Chapter 430 Is this reason enough?
The window was propped open, and the rainwater flowed down the window to form a small waterfall. Fang Jie sat on a chair and looked at the gray sky outside, puffing out smoke like a monster sucking the essence of heaven and earth. His eyes were squinted, as if he was trying to see through the rain.
There were dozens of warriors wearing iron armor standing outside the wooden house, and the raindrops made a ticking sound on the armor and their swords. These soldiers stood outside like nails, letting the rain wash away their armor. But no matter how heavy the rain was, it couldn't wash away the smell of blood on their bodies.
Fang Jie didn't need to look carefully to see that each of these dozens of soldiers had at least ten lives in their hands.
Otherwise, there wouldn¡¯t be such momentum.
Although the wooden house is simple, it is not small. It has tables, chairs, beds and even bookshelves. There is just no book on the bookshelf, but there is a pot of wild flowers. The bright yellow flowers are blooming proudly. Although they are small and not fragrant, they are the most eye-catching color in the room.
In fact, this is not an ornamental flower at all, just a dandelion.
After the small yellow flowers wither, the fluffy balls will gradually emerge. Perhaps on a windy day, the seeds will drift out of the house and land in an unknown place. When spring gets warm next year, a few green seedlings will emerge from the soil tenaciously.
? Spring is born and autumn flies, and the cycle begins again and again. Just like human ambition, it dies one after another.
The door creaked and someone pushed it open from the outside. The wind blew the rainwater into the room, and the already chilly temperature in the room instantly dropped a lot.
The person who comes in closes the door, then takes off his raincoat and hangs it at the door.
Fang Jie raised his head and glanced at this person, his eyes not lingering too much. He seemed to have guessed that this person would come, so he was not surprised at all.
"There's something I don't understand, so I wanted to ask you."
The person who came in was Luo Xiaotu, known as the Little Butcher.
"I can't say what you asked."
"You know what I want to ask?"
"I don't know, but I have no intention of saying anything you ask."
Fang Jie¡¯s answer was very irritating, but Luo Xiaotu was not an emotional person to begin with. If he didn¡¯t have emotions, he wouldn¡¯t be angry. In his life, it seems that there is only a straight line, and there is never any roundabout way.
¡°I don¡¯t really like talking to people.¡±
Luo Xiaotu looked at Fang Jie and said seriously: "Because I know another way to get the news."
Fang Jie glanced at him and raised the corner of his mouth: "I would have said this a few years ago when I was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child. When I killed horse thieves in Fangu City, I would always catch a question first. I know where the horse thief is hiding. When the other party refuses to tell me, I will be just like you now. If I say such a pretentious word, the other party will usually be intimidated. "
Luo Xiaotu hummed and then stopped talking.
The two people just sat in silence, not even looking at each other.
¡°I¡¯ll have the food delivered in a moment.¡±
After a long time, Luo Xiaotu stood up and went to the door to put on his raincoat: "Many people have said that you are a rare smart person. I don't know where the difference between smart and stupid is, but since others have said so, it doesn't matter. It¡¯s wrong, so you should understand that I won¡¯t talk to you a second time.¡±
Fang Jie made an invitation gesture: "I want the wine to be hot, and if I don't want the food, let's have a big plate of dumplings."
Luo Xiaotu was startled for a moment, then stepped out.
Fang Jie looked at his back and couldn't help but shake his head and smile. He murmured, "The villain kills the villain. You are so tired, you might as well just be a villain."
The conversation between him and Luo Xiaotu was extremely simple, but he was not disappointed at all. He knew that Luo Xiaotu would definitely come, and he also knew what Luo Xiaotu was going to do. He also knew that Luo Xiaotu was waiting for him and begging him, but Fang Jie knew what he should do and would never follow what others had set. Come and go.
Half an hour later, we were pushed away again from the outside. The person who came in was still Luo Xiaotu, and Fang Jie was still not surprised. Luo Xiaotu was holding a large tray in his hand, which contained a pot of wine, a plate of cooked beef, and a large plate of dumplings, which were still steaming.
He put the umbrella aside, walked slowly to Fang Jie and put down the tray.
"what you want."
He said.
Fang Jie was not polite. He sat up straight, picked up a dumpling with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth. The rich meaty aroma immediately penetrated his mouth and even entered his mind. After taking a bite, the fragrant juice squirted out, and the dumplings were made so well that Fang Jie couldn't help but admire them.
Drink wine and eat dumplings.
Fang Jie didn¡¯t even raise his head.
"tasty?"
Luo Xiaotu looked at how delicious it was and couldn't help but ask.
Fang Jie pointed at the dumplings with his chopsticks: "You don't know how to taste it yourself?"
"I just think your food tastes delicious. I can't tell whether it tastes good or not. I haven't been able to distinguish the taste since I can remember, so eating has never been a pleasure for me. You can Enjoy the delicious food, just to fill my stomach.¡±
Luo Xiaotu replied calmly.
Fang Jie hummed and ignored Luo Xiaotu's words.
"You are sure that I will come again, and you are also sure that I will let you go?"
Luo Xiaotu asked.
When he asked this question, there was finally some emotion in his tone, which was complicated, unwilling, disappointing, and disgusting.
"You don't dare to kill me in the camp, and you feel that you would be sorry if you didn't kill me, so you will definitely let me go. Are there any other options?"
Fang Jie raised his head and glanced at him before asking, of course.
¡¡
¡¡
¡°It smells so good!¡±
Fang Jie ate all the dumplings on a large plate without even showing any pretense of politeness. The dumplings are indeed very fragrant, and Fang Jie doesn't seem to be worried about the poison in them. This was the most comfortable meal he had eaten in a while, and also the most filling meal he had eaten. Fang Jie has a habit of never feeling full when eating. The fuller people eat, the lazier they become, and the lazier they are, the more they relax their vigilance.
"You said there is no taste in your mouth?"
Fang explained the question.
Luo Xiaotu nodded.
Fang Jie sighed and said: "That's really a pity. There are not many things that men can enjoy in this world. Delicious food, fine wine, beauties You have lost one-third of the enjoyment and one-third of the fun. . But this also made me understand why everyone said Luo Xiaotu was an emotionless person. It turned out to be because you couldn't taste it. "
These two things may sound unrelated, but Fang¡¯s explanation is quite reasonable.
Luo Xiaotu actually didn¡¯t deny it.
¡°Not only do I have no sense of taste, I also have no sense of touch.¡±
Luo Xiaotu said in a calm tone: "When I eat, I can't distinguish the taste of food on the tip of my tongue. When I hold a woman, I can't feel the flesh on my fingers. So I think this world is boring and can interest me. Maybe there is only inner satisfaction. I am a boring person, so there is no need to retain any emotions."
He picked up the wine flask, poured himself a glass, and drank it: "They say wine is spicy, but I can't understand what spicy tastes like."
"Understood."
Fang Jie nodded: "So your only happiness is the satisfaction in your heart."
"It's a pity that I haven't found anything that truly satisfies me in the past twenty years."
Luo Xiaotu shook his head.
"Do you think you can hide it from Luo Yao?"
Fang explained the question.
Luo Xiaotu glanced at him, then cast his gaze out the window: "I'm not sure I only know that you are a very important person to the general, otherwise he wouldn't be really angry that you killed Wen Xiaodao. . I firmly believe that even if Luo Wen killed Wen Xiaodao, the general would not be so indifferent. And I happened to hear a rumor that someone said that Luo Wen was not the general's flesh and blood Knowing this, it is not possible to infer other things. Difficult."
"Wen Xiaodao is important, but it is far less important than my own son. You won't deny that I am right, because I really can't think of other possibilities. Only in this way can I explain why the general is so generous and even conniving towards you. You are the great general The general¡¯s son, the general doesn¡¯t deal with you because he wants you to inherit his things.¡±
"Am I wrong?"
he asks.
Fang Jie shook his head: "That's basically true."
"Um"
Luo Xiaotu hummed: "I can think of it too, and my guess is not wrong. Luo Wen killed Zhan Yao and tried to seize power and control Yongzhou. The general had a murderous look in his eyes when he returned this time, so Luo Wen was bound to die. . Since Rowan is going to die, you are the only heir to the general."
Fang Jie said with a smile: "This is the reason why you want to kill me who calls you Luo Yao's godson?"
"This is the reason why I don't worry about hiding it from the general This means you are the general's biological son."
Luo Xiaotu said in a calm tone: "What you just said is right, the only thing that can make me feel that I am still aThe only feeling left is satisfaction. I just didn't expect that you could read my thoughts so clearly even though you and I have no intersection, so I have no choice but to kill you. "
¡°You don¡¯t need to think about it seriously¡±
Fang Jie said: "The excitement in your eyes when Wen Xiaodao died could be felt by a blind man. You wanted to kill Wen Xiaodao, but you didn't dare because Wen Xiaodao was always with Luo Yao. Now that Wen Xiaodao is dead, You are satisfied, but you are also dissatisfied If I die, your godson will become Luo Yao's only heir, and I can't help but be tempted. "
"But you don't dare to kill me in the camp, because the ten heroes of Luo Men are never of the same mind. There are countless pairs of eyes watching from outside. As long as I die in the camp, you can't hide even if you want to. So you must Let me go, and then kill me while I'm on the run. This way, nothing will fall into the hands of others, and after I'm dead, even if Luo Yao is dissatisfied with you and angry, he won't be killed because of a dead person. You kill it too, right?"
"right"
Luo Xiaotu nodded: "Exactly every word."
"I was right, but you were a little wrong."
Fang Jie said with a smile.
"Where did I go wrong?"
Luo Xiaotu asked.
Fang Jie smiled and said, "You are wrong because you don't understand me and you don't understand Luo Yao."
Luo Xiaotu was silent, seeming to be hesitating.
¡°It¡¯s still worth trying.¡±
He said.
Fang Jie hummed: "It's 100% worth it. If you win the bet, then what you get is everything. If you lose the bet, you may die or you may not, and the probability of not dying is relatively high. For that, you have to gamble for everything." It¡¯s worth it.¡±
Luo Xiaotu stood up and looked outside: "If you can kill the twenty-four soldiers outside, I will let you go. I will not chase you within ten miles. You try to escape as fast as possible. I know There are many experts around you, but it will take at least one day to run from here to Mangdang Mountain."
"Stop it"
Fang Jie looked at Luo Xiaotu and asked, "The biggest problem with arrogant people is that they are self-righteous You think you can control everything, but you ignore the most important point."
"What is it?"
Luo Xiaotu asked.
Fang Jie pointed to his nose: "Why should I leave? Luo Yao didn't punish me even if I killed Wen Xiaodao. This shows that my position in Luo Yao's heart is very important. In this case, why should I leave? I'm leaving I have to face your pursuit. If I don't leave and stay comfortably for a month and wait for Luo Yao to come back, you won't have a chance. In fact, you don't have to wait a month. Ye Jinnan will be back early the day after tomorrow at the latest. Jin Nan is here, even if you try to kill me in the camp, you won't have a chance."
He smiled apologetically: "I didn't think of the right words, so I just managed to get by."
Luo Xiaotu's brows finally furrowed. He looked at Fang Jieji and said seriously: "You are right. I forgot such an important point and decided that you must run away just based on my feeling."
"You feel right."
Fang Jie drank the last sip of wine: "I really want to leave. Just as you said, starting from before dawn tomorrow and ending at dusk is the time you can kill me. Ten miles is what you said yourself. Of course you also It¡¯s okay to go back on your word.¡±
"I want to know the reason for your acceptance."
Luo Xiaotu asked.
"Because I want to destroy the self-confidence of each of your proud Roman heroes. Is this reason enough?"
