Chapter 623: Fame
Due to the failure of the palace coup, Canglan Garden was deserted.
Fang Wujiu is the only living person left in the garden.
He stood on the steps at the door, a little hesitant about whether he should go back to Xuanmen directly or go see his junior sister?
After hesitating for a moment, he finally decided to have breakfast first.
At this time, the sky was turning pale.
The sky gradually brightened.
Soldiers were running back and forth everywhere in the city, searching for the remnants of the rebels.
Fang Wujiu has returned to his original appearance.
He walked slowly on the street in the early morning, looking like an ordinary citizen who went out for a stroll early in the morning.
Several teams of soldiers ran past him, but they just glanced at him and then looked away.
There are more and more people on the street, and some are setting up stalls on the roadside to sell breakfast.
Fang Wujiu found a small stall selling tofu pudding and sat down.
While eating the hot and tender tofu pudding, he listened to the people around him talking about what happened last night.
"I heard about a rebellion last night, and I was scared to death. I thought there was going to be another war!"
"Fortunately, the prince acted in time and suppressed the rebels before they could even jump."
"You are truly a wise and powerful prince. Not only can you pray for rain, but you can also quell rebellions. It is our great fortune that the Great Sheng Dynasty has such a powerful prince!"
"You didn't see it. Last night, the rebels wanted to kill the prince, but the arrow turned around and flew away before it even touched the edge of the prince's clothes!"
"There is such a miraculous thing?"
Compared to rebellion, the people obviously prefer to listen to gossip, especially gossip with a hint of magic.
Everyone became more and more excited as they talked.
At the beginning, everyone said that the prince was the son of destiny and was blessed by heaven. Later, it gradually evolved into that the prince was the reincarnation of the emperor of heaven. He was born extraordinary and had infinite strength. He could eat a cow in one meal, spit fire when he opened his mouth, and lightning and thunder would come out when he glared...
Fang Wujiu thought that after this battle, the prince's reputation would spread far and wide.
From now on, when people mention the prince, the image of a devil with a muscular body, a mouth spitting fire, and eyes glaring like thunder will emerge in their minds.
It’s really scary to think about it.
Fang Wujiu finished the last bite of tofu pudding in the bowl and packed up a breakfast.
Even though there had just been a bloody coup the night before, there was still a constant stream of people entering and leaving the city gates.
To prevent the rebels from taking the opportunity to sneak out of the city, the defenses of each city gate were strengthened.
Fang Wujiu successfully passed the inspection of the city gate guards and left Shengjing City among the crowd.
…
In the tent, Xiao Xixi was sleeping soundly.
She suddenly smelled the aroma of food and woke up immediately.
At a glance, he saw Fang Wujiu sitting next to him.
He was wearing a blue gown, had deep eyebrows, a handsome face, and a gentle and mellow temperament.
It's like a fine wine that has been treasured for many years. Just a slight sniff can make people intoxicated.
Xiao Xixi was surprised: "Big Brother, why are you here?"
Fang Wujiu's mouth corners raised, his eyebrows and eyes were smiling.
"I'll bring you breakfast."
He pointed to the white sugar cake, meat buns and soy milk on the small table next to him.
Only then did Xiao Xixi realize where the food aroma she had just smelled came from.
She jumped up and started eating happily.
Fang Wujiu asked: "Don't you wash your face or rinse your mouth?"
Xiao Xixi: "It's okay, I'm not dirty."
Fang Wujiu sighed, "It's really hard for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to like you."
Xiao Xixi chuckled and asked while eating.
"Aren't you helping the King of Xiling? Why did you suddenly come to give me breakfast? Did you poison the breakfast?"
Fang Wujiu asked with a smile: "Since you suspected that I had poisoned your breakfast, why did you still eat it? Aren't you afraid of being poisoned?"
"It's okay. I'm immune to all poisons and can't be killed by food."
Fang Wujiu looked helpless: "The Crown Prince has put down the rebellion, the King of Xiling has fled, and my mission has failed."
Xiao Xixi was not surprised at all.
She took a big gulp of soy milk, licked the soy milk from the corner of her mouth, and smiled triumphantly.
"As expected of the person I chose, he's awesome!"
Fang Wujiu: "The prince is indeed very capable. We all underestimated him."
The position of crown prince was extremely dangerous. They all thought that the crown prince would not live long, let alone ascend the throne to become emperor. However, the crown prince was not only alive and well, but also killed all his competitors one by one.
Fang Wujiu said with emotion: "The Crown Prince's position is becoming more and more stable now. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be the next emperor of the Great Sheng Dynasty."
Xiao Xixi: "Brother, haven't you made a move yet? Don't ignore him."
Fang Wujiu: "There is still no news about him. I don't know where he got lost. By the time he makes his move, I'm afraid the prince will have already ascended the throne."
Xiao Xixi thought of her junior brother's poor sense of direction and suddenly felt a little worried.
"Will Junior Brother be in danger?"
Fang Wujiu said calmly, "He is such a powerful martial artist, and he has so much money on him. Apart from having no sense of direction and always crying for his mother, he has no other problems. Even if he really encounters danger, he can handle it."
Xiao Xixi: "What if he gets lost in some deep forest? There's no one in the forest, so it would be useless even if he brought a lot of money."
Fang Wujiu imagined the scene and hesitated.
"Since he knows that he has a poor sense of direction, he shouldn't run into the deep mountains and forests, right?"
Xiao Xixi: "If he knew which direction was the deep mountains and old forests, he wouldn't be such a directionally challenged person."
Fang Wujiu fell silent.
He tried to think optimistically: "Even if he gets lost in the deep mountains and forests, he can hunt and will not starve to death. It should not be a problem for him to survive."
Xiao Xixi: "I'm afraid he won't be able to find his way back to his master's sect, and will end up living as a savage in the mountains for the rest of his life."
After imagining his junior fellow apprentice brother turning into a savage and jumping around in the mountains, Fang Wujiu fell silent again.
After a long while he finally sighed.
"My mission has failed anyway, and I don't have anything else to do, so why not go look for my junior brother?"
Xiao Xixi reminded: "You can go sightseeing first, and when my mission is completed, you can go find him."
Fang Wujiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You are quite good at planning."
Xiao Xixi: "I just don't want to kill my fellow disciples anymore."
Fang Wujiu suddenly asked.
"Have you ever thought about why Master gave us such a mission?"
Xiao Xixi shook her head: "I don't know."
She has always been too lazy to think too much and always takes one step at a time.
Fang Wujiu: "I think about this from time to time."
Xiao Xixi: "Have you figured out the reason?"
Fang Wujiu looked at her meaningfully and said nothing.
Xiao Xixi finished her breakfast in one go, but still felt unsatisfied.
"Where did you buy this white sugar cake? It's delicious, sweet but not greasy. I'll buy some more later."
Fang Wujiu did not answer but asked: "When the prince ascends the throne, will you return to your sect?"
Xiao Xixi paused while wiping her mouth, then she spoke as if nothing had happened.
"I'm not sure about that. If I'm still alive by then, I'll go back. If I'm dead, there's nothing I can do about it. I'll just bury you where you died."
