Chapter 119 June is hot and June is cold In the palace, the queen handed a letter to the Emperor of Daxia and whispered:
"Chen'er said that as the Duke of Xia, he should do more things for Daxia, so he planned to lead his tribe to the south to clean up the abuses accumulated over the past hundreds of years."
The Emperor of Daxia looked at the letter. The handwriting on it was written with dragons, snakes, iron and silver hooks, exuding an inexplicable aura.
"No wonder Fang Canghai resigned some time ago."
The Emperor of Daxia said calmly: "It turns out that we are planning to move to the south. As a result, I am a little reluctant to leave."
"Your Majesty, no one from the Fang family is an official in the court now. You should be relieved, right?"
The queen smiled.
"Queen, what do you think of me? When have I ever been wary of Fang's family? However, I would like to appreciate Fang Chen's willingness to handle matters in the Southland for me."
The Emperor of Daxia smiled, feeling inexplicably relieved. If the Fang family continued to occupy Kyoto, its prestige would have already surpassed that of the royal family. To him, it would be like a sharp knife hanging over his head, and he could never completely rest assured.
"This news must be kept secret first. Even the prestige of the Fang family cannot really make some people completely afraid and give up their own huge interests."
The Emperor of Daxia said again.
The queen nodded slightly, she naturally understood this truth.
Prince's Mansion.
Xia Yu frowned slightly, looked at Tao Yu, and then at Li Huafeng: "What is the Fang Mansion going to do?"
Li Huafeng muttered: "I'm afraid we have to clean up the evils in the Southland, but...even if Fang Chen is promoted to the Earth Profound Realm, the evils in the Southland have been accumulated for hundreds of years, and the upper and lower parts are integrated. He may not be able to do anything about it."
"Fang Chen is already the Duke of Xia, why should he take care of the affairs of the South? With his reputation, wouldn't it be good to stay in the capital? Even if I see him, I have to bow."
Xia Yu looked strange.
Everyone in Kyoto knows that managing bad things like that in Nandi is thankless and has no benefit. Instead, it will offend the warriors in Nandi and thus offend many generals in the army.
The most terrifying thing is not to offend the generals, but the middle and lower-level officers. If they lose their military morale because of this, it will be a very serious incident.
Therefore, as long as the Southland does not rebel, Kyoto will allow the Southland to govern itself, but the ordinary people in the Southland will have a harder time.
"I don't think so. If Fang Mansion wanted to take control, Fang Zhentian would have taken action at that time. There is no need to wait until now. The Fang family's departure from Beijing may be related to the title of Xia Guogong.
They left Kyoto on purpose because they were afraid of being jealous of the Holy One. "
Tao Yu said in a deep voice.
"It's possible."
Xia Yu nodded slightly. He was more inclined to this point. After all, the Fang family no longer served as officials in the court. Cleaning up the abuses in the south would not do any good to the Fang family.
"If the Fang family really goes to the Southland, will they become the number one martial arts family in the Southland? Directly above the four major sects, this is much better than being an official in Kyoto."
Ye Qinghe said suddenly.
"The Southland will always be the Southland. If the Fang family really thinks so, let them go. It won't affect the political situation of Daxia, which is a good thing."
Xia Yu said with a smile.
Xia Ji is dead. If Fang Chen leaves Kyoto again, it will be a dream start for him!
……
……
Everyone is speculating that some people have written letters overnight and ordered people to send them to the Southland, but all this has nothing to do with Fang Chen.
No matter how they speculated or what moves they made behind the scenes, it was all harmless. What Fang Chen was about to do was beyond their imagination.
Before they knew it, everyone had arrived at Xiannan County. The scorching sun was high in the sky and the steaming heat hit their faces. Many young people from the Fang family showed signs of heatstroke because they were not used to it.
Until now, they didn't know why the Southland was called a desert land. It was too hot here. It was difficult to grow crops at such a temperature, which meant that ordinary people might not have enough to eat.
"Brother, Chen'er means that we will live here from now on?"
Fang Canyou looked strange, and the fur blanket on his knees had long been removed. As an explosive warrior, he felt that he could not withstand the scorching heat. "Xiannan County has summer heat in June and winter in June. There is no spring or autumn. But compared to the other eight counties, this place is excellent. If you go to those places, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay for a month."
Fang Canghai smiled lightly.
"No wonder His Majesty has not dealt with the Southland. If I were to be the emperor, the Southland would be like worthless food. It would be a pity to abandon it and taste nothing."
Fang Cang muttered quietly.
Fang Canghai didn't think there was anything wrong with his somewhat rebellious words. The Fang family had always believed that the people were more important than the emperor.
He didn't pay too much attention to some details, which actually caused the emperor to always dislike Fang's family.
"Brother, Chen'er should have arranged all the properties in our Fang Mansion, right? Even if we go to the Southland, we must not leave those properties behind. After all, so many people need to eat."
Fang Cangyou said.
"Chen'er will arrange it."
Fang Canghai smiled.
"That's good."
Fang Cangyou nodded slightly, then his eyes suddenly brightened, pointing not far away and saying: "There is a teahouse over there."
"There are too many of us, and we will disturb others if we go there."
Fang Canghai shook his head slightly.
"Dad, second uncle, if we walk a few dozen miles, there will be an ice spring. That is also the destination of our trip."
Fang Chen rushed forward and pointed in a certain direction.
The two eyes lit up.
In the teahouse, everyone showed curiosity when they saw such a huge team passing by. They saw that everyone's clothes should come from the North.
"Is it a rich man from the North who comes to visit us in the South?"
"Which rich man is so stupid that he would come to visit our southern land? He wouldn't be afraid of being dried in the sun."
"Is it possible that a certain high-ranking official will come to take office?"
"It looks a bit similar."
Everyone was whispering and looking curiously, but a few figures among them had a strange look in their eyes and left quietly after seeing the team.
The team quickly left the official road and headed towards the ice spring. After a while, everyone felt that the air became cooler, and in the distance, an ice spring came into view.
Many villagers who came here to fetch water were not surprised when they saw such a team appearing. They seemed to be used to it, so they fetched water and left.
"Chen'er, it stands to reason that this kind of place should be considered a treasure in the south. This place is very cool. Why are there no houses around it?"
Fang Canghai looked at Fang Chen with a strange expression.
Regarding these reasons, Fang Chen had already ordered someone to find out clearly last time.
"Due to the magical spring water here, many wild beasts have appeared. They are huge and different from ordinary wild beasts, and they will come here to drink water from time to time.
If ordinary people live here, they will be their rations. People nearby who come to fetch water will be taken away by wild beasts from time to time. This is one of them. "
Fang Chen smiled.
Drinking ice spring water every day will make even wild beasts have some signs of becoming spirits, which is difficult for ordinary warriors to deal with.
"Secondly, in the winter of June, this place will be colder than other places, and it will be difficult for ordinary people to withstand it. Therefore, this place is not suitable for ordinary people to live, so no one wants to live here."
Fang Chen said.
If it weren't for these two reasons, a small town would have appeared here long ago, or it would have been occupied by a large clan in the South. It would have been a terra incognita.
