    Chapter 402: Those monsters and monsters

    When Shen Qingshan expressed his worries, Fang Jie's reaction was not at all beyond his expectations.  Fang Jie didn't believe that Big Dog would do anything sorry for him, although he knew very well that this kind of blind trust was definitely not a good thing for him.

    But sometimes people are so stubborn, so stubborn that they insist on doing something even though they know it is wrong.

    In his past life and in this life, Fang Jie has heard too many arguments that those who achieve great things should doubt everything, and he has also heard too many arguments that heroes want to disown their relatives, but he always firmly believes that it is impossible for people to be true to each other.  Only the relationship of interest is the strongest.  This is why he intervened in Wu Yiyi's affairs in the capital, and why he never forgot Fan Gu's three thousand lives from beginning to end.

    After hearing what Shen Qingshan said, Fang Jie just shook his head: "I can trust the big dog."

    Six words, yet so certain.

    Shen Qingshan smiled: "I knew you would say this, otherwise you wouldn't be Fang Jie."

    Fang Jie leaned over and smelled the fragrance of her hair: "Are you praising me?"

    Shen Qing blushed slightly and avoided Fang Jie's provocative eyes.  She straightened the hair hanging down in front of her forehead and changed the subject: "What are you planning? If Luo Yao is really the same person back then, how will you handle the relationship between him and you?"

    "have no idea"

    Fang Jie's answer revealed a sense of helplessness: "Even if I am sure that Luo Yao is the one who arranged everything back then, I don't know if I can just count him as an enemy. For you, I can think so, but for  But I find that I can't hold much hatred at all. If he threatened you just to save my life, should I kill him?"

    When saying these words, Shen Qingshan could feel the pain in Fang Jie's heart.

    It suddenly dawned on her that what relieved her pain was not her own life experience, but whether he could help her, Mu Xiaoyao and the others to express such a tone.  If that person had arranged all this to protect Fang Jie, then he was Fang Jie's benefactor.  Butno matter what the reason was, he was the enemy of himself and Mu Xiaoyao.

    If it weren¡¯t for that person, I would still be practicing on Mo Mountain.

    Without that person, those thirty or so people would all have their own stable lives.

    In the past ten years, most people have died.

    Shen Qingshan knew how Fang Jie felt about him and Mu Xiaoyao and the others, and it was precisely because these feelings were so deep that Fang Jie was in pain.

    "Maybe I should thank that person. If he hadn't arranged this path for me to encounter too many hardships, maybe my progress in spiritual practice would not have been so fast."

    Shen Qingshan smiled and said this very gently.

    Fang Jie looked at her and shook his head: "Although you are cute when you tell lies, you are too forced What I am eager to know is not my own life experience. I have not known my origin for seventeen years, but it does not affect my ability to accept the truth.  Come down and continue living, even if you don¡¯t know it for the rest of your life, it doesn¡¯t matter.¡±

    "But you are different."

    Fang Jie said calmly: "For you, I have to figure out what this person's purpose is. If it is just for his selfish desires, then it will be easy to handle. There is no need to be polite when you can kill him. If it is  For methen"

    Fang Jie did not continue, but Shen Qingshan understood what he meant.

    If that person arranged all this for his own selfish interests, then he is the common enemy of Fang Jie and himself.  If that person is for Fang Jie, then Fang Jie can't take revenge. He can only carry this hatred on his own and pay off the debt for that person.

    Feeling this heaviness, Shen Qingshan's heart also became heavy.

    "It's not necessary to kill him. Maybe the truth is more important than revenge."

    She stretched out her hand and gently stroked Fang Jie's cheek: "You can shoulder everything for us, why can't we give up everything for you? In fact, this is not a very difficult choice. Only fools would do it because  Let¡¯s give up the future. No matter how painful the past is, it can¡¯t deny that the future will be full of happiness, right?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s a really good thing to say.¡±

    Fang Jie pulled Shen Qingshan over, hugged her and sat on his lap: "Sometimes I can't help but wonder, why can't I pursue that peaceful and peaceful life. Find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters with you.  Live in seclusion, grow your own vegetables and raise some chickens and ducks. What you consider every day is whether you should fertilize the crops in the fields and whether you should feed the livestock After the hen lays an egg, whether should you eat an omelette or not?  Worry about things like feeding Miss Xiaoyao, not some bullshit national affairs.¡±

      "Watching the sun rise and set every day, I will have a few children with you and teach them to read and write. Although my handwriting is ugly, it is enough for the children to grow up and become sensible and reasonable people."

    He smiled mockingly: "Isn't it because of greed?"

    Shen Qingshan pressed his cheek against Fang Jie's: "I remember you said that greed is the eternal driving force for human beings to strive for progress."

    "I'm too selfish."

    Fang Jie kissed Shen Qingshan on the forehead: "I know that women and men have completely different pursuits. Perhaps what women want is just to live a stable life with the person they love. They don't need to be rich or wealthy.  We need gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin, and growing old together has nothing to do with power and status.¡±

    "But men are always very selfish and want to give their women a better life, even if it is just that there is more meat in the bowl of the wife next door than the bowl of the woman next door when eating every day. His wife does not need to be beautiful or slim.  , but it cannot be cheaper than the shabby clothes of the woman next door. A man without a woman has no reason to be a man, and a man with a woman of his own has no reason to be inactive. "

    He was silent for a while, then took a deep breath.

    "Give me a few years until I can give you a truly stable life."

    Shen Qing gave him a kiss on the cheek, and then said with a bright smile: "Don't you know that women are always proud of their men? Don't you know that women are always proud of themselves because they have more food in the bowl than the woman next door?  Are you so happy that you shed tears after eating a piece of meat? Don¡¯t you know that a woman will not regret it even if she becomes the fat person she once hated because of a man¡¯s pampering?¡±

    "When you are tired"

    She leaned into his arms and murmured: "Let's find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, raise some chickens and ducks, and plant some crops. Every day, Xiaoyao and I, and perhaps other women, are jealous over the egg you fried. Every day  Fighting over who should make your bedbut you know, why does a loser have all this?"

    Fang Jie clearly knew that Shen Qingshan was comforting him, but he couldn't deny those words.

    Yongzhou is very large. Although it is not comparable to Chang'an City, it was the imperial capital of a country more than 20 years ago, so its scale is naturally not small.  The height of Yongzhou City Wall was second only to Chang'an City in the Sui Dynasty, and much higher than Jiangdu, the original imperial capital of Nanchen.  The team stopped outside the gate of Yongzhou City, because there were many officials waiting to welcome the imperial envoy at the gate.

    Fang Jie walked forward and looked at this majestic city. He couldn't help feeling that this place had been transformed by Luo Yao into a huge fortress armed to the teeth.

    There is a crossbow every twenty steps on the city wall. Looking at the sunlight reflected from the crossbow, you can guess that these crossbows are well maintained and can be used at any time.  In contrast, Fang Jie suspected that some of the bed crossbows on Chang'an City were outdated Precisely because Chang'an was too big and strong, people had been convinced that Chang'an City would not be breached by any country's army for more than a hundred years.  , so it is inevitable to feel lazy.

    The water in the moat is not turbid at all, which shows that someone dredges the river regularly.

    The rivets on the suspension bridge look new, indicating that they have been reinforced from time to time.

    There is not much dust on the defenders at the city gate, indicating that the frequency of defense changes will not exceed one hour.

    The position where the soldiers often stand is obviously more concave than other places, indicating that no one has slacked off over the years.

    Fang Jie pays close attention to these things that are easily overlooked.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT Out of the trivial things, you can infer a person's character, and what you can think of from such a solid defense in Yongzhou City makes him feel a little ridiculous.  According to reasoning, what does it mean for a person to have ten locks on his door?  It means that his heart is full of fear and uneasiness, and he is afraid of the disaster that may come at any time.  It means that he doesn't want to trust anyone, and those locks are just a kind of sustenance for him.

    And Luo Yao built Yongzhou City into a huge fortress. Is this any different from hanging ten locks on the door?

    ?In a sense, no!

    A powerful general with an army of 400,000 can influence half of the country with just a single move, and his words and deeds can shock the entire court How could such a person be a coward?

    Fang Jie was thinking about these things in his mind, but he was smiling and chatting with the Yongzhou officials.  Fang Jie is now familiar with handling such a scene and won't show any timidity.  When chatting with these people, Fang Jie found that their eyes always looked at Luo Yao inadvertently, which showed that these people were full of fear and awe of Luo Yao from the bottom of their hearts.  This shows that Luo Yao killed people.?Not only did they kill common people and barbarians, they also killed officials.

    ¡°If this were not the case, it would be impossible for those officials to have so much real fear in their eyes.

    Fang Jie¡¯s eyes kept capturing as many details as possible and tried their best to use their eyes.  Because he was sure that in Yongzhou, it was impossible to learn too many useful things through ears.  Yongzhou is like a huge private house belonging to Luo Yao. It is impossible for the people in this house to say anything that is not beneficial to Luo Yao.

    The edict has not been read yet because the place is not right.

    When local officials receive an imperial edict, they must wear official uniforms, set up tables and burn incense in the yamen. If the edict involves his family, the person delivering the edict must inform him in advance, and the official's family members, wives and children must also put on the most solemn clothes and officials.  Kneel down together and listen to the order.

    Luo Yao rarely goes to his Southwest Garrison Mansion, and all military affairs are handled in his General Mansion.

    But today, he must receive the order at the Southwest Guards Mansion.

    After putting on the unicorn uniform of the Duke of Guo, Luo Yao's aura looked even more terrifying.  Behind him, his wife, Mrs. Chu, was wearing the imperial attire of Madam Yipingaoming. Her snow-white face was made even more gloomy by the solemn attire.  Fang Jie was shocked when he saw this woman. The biggest feature of this woman was that she looked lifeless, like a ghost wearing human skin walking under the blue sky and white sun.

    Behind him is Fang Jie¡¯s acquaintance, his young master Luo Wen who almost killed him in the martial arts arena.

    In fact, Luo Wen still looked at Fang Jie with murderous intent in his eyes today.

    Looking at the large family kneeling in front of him, Fang Jie couldn't help but have a strange thought in his heart.  If he didn't have this will in his hands, then the kneeling family would look like demons and monsters asking for atonement So Fang Jie smiled, feeling a little proud.
