PS: the third watch calls for a monthly ticket
Fang Xie took Mo Congzhi''s hand and walked slowly into the front door of Mu house. This pair of Bi people attracted the attention of the boys who greeted the guests at the door of Mu house. Mu Guangling, the Duke of the state of Ning, was waiting at the door in formal clothes. Seeing Fang Xie coming over, he quickly smiled and greeted him: "I heard that the Duke of the state of Zhen was a young talent once in a century in the Sui Dynasty. When I saw him today, I knew that listening to so many praise words before was not enough to praise the style of the Duke of Zhen."
Fang Xie saluted with a fist: "the Duke of Ningguo praised falsely and was extremely frightened."
Mu Guangling smiled, pulled Fang Xie''s arm and walked inside: "Last time the dog came back and said that the Duke of Zhenguo would come to our house as a guest, I''ve been waiting and looking forward to you. Today, I finally looked forward to you. Although you and I met for the first time, I''ve heard the name of the Duke of Zhenguo for a long time. I''ve taken care of the southwest of the Sui Dynasty, expelled barbarians and wiped out Nanyan. This achievement is so great that no one in the world can surpass it."
As he walked, he said, "I admire heroes most. I''m really happy to meet the Duke of town today."
Fang Xie smiled and said, "it''s a private matter to come this time. I didn''t dare to disturb the family. It''s fate to meet my father-in-law. If I don''t visit again, it''s really impolite."
"There''s no need to be so polite."
Mu Guangling said, "when the dog came back, he praised the Duke of the town and even set an example. If he didn''t see you, he didn''t know the greatness of heaven and earth. He was arrogant since he was young. Finally, he met someone who convinced him, which will be of great benefit to him in the future."
The words came out of his mouth, and there was no hypocrisy in his tone. Fang Xie couldn''t help but praise him in his heart. It''s really good to be able to express his unconscionable words so sincerely.
As they walked, they exchanged greetings and said some unnecessary compliments. After arriving at the living room, a young man offered fragrant tea, which is a rock tea produced in Wuyi Mountain in the south of the Yangtze River. It is very valuable.
Mu Guangling said a few words politely and asked about the southwest of the Sui Dynasty. Fang Xie said it lightly about expelling the black flag army from the he people and exterminating Nanyan. Mu Guangling appreciated it again. When chatting with people like Mu Guangling, there would never be an awkward time to say nothing. This person was very warm, but not unfamiliar, and could always find a topic.
"At this time, the great Sui Dynasty needs the manpower of the Duke of Zhenguo to turn the tide."
Mu Guangling sighed after listening to Fang''s explanation of some things in the Southwest: "I wanted to lead troops to the east to serve the country, but I didn''t dare to leave my post without the will of the imperial court. I was ordered to guard the eastern Xinjiang and protect the safety of thousands of people. Even if I was anxious, I couldn''t leave easily. I often think of the great difficulties of the country and I can''t do anything, and my heart is painful and inexplicable."
After a moment of silence, he said, "if there is a royal decree, I should immediately lead the son of Dongjiang to fight the traitors to the death. But as a minister, it is my duty to defend the land. I am afraid that once I lead the troops to leave, Dongjiang will be in chaos. Although I have no ability, I can still be peaceful and stable in Dongjiang for a day."
"The Duke of Ning is the pillar of the country."
"What one sees and hears is the Great Eastern Sui Dynasty," said Fang Jie. "The great Sui Dynasty is now everywhere, but the East is a peaceful place. I have been shocked by what I have seen and heard on this road. People are happy, and the legal system is clear enough to show that you have worked hard in Ningguo. Your Royal Highness has specifically asked before my arrival. If you see Ningguo Gong, you must give her a thank you.
"This is the duty of a minister. How dare you let your royal highness thank you?"
Mu Guangling said, "my greatest wish in my life is that the people all over the world are safe and peaceful. At the beginning, the former Emperor asked me to garrison eastern Xinjiang. That''s great trust. How dare I not do my best?"
"By the way..."
Mu Guangling suddenly stood up and the other party lifted his arms and hugged boxing: "I should have apologized to the justice of the town first, but I forgot in a moment of excitement. The dog and his guard were disrespectful when they met you a while ago, and I have punished them. I hope the Duke of the town will forgive me. As a father, I failed to teach my children well. As a minister, I failed to take care of my subordinates, which is a dereliction of duty... Please forgive me Solution. "
"There is no such thing."
Fang Xie also stood up and returned a salute: "I like the forthright nature of my father-in-law. I''m similar to his age. If I can, I''d like to be a friend with him."
"That''s the best."
Mu Guangling smiled and pretended to suddenly think of something. He pointed to the person standing next to him and said, "this is Su Yang, the leader of Penglai sect, who is also the tutor of the dog. Su Zhang sect also has great admiration for the Duke of town, so he begged me to take him to see you."
Fang Xie hugged Su Yang and said, "Su Zhangjiao, I''ve heard a lot about it."
Su Yang quickly bent over and saluted: "the Duke of the state is polite. The grass people just admire the style of the Duke of the state. They know that the Duke of the state is coming to Mu house, so they ran away and asked Duke Ning to introduce them on his behalf."
"Sit down"
Mu Guangling said, "I have asked people to prepare a banquet. Today I should get drunk with the Duke of the town."
Fang Xie smiled: "I dare not get drunk when I am outside."
There was something strange in Mu Guangling''s eyes, which flashed away as if he had never appeared. Hearing Fang Xie say so, he quickly nodded: "drink a little to make you happy and drink a lot to make things worse. I''m also the leader of the army. Naturally, I know this truth, so I won''t intoxicate you. I won''t have a drink with you, but I''m unwilling to have a drink with you."
He waved, "come on, bring up the wine and vegetables!"
Outside, a row of soldiers in uniform filed in, holding trays. Soon, the table was full. According to the custom of the people of the Sui and Han Dynasties, even when entertaining their best friends, they eat separately. The more they meet distinguished guests, the stricter the rules are. But later, with the more contact with the Mongolian Yuan people, Eastern Chu people and northern barbarians, it was rare to eat separately.
"This is the signature dish of Juxing building in Dongding city. It''s called Ziqi coming from the East..."
If he had a profound look at Fang Xie, "come on, Duke of town, how about this taste."
……
……
"I heard that the Duke of Zhenguo wandered around the world when he was young, but I heard about it but didn''t know it in detail. If the Duke of Zhenguo doesn''t mind, can you tell me?"
Su Yang said slowly after looking at Fang Xie.
Fang Xie''s birth has always been criticized by those big families. In their view, Fang Xie''s birth is humble. Of course, the person who secretly evaluates like this definitely does not dare to say so in front of Fang Xie. Now fangxie is the dominant family in the southwest. Who dares to talk about right and wrong? At most, you can comfort yourself by secretly saying something about Fang Xie''s humble birth. It''s as happy as revenge.
Su Yang had no good intentions when he mentioned this.
"Why do you mind?"
Fang Xie said with a smile, "I was running away before I was 15. Can this sentence satisfy Su Zhangjiao?"
Su Yang blushed and hurriedly explained: "I''m just curious about the past of the Duke of China. If I''m rude, I hope the Duke of China will forgive me. Heroes all over the world don''t ask where they came from. Li Xiaoping, a great general in the reign of Emperor Taizong, settled in the south of the Yangtze River and made great achievements. He also came from a poor family. A hundred years later, the Li family became a famous family in the northwest. Although Li Xiao didn''t come from a noble family, he created a noble family, which is admirable."
Fang Xie smiled and said, "Su Zhang taught me to compare with the Li family. How dare I accept it."
Mu Guangling quickly interrupted: "Su Zhangjiao is a worldly expert who lives on Penglai Island. It''s inevitable that he speaks a little straight, but he must have no disrespect for the Duke of town. Su Zhangjiao doesn''t make amends for the Duke of town?"
Su Yang quickly stood up, picked up the wine pot and poured a glass of wine for Fang Xie. When he picked up the wine pot, he puffed in his palm. The wine immediately changed. It seemed that there was no change on the surface, but it became unusually strong. At this time, there was no degree of wine, but he walked around the wine pot. The wine was much hotter than before.
Fang Xie seemed to find nothing. He picked up his glass and said, "drink with me."
Su Yang smiled and said, "I apologize for my grandfather and should drink together."
He poured himself a glass, then picked it up and looked at Fang Xie. Fang Xie chuckled and drank the wine in the cup. Su Yang thought Fang Xie would react to it. Who thought Fang Xie drank it lightly without any expression. Su Yang was shocked. Seeing Fang Xie''s eyes, he quickly raised his glass and drank it.
Poof!
When he drank it, he immediately gushed out again.
He didn''t know how the wine in his cup became unusually cold. When he drank the wine, a layer of frost formed on his lips, and the frost was still spreading outward. In an instant, half of Su Yang''s face turned blue and purple. Fang Xie lowered his head and smiled, his fingers gently tapped the table, and his eyes were full of smiles.
Su Yang quickly used his internal strength to suppress the chill, but he couldn''t speak for a moment. He stood there awkwardly, neither sitting nor standing.
"Good wine"
Fang Xie said two words with a smile and poured another cup: "Su Zhangjiao, I''ll give you another cup."
Su Yang wanted to refuse, but at this time, to refuse was to admit defeat. He provoked the secret fight. Naturally, he refused to lose face. He raised his glass with some nervousness and tried to soften the wine in the palm of his hand. Fang Xie drank it up again, so he had to drink with him.
Poof!
The second sip of wine Su Yang immediately gushed out again. In the glass he was holding, the rest of the wine bubbled like boiling water. In an instant, his original blue and purple lips changed and turned red, as if they were cooked.
Fang Xie''s face sank: "Su Zhangjiao, what do you mean?"
Su Yang tried to explain, but he couldn''t open his mouth at all.
He talked with Zhou Changmei and knew that Fang Xie had an invisible means of cultivation, so Zhou Changmei suffered a loss. He had been more careful, but he didn''t think that Fang Xie''s invisible power was pervasive. He didn''t even notice when Fang Xie tampered with his wine.
Mu Guangling looked at Su Yang with a cold look in his eyes and said, "it''s impolite of you, Su Zhangjiao. Do you not like the wine in my house, or is it too cheap?"
He reached out and took the wine cup in Su Yang''s hand, and then drank it: "my wine has been sealed for 20 years. It''s a good wine. Why do you vomit?"
He glanced at Fang Xie, and something different flashed in his eyes.
……
……
"How long will the Duke of Zhenguo stay in Dongjiang?"
Mu Guangling asked after putting down his glass.
Fang Xie said: "after today''s visit, I will set out to go back. I have been ordered by the emperor to guard the southwest of the great Sui Dynasty. I have been away for several months this time. If I don''t go back, I''m afraid of something wrong, eating your salary and being loyal to you, so I plan to set out to return to the southwest early tomorrow morning."
"Oh"
Mu Guangling said, "I can''t lose my courtesy when I get to the eastern border. Moreover, the eastern border is not as good as before. Banditry is rampant everywhere. How about I send some people to escort the Duke of town back? Duke of town, don''t be polite. It''s my duty. I have to send it to the Shengfang Pavilion on the riverside at worst."
When he said the words Shengfang Pavilion, he took a deep look at Fang Xie.
Fang Xie smiled and said, "Duke Ning is polite. I didn''t bring any gifts when I came to visit. I had to ask people to buy some on the way. If the gifts are not good enough, Duke Ning shouldn''t blame me."
"How."
Mu Guangling smiled. As soon as he was about to continue, he saw Zhou Fu, the old housekeeper in the house, coming in quickly from the outside, and then whispered a few words in his ear. Mu Guangling''s face was cold, looked at Fang Xie and said, "the Duke of town has a heart. The gift you gave me has arrived."
Fang Xie took a sip from his wine glass and said with a smile, "the ceremony is light and the affection is heavy. It''s good if Ning Guogong doesn''t dislike it."
Two things suddenly flew from a distance outside Mu''s house. The gatekeeper didn''t see the direction of this thing, let alone the person who threw it. But they recognize these two things, not only know, but also know them very well.
These two things, one is the head of green teeth, the other is the head of white eyebrows.
The eyes on both heads were open, obviously not in peace. The gatekeeper naturally knew the two men, so he was scared and retreated. It seems that the eyes on those two heads are so unwilling.
