Chapter 338 Ambition
When Fang Jie came back from Hexing Tower, there were no other pedestrians on the street. The moon hung very high but was extremely bright. The moonlight shone down, making the night seem less dark than that which makes people afraid. A person walked alone on the quiet street, stepping on the long shadow that was dragged out by the moonlight.
Hexing Building is not far from his residence, only a five-minute walk. And now there are at least 4,000 elite left-wingers in Anlai County. There is no need for Fang Jie to bring his entourage unless it is Luo Yao who wants to kill him.
The meaning of what Luo Qiu said at today's dinner was already obvious. He was lobbying for Luo Yao. The reason why the late emperor sent Luo Qiulai to calm down the trade was because this man was steady enough in his work and knew his priorities clearly. But now Fang Jie has reason to believe that Luo Qiuwei may not side with the court once Luo Yao rebels.
More than ten years is enough to change a person.
As Fang Jie walked back, he was thinking about what Luo Qiu said today. The words that were running over and over in his mind made it difficult for him to calm down.
If you get the guidance of the general, you will definitely make rapid progress in your practice.
Luo Qiu's words were replayed in Fang Jie's mind, which made Fang Jie a little distressed. He originally thought that he was a person who could resist some temptations, but now he discovered that a person's greed is sometimes beyond control. In such an era, being a high official is not as good as being a peerless master.
Just when Fang Jie was about to reach the door of his residence, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.
Fang Jie stopped and turned around, and saw the man exuding cold and arrogant aura under the moonlight.
"General, why don't you rest yet?"
Fang Jie asked, cupping his fists.
Luo Yao looked at Fang Jie from a distance, and the moonlight seemed to become his sight, making Fang Jie feel as uncomfortable as if he had no clothes on.
¡°After I went back and thought about it, I suddenly felt that it would be better to talk openly and honestly about some things.¡±
Luo Yao said in a calm tone: "I am a soldier and I don't like that kind of tactful way."
¡°Then shall I accompany the general for a walk?¡±
Fang Jie said with a smile.
Luo Yao nodded: "Okay"
After saying this, he continued to walk forward. Fang Jie waited until he came over and followed him two steps behind. The two people were walking with their hands behind their backs, and looking at their backs, they looked somewhat similar. This small city is full of left-wing soldiers, and from time to time you can encounter soldiers on duty patrolling the streets. Whenever Fang Jie met a patrol, he could hear the respect from the bottom of his heart when he heard the soldiers shout "General."
¡°When you come to Yongzhou, it¡¯s the first time we meet.¡±
Fang Jie didn¡¯t quite believe Luo Yao¡¯s first sentence, because Luo Yao had been acting abnormally since seeing him. Fang Jie didn't know Luo Yao, so he didn't know what a normal left-wing general looked like, but Fang Jie could feel that Luo Yao's speech and behavior were far different from the legendary cold, arrogant and ruthless man.
"yes"
Fang Jie nodded.
"But I admire you very much."
Luo Yao continued: "I became interested in you when the news about the entrance examination of the Yanwu Academy reached Yongzhou You fought against that boy from the Xie family and defeated him."
"Thank you Fuyao for holding back and not trying your best."
Fang Jie answered truthfully.
"You don't know how to practice, and you are born with a useless constitution But that boy from the Xie family is a famous talent in the south of the Yangtze River. He has already started practicing practice at the age of ten. The old monster in Wudang Mountain regards him as a closed disciple, although it has always been Liu Huizheng who came down the mountain to teach his skills. , but isn¡¯t it that the old monster has decided to teach him something? So even if the boy from the Xie family keeps his hand, your performance is still impressive. "
"Thank you, General, for your compliment."
"This is the truth, not a compliment."
Luo Yao said calmly: "I will never falsely praise anyone, even if you are an imperial envoy."
He stopped, looked back at Fang Jie and asked, "Why do you keep two steps away from me? Do you think you can escape unharmed from this distance?"
Fang Jie was startled for a moment, then smiled: "It's just a habit."
Luo Yao snorted: "This is a good habit."
"Thanks"
"It won't do you any harm to answer my three questions first."
Luo Yao sat down on the steps of a wealthy family's house, pointed to his side and motioned for Fang Jie to sit down. Fang Jie did not refuse and sat calmly.
"What do you want to ask, General?"
"Firsthow does Your Majesty view this marriage?"What do you think? "
Fang Jie was silent for a long time and then replied seriously: "Your Majesty does not seem to want to marry the eldest princess to the young general. The first reason is because the southwest is too far away from Chang'an City, and the eldest princess is your majesty's most beloved daughter. Second. The second reason isbecause His Majesty knows more or less about the Major General's daily affairs, so he is not very reassured."
"What about the third one?"
Luo Yao asked.
"There is no third place."
Fang Jie shook his head.
Luo Yao smiled: "Yes, but you don't dare to say it. The most important reason why His Majesty asked you to come is because he wants to use troops against the northwest. Things in the Northwest cannot be hidden from anyone Your Majesty doesn't trust me. He is afraid that I will take advantage of it." You are also causing trouble when there is chaos in the northwest. Your Majesty is just sending you to check on me because of the eldest princess¡¯s wedding.¡±
Fang Jie smiled bitterly and did not answer.
"second question¡¡"
Luo Yao seemed to not want to continue to struggle with this issue. He already knew what he wanted to know.
"Is Xiao Yijiu dead?"
Fang Jie didn't expect Luo Yao to ask this, so he was stunned for a moment: "He was not dead when I left the capital, but he shouldn't live long because of his serious crimes. Your Majesty should be waiting for the day when the Ministry of Punishment concludes the case, and bring him and Prince Yi together. Disposal.¡±
What Fang Jie didn¡¯t know was why Xiao Yijiu was not executed immediately. It was because the emperor wanted to test Wan Xingchen's reaction, and was also worried that if Xiao Yi was touched, Wan Xingchen would do something. After all, that person was too strong.
Luo Yao shook his head: "If you want to kill someone like Xiao Yijiu, it's better to kill him earlier. Your Majesty's matter I'm afraid there is a deeper meaning."
Fang Jie didn¡¯t know, and Luo Yao was just curious, so the topic ended abruptly.
"The third questionif I sincerely invite you, are you willing to stay in the left avant-garde to work? If I make a memorial, Your Majesty will not refuse my request. Please think carefully before answering this question, because it is important for you This is a rare opportunity.¡±
Luo Yao said calmly: "I am not arrogant, but you should understand that I am the only one who can guide you in your practice now."
This is really an irresistible temptation for Fang Jie.
¡¡
¡¡
"cannot"
Fang Jie took out his pipe from the deerskin bag, lit it, and took a deep breath: "The general may think that I don't know how to appreciate him. In fact, I also think that I am an idiot for refusing like this. No one cares about my body better than me." I know better, so I know what you said is an indisputable fact. By staying at the left midfielder, I may be able to break the shackles that I have been unable to break but even so, I still can't stay."
Luo Yao tilted his head and glanced at him: "Reason?"
Fang Jie exhaled a thick puff of smoke. Under the moonlight, he looked like a monster swallowing the essence of the sun and moon.
"I want to join the army, I want to pick up the horizontal sword again, jump on horseback and kill the enemy on the battlefield If I stay in Yongzhou General, please forgive me, then the enemy I have to face is definitely not the enemy I want to face. . I lived in Fangu for three years, and those three years were the most stable and stable years in my life. Just to remember this stability, I remembered every name and face in Fangu. There are almost three thousand soldiers and civilians in total, and I won¡¯t mistake anyone.¡±
"But they died."
Fang Jie rubbed his sore nose: "If their death has anything to do with me I have to go back to Fangu to atone for my sins. If their death has nothing to do with me, I have to go back to Fangu to take revenge."
Luo Yao said calmly: "You don't seem to be an impulsive person."
Fang Jie said with a smile: "Sometimes you are not human when you are impulsive."
Luo Yao was actually amused by his boring words and smiled: "You should know a lot about me, because I know you won't let yourself come to Yongzhou knowing nothing. I was shattered back then. I was lucky enough to survive when I was in the sea of ??qi, but I would rather die than die. I remember that when I was giving up on myself, someone said this to me If I didn't hear this sentence at the beginning, only if I persisted. Well, maybe I¡¯m either a withered skeleton or a useless person now.¡±
"You also have obsessions in your heart."
Luo Yao said: "That's good. You and I have very similar temperaments Soldiers naturally have the unique temperament of soldiers. If I hurt my friends at that time, it doesn't mean that I will pretend to forget them in the future. When I have the ability, those hurts will Do my friends still want to live freely?¡±
Fang Jie's heart trembled when he heard these words. He thought of the folks in Fan Gu. Every face appeared in his mind more than once, and it was never blurry.??
"It is very difficult and very proud for a man to aspire to revenge. I will not stop you."
Luo Yao took the pipe from Fang Jie's hand and took a deep breath: "Such good cut tobaccocomes from Nanyan?"
"It'sthe goods were trafficked from Nanyan to Chang'an City."
Fang Jie answered.
Luo Yao snorted: "But haven't you ever thought that there is no conflict between your staying at the left midfield and your revenge?"
"ah?"
Fang Jie was surprised for a moment, as if he couldn't believe what he heard.
"I know what you are thinking."
Luo Yao slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, looking more like a monster than Fang Jie: "Not just you, I'm afraid many people, including His Majesty, think that I will be disloyal and will eventually do something that is sorry for Your Majesty and the Sui Dynasty. It seems reasonable to think this way. I have a lot of troops in my hands and the emperor is far away. This place is my territory. But when I first guarded Yongzhou twenty years ago, someone in the court swore that I would definitely rebel. Why am I not rebelling now that twenty years have passed?¡±
He asked Fang Jie, but Fang Jie didn¡¯t know how to answer. Fang Jie didn't expect Luo Yao to tell the matter so straightforwardly, without any hesitation.
"Because I never thought about going against it."
Luo Yao took a deep breath and then slowly spit it out, seemingly venting his dissatisfaction.
"I and everyone in the left wing have never had any thoughts of rebellion. You may not believe it, but I don't need to explain too much to you. It will be clearly written in the history books in the future, and I will leave it to future generations to comment I The reason why I'm pretending not to know about the defeat in the northwest is because your majesty doesn't want me to know, and I'm waiting for your majesty's call. If your majesty tells Luo Yao that you want to lead troops to fight the rebellion in the northwest I will immediately put on my armor and mount my horse!"
Luo Yao raised his head and looked at the bright moon in the sky: "There are more than 400,000 troops in Yongzhou, which is double the number reported to the court. This is one of the reasons why those idiot courtiers doubt me, and it is also one of the reasons why your Majesty doubts me. . But I can tell you that when Your Majesty needs me, many of these 400,000 people will appear in front of Your Majesty and rush forward without hesitation."
"So, even if you stay on the left front, you can go to the northwest to kill the Mongolian rebels."
Fang Jie was silent for a long time, then shook his head and said seriously: "General, you believe in yourself, but others don't believe in you. Therefore, Your Majesty will not easily mobilize the troops on the left avant-garde. I am a person who pursues a comfortable life. And to make myself comfortable is to The first thing to do is don¡¯t force yourself against your will.¡±
"Thank you, General, for your kindness, but I can't stay."
His words were soft but firm.
"That's such a pity"
Luo Yao sighed and stood up: "I'm very happy that you didn't tell a lie today."
"The general didn't tell a lie. Not only will I be happy, but His Majesty will also be happy."
Luo Yao smiled: "I won't force you, just think about it yourself."
He walked out slowly, and after walking four or five steps, he suddenly stopped again.
"I knew you were an ambitious young man, but I didn't expect your ambition to be so big The left midfielder with an army of 400,000 people can't even fit in." - Didn't finish reading?
