Chapter 56: Reason
On a quiet night, some people fall asleep, while others can’t sleep.
Finally comforting the general, when he went to bed, Fang Hengxi walked to the pavilion with a teapot and carefully wiped the stone table and stone chairs. This was a wealthy house in the town. Although it was luxuriously built, it was not cared for. The gaps in the carving of the stone table were filled with melon seed shells.
When Tang Chizhou came, he saw Fang Heng slanting under the light, using an embroidery needle to pick the melon seed shells out of the gap.
"I don't know you have this kind of hobby," he said.
Fang Heng raised his head slantedly and placed the picked melon seed shell in his handkerchief: "The place to welcome guests should not be too shabby."
Tang Chizhou, who was about to sit down, looked up at him and said, "I am a distinguished guest?"
Fang Heng said: "I am noble and come from afar. Aren't you a distinguished guest?"
Tang Chizhou's butt was dipped on the stone bench, and when he saw that there was nothing wrong, he sat down completely: "The Lord of the Mansion has been lifted up, and it is known to everyone that I am the confidant of the Lord of the Heavenly Lord."
Fang Hengxie smiled and poured tea: "I almost thought so."
Tang Chizhou coughed dryly and said, "I didn't touch a hair from the Lord Xie Island."
"I'm not worried about my senior brother." Fang Heng stopped at the slanting point.
Tang Chizhou understood what he meant. With Xie Feishi's martial arts, he was overestimated by his ability to move. His tone became sharper, and he vented the anger that Xie Fei was suffering from: "The Lord Fang and the Prince were on the same boat, and they all prospered and lost. What Lord Xie did was very embarrassing to the Lord."
Fang Heng shook his head slanted: "The prince and I are sitting on two ships."
Tang Chizhou's face suddenly became ugly.
Fang Hengxi slowly continued: "Just go in the same direction."
Tang Chizhou said: "No matter what, the lord of the palace should not let Lord Xie Dao."
Fang Heng said with a slight elevation: "He is my senior brother, I am his junior brother, and the elders are in order. He has always let me go. Where is the reason for me to let him go?"
Tang Chizhou said in surprise: "Do you want to watch Mu Zhengliu bring the account book to the capital? Shen Zheng and Shengjuan Zhenglong, if the account book is in his hands, I am afraid that the owner of the government will be ruined for many years."
Fang Hengxie said: "That's why I want to ask Lord Tang to help me two more."
“What’s the busy thing?”
"Find a man nicknamed "Hulu Niang" and send someone to transport a batch of weapons to Beijing."
Tang Chizhou said in surprise: "What?"
Fang Heng said: "One of the reasons why Shen Zhenghe was impeached was to indulge his subordinates in private storage of weapons. After the incident, the subordinate committed suicide that night, and the whereabouts of the weapons he had hidden were unknown. The emperor did not pursue the matter for Shen Zhenghe's elders of the three dynasties."
Tang Chizhou said: "Do you suspect the weapon is in Shen Zhenghe's hands?"
"After that, several of Shen Zhenghe's confidants left the capital with their subordinates' families. I sent people to pursue their whereabouts, and chased them all the way to the southwest, and then...the world disappeared."
"Do you suspect that the weapons are hidden in the southwest? No wonder you sent Lord Xie to the southwest and asked me to pay close attention to the movements in the southwest." Tang Chizhou's inspiration flashed, "Did you acquiesced Shen Zhenghe and the installation of Mu Zheng and the Weapon Bureau of Pingbo City to find out the whereabouts of these weapons?"
"Mu Zhengliu is the son of Shen Zhenghe's first counselor, and he is smart by nature. After his father's death, Shen Zhenghe regards him as his own. Once he arrives at Pingbo City Military Weapons Bureau, he will definitely not be mediocre. As long as he sees the clues, you will definitely take action. Once you act, he, who is isolated in the southwest, can only turn to Shen Zhenghe's hidden forces in the local area."
Tang Chizhou looked at Fang Hengxie, who was calm and composed, and his breath was stuck in his chest, neither up nor down!
In order to chase and kill Mu Zhenliu and Xie Fei, he felt ashamed of the other party's slanting, but he didn't think that it was the other party's leading role!
He patted the stone table: "But you didn't expect Lord Xie to take action, did you?"
Fang Heng said with a sloping slant: "I did not expect it."
"Do you regret it?" Tang Chizhou was a little gloating.
Fang Heng smiled and said, "I am very happy for Senior Brother to meet his beloved."
Tang Chizhou sneered: "I'm not sincere."
"Every word is heart-warming." Fang Heng said in a slanting manner, "In the eyes of General Tang, am I a cold-blooded and ruthless person to achieve his goal?"
Tang Chizhou looked at him without any concealment for a while and said, "I can't see through you." After a pause, he added as if he was venting his anger, "I don't know what you are thinking at all!"
Fang Hengxi pushed the poured tea in front of him and said, "General Tang believes that the road ahead will be bright."
"I don't believe you, how do you believe in the future?" Tang Chizhou pushed tea away, "Why do you have to spend so much effort on just a batch of weapons?"
Fang Heng said: "Shen Zhenghe is a veteran of the three dynasties and is deeply favored by the emperor. He can take him off the horse by just one crime of privately storing weapons. This shows the number of these weapons. In addition, Shen Zhenghe has been deeply rooted over the years. Even if he does not make money by himself, his subordinates will naturally help him save it in different ways. Those things are military pay."
Tang Chizhou's face had changed: "Weapons, military pay...then he is..."
Fang Heng said with a glimpse: "Even if he doesn't want to do anything, with these two things, there are more people who want him to do something. Otherwise, the Qiansui Master wouldn't have invited him out of the mountain with a gaze."
Tang Chizhou said: "But he has no one under him."
Fang Heng looked at him with a smile.
Tang Chizhou took it to himself: "Although he doesn't have it, others have it. No matter who he cooperates with, he can quickly form a well-equipped army with sufficient military pay! However, the things are in the southwest, which is my territory, and it is not easy for him to transport the things that come from my mouth!"
"It doesn't mean it's impossible."
Tang Chizhou glared at him for a while, and found that what he said was indeed impossible to refute: "Then how are you going?"
"Found Hu Qiushui and send someone to transport weapons to Beijing."
“Why?”
Fang Heng smiled and said, "Help others to be happy."
When Tang Chizhou saw him keeping him in silence, he was so upset: "Haha!"
It was also a rushing road, with Xie Fei by his side, the road seemed to become smoother and smoother. The sky was raining, and a faint rainbow hung on the fields, and the sparrows happily flew from one side of the road to the other side.
Mu Zhengliu leaned against Xie Feishi's arms and closed her eyes to rest. After relaxing for several days, she felt exhausted all of her mind. In addition, she was so dizzy and sleepy when she woke up early in the morning.
Xie Fei hugged him, feeling extremely satisfied.
There were no people from the escort agency that were swaying around, nor did anyone from Tang Chizhou run to die without knowing it. The fresh air and the quiet countryside were only the two of them alone. Even if they were on the way, they could not express the sweetness and joy in their hearts.
Mu Zhengliu woke up in the afternoon.
Xie Fei slowed down and fed him with dry food.
Mu Zhengliu wanted to take it, but he avoided it.
Xie Fei smiled and said, "You are tired, so take a little longer."
Mu Zhengliu subconsciously looked around. Several farmers were removing weeds in the fields, awkwardly avoiding: "I'm not so tired."
Xie Fei pulled him.
Mu Zhenliu was almost pulled off the horse, but was wrapped around Xie Feishi's arm.
Xie Fei smiled wickedly and said, "Look, I'm so tired that I can't sit still."
Mu Zhengliu looked at him speechlessly.
"Be good, open your mouth." Xie Fei touched his lips with dry food.
Mu Zhengliu had no choice but to open his mouth to bite, but Xie Fei lifted his chin and kissed him hard.
Mu Zhengliu was shocked and struggled.
Xie Fei held him down and kissed him for a long time before letting go.
Mu Zhengliu went to see the farmer's face, and found that they were not focused at all, so he sighed relieved: "You..."
Xie Feishi said without any guilt: "Who told you to eat too slowly and make me hungry first?"
Mu Zhengliu reached out and snatched the dry food from his hand and started eating it on his own.
Xie Fei took advantage of the situation and did not make any more trouble. He quietly pulled the reins and controlled the horse's speed.
After Mu Zhenliu finished eating dry food, he saw a familiar mountain blocking his way ahead. He had a vague guess in his heart and couldn't help but jump: "Where is this?"
Xie Fei kissed his neck and didn't care if he was pushed away. He said with a relaxed expression: "Chongge Mountain. If you cross this mountain, you can leave the southwest."
finally……
Mu Zhengliu couldn't help but take a deep breath and exhale slowly.
