After breakfast, Yuan Fangzheng sat on the chair and picked his teeth, watching Sang Rou and them clean up the table with great enjoyment, at this time, Xiao Ling came in and said, "Brother-in-law, there is a person named Wuhua outside who wants to see you." ”

Yuan Fang was stunned for a moment, scratched his head and said, "Wuhua, why does it sound a little familiar." ”

Sang Rou reminded: "I remember, he should be that Dugu Zhen's subordinate, and he seems to be the city lord of some city, but why did he come here?" ”

Yuan Fang finally remembered after being reminded like this, touched his chin and said, "I almost know what he's doing, Xiao Ling, let him in." ”

Xiao Ling was just about to turn around and go out, but he stopped and asked, "Brother-in-law, where are you taking him?" ”

Yuan Fang habitually replied: "Go to the study." ”

Xiao Ling was embarrassed and said, "But isn't it too messy over there in the study?" ”

Yuan Fang suddenly realized: "Then bring him here." ”

Huo Bingyan grabbed Xiao Ling, looked at the red hairpin on her head and said enviously: "Ah, Xiao Ling's hairpin is so good-looking, where did you buy it?" ”

Hearing this, Xiao Ling first glanced at Yuan Fang a little shyly, and then said with a smug face: "This was given to me by my brother-in-law yesterday, how is it?" Isn't it beautiful? After speaking, he walked out of the small courtyard.

All the women looked at Yuan Fang in unison, and Sang Rou smiled and said, "Brother-in-law? Why did you send Xiaoling a hairpin? Do you like someone? ”

Yuan Fang hurriedly explained: "Of course not, yesterday you didn't know where to go, so I asked Xiao Ling to accompany me to the palace, and stayed there for a day, Xiao Ling didn't help less, and when I came back in the evening, I passed by a small stall selling this thing, and I bought one for her as a thank you, which is very reasonable, right?" ”

Sang Rou suddenly sighed, and Xia Yi shouted, "Then brother-in-law will also buy us a hairpin today." ”

Yuan Fang rolled his eyes and said, "Didn't Yang Xing give you a set of jewelry each?" What do you need such a cheap hairpin? ”

Ye Qingru was dissatisfied and said: "Those are two different things, this is sincerity, do you understand sincerity?" ”

Yuan Fang knew that he was going to break the fortune, so he reluctantly said: "Why don't I give you the silver, and you go and buy it yourself?" ”

Yu Jingqiu pouted and said, "Hmph, there is no sincerity at all, alas, it seems that we can't compare with Xiaoling." ”

The sourness in Yu Jingqiu's words was full, Yuan Fang was secretly funny, now Xiao Nizi also knew that she was jealous, Yuan Fang knew that these little Nizi were powerful, in order not to have to eat cold rice in the future, or to be frozen when the door was opened when he slept in the middle of the night, Yuan Fang immediately smiled and said: "A few aunts and grandmothers, do I surrender?" I'll take you over to buy it when you have the time, you can pick it up, right? The women turned their anger into joy, and Yuan Fang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, secretly sighing that women were really troublesome.

didn't wait long, Xiao Ling brought Wuhua in, Yuan Fang almost didn't recognize it when he saw Wuhua, this thing was very different from the previous majestic and dignified, a coarse cloth clothes, a pair of straw sandals with a hole, a hat, and the beard on his face was shaved, looking similar to the vegetable farmers who went to the city in the countryside, no matter how he looked like a city lord.

Xiao Ling brought Wuhua and left, she rested today, and made an appointment with a few sisters to go shopping, if she hadn't encountered this at the door, she would have been on the street by now.

Wuhua glanced at Sang Rou and the girls, skimmed the clothes drying on the rope, looked at Yuan Fang enviously, and saluted, "I've seen Doctor Yuan." ”

Yuan Fang returned the salute, warmly invited Wuhua to sit down, and explained apologetically: "The study is being renovated, so please meet your Excellency here, if there is any neglect, please don't mind." ”

Wuhua waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's good here." ”

Sang Rou sent tea, and stood behind Yuan Fang with Jieyue, Ouyang Xianxue and the girls glanced at each other and hid in Yuan Fang's room to whisper, it is enough to have Sang Rou and Jieyue here, it is really unnecessary for them to stay, and they will look defensive of each other, too stingy.

Yuan Fang still has a big event today, so he doesn't have much time to delay, and Wuhua is also very anxious, so the two of them didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the point.

As Yuan Fang guessed, Wuhua came to ask for help this time, Dugu Zhen's current situation is not very good, he has written a few letters but has not received a reply, Dugu Zhen can't wait any longer, so he sent Wuhua to personally come over to Yang Xing for an interview, hoping to solve the current crisis as soon as possible.

At the beginning, Yuan Fang pretended to be Yang Xing and reached an agreement with Dugu Zhen in the name of the three princes, and now, Dugu Zhen has fulfilled his promise to help Yang Xing recover Nanzhou, and has been stabilizing the border between the two countries, so that Yang Xing has no worries in the internal struggle, and he doesn't have to worry about the harassment of the Empire, which can be regarded as a great help, and now, it is indeed time for Yuan Fang to fulfill his promise.

At the beginning, Wu Hua mistakenly thought that Yuan Fang was Yang Xing, but now he has clear the identities of the two, although he was a little dissatisfied with what Yuan Fang pretended to be, and even a little worried that the other party would repay the debt, but when he learned that Yuan Fang and Yang Xing had a close relationship, his hanging heart was slightly relaxed, in his opinion, such a big man should not be untrustworthy, especially after being summoned by Yuan Fang, Wu Hua was more convinced of his judgment.

Rather Yuan Fang knew more or less about the affairs of the empire, and after listening to Wuhua's story, Yuan Fang frowned and said: "His Royal Highness has been discussing this matter, and you also know that His Highness's enthronement ceremony is imminent, and he really can't pull it out." ”

Wu Hua hurriedly said: "You don't need Your Highness to go out in person, just send someone over to cooperate with our Highness's actions." ”

Yuan Fang shook his head and said: "It's not as simple as you think, forget it, let's be honest with you, our Eastern Sage Empire has been in chaos for many years, and now although His Royal Highness is unified, some forces are still lurking in the shadows waiting for an opportunity, as long as we accidentally leak a flaw, they will definitely not hesitate to act, if there is a rebellion within the empire, you also know how much impact it will have on an empire, if one is not good, it is not impossible for the empire to be subverted, so we can't send troops for the time being, at least not now." ”

Wu Hua said angrily: "Could it be that you want to break your original promise? ”

Yuan Fang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Don't get excited, I didn't say that, haven't you been thinking of a way, now Your Highness has been thinking about this matter all day long, I believe it won't be long before you can come up with a way to get the best of both worlds." ”

Wuhua said angrily: "You are perfunctory, you are deliberately delaying. ”

Yuan Fang was a little unhappy: "What do you think it's your business, anyway, I've already made it clear, I admit that you helped us, but you can't ask us to lose the entire empire in order to help you, right?" ”

Wu Hua paused for a moment: "This, alas! So what do you say? ”
