    Chapter 1,211 City East City West City Yanyang City Fifteen Miles East City This is a small village that cannot be found on the Sui territory map. It is not because the village is small or remote, but because the village is  It's so new that it couldn't have appeared on the last map printed in the Sui Dynasty decades ago.  Until the reign of God Bless Emperor Yang Yi, the standard maps required by the military also used versions from decades ago.  This village has been established for no more than four years.  When Luo Yao entered Gyeonggi Province, a large number of people in Gyeonggi Province fled.  Their first choice is near Yanyang City, because it is rich enough and there are no thieves.  In addition, Gao Xianze took good care of the people who had fled here and specially set aside some places for them to build villages to live in. Therefore, the number of people living in Shunchengdao has increased rapidly in recent years.  There are no inns in the village, but there is a small tea shop on the roadside.  This shop is extremely deserted on weekdays because few people pass by here.  The owners of this shop are an old couple. Both of their sons died in the war in Gyeonggi Province. The couple was brought here by their nephew to take refuge. Halfway through, the nephew caught a cold and died.  died.  The old couple settled here with their nephew and their children, living off the meager tea money.  The people in the village take good care of them and come here from time to time to send them food and vegetables.  Today, after noon, a dozen people in bright clothes and angry horses stopped outside the village and rested in a tea shop.  They brought their own tea and even water, but they just borrowed the kettle from the shop to boil the water.  A servant cleaned the kettle four times, which made the old couple feel a little distressed.  However, these people were generous and threw out a silver ingot worth ten taels.  ¡°For poor people, this is simply a huge windfall.  Lao Tiantian peeked out from time to time in the house and found that the middle-aged man with kind features but a gloomy expression must be the leader of these people.  Sitting there, this person naturally has a kind of power.  "Master" A strong man rushed over from a distance, lowered his voice and whispered in the middle-aged man's ear: "After lunch, Fang Jie and Wu talked for a while in the room, but obviously there was something wrong.  Beware. When Niu Qi heard this, they were really suspicious of Dugu Wenxiu. After half an hour, Wu Dao left and Fang Jie slept in the room for a while. Niu Qi said that he was not breathing evenly. "  "Then Fang Jie sent someone to call Gao Xianze, and the two of them left the house and went to the river in the east of the city, talking while walking. The place was too open for our people to get through. After Fang Jie and Gao Xianze left,  Zhou Queer went into the room and checked. There were no traces of use on the pens, inks, papers and inkstones in the room. He looked carefully at the papers and there was no trace of writing. " After the man finished speaking, he stood aside and waited for instructions.  The middle-aged man sitting there sipping tea listened carefully and frowned slightly.  He was silent for a while and then asked the man wearing a bamboo hat sitting opposite: "Brother Dugu, what do you think?" The man sitting in front of him raised his head, it was Dugu Bingwen.  "Your Ye family raises eagles, dogs, snakes, and rats. These information should be fairly reliable. Even if Fang Jie was shocked, he would not be able to detect Niu Qi. Niu Qi has no cultivation and only has good ears. All of his current performances  It's not that he discovered anything, it's just a habit. He chose to meet Gao Xianze in an open place because he was worried about someone eavesdropping. " Dugu Bingwen said: "If it were you.  If you trust Gao Xianze, what will you do?" Ye Manwen thought carefully for a long time and suddenly understood: "Brother Dugu means that Fang Jie can't trust Gao Xianze at all?" "Yeah" Dugu Bingwen nodded: "What if I  If you trust someone, you will not expose that person. Especially at such a critical moment, it is the stupidest thing to do to expose the person you trust. He and Gao Xianze avoided talking to others by the river. On the surface, they didn't want to.  Let others know what they talked about, and then make people think that he is trying to win over Gao Xianze In fact, it is not the case. Isn't this an attitude when two people are walking by the river? He has already sold Gao Xianze. It has to be said that Fang Jie  He is a smart man." Ye Manwen nodded: "He wants to tell us in this way that he wants to win over Gao Xianze. If we are fooled, we will rush to get rid of Gao Xianze." Dugu Bingwen said after thinking for a while.  : "Originally our intention was to get rid of Gao Xianze. We haven't been able to control this invulnerable guy yet. Keeping him will be a disaster sooner or later. Although we are taking the path of Dugu Wenxiu, let him send people and Gao Xianze.Contacted by ?ze.  But Gao Xianze is also a smart man, and he must have guessed that there is someone behind Dugu Wenxiu.  He just couldn't know who was behind Dugu Wenxiu.  " "Then will Fang Jie trust Gao Xianze after a long conversation?  Ye Manwen asked. Dugu Bingwen was silent for a while, then slowly shook his head: "It doesn't matter anymore, Gao Xianze has no value."  A person like Fang Jie will never look back once he makes a decision.  I suspect that he wants to use Gao Xianze to test our abilities.  When he sold Gao Xianze like this, he must have hoped that we would take action to get rid of Gao Xianze In this way, Fang Jie could use this to see how capable we are.  " "Haha" Ye Manwen couldn't help but laugh: "I didn't expect that Fang Jie, who has a reputation for benevolence and righteousness all over the world, could be so ruthless.  " "Benevolence and righteousness?"  !  " Dugu Bingwen snorted coldly: "Things that are not worth a penny.  " Ye Manwen took a sip of tea, looked around and couldn't help but ask: "I just don't understand, why do you have to run out so far?  Why not in the west of the city, but in the east?  " Dugu Bingwen asked back: "If you were Fang Jie, would you have thought of us coming to the east of the city?  Chang'an City is obviously in the west, so he would think that our people are also in the west of Yanyang City.  It's just a few dozen more miles to travel, and besides, it's still clean here.  " Ye Manwen was surprised and said with a smile: "You are always so careful.  " "We are going to sail the ship of ten thousand years.  " Dugu Bingwen said seriously: "How could you be careless?  "     Xiaoque River This river is not well-known at all, that is, the people near Yanyang City know its existence. The river is not wide or deep enough, and the widest point is only more than ten meters. And there are no lines on both sides of the river bank.  There are no trees on the bare river bank, and there is nothing to say about it. Even the most passionate literati can't write about a small river with no highlights like ours.  There is one dozens of miles away, but it is not beautiful either. ¡°Standing on this embankment, people with good eyesight can see the prince and I from a long distance.  " Gao Xianze couldn't help but smile, a little bitterly: "It seems that the prince has already chosen the terrain. He knew that there was such a place here before entering Yangyang City.  As long as the prince and I walk around here, even if the prince just asks me if there are any famous actors in Yanyang City, or which brothel has the most lovely girls I'm afraid tomorrow morning, I  The head will be marked with a price.  Fang Jie also smiled: "Do you think I'm selling you out?"  " Gao Xianze asked back: "Isn't the prince selling me out?  " "I'm protecting you.  " Fang Jie replied. Gao Xianze was stunned for a moment and didn't understand. He knew full well that when Fang Jie came to Yanyang City, those who wanted to get rid of Fang Jie were fully aware of it. And he was sure that maybe somewhere, someone was observing with clairvoyance.  Following every move here, it won't take long for the news that he and Fang Jie have been meeting side by side for a long time to spread. This will undoubtedly tell those people that he, Gao Xianze, is already Fang Jie's person.  His death was almost here, but he actually told him that he was trying to protect him, "Why do you want to bully me like this?"  " Gao Xianze said with some disappointment. "You just didn't think it through.  " Fang Jie stood by the river with his hands behind his hands: "I walked side by side with you like this and walked so far. Those people don't know what we talked about, but our attitude has been expressed.  You think I'm selling you out because you think I'm telling those people that I trust you.  As long as I trust you, your danger will come, right?  " "Isn't it?  " Gao Xianze asked back. "No" Fang Jie said seriously: "You are only in danger if I don't talk to you, or even see you with a cold face.  They know my attitude towards you and use it to judge.  It seems like I'm trying to win over you, and the first reaction of those people is that you want to be on my side.  What about the second reaction?  Few people who do great things believe in their first instincts.  Because your first impression will be 90% wrong, especially when facing a cunning enemy.  " "They will wonder, is this what Fang Jie did deliberately?  Could it be that Fang Jie deliberately wanted us to get rid of Gao Xianze?  Why did Fang Jie want to get rid of Gao Xianze?  " He looked at Gao Xianze: "What is the answer?  " Gao Xianze thought for a long time, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "I understand!  Because they will think that the prince is??They sold me to test their abilities.  But now, they don't dare to show their full strength.  Sothey won't touch me.  " Fang Jie nodded: "I need you to help me, so the first thing is to keep you.  They are now sure that I am going to sell you, so they will not kill you.  If my prediction is correct, they will continue to send people to contact you, and the people they send again will definitely not be Dugu Wenxiu's people.  " Gao Xianze was silent for a while and asked curiously: "I just don't understand why their reaction is so strong?  Now that the prince is recognized by the world as the new master, why do they insist on overthrowing you?  " "Because I will touch their most fundamental interests.  Fang explained: "This sentence is a bit false. You may not understand it."  In other words I am not the person they elected.  It's hard for me to control them, and it's hard for them to benefit from it.  This is a relative relationship, I am not dependent on them and not under their control.  So I need to cultivate my own strength You have to get on my ship now.  " Gao Xianze smiled bitterly: "It's not like I got on voluntarily If I had a choice, I would still not get on any ship as before.  " "It's time to make a choice.  Fang Jie turned around and said, "You can go back now It's time for you to go back, and it's time for me to go back."  After you go back, you'd better play your part and act a little angry, but not too much.  It's time for me to go back, pretend to be worried when I return to the camp, and then lead the team back to Chang'an.  "The prince is worried. Are there people from them in your army?"  " "Yes" Fang Jie nodded: "It's impossible not."  " "After returning to Chang'an, will the prince get rid of these people first?  " Gao Xianze couldn't help but ask: "Can I know who these people are?  Fang Jie glanced at him: "Remember, this is the same thing without you."  " After saying that, Fang Jie strode away. Gao Xianze looked at Fang Jie's back, but his heart never calmed down. He knew that he was far from understanding Fang Jie, but he could already touch Fang Jie's terror.  It seems that nothing can be hidden from him, but no one can guess him.
