Several people left the residence of Xiu Wang Zhao Zicheng together. Fang Jinshi took care of the two elderly people and got into the carriage. Wei Chong sounded a whip and the carriage slowly set off towards Fang Jinshi's home.
Fang Jinshi sat next to Wei Chong who was driving the carriage. From time to time, he looked back at the hood of the carriage and then looked at the street ahead. He felt a little nervous. The curfew time had come. If he encountered an official on patrol, he would be in trouble.
The carriage moved forward and reached the middle of Xiayuan Street. Fang Jinshi heard movement behind him and turned around to look back. He saw a blaze of fire chasing up from far and near. Fang Jinshi thought wrongly, it must be an official official coming. He was anxious and hurriedly said to Wei Chong: "Hurry to the side of the road and hide. There are official officials behind you."
After Wei Chong heard this, he quickly moved the carriage to the side of the road. He heard the sound of horse hooves behind him, and a group of people had already arrived. They were not official servants, but a group of officers and soldiers.
There are only forty or fifty soldiers in this group, and everyone has a horse. At present, more than a dozen people have lit torches to illuminate the road. These people are galloping in the silent night. It seems that there is some urgent military situation. A general at the front He was about forty years old and a little obese. He was walking in a hurry, with sweat on his forehead. When this man passed by Fang Jinshi and others, Fang Jinshi saw that he was immediately carrying a red baggage across his body. Judging from the shape, it should contain a box.
This group of officers and soldiers moved forward without even glancing at Jinshi's carriage on the side of the road. They flew away in the dust. Fang Jinshi breathed a sigh of relief and asked Wei Chong to drive the carriage and move forward again.
The carriage moved forward for a while and turned around an intersection. Fang Jinshi said hurriedly: "Go back, go back quickly." It turned out that a large group of people and horses suddenly occupied the road ahead. It turned out to be many officers and soldiers. Wei Chong drove the carriage and turned quickly. I came here at the intersection and couldn't see it earlier.
At this time, Wei Chong wanted to drive the carriage back, but another group of officers and soldiers came running behind them, shouting and squeezing their carriage in the middle, making it impossible to advance or retreat.
Fang Jinshi secretly complained, but this group of officers and soldiers ignored them and shouted: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" Some of the group of officers and soldiers squeezed to the front, and some crowded around the side of his carriage. Unable to advance or retreat.
Fang Jin Shiwei felt strange. He stood on the carriage and looked forward, and found that the small group of officers and soldiers who had just passed in front had drawn their weapons and were confronting other officers and soldiers blocking the road. The group of officers and soldiers coming behind him were reinforcing the officers and soldiers blocking the road. of.
Amidst the noise, the fat general held a long sword and shouted loudly: "Who will be responsible for missing the military information? Why don't you get out of the way quickly?"
A general blocking the road shouted loudly: "Who knows who you are? No matter who you are, if you dare to run rampant in the imperial corridor, you will die, right?" The fat general shouted: "Which battalion are you from? I I want to see Lieutenant Gao."
Another general replied: "Captain Gao is too busy to see you, a small official." Another general replied: "We are the bodyguards in front of the palace, and Commander Gao has nothing to do with it." After speaking to the officers and soldiers, Laughing together.
Fang Jinshi understood now that this fat general was rampaging in Bianliang City, colliding with the patrolling officers and soldiers, and even got into a stalemate with swords. Both sides were used to being domineering in their respective places. Who could Not afraid of anyone.
Huang Jinmian poked his head out of the carriage and said, "What should I do?" Fang Jinshi said, "I don't know what to do." Huang Jinmian said, "If this little thing can't be done, what's the use of you?" After saying that, he put down the car. The curtain went back into the car.
Fang Jinshi was also helpless. Just as he turned around, he heard the fat general yelling: "Get out of the way!" As he spoke, he suddenly swung his long sword and wiped the head of the general standing in front of him. With one sword strike, the man fell sideways. His sword strike was actually very measured. He just took off the man's helmet. The original intention was to scare him, but it was difficult to see clearly in the dark. There was someone on the guard side in front of the palace. Thinking that he had killed the man with his sword, they rushed up with loud shouts. The two sides were already at war with each other. At this time, the formation was in chaos, the weapons clashed loudly, and several people fell to the ground and were injured immediately.
Fang Jinshi was shocked. Wei Chong wanted to turn his horse around, but was trapped in the middle and could not advance or retreat. In the dark night, there was a sound of horses, the sound of gold and iron, and shouts. The guards swarmed forward, and those who entered Bianliang City also fought back bravely. The scene It's out of control.
Fang Jinshi rushed into the carriage and hurriedly said to the three people in the carriage: "Go quickly, go quickly." He reached out to support Huang Jinmian's mother and was about to pull her down to the carriage. Suddenly, a torch flew out from the chaos. After landing on the carriage, the curtains were lit, and the fire started immediately. Fang Jinshi took Huang's mother out of the car, handed her into the hands of Wei Chong under the carriage, and turned around to pick up Huang's father and get out of the car.
Huang Jinmian got out of the carriage, Fang Jinshi reached out to hold her hand and said: "Jump quickly."
At this time, the fire was burning very brightly, and the surrounding officers and soldiers came forward to fight. The crowd gradually thinned out. The horse pulling the cart was frightened by the fire, turned half a circle, and with a long squawk, ran towards the street.
Fang Jinshi and the two were rushed by the horse and lost their footing. They hugged each other and fell down. The fire was raging. Fang Jinshi's clothes and hair, which were pressed against Huang Jinmian, immediately started to burn. However, the angry horse ran wildly and he was unable to get up for a while. Fight the flames on your body.
A burning carriage ran wildly through the streets of Bianliang City. Huang Jinmian hugged his neck tightly and rolled to the side. The two of them fell off the carriage. The fall caused Fang Jinshi below to lose almost all his internal organs. The crack came out and he couldn't move. His body was still burning. Huang Jinmian quickly pushed him to roll on the ground twice, extinguishing the flames on his body.
Huang Jinmian asked eagerly: "How are you?"
Fang Jinshi said feebly: "My body hurts." Huang Jinmian saw that the clothes on his body were burned one by one and his hair was scattered. He didn't know how injured he was. He wanted to find some water for him, but he couldn't find it. Ke Zhao helped him sit on the ground, leaned forward and said, "Where are you injured? Move your hands and feet to see where you are."
Fang Jinshi said: "Don't worry about me for now. Go and see how your parents are doing." Huang Jinmian was also worried about his parents. Seeing that he was okay for the time being, he turned around to look for him. He didn't go far when he saw Wei Wei. Chong helped the two elders of the Huang family to find them.
When both parties met, they asked if everything was okay. They were relieved to learn that everyone was safe. Several people came to where Fang Jinshi was sitting. Fang Jinshi wanted to stand up, but his body swayed. Wei Chong stepped forward to support him, and Fang Jinshi said: "Two Is the old man okay?"
Huang Jinmian's father was still polite when he saw him like this, and he was less prejudiced against him. After asking several people, they all said that "many people died" at that time. Fang Jinshi knew that the army would arrive in an instant and did not dare to stay for a long time. Here, fortunately, there was a branch of Jinxianzhuang not far away. Several people hurried there and opened the door, and then hid in it.
Fang Jinshi went to wash his face. Although he was not seriously injured, he was burned in several places and the pain was unbearable. Huang Jinmian felt sorry for it and went to find some ointment to treat burns and applied it on him. He kept tossing it until daybreak and the officers and soldiers in the city stopped. Then he slowly hired a carriage again and returned to his home.
When Liang Cuirong and Yun Nuer heard that Fang Jinshi was injured, they both rushed over to see him. After a few people left, Liang Cuirong closed the door and carefully checked his injury, then asked the doctor to come over and reapply medicine before sending him away. After being admitted to the hospital, Liang Cuirong complained: "You're serious too. Her parents came here right away and she had to pick her up overnight. Don't you know the curfew?"
Fang Jinshi crawled on the bedside and said, "I'm hurt like this and you're still scolding me." Liang Cuirong said, "You deserve it." She cursed, but in fact, she felt uncomfortable for him in her heart. Fang Jinshi crawled out of bed. After getting up and putting on clothes despite the pain, Liang Cuirong said, "Where are you going?"
Fang Jinshi said: "Why do you say that my parents are old people? I always feel bad if I don't go over to say hello when I come home."
Liang Cuirong watched him go out and sighed softly. Sometimes this man is really ungrateful, but sometimes he does everything just right and is very understanding of the world. I really can't understand him.
Fang Jinshi had dinner with Huang Jinmian's family, and then spent a day with the second elder of the Huang family. The old man gradually became less hostile towards him. Even if he was hostile, he had no choice but to passively accept his son-in-law.
In the afternoon of the next day, Deng An came to report that King Yun Zhao Kai had sent someone to invite him. Fang Jinshi did not dare to neglect after hearing this. He talked to the two elders of the Huang family and took the carriage sent by Zhao Kai to go to Prince Yun's Mansion together.
Zhao Kai was sitting in the Nuan Pavilion drinking tea. He saw that Fang Jinshi had some problems walking, so he smiled and asked, "What's wrong with your legs?"
Fang Jinshi said: "There was a fire at home the day before yesterday, and I fell while fighting the fire."
Zhao Kai smiled and said: "Then you are too careless at home." Fang Jinshi only agreed, and the two chatted for a few more words, which were all casual gossip. Fang Jinshi was secretly surprised that Zhao Kai came to him in a hurry. But he didn't say why. This was not his style.
Seeing that Zhao Kai didn't say anything, he asked directly: "I wonder what the third brother came to see me for?"
Zhao Kai smiled and said: "There is something, but do you think it is a good thing or a bad thing?" Fang Jinshi said: "I think the third brother is in a good mood, I think it must be a good thing."
Zhao Kai nodded and said, "It's a good thing. What kind of good thing could that be?" Fang Jinshi said, "This...I couldn't guess, but is there any clue about the Jiangnan Tea House?"
Zhao Kai said: "This has been decided a long time ago, it is not a good thing."
Fang Jinshi said: "Then I can't guess."
Zhao Kai smiled and said: "Then tell me, what is your greatest wish in life?"
Fang Jinshi said: "Of course I hope that the world will be peaceful, the people will live and work in peace and contentment, and the world will be at peace."
Zhao Kai praised: "You really have great ambitions. I really underestimated you before. I thought you would like gold and silver beauties, high officials and generous salaries."
Fang Jinshi said in embarrassment: "Third brother was joking, but actually... I still like gold and silver beauties and so on."
Zhao Kai stood up, pointed at him with a smile and said, "I knew what you said before was all nonsense." He turned to a housekeeper outside and said, "Are you ready?"
The butler said: "It's ready."
Zhao Kai turned to Fang Jinshi and said, "Let's go." Fang Jinshi asked doubtfully, "Where to go?"
Zhao Kai said: "You will know when you follow me." He had led the way before, and Fang Jinshi followed him all the way to the back garden, turned around the winding path, passed through the middle door and came to the side hall of the back garden.
