Chapter 120

(sincere overlords add a collection for this book. Thank you.)

Fang Xie stayed at the dome until the next morning, although his conversation with the emperor was over after only half an hour or so. But the gate of Changchun Garden has been closed. No one can open the gate without your Majesty's will. Fang Xie was arranged to sleep in an idle room for one night. The next morning, he found that no one cared about himself at all.

His majesty asked about fan Gu for the second time, but Fang Xie had his own excuse and had spoken to Zhuo Buyi. He knew the answer given to his majesty by the Imperial Guard, and he didn't have the strong courage to break the lie for the time being. He had left before the fan Gu tragedy. He didn't see Li Yuanshan leading the army to kill the city. Zhuo Buyi didn't deceive him and told him what really happened, and now he has no ability to avenge fan Gu's villagers.

If he were more impulsive, maybe he would tell the truth about it. But there is no doubt that Li Xiaozong and Li Yuanshan were not the first to die. It was him, because he killed the inspector sent by the imperial court to fan Gu. No one can testify for him. He was wronged by Li Yuanshan.

In his present position, it is impossible for him to influence his Majesty's decision.

The imperial court is about to start a war in the northwest, and the northwest is the residence of youxiaowei. In this war, the first person to lead the army to rush up must be Li Yuanshan's youxiaowei! At this time, it is not difficult for the emperor to make a choice. Is it to kill a first-class aristocratic family for the so-called justice to avenge fan Gu's 2000 people and 800 border troops, or to pretend that he doesn't know anything, encourage or even reward Li Yuanshan, and let him lead his troops to establish the greatest merit for the great Sui Dynasty in a century!

For a moment, Fang Xie felt that the truth was about to slip out of his mouth. But he bit his lips and forced himself to swallow those words back into his stomach.

While lying in bed in the room, Fang Xie even thought of a possibility.

That is, your majesty probably knew what had happened to fan Gu from beginning to end, but it was precisely because of the upcoming war that the emperor chose tolerance for the supreme glory of the Empire and the real ambition of the great Sui Dynasty. He tolerated and deceived his right Xiaowei General Li Yuanshan, and forgave the evil fan gubian army tooth General Li Xiaozong.

What he needs now is a general who can win the war, not a criminal who affects the solid foundation of the Sui Dynasty. When thinking of this, Fang Xie couldn't help being scared out of a cold sweat. If the fact is as he speculated, will the emperor kill fan Gu mercilessly once he tells him about fan Gu?

Fang Xie knew that he had done something for the emperor to appreciate, such as the small character method of arithmetic, the pinyin annotation method, and the nondescript eighth set of radio gymnastics. But what are these compared with the glory of the Empire and the stability of the imperial court?

If Fang Xie is the emperor, he can also make a choice easily.

Fortunately, Fang Xie didn't even feel sleepy.

The young man lying in bed muttered to himself. Maybe he didn't even hear what he said.

The porridge tastes good. You can't drink it only once.

Porridge is just porridge, no matter how exquisite it is.

But the place where you drink porridge is unusual.

He got up from his bed and moved wildly in the narrow room. He punched several times, and then reviewed the knife taught by the old lame several times empty handed. It was not until after midnight that Fang Xie threw herself into bed. Fatigue made him not think about fan Gu's villagers for the time being.

When Fang Xie opened his eyes, the sky had not fully lit up. The East has just turned white. In summer, the sky always shines very early, and the sun is already dim when it doesn't rise. But in fact, Fang Xie speculated that it was around 5 a.m.

He got up and arranged his clothes. Then he found water in the house and washed his face. When he went out, he politely greeted the flying fish robe patrolling, although no one responded to him. Eunuch, palace maid and bodyguard watched the smiling teenager leave. No one could understand why he looked so happy.

Is Fang Xie happy?

When he left changchunyuan, he always had a smile on his mouth, so that the muscles on his face began to stiff and sour. He went to the door and found his red horse clothes, and then generously gave the groom who kept the horses a silver note of one hundred Liang. Looking at the smile on the corner of the groom's mouth, Fang Xie also smiled.

He left with a smile from beginning to end.

Similarly, the emperor, who got up early and made a physical fist, took the towel handed over by Su Buwei, wiped the sweat on his forehead and asked, "did you just go?"

"Your Majesty, he's gone. Fang Xie slept late last night and has been boxing in the house. It seems that he should be preparing for today's martial arts exam. He didn't sleep until about midnight, but he got up before dawn. After washing, he found a place to store his cold blood BMW and gave the groom a silver note of one hundred liang of silver. He talked with all the people he met along the way He smiled and said hello. He looked very happy. He was a little confused and lost his temper. After going out, he looked back here from time to time. He seemed reluctant to give up. "

After hearing Su Buwei's words, the emperor was slightly stunned. He picked up the tea cup on the stone table, drank a mouthwash, and then took a deep breath of the cool morning air.

"He is a smart man. At least he knows what to say and what not to say. At least he knows when to play what kind of play. At least he knows to leave with a smile or even a little complacent. He has to pretend to be reluctant to part. Let everyone see that he is very proud because I saw him."

The emperor smiled and turned to the low wooden houses.

Su Buwei, um, repeated the emperor's words: "indeed... He is a smart man."

As he walked, the emperor said, "I like smart people, and I prefer people with self-knowledge. However, he has to fight for more than one hour to make himself exhausted and stop thinking. Obviously, he still needs to grow up and learn a lot."

Su Buwei was silent for a moment and asked, "what about the martial arts examination of the martial arts academy today?"

The emperor paused slightly, then turned and looked in the direction of the martial arts academy. He said a thought-provoking sentence. Su Buwei, who thought he knew the emperor, didn't understand it at all. He didn't understand a word, so he wisely chose not to ask.

"I don't know if President Zhou will agree to a second time."

Second what?

Su Buwei was very curious, but he didn't dare to hang his curiosity on his face.

……

……

When Fang Xie arrived at the martial arts academy, the sun had climbed over the tall city wall of the imperial capital Chang'an. Only in the morning, the weather was already hot and uncomfortable. Compared with Chang'an, which has four distinct seasons, Fang Xie seems to prefer fan Gu. The remote northwest border town seems to have only two climates in a year.

It's cold, and it's colder than it is.

Are the four seasons in Chang'an more beautiful? Or is fan Gu's cold more beautiful?

Fang Xie knows that he can't find the answer now, and when he finds the answer, maybe this question will be meaningless. At that time, how far will fan Gu be from him?

Is it always that far?

Leading his red horse into the gate of the martial arts academy, Fang Xie didn't deliberately show any high profile. He lined up according to the rules and didn't even mind showing a kind and slightly ashamed smile to everyone who looked at him. By this time, he had no need to put on a high profile. The Emperor gave him a very high position yesterday, many times higher than the high profile he showed himself.

Even if he is hiding in the crowd now, people will find him easily.

When entering the door, Fang Xie saw the female professor with bright white eyes, so he used to say hello politely.

"Yes, sir"

Fang Xie bowed slightly to salute.

Qiu Yu looked up at him, smiled and nodded slightly. Pointing to the direction of the school field, he said, "the four tests of martial arts will start there. You can have a rest first. If you haven't eaten yet, you can find the breakfast provided by the martial arts academy for the candidates on the left side of the school field. It's very rich and you can choose at will."

Fang Xie said thank you and led nishang slowly to the school yard. After four or five steps out, he stopped again, turned back and asked Qiu Yu with a smile: "can you recommend what is more delicious?"

Qiu Yu looked at him with great interest, picked his mouth and said, "before I tell you what's delicious, should I first tell you that the mornings provided by the martial arts academy are not free. The more delicious things are, the more expensive they are. However... The steamed buns with crab roe porridge and mushroom egg stuffing are good, not very greasy."

When it came to the word "greasy", her tone was a little heavier.

"Is it expensive?"

Fang Xie asked.

"It's the cheapest."

Qiu Yu answered.

Fang Xie said well and thanked again.

When his figure disappeared in the garden, Professor Yan Qing, who greeted the guests at the gate yesterday, came to Qiu Yu, looked at the direction Fang Xie walked past, and asked in a low voice, "are you cheating for him?"

Qiu Yu stood up, slammed the roster in his hand and said with a smile, "as a professor of the martial arts academy, I have always adhered to fairness and justice, and will never do anything wrong because of my personal preference. Any candidate who asks me this question, I will give such an answer. But unfortunately, so far, only he has asked me. Do you think it's cheating?"

Yan Qing couldn't help laughing and shook her head to show her helplessness.

"Maybe only he is so boring will he ask what is better for breakfast and what is cheaper."

Yan Qing said.

"Who knows?"

Qiu Yu turned smartly and left with the roster in his arms. The pace is light and the back is graceful.

……

……

When Fang Xie reached the left side of the school field, many candidates had dinner here. In fact, in order to show respect for the Academy, most students didn't have breakfast outside, because when the liberal arts examination ended yesterday, the invigilator specially said that the Academy will prepare a rich breakfast tomorrow morning. Because it is a martial arts examination, the time may be longer and more tired, so I suggest you eat breakfast after you arrive at the Academy, If you eat too early, I'm afraid you won't last until the end of the exam.

No one knows that this sentence has determined the fate of many people.

Fang Xie also had two boring words with Qiu Yu when he entered the door, so his fate was different from that of many people. After the exam, people who knew about it said that Fang Xie was lucky, but few people thought about it carefully. Is it really just luck?

Fang Xie looked at the food. It was so rich that people couldn't help admiring it. There are a wide variety of sheep, even the whole sheep with golden crispy aroma roasted on a wooden frame. Stewed beef, pickled pig's feet, crystal elbows, roast geese and roast chicken are packed on large plates and piled on the table. The meat fragrance permeates the whole school yard. Besides the smell of meat, there is also the smell of wine. It's actually the wine made by Shenquan mountain villa. It's mellow and powerful.

In order to prepare these foods, Fang Xie can't imagine how many people stayed up all night last night.

Every kind of food is very attractive, and so is wine. But Fang Xie only chose the cheapest steamed stuffed buns with crab roe porridge and mushrooms and eggs. And did not eat more, only ate six full.

When the examiners came to announce the first exam, Fang Xie knew how right his choice was. Recalling the female professor Qiu Yu smiling and saying that the crab roe porridge was good, I found that the little tiger tooth she showed was so cute.

The first exam, running.

Everyone should rush out of the martial arts academy as fast as possible, out of the South Gate of Chang'an, and then to the martial arts arena thirty miles away. After a lap on the huge school field of the martial arts training ground, it ends at Tucheng. Who arrives first gets the highest score. The purpose of this examination is to test the physical fitness of candidates. How can soldiers not have a good body?

It's a simple rule, but it hurts most people.

Because of the examiner's words yesterday, almost everyone ate very full. It can be imagined how painful it is to run for more than 40 miles when your stomach is full of food.

Vomit

Vomit

People vomit all the way.
