After all, if the Uehara Wang family, who is in charge of the appointment and selection of officials throughout the country, also gains the power to supervise all civil and military officials, then they will truly be invincible.

Therefore, the conflict between the Xiao family of Lanling and the Wang family of Shangyuan was undoubtedly the most profound.

This is also why Fang Weihan has been trying hard to establish a relationship with Xiao Fuwei.

But it seems that it is no longer necessary now.

Fang Weihan thought of Xiao Fuwei's last meaningful smile.

He must have reached some secret agreement with Fang Zun, and the Lanling Xiao family has completely sided with the royal family.

In this way, the probability of survival would be much higher.

Ever since this incident, Fang Weihan always had a feeling of dark clouds looming in his heart, as if several sharp arrows would shoot out from the invisible darkness and pierce him at any time.

Uehara Wang's next move may be just around the corner, and he must strive for more living space.

Thinking of this, Fang Weihan could no longer sit still.

"Okay then. You two should take good care of the aftermath of the Zoroastrianism. We'll see you tomorrow."

he stood up and said.

"Hey... aren't you going to say goodbye or something?"

Tao Yunjiang raised his hand lazily and asked in a naive tone.

"That's right, Brother Fang, do you not love us anymore? If we have disturbed you or delayed your trip, there is no need to say goodbye..."

Xiao Jin also frowned, looking aggrieved.

"Didn't we just kiss?"

Fang Weihan was helpless.

“All right, all right, all right…”

He walked forward and gave them both a quick kiss on the cheek.

Tao Yunjiang was kissed by him unexpectedly and became furious instantly.

"Do you want to die!"

She covered her slightly red face, feeling ashamed and angry.

"How can you say goodbye like this?"

"What's unreasonable about a kiss before saying goodbye?"

Fang Weihan asked in surprise.

"But...but..."

Tao Yunjiang looked at Xiao Jin, but found that she didn't seem to be angry at all.

She just covered her hot, white face, smiling foolishly, looking like she was deeply in love.

Tao Yunjiang: "..."

She remembered the scene just now.

This little Jin wouldn't really...

"It's over, Xiao Jin seems to be stupid."

Tao Yunjiang said somewhat sadly.

"Please take good care of Xiao Jin these days."

Fang Weihan looked at Tao Yunjiang and reminded him again.

"She has just come into contact with Xuan Zhongwei's affairs. You can help her out a little bit."

"Well, I know."

Tao Yunjiang nodded seriously.

"Okay, then I'm leaving."

Fang Weihan nodded at the two of them and turned to leave.

"Brother Fang, remember to wait for us in Changming!"

Xiao Jin came back to his senses and shouted quickly.

"Well, I will."

Fang Weihan chuckled.

"I'm not with you this time, don't cause any more trouble!"

Tao Yunjiang also gave him a lesson.

"No, don't worry, Master."

Fang Weihan exchanged a final glance with the two of them, and engraved their affectionate looks in his heart.

He turned and walked out of the courtyard.

……

Fang Weihan did not leave immediately, but went to meet Xiao Fuwei first.

"Your Highness, are you leaving?"

The tall and mighty general said with a smile.

Xiao Fuwei's expression when he saw Fang Weihan now was completely different from the expression when he first saw Fang Weihan.

At first, he was a little scrutinizing and indifferent, but now he looks at Fang Weihan as if he were his own son.

Fang Weihan couldn't help but get angry when he saw him like this.

He knew why Xiao Fuwei had that expression.

Damn it, this old guy must have sided with the royal family a long time ago. Now there is an unclear relationship between Xiao Jin and myself, which is like a close relationship.

And more importantly, he watched himself acting like a master for a long time yesterday, so he must be in a very good mood now.

Fang Weihan gnashed his teeth in hatred.

I should have thought of it earlier. When Xiao Jin said in the dream that the Lanling Xiao family suffered heavy casualties in the Taikang Rebellion and she was the only member of the main family left, I should have realized what the Lanling Xiao family's position was.

But thinking of this, Fang Weihan's resentment was not so strong.

At the very least, they are worthy of their status and identity, and even more worthy of the royal family and country of the Great Zhou.

"Yes, there are still many things in Changming that I need to deal with, so I came here specially to say goodbye to the general."

Fang Weihan clasped his fists and said.

"Ah."

Xiao Fuwei nodded.

"I have ordered people to block the news of this matter. I hope Your Highness will not spread it after you return."

"The Shangyuan Wang family has a deep foundation, and we cannot shake it in one day. It is better to lie dormant for the time being and wait and see. When the time is right, we can strike with thunder."

He said slowly.

"What the general said is very true."

Fang Weihan bowed and agreed.

"But if the Uehara Wang family insists on having their own way and repeats a tragedy like today, what do you think I should do, General?"

He changed the subject and asked with his head raised.

Xiao Fuwei raised his eyebrows and placed one hand on the hilt of the knife, his aura of majesty revealed instantly.

"If so, Your Highness should know what to do, right?"

Xiao Fuwei said calmly.

"I see that your demeanor at Shaxuyi is somewhat similar to that of Taizu in the past. There should be no need for me to make decisions on such matters."

"Your Highness, remember that the Lanling Xiao family has never been a vassal of the Shangyuan Wang family. The Xuanzhong Guards are not part of the Imperial Guards either."

Fang Weihan was silent for a moment and then smiled.

"it is good!"

He bowed deeply to Xiao Fuwei, this time with sincerity.

"Thank you, Commander."

Xiao Fuwei smiled with satisfaction and nodded slightly.

"Well, the Xuanzhong Guards just lost more than a hundred soldiers, and they are also responsible for the elimination of the Demon Cult in Yongzhou. The task is quite heavy. I really can't spare anyone to accompany and protect Your Highness on the way back to Changming. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

"It's okay. If I go back alone this time, I will be less conspicuous and it will be less likely for the news to leak out."

Fang Weihan was not too worried about his safety on the way back.

It would only take half a day's journey at most, and they would soon enter the territory of Jingzhao. After the serious losses at Shaxu Station, the remnants of the Zoroastrianism in Yongzhou would no longer pose any threat to him.

Moreover, he was alone this time, and he did not reveal his whereabouts to anyone else. Only Xiao Jin, Tao Yunjiang and Xiao Fuwei knew about it. The three of them definitely could not be traitors of the Shangyuan Wang family.

Fang Weihan thought so, but Xiao Fuwei just smiled.

"Perhaps Your Highness has a better choice?"

He said with a smile.

Fang Weihan: "?"

What do you mean?

Are you asking me to take the high-speed train back?

But seeing that Xiao Fuwei was determined to be the riddle teller and didn't want to reveal the secret, he had no choice but to bow and leave the room.

Damn it, that damn riddle man, he always keeps his words to himself.

"Oh, Xiao Fuwei, right? Just wait for me. When my cultivation surpasses yours one day, you will see how I will deal with you."

He muttered to himself.

After Fang Weihan left the prefect's mansion, he did not disturb anyone along the way but came to the outside of the city wall of Fufeng County.

There is an inn nearby, and he plans to rent a horse here and rush back to Changming City.

There is a big word "Zhou" hanging on the wall of this inn. It is Zhou Family Inn.

This thing is all over the country and can almost be regarded as the largest hotel chain of this era.

Matters related to logistics, such as horse leasing, north-south water transport, sea and water transport, etc., were all managed by the Zhou family of Runan.

The inn is just a side business.

"Damn it, I was in such a hurry to get out just now that I forgot to borrow a horse from Xiao Fuwei."

Fang Weihan muttered.

Just as he was about to approach the stable, he saw a white figure out of the corner of his eye.

Fang Weihan: "?"

He turned around and saw that Lord Yuchen of Linyuan Pavilion had appeared at the door of the inn at some point and was looking at him silently.

Fang Weihan was a little confused.

Damn, why is Wen Zhexue so elusive?

But come to think of it, he saved my life, but I haven’t formally thanked him yet…

Fang Weihan hesitated for a moment and then walked forward.

"Fairy Wen, thank you for appearing in time to save my life at Shaxuyi that day, otherwise I would have become a ghost under the knife of that demon cult monster by now."

He raised his hand and said.

Wen Zhexue continued to look at him silently, with no expression on her cold little face.

The two of them just stared at each other, and the scene was very awkward for a while.

Fang Weihan suddenly reacted.
