Chapter 237

Although Fang Xie had some doubts about the appearance of Wudang Mountain Taoist in Chang'an, Xie Fuyao didn't know what Liu Huizheng did, and Fang Xie couldn't find out. But at least he knew where the Taoists in Wudang Mountain lived, so the first thing Fang Xie did when he went back was to ask scholar Chen Xiaoru to watch at Shunde inn.

Even he didn't know why he was so sensitive to the Taoist of Wudang Mountain coming to Chang'an. Chen Xiaoru was sent by Su Buwei. He would not refuse Fang Xie's explanation. He took off the new clothes Fang Xie bought him and put on the dirty Confucian shirt again. Chen Xiaoru shook it three steps at a time.

Now, in fact, Fang Xie doesn't know what these three people are good at. But since Su Buwei chose such three people, there must be some basis.

Early this morning, he got the news from the little eunuch Mu San. It is said that his majesty mentioned Prince Yi when he saw huaiqiu Gongyu manlou and others. This is the first time his majesty has expressed dissatisfaction in front of the courtiers in recent days. Fang Xie was acutely aware of something. Perhaps... The emperor's patience would be worn away.

So he had to speed up the collection of evidence of Prince Yi's secret activities, although he didn't know why the emperor suddenly changed his attitude. He estimated that it had something to do with the march of the 12th army in February, but he couldn't think of what it had to do.

At the thought of the army's departure that day, Fang Xie had to think that the Taoist of Wudang Mountain arrived in the capital at this time. Is it also related to this matter?

Xie Fuyao is right. Liu Huizheng is a man of the same generation as Taoist Hezhen. This is because immortal Xiao was awarded as the leader of Taoism in the Sui Dynasty by the emperor. Otherwise, in terms of seniority, immortal Xiao should be regarded as the younger generation of immortal Zhang. Wudang Mountain sent such a powerful person. Who is it for?

Fang Xie just sat down in the chair. The little girl Zhuang die skillfully brought up the foot wash. Warm, just soak your feet. Fang Xie smiled at her. While she squatted down to take off her boots, she reached out and touched a small smooth back waist exposed by Zhuang die.

Zhuang die blushed and dodged.

She squatted on the ground, rubbed Fang Xie's feet and asked, "are you tired today, childe?"

Fang Xie smiled and shook his head and said, "how can you be tired? It's not working in the field. There's nothing tiring in the martial arts academy. It's very boring."

Zhuang die was surprised and said, "the martial arts academy shouldn't be very busy. You have to learn a lot of things, such as art of war, battle array, martial arts and riding. These things take up time and are tiring. Young master said you're not tired. I think it's because you're strong."

"How do you know if I'm strong?"

Fang Xie hehe smiled and teased Zhuang die with his fingers. Zhuang die blushed and avoided. She was silent for a while and asked, "young master, you must have a deep friendship with Prince Yi."

Fang Xie asked, "why do you ask?"

Zhuang die said, "otherwise, the childe went to the crescent tower the day before. Why did the people in Yiqin palace redeem me the next day? Childe was drunk that night. It was expected that the people who came to Yiqin palace would soon know. In order not to let others touch me again, they paid money to redeem me and send me to childe."

Fang Xie said, "Prince Yi is really good to me."

Zhuang die paused and asked, "I just don't understand why the people in Yiqin palace know so quickly? The childe still wore makeup when he went. Even if he stared at it, he couldn't recognize it at a glance."

Fang Xie sneered in his heart, but the expression on his face was still very gentle: "Prince Yi's romantic name is all over the world. People who want to come to the crescent building are also very familiar with Prince Yi. Maybe when Prince Yi went to the crescent building the next day, he told him a joke. That's why he asked someone to redeem you."

"Oh..."

Zhuang die then asked, "I heard that Prince Yi claims to be the most beautiful person in the world. Shouldn't a big man like him focus on state affairs? Why does he always linger in brothels and painted boats?"

"Prince Yi loves beauty."

Fang Xie said seriously, "Prince Yi is obsessed with the mountains and rivers and lingers in the painted boat brothel. It is because he is a really elegant man. He has a temperament like idle clouds and wild cranes. Naturally, he doesn't want to be entangled by worldly affairs."

Zhuang die hung her head and wiped Fang Xie's feet: "but when I was in the building, I heard that Prince Yi was really a man with great skills. It was really the loss of the great Sui Dynasty for people like him not to enter the dynasty. When I had nothing to talk with my sisters, they all said that Prince Yi had real talent and learning in his chest, which was really the talent of the prime minister."

Fang Xie said, "it's better to say less in the future. Prince Yi has his reason not to enter the court. It's just to talk about these words in his own house on weekdays, but don't talk nonsense with outsiders... Although I haven't seen Prince Yi several times, I also admire the king's behavior. If he enters the court, it will be a great good thing for the great Sui Dynasty!"

Zhuang die nodded: "don't worry, childe. I don't know anyone. Who can I talk to?"

"By the way... I heard that you have a deep friendship with Wu, the richest man in the Sui Dynasty. When you were in the building, they all said that you lived in Sanjin Hou's house. Because they knew that you were elegant, the sisters also discussed going to the door of the Hou's house more in their spare time."

"Really?"

Fang Xie said with a smile, "if I had known that I was destined for women, I should have gone to the crescent building earlier."

Seeing Fang Xie move the topic without any trace, Zhuang die's face changed slightly and asked with a smile, "childe, Wu Yidao is a legendary figure. You know him well. Tell me about it?"

……

……

After taking a bath under the service of Zhuang die, Fang Xie returned to the room and saw Shen Qing fan reading under the lamp. Shen qingfan's temperament has become more and more quiet recently. In the past, it was like a day in June. Seeing Fang Xie coming in, she raised her head, smiled gently and asked, "how's it going, how does it feel for a beauty to take a bath?"

Fang Xie glanced and said, "a firewood girl, I'm not interested in it!"

He said this with awe inspiring righteousness, but Shen qingfan couldn't help but give him a white look. His eyes went down Fang Xie's face and stayed in a place that was still alive for a while.

Fang Jieshan smiled: "this is a natural reaction..."

He sat down next to the heavy fan, naturally took her in his arms, whispered close to her ear: "This little girl has been testing the relationship between me and Wu Yi. Tomorrow, let the black boy follow her quietly to see how she can spread the news. Since tomorrow, let her buy vegetables and cook. Give her a convenient condition. In addition... Just because she has been testing the relationship between me and Wu Yi, it seems that they can't help fighting Wu Yi."

"What's the reason for not doing it?"

Shen qingfan asked softly, "the adults in the imperial court didn't start, even the Emperor didn't seem to be in a hurry to grab the goods."

Fang Xie said, "maybe the emperor is busy sending troops these days. After February 12, who knows if he will suddenly order to take the goods down to the court?"

"Return to the household department?"

The sinking fan asked again.

"It may also be taken directly into the custody of the Imperial Palace, and the emperor sent a trusted person to take the helm. Taking a goods all the way down the sky is equivalent to the tax paid by the Sui Dynasty for at least several decades... It's strange if the emperor is not greedy. As for why the adults haven't started yet, perhaps it's because Wu Yidao's things are frightening and they don't dare to act rashly if they don't get them."

After thinking for a while, he continued, "but if the emperor really took action on goods all over the world after sending troops, those people must not be able to sit still. The days of sending troops are running out, and they are now more anxious than Wu, so... Wu seems very calm."

"Fang Xie..."

The sinking fan opened its mouth and stopped talking.

"What's the matter?"

After a long silence, Shen qingfan asked softly, "if... If those people in the imperial court really want to attack Wu Yi, will you intervene?"

After this sentence was asked, Fang Xie also fell silent.

After a long time, Fang Xie slowly relaxed his airway: "I had advised myself many times. I couldn't intervene in this matter. I'd better hide far away. But it's useless... I can't do much, but I still have to try my best to save Wu Yidao's life. I can't help him guard the goods, but I can barely help him kill some people."

"In this way, all your efforts in Chang'an city are in vain?"

"It's in vain... There are some things you know you can't touch, but you still have to do them in the end. If you can hide it, it's best. If you can't hide it, it's a big deal. Let's escape from Chang'an City together. Meet the big dogs and find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers and live an ordinary life."

"Are you willing?"

Asked the sinking fan.

"Unwilling."

Fang Xie replied, "that's why I have to think about what to do. I don't want Wu to die together, nor do I want to lose my future. It's a difficult thing to achieve both ends... If I haven't thought of a way before those people start, I'll have to be stupid."

"You and I, together with the people around Wu, should have no problem keeping him alive and killing him out of Chang'an city."

Fang Xie sighed, "as long as the emperor doesn't intervene."

"Why do you think the emperor won't intervene?"

"Because he wants the goods to go down all over the world, not the heads of Wu and others. The emperor can save a lot of things if the courtiers make a fuss and Wu escape together... Besides, who knows if he just waits on purpose to see how many clowns jump out? Up to now, the one who can't guess his mind is the emperor sitting on the Dragon chair... Others can think of three days when they think about things But when the emperor thinks about things, he can often think of a few years, or even more than ten years later. "

Thinking of this, Fang Xie was suddenly stunned.

"Now that the Sui Dynasty is rich and the people are strong, it's not that it can't afford a war for several years... The emperor doesn't have to rush to receive goods. He's so bold that he can't only fight against the Mongol Yuan. If he fights against the Mongol Yuan for a long time, maybe the national strength of the Sui Dynasty will gradually decline after ten or twenty years... At that time, the emperor was very old "Isn't it good to leave the goods to the new emperor?"

"Good!"

Fang Xie answered himself, "it must be better than now!"

Shen qingfan couldn't help asking, "have you figured out something?"

"Yes!"

Fang Xie couldn't help laughing: "Wu Yidao must have thought of this too! At first, I thought he was only confident because he held the handle of the courtiers in his hand. Now I understand that there is another card in his hand, that is, the prince is young! So why did the emperor show interest in the decline of goods, so that all the adults jumped up uneasily?"

"Because the emperor is going to kill."

Fang Xie sneered: "Unfortunately, it's too late when the adults wake up. Most of these people... Are close to Prince Yi! In the final analysis, the emperor's goal is to abolish those who speak for Prince Yi. No wonder Wu has the confidence... He's just doing a big play with the emperor! How can people like the emperor tolerate courtiers to form parties for personal gain?"
