Chapter 400 Going their separate ways
Chapter 400 Going their separate ways
Fang Weihan received the imperial edict from the Eastern Palace in the military camp.
"Your Highness asked me to lead the Eastern Palace guards to Nanjun, Jingzhou to suppress the bandits?" Fang Weihan frowned.
The ones who came to deliver the imperial edict were Luantai Beishen under Fang Tang. This army, composed entirely of women, was small in number but each one was an elite unit.
It must be said that Princess Changming, as the crown prince, was particularly attractive to female monks who wanted to make a name for themselves. In just a few months, she had recruited a group of troops who were extremely loyal to her.
"That's right. I hope Your Highness will set off immediately and not delay the opportunity to fight." The Luantai guard said respectfully.
"I understand. You can go back and report." Fang Weihan said.
"Yes!"
He put down the gold-embossed edict with a serious expression.
His own East Palace Guards had just returned from Shangjun, and their manpower had just been replenished. They had not had time to retrain, and their combat effectiveness was weak at that time.
At this juncture, it is not a wise move for Fang Tang to ask them to go south to Jingzhou to suppress the bandits.
Did she not see this? Or did she do it on purpose?
Fang Weihan didn't think that the princess was doing this out of kindness to hone the fighting power of the Eastern Palace Guards. Fang Zun appointed him as the Eastern Palace Guard, while Fang Tang, the regent, sent him out. It was hard not to think that this was a precautionary measure out of fear that he would abuse his power.
His heart ached and his hands and feet were a little cold.
Could it be that... Fang Tang didn't even have this much trust in her? Did she think that he would take away her power?
He had clearly said it so many times, but Fang Tang didn't believe a word of it and was still on guard against himself as if he were a stranger.
Fang Weihan finally experienced the pain of being a loyal minister and being hated by others.
He crumpled the edict into a ball, and with a surge of blood and energy, he turned it into ashes.
"What? Do you regret it? You asked me about this matter again and again at that time." Yun Shu said lazily.
"..." Fang Weihan was silent for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "Is there any way to help her recover her memory?"
"Absolutely impossible." Yun Shu said without thinking, "The price for her to travel to the present world is the burning of her past memories. Now that the deal has been made, how can there be any regrets?"
Fang Weihan: "..."
Looking at the silent Fang Weihan, Yun Shu asked with interest: "So you regret it?"
"These are all my own choices. There is nothing to regret," Fang Weihan said.
He needs to deal with the current situation first.
Fang Weihan planned to go to the East Palace to meet Fang Tang and see if he could persuade her to take back her decision. This matter not only involved himself, but also all the soldiers led by the East Palace Guards, so he couldn't be careless.
On the way to the East Palace, he immersed his mind in the bright moon and reed flowers.
Fang Weihan: "Yun Jiang, has your grandfather returned to Changyuan?"
After a while, Tao Yunjiang quickly replied: "Yes, my dear disciple, you are well-informed. You found out so quickly? Even I just found out."
Fang Weihan: "Fang Tang issued an imperial decree to me, asking me to take the Eastern Palace Guards to Jingzhou to replace the Changyuan Iron Guards in suppressing the bandits."
Tao Yunjiang: "?"
Xiao Jin: "?"
Xiao Jin: "No, is there something wrong with Fang Tang? The Eastern Palace guards just came back from Shangjun, and she wants to transfer them out again? Is it fun to torment people? I still call her sister."
Xie Lingwan: "Before Fang Zun left, he appointed my husband to stay in the East Palace. This may have hindered Fang Tang's monopoly on power, so she wanted to transfer her husband away."
Xie Lingwan: "It's human nature, nothing to blame."
Tao Yunjiang: "She was still chatting with us happily on New Year's Eve, but now she is stabbing me in the back. She is really shameless. Are all emperors like this?"
Xie Lingwan: "Probably."
Tao Yunjiang: "I've said it before, all emperors are not good people."
Xiao Jin: "Well, let's not talk about this matter for now. I may have to go to Luojing in the next few days. My father seems to have something that needs my help."
Tao Yunjiang: "I also want to go to Changyuan. Grandpa told me to get familiar with many things in Changyuan."
Xiao Jin: "Xie Lingwan, what about you?"
Xie Lingwan: "I'm investigating something recently and plan to stay in Changming for a few more days."
Xiao Jin: "Where's Sister Wen?"
Wen Zhexue: "I will stay with him."
Xiao Jin: "I've been waiting for Sister Wen to say this! I'll feel relieved if you can protect Brother Fang!"
The New Year has passed, and everyone has their own things to do. If it weren't for the bright moon and reed flowers, they might only have a brief chance to get together for several months.
It’s hard to meet in life…
Fang Weihan sighed, put away the Mingyue Talisman, and in front of him was the main gate of the East Palace.
He showed his Bai Ze Order and was about to go in, but was stopped by several Luantai guards at the door.
"Fang Wei, His Highness is feeling unwell today and does not wish to see any guests."
Fang Weihan paused and looked at the Luantai attendants with a faint gaze, which made them feel a little uneasy.
"Did I ever tell you that I was here to see Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
"As the commander of the Eastern Palace Guards, I have the authority to inspect the Eastern Palace. This power is granted by the Heavenly Family. Do you think... I am not worthy of it?"
Fang Weihan said sternly.
As a general who had actually fought in the battlefield, his might was definitely not something that ordinary soldiers could resist. The murderous aura that he had cultivated in the sea of blood and corpses almost frightened them to death.
"Your Highness Prince Guangling." A familiar voice sounded from behind him.
It’s Bilon.
"You guys step back first." Bilong said.
"Yes!" Several Luantai guards left quickly as if they had been pardoned.
"Is Her Royal Highness the Princess really ill?" Fang Weihan asked.
"Whether you are ill or not is not very important. Besides, Your Highness has already made up his mind, right?" Bilong said.
Fang Weihan looked at the main hall of the East Palace in the distance, and the last glimmer of hope in his heart vanished into thin air.
He has to accept a fact.
The Fang Tang in front of him was not the same person as the girl who used to call him teacher sweetly. They were two completely different individuals, and he was treating her the same way he treated the other Fang Tang.
this is not right.
They are no longer teacher and student, they are king and minister who are on guard against each other.
"I understand."
Fang Weihan sighed, his body swayed for a moment, as if all the strength in his body had been drained, and he turned and left.
Bilong watched his shadow disappear around the corner of the street, feeling very upset.
As a close minister to Fang Tang, she vaguely knew that the princess's intention might not be what Fang Weihan understood. But Fang Tang did not think of this.
Those involved are often confused, while those who are not involved can see things clearly. However, Bilong can do nothing.
She turned around, and the gate of the East Palace slowly closed behind her until it slammed shut.
After being turned away by the Eastern Palace, Fang Weihan returned to the camp in the east of the city and informed all the senior generals of the news.
"What? Going to war again?" Chen Yuxian's face was full of anger.
He slammed the table and stood up, very emotional. "Ask Princess Changming to find out. Is there any precedent for an army in the Great Zhou Dynasty to go on two consecutive expeditions within a month? What does she think of our East Palace Guards? Are they just livestock for her to drive?"
Although the other generals were not as emotional as Chen Yuxian, they obviously did not support such an imperial decree.
They are all Changming people, and their families are all in Changming City. They have just been reunited and now they have to be separated again. This is obviously unacceptable to anyone.
A large number of these generals were veterans of the Changyuan Iron Guard. They applied to Tao Yan to come to the Eastern Palace Guards, not for a job close to home? However, going out to fight every other day was contrary to their original intention.
"Yuxian, please sit down first." Fang Weihan said with a frown.
His eyes swept across the entire place, suppressing the noise in the big tent.
After the battle of Shangjun, Fang Weihan, the commander of the Eastern Palace Guards, had almost absolute prestige in the army.
"I know everyone is unwilling, but there is nothing we can do about it." Fang Weihan said, "The Changyuan Iron Guards in Jingzhou have withdrawn, but the remnants of the Demon Cult are still wreaking havoc. We must send an army to suppress them."
"Your Majesty is leading the 12 Northern Army Guards on an eastern tour. We, the Eastern Palace Guards, are the only available soldiers in Changming City. This is our mission and we have no choice but to fulfill it."
Seeing that everyone's emotions had calmed down, Fang Weihan said:
"Of course, during this expedition, I will personally pay for it, and your salaries will be increased by 30%."
All the empty talk was not as real as this last sentence. Fang Weihan could clearly feel that after he said this, the atmosphere of complaint had disappeared.
"It's still the commander who cares about his brothers." Chen Yuxian rubbed his hands and laughed.
The Eastern Palace Guards are really capable of fighting, but a strong material foundation is also essential. The imperial army, which is only formed by passion, can hardly be said to have any combat effectiveness in such a world.
Alas, fortunately there is Wanwan, otherwise how could he afford such an army?
Fang Weihan silently thanked his childhood sweetheart in his heart.
"Let everyone under you get ready, we will set off tomorrow." Fang Weihan said.
"Yes!" everyone agreed in unison.
……
Three days flew by.
Fang Weihan led the Eastern Palace Guards to march with the army and now they have arrived in Lantian. Originally, according to their marching speed, they could not move so fast, but the Eastern Palace issued several imperial edicts in succession, ordering them to speed up.
He didn't know whether the situation in Jingzhou was urgent or not, but Fang Tang definitely didn't want him to stay in Changming any longer.
Fang Weihan felt very uncomfortable in his heart, but he had no choice but to act according to Fang Tang's wishes.
At half past daybreak, the army stopped to rest. The winter scenery in Yongzhou was dull and drab, with dry fields covered with dead branches.
"Your Highness, is the story about the Jingzhou Demon Cult true?" Chen Yuxian sat down next to him and asked.
"Of course it's true, otherwise why would Her Royal Highness the Princess send us there?" Fang Weihan glanced at him.
"It's really not because of you, Wei?" Chen Yuxian asked.
He is not an ignorant young man, and he has some understanding of the current political situation in Changming.
Fang Weihan looked at him without saying anything.
"I was wrong." Chen Yuxian realized that he had said something wrong and quickly took a sip of wine as a punishment for himself.
"The main reason is that I heard that the Changyuan Iron Guards have been suppressing bandits in Jingzhou for such a long time, but those cult kids are still able to come out and jump around. It feels a bit strange." Chen Yuxian explained.
"What's so strange about this? Those members of the Demon Sect hide in the mountains at any time. Even if you catch them alive, they probably don't know where the organization is hiding."
Fang Weihan said this casually, and then paused suddenly.
He thought of something.
Not long ago, Pei Jie told him the method of making the Liuhuo Gun, and he had been worrying about where to get a stable source of turbid air.
Now it seems that the people of the Fire God Cult are not bad? If he can solve this matter, he can arm the East Palace Guards with Liuhuo Guns and lead the entire army!
He was immediately excited, but then he discovered another problem.
Pei Jie did not accompany them.
Fang Weihan stood up immediately.
"Wei Rate? What's wrong?" Chen Yuxian was confused.
"I'll go back to Changming and be back soon. You lead the army forward and wait for me in Lantian." Fang Weihan said.
"what?"
Originally, he had considered asking Xie Lingwan to arrange someone to bring Pei Jie over, but Fang Weihan felt that this was inappropriate.
Pei Jie is still theoretically an official of the imperial court. Without my presence, it would be difficult for him to put aside his trivial matters and follow me into the war.
It’s better not to trouble Wanwan, let him go there in person.
What's more, it wouldn't take him much time to get back to Changming from here.
"Senior Sister, are you there?" Fang Weihan called silently in his sea of consciousness.
"I'm here, Xiaohan."
As the moonlight shone, a beautiful girl as cool and pure as an immortal suddenly appeared in front of him, with endless joy in her starry eyes.
Wen Zhexue knew that his star was the dim sun, while hers was the blooming moon. If they met, they would be incompatible.
Wen Zhexue didn't know whether his Sun Star would revive, so she tried her best to avoid direct contact with her junior brother. She would always stay on the back of the phoenix in the clouds, silently watching her junior brother's every move.
Compared to those dark years, Wen Zhexue was already very satisfied just to see her brother from afar.
"Take me back to Changming." Fang Weihan said.
"Yes." Wen Zhexue raised her bare hand and summoned the phoenix. She calmly took his hand and climbed onto the phoenix's wings.
The holy beast flapped its wings and flew high, and in just a moment, the two of them were already thousands of feet in the sky.
The white-haired Wen Zhexue stood beside her and glanced at the two of them holding hands tightly.
"That's it?" she asked.
Wen Zhexue frowned and didn't want to pay attention to her.
"You really don't know how to cherish opportunities," she criticized.
The girl was very dissatisfied: "Then tell me, what does it mean to cherish the opportunity?"
"Isn't this easy?" She smiled. "Well... Fatty, put away your protective wind."
Wen Zhexue: "?"
Before she could react, Yumo had already done as she was told.
Fang Weihan instantly felt a strong gust of air hitting him in the face, almost knocking him off the Phoenix's back.
He was so frightened that he shuddered and subconsciously hugged Wen Zhexue's waist tightly.
The girl felt a hot body pressed against her back. Her body trembled suddenly, and two light pink clouds floated on her cheeks, as bright as the cold moon.
"What do you think, Wen Xuan? It still has to be me, your elder sister, right?" The other self was so proud that his tail was almost raised to the sky.
Wen Zhexue bit her lip lightly, with a hint of smile on her lips, but she did not deny it.
"Senior Sister, I didn't mean it!" Fang Weihan's voice was barely audible in the strong wind.
"It's okay, it's all Yumo's fault. It was too disobedient." Wen Zhexue replied via telepathy.
Yumo: "?"
