Chapter 1307 Coincidental encounter with Wang Fangyi

On the construction site of the towering Khan Avenue, Ping'anlang had a simple lunch and was about to go back, but unexpectedly, a cavalry suddenly rushed to the north, which made him stop and watch. In a short while, a murderous cavalry rushed towards him.

The road has not been repaired yet, and the cement on the road is solidifying and cannot be passed at all, so these cavalry can only pass by from the side. However, the construction site where the road is built is full of soil, which has been very dry these days, making the floating soil on the ground half a foot thick. The cavalry rushed to sweep endless dust. When the cavalry rushed over, the cavalry were all yellow, and even their faces were covered with dust, and their original faces could not be seen clearly.

Ping Anlang didn't find it strange to see this cavalry running by. After all, with the establishment of the Anbei Protectorate, the Tang Dynasty continued to send troops to the grassland. Although most people in the grassland dared not resist and were willing to accept the rule of the Tang Dynasty, there were still a few people in the grassland who were unruly. For this reason, they continued to fight during this period. Of course, the scale was not large, and there was no force on the grassland that could threaten the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the Tang army usually chased the grassland people and fought. Here, it was close to the Xishoujiang City, and some troops could often be seen entering and leaving.

But what Heianro didn't expect was that the small-sized cavalry had just run over in front of him, but suddenly ran back in circles. Then a general in charge came to him and flew off the horse, looking at him in surprise and shouted: "Brother An, why are you here?"

The general's face was covered in dust, and he could not see his original appearance. However, his figure made Heianlang feel a little familiar. When the other party opened his mouth, he immediately stepped forward in surprise and hugged the other party and shouted: "Fang Yi! Where did you come from? It's a coincidence to meet you here!"

This general was Wang Fangyi, a student of Li Xiu. He ran past just now because he was too fast to recognize Hei Anlang. He rushed out and ran out to meet Hei Anlang before he realized that he turned around and met him. Speaking of which, when he was studying at Li Xiu's home, he had the deepest relationship with Hei Anlang, but later he decided to join the army and went to the military academy. Only then did he have less contact with Hei Anlang, but the two of them kept in contact with him in letters.

Wang Fangyi hugged Ping Anlang and laughed, but then he suddenly found that his body was covered in soil, which stained Ping Anlang's official uniform, which made him feel embarrassed: "I don't have time to wash my body with soil and sweat, but I heard that you were sent here to serve as the governor. Now it seems that you have taken office?"

"Haha, I have only been in office for two months, but where did you know that I was the governor?" Ping Anlang first laughed loudly, then asked immediately. Wang Fangyi graduated from the military academy two years ago and then came to the army to work. Although they have been in contact with letters, Wang Fangyi's residence has been changing, and sometimes he can't receive letters to him. Now both of them have been disconnected for more than half a year.

"This is a coincidence. I met Brother Jin half a month ago. It was from him that I knew you were going to work in Anbei Protectorate. However, I don't know which state you are in. I plan to go to the Protectorate to inquire about it this time, but I didn't expect to meet you here!" Wang Fangyi laughed again and said, meeting an old friend in a foreign land is one of the four great joys in life.

When Ping Anlang heard that Wang Fangyi actually met Li Jin, he was even more happy. Li Jin came to the northern border a few months earlier than him, and then followed the army to fight. He didn't know where Li Jin was now, but he didn't expect that Wang Fangyi had met Li Jin. This was a coincidence, so Ping Anlang hurriedly pulled Wang Fangyi and sat down and ordered people to fetch water to wash his faces for Wang Fangyi and others.

Wang Fangyi was not polite to Ping Anlang. He took off his helmet and washed his face. As a result, a basin of clear water immediately turned into mud and water. At this time, he finally showed his true face. He saw that Wang Fangyi was much more mature than when he was in Chang'an. His skin on his face became dark and rough, and he had a big beard, that is, Ping Anlang and him grew up together, otherwise he would not be able to recognize him.

"Have you eaten?" Ping Anlang asked this question, and immediately slapped his head and asked someone to serve Wang Fangyi. After all, Wang Fangyi and others knew that they had been traveling a long distance and they definitely had no time to eat. At most, they would just eat some dry food on the horse's back.

In a short while, a small official served the meal for Wang Fangyi and his soldiers. It was impossible to prepare any food alone on the construction site. It was still the chowder and sweet potatoes that Ping'anlang had just eaten. This made him apologize: "Fang Yi, this is a road construction site, and there is no good food. I will treat you well when you arrive in Yunzhou next time!"

"Hehe, Brother An is polite. Now I am satisfied with eating hot food!" Wang Fangyi took the dishes without any disgust at this time, and then he didn't care about talking to Ping Anlang. He ate three bowls in one breath before stopping. As for the soldiers under his command, they all looked like hungry wolves. In the end, not only did he finish the chowder, but they even gnawed all the sweet potatoes he prepared.

"Comfortable!" Wang Fangyi patted his stomach and breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Ping'anlang and said, "I have something important to go to Xishoujiang City when I come back this time. Except for having a full meal in Jitianzhou three days ago, I can only eat dry food these days, and now I finally have a full meal!"

Hearing Wang Fangyi's words, Ping Anlang felt sad. Although Wang Fangyi was not liked by Princess Tong'an, he had been frugal since he was a child. However, when he was eating just now, he looked like a beggar who had been hungry for a few days. He did not have the aristocratic demeanor. What made him even more sad was that his younger brother Li Jin was also in the army, and he probably had never been better than Wang Fangyi.

"Fang Yi, what's wrong with you when you come back this time? If I can stay in Sujiang City for a few more days, I can go to find you. Where is the other second brother now? He came to Northern Xinjiang earlier than me, and I haven't contacted him yet?" Heianlang asked after a moment.

"I came back this time to report my work, because I was ordered to wipe out several rebellious tribes some time ago, and the superiors wanted to promote me. I guess I could become a commander when I came back this time and I would be stationed in a state at that time. It would be great if I could be assigned to your Yunzhou. As for Brother Jin..." Wang Fangyi answered immediately, but when he talked about Li Jin, he suddenly became a little hesitant.
