Chai Zhewei glared at Fang Jun who was smiling on the horse, wishing he could fly up with his wings, then throw the guy to the ground and bite him hard.
Although the two are of the same generation, they are almost ten years apart in age, and they usually play in different circles. Logically speaking, Chai Zhewei is more like a senior. Facing the provocation of Fang Jun, the "little brother", he only felt a burning pain in his face.
, ashamed and angry.
Fang Xuanling has been as gentle as jade all his life, with gentle breeze and drizzle. How did he give birth to such a stick?
At this time, there was another sound of horse hoofbeats in the distance. When we got closer, we realized that it was the soldiers from the patrol camp of Youtun Guard who heard the movement and sent people to patrol.
Chai Zhewei saw that the more people gathered together, the more trouble he would make. This incident would only make him more embarrassed.
Taking a deep breath to control his furious emotions, Chai Zhewei gritted his teeth and nodded: "Not all the responsibility for what happened today lies with the Duke of Yue. I, too, have done something inappropriate. Let's just let it go. I will never pursue any further investigation afterwards."
In fact, it was not that Fang Jun was afraid that he would pursue the matter later, but that he was afraid that Fang Jun would open his mouth and spread the word about it everywhere.
The dignified duke Qiao, the general of Zuotunwei, was regarded as a "thief" and almost had to be rubbed in the mud. How could he lose face if it was spread?
In any case, today he fell into a pit and lost face for a while, so he accepted his defeat and could not escalate the situation.
Fang Jun laughed loudly, reined in his horse, flicked the whip in his hand, and said to the soldiers around him: "Okay, a bunch of blind birds, even Duke Qiao couldn't recognize it, so he thought it was intentional."
You unscrupulous thieves, are you embarrassed this time? Come back to my camp as soon as possible. Who dares to stay up late at night and come out to mess around? I will break your legs one by one!"
He left with his soldiers.
The rain kept falling, and Chai Zhewei's mood was not so harmonious...
Listening to Fang Jun's last insinuations, Chai Zhewei's teeth chattered and he cursed at the soldiers around him: "Are you all so stupid? Seeing me being humiliated by that guy, you two are just standing there stupidly.
, I can raise a dog better than you!"
The soldiers were trembling with fear, lowering their heads and not daring to speak, but they may not be convinced in their hearts.
Just now, people have already set their bows and arrows. Who knows if the stick will seriously order the arrows to be released? We are a little timid, but it is also for your safety, Commander-in-Chief. We are loyal to protect the Lord, but you compare us to dogs
…
However, no one dared to speak after seeing his handsome man with bulging veins.
Chai Zhewei got angry, but he also knew in his heart that it was really no wonder these soldiers were fighting against their foreheads with their strong bows. What else could they do besides being captured without mercy?
"snort!"
He snorted angrily and showed his toughness to his soldiers, as if the humiliation he suffered earlier was really a last resort. Then he turned around and walked back to the military camp angrily, not even riding his war horse...
Back in the camp, the soldiers had already prepared hot water. Chai Zhewei took off his clothes and washed them randomly in a wooden bucket. He changed into a set of clean clothes, sat in the tent and drank half a pot of warm tea.
Only then did he exhale a long breath, and the depression in his chest and abdomen was slightly relieved.
Army Lieutenant Commander Shi You Wenzhi walked in from outside. After entering, he took off his raincoat, shook the rainwater and put it on the ground beside the door. Then he walked up to Chai Zhewei, saluted and asked, "The commander was outside the camp gate just now.
What happened?"
Chai Zhewei's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, but he relied on You Wenzhi as a confidant and trusted him very much. He would not hide anything, so he told the story of his humiliation by Fang Jun.
You Wenzhi couldn't help but secretly sighed.
This marshal of ours and Fang Jun have a sworn rivalry. Whenever there is a chance, they will skin each other and put him to death.
But this happened to fit his plan...
He frowned and said angrily: "This is too much! Even if it gets darker and the commander has announced his home, wouldn't he step forward and check carefully? He will disarm the commander's soldiers without saying a word.
He also wants to take the commander back for torture and interrogation. This is simply a deliberate attempt to humiliate the commander!"
Chai Zhewei's anger, which had calmed down a bit since then, boiled up again. He threw the tea cup to the ground and cursed: "Fang Er and I are not the same!"
He was really embarrassed today. In the past, Duke Qiao was graceful and handsome. He was also a well-known figure in the circle of ladies and had countless admirers. How had he ever encountered such an embarrassing situation? What if?
Today's news came out, and I don't know how many people were disappointed with him.
Especially the continuous defeat at the hands of Fang Jun was even more difficult for the arrogant Chai Zhewei to accept...
You Wenzhi called a soldier to clean up the broken teacup fragments on the ground. However, when he was opposite Chai Zhewei, he said worriedly: "The hatred between the commander-in-chief and Fang Jun can no longer be alleviated. Even if the commander-in-chief has a broad mind, Fang Junyi can't.
Furthermore, targeting the commander-in-chief again and again, it is obvious that he is also very worried about the commander-in-chief's status. It is better now, after all, your majesty is reasonable and fair in dealing with things, but in the future when the prince ascends the throne... it will be really worrying."
Chai Zhewei held his breath in depression, not knowing what to say.
He didn't know how he offended Fang Jun. Could it be that he was equated with the assassin just because that guy had seen him before he was assassinated in Furong Garden?
Not to mention the truth of the matter, in the absence of evidence, this is obviously somewhat arbitrary.
But Fang Jun is so unreasonable sometimes. Otherwise, how could he have forced a highly respected scholar like Linghu Defen to bang his head against a pillar in the Golden Palace, knocking him unconscious before he could step down? Not to mention life and death with the Changsun family.
The grudge...
As You Wenzhi said, when the prince ascends the throne in the future, Fang Jun, as a minister beside the prince, will surely rise and become the prime minister. It is not impossible that he will be suppressed by the other party.
Especially since Fang Jun is ten years younger than himself, he must have been in charge of the center for a very long time. When will his hard days end...
You Wenzhi looked at Chai Zhewei's ever-changing expression and said tentatively: "Now the prince's family has a deep prejudice against the commander-in-chief. Although your majesty is in his prime, that day will come sooner or later. Whether it is for the commander-in-chief's own future.
, or the future of the entire Duke of Qiao, why not give yourself a way out as soon as possible? Everything will be done if you are prepared, and if you are not prepared, it will be ruined, so you should plan early."
These words made Chai Zhewei's heart skip a beat. He looked up at You Wenzhi with a faint look in his eyes and asked, "What do you mean by this?"
You Wenzhi said nothing, but his attitude was obvious.
Isn't there a so-called escape route right in front of you? Your Highness, Prince Jing, is a Corporal of Li Xian who keeps trying to win over you...
Chai Zhewei was a little moved at first, but then he shook his head and said: "No, King Jing has great prestige and great influence within the clan, but he has no military power in his hands and no help from the court, so he can't accomplish anything."
You Wenzhi whispered: "Commander, this is a bit taken for granted. Except for Fang Jun, Ma Zhou and a few other people in the court, which one of them was not selected by Emperor Gaozu? Although I am loyal to His Majesty now, who knows?
How many people are dissatisfied with Your Majesty? As for military power, Marshal, you have a military guard in your hands..."
The implication is that it is precisely because King Jing has no military power that you can ask for high prices. As long as you join him, you will definitely occupy a place.
It is precisely because King Jing lacks military power that you become more important!
Chai Zhewei's heart was pounding, and he was a little excited, but mostly timid.
Chai Zhewei is different from any other prince. Whether he is the King of Jin or the King of Wei, even if he is the King of Qi or the King of Shu, if he wants to compete for the throne, it is a battle for the throne, and it is your Majesty’s own family matter. As a minister, no matter which one you support,
It all makes sense.
However, King Jing is different. He is the brother of His Majesty Li Er.
If King Jing wants to ascend to the throne, he can only rebel and re-enact the "Xuanwumen Incident"!
He was a little thirsty and wanted to drink water, but found that he had smashed the tea cup. He shook his head and said, "The risk is too great."
He is not just himself. Thousands of people in the Duke Qiao's palace have lost their lives. Once they fail, they will be massacred. Even if his brother Chai Lingwu is the son-in-law of His Majesty Li Er, he may not be able to escape his involvement.
Maybe the entire Chai family will be extinct from now on...
You Wenzhi saw Chai Zhewei's heart moved, but he still looked like he was "doing great things without sacrificing his own life". He was worried about this and worried about that. He thought in his heart but said no, with some disdain, but he persuaded him: "Of course there are risks, but the benefits are greater.
big!"
One sentence stirred up Chai Zhewei's heart.
That's right, before the "Xuanwu Gate Incident", didn't His Majesty Li Er and the entire "Tiance Mansion" tie the lives of the whole family to their belts? If they lost, they would be executed, and everything would be ruined.
stop.
But they won, and from then on, the "Tiance Mansion" jumped up and down the dragon gate, and its power dominated the world...
