Some people say that the night sky in winter is more transparent than in summer, but they don¡¯t know what the basis is. Fang Jie stood in the yard and looked up at the sky, trying to distinguish each constellation. Only when you look at the stars at night can you find the familiarity of your previous life, so the attentive Mu Xiaoyao will feel a little sad every time he sees Fang Jie looking up at the night sky. Mu Xiaoyao stood beside Fang Jie more than once and raised his head to look in his direction, but could not see what he saw.
Perhaps it was the vague sadness that hurt Mu Xiaoyao's heart, so she planned to pull Fang Jie out of this state.
When a woman falls in love with a man, even the slight sentimentality in his eyes will make her feel sad with him, even if she doesn't understand what he is sentimental about.
"Changed your mind?"
she asked.
Fang Jie withdrew his gaze from the night sky and smiled at Mu Xiaoyao.
"Let's talk to Li Xiaolian in a moment. There must be a big secret hidden in this man's head. If we can learn about Li Yuanshan's arrangements from his mouth, it will be of great benefit to our operations. Although I can guess some, I can't Absolutely sure. If the emperor's thoughts are as I speculated before, we will find a way back through the cracks of thousands of troops, so we should try to be cautious. After all, you and three thousand are accompanying me on the adventure. cavalry."
Mu Xiaoyao hummed: "You are really relieved that you are bringing the real Li Xiaolian with you, so you are not afraid of anything going wrong."
Fang Jie said with a smile: "Nothing will happen. The rebel generals in charge of the city will kill all they can. I asked specifically before killing people last night. The most useless among the rebel generals is Han En, so I That¡¯s why I didn¡¯t kill him. I saw him today and I am even more convinced that this person is incompetent.¡±
When Fang Jie spoke, Mu Xiaoyao was fascinated by the faint confidence outlined in the corners of his mouth.
Women always admire more confident men.
"You should rest first, and I'll go see Li Xiaolian. I just found out today that we happened to capture a big shot. Li Xiaolian is well-known in Xiangcheng, and he is the leader among the rising stars of the Li family. The younger generation of the Li family that Li Yuanshan admires the most, One is him, and the other is Li Xiaoche, the eldest son of Li Yuanshan. It is said that Li Xiaoche is a military genius and has the courage to be invincible. Li Yuanshan once said that if the descendants of the Li family have Li Xiaoche and Li Xiaolian, they will have nothing to worry about. "
Mu Xiaoyao nodded: "Then you come back early. You might have to deal with the rebels tomorrow."
Fang Jie nodded and sent for Zhuo Buyi and Chen Xiaoru to follow.
When Fang Jie and the others were killing people in Sui County last night, he asked Big Dog to return to where the army was overnight, and asked Wanyan Zhongde to lead his men and horses southward, stopping not far from Sui County. Fang Jie and the others left the city before dawn after killing everyone. They hid in the middle of the road and captured the patrol guards sent by Li Xiaolian to Sui County in advance. After questioning them, they all were killed. In fact, the patrol guards who came to the city to see Han En were all disguised as Fei Yupao.
After forcing him to find out where Li Xiaolian was, Fang Jie immediately led his troops to surround Thirty Mile Fort. After capturing Li Xiaolian and all the patrol guards, Fang Jie put on Li Xiaolian's clothes and entered Suixian County with a flying fish robe disguised as patrol guards.
This is what happened.
The words he heard outside Li Liao¡¯s window last night made Fang Jie¡¯s heart light up. He immediately overturned his previous plan because he found a better opportunity.
Li Xiaolian was taken into Sui County with a rope tied around his body and a gag in his mouth. Fang Jie said that this person was captured on the way, maybe related to the assassin. Han En naturally had no doubts. The idiot was still immersed in the joy of being promoted.
Fang Jie opened the door and walked in, taking a look at Li Xiaolian who was sitting cross-legged on the ground.
"are you hungry?"
Fang Jie walked over slowly, reached out and removed the stuff from Li Xiaolian's mouth and asked.
Li Xiaolian looked up at him with a calm expression.
"Who are you"
he asks.
Fang Jie sat down on the chair opposite Li Xiaolian but did not answer. He was silent for a while and then said: "I have been very lucky these days. Many good things have come to me, and I can't even hide them. Although I have been I believe that any success should not be based on luck, but I have no objection to this kind of success. On the contrary, I really like the bargain. I am really sorry, but now I know the weight of these three words "Li Xiaolian."
Li Xiaolian frowned slightly, looked at Fang Jie and continued to ask: "Who are you?"
Fang Jie still didn't answer: "I firmly believe that a person who can become famous must not just rely on his prominent life experience. Those who have no ability will be exposed sooner or later. You are called a life-killer by the people of Xiangcheng, and you are regarded as Li Yuanshan by Li Yuanshan.The leader among the family's descendants is naturally not an idiot. Anyone who achieves success has one very good quality self-knowledge. "
Fang Jie leaned forward slightly and asked, "Do you understand what I mean?"
Li Xiaolian nodded: "I also know that I will die whether I say it or not."
Fang Jie hummed: "So you don't plan to say anything."
Li Xiaolian asked for the third time: "Who are you!"
Fang Jie glanced at Zhuo Buyi next to him and asked, "Sir, he said before that it is difficult for a determined person to read minds. How about this person?"
Zhuo Buyi smiled: "He is not determined."
Fang Jie asked: "How can you see it?"
Zhuo Buyi said calmly: "Because I have already seen it."
Fang Jie couldn't help laughing, and said to Li Xiaolian with some regret: "I always hope that what I get is obtained through my own efforts, so I want to talk to you myself. But unfortunately, it seems that there is no such thing now It¡¯s necessary, although it¡¯s interesting to learn the enemy¡¯s secrets.¡±
The next sentence he said to Zhuo Buyi was: "You have lost a lot of fun."
Zhuo Buyi shrugged his shoulders: "I'm lazy."
Li Xiaolian didn¡¯t understand the meaning of the conversation between Fang Jie and Zhuo Buyi, but he could see that there was nothing in him that interested the young man. What he knows better is that when the enemy is not interested in him, then the time of death has arrived.
¡¡
¡¡
"I was born into the Li family and had no choice."
Seeing Fang Jie about to walk out, Li Xiaolian suddenly said this.
Hearing this, Fang Jie, who had already walked to the door, smiled at Zhuo Buyi: "You are right, he is indeed not a determined person."
Li Xiaolian said: "Because I can see from your eyes that you are no longer interested in me."
Fang Jie looked at him and asked, "What else do you have that could interest me now?"
Li Xiaolian was silent for a while and then said seriously: "While I was still reading quietly in the study room of the Li family's old house, Li Yuanshan raised the flag of rebellion. When I learned the news, I understood one thing Because my surname is Li, even if I don¡¯t know anything about Li Yuanshan, there is no way out, so I walked out of the Li family¡¯s old house. Since there is no way out, I can only move forward. "
Fang Jie sat down again and nodded: "I don't deny this. If Li Yuanshan rebels, all of you, the Li family, will have no way out. Once Li Yuanshan is defeated, your lineage will no longer continue. So you do your best. I want to help Li Yuanshan and hope that through my own efforts, I will try my best to prevent misfortunes from happening. This choice is very smart and confident.¡±
Li Xiaolian nodded: "But I only have one starting point for doing this, and that is that I don't want to die."
Fang Jie raised the corner of his mouth: "No one wants to die, but there are many people who have died."
He pointed at Zhuo Buyi: "You don't know this man, but you may have heard of his name. His name is Zhuo Buyi, from the Ouchi Guards Department."
"It's strangeno wonder"
Li Xiaolian sighed: "No wonder you are not eager to know anything about Li Yuanshan from me. It turns out that there is Mr. Zhuo from the Ouchi Guards who can see into people's hearts."
"It turns out you really know."
Fang Jiedao.
"Hou Wenji is in Xiangcheng."
Li Xiaolian said: "So, it is not surprising that I know Mr. Zhuo's name. I am in charge of criminal matters in Xiangcheng, and Hou Wenji is my deputy."
"It turns out that he's not doing well either."
Fang Jie couldn't help but smile: "When I was at the Ouchi Guards, I was the deputy, and when I got to Li Yuanshan, I was still the deputy."
¡°Give me a chance to live, people like me will eventually help you.¡±
Li Xiaolian¡¯s serious hand skills.
Fang Jie was silent for a while and said: "Let me tell you Li Yuanshan's arrangement first. You can save Mr. Zhuo from saying that he is a lazy man."
"Li Yuanshan deployed nearly 400,000 elite soldiers to the west of Xiangcheng, from Xingcheng in the east to Suixian County in the west. He used 400,000 elite soldiers to arrange a pocket, and the opening of the pocket was Xiangcheng. He first used the Seven Tigers to add up his hands. Millions of troops were used as bait to lure the imperial army closer to Xiangcheng. But this bait was not enough. The biggest bait Li Yuanshan placed in front of the imperial army was Xiangcheng and himself. "
"He mobilized a large number of troops from the rear to supplement the front line, and he was still making plans. These troops were still sent to die. No matter how many people died, Li Yuanshan would not feel bad. Once he came, he couldIt can induce the imperial army to penetrate deeper and further, and it can also consume the imperial troops. Then, when the time comes, he will even abandon Xiangcheng and pretend to be defeated and flee in embarrassment. At that time, the imperial army will never be able to resist the temptation. Millions of troops were defeated, and even Xiangcheng was captured. At this time, no matter how wise the emperor was, he would never give up the idea of ??chasing Li Yuanshan. "
"To the west of Xiangcheng is the grave dug by Li Yuanshan for the imperial army. After the imperial army defeated Li Yuanshan's seven tiger generals, and then attacked Xiangcheng, how many troops would be left? And after the victory, the imperial court would inevitably underestimate the enemy and relax, and would not I thought that Li Yuanshan's elite troops had been waiting here for a long time. As long as the emperor came with his men and horses, they would be immediately surrounded by the ambush arranged by Li Yuanshan. And we, the seven patrol envoys, were sent by Li Yuanshan to ensure that nothing happened to the ambush elite troops. "
He glanced at Fang Jie: "Of course, not only these, but also the Meng Yuan Wolf Cavalry that Li Yuanshan has not used. The reason why the Meng Yuan people have not withdrawn yet is because they are waiting for this day, whether it is Li Yuanshan or Kuoketai Meng Ge , will not give up the opportunity to kill the Sui Emperor. What's more, there are more than two people who want to kill the Sui Emperor, so this situation has no solution now Even if I tell you all this, You send someone to report to the imperial army immediately, there is no time. "
After saying this, he looked at Fang Jie and asked: "Since you already know a lot about me, you should understand how beneficial it is for you to keep me. Whether Li Yuanshan wins, the imperial court wins, or Luo Yao stands in the end Now that you have come out, what you need most now is to expand your strength. If you want to gain a foothold in the northwest, you need more people to help you!"
Fang Jie smiled and said gently: "It seems you know who I am."
Li Xiaolian said: "I don't have a useful head, and I don't have the bargaining chip to exchange my life."
"When you told me that he was Mr. Chu Zhuo, the imperial guard, I guessed it was you. You defeated Meng Wansui's Western Camp at Hou Wushan and then withdrew. Li Yuanshan already knew about this. You are now Here, it's probably because you have guessed Li Yuanshan's purpose But I advise you, try not to get involved in this situation. Sometimes, sit aside and watch two or three tigers bite each other, and then pick them up and die. Selling the tiger skin and making a profit is the most correct choice.¡±
Fang Jie sighed: "Just these words, I have to look at you with admiration. If a smart person like you helps me, many things will become easier. I am indeed tempted."
Li Xiaolian smiled: "It's of high quality and low price. There's no reason for you to give up."
"Yeah, there's no reason to give up."
Fang Jie said gently: "But I have never been a reasonable person."
He waved his hand, and Chen Xiaoru immediately grabbed Li Xiaolian's hair and stabbed Li Xiaolian's chest several times with the knife in his other hand. Blood gushes out instantly, immediately dyeing the clothes in front of Li Xiaolian red.
"Whywhy"
He asked with all his strength before falling to the ground, and the words had become difficult to recognize.
Fang Jie walked to him and knelt down, and whispered into his ear: "Because you are so smart. Although I really appreciate you, when I think about you following me, I have to beware of your schemes every day. I am always on guard." I feel very hard when you take away everything from my hands. You are not someone who wants to be inferior to others. You also want to try to see if you can survive in troubled times. If you didn't meet someone like you. It's really possible to achieve great things. You are a dangerous personand it is really irresistible to get rid of an opponent in advance. It's very satisfying"
Fang Jie stood up and looked at Li Xiaolian's body falling softly with calm eyes: "Actually, you should have known your end when I asked you if you were hungry, and the most correct thing for you to do is not to say this to me. Talk too much, but say you're hungryat the very least, I'll let you eat before you die."
PS: (This chapter is a missed update) In order to thank the two alliance leaders Melancholy Without Tears and Marshal Sven, I said that I would update it three times a day for the last two weeks. Some updates were delayed due to cervical vertebra problems, and a few days were delayed due to the certificate application. First of all, I would like to apologize to Melancholy and Young Marshal, and I will make up for the missed updates. I owe a total of nine chapters. This is the first chapter to make up, and there are still eight chapters left. No one wants to make a fortune by breaking their promise, and no one wants to harm their character, but everything planned may not always go well. It¡¯s normal to remind people, and you¡¯re welcome to remind them often. This is a good thing that makes me code, but I can¡¯t calmly accept scolding, that¡¯s all.
