Traveling through: The down-and-out beauty refuses to be cannon fodder

Chapter 224 The Prodigal Son Has True Love
Fang Yuanzhi's gaze sank slightly, and he whistled.

A few men holding longbows suddenly appeared on the mountain, aiming at the bearded party with their bows and arrows.

The bearded man's expression froze, and he raised his voice and said: "I pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, don't embarrass women, let's go!"

Fang Yuanzhi didn't move, looked at Sun Lian gloatingly and said, "It seems that they are looking for you."

Sun Lian smiled wryly: "Miss Fang, Sun Lian has implicated you again. It's just that you can't just leave your life alone, can you?"

Fang Yuanzhi crossed his hands in front of his chest, taking a moment to calm down: "What position do I have to save you?"

Sun Lian pulled out the sword that was hanging immediately: "First, I haven't paid the consultation fee yet; second, I'm walking with you, and if something happens to me, you can't escape it; third, I'm gentler than my elder brother."

Fang Yuanzhi's eyes narrowed slightly, this Sun Lian is really not an idiot.

She said to the bearded beard: "You heard it too, I have to help him."

The bearded man gritted his teeth, and finally made up his mind: "There is a way to heaven, you don't go, and there is no way to hell, you come in! Go!"

Arrows were shot down from the mountain, and several people fell to the ground.

But there were a dozen or so people on the other side, and seven or eight people rushed over, and they quickly fought with Fang Yuanzhi and others.

However, Fang Yuanzhi's attack was just a show.

Fang Yuanzhi looked at the gangsters suspiciously, but when she heard Sun Lian scream, she fell off the horse and screamed with her arms around one leg!

Hu Hu wanted to fix Sun Lian's leg again, but was almost shot by an arrow, and was so frightened that he hurried away with him.

Fang Yuanzhi hurriedly dismounted to check Sun Lian's injuries, but saw him smiling and winking at her.

Fang Yuanzhi was out of breath, got on his horse and left.

Sun Lian also rode a horse and hurriedly followed.

After walking for a while, they found that the bearded and his party had fallen by the side of the road. They were all exhausted, and each had only one fatal wound on their bodies.

The quality of the killer is extremely high, and his shots are sharp and ruthless.

Fang Yuanzhi didn't know who did it, so he hurriedly rode away.

Fang Yuanzhi knew that the Fang family had sent her six personal guards to protect her in the dark.

It's just that I don't know who killed the bearded party?
When returning to the city, at the gate of the city, someone was seeing off the practice.Seeing the murderous intent of the accompanying people, Fang Yuanzhi guessed which general was going on a long journey.

The most conspicuous thing is a middle-aged woman in brocade clothes, crying mournfully, as if parting from life and death.

Fang Yuanzhi couldn't help but take a few extra glances.My grandfather is also a military commander. When he left Beijing to go to war, did he part with his grandmother in this way?

But Sun Lian got off his horse and cupped his fists in salute: "Guo Shibo is well."

The person whom he worshiped was over fifty years old, tall and tall in appearance, with a beard hanging down his belly, his voice was like a bell, and his eyes were powerful when he looked at him.

I saw that Guo Shibo gave Sun Lian a disdainful look, with disgust in his eyes.

He said coldly: "I don't dare to be the gift of the son of the Marquis of Huichang!

I think back then when I was demoted to Gansu, my good heir Guo Song, your good brother-in-law, withheld food and clothing, made my concubine rely on sewing to subsidize the family, and almost died!
If it wasn't for the fact that the Marquis of Huichang had been kind to me, the old man would not have deposed Guo Song for his sake, how could I allow you to call me Shibo today! "

Sun Lian saluted and bowed, and left on his own.

Fang Yuanzhi saw that Sun Lian was devastated, but instead gloated and said, "It seems that I am not the only one who doesn't buy the face of the Houfu of Huichang!"

Sun Lian introduced in a low voice: "That is Uncle Dingxiang Guo Deng. On the surface, he seems to submit to my father, but in fact he has long been full of complaints about the Sun family. He has no son, and the adopted son is our Sun family's son-in-law. Same water and fire."

Fang Yuanzhi glanced at Sun Lian and asked, "Is this Earl Guo going to work at the border?"

Sun Lian shook her head with a smile: "That's not true. Lord Guo received the imperial decree to supervise the [-]th Battalion drill last April, and later also served as the Chief of the Shenji Battalion. Tag of.

Now the emperor bowed his head to the Sun family and stopped the New Salt Law Deal.

Earl Guo has always loved soldiers like his son, and hated the disadvantages of occupying the central government. He couldn't bear it, and he wrote a memorial saying that Liu Yu, the commander-in-chief of the Western Expedition, did not have a good reputation, so he should not choose a heavy general in order to succeed.The original intention was to apply to go to the Gansu border again, away from the dirty water in the capital. "

Sun Lian brushed off his skirt in disgust.

Fang Yuanzhi thought it was funny.Sun Lian is the real son of the Marquis of Huichang, Dingxiang Bo Guo Deng is a powerful figure who holds a heavy army and defends the capital, and the core backbone of the foreign relative party, all of them hate the foreign relative party so deeply.

This relative party seems to be powerful, but in fact it is not that strong.

She remembered the deal Sun Xuzong made with herself.

Fang Yuanzhi asked tentatively: "Does the Emperor know about Guo Deng's matter you mentioned?"

Sun Lian looked at her with a smile, a little appreciative: "I should have known about it. Otherwise, why would I reuse Lord Guo after returning from Jiangnan."

Fang Yuanzhi didn't speak.It seems that Zhu Jianshen is also dividing the party of relatives.

Sun Lian looked at Fang Yuanzhi, and chatted as he rode his horse into the city: "In April of the second year of Chenghua, the emperor asked someone to read a scripture in the court hall, saying that a husband and wife from a county in Nanjing sent a neighbor's ten-year-old daughter The girl strangled her to death and cooked it, and asked the court to borrow some relief food to stabilize the price of rice. The emperor was furious in court, saying that April is the time when the harvest is not harvested, why did the officials go so early?"

Fang Yuanzhi reined in his horse and looked at Sun Lian in disbelief, his chest was so stuffy and swollen that he couldn't speak.

Sun Lian smiled helplessly at her.

Fang Yuanzhi remembered that in April of that year, she was taking care of Mrs. Gu's body at Xu's house. She didn't know that there were people in Nanjing City not far from her who were so hungry that they wanted to kill the neighbor's little girl to eat and survive. .

Fang Yuanzhi bowed her head sadly.

Even if she can practice medicine to save people, after all, her abilities are limited, and the number of people she can help and help is extremely limited.

Sun Lian continued: "In the past few years, there were many internal strife in the imperial court. The officials were chaotic and no one was at ease in political affairs. Everyone was at risk. In the past two years, the emperor was wary of the Northern faction and the relative party, but he did not rush to suppress it. In terms of official administration and political affairs, the emphasis has been on putting the people first, and the situation has improved a lot.”

Sun Lian saw that Fang Yuanzhi couldn't hide his sadness, and comforted him: "This year's situation is much better. Not long ago, Zhu Yi, the Duke of Nanjing's garrison, said that this year's drought has been long, and next year there will be shortages. Now, please transport food for next year. It’s much better than it was two years ago.”

Fang Yuanzhi looked at Sun Lian: "Why are you telling me these things?"

Sun Lian smiled meaningfully: "Miss Fang is smart and generous, so she must be able to understand what I have not said."

Fang Yuanzhi replied stiffly: "I don't understand." Then he rode back to Fang's house on his own.

After dinner, Fang Yuanzhi couldn't rest for a long time.

She got up and went to the study to find a collection of poems, found a poem by Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty and began to copy:
"Arrogance fills the road, and the pommel horse shines in the dust. If you ask me what it is, it is called a minister. Zhu Fu is a doctor, purple ribbon or general. Kua goes to the banquet in the army, and the horse goes like a cloud. The honor is full of nine brews, and the water and land collect eight treasures. Fruit Break Dongting tangerines and cut Tianchi scales. Eat well and feel at ease, and drink to invigorate the spirit. It is a year of drought in the south of the Yangtze River, and people in Quzhou cannibalize."

It was a year of drought in the south of the Yangtze River, and people in Quzhou cannibalized.

It was a year of drought in the south of the Yangtze River, and people in Quzhou cannibalized.

It was a year of drought in the south of the Yangtze River, and people in Quzhou cannibalized.

Quzhou is a prefecture in Zhejiang, not far from Qiantang, Hangzhou, where she has lived for several years.
