Hearing this, Wu Jin let out a long sigh and said sadly: "Mei Niang, I'm sorry for you. I shouldn't have provoked you in the first place. I clearly knew that I was walking on a path of no return. If I was not careful, I would be doomed. I really shouldn't have... Really I shouldn’t have… now I’m causing you misery too…!”
Facing the middle-aged man's screams in front of her, Fang Yunyi remained unmoved. She just said in a calm tone: "If I had known this, why would I do it in the first place? Shopkeeper Wu, it is not impossible to avoid harming his family. As long as you are willing Abandon darkness and embrace light..."
Wu Jin heard the words and interrupted directly: "Bah! You have a good idea. It is absolutely impossible for me to betray my brothers. Old Liu, Li San has died at your hands. If you want to do it, do it. I started on this road in the first place. When I was young, I had already thought about the consequences. Kill the tyrant, get rid of the tyranny, return my country, and restore the world to a bright and prosperous world. This has always been my belief. This little emperor has a good life, but he is not dead? What a pity. Don’t keep me waiting..."
Fang Yunyi asked back: "Return the world to a peaceful world? Do you mean to go back to the era of disputes between countries, frequent conflicts between countries, and raging wars? Do you really think the past era was good?"
Wu Jin thought for a while, shook his head, and said: "I don't think the times of the various countries were very good. In order to compete for some interests, the princes fought against each other, regardless of the life and death of the people. When wars broke out, countries often fought in darkness. , countless casualties.”
"But I don't agree with the fact that now that the world is unified, our country of Lu has perished. Does it mean that to realize the great unification of the world, our country of Lu must be destroyed? If the Jin Dynasty could retain the ancestral temple of our country, even if it handed over most of its power, it would admit that I think the other countries can accept the fact that Jin dominates the world. From now on, the world will no longer attack each other. Isn't this good?"
Fang Yunyi said disapprovingly: "That's just your wishful thinking. Do you think the last King of Lu could accept such a suggestion willingly?"
Wu Jin shook his head and sighed: "No, my king will only consider it like this when the army is approaching the city and there is really no choice."
"Miss Fang, we don't need to argue about this. I will not be willing to let the Lu country perish. It doesn't matter if Wu Jin dies and I die. There will be more people like me who will do whatever it takes to restore the country."
Fang Yunyi said: "Okay, in that case, I don't need to persuade you to turn around and make the best of it. Don't you think about the safety of your wife and children?"
Wu Jin sighed and said: "Maybe this is their fate, you don't need to persuade them."
"Miss Fang, you are from the Lu country after all. Why do you have to work for this cruel and cruel court?"
Wu Jin also wanted to try to persuade Fang Yunyi to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side.
Fang Yunyi heard this, and it seemed to bring back her long-lost memories, and said: "In the 23rd year of King Lu's mourning, I remember that I was just eight years old. My grandfather was framed by a traitor and offended King Lu. Our whole family was therefore After being exiled to Wuling Mountain to guard the border, this traitor still didn't trust our Fang family, and secretly sent assassins to almost wipe out our Fang family."
"I was the only one left in our Fang family of over 100 people. I begged all the way to Yue State, and was later trafficked to a brothel. However, I had no worries about food and drink. When I was ten years old, hundreds of hunters from Jin State searched for spiritual practitioners in various countries. A child with great potential, I was fortunate enough to be chosen by my uncle and sent to Jin State to practice in Baishou. It was Jin State and Baishou gave me a second life. As for Lu State, my whole family died in Wuling Mountain, not to mention. Whatever."
Although Fang Yunyi said it in an understatement, the journey was difficult and dangerous, and his life could not be saved if he didn't pay attention. What's more, he was sold into the land of fireworks and willows. His fate was miserable. It is really unimaginable that she suffered such a sudden disaster when she was only eight years old. In her heart, it was strange that she could take Lu State seriously.
Wu Jin was speechless when he heard this. He was moved in his heart and asked: "Miss Fang, is your grandfather Fang Wenbo, Doctor Fang?"
"yes."
Wu Jin heard the affirmative answer and said with emotion: "Doctor Fang was a rare loyal man in our country of Lu back then. Unfortunately, our country of Lu has had many stupid kings for several generations. They favored traitors and harmed the country and the people. It is a pity for the Fang family."
Fang Yunyi said: "Thank you very much, Shopkeeper Wu, for clearing the name of our Fang family."
Wu Jin waved his hand and said: "Miss Fang, you are too polite. This is a fact. Zhongliang never needs to correct his name. Justice is in the heart of the people. If you look at it this way, our country of Lu really did not die unjustly. As long as the person sitting on the throne is a normal person, it is also true." The country's affairs would not have declined to this point, hey!"
Fang Yunyi sighed: "No one can stop the unification of the world. Even if King Lu is a normal person, how long can he withstand the Jin Kingdom?"
Wu Jin said: "Maybe so. After that assassination incident, I fled all the way to Guan Nei. I have to say that this land of the Three Jin Dynasties is indeed a land of outstanding people. Guanzhong is fertile and wild for thousands of miles. Even frontier counties such as Beijun are crisscrossed by water conservancy and irrigation." , fertile land, no wonder the Jin army was invincible in the world. If our Lu country had such a good family background, it might not be our Lu country that unified the world."
After saying that, Wu Jin raised his head and glanced at the sky, barely raised his injured arms and saluted Fang Yunyi.
After the ceremony, Wu Jin said: "Miss Fang, you and I don't have to talk anymore. For the sake of giving me wine, please give me a good time."
Fang Yunyi was a little surprised and said: "Even if you beg me, you don't have to give me such a big gift!"
Wu Jin said sternly: "Miss Fang, I am worshiping the loyal people of my country of Lu. You and I just have different stances. It is my honor, Wu, to die under your sword."
Seeing this, Fang Yunyi was greatly shocked and said, "Okay, Shopkeeper Wu, I promise you, but before you die, I have to take something from you."
Just when Wu Jin was about to ask something, he saw a flash of purple light in Fang Yunyi's eyes. In an instant, only those beautiful and unusual eyes were left in his world. When he came to his senses again, Fang Yunyi had already put the knife on Wu Jin's neck. On.
Wu Jin's expression changed slightly and he said, "Did you just read my memory?"
Fang Yunyi said: "I will trade your memory for the lives of your whole family. I will not report Mei Niang's matter to the court."
Wu Jin sighed and said: "Well, you Bai Shou are really powerful. You can actually use the legendary pupil technique. If I keep following this clue, I'm afraid many people will die in our Lu revival meeting this time." , If I had known this, I should have committed suicide a long time ago, and should not have lived here in vain, alas!"
After saying this, Wu Jin closed his eyes and waited for Fang Yunyi to take action. Seeing this, Fang Yunyi did not hesitate at all and killed Wu Jin's life with a single blow.
Wu Jin's body collapsed immediately. This may be the best outcome for him. If he were escorted to Qingyang City alive, he would at least be torn into pieces and dismembered in a car.
Fang Yunyi was just about to mount her horse and leave, but after thinking about it, she turned back and picked up the homesick wine that Wu Jin gave her. She couldn't help but think of the scene when Wu Jin bowed to her just now. After a word of loyalty, she was deeply touched.
Fang Yunyi came to Wu Jin's corpse, opened a jar of homesickness wine, went forward and offered a brief worship, and sighed: "Shopkeeper Wu, have a good journey. From your standpoint, you are also a loyal and good man. How can I say this?" Different, don’t work together.”
After saying that, she mounted her horse, flicked the reins and headed off into the distance...
A few days later, Fang Yunyi rushed to Longwucheng, the capital of the North County. After entering the city, he went straight to the South City. As the capital of the empire in the northwest border county, Longwucheng shouldered the heavy responsibility of border defense. The city walls were built tall and towering, like a military fortress.
After Fang Yunyi entered the city, he quickly went straight to the secret stronghold set up by the Qingyi envoy here.
The Tsing Yi Envoys have secret liaison offices in every county capital across the country, and their main function is to assist the Tsing Yi Envoys in handling cases. Even the local officials of each county are unaware that the imperial court has set up secret bases in various places.
Fang Yunyi walked around the streets of Nancheng several times before she saw a small and inconspicuous trading company selling leather goods. She carefully stared at the signboard of the trading company and took a look at the secret message on it that only the Tsing Yi envoy could understand. Finally, she was sure that this was the place she wanted. Find the place.
After Fang Yunyi entered the business, a manager who looked like a middle-aged man came up to him with a smile, pointed at the leather goods hanging on the wall of the store, and asked: "Welcome, welcome, sir, please take a look, are there any?" The leather goods are eye-catching, the price is negotiable?”
Fang Yunyi just said in a calm tone: "On July 7th, make new clothes."
The shopkeeper's face changed slightly when he heard this, knowing that this was the secret code within the Tsing Yi Envoy.
The shopkeeper looked at Fang Yunyi carefully and said in secret: "There are tigers in the mountains."
Fang Yunyi said: "There is old rice in the warehouse."
The conversation seemed incomprehensible to others, but they knew very well that it must be one of their own.
When the shopkeeper saw that Fang Yunyi was answering fluently, his expression instantly became extremely respectful, and he said politely: "Sir, please follow me into the inner hall."
Fang Yunyi nodded slightly and followed the shopkeeper to the inner hall. After she expressed her intention, the shopkeeper immediately went to the back hall to prepare pen and ink and a small piece of white cloth and presented it respectfully.
Fang Yunyi thought for a while, picked up a pen and carefully wrote down the detailed information about the investigation here. After writing, he blew it, dried it, rolled the secret letter into a small bamboo tube, turned around and handed it to the shopkeeper, saying: "Pass it as quickly as possible." Go to Anyang City in Xue County."
The shopkeeper took the bamboo tube with both hands and promised to leave. Not long after, Fang Yunyi saw a few carrier pigeons flying from the small courtyard of the trading house to Anyang City, thousands of miles away. I really don't know how many families will be destroyed if this letter flies away... …
It was early summer in early June, and Fang Yunyi was traveling all the way, working hard and rushing to Anyang day and night.
The next morning, she finally saw the tall and majestic walls of Anyang City. Anyang City was the capital of the Lu State in the era of the various kingdoms. It is still a famous city in the Central Plains. Fang Yunyi almost came from the westernmost part of the empire, just less than It took two months to arrive at Xue County and Anyang City.
After entering the city, Fang Yunyi rushed directly to the post house where Yifeng and the others were staying, regardless of exhaustion.
At this time, Yi Feng, Zhai Jiang and others were discussing the situation, when suddenly Fang Yunyi pushed the door open and entered.
Yi Feng's face lit up with joy when he saw her coming. He went up to greet her and said, "Junior sister, you are here."
Fang Yunyi didn't waste any time and asked directly: "Have you received my news? How has your investigation been in the past few months?"
Yi Feng said sternly: "Of course I have received your message. You also know that it is extremely difficult for the Fuxing Association gang to find out their clues. With your accurate information, Junior Sister, we have made a major breakthrough. Now we have We have secretly targeted several key figures, this is the result of our investigation, take a look."
After that, Yi Feng handed the materials and evidence to Fang Yunyi for inspection.
After Fang Yunyi took the information and read it, he was also surprised. He didn't expect that the Lu State Revival Meeting would involve so many people?
Fang Yunyi said in surprise: "You have actually checked in such detail in the past few months?"
