Chapter 506: Fishing in the Well
Su Buwei kept Fang Jie under the imperial chariot. He kept watching Fang Jie's steps. When he went out, he couldn't help but sigh. He hesitated and called Fang Jie: "General Fang what will happen next?" The steps can be bigger or smaller, especially in front of His Majesty."
Fang Jie didn¡¯t understand this sentence at first, but suddenly he remembered that he had been counting how many steps he had taken since he boarded the chariot, and then his expression changed.
"Thank you, father-in-law!"
He said sincerely.
Su Buwei smiled and waved his hand: "No need to thank me, I am just a servant waiting in front of His Majesty. I have been with Your Majesty for a long time, so I have secretly learned some skills in observing people. Your Majesty likes General Fang to be frank. I also respect General Fang's uprightness, but sometimes some inadvertent actions may offend Tianwei, so it's better not to go beyond the rules. If you finally get to this point, it's a pity that you don't even know it. Already"
Fang Jie clasped his fists: "I've written it down."
Su Buwei nodded with satisfaction: "I was too talkative, so let's just say goodbye. I wish General Fang a successful start."
"Thank you very much"
Fang Jie saluted, then turned and left.
Su Buwei looked at Fang Jie's retreating figure and shook his head after a while. He didn't know whether what he did was right or wrong. Although it might be just a coincidence, this was the most taboo thing for the royal family. As the emperor's closest servant, he actually needed to remind the emperor to pay attention. But he didn't do it in the end. There was a voice in his heart that kept urging him not to ruin the future of a promising young man because of such a trivial matter.
He has been with the emperor for more than ten years, and he has never met anyone who has the same pace as the emperor. There are a total of forty-five steps from boarding the royal chariot to sitting on the dragon throne. You must know that this is carefully crafted by craftsmen according to the size of His Majesty's usual walking steps. His Majesty has been taught court etiquette since he was a child, and there are even rules for every step he takes. And Fang Jie is just a man from a poor family, he doesn't understand this His steps are exactly the same as the emperor's, it's just a coincidence.
Su Buwei turned around and walked into the chariot, putting the matter out of his mind and not thinking about it anymore.
After Fang Jie left the chariot, he went to say goodbye to Jin Shixiong. The two talked for a while before Fang Jie prepared to leave. Just as he said goodbye and walked out of the big tent, he suddenly saw a rather familiar figure standing there in the distance, standing with his back to him and his hands behind his back, as if looking at the scenery. But Fang Jie knew that this person was waiting for him.
Fang Jie walked over, clasped his fists and saluted: "I've met Mr. Hou."
The person waiting for him was none other than Hou Wenji, the former imperial guard and governor of Qingya Town, a man who no one could see through. When he was with the emperor, no one doubted his loyalty. Even after Prince Yi's rebellion, he fled to the northwest, and many people couldn't believe it. And when he was around Li Yuanshan, no matter how Song Qian tried to persuade Li Yuanshan that Li Yuanshan was not trustworthy, he still gained Li Yuanshan's trust.
No matter who he is standing next to, it seems natural, as if he should be standing there.
Now that he is back with the emperor, the news sent before the decisive battle allows the court troops to easily crush Li Yuanshan's last struggle. He may have sent a lot of news to the emperor before this, but this is no longer important. The important thing is that Fang Jie's vigilance against this person has risen to another level.
"I don't have an official position now, so I should be the one to salute you."
Hou Wenji turned around, smiled at him and prepared to salute. Fang Jie quickly supported him and said, "Your Majesty's reinstatement is only a matter of time. Besides, even if you have no official position, you are still my senior, so I should be the one to salute. "
Hou Wenji did not insist and said gently: "Are you leaving?"
Fang Jie nodded: "I'm leaving."
¡°Want to walk with me?¡±
Hou Wenji asked.
Fang Jie nodded and followed Hou Wenji half a step behind.
"You might as well leave now."
Hou Wenji said as he walked: "Although Li Ni was killed and the remnants of the rebels are not a concern, there are still 200,000 Mongolian barbarians behind the imperial army. After Luo Yao's men retreat to Huangyang Road, the barbarian cavalry will never continue. Pursuit. Your Majesty will never allow those barbarians to leave from the northwest, so the real war has not yet begun. The remnants of Li Yuanshan's rebel army are nothing compared to the two hundred thousand wolf riders."
"Your Majesty did not mention this matter."
Fang Jie answered.
Hou Wenjiruo gave Fang Jie a thoughtful look, smiled and said, "You are becoming more and more cautious."
Fang Jie smiled, noWhether it is possible or not.
"Your Majesty values ??you very much, which is a good thing."
Hou Wenji said: "I came to see you for nothing important. I just want to tell you something about Prince Zhong. Everyone says that you are his disciple, and you said so yourself, but I know that he and you There may not be any close relationship, but in any case, I think you should be very interested in his news."
"yes"
Fang Jie nodded: "Prince Zhong has been very kind to me."
Hou Wenji sighed and said: "The people who have helped you are very happy because they have met someone who knows how to repay kindness. Your Majesty also values ??this about you, and I also appreciate this about you."
"My lord has also helped me."
Fang explained.
Hou Wenji shook his head: "No, you were not a person worthy of my special care when we were in Chang'an. Now I realize that my vision is not as high as I always thought. I once misjudged two people. The first The first one is Zhou Banchuan, the director of the Yanwu Academy, but he is too high. It turns out that he is just a servant standing in front of a giant. The second one is you I think that you are too low, but luckily not yet. It¡¯s too late.¡±
Fang Jie listened quietly without interrupting.
"If I guess correctly, His Majesty will let you guard Qingxia, right?"
"yes"
"Well, in that case, you should have nothing important to do for a while. Prince Zhong is not dead yet, but he doesn't seem to be free. If you have time while waiting for Meng Yuan Barbarian to return to the army, you can go and explore . You have to think about it yourself.
He lowered his voice and said a few words in Fang Jie's ear, and Fang Jie's expression immediately changed.
"Why do you need to tell me?"
Fang explained the question.
Hou Wenji was silent for a while, stopped and looked at the sky: "Because His Majesty stabbed Luo Yao in the back with the knife of the Meng Yuan people, Luo Yao will never be able to bear it. You have seen Luo Yao, Maybe he doesn't know Luo Yao well enough. What I can tell you is that if Luo Yao doesn't intend to follow the rules openly, but relies on his unrivaled cultivation to assassinate the emperor, no one can stop him. There is only one person in the world who can do it, and it can only be Prince Zhong."
"There is still an old director of the Yanwu Academy."
Fang explained.
"The old dean is too old."
Hou Wenji sighed: "I am too old to leave that majestic city."
Fang Jie nodded: "No matter why, I will go."
"I know you will go."
Hou Wenji looked at the sky and murmured: "Actually, you may not understand until now why the Meng Yuan Langqi acted according to His Majesty's ideas. Because it was not acting according to His Majesty's ideas at all, but according to the Meng Yuan people. Act according to your own ideas. You haven't come into contact with the secrets of that level yet, but I'm beginning to believe that sooner or later you will climb that high, or even higher. The Wolf Cavalry failed to kill Luo Yao with human lives in the raid. Things will be difficult to deal with The world will be in chaos, but it will not only be the Sui Dynasty. "
After saying this, Hou Wenji turned around and walked away.
Fang Jie looked at his back, thinking carefully about what he just said, but found that he really had no clue. At this moment, he suddenly realized that he still underestimated Hou Wenji. This man who seemed to be standing at the highest point in the world might have seen many truths that he should not have seen, but he was unwilling to tell them. He was like a spectator, just waiting for things to happen and then be over.
¡¡
¡¡
On this trip, what Fang Jie saw was actually not what Fang Jie had expected. He originally thought that the emperor planned to exchange his remaining life for the lives of Li Yuanshan, Luo Yao and the two hundred thousand barbarian wolf riders, but now it seems that everything is not as tragic as he imagined. The emperor was still alive and Li Yuanshan was defeated. The Meng Yuan barbarians launched troops against Luo Yao, but Luo Yao retreated.
He originally thought that if he could save the emperor's life, he would do his best, but now the biggest gain in this line of work is to kill Li Yuanshan with his own hands.
When he returned to his camp, Fang Jie kept thinking about Hou Wenji's words in his mind. He said that Meng Yuanmanzi's 200,000 wolf riders had a deeper reason for attacking Luo Yao. Analyzing this reason from Hou Wenji's words, it seems that Manzi's goal was to kill Luo Yao.
People from the Buddhist sect want to kill Luo Yao, and the Meng Yuan army also wants to kill Luo Yao. Why is this?
What is Luo Yao¡¯s identity?
This name was like a needle pricking Fang Jie's heart, making him always on guard against dangers that might suddenly come at any time. Because no matter what Luo Yao's identity is, it is certain that Luo Yao likes his body. To explain the current strength,If Luo Yao really came, there seemed to be no room for resistance.
How strong Luo Yao is, perhaps only Luo Yao himself knows.
As Hou Wenji said, if Luo Yao didn't want to play anymore, he could appear in front of the emperor alone, avoiding everyone, and then kill the emperor easily. Wan Xingchen was in Chang'an City, and Luo Yao might be too taboo to kill the prince. But will there be any masters around the emperor who can stop Luo Yao? If so, Hou Wenji would not have such worries
Fang Jie thought of Su Buwei, then shook his head and rejected this person. Su Buwei's cultivation must be very strong, otherwise the emperor wouldn't have him by his side all the time. But Fang Jie didn't think Su Buwei was Luo Yao's opponent. Hou Wenji definitely knew this man better than Fang Jie.
"What did the emperor say?"
Seeing Fang Jie, Mu Xiaoyao was stunned and couldn't help but ask.
"nothing"
Fang Jie pulled himself out of his thoughts, smiled and shook his head: "I just got promoted again, and now your man is already a marquis."
Mu Xiaoyao smiled: "The important thing is that you don't have to stay with the emperor. This is why our hearts feel at ease. For some reason, Qingshan and I both feel that it is not a good thing for you to stay with the emperor."
"maybe."
Fang Jie saw the emperor's old face in his mind, and couldn't help but sigh heavily in his heart.
He ordered the cavalry to reorganize and leave immediately after taking enough food and grass. The emperor sent someone to allocate a batch of armor and equipment, but he did not give him an extra soldier. This cavalry team of 3,000 people will have to bring at least 200 carts with them when they return, and the journey will certainly not be too fast.
Just when Fang Jie left the camp, he saw a dilapidated village not far from the camp. At first, Fang Jie didn't notice anything different about this village. When his eyes had left, he suddenly turned back with a thought in his heart. He saw a well platform under a dead tree at the entrance of the village. There was an old man in coarse cloth sitting cross-legged on the well platform, holding a fishing rod high. The fishing line was hanging in the well mouth. It looked like he was fishing in the well.
Fang Jie stared blankly at the old man he had never seen before, stopping there and forgetting to move on.
What can he catch by fishing in a broken well in a run-down village?
