- Chapter 88 Two people and one person
Xiang Qingniu clutched his stomach and trotted away before quickly disappearing without a trace. He didn¡¯t know where to hide in the grass. Watching the plump figure fly away from his sight, Fang Jie shook his head with a smile. Speaking of which, it was just a chance meeting with this fat man. The fat man tried to blackmail him on the way, but he saw through it. Then they walked all the way, and the two of them joked and joked happily, a little bit like they were in cahoots.
Even Fang Jie didn¡¯t expect that Xiang Qingniu could actually stand up and help him at this moment. Although Xiang Qingniu said it was easy, he must have spent a lot of effort secretly to get such an opportunity for himself that could turn a corner. It's just that people like Xiang Qingniu don't even bother to do things that most people take for granted, such as vigorously promoting their favors after helping a lot.
Fang Jie has never been a person willing to waste opportunities.
He took a deep breath, and then walked slowly towards the man sitting in the middle of the tea shop. When he first arrived in this world, he was not used to the exciting life of being hunted. Mu Xiaoyao once told him that if you are afraid, take a deep breath. When facing a crisis, a deep breath may bring you back to life.
Calm your mind, the more critical it is, the more calm you need to be. From then on, every time Fang Jie encountered a problem, he would take a deep breath, which had become his habit.
He walked over and stood not far from the man, and then he realized that he felt a little uncomfortable.
There was only one stool next to this table, and the man sat on it. There was only a bowl of tea on the table, and the man was sipping it carefully. I don¡¯t know what the taste of that cheap tea brick is. Although Fang Jie doesn¡¯t know who he is, he can make Xiang Qingniu say that his life and death depend on this person¡¯s thoughts. This person¡¯s status Apparently it's scary high. Fang Jie even suspected that the height of this person was no longer in the category of the stick, but the hand holding the stick.
There is only one Supreme Being in the Sui Dynasty, and the Supreme Being is also a human being with only two hands. Fang Jie assumed that this person was as tall as one hand, which shows how much he valued this person.
With no stool and no tea, Fang Jie could only stand and be thirsty. But there was no trace of displeasure or excessive humility on his face.
"I have met the seniors"
Fang Jie cupped his fists and saluted.
The man whose exact age could not be discerned did not raise his head and was still concentrating on sipping the worthless tea. He seemed to be waiting for Fang Jie to continue speaking, and he seemed not to care about Fang Jie's existence at all.
Fang Jie remained silent and leaned forward slightly.
After a while, the man put down the tea bowl in his hand and said in a slightly unhappy tone: "I'm very busy."
Fang Jie hummed, then stood up straight and said, "I don't know how to exonerate myself from this matter, but I can't. The person who broke into the military headquarters at night is one of my people, so although I really want to mention it, I can't." Because the people involved will make this matter more complicated, I can only say that she was worried about my death and had to do something stupid that violated the national law. But this person is very important to me, and I can't just watch her go. Die, so we can only escape."
The man frowned slightly, then raised his head to look for a solution: "You are wasting my time. Xiang Qingniu said that you are smart, which is really a compliment to you."
Fang Jie pursed his lips and said: "I can't do anything to her life and death. Maybe in your eyes, this is worthless womanly kindness and the most idiotic idea. In fact, after I decided to escape When I was in the imperial capital, someone also advised me to abandon my companions in order to live alone. It¡¯s not that I didn¡¯t hesitate, but the hesitation was about whether I had the ability to do my best instead of living alone.¡±
"You go"
The man waved his hand and said: "I am not interested in paying attention to idiots or people who think they stick to the so-called moral bottom line. Because the latter are worse than idiots, they are idiots. Go back to your companions, since you value love and justice so much Then you must be willing to die together with your companions. I can accomplish this for you and let you die on the same year, the same month, and the same day.¡±
Fang Jie hummed and bowed again to salute: "Thank you very much."
He turned around and left without any hesitation.
The man was slightly startled, but he didn't expect Fang Jie to actually leave. He didn't expect that this guy, whom Xiang Qingniu called a first-class smart man, was not even willing to work hard. Even if he won't kneel down and beg himself to let him go, he should at least try to convince himself. But this young man did nothing. He just emphasized the poor worthless so-called bottom line that he insisted on.
"There is only one stool and a bowl of tea here Do you feel that you are being despised, so you feel uncomfortable? So that you pretend to be very firm to show that you are not humble?"
he asks.
?After walking out for three or four steps, Fang Jie stopped.
He turned to look at the man, slowly shook his head and said seriously: "If you can guarantee that my companions and I will not die, what's the slightest point in standing thirsty? Senior, if you say you can let us go this time, Then let me kneel down and crawl to your feet to lick your boots, and I'd love to."
Hearing this sentence, three people frowned at the same time.
One is this man who looks a bit domineering, one is the young man with perfect appearance and temperament sitting on the far left, and the other is the person sitting in the curtain of the tea shop.
¡°Well, you kneel down and crawl over first.¡±
The man sitting on the stool suddenly replied in a calm tone.
Fang Jie took a deep breath and asked, "If I crawl over, will you let me and my companions go?"
The middle-aged man did not answer.
Fang Jie asked again: "Or, if I die, you will let them go?"
The middle-aged man still didn¡¯t answer.
Fang Jie was silent for a while, looked at the man and said solemnly: "Although I don't know who you are, whether you are so tall that I can't even look up at you. And I am just a person from the border town of Fangu." The little scout is not outstanding among the hundreds of millions of people in the Sui Dynasty. In terms of identity and strength, you may be an eagle flying in the sky, and I am just a tired ant. But if you are not an official in the Sui Dynasty. It is the enemy of the Sui Dynasty who uses this method to make me beg for a chance to survive. I will only answer you with a horizontal sword, even if I am certain to die."
After he finished saying this, he lifted up his robe and prepared to kneel down on one knee.
After these words came out, someone who had been extremely disappointed with him suddenly brightened his eyes and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly. He raised his hand and knocked lightly on the table, then stood up and left.
The man sitting in the middle of the tea shop heard this gentle knock, his face changed, and then he couldn't help laughing.
"You are his disciple, you don't have to kneel down to me If you had told me about the relationship between you and him when you first entered Chang'an City, who would have made things difficult for you? Who would have dared to make things difficult for you? Even if you did something wrong. , will also give you a chance to change. You should be glad that what you just said saved you, because you have not forgotten your roots You have not forgotten that you are a citizen of the Sui Dynasty, and you have also shown me that your other persistence is What."
"very good"
He said.
The man stood up and said with a smile: "Let's go, I will take you to a place."
He took a step forward and suddenly turned to look at the young man in white sitting on the far left. He frowned slightly, a sharp look in his eyes.
The young man in white clothes was still staring at his tea bowl, as if nothing had changed. But no one noticed that he quietly released the seal held by his left index finger, thumb and ring finger, his fingers trembling slightly.
¡¡
¡¡
Fang Jie knew that he had made the right bet, and he made the right bet again on the edge of life and death.
In the large courtyard of Ouchi's guard office, he looked at the almost ripe fruits on the peach tree and was slightly lost in thought. The man who brought him into the palace asked him to wait here, and then left gracefully. Nearly two hours have passed since he entered the palace. Fang Jie has been standing in the courtyard with no one paying attention to him.
He looked at the peach and really wanted to pick one and eat it.
He has not had any water or rice since morning and is very hungry.
Although he knew that those peaches that were not yet ripe would definitely not taste good, and they would not be so sour that they would be difficult to swallow. But after being hungry and thirsty all day, even looking at a green peach will make one's stomach twitch slightly.
"What are you doing?"
Just when he was staring at a green peach in a daze, someone asked behind him.
Fang Jie turned around and saw a familiar figure.
"I have met Mr. Zhuo."
He bowed and saluted.
Zhuo Buyi walked over slowly, sat down on a stone bench not far from Fang Jie and asked, "Why did I see you staring at the green peach so intently just now? What insights did the peach give you, or did you Thinking of something else?"
Fang Jie smiled and said: "Exalted people always make simple things complicated. Do you think I have learned some life principles by looking at that green peach? It's really not I just feel very thirsty now. And when I look at the green peach, I can imagine that the peach must be extremely sour. When I think of the sourness, my mouth will water, and the saliva will be water Swallow more, and your throat will not be so dry. "
Zhuo Buyi was speechless for Fang Jie's answer.
"I really can't believe that you would still have the heart to joke in such a situation."
He said.
Fang Jie shook his head and said, "I'm really not kidding, I'm really thirsty."
Zhuo Buyi glared at him and asked, "Do you know that you almost died in a tea shop outside the city?"
"Know"
Fang Jie smiled and said, "But I'm not dead."
"You are lucky."
Zhuo Buyi said.
Fang Jie continued to look at the green peach and continued to swallow: "Maybe, my luck seems to be good all the time."
Changchun Garden
Qionglu
The emperor glanced at Luo Weiran, who was standing at the door with a bow, nodded and said, "Come in and talk Where is that young man?"
"Waiting at the Ouchi guard's office."
Luo Weiran came in, lowered his head and spoke.
"how do you feel?"
The emperor asked.
Luo Weiran thought for a while and replied: "Your Majesty already has feelings, so I don't dare to have my own feelings anymore."
The emperor was startled, then laughed and cursed: "A flattering minister deserves to be killed. Say whatever you want, your flattery skills are not good enough, at least it is far worse than Su Buweilai."
Standing aside and waiting, Su Buwei smiled awkwardly, poured a full cup of tea for the emperor and then retreated to an inconspicuous corner. At this time, Luo Weiran realized that Su Buwei was obviously standing next to the emperor, but there was an illusion that he could not be found in the room. He stood there, as if he were a clothes hanger or a stool. of furnishings rather than a person.
Therefore, Luo Weiran paid more attention to Su Buwei, the newly promoted eunuch Bingbi of the imperial study.
Luo Weiran lowered his head and said: "I don't see what's outstanding about this young man, but since he can accept this young man as his disciple, he even gave the world's best little golden elixir to save this young man's life. There must be some truth to the magical medicine, although I don¡¯t see what the truth is. This young man¡¯s body is not suitable for cultivation, and his knees seem to be too weak"
He was referring to making Fang Jie kneel down.
"You are the commander of the Ouchi Guards. He is just a soldier of the border army. Kneeling to you is abiding by the rules of the Sui Dynasty, which is not considered soft. What I am disappointed with is he cherishes his life too much. If a person cherishes his life too much, he will No more loyalty."
"This is what I am worried about, but fortunatelyhe still has the pride that a Sui soldier should have."
"I like this pride."
The emperor was silent for a while and then said: "Bring him to Changchun Garden. Regardless of whether the young man is qualified to be his disciple, after all, this is something that cannot be changed. For ten years, that young man is the last one to see him. If you see him, I want to ask that young man what he looks like now and where he went"
"What about the Ministry of War?"
Luo Weiran asked tentatively.
"Of course we can't just let Fang Jie go and wait until I ask him about it before thinking about how to kill him."
The emperor waved his hand and said: "In addition, let's go check and find out why a little person who is just a frontier scout is surrounded by an eighth-grade strong man as a guard. I am also very curious about this matter. How can an eighth-grade person be protected? In order to save him, the powerful men even broke the law and rushed into the lobby of the Ministry of War I want to know if there is something hidden behind this. "
"Here!"
Luo Weiran responded, then bowed and retreated.
At the same time, in the yard of the Ouchi guard office, Fang Jie looked at the green peach and realized something. He slapped his forehead fiercely and screamed.
"The old cripple lied to me again. Where there are two people, it is clearly one person!"
At the same time, Miao Monk Chenya, who entered Chang'an City, looked at the various forms of living beings on the street, looked at the satisfaction and pride on the faces of the people of the Sui Dynasty, looked at the vigorous vitality and vitality of these people without faith, He couldn't help but frown and said to himself: "Master is right, this is indeed a place where demons are rampant." - Didn't finish reading?
