- Chapter 65: Relying on Oneself and Relying on Others
The days after leaving Lulai County were lackluster. Shen Qingshan, who did not deliberately separate from Fang Jie and the others, hired a carriage and followed Fang Jie leisurely. Fang Jie pretended to have forgotten what happened that night, but she seemed to have really forgotten.
There was almost no conversation between Da Quan, Mu Xiaoyao and Shen Qingshan. Although there was no smell of gunpowder, the atmosphere was still a bit cold. On the other hand, Zhuo Buyi, a calm man who seemed to only be fascinated by the scenery, looked less calm every time he looked at Shen Qingfan. Mu Xiaoyao is also a beauty, but the way he looks at Shen Qingshan is definitely different from the way he looks at Mu Xiaoyao.
I admire Mu Xiaoyao, and I am passionate about Shen Qingshan.
If Fang Jie understood correctly, that look could be said to be fiery.
What I have to say is that Zhu Xiaohua is a mean pig.
It always likes to use its particularly ferocious-looking fangs to gently touch Mu Xiaoyao¡¯s beautiful legs under her red skirt when Mu Xiaoyao isn¡¯t paying attention. When Mu Xiaoyao couldn't help but kick the ferocious wild boar, instead of going crazy, it let out an intoxicating moan.
So Zhuo Buyi blushed.
Ashamed, ashamed.
This is what Zhuo Buyi wanted to say but was too embarrassed to say it.
"When did you turn Zhu Xiaohua into your mount?"
Fang Jie couldn't help but asked curiously.
"The day I met you."
Zhuo Buyi's answer made Fang Jie couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"That day in the woods, I saw Xiao Hua drinking water next to the clear spring, and I couldn't help but want to take it as a mount. So I planned to discuss it with it, but unfortunately it objected."
"Then how did you conquer it?"
Fang explained the question.
Zhuo Buyi glanced at Fang Jie in surprise, and then said in a very calm and natural tone: "Of course it's a fight. It can't beat me, so it has to let me ride When I brought you here, it went to the forest. He bids farewell to his women and subordinates. He is the king of the forest, and all the animals in the forest listen."
"Uh its women, you should say its sows. No wonder I didn't see a single bird in the forest that day. It turned out to be the little flower giving her parting speech."
Fang Jie couldn't help but correct him.
Then he asked: "How did you defeat Zhu Xiaohua? For example, flying swords, spells, etc. The process must be exciting."
Zhuo Buyi looked at Fang Jie like an idiot and said, "To deal with a wild boar, other than beating it with fists so that it doesn't dare to resist, is there any more direct way?"
When she finished saying this, Zhu Xiaohua snorted aggrievedly.
Zhuo Buyi did not intend to dwell on this topic any longer. Although the journey was boring, he still had no interest in such a slightly idiotic conversation.
"If we walk for three more days, we can see Chang'an City, the imperial capital."
He looked straight ahead and sighed, then couldn't help but look at Mu Xiaoyao and asked, "Are you interested in learning something from me?"
Mu Xiaoyao was stunned, not knowing how to answer.
Fang Jie knew Mu Xiaoyao's temperament, so he couldn't help but ask for her: "If I mean if you already have a master, is it considered betrayal to join another master? Although she didn't recognize that master, But after all, it was another person who brought it up first, so I still have to think about it after all. In addition the first one to cry and even kneel down to beg Sister Xiaoyao to be his apprentice is a real person. A master of quality.¡±
Hearing the words "ninth-grade master", Zhuo Buyi let out a disdainful snort.
"Although there are not many ninth-grade masters in the world, there are still a few in the imperial capital by counting them on your fingers. But choosing a master ultimately depends on whether you can maximize your own strength."
He looked at Mu Xiaoyao and said seriously: "We are the same type of people."
He explained: "When the power of perception reaches its extreme, it can easily control people's body and mind. For example, I could make you come to me that day in the woods, and I could make you see the same illusion. If I If you like, I can even let the three of you kill each other at that time. This is the way that suits you. As for a ninth-level master do you want to be trained to be a cold-blooded person who only knows how to kill? "
He couldn't help but said proudly: "Practice is actually an art, do you understand?"
He looked at Mu Xiaoyao and asked: "The reason why I didn't ask you until now is after careful consideration. If you are willing, you can follow me to the imperial guard office after entering the imperial capital. Give me three years."In time, I can make you do what I did in the woods. "
Fang Jie sighed and said: "This is the difference between genius and waste If I am willing to kneel down and beg you, will you accept me as your disciple?"
Zhuo Buyi shook his head: "Absolutely not."
Fang Jie smiled coquettishly, looked at Mu Xiaoyao and asked, "He seems to be more sincere than the old cripple from Hongxiu Zhao, and what he said is right, he is more suitable for you."
Mu Xiaoyao pondered for a while, looked at Zhuo Buyi and asked seriously: "If I encounter any difficulties in practice, will you be able to teach me without reservation?"
Zhuo Buyi nodded: "Yes"
"When we arrive in the Imperial Capital, can you guarantee the safety of me and my friends?"
Zhuo Buyi was silent for a while this time before nodding: "Yes"
¡°So, if I don¡¯t want to be your apprentice, are you willing to teach me?¡±
Mu Xiaoyao¡¯s questions became more and more exaggerated, so much so that Fang Jie couldn¡¯t stand to listen. But just when Fang Jie was about to persuade Mu Xiaoyao, Zhuo Buyi nodded extremely firmly and said: "You can worship me as your adopted brother."
Mu Xiaoyao didn¡¯t say a word. He jumped off the horse and knelt down in front of Zhuo Buyi and kowtowed three times: ¡°Sworn brother.¡±
Zhuo Buyi was stunned, then he jumped off Zhu Xiaohua and helped Mu Xiaoyao up, saying, "It's enough to have someone like you as my adopted sister."
He looked at Fang Jie and couldn't help but shook his head.
Fang Jie said quickly: "Although I took the biggest advantage in the end, don't worry, I won't get into trouble. After entering the imperial capital, I will keep a low profile and will never cause you any trouble."
Just when he said this, Da Quan and Mu Xiao Yao looked at the carriage Shen Qingshan was riding in almost at the same time. The red silk on Mu Xiaoyao was about to move like a snake, and the big dog put on the steel-thorn gloves. Even Zhuo Buyi couldn't help but frown. The little finger, ring finger and thumb of his left hand were bent, and the index and middle fingers were pointed together like a sword.
It was at this moment that Fang Jie realized that the way Zhuo Buyi looked at Shen Qingshan was not fiery but wary.
¡¡
¡¡
Shen Qing's fan did not move, and the murderous aura that filled the air dissipated into nothingness soon after. The big dog breathed a sigh of relief, and Mu Xiaoyao curled up into a sneer.
Zhuo Buyi glanced at the carriage thoughtfully, then rode on Zhu Xiaohua and continued on his way.
The closer you get to the imperial capital, the solemn atmosphere becomes stronger and stronger. The official road has become smoother and wider, and even the trees on both sides have been carefully designed and planted. Almost every hour, you can encounter a group of officers and soldiers patrolling along the official road, with bright uniforms and armor.
The scenery on both sides of the road is no longer beautiful, and more of a neat and tidy place that makes people uncomfortable.
Whether it is the houses in the villages on the roadside or the food grown in the fields, they are all surprisingly neat. With blue bricks and red tiles, every house is almost printed out of the same mold. Fang Jie could imagine how much effort the officials in Gyeonggi Province put into creating such a tidy atmosphere.
As we get closer and closer to the imperial capital Chang'an, there are more and more pedestrians on the official road. But there was no chaos at all, everyone was extremely orderly. Even if you encounter some descendants of aristocratic families wearing bright clothes and angry horses on the road, they will never do anything to disturb the pedestrians by raising dust from their horses.
Rules
This is what Fang Jie sees as the characteristics of Gyeonggi Province.
Under the emperor¡¯s feet, no one dares to disobey the rules. Here, it is difficult to see domineering children of aristocratic families. As for the plots of bullying men and women that often appear in novels, it is even more difficult to encounter them in Gyeonggi-do. Therefore, the scene where Fang Jie wanted to see the dandy bully the common people, but the scene where the little dandy was trampled on by the big dandy again did not appear for a long time.
When he could see Chang'an City in the distance, Fang Jie suddenly made a very puzzling decision.
We won¡¯t enter the city for the time being.
"I have to wait for someone."
Fang Jie explained: "I guess it won't take long for Cui Lueshang and the others to arrive. It's better to wait for them to enter the city together. We are only three to five days ahead of them at most, so we can't wait long."
It doesn¡¯t matter if you have a big dog, and it doesn¡¯t matter if you have a small waist.
"But Zhuo Buyi has something to say.
He looked at Mu Xiaoyao and asked, "Can you follow me into the city first?"
"Why?"
Mu Xiaoyao asked back.
Zhuo Buyi didn¡¯t answer, but looked at Fang Jie for help. Fang Jie immediately understood what Zhuo Buyi meant. He smiled and walked to Mu Xiaoyao and said, "Sister Xiaoyao, you will not encounter any danger when you have arrived in the imperial capital. No matter how arrogant those people are, they will not dare to go outside Chang'an City." Go wild. Since Mr. Zhuo asked you to go into the city with him, you should go first Besides, Shen Qingshan is here, and I won't go out.What happened. "
"Reason."
Mu Xiaoyao looked at Fang Jie and said.
"Mr. Zhuo is just worried that if your other cheap master arrives, it will be difficult for him to take you away. Although he says he looks down on a ninth-grade master, in fact, he is just afraid that he has been beating the drum in his heart."
After saying this, he lowered his voice and asked Mu Xiaoyao: "What kind of strength does this person named Zhuo have? If he is not as good as that old lame man, you can reject him."
Mu Xiaoyao shook his head and smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly: "Since entering the Sui Dynasty, my ability has become more and more useless."
No wonder Mu Xiaoyao was so disappointed. Ever since she planned to leave Fan Gu, she had met several people one after another whose strength she could not sense at all. For example, the proprietress of the dog meat shop, the old cripple from Hong Xiu Zhao, Zhuo Buyi, and even she couldn't even sense the fat Taoist Xiang Qingniu who was not reliable at all.
This is a cruel blow to self-confidence.
¡°That¡¯s a very awesome person.¡±
Fang Jie said seriously: "He has no reason to lie to you. If he had evil intentions for you, he would have succeeded in the woods that day. This person's status in the love office must be extremely high, so you and him There will definitely be a lot of benefits. If I don't get into the martial arts academy, but you can get a status in Qingya, it will be a great thing for us. "
"Since it's good for you, I'll go."
Mu Xiaoyao didn't say a word, turned around and walked towards Chang'an City.
She didn¡¯t even call Zhuo Buyi.
Zhuo Buyi looked at this unique woman and couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head. The other party explained: "I really don't know whether I have accepted a foster sister or a godmother."
Fang Jie smiled and said, "You have such a high status, I'm really embarrassed to let you call me Uncle Qian."
"roll"
Zhuo Buyi cursed and turned around to keep up with Mu Xiaoyao.
Fang Jie looked at the backs of the two people with a smile on his lips, but his heart was full of loss, as if watching his relatives go away. Over the years, he has become accustomed to having Mu Xiaoyao by his side. Although he is not far away now, the deep feeling of loss makes his nose sore.
He looked at the majestic Chang'an City in the distance and couldn't help but whisper: "Chang'an is too big."
People in the same city may never meet each other in their lifetime.
I don¡¯t know when, Shen Qing got off the carriage and stood beside him, looking in the direction of Chang¡¯an City and asked: ¡°How is it? Do you have any thoughts when you get here?¡±
Fang Jie turned his head slightly and looked at Shen Qingshan. He was silent for a while and said, "You are jealous. When Mr. Zhuo wanted to take Miss Xiaoyao as his disciple on the way that day, you had murderous intentions."
Shen Qingshan did not deny it, and a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "The murderous intention did come to mindbut it soon disappeared. I don't think jealousy is a bad thing. On the contrary, jealousy has been a constant problem for me for so many years. The motivation to become stronger. I am jealous of everyone who is stronger than me, so I will surpass them quickly.¡±
She raised her chin slightly, her bright eyes full of pride.
"No one has taught me how to practice since I left the master, but it only took me ten years to be promoted to the eighth level of cultivation. So what if some people meet famous teachers? Master Xiao said that Mo Ningzhi has no foundation in practice. In ten years, she will be a ninth-level master, and the people Mu Xiaoyao meets are also confident that she can become a ninth-level master. But so what In ten years, I am afraid that there will be no one in the world that I dare not kill. ¡±
She smiled and said: "Only by relying on yourself can you become the strongest person in the world. By relying on others you will eventually fall behind."
Fang Jie's mind moved when he heard these words, and he couldn't help but think of his purpose of staying and waiting for Cui Lueshang and others.
Cui Lueshang is a son of an aristocratic family, Xiang Qingniu is an expert in the Taoist sect, and Xi Huamei, the helmsman of the Red Sleeve Movement, has a sign in his hand that even the deputy governor of Qing Yamen is afraid of Aren't these the things he wants to rely on?
On their own¡¡
Fang Jie smiled and stretched his body.
He will not miss any method that can help him grow quickly. He has to work hard and use external forces naturally, he should use as much as he can. - Didn't finish reading?
