After the woman left, Fang Yiai kept tossing around until dawn and did not fall asleep. Looking at the darkening sky outside, Fang Yiai got up.
But when I got up, I accidentally touched a small copper bell on the bed. I guess it belonged to that woman. After taking a look, Fang Yiai stuffed it into the sachet hanging on her waist.
After Fang Yiai finished her morning exercise, basically everyone got up.[]
After breakfast, Fang Yiai took out two porcelain bottles containing poison and antidote, and handed them to Xue Li along with a somewhat bizarre greeting message written by his left hand, and asked him to ride a fast horse to Chang'an.
He also asked him to hand over the two porcelain vases to Dr. Wang with his own hands.
After practicing left-hand calligraphy all morning, and after lunch, Fang Yiai took Fang Qi for a habitual walk on the nearby country road.
Just when Fang Yiai and Fang Qi were sitting on the mound chatting together, a simple carriage came from far and near, and the driver was a man in his fifties.
Many years old man.
When the carriage was under the mound of dirt on the road, the old man stopped the horse's reins with a "ha" sound, sat on the shaft of the carriage and shouted to the master and servant of Fang Yiai, "You two brothers, I wonder if you can ask for a bowl of water?"
Fang Yiai was very surprised. Not far ahead was Zhuangzi, and the houses and roofs were already in front of her. Why did this old man still ask for water from the two of them?
"Old man, just a few steps ahead is Zhuangzi. There is enough water there. You can go there. We don't have much water with us." Fuasaki stood on the mound, pointed to the house in front, and said kindly to the old man.
said.
"My carriage is in a hurry. If we don't enter Zhuangzi, please kindly give the old man a sip of water." With that said, the old man got off the carriage, stood on the ground, and kept shouting at the two of them.
It can be seen from the shallow car marks that this carriage should be empty. An empty carriage is in a hurry? Fang Yiai expressed his doubts.
However, after the old man got off the car, Fang Yiai discovered the logo of his dealership on the shaft of the car, which was previously blocked by the old man's clothes. In addition, the old man's eyes did not look like a bad person, so Fang Yiai was in trouble for Fang Qi.
He nodded in his eyes.
"Then let's just drink something for now, old man." Fuasaki said, walking towards the old man and taking off the bamboo tube from his waist as he walked.
"How dare you trouble me to come down?" the old man said with a smile on his face, and walked up quickly, with his mouth full of gratitude.
The water in the bamboo tube was prepared by Lan'er in case Fang Yiai got thirsty while walking outside.
The old man took the bamboo tube from Fuasaki's hand and sat down not far from Fang Yiai, drinking water and chatting.
He said that he had seen an extremely ugly woman with mung bean eyes. Not only was she ugly, but she also had a long tongue. She always made trouble for the head of the landlord, the Li family, and eventually caused trouble and offended the neighbors.
The wealthy Cui family was now sold to the south of the Yangtze River by her husband in a rage.
Fang Yiai just smiled faintly and looked at the old man with inquiring eyes.
Fuasaki chimed in, saying that the tongue-tied woman deserved it. Whoever married such a wife would have suffered eight lifetimes of bad luck.
The old man nodded and said yes. After he finished speaking, he finished a small amount of water in a bamboo tube. The old man wiped his mouth, thanked with a smile, and handed over the bamboo tube in his hand.
However, instead of handing it to Fang Qi in front of him, both hands were handed to Fang Yiai.
Fang Yiai didn't say anything. She took the bamboo tube with both hands and also took a paper ball secretly handed over by the other party.
Fang Yiai stuffed the paper ball into her sleeve without leaving a trace, handed the bamboo tube to Fuasaki, said goodbye to the old man kindly, and watched the old man drive away.
"It's obviously something I handed to him, so why bother handing it to the young master?" Fuasaki muttered softly.
"Let's go back." Fang Yiai ignored Fang Qi's mumbling. There was an indescribable lightness about her body, as if the dark clouds that had been weighing on her heart recently were suddenly blown away by the wind. She patted the mud on her butt and turned around to walk towards Zhuangzi.
go.
Just when he was about to enter Zhuangzi, Fang Yiai shuddered for no reason.
"Master, did you catch a cold last night?" Fuasaki asked with concern.
Before Fang Yiai could answer, several masked men suddenly appeared from behind and inside the stacks of hay and straw on both sides of the road, and without saying a word, they attacked Fang Yiai and Fuasaki!
"Hurry up and call someone!" Fang Yiai shouted, grabbed Fuasaki's belt, lifted Fuasaki and threw him towards the path on the right!
"Master!" Fang Qi was thrown more than 20 meters away like a sandbag by Fang Yiai. He shouted with tears in his eyes. He looked at Fang Yiai who was hiding in the middle of the six big men without looking back.
Zhuangzi ran to the threshing floor in front of him. At this time, most of the people in Zhuangzi were threshing millet on the threshing floor.
"One escaped!" A masked man looked at Fuasaki and said.
"No need to chase, the goal is this." Another person said.
Fang Yiai relied on her familiarity with the forest and the cover of the trees to try hard to avoid the sharp daggers of several people. Even so, she still received several blows. Fortunately, the wounds were not deep and only scratched the skin.
"Sister Lan'er, where is my second brother?" Qing Niang looked around after being carried out of the carriage by Qing Luo, but did not see Fang Yi'ai. She asked dissatisfied Lan'er who greeted her at the door.
"The second young master went for a walk in the woods behind Zhuangzi and will be back soon." Lan'er said with a smile.
"I'm going to find my second brother in the woods." Qing Niang said, holding up her skirt and running along, but after running for two steps, she realized that she didn't know the way.
"I'll take Miss," said Xue Li, who came back together.
"Brothers Fang Yi and Fang Xuan, please go with us. I heard from the officers and soldiers who searched yesterday that there may be rebels near Zhuangzi. The young master still refused to listen and went out with only Fangzaki. You guys should also go and have a look.
Come on, don't worry about it." Lan'er hurriedly said to Fang Yi and Fang Xuan who were following the car.
Qing Luo was Qing Niang's maid, so she naturally followed her. After thinking about it, Lan'er sent Ling Yue away and followed her.
Just as a group of people turned around from the road behind Zhuangzi, they heard the sound of fighting. Xue Li, Fang Yi and Fang Xuan couldn't help but feel their hearts pounding, and asked Qing Luo and Ling Yue to take the young lady back quickly!
Xue Li and the other three quickly rushed towards the direction of the fight.
Qingluo and Lingyue also saw with sharp eyes a person lying in the woods not far away! The two women were so frightened that they turned pale and quickly covered Qing Niang's eyes, trembling and holding Qing Niang back.
Zhuangzi.
"Someone is coming! Help! Someone is coming quickly!" Qingluo and Lingyue, holding Qingniang who didn't know what was going on, shouted as they ran.
Since the Fang family's house was located at the rear of Zhuangzi, Lan'er soon heard the shouts of the two women. All the people in Zhuangzi came out with them and asked anxiously, "What? Come out?"
What's going on?"
"Zhuangzi killed someone later!" Ling Yue said in a tearful voice, her body still trembling.
"Back there, Zhuangzi? Is there anything wrong with the second young master?" Lan'er asked, holding Lingyue's arm.
"Miss Lan'er, let's call someone first. Let's take the guy to the back of the village and have a look. Maybe the crowd can scare the bad guys away." A middle-aged wife in charge of the kitchen said.
"Yes, let's call someone first." Lan'er came to her senses and hurriedly ordered, "Sister-in-law of the Wu family, hurry up and ask that guy to go to the back of the village to take a look. Lingyue, run to the barn and call someone! Qingluo, at home.
Take good care of the lady!"
When Lan'er came over with a group of women and children, Fuasaki also came over with a group of strong men from the field, carrying tools and other things. A group of men ran over and yelled at the same time.
Unfortunately, the group of men started shouting with something from a distance, frightening the remaining five men into a panic. Only then did Fang Yiai and the others leave one behind, and the rest of them glared viciously.
Looking at Fang Yiai, who was holding a dagger in his left hand, he whistled, called the horses hiding in the distance, mounted them and fled.
The saddle is still the same as before, not in the shape of a saddle, and there are no pedals. However, on the flying horse's hooves, there are freshly made horseshoes!
The three-piece suit on horseback was drawn by me after Fang Yiai recovered from his illness and enrolled in school after he came back from a hunting trip. After being questioned by Zhang Sunhuan, Cheng Hualiang, Qin Huaiyu and Du He, he drew it and handed it in through Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin.
of.
Nowadays, strategic materials are basically regarded as national secrets. They can be concealed for as long as possible. The three-piece sets that have been produced are supplied to the military, the palace, and various government officials with higher official positions. Ordinary people cannot wait.
Didn’t even know horseshoes existed!
And looking at the skills of those people, there are no fancy moves, but they are ruthless and can kill people directly! They are also steady in the foot, and their steps carry the rhythm unique to military attacks!
Moreover, there is an iron-blooded aura on these people that cannot be ignored! It is completely the aura of veterans who have survived many battles after many years of fighting! This kind of aura is not unfamiliar to Fang Yiai. He has it on the retired soldiers of Qin Mansion and Cheng Mansion.
I’ve seen it before! Especially on Qin Hu and Cheng Hao, this kind of aura is even more obvious!
And the auras of the people who came to assassinate me today are not much inferior to those of Qin Hu and Cheng Hao! If there is no accident, they should also be the confidants and bodyguards around someone! Look at the skillful way to hide the auras.
, only leaking murderous intent at the moment before taking action! I remember Qin Hu once told himself that this kind of hiding method can only be achieved by the personal guard battalions around the generals after long-term training!
The people in the army who have contact with him, apart from the Qin family, the Cheng family, are also the Hou family, and can barely be considered the captain's Chi family.
This matter was obviously not done by anyone from the Qin family or the Cheng family. The Yuchi family had no grudges against him, and only the Hou family existed!
Because she had guessed this possibility from the previous fight, Fang Yiai always used her left hand instead of her right hand!
However, the other party obviously did not come here to confirm whether his right hand was really disabled, but directly wanted to take his own life!
The people of the Hou family must have gone too far! Fang Yiai looked at the direction of the assassin with gloomy eyes. I wonder if this was Hou Luanpei's handiwork or Hou Junji's? Hou Luanpei wanted to mobilize Hou Jun
Ji’s pro-army forces must have been tacitly approved by Hou Junji, right?
