    Chapter 287 An Unexpected Compromise

    The whole Red Sleeve Moves echoed with the wail of Lu Ou. This man who was able to run rampant in Yongzhou City in the southwest and even in the Four Southwest Roads was feeling the first devastation in his life in Chang'an City.  The handsome young man, Mr. Xiao Fang, who was famous throughout Chang'an, still had no trace of his usual gentle demeanor at this moment. He was holding a marble brick and smashing it down continuously. Every time he hit it, there was a splash of blood.

    Xiao Dingdian, who was sitting on the side, was dumbfounded, and the hand covering his cheek was trembling slightly.  It took her a while to realize what she was doing, and she quickly got up to help Fang Jie: "That's enough, don't fight anymore."

    Fang Jie looked back at Xiao Ding and asked lightly: "Is that enough?"

    Xiao Ding pulled Fang Jie's sleeve and nodded vigorously: "We can't fight anymore. He has a military position. If you kill someone, it will be bad for you."

    Fang Jie smiled and shook his head: "What should you do if you are walking on the street and encounter a dog that bites you? If you run away, it will chase you and bite you one after another, no matter whether you are an old man or a child, because it is originally  They are just beasts. Unless you pick up a stick and beat them as hard as you can, especially a vicious dog wearing a layer of human skin, until they dare not even bark.  It turns out that such a virtue has made me gain a lot of knowledge.¡±

    Xiao Dingdian just shook his head: "No more fighting."

    Fang Jie stretched out his bloody hand and touched her cheek: "Does it still hurt?"

    ??Xiao Ding nodded and even the other side of her face turned red. She lowered her head, not daring to look into Fang Jie's eyes, and shook her head slightly: "It doesn't hurt anymore."

    Fang Jie smiled: "Liar How could such a hard slap on your face not hurt? Not to mention your face, I'm still hurting at this moment."

    He slapped the cracked marble brick on Lu Ou's face, and soon half of the domineering fifth-grade general's face became swollen.

    "Master Xiaofang"

    The soldier standing aside clasped his fists and said, "Is that all right?"

    This soldier is very sensible. Although there is hatred in the corners of his eyes, he has not taken any action.  His body was trembling slightly, obviously suppressing his emotions deliberately.  His performance was beyond Fang Jie's expectations.  He originally thought that this private soldier would pounce on him at all costs.

    Fang Jie walked slowly to the door and closed the door of Hong Xiuzhao.  Before closing the door, he smiled apologetically at the people watching. The people suddenly applauded, and some began to cheer.  Fang Jie nodded to everyone and then gently closed the door.

    "What is your military position?"

    Fang Jie walked back and kicked Lu Ou away, who was lying on the ground.  Lu Ou's body hit a pillar, his waist bent backwards, and he let out another painful groan.

    "My humble position is General Lu's deputy of the personal army."

    "You are better than him."

    Fang Jie nodded: "You know more about patience than he does. This is the quality of a soldier. I thought you would pounce on me to fight for your general, but you didn't."

    "I am not your opponent."

    The soldier looked at Fang Jie, his eyes fixed on Fang Jie's face.  It seemed that he wanted to remember this face firmly. Although his tone was very humble, the dissatisfaction in his bones was still very clear.

    "I guess¡­¡­"

    Fang Jie walked up to the soldier, was silent for a while and said: "General Luo must have said this when he taught you Generals and soldiers who only know how to move forward recklessly are unqualified. They must be able to see clearly.  The situation, you have to be patient when you need to be patient, remember what your enemy looks like, and you will never be merciful when you have the strength to take revenge, right?"

    The soldier was startled, with a trace of fear clearly flashing in his eyes.

    "You don't have to answer, because your eyes have already told me the answer. I have heard a little about what kind of temper General Luo is. I dare not judge the rights and wrongs of a general, but I will never allow anyone to trample on me at will.  Dignity. You are a soldier, and so am I Also, you really shouldn¡¯t look at me like that, and you shouldn¡¯t look at me so carefully.¡±

    Fang Jie suddenly punched the deputy's heart. Under the huge force, the deputy's body immediately hunched forward, and the clothes on his back were torn apart with a pop of force.  A hole.  A big bump bulged out on his back, and broken bones poked out of the big bump.

    "Feel sorry"

    Fang Jie whispered into the ear of the deputy commander: "Your eyes tell me that you are waiting for the opportunity to take revenge. I am going to Yongzhou in the southwest, which is your territory. If you are in front of General Luo  Say something, there's no guarantee he won't do it for youThey vent their anger and make things difficult for me.  This is not something worth worrying about. What is worth worrying about is that you have the intention of killing me in your eyes. I saw that right We are on my home court now How could I allow the threat to leave alive?  "

    "If you had attacked me before, I wouldn't have killed you. I just called Lu Ou a mad dog just for you to hear, and you actually tolerated it Although you are just a deputy of the Guards, but  I'm sure you're a bigger threat to me than Lu Ou."

    Fang Jie withdrew the fist that hit the soldier on the chest, and the soldier with eyes wide open slowly fell down.  Until his death, he never understood how this seemingly gentle boy could have such murderous intentions.

    "Now it's your turn."

    Fang Jie walked to Lu Ou and knelt down, looked at him and said in a low voice: "Since we have already taken action, we cannot leave any harm behind. Relatively speaking, killing you will cause less trouble than leaving you behind. Stay.  I will take revenge, right?"

    He raised his hand, ready to end Lu Ou's life.

    At this moment, a horizontal knife flew in through the window from the outside at an astonishing speed.  Fang Jie raised his hand and flicked Hengdao's blade to push it away.  The knife whirled and flew out, piercing into the pillar with a thud.

    The door was pushed open from the outside, and a middle-aged man walked in quickly: "Be merciful!"

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    Fang Jie had never seen the person who broke in, but he guessed who he was at the first sight.  The horizontal knife that flew in before was naturally thrown by this man. Although the speed was fast, Fang Jie could feel that there was no cultivation power on the knife, and he calculated it extremely well. When Fang Jie got in front of him, the knife was thrown.  There is not much strength left.  The most important thing is that the knife was thrown with the handle in front and the blade in the back.

    "Please show mercy."

    The middle-aged man explained to the other party, cupping his fists and saying, "I already know what happened. It was my lax control. Please spare his life, Mr. Xiaofang."

    Fang Jie stood up straight, cupped his fists and saluted in return: "General Ye?"

    The person who came was none other than Ye Jinnan, the fourth rank general of the left avant-garde. He was not tall and thin. He was wearing ordinary household clothes instead of military uniforms.

    "yes"

    Ye Jinnan nodded and said: "Master Xiaofang, I originally wanted to come to apologize today. Lu Ou was offended by his words in your house before, and I severely reprimanded him after he returned. But this man has a rough character, and I didn't expect it.  How dare you cause trouble in Hongxiuzhao. But in the final analysis, it¡¯s my fault for disciplining you, the general. Please forgive me, Mr. Xiao Fang.¡±

    He turned around and bowed to Xiao Dingdian: "I also ask this girl to understand My people have told me the whole story truthfully. It's all Lu Ou's fault. Please give me a favor. I'll take this person back.  The military law of Zuo Qianwei is strict, and the general will never allow his subordinates to do evil. "

    Fang Jie looked at Lu Ou, who was as limp as mud at his feet, and secretly said it was a pity.

    He hugged Ye Jinnan and said, "Since General Ye has spoken, how can I disobey him?"

    "Thank you!"

    Ye Jinnan saluted again, then straightened up and turned around and ordered coldly: "Carry Lu Ou back, and the body as wellLi Duofu, you were the one who followed General Lu just now, watching him make mistakes but not stopping him,  After returning to the inn, I will collect twenty military sticks."

    "Here!"

    The soldier who ran out to report the news straightened up and responded. He and several other soldiers went over to pick up Lu Ou and the dead soldier and carried them out.

    "If Master Xiaofang doesn't mind, can you lend me a step to speak?"

    Ye Jinnan looked at Fang Jie and asked.

    "please"

    Fang Jie made an invitation gesture and then walked up to the second floor first.  Ye Jinnan nodded and walked up slowly behind him.  A servant with red sleeves asked Xiao Dingdian in a low voice if he wanted to report to the official. Xiao Dingdian was silent for a while and shook his head: "Tea."

    In the private room, Fang Jie asked Ye Jinnan to sit down first, and then sat down opposite him.  Ye Jinnan sat down and was silent for a moment before sighing and saying: "Master Xiaofang taught Lu Ou a lesson today, and I don't hold any grudge in my heart. Please believe this, Master Xiaofang, and don't worry that you will be made things difficult for you if you go to the southwest.  In front of the general, I will naturally tell the whole story clearly."

    Fang Jie was slightly startled, not sure whether this person's attitude was sincere or fake.

    Ye Jinnan said: "Although I have been serving under General Yongzhou, I have heard about you for a long time. Even my general has mentioned more than once that Lord Xiaofang is a rare talent of the younger generation. This  The first time I came to the capital, the general specifically told me to pay a visit to Mr. Xiaofang who was admitted to the Yanwu Academy.At that time, he got excellent results in nine subjects, and the news spread all over the country.  Even the old, weak, women and children in the southwest know your name, Master Xiaofang.  "

    "Thank you for your compliments, General Ye."

    Fang Jie responded and waited for Ye Jinnan to continue speaking.  He knew that Ye Jinnan's statement was definitely not because he was outstanding in the Nine Schools of the Yanwu Academy. He had always been interested in the left avant-garde general Luo Yao, which involved his life experience. Fang Jie had always wanted to find out where he came from.  , the information now found seems to have pointed to Luo Yao.

    In his opinion, Ye Jinnan's words about Luo Yao asking him to visit him were just polite words and not worth paying attention to.  Based on the information I learned about Luo Yao during this period, I found that Luo Yao was a person with a somewhat twisted personality.  He is selfish and would even kill his son for his own future.  Of course, this incident was celebrated by many as an example of loyalty.  He was so cruel that the barbarians in the southwest trembled all over when they heard the word Luo Yao, and they called him Luo the Butcher.  He was domineering, and local officials in the four southwest districts dared not speak out against Zuo Qianwei, and they dared not go against Luo Yao's words.

    ¡°Such a local emperor-like figure, unless he really has something to do with me, how could he let his subordinates pay a special visit to him?

    "Master Xiaofang, you can rest assured when you go to Yongzhou. No one in the Zuoqianwei will do anything against you because of today's incident. The Zuoqianwei is the most loyal army to His Majesty, and the general is the most loyal to Your Majesty.  Your Majesty, you are going to Yongzhou as an imperial envoy, and I can guarantee that your trip will be smooth and smooth."

    Fang Jie smiled: "Everyone knows that the general is a model of loyalty. I have never doubted this. I am also a rough person, so there is no hatred between me and General Lu. But General Ye should understand.  The last thing a soldier can tolerate is his own dignity. If he can't even protect his friends, how can he have the dignity to be a man? Of course, I won't allow others to violate the laws of the Sui Dynasty. I will report it to the court myself.  I have no complaints no matter how the court handles it.¡±

    "No need!"

    Ye Jinnan said: "I promise you, this matter will never be mentioned to the court. Mr. Xiaofang doesn't have to take the initiative to say it. How about we just pretend it never happened?"

    Fang Jie's heart moved and he didn't understand why Ye Jinnan was so compromising.  What was he thinking?
