Plan to cut off the nine states

Five days later, Tianjiang appeared again in Siguo Valley, covered in dust, as if he had traveled a long way. He would only nod his head when he saw an acquaintance, and would not answer any questions. He would find a room and fall asleep.

No one paid special attention to him. Everyone was still talking about the wedding of the Prince of Jibei the day before yesterday. Only an old servant in the valley was lucky enough to go to the city to watch it. He brought a small gift that even made him blush, but he got back a much more valuable gift afterwards. , which made him feel even more guilty.

In fact, the old servant didn't see anything. The city was very lively, and the palace was even more crowded. Everyone was as excited as if they were getting married. The old servant was deeply affected. He heard many rumors and really thought that Witnessed the wedding.

"The newlyweds are like gods descending to earth. Needless to say, the prince, the bride is also extremely beautiful..."

"Did you see your new wife lift her hijab?"

"No."

"Then how do you know she's stunningly beautiful?"

"Well... you can tell from the outline. This is experience. You will understand it when you are my age."

Everyone laughed, not quite believing it, but listening with great interest.

Chang Yan offered wine and meat, and invited several officers and soldiers from the checkpoint a few miles away to listen to their description of the wedding. It was able to corroborate the old servant's statement, and there were some more details.

Feng Juniang didn't like hearing this, and walked over expressionlessly. The maid looked back frequently, and finally got the master's permission. She ran back quickly, joined the conversation, and asked: "Does the princess beyond the wall wear the same clothes as us?"

"They are not called princesses outside the Great Wall, and have you ever seen what a real princess wears?"

"I've seen it in paintings."

"Haha, that's different. Why did Mrs. Feng leave?"

"She always gets married and is not interested in such things."

…

Feng Juniang came to Tian Jiang's residence, knocked on the door twice, but received no response, opened the door and went in, standing at the door and looking at the bed.

Tianjiang was still fast asleep.

Feng Juniang couldn't wait, so she coughed twice, but there was still no response from the bed. She looked around and pushed down the door latch leaning against the wall, making a heavy sound.

Tian Jiang finally woke up, glanced at the person standing at the door, turned around and went back to sleep.

"Even if you don't treat me as a woman, at least treat me as a guest." Feng Juniang paused for a moment and continued: "I won't leave until I finish speaking."

Tian Jiang sat up, with a look of indifference and slight anger at being woken up, and gave a vague hum, indicating that the other party could speak.

"Where have you been these days?" Feng Juniang asked.

Tian Jiang raised his head to look at her, raised his hands and rubbed his face, "No comment."

"Hey, the three people you brought back before are assassins. Don't you want to say something?"

"In no mood."

"The young master is safe and sound, aren't you a little disappointed?"

"There was no hope, so where did the disappointment come from?"

Feng Juniang closed the door behind her, walked to the window and sat on the stool, "I want to marry you."

"Huh?" Tian Jiang's face was no longer tired.

"Yes, I want to marry you, and I will announce it when I get out."

"I don't want to marry you."

"You are afraid of being killed by me, so you don't want to admit it. People outside will understand you." There was no smile on Feng Juniang's face, but a serious expression that she was thinking about the other party.

Tian Jiang sneered, "Do you think Tian will care about this kind of thing?"

"If you don't care about being killed, why not openly admit your marriage?"

"That's not what I'm talking about. I don't care about being framed."

"It's not a false accusation. I just want to know how much of my 'kefu' skills are left. Once, I fell in love with someone and really liked him. I secretly made up my mind that after my husband at the time died, I would do it no matter what. It would be good to marry this person even for a day. Alas, he died too early and I didn't even have time to express my love. From then on, I knew that my life was unusually hard, and I didn't even have a husband. Anyone with a good reputation can be killed."

Tian Jiang sneered again, "Okay, I have always felt that my life is tough. I have escaped death several times with swords on my neck, but I want to see what you can do."

Feng Juniang stood up and said with a smile: "Then it's settled, I'll go out and announce that we two are married, and let them change their name to me as Mrs. Tian from now on. Do you need a formal ceremony? I don't care, I will listen to you."

The field craftsman said nothing.

"Think slowly." Feng Juniang stepped toward the door.

"etc."

Feng Juniang turned around, with a smile on her face.

Tian Jiang's face became even more gloomy, "I don't believe what Kefu said, and I don't care about false accusations, but..."

"Don't you think it's necessary?"

"right."

"I don't think it's necessary to make things too tense, so why don't you tell me the truth?" Feng Juniang sat down again.

"Where is Mr. Xu?"

"I just went to the back mountain to carry water, and now I'm probably chopping firewood."

"He has changed his practice method again."

"Is this considered spiritual practice? Well, marrying a man and killing my husband are also spiritual practices."

"Hey. I originally wanted to say these words to Mr. Xu. Since you insist on listening, please convey them to me."

"Sleep as soon as you get back. It doesn't seem to be an emergency."

"It's not an urgent matter to me anyway."

"Say it, I'm listening."

Tian Jiang was originally sleeping with his clothes on, but now he got out of bed and put on his shoes, walked over and opened the door a crack, then turned to Feng Juniang, "Kou Daogu has gone to work as an aide to the King of Jibei."

Feng Juniang was startled, "What's going on?"

"Kou Daogu must no longer be condescending. This time he joins the world, he may want to take revenge on someone."

Feng Juniang's face turned a little pale.

"He hates Xu Chu more than you." Tian Jiang reminded.

"I know who he is and I'm not afraid of him at all. The King of Jibei is also ridiculous. Don't you know that Kou Daogu is a very hypocritical person? He claims to be noble, but in fact he is not clear with his servant." Feng Juniang showed a look of disdain, somewhat Even she was ashamed to speak out about it.

"The two servants have disappeared. I don't know if they are dead or hiding. In short, although Kou Daogu's reputation has been damaged, he has not yet been ruined. He is still respected by many scholars. The King of Jibei accepted him as an aide, and he is very knowledgeable. The human heart.”

"What does Kou Daogu want? Inspiring the King of Jibei to kill the young master and me?" Feng Juniang felt guilty. After all, they were all living under someone else's roof.

"I don't know. So far, he doesn't seem to have said anything bad about the young master. It will be difficult to say anything bad about him in the future."

"And you don't think this is an emergency?"

"It doesn't count."

"Hmph. What else?"

Tian Jiang thought for a while, "No more."

"That's all?"

"That's all."

"You have nothing to say about those assassins?"

Tianjiang shook his head.

"I suspect that you deliberately brought assassins into the valley." Feng Juniang said it bluntly.

"good."

"good?"

"You doubt me, I can't change your mind, I can only say 'yes'."

Feng Juniang looked at Tian Jiang and felt that he was more difficult to deal with than Kou Daogu. "You also want to know whether the young master still has ambitions, right?"

"What do you mean by ambition?"

"Be king and compete for the world."

"Xu Chu doesn't have such ambitions, but he won't live in seclusion. For me, this is enough." Tian Jiang kicked off his shoes and fell on the bed again.

"I haven't finished asking yet."

"I've already said it. If you want to be my wife, just announce it. I remind you that my method of disciplining my wife may be different from your previous husband."

"If you want to discipline me, just dream." Feng Juniang walked out of the room without announcing anything to anyone. She walked quickly around the back of the room and saw Xu Chu chopping firewood.

This was a servant's job, but Xu Chu did it with great enthusiasm. He rolled up his sleeves high and held the ax in both hands, chopping with great joy. There was a high pile beside him, and his face was covered with sweat.

Feng Juniang couldn't help but think: Kou Daogu is like the moon in the water. It looks the same as the moon in the sky. In fact, it is very different. Once you see through it, it is not difficult to deal with it. Tianjiang is a stubborn rock. After you see through it, it is useless and it is still a drop of water. If you don't advance, lightning will not move; but Xu Chu is like a river. Everyone knows that it is going to the sea, but it flows east and west in the middle. It seems that it is not in a hurry at all, and it may suddenly change its mind. It’s elusive.

She couldn't understand what the young master was doing.

Xu Chu pressed the ax handle with one hand and wiped the sweat with the other, and said to Feng Juniang: "Chopping firewood is also a skill. I have to practice more."

"What happens after you finish practicing?"

"There is no end to learning. Just chopping firewood is enough for me to practice for a lifetime."

Feng Juniang smiled and shook her head, "Tian Jiang is back and is sleeping. He asked me to tell the young master that Kou Daogu has defected to the King of Jibei and is working as an aide."

"interesting."

"Kou Daogu must have the intention to commit murder. Does the young master find it interesting?"

"I said it's interesting that Tian Jiang asked you to deliver a message."

Feng Juniang's face darkened, "It's not interesting at all. I forced him to say it, and he was only willing to say this and not a word of anything else."

"What else do you want to know?"

Feng Juniang took two steps forward and said, "He brought Dai Pohu and others in. There should be an explanation, right?"

"Without Tianjiang's guidance, could Dai Pohu find this place?"

"Of course you can, but..."

"Tian Jiang went to monitor the road, but he was ordered by me."

"no."

"So he doesn't have to explain."

Feng Juniang was stunned for a while, "Young Master really doesn't care about anything now?"

"I care about this." Xu Chu picked up the ax and looked at the standing piece of wood, feeling that he still had the strength to chop it down to the bottom.

Feng Juniang bit her lip and thought for a while, "I want to leave the young master."

"Where to go?"

"Enter the city. Kou Daogu has found a backer for himself. I don't want to sit still and wait for death, and..."

"And the destined wealth will not be with me." Xu Chu said with a smile, knowing Feng Juniang's thoughts very well.

"Well, if you keep living in seclusion, you might as well let me die early." Feng Juniang simply admitted.

"Okay, go ahead and ask the others if they are willing to go into the city with you."

If she didn't know the young master a little bit, Feng Juniang would have thought this was a sarcastic comment, "How many people do you want me to take away, the young master?"

“Everyone has his own way, no matter how much or how little.”

"This group of assassins won't be the only ones. Everyone is gone. How can the young master protect himself?"

"Soldiers are coming to block, just adapt accordingly." Xu Chu weighed the ax in his hand, as if he could block the assassin with it.

"I will serve as a pioneer for the young master, and I will never let Kou Daogu interfere with the young master's cultivation."

"I'm the one who caused the trouble, I can't blame anyone else."

Xu Chu came uninvited, occupied Si Guo Valley, and claimed to be an orthodox Fan scholar, which caused the following incidents. He did not hide this.

"It doesn't matter who starts the fight first. The war has started and we can't retreat or retreat. I have an idea that can keep the young master safe and get some benefits for me, but I am learning from the field craftsman - I won't tell you."

Feng Juniang blinked her eyes, turned and left, feeling quite excited at the thought of going into the city to continue her secret fight with Kou Daogu.
