Fang Hui's face was pale, the wind passed through the hall, and the candles in the room were bright and dark, making Fang Hui's face even more uncertain.

On the bed in front of him, Fang Changyue, who was one-armed, lay down. It has been more than ten days since the dying Fang Changyue fell at the gate of Dongliu City with his last breath. Fang Changyue's broken arm was bleeding profusely, and he was not treated in time, and the wound was already ulcerating. These days, he woke up from a dream, and the high fever did not go away, Fang Hui couldn't ask much useful content, but he was still sure of one thing: the one who did it to him was Yunzhou.

The maid was changing Fang Changyue's dressing, and Fang Hui sat in front of a wooden table without saying a word. Fang Changjing stayed behind his father and said softly, "Father, it's late at night, let's rest early." On the second brother's side, I'm staring. ”

Fang Hui didn't look up, and suddenly said: "Recently, someone has found something strange in the south of Dongliu City for more than ten miles. ”

Fang Changjing's heart jumped, his smile was a little stiff, and he asked, "What's the matter?"

"There are dozens of corpses lying in the forest, most of them are the clothes of my soldiers in Dongliu City, and a few people, presumably the subordinates brought out by Changyue from Benhai City. ”

"It must have been the team that picked up the second brother, but it was completely destroyed by an ambush in Yunzhou on the way. Thanks to the second brother Fu's great life, he was able to pick up a life. ”

"But inside that group of corpses, there is still a familiar face. Fang Hui said meaningfully.

Fang Changjing's face suddenly became ugly, and he quickly thought about countermeasures in his heart, not knowing how to respond. Fang Hui continued: "Kang Yundao, General Kang, do you recognize it?"

Fang Changjing squeezed out a reluctant smile and said, "Yes...... General Kang is a capable general under my father, and he has also lurked in Benhai City for several years, so I naturally recognize him. ”

"Hmph!" Fang Hui sneered: "I see how you recognize it! I don't know when Ben Hou's right-hand man will come back." If it weren't for the discovery of his body this time, Ben Hou would have thought that he would stay in Yunzhou and would not want to leave!" As he spoke, Fang Hui slowly stood up and looked at Fang Changjing.

"He's your guy, right?" Fang Hui's gaze was compelling.

"Yes...... However, after all, General Kang has a special identity, with the background of Dongliu City, Benhai City and Yunzhou, I thought that maybe he would be more useful in the future, so I didn't tell my father about his return, and asked my father to punish him!" Fang Changjing took a deep soak.

Fang Hui then sneered: "What's more useful? is it waiting for the opportunity to assassinate your own brother!"

Fang Changjing fell to his knees and hurriedly said: "Father misunderstood! I thought that General Kang had been lurking in Benhai City for a few days and was familiar with that side, so I specially sent General Kang to lead people to pick up the second brother! Not to mention that the second brother was also injured by Yunzhou, and it has nothing to do with me!"

"Ben Hou doesn't want to listen to your quibbles, you know best how to do it. Ben Hou warns you, if you commit another offense, don't blame me for the poison of the tiger! These days, your second brother has been handed over to you to take care of, if he has any problems, Ben Hou will be the first to look for you!" Fang Hui said angrily.

"Yes!" Fang Changjing replied very decisively, for fear that a moment's hesitation would add to his father's anger.

After Fang Hui became angry, his mood calmed down slightly, and after taking a sip of tea, he exited the room. Fang Changjing hurriedly followed. Standing a foot or two away from the door, Fang Hui asked, "Xiao Mu, those guys, are they still the same?"

"Exactly. However, this morning's news, Feng Jianbei of the Northern Territory led the main force of the Northern Territory, and settled in Cloud City yesterday. Fang Changjing hurriedly replied respectfully.

"Feng Jianbei, this old guy has to pay attention, it seems that he changed the tide of the battle in Yunzhou that day. With Xiao Yizhan in our hands, Xiao Mu doesn't dare to jump, and Feng Jianbei may not have so many scruples. ”

"Yes. ”

Fang Hui pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Have you found any people searching Yunzhou nearby?"

"Not yet, we have searched inside and outside Dongliu City and near where the body was found, but nothing has been found. However, Cheongju has dense towns and few wilderness, and there are not many places where a group of centaurs can hide, so it must not take many days to find it. ”

"Hmm. Is there any change in the direction of Shajiang City?"

"After all, Shajiang City is far away from Qingzhou, and the news transmission is quite inconvenient, but it is said that Suo Pingzhang, who participated in King Qin, will return to Shajiang City these days, and Heiyan City, which has been fighting against Shajiang City, has also reached the point of exhaustion, and it will be broken in a few days, and the land of Lizhou will fall into the hands of Di Yuan. ”

Fang Hui snorted and said, "In this way, the Qing and Li prefectures, which were originally ruled by Longyuan in two, will also be reunified. At that time, the positions of these two states were critical, and it was difficult to control them when they were handed over to a prince. Ye Xiaoyuan understands the checks and balances between the princes very well. ”

Fang Changjing said with a smile: "Now my father holds the foreign trade income of the entire Longyuan Dynasty and the East China Sea, although the time is still short, but in terms of financial resources, I am afraid that no one among the princes can beat him." ”

Fang Hui frowned and said, "But Di Yuan also controls the entire Lizhou. This person dares to risk the world's condemnation and form an alliance with the Western Wilderness Clan, but it makes me jealous. The union of Yunzhou and Shajiang City, Yunzhou is just a remnant of soldiers, and the only pillar Wei Zhuoxi is still far away in the East China Sea, so there is nothing to worry about for the time being. It's just that this sand city ......."

"Is my father worried about Shajiang City, or the Western Wilderness Clan?"

Fang Hui sighed and said, "After all, the Western Desolate Clan is far away, even if they invade the Central Plains, it is just a matter of burning, killing and looting, the key is the product of the cooperation between the Western Desolate Clan and Shajiang City...... Those monsters are what I'm most worried about. ”

"Father, although the Desert Wolf Battalion is famous, but after all, it is only a battle to become famous, after so many word of mouth, I am afraid that the strength of the Desert Wolf Battalion has been exaggerated a lot, even if the Desert Wolf Battalion fights in the world and hits the main force of Black Rock City hard, but I expect that no matter how strong they are, they will not be stronger than the Yunhai Iron Cavalry, right?

Fang Changjing's relief did not work, Fang Hui still had a sad look on his face, but he sighed softly and did not object to Fang Changjing's words.

The door was gently pushed open, and the maid walked out lightly with the tray, and saluted Fang Hui and Fang Changjing: "Master Hou, eldest prince, the medicine has been changed." ”

Fang Hui nodded and said, "You go down." ”

The maid saluted and took her leave. Fang Hui walked away, and Fang Changjing hurriedly followed. Fang Hui frowned and turned around and asked, "What are you doing?"

Fang Changjing was stunned in place, and subconsciously replied: "What is my father going to do, I will naturally help my father." ”

"You stay to take care of Changyue, I said it, what happened to him, Ben Hou asked you. ”

After speaking, without waiting for Fang Changjing to answer, Fang Hui left Fang Changjing in place and walked away alone. At this time, the night was already late, and Fang Hui had never brought guards and servants, so there were only a few people in the Hou Mansion who came in and out, and there was silence, and only his own footsteps could be heard.

Fang Hui thought about his next plan, and the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded on the quiet road. He raised his head, but it was Zhuang Qi who caught his eye. Fang Hui was a little puzzled, Zhuang Qi, as his number one strategist, was left by him in Benhai City to preside over the overall situation, and he didn't know why he came back late at night. Fang Hui suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"Master Hou, something happened!"

Fang Hui raised his eyebrows and shouted in a deep voice: "If you have something to say, say it quickly!"

"Today, in Liyun Harbor, Benhai City, there is a merchant ship from the Luoheng Domain of the East China Sea. Our people were supposed to go through the formalities according to the rules, but suddenly a team of people suddenly killed and intercepted the merchant ship directly in Liyun Port. ”

"Intercepting merchant ships is to rob property?" Fang Hui frowned.

Zhuang Qi panted and said: "Today, the guards of Liyungang said that the people who came were wearing all kinds of clothes and couldn't tell the calendar, but after they intercepted the merchant ship, they just hugged and picked up the next person from the ship, and the property was not touched at all, and then they left directly. ”

Fang Hui's eyes widened, and he asked eagerly, "Could it be that Wei Zhuoxi is back?"

Seeing that Zhuang Qi shook his head, Fang Hui secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Zhuang Qi continued: "However, it is said that the person they greeted was high-definition and thin, and he looked like a sick scholar. ”

Fang Hui suddenly thought of something, gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice: "Bai Xishang ......"

Zhuang Qi nodded heavily and said, "Yes, I also thought so, so I hurried to inform Master Hou." However, our people said that only one person was snatched away, and there was no trace of Wei Zhuoxi. ”

"Bai Xishang is back to explore the way. Wei Zhuoxi should be coming back......" Fang Hui looked up at the sky and muttered, "He can keep in touch with the mainland and arrange for people to snatch Bai Xishang at the right time, thinking about what happened in Longyuan these days, he also knows a lot." It's a tough situation to deal with......"

"Master Hou," Zhuang Qi said hesitantly, "Then what we handed over to Wei Zhuoxi that day, is he already ......?"

Fang Hui's eyes showed a fierce gleam, and said: "There is no way to know yet, but since he has returned, he can't let him leave Qingzhou alive! Step up the search for Bai Xishang's gang, and all the ports in Qingzhou, take shifts, and come to inform me as soon as there is news about Wei Zhuoxi!" Zhuang Qi agreed repeatedly.

"I want to see what good things he brought back from the East China Sea!"
