After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

Chapter 314 Entering Qiongzhou
Tianshui Lane in Jinzhou Prefecture was very lively today.

Dozens of soldiers were wearing military uniforms and badges, and they looked very majestic. The two people walking at the front were carrying a long plaque about three meters long and one meter wide, with "House of Glory" written in block letters on it. The four large characters are wrapped in gold, making it even more majestic.

As soon as the soldiers entered Tianshui Lane, they were immediately surrounded by the neighbors in the alley. The children also followed the soldiers and imitated their walking style. After a while, they gathered around. Gangster.

"What are you doing? Why are there so many people?"

"Didn't you hear? It's said that the Fang family got a plaque titled "House of Glory!"

"What is this plaque for? Home of Glory. Oh, I remembered. There was an old man named Zhang. His eldest daughter was a soldier. He seemed to have gotten one before. It was a sensation in the whole city at that time. It was said that it was better than The parade of champions is still lively! ”

"Yes, yes, I went to watch the fun at that time. I don't know what kind of blessings that old man Zhang has accumulated in his previous life. He only had three girls, and he has no sons at nearly fifty and a half years old. Who knows, the daughter of the National People's Congress Not only did he earn a honorary plaque, but he is now said to be the magistrate of Qianzhou! His second daughter is also a soldier! Tell me, what's wrong with having children in this world? The same? Old man Zhang has three daughters, but his waist is straight and his life is extremely comfortable!"

"That's right, so regardless of gender, the child must be promising. Otherwise, there is no hope for a boy or girl."

"What about this family, the Fang family? Which Fang family?"

"You don't even know about the Fang family? How many Fang families are there in Jinzhou Prefecture? The one who was in charge of the agricultural department before, and there is also a girl who is in charge of the education department. Speaking of which, our eldest one is still a student of Teacher Fang. "

"The Fang family!" The man said in a daze, "Is it the Fang family who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country? The one whose eldest daughter ran away?"

"Didn't you listen to what the soldiers said just now? She is not a traitor to the enemy, but His Highness asked her to be a traitor! The soldier just said that this girl is incredible. She was alone in the enemy camp and killed Prince Ming. , amazing, amazing!”

Someone said proudly: "You are talking about Teacher Fang, right? Oh, I have seen that girl. She speaks politely and is good-looking. I was wondering before that she didn't look like a collaborator. , maybe they have some reasons, you see, I’m right!”

Some people immediately laughed at her as an afterthought.

Such movement naturally alarmed several people in the main room of the Fang family.

Today is Saturday, and no one in the Fang family has gone out. They are now nervous when they hear movement outside the door, for fear that someone will come to cause trouble, especially today when they hear the sound of gongs, drums, and people from afar. It even frightens the Fang family, which has only one daughter, Fang Ningmo.

The grandmother of the Fang family is old, and now she does not look like the dignified lady in Bianjing City in the past. The old lady has killed people, seen blood, and helped the grandmother of the Xu family to patrol the streets. She is naturally imposing. Much different than before.

In addition, the generous members of the Fang family are all thin-skinned, and now they dare not retaliate even after being scolded so badly that they can only walk away without saying a word.

When people call their family members traitors, what can they say in reply?
Who made Fang Ruyu really run away with the people from Qiongzhou?

Even if they have a mouth, they can't explain clearly, and it will cause even greater trouble, so it's better to settle the matter.

At this moment, she slowly moved down from the kang and snorted coldly, with a rather menacing feeling, "Okay, it has just been quiet for a month or two, and these people are making trouble again? They are bullying no one in our Fang family. no?"

After saying that, she reached behind the door, found a machete on her waist, and walked out.

Fang Ningmo was worried and could only follow him for fear of causing trouble.

The Fang family has only two daughters. Now that one daughter is far away in Qiongzhou, only Fang Ningmo can support the family, making it even more weak.

When the grandfather and grandson walked to the door, they realized that something was wrong.

They saw dozens of ceremonial soldiers from a distance, playing and singing, and carrying plaques. Everyone in the alley was pointing and pointing, looking at it, it seemed that some family had achieved great merit.

The Fang family's grandmother felt slightly relieved. She grabbed Fang Ningmo's wrist and said, "It's not us. The ceremonial soldiers are here to hand out plaques. They are not here to cause trouble."

Fang Ningmo finally calmed down, but when she saw the two people standing at the door of Fang's house, a familiar grandmother immediately announced the good news at the throat: "Sister Fang, there is a happy event in your family, a big happy event. !”

A few more people with fast steps and quick mouths shouted: "Fang family, great joy! Great joy! Come on, come on, come give your family a plaque!"

This shout alarmed the old man of the Fang family. Ever since Fang Ruyu left, the grandfather of the Fang family had lingered on the sickbed amidst the scoldings of the people. Now his hair is gray, his body is stooped, and he is much thinner than before.

Now he was supported by his eldest son and daughter-in-law and walked out, frowning slightly as he looked at the team of ceremonial soldiers who were gradually approaching.

"What happened?"

Fang Ningmo's heart was beating fast. She looked closely and saw only the words on the plaque. She gasped, "House of Glory? Who?"

Grandma was also confused, "What glorious house? Is it the plaque on Old Man Zhang's house a few years ago?"

"Oh, Sister Fang, I'm so happy. Your eldest granddaughter has made great contributions on the front line. Now His Highness has ordered someone to deliver the memorial memorial."

The neighbors all enthusiastically held Grandma Fang's hand. The faces that had once spoken harsh words to her were now full of solicitude. Congratulatory voices kept coming, and even the children gathered around her.

Everyone in the Fang family was completely confused about the situation. Only the leading soldier gave them a standard military salute when he arrived, "Are you Fang Ruyu's family?"

Everyone in the Fang family looked at each other, Fang Ningmo was at the front, "Yes, what's the matter?"

"Miss Fang Ruyu has made military exploits on the front line. This is a battle report. The Propaganda Department has also issued a notice to inform the 121 counties in the 13 prefectures of Jinzhou Prefecture. This is the plaque of 'House of Glory' issued by the Propaganda Department. We can Help hang it up.”

The Fang family was shocked.

Fang Ruyu? Made a military exploit on the front line?
Fang Ningmo's eyes widened: "Are you talking about Fang Ruyu? Are you mistaken? My sister went to Qiongzhou."

"That's right. You can read the battle report yourself." The man handed the battle report to Fang Ningmo, and everyone immediately gathered together. Even Mr. Fang couldn't help but step forward.

Everyone in the Fang family became more and more frightened as they watched, and then Mrs. Fang burst into tears, almost beating her chest and crying: "This girl, such a big thing happened, she can still remain calm!"

Mrs. Fang was shocked and said, "Ruyu killed Zhou Heng?"

Mr. Fang looked very embarrassed.

Although he never promised Xu Zhenying to come out to do things, several young people were able to get along like a fish in water in Jinzhou Mansion. Seeing that their future was bright, they ran away again.

Mr. Fang didn't know for a moment whether he wished Jinzhou Mansion good or bad.

It's not a good feeling to be pointed at and called "traitor".

But now, the late emperor's only son is dead, which means that the Great Zhou Dynasty is really like a candle in the wind, crumbling at any time.

Mr. Fang closed his eyes in despair and almost lost his balance. Fortunately, Mr. Fang on one side kept supporting him.

"Zhou Heng is dead?" Fang Ningmo was shocked in her heart.

Is Zhou Heng really dead?

Just die?
A man who had been entrenched in the east for seven or eight years, controlled one of the princes, and almost shaken the foundation of the Zhou Dynasty, was killed by Fang Ruyu like this?
Fang Ningmo's mind was filled with questions, as if he wanted to see the whole story from the few words in the battle report.

The battle report was not long. Perhaps due to confidentiality issues, many things were explained vaguely. Even the cause of Zhou Heng's death was not explained clearly.

But just based on the fact that Fang Ruyu has been dealing with that damn Zhou Heng in Qiongzhou for half a year, we know how dangerous she is this time!
Fang Ningmo felt heartbroken when she thought of Fang Ruyu leaving her hometown and wandering around in front of her enemies day and night, trying to protect herself while trying to find a way to kill Zhou Heng!

That's her sister——

A sister who has never suffered anything in her life.

Fang Ningmo felt uncomfortable in her heart, but she could only endure it. Now she just wished that Fang Ruyu would come back soon so that she could ask him everything.

So she asked the ceremonial soldier: "Since my sister has not collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, when will she come back?"

The man shook his head, "You may have to ask the secretary's office for details."

Seeing the expressions of everyone in the Fang family, the surrounding neighbors were all anxious.

"Oh, what happened? They say meritorious service is meritorious, but what meritorious deeds have been accomplished?"

"There's no need to worry. There's a notice. We'll go check it out later."

People with good intentions can't wait to come over and read the mysterious battle report with the Fang family.

After seeing this, the grandmother of the Fang family burst out laughing. After months of gloom, she stared at the neighbors, and then said angrily to everyone: "You see, my eldest granddaughter is not a traitor to the enemy." The sinner! Her going to Qiongzhou was deliberately arranged by His Highness! My granddaughter cooperated with His Highness in Qiongzhou and killed hundreds of enemies, including Prince Ming. Now our people from Jinzhou Mansion have almost reached Qiongzhou! "

The people around him looked ashamed, but they also knew that the Fang family was afraid that they would make a comeback soon, so they could only agree quickly.

"That's right, my old lady has said a long time ago that the eldest lady of the Fang family does not look like a traitor to the enemy! She has made great achievements now, and I am afraid she will be great in the future!"

But someone with an honest personality said frankly: "Yes, eldest sister of the Fang family, we can't be blamed for this matter. His Highness didn't tell us. We didn't know that it was His Highness who arranged for Miss Fang to go to Qiongzhou. She had offended many people in the past. , it’s our fault.”

Fang Ningmo tugged on her grandmother's sleeves and hurriedly smiled and said to everyone: "Everyone, Your Highness always does things with foresight. What's more, my sister is going to the enemy team, so her identity naturally needs to be kept secret. You all also share the same hatred, which proves that we are all the same. It’s all for Jinzhou Prefecture, and our Fang family won’t blame you.”

Fang Ningmo's beautiful words made the neighbors who had been embarrassed and laughed at them slightly relieved.

Having said that, just like a cracked mirror that is difficult to sew up, the Fang family will inevitably have knots in their hearts when they were treated like enemies in the past.

But Fang Ningmo thought of more important things. Now the little girl was doing things calmly and looked like a family leader for the first time. "Father, mother, you stay here first. Let's hang up the plaque first. Let everyone in Jinzhou Prefecture know that our Fang family is a loyal family. If any neighbors come to ask, everyone will have more smiles. Now that my sister has cleared her grievances, our family members may return to work. This is a sensitive period, everyone should be more cautious in what they say and do. I will inform the cousin——"

Mrs. Fang Da quickly responded, wiping her tears and said: "Okay, okay, go quickly, we are here. My brothers and sisters always resented us in the past, but now that their innocence is clear, we can get back together." Fang Ruyu responded repeatedly. , and left quickly amidst the congratulations of everyone.

She ran very fast, but her mind was very clear. She actually felt that her footsteps were lighter than ever before.

She thought a lot along the way.

She thought about how Fang Ruyu accepted orders in danger, how she dealt with Zhou Heng, and how she killed Zhou Heng.

Although Zhou Heng was their enemy, she would still feel horrified if Fang Ningmo actually killed his enemy.

She wanted to know everything.

She ran to the door of the second room of Fang's house, and now she couldn't care less. She stepped into the door grandly. When facing her second aunt, she no longer felt that she was short of her. She even raised her voice a little louder, "Second aunt, cousin." Woolen cloth."

Mrs. Fang's second wife naturally had a bad look on Fang Ningmo, and was even more angry when she saw her coming in uninvited. But when she raised her eyes, she saw Fang Ningmo running away with a red face, and her heart skipped a beat, fearing that something might happen again.

Fortunately, Fang Ningmo immediately said: "Second aunt, go and call your cousin. My sister...she was wronged! It was His Highness who asked her to go to Qiongzhou! Our Fang family has been cleared of all charges and has taken off the label of 'traitor' , let my cousin come out and go to the government office with me to find out."

When the people in the house heard the noise, they all came out. Fang Xun was a little dazed, "Ningmo, what's going on?"

Mrs. Fang Er also froze on the spot, "Are you talking about Fang Ruyu?"

"The detailed situation is on the notice! Many people came to my house today to present the plaque of the House of Glory. They said that my sister had made great contributions on the front line and that she went to Qiongzhou under the secret order of His Highness. The specific situation is not clear. Cousin, come with me and we’ll go find Sister Yinxi to find out.”

Fang Xun immediately said: "Mom, go to the gate of the government office and see what is written on the notice. If anything happens, inform the rest of the Fang family as soon as possible. Father, please go to my grandfather's place and have a look."

When Mrs. Fang saw the two children running out, she was extremely anxious. She rushed out of the door regardless, and the three of them hurried toward the government office.

This government office was once the most familiar place to the Fang family. They went in and out countless times every day.

But since Fang Ruyu left, they had no shame to come.

This is the first time they have broken in in more than half a year.

This government office has become a bit strange now, and they no longer recognize the guards at the door.

Fortunately, after they reported their names, they were quickly taken in.

Although they were familiar with this journey, Fang Xun and Fang Ningmo were still a little nervous.

Fang Xun had already exchanged information with Fang Ningmo on the road. At present, both of them only knew that Fang Ruyu had not really gone to Qiongzhou and that everything was arranged by His Highness. However, they were confused about the details.

After waiting at the door of Xu Yinxi's office for about a quarter of an hour, Xu Yinxi hurriedly opened the door and came to greet them in person, "Fang Xun, Ningmo, I'm really sorry. Things have been a bit busy these days, please." sit."

When they met again, the three of them were a little embarrassed.

Ever since Fang Ruyu was accused of "collaborating with the enemy and treason", the former members of the Xu family's political team have intentionally or unintentionally alienated everyone in the Fang family.

Although they had a life-long friendship, after all, Fang Ruyu acted like that, and the Xu family couldn't be as rational as Xu Zhenying. Therefore, even though they knew that the Fang family was innocent, they couldn't help but anger the rest of the Fang family.

Of course, the Fang family themselves had no shame, and even if something big happened to them later, they would not come to beg them.

The Xu family here are strangers to each other.

Even if they met in Jinzhou Mansion, they would act as if they didn't know each other.

Now that they met again, Xu Yinxi was still in a daze.

Fang Xun subconsciously asked: "But what happened on the battlefield to the east?"

Xu Yinxi subconsciously guarded against Fang Xun, but then she thought about it. The Fang family was about to rise again, and they would be comrades fighting side by side from now on, so she said: "Yes, Zhou Heng is dead, and the eastern front is advancing in full force." , His Highness is personally in charge——"

When Fang Xun and Fang Ningmo heard the news of Zhou Heng's death with their own ears, their hearts skipped a beat.

"Zhou Heng is really... dead?"

"How did you die?"

Xu Yinxi asked them to sit down, and then handed them the battle report. The brother and sister looked closely at each other, but they only saw the situation on the battlefield and knew nothing about how Fang Ruyu killed Zhou Heng.

Xu Yinxi handed them another encrypted letter.

Only then did Fang Ningmo know everything.

It turned out that when Qiongzhou sent a mission to propose marriage, His Highness had already guessed that they might want to go through Fang Ruyu and made arrangements in advance.

But Fang Ningmo never expected that her sister would have such courage!
She has never traveled far alone in her life.

How dare you now, surrounded by enemy troops in a foreign land, first join forces with Wang Sanniang and the others to sell all the discarded waste from Jinzhou Prefecture to Qiongzhou Prefecture at a high price, earning 500,000 to 600,000 yuan in real gold and silver, and then use a method to ignite flour. This method killed all the main characters in Qiongzhou.

Although there were only a few dozen words, Fang Ningmo felt a surge of murderous intent coming towards her, making her tremble with fear!
Fang Xun was also shocked after reading it, and then he felt very guilty and said: "We have all wronged my cousin——"

Fang Ningmo asked anxiously: "What about my sister?"

"She should have stayed in Qiongzhou. You should also know that the war there is fierce, and Fang Ruyu wants to stay there to make achievements and completely wash away the stigma on herself."

Fang Ningmo's eyes turned red, "Why should she be like this? The stigma on the Fang family has been cleared away, and she also won a plaque for the Fang family to be named the Glory House. If her parents knew that she had done so many things in Qiongzhou, Will definitely be proud of her.”

Fang Xun obviously thought more, "By the time my cousin comes back, we will have captured the entire Eastern Territory, and that's when we head north."

Heading north?

The three people in the room were all a little frightened.

Didn't expect that they could fight back to Bianjing so quickly?
Yes, once Zhou Heng dies, it will be a matter of time to take over the eastern border, and the Great Zhou Dynasty is already at dusk, and only one Zhao Yi can be used, but once Zhao Yi leaves, the Tatars in the north cannot resist it, so how do you think, this The process of unifying the world seemed to be suddenly accelerated.

Maybe in another two or three years, they can really be the masters of this world!
Xu Yinxi smiled: "You and I just have to listen to His Highness's arrangements. I would like to congratulate you two first. Along with the battle report, there are also documents for your reinstatement. In the seven months before you were dismissed, all salaries and All benefits will be repaid.”

really.

Fang Xun's eyes lit up.

Even Fang Ningmo was a little excited.

On the way here, the two people vaguely felt that since Fang Ruyu is innocent, it is very likely that everyone in the Fang family will be reinstated!
Xu Yinxi stared at Fang Xun, "Minister Fang, this is a critical time for Jinzhou Mansion. Have you rested enough at home? If you have rested enough, you can come to the government office to report. You can share some of my burdens for me."

Fang Xun's eyes were filled with sparkle, "Okay, I won't break the promise."

------------------

As for Xu Zhenying, the war going eastward was going quite smoothly.

Although Zhou Heng had the advantage of having a "pure blood", all the main core personnel were blown away, leaving the group without a leader for a while. In addition, Zhou Heng's death gave the officials below him more thoughts. Some even boldly asked him directly. A white flag of surrender was raised in the direction of Jinzhou Prefecture.

When one person starts, others immediately follow.

The war turned in Xu Zhenying's direction with overwhelming force.

In some places, even before Xu Zhenying's people went there, they hung up the flag of Jinzhou Prefecture early and unilaterally declared that they belonged to Jinzhou Prefecture. The county magistrate even directly sent a letter asking Xu Zhenying to come and take over. .

The common people have long heard of the reputation of the Southwest female rebels, and Jinzhou Prefecture has done a good job in publicity work, so they already know what kind of life the people in Jinzhou Prefecture live, and what kind of education for all, Standardized breeding, cowpox vaccine, etc. are even more familiar, and I just wish I could become a member of the Jinzhou Prefecture as soon as possible.

Therefore, wherever Xu Zhenying went, he was warmly welcomed by the people.

The remaining forces in Qiongzhou Prefecture were defeated one after another. Even Zhou Heng died, and the soldiers below had no choice but to surrender.

Xu Zhenying reached Qiongzhou almost effortlessly.

On the day they entered the city, the whole Qiongzhou was in a state of shock.

There was a crowd of tens of thousands of people at the city gate. From the civil and military officials of the original Qiongzhou Prefecture to the foot soldiers and servants, as well as the famous families of Qiongzhou Prefecture, they were all ordered to gather at the city gate to welcome the new city lord into the city.

The rumored highness, Prince Zhao, arrived by carriage.

As soon as she arrived in Qiongzhou, the entire city wall fell silent and fell into a dead silence.

Everyone watched intently as the ordinary-looking carriage slowly stopped at the gate of the city wall. Then the green curtain opened and a very young woman got out of the carriage.

The woman was wearing a blue silk dress. The style looked unfashionable and even a little weird. It was probably the long trousers that women in Jinzhou Prefecture were used to. Her hair was pulled up high without any extra jewelry, revealing her smooth forehead and her eyes as dark as the sea.

Her dress and appearance were very much like a man's.
