Chapter 774 I am such a man Du Mu was rejected outside the Black Flag Army camp. As expected, Fang Jie, the commander of the Black Flag Army, had no intention of meeting him. In fact, he had never left the city. That's what I thought it would be. There are two prerequisites for any negotiation. First, both parties can gain certain benefits from the negotiation. Second, both sides have capital that can threaten the other. Du Mu was able to convince other city lords to protect Jin's safety because he met these two conditions. But facing the Black Flag Army, he had no confidence at all. The opponent's powerful troops are outside the city. At this time, the opponent may not be interested in talking about anything other than opening the door and surrendering immediately. Tens of thousands of people from the Black Flag Army took turns spitting at the city gate, which could disgust the soldiers guarding the gate to death. After standing outside the Black Flag Army camp for a long time, he could only sigh deeply and turn around to go back. As for what Fang Jie was told by someone, it was just a joke. Twenty thousand lotus leaf chickens were produced in two days, and the other party was just having fun. There is a small river not far to the north of Jin'an City. The widest part is less than four meters, and the narrowest part is only about two meters. Anyone with a little more flexibility can jump across it. There is a wooden bridge over the river. It has been there for many years and looks shaky and may collapse at any time. The wooden bridge flows over the water, with weeping willows on both sides. Although the river bridge is broken, it still looks unique. If those poets who are full of eroticism see it, they will definitely recite a few colorful words. This small river doesn¡¯t even have a name, but there are many fish in the river. If the Black Flag Army had not pressed down on the border, many people in the city would have been fishing by the river. Du Mu walked back with his two followers looking frustrated. Du Mu had been thinking about how he should complete Ning Hao's instructions. But no matter how much I think about it, I'm not sure at all. When he was approaching the river, he suddenly smelled a fragrance. He raised his head and looked forward. He saw a young man in white fishing by the river. He had a fishing rod next to him and a wildfire was lit next to him. , grilling a plump catfish. The aroma wafts over from there, and the smell actually increases one's appetite. Out of curiosity, Du Mu couldn't help but take a closer look at the young man in white. Because his back was turned, he couldn't see his face, but he could tell from his attire that he was not very old. Occasionally when I turn sideways to flip the grilled fish, the lines on that profile face are actually beautiful and without a single flaw. You can tell from the clothes he is wearing that they are expensive, and the wine bag beside him looks like ordinary goods, but the dove egg-sized gem inlaid on it is absolutely extraordinary, and the brilliance reflected in the sun is piercing. Everyone's eyes hurt a little. Jin'an City is not big, and Du Mu knows all the prominent people in the city, so he is sure that this young master is definitely not a native of Jin'an. Anyone who dares to fish safely under the iron heel of the Black Flag Army at this time is naturally not a mortal. "You guys go back first." Du Mu ordered, not knowing why he just wanted to go over and have a few words with the young master. Maybe it¡¯s because the grilled fish is so sweet, or maybe it¡¯s because the young man is too impeccable. "I'm sorry to bother you, sir. Since then, when I passed by and smelled the fish fragrance, I couldn't move. I hope you won't be surprised." Du Mu came closer and bowed down to salute. The young man in white didn't look back, and said in a very soft voice: "We are destined to meet each other. Besides, the water here is so beautiful and the fish is fat. I can't eat so much by myself. Please sit down." Du Mu was not polite, and stood opposite the young man in white. Sitting down, he was curious about the young man's appearance from a distance, but after sitting down, Du Mu was embarrassed and didn't know what to say. For a person who is known for his eloquence, this is really incredible. Du Mu forced himself to think deeply, and then he determined that it was because the young master's demeanor was too pressing, so he did not dare to speak. Especially sitting face to face like this, he didn't dare to look at the young master's appearance. Du Mu is not someone who has never seen the world. At least he has met many city lords in Nanyan. He can feel the aura of superiority in those big shots. But this young man is different. ¡°I obviously feel that this person is very gentle and natural, but I feel like there is a whole world between me and him. ? Out of reach. The demeanor of this young master is not domineering, nor is it noble and gorgeous. Du Mu can't explain it clearly. The only thing that is clear is the word distance. "Where are you from, sir?" Du Mu hesitated for a while before asking. "Forgot" The answer of the young man in white was very simple but not perfunctory, because he really thought about it carefully before answering: "I like rafting by nature, and I will stop wherever the scenery is attractive. Whether it is the majestic beauty of mountains, rivers, or rivers, Or a small bridge?The beauty of water and jasper always makes me stop. But when I reach a certain place, I forget what the place looks like or even its name. " Du Mu was startled, wondering how could there be such a person? "Are you from this city? "The young man in white asked. "Yes" Du Mu nodded: "I grew up in Jin'an since I was a child. " "Well, why don't you leave? "The young man in white clothes continued to ask. "Reluctant" Du Mu replied. "Okay" The young man in white clothes nodded: "As long as a person still has reluctance in his heart, he is not a bad person. " "What are you doing here, sir?" " Du Mu asked. "Let's see a wicked person Everyone says he is a wicked person. If you don't see it with your own eyes, you still won't believe it. There are many people in this world who are called evil people, but there are very few who can truly deserve the word evil. " Du Mu's heart moved, and he felt that he knew who he was talking about. So he couldn't help but look back at the Black Flag Army camp, only to find a black and white shadow coming as fast as lightning. His heart began to He jumped wildly involuntarily, and suddenly realized that he was very likely to be involved in something big. At this moment, he felt that he was dead, and his soul was floating here, waiting for the story that was about to happen The white lion stopped by the river and looked at the fishing man in white with squinted eyes. It seemed to be confused, as if it was not sure of its own judgment. It stopped some distance away from the river, and then. Looking over there from a distance, Fang Jie got off the white lion's back and gently stroked it a few times. The white lion raised his head and looked at him, and Fang Jie raised the corner of his mouth. He smiled. "Stay here," he said, and then walked towards the river. Du Mu had never seen Fang Jie, but he knew it when he saw the white lion and the iconic black robe. Who is this person? So his heart, which was already beating out of his throat, became even more excited, so much so that he found it difficult to breathe. The young man opposite him was dressed in white like snow, while Fang's undressed black robe was like ink. . If you look at these two people alone, they are both handsome young men, but when they are together, they look so different. "There is a little more honey. " This was Fang Jie's first sentence. The young man in white couldn't help but smile, and then pointed to the grass beside him: "Please sit down." Fang Jie sat down cross-legged, and naturally stretched out his hand to grill the fish. Du Mu sat on both sides. Personally, I always feel like the drop of ink accidentally dropped in a perfect painting carefully painted by a great master. It seems so redundant and completely destroys the artistic conception of the painting. If there is only this black in the painting. One and two people are perfect. So he shut up, lowered his head, didn't look, didn't say anything, and tried to minimize his impact on this artistic conception, but he couldn't stop his heart from racing. He didn't know. Who is the young man in white clothes, but since he can sit face to face with Fang Jie like this, it means that this person must have an amazing background. Fang Jie doesn¡¯t know who this young man in white clothes is. When he was about to rest in the military camp, the white lion was stunned. Chaos suddenly became anxious and looked to the south warily. Fang Jie knew the ability of the white lion, and he would not be afraid even if he faced the great practitioner, because it had unparalleled speed and could escape from any dangerous situation. Fang Jie could see that the white lion's reaction was a little scared and worried. If it wasn't a threat to the white lion's safety, how could it be so uneasy? So, Fang Jie knew that some big shot must have arrived since he went south. , it has been a long time since I met a big shot. Fang Jie saw that the fish was already cooked, so he took it off and handed it to Du Mu: "Are you Du Mu from Jin'an City? " Du Mu quickly saluted: "I am the one who has met the father-in-law. " "You are quite well informed. " Fang Jie smiled, picked up the second fish in the bucket and started to remove the scales. Du Mu quickly smiled and said: "Since I have something to ask for from my father-in-law, I naturally have to understand him first. " "What a crude technique." The young man in white glanced at Fang Jie and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing: "Removing the scales like this will ruin the skin of the fish and damage the meat. No matter how strong the grilling technique is, it will inevitably damage the taste." " The golden aura in Fang Jie's hand was looming, and he quickly picked up a fish. The young man in white said regretfully again: "What a waste! " Fang Jie glanced at him: "So pretentious.??¡± The young man in white was slightly startled, looked at Fang Jie and asked, ¡°Why do you say it¡¯s hypocritical? " Fang Jie said calmly: "You said that I was rough by removing my scales, and you said that I wasted my inner energy. Isn't this hypocritical? No matter how badly damaged the fish is, it is still fish and cannot smell like shit. The purpose of cultivating inner strength is for convenience, so whether it is used to kill people or collect fish, it is all about making the best use of the material, so you are being hypocritical. The young man in white smiled and said, "You are indeed a wicked person." " Fang Jie did not deny it. He turned to look at Du Mu and said, "Go and wait in my camp. You are not dead today. It's a blessing. I can't keep you for any use. The young man in white asked, "How do you know I will kill him?" " Du Mu immediately got up, turned around and ran north without even looking back. "No" Fang Jie shook his head: "If he doesn't leave, I'm going to kill him. " The young man in white looked at the ripples bouncing on the water, but he didn't stop. Fang Jie didn't continue to grill the second fish, with a solemn expression. "Since you are afraid, why did you come? The young man in white asked. Fang explained: "Curiosity is like eating spicy food. You know you will be constipated the next day, but you still can't help it." " The young man in white didn't seem to care about the vulgarity in Fang Jie's words, and shook his head: "If you are addicted to spicy food, you will not be able to poop at most, and if you are addicted to curiosity, you may die. " "Yeah" Fang Jie looked at him and said seriously: "Although I don't know who you are or where you come from, there is something I have been holding back from saying since just now Will you die if you don't pretend? It's obviously you who brought me here, but now you're pretending to be incomprehensible. It's really disgusting, really. " The young man in white clothes still didn't get angry, but smiled: "You are wrong I am not pretending, I am really very unpredictable. " He looked back at the white lion Hun Chao, then looked at Fang Jie: "Aren't you pretending too? It looked like I came alone, but in fact there were six of them. "I'm not pretending either," Fang explained: "If I had more masters around me, I would have more. Sixit's really not many." " The young man in white couldn't help but pointed to the north: "It's enough to bring six masters. There are at least five hundred people with firearms in their hands ready at any time. Do you think that kind of thing is useful? There are only five hundred soldiers waiting, but there are at least thousands of cavalry waiting in formation. A round of arrows can block the river How afraid of death are you? " Fang Jie said matter-of-factly: "I am such a decisive man. "
