It's already winter, although the winter in Huangyang Road is not uncomfortable, and you have to wear thick clothes than going out, knowing that once Fang Xie makes a decision, it will be difficult to change, Shen Qing fans them, and helps Fang Xie change clothes early ready to come out. They just don't know if Fang Jie will bring them along again this time.
Compared with the trip to Nanyan, going to Dongjiang this time is more dangerous. Although Nanyan is a country, the strength of this country is not very strong. However, the Mu Mansion, which has an unrivaled status in Eastern Xinjiang, is different. If the Mu Mansion is really planned for the tens of thousands of cold cavalry of the Beiliao people, then once Fang Xie realizes that he is going to sabotage their plan, his actions will inevitably be thunderous. severe.
In fact, even if Fang Jie didn't want to sabotage their good deeds, the people in Mufu would never let go of the opportunity to kill a competitor. Regardless of whether the Mu family really decided to join the game of fighting for hegemony, if a prince like Fang Jie appeared on their territory, they would not miss the good opportunity to kill him.
How tempting is it to eliminate a very powerful enemy that you may encounter in the future
"Sa Sa definitely can't follow."
Among them, Mu Xiaoyao was the oldest and had the most gentle temperament, so they all respected Mu Xiaoyao. At this time, when Mu Xiaoyao spoke, the other women also became quiet.
"You are very tired now. It will take at least three or four months to go back and forth to Dongjiang. Even if you go back and forth quickly, you will not be able to hold on. For yourself and for your children, It’s better to stay in the big camp. According to the time, if you follow, the most fearful thing is that the child will be born halfway.”
Sang Sasha opened her mouth and wanted to fight for herself again, but found that there was no reason at all. So she lowered her head and said nothing more.
"Even if Fang Jie doesn't plan to take us with him, someone must follow."
Mu Xiaoyao looked at a few people: "If there is no one to follow, none of us will be at ease. Looking at it now, Qingfan and I are the most suitable to follow. Both of us are not weak in cultivation, and we have the experience of walking in the rivers and lakes. It's not bad. However, if Fang Jie wants to take Yun Shu back to meet her father and elder brother, only one of us will follow. There must be someone to take care of us at home. We all know that Fang Jie has made too many enemies. It may not be particularly safe in the Suzaku Mountain camp, so Sa Sa must be protected by someone."
Wanyan Yunshu was a little distracted, and looked at Mu Xiaoyao: "Sister Xiaoyao, I must go back to the clan to have a look. If Fang Xie's speculation is true, it is difficult for someone with the stubborn temperament of the father I can persuade him. I'm really worried, especially my brother doesn't know what the situation is now."
"Um."
Mu Xiaoyao nodded: "Fang Jie has too many things to deal with, so we have to figure out some things ourselves, and we can't wait for him to arrange everything."
"Sa Sa moved to live with me."
A voice came from outside the door, and they turned their heads and saw that it was Wu Yinyu who had come.
Wu Yinyu, who was wearing a goose yellow dress, saluted first after entering the door, and then sat beside Sang Sasha: "It should be considered safe in the camp. Although Fang Jie has made many enemies, those who have the courage and ability to break into the camp are not afraid." A lot. Sa Sa moved over to live with me, let Fang Jie adjust and dispatch the guards, plus the master of the world of goods is here, nothing will happen."
Mu Xiaoyao smiled: "That would be great."
"This kind of thing should be my worry."
Fang Jie appeared outside the door with a smile on his face: "If I don't make arrangements, I won't leave in peace."
When the women saw Fang Xie come in, they all stood up and looked at him. Fang Jie walked to the edge of the table and poured himself a glass of water, as if he was thirsty, he drank it all in one gulp: "I've already made arrangements."
He sat down and said, "It's fine for Sasha to move in with Yinyu, and I have someone to take care of her. I asked two old Taoist priests in the Qi Temple to protect them secretly. This time it's a secret to leave, so there won't be many people with me. Qingshan and Xiaoyao are also good to follow, but the journey must be more difficult."
"When have we been afraid of hard work?"
Shen Qingfan said lightly.
Fang Jie smiled: "Get ready, get up early tomorrow morning."
"How many people will you bring?"
Mu Xiaoyao asked worriedly.
"The Marquis of Sanjin has already taken a step ahead. He wants to go to Dongjiang to contact the people of Tongtongxiahang and arrange a retreat. When he gets there, the strength of the Black Banner Army will not be used at all, so he must first arrange for Tongtongxiaxing Those who can do it will meet them. They have to go by water every time they go back and forth, and warships can’t be used, so merchant ships must be used.”
"Even if it's a pretend caravan trip, you can't bring too many people, so I asked Chen Xiaoru to select two hundred elites from Xiaoqi School, plus Xiang Qingniu and Chen Xiaoru, Yan Kuang also came back, these people are enough. "
…
…
Before dawn, the team had already assembled, and two big ships were already waiting by the trestle. These two ships were selected by Duan Zheng personally, they are the strongest and most stable, and the sailors on board have been replaced by soldiers selected from the navy. There are not many rich people. Before joining the Black Banner Army, he had walked back and forth on the waters of the Yangtze River for countless times.
"Dugu."
Fang Jie confessed: "You have mishandled the affairs of the big camp, especially the three roads in the south. The land is large, the population is large, and they have not yet been fully surrendered. If there is anything, you can discuss it with the generals."
Dugu Wenxiu bowed quickly: "Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will do my best to do the family affairs well, my lord will go and come back early."
Fang Jie nodded and looked back: "It's fine for you guys to know, don't reveal the fact that I left the camp. I will be back in three or four months at the latest. During this period, the first thing to do is to stabilize the camp. Don't make any trouble. The second is to keep an eye on the Jiangnan side. Once Luo Tu and Yang fight resolutely, the winner's actions afterward must be related to the Black Banner Army, and cannot be taken lightly. The third is local matters. For those who gradually emerge Those who disobey, I will tell you one sentence... Those who can kill will not speak, and those who can speak will not kill."
"Obey!"
The people who saw them off clasped their fists neatly in response.
Fang Jie waved his hand, and then boarded the big boat.
These are two merchant ships from Huotong Tianxia, but although they are merchant ships, the large ships that travel by water all the year round are equipped with a lot of weapons. The front and rear of the large ships are equipped with heavy crossbows, and the hulls have also been reinforced. When encountering ordinary water thieves, the equipment on this big ship is enough to deal with them. What's more, the boats are now operated by elite soldiers of the Navy, and there are two hundred masters from the Xiaoqi School. If there were any brave water thieves to intercept it, it would be their bad luck.
The big ship set off in the direction of the rising sun when the sun was rising. The water waves separated the two sides in front of the bow, and the turned waves were covered with a layer of gold. The backs of the big fish can be seen from the water. These plump fish are used to the boats coming and going in the water village, and they seem so careless even to avoid them.
Xiang Qingniu seldom takes a boat, so he is inevitably a little nervous. Although the big boat was not bumpy, and hadn't entered the big river so it was very stable, but Dao Zun, who usually thought he was very unrestrained, was holding on to the side of the boat and refused to go back to the boat building because he was afraid of being laughed at.
Such a big ship has two huge paddles on the rear and two rows of paddles on the front, so the speed is quite fast. If the sails are deployed in downwind weather, the sailors can even sail through the waves. .
"Afraid?"
Fang Jie squinted his eyes at Xiang Qingniu and asked.
"Afraid of a fart."
Xiang Qingniu's face was a little ugly, but his mouth was still very strong: "I am a Taoist, my Taoist heart is enlightened, my cultivation base is amazing, I climb mountains like walking on flat ground, and I kill thousands of miles without leaving traces... So even if you are afraid I can't even say it..."
Fang Jie laughed loudly, and sat down beside him: "It's good to get used to it, now it's a bit bumpy going up against the current, and it will be even bumpier when Luoshui goes north..."
Xiang Qingniu gave him a blank look: "Those who make fun of people are villains."
Fang Jie nodded: "I think so too, but it's really cool to see people joke..."
Xiang Qingniu took a sip, and looked at the sparkling water in front of him: "I just can't figure it out, why are you so meddlesome? If you ran all the way to Dongjiang, if someone from the Mu Mansion knew about you I’m here, I’m afraid I’ll try my best and never allow you to come back alive. Don’t you fear death?”
"Afraid."
Fang Jie said with a smile: "I don't know if there are people in this world who are truly not afraid of death. Of course, there are many people in this world who know they will die but don't shrink back because of family affection or other things. They are not necessarily not afraid of death, but there are certain things that must be done.”
"Short oil."
Xiang Qingniu said: "Are you boasting that you are very sentimental?"
Fang Jie said in a low voice: "Friendship is not good, love is king."
Xiang Qingniu didn't understand the meaning of Fang Jie's words at first, but it took a while to understand, blushing and poohing several times: "Can you show some face? Anyway, you are a very important person now, Can't you be more decent? If this word gets out, I'm afraid that the soldiers of the Black Banner Army will immediately look down on you neatly."
"We are human beings with or without status, and joking around is good for your body and mind."
Fang Jie said with a smile: "Although this trip is dangerous, it should be a safe and steady journey, so it should be a rare rest. If you don't relax a little bit, I will be sorry for this journey? But, Mr. Daozun, you When do you plan to find an attractive woman to give birth to a little Daoist?"
"I'm bragging and showing off again!"
Xiang Qingniu glared at him and said, "Aren't you just going to be a father? Don't worry, we're not faster than anyone else, we're more damn productive than anyone else! I don't believe that when the time comes, Daoist will hook his fingers, and those people in the world who are eager Will the chivalrous women who are in a fierce love rush over on their own initiative. Don't underestimate the status of the word Dao Zun in the Jianghu, as long as I am willing, guess how many female chivalrous men will throw themselves into my arms?"
"Oh, oh, I'm so envious."
Fang Jie said with a smile: "You actually have the nerve to say the words "compared to the output, who gave you the confidence?"
Xiang Qingniu held back for a long time and said: "Master Dao, I have a lot of stock!"
Fang Jie couldn't help it, and he leaned forward and back with a smile: "Okay, okay, you are really awesome in this matter. But speaking of it, Daozong does not restrict men and women from forming partners, and the old bull-nosed Xiao Yijiu is no less It is said that you are also a high-roller who spends a lot of money. Why are you afraid of becoming like this... "
…
…
Upstairs on the ship, Wanyan Yunshu looked at Fang Jie and Xiang Qingniu at the bow of the ship, laughing from time to time and couldn't help asking curiously: "What are they talking about, are they talking so happily?"
Mu Xiaoyao blushed slightly, turned her head away and pretended not to hear her question.
Shen Qingfan looked up at the sky and pretended not to hear.
Mo Ningzhi, who was sitting on the side wiping the long knife, said coldly: "Two scum, full of foul language..."
After finishing speaking, she couldn't help but burst out laughing, and looked towards Fang Jie: "This guy, it seems that he rarely sees him so relaxed. He is either entangled in military affairs or Jianghu affairs every day. It turns out that when he is relaxed It's so... Shameless and shameless... "
