After being freed from the shackles on his body, Liu Xiuwen felt much more relaxed. He picked up the shackles with some disgust and placed them on the table, preparing to put them on before going out tomorrow.

Fang Chang also tasted the tea brought by Hu Xueqiu.

The tea tastes really good. Although it is incomparable to the homemade varieties on Xianqi Cliff, it is also a top-quality product. It has more crushed powders and floats on the surface of the tea. It needs to be blown away gently before it can be drunk.

"Liu Hanlin, why are you involved? Why are your wife here too?"

Put down the teacup and asked Fang Chang.

Liu Xiuwen leaned back slightly on the chair, as if he could only get some rest today:

“That’s a long story.”

"Two months ago, Zuo Langzhongling couldn't bear it anymore about the emperor's absurd behavior, so he gathered to criticize officials who had the same feelings, tempted the people around him, connected them in private, and signed them together to write a letter."

"I studied common affairs in Hanlin Garden. That was all the knowledge that the officials needed to be an official. The courses were not important, and I had enough energy to pay attention to the world. After hearing the content of this book, I felt deeply that I had the mission, so I made a name to persuade the king."

"Who knew that the power of the government had already fallen behind. Although this joint memorial was so powerful, after it was handed over, it didn't even make a splash. Maybe the emperor didn't even see it."

"The consequences are very serious. The enemy counterattacks very rapidly. One of us who wrote our names, one of us, was directly arrested and sentenced to exile."

"Before leaving, Xueqiu couldn't bear to part, nor could she bear to see me being sent to the border, so she sent her back to her family and asked them to return to their hometown in Huaifeng Mansion on their own, and then follow me to take care of her on the way."

"Originally, sir, you know that she has a different identity. She can rescue me and the couple will fly away together, but I did not agree. Being demoted for the country and the people is the supreme glory. If you escape in the middle, what should the people in the world think? This is definitely not the right way."

Telling these things, he sometimes became indignant and sometimes solemn, and finally looked at his wife lovingly.

Fang Chang nodded.

The causes and consequences are very simple, but not ordinary.

No matter which era, there are people who work hard, those who work hard, those who ask for the people, and those who sacrifice themselves for the Dharma... They are the backbone of the world.

Also, it is better known than a dash with a certain pseudonym. The name is placed after the dash, and the previous sentence immediately becomes a famous saying, even the "official history" written for emperors and generals often cannot cover up their glory.

But everyone's path is his own. He just sighed and asked, "What's the situation in the royal capital? How many people are already the other party's people?"

Liu Xiuwen thought for a while and said, "After the official position is in a small position, there is not much communication, and the understanding is not comprehensive. First of all, the officials around the emperor should have changed people. Among the left and right ministers who are in charge of the government, the right minister seems to have also surrendered to the enemy. The other departments, the Ministry of Personnel, the Criminal Department, and the Military Department are still firm and have not fallen, but most of the speech routes have fallen. There are also officials in various prefectures, and many of them have abnormal performance in their words and deeds."

Fang Chang thought for a while and he didn't know much about the government affairs, so he could only judge based on common sense: "That's fine, the situation is not bad enough to be unsaved, at least there is still a balanced power."

Liu Hanlin on the opposite side was more pessimistic. He shook his head and said to the other party: "But judging from the trend, we are still retreating step by step. It is only a matter of time before we can completely collapse. At that time, maybe those of us who have been sent to the border areas will be completely liquidated."

Finally, when he left the house and saw him off, he asked Fang Chang to say:

"Sir, you are powerful people. We mortals who have been demoted can only follow the trend and are unable to fight against the world's tide. I hope that you can investigate who is doing what you are doing for the people of the world. If you can take action to stop one or two, you will have great merit."

After saying that, scholar Liu Xiuwen bowed to the ground and stood up after a long time.

When I raised my head, I saw Fang Chang had already left.

He returned to the house with full of doubts and refused to mention it.

Fortunately, no officer ran into him and found that he had taken off his shackles privately.

…………

"Mr. Fang is here to have dinner." Yu Qingling saw Fang Chang coming and shouted happily.

"Okay, I'm here." Fang Chang responded and walked to the table.

When Yu Qingling and Liu Yuande saw that he had sat down, they also opened the chair and took a seat. They waited specifically for Fang Chang. Instead of having dinner with other leaders, they chose a table.

The meals on the table were a bit rich, but the prices were all very affordable.

The vegetables are all in line with the season. Apart from a plate of fried lotus root, there are nothing more than cabbage, radish and beans. Some are fried with slices of meat, some are just a piece of vinegar, and a large plate of spinach. There are many chickens, which are yellow and green, making them look very attractive. In addition to a large bucket of corn and rice, there are also a few cakes and steamed buns.

This escort operation was funded by justice in the capital. Although it was abundant in money, everyone was very careful and had no extravagant behavior.

After a day of travel, except Fang Chang, they were a little tired. The few people didn't say much. They all lowered their heads and ate hard, but they didn't waste any of them. Soon they were all clean and only some soup was left. People in the martial arts world are generally very edible, including Yu Qingling, who looks weak on the outside, and even ate two big bowls of millet rice and a white flour cake.

"Sir, your room is diagonally opposite. I will take you to see it later." Liu Yuande said.

"Okay, thank you."

The mountain village nightclub is dilapidated but still clean. It seems that I have put some thought into the environment.

However, after suddenly accepting many passengers, the shopkeepers and clerks were still a little at a loss. They were short of supplies and even had to line up to collect hot water. Seeing this, Fang Chang simply did not rob with others, but patted several descaling techniques on their bodies and walked into the courtyard.

There is an extremely tall locust tree here, and it is estimated that it has been several hundred years since the two of them hugged each other.

He jumped gently, found a tree branch and lay down, and looked at the night sky and the moonlight in a daze.

The moon is very good today, and it sprinkles like water, making the cool night more quiet. Not far below, the towns are covered with lights, which are all very far away.

It is very high here, and you can cross the surrounding ridges and see the fields in the distance. With a long sight, no matter the trees, mounds, fields and fields, they are all as clear as the sun. But the hazy night finally makes everything look different from the daytime and more distant.

This is the first time he has been like this today since he entered the path of cultivation, thinking so much and for so long. Fang Chang clearly knew that this was a big choice he was about to face.

What is your position in this great disaster in heaven and earth?

Should I give up on Liu Xiuwen’s entrustment?

There are also two protagonists.
