Elegy of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 414 There are always unscrupulous people who want to harm me

After more than a year's absence, Huamenlou, the largest restaurant in Wuwei City, Liangzhou, has been renovated again. Not only was the original roof lifted off and another floor was built on top, but also like the Xinghua Tower in Chang'an, a large courtyard was enclosed, allowing ordinary diners to eat on the first floor, while dignitaries could go upstairs.

Invisibly, this strong character of "overlooking all living beings" emerged.

As Fang Chongyong went upstairs, he also sighed, the sense of superiority is really a wonderful and ubiquitous thing.

The core of superiority lies in "comparison".

I don't have you, it's better if you have me, I can but you can't.

Once compared, a sense of superiority comes out.

People feel happy, which can strengthen positive encouragement and make them feel that living is more meaningful. And all happiness is obtained by comparing with people who are worse off.

This is the so-called "without comparison, there is no identification", and the same is true for the sense of superiority.

If you don’t see others doing well, how do you know you are doing well?

"Li Jieshuai has the final say on everything at today's banquet. Fang is now without an official position. The post of Hexi Jiedushi has been handed over to Li Jieshuai, and the new position has not yet been taken over.

Fang Chongyong is also a straightforward person. He doesn't do those twists and turns at all, which saves Li Guangbi a lot of time and energy.

Fang Chongyong laughed and said, dispelling many distracting thoughts in his heart with just a few words.

After the dance, the Hu Ji was about to retreat when Che Guangqian stepped forward amidst everyone's confused gazes, looked at Hu Ji's face, and said proudly: "Our Fang Jieshuai asked you to come over and propose a toast. "

The dance repertoire is also very special, it is the Zhezhi Dance originating from Zhezhi City!

It’s not strange at all, it seems like I’ve seen it too many times!
That Hu Ji didn't have stage fright at all, maybe because she had seen many similar situations. She stepped forward, knelt down in front of Fang Zhongyong's desk, and skillfully poured him wine.

After everyone sat down, Fang Chongyong looked around and found that most of the heads of the Hexi frontier army were there. In addition to them, there were Fang Chongyong and several generals of the Yinqian Xiaojie Army.

Since you can no longer gain happiness and superiority from comparison, why should you still work hard?

Seeing this, Fang Chongyong waved to Che Guangqian who was as motionless as a stone figure behind him, whispered a few words in his ear, and then lowered his head to eat the food, not bothering to look at the dancer again.

"Jie Shuai, today the Huamen Tower has been reserved. There are people from Chishui Army and Yinqian Xiaojie Army inside and outside. It is absolutely safe."

Fang Chongyong complained in his heart.

"Then Yushi Fang must have fun today."

"You're thinking too much, just let the commander in chief take the seat, don't be restrained."

Only then did he realize that Wang Zhongsi had a good eye for choosing his son-in-law.

"It's okay. I haven't eaten grapes from Liangzhou for a long time. I'm just feeling a little sad."

Soon, local dishes that made Fang Chongyong feel familiar and friendly were served on the table, which were rarely seen in Shiguo. The culture of the Central Plains in Liangzhou is very strong, and the dishes are also exquisite in shape, which is not as "simple" as those in the Western Regions.

This made Fang Chongyong feel that he had finally returned to the Tang Dynasty. It's a bit like an overseas traveler returning home, but slightly different.

A red blanket rolled directly from the door, and the musician banged the drum three times! A graceful dancer wearing a colorful red dress walked alone, dancing to the sound of unique drums.

This dance is very special, it is a solo dance by an Orchid.

Let’s just talk about romance, hahahahaha, today I’ll just talk about romance! "

Li Guangbi asked with some confusion when he saw that Fang Chongyong, who was sitting closest to him, stopped moving his chopsticks after taking a mouthful of grapes.

Indeed, this is a welcome feast.

All the generals of the Hexi Frontier Army watched with interest, while the generals of the Silver Spear Xiaojie Army showed disapproval.

He called Fang Chongyong "Fang Yushi" because the other party still held the empty post of Yushi doctor. In fact, Fang Chongyong's current identity is only the envoy of the Silver Spear Xiaojie Army, and his rank is far lower than that of Li Guangbi.

After a while, the dancing Hu Ji and the musicians from the Western Regions also arrived.

Che Guangqian came close to Fang Chongyong and whispered.

They are also two completely different styles and tastes from grapes from the Western Regions.

There are many absurd and correct truths in the world.

"Is it possible that the food does not suit Yushi Fang's taste?"

Fang Chongyong waved his hand and said indifferently. He knew that this was Che Guangqian's occupational disease.

Upon hearing this, everyone at the table showed an ambiguous smile known to all men, and then laughed with the people next to them.

Hu Ji, who had a very girlish appearance and a very hot figure, noticed that Fang Chongyong was looking at her, smiled slightly, and then gave her a seductive look.

Li Guangbi nodded slightly, very reserved, and it was not easy to show that the other party Chongyong was too enthusiastic in public.

Fang Chongyong responded casually.

It’s funny, this is Wuwei City in Liangzhou! Where are you looking for an assassin?
Who is the mastermind and who is being assassinated?
It's all a disloyal thing to harm me.

In addition to those dishes, the Liangzhou grapes in season have large fruits, thin skins, and delicious taste. One bite will fill your mouth with juice.

Li Guangbi clapped his hands. He had achieved his goal and there was no need to say those polite words.

Therefore, relative fairness can create more "ascending channels"; while absolute fairness will only lead to absolute rigidity, and then continuously reduce the quality of life of everyone, leaving everyone flat.

If Li Guangbi calls Fang Chongyong "General Fang", it would be a form of suppression. Fang Chongyong gave him face, he definitely couldn't do such a thing.

"What Fang Yushi said is true. Bring us all the singing, dancing, wine and food!"

Only Fang Chongyong frowned and stared at Hu Ji's dance steps.

While pouring the wine, the woman complained sweetly: "General, you just scared the slave to death!"

Her voice was soft and charming, which not only made everyone present imagine how she would sing loudly in bed later.

That must be beautiful!
As expected, Fang Zhongyong squinted at the young and beautiful Hu Ji, and grabbed one of the other's little hands, held it with both hands, and kept stroking it obscenely.

"My little lady dances Zhezhi Dance as beautifully as a fairy. How many years have you been practicing? You must have been practicing very hard. Have you ever thought about living a better life somewhere else?"

He looked like a pig brother who had never seen the world, and he wanted to take off the other party's dance skirt on the spot.

This is no longer a hint, but an unabashed request.

"General, I have been practicing zhezhi dance since I was five years old. You squeezed me so much that it hurts. Today is the first time we have met. I am afraid that I will not be able to serve you well, General."

Although the dancer in front of Fang Chongyong had a hint of complaint in her words, her every frown and smile were indescribably attractive.

It's hard to fake that kind of coquettishness. I can only say that this person really understands men.

Not being served well?
No, no, no, it doesn't matter if you say it. You won't know until you have an "interview" in bed.

There was no fool present and already understood what Fang Chongyong wanted to do.

Fang Chongyong stood up with a smile and whispered instructions to Che Guangqian. The latter left in a hurry, and it took him almost only a short time to go up and down the stairs before he brought up a young woman who was covered with a veil and had a very good figure.

With long brown hair and blue eyes, she is obviously an Orchid.

After the woman went upstairs, she saw Fang Chongyong at first sight, and her eyes were filled with joy.

But what Fang Chongyong wants to do is obviously not ordinary.

Just when Hu Ji was stunned when she was dancing the Zhezhi Dance, the two guards of the Silver Spear Xiaojie Army behind Che Guangqian pounced on her like wolves and tigers, and tied her up!
Li Guangbi didn't say a word, just watched Fang Chongyong's performance calmly.

"Your acting skills are very good, but there are some things that your acting skills can't make up for."

Fang Chongyong patted the tightly tied Hu Ji with his heavy palms, leaving a light red mark on her delicate and pretty face. His eyes were full of coldness.

He turned around, put on a smiling face, and said to Jinskiya, who was covering his face: "Let the generals see what zhezhi dance is."

After saying that, he stuffed a piece of rag into the dancer's mouth to prevent her from biting her tongue and committing suicide.

Soon, the music unique to the Stone Kingdom played by the musicians of the Silver Spear Xiaojie Army rang out in the hall.

Jinskaya sang and danced the zhezhi dance.

"Who sent you to me? It was the round bright moon, the bright moon,

It's the gurgling mountain spring, it's the gurgling mountain spring, it's the gurgling mountain spring, mountain spring.

......"

Everyone gradually became fascinated and finally understood why Fang Chongyong had just launched an attack.

This is Zhezhi dance!
The zhezhi dance danced by the Orchid just now was just tangible but not spiritual, so it was no problem to coax a layman to watch the fun.

Once compared with a master, he immediately shows a clumsy clown-like attitude and makes a judgment.

After Jinsi Kaiya finished dancing, the other party Zhongyong gave a very subtle wink, conveying an obscene meaning that only the two of them understood, and exited the hall like butterflies.

"Are you convinced?"

Fang Chongyong looked at the Hu Ji and asked with a joking look on his face.

Seeing that the other party was still holding on, he didn't even talk to her.

Fang Chongyong continued to ask in a solemn tone: "A dancer has been learning Zhezhi dance since she was five years old, and she dances like this. Should you spend your time dancing, or practicing sword practice? The calluses on the tiger's mouth are bigger than mine. Duhou, you are actually good at killing people, right?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present was horrified.

Li Guangbi stepped forward in surprise, looked at Fang Chongyong and asked: "Fang Yushi, what did you just say..."

"A certain person came to Liangzhou by chance. He just arrived today. He couldn't have come for me.

If I guessed correctly, she is most likely here to kill you! "

Fang Chongyong pointed at the Hu Ji and said sternly.

"Everyone, there are some things to deal with today, so let's all be dismissed. If there is anything that offends me, Li will invite you another day."

Li Guangbi issued an eviction order to clear the place. Except for He Changqi and others and Li Guangbi's personal soldiers, everyone else filed out, each with their own thoughts.

Originally, Li Guangbi was parachuted here by the imperial court to serve as the governor of Hexi Province. Many people were dissatisfied with him, and many people thought that he was clinging to Wang Zhongsi's lap and did not have much real ability.

But now, Fang Chongyong said that there was a Hu Ji who wanted to assassinate Li Guangbi.

The water here is really deep!
The people from An's family in Liangzhou have deep roots in the local area and have been in business for more than a hundred years. Could it be that they did it?

Or was it someone behind the scenes who encouraged others to take action?

Or was it arranged by Fang Chongyong? Although this possibility is extremely small, it does not rule out that it is intentional acting!
The water was suddenly mixed! Who dares to get involved easily? There is no way to hide!
Let's slip away first as a courtesy!
The guests who were laughing just now ran faster than rabbits!
"search!"

Fang Chongyong ordered Che Guangqian.

"Order!"

Che Guangqian groped around on the Hu Ji for a while, and sure enough, she found an extremely small Tang knife made like a work of art inside the long leather boots!
Li Guangbi's pupils suddenly shrank!
He was originally just doubtful of Fang Chongyong's words, but which dancer would hide a Tang knife in her boots?

This is probably a stone hammer!

"You have just arrived in Hexi and have not yet established a stable foothold. It is better to leave this girl to someone else. In the future, you must pay attention to the people around you to prevent her from becoming an elbow."

Fang Chongyong said to Li Guangbi in a deep voice.

"There is no way to repay a life-saving favor, but no words of thanks for a great favor!"

Li Guangbi cupped his fists and saluted without saying too much nonsense.

In fact, Fang Chongyong could investigate this matter, but it was not convenient for him. Those who knew thought he was investigating assassins, while those who didn't knew thought he was trying to deal with the local tycoons headed by the An family of Liangzhou.

No matter how Li Guangbi handles it, it is not appropriate. It is better to leave it to an outsider like Fang Chongyong.

……

"It's been a long time since I've been to Liangzhou. When I come, I want to bring a woman back. Alas."

In a certain wing of the post house, Anaye was muttering to Fang Chongyong while pulling away the rag from the mouth of the assassin Hu Ji. Of course she knew it wouldn't be that kind of thing, because the woman was tied up tightly, almost like a rice dumpling.

"You take a few steps back, she is very powerful, her calluses are thicker than mine."

Fang Chongyong said with a cautious expression.

Unexpectedly, the assassin couldn't help but taunted: "Everyone said that Fang Youde's son Fang Chongyong was an indomitable hero. He led troops to attack thousands of miles, comparable to Huo Qubing who was a wolf living in Xu. It turned out that he was afraid of a weak woman. Gotta die."

She knew she couldn't survive, so she just opened her mouth.

"Is there that kind of medicine that won't kill you after you take it, but it will cause ulcers all over your body, making life worse than death?"

Fang Chongyong ignored that person's remarks, but looked at Anaye and asked.

"That kind of medicine is not available everywhere. I can make dozens of prescriptions for you."

Anaye said with disdain.

Although doctors are there to save people, if they want to kill people, they have many other options. It's a medicine that contains three parts of poison. If you use certain prescriptions in different ways, you can easily kill people without being noticed.

"Tell me, who sent you here. Otherwise, you will wait for your whole body to fester, and your life will be worse than death."

Fang Chongyong asked with a cold face.

"Hmph, it's useless. You're going to die anyway. Whatever means you have, just use them."

The assassin said harshly.

Seeing the other party's resolute attitude, Fang Chongyong suddenly thought of a possibility. These days, some religions in the Western Regions also have self-hypnosis "techniques". If this assassin wanted to keep the secret, there was really no way he could do it.

"Do you think I really can't do anything to you?"

Fang Chongyong asked curiously.

The female assassin said with disdain: "We have all been trained. It would be boring if Fang Jieshuai shows mercy."

"So, with your little brain, you really can't understand what strategy is."

Fang Chongyong shook his head in disappointment.

"After half an hour, you will know how powerful I am."

After saying that, Fang Chongyong took a quick rag and blocked the assassin's mouth.

This person still refuses to commit suicide, probably because he is sure that someone will help him!

People like them are mostly professional assassins who get paid to do things, rather than domestic soldiers.

Fang Chongyong already had a decision in his mind.
