The passerby who doesn't have a word in the book
Chapter 24 Ordinary Quarrel
Xie Fanghan remained skeptical about this cheap father who has recently started to use his sense of presence frequently, just like today, she came out of the palace with anger, and immediately met him at the gate of the palace. She didn't believe that Xie Mingyuan would be a prophet, presumably she had installed a spy .
"You also have eyeliner in the palace?" Xie Fanghan asked casually.
"Yes." Xie Mingyuan answered frankly, without hiding anything.
"..." Xie Fanghan glanced at him, and complained unceremoniously, "You really have a big heart."
Xie Mingyuan laughed "haha" twice, and didn't care about Xie Fanghan's ridicule. After the laughter, the carriage returned to silence. Xie Mingyuan looked at the man on the other side who was in a trance, and suddenly said, "You can't go back to Xie's house."
Xie Fanghan raised his head and silently looked at Xie Mingyuan, without making a sound, but his eyes were filled with puzzlement and surprise.
Xie Mingyuan suddenly met Xie Fanghan's eyes, and the words that were on the verge of his mouth suddenly closed, and he continued to speak after a brief loss of consciousness, "You have made a lot of limelight this time, let's not talk about those princes, those sons of the Junhou Mansion are afraid I can't swallow this breath yet."
Xie Fanghan immediately understood what he meant, and asked nonchalantly, "Is the Xie family planning to protect me?"
Xie Mingyuan shook his head, "Let's not talk about whether you can keep it or not. First of all, you are not worth them to come forward to protect you."
Xie Fanghan laughed angrily at these words, with an undisguised mockery on his face, "I'm not worth it? Then who is worth it? Xie Fangcheng or Xie Fangcheng."
Xie Mingyuan didn't answer his words, and continued, "There's nothing wrong with not guaranteeing you, Xie family... It's not bad to get rid of the relationship as soon as possible."
Xie Fanghan's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words, Xie Mingyuan's words didn't sound like angry words, she knew that the Xie family was planning to collude with the enemy and betray the country, hearing Xie Mingyuan's tone, could it be that he also knew?And from what he said, it seemed that he didn't intend to stop it. What role did he play in this?
"Huh?" Xie Mingyuan didn't hear the answer for a long time, and when he looked up, he saw Xie Fanghan staring at him in a daze. He thought his words had scared him, so he asked again, "What's wrong?"
Xie Fanghan came back to his senses, shook his head and didn't say much. Now that the enemy and the enemy are unknown, whether it is true or false, right or wrong, she is not suitable for premature exposure. She glanced at the increasingly unfamiliar street outside , asked casually, "Where are you taking me?"
Xie Mingyuan didn't play tricks this time, and told her the answer straightforwardly, "Go to your grandpa's house."
Xie Fanghan: "..."
? ? ? ?
Did she hallucinate just now? ? ?
Where did Xie Mingyuan say he was going? ? ?
Grandpa? ? ?
If Xie Mingyuan didn't mention it today, she would have forgotten that she still has a grandfather, and when it comes to grandfather...
Xie Fanghan stared at Xie Mingyuan quietly.
"What?" Xie Mingyuan didn't know what to do.
"Did you invite the master who went to the Winter Garden every day to open a small stove for me in the early years?" Xie Fanghan didn't believe that Xie Mingyuan didn't know anything about this matter. There is no way to get her back there, so I sent someone to teach her every day. Now it seems that this idea may not be tenable. First of all, this cheap dad is not as useless as imagined.
Xie Mingyuan shook his head very calmly. Although he denied it, he obviously knew it from his expression.
"It's not me, but I do know this, and even if the old man doesn't arrange someone, I would have hired someone to teach you."
Xie Mingyuan's tone was flat, as if he was talking about other people's affairs, "Thank you for teaching you, I don't worry."
Xie Fanghan raised her eyes, she had other considerations in her heart, since the last time Xie Mingyuan came back, she had a vague feeling that the relationship between him and Xie's family was not particularly good, and there was probably no verbal communication during the New Year's Eve, and this sense of contradiction was still there. It's not particularly obvious, and Dafang's attitude towards him is also a bit strange. Her shrewd and calculating aunt seems to be very afraid of Xie Mingyuan. What kind of festival did these two have before?
Xie Fanghan calculated it in his heart, the more he calculated, the more ugly his face became. No matter how much he knew about the plot behind him, he could only figure out the unexplained story by himself, let alone such a short parent...
"arrive."
Xie Mingyuan didn't give her much time to think, the carriage stopped, Xie Fanghan lifted the curtain, and when he looked up, he saw the three big characters - General's Mansion.
Dayan had many generals and marquises, but the only one who could directly hang the words "General's Mansion" on the plaque was the general guarding Baili. See the feeling of the military compound.
Xie Mingyuan looked at the General's Mansion, his eyes were much gentler, then he looked at Xie Fanghan, and said softly, "Go."
Xie Fanghan looked at the soft light in his eyes, and for the first time saw a little bit of paternal love from this "romantic" man. This kind of Xie Mingyuan made her feel a little strange. Is it because of the General's Mansion, or someone who used to be in the General's Mansion?
Xie Fanghan walked towards the gate calmly step by step. The soldiers guarding the gate looked straight ahead, as if they had no intention of stopping her.
Is the general's mansion so easy to enter?
Before stepping into the gate, Xie Fanghan turned around suddenly. Xie Mingyuan was still standing there. She couldn't see the expression on his face, so he was probably still smiling.
She is such a cheap father, he really loves her mother.
Xie Fanghan walked into the inner mansion along the covered bridge, if she didn't recognize the words on the plaque at the door, she would really wonder if this was a play garden that Xie Mingyuan set up to amuse her.
"coming."
Xie Fanghan was so focused on walking forward that he didn't realize that there was an old man with his trousers rolled up squatting in the rapeseed field beside him.
The old man made a sound, and Xie Fanghan quickly regained consciousness, because she was in someone else's house, and she felt a little embarrassed to walk around so brightly, so she quickly bowed to say hello, "I've seen the old man."
Although he is an old man, he is also an old man in the General's Mansion. If he really said his name, he might also be a famous figure in the previous generation. Xie Fanghan adhered to the setting that "in case you meet a big man at the level of a sweeping monk" when wandering around, Don't dare to be too big at all.
Unlike Xie Fanghan who became cautious in a second, the old man jumped out of the rapeseed field with his legs and feet, patted the soil on his body casually, did not respond, just followed up with a word, and walked towards the inner room.
Xie Fanghan hurriedly followed behind the old man. The old man was not young, his steps were very big, and his chassis was very stable. He looked like a trainer. Xie Fanghan murmured in his heart, looking at this posture, this old man might be her grandfather, but he was worried Cleverness was misunderstood by cleverness, so he walked quietly all the way.
The old man led her into the main house, raised his hand to signal her to stay later, and then walked towards the back room without looking back.
Xie Fanghan sighed in his heart that the people in the General's Mansion have big hearts, and when they come, they just throw them here carelessly, and they are not afraid that the one who comes in is a thief, but after thinking about it, anyone who dares to commit murder in the General's Mansion is probably not yet born. .
The old man didn't make Xie Fanghan wait for too long, and he came back to Xie Fanghan's sight before a cup of tea. The original coarse linen clothes were replaced. The old man's spirit has improved a lot, and I don't know if Xie Fanghan has misread it. The old man's face has also been rearranged, and his face has turned pale for a while.
"Watching tea." The old man greeted the outside, and two maids came in silently with trays. Xie Fanghan saw at a glance that these maids with light steps had learned martial arts, so he had to sigh again in his heart Fortunately, it is the General's Mansion.
The old man didn't speak again, and Xie Fanghan didn't dare to misidentify relatives. The old and the young just kept holding a cup of tea. Xie Fanghan didn't know how to drink tea, but just drank it warmly, so he didn't notice that the old man looked her up and down several times. line of sight.
click.
The teacup on the head seat was put back on the table, and Xie Fanghan put down the teacup in his hand tactfully. This was like a tacit signal that the etiquette was over and it was time to get down to business. .
"Did you cause trouble?" The old man's tone was a little serious. I don't know if it was because of some nervousness. Because of this kind of inconsistency, this word is also very "tactful" to Xie Fanghan's ears.
Xie Fanghan blinked his eyes, pondering over what the old man said, and it has already reached this point, so this old man should be his grandfather Wei Baili.
Xie Fanghan: "Hello, Grandpa."
Wei Baili: "..."
Wei Baili:? ? ?
Wei Baili felt for a moment that he might be a little old, or he might have misremembered what he just asked, but this was the first time his granddaughter called him. Thinking of this, this old man who is nearly seventy years old He still answered dryly.
"Ah."
Xie Fanghan didn't expect the situation in the old man's heart to be so complicated. She thought it was the first time she saw her. Although she was here to avoid a disaster, it was the first time she saw her elders and she had to say hello. Although this grandfather looked serious, but since He answered, so he probably wouldn't ignore her.
Xie Fanghan held the idea that "crying children have candy", and he was not polite, acting like a hardcore coquettish to the old man.
Xie Fanghan: "Grandpa, I have been bullied, and the Xie family will not protect me, so I can only come to you."
Wei Baili:? ? ?
Is it because he hasn't been in contact with the younger generation for a long time, and now the children are so confident when they make trouble?
Wei Baili looked at Xie Fanghan with a complicated face, and couldn't hold on to his serious face before, "Is this how your master taught you?"
The people he selected back then were all able-bodied underlings!
When mentioning Master, Xie Fanghan sat up straight subconsciously, and said solemnly, "Fang Han taught by the masters will never forget it for a day."
Seeing her calmness and righteousness, Wei Baili nodded with dignity, and then choked on Xie Fanghan's next words.
I only heard Xie Fanghan say with a serious face: "But this does not conflict with my complaint."
Wei Baili: "..."
Wei Baili looked at Xie Fanghan with a complicated expression, and after a while, he smiled helplessly and shook his head.
Xie Fanghan saw her grandfather laughing, and she also followed suit. The old man gave her a good feeling. Although she looked fierce, she felt kind inexplicably. Maybe it was because of her blood relationship, and the depression she felt when facing Xie's family. It's different, Wei Baili is like the cup of hot tea in hand, warming her whole body.
Because of this interaction, the grandfather and grandson have shortened the distance a lot. Wei Baili looked at Xie Fanghan with a smile on his face, his eyes were full of memories, "You look like your mother when you smile."
Xie Fanghan was taken aback. She didn't have a deep impression of this mother since she was a child, and she didn't hear much about it from others. Now that she suddenly heard the old man mention it, her first reaction was to see the old man's reaction. After losing her daughter for so many years, she suddenly saw her as a granddaughter again. , It is inevitable to think of the past. It is not a good thing for an elderly person to fluctuate too much.
But when she raised her head and met those vicissitudes and bright eyes, she knew that she had underestimated her grandfather. After all, he was also a general of Zhen Guo, and she had never seen any big storms and waves in her life. Her worries were obviously superfluous.
Wei Baili has never experienced the ups and downs of officialdom in his life. He can clearly see the worry in Xie Fanghan's eyes, and he also knows that she is worried about him, so he is not unhappy.
A middle-aged bereaved daughter, the family is not prosperous, and finally has a granddaughter who cannot see each other for various reasons. Fortunately, God is merciful. He is a person who is about to be buried, and there is still a junior who cares about him.
Thinking of his daughter, Wei Baili lowered his eyes, sighed in his heart, suppressed his emotions silently, and when he raised his head again, he was still the famous general of Zhenguo.
"Tell me, what's going on." Wei Baili asked again.
"It's really not a big deal." Xie Fanghan curled her lips. Since she entered the door of the general's mansion, she was knocking on those people outside who were staring at her. With the general's mansion here, if they want to attack her again, they have to be careful. Weigh it.
Wei Baili looked at the granddaughter who had just entered the door with a look of disgust, and said very bluntly, "It's not a big deal, but can your father send it here for you during the Chinese New Year?"
Xie Fanghan lowered his head and moved his lips, whispering, "I haven't been here during Chinese New Year."
Wei Baili was so annoyed by Xie Fanghan's words that he hummed a few times before continuing, "You still have the nerve to say it? I haven't seen you for so many years, and as soon as I came, I said that I caused trouble, just like your mother!"
Xie Fanghan's eyelids drooped instantly when he heard the words, and he acted out on the spot to become an emoji, and said aggrievedly, "No one has brought me here since I was a child, and no one even told me about it. It's time, but I don't dare to come to the door rashly, if you don't recognize me, then I will really be a joke of Xijing."
Wei Baili glared at the words, stretched his throat and said, "Who said I don't recognize you anymore! Who said that!"
Xie Fanghan didn't say a word, and lowered his head with a wrinkled face, and the word "grievance" was revealed all over his body.
Wei Baili frowned, his expression unpredictable, and he spoke again after a while, "Let's not talk about those things before, I know what kind of temper that bastard Xie Mingyuan has, he sent you here, it's obviously not a small matter, tell me , don’t hide it.”
There were only three things, and the old man had asked him three times. Xie Fanghan couldn't be vague any more, so he described the whole thing from beginning to end.
After Xie Fanghan finished speaking, the room was quiet for a long time. Wei Bai's expressionless expression made it difficult to see what he was thinking. In the end, it was Xie Fanghan who took the initiative to break the silence.
Xie Fanghan: "You also think I did something wrong?"
Wei Baili looked at her, his expression didn't change much, and asked back, "Do you think you are right?"
Xie Fanghan frowned, and said loudly, "What's wrong? Leaving aside the right and wrong, their methods are already contemptible, and my counterattack is also an upright self-protection. When it comes to the matter itself, it is they who acted first. What's wrong with treating people in the same way as others, and hitting them in the face instead?"
Wei Baili's expression was flat, neither belittling nor praising, "For some people, embarrassing them is almost the same as killing them."
Xie Fanghan looked squarely at the old man on the throne and did not back down at all, "I only know that everything has a cause and effect, what kind of cause was planted in the past, what kind of fruit will be reaped in the future, if you want to slap someone in the face, you have to be prepared Prepare for a counterattack."
It was the first time for Wei Baili to see a child of this age talking to him in a serious manner. Should he praise her for not being afraid of tigers as a newborn calf? , shook his head, smiled and changed the subject.
Wei Baili: "The little guy can speak glibly, but would you like to join the army?"
Xie Fanghan understood Wei Baili's meaning within a few breaths. Xijing is a place of right and wrong. It is not bad for her to leave here. The army is also Wei Baili's territory. Although he returned to Xijing, the soldiers under his command But they are still in the army, he was single-handedly promoted.
If it had been before, she might have agreed to Wei Baili's proposal. Let alone a chance to leave Xijing in an open and aboveboard manner, she would only need to find a time to feign death to completely escape from these worldly disturbances. Let the bird fly, she can do whatever she wants, but now...
Xie Fanghan shook his head, and bluntly rejected the proposal, "I don't want to go."
Wei Baili's expression darkened when he heard this, and he said bluntly, "Why? Are you afraid of death?"
Xie Fanghan shook his head, his tone was soft, "It has nothing to do with these."
Wei Baili persisted: "Why is that?"
Xie Fanghan's eyes were bright, like a sharp sword out of its scabbard, "You arranged for me to join the army, I must go to the Zhenbei Army,"
Wei Baili's eyes were burning and he didn't answer, he was from Zhenbei Army, Xie Fanghan said it was nothing.
Xie Fanghan continued: "Dai Yue has nothing on the bright side these years, but he keeps making small moves behind his back. His ambitions are becoming more and more full like the grass in their grassland. If it is a good year, it will be fine, but if it is a disaster year, the harvest on the grassland will not be good. , then they are bound to rush at us with their knives. It is not what we want to see if we sacrifice our lives to feed the wolves or wait for the wolves to take the initiative to bite. Therefore, we have the Zhenbei Army stationed in the north, but as time goes by, The wolves in the north are getting stronger and stronger, but this knife used to slaughter wolves has rusted..."
"Nonsense!" Wei Baili slapped the table heavily and interrupted Xie Fanghan's words. The Zhenbei Army is his direct descendant. Xie Fanghan's words were clearly slapping him in the face. Fortunately, Xie Fanghan said these words. One person said in front of him that if he didn't draw his sword and cut people down, he would be sorry for his title of general of the town.
Xie Fanghan, who touched the tiger's beard, said that he was not afraid at all, not only not afraid, but also dared to continue to touch the beard.
Xie Fanghan: "Don't be angry, listen to me first. The Zhenbei Army in your hands is naturally not like this, but you have retreated from the front for nearly fifteen years, and the Zhenbei Army is no longer the Zhenbei Army you used to be. Well, the princes are forming cliques in the court for the throne, how can the army be spared, I know that your subordinates are all loyal and patriotic people, but after all, after so long, even if they are still the same, how can you Make sure the other cores are not broken."
Wei Baili's eyes were deep, and he didn't talk to him. Xie Fanghan didn't seem to understand the atmosphere, and didn't give the old man a chance to react. He continued, "I don't believe you don't know anything about this. You asked me to go to Zhenbei Army I understand his thoughts, but I don't have any grand plans, I just want to live a mediocre life, take a step back and say, if there is such a day that I need to go to the battlefield, then I also hope that I will go for the people of Dayan, not Become a victim of taking over the heirloom."
Wei Baili took a deep look at her, Xie Fanghan had an honest face, he looked very kind, and he was not afraid of Wei Baili's gaze. After a while, she actually added, "Dayan's current Princes, I don't like any of them."
Wei Baili: "..."
Well, his granddaughter not only hates him, but also the royal family. I really don't know whether to say she is sincere or reckless.
After all, Wei Baili has a wide range of knowledge, and he didn't even have a serious word about Yue Xie Fanghan's "big rebellion".
"You come with me."
Xie Fanghan originally thought that the old man was going to beat him up, but Wei Baili got up without saying anything. Xie Fanghan didn't dare to push him, so he quickly got up and followed.
The General's Mansion has been around for a few years, and the old man is not good at luxury, so the courtyard has some quaint charm. Wei Baili took her into a bedroom, Xie Fanghan glanced around, it looked like a woman's boudoir.
Wei Baili went straight to the dressing table, raised his hand and opened the jewelry box on it, but what he took out was not jewelry, but a piece of exquisitely polished jade.
The jade was clean and thorough, even Xie Fanghan, as a layman, could see how precious the jade was. Wei Baili pursed his lips and stroked the jade in his hand, and looked at Xie Fanghan after a moment of consideration.
Wei Baili: "I heard that you like the fifth princess?"
Xie Fanghan nodded, and replied without the slightest hesitation: "Yes."
Wei Baili frowned deeply, but in the end he didn't say anything, not only didn't say anything, he handed the jade in his hand to Xie Fanghan.
Xie Fanghan took it and looked at Wei Baili puzzled.
Wei Baili sighed as if resigned to his fate, and then said, "This jade is a token for ordering your mother's hidden guards. This piece will be returned to you, and the other piece is in the hands of Concubine Shu in the palace."
Concubine Shu...
Concubine Shu? ? ? ? ? ?
Xie Fanghan felt that she might have discovered something serious, such as why her mother, a young lady in the general's mansion, had a group of hidden guards under her, or why the other piece was in the hands of Concubine Shu... But before she thinks about it, Wei Baili Another token was drawn from the drawer of the dresser.
???
Is this the treasure bag of Doraemon?
Also, what is the habit of stuffing such important items on the dressing table?
Wei Baili didn't know that his granddaughter was complaining about her, so he handed over the token in his hand. Xie Fanghan accepted it with a complicated face, and Wei Baili continued to introduce, "This is your mother's pre-run bank, and I will also hand it over to you today. is you."
Xie Fanghan: "..."
difficult to handle.
This is too difficult.
What trend is this?Do you distribute newbie gift packs?Or the deluxe version?It's the hidden guards and the money, and another army can start rebelling against the dungeon.
Xie Fanghan originally thought about it casually along the lines of the novel, but when he thought of it, he immediately thought of the identity of Wei Baili, the general of the town. Not only did he shudder, but the doubts in his heart also deepened. What exactly was her mother going to do back then? ...
After handing over the two tokens, Wei Baili didn't say anything more, leaving a sentence of "I'll do it for myself" and planned to leave.
"Grandpa!" Xie Fanghan subconsciously called to stop the old man who was about to leave, looked at his slightly hunched back, hesitated for a moment, and said solemnly, "The current royal family of Dayan has been destroyed from the root, and it cannot be saved. Are you Dayan’s generals are not the generals of the royal family. What you want to protect are the thousands of people of Dayan, not the incompetent children of the royal family. We can’t say for sure what will happen to the world in the future, but I can agree You, if one day the world is in chaos and wars break out everywhere, I will do my best to protect Dayan's people and not fall into the name of loyalty of the Wei family."
Wei Baili stopped in place for a long time, and left Wei Xun's boudoir without saying a word.
The author has something to say:
Don't ask me why I have 6000 words, it's because I forgot to post what I wrote before, so I couldn't write another chapter at all.
Happy New Year, who is late, stay safe and stay away from going out.
"You also have eyeliner in the palace?" Xie Fanghan asked casually.
"Yes." Xie Mingyuan answered frankly, without hiding anything.
"..." Xie Fanghan glanced at him, and complained unceremoniously, "You really have a big heart."
Xie Mingyuan laughed "haha" twice, and didn't care about Xie Fanghan's ridicule. After the laughter, the carriage returned to silence. Xie Mingyuan looked at the man on the other side who was in a trance, and suddenly said, "You can't go back to Xie's house."
Xie Fanghan raised his head and silently looked at Xie Mingyuan, without making a sound, but his eyes were filled with puzzlement and surprise.
Xie Mingyuan suddenly met Xie Fanghan's eyes, and the words that were on the verge of his mouth suddenly closed, and he continued to speak after a brief loss of consciousness, "You have made a lot of limelight this time, let's not talk about those princes, those sons of the Junhou Mansion are afraid I can't swallow this breath yet."
Xie Fanghan immediately understood what he meant, and asked nonchalantly, "Is the Xie family planning to protect me?"
Xie Mingyuan shook his head, "Let's not talk about whether you can keep it or not. First of all, you are not worth them to come forward to protect you."
Xie Fanghan laughed angrily at these words, with an undisguised mockery on his face, "I'm not worth it? Then who is worth it? Xie Fangcheng or Xie Fangcheng."
Xie Mingyuan didn't answer his words, and continued, "There's nothing wrong with not guaranteeing you, Xie family... It's not bad to get rid of the relationship as soon as possible."

The old man didn't speak again, and Xie Fanghan didn't dare to misidentify relatives. The old and the young just kept holding a cup of tea. Xie Fanghan didn't know how to drink tea, but just drank it warmly, so he didn't notice that the old man looked her up and down several times. line of sight.
click.
The teacup on the head seat was put back on the table, and Xie Fanghan put down the teacup in his hand tactfully. This was like a tacit signal that the etiquette was over and it was time to get down to business. .
"Did you cause trouble?" The old man's tone was a little serious. I don't know if it was because of some nervousness. Because of this kind of inconsistency, this word is also very "tactful" to Xie Fanghan's ears.
Xie Fanghan blinked his eyes, pondering over what the old man said, and it has already reached this point, so this old man should be his grandfather Wei Baili.
Xie Fanghan: "Hello, Grandpa."
Wei Baili: "..."
Wei Baili:? ? ?
Wei Baili felt for a moment that he might be a little old, or he might have misremembered what he just asked, but this was the first time his granddaughter called him. Thinking of this, this old man who is nearly seventy years old He still answered dryly.
"Ah."
Xie Fanghan didn't expect the situation in the old man's heart to be so complicated. She thought it was the first time she saw her. Although she was here to avoid a disaster, it was the first time she saw her elders and she had to say hello. Although this grandfather looked serious, but since He answered, so he probably wouldn't ignore her.
Xie Fanghan held the idea that "crying children have candy", and he was not polite, acting like a hardcore coquettish to the old man.
Xie Fanghan: "Grandpa, I have been bullied, and the Xie family will not protect me, so I can only come to you."
Wei Baili:? ? ?
Is it because he hasn't been in contact with the younger generation for a long time, and now the children are so confident when they make trouble?
Wei Baili looked at Xie Fanghan with a complicated face, and couldn't hold on to his serious face before, "Is this how your master taught you?"
The people he selected back then were all able-bodied underlings!
When mentioning Master, Xie Fanghan sat up straight subconsciously, and said solemnly, "Fang Han taught by the masters will never forget it for a day."
Seeing her calmness and righteousness, Wei Baili nodded with dignity, and then choked on Xie Fanghan's next words.
I only heard Xie Fanghan say with a serious face: "But this does not conflict with my complaint."
Wei Baili: "..."
Wei Baili looked at Xie Fanghan with a complicated expression, and after a while, he smiled helplessly and shook his head.
Xie Fanghan saw her grandfather laughing, and she also followed suit. The old man gave her a good feeling. Although she looked fierce, she felt kind inexplicably. Maybe it was because of her blood relationship, and the depression she felt when facing Xie's family. It's different, Wei Baili is like the cup of hot tea in hand, warming her whole body.
Because of this interaction, the grandfather and grandson have shortened the distance a lot. Wei Baili looked at Xie Fanghan with a smile on his face, his eyes were full of memories, "You look like your mother when you smile."
Xie Fanghan was taken aback. She didn't have a deep impression of this mother since she was a child, and she didn't hear much about it from others. Now that she suddenly heard the old man mention it, her first reaction was to see the old man's reaction. After losing her daughter for so many years, she suddenly saw her as a granddaughter again. , It is inevitable to think of the past. It is not a good thing for an elderly person to fluctuate too much.
But when she raised her head and met those vicissitudes and bright eyes, she knew that she had underestimated her grandfather. After all, he was also a general of Zhen Guo, and she had never seen any big storms and waves in her life. Her worries were obviously superfluous.
Wei Baili has never experienced the ups and downs of officialdom in his life. He can clearly see the worry in Xie Fanghan's eyes, and he also knows that she is worried about him, so he is not unhappy.
A middle-aged bereaved daughter, the family is not prosperous, and finally has a granddaughter who cannot see each other for various reasons. Fortunately, God is merciful. He is a person who is about to be buried, and there is still a junior who cares about him.
Thinking of his daughter, Wei Baili lowered his eyes, sighed in his heart, suppressed his emotions silently, and when he raised his head again, he was still the famous general of Zhenguo.
"Tell me, what's going on." Wei Baili asked again.
"It's really not a big deal." Xie Fanghan curled her lips. Since she entered the door of the general's mansion, she was knocking on those people outside who were staring at her. With the general's mansion here, if they want to attack her again, they have to be careful. Weigh it.
Wei Baili looked at the granddaughter who had just entered the door with a look of disgust, and said very bluntly, "It's not a big deal, but can your father send it here for you during the Chinese New Year?"
Xie Fanghan lowered his head and moved his lips, whispering, "I haven't been here during Chinese New Year."
Wei Baili was so annoyed by Xie Fanghan's words that he hummed a few times before continuing, "You still have the nerve to say it? I haven't seen you for so many years, and as soon as I came, I said that I caused trouble, just like your mother!"
Xie Fanghan's eyelids drooped instantly when he heard the words, and he acted out on the spot to become an emoji, and said aggrievedly, "No one has brought me here since I was a child, and no one even told me about it. It's time, but I don't dare to come to the door rashly, if you don't recognize me, then I will really be a joke of Xijing."
Wei Baili glared at the words, stretched his throat and said, "Who said I don't recognize you anymore! Who said that!"
Xie Fanghan didn't say a word, and lowered his head with a wrinkled face, and the word "grievance" was revealed all over his body.
Wei Baili frowned, his expression unpredictable, and he spoke again after a while, "Let's not talk about those things before, I know what kind of temper that bastard Xie Mingyuan has, he sent you here, it's obviously not a small matter, tell me , don’t hide it.”
There were only three things, and the old man had asked him three times. Xie Fanghan couldn't be vague any more, so he described the whole thing from beginning to end.
After Xie Fanghan finished speaking, the room was quiet for a long time. Wei Bai's expressionless expression made it difficult to see what he was thinking. In the end, it was Xie Fanghan who took the initiative to break the silence.
Xie Fanghan: "You also think I did something wrong?"
Wei Baili looked at her, his expression didn't change much, and asked back, "Do you think you are right?"
Xie Fanghan frowned, and said loudly, "What's wrong? Leaving aside the right and wrong, their methods are already contemptible, and my counterattack is also an upright self-protection. When it comes to the matter itself, it is they who acted first. What's wrong with treating people in the same way as others, and hitting them in the face instead?"
Wei Baili's expression was flat, neither belittling nor praising, "For some people, embarrassing them is almost the same as killing them."
Xie Fanghan looked squarely at the old man on the throne and did not back down at all, "I only know that everything has a cause and effect, what kind of cause was planted in the past, what kind of fruit will be reaped in the future, if you want to slap someone in the face, you have to be prepared Prepare for a counterattack."
It was the first time for Wei Baili to see a child of this age talking to him in a serious manner. Should he praise her for not being afraid of tigers as a newborn calf? , shook his head, smiled and changed the subject.
Wei Baili: "The little guy can speak glibly, but would you like to join the army?"
Xie Fanghan understood Wei Baili's meaning within a few breaths. Xijing is a place of right and wrong. It is not bad for her to leave here. The army is also Wei Baili's territory. Although he returned to Xijing, the soldiers under his command But they are still in the army, he was single-handedly promoted.
If it had been before, she might have agreed to Wei Baili's proposal. Let alone a chance to leave Xijing in an open and aboveboard manner, she would only need to find a time to feign death to completely escape from these worldly disturbances. Let the bird fly, she can do whatever she wants, but now...
Xie Fanghan shook his head, and bluntly rejected the proposal, "I don't want to go."
Wei Baili's expression darkened when he heard this, and he said bluntly, "Why? Are you afraid of death?"
Xie Fanghan shook his head, his tone was soft, "It has nothing to do with these."
Wei Baili persisted: "Why is that?"
Xie Fanghan's eyes were bright, like a sharp sword out of its scabbard, "You arranged for me to join the army, I must go to the Zhenbei Army,"
Wei Baili's eyes were burning and he didn't answer, he was from Zhenbei Army, Xie Fanghan said it was nothing.
Xie Fanghan continued: "Dai Yue has nothing on the bright side these years, but he keeps making small moves behind his back. His ambitions are becoming more and more full like the grass in their grassland. If it is a good year, it will be fine, but if it is a disaster year, the harvest on the grassland will not be good. , then they are bound to rush at us with their knives. It is not what we want to see if we sacrifice our lives to feed the wolves or wait for the wolves to take the initiative to bite. Therefore, we have the Zhenbei Army stationed in the north, but as time goes by, The wolves in the north are getting stronger and stronger, but this knife used to slaughter wolves has rusted..."
"Nonsense!" Wei Baili slapped the table heavily and interrupted Xie Fanghan's words. The Zhenbei Army is his direct descendant. Xie Fanghan's words were clearly slapping him in the face. Fortunately, Xie Fanghan said these words. One person said in front of him that if he didn't draw his sword and cut people down, he would be sorry for his title of general of the town.
Xie Fanghan, who touched the tiger's beard, said that he was not afraid at all, not only not afraid, but also dared to continue to touch the beard.
Xie Fanghan: "Don't be angry, listen to me first. The Zhenbei Army in your hands is naturally not like this, but you have retreated from the front for nearly fifteen years, and the Zhenbei Army is no longer the Zhenbei Army you used to be. Well, the princes are forming cliques in the court for the throne, how can the army be spared, I know that your subordinates are all loyal and patriotic people, but after all, after so long, even if they are still the same, how can you Make sure the other cores are not broken."
Wei Baili's eyes were deep, and he didn't talk to him. Xie Fanghan didn't seem to understand the atmosphere, and didn't give the old man a chance to react. He continued, "I don't believe you don't know anything about this. You asked me to go to Zhenbei Army I understand his thoughts, but I don't have any grand plans, I just want to live a mediocre life, take a step back and say, if there is such a day that I need to go to the battlefield, then I also hope that I will go for the people of Dayan, not Become a victim of taking over the heirloom."
Wei Baili took a deep look at her, Xie Fanghan had an honest face, he looked very kind, and he was not afraid of Wei Baili's gaze. After a while, she actually added, "Dayan's current Princes, I don't like any of them."
Wei Baili: "..."
Well, his granddaughter not only hates him, but also the royal family. I really don't know whether to say she is sincere or reckless.
After all, Wei Baili has a wide range of knowledge, and he didn't even have a serious word about Yue Xie Fanghan's "big rebellion".
"You come with me."
Xie Fanghan originally thought that the old man was going to beat him up, but Wei Baili got up without saying anything. Xie Fanghan didn't dare to push him, so he quickly got up and followed.
The General's Mansion has been around for a few years, and the old man is not good at luxury, so the courtyard has some quaint charm. Wei Baili took her into a bedroom, Xie Fanghan glanced around, it looked like a woman's boudoir.
Wei Baili went straight to the dressing table, raised his hand and opened the jewelry box on it, but what he took out was not jewelry, but a piece of exquisitely polished jade.
The jade was clean and thorough, even Xie Fanghan, as a layman, could see how precious the jade was. Wei Baili pursed his lips and stroked the jade in his hand, and looked at Xie Fanghan after a moment of consideration.
Wei Baili: "I heard that you like the fifth princess?"
Xie Fanghan nodded, and replied without the slightest hesitation: "Yes."
Wei Baili frowned deeply, but in the end he didn't say anything, not only didn't say anything, he handed the jade in his hand to Xie Fanghan.
Xie Fanghan took it and looked at Wei Baili puzzled.
Wei Baili sighed as if resigned to his fate, and then said, "This jade is a token for ordering your mother's hidden guards. This piece will be returned to you, and the other piece is in the hands of Concubine Shu in the palace."
Concubine Shu...
Concubine Shu? ? ? ? ? ?
Xie Fanghan felt that she might have discovered something serious, such as why her mother, a young lady in the general's mansion, had a group of hidden guards under her, or why the other piece was in the hands of Concubine Shu... But before she thinks about it, Wei Baili Another token was drawn from the drawer of the dresser.
???
Is this the treasure bag of Doraemon?
Also, what is the habit of stuffing such important items on the dressing table?
Wei Baili didn't know that his granddaughter was complaining about her, so he handed over the token in his hand. Xie Fanghan accepted it with a complicated face, and Wei Baili continued to introduce, "This is your mother's pre-run bank, and I will also hand it over to you today. is you."
Xie Fanghan: "..."
difficult to handle.
This is too difficult.
What trend is this?Do you distribute newbie gift packs?Or the deluxe version?It's the hidden guards and the money, and another army can start rebelling against the dungeon.
Xie Fanghan originally thought about it casually along the lines of the novel, but when he thought of it, he immediately thought of the identity of Wei Baili, the general of the town. Not only did he shudder, but the doubts in his heart also deepened. What exactly was her mother going to do back then? ...
After handing over the two tokens, Wei Baili didn't say anything more, leaving a sentence of "I'll do it for myself" and planned to leave.
"Grandpa!" Xie Fanghan subconsciously called to stop the old man who was about to leave, looked at his slightly hunched back, hesitated for a moment, and said solemnly, "The current royal family of Dayan has been destroyed from the root, and it cannot be saved. Are you Dayan’s generals are not the generals of the royal family. What you want to protect are the thousands of people of Dayan, not the incompetent children of the royal family. We can’t say for sure what will happen to the world in the future, but I can agree You, if one day the world is in chaos and wars break out everywhere, I will do my best to protect Dayan's people and not fall into the name of loyalty of the Wei family."
Wei Baili stopped in place for a long time, and left Wei Xun's boudoir without saying a word.
The author has something to say:
Don't ask me why I have 6000 words, it's because I forgot to post what I wrote before, so I couldn't write another chapter at all.
Happy New Year, who is late, stay safe and stay away from going out.
