When Fang Jie woke up, he was already in Sanjin Hou Mansion instead of the shop he rented, and the proprietress who followed him from mid-air was also missing. Sitting next to his bed were Mu Xiaoyao and Shen Qingfan, and the big dog standing on one side also had a concerned face. What was surprising was that the little girl Wu Yinyu was also in the room.
Seeing Fang Jie woke up, Mu Xiaoyao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Feel sorry."
Fang Jie smiled apologetically and said, "I have never fainted in the past fifteen years, but I have passed out three times since I left Fan Gu. Does it mean that I am not acclimatized?"
"I'm still in the mood to joke!"
Mu Xiaoyao glared at him and said, "Mr. Zhuo came to see you, and he said that you are fine after taking your pulse. You were too tired and your meridians were shaken, so you fell into a coma. The old cripple also came, because there is something wrong with Hongxiu Zhao. It didn't take long."
Fang Jie giggled and said, "Then this time it can't be considered a coma, at most it can be considered a coma."
Seeing that he was fine, Shen Qingshan didn't say anything, stood up and stretched, showing his curves. Fang Jie had never had much resistance to this kind of beauty's enchanting figure, so he stared intently at the short white and slender waist exposed by Shen Qingfan when he stretched his waist. Shen Qingfan didn't seem to see Fang Xie's greedy and shameless eyes, turned and left to go to sleep. Fang Xie's eyes shifted to her small waist, and he stared hard at the round buttocks for a few times.
"shameless!"
The little girl Wu Yinyu cursed with a blushing face, caught up with Shen Qingshan and pulled her arm and said, "Sister Shen, let's go together, I don't want to stay in a hooligan's house any longer."
Shen Qingshan pursed her lips and smiled, whispered something in Wu Yinyu's ear, the little girl's face turned redder, stomped her feet and said that Sister Shen is not a good person, and then ran away quickly. Shen Qingfan looked at the swaying back of the little girl trotting, looked back at Fang Xie and said, "Look, you took advantage again."
In midsummer, the gauze skirts worn by girls are thinner. The curvaceous body outlined is so beautiful that people can't bear to look away. Of course, Fang Jie once said very seriously that this is a yearning for beauty, and there is no vulgar taste. But when he said this, he didn't even believe it himself.
"She has been guarding for a day and two nights."
Mu Xiaoyao said something in a low voice.
Fang Jie's heart moved, and he said to Shen Qingfan who had already left the door: "Sleep well, but don't take off your clothes."
Shen Qingfan stopped in his tracks, looked at Fang Jie with provocative eyes and asked, "Why?"
"This is not our home, I will lose money if someone sees it."
"Pooh!"
Shen Qing took a sip, and her rare face flushed slightly: "I was seen by others, what did you lose? If you are really afraid of losing money, you have the ability to stay in my room and guard."
Mu Xiaoyao absolutely couldn't say such a thing, so Shen Qingshan dared to molested Fang Jie without any scruples in public.
After Shen Qingfan left, Fang Jie said to Mu Xiaoyao: "Miss Xiaoyao, you should also go to rest for a while, I know you must have not closed your eyes for a day and two nights... Wait, you mean I have been in a coma for a day or two. night?!"
"yes."
Mu Xiaoyao rubbed her sore eyes and replied, "It's been a day and two nights since I was sent back."
"Then...the exam at the Academy of Martial Arts?"
Fang asked.
Mu Xiaoyao said: "Sanjin Hou said that today is the day to release the rankings, because Miss Wu also took the exam, so early in the morning Sanjinhou sent someone to the Yanwu Academy to read the rankings. Don't worry, Sanjinhou said you His grades will definitely not be bad, after all, with an excellent foundation in the five subjects of liberal arts, it is no problem to enter the martial arts academy."
Fang Jie hummed, thinking to himself why he fell asleep for so long. The old monk's palm didn't feel too strong, and he didn't feel any pain when his body was blown away, why did he sleep for a day and two nights all of a sudden
"Who sent me back?"
he asks.
Mu Xiaoyao said: "Mr. Zhuo."
"ah?"
Fang Jie rubbed his brows, and asked after a moment of silence: "Miss Xiao Yao, have you ever seen a woman wearing a very rustic blue flower sarong? She looks about thirty years old and very pretty. When Fan Gu You seem to have seen it once again, the proprietress of Yunji’s dog meat shop. That time when I went back, I kept praising her for her beauty, the one you and Dagou ran to secretly look at at night.”
"without."
Mu Xiaoyao shook her head: "Mr. Zhuo sent you here by himself. Why, the proprietress has also arrived in Chang'an? How did you see her?"
"It's okay... Sister Xiaoyao, Mr. Zhuo said that what happened to the old monk who injured me later?"
"also not."
Mu Xiaoyao said: "He handed you over to the people in Sanjinhou's mansion, and left without entering the door. He heard from Sanjinhou Feixia that he left in a hurry, as if he had something urgent to deal with. Yes. He didn't mention that the person who injured you was an old monk, Fang Jie... Has someone from the Buddhist sect chased you to Chang'an again?"
Fang Jie shook his head slowly, trying to recall the old monk's appearance at that time, always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember for a while.
…
…
"I'm guilty! I failed to catch the Buddhist sect."
Changchun Garden Qionglu.
Luo Weiran, Hou Wenji, Zhuo Buyi, and Li Nan leaned over and said in unison, while the emperor who sat on the kang opposite them and looked down at the memorial seemed to have expected the result long ago. He didn't look up, just waved his hands and said: "Bu Yi and Li Nan, you two have been tracking for two days and two nights and you are tired, go back and rest first."
Zhuo Buyi and Li Nan looked at each other, then they said yes and walked out of the room slowly.
After walking out of the room, Li Kuo took a look at Zhuo Buyi as if he hesitated to speak. Zhuo Buyi sighed slightly and said, "I'm also curious why His Majesty doesn't seem to care at all."
Li Nan shook helplessly and said, "Maybe it's extremely disappointing."
The two of them were not in a good mood, and after saying a few words, they bid farewell and left.
In the room, Luo Weiran and Hou Wenji were very low. Although there was no anger in His Majesty's tone, both of them knew His Majesty's temper. How could such a strong monarch tolerate the people of the Buddhist sect coming and going freely in the capital of the Sui Dynasty
"Hou Wenji, you continue to lead people to investigate to see if there are people from the Buddhist sect infiltrating. The Sui Dynasty has been quiet for eleven years, and many people have forgotten how the peace came about for these eleven years. Didn't you I was very angry if I was ready to meet the provocation of the Buddhist sect, but if I think about it, if the six masters can't stop him, why should I be angry? Go... After you go out, send someone to find Mo Liangbi and Zong Lianghu, Then send someone to the Martial Arts Field to invite Dean Zhou."
Hou Wenji responded, bowed and retreated. When he was going out, he couldn't help taking a sneak peek at His Majesty, and found that the emperor's expression was normal. But the more calm the emperor was, the more uneasy he felt.
Luo Weiran was the only one left in the room. His Majesty put down the memorial in his hand, looked up at him and said, "What do you think about people from the Buddhist sect sneaking into Chang'an City?"
"I have neglected my duty... From the very beginning, I should have invited Dean Zhou or Daoist Xiao. If the two of them make a move, even a Heavenly Venerable who came from the Buddhist sect will not be able to leave. If you find out the identity of the person who came from the Buddhist sect, It’s still too late to ask the military to take action immediately. It’s my negligence, please punish me, Your Majesty.”
"Please don't move."
The emperor waved his hand and said, "I have sent people to know about Zhenren Xiao and Dean Zhou, the people in the army, and the people in the military camp, unless people from the Buddhist sect dare to go to the palace. Come and make trouble, otherwise they won't be able to make a move."
"ah?"
Luo Weiran was obviously taken aback.
The emperor got down from the kang, stretched his body and said, "What I'm asking you is why people from the Buddhist sect suddenly came to the imperial capital. Don't say it's for provocation, the people from the Buddhist sect are not idiots."
"Could it be that... Meng Yuan's people noticed that His Majesty was going to attack the Northwest?"
Luo Weiran boldly said something tentatively.
The emperor hummed, and said after a while of silence: "Perhaps it is true. I never thought that even officials in the court could hide it, but people in Meng Yuan couldn't hide it. If it wasn't for someone who knew about it to leak it out, Then it is what happened in the west that made the people of Mengyuan wary. The former makes me worry, and the latter makes me curious, and it can attract a Buddhist emperor to come to the imperial capital to check the news. What happened in the west?"
"The minister immediately sent someone to investigate."
Luo Weiran leaned over and said.
"I left you because I want you to investigate. You can move the people buried in Mengyuan. The chess pieces buried at the beginning of my ascension to the throne can be used. For eleven years, they hid in Mengyuan for eleven years. If you don't use it, it will rust."
Luo Weiran's face changed, and he felt sour for no reason when he thought of the group of dead men sent to Mengyuan to lurk in Mengyuan when His Majesty ascended the throne eleven years ago. Those people were all outstanding young talents in the Sui Dynasty. They lived incognito in the enemy's country for eleven years because of the Sui war against the northwest that would start at some unknown time. In the past eleven years, in order to ensure their safety, His Majesty has not even used these people once.
And it was Luo Weiran who was directly responsible for contacting these people.
"The Western Expedition has to be brought forward."
The emperor paced back and forth in the room, looked at the huge Sui territory map on the wall and said: "No matter what happened to the west, at least it proves that the people of Meng Yuan panicked. How could Tianzun come out in person? I have been waiting for the opportunity, but I have not waited for eleven years, but I am ready, so I will not wait for the opportunity, but rely on preparation to fight this battle. Now it seems that I am ready , the opportunity seems to have arrived... God's will, how can I let it go?"
Luo Weiran was taken aback by the heat in His Majesty's eyes, he had never seen such hot eyes from His Majesty.
That is desire, it is greed.
"Luo Weiran, if I personally conquer... the three princes, which one do you think is qualified to stay in Chang'an?"
The next sentence completely frightened Luo Weiran.
"Your Majesty cannot personally conscript!"
He lifted his robe, knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, please think twice."
…
…
Fan Gu is 12,200 li to the west, and there is a vast prairie. It's just that the weather here is much warmer than Fan Gu's, and there are four seasons. The pasture is thick and lush up to knee height, and wild horses can be seen galloping across the grass from time to time. You can also see huge and fierce prairie wolves, resting in groups lazily on their own territory. They will not easily cross the border, and naturally they will not allow other wolves to break into their territory.
Prairie wolves are at the top of the prairie food chain, and even ferocious lions are unwilling to provoke a pack of wolves easily. The mountain dogs on the Langru Mountains to the west of Fangu are already scary, but compared with the prairie wolves, those mountain dogs can only be regarded as gentle kittens.
It was such a fierce prairie wolf, but he was full of vigilance against the two people walking back and forth on the prairie. They didn't even dare to approach, avoiding and watching the two people leave from a distance.
One of them was very clean, and the washed white robe seemed to have no wrinkles. He walked slowly, glancing at the majestic mountain whose outline could already be seen from time to time.
The fur robe on the other person was badly torn, with blood stains all over his clothes. He seemed to have a leg injury, and it was a little difficult for him to walk. The Confucian shirt man walking in front glanced back at him, and then disappeared in a flash. When he came back again, he was carrying a huge male coyote in his hand. The wolf's figure is like a horse that is about to grow up, and it looks like it is still the leader of a pack of wolves. But under the hands of the Confucian shirt man, it could only groan begging for mercy.
"Ride it."
The man in the Confucian shirt said something lightly, and the man in the leather robe smiled and turned over and climbed up on the back of the wolf: "I did too much slaughtering of dogs in Fan Gu, and the first thing I thought of when I saw this wolf was to skin it."
The prairie wolf shivered in fright as if he could understand.
"Tugou, how many have we killed?"
The man in the Confucian shirt asked.
"Fozong has four hundred and eight golden monks, sixteen arhats, and four venerables. You injured a heavenly venerable yesterday... The Mongolian and Yuan courts sent out eight ranks and above to kill more than sixty, nine ranks slaughtered thirteen One. As for those below the eighth grade... I don’t want to remember.”
"Well... Tugou, do you regret it?"
"What sir said, I am very happy."
"Go any further and you may die."
"Death is also a joy."
"Okay then, let's move on."
"Well, keep going!"
