Fang Jie didn't leave Wanyan Chongde's tent for the whole afternoon. This tent was a bit shabby compared to Wanyan Chongde's status. You must know that the nobles of the Beiliao had already lived in the deep house compound. Han Wanyanyong's only son, but he still lives in such a place is already a good example of the problem.
However, sometimes the problems explained are only on the surface, and no one knows what is behind the surface. For example, if the sea is calm, you don’t know if there are dark waves, and if the sea is turbulent, you don’t know that the bottom is very calm. The sea is like this, let alone People's hearts
With Fang Jie's current status, he did not live in the mansion arranged for him, but lived with Wanyan Chongde, who was almost passed away by the people of the Northern Liao nationality. This was already a very clear attitude. What surprised the people of the Northern Liao nationality even more was that Wanyan Yunshu did not stay in the big man Wanyanyong's mansion that night, but returned to the separate camp of Fang Jie's subordinates.
No matter how you look at it, things are a bit unusual.
When the sun just rises from the east, the Beiliao people who are used to learning how the Han people work at sunrise get up early. A touch of out-of-season green under a rock will make them ecstatic, and they'll chatter to see if it's time to plant the seeds.
What is contentment
They are satisfied with walking around their own fields every day, oh no... it can't be regarded as their own fields, this is the fields of the Beiliao tribe. Nominally, this piece of land belongs to their Han Dynasty, and it is the new homeland given to the Northern Liao people by the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty.
Few people can understand the feelings of the people of the Northern Liao nationality who walk around the fields every day, just as no one can understand the look in their eyes. The Han farmers sent by the Mu Mansion to teach the Beiliao people how to grow grain and vegetables would always laugh at the stinginess of the Beiliao people for making them excited and dancing with a few grains of grain from the thin fields, as if they hadn’t seen It's like crops that can beat food.
Yep, they really haven't met before.
Han farmers would be annoyed when they saw only a little food in their fields, but the Beiliao people would not, they would be excited, happy, and feel that everything is so beautiful.
If it is the first time for a Han Chinese who does not know the Beiliao people to come here, he will feel that he must have arrived in another world. This group of rough men from the Northern Liao Dynasty would squat on the ground and look at a green tree with focused eyes, would stick out their noses to smell the fragrance of flowers endlessly, and would look at the weeping willows swaying in the wind and giggle silly.
In the first year when the Beiliao people moved to Dongjiang, when they set foot on this land, the scene of countless people lying and rolling on the ground is still talked about by the Han people. That kind of intense excitement is much stronger than that of an inland person seeing the sea for the first time.
Among these Northern Liao people, the few who can stay awake are those who fought side by side with Fang Jie in the northwest of the Great Sui Dynasty. Not only because they have seen green, but also because they have lived in the Wolf Milk Mountain for a while, which has nothing to do with green, but has something to do with Han people.
This group of people has seen the dangers of the Han people.
"What you did yesterday will make Wanyan Kang more wary of you."
Wanyan Chongde said as he walked out: "You just came, and you stepped on the tent and collapsed it, and buried the special services of the Beiliao tribe under it. In any case, they will still treat Wanyan Kang as one of their own, not you, even if you are the son-in-law of the Beiliao tribe... Besides, you have already forced Wanyan Kang to the point where he has no way out and must fight with him. You are right."
"Pooh."
Fang Jie looked at Wanyan Chongde and yelled: "You know why you should blame me. Don't tell me that if I don't give Wanyan Kang a bad blow, he will stand by my side? Too much going around, it's not real."
Wanyan Chongde was stunned for a moment and then smiled: "Then you have never been in love before!"
Fang Jie rolled his eyes at him: "Actually, the reasoning is extremely simple. Everyone knows that my sudden appearance in Dongjiang is by no means really bringing my daughter-in-law back to her mother's house for a visit. That's why the people in Mu's Mansion came to me as soon as I arrived. It was even Mu Guangling's son Mu Xianjun who came, why did they come to see me?"
"After talking about Yan Kang, if I show weakness when he is strong, then he will become more and more powerful... Now, I will startle the people sent by Mu's residence, and Mu Guangling will think that I have left his own. Why does the site still do what it wants? I buried Wanyan Kang under the tent, and Wanyan Kang would think why I was so arrogant and unreasonable."
"Yeah, why are you doing this? You didn't tell me, okay?"
Wanyan Chongde said a little depressed.
"Why?"
Fang Jie smiled: "If I have something to rely on, why am I bluffing people like this? It is because I have nothing to rely on that I bluff like this."
Wanyan Chongde was silent, and then sighed slightly: "Fang Jie, is it true that your purpose of coming here is only to set the bottom line and take me away if there is no other way?"
"Um."
Fang Jie nodded: "You are right, this is my bottom line. First, I will not kill your father because of you."
Wanyan Chongde glared at Fang Jie.
Fang Jie laughed and said, "Don't stare at me, it's the truth. Second, I won't kill Wanyankang before I know everything about it."
"And why?"
Wanyan Chongde asked.
Fang Jie said: "I don't know what Dahan thinks about it. If he is only angry with you, then things will be easy. If Dahan really despairs of you, if I kill Wanyankang , then we can only push Da Khan more solidly to the Mu residence. People have a rebellious mentality, especially those in high positions."
Wanyan Chongde knew that Fang's explanation made sense, even he himself didn't know what his father was thinking. If his father really intends to pass on the position of Khan to Wanyan Kang, if Fang Jie kills Wanyan Kang, then his father will be completely desperate for him, right
Fang Jie patted him on the shoulder: "Let's wait for my news."
He walked towards the big house: "I'll go see your father first."
…
…
Although the Beiliao people have gradually integrated into the Han society, they have absorbed all the living habits of the Han people eagerly. Make tea and chat in the winter afternoon, I will start to try to cut the meat into thin shreds and stir-fry instead of eating large pieces of roast meat, but... there will still be many inherent habits that are difficult to change.
For example, even though Wan Yanyong, the Great Khan of the Northern Liao Dynasty lived in the most spacious and bright mansion, he still used to call this mansion a treasure tent. According to the will of God Bless Emperor Yang Yi, after entering the customs, Wan Yanyong was granted the title of Marquis of Northern Liao Dynasty, so this house should be called the Marquis Mansion.
The big gilt characters on the plaque hanging on the main entrance of the house were indeed Beiliao Marquis Mansion, but Wan Yanyong was still used to the name Baozhang. Just like the golden tent of Kuoketai Mengge, the Great Khan of Meng Yuan, it is no longer a big tent, but a very magnificent building.
study
Fang Jie looked at the old man in the costume of the Marquis of the Sui Dynasty in front of him, and always felt that there was something hidden behind the eyes of this old man who had already turned gray. When Fang Jie entered the door, he saluted solemnly with the etiquette of juniors, and Wan Yanyong accepted it calmly. Then Wan Yanyong saluted Fang Xie as a marquis, after all, Fang Xie is now the first-class Duke of the Sui Dynasty.
Fang Jie refused to accept it, and turned his body away to avoid it.
The tea has become slightly cold, but there are not many words between the two of them.
"Yun Shu said, you are very good to her."
Although Wan Yanyong is old, he still looks very strong. He has a typical Northern Liao man's magnificent figure and rough appearance. His eyebrows are very thick, and it can be seen that the two sword eyebrows must have been sharp when he was young, but now they are a little soft, or the corners of the eyebrows have drooped.
He seems to be in a daze from time to time. It seems that this is a very rude behavior, but it will be like this when people reach a certain age. Fang Xie can understand the behavior of an old man who is a little mentally exhausted. However, for some unknown reason, Fang Jie looked into his eyes a few times seemingly inadvertently.
"It should."
Fang Jie smiled and said: "Yunshu chose to follow me when I was not settled down. In addition to my feelings for her, I also have a kind of gratitude in my heart. Besides, I always think that if a man even treats himself If women are better at doing it, then they can't do most things."
"That's a good word!"
Wan Yanyong raised his head to look at Fang Jie, and smiled: "Our Beiliao men are like this. They are beasts when facing the enemy, but when facing the woman they love, they are better than mastiffs to their masters." loyalty."
"Actually... in your current capacity, I can take the risk to accompany Yunshu back, and I can understand your feelings for her. As a father, I am very happy that she has found the best home. The men of our Northern Liao nationality are not very good. You are good at expressing yourself, but our feelings are equally sincere. You are good to my daughter, how can we be bad to you?"
These words seemed to be spoken smoothly, but Fang Jie was keenly aware that the meaning of the last sentence did not match the meaning of the previous few sentences.
"I know you have met people from the Mu Mansion before you came here."
Wan Yanyong sighed and said: "In fact, there is no right or wrong in this matter. The people in Mu's residence may not know that my daughter followed you. They will definitely pay attention to your sudden appearance in Dongjiang. And You don't know that I have sworn brothers with Mu Guangling, the father-in-law of the Mu Mansion, so it's not rude to respond like that, after all, your current status does not allow anyone to violate it."
Fang Jie shook his head: "A man, no matter what his status, will never allow others to deliberately violate him. This has nothing to do with whether I am the Duke of the Sui Dynasty. Even if I am just an ordinary citizen, I will still do that day .”
Wan Yanyong seemed to be slightly stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered: "Very good, if this is the case, I will feel more at ease in handing Yunshu over to you."
"Have you seen Chongde?"
he asks.
"I've seen it."
Fang Jie answered.
"Um."
Wan Yanyong nodded, then fell silent. Fang Jie was not in a hurry, and looked out the window while holding the still warm teacup, without saying a word.
After a long time like this, Wan Yanyong sighed and said: "I am the Marquis of the Northern Liao Dynasty conferred by His Majesty the Sui Emperor, but no matter what time I am, I am the Great Khan of the Northern Liao Clan, so no matter what I do Any choice is for the consideration of the entire Beiliao tribe. No matter who it is, as long as it does something that is not good for the tribe, or even leads the tribe to destruction, I will not agree to it. I will stop it with the right of the Great Khan !"
Fang Jie looked into his eyes and smiled: "Understood, it would be the same for me."
Wan Yanyong saw Fang Jie smiled, and smiled too: "It's good that you understand, even though Chongde is my only son, he can't do things that are sorry to the tribe. The same is true for other people, whoever does something that is sorry to the Beiliao tribe The matter is my Wan Yanyong's enemy. Even if he dies in front of me, I will not feel sorry for him!"
It seemed a little weird to say such murderous words with a smile.
But the killing intent behind that smile was clearly so clear and cold.
"Um."
Fang Jie still nodded: "It should be like this."
"I'm sweaty."
This is what Wan Yanyong emphasized more than once.
"But I'm still an elder brother and a father. There are some things I have to distinguish clearly. You Han people have a saying that time will tell people's hearts. I think it's very good. So I think, if you want to see clearly the depths of a person's heart What do you think, you can only read slowly and carefully. I am sweaty, I want to read more than others. More things, more people... But, many people don't understand me hardship."
"I understand."
Fang explained.
"You understand?"
Wan Yanyong looked at Fang Jie with questioning eyes: "Even the people around me don't understand me, how can you understand me after only one day in the tribe?"
"because… "
Fang Jie said with a smile: "In any case, I am still an outsider to the Beiliao tribe."
"yes… "
Wan Yanyong also laughed, more clearly than before: "It's good that you are an outsider."
