37 Chapter 37

Fang Linyuan almost kicked him on the spot.

What a sister-in-law! What are you screaming about!

He peeked at Zhao Pu, but saw that he was not messy, and even nodded towards Zhuo Fangyou with a light smile, and said, "The general doesn't have to be polite." ”

Yes, Zhao Pucheng's mansion has always been very deep.

Over there, Zhuo Fangyou was holding the box of silver tickets in both hands, and tears were about to fall out.

"Your Royal Highness Lord Hou rest assured, there will be no shortage of this money, and it will definitely all be handed over to the people on the border. With the Marquis and Her Royal Highness the Princess, they will definitely be able to live a good life this year! ”

Fang Linyuan did not forget to advise: "You have to be careful all the way, don't lose the silver." ”

"Even if I lose my head, I won't lose a penny!" Zhuo Fang Tour. "Don't worry, Master Hou, I'll guarantee my life."

"Okay, okay, take your life to protect everything, how many lives do you have?" Fang Linyuan punched him in the shoulder and said. "I can't go to Guanwai now, you should be careful in everything, and nothing will be childish."

Zhuo Fangyou nodded again and again.

The soldiers and horses were already waiting outside the city, and Zhuo Fangyou couldn't stay in the city for long. After handing over the things to Zhuo Fangyou, Fang Linyuan didn't keep him longer, the two toasted each other with a glass of wine outside the door, and he watched Zhuo Fangyou get on the horse and go in the direction of the outside of the city.

Fang Linyuan watched him go away, and said in his heart, no matter where he was, he could be regarded as defending his family and the country.

But I didn't see Zhao Pu on the side tilting his head slightly and looking at his side face.

His gaze looked long, as far away as the sound of the Qiang flute outside the gate, and a pair of glass-like eyes reflected the distant backs of the soldiers.

For a while, Zhao Pu had an illusion that he was like an eagle that couldn't fly out of a golden cage.

“…… Would you love to go with him? He didn't know why he was asking.

Is Fang Linyuan's answer important?

But for a moment, Zhao Pu seemed to feel that he had an illusion, as if as long as Fang Linyuan responded, he would break the shackles of the layers of golden cages with his bare hands, so that he could see the complete blue sky outside.

Seeing that Fang Linyuan was slightly stunned, he then smiled.

"I didn't want to go that way." He said. "There is no war at the border now, and the difference between me and not being there is not too big."

"It's much freer there than the capital." Zhao Pu said.

Fang Linyuan laughed and looked at him with some surprise: "What's the difference?" I'm not a kid anymore. What's more, my eldest sister-in-law has been worried about me, and if I leave Beijing today, she may not be able to sleep well for a month or two. ”

Zhao Pu looked at him and didn't speak.

The next sentence came to his lips, but seeing Fang Linyuan laughing, he only repeated it silently in his heart.

In Yumen Pass, there is no need to force a husband and wife posture with anyone. He said in his heart.

But when he saw Fang Linyuan smiling, his expression looked relaxed, and when he turned his head to look at him, his eyebrows were also very relaxed.

Didn't he ever think about it? Zhao Xuan thought to himself.

If you don't think about it, you don't feel disgusted.

Zhao Pu understands this very well.

It's just that he can't be sure whether Fang Linyuan is disgusted with him, or whether he is not disgusted with pretending to be husband and wife with him.

Zhao Xuan lowered his eyes.

It was clear that he hadn't figured it out yet, but the ripples in his eyes already needed to be covered up with his eyelashes.

——

When Zhuo Fangyou was far away, Fang Linyuan and Zhao Pu returned to the mansion together.

When he arrived at the door of Huaiyu Pavilion, Fang Linyuan hesitated and wanted to ask Zhao Pu, and as soon as he glanced at Zhao Pu twice, he saw Zhao Pu and said to him: "Master Hou's wound needs to be changed, why don't you come to Huaiyu Pavilion for a cup of tea first." ”

Zhao Pu actually understood what he meant so well!

Fang Linyuan nodded without hesitation and entered the courtyard with Zhao Pu.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he followed Zhao Pu into Huaiyu Pavilion, he saw that Zhao Pu really took out the medicine box.

"What a change of dressing?" Fang Linyuan blurted out.

Zhao Xuan pointed to the soft couch under the window and asked, "Otherwise, what do you think you are doing?" ”

"I thought you knew I had something to ask you...... Fang Linyuan said as he sat down on the soft couch.

"Can you not change the dressing?"

"Have you ever been injured like this?" Zhao Xuan looked at him, his calm tone seemed to be negotiable, but his subordinate mercilessly picked up his injured wrist and asked while unpacking the silk veil.

Fang Linyuan muttered in a low voice: "In the past, there was no medicine that hurt more than an injury." ”

Zhao Pu looked at him, didn't speak, and slowly unwrapped the silk veil wrapped around his hand for him, revealing the wound inside.

Fang Linyuan was slightly stunned the moment he saw the wound.

I saw that the wound on his palm was still terrible yesterday, but today it has completely scabbed, and even the innermost layer of silk yarn has not adhered to it. This healing speed, if it doesn't take three to five days, it will never be like this.

But he's only been injured for a day!

"Is this medicine really so good at you?" Fang Linyuan said strangely. "How do you prepare it, can you let me write a prescription when I go back? I'll send it to Fang You, and I'll ...... Hiss! ”

The medicinal powder fell on the palm of his hand, and the pain made Fang Linyuan tremble again.

However, having seen the miraculous effects of this medicine, Fang Linyuan endured the pain this time. His teeth were clenched tightly, and his muscles were tense, but he didn't forget to chase Zhao Xuan and ask, "But is there a saying that the prescription is not spread?" Indeed, I have never seen ......."

He was trembling in pain, but his clear eyes were still staring at him.

In an instant, Zhao Pu actually had a strange and soft feeling, like a deer from nowhere, very reckless, and a hoof stepped on the soft flesh of his heart.

There was a slight tremor and a soft sinking, but the fawn was unaware of it, and began to step on it.

Zhao Xuan lowered his eyes.

"There is no such thing as not being outspoken. But this medicinal material is precious and scarce, and I only have these in my hands, and I am afraid that the border soldiers will not be able to use it. He said.

"Oh......" Fang Linyuan was a little pity.

Then you really can't afford it. When fighting breaks out on the border, casualties are counted in the hundreds, if not thousands. It is the cheapest wound medicine, and sometimes it is in short supply.

Fang Linyuan still remembers that once he was injured and came back, but saw that several dying soldiers had no medicinal use. He scolded the military doctor, but the military doctor said that there was no medicine available in the Chinese medicine shop in the city, and he had to wait for three or two days for the supplies in Beijing to be delivered, so that these soldiers could use it.

That time, he lied to the military doctor that he had changed the medicine, and secretly gave them the medicine for his injuries, so that he saved these lives.

Hearing Zhao Pu say this, Fang Linyuan had no choice but to stop thinking.

After a moment of silence, he heard Zhao Pu speak again.

"However, the silk medicine is exquisite, and if you change those few flavors, you must be able to use them." He said.

Fang Linyuan's eyes lit up and he looked up at Zhao Pu.

I saw that he was still indifferent and indifferent.

Fang Linyuan was not affected by him at all, his eyes were shining, and he only asked, "Is this okay?" ”

"You can give it a try." Zhao Pu said.

"If it's really feasible, Zhao Pu, you have done a great thing!" Fang Linyuan said. "At that time, how can the Turks still have the strength to fight with my Daxuan soldiers? Presumably, when we throw away our armor, we have to say that we have the help of gods! ”

As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Pu with a smile and joked: "Immortal, then I will thank you for the border soldiers first." ”

Fang Linyuan was so excited that he even forgot the pain in his hands. Zhao Xuan's subordinates gently bandaged his wounds, his eyebrows and eyes were lowered, but the corners of his mouth were slightly curled.

"Don't move." He whispered.

"So let's talk about it?" Fang Linyuan asked.

Zhao Pu raised his eyes and glanced at him, but lowered his eyes again as if he had been burned, and did not speak, but he did not deny it at all.

"Alright." After a while, Zhao Pu knotted the silk yarn and said.

"You just said something to me?"

Only then did Fang Linyuan remember the purpose of Fang Cai following Zhao Pu back to Huaiyu Pavilion.

"Ah, I almost forgot." He said. "I wanted to ask you, how did you think of giving Zhuo Fangyou so much money?"

"Didn't you also give him all the gold in the palace?" Zhao Pu asked him rhetorically.

"yes." Fang Linyuan said. "But you...... It's quite sudden, not to mention, so much silver. ”

Zhao Pu only picked up the tea in his hand and took a sip slowly.

"It's not much." He said. "You can just let your subordinate use it with confidence."

Fang Linyuan blinked.

It wasn't until today that he clearly realized that Zhao Pu was rich, and he was very rich.

But in addition to being surprised, he also knew very well. Zhao Pu is willing to give such a large sum of money to the people at the border, and no matter how rich he is, this intention must not be underestimated.

Thinking of this, Fang Linyuan said with a straight face: "I have written down your kindness. After that, wherever you can get me, you can only ......."

saw Zhao Pu pick up the jade pot on the table and fill the cup in front of him with tea.

"I didn't ask you to do anything." He said. "It's been a busy morning, let's have a cup of tea."

To put it mildly, he blocked all of Fang Linyuan's words after that.

He really didn't mean to ask Fang Linyuan to do anything, so that Fang Linyuan didn't say anything, he didn't even think about the purpose of doing this.

The Chu family business all over the capital, on the surface and in the dark, none of the shops are open for nothing, and no silver is for nothing.

But this money, in Zhao Pu's place, seems to be indeed a nameless flow.

It's not about buying anyone, it's not about expanding its sphere of influence.

Zhao Pu put down the jade pot.

It's just that last night, Yanting sent ten taels of gold, saying that it was given to Hou Ye by His Majesty, and Hou Ye sent it all to him and Song Zhaojin in addition to sending it to Yumen Pass for relief.

At that time, Zhao Pu looked at the few lonely gold ingots on the table, but what came to mind was the vast and barren land reflected in Fang Linyuan's eyes.

What kind of sound can such a small amount of money be thrown in?

It's like a faint stream flowing into the desert

, but in a moment, it will be swallowed up by the yellow sand.

It was like Fang Linyuan's hot, inexhaustible hot blood, splashed away without reservation, as if he wanted to fight against the vast world that could not be seen with his own body.

What is the difference between him and that stream? Desperate for oneself, but it will easily disappear.

Zhao Xuan looked at the stream and didn't want it to disappear.

And he knew that there were only two ways to make it last.

The first is to confine it forever in the south of the Yangtze River, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the warmth of the mountains and rivers will not be as cold as the yellow sand on the border.

But the golden cage is the graveyard of the falcon, which will make him have such a pair of wings for nothing.

The second is to inject a steady stream of water into it.

Let it become a river, into an ocean, swallowing up the desert inch by inch, turning it into an oasis that spreads in all directions until there is no end in sight.

——

The case was over, but the news that Fang Linyuan was still going to stay in the garrison division quickly spread among the sixteen guards.

Different from Fang Linyuan's imagination, not only did these people not put on that declining face like a mourning examine, but a group of sons and brothers gathered money together and chartered the entire Taixing Building to celebrate Fang Linyuan.

Lou Shuo also mysteriously told Fang Linyuan that it was Li Cheng'an's big head.

That day, Fang Linyuan saved Li Chengan's life, and soon reached the ears of Shangshu of the Ministry of War. Li Fu couldn't wait to personally carry the gift to thank Fang Linyuan, but Fang Linyuan refused his kindness and only said that he received his love.

failed to thank him, Li Fu was very unwilling, and retreated to the second, insisting that Li Chengan invite Fang Linyuan to have a drink before stopping.

These people cut first and then played, and Fang Linyuan had to come.

In order to catch up with the days when most of the sixteen guards were resting, except for the part of the guards who were on patrol on duty, a group of people sat up and down the Taixing Tower.

After ordering the wine and food to be taken out for the guards on duty, Fang Linyuan sat down at Li Chengan's table and took the lead in pushing his wine glass away.

If such a large group of people toasted him, they would have to drink him into the infirmary today. He didn't want to suffer this, and it just so happened that there was a very reasonable excuse.

"Just eat, don't drink the wine." As he spoke, he raised his injured hand. "I'm hurt, I can't drink."

Unexpectedly, someone immediately saw the delicate knot on his hand.

"Yo, General, I'm afraid you could have drunk it, but Her Royal Highness the Princess didn't allow it, right?" The man immediately laughed.

When the sixteen guards on this floor heard this, they all laughed.

Fang Linyuan hid that hand under the table.

"Looking for a fight, huh?" Fang Linyuan glared at the man.

But these people gradually got acquainted with him, and they were a bunch of second-skinned faces that were used to being mixed, and they were not threatened by him at all.

"The knots that bandage the wounds are so beautiful, the general is really a blessing!" Instead, the gang added fuel to the chauff.

"Isn't that a blessing? This blessing is something that no one else can ask for! Lou Shuo drank two glasses of wine, and he was not afraid of Fang Linyuan at this time, and he smiled and painted his voice. The one from Qu Shangshu's family, you know, right? Qu Huajun! ”

"What's wrong with him?"

"Before the general's wedding, he was drunk in the Qinglou for four or five days!" Lou Shuo said with a smile. "Even now, his reputation has spread in Sweet Water Alley, and everyone knows that he is a drunken lover of his daughter."

"If you buy drunk in the Qinglou, don't call it a love species, right?" Someone laughed.

"So, it has to be our general!" Someone chimed in. "A person like the princess who moves the capital, besides our general, who else is worthy of it?"

Fang Linyuan couldn't wait for the table to be lifted for them.

Everyone is tall and big, so they have to be long-tongued women on the street, right?

It's just that they are talking and laughing, Fang Linyuan can't do anything to disturb the scenery, he only eats vegetables with a black face, goes in his left ear and comes out in his right ear, just when what they say is the wind blowing past.

Just then, there was a commotion at the window.

"Who's in the city over there?" Someone whispered.

"Look at that horse, it seems to be the ...... of the prince"

——

Several sixteen guards came to the window to watch, and Fang Linyuan was also attracted by them.

"Wang Shizi?" Fang Linyuan also got up and looked there.

"Wang Chang, the prince of Qin, this person has not been guilty for a day or two, and we usually don't see it." When mentioning this person, Li Chengan's expression was a little unpleasant. "I took him once, and I directly told him to make trouble in the big inside."

"I'll take a look." Fang Linyuan said when he heard this.

He has heard of the prince of Qin Guo, the first bastard in the capital, and he is the descendant grandson of the empress dowager of the former dynasty, and he can talk about brothers with Emperor Hongyou according to his generation.

Li Chengan also followed him to the window.

Fang Linyuan turned sideways, and just in time to see the figure on the street market outside the window coming from a distance.

Horses are not allowed in the downtown of the capital, which is within the jurisdiction of the Sixteen Guards.

Most of the houses on this street are restaurants, and there are many vendors and sheds on the roadside. The man rode all the way, followed by a few rampage retinues, and several stalls were knocked to the ground in the distance.

Among them, there is also a cake stall on the side of the street, with a cloth tent and a few diners sitting underneath. The crowd laughed and rode all the way to see that the tables, chairs, and stools had been knocked over, and the diners were scattered and fled in all directions.

It was as if there were bandits in the city.

The sixteen guards patrolling the street had already arrived, but the few horses who followed him could not keep up with him at all, and they shouted for him to stop, and Wang Chang also turned a deaf ear.

There was even a guard who stepped forward to stop him, but was whipped by Wang Chang's entourage. The guard was able to dodge, and the attendant laughed arrogantly: "Get away!" ”

The faces of the sixteen guards around him were already not good-looking.

"This bastard thing......" Lou Shuo had already folded his sleeves and rushed downstairs. Seeing this, several sixteen guards also put down their chopsticks and headed downstairs.

But seeing that Wang Chang had reached the corner of the street, several sixteen guards surrounded him and were about to stop his horse.

Fang Linyuan's eyebrows froze.

This was his order, and if there was any disturbance in a market, the guards who patrolled the market should be responsible.

These people hurriedly stepped forward to stop the horse, but Wang Chang on the horse did not have the slightest intention of stopping, and even intensified the clamping of the horse's belly, and rushed straight towards those people.

If you can't dodge, you will die.

Lou Shuo and the others had just gone down to the second floor, but Wang Chang's horse saw that it was close at hand.

Fang Linyuan didn't hesitate, raised his hand and pressed the window lattice, flew and jumped, and jumped down the three-story building.

There was a burst of exclamations from the crowd around him.

He put a few dots of ground on the roof tiles as a cushion, and landed firmly down the street. His hands were empty, and he caught a glimpse of a broom leaning on the side of the shack, so he reached out and shook it back, and the broom danced in his hand like a spear.

He jumped up and stopped in front of Wang Chang's horse. The horse neighed and saw what was in front of him, but he saw him leap forward, and the broom swept up a strong wind, and directly picked Wang Chang off the horse.

The horse was so frightened that he raised his front hooves, and Fang Linyuan grabbed the reins with one hand and pulled them back and forth, and easily picked up Wang Chang's life from under the horse's hooves.

"Who is presumptuous!" The retinue behind reined in their horses and was in a mess for a moment.

Wang Chang was good at kung fu, but he fell to the ground but was not injured, and when he turned over, he had to be on a par with Fang Linyuan.

But Fang Linyuan didn't give him this chance.

He picked up the long handle of the broom, and pressed Wang Chang back to the ground.

"The horses were confiscated, and a fine of fifty taels was given. In addition to that, you are responsible for the loss of all the vendors on this street. Fang Linyuan said.

"Do you understand?"

Wang Chang was unconvinced and wanted to get up, Fang Linyuan broomed a little, as if playing, and pressed him back again.

The people around him gradually gathered in the distance, although they did not dare to step forward, they pointed and pointed quietly, saying that the one who fell to the ground was the famous prince of Qin.

Behind them, the people on the upper floor of Taixing broke out into a burst of cheers like a tsunami.

Li Chengan's voice can be vaguely heard: "It's really cool to watch the general clean up from the sidelines!" ”

In the cheers, Lou Shuo and the others had already rushed downstairs, and proudly captured the entourage, and confiscated them with the horses.

And in the center of the crowd, Fang Linyuan led the horse with one hand, and held a five-foot-long broom in the other hand.

Wang Chang's face was almost black to the bottom of the pot.

"Do you know who I am?" He asked angrily.

Upstairs, Li Chengan's shouting came.

"Do you know who he is! If it falls into his hands today, you should be unlucky! ”

There was another burst of high-spirited cheers on the entire Taixing building.

——

On the side of the tea house, the curtain is light, and the tea smoke curls. The Tianzi private room is the entire top floor of the teahouse, and the spring breeze in Beijing comes from all directions, and it is full of mist.

A chuckle came from under the hood.

Sitting next to him was a richly robed shopkeeper, who heard this laughter and hurriedly asked, "What did the owner see?" ”

And the man who sat in front of him wore a hat that reached long under the seat. He was slender and thin, and his snow-white robe reflected in the sunlight.

His entire face was hidden under the hood.

He didn't make a sound, only turned his head slightly, and looked at the young general downstairs with a long and sassy posture through the heavy long curtains.

The young general took his gun with one hand, and the spikes of broom fell on the hem of his clothes like golden light shaking off his body.

After a while, he said lightly: "It's okay, go on." ”

The male voice that was indifferent and cold like melting snow on the top of the mountain was dyed with a faint smile, as if soaked in soft and ethereal tea smoke.

"Yes." The shopkeeper on the opposite side said respectfully.

The man stopped talking, and reached out and picked up the cup on the table.

That hand, with slender joints, is as hard as jade, and it is so transparent under the sun that it is indistinguishable from male and female, like a jade statue of a Bodhisattva. :,,.
