Chapter 132: Feng Fang's stammer
Feng Fang's camp tent is more luxurious than that of the captains in the West Garden, but this is understandable, after all, behind this is the son-in-law of Cao Jie, who once leaned towards the government and the opposition, the so-called tiger is dead, and now Cao Jie has just died, his obscenity is still there, and Feng Fang is like this, and no one cares about him.
Xu Ji was introduced into his big tent by Feng Fang and found that Feng Fang had let him sit in the main seat, Xu Ji immediately spoke: "Captain Feng, Wen Lie is a junior, how can he sit in this position?" This trip turned to visit the elderly, so it was unacceptable. When Feng Fang heard this, he smiled and said, "I have heard that the horse knows etiquette and knows things, and today I saw that it was really the case." It's just that the rank of the lower officials and the rank of the horses are all lower than the horses, how can they be in vain to occupy the main position? Presumably, the concubine also knows that the subordinate can practice the position of captain in the West Garden is just the saint who is grateful to the lower official and the uncle, and now the lower official is in a panic, and he needs to be more blessed in the West Garden in the future. ”
As soon as Xu Ji heard this, he immediately understood, Feng Fang was so flattering himself in order to find a backer. Feng Fang is not stupid, Xiyuan has already divided into factions in just a few days, Xu Ji and Jian Shuo are undoubtedly already one faction, they were personally appointed by Liu Hong, and naturally they cannot be generalized with the rest. And Yuan Shao also took Chun Yuqiong to his own side, and the rest of them naturally had to think about it carefully.
And Feng Fang's consideration is also very simple, there will always be nothing wrong with following the emperor's side, and Xu Ji is a concubine, if Xu Ji is not in this capacity, then Feng Fang will definitely go to the stammer. Now that Xu Ji has come to the door by himself, how could Feng Fang miss the reason to show loyalty? Thinking about this section, Xu Ji also smiled: "Wen Lie is young after all, and he still needs more guidance from you in the West Garden." Captain Feng should be more instructive to Wen Lie. This seemed to be a kind word, but Feng Fang was such a shrewd person, and he immediately understood the meaning of Xu Ji's words.
"What's the trouble with the pony? You may wish to let me know, Feng Fang may be able to help. Xu Ji tested Feng Fang a little and really took the bait, but Feng Fang's attitude didn't seem to be resolute, so Xu Ji didn't say it too clearly: "In recent days, Chun Yuqiong has always been looking for trouble with my subordinates, Wen Lie is really tired, does Captain Feng have an idea?" ”
Feng Fang frowned when she heard this, and seemed to be indignant: "Isn't this Chun Yuqiong eating the guts of an ambitious leopard?" Do you really think that if you become the captain of the West Garden, you will be able to see no one in your eyes? Don't disturb the donkey, Feng Fang will solve this unknown thing for the horse. "Don't look at Feng Fang, what he said was an oath. But Xu Ji didn't believe it at all. Feng Fang is a human spirit, how could he not know that behind Chun Yuqiong is Yuan Shao? This is just to please Xu Ji, once Xu Ji asks him in the future, it can be said that Yuan Shao stopped him, and Xu Ji will never go to confront Yuan Shao. But how could Xu Ji let Feng Fang be so cheap. But it's not appropriate to say more at this time. So Xu Ji also nodded and thanked: "Then I have to thank Captain Feng first." ”
After Xu Ji said this, he looked around and whispered: "I have such a relationship with Captain Feng, so I will tell you the inside story." The Holy Parade is false, but in fact, it is just to see if all the people in the West Garden are loyal to the Holy Lord, presumably Captain Feng also knows the current situation of the Holy Saint. The West Garden is responsible for guarding Luoyang and the Imperial Palace, so ...... Captain Feng understands? Xu Ji deliberately didn't explain it to make Feng Fang guess in shock, of course Feng Fang was not so smart, and he could find out that what Xu Ji said was not the truth.
In Feng Fang's opinion, what Xu Ji said is extremely reasonable, the existence of the West Garden was originally to divide He Jin's military power, which is almost known to the whole dynasty, but the responsibilities of the West Garden have not been subdivided, the reason is that these have to wait for the military parade to make a decision, so now the soldiers of the West Garden do not know what they need to do. And Xu Ji's vague remarks are quite reasonable, at least they sound like that.
Feng Fang frowned and said, "What does the concubine mean is that the Holy Lord is afraid that there are people in the West Garden who are not loyal?" The corners of Xu Ji's mouth showed a smile of incomprehensible meaning and said: "Wen Lie doesn't know what the saint means, but I have heard that Captain Yuan has been a staff member of the general, but I don't know if it's true or not." ”
Feng Fang immediately changed color when she heard this, but she quickly covered it up with a smile, but how good is Xu Ji's eyesight? Even if it was only for a moment, Xu Ji still saw it, obviously his words had aroused Feng Fang's suspicions. Xu Ji believed that according to Feng Fang's eagerness to confront himself, after he said this, Feng Fang would inevitably ask someone to investigate the matter, and at that time, he would not have to provoke Feng Fang himself, he would also find Yuan Shao's troubles and please himself.
However, for the time being, Feng Fang still said with a smile on his face: "This is the first time that Xia Guan has heard of this, but I don't know if it's true or not." However, as the uncle of the country, why is the general ...... saint? Without waiting for Feng Fang to finish speaking, Xu Ji immediately pretended to have a face and said sharply: "Captain Feng is cautious!" Royal matters, Modo said! Wen Lie is thinking about the captain. "How could Feng Fang actually not realize this? He deliberately said this to test Xu Ji, and Xu Ji's reaction made him very relieved, so he also put on a panicked face and said: "The lower official has no intention of slandering, don't blame the horse, please forgive the horse." Xu Ji also laughed secretly in his heart when he heard this, how could he not see Feng Fang's intentions? It was precisely because he saw through Feng Fang's meaning that he pretended to be fierce and opened his mouth to reprimand, but in fact, Xu Ji was almost certain that as soon as he left, Feng Fang would immediately begin to doubt himself.
"Captain Feng, it's just a matter of saying this in private, Wen Lie will never say that he knows about it with outsiders, but he will be cautious about this matter in the future." Xu Ji said this, and he almost couldn't help laughing, because he himself was the kind of so-called disrespectful person. Feng Fang naturally didn't dare to say more, and then Xu Ji deliberately mentioned the matter of visiting Yuan Shao just now, and Feng Fang immediately began to ask about it, Xu Ji also directly told the truth, of course Xu Ji was not worried, because this is the case, but once Feng Fang investigated, he would begin to suspect Yuan Shao, according to his thoughts, Xu Ji, the concubine, immediately came to visit Yuan Shao without any flattery, and it was really doubtful to refuse to be thousands of miles away, For a villain like Feng Fang, he would not believe that Yuan Shao would be so high-minded. What's more, in fact, Yuan Shao is not a high-minded person, otherwise why would he work for He Jin?
However, of course, it was impossible for Feng Fang to show this, and Xu Ji was not interested in knowing what Feng Fang thought and how he looked at it. All he had to do was to seduce Feng Fang into investigating Yuan Shao, and after that, no matter whether Feng Fang took further action or not, he would be regarded as someone from Xu Ji's side in Yuan Shao's eyes. At that time, Yuan Shao is likely to turn the gun and deal with Feng Fang first, Xu Ji's identity is there, Yuan Shao is not easy to start, and Feng Fang is different.
Moreover, attacking Feng Fang can also play a role in knocking on Xu Ji and shaking the tiger, at least for Yuan Shao, it has this effect. If everything develops according to Xu Ji's expectations, then no matter what the result is, Xu Ji's goal has been achieved, Yuan Shao will deal with Feng Fang, which will leave space for Xu Ji, and when Yuan Shao solves Feng Fang, Xu Ji believes that he no longer needs to be afraid of Yuan Shao.
Then Xu Ji offered to leave, and Feng Fang naturally wanted to keep Xu Ji, after all, this concubine was his Feng Fang's backer in the West Garden. Compared to dealing with Jian Shuo's weird old guy. In Feng Fang's opinion, Xu Ji is undoubtedly a little better to deal with.
Therefore, even in the barracks, Feng Fang still bought a banquet to entertain Xu Ji, this dish is not small, it is the signboard of Luoyang's famous "Hero Building".
Speaking of the Hero Building, one person has to be mentioned. This person is Wang Yue, a first-class master of swordsmanship in the world. This Hero Building was opened by his chief disciple Shi A. And the reason why Wang Yue is mentioned is also because this person has some connections with the royal family. This is the prince's swordsmanship teacher, otherwise how can a Jianghu person be looked up to? Xu Ji didn't know about this, but Feng Fang told Xu Ji in order to tell Xu Ji the origin of this dish.
And after Feng Fangyi said, Xu Ji was quite interested in this Wang Yue. The story of this current swordsmanship teacher is quite legendary, when he was young, he rode into Liaodong alone to kill the thief and returned with his head, although Xu Ji was quite skeptical about the authenticity of this matter, but his reputation for bravery was true. However, Xu Ji felt a little sad for him, that is, what about the excellent swordsmanship fried rice? Wang Yue is just a vulgar person who wields a knife and a gun in the eyes of the scholars, which is probably why Wang Yue later gave up the life of indulging in the rivers and lakes and sought to be inferior to the official career, but unfortunately the scholars just regarded him as a caretaker.
Of course, everyone has their own lives, and Xu Ji is not interested in helping Wang Yue. What really made Xu Ji care was the Hero Building founded by Wang Yue's disciples, which was a place in Luoyang that people with no status could not enter, and almost all of them were powerful, which was almost the most suitable living environment for the shadow, Xu Ji's heart was suddenly attracted by this seemingly perfect prospect.
Although the Phantom has also made a lot of achievements before, the efficiency of always collecting intelligence is too low, and it is difficult to prove the truth or falsehood, but after Xu Ji heard about the way of the Hero Building, he immediately realized that this was almost set up for the Phantom, and the restaurant was the best cover for the Phantom, this kind of place was mixed with three religions and nine streams, and the Phantom was born to survive in this environment.
And according to Feng Fang, the hero building is divided into two parts, which is for those ordinary people whose status is not high, and the upper part is not allowed to enter without the powerful, and this is also divided into two places, Xu Ji can't help but begin to admire Shi A, this guy who has never met is almost a man who God gave him to lead the shadow, the business model of the hero building can not only provide a considerable amount of information, but also a way to make huge profits, Xu Ji can't wait to immediately take this Shi A under his command, and now Bo Cai is not around, Many times, Xu Ji really needed someone who could gather intelligence for him, and now this person seems to have appeared.
However, these thoughts also flashed, Xu Ji still had to solve the problem on Feng Fang's side first, Shi A's matter was not so urgent, of course, this was also relative.
And Feng Fang naturally didn't expect that in order to please Xu Ji, he specially used some connections to get this banquet in the Hero Building to give Xu Ji a lot of inspiration, and Xu Ji looked at Feng Fang more and more satisfied. Although Feng Fang is a person with a loss of virtue but is a useful person, but Xu Ji has no intention of really using this person, this kind of person may bring surprises to himself, provided that this guy is not from his own side, Xu Ji's mind is even more determined.
And when he thought about this, Xu Ji was silent for a long time, and Feng Fang saw Xu Ji like this, so he asked, "Don't you, what's the matter, is the dish unappetizing?" Xu Ji woke up and shook his head and said, "It's not that the dishes are unappetizing, it's that Wen Lie has thought of something again, Captain Feng, do you know what Wang Yue's situation is now?" Feng Fang was also relieved when she heard this, and replied with a smile when she heard Xu Ji's question: "It's not good." You are also a scholar, and you naturally know the status of the martial arts in the eyes of the literati, not to mention that this old guy can only play with swords, and he is competent to take care of the family, but this person just wants to become an official. Eh, I think it's the end of becoming a royal swordsmanship teacher. ”
Xu Ji smiled noncommittally when he heard this, and then asked, "Then why didn't his eldest disciple Shi A also enter the palace as a teacher?" Feng Fang shook his head when he heard this: "I don't know this, it's just that it is rumored in the market that Shi Ah does not like the official place because he is unwilling to be sent with his teacher, but some people say that the Hero Building also has a part of Wang Yue, whether it is true or false, who knows." How. Why did the colt suddenly become so interested in these two masters and apprentices? ”
Xu Ji shook his head and said, "I'm just curious." This master and apprentice are also interesting, the teacher wants to be an official but has no way, and the disciple is undoubtedly an official but intersects with the powerful all day long, tsk. Sure enough, the world is impermanent. Hearing Xu Ji's words, Feng Fang was also Ha Lu, and Ha Da Lu smiled: "Who said it wasn't?" Xia Guan had seen Wang Yue and Shi A at a banquet before his father-in-law's death. This master and apprentice are really different people. Wang Yue is not good at words, but Shi A is good at dancing with long sleeves. Xia Guan also wondered why such a teacher could teach such an apprentice. ”
Xu Ji smiled but didn't speak again. It seems that Feng Fang's news here ends here, and it is not difficult to hear from Feng Fang's words that this master and apprentice are extremely low-key people, and this kind of person is usually a representative who is difficult to deal with. Although Xu Ji is not in a hurry to take down the Hero Building, it is always right to prepare early, Xu Ji has already aimed at the potential intelligence gathering ability of the Hero Building, but it seems that Shi Ah is probably much more difficult to deal with than his master.
Here, after Xu Ji and Feng Fang finished the banquet, the matter was temporarily over, and Xu Ji only needed to sit back and wait for Feng Fang and Yuan Shao to add a fire when there was a slight dispute. Now the focus should be changed slightly, Xu Jike has not forgotten that his wife who has not passed through the door brought a letter to Cai Yan when he was sent to the palace, there is nothing important in the letter, but only one thing has attracted Xu Ji's attention, there is He Jin who seems to have the intention of dealing with the eunuchs.
Of course, He Jin didn't want to deal with the eunuchs for a day or two, but every time Queen He blocked it before, and this time it seemed that He Jin was determined to solve the Ten Standing Servants, and even Queen He couldn't stop it, Xu Ji instinctively felt that his life was not very stable again. Although He Jin showed such a little sign of it, according to He Jin's butcher temperament, this matter will not be delayed for too long.
And this means that Xu Ji has to hurry up again, Luoyang may soon become an eventful place again, Xu Ji must prepare early. And this time, the power and strength in Xu Ji's hands have shrunk, he is not familiar with the place, he does not dare to act rashly, and the marriage has not been completed, Xu Ji has no reason to do anything too out of line. And Yin Ning also said in the letter that he wanted him to feel at ease, although Xu Ji knew that this comfort accounted for most of it, but out of some guilt, he was still obedient and didn't make much action. Although it's actually because Xu Ji can't do anything at this time.
But the next thing was a little interesting, Feng Fang really lived up to Xu Ji's expectations, and soon began to investigate Yuan Shao's affairs, Yuan Shao has always relied on Yuan's reputation to act and not be very low-key, so the matter of why he worked before was quickly investigated by Feng Fang, of course, this has a lot to do with Yuan Shao never covering it up.
In the face of Feng Fang's investigation, of course, Yuan Shao could not be so calm, but Yuan Shao had been holding on until he figured out Feng Fang's purpose, but Feng Fang belonged to Xu Ji's side, and in Yuan Shao's opinion, there was no doubt about it. So Yuan Shao was also secretly thinking about how to make Feng Fang not so comfortable.
And Xu Ji was simply sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight at this time, Yuan Shao, who was originally going to deal with himself, had to deal with Feng Fang at this time, Feng Fang would naturally deal with Yuan Shao for Xu Ji in order to tie up Xu Ji, and the time that Xu Ji won would definitely not be too long, so Xu Ji decided to establish his own intelligence network before Feng Fang and Yuan Shao really turned their faces, and the first step was to go to the Hero Building to meet this Shi A.
The Hero Building is located in a downtown not far from the West Garden, Xu Ji did not bring too many people with him on this trip, followed by Dian Wei, and the other two had to stay in the army to deal with military affairs. Xu Ji and Dian Wei can almost be regarded as the two most idle people in Xu Ji's camp. And in order to see Shi A, Xu Ji even went to Feng Fang to lead the way, after all, he has some connections in Luoyang, and Xu Ji at least borrowed these connections to complete his quest for the Hero Building.
Of course, Xu Ji didn't plan to find guilt, just leave everything to Feng Fang, this lieutenant's stammering with Xu Ji can be seen by everyone, and the reason why Feng Fang is so high-profile is to show that he is a person from Xu Ji's side, in a way, Xu Ji thinks that this, Feng Fang, is some kind of smart way to protect himself. As for the so-called Wang Yue, Xu Ji is not interested in anything, a guy who only plays with swords really has nothing to do with himself.
Thinking of this, Feng Fang in front of him suddenly stopped, Xu Ji looked up, and only looked at the plaque hanging on the door, and the text of the iron painting silver hook showed that the person who wrote this plaque probably had a lot of stories. (To be continued......)
