It was still dark when Fang got up, so he went outside to the yard to get water and wash himself. Before he finished wiping his face, he saw the little eunuch Mu San walking in with a smile holding some clothes.
"Good morning, Mr. Xiaofang."
Mu San greeted him politely and said with a smile: "You came back late from Dongnuan Pavilion last night, so I didn't dare to disturb you. I was afraid of missing something, so I got up early this morning to give you clothes. This The three sets are the uniforms of the Forbidden Army Colonel. Master Xiaofang, you three will try them on in a while. If they don¡¯t fit me, I¡¯ll get another three sets.¡±
He handed the clothes to Fang Jie: "Your Majesty gave instructions before going to bed last night. When the time comes to leave the palace, Mr. Xiao Fang, you will follow His Majesty's jade chariot. The Forbidden Army has informed you that they will help you." Leave a seat. Your Majesty asked you to come closer and give me any instructions."
Fang Jie thanked him, and Mu San lowered his voice and confessed: "Your Majesty does not intend to bring the business camp out of the palace. If Mr. Fang wants to persuade your Majesty today, it is better to forget it. Eunuch Su persuaded him for a long time last night." His Majesty didn¡¯t agree. I don¡¯t know why he insisted on not bringing it to the camp. Maybe he had other plans?¡±
Fang Jie thought for a while and said, "Can you follow His Majesty out of the palace?"
Mu San shook his head: "I was on duty last night and have a day off today. I would like to follow, but it's a pity that I am not the one who arranged it."
"That's good"
Fang Jie thought for a moment and said, "Help me keep an eye on Cishou Palace."
Mu Sanyi was startled and opened his mouth slightly: "Master Xiaofang, are you afraid of something happening to the Queen Mother?"
Fang Jie nodded and said, "There's nothing wrong with keeping a close eye on something."
Mu San hummed and said, "I'll take my leave now, I wish Master Xiaofang to achieve success as soon as possible."
Fang Jie smiled and said thank you, then went back holding the clothes. Shen Qingshan and Mu Xiaoyao were already up when he entered the room. It was obvious that it was not comfortable for either of them to sleep on the same bed. After all, there has been no intimacy between the two of them for so many years. Although Shen Qingshan's temperament has changed a lot now, Mu Xiaoyao can't change it for a while.
Fang Jie knew from the looks on their faces that neither of them had slept well, maybe not at all. He handed the clothes over and said with a smile: "If I had known that you two would not be able to sleep well in the bed, I might as well have squeezed in last night. One on the left and one on the right will sleep with me, so you will get used to it."
Shen Qingshan glanced at Mu Xiaoyao, smiled and said, "If senior sister is willing, then there's nothing I don't want to do."
These words made Mu Xiaoyao's face immediately turn red. Fang Jie gave Fang Jie a blank look and quickly went out to wash up. Fang Jie looked at Shen Qingshan and thought that your competitive temperament had calmed down a lot.
"Are you serious?"
he asks.
Shen Qingshan nodded and said with a charming smile: "Really, as long as the senior sister nods, I will definitely nod. If the two of us can't help but compete in martial arts on the bed, I don't know if we will add another one to the palace. eunuch."
Fang Jie smiled and said: "What good will it do you if I become a eunuch? Girls and other things are the most boring thing."
Shen Qingshan didn't understand Fang Jie's words, but he also knew that they were definitely not good words. He took a set of clothes from Fang Jie and went into the back room to change. Fang Jie smiled and said, "It's not like I've never seen him before. Why are you avoiding me?" Shen Qingshan looked back with a smile and said, "I'm not afraid to take it off right here. Do you dare to let me take it off?" Aren't you afraid that your little sister will be jealous if she sees you?
Fang Jie retreated in defeat and changed clothes in the outer room. The attire of this imperial captain included a set of cotton armor, which looked like armor, but actually had no function other than aesthetics. There are several types of clothing for the Forbidden Army. Generally, they do not wear iron armor, but wear cotton armor instead.
After the three of them had changed their clothes, a palace maid brought breakfast. Fang Jie looked at the exquisite snacks and couldn't help but mutter to himself: "The emperor's mind seems not to be confused at all. He even remembered to order people to send us some food. I still don't understand why he is so sure. ¡±
"Because he is the emperor"
Shen Qingshan said slowly while eating: "Even if he is not sure, he will not show that he is not sure."
Hearing this sentence, Fang Jie was startled.
Shunde Inn in Chang'an City
Liu Huizheng, the fourth direct disciple of Master Zhang in Wudang Mountain, got up earlier than Fang Xie. He specially put on a brand new Taoist robe. Different from the previous robes that were no different from those of ordinary Taoists, the clothes he wore today looked very grand.
The dark blue Taoist robe, the apricot belt, and the Tai Chi picture on the chest are particularly eye-catching.
After changing clothes?Liu Huizheng looked back at the old Taoist: "Uncle, can you leave?"
The Taoist who looked old and could hardly walk asked with a wry smile: "Can I not go?"
Liu Huizheng shook his head: "Are you willing to watch us die?"
The old Taoist almost blurted out the words that a dead Taoist friend should not die from a poor Taoist, but after looking at Liu Huizheng's solemn expression, he could only swallow it hard. He walked out tremblingly while cursing: "Both your master and you are not good people. I still have to fight at such an old age!"
Liu Huizheng said seriously: "Master said, you are still young."
The old Taoist was startled and couldn't help cursing: "I was the youngest among the four brothers. I know that my qualifications are also the worst, so my cultivation is not as good as your master's. But I think I still have hope of becoming a Wudang Boss Shan, because I¡¯m younger than them, I¡¯m not as good as them but I can kill them, damn it¡those old guys are still alive than me, I-fuck!¡±
Liu Huizheng said with a twitching corner of his mouth: "Uncle, your oral ethics"
The old Taoist cleared his throat and said, "You heard me wrong just now. I didn't say I was fucked. I said Immeasurable Heavenly Lord."
The Taoists at the back couldn't help but smile, but they didn't dare to laugh out loud.
Liu Huizheng went to the counter to pay the bill. The shopkeeper smiled and said that the immortal will come again next time. Liu Huizheng actually answered seriously: "Maybe there will be no next time."
He went out and stopped a carriage passing through the city. The coachman asked politely: "Where are you going?"
Liu Huizheng looked at the quiet street, took a deep breath and said three words.
"Martial Arts Academy"

? Red Sleeve Moves
Four large cars were parked in front of the door, and the girls who were going to attend the military dispatch ceremony today also got up early to dress up. All the clothes and props had been loaded into the car, and the old lame man sat crookedly on the side of a carriage and drank wine in sips. He didn't know how he never fell unconscious after drinking so much wine every day.
The young master stood at the door and carefully counted things, and from time to time ordered people to do things.
Seeing that everything was almost installed, she turned around, picked up her skirt, and hurried up to the third floor. Stopping at the door of Aunt Xi's room, she knocked on the door and asked, "Auntie, do you want to leave now?"
The door creaked open from the inside, and Xi Huamei, dressed in fine clothes, walked out of the room. She held a long and slender wooden box in her hand, handed it to the young master and said, "Give it to Candlewick."
The moment he saw this slender wooden box, Xiao Dingdian¡¯s expression changed slightly: ¡°That one is this?¡±
Xi Huamei nodded and said: "Now I have left you to take care of the red sleeve moves inside and out. You have done a good job. In a few years, the red sleeve move will become more and more popular in your hands. I Since you are planning to retreat, you must pass on all the things that should be passed down to you. You will be the head of Hongxiuzhao in the future, and Zhuxin is the owner of Hongxiuzhao, so this thing should belong to her. ¡±
Xi Huamei looked at the wooden box with an expression that seemed to be a little nostalgic: "When that person gave this thing to me, I liked the name. I believe Candlewick will also like it, andshe is now I¡¯m already qualified to use this thing.¡±
Xiao Ding nodded and left quickly.
When she handed the long wooden box to Xi Zhuxin, Xi Zhuxin was obviously surprised. She took the wooden box and opened it slowly. She didn't know why, but her hands were shaking slightly.
Xiao Dingdian knows how important this thing is and how closely it is related to the candle wick. She walked over, took Xi Zhuwick's arm and said, "Miss, since I have given you this thing, or when we come back, I will tell you exactly what happened back then."
Xi Zhuxin nodded and held the wooden box in his arms.
"Let's go."
As she walked forward, she seemed to be looking at the wooden box. Back then, that man gave this thing to Xi Huamei, so the Red Sleeve Move was created. Back then, the man gave her and this thing to Xi Huamei, so the Xi candle wick was born.
Just as the girls with red sleeves were about to get in the car, a woman wearing a blue floral cotton dress suddenly walked over from the street. It seems that this woman is not very old, with a delicate face and exquisite facial features. Although she is dressed a bit rustic, she is really a beauty.
If she were a few years younger, she might be able to make men fall to her knees one by one under her skirt.
"Take me with you"
This woman walked up to Xi Huamei with a calm tone.? said.
Xi Huamei frowned slightly: "Why do you want to follow my Hongxiu Zhao?"
The woman in the cotton floral dress is of course Du Hongxian, the proprietress of Fangu Dog Meat Shop, but she and Xi Huamei don¡¯t seem to know each other very well.
"Because the red sleeves are full of women."
The landlady said seriously: "When Fang Jie found me two days ago, he asked me to go to the military dispatch ceremony with you. I didn't want to agree, but Fang Jie said that only in a place full of women would no one notice me. I think It seemed to make sense, so I nodded."
Xi Huamei was silent for a moment and then said: "Get in the car. Since Fang Jie asked you to follow the red sleeve moves, he must have his plan."
The landlady didn¡¯t say a word, turned around and got into a carriage casually. As soon as she sat down, she smelled a strong smell of alcohol. After looking sideways, she couldn't help but sigh: "Fang Jie said that all the women in the red sleeves are women, so are you?"
The old cripple curled his lips: "How about I show it to you?"
The landlady smiled and said, "I am only interested in strong men."
The old lame man hummed and said, "Then you are thirty years too late."
"drink wine?"
he asks.
The landlady took out a jug from the package and said proudly: "I only drink the pear blossom wine I brewedbut unfortunately, it's the last jug and I haven't been willing to drink it."
The old lame man asked: "I was reluctant to let go before, why am I willing to let go today?"
The landlady didn¡¯t uncork the wine, and he was already half drunk.
The landlady smiled and said, "I didn't want to drink it because I knew I had plenty of time to wait for the wine to be mellower before drinking it. But Fang Jie found me that day, and after I agreed to him, I suddenly realized that I didn't know if I could still drink it. How long can I live, so I plan to drink it.¡±
"Can youlet me have a taste?"
The old cripple said almost pleadingly.
The landlady thought for a while and nodded: "Drink, but there is a requirement."
"you say!"
The old lame man said anxiously.
The landlady was silent for a while and suddenly smiled: "Actually, the reason why I don't drink this pot of wine is not because I don't want to part with it, but because I plan to leave it to my man. Although my man is very ugly, he is not an upright man, and he does not have a huge fortune. But he He is a good man He went to the northwest, and he said that he would never come back, but I think he will come back. I left this bottle of wine for him I promised to drink it for you, but I can only drink half of it. Leave half for him."
"Why?"
The old cripple asked: "Why don't you reject me and keep it for yourself until he comes back?"
The lady boss said softly: "I just said it because I don't know if I can survive today. But I know that you should have a higher probability of surviving than me, because you are a little taller than me If I die, you Live and leave half a bottle of wine for my man. If I don¡¯t die, you have to give it back to me.¡±
"good!"
The old cripple nodded vigorously.
The landlady handed the jug to the old cripple. The old cripple took it but did not drink. Instead, he tied the jug to his waist very seriously: "If you die, I will drink with your man after I find him. "
