girl let me check

Chapter 444 Let me join the group!

Under the warm welcome of the Changyuan Iron Guard, Fang Xun led the armies of the Western Regions into Guyuan City. He himself met Fang Tang with a group of generals.

After some questioning, Fang Weihan and others finally understood the general situation.

In the south of Tianfang Town, the foreign army was retreating along the long river when it happened to be encountered by the Western Region reinforcements led by Fang Xun.

The Western Regions army was formed by gathering together many foreign nations. The foreign races had long coveted the trade routes controlled by the Western Regions countries, and they still had spare strength to eye the north. Shule, Qiuci and other countries did not dare to send out all their troops, so the total number of reinforcements this time was only 40,000.

If it was a direct battle, these 40,000 people would naturally not be a match for the 100,000 alien main forces. But fortunately, they encountered the remnants of the defeated aliens.

Fang Xun was very good at military affairs. He had fought under Tao Yan in Changyuan in his early years. Naturally, he would not miss this God-given opportunity and immediately ordered the armies of the Western Regions to launch a surprise attack. As a sixth-level peak Qi control expert who was good at attacking and killing, Fang Xun launched a surprise attack when the battle started and killed the severely injured Dugu Ju with one sword.

As a result, the battle turned into a complete rout of the alien army. More than 10,000 people were beheaded and 3,000 were captured. The remaining aliens were unable to fight again and had to retreat back to the depths of the northern desert.

At this point, the hidden dangers in the empire's northwestern border were completely resolved in a short period of time.

That night, a grand celebration banquet was held in the ruins of Guyuan.

The Han people in the Central Plains sang the Song of Emperor Wu's Breaking the Formation, and the soldiers in the Western Regions played instruments shaped like flutes, with melodious and passionate tunes floating over the bonfire. Saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, the pain faded away, and everyone was cherishing this hard-earned short relaxation.

"You didn't see it, what a pity..." Fang Xun talked while sitting by the campfire.

A circle of people surrounded him. Soldiers, foremen, and even high-ranking officers of the third rank of garrison commanders listened with great interest, nodding from time to time.

Fang Weihan leaned over to listen and found out that it was Fang Xun bragging again.

"I only drew my sword once, and I saw a flash of sword light. In a split second, the head of Dugu Ju fell off..."

No wonder he can get along with Mr. Zhao and Chen Yuxian.

"Really? His Royal Highness the King of Hedong is so powerful?" an old veteran asked with a smile.

"Don't you think so?" Fang Xun patted a Western Region general who was wearing a felt hat. He nodded quickly with respect on his face.

"King of Hedong, all right." He gestured and spoke, looking somewhat funny, which made the people around him laugh.

Fang Xun kicked him, looking a little embarrassed: "Go away, you're just embarrassing me."

Everyone burst into laughter again.

Fang Xun walked out of the crowd carrying a jar of wine, and when he saw Fang Weihan, he walked towards him.

"Nephew, would you like one?" Fang Xun lifted up the jar of wine.

Fang Weihan clinked glasses with him and drank it all in one gulp.

The two chatted and stopped at a secluded place.

Fang Weihan paused for a moment and said, "Did you know about Fourth Uncle's plan in advance?"

Fang Xun took a sip of wine and casually leaned his sword against his chest.

"I know." Fang Xun said.

"Has he already decided to sacrifice himself?"

"Yes." Fang Xun said calmly while drinking.

The lonely light of the desert shone on his chiseled face, like the moon shining through the vast mountains and rivers.

"The people of the Great Zhou have lost their faith in the emperor. He has no choice but to die as a proof."

Fang Xun smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Don't you think this is ridiculous? He was forced to death by the overwhelming public opinion, but he expected us to protect this family empire on his behalf."

Fang Weihan remained silent.

Fang Xun and Fang Zun are half-brothers, born to Emperor Yuan Fang Tu. They have been close since childhood. Fang Zun doesn't trust anyone, but he trusts him very much. He tells him all his plans and gives him the crucial task of contacting the Western Regions.

Now that Fang Zun has passed away, Fang Xun must be feeling very uncomfortable.

"Being an emperor... is so pitiful."

Fang Xun took another sip of wine.

"You're really not as good as me. At least he can go to brothels and listen to music. Do you think Fang Zun has ever been there even once in his life?"

Fang Weihan almost couldn't breathe.

He changed the subject and brought up something more important: "Is there something wrong with my background?"

"Background? Is there a problem?" Fang Xun looked at him blankly.

Fang Weihan took out the last letter Fang Xun wrote to him and showed him the blank part on it.

"Fourth Uncle would never speak without a purpose. I suspect this part must have been blocked by the law of cause and effect, so it has not been displayed." Fang Weihan said in a deep voice.

"Tsk...what you said does make some sense. He doesn't seem like the kind of person who would joke with you." Fang Xun agreed with his opinion.

"But I really don't know what's wrong with your background. I've watched you grow up, so what could be wrong with it?" Fang Xun was puzzled, "Could it be that... you are not your father's biological child?"

"..." Fang Weihan was silent for a moment, "Second Uncle, you are such a loser."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Fang Xun was furious. "Even if there is something wrong with your background, I am a grown man, how can you let me hear such gossip?"

It seemed that he really didn't know, so Fang Weihan didn't dwell on this issue any further.

He drank a few more cups with Fang Xun before saying goodbye, and prepared to see what was going on with Tao Yunjiang and Fang Tang.

Fang Weihan searched around the huge campfire site but couldn't find the two people. It was not until he finally found Tao Yunjiang's residence that he sensed their presence.

Fang Weihan walked to the door and heard a voice coming from inside.

"Your Majesty, you really don't have to do this." Tao Yunjiang's voice was a little embarrassed, "This is too much trouble for you."

"This is what I should do. It's not a big deal." Fang Tang said with a smile, "And I've already told you, Yun Jiang, just call me sister. You don't have to call me Your Majesty. We are a family."

"But I..." Tao Yunjiang's voice became even more difficult.

"Ah... open your mouth."

When Fang Weihan pushed the door open, he saw Tao Yunjiang leaning against the bed, while Fang Tang was feeding him with a bowl and chopsticks.

He was dumbfounded and thought it was because of his own eyesight. Since when did he, the emperor's student, start to take care of others?

"Royal brother, you are here." Fang Tang turned around and smiled at him gently.

He felt uncomfortable hearing this long-lost name.

Tao Yunjiang lying on the bed looked as if she had been pardoned. She looked at him for help, looking pitiful.

Fang Weihan sat down at the table and asked curiously:
"What is your Majesty doing?"

"Yun Jiang injured her right hand, making it inconvenient for her to eat. In this huge Guyuan city, there isn't even a maid with nimble hands and feet, so I come to feed her." Fang Tang said with a smile.

Tao Yunjiang pouted slightly and blinked at him pitifully from a perspective that Fang Tang couldn't see.

He understood what she meant: "Get this annoying emperor away quickly."

"Yun Jiang is also very lucky." Fang Weihan pretended not to notice Tao Yun Jiang's hint, "Ordinary people can't enjoy the honor of being fed by His Majesty himself."

Tao Yunjiang opened his eyes wide and looked at him in disbelief.

Fang Tang laughed happily: "Yun Jiang is not an outsider!"

"Ah, open your mouth..." She stuffed another spoonful of porridge in.

Seeing that struggling was futile and Fang Weihan refused to help her, Tao Yunjiang simply gave up.

"Your Majesty, I want to drink." Tao Yunjiang said.

"No!" These were two unanimous rejections. Fang Weihan and Fang Tang looked at each other with inexplicable expressions.

"Why not? We clearly won the battle!" Tao Yunjiang felt aggrieved.

"Your body hasn't fully recovered yet. You can only drink porridge instead of alcohol," Fang Weihan criticized.

"Yun Jiang, be obedient. As my general, keeping healthy is the most important thing!" Fang Tang smiled with his eyes narrowed while holding the porridge spoon.

"you……"

Tao Yunjiang looked at Fang Weihan, then at Fang Tang, and felt that the two people with the surname Fang were really cut from the same mold.

"Just a little drink, okay?" Tao Yunjiang discussed in a low voice, "I haven't had a drink in a long, long time."

Fang Weihan's smile froze slightly.

Looking at the girl in front of him who was obviously a little depressed, he knew that she was thinking about Tao Yan.

It has been two months since the Battle of Huaiyuan, but the whereabouts of Grand Commandant Tao Yan have not been found. Although Tao Yunjiang has gradually accepted the fact that his grandfather died in the battle, there is still a glimmer of hope.

"Just drink a little." Fang Weihan breathed a sigh of relief.

Fang Tang naturally would not object to anything the teacher proposed. She took the wine jar on the table beside her, tore open the mud seal, and poured half a cup for the girl.

"That's all, no more." Fang Tang reminded, "After all, your shoulder injury hasn't healed yet. When you're healed, I'll drink with you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Tao Yunjiang said with a little gratitude.

Fang Weihan was still lamenting that Yun Jiang was so easy to deceive. He was bribed by Fang Tang in just two days.

The Mingyue Talisman vibrated.

He silently lifted a corner of his robe to cover himself and looked inside.

Tao Yunjiang: "What kind of magic potion did you feed her? Why do I feel like she is always trying to please me? I am almost about to forgive her!"

Tao Yunjiang: "Hurry, hurry, get her away!"

Fang Weihan: "..."

He decided to take back what he had said before, Yun Jiang had made some progress.

Fang Weihan was about to reply when he caught a glimpse of Fang Tang from the corner of his eye. He put down his clothes as if nothing had happened, and saw the little queen looking at him with a pitiful and heartbroken look.

Although she didn't say anything, Fang Weihan seemed to hear the girl say:

"Teacher, what are you talking about behind my back? Do you think... I don't deserve to hear it?"

Fang Weihan inexplicably felt that the gravity on his body had increased a little, making it difficult for him to breathe.

In fact, although the two of them were extremely careful, they still couldn't hide from Fang Tang's perception. With the blessing of luck, the girl saw their movements clearly.

Fang Tang bit her pink lips, put down the porcelain bowl in her hand neither lightly nor heavily, and grabbed Tao Yunjiang's clothes.

"Yun Jiang..."

"Ah?" Tao Yunjiang, who was questioning Fang Weihan why he didn't reply to the message, was startled.

But she quickly covered up her panic and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I'm here."

"Have I done something wrong recently?"

Fang Tang was in a low mood and asked seriously.

"No, Your Majesty, why do you ask that?" Tao Yunjiang was obviously at a loss.

How should she respond to this?
In her opinion, let alone the emperor, even those high-ranking young ladies from aristocratic families would rarely ask such questions sincerely, right?

"If I have done anything wrong, Yun Jiang, you must point it out." Fang Tang said softly, "As long as it is Yun Jiang's suggestion, I will listen to it."

What does Fang Tang mean by this?
Tao Yunjiang was made somewhat uneasy by her: "Your Majesty has done nothing wrong, and I don't need to give you any advice."

Fang Weihan sighed silently.

Yun Jiang fell into the trap.

As expected, Fang Tang's next sentence was: "Why did Yun Jiang whisper with the emperor's brother in front of me? Did she think that I was an outsider and couldn't listen to these things?"

The little queen's eyes turned red, and she looked like she was being bullied but still stubbornly holding on, which made Tao Yunjiang feel very uncomfortable.

By doing this, Fang Tang seemed to be the bad person who bullied the child.

In fact, Tao Yunjiang is now feeling a little helpless.

Why is this emperor like this... He doesn't look like an emperor at all. He is completely different from before!
"No, no, I didn't whisper to him." Tao Yunjiang quickly denied it.

"Then what is this?" Fang Tang pulled out a reed wreath from under her quilt.

She had planned it in advance, but Tao Yunjiang was in an inconvenient position and was careless for a moment and failed to stop her.

"This is..." Tao Yunjiang stammered and looked at Fang Weihan for help again.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, we were indeed talking in private just now." Fang Weihan said, "Yun Jiang asked me if I could find a way to give her some more wine. She didn't drink enough."

"Oh, don't drink." Fang Tang's expression eased a little, which made Tao Yunjiang breathe a sigh of relief.

"This thing is called Mingyue Luhua, right? I have seen this thing in royal books. It comes from Yunkai Peak of Xiaoyao Sect." The little queen said thoughtfully.

Didn't I tell you that? Fang Weihan was speechless.

"Your Majesty is truly knowledgeable." Tao Yunjiang felt a little guilty because he was caught chatting just now, so he could only say something nice.

"I remember there should be six reed wreaths..." Fang Tang muttered softly.

Tao Yunjiang suddenly felt something was wrong.

She saw Fang Tang looking at her with pleading eyes: "Yun Jiang, can you give me one of these reed wreaths as well? This way it will be much easier for me to contact you and my brother if I have any problems in the future."

"This……"

Tao Yunjiang looked at Fang Weihan, only to see him looking at the ceiling, pretending to be dead.

The girl gritted her teeth and could only say:
"Your Majesty, you have to ask Fang Weihan. After all, he is the owner of the bright moon reed flowers."

Fang Tang immediately turned his head when he heard this: "Royal brother, do you agree?"

There was a mist in the girl's eyes, as if she would cry for a long time on the spot if Fang Weihan disagreed.

The gravity on his body seemed to have become even heavier. Being looked at by her with such a sad and mournful gaze, Fang Weihan didn't dare to say a word of objection.

"Your Majesty has ordered me to do so. Of course I agree."

Tao Yunjiang was stunned, her pink lips slightly parted, obviously extremely surprised.

No way... My good disciple actually agreed? But aren't all the girls in the group of bright moon and reed flowers... aren't all...

When she was daydreaming, she saw Fang Tang looking at her again.

"He agreed." The little queen tugged at her hand, her eyes full of anticipation.

"Your Majesty, this... Even if I agree, I still have to see what the other person thinks."

"Who?" Fang Tang certainly had the answer in his mind.

"The eldest daughter of the Chenjun Xie family, Xie Lingwan." Tao Yunjiang said.

"Oh...it's Ling Wan. Does she also have a reed wreath?" Fang Tang pretended to be suddenly enlightened, and then said with some concern:

"Come to think of it, Ling Wan should be very busy right now, right? The situation is critical, I wonder how she is doing..."
