Chapter 1356 : Goodbye Fang Guozhen
Now that we have joined forces with the White Lotus Sect, it is even more difficult to deal with it. Although Fujian is not a good place, we can't let others sleep soundly under the bed. Chen Youding will not end for a day, and his heart will be uneasy for a day. His brows just stretched, and he has become a small bump. He secretly thought: "Recently, the imperial court has been sitting in the mountains and watching the tiger fights and watching the situation in Jiangnan. There is also a lot of support for Chen Youding, which allows the White Lotus Sect to take the opportunity. This is a great opportunity. The White Lotus Sect is just a group of mobs. Compared with the strength of the Tartars, it is naturally pitiful. If the White Lotus Sect can be eliminated in one fell swoop and Chen Youding's right-hand arm, it is not impossible to destroy Chen Youding. Don't miss this opportunity!"
Fang Guozhen frowned and thought hard. The various forces in Jiangnan passed each one in his mind. He didn't want to miss any opportunity.
While thinking, there was a burst of footsteps in the front yard, followed a young general hurriedly rushed in, clasped his fists outside the bed and said, "Report, the second in command, the eldest lady, Lord Zhang is back?"
"Ping'er?" Fang Guozhen was happy and got up and left the study.
Xiao Yun and his party set out from Zuixian Tower and walked slowly. It was not until dusk that they felt the Fang family's mansion. Along the way, they saw the bamboo forests on both sides of the Fang family, pavilions, rockery, ponds, mansions, flowers and grass all carefully arranged, and the style that Jiangnan should have, which was indeed beyond Xiao Yun's expectations.
Every time I read the biography of Fang Guozhen in "History of Ming Dynasty", I read that I had a long black face, white body as white as a gourd, and I was chasing galloping horses. The world was selling salt and floating on the sea. After a few sentences, I was like a hero in Liangshan, and I was active on paper. I never thought that a bandit leader was also a gentleman, who could dress his mansion so elegantly, just like the style of a scholarly family.
Walking along the forest avenue, Zhang Zishan led the way forward and directly entered the Fang family mansion. Before that, Xiao Yun felt that the Fang family mansion was well arranged, not inferior to the scholarly family. After entering the Fang family compound, Xiao Yun realized that what he had just seen was just a drop in the tank. In the Fang family compound, the courtyard was deep, and the unique curved bridge corridors, rockery pools, water of the Jiangnan mansion, Fengge Luan Tower, carved railings and painted buildings were presented one by one in the mansion. The layout was exquisite, and when you saw it, it was a bit pleasing to the eye. Standing in front of the courtyard, the Fang family mansion was tall with ridges, flying eaves and corners, red walls and exposed tiles, and pavilions, towers and halls were lined up one by one, with extraordinary momentum.
Su Erxiao and Xiaoyue were also stunned and showed a look of surprise.
Xiao Yun and others were watching, and suddenly heard a shout: "Ping'er, Ping'er, are you back?" The sound was like a bell, followed by a burst of rapid footsteps. A middle-aged man with a long black face and white body strode out. Xiao Yun looked up and saw who was not Fang Guozhen?
"Second brother--?" Fang Taiping screamed, his voice whimpering.
"Ping'er-?" Fang Guozhen also shouted, strode over, and hugged her only sister in her arms.
"Second brother--?" Fang Taiping started crying. The longing for the past few months broke out at this moment.
"Okay, okay, you're so old, why do you still cry like you were when you were a child?" Fang Guozhen reached out and patted her gently on her sister's head.
"The Second Head of the Family?" After the brother and sister expressed their love, Zhang Zishan clasped his fists and changed his voice to the Second Head of the Family.
Fang Guozhen glanced at everyone's faces, and two cold lights fell on Xiao Yun. He suddenly snorted coldly before saying to Zhang Zishan: "This is a good job for Lord Zhang. I heard that you have also captured a leader?"
Zhang Zishan nodded and said, "Yes, he is an altar master. You should know the whereabouts of the eldest son when he sees the scene. I will only know after being interrogated later?"
Fang Guozhen said "yes" and stopped saying anything to Zhang Zishan anymore, but turned her eyes to Xiao Yun's face and said coldly: "I heard that you have made a lot of efforts to destroy the White Lotus Sect this time. Thank you?"
"It's not easy to hear the word "Thank you" from the bandit leader?" Xiao Yun was slightly stunned and said, "The second leader is too polite. It should be, it should be, it should be all a family?"
"Ah—?" Fang Taiping screamed, then his pretty face turned red, he glared at him fiercely, and said, "Who, who is a family with you, shameless?"
"Hehe, no, that's better, irresponsible?" Xiao Yun muttered, but did not answer immediately.
Fang Guozhen looked at his sister, then looked at Xiao Yun, and said intimately, "I have heard from my third brother that he had been reported from Suzhou. He said that this kid, despite offending Zhang Shicheng, took Ping'er away from Taihu Lake and fought for Ping'er. It seems that this is true, a good boy?" Fang Guozhen was not angry about the failure of the Fang family and the Zhang family to marry. He learned more than a month ago that Zhang Shicheng was defeated by Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, and lost Xinghua, Tongzhou (now Nantong, Jiangsu), Haozhou (now Fengyang, Anhui), Xuzhou (now Xuzhou, Jiangsu), and other places. Today, Zhang Shicheng's power is nothing more than Hangzhou, Suzhou, and it is not much bigger than himself. It is better without this marriage. He doesn't want to find any excuses for Zhu Yuanzhang to make a whisper.
"Second brother, I asked the bad guy to do this. I don't want to marry Zhang Shicheng's son?" Seeing that his second brother's face was gloomy, Fang Taiping said carefully. Although he said it, his expression was still indescribable.
Fang Guozhen seemed to have not heard it, stared at Xiao Yun for a moment, and suddenly said, "Come in with me?"
Xiao Yun came to Taizhou again this time to persuade Fang Guozhen to defect to Zhu Yuanzhang, and to eliminate Zhu Yuanzhang's worries. Such a secret matter was naturally the most appropriate to tell the person in charge alone. So when he heard it, Fang Guozhen proposed it in person and immediately said happily: "Thank you, the second in command!"
"The surname is Xiao?" Fang Taiping said with some concern.
Even Su Erxiao, Xiaoyue also noticed that the atmosphere was not right and looked at Xiao Yun with some concern.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to him. Besides, this kid's martial arts is better than me. I'm afraid it's not easy to treat him?" Fang Guozhen took a few steps and turned his head.
