Chapter 1435 Visiting the elder

On the tenth day of the first month of the first year of Xinmeng, that is, the tenth day of the first month of the eighth year of Jingtai in the Ming Dynasty, Fang Jianming and his party, accompanied by Dugu Jiutian and Dongfang Zhen, visited many places from morning till night.

Fang Jianming once asked Dongfang Zhen about Dongfang Tianjiao. According to Dongfang Zhen, Dongfang Tianjiao has recently been practicing "Datianluo Divine Art" and has not yet left the customs. Once he leaves the customs, he will definitely come to meet Fang Jianming.

Fang Jianming is no longer the young boy who just came out of the rivers and lakes back then. When Dongfang Zhen said this, her expression was as usual, but Fang Jianming still noticed something.He felt that this matter would never be so simple, because Dongfang Tianjiao was the princess of Zhengtian Sect and Dongfang Zhen's most beloved disciple, so nothing would happen if he thought about it, so he didn't continue to ask.

Fang Jianming thought in his heart: "Aunt Dongfang, I never imagined that even you are here to lie to me now. How can I not know about Tianjiao's temper? If she knows that I am coming, even if she is in seclusion, she will find time to come out to see me. Okay. , I’ll just wait a few more days, if it’s still the case after a few days, I’d like to see what you and Uncle Dugu have to say.”

The next day, that is, the eleventh day of the first lunar month, four people came together to find Fang Jianming.The first person is Gu Rufeng, the leader of the Golden Dragon Society, the second person is Shan Wuwei, the leader of Wuyingmen, the third person is Jia Liancheng, the leader of Feiye Zhai, and the fourth person is Ge Kairan, the priest of Da Nei.

The purpose of the four of them is very obvious, that is to invite Fang Jianming to stay in the capital.Dugu Jiutian invited Fang Jianming and his party to stay for two days.

After Fang Jianming's figure on the horse disappeared into the sky, Hongye Daoist who was standing in Dugu Jiutian took a step forward, and said in a low voice: "Master, Fang Jianming and others must be preparing a plan to deal with our side, you Why don't you find a way to keep him?"

Dugu Jiutian smiled and said: "Really, do you think he came to the capital just to watch the ceremony?"

Daoist Hongye said: "This..."

Dugu Jiutian said: "I'm afraid there is one thing you don't know yet."

Daoist Hongye said: "This subordinate would like to hear more about it."

Dugu Jiutian said: "Do you know Yu Kang?"

Master Hongye thought for a while, and said: "I have heard about this person. He is Yu Qian's adopted son, and he is an official in other places."

Dugu Jiutian smiled and said: "This person went to Diancang years ago."

Daoist Hongye's complexion changed, and he said, "It's fine, why did he go to Diancang? Could it be that he was sent by Zhu Qiyu and Yu Qian..."

Dugu Jiutian laughed, this smile seemed to be an answer.What this kind of answer contains is not as simple as one thing.

Daoist Hongye turned his gaze, and immediately understood, saying: "This subordinate understands."

Dugu Jiutian said: "Just understand."

Accompanied by Gu Rufeng, Ge Kairan, Shan Wuwei, and Jia Liancheng, Fang Jianming and his party entered the gate of the capital.As early as Fang Jianming's way to Beijing, Zhu Qiyu had ordered the "Xiaoyaohou Mansion" which had been vacant for many years to be cleaned up, and more than 30 servants were selected by the palace to wait in the mansion at any time.

Therefore, after they entered the city, they went directly to the "Xiaoyaohou" mansion.When they came outside the Hou's mansion, more than 30 servants stood neatly outside the gate of Zhu Hong.

Fang Jianming and others flew off the horse, and someone came to lead the horse away.After entering the Hou's Mansion, Fang Jianming was a little excited, because nothing in the Hou's Mansion had changed. Looking at them one by one, they were still so familiar and kind, as if he had just gone out for a walk.

Fang Jianming was not in a hurry to go to the palace to meet Zhu Qiyu, he first bought some gifts and went to Yu Qian's mansion to visit Yu Qian.Zhu Qiyan was the only one who went with him.Zhou Feng and others stayed in the Hou's Mansion, but Gu Rufeng and the others were about to enter the palace to face the saint.

When he arrived at Yu's mansion, Yu Qian heard that Fang Jianming was coming. Regardless of his serious illness, he got up from the hospital bed and insisted on seeing Fang Jianming in the living room, but Fang Jianming came with Zhu Qiyan before he walked out of the bedroom door.

Seeing Yu Qian's sick face, Fang Jianming felt very sad. After supporting Yu Qian, he injected a gentle force into Yu Qian's body, and Yu Qian looked much better immediately.

However, Fang Jianming found sadly that Yu Qian's health was extremely bad. It was not that Yu Qian's illness could not be cured, but that Yu Qian's illness was due to exhaustion of mind and body.

To cure this disease, Yu Qian must first not think too much.As a Minister of the Ministry of War, Yu Shaobao, who is dedicated to state affairs, might not think too much about it?Yu Qian is a man who has read the books of sages and sages, and the thought of "dedicate yourself to death" has already been deeply rooted in his bones. If you don't let him think too much, you might as well take a knife and let him commit suicide.

When it was dark, Fang Jianming and Zhu Qiyan had a light meal in Yufu.Yu Qian had been bedridden for many days, and it was rare for him to be energetic today, so he asked the old housekeeper to bring some wine and drink with Fang Jianming.

Yu Qian drank three cups in a row, still not satisfied, Fang Jianming was afraid that if he drank too much, it would be bad for his health, so he hurriedly said: "Ge Lao, let's drink here tonight, I will live in the capital for a while, and I have plenty of time to accompany you you drink."

Yu Qian said: "Master Hou, it's rare for you to come to the capital once, how about we have another drink?"

Fang Jianming couldn't bear to refuse, nodded and said: "Okay, let's have another drink, but after drinking this one, we are not allowed to drink any more."

Yu Qian said with a smile: "Master Hou, do you treat me like a child?" When he said that, he drank the fourth glass of wine in one gulp, but after drinking it, his complexion looked a little pale.

Fang Jianming was taken aback, and was about to reach out his hand to convey his true energy, when Yu Qian shook his hand and sighed: "Master Hou, you don't need to waste your energy anymore, no one knows better than me how many days I can live."

Zhu Qiyan said sadly: "Mr. Ge, you should take a good rest for a while. Someone will take care of the affairs of the court. When you are healthy, it will not be too late to deal with political affairs."

Yu Qian chuckled, and said: "Princess, what you said is not wrong, but since I still receive the salary from the court, I can't rest." Speaking of this, he seemed to think of something, and the other party Jianming said: "Your Majesty, there is a There's something I have to tell you."

Fang Jianming said: "What's the matter?"

Yu Qian said: "The map you gave me back then. Over the past few years, I have been secretly sending people to look for places on the map. Recently, news has come that there is already a little clue. It can be as little as one month, as long as half a year. , there will definitely be news again, and I hope that Lord Hou can go to sea to search for a result."

Fang Jianming said: "Mr. Ge, I don't think this matter is the most important thing right now. The most important thing right now is that you always take care..."

Yu Qian didn't wait to continue, and said: "I know what you are going to say. Lord Hou, I will rely on you for the affairs of the court in the future, and I will also rely on you for this matter. I am telling you this matter now because I am afraid that I will not survive." At that time. Recently, I have been having frequent dreams, haunted by evil spirits, saying that my deadline is approaching. Although I don’t believe in ghosts and gods, my health is deteriorating, and I know that this is God’s final announcement to me.”
