Fang Jie was very curious about what the thing in Xiao Ding Dian¡¯s hand was, because the tooth general whose neck was being strangled by the old cripple opened his eyes wide immediately after seeing the thing. His face, which had turned the color of pig liver due to difficulty breathing, actually turned a bit red due to excitement.
Fang Jie could tell that the tooth general had a very sincere and deep respect in his eyes when he saw the token.
The old cripple let go of his hand, looked at Li Luo and snorted coldly.
Li Luo gasped for breath for a while before he recovered. Even if he was a sixth-grade expert, it would still be uncomfortable to have someone's throat stuck. After his breathing barely returned to normal, Li Luo did something that surprised Fang Jie.
He straightened his shirt, then knelt down on one knee and solemnly performed a Sui military salute.
This time, Fang Jie became more interested in the thing in Xiao Ding Dian¡¯s hand.
"No wonder there are such masters around me. Forgive me for my blindness. I didn't know that this noble person is here. This soldier is worshiping the owner of this thing. Although I don't know who is holding this thing now, and how did this thing come to be in your hands? Yes. But as a soldier, you should salute when you see this thing."
After saying these words, Li Luo stood up and glanced at Fang Jie: "But it's my responsibility. Fang Jie is a felon that the Ministry of War requires to be apprehended. You have this thing in your hands, I don't dare to embarrass you. But please Don't embarrass me, I must take it away. I have military orders, so please make it easier."
"It's convenient for your mother to have a ball!"
Fang Jie couldn't help but cursed from behind the old lame man: "Is this the dirty thing done by the upright and upright Sui officers and soldiers from the Fifth Grade Ya General? They have something in their hands that you are afraid of, so that's why you just said kill them all. Can you just disappear into nothing? I have nothing to fear, so you have to obey the Sui military order?"
"Tell me where the military order came from and who issued it! There are also official documents from the Ministry of War. Please show them to me. If you let me see these two things, I will wipe my neck and die without you having to do anything. ! Although I am young and have not seen much of the world, I am still an upright member of the Sui frontier army! I have made twenty-one military exploits in Fangucheng and killed dozens of bandits with one sentence of military orders! Just want to kill me?"
Li Luo's face turned red instantly.
He was a qualified Sui soldier, so he had to obey the orders given by his superiors. But Fang Jie's words really made him feel ashamed. It was precisely because he was a qualified soldier that he felt guilty. He knew the hard work of the border soldiers and what the twenty-one military exploits represented.
How many times did he get back through life and death? As a soldier, how could he not understand?
Fang Jie took two steps forward with the horizontal knife in hand, until he walked not far from Li Luo. He slowly raised the horizontal sword and put it on his neck, stretched out his other hand and shouted: "Give me the official document from the Ministry of War! I will die in a clear death!"
After this loud shout, there was a burst of whispers among the Sui warriors not far away. Li Luo couldn't help but look back at his subordinates. Those faces he was familiar with were full of doubts.
"I don't have the official document from the Ministry of War."
Li Luo took a deep breath: "I acted according to military orders. You come with me. If you are really wronged, no one will make things difficult for you. You should believe me. There is no room for bending the law for personal gain in the army."
"Believe you? I believe you have turned into a porcupine a long time ago!"
Fang Jie coldly snorted and said sarcastically: "You have disgraced the Sui soldiers! Are you sorry for the iron armor you are wearing! If you are as you said, favoritism and bending the law are not tolerated in the Sui army? Then you didn't care before. What are you doing by ordering a hail of arrows? If you have a clear conscience, why don't the team display the battle flag of the Great Sui Dynasty?"
The old cripple looked at Fang Jie and quietly gave a thumbs up.
After Fang Jie finished speaking, he stopped talking and looked at Li Luo coldly. His horizontal knife was placed on his neck, and the sharp blade could cut his throat with just one turn.
Li Luo's face was extremely ugly. After being silent for a long time, he suddenly turned around and left: "If you have his things in your hands, you will definitely not do anything to disgrace the Sui Dynasty. I will naturally ask the general for clarification after I go back. If you really commit a capital crime, I will catch you even if I chase you to the imperial capital."
"rest assured!"
Fang Jie looked at his back and said, "You can come to the Martial Arts Academy to find me!"
Li Luo paused for a moment and said without looking back: "I also came from the Yanwu Academy, so I hope you can go in. But what you need to know is that the most intolerable place in the world for wastes and traitors is the Yanwu Academy."Courtyard. "
He quickened his pace, shouting to go back to camp as he walked. Five hundred elite Sui soldiers turned around and left, their movements still swift and neat. After the soldiers walked away, Fang Jie finally couldn't hold on anymore and sat down on the ground. Only then did he realize that his back was already soaked.
"Xiao Dingdian, what is that in your hand?"
Even though he had lost all his strength, the first thing he asked was what that thing was.
"Xiao Ding rolled her eyes at him: "I thought you were really that brave, but it turns out that you got cold feet as soon as they left It's none of your business, just find a place to catch your breath."
The little girl turned around, swung her ponytail and ran back to the carriage.
¡¡
¡¡
"Little guy, I didn't expect you to be a bit brave."
The old lame man sat on Fang Jie's carriage, drank a big sip of Northwest Shao, and said with a smile: "That Li Luo is a straight-minded guy. There is never a shortage of such people in the Sui army. What I admire most is exactly that. The soldiers of the Sui Dynasty are so honest, both soldiers and generals are cute and honest. But because of their straight-mindedness, I am afraid that there will be no good end for me after I go back If I let you go without completing the military order, he will have to shed his skin even if he doesn't die. "
"roll!"
Fang Jie almost shouted this word with all his strength, then pointed at the tip of the old cripple's nose and cursed: "I didn't think of you as a chivalrous hero, but I didn't expect that you turned out to be a villain who added insult to injury. ! Originally, I still have respect for you because of Miss Xiaowaist and because you claim to be a master of the ninth level, but you are so damn useless Get back to your carriage!"
Unexpectedly, the old lame man was not angry.
¡°There seems to be no trace of the demeanor that a truly strong man should have in him.
He picked his nose and said with a smile: "Do you really think that I am afraid of those five hundred minions? Even if they are five hundred people from the Great Sui You Xiaowei Jingbu Camp who can practice, I am a How can a ninth-level master be afraid of them? The Jingbu Battalion and the heavy cavalry are two fierce tigers under Li Yuanshan. But I have a dragon-slaying knife, so will I be afraid of his two kittens? "
He paused for a moment, then raised his shoulder to explain: "Think about it for yourself, old cripple, why do I have to wait until I release the arrow before taking action?"
"Because you are a coward!"
Fang Jie glared at him fiercely and simply looked to the other side.
"idiot!"
The old lame man cursed and said: "Just because I am a ninth-grade strongman, I will not do such stupid things as slaughtering five hundred elite soldiers in one breath. I have to do it if I can't Do you understand? You have to use the smallest possible method." It is the most correct choice to do the most effective thing. It is useless for you to say that you are a qualified scout and have made twenty-one military exploits Bah! I ordered that guy to shoot the arrow on purpose. Although the two people around me are not experts, they can block arrows, right?"
"After they shot out their arrows, I suddenly took action while they were reloading. To capture the thief first, capture the king This requires not only superb cultivation, but also extraordinary courage and wisdom. If it weren't for you You're too stupid to tell you this!"
Fang Jie snorted coldly and said nothing.
The old lame man asked while drinking: "I appreciate you finally standing up and walking in front of the tooth general."
Fang Jie curled his lips and said, "This is courage!"
"fart!"
The old lame man said: "You think what I appreciate is your courage? Can you call that courage? You stand two and a half steps away from the tooth general, which is exactly the length of his arm stretched out plus the length of the horizontal knife, which is an extra inch. , his horizontal knife can easily slit your throat"
Fang Jie was startled and couldn't help but glance at the old cripple.
The old lame man chuckled and said: "Your eyesight, calculation, and mind are all good, but it's a pity If you can practice, I can accept another closed disciple. It's a pity"
"Are you just here to ridicule me for not being able to practice?"
Fang Jie sat up straight and cursed: "Get out!"
He scolded him to relieve his anger, but Daquan and Mu Xiaoyao were frightened when they heard it. Mu Xiaoyao tightened his grip on Hong Ling, and Big Dog put on his gloves, fearing that the old cripple would tear Fang Jie apart in anger. You must know that in the eyes of the old cripple, Fang Jie is really as easy to manipulate as a piece of paper. It can be torn into pieces or rolled into a ball.
"Ha ha!"
The old lame man was still lifeless. He laughed a few times and jumped out of the carriage. He disappeared in a trance. When he looked again, he was already on the carriage in front of him. He was drinking leisurely with his legs crossed and humming some unknown tune.
Northwest wind
Man Juan Tian
Killing Husbands at the Border Fortress
Smoke everywhere
The song of farewell has been sungthe hero's bones are rotten and the hero's blood has dried
I can¡¯t hear the following sentences clearly, and I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s the words he came up with or if the music actually exists. It was quiet and hoarse, but it had a different flavor that made people feel a little uncomfortable.
"You really dare to curse"
The big dog came over, wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed: "Do you know that with just a move of his little finger, he can poke another butthole in your forehead?"
Fang Jie smiled, looked at the old lame man and whispered: "Don't compare him with Lu Xiaofeng, he is even meaner The more you scold him, the happier he will be. Believe it or not. If I scold him every day from now on, I might be dead in a few days." Crying and begging me to be his apprentice!¡±
"Who is Lu Xiaofeng?"
The carriage shook slightly, and the old cripple seemed to be asleep. The two women in the carriage were playing chess. They started playing chess when Li Luo arrived. They didn't finish the game until Li Luo left the team and went on the road again for another fifteen miles. Jiang is still hot as ever, but she has only won one and a half glances after being exposed for so long.
You must know that ten years ago in Chang'an, the imperial capital, a great player like Huai Qiugong, the Minister of Rites, would win or lose against her.
"Did you see it?"
Aunt Xia asked while packing up the chess pieces.
Xi Zhuxin, who was sitting opposite her, did not speak, but frowned slightly.
The old cripple outside the carriage chuckled and said two words in a strange tone: "Freak."
¡¡

at the same time
Chang'an City, the capital of the Sui Dynasty
The most magnificent building in Chang'an City must be the Tai Chi Palace, and the most important place in the Tai Chi Palace must be the Imperial Study Room
The middle-aged man wearing a black embroidered dragon emperor's uniform stood up suddenly. His expression was always calm, but he couldn't help but get excited at this time. He quickly turned around from behind the Long Bookcase, looked at the Ouchi guard in front of him who reported the news, and asked eagerly: "Tell me again, where are you?"
Six-beam crown, flying fish robe, and flowing cloud patterns embroidered on the cuffs. There were only two people in the Sui Dynasty who could wear such clothes. One is Luo Weiran, the commander of the Imperial Guard Department, and the other is Hou Wenji, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard Department and the envoy of Qingya Town.
"The flying pigeon passed the message. The man appeared in Fangu, the northwestmost border town. He only stayed for one day and then left."
"Who did you meet? What did you do? What did you say?"
"First I went to Hongxiuzhao, and then I drank and fist-fighted with a frontier army scout in a dog meat shop. It seemed that I had a special relationship with the scout. I lost the fist-fight, and was slapped on the butt by the little scout ¡ He left Fan Gu that night and disappeared again.¡±
"Hahawhere did such an interesting frontier scout come from? Dare you spank him?"
The Sui Emperor, who was the second most powerful person in the world but always wanted to challenge the most powerful person, his eyes lit up: "Go and bring that scout to the imperial capital for me!"
"That scout seems to have accumulated twenty-one military merits. He has already set off for the imperial capital to take the examination at the Yanwu Academy He is not a commoner. He is only fifteen years old."
Hou Wenji, the governor of Qingya Town, said in a low voice.
"How could he be interested in a common person?"
The emperor couldn't help laughing, rubbed his hands and said: "I have accumulated twenty-one military achievements at the age of fifteen. I have a bright future! Send someone to pick him up. When he arrives in Chang'an, he will bring him directly to the palace. I want to meet him What kind of young man is this young man that you like? Wenji, go to Qingluan Mountainand ask Dean Zhou to come, I have something to discuss with him!"
