After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

Xu Zhenying thought for a while and said, "I will write to Feng'er and ask her to bribe a few bandits to set up her own company and raise the banner of rebellion against the king. The same is true here. The war in Qianzhou is the best soil for rebellion. You Send some people to gather the refugees, and you also hold high the banner of rebellion. In this way, rebellion will spread everywhere, and we will be inconspicuous among them, and it can also buy us some time to develop."

Jiang Yongkang nodded, "We can also train the gathered bandits, and when the time is right, bring them back to Lan County to strengthen our army."

Jiang Yongkang couldn't help but smile bitterly after he said this, "I have changed from a rebel leader to a bandit leader."

Xu Zhenying also laughed. She patted Jiang Yongkang comfortingly, but her tone was as close as an old friend, "Come on, I am a girl after all. You have to know how I feel every time someone calls me the King of the Mountain. We are In the early days of starting a business, everyone has to wear multiple hats. Look at Fang Xun, if I asked him to raise pigs, wouldn't he be successful at it?"

Jiang Yongkang could only smile helplessly, but he could only nod, "Of course it is. No one can work as hard as the city lord, and I am willing to be a pawn. But from now on, I will run on both sides for a long time, and there are a few good ones. I can't trust Mo Jinchun, Da Zhuang I have already accompanied the eldest son to the south. Ming Xiaoshuang can only force it, but he is still not strong enough. Then who should I leave the city lord's protection to?"

Xu Zhenying was about to speak, but Jiang Yongkang said without any doubt: "City Lord, your safety is the top priority, and a gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall, so don't say that you don't want to protect him anymore. We still have another day." There are big things to do, and your life is more important than mine!"

Xu Zhenying was stunned, knowing that what Jiang Yongkang said was reasonable, so she had to give in, "Why don't we pick a few politically strong players from the military camp?"

Jiang Yongkang did not answer, as if he was thinking about candidates, "Before I leave, I must give the city lord an answer."

------------------

Xu Zhenying specially set aside half a day the next day to visit Mr. Fang with a large bag and a small bag.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked into the Fang family's yard, he saw the Fang family packing their luggage. The yard was empty, even the orchids at the door had been given away. There were pots, pans, books, clothes, etc. in the yard. It's like traveling a long distance.

Everyone in the Fang family was busy back and forth. The first person to see her was Fang Siniang. She eagerly shouted to everyone: "The city lord is here!"

Xu Zhenying walked into the house, looked at the luggage piled in the center of the yard, and couldn't help but ask: "Are you leaving?"

However, Fang Xun and Fang Ningmo were already walking quickly, their expressions seemed very unnatural. Before Xu Zhenying could open his mouth to ask, Mr. Fang had already walked out, "Sixth girl is here?"

Mr. Fang never seemed to call her City Lord, he would either call her by name or call her Liu Yatou.

Xu Zhenying pretended not to see the luggage in the hospital, only responded, and said: "Forgive me, I am supposed to come to visit last night, but I chatted with the doctors in the city for a long time last night. When I came back, I saw that the old man was already here." If you go to sleep, you won’t be disturbed.”

"Doctors?" Mr. Fang stroked his beard, "But you want to build a medical school?"

Xu Zhenying glanced at Fang Xun subconsciously.

But Mr. Fang smiled and said, "Don't blame our boy for letting slip. It was when I was wandering around Lan County that I saw you leaving an open space, so I asked a few more questions."

Xu Zhenying said: "That's exactly it."

"The medical building has been built, which is a good thing." Mr. Fang said a few polite words, and regardless of Fang Xun's begging eyes, he waved to Xu Zhenying, "Come here, girl, let's go to the study to talk. Fang Xun, Ningmo Come too."

"Hey."

Xu Zhenying agreed, and then followed Mr. Fang into the house.

She also pulled Fang Ningmo and asked, "Why don't you see Fang Ruyu?"

Fang Ningmo said: "My grandfather knew about my sister's escape. He got very angry and ordered her to stay in the house and copy books for a month before she could come out."

Xu Zhenying was puzzled: "Isn't it already a month?"

Fang Ningmo sighed, "My sister is arrogant and arrogant. She has never been punished so severely by an elder in her life. She feels like she can't hold her head up. She is locked in the house all day long and refuses to show herself to others."

Xu Zhenying shook his head and sighed: "Why is this necessary?"

When the group of people walked into the house, Fang Ningmo first poured tea for Xu Zhenying, and then said: "The house is simple, the city lord will take care of it."

Not crude.

Xu Zhenying looked over and saw that almost the entire Fang family was almost empty. It was obvious that he was planning to leave Lan County.

Mr. Fang was sitting at the head of the table. When he saw Xu Zhenying looking around, he knew that he could not hide it from her, so he simply opened the skylight and said frankly, "Sixth girl, my boy and girl are both thin-skinned and embarrassed to speak. My old man is not afraid. Today As for my son, let me tell you, because of Prince Ming's matter, I thought about it and decided that I still can't stay here, so as not to inconvenience everyone. Now that the household registration has been re-registered, we will no longer have low status in the future, so we are ready. Pack your things and find a place to settle down. I have already asked them to communicate with you in advance, but these two people... I'm afraid they haven't mentioned it to you, right?"

Fang Xun and Fang Ningmo had a look of shame on their faces, but there was also a hint of unwillingness.

Xu Zhenying had already expected that the Fang family would have this idea, but he didn't expect Mr. Fang to act so quickly.

Naturally, she refused to let the Fang family leave.

Fang Xun and Fang Ningmo are now her right-hand men, and she even wants to bring Mr. Fang in.

Mr. Fang has been through three generations of the Zhou Dynasty and has rich experience in officialdom. If Mr. Fang is willing to help, she will get twice the result with half the effort.

But she also knew in her heart that even if Prince Ming wanted to kill the Fang family, it would not shake Mr. Fang's loyalty and patriotism.

The ancients were loyal to their emperor, and Mr. Fang was unwilling to treason even if he was afraid of death.

But now that all the emperors of the Zhou Dynasty were dead, she really wanted to try to pry the corners of the wall to see if she could shake the giant Buddha of Mr. Fang.

Xu Zhenying had no choice but to say: "Why are Mr. Fang so anxious? Although the weather has gotten warmer and the ice and snow have melted, the bandits on the road have not been eliminated. How can you, the whole family, travel a long distance across mountains and rivers?"

"Girl Xu Liu, there is no need to worry. I have already found a few skilled young people in Lan County and they will escort them. As long as we leave Jinzhou Mansion, the road will be peaceful."

Xu Zhenying shook his head and sighed, hesitating to speak, "Mr. Fang, let me tell you the truth, even if you leave Jinzhou Mansion, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to travel a long distance."

"how do I say this?"

"Lan County is located in a remote area and has limited hearing and vision. I only got the news last night." Xu Zhenying was a little unsure. She was still a little afraid that the old man would not be able to bear the news, but she had to say, "Something happened to the court!"

Mr. Fang looked at Xu Zhenying's solemn expression, and his heart beat a beat faster. Ever since he knew that Zhu Ci had sent a letter of rescue to the vassal kings and attracted all the vassal kings to the capital, Mr. Fang had always felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart. At this moment This uneasiness reached its peak in an instant!

"Mr. Fang, you..."

Seeing Xu Zhenying hesitating, Mr. Fang became anxious and slapped the table: "What happened, you should tell me quickly! But someone rebelled again? Or did Prince Ming attack Bianjing City?"

"Don't be anxious. You must have had a hunch before that when the various vassal kings come to the capital, they will definitely make a big fuss."

"Just tell me." Mr. Fang covered his chest and turned a little pale. "I can bear it. To be honest, I had a premonition, but I just didn't know what kind of trouble they would get into."

"Okay. Prince Duan arrived in Bianjing first, and brought with him personal and material evidence to prove that the emperor was not the former emperor's biological son, but the son of the empress and a guard. Now Zhu Ci has been beheaded, the empress has been executed, and the little emperor's palace has been destroyed by heaven. The fire burned a sophisticated light, and later the people of the palace found only one corpse. Now the hall is not allowed to be a prince for who is the prince. "" Grandfather! "

Fang Ningmo yelled. It turned out that Mr. Fang almost lost his breath after hearing this and almost fainted.

Xu Zhenying felt deeply guilty and hurriedly went to help. Mr. Fang grabbed her wrist with all his strength and asked word by word: "Are you serious?"

Xu Zhenying nodded, "The people I sent out to find out the news came back and reported to me that this matter has been spread in Jinzhou Mansion. It should be true."

"Heaven is going to destroy my great Zhou Dynasty——"

Mr. Fang burst into tears, like the last cry of a dying man.

Fang Xun supported Mr. Fang, but he couldn't hide the joy on his face. He had followed Xu Zhenying for a few months, broadening his horizons and broadening his mind. He was no longer the idiot who only read books about sages. Although he admired his grandfather, But in my heart, I also felt that my grandfather's loyalty was more like foolish loyalty.

Fang Xun couldn't control what he was thinking at this moment, "Grandpa, why are you so sad for his Zhou family? The Zhou family are all ruthless people. They press on us step by step and even want to kill us." , and then use our corpses to rebel, and let our Fang family bear the responsibility of causing harm to the country and the people. Let’s talk about Zhou Heng, who keeps saying that he wants to avenge his cousin, but has he ever thought that doing so will only make our Fang family take turns? What a joke! Our Fang family has been loyal for generations, but in the end we are going to be the cause of this troubled world. From now on, every one of us in the Fang family will be infamous in the history books, and the descendants of the Fang family will never be able to hold their heads up! Grandpa! , you are loyal to the Zhou family, but the Zhou family wants to kill you, even the corpses will be used - "

Mr. Fang was heartbroken. He roared to the sky, his voice was mournful, and his voice was sad, "If you want me to die, I have to die!"

Fang Ningmo said: "Grandpa, I don't want to die!"

Fang Xun said: "Grandpa, we don't want to die. I'm still so young. I finally came to this world. I haven't made any achievements yet. I haven't realized my personal value. I haven't..."

When Fang Xun said this, there was a hint of uncontrollable unwillingness in his voice, "I want to see how the pigs I raise grow to two hundred pounds in half a year. When spring comes, I also want to help the people of Lan County. Compost cultivation; I also want to wait for the chickens in the chicken pen to lay eggs, so that the children in Lan County can eat an egg every day. Grandpa, I just discovered that my life has a little value, but you want us to die, how can you Be patient——"

Fang Ningmo also cried.

Mr. Fang was completely devastated and just stared at Fang Ningmo, "What about you? Do you think so too?"

"Grandfather..." Fang Ningmo cried so hard, "My granddaughter doesn't want to leave Lan County. If she leaves here, she will only be able to close the door, embroider and read books, and wait for you to arrange a good husband for me." Jun, and then she was trapped in the square world of the back house day after day. My granddaughter didn’t want to live that kind of life. She had just seen this vast world, and she didn’t want to be trapped in one place for the rest of her life... Here, My granddaughter can walk around like a man, she can handle government affairs like a man, and she won’t be judged when she walks outside. Grandpa, my granddaughter’s grades in the intermediate literacy class have always been among the best, and she is better than many men. My granddaughter wants to prove it. Women are no worse than men. My granddaughter...is unwilling!!"

"Okay... okay... one by one..." Mr. Fang turned to look at Xu Zhenying, with a look of resentment in his eyes, "Xu Zhenying, you are so clever. You use your power to corrupt our family and keep our family close." Hold it in the palm of your hand and use it for you..."

Xu Zhenying sighed, "Mr. Fang, this is serious. Who doesn't love power in this world? Power is the best aphrodisiac. No matter men or women, they will be addicted once they touch it. They are not the only ones, aren't you?"

Mr. Fang never expected Xu Zhenying to speak so straightforwardly, and his face turned black with anger.

"What's more, I didn't give them any power. I'm just a first-rate bandit. Where did I get my power?"

Mr. Fang smiled coldly, with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to see Xu Zhenying through, "Do you dare to tell them in front of them, why do you do these things?"

"What did you say?"

"Occupying the city...education for all...gathering grain and raising troops...opening up trade routes..."

Xu Zhenying felt slightly nervous. Looking into those weather-beaten eyes, Xu Zhenying felt that for a moment all his arrangements were clearly seen by Mr. Fang, and he felt like he had nowhere to hide.

Fang Xun and Fang Ningmo both looked at her.

Xu Zhenying sighed and said to the two of them: "You go out first, Mr. Fang and I will talk alone."

Fang Xun and Fang Ningmo looked at each other. Although they were confused, they still listened to Xu Zhenying's words. They retreated, leaving Xu Zhenying and Mr. Fang alone in the room.

Mr. Fang was glaring at Xu Zhenying as if he were glaring at a foreign enemy who invaded his country. He was on guard at the moment, "Xu Zhenying, others can't see your ambition, but I can see it. You don't have to hide it anymore..." You just want to rebel, don’t you?”

Xu Zhenying nodded, and she sat down on her own, eye level with Mr. Fang.

The girl's eyes were as calm as water, with no other expression except for the little bit of shock just now.

This woman has such a calm mind!

Mr. Fang had to re-examine Xu Zhenying as a political enemy.

Mr. Fang has been in politics for many years, and he naturally has an extraordinary bearing. Every time he raises his eyes or hands, everyone around him trembles.

But Xu Zhenying was unhurried. Even after he exposed her ambition, her expression remained unchanged.

I have to say that if Xu Zhenying were a man, this rebellion might have caused some waves.

It's a pity that she is a woman.

This change is destined to be only a small step.

"I admit it, I am. But I still want to ask the old man, where did I reveal myself?"

Mr. Fang snorted coldly, "I have read all the textbooks for your intermediate literacy class. In the book "Common Sense", you explain the principles of phenomena such as the earth dragon turning over, the earth's rotation, and the sky dog ​​swallowing the moon. Only then did I realize that whether you are interested in the way of heaven, , and still have no respect for the emperor."

Xu Zhenying held his forehead and said, "Ah, it turns out it's because of this. If I had known better, I wouldn't have written in such detail."

"Let me ask you, where did you get these fallacies?"

Xu Zhenying savored these words carefully.

Mr. Fang did not ask him whether it was true or not, but asked her where she got it. Does it mean that Mr. Fang actually believed her fallacies?

"No, let me ask you again, who are you?!" Mr. Fang's eyes were sharp, and his tone showed no fear, "I thought those were fallacies at first, but my boss has personally checked all of your math textbooks. , all of them are correct. Your mathematics textbook is far beyond the current level of the Zhou Dynasty, and the secrets of it are beyond human ability. If your mathematics is true, then your common sense will also be true. You might as well directly Tell me, are you a human or a ghost, a demon or a god?"

Xu Zhenying sighed.

It seems I can’t hide it——

"I'm a staunch atheist. I don't believe in ghosts and gods, which means I don't believe that besides humans, there are other intelligent creatures in this world. The reason why there is religion...oh, that's what you call sects, Whether it is Buddhism, Taoism, White Lotus, etc., it is because you do not know enough about the world. Human beings are naturally afraid of, and even worship, forces beyond their own cognition, and then personify some forces of nature and turn them into Revere them as if they were gods. There are also the seven emotions and six desires of human beings. Human beings need spiritual sustenance and comfort, especially when they are in pain, they need to gain strength, so religion was born. But that does not mean that there are monsters and monsters in this world. "

Mr. Fang listened quietly, but he keenly caught the words "You guys" in Xu Zhenying's mouth.

Since it is you, who is us?

"So, you are human?"

"I am a human being. But I don't know what brought me here. I have lived in another world for the past thirty years. How should I put it..." This is the first time Xu Zhenying has explained her origins to others seriously. She He scratched his hair in annoyance, looking a little childish, "I don't know if you can understand what I said. You are here now, and I am in the world two thousand years later. Then suddenly one day, I didn't know what happened. What, I ended up here out of nowhere."

Mr. Fang was horrified and stared at Xu Zhenying, speechless for a long time.

"I can't say that I have returned to the world two thousand years ago, because obviously our historical development is different. Your dynasty is not included in my history books. But your language, writing, clothing, mountains, and rivers , terrain, but very similar to our history.”
