Chapter 998: Bird and Rabbit
Fang Wen was standing in the courtyard looking up at the sky, puzzled, two things in succession, which should have been a great success, but failed, making him discouraged and his confidence was greatly hit, "This is not the job that a military advisor should do." He muttered softly to himself.
The first happened last night, Xu Yanwei came over for a private meeting, everything was fine at first, the dishes were delicious, the wine was fun, the interest of the two quickly rose, when Fang Wen said that the Dragon King knew the "secret" of the two, Xu Yanwei behaved quite calmly, "So what? I'm not his woman, you are not his little white face, the Dragon King is in charge of the heavens and the earth, and can also control the affairs of our bed?"
"No, no, the Dragon King doesn't care. Fang Wen put down his wine glass and sat upright, "Yanwei, I decided." β
"What do you decide?" Xu Yanwei looked confused, "Decided not to gain weight anymore?"
Fang Wen sighed secretly, thinking that when he was not so familiar with it at the beginning, Xu Yanwei was so petite and cute, Chu Chu was moving, and even eating was like a kitten when he saw people for the first time.
But this is a task, but also a punishment, Fang Wen is heart is heart, righteous and awe-inspiring: "I decided to marry you, of course not now, to wait for the city lord to end the competition, after the dragon king's major event has been decided, we can decide on a marriage first, fortunately, all of them have no father and no mother...... What are you laughing at?"
Xu Yanwei threw down the wine glass, covered his stomach and laughed so much that he couldn't raise his head, and after a while, he stopped slightly, wiped his clothes twice with his two hands, and said: "You dead fat man, people are so interested, and you were doused by your words, you did it on purpose, right? If you don't want to go to bed, just say, I don't lack men." β
Fang Wen was inexplicable, "I mean I'm going to marry you." β
"Oh, don't you tease me anymore...... Do you mean really?"
"Of course it's true. Fang Wenshi stood up and walked around to Xu Yanwei's side, "You are not married, I am not married, you are not young, you should also start a family......
"You're not small, I'm still young. Xu Yanwei also stood up and walked around the table to avoid Fang Wen, the Xu family's sisters and brothers looked young, Xu Yanwei bothered to dress up, and could even pretend to be a girl.
Fang Wen smiled, "I didn't expect you to be shy, just play, don't push around, this is your great opportunity......"
"My chance?"
"Yes, what kind of man do you want to find? I heard that although I am not handsome and chic, but I am full of wealth, as the right-hand man of the Dragon King, I have made great achievements, and the future is limitless, the most important thing is that I don't dislike you, but you had better change your name and completely erase the past......
Xu Yan walked in front of Fang Wenshi with a cold face, lifted the hem of his skirt, stepped on the chair carefully, and looked at the military advisor condescendingly.
Fang Wen raised his head, "Well, being tall is a bit unsuitable for you......"
With a crisp sound, Xu Yan jumped off the chair and walked away.
Fang Wen covered his face, stunned and speechless, and only after a while did he pat the table angrily, "What a slut, you are so ignorant, you are unwilling, and the Dragon King can't force me." β
The next morning, when Fang Wen went to see Chu Nanping, he still had shallow fingerprints on his face, and he was indignant in his heart, he was going to Beicheng later, and when he passed by Chu Nanping's room, he knocked on the door and entered, wanting to inform him of his decision to withdraw from the competition, which was also a kind of respect for the swordsman.
Chu Nanping stood straight, as if he was a guest in someone else's room, and he didn't take the initiative to speak when he saw the military advisor coming in.
Xiao Chu was taken by the Dragon King, Fang Wen thought, such a swordsman, his appearance is extraordinary, and his martial arts are not bad, he walks around Nancheng, I don't know how many women and even men will be fascinated, but he has to learn from the Dragon King with a frosty face, "Ah, Xiao Chu, tomorrow is the third competition, I think we don't have to drag it out, I will go to inform the Central Plains people today, saying that you quit ......"
"Who said I was going to quit, Dragon King?" asked Chu Nanping.
"This ...... The Dragon King didn't say it, but that's for sure, do you still want to compete with the Dragon King?"
"Why not?"
"This ...... This ......" Fang Wen was confused, Chu Nanping's stubbornness was the same as Xu Yanwei's refusal, which made him overwhelmed, "This is not a joke, I have a series of plans with the Dragon King......"
"Are you afraid that the Dragon King is not my opponent?"
"Of course not, but ...... Why are you killing each other? You are a subordinate of the Dragon King, so you have to be unanimous with each other. β
"When I participated in the city lord competition, I was a disciple of the proud building, and I had nothing to do with the Dragon King. Chu Nanping's voice was calm, but it was more decisive than Xu Yanwei's slap, "I'm ready, please tell the Dragon King, I'm looking forward to tomorrow night's battle." β
Fang Wen had a cold face, "You can say it yourself, I don't care about it." After that, he brushed his sleeves away, stood at the door and thought for a while, called Nie Zeng and the guards, and went straight to Beicheng out of the military mansion.
When he was about to arrive at the city gate, Fang Wen felt that there was really no need to see the Central Plains people today, the original excuse for the meeting was that Chu Nanping withdrew from the competition, but now there is no reason, Pang Jing is a big mouth, and he must ask questions, but he has to explain the fingerprints on his face embarrassedly.
Fang Wen changed his mind, turned into a restaurant that opened earlier, arranged a table for the guards, and sat upstairs with Nie Zeng in a private room.
"Closed today. Before the wine and food came up, Fang Wen said generously: "Follow me to suffer, I haven't thanked you yet." β
Nie Zeng got up and said, "The military advisor is too polite, it is my duty to protect your safety, but the military advisor has suffered a lot along the way." β
Fang Wen is great joy when he heard the words, this is the treatment that the Dragon King's military division should receive, Xu Yanwei and Chu Nanping are both accustomed to the Dragon King.
In the morning, there were few guests, the wine and food were served quickly, and a glass of wine was in the stomach, Fang Wen felt that some words were not spit out and unhappy, "Women, 'the near is not inferior, and the far is resentful', this is too right, men's things are bad for women." β
Nie Zeng listened carefully and did not respond, the words of the military advisor were too distant and profound for him.
"What's going on with Xiao Chu?Is it awkward with Tie Linglong again?" Fang Wen didn't want to take himself as an example, so he mentioned Chu Nanping.
Nie Zeng's face flushed slightly, he lowered his head and drank to cover up, and then said, "They have been separated for a while." β
"Oh. Fang Wen suddenly realized, and understood Chu Nanping a little in his heart, "It's a pity, a pair of beauties, the two of them are quite a good match, what's the matter? Who doesn't want to?"
"Chu Nanping, if he wants to practice swords, he has to cut off the love thread. β
Fang Wen slapped the table, "What kind of swordsmanship is this? As soon as I heard it, it was an evil way, if I wanted to cut off the love thread, how good it was to become a monk, why did I practice the swordsmanship of killing?"
Fang Wen nagged for a while, stared at Nie Zeng opposite, and asked, "Strange, let's go back to Biyu City together, you know everything, but I don't know anything?"
Nie Zeng coughed twice, "The military advisor has big things in his eyes, so he naturally can't pay attention to these small things." β
Fang Wen felt that this explanation was very reasonable, and said with a smile: "Nie Zeng, you have become much more mature recently, to be honest, I can't even tell that you are a killer." β
Indeed, Nie Zeng is no longer the young killer with a gloomy expression full of hatred, he is tall, although he is a little thin, he looks very strong and well-proportioned, and his weather-beaten face complements a trace of childishness, like a leopard that is just showing its claws.
"Everybody says that. Nie Zeng smiled bitterly and scratched his head, "Master Hu no longer recognizes me, saying that I am his shame." β
"Haha, does this Hu Shining want you to be a killer for the rest of your life?"
The two were chatting, and the restaurant guy brought a few more dishes, including fish and meat, Fang Wen was surprised and said, "Wrong, this is not our dish." β
The guy nodded, "That's right, it was given to you by another guest officer." β
"Who?"
"Well, I don't know. β
The guy was lying, Fang Wen didn't care, walked to the door and looked at it, just about to ask the guy to show him, but found that it was not necessary, and the guest who delivered the food was toasting by the window.
Fang Wen nodded his head, turned around and sat down, and said in wonder: "It's actually Zhang Ji, what a coincidence, I haven't seen him when I went upstairs." β
"Probably not by chance. Nie Zeng noticed more details than the military advisor, "We have been followed by people on the road. β
"Really, why didn't you say it earlier?"
"I don't want to worry the advisor too much, besides, there are people following me every day, and they have no malicious intent. β
"How do you know?"
"Sometimes they deliberately show their tracks, and that's a hint. β
Hints between the killers, Nie Zeng doesn't look like a killer, he hasn't forgotten what he has learned, Fang Wen is not so confident, "Does the Dragon King know?"
"Yes. β
Fang Wen was puzzled, picked up the chopsticks and pulled the dishes sent by Zhang Ji, and suddenly smiled, "This Zhang Ji is really good at tricks." β
"What, is it poisonous?" Nie Zeng became nervous, if something happened to the military advisor, he couldn't afford to take responsibility.
Fang Wen shook his head, "Look, this is a plate of rabbit meat, what kind of bird's meat is this." β
"Hmm. Nie Zeng still didn't understand.
"'The birds are all gone, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, the lackeys are cooked', haven't you heard this sentence?"
"No, I don't read much. Nie Zeng said embarrassedly.
Fang Wen pondered for a moment, got up and said, "Zhang Ji wants to buy me, and I will meet him later." β
But after a while, Zhang Ji had already left, and he sent someone to follow Fang Wenshi, and sent a few dishes with great difficulty, as if he was just passing on a clichΓ© of ancient precepts.
Fang Wen was also not interested in eating and drinking, paid the bill, and hurriedly took people back to the Protector's Mansion.
The dragon king used to rest in the morning, although he could get up at any time, Fang Wen didn't want to disturb him, but walked around and talked to everyone one by one.
It was almost in the evening that he came to see the Dragon King, and as soon as he entered the door, he said: "Dragon King, Jinpeng Castle has made a big show to win over and buy the soldiers of the Dragon Army, and even I will not let it go, you don't know, right?"
"Yes. β
"This ...... Is the Dragon King just letting it go?"
"This is Zhang Ji's trick to hide from the world, he buys everyone, thinking that then I don't know who he really buys. β
"But the Dragon King already knows?" Fang Wen asked happily, already thinking of words of praise in his heart.
"Not yet. Gu Shenwei told the truth, "This is a traditional assassination method, and I would love to see it." β
Fang Wen was confused all day, and the Dragon King's words made him even more incomprehensible, could it be that bribing a military advisor who didn't know martial arts was also an assassination method?
