Princess Changle didn't know that her thoughts had been revealed by the maid beside her. She lowered her eyes. Her beautiful face was calm and dignified, as if the person outside the car was really just a courtier escorting her to the Taoist temple to pray...
The carriage slowly picked up speed, and the road was a little bumpy after the rain. In addition, the carriage was not moving at the same speed, making people feel dizzy while sitting in the carriage.
Fang Jun wondered if the carriage was too reckless. The road conditions drove the carriage so fast. If he turned around, he would be fired by Princess Changle.
Among the sparse trees in the distance, the walls and cornices of the Taoist temple can be vaguely seen. However, the mountain road is twists and turns, and there is still a long way to go before the horse can reach the mountain. Fang Jun couldn't help but raised his voice and said: "Then
Coachman, please slow down and drive carefully to His Highness."
The coachman thought that you two were really interesting, one asked to go faster and the other slower...
He knew Fang Jun's power, and even though he complained in his heart, he did not dare to neglect, and quickly slowed down the speed of the car, which became more stable.
Fang Jun rode outside the car and said loudly: "This road is really difficult to walk. After some time, Weichen asked officials from the Ministry of Works to come and measure it, dig out the roadbed, rebuild it, and pave it with cement.
, Your Highness can travel more easily."
In the carriage, Princess Changle listened to Fang Jun's words, pursed her lips, and did not respond.
Fang Jun felt bored and stopped talking. He followed the carriage silently, thinking about heading to the Taoist temple in the mountains.
More than half an hour later, the motorcade arrived outside the gate of Taoist Temple. Fang Jun got off his horse, came to the carriage, and reached out to open the door.
The soldiers did not need to be ordered, they had already dispersed in various directions, each occupying favorable terrain to watch, guard, and control this small Taoist temple.
Princess Changle supported the maid's hand and got off the carriage. When she saw this scene, she couldn't help frowning and said worriedly: "You are really willful. You know that there are dangers everywhere, but you still come to this deep mountain and old forest.
, what will happen if someone embroiders it?"
She was naturally aware of the arrogance and wanton behavior of the Guanlong nobles. Because of this, she was somewhat dissatisfied with Fang Jun's rash behavior.
If it is around Chang'an City, the Guanlong nobles will have to be more cautious. After all, the father is in charge of Chang'an. If anyone dares to gather troops to do evil, it will be a serious crime of rebellion. No one can afford it, but there is no organized one.
The army launched a strong attack, but it was impossible to defeat Fang Jun's personal troops.
However, Zhongnan Mountain is high in the mountains and densely forested, and rarely visited. If the thieves learn of the traces and launch a brigade of fierce soldiers to attack, Fang Jun may not be able to withstand it...
Fang Jun threw the riding whip in his hand to the soldiers, looked up at the surrounding mountains, and saw that the sky was like black and the green mountains were like washing. His heart suddenly felt comfortable and wide, and he smiled and said: "Your Highness must have never caught a snake, right?"
Princess Changle walked into the mountain gate slowly. When she heard this, Xiumei frowned slightly and said angrily: "Those things are so disgusting, why do I want to catch them?"
Fang Jun followed suit behind him, admiring the graceful rhythm of the beautiful lady in front of him as she walked, and said slowly: "A snake is in its nest. Once frightened, it will not come out. If you reach into the hole to catch it, it will bite you."
If the last bite is from a poisonous snake, your life will be in danger. In the country of Tianzhu south of Tubo, there is a kind of people who are good at catching snakes. They don't need to dig a snake hole, they just need to play the flute outside the hole, and the snake will be lured out of the hole obediently.
, throw yourself into a trap. It can be seen that nothing is difficult or easy, it just depends on whether you can find the right method."
Princess Changle paused and turned around suddenly.
As Fang Jun was walking forward, Leng Buding found that Princess Changle in front of him had stopped and turned around. He almost pretended to be there, triggering a "bloody" plot... Fortunately, he was in good health and stopped in time, so he didn't.
Install it all at once.
But Princess Changle's beautiful eyes widened and she bit her lip and asked, "Do you want to lure the snake out of its hole?"
Fang Jun unscrupulously admired the unparalleled beauty in front of him, and chuckled: "Snakes always lie in the holes, and come out to bite people all of a sudden. It's really annoying. So the best way is to let it go on its own.
When you get out of the hole, there happens to be a snake catcher here. Wouldn't catching him in a net eliminate future troubles forever?",
Princess Changle's face turned pale and she said angrily: "That's nonsense! Do you know that once you make a mistake, you will be doomed?"
It is certainly a good idea to lure a snake out of its hole, but once you make a mistake and are bitten by a poisonous snake, there is no way to save yourself.
Even if the snake catcher is still in Chang'an, he can eventually catch the snake, but what's the use?
She was not worried about herself. With her status and importance in her father's heart, even those poisonous snakes would not dare to touch her hair even if they were stunned.
Fang Jun looked up at the sky and said relaxedly: "Your Highness, don't worry. In the mountains and ravines near the Taoist temple, there are already more than a thousand soldiers of the Youtun Guard ambushed. They are all good lurkers. As long as anyone approaches, they will be unable to fly."
."
Princess Changle paused and said angrily: "Are I afraid that they will run away? I am worried that you may be careless and have any accidents..."
"Ha! So His Highness is so worried about Wei Chen? Wei Chen is so grateful that his life is not in vain!"
Fang Jun laughed softly.
Princess Changle's pretty face was dyed red, she glared at this guy angrily, gritted her teeth and said: "Don't be playful with me, who is worried about you? I don't care whether you live or die!"
After saying that, he twisted his slender waist and stepped into the alchemy room in a small courtyard on the east side.
Fang Jun didn't take it seriously and followed him in.
The alchemy room is small, with windows on both sides. The north side is connected to a section of wall in front of the main hall. The windows on the east and south sides are open. The drizzle outside has not stopped, and the rainwater on the roof flows down along the tiles.
The drops fell on the bluestone under the window sill, making a pitter-pattering sound.
The moist and cold air blew in, and a small charcoal stove was placed on the coffee table. The charcoal fire in the stove was burning. A pot of water was placed on the stove, and white steam was coming out.
The maid walked over briskly, lifted the kettle, and made a pot of tea with her hands and feet quickly, and then said: "I will go to the kitchen now and instruct the cook to prepare a table of vegetarian dishes."
After that, he bowed and exited.
She had heard Fang Jun's words about coming to eat vegetarian food before. Since His Highness did not refuse, but instead brought Fang Jun to the Taoist temple, the meaning was obvious...
There were only two people left in the alchemy room.
When he arrived at the coffee table and sat down on the floor facing each other, listening to the drizzle outside the window, tasting the fragrance of hot tea, and looking at the beautiful woman, Fang Jun just felt that the years were quiet and peaceful. He only wished that time would stop at this moment and never last forever.
forward.
A man and a woman are alone in the same room. Although their words and deeds are only half the distance apart, Princess Changle, who has always been dignified and rigorous, still feels uncomfortable all over, especially when the man's bright eyes are barely concealed on her face.
Glancing at it made her heart beat faster and even her ears felt warm...
Raising her bare hand to pour a cup of tea for Fang Jun, Princess Changle complained softly: "Why do you always take risks? Zhao Guogong has tried to kill you again and again, and now that you have humiliated him, he hates you even more and starts to attack you.
You will leave no room, regardless of gains and losses, and even disregard the consequences. If you stay in Chang'an City and make Zhao Guogong worry, you can still be safe anyway. Why do you have to go to this deep mountain and old forest to give him an opportunity?
No matter how strict the deployment is, there will inevitably be some omissions. What if...it is really stupid! My father is now very tolerant of the current situation in the court. Everything is just for the smooth progress of the Eastern Expedition. After the Eastern Expedition, my father will be free.
I will definitely clean up the court, so you will be aggrieved for a few days, can't you wait a little longer?"
She also knew that she shouldn't show her concern for Fang Jun so obviously, but the worry and anxiety in her heart couldn't be resolved, and she couldn't care much. She just hoped to persuade him to pay attention to it and not expose herself like this.
Under the opponent's blade and arrows.
Fang Jun took a sip of tea.
Of course he understood that what Princess Changle said was the truth. Even if he was confident that he would be safe from Zhao Guogong's killing move, there was still some risk. After all, there were no absolutes in this world.
However……
He sighed softly and said: "His Highness's concern is deeply felt by Wei Chen. Wei Chen naturally knows the principle of forbearance, but the problem is that Wei Chen always feels that the threat from the Guanlong nobles is too great. After His Majesty's Eastern Expedition, he freed up his hands.
Of course it's better, but what if these people don't wait until the end of His Majesty's Eastern Expedition, and then brazenly stir up trouble?"
Princess Changle's beauty turned pale and she lost her voice: "You said they want to rebel?"
Fang Jun shook his head: "Conspiracy may not be possible. With your majesty's prestige and command of a million troops, what will happen even if the villains take advantage of the situation and capture Chang'an? When your majesty returns to Guanzhong, any thieves will be like chickens."
The Wagou collapsed instantly. The ministers were afraid that they would murder the prince..."
