Chapter 3969 Night Visit to Linchuan
Fang Jun looked at Cheng Yaojin's back and laughed, saying: "The Fang family's family tradition is shameful. It's better for the Cheng family to kill each other and the whole family to wear sackcloth and show mourning, right?"
This doesn’t sound good, but it’s true, so Cheng Yaojin just feigned anger: “It stinks, get out!”
Cursing "get out", he was the first to get on his horse...
Fang Jun said with a smile: "I haven't seen my uncle for a long time, and I miss him so much. Why don't my nephew invite my uncle to the camp for a drink? Does he have the courage?"
Cheng Yaojin held the reins, turned the horse's head, and cursed: "You evil bastard, do you want to play such a trick in front of me? Such a provocation is useless! If I invite you to join me for a drink in Zuowuwei, , do you dare to go?”
Let's go have a drink in Youtunwei? I'm stupid to do that! Even if you don't dare to kill me, if you put me under house arrest as a hostage, wouldn't your whole life's fame be in vain and only make the world laugh? Besides, if I enter your military camp, what will those old guys from Shandong think of me?
Fang Jun put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "Of course I don't dare, so, uncle, you don't dare either?"
Cheng Yaojin was stunned for a moment before he realized that he had been teased by this guy. Maybe he would spread the word tomorrow that "Fang Jun is open-minded and invites sincerely, but Cheng Yaojin has a false reputation and is as timid as a mouse." Such rumors will damage his reputation and enhance Fang Jun's status...
Immediately, his eyes widened with anger, and he waved his riding whip as if to strike. When Fang Jun took a step back, he clamped the horse's belly, whipped the riding whip on its buttocks, and galloped back to his own military camp.
Fang Jun looked at the film on Cheng Yaojin's back, then jumped on his horse and returned to the front of the Youtun Guard Formation.
I hope Cheng Yaojin will have some scruples about the confrontation between father and son, and will not completely obey the orders of the Shandong family and end up having a big fight outside Chunming Gate...
……
Fang Jun inspected the camp outside Chunming Gate, called Gao Kan and other generals together, and repeatedly warned them not to slack off. Although it was unlikely that the two armies of Zuowuwei and Youhouwei would attack the prince, drive carefully. For Wannian Ship, you still need to keep your spirits up.
As a soldier, you should always maintain a sense of tension and be prepared to deal with any unexpected situation.
The duty of a soldier is to be iron-blooded, fearless, rigorous, and sacrifice...
It was not until the middle of the moon that Fang Jun led his troops out of the camp, avoiding the Zuowuwei barracks and heading north along the Ba River. After arriving at Longshouyuan, he circled the outer wall of Daming Palace and returned to the camp outside Xuanwu Gate.
After returning to the central military tent, I washed up, had a simple dinner, and asked someone to make a pot of strong tea. I sat down in front of the desk and planned to spend the night dealing with the mountain of military documents.
The patrolling soldiers outside the tent had just rang the clapper for the third watch, and the military commander Wei Ying pushed open the door and said respectfully: "Commander, there is someone outside the camp who wants to see you."
Fang Jun was stunned, put down his brush, rubbed his sore wrist, took a sip of tea, and asked curiously: "Who wants to see you in the middle of the night?"
Wei Ying looked a little strange, lowered his head slightly and said, "This is Her Royal Highness Princess Linchuan."
Fang Jun's hand holding the tea cup paused slightly, he frowned and glared at Wei Ying, scolding: "What's that expression on your face? You're full of dirty thoughts and useless things!"
Wei Ying was startled and did not dare to refute. He only asked in a low voice: "Is the commander here to be seen or not?"
What I was thinking about was that the princesses of the Tang Dynasty were really weird. They seemed to like to come to the door in the middle of the night, and the commander-in-chief was indeed very capable. The princesses all liked to come to him...
Fang Jun snorted: "If I let a man and a woman alone enter the military camp in the middle of the night, will my reputation be lost? Of course not!"
The corners of Wei Ying's eyes twitched, "Princesses don't care about reputation, but you, a big boss, still care about a ball... quickly turn around and exit."
Fang Jun sat on a chair and drank tea slowly, thinking about the purpose of Princess Linchuan's visit.
This is not difficult to guess. Recently, rumors have circulated in the government and the public that Zhou Daowu's killing of prisoners was harmful to Tianhe. It is obvious that there is a tendency to punish him severely to find an excuse for the Eastern Expedition. Even if Princess Linchuan cannot understand, there will be people around her to remind her, In addition, Zhou Daowu was not allowed to come back after entering the palace today. Princess Linchuan must have panicked, fearing that Zhou Daowu would be attacked by various forces and eventually be punished...
It's normal to come to him to plead with him, but if you don't come in broad daylight, you choose to do it after this incident. Could it be that you plan to sacrifice something in exchange?
Thinking of this, Fang Jun couldn't help but feel a little depressed. It seemed that his bad reputation as a "good princess" was really well-known to women and children...
Mother! How come I am such a "good princess"? Isn't it just marrying a princess and having an affair with another princess at the same time? Even Princess Jinyang, who is soft, delicate, easy to push down, and can eat whenever she wants, can resist not touching her. What kind of glorious and innocent character is this?
Rumors have misled me so much that the world does not recognize heroes...
After taking a sip of tea and preparing to continue reviewing official documents, Wei Ying came back again.
"Princess Linchuan said that if the commander refuses to meet him, she will commit suicide in front of the military camp."
Fang Jun: "..."
Why does it feel familiar?
The cultural level of these Princesses of the Tang Dynasty is worrying. They only know this routine when going back and forth, right?
Fang Jun had a sullen face and drank tea slowly, realizing that something was not quite right. Princess Linchuan has always been at odds with him, and she can be regarded as a picky person. She doesn't like it no matter how she looks at it. With Princess Linchuan's willful and selfish temper, she can abandon her self-esteem and ask for help in person, and even has the consciousness of "sacrifice". It has already exceeded the bottom line.
If he had followed the trend, Princess Linchuan would probably have gritted her teeth and admitted it. Quan would have been bitten by a dog. But in the face of Fang Jun's refusal without hesitation, she remained determined and even threatened her with death. If there was nothing behind this, What kind of conspiracy is absolutely impossible...
But what puzzled him the most was that even if he recruited Princess Linchuan into the military camp and something really happened, with his current status and power, how could such a turmoil really shake his foundation?
It’s just a princess, and it’s between you and me. Even those political enemies can’t do anything about it...
After a long while, he said: "Tell Princess Linchuan that it is inconvenient for me to meet you due to military affairs. In the meantime, you can lead a group of soldiers to escort her into the city from the Jinguang Gate in the west of the city."
Not only must Princess Linchuan be sent away, but her safety must also be ensured. If the murder outside the camp gate happens again, he won't be able to wash it off by jumping into the Yellow River...
"Here!"
Wei Ying resigned and left.
Fang Jun frowned and thought for a long time, wondering whether Princess Linchuan cared so much about Zhou Daowu's life and death that her temperament changed drastically, and she was willing to endure the humiliation and bear the burden, or was there someone really pushing behind her...
Just as I picked up the official document, Wei Ying came back...
Fang Jun frowned, faintly angry: "Even if Princess Linchuan refuses to leave, you should forcefully escort her back to the city. If you can't handle such a thing, do you really think that my command is child's play?"
< br>
Wei Ying was startled and said hurriedly: "It's not that I'm incompetent in doing things, but... Mrs. Wu went outside the camp gate to meet Princess Linchuan. I didn't dare to stop her, and I didn't dare to delay. I hurriedly came back to tell you. Handsome report.”
Fang Jun was stunned for a moment, then laughed angrily: "Hey! These ladies are really uncomfortable with their idle time. Why are they staring at me all day long? What a shame!"
Princess Linchuan asked for an audience in front of the camp, and a group of female relatives were temporarily staying in the military camp. If no one informed her, how could Wu Meiniang know? But there was nothing he could do. No matter how rigorous he was in running the army, everyone in the army knew that he liked Wu Meiniang as his concubine, and it was impossible to completely block all information about her. With Wu Meiniang's resourcefulness and methods, how many people wanted to conquer her? It’s really easy to apply eyeliner.
Wei Ying's eyes twitched and he quickly lowered his head to prevent the commander from noticing his contemptuous eyes...
That's it for the other ladies. Madam Wu is smart and ruthless. I'm afraid that the Marshal will obey your words and obey everything in your boudoir. Only then will you dare to speak arrogantly in front of outsiders and make your husband proud.
The dignified Fang Erlang is nothing more than a silver pewter gunhead, very henpecked...
As he had guessed, Fang Jun said a harsh word, showed his attitude, and then waved his hand: "Let the ladies handle their own affairs, I will not interfere."
Wei Ying looked serious: "The handsome man is wise!"
Fang Jun hummed, probably because he felt too weak, and added: "Besides staring a little harder, winking a little longer, and report back if you have any news later."
"Here."
Wei Ying turned and left again.
……
Outside the camp gate, the stars and moon were dim, the bonfire under the flagpole was burning brightly, and the fire oil was crackling.
Wu Meiniang is wearing a Hu suit with arrow sleeves. She has a graceful figure and a scarlet cloak. She is sitting on the back of a horse with graceful eyebrows and heroic appearance. She is riding her horse and standing on the side of a gorgeously decorated carriage. She is smiling. Yingying, talking to the people in the car through the car window.
"His Royal Highness Linchuan came to visit my husband at midnight, which shows that there must be something urgent. However, this move is not without etiquette. Your Highness is a wealthy person, so naturally he doesn't care about the public opinion, but my husband has many political enemies. I have been working in fear all day long, and if the censors get caught, they will inevitably criticize me, which will damage my reputation. If your highness has something that you must not tell others, you might as well talk to the slave family. ”
< br>
Under the firelight, her pretty face shone brightly and she spoke softly, but she almost made Princess Linchuan in the car half angry to death.
I'm just a shameless bitch who came to your door, but your man still doesn't care about touching me, right?
Princess Linchuan's pretty face turned red with anger and she clenched her fists tightly. However, she had heard about Wu Meiniang's reputation for a long time. She knew that although this woman was just Fang Jun's concubine, she was from a famous family and her status in the Fang family was not low. Jun favored her very much and trusted her, so Fang Xuanling always relied on her and did not treat her as a concubine.
When he angrily chopped off an arm of the son of Zhang Liang, Duke of Yun, his fiery temper spread throughout the country, making Princess Linchuan extremely afraid...
Taking two deep breaths, her bulging chest calmed down slightly, Princess Linchuan said: "It is true that I am not thoughtful and a little rude when I come here this time. It is just about the life and death of my consort, and I will be confused if I care about it." , I hope Lady Wu won’t be upset.”
She knew Wu Meiniang's status and understood that even if she sent her to the military camp in vain today and let Fang Jun do anything to her, she would have no chance. She might as well plead with Wu Meiniang to see if she could have a chance to convince Fang Jun. (End of chapter)
