PS: Where are the heroes fighting over the prefix? The top ten in the monthly vote list are not far away. Chapter 732: Everything was for the sake of a killing outside Sui City, which didn't seem to calm down Fang Jie's heart. When he returned to Dingyuan City, he still held the Chaolu knife in his hand, and the killing intent on the blade, which was not stained by blood, was still so strong. The guard team escorted the prisoners into the city, and the carriage that had not had time to be placed was pulled directly into the city. The three foreigners who were captured alive kept looking fearfully at the man in black robe walking in front of him with his head slightly lowered. No matter how they looked at him, they felt that he was not the same person. How can a person use a fire dragon as a weapon? How can a person deflect a bullet with a knife blade? "The general seems to be very depressed." Chen Xiaoru kicked a dragging prisoner back into the team. Looking at Fang Jie's back, he always felt that the general looked so lonely today. Chen Xiaoru didn't know what kind of emotions could affect the general like this, but such a quiet general made people particularly scared. Even he felt scared. The defenders of Dingyuan City imprisoned the prisoners and took a dozen or so officers-looking people into the General's Mansion, including the three surviving foreigners. Perhaps because they didn't understand Fang Jie, it seemed that they The fear is less than that of the Nanyan people. Fang Jie sat down on the chair and placed the Chaolu knife on the table in front of him. He took out his pocket watch, looked at it, and then said to the foreigner standing at the front: "I'll give you five minutes to explain clearly the purpose of your coming and the purpose of the forces behind you." The shopkeeper of Huotong Tianxiaxing quickly translated Again, the foreigner didn't seem to feel any threat in Fang Jie's tone, or perhaps Fang Jie's delicate face made his previous fear less severe, so he shook his head and said nothing. Fang Jie picked up the Chaolu knife from the table and split the foreigner into two pieces with one blow. He pointed at the second foreigner with his Chaolu knife: "Now it's your turn." The second foreigner was a bearded man. He really didn't expect that this Han man could be so violent. He only asked one question, and then turned his companion into a man with a knife. It became two corpses. The smell of blood and stench from the internal organs rushed into his nose and then directly into his brain. He looked at the pool of flesh and blood, and he didn't hold back for long before he started to vomit violently. Fang Jie waited for him to vomit until there was nothing left to vomit, and while he was retching yellow water, he tapped the table with his fingers. The bearded man trembled in fright and subconsciously took a step back. "Wewe are from the Principality of Rus." He wiped the corners of his mouth with trembling hands and said, "I came to Nanyan under the general's order to assist the Nanyan army in resisting your army. We know we were wrong, and we are now yours The prisoner no, he is your servant. I am willing to tell you everything I know, I just hope you can leave us a living hope." Fang Jie waited for the shopkeeper of Huotingtianxiaxing to finish the translation and said: "Everyone. Everyone will have a chance to survive. Whether you give it to me or not is up to you. " "A long time ago, the emperor of Chu sent people to contact the Grand Duke of Ross, hoping to use the strength of the Grand Duke of Ross to join forces against the Sui Dynasty. The country went to war to regain the land that was taken away by the Sui Kingdom, but the Grand Duke of Ross was not very enthusiastic. Although he received many gifts from the Emperor of Chu, he was unwilling to let the army leave the Principality of Ross. " The bearded man collected his thoughts. Then began to tell. "Since the demise of the Aegean Empire, although the Opuru Empire has not continued to attack, but has recognized the status of each prince, everyone knows that the Opuru Empire is simply a beast. It is only in the war with the Aegean Empire. He is tired from fighting and needs to take a rest. When it rests, the outcome will be the same. So Grand Duke Ross wants to keep the army by his side, at least there will be a chance to escape. " "This matter has been delayed for a long time. The envoys from the country kept finding Grand Duke Ross, but he still didn't agree. Later, he couldn't delay anymore, so he decided to send six mages over, which was considered a favor to Grand Duke Ross. He thought that the six mages were helping Chu to kill some people. "There is still no problem." "Later, I don't know how the Opuru Empire found out about this, and sent people to the Principality of Ross to urge the Grand Duke of Ross to send troops. The Grand Duke of Ross thought that the Opuru Empire was about to attack, so he didn't dare to send troops. Not long after, he was assassinated. "How do you know so much?" Fang Jie asked. After the translation, the bearded man said sadly: "I was a close guard of the Grand Duke of Ross. I saw the Grand Duke of Ross being assassinated with my own eyes, and watched him fall in front of me Not long after that, the Ross Empire sent a An army came and took over the Duke of Ross. Then the general began to have direct contact with the people of Chu. I don¡¯t know much about what happened next.After death, we people will become slaves and be scolded by others. " "Originally we didn't want to come here, but the people of the Opuru Empire will kill all our families because we don't come. " "How many of you are here? " "Five hundred people, most of them are in Dali City. " The bearded man was afraid that Fang Jie would not believe him, so he gestured with his hands unconsciously as he spoke: "The Principality of Rus is not powerful. Even among the original Aegean Empire, it was only a second-rate principality. Its army never exceeded 3,000 people. . But the Principality of Rus is the musket warehouse of the Aegean Empire. Because of its iron mines and a large number of workshops, half of the muskets equipped by the Aegean Empire's army are manufactured in the Principality of Rus. " "So, although we only came with 500 people, we brought at least 5,000 muskets. " "Where's the artillery? " Fang Jie asked. The bearded man seemed a little surprised by Fang Jie's understanding of artillery. He glanced at Fang Jie and replied: "The Aegean Empire's firearms are still relatively backward. Because of the corruption of the empire, no one continues to study the evolution of firearms. Therefore, no powerful artillery has been built at all. Although it can be cast, the forged artillery has too many scraps and often explodes. The artillery brought this time was provided by the Opuru Empire. It was very powerful and equipped with two kinds of shells. " "Two kinds? " "Yes, one is a shell with average explosive power but strong penetrating power. The other is that after it explodes, there will be a series of shells exploded by lower firearms inside, which is very lethal. " "Opulu Empire" Fang Jie murmured, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. Jiangbei Road Sui Army Camp Puhu leaned on a low wall and looked at the river in the distance, the fog Mengmeng can't see clearly. Luo Tu's rebels have all withdrawn to Jiangnan. This shows that Luo Tu must have reached an agreement with those in Jiangnan Tonggu Academy. Otherwise, his army would not have been able to enter Jiangnan so easily. When Yao led his troops into Jiangnan, Tonggu Academy did not stop him because they knew that Luo Yao would leave soon, but it was different now. Luo Tu needed a foothold to camp on the north side of the Yangtze River, but he did not dare to get too close to Luo Tu. Tu's rebels had a navy that was much larger than that of the Sui Army. After the Yangtze River Navy split, the strongest part was taken away by Wang Yiqu and joined forces with Gao Kaitai to rebel in the northwest. They were subdued by Luo Yao and became a small part of the rebel navy, but the smallest part was returned to Fang Jie, and their combat power was not as good as 20% of the imperial navy. Parading back and forth, if you move further south, you will be hit on the head by Luo Tu's rebel navy. Since Luo Tu retreated to the south of the Yangtze River, the navy's power seems to have become stronger, but Puhu is not in the mood to go now. Thinking about this, all he could think about was the armored general. He didn't believe that Yang Jian would kill the little emperor. He firmly believed that the little emperor was his descendant and direct descendant. How could he treat the little emperor. Killer? The eldest brother once told him that he was here to protect the Yang family. He would not take away the throne of the young emperor. After the four directions were settled, the eldest brother would take him away. This is not a good ending. But why did so many changes happen just after he left Chang'an City? No matter what happened, Puhu has never wavered in his trust in his elder brother. Since their father passed away, the only one who is good to him in the world is his elder brother. Even the second brother who fought alongside Puhu was unwilling to be too close to Puhu because of his character. The eldest brother was generous and the second brother was unruly, but he returned to this bright world this time. His personality has changed a lot. Maybe it¡¯s because he has only had the old scalper as his companion in the past two hundred years, so he has become a lot more cheerful after seeing so many living people. I believe that the kind-hearted eldest brother would kill his descendants. The scene he had with him before he fell asleep often echoed in Puhu's mind. Yang Jian was obviously much older. Leaning on the chair, although his body looked old, there was a look in his eyes that surprised Puhu. It was a light of hope. Puhu saw an old man in Yang Jian's eyes. There should be hope. "Puthu" "Huh? " "What should I do if the descendants of the Yang family are unable to protect this empire after I die? Yang Jian asked. Puhu thought about it seriously and then replied: "That is a matter for the descendants of the Yang family."Brother, why do you have to worry about this? You should believe that your descendants can continue this empire. "But I'm afraid," Yang Jian said: "I'm afraid that the empire I worked so hard to build will collapse. I'm afraid that the descendants of the people I have killed will take revenge." So, if there is an opportunity for me to live forever and protect this empire, do you think I should seize the opportunity? " "Immortal? "Puhu was stunned for a moment, not thinking that this was really possible, so he answered casually: "If there is such an opportunity, of course it would be great. But who can escape the cycle of life and death? " "You also said yes, that's good. " Yang Jian smiled, and then said to Puhu: "Then, are you willing to help me and protect this empire and my descendants? " "willing! " Puhu answered quickly, because there is no doubt about it. "I beg you one thing. Yang Jian pointed to a porcelain bottle on the table: "That's the elixir prepared by the old dean himself. If you are willing to help me, take it." The old dean will find a way to make me fall into a deep sleep and stay alive. When there is a crisis in Da Sui, I will wake up and save Da Sui. But I need someone to watch over me all the time and wake me up at critical moments. Are you willing? After taking these elixirs, your body will undergo some changes, your body's aging will almost stop, and you can live for many years. " "ah? " Puhu was stunned for a moment: "What kind of medicine is this? " "It should be said it's Gu. Yang Jian said slowly: "There are fifteen pills in this bottle. Swallow one every twenty years." Because the poison that maintains your body only has a lifespan of twenty years, you must eat new poison before it dies. With your cultivation level, you can bear it, but I can't If I swallow this pill, I'm afraid I will be poisoned and die immediately. " "good! " Puhu agreed without hesitation: "I'll guard my brother, I'll wake you up" Yang Jian took Puhu's hand and said excitedly: "We brothers worked together to create the Sui Dynasty, and we brothers will work together again. To maintain this Sui Dynasty. I know you will help me, you always will. Together, you and I are looking after this empire and looking after my descendants. It's like a big umbrella, protecting them from rain and snow. " "Brother! "When Puhu thought of this, he suddenly felt something strange around him. When he looked up, he realized that Yang Jian was standing beside him at some point. "Puhu, do you still remember what you promised me? Yang Jian asked. Puhu nodded: "Remember!" " Yang Jian hummed: "Then believe me, everything I do is for the Sui Dynasty. " "good! " Puhu nodded again, holding back all his questions. It seemed like it had always been like this, whatever the elder brother said, he agreed unconditionally. But this time, even he didn't notice that he was saying the word "good" He hesitated before, although the hesitation was so short.
