It was already night when Fang Jie woke up again. He vaguely felt that he had met a stunning beauty in his dream. However, when he woke up, he found that he could not remember what the woman looked like at all. He only had a vague impression of it. , that is, this woman has a faint refreshing fragrance.
Mu Xiaoyao also had a strange scent, but Fang Jie was sure that the woman he wanted to chase after someone in his dream just to say a few words was definitely not her.
Because the temperament of the woman in the dream was completely different from Mu Xiaoyao.
With great effort, he raised his hand to rub his wrinkled brow, but when he moved, he couldn't help but groan in pain.
"Your voice is quite charming."
The big dog sitting beside his bed chuckled and said something, which made the little Dingtian standing not far away blush with embarrassment. She spat and cursed that the people around Fang Jie were really shameless, and then ran away with her butt that was not too round and perky. The big dog laughed loudly and said that the little beauty is indeed as charming as the little beauty, and that little butt is twisted so damn excitingly.
Fang Jie took a sip and said: "You are old and disrespectful at your age. No wonder you can't find a girl who is willing to carry on the family lineage with you."
The big dog explained very seriously that we practitioners look down upon everything in the world, and even if we wander in the garden, we pursue the highest state of not letting a leaf touch our body. It's okay to meet someone and fall in love with them, that's the true nature of romance. The one you see above is a beast. Although my realm is not high, I am at least a fifth-grade expert. If I let it out casually, wouldn¡¯t it be enough for me to throw myself into the arms of my lovely wife and beautiful concubine? I remember when I was in my twenties, I was carried by four beauties who looked like flowers and jade. They spread flowers all the way. They were called the Jade-faced Young Master. Wherever I went, there were endless screams and cheers from women. Each one of them looks like a February or August cat, and it hurts so much when they pounce on them and hold them in their arms.
Fang explained, yes, how much money would it cost to pay for the appearance?
The big dog rolled his eyes at him and simply looked at the several landscape paintings hanging on the walls of the room.
"Not bad, not bad, the strokes change from thick to light just right, but the brushwork is delicate, it looks like it was written by a woman, without losing the grandeur, it has entered the palace, and it is quite popular."
Fang Jie wanted to sit up but his heart ached so much that he struggled in vain for a few times before lying on the bed and sighing: "Have you had time to look at those pictures of landscapes and talk nonsense? Can you tell me whether my injury is serious or not?" ?¡±
"not heavy."
The big dog didn¡¯t even look back.
"But why is there no part of my body that is not in pain? Why can't I even sit up?"
"Four ribs are broken, and the spine is also injured. It's strange that I can sit up. The day you were beaten, you stood up and walked away. I thought you were not injured. Who knew you were the one who was carrying it, but it sounds like you can carry it. It's really not easy to live here. If it were me, I might not be able to climb. Don't worry. The old lame man who wants to take Mu Xiaoyao as his apprentice seems to have good knowledge in medical skills. I'll save you he said. no problem."
"He said?"
Fang Jie smiled bitterly: "Big dog, it's the first time I realize that you are such an irresponsible person."
Just when the big dog was about to say something, the old lame man limped in carrying the wine gourd as big as two people's heads. He glanced at Fang Jie and said calmly, "Just wake up." He sat down on the chair and drank. Taking a sip of wine: "I came to you because I want you to help me persuade Mu Xiaoyao. Her potential is indeed one of a kind. Old lame, this is the first time in my life that I have met such a good seedling. If I don't teach her, I will be in trouble for the rest of my life." It won¡¯t be easy for her. She hasn¡¯t agreed in the past few days, and she has lost her taste after drinking Northwest Shao"
"You have to be sincere when asking for help, right?"
Fang Jie curled his lips and said, "You heal my injuries first, and then I'll try to persuade her."
"You can't heal your injuries at all, so why bother?"
The old lame man smiled and said: "Besides, you are paralyzed in bed and can't walk, so you can only stay in Hongxiuzhao. If you don't leave, Mu Xiaoyao won't leave either. Why should I save you?"
Fang Jie sighed and said, "Are all the worldly experts talking so shamelessly like you?"
The old lame man glared at him and said: "I only look for successors. What does it matter to me whether you die or not? There are so many people in the world who are injured and dead. If I save them one by one, do I still have time to drink and sleep? It is Buddhism to save the suffering. The matter of publicity has nothing to do with the old cripple. Even if the Buddha doesn't care about it, there is still the imperial court."
"Master Luo, don't scare him."
Just at this moment, Aunt Xi, who had changed into a rich and aristocratic light golden dress, walked in slowly, looked at Fang Jie and smiled and said, "You are lucky. Did you take a small golden elixir a while ago? That's right." ?He gave you the most expensive elixir, but I don¡¯t know why he liked you, so he gave you one. "
"Little golden elixir?"
Fang can¡¯t understand it.
"The little golden elixir has the magical effect of the flesh and bones of the living dead. Not to mention that you just broke a few ribs, injured your spine, or even shattered your internal organs. A little golden elixir can make you recover as before."
Aunt Xi smiled and said: "He and I are one family. Since the little golden elixir is given to you by him, it is also given to you by me. That little golden elixir is worth tens of thousands of goldeven ordinary rich families can't get it even if they spend all their wealth." . You owe me. When you pay off the ten thousand yuan you owe, you can leave. "
Fang Jie breathed a sigh of relief, and then sighed: "If I don't leave, Mu Xiaoyao can't leave, right? Look, the same thing is more insidious when someone says it, and he says it so confidently. Old Lame, please come hereit's really a few blocks away."
"But I must go."
"Why?"
"I'm going to Chang'an."
"Well¡¡"
Aunt Xi said calmly: "Hongxiu Zhao is also going to Chang'an."
The old lame man¡¯s face changed, and he couldn¡¯t help but feel a sore nose: ¡°Everyone, thank you very much.¡±
Aunt Xi waved her hand and said with a smile: "Master Luo, you have been guarding the red sleeves for ten years, so I can repay your kindness. Needless to say, Chang'an will always have to go. If he can't come back, Come on, I still want to ask sir.¡±
¡¡
¡¡
In just three days, even Fang Jie himself could not have imagined that his injury would heal so quickly. People said that it took a hundred days to break his muscles and bones, not to mention that he also injured his most important spine. In three days, he was able to get out of bed and walk on his own. The magical effect of this little golden elixir is really amazing.
Anyway, Hong Xiuzhao is going to Chang'an. The old cripple whom Aunt Xi calls Master Luo must be holding on to Mu's waist. In this case, with a perverted master like him protecting Fang Jie along the way, he will naturally not show off his personality. The two of them, Big Dog, walked thousands of miles and were filled with dangers. It's a good thing to have backbone, but pretending to be strong-willed at all times is the same as being stupid in Fang Jie's eyes.
As soon as the news that Hongxiuzhao was leaving Fan Gu spread, it immediately caused a huge wave in the small border town. No one knows how much wealth Red Sleeve Moves has brought to Fan Gu in the past two years. It can only be said that the people in Fangu City have become accustomed to the existence of those fairy-like women in Red Sleeve Moves. They will inevitably be reluctant to leave when they hear that Red Sleeve Moves is leaving. . Even the aunts and daughters-in-law, who often scolded those women behind their backs, felt uncomfortable and empty.
Because there are three floors in Fangu City, Hongxiuzhao and Jinyuanfang, which are the best places for guests to live. Therefore, the people of Fan Gu have lived very well in the past two years. Every family not only has surplus food and money, but the dividends at the end of the year always make people particularly happy. This hellish place is so cold for half the year. Without these three buildings, how could it be so easy to live a comfortable life?
So when people heard that Hong Xiuzhao was leaving, their first reaction was to quickly find Fang Jie. It doesn't matter if the dividends are reduced by a few percent for Fang Jie to change her mind. After all, the red-sleeved move where the barbarians make the most bold moves on the grassland is followed by Jin Yuanfang.
After the golden phoenix flies, there is no difference between the sycamore branch and the withered grass.
But then people discovered that Fang Jie had not been seen for several days. Later, I found out through further investigation that Fang Jie had accumulated twenty-one military merits, which was enough to get approval from the Ministry of War to take the exam at the Imperial Capital Martial Arts Academy. It was precisely because Fang Jie was leaving that Hongxiu Zhao also had to move to the imperial capital.
People were even more surprised and shocked. Without Fang Jie, Fan Gucheng seemed to have lost not only money and fun, but also a backbone that he had ignored in the past and was now awakened to.
For several days, people gathered outside Jinyuanfang to find a solution. But Fang Jie, who has always been good-tempered, didn't know why he was so hard-hearted this time, and he didn't see anyone behind closed doors. Even if Aunt He and his old neighbors, who had a very good relationship with him, came to beg for help, the bodyguards from Jinyuanfang would not open the door.
Someone suddenly thought of asking the frontier general Li Xiaozong, but when they arrived at the general's mansion, they found that the gate of the general's mansion had also been closed. After asking the soldiers guarding the gate, it turned out that the imperial envoys who came from the capital a few days ago were surrounded and killed by the cavalry infiltrated by the Mongolian and Yuan Empire. General Li was guilty of dereliction of duty, so he locked himself in the general's mansion and waited for General Li Yuanshan of the Right Xiaowei. and the court¡¯s disposition.
In an instant, the people felt that the walls of Fangu City were no longer as indestructible as before.
??Without Li Xiaozong, without Fang Jie, without the Red Sleeve Move Is Fan Gu still Fan Gu?
The people were so frightened that they even forgot that their original intention of coming to beg Li Xiaozong was that they were afraid that after Hong Xiuzhao and Fang Jie left, Fan Gucheng would lose a lot of income.
At this time, Li XiaoZong's general's mansion. Now, the two people who are at the forefront of the public crisis in Fangu sit calmly facing each other, drinking tea and talking, as if their relationship is better than before. The stove in the room was still burning brightly, and the tea in the cup was still Jiangnan's top-notch tea that even Yuan Chongwu, the governor of Shandong Province, found it difficult to drink.
Tea was brought by merchants from the Sui Dynasty thousands of miles away. Although the new tea was no longer new when it arrived in Fangu, the taste was not lost much. Such good tea was bought by the tribal leaders on the grassland at large prices. Used to show identity. In Fang Jie's words, it's just spending money to show off. It is said that there is an example of a prince from a small tribe who washed his feet with good Jiangnan tea to show that he was rich, but was later beaten into a disability by his father.
A pot of lotus heart would cost a hundred and ten taels of silver even in the imperial capital.
Tea is also divided into nine grades, and this lotus heart is a good tea of ??the ninth grade. One kilogram of lotus hearts must be at least 12,000 buds. If it is less than this number, it will not be considered as the ninth grade, nor can it be called Lianxin, but the second best, Biya. It is said that in the imperial capital, Hao Kuo Wu once drank the lotus heart with 16,000 buds, and that pot of tea cost 3,000 gold.
It is said that Wu Yiyi was so rich that he could buy a mountain and river in the Sui Dynasty.
It is said that an entire wall of the imperial capital city wall, which is known as the strongest in the world, was renovated by Wu Yiyi with money. It is precisely because of this great contribution that the current emperor has made him a Marquis of Sanjin, which exempts him from three capital crimes except for treason. But people have always wondered why the construction of the city wall was more successful than the generals who opened up the territory?
"I have already written your recommendation letter to the Ministry of War."
Li Xiaozong pushed a piece of used printed paper on the desk in front of Fang Jie: "I wish you a great success in the Yanwu Academy exam and don't lose the face of our Fan Gucheng. You are the self-builder of Fan Gucheng." It¡¯s not easy to be the first person to be qualified to take the examination of the Yanwu Academy in decades. Don¡¯t come back in despair. It¡¯s okay for people to look down on you. Don¡¯t take it with you and look down on Fan Gu, who is a man of three and a half miles.¡±
"That doesn't sound very nice."
Fang Jie smiled and put away the letter of recommendation: "This is an opportunity I bought with my life, so I will cherish it. As for whether I have lost the face of Fan Gucheng, General, do you think you can still help the people of Fan Gucheng?" Say this?"
"You used to be nice, mellow and clever. But now your words are too sharp Fan Gu is not as good as the imperial capital. It is better to be more cautious after arriving in Chang'an. Sometimes an innocent word can offend the powerful, and you will die without knowing why. And die."
"Why do you need to speak when you offend the powerful? You look down on the powerful too."
Fang Jie smiled and stood up to say goodbye.
"I hope we can meet again in the future."
Li Xiaozong stood up and clasped his fists: "I still have to wait here for Jibei County, You Xiaowei and the investigating officials sent by the imperial court, so I can't send you away. Logically speaking, you have to be sent thirty miles away. After all, it¡¯s just an acquaintance, so you won¡¯t blame me for being rude.¡±
Fang Jie laughed loudly, looked back at Li Xiaozong and said, "There is a pavilion thirty miles away. I wonder if the general still remembers it?"
"Eagle Flying Pavilion, that pavilion has a history of hundreds of years. It is the place where Emperor Taizu of the Sui Dynasty got a snow-white and extremely golden Haidongqing, and released it to freedom. It is said that for the next twenty years, you can see it every year. The white raptor circled here for a while, which was quite mysterious. It didn't come back until Taizu passed away. The pavilion belongs to Fangu City Management, and people are sent to repair it every year. I will certainly remember it. "
Fang Jie turned around and left without saying another word.
Li Xiaozong looked at Fang Jie's back and sighed, and couldn't help but murmured: "Young man, you have such great ambitions."
