After hearing Wu Hao's words, Fang Yi's heart was so excited that he didn't even bother to eat and rushed towards Nancheng.
Wu Hao and Cao Da looked at each other and hurriedly followed.
When Fang Yiai and the others arrived, Hou Junji had already been dressed in military uniform, took Han Wei and some generals, and was waiting at the opened south gate. Except for some Songzhou guards, the rest of them were
They are all Hou Junji's trusted generals.
Looking at Hou Junji's back, Fang Yiai twitched into a sneer and blended in among the generals. Instead, she stood in a green robe among the people looking out from inside the city gate.
Wu Hao and Cao Da exchanged glances and quietly followed Fang Yiai to stand in the crowd.
After a while, the sound of horse hooves came, followed by Niu Jinda's hearty and unassuming laughter, which also came from outside the city gate.
With a friendly smile on his face, Hou Junji and the majestic Niu Jinda rode side by side into Songzhou City.
Every time she saw Niu Jinda's stronger body than Cheng Yaojin, Fang Yiai couldn't help but sigh. She didn't expect that Niu Jinda could give birth to a petite and lovely daughter like Niu Saihua. However, Mr. Niu gave birth to a daughter as cute as Niu Saihua.
His daughter's name is really speechless.
The eldest daughter's name is Niu Zhaohua, Lu Yi's wife is called Niu Saihua, the third daughter of the Niu family's concubine is called Niu Hairpinhua, and there are two other concubine girls below. Because they are not close to Niu Saihua, Fang Yiai also
I don’t remember what it’s called, but I heard it doesn’t seem to be as good as the first three.
Uh, ran away.
Fang Yiai touched her face. It looked like she had the same body shape as her parents, and she seemed to have inherited the invisible genes from her parents. Fang Yiai didn't think much about it anymore.
After waiting for Niu Jinda to enter the city with his more than 200 soldiers, Hou Junji and others, Fang Yiai thought for a while and asked Wu Zhen to go down to inquire about the news, and took Cao Da up the south city wall.
Niu Jinda took two soldiers, followed Hou Jun and gathered a group of people into the central hall. After being polite to each other, they all sat down.
They complimented each other in pain. Niu Jinda then put down the tea bowl in his hand and scanned the people in the hall again. Fang Yiai was not found. His eyes changed and he said with a smile as usual, "
I heard that after General Hou arrived at Songzhou, he received a series of good news, which made the general admire him very much. Even when he was replaced, he was full of praise. He praised Hou Junji as a famous teacher and a great disciple, and he was worthy of being the disciple trained by General Li Jing himself. "
As early as at the city gate, Hou Junji knew that Niu Jinda was looking for Fang Yiai, but he just pretended not to see him.
But he never thought that Niu Jinda would say such words after entering the central hall and not seeing Fang Yiai.
Mentioning the emperor is nothing more than reminding Hou Junji to pay attention to Fang Yiai's identity, and letting Hou Junji understand that no matter how much he, Hou Junji, wants to cause trouble with Fang Yiai, he must remember that Fang Yiai is the royal son-in-law.
She is also the number one scholar in martial arts and Wen Tanhua appointed by the emperor!
Mentioning Li Jing is nothing more than a warning to Hou Junji to pay attention to his identity and behavior.
That day, he, Hou Junji, went to the emperor to make trouble, saying that Li Jing was keeping a secret. Later, Li Jing said that he was rebellious. In anger, he, Hou Junji, ignored the etiquette of respecting his master and directly said something incompatible with Li Jing.
, and even had his servants beat up Su Dingfang, Li Jing’s direct disciple, who had been suppressed by the emperor!
All these things have left a bad impression on the emperor. If he treats Fang Yiai too harshly and goes beyond the emperor's bottom line, I am afraid that this will be the day when he, Hou Junji, completely loses his sacred heart!
A trace of anger and coldness flashed in Hou Junji's eyes. In an instant, he returned to normal and said extremely humbly, "I, the general, am just eating the emperor's salary and sharing his worries. General Niu is really over-praised."
.”
These words were nothing more than a reminder to Niu Jinda not to meddle in other people's business. He, Hou Junji, had been hinted by the emperor earlier about Hou Junji's tormenting of Fang Yiai, and he did not make the decision without permission.
"General Hou is too modest. There are not many people who can praise him so much. If he doesn't praise Hou Junji, how can the emperor praise him so much?"
The military champion Wen Tanhua is handed over to the general for guidance instead of to other generals? You must know that there are many veterans who have lived and died with the emperor in the court." Niu Jinda looked at Hou Junji with admiration,
He waved his hand and said.
These words are nothing more than a warning to Hou Junji not to rely on the emperor's trust and act arbitrarily. There are many people in the court who are as important as Hou Junji in the emperor's heart. Let Hou Junji be the best.
Don't go too far, be restrained, and do everything in moderation.
Niu Jinda's words made Hou Junji feel a stab in his heart. He narrowed his eyes slightly and held the tea bowl in his hand tightly.
Earlier, when the former Minister of War, Li Jing, reported illness and recuperation, he intended to resign as Minister of War.
Because Qin Qiong was also ill and his health was not as good as before, and Li Ji did not have as deep a sacred heart as he did. At that time, the fight between Hou Luanpei and the prince was quite fierce.
In addition, when the emperor inquired privately, Wei Zheng once mentioned to Li Shimin that Hou Junji could take up the post of Minister of War. After Hou Junji received this news, he felt that it was pretty good, and he was very likely to be admitted to the Ministry of War.
As a result, Fang Yiai came back with his medical skills and said that Qin Qiong's body could be cured. This put the emperor's idea of appointing Hou Junji as Minister of War on hold. Although the sick Li Jing was allowed to go home to recuperate, he did not
He did not take off his post as Minister of War! After knowing that Qin Qiong was strong enough to discuss affairs in court, he agreed to Li Jing's resignation and directly appointed Qin Qiong as Minister of War!
This incident made Hou Junji's teeth itch, and he also realized clearly that his position in the emperor's mind was not irreplaceable or unique!
Hou Junji could only grit his teeth and endure this matter. After all, it was not reported to the public next year, and he was not too embarrassed. However, there were still a few rumors leaking out in private.
Hou Junji secretly hated Niu Jinda for picking up his scars. He still wore a friendly and humble smile on his elegant face and said, "There, there, General Niu is overrated. I think General Niu must be tired after a night of fighting."
Come, come, please ask General Niu to go down and rest first, and send orders to the generals of each battalion to pick up the wind and wash away the dust for General Niu at noon. General Niu, please!"
Seeing Hou Junji's behavior, Niu Jinda also knew that he couldn't offend someone like Hou Junji who was a bit petty and easy to hold grudges, let alone stab him too hard at this time, so he just followed Hou Junji's words.
After making peace, he stood up to say goodbye. Before leaving, he gave Hou Junji a meaningful look and then turned around and left the central hall.
The generals were busy getting up to see the cattle off, but few of them saw the gleam of evil in Hou Junji's eyes.
Unfortunately, Hou Junji's eyes were caught by Han Wei, who was always paying attention to him, with the corner of his eye.
Han Wei's heart condensed. With many years of political experience, he was sure that Hou Junji and Niu Jinda would not get along happily.
Although he didn't understand the details and couldn't fathom the profound meaning of the seemingly peaceful compliments exchanged between the two, he also understood that it was not as harmonious as it sounds.
Should Han Zheng go to Fang Yiai's place to inquire about the news? Otherwise, if he doesn't handle it well or responds incorrectly in the following days, I'm afraid he will be the one who gets the wrath of both parties, and he will be the defeated Governor of Songzhou.
Han Wei sighed in his heart, but his face was calm. He gave the compliments that should be complimented and the words that should be echoed. After Hou Junji finished explaining, he stayed away from everyone and hurriedly looked for Han Zheng, who was getting married tomorrow.
Fang Yiai sat on the battlement, ignoring the wet feeling coming from the wall tiles under her buttocks, and just looked into the distance.
After yesterday's day and a night of fighting, the Tubo military camp was in dilapidated condition, without any trace of life.
As for the 100,000 troops brought by Niu Jinda, except for the 200 soldiers who followed him into the city, the rest were nowhere to be seen.
Seeing the mess in the mountains to the west, Fang Yiai guessed that Abandoned Zong Nongzan and Lu Dongzan had retreated in panic to the west.
Niu Jinda's men should have gone in pursuit.
Niu Jinda went to the city this time just to explain to Hou Junji that when the food and grass arrived in the afternoon, he would go to check the results of his own men's battles.
Unfortunately, he was under Hou Junji's command now. If Hou Junji didn't give his orders, there was no chance that he would selflessly lead his own troops to pursue him.
Thinking of this, Fang Yiai couldn't help but sigh, and she complained about Li Shimin in her heart. Why did she have to throw herself into Hou Junji's hands? I have never seen an emperor who thought of Li Shimin and tormented others so blindly!
Well, among the emperors Fang Yiai has met, there is the past emperor Li Yuan, who has long since resigned. He has not had much contact with him and cannot be contacted now. There is a future emperor, but he is not sure who he is, although it is very likely that he is Li Chengqian.
It's just that he hasn't succeeded to the throne yet. After all, Li Shimin is the only one who can be re-elected emperor.
As she thought about it, Fang Yiai felt that she was a little bored.
He looked again at yesterday's battlefield, which was soaked by the drizzle at night. The blood stains on the ground seemed to have penetrated into the ground with last night's drizzle, making the color on the ground look a lot lighter.
It's as dazzling as yesterday, but it has a more sad and sad meaning.
Counting the time, it was almost time for Wu Hao to come back from asking for information, and it was time for Niu Jinda to finish talking to Hou Junji and others and go back to rest.
Fang Yiai looked away, smiled lightly at Cao Da who was following him, and said, "Let's go."
Fang Yiai habitually patted the mud on his buttocks, nodded to the guards on the city wall, said hello, and got off the city wall.
Looking at the wet mud mark left on the back of Fang Yiai's buttocks, it was located just below the buttocks, and it looked like something was wrong. Cao Da didn't step forward to remind him, and just suppressed a smile from behind.
