Chapter 1210 The wall has ears

Sunny City

The name dates back to 700 years ago, except that it was called Sunny Town at the time. During the Chengde period of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the world was already full of complaints, and people from all over the country revolted against the Zhou. The northern Dakou Xu moth raised the flag here, gathered 1,300 people in one day, and the county seat of Benke that day.

Xu Feimoth said when he gathered for righteousness, I am equivalent to holding high the banner of righteousness here and spilling blood on my head, just for the blue sky and bright sun on my head to shine on the world.

Therefore, the place was renamed Yanyang Town.

Later, the Zhou army exterminated the rebel army, and specially escorted more than 300 leaders of the rebel army such as Xu Feimoth to behead the public. Because Xu Moth is righteous and treats the people very well, people come to pay respects from time to time. In the following ten years, the Great Zhou Dynasty gradually collapsed, and the remnants of Xu Moth's subordinates moved here one after another to live here to guard Xu Moth's tomb.

Gradually, the population here is growing.

In the year of Dazheng Suihua, it was set up as a county. Because it is a very important hub, the population is increasing. The city wall was expanded several times, and in the early years of the Great Sui Dynasty, it was set up as the place of Taoism.

Gao Xianze is not very old, a little in his early forties. The man was of medium build, and looked slightly thin. This person has a strong bookish atmosphere, and he doesn't look like a heroic man with tens of thousands of soldiers. Gao Xianze has a well-known nickname, and is known as Gao Blind.

That's because this person has loved reading since he was a child, to the point of forgetting to sleep and eat. He became short-sighted early, and later he couldn't recognize it until two people walked very closely. Or because of this, his ears are so sensitive that he is said to be able to tell who is walking by the sound of footsteps from tens of meters away.

Of course, only to people he knows.

When Fang Jie's army arrived at Sunny City, it stopped more than ten miles away from Sunny City. In order to show respect for Gao Xianze, Fang Xie first sent someone to Yanyang City to inform him. Then he ordered the army to rest in place, and he himself took a dozen of his right-hand men, plus a hundred and ten elite cavalry schools, and rode lightly towards Sunny City.

Knowing that Fang Xie had arrived, Gao Xianze did not dare to delay, and personally greeted him and went out for ten miles.

"Humble Gao Xianze, knock on the prince."

Gao Xianze was extremely polite, and after his subordinates reminded him who Fang Xie was, he walked up and down quickly, knelt down in his robe and made a big salute. Although the Great Sui has collapsed now, the Great Sui is still there. Fang Xie is the prince of the Great Sui, and Gao Xianze's salute is also within the rules. However, it can also be seen that this person does not have much resistance to Fang Jie.

"Guogong, please."

Fang Xie stretched out his hand and helped Gao Xianze up by the hand. Gao Xianze is a hereditary duke, and his ancestor is also one of the founding heroes of the Great Sui.

Fang Xie saw that Gao Xianze's eyes narrowed almost into a gap, and knew that the rumors were true. He took out a small box from his cuffs, opened it, took out a pair of glasses and handed it to Gao Xianze: "When I was in Suzaku Mountain, I had nothing to do to find craftsmen to create a few of these gadgets. I happen to have one in my hand, and I'll give you a greeting gift. ”

"What is this?"

Gao Xianze took it and thanked him, but he didn't know what it was.

Fang Xie put on the glasses for Gao Xianze and asked, "How do you feel?" ”

In fact, Fang Xie didn't know if this thing was useful, he didn't know how his eyesight was, and it didn't make sense if it didn't work. However, it seems that Gao Xianze's reaction is very strong, and he is greatly admired after blinking his eyes. Looking at his expression, Fang Xie knew that these glasses were still somewhat helpful to Gao Xianze.

"Amazing!"

Gao Xianze was obviously a little excited: "This thing is so useful!" ”

Fang Xie laughed, and the two of them walked together.

The two of them greeted each other all the way, and it seemed that they were talking about speculation. Gao Xianze seemed to be very interested in the battle of Eastern Xinjiang, and asked Fang Xie about Eastern Xinjiang from time to time. Fang Xie said something casually, and Gao Xianze was shocked.

After entering the city, because it was still early, he went to Gao Xianze's house to speak.

Fang Xie did not let Gao Xianze talk in the living room, but went directly into Gao Xianze's study.

There were only four people in the room.

Fang Jie, Gao Xianze, Wu Yiyi, and Gao Xianze's strategist Xu Hu.

This Xu Hu's name sounds like a big man, but in fact he is a thin old man. This person should be about sixty years old, and he looks like an old pedant in a private school. Because he didn't have any fame on his body, he wore a cloth robe. However, because it was too thin, this brand new looking dress was a little out of place.

"Do you know why Lone came on a detour?"

Fang Xie asked directly.

Gao Xianze was not surprised, smiled and replied: "The prince cares about the importance of Yanyang City, but in fact, he also cares about the tens of thousands of soldiers in the hands of the lowly position. Of course, perhaps the prince is more concerned about ...... What kind of attitude is lowly to be humble? ”

His answer seemed more direct.

Gao Xianze glanced at Xu Hu, and Xu Hu stepped forward to pour tea for Fang Jie: "Lord Wang, in fact, the prince has been looking forward to the prince coming." Before, Guogong had been sending people to inquire about the prince's rules and routes, where to go, and how long it would take to return to Beijing. Guogong said that if the prince left Sunny City when he returned, then everything would be fine. If the prince did not go to Sunny City but went back to Chang'an directly, then I am afraid that it will not be good news. ”

These are two wonderful people.

It seems that the four words of like-mindedness are indeed true.

Gao Xianze seems to be a weak scholar, but he has a very straightforward temperament. And the Xu Hu he trusts seems to be a pedant who chews words, but his temperament is also so crisp and refreshing.

"Guogong also said that if the prince does not come, I am afraid that a certain general will come later in the future, with 100,000 soldiers."

Xu Hu paused slightly: "And in fact, it seems that many people are looking forward to the prince sending an army of 100,000. ”

……

……

From the very beginning, Gao Xianze's attitude was beyond Fang Jie's expectations. When Fang Xie talked to Wu Yiyi and others before, judging from the rumors from the outside world, this Gao Xianze was a grass-like figure, and he was always waiting for the biggest wind to blow.

However, hearing is better than seeing.

The moment Fang Xie saw Gao Xianze, he knew that the rumors were false. And these rumors are often what others want him to hear. Not long ago, people kept mentioning to him that Gao Xianze was not a good person and was not trustworthy. If Fang Xie had been in the past, he might not have considered whether the person who told him like this had any purpose, but since he and Wu had speculated a lot of things, Fang Xie began to observe some small things that were not very conspicuous on weekdays.

"The reason why Lone doesn't let you meet in the living room is because the living room is too big."

Fang Xie smiled and said, "If it's too big, there will be more people." ”

Gao Xianze's face changed slightly, and he seemed to understand Fang Jie's attitude.

"In fact, since I heard that the prince has returned, I have always been worried...... For more than a year, people in Chang'an City have come over from time to time, and they didn't indicate any attitude at the beginning, but just said that the imperial court attaches great importance to Yanyang City, which reassures me. However, since three months ago, a guy who claimed to be a close confidant of Lord Dugu came, and he realized how much evil was hidden here. The man said that he had brought the meaning of Lord Dugu, and told me that if the prince summons the lowly to Beijing after returning to Beijing, do not come in, otherwise he will die without a place to be buried. ”

Gao Xianze glanced at Fang Xie and said with some disappointment: "Lord Wang, what you are entrusted with is not human." ”

Wu Yiyi's face changed slightly, and he subconsciously looked at Fang Jie.

Fang Xie did not change his face.

"What else did Dugu tell you?"

Fang asked.

Gao Xianze said: "I didn't say it, Lord Dugu just sent someone to tell me, don't enter Chang'an casually." He meant humiliation, thinking that it should be the prince who wanted to get rid of the lowly position. ”

Xu Hu said beside him: "In the more than a year since the prince left Chang'an City, many people in Chang'an City have come. Not long ago, General Cui Zhongzhen sent someone to tell the prince that if the prince returned to Beijing to summon the prince, the prince would enter Beijing immediately and should not bring people and horses. Otherwise, it will arouse the suspicion of the prince and be very detrimental to the prince. What General Cui meant was that if the prince asked the prince to enter Beijing, he would go immediately, and he would travel lightly without delay. ”

Xu Hu said: "These two are important ministers under the prince, one is in charge of the government, the other is in charge of heavy troops, they are both important figures in the Black Flag Army, how can they have such different attitudes?" ”

These two people, you and I say a word, but they cooperate very well. The two of them were obviously ready, and they had agreed not to make any temptations, but to ask questions directly. But it's no wonder that when you think about it, this is exactly what can reflect that Gao Xianze and this Xu Hu are extremely smart people.

Fang Jie's current strength is unparalleled in the world. Gao Xianze knew that if he tried something, he was afraid that it would backfire. Instead of that, it's better to be straightforward and say what you think. Even if he has some soldiers and horses in his hands, he can compare them to the Black Flag Army like stones and mountains.

Such directness, although it may be embarrassing for Fang Jie, they are obviously more eager to express their attitude.

That is, the other party does not contradict it.

Fang Xie did not directly answer Gao Xianze and Xu Hu's words, but asked rhetorically: "So Guogong thinks that Dugu Wenxiu and Cui Zhongzhen, which one is really good for you?" ”

"I'm just afraid...... It's not for the sake of lowly duties. ”

Gao Xianze was silent for a while, raised his head and looked at Fang Xie and said word by word: "I'm just afraid...... It's not for the prince, right? ”

……

……

After lunch, Fang Xie went back to the room that Gao Xianze had prepared for him to rest. Wu Yi walked in after him, his face solemn.

"Lord, isn't Dugu really crossing the line?"

Wu Yi first dispersed his cultivation power, and only asked after finding out that there was no one nearby eavesdropping.

Fang Xie walked over and closed the window.

He shook his head and lowered his voice a little: "Well, it seems that Dugu really disappointed me." ”

What he said was that Dugu did have a problem, but he was shaking his head. Wu Yiyi was stunned for a moment, but soon understood what he meant. Fang Xie took a pen from the table and wrote on the paper: The wall has ears, the person here is not a master, it should be a special person from Tianfu.

Wu Yi frowned, wanting to ask Fang Xie how he knew, but finally endured it.

Fang Xie stretched out his hand and wiped the ink with the power of cultivation, the white paper seemed to have not been touched, Fang Xie put the paper away, neatly.

"Let's talk about it later"

Fang Xie raised his voice slightly: "However, Gao Xianze's words can't be believed, what Dugu said, what Cui Zhongzhen said, it was Gao Xianze's words." I'm not sure it's Dugu who has a different heart, because ...... Maybe Gao Xianze was their man, he was just saying what they wanted me to hear. ”

Wu Yiyi snorted.

Although Wu Yiyi didn't know why Fang Xie was so careful, he knew that since Fang Xie said that the wall had ears, it was obviously not wrong. The two of them said something that had little practical significance, and then Wu Yi immediately took his leave. Fang Xie lay down on the bed and rested for a while, and then shouted outside: "Come on, go find Gao Xianze, and let him come to see me." ”
