Although they have been together for a long time, Xiang Qingniu still keeps a respectful distance from Mu Xiaoyao. Even though he had no choice but to be in the same carriage, he still chose to sit down farthest from Mu Xiaoyao. Fang Jie had made sure that this person was definitely not a bitch who used such despicable means to get Mu Xiaoyao's idea. Because Xiang Qingniu would sweat every time he saw Mu Xiaoyao, or to be precise, every time he saw a woman.
Fang Jie once asked Xiang Qingniu if a certain woman had given him such a painful childhood that the fat man was now afraid of any woman when he saw her. It was still a sincere fear.
But Xiang Qingniu just didn¡¯t say anything, even when he was beaten.
So after Fang Jie solved his problem of losing energy when he was hungry, he immediately pulled Fang Jie out of the carriage, ran to the front and sat down next to the big dog. He panted several times before regaining his composure. For him, a fairy-like woman like Mu Xiaoyao put too much pressure on him.
Xiang Qingniu noticed that when Fang Jie looked at the Red Sleeve Recruitment convoy a few hundred meters ahead, there was some imperceptible disappointment in his eyes. He knew that it was because the people on the Red Sleeve Recruitment side had deliberately distanced themselves, which made Fang Jie I felt a little uncomfortable.
Xiang Qingniu smiled and said, "Actually, this is human nature. You don't need to blame them for being cold."
Fang Jie shook his head: "This world is inherently indifferent. I am a person who only cares about the snow in front of my door and doesn't care about the frost on other people's tiles. How can I expect someone to draw a sword to help me when I'm in danger on the road? In fact, human relationships are inherently cold. Where can I find this? There are so many heroes and heroines in the story?¡±
"Then you still look like this."
Xiang Qingniu sarcastically said: "I feel sour at the same time, and at the same time I'm trying to cover it up It's pretentious."
Fang Jie was startled and couldn't help but want to kick the fat man off the carriage again. The fat man quickly made a gesture of begging for mercy and said flatteringly: "Actually, why do you pretend to be so uncomfortable? Just chase them and walk with them without even chasing them away. Anyway, if it were me, that's what I would do."
¡°There¡¯s no need to hurt others.¡±
Fang Jie sighed: "Although I'm not a good person, there are some things I still can't do after all."
When he said this, he suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Cui Lueshang, who was riding a horse on the side and bowed his head in silence. The young master from this aristocratic family suffered blows one after another, and his face became extremely ugly. I don¡¯t know if he is still sad about the death of the guard, but he has been silent all day. Since Fang Jie and the others buried the bodies on the spot, he has not talked to Fang Jie or the others.
Fang Jie tried to persuade him a few words, but he just remained silent.
"Brother Cui"
Fang Jie called out, Cui Lueshang turned to look at him but did not respond.
Fang Jie thought for a while and said: "There is something I can't say out loud, but I still have to say it. I know Brother Cui is righteous, but when it comes to life and death, I still have to advise You and I are not the same people in the first place. This There is no need for you to get involved in this matter. There are experts protecting the Hong Xiu Zhao team. Even if you just ride behind their team, it will be a hundred times safer than following me."
Cui Lueshang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
Fang Jie continued: "Speaking of you and I, we just met by chance. There is really no need for you to go with me. You must have guessed that those assassins have a good background, and it will be extremely troublesome if they are entangled. You have a great future, why should you die in vain? ?¡±
Cui Lueshang was silent for a while, looked at Fang Jie and said seriously: "You and I are not casual acquaintances."
Fang Jie angrily said to Le: "No matter what the friendship is, there is no need for you to stay."
Cui Lueshang said with a hoarse voice: "You saved me once under Mushan Mountain. It was a life-saving grace. Although Cui is not a man, he still understands the principle of repaying kindness. Now if you are in trouble, if I turn around and run away How can I stand in this world with dignity in the future?¡±
He paused for a moment and continued: "Besides My followers are all dead, so it's no longer my business Killing my family, even just some servants, is a blood feud for me!"
Fang Jie was shocked. He really didn't expect Cui Lueshang to have such courage. I wanted to offer some more advice, but I didn¡¯t know what to say.
Xiang Qingniu sighed and said: "He is a good man, but he is too idiotic."
Cui Lueshang glared at him and said, "There are certain things that a man should do if he doesn't."
The big dog thought for a while and said, "Your father will be angry if he knows."
Cui Lueshang was silent for a while and then shook his head and said: "I am not the only son of him. If unfortunately I die, I will work as a cow and horse in my next life to repay my father for raising me. If I am lucky enough to survive, my father willI'm afraid that I will feel that I am doing the right thing. "
Fang Jie rubbed his nose, suddenly grabbed Xiang Qingniu's neck and asked fiercely: "Have you seen this kind of courage? Look at your dirty behavior of being greedy for life and afraid of death! If you don't say those things again, Why are you here, do you believe that I will strip you naked right now and use a riding crop to poke your vagina open?"
"No need to ask himI know."
Cui Lueshang looked at Li Xian and said solemnly, "Although I have no knowledge or skills, I still remember some of the secrets of the court that my father once mentioned. My father once said that the most terrifying people in the world are not the martial arts masters, but a group of disciplined people." Yan Ming's assassins. When you were talking just now, I suddenly thought that maybe these assassins are the ones my father mentioned."
"who?"
"The Great Sui Dynasty Love Yamen."
¡¡
¡¡
What Cui Lueshang knew was only some secrets that his father occasionally mentioned, and these secrets came from the noble concubine of the Cui family in the palace, but she was not of high status before and did not know too detailed things. Besides, these things did not arouse his curiosity at all for Cui Lueshang. But today when I was feeling sad, I suddenly thought of it. But he didn't know much, and he couldn't explain it all.
Very few people know about the Sui Dynasty Qing Yamen.
But obviously, Fang Jie is sure that Xiang Qingniu must know very clearly. The old cripple over there at Red Sleeves must also know. Otherwise, he wouldn't have looked at Fang Jie with that look before leaving. Nor would they say the sentence: "They are assassins who kill assassins, and scouts who kill scouts."
Fang Jie is a frontier army scout. He can understand the power contained in the words "scout who kills scouts".
Finally, under the threat of Fang Jie not to give him meat or wine, this fat Taoist with no moral integrity finally relented. But this mouthful was not in vain, he took away all the candy stock from Fang Jie.
"Everyone knows that there is a yamen in the Imperial Capital of the Sui Dynasty that guards the imperial city and protects His Majesty the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty. It is also responsible for arresting the rebels and rebels in the imperial court. Although the official leading the yamen does not have a high position, he is extremely powerful. The people of the imperial capital also Well, no matter who is an official, he will feel fear when he hears the name of this yamen. Even the high officials of the third rank and above must speak politely to the commander of this yamen, and there are even many flatterers. "
Xiang Qingniu cleared his throat and said, "It's the Imperial Guard's Office."
Fang Jie was startled and couldn't help but ask: "Are you saying that the people who ambush and assassinate me before were people from the Ouchi Guards?"
Xiang Qingniu waved his hand and said: "No, no, if the imperial guards are so capable, there will be so many people in the world who want to kill the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty. How come the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty is still alive and well? Although you can't practice, you can still You also know what is the most scarce thing in the world, right?¡±
"What is it?"
"Idiot! Of course he is a ninth-grade master!"
Xiang Qingniu said seriously: "There are very few people in this world who can cultivate to the ninth level, but there are two in the Imperial Guard Department. One is Luo Weiran, the commander of the Imperial Guard Department. Many people know that he is His Majesty the Emperor's Personal bodyguards. It is said that the remnants of the Shang Kingdom sent many masters to ambush and assassinate the emperor when he was patrolling Jiangdu in the south. The masters of the remnants of the Shang Kingdom came out in full force, but their whereabouts were traced before they could take action. That time Luo Weiran was shocked to death with his bare hands. Twenty-three masters of Shang Dynasty."
"You have always claimed to be a master, master, master, master, then what level are you?"
The big dog couldn¡¯t help but ask.
Xiang Qingniu blushed and said angrily: "Do you want to hear it? If you want to hear it, don't interrupt!"
He threw a piece of candy into his mouth and chewed it while saying: "On the surface, the duties of the Ouchi Guards Office are very simple. They are only responsible for the safety of His Majesty the Imperial City Guards, and when necessary, cooperate with the government to arrest fugitives and rebels. But in fact The Ouchi Guard Office is not one yamen at all, but two. "
He raised his chin proudly: "Those who know this secret are all important officials in the Sui Dynasty. Although this is not something deliberately concealed, due to the responsibilities of another yamen, the emperor still strictly orders those who know to try not to Side story. So until now, not many people know about this yamen, and I happen to be one of them. "
"Many important ministers don't know, why do you know?"
Fang explained the question.
Xiang Qingniu said seductively: "Don't worry about it. I won't tell you if you ask. Even if you spend ten thousand taels of gold to buy this news, I won't sell it."
"Actually, the Ouchi guards are divided into two yamen. One is responsible for protecting the emperor, and the other is more mysterious, called the love yamen Of course, it is not a yamen responsible for romance, but a yamen responsible for collecting intelligence, and even The assassination was carried out by a group of madmen and perverts.Hou Wenji, the deputy commander of the Internal Security Department, is in charge. He also has an official position called Qingya Town Assistant. Of course he is the other ninth-grade master I mentioned. The two most special people in the officialdom of the Sui Dynasty were Luo Weiran, the commander of the Imperial Guards Department, and Hou Wenji, the governor of Qingya Town. "
"These two can be said to be the emperor's eagle and the emperor's dog."
Xiang Qing paused for a moment, maybe because the candy was so sweet that it clogged his throat, he poured some saliva into it and continued: "The main responsibility of Qing Ya is to secretly track down all those who are unfavorable to the emperor, not just those within the Sui Dynasty. People are not only those who oppose the imperial court in the Sui Dynasty, but also those who investigate the spies of other countries who have infiltrated the Sui Dynasty. When necessary, they will go out with the army to clear out the enemy's scouts. "
"That's why Hongxiu recruited that old cripple who didn't know his background but was well-informed. He said that the people in Qingya are assassins who specialize in killing assassins, and scouts who specialize in killing scouts."
Hearing this, Fang Jie couldn't help but take a deep breath: "You mean, I'm being targeted by someone from the love office now?"
¡°Nine times out of ten, it¡¯s those people.¡±
Xiang Qingniu said: "It's impossible to tell the difference between the people in Qing Yamen. Maybe Zhang San, who sells meat in the imperial capital, Li Si, the salesman who walks in the streets, or even Gong Wangwu, the turtle in the brothel, and the nurse in the casino Low-profile people like Sun Liu may be spies of Qing Ya. Only Hou Wenji and His Majesty the Emperor know how many subordinates there are, not even Luo Weiran."
"There is a team in Qingya specially responsible for assassination. Not only are there experts, but there are also some ordinary people who have been specially trained. They are more effective at killing people than the experts. Because these ordinary people are the most difficult to guard against."
After he finished showing off the secrets he knew, he said quietly: "Now do you think it is your great luck to meet me?"
"Who are you?"
Fang Jie looked at Xiang Qingniu and asked seriously.
Xiang Qingniu smiled, patted his magnificent chest, which could make a girl jealous, and said proudly: "Didn't I tell you? I am one of those very, very high masters, and I also have an extremely mysterious ability. I have a profound background. Although I have been deliberately keeping a low profile, I still can¡¯t hide my romantic nature and world-defying cultivation.¡±
He thought for a while and then added: "In addition, I am really the invigilator for the admissions of the Yanwu Academy this year."
