Chapter 24 How? Not how!

When the sun climbed over Fangu's walls and shone the sunlight into the small town, the people who got up early and went out were shocked by the scene in front of them. Soon, the news spread and all the people in Fangu City, including the elderly, weak, women and children, rushed to the widest street, and sighed at what appeared in front of them.

There are hundreds of tables lined up on the street, filled with wine bowls.

There is no food, only wine.

In addition to the Fan Gu border general Li Xiaozong, more than 700 border soldiers in Fan Gu City were all here. At this time of the day, no soldier was seen patrolling back and forth on the walls of Fan Gu City. More than 3,000 wine bowls were densely placed on the table, and each bowl was filled with wine.

Four restaurants, six inns, and more than a dozen restaurants in Fangu City. The boss, chefs, apprentices, and all the errand guards in Jinyuanfang worked all night. Almost all the stored wine were emptied and transported to the street. The more than 700 border soldiers wanted to help, but the villagers refused to let them sit at the table and rest.

More than 2,000 people gathered on the main street, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable when they looked at the tables set up like dragons in front of them.

The border soldiers who had guarded Fan Gucheng for many years were only qualified to sit next to the table. Even Fang Jie, who arranged all this today, stood there, looking at the border soldiers with shame.

"Fang Jie! Are you really leaving?!"

Someone couldn't help asking.

Fang Jie waved his hand and did not answer.

He picked up a bowl of wine, slowly fell down and sprinkled it on the ground: "This bowl of wine is to give the robes that night that unfortunately died in battle. I am sorry for you!"

Apart from the border soldiers, not many people understand his words.

The incident that night could be hidden from the people in the city, and the elite soldiers of the Great Sui Dynasty. They knew who Fang Jie was toasted for, so their faces were a little sad. That night, more than 20 border soldiers died in battle at the west gate of the city, and the one who killed them... was Fang Jie.

Logically speaking, the soldiers of the border soldiers should not forgive Fang Jie, but for some reason, someone suddenly shouted and walked along the way. More than 700 soldiers stood up neatly, each of whom picked up the wine bowl in front of him and sprinkled it on the ground, and then shouted neatly, walking along the way along.

Qu Feng, the oldest lieutenant in the border army, murmured as he poured wine: "Don't blame me for the explanation."

More than 700 people toasted together, wishing that the dead robes would be safe in heaven.

Fang Jie sprinkled all the wine and then kowtowed three times in the direction of the West Gate. The soldiers stood on both sides of the long table, and no one knew who shouted a salute. More than 700 soldiers neatly placed their right fists across their chests and solemnly salute the Great Sui army.

Qu Feng walked slowly over, reached out and pulled his forehead on the cold bluestone pavement, explaining: "No one blames you. Although the soldiers hate the most is that they are fighting each other, it does not mean that everyone is not distinguishing between right and wrong. Li Xiaozong did not come today. He said he was imprisoned in the General's Mansion, but we didn't call him. Look at it yourself, even the brothers on duty in the General's Mansion came, and they did not treat you as an enemy!"

"Whether you are in the Imperial Martial Arts Academy or other places, the border troops in Fangu City will always be your brother!"

"Respect brothers!"

Qu Feng picked up a bowl of wine again and shouted to the sky.

More than 700 border soldiers immediately picked up their wine glasses and explained to Fang: "Treat brothers!"

Fang Jie wanted to cry, but he held it back.

He took the wine bowl handed to him by the big dog and drank it all in one go.

"I know you hate Li Xiaozong, even we hate him, let alone you?"

Qu Feng put the wine bowl on the long table, took out a stack of silver notes from his arms and handed it to Fang Jie: "This is what Li Xiaozong asked the guards of the General's Mansion to bring to you. The guards of the General's Mansion said they had no shame to see you and asked me to give it to you. This is the bonus you gave to Li Xiaozong in Fangu City in the past few years, not all, about one-third... You hate him, but this money is earned by you. You need to handle any yamen in the imperial capital. It is hard to speak for someone in the official uniform. Don't refuse, money is money. If you feel unhappy with this money, then each of us more than 700 brothers will drop a drop of blood on the silver notes, washing away your resentment!"

"I'll take it!"

Fang Jie nodded vigorously and took the silver note solemnly.

"Fang Jie, are you back?"

A little girl with a slutty voice was held in her mother's arms, and her pure eyes were reluctant to leave. Although it was not as rich as adults, it was more pure.

"return!"

Fang Jie nodded and said with a smile.

"I originally planned to invite everyone to drink a bowl of wine before leaving, spend all the money in my luggage before leaving. But all the shopkeepers in the city didn't charge me money, so this bowl of wine was not so much for me to treat everyone, but I would rather say that everyone invited me to drink! We can't think of a true man who stands tall, but also a man! This wine is a farewell wine, but not a heartless wine! I think I deserve to be friends with you, so I will do this bowl together today!"

Everyone had wine in their hands, and even a bowl of children was stuffed into their hands.

The little girl who asked Fang Jie before would come back, looked at the wine bowl in her hand and said timidly: "Mom, the wine is spicy, I don't want to drink it."

Her mother rubbed her sore nose and said, "Good Baoer, I'll drink a small sip. After drinking this bowl of wine, you have to remember Fang Jie. He is a relative of everyone in our Fangu city and a family member."

The little girl seemed to understand, but nodded.

Not far away, a rough man dipped his fingers into the baby's mouth in his wife's arms. The baby subconsciously sucked it, but the wine was too spicy, and the baby immediately frowned, stretched out his little arm from the swaddle and shook it a few times, grinning and crying.

I don’t know how many people cried when the baby cried.

"I hope I can get together again after parting today!"

Fang Jie drank all the wine, and tears finally came out. The big dog sighed, even a woman like Mu Xiaoyao had a sore nose.

...

...

On this day, Fan Gucheng lost wine.

Maybe I didn't want to see such a scene, so the Hongxiuzhao people had already left the city last night. On the widest street in the city, I don't know how many people were drunk. The young girl in her prime looked red as if the peach blossoms blooming in the spring breeze, but her eyes were red and swollen.

For them, Fang Jie is not just a name. If she marrys a wife many years later, she will smile shyly when she recalls the past and cannot forget the young man she missed when she was young. Perhaps Fan Gucheng was too small, so Fang Jie changed this place. The imperial capital is so big, maybe he himself changed.

More than 700 soldiers from the border soldiers drank, and then returned to their respective duties under the leadership of the lieutenants. The upper city of the city, the patrolling city, also led the horses out of the city. Qu Feng was the last one to leave. He patrolled Fang Jie on the shoulder and said slightly drunk: "Whether you can enter the Martial Arts Academy or not, you will come back and have a look. If you don't get the best, come back and drink and kill the thieves. Others don't know, I know very well... You hide every time you kill the thief, but those horse thieves who are the most threatening are shot to death by you. The most unconscience-free thing Li Xiaozong did is to lose your military merits."

"You are a qualified scout, with a radius of hundreds of miles. As long as you are a horse thief on Langrushan, which one is not found? In three years, the people in Fangu City were so rich that they were so peaceful that they made people sigh... Fangu City has been around for decades, and it has never been so clean."

"Brother Qu..."

Fang Jie opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Qu Feng smiled and said, "But I still hope you can get into the Martial Arts Academy. If you are the most unlucky, you are also a lieutenant. I know your ability, what are you afraid of if you can't practice? There are not many such generals in the army who are purely practicing physical fitness to compete with the cultivation masters. Don't forget that Luo Yao, who guards our southern border of the Sui Dynasty, has pure external skills, and is said to be comparable to a ninth-grade master, and he will still dominate the world! It's better to be a general, and when you come back, we Fan Gu will be the general!"

"Um!"

Fang Jie nodded vigorously.

"Let's go. Today I will lead my troops to patrol the Langru Mountain. I can't send you off. Don't be surprised... The journey is smooth!"

After saying this, Qu Feng turned his head and left.

After the border soldiers left, the people surrounded Fang Jie again and talked to Fang Jie in a lingering manner. Fang Jie couldn't hear what he said in the chaos. Some people said that Fang Jie was asking Fang Jie to treat Fan Gu as his parents' home, but after being scolded, he realized that Fang Jie was not a woman.

But for some reason, everyone has a sense of reluctance to marry their daughter.

"Big shopkeeper, don't worry, Jin Yuanfang, I will take good care of you. If you don't come back, I will send someone to see the annual accounts for you."

Chu Huaili, the second shopkeeper of Jinyuanfang, rubbed his eyes and said.

"Well, the money of the grassland barbarians is easy to make, and Jinyuanfang cannot be destroyed. Although there is no Hongxiulou, Keshengju and Jinyuanfang are still money trees in Fan Gucheng. As long as these two buildings are there, the villagers will not live as hard as before."

Fang Jie explained, then lowered his voice and said, "If Li Xiaozong wants to clean up the traces of greed for money on his body, he will definitely burn all the previous accounts. Keep one and hide it. Also, he will definitely leave all the business in the city. This is an opportunity... Without him, the money-making business will become the villagers' own. Even without Hongxiu's bonus will be much greater than before."

"I remember the shopkeeper!"

Chu Huaili nodded vigorously.

He was originally a down-and-out scholar in Fan Gu City, but his life changed because of Fang Jie. If it weren't for Fang Jie, he, the poor man who was looked down upon, would have been wandering around the world in the end.

"Save some money for yourself."

Fang Jie smiled and said, "You are too honest. You haven't saved enough money to withdraw a beautiful wife yet. But if I leave in the future, I guess you are the ones that the girls in Fan Gucheng admire."

The honest and dull Chu Huaili blushed, and she was so embarrassed that she didn't know how to answer.

...

...

"Let's go! Let's go back, it's not a separation from life and death. If I one day become as rich as Wu Yidao, I will take you all to Chang'an, the imperial capital! Of course, don't hold hope."

Fang Jie got on the carriage and waved his hand, saying loudly: "We will not change the green mountains and rivers will flow forever... It will be a time later!"

Aunt He stood on tiptoe and shouted in the crowd: "No matter how beautiful the girl in the imperial capital is, it is the most reliable to find a wife or Fan Gu's girl!"

"Aunt He... I turned around and asked Chu Huaili to allocate some money from the account to you and set up a special sticky piece... Uh no, it's a marriage agency. I have already thought of the name, it's called Century Lily!"

"Fang Jie! Remember me, I'll wait for you to come back and marry me!"

"Give up! I won't come back for ten years, may you not marry for ten years?! No one wants to be old and ugly. While I am still young, I will be more picky!"

"Fang Jie, the imperial capital is too big, don't lose yourself!"

"Don't worry, if I lose myself, I will report to the official!"

"Fang Jie, they said you little brother-brother, before you leave, tell me how you did that!"

"Brother, you're exposed!"

General's Mansion

Li Xiaozong poured a glass of old wine and drank it all. He laughed at the lively shouts outside and said, "What a wonderful life experience. I didn't expect that I, a general, was far inferior to him, a philanthropist. I don't know how many people gave me and how many people scolded me when I left Fan Gu... Fang Jie... More than 700 border troops are going to give you a gift. Are you trying to tell me... Are you better than me?"

Fan Gudong Gate

Under an oil paper umbrella, the woman in a long snow-white marten fur dress looked at the scene in the city and smiled slightly, turning around and saying lightly. I don’t know if it was the oil paper umbrella that depicts peonies that set off her beautiful beauty, or her appearance that made the oil paper umbrella add charm.

Three maids of sixteen or seventeen years old followed her and walked out of the city. Not far outside the city, the convoy of Hongxiuzhao's carriages stopped quietly on the side of the road.

"how?"

The voice of an aunt who had a chance in a carriage was heard.

"No, it's just a commoner."

The beautiful woman answered and then boarded the carriage.

"When will he lose this kind of energy... he will achieve great success."
