Chapter 37, Iniquity
“…… Li Xuantong first convened the Changshan Eighteen Zhai Alliance, at which he subdued all the mountain bandit leaders, subdued the eighteen village bandits, and cut off the grain route of the county's reserve army under unified scheduling...... He personally led the master to attack at night and burned the grain and grass of the reserve army...... When people were panicking, Li Xuantong attacked in one fell swoop......"
"The reserve army was defeated...... Now, the thieves are huge and have approached the county seat! The third lady said in detail, with a wisp of sorrow between her eyebrows.
"This is really a big thing!" Fang Rui took a deep breath.
He would not doubt the accuracy of this matter - it is impossible for the third lady to lie to him, and it is meaningless, this kind of news cannot be covered, presumably, it will not be long before it spreads.
Fang Rui quickly thought about the chain reaction brought about by this incident: "First, the first wave of thieves and soldiers were defeated, and this time the reserve army was broken, and there are probably not many troops in Changshan County. ’
'Continue conscription? The county has a bit of brains, so it's unlikely that he would do such a thing...... It's too late to train, a rabble, and you have to worry about the spies who will get in......
"The best way is to ask a big family to go out, with the help of the city wall, you can also try, but it is also difficult......
'In short, Changshan County is in danger! ’
Fang Rui's eyes flashed: "Why don't you take your mother and sister out of the city and go to the countryside?" But the food is not easy to carry...... Moreover, in case of running into a rebel army, that is the danger! ’
On the contrary, there is still the most basic order in the city, and with my six-rank strength, as long as I don't jump too much, I will get involved in some big trouble, and it will be more than enough for self-preservation. ’
'Even, even if the city is broken, I am not afraid of ...... during the most chaotic time'
In troubled times, force is the most important, it is good for Fang Rui not to bully others, and it is impossible to be bullied.
He thought about these quickly, and his heart settled down, and at this time, he looked at the third lady and found that the other party's mind did not belong.
"Also, the reserve army is almost completely wiped out, and most of the army leaders have also had an accident, without a backer, the situation of the third sister is precarious...... Fang Rui said secretly in his heart.
"Brother Rui, I want to talk to you!" The third lady looked at Fang Rui and suddenly spoke.
"Good!"
If it was before, Fang Rui might have hesitated, but now, after breaking through the sixth grade, he didn't care.
Originally, he took Fang Xue's and Fang Ling's family, and it didn't hurt to bring two more people, but ......
"I have something I need to make clear first......"
The two spoke in unison.
"Let's think about it. Brother Rui, let me talk about it first! 'With you', these two words, Brother Rui, your intelligence, naturally understand what it means......"
Two red flowers appeared on the third lady's face, and they were red until the heel of her neck: "However, before that, I have to tell you something......
She's not a girl anymore, she can't be crazy about love, she doesn't care about anything, there are some things, before something happens, she must be made clear, so as not to regret it in the future.
"I've had a man, daddy, you know......"
Hearing this, Fang Rui's eyes flashed, and he stopped talking.
"Brother Rui, you want to talk about that military leader, right? It's a long story. ”
The third lady said in detail: "The head of the army is a distant relative of his father...... Of course, this person helped me, and he didn't have good intentions...... It's just that I didn't let him succeed ......"
"The military leader was a little afraid of guilt, at the beginning, I used the relationship between the other party's daughter-in-law to make a false and wrongful snake...... Later, through the platform of the military leader, I made many family members of other military leaders, and cooperated in some industries, which can be regarded as prosperous under my management......"
"The liquor shop you know is actually only the most visible one...... Because of the interests of many parties, as well as the biggest share of the military leader, the other party did not dare to force it too much. ”
"The source of this news is exactly this: the other army leader who fled back after the defeat of the army, according to his people, the reserve army was defeated, and the head of the army also perished in the battle formation...... However, the county has now ordered the news to be blocked......"
"I see." Fang Rui bowed.
Don't look at the three ladies to say it easily, in fact, it is really not easy to do it like the three ladies, and the intrigue involved is incalculable.
The three ladies can be in such a situation, left and right, save their bodies, and they can really be called a sentence: strange women.
It's no wonder that the head of the army is dead, and the third sister is not sad at all. ’
Also, the third sister's talent for business...... In her previous life, she was probably a female president of a large listed company. ’
Fang Rui subconsciously thought that the third lady's body was as full and concave as a peach, and she changed into a hip skirt and black silk ...... Tsk, hard, hard!
As for what the three ladies are?
He didn't mind anything - after all, he had been mentally prepared, and he had all the food, so it couldn't be a bloody pick-up.
It can be said that the third lady has nothing to do with the military leader, it is already an unexpected joy, much better than expected.
"I run those industries, and I can also get some light, my family has been okay all these years, and it is all ...... for this"
The third lady continued: "The month before last, the reserve army in the county went out of the city to suppress the thieves, and most of those military leaders left, but the relationship network linked by industry is still there, and it can still shelter me and Nannan...... That's why my family is so stable these days......"
"It's just that it's time in the city...... Brother Rui, you know ...... too."
She smiled bitterly: "All industries are withering, those industries have been sold one after another, and the relationship network I operate has gradually been shattered......
"yes!"
Fang Rui sighed: "The general trend is like this, but you can't blame the third sister." ”
Just look at his 'Caozhitang', see a leaf and know autumn, you can imagine the general environment in the city today.
"Let's talk about me and you!"
The third lady's expression suddenly became serious, staring at Fang Rui's eyes: "Brother Rui, although I am not a yellow flower girl, I also know how to be chaste." If I follow you, I will defend you......"
"No matter what happens in the future, you will be my last man, if something happens to you, I ...... I won't survive! There was a sonorous sound in her voice.
"As for ...... You don't have to give it or anything, and I won't ask for it. ”
"In this way, I have also made some preparations: I have prepared two other small courtyards in the city, as well as a carriage, and a few hundred catties of grain storage......"
"Finally, I have some business talent that may be able to help you."
"These are all I can give you, all my ......"
The third lady's voice paused, and she continued: "Brother Rui, if I follow you, I hope that you can shelter me and Nannan, no matter what, whether you stay in the city or go elsewhere, take us with you...... Of course, if there is a worst-case scenario, since your family is the priority, you can abandon me first, and then ......."
"That's all I have to say...... Brother Rui, if you are willing to be my big tree, I am willing to be the dodder that wraps around it! ”
The third lady obviously thought about it for a long time, and she had already had a draft, and when she finished speaking in one breath, her face turned a little red, and she looked at Fang Rui nervously, looking very cute.
"Third sister!" Fang Rui sighed.
The beauty is gracious, teach him how to be good?
Let's ask: How can such a beautiful and sensible woman not be moved, if she doesn't want a name, give away an industry, contribute wisdom, and follow you like a jade, all she asks for is shelter?
In fact, what he wanted to say before was within these.
"Third sister, you're done, then I'll talk about it!"
Fang Rui's gaze did not dodge, he looked at the third lady, and said in a deep voice: "Third sister, I promise: if you follow me, no matter what, I will not give up you and Nan Nan for the sake of interests...... Treat you as you would a mother and sister...... Do what I can to shelter you! ”
"Fifty in heaven, forty-nine in people. If...... I mean, what if...... If there is really an irresistible situation, please forgive the third sister, I will do as you said......"
"Of course, I'll do my best not to let that happen."
"In addition, words are better than deeds, the third sister will see how I do it."
Fang Rui seems to be able to curry favor with 'Tiger Master' and 'Lin Gongzi', and his figure is extremely low, but in fact, he is also a proud person in his bones.
"Third sister, please believe in your choice today: when a big tree rises to the sky and wraps around its body, it will also come to a high place and see the scenery in the distance."
The third lady is a very smart person, since she has a heart, she is honest about everything, showing all her back hands, just like a cat revealing its most fragile belly.
He is not a cold-hearted and cold-blooded person, how can he not cherish a woman who is so devoted to him?
After everything is said and done.
Both of them felt that their hearts seemed to be closer to each other.
At this point, Fang Rui would not be hypocritical, and if he wanted to know something, he asked: "Third sister, where are the two courtyards you mentioned?" ”
"And ...... Carriage?! I'm looking for this stuff too, but it's hard to buy. Third sister, when did you prepare? ”
As he spoke, he took two steps forward and took the third lady's hand.
The third lady's body trembled, and the red glow that had just faded on her fair pretty face rose again, becoming hot, and even her voice trembled: "One is in Tianshuijing Hutong in the south of the city, and the other is in Baiyang Hutong in the east of the city...... I haven't been in vain to help those people take care of the industry over the years, those two yards ......"
She didn't finish her words, but Fang Rui understood: Probably, it was intrigue and self-filling!
"As for the carriage, Brother Rui, you know that!"
Maybe it was the previous heart-to-heart, at this moment, the third lady faded away from the shell that used to protect herself, and in her gentleness, her tone was actually a little playful: "That day, when I gave birth......"
"Oh?"
Fang Rui recalled and remembered.
- That day, he asked Sanniangzi what he was doing in the afternoon, and Sanniangzi replied, "Buy something, today is Nannan's birth."
'Buying something' is linked to 'Nannan's birth', Fang Rui naturally thought that he was buying something for Nannan's birthday, but he didn't expect that it was the carriage he bought.
Now it seems that the third lady really didn't tell a lie, 'buy something' is true, and 'Nannan's child' is also true, but he misunderstood...... No, it should be said that it was the three ladies who deliberately misled!
"It's true: the more beautiful a woman is, the more she can deceive!" Fang Rui subconsciously sighed and clenched the hand of the third lady.
"Don't lie to Brother Rui in the future." The third lady looked at Fang Rui with admiration, although her body trembled nervously and she was shy, she still boldly held Fang Rui's hand with her backhand, and crossed her fingers.
Finding Shang Rui is a gamble for her...... On the surface, Fang Rui only has the strength of a martial artist, and in the circle of her business relationship, there are many martial artists with the same quality, and even stronger.
However, she just found Fang Rui.
Not to mention: still so unreserved, hand over all the back hands.
If Fang Rui hadn't really made her tempted, how could the third lady be like this?
Over the years, the people she has dealt with have been full of intrigues, full of calculations and counter-interest calculations, and in that environment, she wears a mask all day long, and there is no one who is sincere...... She was tired for a long time.
And Fang Rui is the only ray of light in these years of suffering...... The third lady couldn't help but think of the young man standing in the sun in the early morning, warm as jade.
"Third sister!" Fang Rui couldn't help but call.
I have to say that this kind of taste of being liked and admired is really good.
Very satisfying machismo psychology, making people proud, and then ...... Want to get up from within......
"Third sister, what is this red thread around your neck?" Fang Rui asked suddenly.
"Huh? Brother Rui, do you want to see it? ”
The third lady pulled it out: "It's a jade pendant!" ”
This is a raindrop-shaped jade pendant, the color is red, like acacia red beans, sinking between the snow, and the other two looming red beans reflect each other.
"It's beautiful!" Fang Rui admired.
"My ancestral ...... Ah! ”
The third lady exclaimed, looking at Fang Rui bowing her head, playing with the jade pendant like a red bean, no, the jade pendant was like a ......
"Brother Rui, lighter!" She snorted and raised her beautiful and slender neck.
"Don't worry, third sister."
Fang Rui naturally wouldn't be in a hurry and neglect the beauty.
……
Window out in the yard.
No one has passed through the narrow path for a long time, but on this day visitors are welcomed, the night is getting darker, the weather is getting cooler, and the sparse weeds on the roadside are hung with a little hoarfrost, condensing into crystal dew......
The more dew accumulates on it.
It wasn't until a quarter of an hour later that suddenly a spirit suddenly fell with a bang.
……
Subsequently.
The night was darker, and more frost was condensing.
This time, after a full stick of incense, the dew accumulated on the weeds gathered into a tide, and fell in a stirring spirit, like a reincarnation.
……
Fang family.
Fang Ling, Nannan, the two girls played together, turned over the flower rope, and peek-a-boo...... It's spirit, and it's a lot of fun.
On the contrary, it was Fang Xue's family, who glanced outside from time to time: It's been so long, Brother Rui and the three girls, why haven't they come back?
She thought about it, explained to the two little girls, and went out.
Sanniangzi's house is only two steps away from Fang's house, and it will be there soon.
Fang Xue wanted to knock on the door, but suddenly heard a faint voice, and couldn't help but move.
She thought for a while, leaned on the door, listened, and instantly turned red, and a thousand words finally turned into a sentence: "Evil!" ”
……
