the Fang family. The Manichaean church chose a new Holy Father, but it would never be a member of the Fang family again.

Fang Baihua is a holy aunt, firstly because Fang La is a holy prince, and secondly, because Fang Baihua is strong in martial arts, and he is a beautiful person, which can attract many handsome people to devote themselves to Manichaeism. But after Fang Baihua dived into Tokyo to save Chao Yong, she announced that she was already famous, and she also rejected Junyan in the sect thousands of miles away, plus Fang Baihua's lover was not a person in Manichaeism, but a little overlord of Liangshan. Fang Baihua is of no use to Manichaeism, no one would think that they can rely on marriage to ensure the peaceful coexistence of the two families, not to mention that the Manichaean people have not yet taken the Liangshan forces in their eyes, in their opinion, it must be Manichaeism that takes over the world. After sweeping Jiangnan, they will lead their troops north to capture Tokyo, and then they will sweep away Liangshan Chaogai, Hedong Tianhu, and Huaixi Wang Qing.

It was impossible for them to keep the covenant of the past, although the Tokyo Alliance was proposed by the Manichaeans, and the Manichaeans gave Tian Hu and Wang Qing a lot of gold and silver to raise troops. But they thought more about getting the gold and silver back in the future, rather than being neighbors with them.

Although the Manichaeans were later defeated and Liang Shan took the opportunity to capture Tokyo, Lu Shi Nang did not think that Liang Shan's troops would be stronger than his forces. The soldiers and horses under his command can be said to be one-third of the elite of Manichaeism, after the Manichaeism raised the army, the soldiers were divided into two roads, one was led by Fang Qifo to the north, and the other was led by Lu Shisang to the south, the elite in the sect was divided into three, Fang Qifo and Lu Shisang each brought one, and the remaining one was escorted by Fang La's side, and also coped with emergencies. It's just that they didn't expect their plan to quickly take Jiangnan, but it failed miserably, the soldiers and horses around Fang Qifo and Fang La were all annihilated by Tong Guan, and only the soldiers and horses led by Lu Shisang to the south escaped because of the long distance and slow return.

After all the divisions of the Western Army, Lu Shisang felt that the soldiers and horses under his command could crisscross the south of the Yangtze River, even if he looked at the world, except for the Western Army, he was not afraid of any soldiers and horses. What's more, he is also the highest-ranking person among the remaining high-ranking Manichaeans, although the most extensive Manichaean sect has been washed by Tong Guan, but there are still many Manichaean followers in Jiangnan. As long as he is given time, he will soon be able to gather hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses and sweep Jiangnan. Even if the Great Liang unified the north, he could fight against it. There is no need to use Fang Baihua and Liangshan Alliance at all, of course, he doesn't want Fang Baihua and Chao Yong to marry, otherwise Fang Jie has the support of Daliang, and this Jiangnan is probably still the Fang family.

This is not fair either from a personal or Manichaean point of view.

Lu Shisang had too many reasons to kill Fang Baihua.

Chao Yong only hated that he hadn't thought of it earlier, so he let the potpourri disappear. Thinking of some of the previous dissatisfaction and suspicion of Baihua, I can't wait to give myself a few slaps.
