Accompanying Fang Xie was Wan Yankang, a special Qin from the Northern Liao nationality.
Wanyan Yunshu went to the back to reunite with her parents, Wanyan Chongde was almost under house arrest, so only Wanyan Kang was qualified to accompany Fang Jie. Today is different from the past, Fang Xie's status is there, even if this is the eastern border, the people of the Northern Liao still worship the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, and respect the etiquette of the Sui Dynasty, so it is natural for a state prince to treat him well when he visits.
"I heard a long time ago that the Grand Duke was young and promising, and I only saw it today when I saw it. What is there is someone beyond others..."
Wan Yankang's Chinese is still a little awkward, and the words and phrases are very blunt: "I used to be busy with family affairs, so I didn't care about Yunshu, but I heard that Yunshu was at the national level when he stayed with the Duke. Khan, I said that with the character and status of the Duke, how could he treat Yunshu badly? It was because of my persuasion that Khan was relieved. The Duke should know that Yunshu is the Khan’s favorite. child."
Fang Jie smiled and said, "Thank you Teqin for your kind words."
When he said this, Wan Yankang himself believed it. However, it can be seen from this that Wanyan Kang doesn't know Fang Xie well. Fang Jie likes that others don't understand him, especially strangers. One must know that when Wanyan Yunshu stayed by Fang Jie's side, Fang Jie was not some kind of prince.
"Yunshu has always told me that the three people who love her the most in the clan are her father, her brother, and you."
Fang Jie said: "Since Yun Shu is following me, I should call you uncle too."
"Dare not dare."
Wan Yankang quickly waved his hand and said: "The status of the Duke is prominent, and now our Northern Liao people are also people under the rule of the Great Sui Emperor. How dare we break the rules? No matter what, this etiquette cannot be messed up."
Fang Jie smiled, but didn't insist: "I've come along and found that the people of the Beiliao tribe have adapted to life in the Central Plains. Is this place better than the Hundred Thousand Mountains?"
"good!"
Wan Yankang said sincerely: "How can it be a little bit better? The Duke has never been to the Hundred Thousand Mountains, so he doesn't know how bitter and cold it is. In order to avoid the oppression and pursuit of the Mongols, we Bei Liao people had no choice but to keep going. They retreated into the mountains, and the deeper they retreated, the harder it was to live. Not to mention that the place could not harvest crops, even if it was chopped down with a saber, there would be a white mark on the ground, only the most cold-resistant pines and cypresses. In order to survive, if you want to eat, you can only hunt. Fortunately, there are no shortage of things like roe deer and snow rabbits in the mountains, otherwise I don’t know how to live.”
Fang Jie nodded: "The days will always get better and better. Now the Beiliao tribe has taken root in Eastern Xinjiang, built a house, and has its own fields. It won't take long to be prosperous and well-off. Although Da Sui is a little small now Chaos, but the world is still the world of His Majesty the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty. Since His Majesty promised the Northern Liao tribe to settle in Eastern Xinjiang, he would not treat you as outsiders. Before I came, Her Royal Highness the Great Sui Princess made a special confession that the second son of the Northern Liao tribe You don’t have to pay taxes to the court for ten years, just rest and recuperate.”
"ah?"
Wanyan Kang was stunned for a moment, and quickly stood up to thank: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your mercy, and thank you, Grand Duke, for your mercy!"
Fang Jie smiled and said, "Take it as a gift I brought from the Beiliao tribe."
"correct."
He looked around and asked, "Why didn't you see His Highness Chongde?"
Wan Yankang's complexion changed, he smiled embarrassingly and said: "Chongde is... sick and recuperating, please don't be offended by the Duke, after he recovers, he will definitely come to see the Duke."
Fang Jie smiled: "Chongde and I are close friends. We fought side by side in the Northwest of the Sui Dynasty. Without his help at that time, our Black Banner Army would not have achieved what it is today. In other words, without Because of Chongde's bloody battles in the northwest of the Great Sui Dynasty, His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty would not allow the Beiliao tribe to enter the pass. At the beginning, His Majesty had issued a decree to reward the meritorious deeds of Chongde, and even asked people to draw a portrait of Chongde. It should still be stored in the Tai Chi Palace in Chang'an City."
"ah?"
Fang Jie's words really frightened Wanyan Kang.
"so."
"Privately speaking, Chongde is my good friend, a colleague who fought together in the sea of corpses and blood, and Yunshu's elder brother. I must go and see him. A minister of meritorious service in the Sui Dynasty, I naturally want to see him this time. Neither public nor private, but he is ill, so I still ask to see him."
"this… "
Wan Yankang quickly stood up: "It's really inconvenient for Chongde to see guests now...he is very sick."
"how?"
Fang Jie looked at Wan Yankang who was standing in front of him: "Is Special Service trying to stop me?"
He glanced at the warriors of the Northern Liao nationality who were holding knives nervously outside the tent, and a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes: "On the way here, I met some people who thought that this is the Eastern Xinjiang, not the Southwest, and they can influence me." But he is wrong, no matter where or who he is, he can’t do this. Even though the Black Banner Army is far in the southwest, I’m in the eastern border, but I see no one has the guts Draw your sword in front of me."
He walked out, while the Northern Liao warriors outside the tent retreated step by step.
"Asshole!"
At this moment, there was a shout from outside: "Are any of you who fought side by side with the Duke in the northwest? Stand up!"
Nalan Dingdong took a big step forward and said with a gloomy face, "Could it be that the people in Beiliao have forgotten how to treat their friends?"
Some of the warriors looked ashamed, retracted the saber and walked aside. The rest of the people looked at each other, and then looked at Wanyan Kang. But Wanyankang dared to order to draw his sword even if one person is under one person and over ten thousand people in the Northern Liao tribe
Fang Jie's reputation is now deafeningly resounding throughout the world!
"I remember you."
Fang Jie pointed to one of the warriors: "When you were in the northwest, you obeyed orders under Chongde's tent, right? Take me to see him."
The samurai hesitated for a while, then gritted his teeth and nodded: "Yes!"
Just as they were about to leave, Wanyan Kang said with an extremely ugly face from behind: "Master, this seems a bit inappropriate to be a guest? Even if the Duke is also a guest of my Bei Liao tribe, it is really good to embarrass the master like this." ?"
Boom!
Fang Jie stomped his feet, and the big tent behind Wanyan Kang collapsed, and a deep hole sank into the ground, and the whole big tent was swallowed by this deep hole. The dust immediately flew up like a storm.
"Cough cough cough."
Wan Yankang coughed and crawled out from under the tent in embarrassment, his body was covered in dust, and his face was so dusty that he looked extremely embarrassed.
Fang Jie glanced back at him: "How could it embarrass you just now, but now."
After saying this, he walked out, and the soldiers who had followed Wanyan Chongde in the Northwest battle gathered in front of him and took the initiative to lead the way for Fang Jie. Wanyan Kang spit out a mouthful of dirt, his eyes full of resentment. His subordinates hurried over to help him up, but he threw them away: "Send someone to Mu's mansion, tell Ning Guogong that Fang Jie is here, there is no kindness!"
…
…
big tent
Wanyan Chongde watched Fang Xie open his mouth but didn't know what to say, he stood there in a daze, his eyes gradually turned red. Fang Jie smiled at him gently, then strode over to give him a bear hug: "I thought that after arriving in Eastern Xinjiang, your life would be more comfortable, but I didn't expect to be so depressed and depressed." , you wouldn’t have told me earlier? No matter how far it is from the southwest, if you have something to do, how could I not come?”
Wanyan Chongde had a sore nose and wiped away the moisture from the corners of his eyes: "I didn't expect it to be so difficult. After entering the customs, it's better to be steadfast outside the customs. I thought I could solve all these things, but I didn't expect it to be like this... Besides, It was not easy to write a letter to you later. They sent out the letter to Yunshu after reading it. They didn't understand what I wanted to say in the letter at all. Fortunately... you understand! "
Fang Jie let go and found a place to sit down: "I understand, but I never thought that you don't even have freedom now."
"well!"
Wanyan Chongde sighed: "Father Khan's lifelong wish is to move his tribe to the Central Plains and leave the harsh and barren land of Shiwan Dashan. Now that his wish has finally been fulfilled, how can he be careless? So I also understand that he does not want to dare What conflicts with the people in the Mufu, and humility to the Han people, because he feels that such a day is hard-won, so I don't blame him... It's just that some people take advantage of his thoughts... These people make me worry."
"You really only brought more than a hundred people here?"
He couldn't wait to ask Fang for an explanation.
"more than."
Fang Jie answered with a smile.
"I knew it!"
Wanyan Chongde's eyes lit up immediately: "I knew it was impossible for you to bring more than a hundred people here. After all, this is not the southwest, and you can overwhelm the place with a single word. Tell me quickly how many people you brought? Where are you?" ?”
"A total of 200 people were brought in, and another 100 people stayed outside to meet them."
Fang Jie answered.
"ah?"
Wanyan Chongde's complexion darkened again, and he slumped on the chair with some powerlessness: "What's the difference between two hundred people... and one hundred people? Now Wanyan Kang and the people from Mufu are colluding to deceive Father Khan. There are many people in Mufu... The young master is by Wanyan Kang's side, I suspect that Father Khan is not aware of it, but now even he is a little weak... "
"I'm here, so you don't have to worry about anything."
Fang Jie patted Yan Chongde on the shoulder: "I observed after I came in, and the current speculation is similar to what you just said. The reason why Da Khan made friends with the Han people at the beginning was to make the tribe more stable. The Mufu sent people To show kindness, Da Khan naturally wants it, but you stand up and remind him at this time, he must not let you get in touch with the people in the Mu Mansion, so he asked Wanyan Kang to contact the people in the Mu Mansion... "
Fang Jie smiled: "Everything is within his calculations, how can you be undefeated?"
"But even if you come, what can you do if you only bring these people?"
Wanyan Chongde said with some disappointment.
"How can it be useless?"
Fang Jie said with a smile: "The Beiliao people's every move is clearly calculated by them, and even how you take every step has been planned out. If you take the first step along with him, you will follow every step of the way." But I am not, even if I come alone, they will tremble in their hearts, because I am someone beyond their calculations... "
"What are your plans?"
Wanyan Zhongde asked with renewed hope.
"without."
Fang Jie shook his head: "I just came here, so what's my plan? Now I'm just looking at the situation, and I'll just look for you in two days. I'll be staying at your place today, please tell me more about the situation. "
Fang Jie went to the couch and stretched comfortably: "Is there any special service? Your sister went to see your father. As an uncle, you shouldn't arrange for a beautiful woman to beat my back for me." Kind of?"
Wanyan Chongde really didn't know where Fang Xie's self-confidence came from, so he could only sit down and say, "Beiliao people never lack beautiful women. If your subordinates want to find wives, after this matter is over, I can do it for them next to each other." Matchmaker. But you are the only one who can’t do it... give up!”
Fang Jie sighed: "I knew it was like this. I would have known that I would have lived in the place arranged by Yan Kang, and I would definitely have a particularly good harvest."
Wanyan Chongde rolled his eyes at him, not knowing how to speak.
"Speak."
Fang Jie closed his eyes and said, "I need to know more."
