    Chapter 355 Attitude!

    Fang Jie thought twice about going directly to Luo Yao for a showdown, both on the same day.  After returning from Cangman Mountain, he confirmed that Luo Yao was the one who arranged everything back then. He and Mu Xiaoyao Shen Qingshan said they should go directly to Luo Yao to ask for details.  Before this matter was discussed, Cui Zhongzhen came.  Fang Jie didn't sleep well all night.  The news brought by Cui Zhongzhen had relatively less impact. What really made him toss and turn was the relationship between himself and Luo Yao.

    When he arranged for Cui Zhongzhen to rush back to the northwest at night, he moved in and the two of them drank until the early hours of the morning.  Fang Jie inquired about the war situation in the northwest in detail, and the scene coming out of Cui Zhongzhen's mouth was the most intuitive and shocking.  Cui Zhongzhen watched the defeat happen, but his plain and simple narration was even more touching.

    Fang Jie could imagine the scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere, and he could also imagine the determination and despair of the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty at the last moment.

    Because of Li Yuanshan's rebellion, hundreds of thousands of elites died in the northwest.  On the grassland two thousand miles away, corpses with only withered bones can still be seen. Although the pagoda piled up with human heads has collapsed, the pagoda seems to have been weighing on the hearts of everyone who survived.

    Including Cui Zhongzhen.

    In the end, this man drank too much and burst into tears, but Fang Jie didn¡¯t even know where to start with words of comfort.

    The enemy's war horse trampled over the corpse of his comrade, and what was stirred up by the horse's hooves was not dust and smoke but meat and mud.  How many ambitious men of the Sui Dynasty died like this. At the moment they fell, they might still be looking back to the east, hoping to see their homeland.  There are their parents and their fellow villagers there.

    After settling down the drunk Cui Zhongzhen, he returned to his room to relieve his difficulty in falling asleep.  It was almost dawn and I managed to sleep for a while, but when I fell asleep, I started dreaming.  A while later, he dreamed that Luo Yao handed his infant self to Mu Xiaoyao, and his hands were still stained with the blood of Shen Qingshan's fellow disciple.  After a while, I dreamed that Li Yuanshan was standing in front of the Meng Yuan cavalry, smiling ferociously, but the corpses lying on the ground were all Fan Gu's comrades and common people.

    Even though he didn¡¯t sleep well, Fang Jie still got up on time to practice.  In recent days, he has become more and more proficient in controlling the vitality of heaven and earth. Although the vitality he can control is still very weak, it is undeniable that he has made a qualitative leap.

    He was sweating all over, and when he was about to go back to his room to wash up, Chen Xiaoru walked over quickly to find him.

    "Sir, Luo Yao sent someone, it's Ye Jinnan."

    "What's up?"

    "Ye Jinnan refused to say anything. He brought a team of elite soldiers with him. He only said that he wanted to see you for something important."

    Fang Jie hummed and said, "Ask him to wait for me in the living room."

    Fang Jie went back and changed his clothes. When he arrived in the living room, he found that Ye Jinnan was wearing armor.  Outside the door, dozens of soldiers stood on both sides of the corridor with their swords drawn.  This posture was a bit unusual, and Fang Jie immediately thought of Cui Zhongzhen.

    "I have met Lord Xiaofang."

    Seeing Fang Jie arriving, Ye Jinnan quickly clasped his fists and saluted.

    "General Ye came to my place so early, but what's the important matter?"

    "By the order of the general, I would like to invite several colleagues from the northwest to come to the general's mansion to discuss matters."

    Although Fang Jie had a vague premonition, he still couldn't help being surprised.  Cui Zhongzhen and the others only arrived yesterday, and they did not go to see Luo Yao or even reveal their identities.  But early the next morning, Luo Yao actually sent someone to invite him.  It has to be said that Luo Yao's control over Yongzhou has reached a terrifying level.

    "The general knew it very quickly."

    Fang Jie knew he couldn¡¯t hide it, so he simply admitted it directly.

    Ye Jinnan said: "When they entered the city, the officers and soldiers guarding the gate could tell that they were not ordinary people. Soldiers always have a unique temperament. Especially those who have just come off the battlefield, even those who are walking  They will always be on guard and carry murderous intent. Their customs clearance certificates were issued by Huang Yangdao. Although they were issued by the government, the steel seals on them could not be hidden when the weapons they carried were inspected. "

    "There are those who lead the military guards from the left, and those who guard the left Xiaowei"

    Fang Jie then realized that Cui Zhongzhen and the others were all qualified soldiers, but their prudent behavior was far inferior to that of the spies from the Ouchi Guards.  If someone from the Ouchi Guards Department were to do this, it would be absolutely impossible to find any clues.  They even forgot to cover up the steel seals on the weapons. It can only be said that Cui Zhongzhen and the others came here in a hurry.

    "He is still sleeping, please wait a moment, General Ye."

    Fang Jie asked Ye Jinnan to sit down and poured the tea himself: "Since the general already knows, can I take the liberty to ask, what does the general think of the war in the northwest?"

    It has arrived now, there is no need to hide it anymore.

    Ye Jinnan did not expect that Fang Jie wouldAfter asking such a straightforward question, he was silent for a while and then said seriously: "We are the knife in the hand of the general, and the general is the knife in the hand of His Majesty. As long as the imperial decree comes down, the general will definitely lead his army northward."  As a soldier, it is your duty to fight for the country.¡±

    "I had a long chat with the people from the northwest last night"

    Fang Jie sighed and said, "I'll go with you in a moment, because the person coming is an old friend I knew before entering the martial arts academy, so he came to see me first when he knew I was in the city. I'm going to meet the general."  Accuse yourself."

    "That's fine."

    Ye Jinnan nodded, took a sip of tea and suddenly said: "After arriving at the General's Mansion, if there is anything that dissatisfies Mr. Xiao Fang, please exercise some restraint. There are other guests in the General's Mansion today.  It might be a little unpleasant if I meet Mr. Xiao Fang. Please take care of me, Mr. Xiao Fang, and try not to get angry."

    "who?"

    Fang explained the question.

    Ye Jinnan hesitated for a moment and then shook his head: "Master Xiao Fang will naturally know when we get to the general's residence."

    After hearing these words, Fang Jie smiled and said: "Everyone who comes to the general's residence is a guest. How can I be so presumptuous as a guest? Don't worry, General Ye. I won't talk or act carelessly in Yongzhou City because of my status as an imperial envoy."  of."

    He stood up, walked to the door, and ordered someone to invite Cui Zhongzhen.  Then he whispered to the black boy Yan Kuang: "I will go out in a while and put on the flying fish robe to cheer them up, and then tell Miss Mu to bring my Chaolu knife!"

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    When Fang Jie and others arrived at the General's Mansion, they saw from a distance a few people standing outside the three-story stilt building opposite the small lake. Judging from the attire, they seemed to be soldiers of the Sui Dynasty. They were pacing back and forth, obviously waiting.  Somewhat impatient.  Fang Jie didn't see anything, but Cui Zhongzhen immediately became red-eyed.

    "Rebels!"

    His footsteps suddenly stopped and he pointed towards the opposite side of the small lake: "General Ye, what's going on! I didn't expect to see rebels appearing in the palace of General Zuoqianwei! Today, either you kill me to silence me, or you  You have to give me an explanation! We worked hard to kill thieves in the northwest, but when we arrived in Yongzhou, the thieves became the guests of General Luo! "

    Ye Jinnan¡¯s face was not good-looking either. He smiled coquettishly and explained: ¡°They didn¡¯t say who they were when they came. They only said that they were the general¡¯s old friends who asked to see them Well, I guess the general didn¡¯t know their details either.¡±

    Fang Jie also stopped and looked at the people opposite him with a cold smile: "General Ye told me not to mess around when I arrived at the General's Mansion. Is that why?"

    Ye Jinnan became more and more embarrassed and didn't know how to explain it.

    "Since the rebels are the general's guests, there is no need for us to stay."

    Cui Zhongzhen clasped his fists at Ye Jinnan: "I'll say goodbye now. Please tell the general that we are waiting for him on the northwest battlefield!"

    This was a pun, and Ye Jinnan's face turned even redder.  He was not familiar with Cui Zhongzhen, so he had to ask Fang Jie for help: "Master Xiao Fang, you also know that the general will never have any objections. When the general sees them, he must have the general's reason. Please advise this general Cui,  I won¡¯t tell you until I meet the general later.¡±

    Fang Jie sneered: "In what capacity should I persuade him? A friend of the general, an imperial envoy sent by His Majesty to Yongzhou, or a citizen of the Sui Dynasty?"

    Cui Zhongzhen said coldly: "Let's go."

    Fang Jie waved his hand: "Let's go? Let the rebels crowd us away. I can't afford to lose this person. This is still a matter on the ground in Sui Dynasty. If word spreads that I meet the rebels, I'm afraid to hide away."  Being scolded bent my spine!"

    After saying this, he strode towards Luo Yao's three-story stilt building.  Ye Jinnan wanted to stop him but couldn't do it, so he had to follow behind and try to persuade him.

    "Master Xiaofang, you should trust the general!"

    Fang Jie was speechless and walked faster and faster.

    Cui Zhongzhen followed him, holding the handle of the horizontal knife at his waist tightly.  Dozens of guards from the Ouchi Guard Department wearing brocade robes and flying fish robes followed, their bright red cloaks fluttering in the wind.  Shen Qingshan walked with his hands behind his back, while Mu Xiaoyao held the Chaolu knife in his arms.

    "Who is it, stop!"

    When we arrived in front of the stilt building, several soldiers immediately came out to stop us.  Fang Jie glanced at them: "If you dare to kill me, I will draw the knife. If you don't dare to kill, then get away."

    These words made the guards startled, and they subconsciously looked at Ye Jinnan.  Ye Jinnan shook his head, and the soldiers immediately backed away.

    When Fang Jie passed by the rebels, he glanced at them coldly and found that they were still wearing Sui's standard leather armor, but the uniforms underneath were changed to khaki.  Sui armyThe uniforms are dark blue, no wonder Cui Zhongzhen can tell at a glance that they are rebels.

    Those rebel soldiers didn¡¯t recognize Fang Jie, so they were a little frightened by him and subconsciously took a few steps back.  Fang Jie quickly walked into the stilt building. The silver-armored warrior in the dark was stopped by Ye Jinnan from showing up.  Several people entered and saw a rebel general standing in the open door, whispering something with a smile on his face.

    Fang Jie walked in and glanced at Luo Yao who was sitting behind the desk.

    Luo Yao frowned slightly. What he disliked the most was someone entering his study privately.  But he did not have an attack. Instead, he stood up and said with a smile: "Master Xiao Fang came just in time. This is General Wu from the northwest."

    He then said to General Wu: "This is the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court to Yongzhou. Fang Jie."

    "How to solve it?"

    The rebel general surnamed Wu glanced at Fang Jie, his face became a little ugly, but he still clasped his fists and said, "I have long admired you, and my Governor Wu often mentions you."

    "Wu Peizhi?"

    Fang explained the question.

    The general surnamed Wu was a little displeased: "Isn't it a bit rude for Sir Xiao Fang to call my Governor-General by his first name?!"

    "There is something even more rude."

    Fang Jie smiled, then suddenly rushed forward and punched General Wu in the face.  This punch was so sudden and powerful that Ye Jinnan, who was standing beside him, was a beat too slow when he wanted to stop it.  The general named Wu was the nephew of Wu Peizhi, the governor of Hebei Province, and he had no martial arts skills.  He didn't expect Fang Jie to take action when they met, and his nose was smashed by accident.  This punch was like knocking over a soy sauce bottle on his face, and blood gushing from his nose immediately stained his face.

    With a bang, the general named Wu fell to the ground.

    "Master Xiaofang, what is your attitude?"

    Luo Yao, who was standing behind the desk with his hands behind his back, asked coldly.

    "Here comes the knife!"

    As soon as Fang Jie stretched out his hand, Mu Xiaoyao immediately handed over the Chaolu knife.  He took a step forward and chopped off the head of the general surnamed Wu with a knife. He flipped his wrist and used the knife to penetrate the fallen head and slowly lift it up.

    He looked at Luo Yao and said word for word: "This is the attitude!"
