The words reached Fang Xu's ears, carrying every trace of threat.
Fang Xu sat up straight and whispered, "My wife can't lift her hands or shoulders, and she is a widow. She has no help from her husband's family, and there is no one from her mother's family. The princess may have made a wrong bet."
Whoever likes to take a trip in this muddy ditch!
"Is that true?" Duanyang sneered, a chill flashing through his eyes, "I heard that you have a daughter to marry?"
He actually had Xie Wanzhou’s idea in mind!
Fang Xu met her gaze and suddenly laughed after a moment, "I'm afraid the princess hasn't investigated clearly yet."
Duanyang was stunned, "What?"
Fang Xu looked straight at her and chuckled, "My wife hates being threatened the most."
"My wife has always believed that life is in her own hands, not what others say. Even the emperor cannot resist public opinion and disregard human life."
Fang Xu raised his lips and smiled, stood up gracefully under Duanyang's stern gaze, and whispered, "Thank you princess for your hospitality. The Queen has also made an appointment with the courtiers to hang themselves on horses, so I will leave first."
After finishing speaking, Fang Xu turned around and left without waiting for Duanyang to speak.
It wasn't until the figures of the master and servant disappeared around the corner that Qingli, who had led the way before, walked downstairs and took a closer look, "Princess, she hasn't touched a single bite of this meal and wine."
"She is suspicious that I will tamper with the food." Duanyang sat on the table, pinched the table with his fingertips, and sneered, "Throw it all away."
"This Mrs. Yongcheng is actually more interesting than I imagined."
On the carriage, Su Zi patted her chest, her heart full of happiness after the disaster, "Madam, we actually made it out alive!"
Fang Xu glanced at her and exhaled, "How could you and I come out so easily if we didn't borrow the Queen's order?"
Su Zi swallowed her saliva and, in a rare moment, lost her composure, "Madam, this slave looks really scary to Princess Duanyang. Just now in the room, I didn't even dare to take a breath."
"Perhaps she looks similar to the emperor." Fang Xu said with a sullen face, sighed, and said softly, "There are endless bad things to deal with and endless monsters to see all day long!"
Su Zi supported her and whispered, "I see that the princess is not a good person. Madam must make plans in advance."
Fang Xu nodded, "After returning home, give Xie Li a few more skilled ones. Don't let Mr. Wan Zhou go out, and he should be accompanied by more people. Taking only one Zhutao is definitely not enough."
"Yes, I know this."
Fang Xu's eyes deepened, he thought for a moment, and whispered, "Before returning home, let's go to General Song's mansion first."
-
At noon the next day, the sky was already dark, and there was a feeling that a storm was coming.
One mile north of the foot of Wuqing Mountain, there is a wooden house with a bamboo shed outside and the word "tea" written on the right side.
Inside the house, two groups of people were confronting each other.
War King Da Ma Jin Dao sat on the bench with a smile on his face, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
Sitting across from him was a thin man, his eyes a little distracted, staring straight at the King of War without saying a word.
If someone from the Houfu comes to take a look, they will recognize that this person is clearly Ye Ming, who works in Chengyuan!
The reason why his eyes were distracted was because he was frightened!
The King of War maintained his posture, tapped his fingertips on the table, and said in a cold voice, "Brother Ye, just make a price. No matter how much goods there are, I will accept them."
Ye Ming swallowed, his hands and feet froze in fear, not knowing what to do next.
"Masters, the tea you ordered is ready."
A female voice came from outside. The War King waved his hand, and someone came behind him and opened the door.
Zhiyu was dressed in linen clothes, with lowered eyebrows, and served tea to the two of them respectfully, "Boss, this tea is picked by Zhuangzi. It's named Taoyu. You two can use it with care."
Hearing this, Ye Ming's expression changed.
Its name is Tao Yu, which is actually a cliché. This is Madam’s inner thought when she forces herself to fight against the prince.
Heavenly Bodhisattva, he is a mud-legged guy, where did he get this ability!
The King of War raised his hand, took the cup closer to Ye Ming, curled his lips and smiled, "Brother Ye, please."
Ye Ming picked up the remaining cup of tea, took a sip, and said as if unintentionally, "Brother, you and I have been sitting here for at least two sticks of incense."
Ye Ming didn't dare to look up at him, and lowered his voice and said, "You know my name, but I don't know you. This is really inappropriate."
When the King of War heard this, the smile on his face became a little lighter, "My surname is Wang, and my last name is the word "Yong".
"Wang Yong?" Ye Ming still didn't look up, immersed in his role, "If the eldest brother doesn't dare to use his real name to travel around the world, our business this time will be ruined."
After saying that, Ye Ming put down the tea cup, got up and left.
"Wait a minute." The War King spoke, staring straight at him with burning eyes, half-smiling but not smiling, "Why does Brother Ye know that this is not my real name?"
Ye Ming didn't look at him and sneered at the ground, "Brother, you should know that this batch of goods of mine was hard-earned. Isn't it enough to prove my ability that I can transport the goods from outside Liaoning back to Beijing unscathed? "
The War King gritted his teeth and stared at him.
This year is really weird. Why do I keep getting frustrated?
First it was Fang Xu, and then there was Ye Ming!
Ye Ming crossed his arms, stared at the ground, and said in a deep voice, "Since the prince is not sincere, there is no need to continue discussing this business."
"Stop!" The King of War slapped the table and stood up, and the followers behind him also rushed up.
"What do you want to do?" Ye Ming was shocked, and the servants of Yongcheng Marquis also came up to support him.
The War King looked at him with gloomy eyes. After a while, he raised his lips and smiled, and whispered, "Brother Ye was joking. I have a special status, so I had no choice but to tell lies."
Ye Ming snorted coldly and sat down without raising his head. "I had no intention of being at odds with the prince. I just came out to do business and need integrity."
"Brother Ye is right." War King smiled and said in a deep voice.
"What does the prince want to do with this batch of goods?" Ye Ming shook his legs and tried to pretend to be a gangster.
"This..." War King's eyes were suspicious and he looked Ye Ming up and down, "Brother Ye is inevitably asking too much."
"Hey." Ye Ming waved his hand, "Don't worry, I only have one request. If the prince uses this batch of goods for secret purposes, he can only pick up the goods from me in the future."
"That's no problem." The King of War curled his lips, "As long as the goods are good, I can get as much as I want."
"Of course." Ye Ming said arrogantly, "If the prince can change the historical records, don't forget about my little brother."
The King of War paused for a moment, then smiled lowly and pointedly said, "This is inevitable."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door at the back was pushed open. The War King's expression froze, he stood up hurriedly, turned his head, and met the smiling eyes above.
The War King froze and his face was ashen.
Not only Fang Xu but also Sein Fei came, plus a team of his elite cavalry.
In order not to attract attention, the King of War only brought a few confidants with him. Compared with the two sides, there was a huge disparity in strength.
"Prince Zhan, you're fine." Fang Xu stood at the door with a smile and raised his eyebrows at him, "Hey, look at your face, why do you look like a cabbage?"
