Xiang qingniu trotted with his stomach covered and soon disappeared. He didn't know where to get into the grass for convenience. Looking at the fat figure flying away in sight, Fang Xie smiled and shook his head. It's just a chance meeting with the fat man. He saw through the fat man trying to deceive him on the way. Then they walked together, and the two were happy to make jokes, which meant a little collusion.
Even Fang Xie didn't expect that Xiang qingniu could stand up and help himself at this moment. Although Xiang qingniu said it was easy, he must have spent a lot of effort to win himself such a chance to turn around. It's just that people like Xiang qingniu don't even bother to do what most people take for granted and disdain to do.
Fang Xie has never been a person willing to waste opportunities.
He took a deep breath, then walked slowly to the man sitting in the middle of the tea shop. When he first arrived in this world, he didn't adapt to the exciting life of being chased and killed. Mu Xiaoyao once told him to take a deep breath if you are afraid. In the face of crisis, a deep breath may bring you back to life.
Be quiet. The more critical it is, the more quiet it is. Since then, Fang Xie took a deep breath every time he encountered a problem, which has become his habit.
He walked over and stood not far from the man. Then Fang Xie found that he was uncomfortable.
There was only one stool next to the table, and the man sat down. There was only a bowl of tea on the table, and the man was savoring it. I don't know what the cheap tea brick can taste. Although Fang Xie doesn't know who he is, he can make Xiang qingniu say that his life and death is only between this person's thoughts. This person's status is obviously frightening. Fang Xie even suspected that the height of the man had been separated from the scope of the stick, but the hand holding the stick.
There was only one supreme in the Sui Dynasty, and the supreme was also a man, with only two hands. Fang Xie assumes that this person's height can reach the point of one hand, which shows how much attention he attaches to this person.
Without stools and tea, Fang Xie could only stand and thirsty. But there was no trace of displeasure or excessive humility on his face.
"I've seen you, master"
Fang Xie saluted with a fist.
The man who couldn't see his age didn't look up and still focused on tasting worthless tea. He seemed to be waiting for Fang Xie to go on, and he didn't seem to care about the existence of Fang Xie at all.
Fang Xie was silent and leaned forward slightly.
After a while, the man put down the tea bowl in his hand and said, "I'm very busy."
Fang Xie gave a sound, then stood up straight and said: "I don't know how to get rid of the crime. The person who broke into the military headquarters at night is mine. Although I want to mention it, I can't mention it. Because the people involved will make the matter more complicated, I can only say that she did something stupid to break the national law because she was worried that I would die. But this person is very important to me. I can't watch her die, so we Can only escape. "
The man frowned slightly, then looked up and thought, "you're wasting my time. Xiang qingniu really flattered you when he said you were smart."
Fang Xie pursed her lips and said: "I can't do what she died and I live. Maybe in your eyes, it's worthless women's benevolence and the most stupid idea. In fact, when I decided to escape the imperial capital, someone advised me to abandon my companions in order to live alone. I didn't hesitate, but what I hesitated was whether I had the ability to do my best rather than being alone."
"You go"
The man waved his hand and said, "I'm not interested in fools and people who think they stick to the so-called moral bottom line. Because the latter is not as good as fools. They are idiots. Go back to your companions. Since you attach so much importance to love and righteousness, you must be willing to die with your companions. I can make you do this and let you die on the same day, the same month, the same year."
Fang Xie said, "thanks a lot."
He turned and left without a trace of muddle.
The man was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect Fang Xie to really leave. He didn't expect that this guy, who was called a first-class smart man by Xiang qingniu, wouldn't even try. Even if he didn't kneel down and beg him to let him go, at least he had to try to convince himself. But the boy didn't do anything, just emphasized the poor man he adhered to once The so-called bottom line is worthless.
"There is only one stool and a bowl of tea here... Do you feel that you are despised, so you feel uncomfortable? So that you pretend to be firm to show that you are not humble?"
He asked.
Go out three or four steps, fangxie stop.
He turned to look at the man, slowly shook his head and said seriously, "if you can ensure that my companions and I will not die, what is the contempt of standing thirsty? If you say you can let us go this time, and then let me kneel down and climb to your feet and lick your boots, I'd like to."
Hearing this, three people frowned at the same time.
One is this seemingly domineering man, the other is the perfect young man sitting on the far left, and the other is the man sitting in the curtain of the tea shop.
"Well, you first get down on your knees and climb over."
The man sitting on the stool suddenly replied in a flat tone.
Fang Xie took a deep breath and asked, "if I climbed over, would you let me and my companions go?"
The middle-aged man didn't answer.
Fang Xie asked again, "or if I die, will you let them go?"
The middle-aged man still didn't answer.
Fang Xie was silent for a moment, looked at the man and said in awe: "Although I don't know what your identity is, is it so high that I can't even see it when I look up. I'm just a little scout from the border city of fan Gu, and I'm not outstanding among hundreds of millions of people in the Sui Dynasty. In terms of identity and strength, maybe you're an eagle flying in the sky, and I'm just a mole ant tired of running. But if you're not an official of the Sui Dynasty, but It is the enemy of the great Sui Dynasty who makes me beg for a chance to live in this way. I will only answer you with a horizontal knife, even if I will die. "
After saying this, he lifted his robe and prepared to kneel on one knee.
After these words, someone who had been very disappointed with him suddenly brightened his eyes and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly. He raised his hand and gently tapped on the table, then got up and left.
When the man sitting in the middle of the tea shop heard this tap, his face changed, and then he couldn't help laughing.
"You are his disciple, so you don't have to kneel down to me... If you had told us the origin between you and him when you entered Chang'an City, who would have embarrassed you? Who would have dared to embarrass you? Even if you did something wrong, you would have a chance to make a change. You should be glad that what you said just now saved you, because you didn't forget your roots... You didn't forget that you were a people of the Sui Dynasty, so let me see When it comes to your other job, what is it? "
"Good"
He said.
The man stood up, smiled and said, "let's go and take you to a place."
He took a step forward and suddenly turned his head to look at the young man in white sitting on the far left. He frowned slightly and a sharp look flashed in his eyes.
The young man in white still stared at his tea bowl, as if nothing had changed. But no one noticed that he quietly released the French seal held by his left index finger, thumb and ring finger, and his fingers trembled slightly.
……
……
Fang Xie knew he was right, and he was right again on the edge of life and death.
In the courtyard of the Imperial Guard's office, he was slightly distracted by the ripe fruit on the peach tree. The man who took him into the Imperial Palace told him to wait here, and then left quietly. Nearly two hours have passed since he entered the palace, Fang Xie has been standing in the yard, and no one came to pay attention to him.
He looked at the peach and really wanted to pick one and eat it.
From the morning until now, the water and rice have not come in. He is very hungry.
Although he knew that those peaches that were not ripe would not be delicious, and they were too sour to swallow. But after being hungry and thirsty all day, even looking at a green peach would make people twitch slightly in their stomach.
"What are you doing?"
Just as he was staring at a green peach, someone asked behind him.
Fang Xie turned around and saw a familiar figure.
"I've seen Mr. Zhuo."
He bent down to salute.
Zhuo Buyi walked over slowly, sat down on the stone bench not far from Fang Xie and asked, "why did I see you staring at the green peach so focused just now? What did the peach give you, or were you thinking about something else?"
Fang Xie smiled and said: "An expert always complicates very simple things. Do you think I saw the green peach and realized what the truth of life is? Really not... I just feel thirsty now, and I can imagine that the peach must be very sour. When I think of it, my mouth will drool, and my saliva is also water... Swallow more and my throat won't dry It hurts. "
For Fang Xie's answer, Zhuo Buyi was speechless.
"I really can't imagine that you are still in the mood to joke in such a situation."
He said.
Fang Xie shook his head and said, "I'm really not kidding. I'm really thirsty."
Zhuo Buyi stared at him and asked, "do you know that you almost died in the tea shop outside the city?"
"Know"
Fang Xie smiled and said, "but I'm not dead."
"You're lucky."
Zhuo Buyi said.
Fang Xie continued to look at the green peach and swallow his saliva: "maybe, my luck seems to have been good all the time."
Chang Chunyuan
Dome house
The emperor glanced at Luo Weiran, who was standing bowed at the door, nodded and said, "come in and talk... Where is the boy arranged?"
"Wait at the bodyguard in the big house."
Luo Weiran entered the door and spoke with his head down.
"What do you think?"
Asked the emperor.
Luo Weiran thought for a while and replied, "Your Majesty already feels it, so I dare not have my own feeling."
The emperor was stunned and then smiled and scolded: "flattering officials should be killed. You can say what you think. Your flattering skills are not hot enough. At least they are far worse than Su Buwei."
Standing on one side, Su Buwei smiled awkwardly, filled tea for the emperor and retreated to an insignificant corner. At this time, Luo Weiran found that Mingming Su Buwei was standing next to the emperor, but there was an illusion that he could not be found in the room. He stood there like a clothes hanger and a stool, which were the furnishings in the room rather than a person.
Therefore, Luo Weiran paid more attention to Su Buwei, the eunuch who was promoted by the imperial study.
Luo Weiran said: "I don't see what's outstanding about the young man, but since he can take the young man as a disciple, he even doesn't hesitate to give the world's first-class divine medicine like Xiao Jindan to save the young man's life, which must be reasonable, although I don't see what the truth is. The young man's physique can't practice, and his knees seem too soft..."
He was talking about letting Fang Xie kneel.
"You are the commander of the Imperial Guard. He is just a small soldier of the border army. Kneeling, you obey the rules of the great Sui Dynasty and can't be soft. My disappointment is that... He cherishes his life too much. If a person cherishes his life too much, he will lose his loyalty."
"That's what I'm worried about, but fortunately... He still has the pride that soldiers in the Sui Dynasty should have."
"I like this pride."
After a moment of silence, the emperor said, "take him to Changchun Garden. No matter whether the young man is qualified to be his disciple or not, after all, this is an unchangeable thing. For ten years, the young man is the last person to see him. I want to ask the young man what he looks like now and where he has gone..."
"What about the army?"
Luo Weiran asked tentatively.
"Naturally, we can't just let Fang Xie go. I'll think about how to kill him after I ask."
The emperor waved his hand and said, "in addition, go and find out why there is a strong man in the eighth grade as a guard. I'm also curious about it. In order to save him, a strong man in the eighth grade even goes into the lobby of the Ministry of military without offending the national law... I want to know if there's anything hidden behind it."
"Here!"
Luo Weiran answered and bowed back.
At the same time, in the courtyard of the bodyguard's office, Fang Xie saw that the green peach really realized something. He slapped his forehead and screamed.
"The old lame cheated me again. Where are two people, it's clearly one person!"
At the same time, the wonderful monk chenya, who entered Chang'an City, looked at all kinds of creatures in the street, looked at the satisfaction and pride on the faces of those people in the Sui Dynasty, and looked at the vigorous vitality and vitality of these people without faith. He couldn't help frowning and said to himself, "master, what you said is right. This is indeed a place where demons run rampant."
