Chapter 100: Leaving Kyoto
Just when more than half a month had passed since the baptismal ceremony, and An Ruo had gradually become accustomed to interacting with her neighbors, Fang Ce came to inform her that their group was about to go to Mobei.
An Ruo subconsciously asked: "From Kyoto to Mobei, has the defense been removed along the road?" ”
"Most of the troops of the Protector have been recalled, and even if there are still precautions along the road, there will be no overstaffing. Some time ago, I arranged for someone to appear in the Mobei army in the form of you and me, and I think that because of this, the precautions along the road will be more lax. However, there have been many transfers in the DPRK and the Central Committee recently, and I am afraid that Wei Yan will attack Mobei on a large scale in the near future, and if the Mobei Army does not appear for a long time, there is a possibility that Wei Yan will be defeated. ”
Fang Ce's words were too sure, and An Ruo realized that Fang Ce really wanted to take her away, and said in a panic: "But according to what we said to the neighbors, we deliberately gave birth from Suicheng Huijing because the child was unattended. Now that the child is only a month and a half, where can he leave Kyoto at will? I'm afraid that before we leave, someone will realize that something is wrong and arrest us all together. And those soldiers from Mobei, such as Cinnabar, what should they do? ”
Fang Ce stepped forward and grabbed An Ruo and asked, "An Ruo, say a thousand ways and ten thousand, in fact, you don't want to leave, right?" But what can you do if you stay here? Do you really want to return to the palace as Aunt Fu said? There is no place for you in the harem, don't you understand? ”
An Ruo broke free from Fang Ce's shackles and collapsed and shouted, "Why is there no place for me, it's not because you sent Cinnabar to take me captive, that I fell into such a situation. ”
"If there is no cinnabar, will Concubine Ning let you go? Or would you rather die at the hands of Concubine Ning than leave Wei Yan? ”
An Ruo opened his mouth, speechless by Fang Ce's words.
Indeed, if Cinnabar hadn't taken her away, she would have died a long time ago. Sure enough, she was so good at Fang Ce, so she was so hypocritical today.
An Ruo, who came to his senses, immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, I just messed around." I've just been here for a long time, and I don't want to leave, and the peace is really too small, I'm afraid she won't be able to adapt. I am indeed grateful to Cinnabar for saving me, but Cinnabar also fed me poison that day, can you please give me the antidote? ”
Fang Ce frowned and said, "Cinnabar told me that day, what you fed you is just ordinary jelly beans, not poison, I don't believe you look at the state on your panel, if it is poisoned, there will be a prompt." ”
An Ruo looked at his panel suspiciously, and found that he really didn't have any negative status bonuses, and his face immediately became dull.
Therefore, how stupid is she to believe that cinnabar fed herself poison that day!
Fang Ce sighed softly and said, "I explained to you that even for the sake of the brothers who followed me, I couldn't send you back to the palace, let alone leave you alone in Kyoto. As for tranquility, I will try to protect him as much as possible. ”
An Ruo understood that Fang Ce had already made up her mind, and she had no other choice but to go to Mobei with Fang Ce.
Fang Ce continued: "An Ruo, surviving in the Federation, it is easy to say, but it is also difficult to say. There is no need for you to lose your life for the sake of the high-ranking Young Master of the Wei Family, after all, that is the only thing you have. You must have heard a saying, "Those who forsake me shall not remain yesterday, and those who disturb my heart shall be troubled today. ”
An Ruo lowered his head, tears fell on his clothes, disappeared in an instant, and after a long time, he said: "Okay, I will pack my things as soon as possible and cooperate with you all the way to Mobei." But Fang Ce, just as I am cheeky and rely on the kindness of the unexpected rescue that day, I have a few requests. ”
Fang Ce nodded and said, "Okay, you say." ”
"First, An Ning has been raised by my side for a month, even if she is just an NPC, I hope to take care of her as much as possible along the way, and don't let her lose her life in vain."
"Naturally, since this child's surname is Fang, I naturally won't let her lose her life at will."
"Second, I can go to Mobei with you, but you can't use my presence to wantonly humiliate Wei Yan. The so-called good gathering and good dispersion, he can ruthlessly disregard my life, but I am not willing to be unrighteous and let him lose face because of his existence. Come to think of it, with the shrewdness of Wang Taifu and Wei Yan, it won't be long before the news of Concubine Ding's death will spread all over the world. ”
Fang Ce nodded, touched An Ruo's cheek, and said, "That's fine, you can completely stay away from the strife of this game." When you get to Mobei, I will introduce you to someone, she was the first princess, but she is extraordinarily transparent, at the beginning of the game, she carried part of the family wealth saved by the first prince, and went south away from disputes, and she could still be at ease. Perhaps, you can also consider thinking about such a life. ”
An Ruo raised her eyebrows, even if this former princess originally wanted to stay away from the dispute, but when she went to Mobei at this time, she also let Fang Ce know that she had already participated in this dispute, but this had nothing to do with her.
"Finally, I hope you will abide by your original words and not bother me because of your liking. Fang Ce, I don't want to lie to you, I can't forgive Wei Yan, but I really can't let Wei Yan go. Even if I really let go of Wei Yan, I will definitely not be with you. You are the adopted son of the Fang family, life will only be more complicated than Wei Yan, I don't love you, so I don't want to face this with you, you should find the person who can advance and retreat with you, not me who is trying to steal my life. ”
Fang Ce touched An Ruo's hair and said with a wry smile: "Don't talk about yourself like that, I'm distressed." Don't worry, I will never take a step forward along the way, you just need to cooperate with me to be a husband and wife. ”
Seeing An Ruo nodding, Fang Ce didn't say anything more, and said that he would leave in five days.
An Ruo sighed at Fang Ce's resoluteness, and when he cleaned up with Xiao Zhan, he realized that in fact, all he cleaned up was to take care of An Ning.
"An Ning is still young, and it is impossible to lead this ewe along the way, the road is dangerous, and it is not easy to find a nurse casually, what can I do?"
An Ruo thought about it, recalled the scene of working in a dairy factory, and thought that maybe she could make some homemade milk powder.
"Xiao Zhan, you let Aunt Fu buy milk, the more the better, not limited to the variety."
"But, miss, we can't take it with us, I'm afraid it will break down in just two days."
"So, there's one more thing to trouble you. Find a capable craftsman, make a human centrifuge and hot air blower with me, disperse the milk into mist droplets, dry it in hot air, and then get more ice, and after cooling, you can form milk powder, as long as you keep it dry, you can store it for a while. At that time, only a brew on the road will be needed to solve the problem of peaceful rations. ”
Although Xiao Zhan felt that he couldn't quite understand An Ruo's meaning, it sounded theoretically feasible.
The two of them acted quickly, knowing that they were getting rations for An Ning, or maybe Fang Ce had other plans, and with his strong support, they finally made enough milk powder for An Ning to eat all the way on the day of his departure.
When the day of parting came, Fang Ce and An Ruo finally alarmed the neighbors with the news that a group of people were about to leave.
Aunt Li persuaded: "It's the shops in Suicheng that matter, you just have to go back by yourself." The child is so young, and you young couples have no experience in taking care of children, where can you travel so far. Staying in Kyoto and being taken care of by Aunt Fu is the only thing that our neighbors will help. ”
An Ruo glanced at Fang Ce and said with a smile: "An Ruo knows that Aunt Li has good intentions. It's just that although Suicheng is small, there are too many people who covet my father-in-law. After all, I am a father-in-law, have an industry and good looks, and I am very attractive to the little girl in Suicheng. An Ruo didn't want to raise children alone in Kyoto for a year and a half, so when I turned around, I added a younger sister. ”
An Ruo glanced at Aunt Fu, pulled Aunt Li aside, and whispered in a voice that everyone could hear: "What's more, my mother-in-law's temperament, An Ning is not a brat, Xianggong is not there, An Ruo is really afraid, if there is anything if our mother stays in Kyoto in the future, I am afraid that the sky should not be called, and the earth will not be spiritual." ”
Aunt Li's eyes widened, she had lived for so many years, and it was the first time she had seen someone who took jealousy and mother-in-law's unkindness for granted, and immediately subconsciously looked at Aunt Fu.
Sure enough, Aunt Fu's face turned green with anger.
"Get out, it's good that this little girl dies halfway, and she doesn't waste food. I have a small temple here, so I can't fit your big Buddha. ”
Fang Ce was sandwiched between Aunt Fu and An Ruo, the embarrassment on his face was obvious, and the scene became Aunt Fu and An Ruo scolding each other for a while.
In the end, it was Aunt Li who came up to play the round.
"Alright, alright. An Ruo, your mother-in-law has a hard mouth, but her heart is soft. You see that you don't have enough milk, so Aunt Fu goes around to give the child a lot of milk, for fear that she will starve her little granddaughter. I even made this thing called milk powder, but it wasn't a mother's heart. Since you don't worry about your husband, then follow it to Suicheng, but you must come back every year, otherwise it will be unfilial. ”
An Ruo accepted it when he saw it, and immediately changed his smiling face, and said: "Naturally, I have to come back every year, and my parents are not far away, if it is not for the sake of earning a future for my children, who is willing to leave their hometown." Oh, it's not too early, but you can't miss the time of the dart game, An Ruo will say goodbye to everyone first, and when it comes to the New Year, our husband and wife will definitely come back with their children. ”
When everyone heard this, it was not good to entangle more, but Aunt Fu, her eyes were red at this time, she took Fang Ce's hand and said: "If it is not peaceful today, you must be careful along the way, and you must have someone send a letter when you get to the place." You don't have to worry about it at home, your father and I will definitely help you take care of your home. ”
An Ruo was a little moved when he said this, but under the urging of the dart game, the group still set off.
With the team of the dart game, An Ruo and Fang Ce deliberately painted their faces a little darker and rougher, and with the blessing of Xiao Anning, the group left Kyoto smoothly.
An Ruo opened the curtain outside the city and took one last look at Kyoto, perhaps, this farewell, she will have nothing to do with Wei Yan, no matter what it is, in the end, she should not be moved by Wei Yan's so-called affection at the beginning.
At the same time, in the palace, the Qianqing Palace was full of low pressure, and Wei Yan looked at the battle report sent by Mobei, his face was like frost.
"This battle report, why do you say that Fang Ce has returned to Mobei?"
The people kneeling below didn't dare to raise their heads to answer Wei Yan's words, since the battle report said that Fang Ce had returned to Mobei with Concubine Ding, the emperor would ask why he said this every time, and now, he has already said no, not to say it.
In the end, it was Gonggong Yan who carried everything.
"Your Majesty, the people of Mobei came to report earlier. The Mobei Army welcomed back Fang Ce and Concubine Ding, and also said that Concubine Ding's Niangniang was deeply favored by Fang Ce in Mobei, and was inseparable from Fang Ce in Mobei. Nowadays, the people of Mobei call Fang Ce the king of Mobei, and the concubine Niangniang is the princess of Mobei. Although Fang Ce has not yet gone to the battlefield, such news cannot be faked. ”
Wei Yan threw the battle report to the ground and shouted angrily: "Nonsense, where is there any princess of Mobei, if An Ruo is really a concubine, how can she marry someone else!" ”
The people of the Manchu Qing Palace knelt on the ground and said "the emperor is angry".
Wang Taifu couldn't look at it, and said: "Your Majesty, no matter what, it's been a month, if you don't want the previous dynasty and the people to talk about it and stabilize the hearts of the Mobei army, it's better to say that Concubine Ding Niangniang has died in the rebellion of that day." Even if the emperor doesn't send it, the Wang family will also send out the news that Wang Anruo has died in the war that day. ”
"You dare!"
Wei Yan was furious, but Wang Taifu was not afraid, and after a long stalemate, Wei Yan finally had the strength to return to his seat.
"Wait a little longer, let's say that Concubine Ding is sick in the palace, and when we recover Mobei, let her get better, okay?"
Mrs. Wang sighed, in the end, she still took pity on her brother and stopped dwelling on this matter.
"Now there is a shortage of manpower everywhere, and there are not many people who can send troops to Mobei except for the troops stationed at the border passes and Kyoto. I heard from the commander of the escort army that you still left men along the way to Mobei, so why don't you all withdraw and concentrate on attacking Mobei. ”
"No, unless I see Fang Ce and An Ruo in Mobei with my own eyes, the people along the way must not be able to retreat."
"What do you mean?"
"Since General Geng went, there are no generals available at all. After a while, when I have arranged the harem of the former dynasty and the harem, I will send troops to conquer Mobei. ”
