- Chapter 54 Lies
The middle-aged man in gray cloth was sitting on the grass about 20 meters away from Fang Jie and the others, holding a wooden ladle in his hand to drink from the horse. There was a gurgling spring beside him. It was small, but the water was clear. The three best horses from Northern Liao took turns drinking water in an orderly manner.
After feeding the three horses and drinking water, the middle-aged man couldn't help but praise: "You know the rules better than people, that's good."
He said Ma is very good, which means that some people are very bad in his opinion. It's just unclear whether this bad person is Fang Jie and them, or whether it is Fang Jie and Qingya Feiyupao who have rushed behind Da Quan. After the three horses drank water, they went to the grassland to graze without making a sound. I don¡¯t know if they are afraid of disturbing the peace and quiet of this place, or if they are afraid of neighing because of something.
The middle-aged man threw the wooden ladle aside and whispered: "A ladle of water turns into a lake. After all, it has reached the extreme. It will be difficult to break through."
I don¡¯t know why, but Fang Jie was not afraid at all when the pursuers were already behind him. He looked at the middle-aged man in gray cloth and smiled and said: "A ladle of water turned into a lake to the extreme, then next time If you want to make the illusion bigger, you might as well use a bucket of water."
The middle-aged man was not annoyed by Fang Jie's words. Instead, he thought seriously for a while and then slowly shook his head and rejected Fang Jie's suggestion: "The barrel is too big to carry around."
This was obviously a bit funny, but his tone seemed very serious when he said it.
Fang Jie didn¡¯t laugh either, because he knew that even if he was half-joking just now, the man in front of him had really thought about it carefully. This is a man who takes everything seriously, so he deserves respect.
"Why did you bring my friend here, sir?"
Fang Jie looked back at the flying fish robes that stopped dozens of meters away and asked the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "I originally wanted to invite the three of you to come together, but my ability is still too low, so I can only invite the girl herself. You two one surprised me with your determination, and the other He has great hatred in his heart, so his defense is too strong. I can¡¯t invite you, so I have to lure you here.¡±
"As for you"
He looked at Mu Xiaoyao with approval in his eyes: "I have a rare sensitivity, and my power of perception is far beyond ordinary people, so I don't need to exert too much effort in thinking, and you can detect me. Since you can detect , I will naturally find a way for you to get here by yourself. You are extremely talented, and if you meet a famous teacher, within fifteen years there will be a powerful figure in this world. "
This is the second person to say that Mu Xiaoyao is extremely talented.
The first one is the unreliable old cripple in Red Sleeves.
"Let's not talk about this in a hurry. What do you want us to do here?"
The big dog took a step forward and slowly got into his fist. He protected Mu Xiaoyao and Fang Jie behind him, looking at the middle-aged man with hostility in his eyes. But in this hostility, there is still a hint of fear that is deliberately hidden but still reveals a trace. Because of what the middle-aged man said to him before, Big Dog suddenly felt a turmoil in his heart.
"You two, I am surprised by how determined you are. The other one is too defensive because he has great hatred
The big dog was frightened because this middle-aged man seemed to see through his thoughts that he had hidden for sixteen years. He now even suspected that this person was not a human being, but was really a monster who had been cultivating in the dense forest for who knows how many years.
"I'm not a monster, just an ordinary person."
Just when Da Quan just thought of this, the middle-aged man suddenly said this. The big dog's expression suddenly changed and he took a step back.
Fang Jie took a deep breath, and then slowly pulled out the horizontal knife. He looked at the middle-aged man and said word by word: "Regardless of whether you are hostile or not, please explain your purpose of coming. Maybe you are really a peerless master in cultivation, but we don't just bow our heads and let others slaughter us." 's lamb.
The middle-aged man looked at Fang Jie and smiled and said: "You are quite interesting. You speak boldly and act like you are ready to fight at any time, but in your heart you are thinking about how to escape I don't know. Should I call you hypocritical, or should I call you cunning?"
He didn¡¯t wait for Fang Jie to speak, and walked forward while asking Fang Jie: ¡°I want to know, you just said that the lake is too calm, and it doesn¡¯t seem real, unlessunless what is it?¡±
"Illusion"
Fang Jie gently spit out two words.
"Illusionthis name is quite appropriate."
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "So manyOver the years, I have been calling this method mirage, but I always feel it is too obscure and difficult to understand. The word illusion you mentioned is very good. When others ask again in the future, I will use these two words to explainThank you. "
He said thank you.
"You're welcome, now you can tell me who you are. If nothing else happens, you must be in the same group as those love yamen Feiyupao behind me, right?"
Fang explained the question.
¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s not right either.¡±
The middle-aged man slowly walked up to Fang Jie and said seriously: "What's right means that I am indeed in love with them. What's wrong means they are here to kill you, and I am here to save you." Yours. Of course, you don¡¯t need to thank me, because if I had been more diligent, you might not have been in so many dangers along the way. I left the imperial capital five days before them, but I walked too slowly because I was greedy for the scenery on the road. A little bit"
He pointed to his nose and said, "My surname is Zhuo."
Then he pointed to the flying fish robes of Qingya: "They all call me Mr. Zhuo."
¡¡
¡¡
Gao Tianbao looked at the middle-aged man in gray cloth in front of him, and his heart couldn't help but tremble. He subconsciously looked back at Meng Wudi, the deputy governor of Qingya, hoping to get some instructions from the latter. But there is no doubt that when Meng Wudi saw the man in gray, his expression turned even uglier than Gao Tianbao's.
"Mr. Zhuo, why are you here?"
Meng Wudi immediately jumped off his horse, ran over in three steps and then gave him a deep salute, which seemed a bit excessive. You must know that his identity is the deputy governor of the Qing Yamen, and this man in gray has no fame, he is just a commoner from a poor family.
With a dignified official position of the fifth rank, he paid a great courtesy to the common people.
So Fang Jie couldn't help but be a little surprised after seeing this scene, so he couldn't help but guess that this middle-aged man was Hou Wenji, the governor of Qingya. But he happened to call himself Zhuo. If he was really Hou Wenji, it seemed that he had no reason to make up an identity for himself. There is no need to partner with Meng Wudi and others to perform a play.
Because Xiang Qingniu didn¡¯t know much about Qing Yamen, Fang Jie didn¡¯t know that there was a commoner with a very special status in Qing Yamen.
"I should have arrived early. When I passed by Meizhuang, I talked with the old owner of the village for a few games. The consecutive defeats only aroused my competitive spirit. As a result, I stayed in that village for seven days, but I forgot about the business Without you It¡¯s over, I¡¯m going to take these three people to the Imperial Capital, you all go back.¡±
The man called Mr. Zhuo said calmly.
"go back?"
Meng Wudi was startled, hesitated and said, "But this is an order from the Governor, and these people are also the key criminals strictly ordered by the imperial court to be captured."
Mr. Zhuo shook his head, sighed and whispered four words: "I'm obsessed with it."
Meng Wudi's expression changed, and he quickly made some calculations in his mind. Before he could think of a countermeasure, he heard Mr. Na Zhuo say calmly: "You don't have to think about how to deal with me. As long as you go back to the imperial capital honestly now, I will pretend that I didn't see anything or hear anything." Come. And don¡¯t think you can hide anything. Lord Zhenfu already knows that I left the imperial capital five days before you, but you still foolishly think you can hide anything. Considering your contribution for more than ten years, am I still allowed to live till now?"
Hearing these words, Meng Wudi's legs softened and he knelt down. He knelt on the ground, kowtowed and begged in a trembling voice: "Mr. Zhuo, please say a few words for Beizi in front of the governor. Beizi Beizi was just temporarily confused and blinded by lard, so he accepted those people." MoneyMr. Zhuo, I know this is wrong."
Mr. Zhuo shook his head and sighed softly: "You still don't know where you went wrong You took money from the Li family and the Ministry of War. This is not a big mistake. That's what you did wrong. I actually think that I can do things in the Qingya that I can hide from the Lord Zhenfu. The Qingya is His Majesty¡¯s love office but the person in charge of the Qingya is always the Lord Zhenfu.¡±
"I know I'm wrong in my humble position, I really know I'm wrong."
Meng Wudi kowtowed and begged, his voice a little torn.
Fang Jie and the three of them looked at each other and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Then there was surprise, and they were all extremely curious about the identity of Mr. Zhuo. The deputy governor of Qingya knelt in front of him and kept kowtowing to beg for mercy. Whoever saw this scene would probably be extremely surprised.
Mr. Zhuo sighed and said: "The governor has already mentioned this young man's matter to His Majesty. If you really kill him do you know how much disaster it will bring to Qingya?"
"His Majesty¡¡"
Meng Wudi raised his head, and his face lost all color in an instant.
"The Governor asked me to leave the imperial capital before you to pick up this young man, instead of criticizing you, stopping you, and killing you In fact, the Governor has already left you a way out. It's you. It¡¯s not right to have such a low vision because of a little yellow and white thing.¡±
When he finished saying this, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Gao Tianbao, with a hint of disdain in his indifferent tone: "You are more courageous than Meng Wudi. You actually have the idea of ??killing me."
Gao Tianbao was shocked. He first took a step back and then couldn't help shouting to Meng Wudi: "Sir, there are only four of them here. We have more than a hundred repeating crossbows in our hands. With your cultivation, even if they are There is no way for the gods to survive! My lord, don¡¯t listen to his temptations and return to the imperial capital after killing them. Who would have known that it was us who did this!¡±
Meng Wudi's trembling body suddenly stiffened, and he watched Mr. Zhuo stand up slowly. He turned around and walked to Meng Wudi and said: "You are right, no one will know about it after killing them. But have you ever thought about it? If I really do this, I will also find a way to kill everyone present today. Kill them all to avoid future troubles? Mr. Zhuo is right, you are more courageous than me Although I have a dark heart, I have never thought of betraying the Governor."
By the time he finished saying this, Gao Tianbao was already on the run.
Meng Wudi just made a gesture, and then raised more than a hundred consecutive crossbows. In a moment, he shot Gao Tianbao into a hedgehog. He fell to the ground and lost his breath before he even ran out twenty steps.
"I'll cut off one of my arms. I'll tell the envoy after I return to the imperial capital."
Mr. Zhuo said lightly, then turned and walked towards Fang Jie and the three of them.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhuo!"
When Meng Wudi heard what he said about cutting off his arm, instead of being scared, Meng Wudi showed a hint of joy on his face. He stretched out his left arm, bit his lip fiercely, and with a pop, the left arm flew out of his body without any warning, sprinkling a cloud of blood mist. The arm flew far away, and suddenly exploded in mid-air and turned into a piece of minced meat.
The pale-faced Meng Wudi knelt down on one knee, looked at Mr. Zhuo's back and said, "Leave your right arm to hold the weapon, and you can do more for Qingya."
"Um"
Mr. Zhuo nodded, waved his hand and said, "Go ahead. I still agreed to let you live, so I won't break my promise. In front of the governor, my words are still of some use."
Meng Wudi kowtowed again, stood up and turned around to leave. Those flying fish robes quickly followed, not even daring to stop for a second.
This seemingly mysterious and powerful Mr. Zhuo quietly wiped the sweat from his hands on his clothes after Meng Wudi left.
He breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, and then said to himself: Fortunately no one knows that my palms get sweaty whenever I tell lies And the biggest advantage of this identity is that I can't tell lies.
