Su Buwei always sent Fang Xie to the imperial chariot. He kept staring at Fang Xie''s steps. When he went out, he couldn''t help sighing and hesitated to stop Fang Xie: "general Fang... The steps in the future can be larger or smaller, especially in front of your majesty."
Fang Xie didn''t understand this sentence at first. He suddenly remembered that he had been calculating how many steps he had taken since he boarded the imperial chariot, and then his face changed.
"Thank you, father-in-law!"
He said sincerely.
Su Buwei smiled and waved his hand: "You don''t have to thank me. I''m just a servant waiting in front of your majesty. I''ve been with your majesty for a long time, so I''ve secretly learned some skills of observing people. Your majesty likes general Fang''s frankness, and I respect general Fang''s honesty. But sometimes some casual actions may offend Tianwei, so it''s better not to exceed the rules. It''s not easy to get to this step because even yourself I don''t know why I fell... What a pity... "
Fang Xie hugged: "I wrote it down."
Su Buwei nodded with satisfaction: "I said more. I''ll say goodbye. I wish general Fang a victory."
"Thank you."
Fang Xie saluted, then turned and left.
Su Buwei looked at Fang Xie''s back and shook his head after a while. He didn''t know whether he was right or wrong. Although it might be just a coincidence, this was the most taboo thing for the royal family. As the most intimate Chamberlain around the emperor, he actually needed to remind the emperor to pay attention. But he didn''t do so in the end. A voice in his heart kept persuading him not to do it Such a small matter ruined the future of a promising young man.
He has been with the emperor for more than ten years, and he has never met a person whose pace is the same as that of the emperor. It takes 45 steps from getting on the imperial chariot to sitting on the Dragon chair, but you should know that this is carefully crafted by the craftsman according to the size of his Majesty''s usual walking steps. Since his Majesty was a child, he has been taught by the court etiquette, and there are even rules for each step. Fang Xie only knows He''s just a man from a poor family. He doesn''t understand these... His pace is the same as that of the emperor. It''s just a coincidence.
Su Buwei turned around and walked into the imperial chariot. He threw it away from his heart and stopped thinking about it.
After leaving the imperial chariot, Fang Xie went to say goodbye to Jin Shixiong. The two men talked for a while. Fang Xie was ready to leave. Just as he left and walked out of the tent, he suddenly saw a familiar figure standing there in the distance, holding his back to him and standing like watching the scenery. But Fang Xie knew that the man was waiting for himself.
Fang Xie walked over and saluted with his fist: "I''ve seen Lord Hou."
The person waiting for him was Hou Wenji, the former caretaker of the Qing Ya town of the Imperial Guard Office. No one could see through him. When he was around the emperor, no one doubted his loyalty, so many people couldn''t believe that he fled to the Northwest after Prince Yi''s rebellion. When he was around Li Yuanshan, no matter how song Qian would persuade Li Yuanshan, he still got Li Yuanshan''s trust Trust.
No matter who he stands next to, he looks natural, as if he should have stood there.
Now he has returned to the emperor. The news sent before the decisive battle also made it easy for the imperial court to crush Li Yuanshan''s last struggle. Before that, he may have sent a lot of news to the emperor, but it doesn''t matter. What''s important is that Fang Xie''s vigilance towards this man has risen to a higher level.
"I don''t have an official position now. I should salute you."
Hou Wenji turned around, smiled at him and prepared to salute. Fang Xie quickly held him and said, "it''s only a matter of a while and a half to restore your official position. Besides, even if you don''t have an official position, you are also my predecessor. It should be me."
Hou Wenji didn''t insist either. He said gently, "are you leaving?"
Fang Xie nodded: "I''m leaving."
"Walk with me?"
Hou Wenji asked.
Fang Xie nodded and followed Hou Wenji in the second half.
"You can leave now."
Hou Wenji said as he walked: "Although Li Nian ambushed the enemy and the remnants of the rebels were not worried, there were 200000 Mongolian Yuan barbarians behind the imperial army. After Luo Yao''s men and horses returned to Huangyang Road, the barbarian cavalry would never continue to pursue. And your Majesty would never allow those barbarians to leave from the northwest, so the real war has not yet started. Compared with the 200000 wolves, the remnants of the rebels in Li Yuanshan are not counted What? "
"Your Majesty didn''t mention it."
Fang Xie answered.
Hou Wenji took a deep look at Fang Xie, smiled and said, "you are more and more cautious."
Fang Xie smiled and said nothing.
"Your Majesty values you very much. It''s a good thing."
Hou Wenji said, "it''s nothing important for me to see you. I just want to tell you something about the loyal prince. Everyone says you are his disciple, and you say so yourself, but I know he may not have any close relationship with you. Anyway, I think you should be very interested in his news."
"Yes"
Fang Xie nodded: "loyalty to the prince has great kindness to me."
Hou Wenji sighed and said, "the people who have helped you are very happy, because they met a person who knows how to repay kindness. Your majesty also values you, and I appreciate you."
"Adults have also helped me."
Fang explained.
Hou Wenji shook his head: "No, when I was in Chang''an, you were not a person worthy of my special attention. Now I found that my vision was not as high as I always thought. I once misunderstood two people. The first was Zhou banchuan, President of the martial arts academy. He looked too high at him. It turned out that he was just a servant standing in front of the giant. The second was you... But I looked too low at you Better, but fortunately it''s not too late. "
Fang Xie listened quietly without interrupting.
"If I guess correctly, your majesty will let you guard Qingxia, right?"
"Yes"
"Well, in that case, you should have nothing important to do for a while. Prince Zhong hasn''t died yet, but he doesn''t seem to be free. If you have time while waiting for Meng Yuan barbarians to return to the army, you can go and explore. You can think about what happens when you die."
He whispered a few words in Fang Xie''s ear, and Fang Xie''s face immediately changed.
"Why did you tell me?"
Fang Xie asked.
Hou Wenji was silent for a long time, stopped and looked at the sky: "Because your majesty stabbed Luo Yao in the back with the knife of Meng Yuanren, Luo Yao will never be able to bear it. You''ve seen Luo Yao, and maybe you don''t know Luo Yao enough. What I can tell you is that if Luo Yao doesn''t intend to do it according to the rules, but relies on his invincible cultivation to assassinate the emperor, no one can stop it. If there is another person in the world, it can only be him Loyal prince. "
"There is also the old Dean of the martial arts academy."
Fang explained.
"The old Dean is too old."
Hou Wenji sighed: "I''m too old to get out of the male city."
Fang Xie nodded: "no matter why, I will go."
"I knew you would go."
Hou Wenji looked at the sky and muttered: "In fact, you may not understand why Mengyuan wolf riding will act according to your Majesty''s idea until now. Because it is not acting according to your Majesty''s idea at all, but according to the Mengyuan people''s own idea. You haven''t been exposed to the secrets of that level, but I''m beginning to believe that you will climb so high or even higher sooner or later. The wolf riding can''t rely on it in the raid If Luo Yaodui is killed by human life, it will be difficult to do things later... The world will be in chaos, but it is not just the big Sui Dynasty. "
With these words, Hou Wenji turned and walked away.
Fang Xie looked at his back and thought carefully about what he had just said, but he found that he really didn''t have a clue. At this moment, he suddenly found that he underestimated Hou Wenji. The man who seemed to stand at the highest place in the world may have seen many truths he shouldn''t have seen, but he didn''t want to say them. He was like a spectator, just waiting for things Occurs, then ends.
……
……
Fang Xie didn''t expect what he saw this time. He thought the emperor was going to exchange his residual life for the life of Li Yuanshan Luo Yao and the 200000 barbarian wolves, but now it seems that everything is not as tragic as he thought. The emperor is still alive and Li Yuanshan is defeated. The barbarian of Mongolia and Yuan moved to Luo Yao and Luo Yao retreated.
He thought that if he saved the emperor''s life, he would try his best. Now the biggest gain in this business is to kill Li Yuanshan himself.
When he returned to his camp, Fang Xie kept thinking about hou Wenji''s words in his mind. He said that there was a deeper reason why Mengyuan barbarians rode 200000 wolves to fight Luo Yao. From Hou Wenji''s words, it seemed that the barbarian''s goal was to kill Luo Yao.
The people of Buddhism want to kill Luo Yao, and the Mongolian Yuan army also wants to kill Luo Yao. Why?
What is Luo Yao''s identity?
The name is like a needle in Fang Xie''s heart, which makes him guard against the danger that he doesn''t know when it will suddenly come. Because no matter what Luo Yao''s identity is, Luo Yao''s interest in his flesh can be determined. With Fang Xie''s current strength, if Luo Yao really comes, there seems to be no room for resistance.
Luo Yao may be the only one who knows how strong he is.
As Hou Wenji said, if Luo Yao doesn''t want to play, he can avoid everyone and appear in front of the emperor alone, and then easily kill the emperor. Wan Xingchen is in Chang''an City, Luo Yao may be afraid to kill the crown prince. But will there be experts around the emperor who can stop Luo Yao? If so, Hou Wenji won''t worry like that
Fang Jie thought of Su Buwei, then shook his head and denied the man. Su Buwei''s cultivation would be very strong, otherwise the emperor wouldn''t take him with him all the time. But Fang Jie didn''t think Su Buwei was Luo Yao''s opponent. Hou Wenji must know this man better than Fang Jie.
"What did the emperor say?"
Mu Xiaoyao couldn''t help but ask when he saw Fang Xie stunned.
"Nothing"
Fang Jie took it out of his mind and shook his head with a smile: "just promoted my official again. Now your man is a marquis."
Mu Xiaoyao smiled: "the important thing is that you don''t have to stay with the emperor. That''s why we feel secure. I don''t know why, qingfan and I don''t think it''s a good thing for you to stay with the emperor."
"Maybe."
Fang Xie saw the old face of the emperor in his mind and couldn''t help sighing heavily in his heart.
He ordered the cavalry to reorganize, take enough food and grass and leave immediately. The emperor sent someone to allocate a batch of armor, which had been installed, but he didn''t give him another soldier. The cavalry team of 3000 people will take at least 200 carts when they go back. The journey will certainly not be too fast.
When Fang Xie left the camp, he saw a dilapidated village not far from the camp. At the beginning, Fang Xie didn''t care about the difference between the village. When his sight had left, he suddenly moved in his heart and turned back immediately. He saw a well platform under the dead tree at the entrance of the village. An old man in coarse clothes sat cross legged on the well platform, holding a fishing rod high, and the fishing line hung in the wellhead. It seemed that he was fishing in the well.
Fang Xie stared at the old man he had never seen, stopped there and forgot to move on.
Fishing in a broken well in a dilapidated village, what can he catch?
Who is this man and why is he here?
