Chapter 16: You can make money but you can¡¯t bear the loss.
"Oh shit!"
Fang Jie cursed fiercely, and then pulled out the Sui Dynasty's standard horizontal sword from behind. This was the only nostalgic thing he planned to take away from Fan Gu. All the military uniforms were left in the backyard of Jinyuanfang, and the only thing they took away was this horizontal sword.
He had 3,927 taels of silver on him, of which 3,800 taels were banknotes and 127 taels of silver. It stands to reason that these pieces of silver are also memories of Fan Gu City. If you bring them to Chang'an City and see these pieces of money, you will be reminded of Fan Gu. But there is no doubt that money is for spending. A person with Fang Jie's temperament would never be reluctant to spend the money in Chang'an City just because he earned it in Fangu.
¡°Silver has no other use except to buy what you want to buy.
At least it¡¯s not for memories.
The horizontal sword is different. Fang Jie¡¯s name is chiseled on this horizontal sword, as well as the name of his team. Fan Bian's "Team A"these six characters are memories. If nothing else goes wrong, this horizontal sword will be hung in the study room of Fang Jie's new home in Chang'an. Every time he sees it, it will remind him of those acquaintances in Fangu City and the past events worth remembering.
This horizontal sword is the constant connection between him and Fan Gucheng.
And now that he has drawn out the horizontal sword, what he wants to do is to cut off this connection.
Because of this trumpet sound.
As expected, within ten minutes after the horn sounds, the well-trained Sui frontier troops will arrive here. Mu Xiaoyao and Da Quan Shang Guohen may not care about the six flying fish robes, but they will never be able to stop the eight. Hundreds of frontier troops. Mu Xiaoyao only has the strength of the fifth rank, and Shang Guo hates those who are below the fifth rank. Even if both of them are eighth-grade masters, they still can't stop the eight hundred border troops. The combat power displayed by the eight hundred frontier troops was by no means as simple as eight hundred men.
Because the border troops are good at fighting and well-equipped.
The frontier troops had repeating crossbows, hard bows, and even the flowering cannon developed by the Ministry of War of the Sui Dynasty only last year. Hua Pao is a bomb, although its power is much smaller than the bomb in Fang Jie's memory. However, it is undeniable that even eighth-level masters may not be able to dodge hundreds of bombs thrown at them. Even if it can't be killed by the explosion, doesn't it mean it can't be injured by the explosion? With dense arrows and sharp cannons, it is not a fantasy that eight hundred frontier troops would trap an eighth-level master to death.
In the face of powerful military power, no matter how strong an individual's strength is, it will be difficult to play a decisive role.
So Fang Jie drew the knife because he knew he only had ten minutes.
Guarding the city gate were members of Team C. It would take about five minutes for the people on the city wall to run down. The twenty border troops at the gate were the connection that Fang Jie had to cut off.
¡°Go and help Mu Xiaoyao!¡±
He roared in a low voice, and then rushed forward. Maybe he felt very painful at the moment when he drew the knife, because those border soldiers were all his friends. But he won't hesitate at all, because these friends are very likely to kill him tonight.
The military discipline of the Sui Dynasty was as strict as a mountain, and it was impossible for the border troops to disobey military orders.
It¡¯s impossible for Fang Jie to be willing to throw away his own life, even if he has to kill someone for it.
The big dog did not hesitate, and rushed over with a leap. Instead of helping Mu Xiaoyao, he rushed towards the border troops guarding the door. Fang Jie paused for a moment, but quickly sped up to catch up. He knew that Big Dog's choice was the most correct, and it was undeniable that there was some ridiculous womanly kindness in his decision.
If he rushes forward, he will hurt others but not kill them.
??The big dog rushes forward, it can kill but never hurt anyone.
Fang Jie smiled bitterly in his heart, laughing at his naivety. It wouldn't take long for the big dog to kill the twenty border soldiers who were capable but uncultivated, at least faster than him. After Big Dog had killed twenty frontier soldiers, it was estimated that Mu Xiaoyao's side had almost eliminated the remaining five flying fish robes.
This is the calmest choice.
Fang Jie¡¯s hand holding the knife trembled slightly.
Calm down, he told himself that he must calm down. Just as he was taking a deep breath, a Sui standard horizontal sword came towards him. It was the captain who blew the horn who took action: "Fang Jie! No matter what you have committed, don't do this. As long as you stay, I will help you intercede in front of the general."
Team Zheng slashed four times and said something.
He failed to cut out the fifth sword because Fang Jie¡¯s horizontal sword removed his right arm holding the sword. This was the first time Fang Jie hurt someone, but he didn't seem to show mercy at all. Fang Jie would practice this kind of knife technique very hard every day to hurt or kill people. Every time he drew his sword during practice, he seemed to be able to see the enemy in his eyes.
The Sui's standard horizontal knife is very sharp, and removing an arm is as easy as cutting through a piece of tofu.
That teamHe was stunned for a moment, and then let out a shrill wail.
The big dog looked back, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes. When he turned around, a horizontal knife struck his head. His eyes were still looking at Fang Jie, but his hand held the blade just right. He was wearing a pair of gloves with steel spikes on his hands, and the horizontal knife couldn't cut through them.
The next second, the big dog¡¯s other hand had already emptied the heart of the soldier over there. Like a wolf's claw, his right hand stabbed hard into the soldier's heart, and when he pulled it out, there was half a bloody heart in his hand. He withdrew his gaze and rushed toward the other soldier.
three minutes.
Seventeen of the twenty frontier soldiers guarding the door were killed and three were injured. Seventeen were killed by big dogs, and three were injured by Fang. At the same time, Mu Xiaoyao killed the third Feiyupao, and there were three more around her. But it was obvious that the three flying fish robes had lost their fighting spirit.
"Guesswill they show mercy to you?"
The big dog asked.
Fang Jie looked at the three border soldiers lying on the ground wailing and was speechless.
The big dog didn't say anything more and rushed towards Mu Xiaoyao: "Go and open the city gate and go out first. You can't get rid of us two!"
Fang Jie nodded, and then saw the border soldiers on the city wall were almost rushing to the city. He rushed towards the city gate and suddenly found that there were two more people in front of the city gate.
"It's interesting. I didn't expect that little Fan Gu actually has a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. He has two fifth-gradehere is one"
Mu Da shook his head and curled his lips disdainfully: "No quality?"
"You are worthless!"
Fang Jie jumped up high and slashed at Mu Da's head with his sword. This knife was the fastest and most powerful one he had made over the years of hard practice.
¡¡
¡¡
The wind stopped only after dark, but the snow stopped in the afternoon. Just after the shrill wail in the row of wooden houses at the Border Military Academy, Wu Yun seemed to be frightened and turned around to run away. Qiu Xiaoshu is dead. Ever since Wu Peisheng made him the first subject of interrogation, he was actually destined to die.
The people behind may still have a chance to survive, but since he is the first, he will die regardless of whether he makes a bet or not. The difference is that, with Hua Bei, he will wait a while before dying. If he doesn't draw the pledge, he will die immediately.
Hearing this wailing sound, Bian Junya General Li Xiaozong silently turned around and walked outside the camp. Stepping on the snow made a crunching sound. He knew that if he did this, he would lose the support of Fan Gu's 800 border troops. It took him three years to earn this support, which was not easy. But after today, the soldiers will all hate him, and hatred comes easily.
In fact, he did not regret making such a decision at all, because he knew that his future could not be ruined in this remote and cold place.
Life is like a play, everyone is acting.
How could a person who was born in the Sui Dynasty Martial Arts Academy with excellent academic performance, and also came from a noble family, set his sights on this small border town?
"Three yearsis enough."
He whispered to himself and walked out of the camp without looking back. These three years in the border town were the capital for his advancement. For the past three years, people in the court promoted by the Ministry of War could not find any excuse to object. As long as he returns to the imperial capital, he will be promoted to the rank of fourth-rank general regardless of his ability, not from the fourth-rank Guo Yi, but from the fourth-rank Ying Yang.
When the official reaches Yingyanglang, he can open a government office and build a government office.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????Out of the fourth grade, any noble family in the court would be willing to win over a person who has become a fourth-grade general. He has a bright future. As long as he doesn't make a big mistake, it may be possible for him to become a governor after the age of thirty, as Dean Zhou of the Yanwu Academy predicts. A high-ranking official in the border area shines brightly on the lintel.
This is the reason why General Li Yuanshan of You Xiaowei helped him. As for being of the same clan and clan, go to hell.
It was precisely because Li Yuanshan saw that Li Xiaozong had a bright future that he spent a lot of money to win over him. After all, they are all members of the Li family. At the very least, Li Xiaozong cannot be allowed to stand next to others. The water in the imperial court was already bottomless. If he couldn't understand this little trick, there would be no need for Li Xiaozong to return to the imperial capital.
Even if there were no Wu Peisheng, no Li Yuanshan, no law enforcement envoys sent by the imperial court, there would be nothing Maybe he would kill Fang Jie before returning to the imperial capital, because he would not allow any stain on his life history. Since someone has come to the imperial capital, why doesn't he just go with the flow?
When you return to the imperial capital, you need to socialize. To communicate, you need money.
The reason why he gave up his plan to attack Nirvana City was not because of Fang Jie's persuasion. But because he found that this was indeed a way to make money, and he needed money. Reach nirvana?, so that His Majesty can still remember me. It is a recognized fact that His Majesty likes hot-blooded young generals. Even if the attack on Nirvana City causes any trouble, out of the pride of the Sui Emperor, he will not succumb to the pressure of the Meng Yuan Empire.
But this is a risk, and Fang Jie¡¯s idea of ??making money makes him even more satisfied.
With enough money, after returning to the imperial capital, giving gifts to several powerful officials will be more effective than taking down Nirvana City. A kind word from the prime minister can be credited with killing tens of thousands of enemies.
He felt that Fang Jie was a gift given to him by God, but now, this gift is worthless.
When he walked out of the camp, he couldn't help but remember the first time he met Fang Jie. The dirty young man stopped in front of his horse and said shamelessly: "General, do you want to get rich? "
He remembered that what made him decide to talk to this young man was not the sentence "Do you want to get rich", but the first three words that made him feel very happy.
General.
Only a fool would call this little junior general a general. Of course, this is a very comfortable fool. Then he realized that Fang Jie was not a fool.
The three years in Fangu have been wonderful.
This is Li Xiaozong¡¯s definition of his three years in Fan Gu.
He walked along the widest street in Fangu City and spent fifteen minutes walking to a closed shop. He reached out and knocked on the door, speaking in a polite tone.
"Excuse me, are you still doing business today?"
The door of the room opened, and what appeared in front of Li Xiaozong was a young woman with a pretty face and a good figure. Wearing a simple floral blue cotton suit with an apron tied around his waist. Her hands and face were covered in flour, and she seemed to be cooking.
"It's General Li. I'm really sorry. The man in charge has traveled far away, and he won't do business until he comes back."
"Then can I talk to you? There is something very important that I think you should listen to."
Li Xiaozong said with a smile.
The young woman was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
She let the door open but didn't close the door. After Li Xiaozong entered the door, he sat down next to the stove. After sniffing it, he couldn't help but praise: "The most fragrant wine in Fangu City is in your house. I also remember that the name is also pretty called Lihua Niang?"
The young woman took out a pot of pear blossom wine from the counter and placed it in front of Li Xiaozong: "It's a coincidence that you are here. There is still another pot. If you come later, I will drink it myself tonight. But since it is the last pot, I It will be more expensive to sell.¡±
Li Xiaozong hummed, but did not drink: "Although I don't know where you and your wife are from and why you are here, and I don't want to disturb you, I have no choice but to come here today. You can hide it from everyone in Fangu City. But you can't hide it from me However, as long as you don't make any random moves tonight, I will leave as soon as I can, pretending that I have never been here before, but being so abrupt when visiting the master, I can't help but feel panic"
"We, as a couple, should be frightened when General Li comes to visit us personally."
The young woman smiled, picked up the jug and drank it all in one breath: "We husband and wife are the least nosy, and the head of the family is not at home. As a woman, I can naturally avoid it, let alone cause trouble. If it weren't for being timid, Afraid of trouble, do you think we will go to this remote place to do small business? "
"Not caring about other people's business is the state of mind."
Li Xiaozong smiled and said, his face relaxed.
"It's just the person you want to kill still owes me something. If you don't mind, you can pay it back to me for him. Otherwise, who should I go to if the person dies?"
"How many?"
Li Xiaozong could not have imagined that the reclusive master could be such a philistine.
"One piece"
The young woman replied.
"One what?"
Li Xiaozong was puzzled.
"One life"
The young woman took off the apron from her waist, folded it carefully and put it on the table: "I wasted half a pot of ten-year-old pear blossom wine on him in exchange for his miserable life. If you say you want it, go ahead. How can it be so easy? I can tolerate everything in my life, but I can't tolerate two things. First, I can't tolerate being cheated on by that guy Su Tugou. Second, I can't tolerate losing my capital in business! "
