Zhuo Buyi glanced at the young man who was speaking generously in front of the emperor, and smiled involuntarily. The young man had said before that at this time, he naturally wanted to say flattering and flattering flowers, but what he said didn't seem to mean flattering at all, but the emperor was very happy.
Paying homage to the emperor in a vulgar way, this sycophant is of high quality.
Since when did this young man become used to everything in Chang'an City
The juvenile status is not high, so the time to speak is very short. It was enough for the emperor to drink Fang Jiejing's wine with the adults. He turned around and walked back, and when he got back to his seat, Chen Bolai had already started to preach the achievements of his ancestors. This is something arranged by the emperor, and the words are for those old men. Although these old people are just ordinary people, they all have high prestige among their neighbors.
Soon, everything they heard and heard from the palace will spread. It won't be long before all the people in Chang'an City will know what happened during the New Year's Eve feast.
"Speaking well."
Zhuo Buyi smiled and said, "Especially the sentence that wearing a toga with long sleeves is not convenient for eating."
If Fang Jiexin said the truth, you would naturally feel good about it. But most of the people here appreciate the impassioned and not-so-sincere words behind.
"I have something to do, I have to go first..."
Zhuo Buyi lowered his voice and said, "From now on, the Martial Arts Academy will be closed until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. During these fifteen days, the students who live in Chang'an City are in danger of being assassinated. There are too many people. There are not enough people in the guard. The murderer has been holding back for the past few days and can't find a chance to kill. I guess he is waiting for the time to suspend class. I don't think he has escaped from Chang'an. Killing is just a means to achieve his goal, although It's not yet known what his aim is, but he's clearly not there yet."
Fang Jie nodded, glanced at the students present and said in a low voice, "Among the ten people who came here today, only Ma Lilian and I went to Banyue Mountain that day. I will walk with her in a while, if we separate...she will be in danger likely to be greater.”
"I will send someone to follow you."
Zhuo Buyi said.
Fang Jie thought of the time he met the emperor before, the emperor told the eunuch Su Buwei who always seemed so low-key that Fang Jie would leave it to you from today onwards. So he shook his head and said: "No, you don't have enough manpower. There are many people in Chang'an who don't want me to die, and Da Quan and the others are waiting outside. There are me and Shen Qingfan, unless the murderer He is a ninth-rank master, otherwise he would have no chance at all."
"Well… "
Zhuo Buyi nodded and said: "The Dao Sect's people are over there, if you think it's dangerous, you can go with them. With the Dao Sect's people guarding them, the murderer doesn't even have the guts to show up."
Hearing this sentence, Fang Jie remembered why he didn't see Xiang Qingniu today. He raised his head and looked around, and then saw the fat Taoist sitting in the crowd very close to the emperor. I was a little nervous when I went up to toast the emperor just now, and I didn't notice where the Daozong people were sitting.
Perhaps sensing Fang Jie's eyes, the fat Taoist Xiang Qingniu glanced over but didn't express anything. Seeing him pretending to be serious and listening to Chen Bo come to them to tell them about the achievements of their ancestors, Fang Jie wanted to laugh. This guy's posture of pretending to sit upright is so awkward.
"Sir, may I ask you a question?"
Fang Jie asked: "Can you tell what kind of realm that fat guy with big ears is?"
Zhuo Buyi followed Fang Jie's line of sight, then shook his head and said, "The Daozong's cultivation skills are a bit special, and it's hard to see how deep their cultivation is unless they are used. It is said that Daozong's Da Zhou After Tian Xiao Zhou Tian has cultivated to a certain level, people will return to their innocence. They look like ordinary people, but their cultivation is ridiculously high."
"That only shows that there are not many such people in Daozong."
Fang Jie smiled and said, "The red-robed great priest, Taoist Heju, is not an ordinary person at first glance, which means that he has not practiced the Great Zhoutian and Little Zhoutian skills well. He is already a red-robed priest, and his status in the Taoist sect is relatively high. He's one of the tallest."
"wrong."
Zhuo Buyi shook his head: "You don't know Taoism... It's true that Xiao Zhenren is the leader of Taoism, but he may not be the one with the highest level of cultivation in Taoism. The status of the great priest in red robe is very high, but that's only for ordinary disciples and Jiang Hu. Speaking from a middle-aged man. You should understand... There may be some unborn old monsters in every sect. I believe that there may be such people hidden in a secret place on Qingle Mountain."
"etc… "
Fang Jie thought for a while and then asked: "Just now you said that you couldn't tell Xiang Qingniu's cultivation, but I saw him as a liar who eats and drinks, so he doesn't have the demeanor of a worldly expert... According to what you said before Yes, the big Zhoutian and the little Zhoutian will return to their original nature when they cultivate to a certain level, isn’t that Qingniu’s cultivation level really high?"
Zhuo Buyi smiled: "How would I know, but it's very strange... His realm seems to be unstable, fluctuating up and down."
He stood up and said, "Is there any problem? If not, I will leave."
"the last one."
Fang Jie looked at him and asked seriously, "Where is Mu Xiaoyao?"
Zhuo Buyi was startled, and after a long silence he replied: "Grassland, Mandu Banner."
Fang Jie frowned, and clenched his fists tightly: "Who arranged for her to go?"
"Master Zhenfu Envoy."
Zhuo Buyi answered truthfully.
Fang Jie hummed, his expression didn't seem to have changed much. But Zhuo Buyi could feel that his anger was on the verge of erupting.
"Sir, please go back and help me give Hou Wenji a sentence."
"you say."
"Just say, fuck me."
…
…
Naturally, Zhuo Buyi would not really bring this sentence to Hou Wenji, the governor of Qingya, unless he had a grudge against Fang Jie. He knew that Fang Jie was trying to suppress his anger, and he also knew that this kind of anger was difficult to control. A rude curse shows that Fang Xie can still control his emotions. If Fang Xie keeps acting as if nothing happened, it will really be bad. Maybe this guy will leave Chang'an City with the big dog and run back to Fan Gu in one breath. go.
"Don't worry, she'll be fine."
Zhuo Buyi comforted: "I told you just now that any sect in the world will have its own backers. There may be a few perverted old monsters in the Qingle Mountain Yiqi Temple, and I am not the only thug in the Ouchi Guards Department." .The Lord Prosecutor arranged for her to travel far away because you were still in prison. I think it is not difficult for you to understand why he did this, and you would do the same if you were sitting in his seat."
"You mean let me understand?"
Fang Jie frowned and said, "What the hell? If Mu Xiaoyao doesn't return to Chang'an City after three months, I'll go to the grassland immediately. There is no shortage of Fang Jie in Chang'an City, but Fang Jie lacks Mu Xiaoyao!"
"I'll tell the pacifier."
Zhuo Buyi nodded, turned and left the banquet. He first went not far away to find Luo Weiran, the commander of the Ouchi Guard Office, whispered a few words, and then left. Luo Weiran looked towards Fang Xie, and shook his head slightly at him. Fang Jie slowly let go of his clenched fist in his cuff, lowered his head to drink.
No one noticed that two of the green bricks under his feet were broken.
The banquet was going to last until midnight, and Fang Jie, who was so preoccupied, didn't care who came on stage and said something after Chen Bo came to them. When others raise a glass, he raises a glass, and when others don't raise a glass, he also drinks. Marilyn, who was sitting across from him, looked at him worriedly, wondering why Fang Jie suddenly became so heavy.
There were singing and dancing between the venues, which was very lively.
Fang Jie seems to be isolated from this occasion, and his loneliness makes people feel distressed. The other students were entering the palace for the first time, so they were inevitably curious and excited. And they didn't have a good impression of Fang Xie, so naturally they wouldn't notice his changes. Not far away, several academicians were splashing ink. It won't be long before a beautiful and prosperous article will come out, and everyone in the room will sincerely admire their knowledge.
But Fang Jie just felt that they were noisy and wanted to scold their mothers.
When the bronze chime rings, it represents the arrival of Zi Shi. Everyone stood up and raised their glasses to celebrate the arrival of the new year. The emperor accepted the congratulations of the courtiers and the people, and then began to say some customary auspicious words. The eunuchs came in with trays full of red envelopes. Everyone knows that there is nothing in the red envelope, but the meaning of His Majesty's reward is naturally different. Fang Jie took the red envelope and stuffed it into his cuff without even looking at it, which seemed a little rude.
He left with the excuse of going to the toilet, and opened the red envelope by the light in the toilet. Inside were nine coins made in the Sui Dynasty, and the new ones seemed to have the temperature of leaving the mint. It seems petty to give such a small reward from the emperor, but this kind of thing is originally an auspicious meaning.
In addition to the copper coins, there is also a small note in the red envelope, which is written in hasty handwriting, very simple, only a few dozen words.
When His Majesty talked about Prince Yi's gift, there was no difference.
The news was meaningless, but Fang Jie was very happy that the little eunuch Mu San had learned how to communicate with himself. This was the first pawn that Fang Jie set up by himself, and it was also the first proof that he had fully integrated into the officialdom of the Sui Dynasty. In this place full of conspiracies and tricks, Fang Jie must make himself stronger and stronger.
When the banquet finally came to an end when they returned, Fang Jie said in a low voice when he walked past Ma Lilian: "Come with me when you leave the palace, and I will take you back."
Ma Lilian blushed, subconsciously nodded and did not dare to answer. At this moment, her heartbeat was indescribably fast. When Fang Jie sat across from her, she couldn't help thinking, why didn't she refuse? Nodding so easily, will he feel that he is a casual woman
Worry about gains and losses.
When she came out of the Tai Chi Palace, Ma Lilian kept a certain distance behind Fang Jie. She didn't know what she was afraid of, but she just didn't have the courage to walk side by side with Fang Jie. Her father was General Guide from the fifth rank, and he was going to patrol the city on duty tonight, but he still sent elite veterans from the mansion to wait outside the Tai Chi Palace.
"I... I can go back by myself."
When Ma Lilian got to the side of the carriage, she said something hesitantly. After she finished speaking, she regretted it, lest Fang explain goodbye.
"boarding."
Fang Jie ignored her words, pointed to his carriage lightly and said, "Let your people follow behind."
"oh… "
She bowed her head in response, as obediently as a child who met the teacher for the first time.
The two carriages drove one after the other, Fang Jie's carriage was still driven by Qilin, and the big dog sat beside Qilin. And when Ma Lilian saw the alluring woman in Fang Jie's carriage, she began to regret why she didn't reject Fang Jie. In front of this woman, she felt so ugly and ordinary.
Shen Qingfan's beauty always makes other women uncomfortable.
Shen Qingfan, who saw it in his eyes, didn't show anything, just smiled faintly and stuck it in Fang Jie's ear and said in a very soft voice: "This girl is interested in you."
Fang Jie frowned slightly and said, "What can make you shut up?"
Shen Qingshan pursed her lips and smiled, then glanced unscrupulously at Fang Jie's crotch. Fang Jie was taken aback, his face was reddish and hot when Shen Qing fan looked at him. This woman's nerves are too strong to be defeated by Fang Jie. Back then he tried his best to beg her to use that cherry mouth, but it was clearly a gag, not a shut up...
After the carriage left Xuanwu Street, it began to speed up, and there were no pedestrians on the road. A man curled up in a black cloak looked at Fang Jie's carriage in the dark. He frowned, pondered for a while, then suddenly smiled again, then turned and left at an extremely fast speed.
Half an hour later, he landed lightly in General Guide's mansion. After carefully looking at it, I chose a room and opened the door and walked in. There were only five or six servant girls and two elderly stewards left in the mansion. The former was already asleep, and the latter was playing chess in the porter's room. No one noticed that there was an unexpected guest in the lady's room.
