Chapter 519 Waiting for You to Come Back
The five races have their own main cities in the southern border, but the royal family lives in the central city. As for why and what considerations, outsiders don't know.
However, this also happened to be convenient for Chen Fang and the people of Qiuxu City not to waste time traveling around.
On the way to the south, Chen Fang contacted Jimo, and after some communication, he learned that they were also in the central city and lived near the Gong family, which was even more convenient.
During the exchange, Chen Fang learned that after Gong Xiaobai returned to the Gong family, he made a high-profile announcement that he was going to compete for the heir. Sad.
Gong Xiaobai said before that he didn't want to get involved in the battle for the successor, which made him look miserable because he had no one to support him.
At first, everyone thought that even if Gong Xiaobai announced that he would join the fight for the succession, it would be just a formality, but unexpectedly, this guy got the support of many people as soon as he announced.
This is because Gong Xiaobai's mother has been waiting for Gong Xiaobai to change her mind one day, so she planned ahead. Over the years, she has used various means to win over many neutral factions and some clan elders, so that Gong Xiaobai, in the shortest possible time, Gaining the support of a group of people, and the samurai family also participated in as their backing, and the unexpected addition of the Dawes family later gave him the capital to fight against his elder brother and second brother.
A new person who has the strength to fight for the successor, the other brothers don't have to worry about it, and because of Gong Xiaobai's joining, his big brother and second brother who had been in a heated battle temporarily stopped fighting each other, and the situation suddenly became confusing. It also temporarily stabilized the entire palace family.
In addition, the Wenren and Jimo families also joined Gong Xiaobai's side.
Chen Fang was very puzzled as to why the two families joined Gong Xiaobai's camp. Logically speaking, the two families did not like to be involved in such disputes.
It wasn't until Jimo explained that as long as he still walked around and showed intimacy in the future, he would be regarded as an enemy even if he wasn't an enemy, so he might as well just join in, at least he would have someone to help when he was hit.
You said that you don't want to get involved in disputes, so it would be fine to just cut off the connection between the two, but you can't stand Gong Xiaobai often looking for you to play with, for a person who treats you as a friend and walks around frequently, do you ruthlessly refuse?
Chen Fang couldn't do it himself, and Jimo and Wenren's family couldn't do it either, otherwise they wouldn't have guarded the seal of the plague mother in Longhua City for so long.
You said that Gong Xiaobai is not conscious, since he is a friend, he should know what situation his behavior will bring him, and he should take the initiative to break the relationship.
It is true to say so, but you think it is easy.
After Gong Xiaobai returned to the southern border, he asked his mother to help the family of Jimo Wenren who lived in the southern border not so well, so that they could gain a foothold in the southern border, and put their home in the central city, a manor closest to the royal family. It gave a lot of help to the two families, as well as the Wu family's charming, and because of a person like Chen Fang, it involved too much and it was so easy to cut off, so it was better to join.
During the contact, Jimo also talked about some things about them, but they didn't mention much. The most talked about was Yiyi Yaya's two children who kept clamoring to find Chen Fang. The two children were very worried that Chen Fang would forget about it after wandering outside For the two of them, sometimes impulsively, they want to bring back Chen Fang, the uncle who has not returned home, with a "justice from heaven" directly through the contract. Do.
After talking trivially, Chen Fang told Jimo about his situation, including his experience after being hunted down by the Soul Seed, and the purpose of going to the southern border this time, and asked her to help find Gong Xiaobai See if you can ask for the right of first refusal for supplies, or ask Yu Mei to ask her sister, who is the current wife of the emperor, for help.
Chen Fang did not hide why the right of first refusal was required, and directly told Jimo about the situation of the Luo Luo sisters and the fact that they were accepted as disciples. Very disdainful, said that it must be done well.
For Jimo to take over this matter, Chen Fang was naturally relieved.
Although he swore in front of Xiang Fangshi before, he also knew that because he saved Gong Xiaobai's life, and because of his charming relationship, it should not be difficult to get the priority from the Gong family, but he actually didn't know how to do it. I feel a little uncertain about how to operate this matter. With Jimo's help now, he can just take people there to complete the transaction.
The two communicated for a long time, and finally Jimo said "waiting for you to go home" as the concluding remark, ending the contact.
Since then, every time Chen Fang thought of these four words, an inexplicable emotion would surge up in his heart. He couldn't describe it. It might be moved or satisfied or mixed with other emotions. This feeling is right. He is a person whose body belongs to this world and whose soul belongs to a different world. Anyway, in the next few days, he looks like he walks and walks with a smile on his face. .
...
With the protection of a tall city wall, except for the relics and specific areas within the border wall, other places are safe, and after thousands of years of development, there are a large number of small towns and villages distributed between the walls besides the cities. , especially on both sides of the city gate avenue between the two walls, except for some special terrain or side roads, basically all of them are occupied by buildings, so the various shops and stalls on the road, as well as the people coming and going are very lively. Chen Fang needed to take care of the sleeping Luoluo sisters, and he still had other things to do. He really wanted to go for a walk and feel the customs and customs of the southern border.
It took four days for the convoy to reach the third border wall area, where they stopped, because from the seventh border wall to the third border wall, you can pass freely, but from the second border wall to the first border wall, you need Entry is only possible with a specific pass issued by the royal family.
Naturally, the motorcade of Qiuxu City did not have a pass. According to the original plan, when they came this time, they had to contact the second prince of the Demon Race with whom they traded, and then wait for the other party to send someone to issue it. However, because of Chen Fang, this matter fell on the on him.
Chen Fang didn't know about this matter. After knowing it, he could only contact Jimo again for help. Fortunately, Jimo was considerate and asked for a pass when he was talking to Gong Xiaobai, and he had already sent someone to send it over. There are also two little guys who want to die because of their uncle.
Chen Fang was full of praise, and praised Jimo for his foresight.
During the contact, Jimo also mentioned that he had asked for the right of first refusal for Chen Fang. Although the process was a bit troublesome, he finally got it with the help of Wu Mei and her sister, and he just waited for Chen Fang to come back and register.
Chen Fang was overjoyed when he heard this, the matter was considered a success, his two disciples were finally freed, but at the same time he owed at least two favors, one for charming and one for her sister Gong Xiaobai's mother.
There is also a distinction between favors, one owes affection to friends, and one owes benefits to others.
The former deepens the connection and becomes entangled with each other, and it becomes more and more difficult to get rid of at the later stage, causing a lot of trouble;
The latter only look at the gains and losses of benefits, and they only need to pay the price if they want to decide.
The superficiality mentioned here is only two points on the subject of the favor owed.
The favor owed by Chen Fang is undoubtedly the former, because there is no exchange of interests between them, and they are entrusting friends to do things, so it is difficult to repay this favor, but Chen Fang has no choice but to get the right of first refusal to release the two sisters. Only this way.
If the favor is owed, it will be owed. In the future, I will slowly find a way to find an opportunity to pay it off. Maybe people don't necessarily need it. After all, the status and status of the two parties are too different, and it may not be needed if something happens.
After waiting at the third border wall all night, Wenren and Yiyi Yaya, who came overnight, found the place where Chen Fang said the convoy was stationed early the next morning.
