The three of them quickly glanced at each other, and then very tacitly hid in an abandoned house near the back garden.

Holding his breath, Fang Qing whispered, "Who else will come here?" ”

"Shhh After a few breaths, the other party seemed to have walked to this back garden.

One of them spoke slowly: "Lord Fang, I haven't come to see you for two or three months, I won't blame me, right?" "I?

Hearing this, Fang Shengshou's uncle and nephew's eyes widened, and they were speechless in surprise.

"Liu Ji?" Fang Qing said these two words with his mouth, but he didn't make any sound. Li Feibai waved his hand and motioned for him not to make a sound.

"Your Majesty, you are busy with state affairs, Lord Fang is in the spirit of heaven, and you will definitely be able to understand." The man beside Liu Ji spoke.

Hearing this voice, Fang Qing once again said three words with his mouth.

"Xiao Wuji!" Nodding, Li Feibai thought to himself that it should be Xiao Wuji who escorted Liu Ji to come here to pay respects.

"Among the courtiers, few people know that you and I, named Junchen, are actually teachers and students. Once there is a drastic change, yin and yang are separated, I wonder if you are good over there? After a pause, Liu Ji seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, plucked up the courage and said, "Also, Wan'er......"

"Your Majesty is cautious!" Hearing this, Xiao Wuji reminded him.

"Caution?" Liu Ji turned around, his face full of anger: "At that time, I was the prince, and it was just that I couldn't marry the woman I loved, but now I am the king of a country, why, can't I even mention the name of my favorite daughter?" Seeing Liu Jilong's anger, Xiao Wuji was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, that's not what Weichen meant. It's just that the Queen Mother's Christmas is approaching, and the envoys who defend the country and wish the country are coming, if they accidentally listen to these words, it will inevitably be another verbal criticism. Xiao Wuji explained.

"Verbal criticism?" Liu Ji sneered: "Hmph, why am I afraid? In his words, there was an imperial atmosphere.

"Your Majesty is naturally not afraid, but if it has an impact on Da Jiang's reputation......" Speaking of this, Xiao Wuji stopped talking.

He knew that Liu Ji must understand what he meant. After a moment, Liu Ji let out a sigh of relief. Then, he helped Xiao Wuji up with his own hands.

"I know that you have always been loyal, and you think about my big ginger everywhere, get up."

"Your Majesty." Xiao Wuji stood up: "I didn't deliberately upset Your Majesty, I just felt that the great cause of reunification was not completed, and our court, civil and military officials, could not relax at all." ”

"Hmm." Liu Ji closed his eyes, nodded and replied, "You're right!" ”

"Your Majesty, I believe in Lord Fang and ...... and his family, who hope that His Majesty will focus on the great cause of reunification. The implication is that Xiao Wuji hopes that Liu Ji will not be too shackled by personal emotions.

As the Son of Heaven, he should not have his own private affairs. Hearing his words, Liu Ji was noncommittal and did not answer.

Instead, he said to himself: "Lord Fang, don't worry, the thieves who framed you, I will definitely divide their five horses into corpses to comfort you." ”

"Your Majesty, burn incense and paper." At that moment, the two of them simply worshipped, and under Xiao Wuji's repeated urging, Liu Ji finally left the Fang family.

In the abandoned house, Fang Shengshou and Fang Qing looked puzzled. They looked at Li Feibai at the same time, and they had too many questions in their hearts.

"Childe, this ...... What the hell is going on? Fang Qing finally couldn't help it and asked. Touching his chin and smiling bitterly, Li Feibai replied: "Now that the matter is over, it is time to tell you what happened." The two of them held their breath and listened quietly.

"In fact, when I buried the people of the Fang family here, although I planned it, Liu Ji, the crown prince who was the prince at that time, was also secretly helping me. It can be said that without him, this would not have been possible. ”

"But why did he do that?" Originally, Fang Qing's uncle and nephew did not have a good impression of the people of the Jiang royal family, especially the Son of Heaven.

The two of them always believed that the reason why the Fang family was punished by the Nine Clans was needless to say that the culprit Feng Delong was not to mention, but the royal family was also responsible.

If Liu Xiong had ordered a strict investigation, it might not have caused a tragedy. Moreover, they thought that the Zhujiu Clan was too serious, even if Fang Xiu was far away from the enemy, it should not be like this.

Now that I learned that it was Liu Xiong's son Liu Ji, who helped Li Feibai collect the corpses for everyone in the Fang family, it is self-evident that his feelings are complicated.

"The Fang family has a daughter, her name is Fang Wan, do you know?" Li Feibai asked instead. Fang Qing is a sideline, and he is a junior, and he rarely has contact with Fang Fu, so he naturally doesn't know.

But Fang Shengshou knew.

"Fang Wan is the pearl of the palm of the clan brother Fang Xiuyuan, smart and beautiful, proficient in calligraphy and painting, I have met a few times."

Liu Ji ...... In fact, he and Fang Wan are in love. ”

"What?" Fang Shengshou was a little surprised.

"Why did I never hear my clan brother mention this matter when I arrived at the Fang Mansion?"

"Liu Ji, who was the crown prince at that time, had been appointed by Liu Xiong as a crown princess, and in order to protect Fang Wan's family, this matter naturally could not be made public. The private secret meeting between the two was in the Fang Mansion. Fang Xiu's vision is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is helpless, and he only hopes that one day Liu Ji will ascend the throne and be able to give Wan'er a concubine. Hearing this, Fang Qing couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I didn't expect the Fang family to have this past. ”

"Since he has such a relationship with Wan'er, why didn't Liu Ji come forward to help when the Fang family's case happened?" Fang Shengshou asked.

Coincidentally, during that time, Liu Ji happened to tour the south on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and when he heard this, he rushed back to Changfeng regardless of the danger of the abolition of the position of the East Palace. But it was too late, the Fang family was full of doors and had been beheaded. In addition to being sad, I found Liu Ji, and with the help of many parties, I rescued the two of you, and then buried all the bodies in Fangfu. ”

"So, Liu Ji is still my uncle's lifesaver?" Fang Qing laughed to himself. After a pause, Li Feibai nodded: "So to speak." The uncle's and nephew's faces were heavy, and their hearts were mixed.

The enemy he had always identified suddenly became a benefactor. The two of them were really hard to accept. Li Feibai continued: "Liu Ji secretly comes and goes to the Fang Mansion all the year round, in addition to secretly meeting Fang Wan, Fang Xiuyuan will also teach him some statecraft from time to time. Although Liu Ji has an East Palace Taifu, in fact, Fang Xiuyuan is also his teacher. From his heart, he never doubted that Fang Xiuyuan would collaborate with the enemy. There was silence in the room for a quarter of an hour.

Fang Shengshou spoke again: "Childe, these things, in fact, you can tell us earlier. ”

"Actually, I plan to do the same, after all, you have the right to know the truth. But the situation at that time, you also know, I was a secret spy, in the middle of the Jiang Dynasty, this matter was top secret, when Liu Xiong was angry, if I told you, under impulse, it was difficult to guarantee that this matter would not be leaked. I, Liu Ji, and the two of you will die without a place to be buried. Understanding Li Feibai's difficulty, Fang Shengshou calmed down and took a deep look.

"It's hard to be a son."
