- Chapter 84 Did he sleep well?
Xi Huamei stood in front of the back window on the third floor and looked outside. The few people in the small courtyard seemed to be discussing something together. She could see the people moving but couldn't hear the sound, so the picture seemed still, which was strange.
Xi Huamei¡¯s eyebrows are very beautiful. Even a man like him once said that her eyebrows are so beautiful that people¡¯s hearts beat. But at this time, these two beautiful eyebrows were almost entangled together.
The backyard of Hongxiuzhao is likely to become the center of the storm for the entire city of Chang'an and even the entire Sui Empire in the near future, because lying on the bed in that small courtyard is a madman who killed the entire Sui army with a single sword.
No matter what, His Majesty the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty could not bear it any longer.
"Xiao Dingdian, go find Fang Jie."
She turned around and gave instructions.
Although she didn¡¯t understand what happened, it was the first time that Xiao Dingdian saw Aunt Xi¡¯s face look so solemn. So she was very scared and had the illusion that she was about to lose something. Aunt Xi has always been the pillar of Hongxiuzhao. If even this pillar begins to waver, how can they, the little sparrows living in the big tree of Hongxiuzhao, not panic?
She held up the hem of her skirt and almost flew downstairs to find Fang Jie.
Backyard
Fang Jie hugged Shen Qingfan and placed her on the recliner, letting her get some warm sunlight. No matter Big Dog or Mu Xiaoyao, they had never seen Shen Qingshan like this. Especially Mu Xiaoyao, in her impression, Shen Qingshan was always such a proud and cold woman. She won't show weakness to anyone, she has been like this since the first day she entered the teacher's door. She is withdrawn and has no contact with all the disciples in her sect.
She looks at everyone with a little contempt in her eyes, and she looks down on those senior sisters. Although she was just a little girl at that time, she never seemed to doubt that she would surpass everyone in this mountain gate. She is just a sword, just like the long sword she holds in her arms. She does not need a scabbard to block the coldness and sharpness of the sword.
But at this moment, Shen Qingshan, who was carried out of the house by Fang Jie, put one hand around Fang Jie's neck, as obediently and weakly as a kitten. She squinted her eyes slightly and rested her head on Fang Jie's solid chest. And her eyes were always looking at Fang Jie's face, and Mu Xiaoyao even mistook Shen Qingshan's eyes for a kind of attachment.
For Shen Qingshan, this is simply impossible.
She looks down on all men, and she also looks down on Fang Jie.
At least it has always been like this before. She has called Fang Jie a loser more than once. More than once, I wanted to throw away Fang Jie and let it fend for itself. On the way to escape, she even once used a long sword to cut a gash on Fang Jie's arm. At that time, Mu Xiaoyao and the others felt that Shen Qing was really murderous when he slapped Fang Jie.
She isolates herself from everyone and is proudly independent.
But why is such a woman so fragile now?
For such a woman, why does she look at Fang Jie with a look of dependence and reluctance?
Therefore, Mu Xiaoyao felt that this must be his illusion.
Fang Jie held Shen Qingfan across his arms and placed the weak woman on the recliner. The moment Shen Qingshan left Fang Jie's arms, the reluctance in her eyes seemed to be even stronger.
Mu Xiaoyao covered Shen Qingshan with the blanket in his hand, and then turned around silently.
"Thanks"
She heard Shen Qingshan say.
Mu Xiaoyao's shoulders trembled slightly, and his expression kept changing. This is the first time in more than ten years that Shen Qingshan has said the words "thank you" to others. And she was saying thank you to the person who she had set as exceeding her goal since entering the mountain gate. At this time, Shen Qingshan seemed to be no longer Shen Qingshan.
Mu Xiaoyao said nothing and didn't look back.
Shen Qingfan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, as if he was proud that he said thank you and Mu Xiaoyao didn't know how to respond. Soshe is still proud of Shen Qingshan. Even at this time, she still didn't want to appear weaker than anyone else. Even though her hand couldn't hold the sheathless sword at all now.
"We have to leave today."
Fang Jie looked at Da Quan and Mu Xiao Yao, and then at the old lame man sitting aside drinking.
Before Daquan and Mu Xiaoyao could answer, he walked to the old lame man and knelt down, kowtowed three times seriously and meticulously. He didn't say anything, and stood up after kowtowing. Wu Dao rescued him, and when he left Sanjin Houfu, he just said thank you to Wu Dao. The old cripple saved Shen Qingshan, but he knelt down and kowtowed.
"Old man, maybe I can only kowtow."
??The meaning of this sentence is that there may never be a time to repay the favor.
Fang Jie said with a bitter smile: "Originally, I wanted to rely on you, but I had to learn how to use the Yishi Knife. But now it seems that there is no chance. No matter whether we can go or not, no matter how far we can go, we will do it." I have to leave, even if I can only escape for one more day, I still have to escape to save my life for this day. Although I met Mr. Zhuo by chance, since he told Sister Xiaoyao that he could survive for three days, I believe him, and he has these three days. It¡¯s a good time to escapealthough I feel a little sorry for Mr. Zhuo.¡±
The old lame man opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
"Maybe hegave you a chance to escape."
In the end, he just sighed helplessly, then lowered his head and stopped talking.
Fang Jie was stunned for a moment. Hearing the old cripple's words, he suddenly felt that he had been burdened with a huge favor again. Mr. Zhuo said that Mu Xiaoyao should be given three days. After the old cripple reminded him, he realized that what Mr. Zhuo meant was that you should seize these three days and escape quickly.
He didn¡¯t express this clearly to Mu Xiaoyao at that time, maybe he was afraid of something.
"Even now no one knows that Shen Qingshan is the person who broke into the military department at night"
The big dog shook his head: "But now all the gates of Chang'an City are heavily inspected. How do we leave?"
Mu Xiaoyao pointed at the package he had thrown on the table and said, "Mr. Zhuo sent it. He said we might be able to use it."
Da Quan opened the package and found several new sets of flying fish robes inside.
Fang Jie was shocked.
"Mr. Zhuo"
He whispered the title, then turned around and waved in the direction of Miyagi.
"More than ten years ago, he was a man of true temperament. Because of this, he was imprisoned in a prison with iron walls and iron walls. The emperor did not want to kill him because of his talent That was a real iron wall. Otherwise, he would not have been imprisoned at all. He was just imprisoned like this. Over the years, his temperament has not changed at all.¡±
The old lame man groaned in admiration.
"He used to be a member of the Qiu family in Jiangdu. He was the only member of the Qiu family to survive being slaughtered by tens of thousands of elites. Although his surname was not Qiu, the Qiu family was very kind to him. He could have run away, but stubbornly sat in Qiu. Next to the old man, the two of them drank together and calmly faced the soldiers swarming in. "
The old cripple said.
¡¡
¡¡
Fang Jie stood, staring at his toes.
Sitting on the chair, Xi Huamei glanced at him lightly, and then asked: "Want to leave?"
"Um"
Fang Jie nodded.
"Luo Yao, who guarded the southern frontier of the Sui Dynasty, was the left-wing general of the imperial court He almost died before wiping out the Shang Kingdom. Do you know about this?"
Xi Huamei suddenly asked such a sentence, which seemed to have nothing to do with what he wanted to talk about.
Fang Jie shook his head.
Xi Huamei said in a calm tone: "Luo Yao actually has two sons. Luo Wen, who won the first place in the martial arts field a few days ago, should be his second son. He was the second son after his eldest son died. A son. That year, Luo Yao was just a fifth-grade general When his eldest son Luo Wu was traveling to Mount Tai with some servants, he fell in love with a woman and took her body by force I found out later. , that woman turned out to be the daughter of the Prime Minister of Lu County."
"Luo Wu was worried that the matter would be exposed, so he took his slaves and killed all the thirty-odd members of the county prime minister's family overnight. Although the matter was done very secretly, it was eventually found out. Later, it was even more It was revealed that Luo Wu had actually sat on the stone chair where Emperor Taizu rested on Mount Tai. This news reached the imperial capital, and the late emperor was furious. He had already made a decree to kill Luo Yao's family, but just when he was about to use the seal. , Luo Yao arrived in the capital."
"He entered the city with four soldiers, naked to the waist and tied with thorns. Luo Wu followed him, looking like a frightened wild dog with its tail between its legs. The four soldiers carried a large box , I don¡¯t know what it was loaded with, but after entering the city, Luo Yao did something that shocked everyone. "
"Just outside the Tai Chi Palace, he personally gouged out the heart of his son Luo Wu. Then he ordered the soldiers to open the box, and Chang knelt down in front of the Tai Chi Palace. The thorn sticks pricked countless wounds on his body, and a bloody man knelt down. I don¡¯t know how many people were frightened by the scene there.¡±
"The late emperor asked His Majesty, who was still the fourth prince at the time, to take a look. His Majesty only took one look at the box and his expression changed. In the box, there were thirty-two heads. Including Luo Yao's father, wife, concubine, and two more Daughter. And his brother, sister-in-law, and nephew who is only thirteen years old.¡±
"Your Majesty asked him why he did this?"
"Luo Yao said that he asked to see the emperor just to plead guilty and submit to the law, and then he committed suicide to apologize. The state has national laws and kills people to pay for their lives. Thirty-two members of Sun Juncheng's family died, and the minister also killed thirty-two of his relatives to pay for his life. The Great Sui Emperor "We dare not blaspheme the laws of the country and the military, but our son should be killed regardless of the crime. The reason why I am not dead is because I want to come to the imperial capital and say that I know my guilt in front of the people of the imperial capital and the civil and military officials of the imperial court."
Xi Huamei finished the story in one breath, and then slowly breathed a sigh of relief and asked: "He did not die in the end because the late emperor was grateful for his loyalty and exempted him from the death penalty and replaced him with thirty floggings. But the thorns on his back were not stabbed. In a perfect place, he couldn't even be whipped, but he was spared in the end. He was now the barrier of the southern border of the Sui Dynasty, and he had received all the glory that a military commander deserved. If he hadn't been cruel enough at that time There is no such thing as Duke Hu now. Do you thinkthat he really didn't know that his son Fei Yang was domineering and bullying men?"
"Later, because he killed his entire family and stabbed his own son, the late emperor felt that he had been wronged every time he thought about it. After that, he continued to reward him!"
After saying that, she looked into Fang Jie's eyes and waited for the answer.
"Very good, really good."
Fang Jie breathed out slowly and seemed to be shocked by this story.
¡°This story is great¡±
Fang explained.
"This is not a story."
Xi Huamei looked into his eyes and said.
"Everything that happens to others is a story, so I am not the protagonist in the story, and I can't do this. If I nod now, let Mr. Zhuo take Shen Qingfan away with the Ouchi guards. We will be taken away together. Perhaps the big dogs were also taken away. They were convicted and had their heads chopped off. With your help, I might be able to live quietly and then pretend that nothing happened and that I didn't know anything, and continue to participate in the martial arts academy. Exam. According to my temperament, I can¡¯t say that in three years I will be able to compete with two other people in the martial arts field and become famous like Luo Wen and the others a while ago.¡±
"This is really possible because I trust myself."
He said seriously: "I have determined a long time ago that once I have set a goal, I will achieve it at all costs. I have never felt ashamed that I am such a villain, nor do I envy those who are respected by the people. A sage and kind person. I never thought that I would be a Buddhist who would not harm the lives of ants, and I never believed that it would be easier to be upright and successful than being vicious. Not much, but I seem to know more than some old people, and I see the world colder than anyone else."
Fang Jie smiled and said: "But I'm afraid. I'm afraid that every night when I lie in bed and close my eyes, evil ghosts will come and bite my toes. My mother once told me a long time ago that ghosts will call the door if they do something bad. I have done bad things, but there is a bottom line. What I firmly believe isas long as I don't touch my own bottom line, evil spirits will not come to me for the sake of my own future. I will use every possible means, but my heart must be very clean towards my loved ones. This is my bottom line."
He turned around and left. When he walked to the door, he turned back and asked Xi Huamei: "Xi everyone Guess, Luo Yao sleeps well every night now?" - Didn't finish reading?
