Chapter 258 Meeting
People from the Ouchi Guards Department arrived within half an hour, led by Meng Wudi, deputy commander of the Ouchi Guards Department. He was an old acquaintance of Fang Jie. During the half year that Fang Jie was in the secret cell of the Ouchi Guards, he had many conversations with this one-armed man. Fang Jie later learned that the reason why Meng Wudi lost his arm had something to do with him.
Meng Wudi looked at the dead bodies at the bottom of the pit, and then at Fang Jie, who looked embarrassed.
"Who is this?"
Meng Wudi asked.
Fang Jie leaned on the edge of the pit and stretched out his hand when he saw a pipe hanging on Meng Wudi's waist. Meng Wudi frowned slightly, but still took off the pipe, stuffed the tobacco, lit it with a flint and handed it to Fang Jie. Fang Jie took a deep breath from his pipe, and then exhaled a stream of smoke comfortably.
"Fang hates water"
He replied calmly.
Meng Wudi's expression changed. He quickly walked a few steps to Fang Henshui's body and squatted down to take a closer look. Then he couldn't help but shook his head: "You are so ruthless, you can hardly tell that this is a human being."
When he said this, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes. Fang Henshui was the person who killed Mo Wanwan, the professor of Yanwu Academy. Meng Wudi admitted that he did not have such strength. Although he didn't know what Mo Wanwan's cultivation was, how could he become a professor at the Yanwu Academy if he wasn't a powerful person?
Now, Fang Henshui died in Fang Jie's hands.
Fang Jie smiled and shook his head: "Brotherguess who is lying here now if I don't work hard?"
Meng Wudi grunted, carefully inspected Fang Henshui's injuries and sighed: "This guy's physique is very special. If it were anyone else, I would have been killed by you ten times."
Fang Jie said: "Killing once is enough."
Meng Wudi stood up, waved his hand and ordered his subordinates: "Carry this man's body back to the palace guards. This man is a serious criminal of the imperial court. After the autopsy, it will be sealed until the commanding officer sees it in person before handling it."
The two flying fish robes responded and lifted Fang Henshui's body from the bottom of the pit. Meng Wudi was silent for a moment and then called them to a stop. He walked up to him and suddenly drew the knife and stabbed the blade into Fang Henshui's heart like electricity. He twisted his wrist a few times. Fang Jie frowned slightly when he saw his behavior.
Meng Wudi took out the knife, took out a white handkerchief and wiped the blood off the blade: "The Ouchi Guards have been chasing him for a long time"
Fang Jie nodded: "I know."
Meng Wudi took the pipe from Fang Jie's hand. He squatted opposite Fang Jie and took a deep puff. He said seriously: "This is a serious criminal that Your Majesty personally dealt with. It has been the incompetence of our imperial guards for not catching him for so long." . And if it weren¡¯t for you, we still don¡¯t know what Fang Henshui looks like. If Your Majesty asked, no one from the Ouchi Guards was around when you killed Fang Henshui. There is no guarantee that he would not be punished ¡¡±
Fang Jie hummed: "You killed him, I just met him by chance and then dealt with him for a while."
Meng Wudi glanced at Fang Jie gratefully: "I owe you."
Fang Jie smiled and shook his head: "Why do you need to say that?"
Meng Wudi took a big mouthful of his pipe and blew out puffs of smoke: "You know that the current situation of the Ouchi Guards Department is very bad, and I am not afraid of you telling you that for tomorrow's big event, His Majesty actually left our Ouchi Guards Department aside. That's right. , there are a lot of scum in the Ouchi Guards, and there is another shameful thing that you don't know about It is understandable that His Majesty does not trust us, but we can't really go on like this without any merit. , Sooner or later, the Ouchi Guards Department will be eliminated by His Majesty! How can we watch the Ouchi Guards Department be destroyed in the hands of our generation after more than a hundred years of glory?"
"It's not that I am greedy for merit"
He sighed: "Even if it's just a little bit of credit, I'm jealous now. The Ouchi Guards Department must do something. Do you know how hard it is for the commander to support you? I know you asked someone to inform the commander before. Sir, by arresting those stewards, you have given us a great share of the credit. Logically speaking, I should not be in a relationship with Zhan Fang anymore I'm sorry!"
Fang Jie smiled: "It's okay. Whether I killed this person or not, it doesn't mean anything to me. Everyone has difficulties, and I have been there too, so I know how it feels."
Meng Wudi was startled and said in a hoarse voice: "I wanted to kill you back then."
Fang Jie took the pipe over and took a sip: "But I'm not dead, and now I'm squatting in a pit with you smoking a pipe. No one mentioned the past, and they were all forgotten. If there is one person who can't forget it,, that is deep hatred. Both the commander and you were kind to me later on. There is nothing good about me other than remembering who treats me well. "
Meng Wudi's nose felt sore at these words. He stood up and solemnly clasped his fists: "We all owe you a favor."
"Well"
Fang Jie said with a smile: "If we are all well after tomorrow, Hongxiu invites you to treat us as a favor."
He stood up and wanted to dust himself off. When he lowered his head, he realized that his clothes were already in tatters.
Fang Jie smiled mockingly and asked: "Do you know where Wu Yiyi is now? I originally made an appointment with my people to meet at Fanghe Pavilion. But I fought so fiercely that no one came over, and I didn't No need to go to Fanghe Pavilion anymore.¡±
Meng Wudi slapped his forehead: "If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten that Shen Qingshan found the person in Feiyupao earlier and asked someone to bring you a message, saying that Wu Yiyi had lost it and is looking for it."
Fang Jie frowned: "What else are you looking for, this idiot!"
At this moment, Fang Jie's heart suddenly moved. He suddenly turned around and looked into the distance, only to see several ragged people walking towards each other supporting each other from the distance of the official road. The man walking at the front, although he looked miserable, looked so familiar. The graceful figure can be vaguely seen, and the smile on her face can be vaguely seen.
¡¡
¡¡
Fang Jie walked over quickly and held Mu Xiaoyao's hand. There was something crystal clear in his eyes. When he spoke, his voice was a little awkward because his nose was sore: "Sister Xiaoyaoyouhave suffered you. What happened to it that it turned out like this!¡±
Although Mu Xiaoyao looked tired, he still smiled gently and said, "You don't look any better than me."
Fang Jie was still in the mood to joke. He supported Mu Xiaoyao and found a clean place to sit down: "Why are you so embarrassed? Who is chasing you? Could it be that the northwest"
Fang Jie¡¯s expression suddenly changed, as if he had guessed something.
Mu Xiaoyao nodded slightly but said nothing.
Fang Jie turned back to look at Meng Wudi and shouted, "Can you find a carriage?"
Meng Wudi nodded and quickly turned around to tell people to find the carriage. At this time, the official road was controlled by people from the Ouchi Guards Office, and the common people were blocked several hundred meters away and were not allowed to approach. There was a carriage parked in the crowd. Several people in flying fish robes came forward and said something. The coachman did not dare to refuse and hurriedly drove the carriage over.
Fang Jie waited for the carriage to arrive not far away, then leaned over and picked up Mu Xiaoyao.
Mu Xiaoyao's face turned red, and he put his hand around Fang Jie's neck and whispered, "I can leave."
Fang Jie shook his head: "Before you saw me, you could leave by yourself. But now that you are back, I will carry you away."
Mu Xiaoyao felt as warm as a stove, and all the hardships and hardships on the road were forgotten. But she soon noticed something strange about Fang Jie. He was holding her, his arms trembling slightly. Moreover, Fang Jie's breathing was rapid and heavy, and he was not walking very fast while holding her in his arms.
"What just happened?"
She asked distressedly, wanting to struggle down but afraid of bringing Fang Jie down. She knew that Fang Jie would definitely not let her come down, so she adjusted her posture to make it easier for Fang Jie to hold her.
¡°We had a fight and won.¡±
Fang Jie said with a smile, a little proud.
Mu Xiaoyao looked at the charming curve of Fang Jie's mouth, but couldn't help but ask: "Where's Shen Qingshan, where's the big dog, where's Qilin? Who are you fighting with? Why aren't they here? Is this how they protect you?"
"I sent them all out. There is a big event in Chang'an City today."
Mu Xiaoyao said: "Nothing is more important than you!"
Fang Jie shook his head: "Don't blame them, I forced them to go. And I am no longer the weak boy I used to be. I didn't mean to brag. I just killed an eighth-grade master. Eighth-grade ¡I used to be tortured to death when I met someone who wanted to kneel down and kowtow.¡±
Mu Xiaoyao was still frightened, but couldn't say anything else.
Fang Jie put her on the carriage and told the coachman to come to the Yanwu Academy to find your carriage. He took the riding whip from the coachman and gave it a crack. This is a carriage without a shed, which looks a bit shabby. But the two people sitting in the carriage felt very at ease.
"Northwestlost?"
Fang Jie asked after being silent for a while.
Mu Xiaoyao saw the people from the Ouchi Guards following him from a distance, so he nodded and said: "We were defeated the 700,000-strong army was almost completely wiped out, and the entire Mandu Banner grassland was littered with Sui army corpses. We Because he was aware of the earlier withdrawal.?, otherwise he would not be able to come back Li Yuanshan rebelled and colluded with the Mongolian people to attack from both front and back, defeating the Sui army. He also colluded with Yuan Chongwu, Wu Peizhi and Yang Shanchen to blockade the three northwest roads so that the news could not spread at all. The lives of Xujun Wang Yang Kai and Zuo Xiaowei General Jin Shixiong are unknown, and several other generals have died on the battlefield"
"One general and three governors rebelled!"
Fang Jie took a breath of air: "What's going on?!"
Mu Xiaoyao said: "I guess Li Yuanshan has been planning for a long time. He is just waiting for His Majesty to use troops against the northwest. He discovered a huge iron mine in the Shandong Road in the northwest. He was secretly building armaments many years ago. In these years, he didn't know How many were built? It seems that Yuan Chongwu and the others had colluded with Li Yuanshan a long time ago, and Li Yuanshan secretly recruited many people and took away the armor and weapons they built, and dedicated the iron ore to the Meng Yuan people The Meng Yuan people benefited and were able to do it in one fell swoop. Of course I would be happy to annihilate the 700,000-strong Sui army.¡±
Fang Jie pondered for a while: "It turns out that Prince Yi has also been tricked. What will happen tomorrowis he forced to do so? Not necessarilymaybe he doesn't know about the defeat of the Northwest Army."
"Who is chasing you?"
Fang explained the question.
Mu Xiaoyao was silent for a while and replied: "How could Hou Wenji's men, Yuan Chongwu's men, and the governor's men have forced us to such misery if they were just men?"
"Hou Wenji actually turned against him."
Fang Jie sighed, and suddenly thought of what Meng Wudi said not long ago: The shameful thing you don't know His heart moved, and he suddenly thought that Luo Weiran and Meng Wudi already knew that Hou Wenji had rebelled? If they all know, then the emperor must also know. It seems that the emperor wanted to stabilize Chang'an before the defeat in the northwest was exposed!
"You came back just in time."
Fang Jie stretched out his hand and held Mu Xiaoyao's hand: "We can see a big show tomorrow."
"Is it wonderful?"
"It must bevery exciting. Brothers killing each other, although this scene is a bit clich¨¦ and tacky, it must be very hot."
