Cao Shi was stunned, and some didn't react: "What did you say?" ”

Leaving the capital? Why leave the capital? She thought she might have misheard.

However, Fang Wenshan's next words made her understand that she had not heard correctly: "I ask you, would you like to leave the capital with me and go to the north?" ”

Cao Shi looked at his sweetheart in a daze, but still didn't react: "Why?" Why did you leave the capital? Why did you go north? It's not easy for you to be transferred from the border city to Beijing, and it's been less than a year......"

Fang Wenshan smiled self-deprecatingly: "Because, if I don't leave, I may not even be able to save my life, let alone my future." Shuqing, haven't you figured it out? What did your brother die for? If the emperor suspects that he may have the intention of rebellion, how can he not think too much, what kind of confidence does your brother have to give birth to such a bold idea? The poison can be ordered by the queen, but if the Cao family wants to control the situation afterwards, how can they have less Praetorian Guards? If I hadn't been smart enough to ask the emperor for an external transfer earlier, I might have died earlier than your brother! ”

Cao Shi blinked, slowly came back to his senses, and his legs couldn't help but weaken.

Fang Wenshan hurriedly helped her up, moved to a stone not far away and sat down, and then continued: "Scared you? I just want you to understand that the situation in Beijing is so bad that you and I are not suitable to stay any longer. Your brother already had a rebellious heart, and his death was not unjust. But I don't have that kind of rebellious idea. I'm willing to cooperate with your brother's actions, from beginning to end, just for you. ”

Cao Shi looked up at him in a daze, his lips trembled, and two lines of tears fell silently.

She really never thought that her brother's death would bring such a big hidden danger to Fang Wenshan. Fortunately......

Wrong!

Cao Shi hurriedly wiped away the tears on his face, and asked Fang Wenshan with a puzzled face: "You said that you are in my brother...... Before you died, you had already asked the emperor for an external transfer? Could it be that you noticed something before? Why haven't I heard you mention it?! ”

Fang Wenshan's expression was indifferent: "I didn't perceive your brother's crisis, but I just felt the emperor's disgust with me, not because I had rumors of killing my wife, but because I didn't like me to ask to marry you." To put it simply, the emperor did not want the Cao family to interfere in the power of the Praetorian Guard. No matter how much he valued me before, once he knew that I was going to become the son-in-law of the Cao family, he would treat me as an outcast. ”

He looked at Cao Shi seriously: "I discovered this a long time ago, and I didn't dare to easily reveal things about you and me to others. But I know very well in my heart that I can't do this position of Praetorian Guard, and even if I do, I won't be able to do it for long. As long as I marry you, the emperor's favor will no longer exist. The best result is that after you and I get married, we will go to other places to work, far away from the capital, and live in both places. He clasped Cao's hands tightly, "However, even so, I have no regrets. My biggest long-cherished wish in this life is to marry you, as long as my wish is fulfilled, what is fame and fortune for me? ”

Cao Shi was shocked, but at the same time, he was also very moved: "Brother Wenshan, why did you never tell me this?" If I had known, your and I would have hindered your future......"

Fang Wenshan covered her mouth: "I want to fight for the future, just to be worthy of you." If I can't marry you, then what will I do? ”

Cao's tears fell again: "Brother Wenshan......"

Fang Wenshan appeased the Cao family a few words, and returned to the topic again: "Since the emperor knew about the marriage between you and me, he has suspected me. Don't look at his intention to move me for the time being, he still asked me to be the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard, but that was only because I had won the hearts of the people before, and I had gained prestige among the Praetorian Guards, and the removal of me from my post for no reason was easy to cause the Janissaries to be uneasy, and it was also unfavorable to the new commander supported by the emperor. Therefore, the emperor intends to slowly figure it out. When the newcomers supported by the emperor gain a firm foothold in the Praetorian Guard, there will be no need for me to exist.

"At that time, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for me to get out of it all. Therefore, I first asked the emperor for an external transfer, only saying that I missed the life in the border city, wanted to continue to fight against foreign enemies, and did not want to stay in the prosperous place of the capital to waste the years. This is to show the emperor that I don't have the heart of disobedience, I just want to marry you. I don't know if the emperor believes it or not, but he promised to transfer me back to the north. ”

However, the emperor did not leave a hand. Although Fang Wenshan was successfully transferred out this time, it was not transferred back to the border town where he had been in for more than ten years, but another place that was nearly a thousand miles away, not at the border, and did not have much military power in his hands. However, Fang Wenshan didn't care, since he wanted to take the Cao clan to live in the north with him, it was naturally more suitable for the Taiping Realm than the border cities where there were wars all year round.

Fang Wenshan solemnly said to Cao's family: "At first glance, my departure from Beijing seems to be a cut off from my future, and there is no hope. However, I saved my life and my glory. Life in the north may not be as prosperous as in Beijing, but it will no longer make you frightened and burdened by gossip. I can guarantee that your life will never be worse than in the capital. Will you come with me? ”

Cao's heart was in a mess, and he couldn't make a decision for a while. She still has a lot of people and things in the capital, and she can't part with them at all: "If I leave, what will happen to my family?" My mother now lives and dies in the Chengenhou Mansion, and I don't even know if she is really sick! If she really had a stroke, how could I leave her and go with you to a foreign land? Moreover, my brother has an accident now, my nephew is still young, and my sister-in-law supports the portal alone, which is too difficult. If I leave her behind, how do you tell me to have the face to see my brother?! and Hui'er, she is almost at the age of getting married, and she has not done anything about her family affairs with Wen Heng, do you really want to take her to the north with her? How could she possibly say yes? Even sister-in-law and Wen Heng may not be reluctant. ”

Fang Wenshan sighed: "You broke off your relationship with me at the beginning, just for these relatives. Now, I'm about to leave, would you rather give up me for the sake of your relatives? I've been waiting for you for more than ten years before I finally got to this day. You gave me hope and cut off my hope, how can you bear it?! ”

Cao's heart ached, and tears kept pouring out, but he couldn't bear to say no more.

Fang Wenshan took the opportunity to persuade again: "Whether it is your mother, sister-in-law or nephew, now they are controlled by the queen and Chengenhou, but because they want to prove to the emperor that they have no disobedience." As long as the emperor doesn't speak, they have no reason to put your mother to death. Once your mother has a good one, the Chengenhou brothers and nephews will all be worried, what good will it do them?

"As for your sisters-in-law and nephews, orphans and widows, they are not in the climate, as long as you live honestly, no one will be able to get along with them. It makes no difference to them whether you are in the capital or not. On the contrary, you and I went to the north, as long as we can gain a firm foothold and hold real power, your mother, sister-in-law and nephew can be regarded as having a way out. ”

Cao Shi swayed when he heard this: "But the emperor doesn't like you to marry me, you and I are together, will you be affected......

"What's this?" Fang Wenshan glanced into the depths of the trees in front of him, his eyes flashed slightly, "As long as I can live with you, I don't care about anything." ”

The green shadow in the shade of the forest flickered, and quickly disappeared into the distance, and after half a cup of tea, she appeared beside Cheng Wang's and whispered in the latter's ear.

Cheng Wang's expression was meaningful, but as soon as he heard the movement behind the house, he immediately changed to an angry look.

Mrs. Cheng of Pingnanbo came back from the clean room and immediately noticed the strangeness of her younger siblings: "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”

"Big sister! Something is wrong! Cheng Wang's face was full of shock and indignation, "I don't even know what to tell you." Brother-in-law he ...... What a wrongful death! ”
