Inside the inn, Fang Zheng dismissed everyone and sat on the bed, closing his eyes and thinking hard for the entire afternoon.
It was already dark when I opened my eyes.
It seems to be a 'death' situation at the moment, but if it is managed well, there is still a great chance to get through it safely.
There was no point in expecting to run away on his own initiative. The only thing he could do was wait for Dajing to win the battle and come to rescue him.
If he wants to get home quickly, he must fight as Zhou Tie said and break the opponent's backbone in one go.
We need to deliver messages to the outside world and save our lives inside...The biggest problem now is whether Linglong can handle the external affairs.
Yesterday he watched Paba leave, while Linglong stayed in the room the whole time, so the two should not have had any contact.
After half a day of thinking, Fang Zhengyi already had some strategies in mind.
I'll just call Linglong over tomorrow and show off my traditional skills... As for whether it will succeed, it all depends on luck.
As he thought about it, a smile appeared on Fang Zheng's face.
Looking back on my life, it was really fucking wonderful. This time I have to walk on the edge of death like the wind again!
......
The next day, Fang Zheng didn't get up until the afternoon.
After changing his clothes, he ordered people to prepare a table of good wine and food.
Then he asked Zhou Tie to notify the guards of the post house, and then asked the guards of the post house to notify Linglong to come up and serve.
Afterwards, Zhang Biao and Zhou Tie took turns guarding the stairs on the first floor to prevent anyone from going upstairs to eavesdrop and check.
After receiving the notification, Linglong immediately went to Fang Zhengyi's door and knocked gently.
Fang Zhengyi quickly tidied himself up, making sure he was neat and tidy before going to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, Linglong stood upright at the door. Fangzheng asked in surprise, "Linglong? I didn't call you, why are you here?"
Linglong was a little surprised: "Someone told me that Lord Fang asked me to sleep with him."
"Who notified me?"
"The guard downstairs."
"Hey! That should be arranged by National Master Paba. Paba is really unnecessary! If I want to call you, can't I just let my men call you?" Fang Zheng sighed.
"Ah?" Linglong hesitated and said, "Then I'll leave?"
Fang Zhengyi said enthusiastically: "Since we are here, I am eating right now. I can't finish it all by myself. Let's eat together."
"Your Excellency is of noble status, is this appropriate?" Linglong hesitated.
"What's inappropriate about this? Can't women from the Jin Kingdom eat at the same table as men?" Fang Zhengyi pulled Linglong into the house without hesitation. "You can eat alone, but it's more lively if you eat together."
Linglong sat down flattered. Fang Zheng sat directly opposite her, picked up a piece of food for her with his chopsticks, and said, "Eat it. You're welcome."
"Thank you, sir." Linglong began to eat in small bites, secretly glancing at Fang Zhengyi from time to time.
This person...gives people a very strange feeling, as if he doesn't consider himself as a servant.
"Linglong, where do you live? Do you live in the city?" Fang Zhengyi asked intentionally or unintentionally.
Linglong put down her chopsticks and shook her head: "No, my family used to herd cattle outside the city, and I also lived outside the city. A year ago, the palace was selecting maids, and I was chosen."
Living outside the palace would be even better!
Fang Zhengyi was delighted: "Then can you usually go home when you are in the palace?"
"I can't go back...I have to wait a few years before I can leave the palace."
"Then you should have refused Paba's invitation to sleep with you here. You can find a good man to marry after you leave the palace. You are so stupid. Why did you agree to him? Even if I can't do anything, what about your reputation?" Fang Zheng asked with concern.
Linglong's expression suddenly became somewhat miserable, and she forced a smile: "I am a servant, and I will do whatever the Imperial Master tells me to do. Master Fang, do you dislike my ugly appearance? Actually, you can..."
"How is that possible!" Fang Zheng said righteously, "You are not ugly. To be honest, you are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen in Jin Country."
"ah...."
"I just don't understand why you guys here are so disrespectful to women. You're not an object, so how can you be sent around? This is too much!" Fang Zhengyi scolded, "I've never seen anything this outrageous in Dajing!"
"Besides, I'm married. How can I betray my woman?"
Linglong's eyes flashed with surprise: "Does Lord Fang only have one wife? Is it like this in Jingguo?"
"That's not the case, but the young people in my family believe in loving only one person for a lifetime, and the two of them stay together until old age. If one of them finds a new love, they will be despised."
"It's not enough for two people to truly love each other, they also need to pay a sky-high price in order to marry her home. The money belongs to the wife. The man is responsible for making money to support the family, and the woman is responsible for being beautiful. By the way, how much does it cost for ordinary people here to marry a woman?"
How could the women of Jingguo live so happily? What kind of heavenly life is this?
Before she could say a few words, Linglong was already shaken and her mind was unstable. The shock was too great. As soon as the door to the new world was pried open, her three views could not bear it.
He could only hesitantly say, "A few taels of silver will be enough."
"Bang!" Fang Zheng slammed the table and said indignantly, "Isn't this bullying an honest woman? This is so cheap that it's no different from cattle and sheep!"
"For ordinary people like us to marry a girl, we have to empty six pockets of the whole family. Oh, it starts from my great grandfather's generation. What we pay attention to is a sedan chair with eight bearers, a phoenix crown and a red robe, three letters and six betrothal gifts, and a formal marriage. That's what we call respecting women!"
As soon as Fang Zheng finished speaking, he quickly glanced at Linglong and saw that she looked a little silly, obviously she hadn't absorbed it yet, so he quickly said, "Sorry, Linglong, I'm sorry that I lost my composure. If you have anything you want to ask, you can ask me."
