Zhuo Buyi glanced at the young man who made an impassioned speech in front of the emperor and smiled involuntarily. The young man had said before that at this time, he would naturally pick up the flattery and flattery, but what he said did not seem to mean any flattery. However, the emperor was very happy.
"It expresses respect for the emperor in a vulgar way, and the quality of this flattery is very high."
Since when did this young man become accustomed to everything in Chang'an City?
The young man¡¯s status is not high, so the time to speak is very short. The emperor and the adults drank Fang Jiejing's wine together, which was enough. He turned around and walked back. When he returned to his seat, Chen Bolai had already begun to preach about the achievements of his ancestors. This is something arranged by the emperor, and the words are for those old people to listen to. Although these old people are just ordinary people, they have high prestige among their neighbors.
Soon, everything they saw and heard from the palace would spread. It won't be long before the entire city of Chang'an will know what happened during the New Year's Eve feast.
"That's a good point."
Zhuo Buyi smiled and said, "Especially when you say wearing a wide robe and long sleeves is not convenient for eating."
Fang Jiexin said that it was just the truth, and you naturally felt good about it. But most people here appreciate the passionate and not-so-sincere words that follow.
"There is something to do, I have to leave first"
Zhuo Buyi lowered his voice and said: "From now on, the Yanwu Academy will be closed until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The students living in Chang'an City during these fifteen days are in danger of being assassinated. There are too many people. There are not enough people in the guard department. The murderer has been waiting for the opportunity to kill for these days. I don't think he has escaped from Chang'an. Killing is just a means to achieve his goal. It¡¯s not known what his purpose is, but it¡¯s clear he hasn¡¯t achieved it yet.¡±
Fang Jie nodded, glanced at the students present and lowered his voice: "Among the ten people here today, only Ma Lilian and I went to Banyue Mountain that day. I will go with her in a while. If we separate she meets It may be more dangerous.¡±
"I will send someone to follow you."
Zhuo Buyi said.
Fang Jie thought of the time he met the emperor before. The emperor told Su Buwei, the eunuch who always seemed so low-key, that from today on, Fang Jie will be left to you. So he shook his head and said: "No, you don't have enough manpower. There are many people in Chang'an who don't want me to die, and Big Dog and the others are waiting outside. There are two of us, Shen Qingshan and I, unless the murderer He is a ninth-level master, otherwise he would have no chance at all.¡±
"Well¡¡"
Zhuo Buyi nodded and said, "The Daozong people are over there. If you feel in danger, you can go with them. With the Daozong people watching over you, the murderer won't have the guts to show up."
Hearing this, Fang Jie remembered why he didn't see Xiang Qingniu today. He raised his head and looked around, and then saw the fat Taoist sitting upright in the crowd very close to the emperor. I was a little nervous when I came up to toast the emperor just now, and didn't notice where the Daozong people were sitting.
Perhaps feeling Fang Jie¡¯s eyes, the fat Taoist Xiang Qingniu glanced here but said nothing. Seeing him pretending to be serious, I wanted to laugh when Chen Bo came and told them about the achievements of his ancestors. This guy's posture of sitting solemnly seemed so awkward.
¡°Sir, can I ask you a question?¡±
Fang Jie asked: "Can you tell what state that fat-headed guy is in?"
Zhuo Buyi followed Fang Jie's line of sight and looked over, then shook his head and said, "Dao Zong's cultivation techniques are somewhat special. Unless they are used, it is difficult to see how deep their cultivation is. It is said that Dao Zong's Great Zhou After Tianxiao Zhoutian cultivates to a certain level, he will return to his true nature and look just like ordinary people, but his cultivation level is ridiculously high."
"That only shows that there are not many like this in Dao Sect."
Fang Jie smiled and said: "The red-robed great priest, Taoist Hexiao, is no ordinary person at first glance, which means that he has not yet mastered the Great Zhoutian and Xiaozhoutian techniques. He is already a red-robed great priest, and his status among the Tao sect is relatively high. He is very tall."
"Wrong"
Zhuo Buyi shook his head: "You don't understand Dao Zong It's true that Master Xiao is the leader of Dao Zong, but he may not be the one with the highest cultivation level in Dao Zong. The status of the red-robed great priest is very high, but that is only for ordinary disciples and Speaking from people in the world. You should understandthere may be some unborn old monsters in every sect. I believe there may be such people hidden somewhere in Qingle Mountain."
? ???Wait a minute¡±
Fang Jie thought for a while and then asked: "You said just now that you can't tell Xiang Qingniu's cultivation, but I think he is just a liar who eats and drinks. How can he have the demeanor of an outsiderAccording to what you said before It is said that Da Zhou Tian and Xiao Zhou Tian will return to their original nature after cultivating to a certain level. Isn¡¯t that Qing Niu¡¯s cultivation really high?¡±
Zhuo Buyi smiled: "How would I know, but it's strange His realm seems to be unstable, rising and falling."
He stood up and said: "Are there any questions? If not, I will leave."
"the last one."
Fang Jie looked at him and asked seriously: "Where is Mu Xiaoyao?"
Zhuo Buyi was startled and remained silent for a while before replying: "Grassland, Mandu flag."
Fang Jie frowned and clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves: "Who arranged for her to go?"
"Your Majesty the Governor."
Zhuo Buyi answered truthfully.
Fang Jie hummed, but his expression didn't seem to change much. But Zhuo Buyi could feel that his anger was on the verge of exploding.
¡°Sir, please go back and help me bring a message to Hou Wenji.¡±
"you say."
"Just say, fuck me."
¡¡
¡¡
Naturally, Zhuo Buyi would not really bring this sentence to Hou Wenji, the governor of Qingya Town, unless he had a grudge against Fang Jie. He knew that Fang Jie was trying hard to suppress his anger, and he also knew that this kind of anger was difficult to control. A rude curse showed that Fang Jie could still control his emotions. If Fang Jie had been acting as if nothing had happened, it would really be bad. There is no way this guy would turn around and leave Chang'an City and run back to Fan Gu with the big dog and the others. go.
"Don't worry, she will be fine."
Zhuo Buyi comforted: "I told you just now that every sect in the world will have its own back-up man. There may be a few perverted old monsters in Qingle Mountain Yiqi Temple, and I am not the only thug in the Ouchi Guards Department." The governor arranged for her to take a long trip because you were still in prison. I think it is not difficult for you to understand why he did this, and it would have been the same if you were sitting in his seat."
"You want me to understand?"
Fang Jie frowned and said, "What the hell? If Mu Xiaoyao doesn't return to Chang'an City in three months, I will go to the grassland immediately. There is no shortage of Fang Jie in Chang'an City, but Fang Jie lacks Mu Xiaoyao!"
"I will tell the governor."
Zhuo Buyi nodded, turned and left the banquet. He first went not far away to find Luo Weiran, the commander of the Ouchi Guards Office, whispered a few words, and then left. Luo Weiran looked towards Fang Jie and shook his head slightly. Fang Jie slowly loosened the fists clenched in his sleeves and lowered his head to drink.
No one noticed that two pieces of the green brick under his feet were broken.
The banquet was going to last until midnight, and Fang Jie, who was so preoccupied, didn't even care who came on the stage and said something after Chen Bo came to them. He raises his glass when others raise his glass, and he still drinks when others don't. Ma Lilian, who was sitting opposite him, glanced at him worriedly, wondering why Fang Jie suddenly became so heavy.
There was singing and dancing throughout the venue, making it a lively event.
Fang Jie seemed to be isolated from this occasion, and his loneliness made people feel distressed. It was the first time for the other students to enter the palace, so they were inevitably curious and excited. Moreover, they don't have a good impression of Fang Jie, so naturally they won't notice his changes. Not far away, several bachelors were splashing ink. It won't be long before a splendid and prosperous article will be published, and everyone in the audience will sincerely admire their knowledge.
But Fang Jie just thought they were noisy and wanted to scold them.
When the bronze bell rings, it means the arrival of midnight. Everyone stood up and toasted to celebrate the arrival of the new year. The emperor accepted the congratulations of the courtiers and people, and then began to say some customary auspicious words. The eunuchs came in carrying trays filled with red envelopes. Everyone knows that there is nothing in the red envelope, but the meaning of this is a reward from His Majesty is naturally different. Fang Jie took the red envelope and stuffed it into his sleeve without even looking at it, which seemed a bit rude.
He excused himself to go to the toilet and opened the red envelope by the light in the toilet. Inside was nine Sui Dynasty coins, which were brand new and seemed to still have the warmth of leaving the mint workshop. It seems stingy for the emperor to reward him with such a small amount, but this kind of thing is just an auspicious meaning.
In addition to the copper coins, there was a small piece of paper in the red envelope, which was written in a slightly hasty handwriting. It was very simple, with only a dozen or so words.
Your Majesty¡¯s words about Prince Yi¡¯s gift were nothing unusual.
This news is meaningless, but Fang Jie is very happy that the little eunuch Mu San has learned how to contact him. This is the first chess piece that Fang Jie has arranged.The son was also the first proof that he had completely integrated into the officialdom of the Sui Dynasty. In this place full of intrigues, Fang Jie must make himself stronger and stronger.
When we went back, the banquet finally came to an end. When Fang Jie passed by Ma Lilian, he said in a low voice: "When you leave the palace, come with me, and I will take you back."
Ma Lilian blushed and nodded subconsciously without daring to answer. At this moment, her heartbeat was indescribably fast. When Fang Jie sat across from him, she couldn't help but think, why didn't she refuse? By nodding so easily, would he think she was a casual woman?
Worry about gains and losses.
When she came out of Tai Chi Palace, Ma Lilian kept a certain distance behind Fang Jie. She didn't know what she was afraid of, but she just didn't have the courage to walk side by side with Fang Jie. Her father was a fifth-grade general, and he had to patrol the city tonight, but he still sent elite veterans from the mansion to wait outside the Tai Chi Palace. The recent assassinations of students from the Yanwu Academy made General Guide uneasy.
"I can go back by myself."
When Ma Lilian arrived at the carriage, she hesitated to say something. After saying it, she regretted it, fearing that Fang Jie would say goodbye.
"boarding"
Fang Jie ignored her words, pointed to his carriage calmly and said, "Let your people follow behind."
"oh¡"
She bowed her head and responded, as if she were a child meeting the teacher for the first time.
The two carriages went one behind the other. Fang Jie's carriage was still driven by Qilin, and the big dog sat beside Qilin. And when Ma Lilian saw the attractive woman in Fang Jie's carriage, she began to regret why she didn't reject Fang Jie. In front of this woman, she felt so ugly and ordinary.
Shen Qingshan's beauty always makes other women uncomfortable.
Shen Qingshan saw this and didn't show anything. He just smiled faintly and said in a very soft voice to Fang Jie's ear: "This girl is interested in you."
Fang Jie frowned slightly and said, "What can make you shut up?"
Shen Qingshan pursed her lips and smiled, then glanced at Fang Jie's crotch unscrupulously. Fang Jie was startled, his face turned red and hot when he saw Shen Qingshan. This woman's nerves are too strong to be defeated. He had tried so hard to beg her to use that little cherry mouth, but it was obviously to gag rather than shut up
The carriage began to speed up after leaving Xuanwu Street, and there were no more pedestrians on the road. A man huddled in a black cloak looked at Fang Jie's carriage in the darkness. He frowned and pondered for a while, then suddenly smiled again, then turned and left at an extremely fast speed.
Half an hour later, he landed lightly in General Guide's house. He looked at it carefully, then chose a room, opened the door and walked in. There were only five or six maids and two old stewards left in the house. The former was already asleep and the latter was playing chess in the concierge. No one noticed that there was an uninvited guest in the young lady's room.
