Besides lying down, I also know a little about power struggles

Chapter 120 Men can’t say no

Feng Twelve's expression changed slightly.

She said, I'll go with you.

These six short words are more shocking than the sentence "there is no one to trust anymore".

"No."

He didn't even ask why she wanted to go and just refused.

Fang Tong seemed not to hear his words, and said to himself: "Take me with you, maybe I can be of use."

"No." Feng Twelve rejected it again, "This trip is not as good as staying in the capital."

"That's why you should take me with you." Fang Tong argued, "You know my abilities. I can help you get information and create chaos unexpectedly."

She can transform into a cat and move freely in the enemy camp. No one will be on guard against a kitten.

"no--"

Before Feng Twelve could finish his words, Fang Tong covered his mouth with his hand.

She glared at him: "A man can't say no!"

Feng Twelve was silent for a moment and pulled her hand away.

He looked at her, his eyes were indescribable.

Fang Tong was stunned for two seconds and then remembered what he had said.

She cleared her throat, her eyes wandering: "What I mean is, you are not allowed to say 'no'."

After that, he became confident again: "I believe you will not sit there and wait for death. Even if this journey is full of dangers, you will definitely find a way to come back alive."

This is not flattery, but comes from my understanding of Feng Twelve.

Although this guy doesn't fight or compete, he is more rebellious than King Ping in his heart, otherwise the father-son relationship between him and the emperor would not have become so weak over the years.

"Do you trust me so much?" Feng Twelve asked.

Fang Tong nodded solemnly.

Feng Twelve smiled.

He looked particularly handsome when he smiled, like a spring breeze blowing across a sword, or a flower falling on a knife tempered by ice.

Fang Tong subconsciously put his right hand behind his back.

This hand had just covered his lips, and his lips were slightly cool, dry, and a little soft.

Fang Tong ignored the strange feeling on his palm and said seriously, "Don't worry that I will hold you back. If I encounter danger, I can protect myself more easily than you."

No matter how good a person's martial arts skills are, after all, he is so big and is far less agile than a kitten.

When Feng Twelve heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up again.

Fang Tong's ears were hot: "I'm talking to you about serious matters, did you hear me?"

"Yes, I heard you." Feng Twelve's answer was indescribably gentle. "If I really have trouble, I will definitely ask you for help."

This is his answer.

The day after he gave this answer, he left the capital.

Fang Tong didn't find out until the next morning that Feng Twelve had left.

He left quietly. According to Wei Baichuan, he left at midnight the previous day. Fang Tong recalled that they returned home at around 2am last night, and she even said goodnight to him. But he slipped away only two or three hours later.

No wonder on the way back home, he was reluctant to express whether to let her go to Luozhou.

This delaying tactic really works, Fang Tong cursed inwardly.

Wei Baichuan saw that she looked unhappy and comforted her, "Don't worry too much, Miss Fang. Although Sui Yongdao is the commander of the Beihe Army, treason is a crime of extermination of the clan, and his subordinates may not be united."

Fang Tong pulled the corners of his mouth and forced a smile.

Although Wei Baichuan's words sounded nice, there was a shadow in his eyes, and it was obvious that he had not slept all night. The two of them knew it very well. This kind of comfort could only be given to others. It was hard to predict whether Feng Twelve would be safe or not when he left.

"I understand." Fang Tong didn't want to pour cold water on him. At least judging from Feng Twelve's attitude last night, he wouldn't be so stupid as to die. "Thank you, Commander Wei, for your trust."

These words came from the heart. It was a secret that the emperor sent Feng Twelve to Luozhou. If it were someone else, there was no way they could find out anything from the Rui Palace. However, Wei Baichuan was not shy about it with her and obviously treated her as one of his own.

"His Highness said that there is no need to hide his affairs from the girl."

Before his Highness left, he said:

"If she's mad at me for leaving without saying goodbye, just tell her that I'll come back and apologize to her when I get back."

When Wei Baichuan heard this instruction, he really wanted to ask his own prince: You care so much about the other girl, do you like her?

However, he did not dare to ask this question, as His Highness was about to leave, and asking these questions would only add to his troubles. He just wanted to take good care of Miss Fang when His Highness was away from the capital.

Fang Tong had no idea of ​​the mixed feelings in Wei Baichuan's mind. She was only angry at the guy who left. She said there was no need to hide anything, but when the time came, he still left secretly.

Things have come to this point, and there is no point in complaining. Feng Twelve is not in the capital, and her life must go on. Fang Tong thought of this and said to Wei Baichuan: "I want to buy a house in the capital. If it is convenient for you, Commander Wei, please recommend a few reliable dental shops."

A broker is an intermediary. You can entrust the purchase of people, things and houses to them. After the deal is done, all the buyer and seller need to pay the commission.

Fang Tong was not familiar with the capital, and buying a house was a top priority in life. Instead of wandering around like a headless fly, it would be better to leave professional matters to professionals.

"No problem." As soon as she opened her mouth, Wei Baichuan took out a piece of paper from his bosom, "Here are the addresses of three dental clinics. They are all well-known brands in Beijing. Their prices are fair and they are honest. Your Highness knew that the young lady wanted to buy a house, so he asked me to prepare it last night."

Fang Tong felt warm in her heart and couldn't help but secretly curse Feng Twelve. He planned everything so carefully for her, did he really want to never come back?
She took the address given by Wei Baichuan and went out with Lu Tao that day. She left letters at three brokerage offices and asked them to help her find a suitable house.

At this time, a hundred miles away from the capital, at the foot of a small earthen slope, Feng Twelve handed the water bag to an accompanying official.

After all, he was going to Luozhou this time with the title of imperial envoy, and the emperor sent him a team of 20 people to accompany him. In addition to the imperial guards responsible for guarding, there were also several civil servants in the team.

Several civil servants were of low rank, but as weak scholars, they had never experienced the hardship of a long-distance march, and after a night of rapid riding, they were already exhausted.

Fortunately, these people were still tough and did not complain. They took advantage of the rest time, leaning against the slope, and took the time to relax.

The official closest to Feng Twelve was called Zhao Heng, from the Ministry of Personnel. When Meng Xuanyi, the Member of the Ministry of Examination, died suddenly and unexpectedly, he took over the position and was promoted from the seventh rank to the sixth rank.

Zhao Heng was nearly forty years old and was the oldest among the civil servants, and also had the worst physical strength.

He took the water bag handed to him by Feng Twelve, thanked him, and gulped down a big gulp. Only then did he feel his throat felt better.

"Your Highness, do we have to rush like this from now on?" He asked on behalf of several young colleagues.

"If you can't handle it, you can slow down a little," Feng Twelve said, "I will lead the people to Luozhou first."

"That won't do." Zhao Heng propped himself up with one hand and sat up straighter. "We are here on orders, so how can we get any special treatment? Your Highness, don't worry. We can handle it."

Feng Twelve sat down beside him, looked at the sun shining high in the sky, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Do you know how dangerous this trip is?"

The emperor suppressed Prince Ping's rebellion, and few people outside knew about it except for important officials in the court.

This trip to Luozhou was of great importance, so several civil servants were temporarily transferred. Looking at their confused looks, I'm afraid they don't know what kind of dangers lie ahead.
