The soldiers of the Anxi Army who had been watching from the sidelines until now, turning a blind eye to the quarrel between the Ministry of War and the Weiwei Temple, when Fang Jun rode forward, all stood up and dismounted, patted the leather armor on their chests with one hand, and then
Kneeling on one knee, they shouted in unison, "We see Fang Shaobao!"
His movements were crisp and neat, he didn't care about the rain and mud on the ground when he knelt down on one knee, his voice was loud and his morale was high.
Muffled thunderous shouts could be heard far away in the silent rainy night.
Fang Jun jumped off his horse, his boots stepping on the muddy water, with a drizzle of rain on his head. Looking at the dark Anxi army soldiers in front of him, he raised his hand and said warmly, "Everyone, please stand up!"
Hundreds of people responded in unison with "Here!"
With a "wow" sound, all the soldiers stood up straight from the muddy water, put their hands behind their backs, raised their chests and raised their heads, their morale high.
Fang Jun met a pair of ardent and respectful eyes. His heart was unavoidable for a moment, and when his mind was hot, he subconsciously blurted out, "Brothers, thank you for your hard work!"
The Anxi army soldiers were stunned.
This is obviously a condolence, and it should be replied to by rights, but could it be that the reply is "not hard work"? The climate in the Western Region is harsh, the yellow sand is rolling, and there are barbarians with ulterior motives all around. They always have to face the enemy's open swords and hidden arrows, and they fight bloody battles alone.
, how could it not be hard work?
The reply was “Are you right?”
That's too unreserved...
The soldiers were confused for a moment and looked at each other. Finally, under the leadership of the captain, they adopted the words that the commander usually used when ordering troops to go into battle: "There will be no truce until the blood is shed!"
"We will not fight until the blood dries out!"
"We will not fight until the blood dries out!"
Three times in a row, the high-pitched oath was shouted out by the soldiers at the top of their lungs, which shocked people's hearts and made their blood boil!
The officials of Weiwei Temple looked surprised.
Everyone knows that Fang Jun's achievements are world-renowned, and they all know that Fang Jun is now an idol worshiped by young men in the army. The whole army from top to bottom is proud of pursuing Fang Jun, and he has become a rising star in the army.
The forces include Su Dingfang, Xue Rengui, Liu Rengui, Liu Renyuan, Cheng Wuting, Gao Kan, and even Xue Wanche, Pei Xingfang... They may seem immature, but in fact they already have the image of a school of their own.
However, Fang Jun's high prestige in the army still surprised the Weiwei Temple officials who were below Du Gulan.
From the beginning to the end, Fang Jun never took charge of the Anxi Army. No matter the previous Shenji Battalion, the Navy, or even the Youtun Guards, they had little to do with the Anxi Army. When Xue Rengui took office in the Western Regions, he only took charge of
A small number of soldiers, at least for now, these soldiers are not Xue Rengui's direct descendants.
But these soldiers, who were strangers to each other and had nothing to do with each other, burst into high respect after Fang Jun arrived!
Dugu Lan looked at the Anxi soldiers behind him who were as straight as javelins, and then at Fang Jun who was strolling over. He took a deep breath, twitched the corners of his mouth to suppress the shock on his face, and turned it into an unnatural smile.
He smiled and said, "As people get older, they inevitably sleep less. They are thinking about their responsibilities, fearing that they will betray His Majesty's trust. How can they sleep when they are frightened and trembling?"
Fang Jun took two steps forward and stood in front of him, with a warm smile on his face. He ignored the sarcasm in Dugu Lan's words. Instead, he stretched out his hand to support Dugu Lan's arm and said affectionately, "Life is like grass and trees."
In one autumn, even if you live to be a hundred years old, you will only be able to endure 30,000 years of cold and heat. Young people like us still need to risk our lives for fame and wealth. People like the old prince who have achieved success and fame should regard fame and wealth as clouds of smoke and eat as much as they can.
If you can sleep soundly and live less and less each day, why bother speculating?"
Ho!
When the people around him heard this, they couldn't help but twitch their mouths...
When you say "every day you live loses your life" in front of an old man, you are probably afraid that he will die and want to piss him off to death, right?
Although they felt that Fang Jun's words were a bit excessive, no one dared to interrupt.
Including officials from Weiwei Temple...
Dugu Lan was so angry that his eyes bulged, his white beard curled up, and he was about to retort, but before he said anything, he felt that Fang Jun was using force when supporting his arm, and he couldn't help but take two steps forward, wanting to
Although the momentum has been reduced, how can it match Fang Jun's strength?
Seeing that his feet were not working as he walked towards the carriage, Dugu Lan was furious: "Hey, hey, you bastard, do you want to hold me hostage?"
Fang Jun smiled and said, "Look what you said, no one would dare to hold you hostage if I hold you hostage. It's rainy and cold, and I'm afraid that the old prince's body and bones won't be able to bear it. If something bad happens, your children and grandchildren won't be able to spare you... Come on, come on."
Come on, if you have anything to say, let’s talk in the car.”
Before Dugu Lan could struggle, he sped up his feet and exerted a little force on his hands. He supported Dugu Lan's arm with one hand and held his shoulder with the other hand, almost lifting Dugu Lan up. There was wind under his feet, and he arrived in front of the carriage in a few steps.
The soldiers stepped forward and lifted the curtain, and Fang Jun stuffed Dugu Lan into the carriage...
All the Weiwei Temple officials looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
Dugu Lan was stuffed into the carriage and shouted angrily, "Fang Er! Even if my father meets me, he must be respectful and not dare to make any mistakes. How dare you be disrespectful to me because you have taken the courage of a leopard?"
He was so angry that he didn't even say "Your Majesty", but used titles such as "Father".
Originally, he was cheating all the way by relying on his status and qualifications, leaving everyone in the Ministry of War helpless, but he didn't expect Fang Jun to "repay the other in the same way" and be even more scoundrel than him...
Fang Jun got into the carriage and said with a smile, "How can I be disrespectful, junior? After all, it is for the sake of the health of the old county magistrate. You don't know a good heart."
"Fart! I don't need you to think about me? Let me go quickly..."
"When people get older, they like to gossip. Come on, I'll pour you some tea."
"No need!"
…
The Weiwei Temple officials looked at each other and didn't know what to do. They rushed to snatch Dugu Lan back? Not to mention that Fang Jun had no use for force at all, but "invited" Dugu Lan to the carriage. Even Fang Jun
It's a little disrespectful, but once a conflict occurs, you have to consider the consequences.
Almost all the officials of Weiwei Temple were from Guanlong nobles, and they were always arrogant and superior to others. But because of this, they were more aware of Fang Jun's current energy, which could only be provoked by others?
It was even said that this guy was a stick, and when he was annoyed, he started to get angry regardless, but their little bodies couldn't bear it...
But the officials of the Ministry of War and the soldiers of the Anxi Army couldn't help but laugh.
Dugu Lan started blackmailing people as soon as he came up, leaving everyone at a loss as to how to deal with it. In the end, Fang Jun was even more rogue than him, and he got him into the car with just a few sentences. Dugu Lan couldn't resist at all...
As expected, I was so stunned that I was scared to death.
When it comes to being unreasonable, no one in Chang'an can outdo him.
In the carriage.
As soon as Fang Jun got in the car, he saw Cui Dunli who was tied up and gagged. The smile on his face suddenly froze, then relaxed, and his eyes narrowed slightly: "Old Lord, why is this?"
Dugu Lan looked at the aloof atmosphere and said, "Why else? This guy wants to accept prisoners who have violated military discipline in the Anxi army. This is an act of transgression. Where does the law of the court go? I tied him up for his own good. Otherwise, if it spreads, it will be difficult to prevent it."
Impeached by the imperial censor."
Fang Jun smiled and was silent for a while.
These words may seem simple, but in fact they reveal a lot of information...
Without a trial, even after the Anxi Army finished the battle, Changsun Guang could only be regarded as a "suspect". It stands to reason that Weiwei Temple, as the "private place" of the Guanlong nobles, should naturally protect Changsun Guang and try his best to clear his name.
It's only right to blame.
But Dugu Lan kept calling him a "criminal", which was equivalent to assigning Changsun Guang a gender...
It's really against common sense.
But if Dugu Lan has no intention of protecting Changsun Guang, but would rather go out of the city in the rain in the middle of the night, even abandoning his old face and acting rogue along the way, why is this?
Seeing Fang Jun's silence, Dugu Lan said angrily, "I know what your kid has in mind, but how can this matter be so simple? Oh, the criminals who were supposed to be tried by Weiwei Temple were robbed by your Ministry of War
If I leave, then from now on the power of military discipline and trial will naturally be taken over by your Ministry of War? This is simply delusional! Even if I agree, there are still others who will not agree!"
Fang Jun was stunned again and looked up at Dugu Lan in surprise.
What does it mean that even if you agree, there are still others who won't agree?
Not to mention whether others agree or not, shouldn't you be the first to say no?
The Dugu family is now gradually declining, and its presence among the Guanlong nobles is getting lower and lower. They all rely on Dugu Lan, the official position of Wei Weiqing, to gain attention. If the power of military discipline and trial is taken away by the Ministry of War, then he, Wei Weiqing, will still be
What power does it have to support the entire Dugu family?
Fang Jun touched the short mustache on his upper lip, his thoughts racing.
Could it be that... the Guanlong nobles all had different intentions and were having internal strife? .
