Great Gucheng
Liu Fu
Liu Di leaned on the reclining chair and adjusted his posture, because he was too comfortable just now and his lower abdomen still had some cramps. Although he is in his fifties, he is still obsessed with sex. The girl who was sticking out her small tongue like a snake between his crotch just now is the singer he just brought into the mansion, and she is both excellent in sex and art. That small mouth can suck the soul away. At his age, he is a bit powerless to gallop, so he especially likes the skill of talking.
Just when he was about to put his hand into the girl's skirt, the steward outside asked in a low voice, saying that Yu Wenbo, the patriarch of another famous Yuwen family in the city, came to visit. Liu Di withdrew his hand resentfully, got up reluctantly, and asked the girl to tidy up her clothes.
"Ask him to stay in the living room later, and I'll go right away."
The steward agreed and left, Liu Di pinched the girl's chin and said, "I'll come back later to deal with you, little fairy." The girl smiled shyly, and Liu Di laughed and left. After he left, the girl curled her lips with disdain on her face, and muttered in a low voice, what face does a wilted cucumber that has been beaten by Shuang have the face to say the word ruthless? !
If Liu Di knew that he was looked down upon like this, he would definitely become angry from embarrassment.
Not long after he came back from the mansion of Du Jianzhou, governor of Nanhui Road, Yu Wenbo came to look for something important, otherwise he would have said it when he came back from Du Jianzhou's mansion. When he thought that the guy named Fang Jie would lead troops to Dagu City in a short time, he felt a little uncomfortable.
Yuwen's family is more powerful in Nanhui Road than his Liu family, so he didn't dare to delay too long and walked quickly to the living room. As soon as he entered the door, he clasped his fists and said: "Brother Zhongda didn't send someone to inform you first, I Good to meet at the door."
Yu Wenbo smiled and said: "Why do you and I need such vain etiquette in our friendship? But if I don't have any troubles, I won't bother you. The more I think about it, the more troubled I become, so I come to discuss with you."
"What's up?"
Liu Di sat down on the chair and asked.
"What else can happen."
Yu Wenbo paused and said: "Luo Qiu and Chi Haonian have come up with this method, will it work? Why do I always feel a little worried? If this Fang Lai stays on our Nanhui Road, why don't we eat it?" deflated?"
"Probably not..."
Liu Di just felt better and his mind was still a little fluttering, so he calmed down and continued: "Chi Haonian should not be mistaken, he has been the governor of Yongbei Road all these years and he has not taken less from us. Let's? Besides, didn't that person surnamed Fang come over from Beihui Road with a team, and with the news from Qiuqiang County today, I don't think that person surnamed Fang is a very scheming person, otherwise how could he? Doing such arrogant and rude things. It’s not enough to offend the Chen family on the North Hui Road, how dare you offend us all on the South Hui Road?”
"That's what it says."
Yu Wenbo frowned slightly and said: "He killed a ninth-rank practitioner in front of Chen Yongfu, and he has done enough. He just wanted us to see his strength, and perhaps it was because of this that Zhong Xin Only then will the ten thousand county soldiers be handed over to him. But we don't intend to hand over the ten thousand county soldiers. If there is no way to suppress it, then if Fang is really a stunned young man, wouldn't he want to Repeat the old trick?"
"Are you afraid that he will fail?"
Liu Di was silent for a while and said: "Unless he is a real idiot, he will not provoke again and again. The first time was for the sake of gaining prestige, and he knows the consequences of killing again the second time. The boundary of the Southwest is not up to him, how dare he offend people to death. Although he is arrogant, he must have a big plan, and he wants all the roads in the Southwest instead of the corner of Huangyang Road, so he should understand who should With respect."
"It's better to be on guard, this person is too young."
Yu Wenbo said: "You and I have come here since we were young. We know that young people don't know how to restrain themselves when they are proud. Fang Jie is young and successful, and he still has tens of thousands of teams in his hand. It is inevitable that he will be angry."
"Defend?"
Liu Di thought for a while: "Liu Feng, the gatekeeper of the city, is my nephew. A while ago, he said that several groups of people had entered the city one after another, which was a bit suspicious. When he thought about the fact that the Black Banner Army was about to enter Nanhui Road, he felt that Maybe it was the spies sent by the Black Banner Army first to inquire about the news. I asked Liu Feng to send someone to watch those people, why don't we arrest a few and ask them first?"
"Also."
Yu Wenbo nodded: "Fang Jieren let the spies in before he arrived. Of course he didn't dare to talk nonsense about this matter, so even if the people were gone, he would only suffer from being dumb. And these people can also be a bargaining chip. In case the discussion collapses when we talk about the 10,000 soldiers, Fang Xie can let Fang Xie know that we are not soft persimmons that can be squeezed casually."
"good."
Liu Di said: "Tomorrow morning, I will ask Liu Feng to make arrangements to capture all the suspicious people who enter the city. It is best if they are Fang Xie, and let them go if they are not Fang Xie. If these people are really Fang Xie Arranged spies, then we can ask some useful things."
"It's not too late!"
Yu Wenbo said: "Let Liu Feng lead people to arrest those people tonight, Fang Jie's brigade will arrive in three or two days, we don't have much time for interrogation! Besides, since they are spies, they must be Those who are vigilant, it is better to start earlier."
Liu Di got up: "Okay, I'll send someone to tell Liu Fengna right now."
"besides… "
Yu Wenbo thought for a while and said: "Don't tell Du Jianzhou about this, he is a person without courage, and it would be troublesome to let him know. You have to say something long-winded, don't provoke me casually."
"I saved it!"
Liu Di smiled: "Even if Fang Xie sees his people disappear, how dare he do anything? This is Dagu City, not Zhuque Mountain, this is Nanhui Road, not Huangyang Road. If he wants to take the luggage away steadily, Just be honest."
…
…
When Fang Jie led the team to Dagu City, Du Jianzhou, the governor of Nanhui Road, and several important figures in the city came out to greet him in person. Fang Jie had already handled such a scene with ease, and after a few pleasantries, he was praised by all the stars. Welcomed into the city.
In fact, the other party's enthusiasm may not necessarily mean good intentions.
Yi Fangjie has achieved so much at this age, if his heart is not stable, after being overwhelmed by such a scene, his heart will inevitably become impetuous, and he will feel that he is invincible, and will eventually be ruined by it. This kind of thing has existed since ancient times, and it abounds.
Just before entering the city, Chen Xiaoru, the commander of the Xiaoqi School, found an opportunity to whisper a few words in Fang Jie's ear. Fang Jie frowned slightly, then nodded, and Chen Xiaoru left after giving some instructions. Liu Di and Yu Wenbo looked at each other with smiles in each other's eyes.
With the two of them being the most enthusiastic, they praised Fang Xie as an incomparable person for thousands of years. After a lot of experience, Fang Xie was already used to this kind of trick, and he just responded with a humble smile. Du Jianzhou, who was still worried that Liu Di and the others would be as difficult to explain as Chen Yongfu in Beihui Road, was relieved when he saw how lively the scene was, and the smile on his face became more relaxed.
It's just that there was one thing hanging in his mind all the time, that is, Liu Di and others refused to agree to let Fang Jie take away 10,000 soldiers from the county.
The group went directly to the governor's office, and Du Jianzhou specially ordered people to find all the chefs from the best restaurants in the city, and waited in the kitchen of the office. After everyone was seated, all kinds of dishes were brought up like water. It is a land of fish and rice in the southwest, so it is also extraordinarily particular about food. These dishes are much more refined than northern cuisines just by looking at them. Fang Jie has been away for so many years, but there are still some dishes that he can't name.
He is not afraid of showing cowardice, and he has to ask about any dishes he doesn't know. Liu Di, Yu Wenbo and others treat him with a little more contempt.
"This is the front dish of Zuiyuelou, called Twin Lions Treading the Moon."
Du Jianzhou pointed to the dish that had just been served and introduced: "It is extremely cumbersome to make, but the taste is a first-class product. When the late emperor came here on his southern tour, he loved this dish the most."
"oh?"
Fang Jie said: "Then I have to try more!"
What he said made everyone sneer even more in their hearts, and they said that they really had never seen the world. There is no such thing as saying, even if you are interested in the dishes that the late emperor liked, you can't say it so bluntly, just this sentence can make those censors refer to it. Of course, the current troubled times cannot compare with the most prosperous period of the Great Sui Dynasty.
"General Fang, in order to relieve the sufferings of the people in southern Xinjiang, led his troops southward without hesitation. He is really a role model for my generation!"
Du Jianzhou smiled and said: "There is a rising star like General Fang in the Sui Dynasty, so why worry about not being able to wipe out the bandits?"
"right!"
Liu Di picked up his wine glass and said: "Today we can sit with a young hero like General Fang, and we admire Huanxi very much in our hearts. We admire General Fang's character, and what makes me happy is that I have the opportunity to meet General Fang. To put it bluntly, it is not very good for the common people. In terms of benevolence and righteousness, if it weren't for the difficulties in the southern border, I'm afraid I wouldn't have met General Fang, whom I have admired for a long time!"
Everyone laughed and raised their glasses to Fang Jie.
Fang Jie took a sip with him, then said a few words modestly, and then directly asked Du Jianzhou if the food and grass had been prepared.
"And I have already sent someone to arrange that every soldier in the army will have hot meals today. I made the people of the whole city busy. The governor's yamen paid for wine and meat, and asked the people to prepare them and send them to the army. Soldiers have come from afar to work hard to keep the southern border of the empire peaceful, so we should do what we can."
"I would like to thank my lord on behalf of my soldiers!"
Fang Jie clasped his fists and inadvertently flirted with Nie Xiaoju who was behind him. Although Nie Xiaoju looked rough but was as careful as silk, she immediately understood Fang Jie's meaning, and he left immediately, telling the staff of the Xiaoqi School and the Qin Barracks to leave. People carefully inspect the food sent by the local people. Although I know that it is unlikely to be drugged, I still have to be careful. If the tens of thousands of troops are overwhelmed by others here, it would be too unfair to die.
Fang Jie was just acting cautiously, but he knew in his heart that there was no possibility. If you want to overwhelm 40,000 people with medicine, you may not be able to gather all the poisons you need for a while.
After drinking for three rounds, Fang Jie put down the wine glass, put away his smile and said solemnly to Du Jianzhou, "Although I have only come to Nanhui Road in a lowly position, I have heard of the prestige of the governor for a long time. As far as I know, Your Majesty has heard about it several times. I have praised my lord as a model for the courtiers of the Sui Dynasty. I have always admired my lord, so if I don't say something directly, it will be disrespectful to my lord."
Du Jianzhou thought that Fang Jie wanted to ask about the 10,000 soldiers, so he thought of an excuse and smiled and said, "It's okay to say something, General Fang. Although we met for the first time, we hit it off right away. If there is anything, as long as I can do it." There will be no excuses.”
"In this case, the humble job will be straightforward."
Fang Jie paused and said: "Before the army arrived in Dagu City, I sent some of my subordinates here first to survey and set up camp for the army. These people are all my personal soldiers, but after arriving in Dagu City, instead I lost contact with these subordinates, this place is under the rule of the adults, and the humble officials dare not make decisions without authorization, so I ask the adults to help find it."
Hearing these words, Du Jianzhou was taken aback: "Is there such a thing?"
He turned to look at Niu Jiyuan, the prefect present here: "Has there been any cases in the yamen recently?"
How could Niu Jiyuan dare to delay? After thinking carefully, he stood up and replied, "My lord, the city has been peaceful recently, and there have been no cases. I wonder how many soldiers General Fang has sent here?"
"Twenty-four people."
Fang Jie answered.
"so many people… "
Niu Jiyuan said: "If something happened to so many people, as a local official, he would not be unaware of it. Could it be that they went back to meet General Fang's team and went astray?"
As soon as he said this, he felt that something was wrong, and smiled embarrassingly: "After the humble job returns, immediately send someone to investigate."
At this time, Chen Xiaoru in military uniform strode in. After giving everyone present a cold look, he walked up to Fang Jie and whispered a few words in Fang Jie's ear. Fang Jie raised his brows and poured himself a glass of wine He took a sip: "I can feel the enthusiasm of Nanhui Road as soon as I see you adults today. It turns out that the few soldiers under me who don't know what is good or bad have also been invited to be guests at home. Since the wine also drank meat I also ate it, and the hospitality of the local government has already been received, should I also let those people under me come back to their lives?"
As soon as these words were said, Du Jianzhou's expression changed immediately.
Oops!
His heart tightened, and he thought that this is someone who has nothing to do to provoke this surname Fang!
