Chapter 396: Entering Goguryeo, Xu Changjin's help
Fang Yuan's sleepiness suddenly disappeared.
He had been worried about the situation on Qin Huaiyu's side.
Because he brought too few people with him, it was very dangerous.
I never thought that there was really an accident, and I don't know if I was alive or dead.
It didn't take long for Fang Yuan to receive a message from the palace and enter the palace overnight.
When Fang Yuan arrived, Qin Qiong, Fang Xuanling and the others all arrived.
"Qin Huaiyu has lost contact, the Goguryeo plan may fail, what are your plans?"
Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
Although Qin Huaiyu is a junior, he works for the imperial court.
If something happened to him, the court couldn't ignore it, and he had to give Qin Qiong an explanation.
"The minister suggested that someone should be sent to investigate immediately!"
Fang Xuanling said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, the old minister is willing to go!"
Li Jing was also here, and immediately said.
"Your Majesty, let's let the old minister go."
Qin Qiong also said.
Qin Huaiyu is his son, and he is more worried than anyone else.
"Does anyone else want to go?"
Li Shimin did not answer the two, but looked at the scene.
Whether it is Li Jing or Qin Qiong, neither of them is suitable for taking people there in person.
One is that Li Jing's legs are not good all year round, and Goguryeo is close to the sea, so his legs will be more serious when he goes there.
Moreover, Li Jing is the god of the Tang Dynasty, and if he wants Li Jing to deal with a small country, it is overkill.
As for Qin Qiong, it is because he is Qin Huaiyu's father, the front line doesn't know what Qin Huaiyu is doing, and Qin Qiong is easy to be emotional if he goes.
"I'll go."
"The plan is my proposal, and it should be up to me."
Fang Yuan stood up and said with a sigh.
Li Shimin wanted him to go before.
But because Du Miaoyan is about to give birth, and now that Su Ziqing has given birth, presumably Li Shimin asked this because he thought he could go.
"Just Fang Yuan, he also has a connection with the third prince of Goguryeo."
Li Shimin bowed.
This is exactly what he wants.
Since Fang Yuan can take the initiative to stand up, then there is no need for him to say more.
Li Jing, Qin Qiong and the others looked at Fang Yuan, but they didn't object.
"I'm going to be ready for two days, and I'll leave in two days."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
Think of it as a tour.
I heard that there are many beautiful women in Goguryeo.
"Okay, I'll do it for you!"
Li Shimin bowed.
Others also expressed no opinion.
And just like that, the seemingly tense meeting ended quickly.
After the meeting ended, Qin Qiong caught up with the source.
"Fang Shangshu, please save the dog!"
Qin Qiong pleaded.
He didn't know what Qin Huaiyu was going through now.
But I believe that Qin Huaiyu should be fine, and he is lurking somewhere.
So I hope that Fang Yuan can find Qin Huaiyu and bring Qin Huaiyu back.
"Please rest assured, General!"
Fang Yuan didn't have much reassurance, so he could only nod heavily.
He also couldn't give too many guarantees, and he didn't know what happened in Goguryeo.
At this time, all the guarantees are empty, and only by going there in person can we know what happened and what happened to Qin Huaiyu.
"Thank you!"
Qin Qiong nodded heavily.
Fang Yuan then returned to Fang Mansion.
I didn't say much to anyone, and Meimei slept for a while.
It wasn't until the next day that Fang Yuan explained to Du Miaoyan and the others.
As soon as they heard that Fang Yuan was going to Goguryeo, Du Miaoyan and the others were worried.
And they are very reluctant to go so far.
Especially Su Ziqing, who has just given birth and is leaving.
"I don't want to either, but the emperor obviously wants me to go."
"And I have other things to do, and I must go on this trip."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
The Goguryeo Project was one of them.
Most importantly, Fang Yuan has his own method.
He can't say this idea to anyone, otherwise he will be killed.
"Okay, then you stay safe!"
"Bring Xue Bowu, Xue Rengui and Mo Cailing with you."
Seeing that Fang Yuan was like this, Du Miaoyan didn't say anything else, only hoping that Fang Yuan would bring more masters.
"Just take Xue Bowu and Xue Rengui with you, and Mo Cailing will stay at home with you."
Fang Yuan shook his head and said.
This time I went to Goguryeo to have the idea of hunting for beauty, how could I let Mo Cailing go too.
"Okay, I'll prepare your luggage."
Du Miaoyan didn't force it.
It is enough to have Xue Bowu and Xue Rengui.
Moreover, Fang Yuan must have gone with the Fire Gun Army this time.
There is a fire gun army, as long as you are careful, no master can get close to Fang Yuan.
Subsequently, for two days, Fang Yuan accompanied Su Ziqing's mother and son as much as possible before leaving.
The departure was by boat.
It is much faster to take the water route than on land.
"Fang Yuan, I heard that there are a lot of beauties in Goguryeo, right?"
Xue Rengui stood next to Fang Yuan, looking at the sea in front of him.
The sea is vast and calm, but there is no end to it.
"You have to ask Xu Changjin about this."
Fang Yuan faced the sea and said indifferently.
The sea is endless, but there are many countries on the other side of the sea.
With the current comprehensive strength of Datang, it is completely possible to develop the sea area and colonize other countries.
At this time, plundering the resources of other countries to develop itself, Datang is definitely more powerful than ever.
But thinking of Li Shimin's punishment of Li Chengqian and Li Tai, Fang Yuan was a little disheartened.
He is just a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, there is no need to think so deeply.
But if .
So Fang Yuan led the team to Goguryeo this time.
A few days passed, and Fang Yuan's fleet stayed in the Dengzhou area.
Fang Yuan's arrival in the local Dengzhou assassin history is naturally unknown, but it doesn't matter, there is Li Shimin's holy decree.
Moreover, as Fang Yuan, he also walked sideways in the Dengzhou area, after all, he also brought three hundred fire guns.
It didn't take long for Fang Yuan to contact Dengzhou Assassin Shi and explain his identity.
"Xiaguan Dengzhou stabbed Shi Qi Hongyu, meet Fang Shangshu!"
Qi Hongyu is a sturdy middle-aged man.
It has a lot of prestige in Dengju, after all, it has to fight against the interference of Goguryeo and Dongying from time to time.
If he doesn't have some ability and prestige, he can't sit in Dengzhou at all, and the court won't let him sit.
"You're welcome."
"Is there any news of Qin Huaiyu?"
Fang Yuan was not too polite and said bluntly.
After the implementation of the Goguryeo plan, Dengju fully cooperated.
Dengzhou Assassin Shi Qi Hongyu is one of the people who docked with Qin Huaiyu, and he may know the news of Qin Huaiyu.
"Since the last time I received information ten days ago, there has been no news of General Qin."
Qi Hongyu shook his head and sighed.
Ten days ago, Qin Huaiyu's last message was a request for help.
He truthfully reported this information back to the imperial court, and it was not until now that Fang Yuan arrived.
"Just prepare a place for the official to live."
Fang Yuan didn't ask again.
After a few days of hard work, the guys took a half-day break and started planning.
Naturally, during this time, Qi Hongyu still had to inquire about Qin Huaiyu's whereabouts.
But it's a pity that Qin Huaiyu is in Goguryeo, and the Tang Dynasty doesn't have much power to investigate, and there has been no news of Qin Huaiyu.
After a day's rest, Fang Yuan immediately entered Goguryeo with the Fire Gun Army and others.
As soon as he entered Goguryeo, Fang Yuan found that the investigation of entering the city here was very strict, preventing the Tang people from entering.
Even if it was an ordinary Tang fishing people, as long as they found it, they were all driven away and not allowed to enter.
Seeing this scene, Fang Yuan frowned and looked at Xu Changjin, who had arrived with him.
"Master wait for me for an hour, I'll go back as soon as I go, and bring you identification!"
Xu Changjin said.
After saying goodbye to Fang Yuan, he left.
"Fang Yuan, will she never come back?"
Xue Rengui looked at the direction Xu Changjin left and said worriedly.
"Don't worry, it will only end misery for her to flee back."
Fang Yuan shook his head and said.
Although Qin Huaiyu lost contact, the third prince also lost contact.
However, nominally, Xu Changjin was the one that the king of Goguryeo was willing to leave to Fang Yuan.
If Xu Changjin returns to China without the permission of Datang and is known, he will definitely not end well.
With Xu Changjin's intelligence, I believe she won't be so stupid.
In the eyes of Fang Yuan and others, Xu Changjin passed the city gate inspection and officially entered the territory of Goguryeo.
Goguryeo's port inspection was not very strict, and it did not affect the business transactions between the two countries, but it was strict when entering the city.
Time passed minute by minute, and Fang Yuan waited for Xu Changjin to appear again.
Xu Changjin did not disappoint Fang Yuan and the others, and before an hour had passed, Xu Changjin came back again.
She brought back a warrant that allowed Fang Yuan and the others to pass without inspection.
"How did you get that?"
Fang Yuan looked at Xu Changjin in surprise.
He thought that Xu Changjin would come back with a few identity tokens.
But I didn't expect it to be such a powerful thing that could bring everyone in.
"My father's former favor was used by me."
Xu Changjin just explained simply.
Fang Yuan bowed his head and did not ask in detail.
With Xu Changjin's warrant, Fang Yuan made new adjustments.
Carrying the fire gun in the form of a caravan, he swaggered into the city of Goguryeo.
Because of the warrant, the Goguryeo soldiers who defended the city not only did not check the identity of the people, but also did not even check the goods.
In this way, Fang Yuan and three hundred others entered the territory of Goguryeo and headed all the way to Pyongyang, the royal city of Goguryeo.
Goguryeo is not big, the inspection is only strict at the border, Fang Yuan and the others almost walked all the way, and entered Pyongyang City in a few days.
Along the way, Fang Yuan intentionally or unintentionally inquired about Qin Huaiyu's situation in Goguryeo, but unfortunately, there was no news of Qin Huaiyu.
It wasn't until he entered Pyongyang City that Fang Yuan found a clue.
At the same time, I also understood why the three princes of Goguryeo also disappeared.
It turned out that the third prince of Goguryeo wanted a coup d'état and was imprisoned in a prison cell.
Although Qin Huaiyu still has no news, it is very likely that he was imprisoned because of this.
"Do you have anything to do with Pyongyang City?"
"I need to know if Qin Huaiyu is also imprisoned!"
Fang Yuan looked at Xu Changjin and said.
"It's a bit related, but the hand definitely can't be stretched that long, and you can't find out what's going on in prison."
"But if I have the money, I can give it a try."
Xu Changjin shook his head and said.
She was able to use the relationship when she was in the border city, and that was because the defender of the city happened to be his father who had helped each other before.
However, her father had died a long time ago, and she didn't have much to do with Pyongyang City, otherwise she wouldn't have been sold to Fang Yuan by the third prince Gao Tianzhi.
"There are two gold bars here, you go and try them, it's not enough to ask for me."
Fang Yuan took out the gold bar without saying a word.
This time, Fang Yuan came over for convenience, and brought gold bars.
Because gold bars are valuable, you don't have to worry about using them when you go to any country, and you don't have to bring too much to affect your travel.
"Enough should be enough!"
"Wait for my good news!"
Xu Changjin immediately left with two gold bars.
Fang Yuan and the others were scattered in the city of Pyongyang, each looking for a place to live.
It didn't get too crowded and didn't get noticed.
In order not to be obtrusive, Fang Yuan had people buy five large houses in Pyongyang City.
At night, Xu Changjin came back with a tired face.
"I inquired, Qin Huaiyu was indeed imprisoned."
Xu Changjin brought back good news.
But it was also news that gave Fang Yuan a headache.
I'm locked up, how can this be saved?
"There's a gold bar left, here you go."
Xu Changjin only used a gold bar to inquire about the news.
Actually, there shouldn't be a need for a gold bar, but who asked Fang Yuan to just give her a gold bar.
I don't know how much money the other party wants, so I can only give the other party a gold bar directly.
Who knew that the other party's eyes lit up when he saw the gold bars, and he regarded himself as an aunt and grandmother.
"You can keep it."
Fang Yuan did not take back the gold bars, which was regarded as a hardship fee for Xu Changjin.
He was wondering if there was any way to save Qin Huaiyu.
"Give it to me?!"
Xu Changjin's eyes lit up suddenly.
At this moment, she finally understood how important gold bars were.
She also understood why the man was so excited when he saw the gold bar.
"You go to rest first, I want to think about how to save Qin Huaiyu."
Fang Yuan didn't say much to Xu Changjin, and waved his hand to let her leave.
Xu Changjin was so excited that the fatigue of his whole body disappeared, and he was about to leave happily.
However, as soon as he took two steps, he looked back at Fang Yuan, who was frowning.
"If you have ten gold bars, you may be able to try to buy the officials to let Qin Huaiyu go."
Xu Changjin said suddenly.
Look at the look on the man's face today, or you can try.
After all, he used to be a palace doctor and knew some high-ranking officials.
Although the relationship with them is not good, if you have money to open the way, it may be different.
"Money is not a problem, you can do as much as you want!"
Fang Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up and he said excitedly.
As long as it can be solved with money, it is not a problem.
The ancients said that money can make ghosts grind, but he forgot about this.
"Then I'll try, but I'm not sure."
"If you can, I want you to go with me, I'm afraid."
Xu Changjin nodded, and then said with a sneer.
She knew those high-ranking officials, but she didn't have much to do with them.
If you go to see them like this, it is very likely that there will be no return.
Faced with this situation, Xu Changjin only hoped that Fang Yuan could go with her.
"You'll find a way to see if you can ask him out."
Fang Yuan thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.
If money can't be solved, then by force.
But if it is in the other party's home, I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve the goal by force.
"Okay, but don't get your hopes up too much."
Xu Changjin nodded.
As he spoke, he prepared to leave.
"Let's eat something and rest for a while before we go."
Fang Yuan noticed the tiredness on Xu Changjin's face and said with concern.
It's just getting dark, and although Goguryeo is also curfew, it's easy to attract attention.
"Okay."
Xu Changjin thought that Fang Yuan cared about her, smiled sweetly, and then went to eat and take a bath.
After resting until midnight, Xu Changjin left with Xue Bowu.
Fang Yuan was worried that it would not be safe at night, so he asked Xue Bowu to protect her.
About an hour later, Xu Changjin came back safely. (End of chapter)
