Chapter 212: Testing you, testing him, testing me, every step of the way is startling
Prince Yi Yang Yin asked seemingly casually, do you think the war against Meng Yuan was right or wrong? If this word gets out, even if Yang Yin is a prince, he will not be able to escape punishment. Questioning the emperor, and questioning the emperor during such a major war, Fang Jie did not expect that Yang Yin would be so presumptuous.
Logically speaking, he had only met Yang Yin a few times. Although he accepted Yang Yin's soft armor and Chaolu sword one after another, Yang Yin was not an idiot, how could he be so careless? But Fang Jie soon understood Yang Yin's intention, so his heart tightened slightly.
Fang Jie frowned and didn't answer.
Yang Yin laughed and said: "I'm just scaring you. How could your Majesty's decision be wrong? The Meng Yuan Barbarians are dominating the northwest and are eyeing them. This battle will be fought sooner or later. Instead of waiting for the barbarian army to invade the border, it is better to take the initiative to fight out. , Your Majesty has been preparing for this war for twelve years, and there is nothing wrong with it.¡±
Fang Jiexin said that the one in case is you.
Yang Yin changed the subject and said: "You have served in the army for three years in Fangu and are still the deputy of the scout team. Come tell me about the Meng Yuan barbarians. I heard that the women in Meng Yuan are all big and thick, and they are more beautiful than others. Men are still more ferocious, capturing galloping horses with their hands, and catching cattle and sheep with their strength, but is it true? "
Fang Jie laughed and said: "How can it be so outrageous? Meng Yuan women are also women, how can the same people be so different? It's just that they are exposed to the wind and sun all day long on the grassland, and they do not look as good as our Sui women. Their skin is very dark, and their bodies are indeed strong, but they are not as good as men. If they can catch cattle and sheep with their hands, what else do they need from men?"
Yang Yin smiled and said: "That's right. Gu Huan said, if they are stronger and more fierce than men, how can the men of Meng Yuan live?"
This was a pun, and the two beauties waiting for him to drink could not help but smile. Yang Yin held one in his arms, kissed a woman on the face and said with a smile: "What are you laughing at? If you continue to act recklessly, I will send someone to send you to the Mengyuan grassland to sell you to those barbarians. See if you still Do you have the energy to laugh?"
A woman coquettishly said: "Your Majesty, please spare us. We still have to stay alive to serve Your Majesty."
Shen Qingshan frowned slightly, looking a little unhappy. She is a strong person, and she hates women being willing to be humble. If he hadn't been in the palace at this moment, I'm afraid he would have been slapped in the face. Just when she was suppressing her anger, her hands suddenly felt warm. She looked sideways and found Fang Jie holding her hand under the table. Fang Jie shook his head slightly at her, his eyes gentle. Shen Qingshan's face turned slightly red, and he turned his palm over to hold Fang Jie's hand.
"I asked you to be more serious but you are so annoying. If you annoy the guests, I will see how I will deal with you!"
Yang Yin teased a few words, then sat up straight and said: "Juexiao, you also know that Gu Zhen has such a lazy temperament. He may discuss a few court affairs in his spare time, but Gu Zhen does not have the heart to worry about court affairs ¡His Majesty is the wisest emperor since the founding of the Sui Dynasty, and his decisions will naturally be correct, so you don¡¯t have to take the joke just now.¡±
He glanced at Fang Jie and said, "But you are different. Sooner or later, you will return to the army. Therefore, I really want to hear what you have to say about the Battle of the Northwest."
¡°Students dare not have opinions.¡±
Fang Jie lowered his head and said, "As the prince said just now, your majesty's decisions are never wrong, so what else do students need to know? The Sui Dynasty will definitely win this battle."
"well said!"
Yang Yin asked someone to relieve Fang's wine: "The Sui Dynasty will definitely win. By the way, have you met Prince Xu? In the past, Gu was the closest to him in the capital. Didn't the people in Chang'an say that Gu was the best in the world?" A charming person, Prince Xu is the second best in the world."
"The students have never seen it."
Fang Jiedao.
Yang Yin smiled and said: "Then tell me, he, the second most popular person in the world, can lead an army to conquer the Meng Yuan Dynasty, and he is the best in the world, can he do this job?"
"The prince is drunk, and so are the students."
Fang Jie lowered his head and said: "The wine in the prince's house is very strong. The student has just drank two glasses and his mind is a little unclear. He is groggy, his eyes are a little blurred, and his vision is shaky. The prince just now What was said, the student couldn't remember at all. What the student said was forgotten The student was so drunk that he asked the prince to spare the student, because he couldn't drink anymore. "
"You are too weak. You just started drinking and you got drunk"
Yang Yin laughed and said: "In that case, I won't leave you alone anymore. Just go back and rest with your beauty. You can come to Gu's palace at any time, but next timeDon't bring a fan with you. I'll find two upright officials for you who haven't opened their buds yet. I guarantee the taste will be very different, haha! "
Fang Jie stood up, cupped his fists and said goodbye. Shen Qingshan also saluted, and then followed Fang Jie and left the third floor. After getting off the ship along the spiral staircase, Shen Qingshan took Fang Jie's hand from behind, her palms feeling a little cold. Fang Jie turned around and smiled at her, then took her hand and walked out.
Yang Yin walked out from the third floor, holding on to the railing, looking at the backs of the pair and smiling. I don¡¯t know what the meaning behind that smile is.
I don¡¯t know when, the steward named Qin Liuqi appeared next to Yang Yin. He leaned slightly and asked: "Your Majesty, do you think this son can be used?"
Yang Yin smiled and shook his head: "Between whether he can use it or not, he should still be grateful and respectful to Gu's fourth brother, so he didn't dare to answer when Xi Jiangu tried several times. But that's okay, it proves that he is not If he approached Gu on purpose, he would not behave in a humble or arrogant manner, and would probably follow Gu's words. Also, if he approached Gu on the orders of others, he would not bring Shen Qingshan with him at all times. There is a master following him. He doesn¡¯t trust Gu. If he wants to get close to Gu, he won¡¯t be stupid enough to let Gu feel his distrust.¡±
"He only appreciates the emperor if he is kind to him."
Qin Liuqi said with a smile: "But the prince treats him better, and he will come here sooner or later."
"Hopefully"
Yang Yin nodded and said: "I like this young man more and more. It's better to be grateful. Otherwise, if I have invested so much money, wouldn't it be a loss to raise a white-eyed wolf?"
¡¡
¡¡
Fang Jie took Shen Qingshan's hand and walked out, not caring about the looks of those in the palace. There are many martial arts practitioners in this palace, as well as many beautiful young women. Especially these women looked at Fang Jie and Shen Qingshan holding hands with envy in their eyes.
As he approached the door, a young man wearing a scholar's robe came towards him. This man looked to be in his mid-twenties, with a slender figure and a handsome face. He walked across from Fang Jie and greeted with a slight nod and a smile. Fang Jie nodded in return and passed the man.
When Fang Jie walked to the door, he saw Qilin's carriage waiting there at the corner of the street. He waved to Qilin, who immediately drove over. Fang Jie and Shen Qing got on the carriage, frowned and thought for a while and said, "I should have seen that young man just now."
After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly remembered: "That day, Professor Qiu and I were looking for classmates to return to the martial arts academy in Chang'an City. This man walked past the door of my shop. When I went out, he was sitting at Lao Wang's stall eating. Hot noodle soup.¡±
"You have a good memory."
Shen Qingfan smiled and said.
"That's not right"
Fang Jie shook his head slightly.
Shen Qingfan was startled: "What's wrong?"
Fang Jie said: "Since he is from the palace, he naturally has no worries about food and clothing But I remember very clearly how he ate noodles that day. He devoured it as if he hadn't eaten a serious meal in a long time. A person who can How can people walking around the palace be so uncivilized even when eating a bowl of hot noodle soup? "
Shen Qingshan shook his head: "What does this have to do with it? Maybe he was just taken into the house by Yang Yin."
Fang explained: "I was wondering, was it intentional that he appeared outside my shop that day, or was it just a coincidence? If it was intentional, it means Yang Yin sent someone to monitor me. If it was a coincidence"
He sighed and said: "Forget it, there are too many headaches than this, why bother worrying about such a person Yang Yin deliberately pretended to be crazy and stupid today, just to test me. I don't know if my performance is to hide You can hold him back, but this person is definitely not really obsessed with Feng Yue. The warriors in the yard are said to be Jianghu people, but a few of them use the boxing skills practiced in the military. One of them still has an arrow wound on his body. Ordinary warriors, There are very few arrow wounds. Those people are most likely veterans Also, I touched the side of the ship when I got on it. It is very strong. There should be an iron layer inside. This ship is so strong. I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not just as simple as trying to block the wind and rain.¡±
"But that ship really can't set sail."
Shen Qingshan said.
Fang Jie hummed and thought about it carefully: "He shouldn't have brought us to the top of the boat. He wanted to test me, so he deliberately pretended to have nothing to hide The more a person pretends not to care, the easier it actually is. What kind of flaw was revealed? Standing on the top of the ship, you can overlook the palace city, and you can clearly see the movement of the Imperial Army. I don¡¯t believe that he just wanted to enjoy the snow scene That was because he deliberately diverted his attention after he realized that he had made a mistake. "
"This trip is worthwhile."
He sighed and said: "This Prince Yiis a bit interesting."?¡±
Prince Yi¡¯s Mansion
Qin Liuqi glanced at the young man who came closer, frowned slightly and asked, "Aren't you worried that he will recognize your appearance? Why did you bump into him on purpose?"
The young man smiled and said: "In fact, he didn't remember my appearance at all. I tested him once outside his shop. If I test him again this time, if he is really impressed, his expression will not change at all. The true meaning of Banyue Mountain The only ones who remember my face are those students, and I have killed most of them. There are only two leftthe daughter of General Guide and the son of Sanqi Changshi."
"You've been more honest lately."
Prince Yi Yang Yin looked at him coldly and said: "Except for what Gu asked you to do, you are not allowed to do anything else. Fang Henshui People from the Ouchi Guards have gone down to Jiangnan to arrest your parents. , If you don¡¯t want all three of you to die without a burial place, you¡¯d better keep Gu¡¯s words in mind.¡±
The young man's expression changed, and he leaned over and said: "I know, now that I have entered the palace, I have given my life to the prince. Please rest assured, the prince will not do anything wrong."
Yang Yin nodded: "You are a smart person, Gu has no doubt about this. You want to get ahead, and you want to be a master With your identity and your sins, who else can help you achieve this goal besides Gu?" What you want? If you want to be a big shot, you must do what you should do first. You will not treat someone who is loyal to you. Of course you will not tolerate someone who causes trouble to you. I know you want to kill Fang Jie ¡just bear with it.¡±
"Here!"
Fang Henshui nodded with a humble attitude.
"Go ahead"
Yang Yin waved his hand: "Although you have good cultivation, your ability to kill is not very good. There are many good killers in the Snake Guard. You should learn more."
Fang Henshui leaned over, bowed and left.
After he left, Yang Yin snorted coldly and said: "A person like this will never be able to stand on the stage. He is self-righteous It can be used as a dagger, but not as an arm."
"Where's Fang Jie?"
Qin Liuqi asked.
Yang Yin was silent for a while: "Let's take a look again, that guy is not easy to tame. And tell the people of the Snake Guard to stop recently. Someone at the Ouchi Guards has noticed something. Let them report the activities. Put the place far away. It's still early to use the Snake Guard anyway That guy named Zhang Kuang is now the deputy of the Snake Guard? He and Fang Jie have a very good relationship in private Let him get close to Fang Jie and take a look. Did my fourth brother let Fang Jie come over on purpose?"
"Here"
Qin Liuqi responded: "I will do it now."
He smiled and said: "My subordinates like people like Zhang Kuang the most. He only loves money People like this are the best to use."
