Concubine Sheng Chong

Chapter 109 How Can Xu Junyan Stand By?
Outside the General's Mansion, several servants in festive attire were already standing beside a carriage.

"The auspicious time is coming soon, and I hope Lord Hou and Madam will not miss the auspicious time."

A servant came forward slowly with a whisk in his hand. He had seen this farewell scene many times, and the words came out of his mouth in this scene.

Li shi held Fang Lixian's hand tightly.

Fang Lixian was naturally uncomfortable in her heart, it was like going out but it made her more uneasy than getting married.

Uncertainty ahead...

She turned around to look at her reluctant mother, wiped her tears and comforted her, "Mother, don't worry about your daughter, everything is fine, take care of yourself, and when your elder brother gets married, you will be able to enjoy a happy life. "

"Xian'er, don't cry, this makeup is going to take a lot of time, and my mother is doing well in the mansion... Don't worry, you will live a good life after entering the palace, anyway, the Fang family will protect you."

Mrs. Li sealed the corners of Yin's eyes with the peony kerchief in her hand, and personally delivered Fang Lixian, who was dressed in gold embroidered brocade and dazzling pearl hairpins, to the luxurious carriage.

The people in the General's Mansion were all outside the door looking at the carriage going away, and after standing for a long time, they all turned around and returned to the mansion.

For such a family of generals who were walking on thin ice, sending a daughter into the palace also meant to be safe.

Li's eyes were slightly red, and she walked at the end, turning around from time to time to look in the direction where the carriage disappeared.

Fang Yanjing patted her on the shoulder lightly, "Madam... Lixian has already left, let's go back."

Mrs. Li sighed, "Master... I just wanted my Xian'er to marry an ordinary family in Luoyang City, so that I could come back and have a look at me from time to time."

Fang Yanjing also sighed, "The carriage has already gone to the palace. After all, Lixian is extremely intelligent, and it was her luck to enter the palace. Madam, don't worry, Lixian understands everything... Hurry up and go Went back to father and mother."

Mrs. Fang just sent Fang Lixian off in the house. After all, she was too old to come out to enjoy the cool breeze.

Speaking of that, Fang Yanjing said to Fang Licheng and Fang Lijin who were standing aside: "Licheng, Lijin, you should spend more time in the mansion with your mother and grandmother these few days."

Fang Licheng nodded quickly, "Father, don't worry, my second brother and I are fine these few days, so we should rest at home."

When Mrs. Li heard the words, she glanced at Fang Lijin, "Lijin, you should also learn more from your elder brother. Although our Fang family is small... it is not enough for you to seek refuge with someone outside... who……"

Hearing Li Shi's harsh words, Fang Yanjing coughed lightly, "Madam, let's go, mother and the others should be waiting impatiently."

After Fang Yanjing and Li's figure faded away, Fang Licheng turned around and asked Fang Lijin, "Second Brother, I heard that you are always going to the Zhuque Camp these days? If you want to learn this, why not follow me to the Fang Family Army... "

Fang Lijin casually grabbed a dead leaf that fell from the air, only to hear a slight crisp sound, the leaf was already smashed to pieces.

He lightly lifted the fallen leaves in his hand, raised his mouth and said, "Brother...Father won't let me get too involved with the Fang family army..."

Fang Licheng raised his head in surprise when he heard the words, "Second Brother...you..."

I always only knew that my second younger brother had no interest in military affairs since he was a child, and even only practiced martial arts a little, but he was not very good at it.

Fang Lijin patted Fang Licheng's shoulder with a nonchalant smile, "Brother, what are you thinking? I just have some friendship with Zhen Guohou. Could it be that you are like my mother... and you also took refuge in him as me?"

Fang Licheng thought of what his mother said just now, and said anxiously: "Second brother, it's not that you don't know, mother has that temperament, so don't take this to heart, she is also afraid that you will be confused and do something wrong."

Fang Lijin smiled and waved his hands, "Okay, okay...I also asked Xu Ming to go horse racing on the outskirts of the city, so let's go first."

After turning around, there was a mocking smile on his lips, "How could I not know?"

The voice seemed to be talking to himself, it was extremely low, and was quickly buried in the extremely slow-moving winter air...

Fang Licheng suddenly thought of something about Jiang Jinyan that he hadn't had time to ask, but when he looked up again, he saw that he had already walked more than ten steps.

Forget it, wait for him to come back and ask again.

Fang Licheng shook his head, then turned and walked towards the front yard.

In the Suzaku camp, Xu Junyan slightly narrowed his ink-like eyes.

The already chilly aura suddenly became even stronger.

Shopkeeper Wen also secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Master, even our Yutong pawn shop can't find that Zhang Jian, so it's no wonder that the two masters of the Jiang family can't find him."

This Zhang Jian is quite capable, the family's wife and son-in-law have let go, and escaped cleanly!

I don't know what the benefits are?
Xu Junyan looked at the grain adjustment order on the desk and remained silent.

There are still less than three days before the deadline on the grain adjustment order.

After a while, Xu Junyan raised his head and asked lightly, "How is the situation at the Jiang family?"

Shopkeeper Wen shook his head, "What can we do? Presumably the two masters of the Jiang family are waiting to plead guilty. This time the grain storage is so large that the nearby counties and counties cannot transfer excess grain storage for emergency."

Xu Junyan smiled lightly and shook his head, "It's a coincidence that the lost batch of stored food is going to be transported to Suzaku Camp."

Shopkeeper Wen thought about it, and blurted out, "Is the master going to help the Jing'an Hou Mansion this time?"

Xu Junyan then frowned slightly.

Even if what I did for that girl earlier mobilized my men and horses, it still couldn't be involved in this court after all.

This time, it was a bit tricky.

I was originally not to act rashly in the court.

"Old Wen, there must be clues to the Zhang Jian matter. Send more people and don't miss the clues."

After he finished speaking, he picked up the grain adjustment order on the desk, and after looking at it for a long time, he chuckled lightly as if mocking himself for a moment.

At that time, regarding the matter of Pinxiangxuan, I didn't know until I came back from Jiangnan that the girl had used the Wang family to settle the matter.

As for the matter of Zhongyonghou, Prince Duan had been to the residence of the Marquis of Jing'an, and she probably escaped the catastrophe by relying on Prince Duan.

What about this time?

Thinking of how stubbornly she made his heart torn, he was disturbed for a while.

It was as if her blood-stained dress appeared before his eyes again.

She has always been extremely plain...

Shopkeeper Wen waited for a long time but still didn't see him make a sound. He whispered: "Master...the matter of the Jing'an Hou Mansion..."

Xu Junyan raised his eyes, "Let's investigate Zhang Jian's matter first, the matter of Jing'an Hou's Mansion... I have my own discretion."

Shopkeeper Wen frowned. He had been with the master for almost two years. When the master was upset, his expression was always so ugly.

He didn't know what was involved here, so he nodded and retreated.

Since the master said that this matter should be handled by himself, there must be no need to ask any more questions.

At this time, Xu Ming greeted the shopkeeper Wen who was about to go out, and then entered the room.

"Master...the [-] military households in Yizhou this time, will we not intervene?"

Although it is said that the imperial court wants to regain control of these military households on the border, but this matter does not go through the generals who hold military power, it is just a joke.

But... Judging from the meaning of the master, it seems that he does not want to interfere.

Xu Junyan came back to his senses and nodded slightly to him, "We don't need to interfere with the military households in Yizhou this time."

Xu Ming was puzzled and said: "This is a great opportunity, master, you just let it go?"

Holding a military household in his hand is a great increase in strength for a general.

Xu Junyan smiled and shook his head, "We don't have to do it ourselves, the Holy Majesty has already intentionally handed over this matter to Cheng Lin of the Xuanwu Camp."

Xu Mingmao suddenly realized, it turned out to be the case!
Cheng Lin is in the hands of the master!
But compared to letting the master go to Yizhou himself, letting Cheng Lin go is even better!
It can also clear up the relationship between the master and the master here, and avoid a lot of trouble.

You know, those son-in-law ministers and admonishing officials are not forgiving.

Only then did he smile in relief, "Sure enough, the master has already made arrangements."

Xu Ming asked again in a flash: "Why did Lao Wen come here just now? Is there something wrong in Yizhou?"

Xu Junyan glanced at the grain adjustment order on the desk, and was about to speak when Fang Lijin's voice came from outside the door.

He walked into the study with a very leisurely pace, and said with a smile: "Today is really fresh, why is Hou Ye free to deal with business today?"

Having dealt with Xu Junyan for a long time, he is also familiar with this person's temper.

As long as he doesn't touch his bottom line, even though he has a cold face and looks like he doesn't get close to strangers, he is still an extremely peaceful person.

It's just that this peace is fully expressed in his indifference in dealing with the world.

Fang Lijin approached the desk while commenting on Xu Junyan in his heart.

The desk was the place where he was most annoyed a while ago.

Thinking about it, only Xu Junyan, who is always cold-faced and as indifferent as ice, can achieve this position.

Just as he was thinking, his eyesight was excellent, and he had already caught a glimpse of the document on the desk that Xu Junyan was staring at.

"What? Is there any other documents worthy of our Zhen Guohou's personal review?"

He stepped forward, but saw the grain adjustment order.

Xu Ming also asked curiously, "What happened to the Suzaku camp recently?"

Xu Junyan's eyes dimmed, and before he could speak, Fang Lijin said, "Isn't this what the household department has been working on these days?"

He said with a joking smile, "I didn't expect the Holy Majesty to be so generous this time, that the food reserves of these states and counties have all gone into the pockets of you generals."

Military rations are more useful than silver for the army!
Xu Junyan's face was not very good.

Fang Lijin also became interested, "What's the matter? Marquis Zhen Guo thinks this food is hard to handle?"

Xu Ming chuckled, "Second Young Master Fang, you must be accumulating good deeds!"

Xu Junyan glanced at him, "Your uncle is responsible for the food and grass that will be transported to Zhuque Camp."

"Oh?" Only then did Fang Lijin realize that Jiang Shiheng, the Marquis of Jing'an, had already served as a member of the household department, Wailang.

He jokingly smiled, "Is this worth your trouble?"

Xu Ming said anxiously: "Probably something went wrong."

Otherwise, the master would not be like this.

Xu Junyan lowered his eyes and said: "This batch of grain has disappeared before it leaves the warehouse, and even the officials responsible for the matter under the Marquis of Jing'an also fled."

Fang Lijin's expression changed after he sorted out the relationship here, "Then my uncle is doomed? This crime... I'm afraid it's not a light one?"

He thought about it for a moment, this person from the Jing'an Hou's mansion is so soft-spoken, surely he won't be framed with such great intentions?

Then this time...

He was looking at the grain adjustment order.

Send food and grass to Suzaku camp?
This military ration can be of great importance, even if the Jing'an Marquis Mansion doesn't confiscate the family and exterminate the clan, it will fall like this, right?

Fang Lijin raised his head and glanced at Xu Junyan.

Doesn't this matter depend on Xu Junyan's intention?

He seemed unintentional: "If I remember correctly, the Jing'an Hou Mansion is now owned by Jiang Jinyan... She must have known it, and I don't know what she looks like now. My cousin has always been strong, and I don't know how I won't be in a hurry..."

Seeing Xu Junyan's gradually gloomy face, Fang Lijin thought to himself that this was indeed a bit embarrassing for Xu Junyan.

But after what happened at Baohua Mountain that day, he doesn't doubt it at all now.

How could Xu Junyan stand by and watch?
