Rebirth of the only favorite fool

Why be a big shot?

That year, 13-year-old Fang Qiyou was arguing with his big cousin, and wanted to see the Huaicheng army while his cousin was on an errand.In the Huaicheng military camp, as soon as the curtain was lifted, he saw Xiao Ronglian who was accompanying his father to patrol the border military camp in Huaicheng.

At that time, there was only a young man in white single clothes sitting behind a few tables in the barracks. He was as pure as white as washing, and his eyes were elegant. Only these eight words can describe the heartfelt feelings of the young man who broke in at that time.

Many years later, Fang Qiyou still remembered the first words he uttered when he looked a little stupid at the time: "You are so beautiful...Are you a little fairy?"

Maybe it was fate, it was that one glance that made the 13-year-old Fang Qiyou believe in the person in front of him with all his heart.

That afternoon, in a world far away from the adults, Fang Qiyou watched the young and mature Young Master Xiao tease him in every possible way, but Fang Bafeng didn't move, which made it boring for the young Marshal Fang who had always been troublesome since he was a child. He took the book from the other party's hand, took it over and looked at it, but he was a little surprised: "Ah? So you also read "Three Strategies"?"

I only thought you were a chance encounter, but I didn't expect you to be a bosom friend.

The young man who had been sitting quietly reading a book and let him tease him in every possible way and remained silent only then said lightly: "You read it too?"

"Yes, yes!" Finally, we had a common topic with this little man who fell in love with him at the first sight, and Fang Xiaoshuai said excitedly: "I have liked reading military books since I was a child, and I have read all the seven books of martial arts." , and I aspire to be a general who defends my home and country in the future!"

Young Master Xiao looked at him quietly, and finally smiled at him for the first time in a long time: "It's so ideal."

Fang Xiaoshuai grinned without humility: "That must be!"

That afternoon, Young Marshal Fang, who would become famous all over the world in the future, sparked a conversation with Mr. Xiao, the future leader of the four sons of Shuanglu, about a book of war. , it was out of control once they chatted, especially Fang Shaoshuai, who felt that some confidants met and hated it too late.

At the end of the chat, Mr. Xiao, who was only 13 years old at that time, nodded, and asked a question slowly: "Then have you ever thought that if the general makes the right strategic decision, but the king is bewitched by villains, making him The king's order and the general's order are contrary to each other, what should the general do?"

Fang Xiaoshuai slapped his thigh and said: "Of course it is, the general will not accept the order of the emperor!"

Young Master Xiao glanced at him with a half-smile and said, "Young Master Fang, have you forgotten that General Dongguo from Yu Kingdom's previous dynasty?"

The last few emperors of the previous dynasty were more licentious than the last, and they seemed to be dying.At this time, the Shuo State in the west came to invade with troops. Fortunately, there was a general named Dong Guozhan at that time, who used his military strategy like a god, and repelled the powerful enemy several times.But the emperor didn't trust him, so he sent a supervising army by his side during the battle.Because Dong Guozhan was upright and upright, he finally offended the eunuch who supervised the army, and was secretly reported by the eunuch, saying that the reason why he had been at the border was actually to support the army and stand on his own.The emperor was worried about him, so he urgently called him back to the court.Dong Guozhan insisted not to return for the safety of the border. As a result, the next time he faced the attack of Shuo Kingdom, Dong Guozhan decided to ask the deputy general and the supervising army to reinforce when he led the army to set up an ambush. Unexpectedly, the deputy general who was born in the emperor's mother's family would take over He received a secret order to eradicate Dong Guozhan in private, so the deputy general and the supervising army took the opportunity to not add reinforcements this time, so that all the soldiers who had originally set up an ambush were trapped in the siege of Shuo Kingdom, and none of them survived in the end.

It was this incident that greatly weakened the strength of Yu State's border guards.The emperor destroyed the Great Wall by himself, and finally accelerated the demise of the previous dynasty.In the end, this incident became a typical case of generals being jealous of the monarch, and all soldiers have heard this typical case in the process of receiving teaching.

Fang Xiaoshuai thought about this eternal unsolvable question for a long time, and he frowned cutely, and finally he gritted his teeth and said: "If I encounter a similar situation, even if I want to disobey the king's order, I must protect my family and country." the peace of the people."

Young Master Xiao looked at his appearance and smiled: "Young Master Fang doesn't need to be so worried. In fact, Xiao had considered this puzzle in the early years, and after analyzing the case in detail, he came up with a A feasible solution to solve the king's suspicion without bloodshed."

"What plan? Tell me quickly." Fang Xiaoshuai asked eagerly.

Young Master Xiao smiled quite calmly: "Mr. Fang, have you ever thought about what if the supervisor beside General Dongguo chose to protect him back then?"

Fang Xiaoshuai tilted his head to think about it, and said seriously: "No, no, eunuchs don't value loyalty the most, so why are they willing to stand by General Dongguo's side?"

Xiao Xiaogongzi looked solemn: "No. The world is so big, there will be loyal people among all kinds of people, Fang Shao must not have prejudice against eunuchs."

"And, I'm just giving an example. What I mean is, what if this person trusted by the king is on the general's side at the most critical moment?"

"The general is outside, just because he is outside, it doesn't mean that he has his eyes and ears blocked in the court when he is outside. A good general should not only march and fight, but also learn how to eliminate the suspicion of the monarch."

Fang Xiaoshuai said in distress: "How can a man who can use soldiers still have the energy to play tricks in the court? If he puts his mind on dealing with the king, how can the general concentrate on deploying troops?"

Young Master Xiao finally showed a smug smile: "So at this time, someone is needed in the court to be the most solid backing for the general."

When the general leads the army outside, the courtiers who are deeply favored by the king will protect him privately and plan for him to stabilize the overall situation, so that the general can use the army to relieve his worries.

Fang Qiyou is also a smart person, he understood Xiao Ronglian's thoughts immediately, and there was an inexplicable subtlety in his heart, as if this person was born for him.Dazed for a while, Fang Qiyou solemnly said to Xiao Ronglian with a somewhat immature voice: "If one day I become a general, would you be willing to be my shield?"

Young Master Xiao just smiled and said nothing.

Why do we want to be a big shot?

Not for power, not for fame, but for the ambitions in our hearts, for the realization of our ideals, and for the tranquility and peace of thousands of people on this land.

Fang Qiyou sighed in the night wind with a blood-red coat flapping, and for some reason suddenly remembered what happened several years ago, when he and A Lian met for the first time.

Ah Lian actually didn't agree to him at that time, when he came back to the barracks the next day, Lord Xiaohou had already finished his inspection and returned to his mansion in Huaicheng, and he would come back half a month later.Before half a month had passed, my cousin carried him back to the imperial capital after finishing his errands.Then, when he was 14 years old, he went to the western frontier with his father to hone himself, and he never saw Ah Lian again since then.

After four years of separation, it was already 17 years old when we met again.

There were rustling footsteps behind him, and a general walked up to him and said with a smile, "Master Fang, why are you still not going back to the camp so late?"

Fang Qiyou put away some sad thoughts because he had not seen his family A Lian for many days, and smiled heartily: "Bring the cold wind here, calm down and calm your mind."

The general came up to him, his smile didn't fade, but his voice was lowered a bit: "I heard that Prince Rui is really going to rebel?"

Fang Qiyou glanced at this person calmly, with a subtle smile in his eyes: "Otherwise, why would I be sent here?"

Prince Rui wanted to rebel, but he was doomed to fail.Yes, right now he is already in the camp of the imperial capital's frontier defense - this is the opportunity Ah Lian won for him.But... I really miss Ah Lian a little bit.

Yuncheng Fragrant Sea Snow Court, 33 levels of Lihentian, the tallest and most deserted Lihen Pavilion, burns six large and profound crystal glazed palace lanterns, and the wafting fragrance in the incense burner has a soothing atmosphere.The pavilion is plain and clean, without too many decorations, it looks a bit empty, but there is a long snow-colored dress hanging down on the floor next to the desk.

The two sat opposite each other at the desk, and the stunningly beautiful woman quietly stared at the figure of the opposite person looking at the information in her hand, and then smiled after a long time: "The fragrance made by Jiang Guo's perfumer is really wonderful, even I can't believe it." I like it very much."

The man in white on the opposite side nodded: "If you like it, I'll bring it to you next time I have it."

Yingxue couldn't help pursing her lips into a smile, her side face illuminated by the lamp seemed natural: "If little general Fang finds out, I'm afraid he will say that the young master is partial and doesn't miss him when he has good things."

Xiao Ronglian recalled Fang Xiaoyou who had been thinking about finding a mirror for Yingxue last time because he gave Yingxue the longevity mirror that was a gift from others, and Fang Xiaoyou, who had been thinking about finding this mirror, and himself were annoyed for a long time, and he couldn't help but smile a little. Meaning: "Don't pay attention to him, he sometimes has a childish temper."

Yingxue still had a faint smile on her face, and her voice was quiet and ethereal: "That was in front of the young master."

No matter how mischievous Fang Qiyou is, no matter how much he plays his temper, it is because the person beside him is Xiao Ronglian.It's not that Fang Qiyou is disrespectful, it's just that he is too reassuring about this person.

Xiao Ronglian put down the report in his hand, and asked indifferently: "This time the finale auction is not only the unicorn blood from Prince Rui's residence, but also the mirror armor from the Wei family?"

Yingxue nodded: "That's right, it seems that the Wei family took out this pair of black scale mirror armor in order to save the young master until the end."

Xiao Ronglian looked indifferent: "It's a pity that I have no intention of it, I'm afraid I will disappoint them."

Yingxue looked calmly and asked, "Has the young master prepared a retreat route?"

Xiao Ronglian nodded slightly. He had already contacted Wei Jianxin of the Wei family. As soon as the Huaxue meeting was over, he withdrew from the Wei family's secret road to Yuncheng and returned to the front line of the imperial capital, and brought Fang Qiyou the information that he had ventured to Yuncheng. go back.This is one of the most important moments in Fang Qiyou's life, and he naturally wants to fight side by side with him.

As if thinking of something, Xiao Ronglian smiled: "A few days ago, the second young master of the Gu family came to contact me suddenly. I was caught off guard. I haven't paid much attention to him. I didn't expect that he would also pay attention to the descendants of the Xiao family. Things come to mind."

There are two aristocrats with the same pronunciation in the imperial capital. In this generation, the most respected by the Xiao family is Xiao Luo, the son-in-law of Princess Zhaoyang, who was born after the first emperor Yuan, and the cousin of Xiao Ronglian’s father, Xiao Jun, and Xiaohou. The family is usually called the concubine Xiao's family; and the highest status of the Xiao family is the daughter of Xiao Taijun, the head of the Xiao family, the successor of the first emperor, and the current Empress Dowager Xiao, so they are often called the descendant Xiao family.

Xiao Ronglian has been on defense in Yuncheng for several years, but after all, he is still young, no matter how amazing he is, he cannot fully control many things.He really didn't expect that the second young master of the Gu family, who had always been mediocre and casual, intercepted the secret letter sent to Yuncheng from the Xiao family in the imperial capital that his people had missed.This time Xiao Yan robbed Second Young Master Gu's husband, but asked Second Young Master Gu to come and deliver the letter.

Yingxue knew the elegant meaning when she heard the string song, and immediately said: "This subordinate will ask someone to sort out a detailed information about the Gu family, especially about the second young master Gu."

A family of merchants who build a family based on profit will not easily be involved in changes in the court situation. It is not easy for Xiao Ronglian to gather the four major families who use Yuncheng to build a family through business under the interference of various forces in Yuncheng. thing.If this person is used well, the young master may be able to connect with the Gu family and the Yin family who have always been close to the Gu family.

Xiao Ronglian has an excellent memory, and after reading the information in his hand at a glance, he slightly rolled up his cuffs, and slowly put the information he got into the charcoal basin at his feet: "Well, pay more attention these days Check out the movements of Jiang Guolai's envoys."

"Yes."

That capable woman named Chu Bi, presumably she is not the one in the pool.

Few people know that Xiangxue Haiting's number one beauty, Yingxue, is his counselor, and is his number one leader in collecting information and handling affairs in Yuncheng, and has been taking care of Yuncheng's affairs for him all these years.The first time he rescued this girl, who was only sixteen or seventeen years old at the time and had just grown up, many years ago, he knew that he was right.Now that the situation in Yuncheng is about to change drastically, various forces are surging, involving the three parties of Emperor Yu Cheng, the Xiao family, and Prince Rui, leaving Yingxue here makes him feel a lot more at ease.

Yingxue knew that Xiao Ronglian was going to leave, and before she was about to leave, she finally asked the question in her heart: "My lord, why has the Emperor never suppressed Prince Rui for so many years?"

According to court secrets, Prince Rui's biological mother died at the hands of Empress Dowager Xiao. Prince Rui and his biological mother had a deep relationship, and they had a sworn hatred with the Xiao family. The Xiao family had always suppressed Prince Rui very much.If Emperor Yu Cheng also complied with the Xiao family, Prince Rui would not be as powerful as he is today in Yuncheng.Wasn't Emperor Yu Cheng deliberately condoning Prince Rui's self-esteem in Yuncheng?But people in the royal family, where is there any blood relationship?Emperor Yu Cheng did this, didn't he ever think that one day Prince Rui would raise his troops to seize the throne?

Xiao Ronglian was silent for a moment when he heard the words. At that moment, he somehow remembered the scene when he returned to the imperial capital after traveling around and went to the Kowloon Pagoda to meet Emperor Yu Cheng when he was 17 years old.

The Nine Dragon Pagoda is used to hang the portraits of the outstanding people of the Yu Kingdom in the past dynasties. The portraits of the emperors and empresses of the Yu Kingdom are hung on the top floor. Noble courtiers, in turn.When Prince Rui was weak, he was drawn and recorded in the Nine Dragon Pagoda by Emperor Yu Cheng, who had just succeeded to the throne.

At that time, Emperor Yu Cheng was standing on the eighth floor of the Nine Dragon Tower, with his back turned to him, and what he was looking at was the portrait of Prince Rui. The figure from his back was alone in front of the portrait, and he was even a little lonely.When Emperor Yu Cheng turned his face, there was still loneliness in his eyes, and his voice was quiet, like the ashes of the years: "Time makes people old. In a blink of an eye, this portrait also began to grow old." It's yellowing."

It was just such a simple sentence that made people hear the nostalgia and loneliness that almost shed tears.

At that moment, he found that he seemed to have accidentally touched the deep thoughts of the God and King of the Nine Dragon Tower.

It turned out to be the case.

The world is incomplete.
