Before going to the southwest, Xie thought about how to meet Luo Yao many times and what it would be like to meet for the first time. But when he saw the man coming up and looking at the man's eyes, he found that he was really not ready.
Fang Xie hasn't felt flustered for a long time.
He's a little flustered now.
Luo Yao didn't wear armor, only a navy blue robe, a jade belt around his waist, and cloth shoes instead of riding boots. He walked slowly forward with his hands down, and his body was pulled out very straight. This is a man whose appearance is very different from that in the legend. Although Fang Xie doesn't believe in the rumor that he has a green face and tusks and is two feet tall, he also feels that Luo Yao should be a tough man in his impression.
Luo Yao is not very tall, about 1.75 meters, a little shorter than Fang Xie.
He is well proportioned. Although he is over sixty, he still looks tall and strong. His steps are not big. If you look carefully, you will find that he walks the same distance at each step. From this point, we can see that a person's temperament must be very strict with the rules.
National face, short beard.
The sword eyebrows and eyes stand up, not angry.
What worries people most is his temperament. Fang Xie is sure that only those who have been stained with countless blood will have this cold and uncomfortable temperament. Even if such a person doesn't speak, even standing there motionless can make ordinary people afraid.
Fang Xie was a little distracted. If Mu Xiaoyao hadn't touched him behind his back, he hadn't reacted.
"Under the official interpretation, I have seen the general."
Fang Xie bowed slightly.
Luo Yao said, "you are an angel envoy. You don't have to salute me."
Fang Xie said, "according to the rules, I really don't have to salute the great general, but at this time, I worship the great general who has made countless achievements in Garrisoning the border for more than 20 years. I worship the barrier in the southwest of the Sui Dynasty, which is my sincere and sincere respect. It has nothing to do with the emperor's life, and it has nothing to do with my status."
Luo Yao couldn't help nodding, his eyes staring at Fang Xie's face.
"You're good at talking."
He said faintly.
Fang Xie said seriously, "the best words are never lies, but sincerity."
Luo Yao took two steps forward and stopped. Suddenly, he leaned over with his fist and saluted the other party: "Luo Yao, the left avant-garde general, have you seen the imperial envoy!"
Fang Xie hurriedly came forward and held him: "why should the general be so polite."
Luo Yao straightened up and said slowly, "rules are rules and can't be abolished. If you avoid rules because you think I'm respectable, others will do the same. In the long run, the rules will disappear. The imperial envoy represents your majesty... You saluted me just now, and I regard it as your personal identity. Now I salute you, not you, but your majesty."
Fang Xie could not help but secretly said that this man was indeed a guy who was very strict with the rules.
Just as Fang Xie was about to say something, Luo Yao suddenly saluted again: "this is to replace the apology of the officials and people of Pingshang road to the imperial envoy. It's my problem that there was an assassin, and it's also the problem of the local officials of Pingshang road. Lord Luo Qiu, the governor of Pingshang Road, has also come from Yongzhou, but he is a civil official. I hope the imperial envoy will not blame him."
Fang Xie was stunned and said in his heart, why is Luo Yao so polite?
Suddenly, Fang Xie's heart hurt tightly.
Before we separated from him when we crossed Mangdangshan mountain, huaiqiugong's words to him suddenly came out of his heart.
"In fact, it's not difficult to say. You just need to remember that people must be guilty if they want to mess up. No matter who it is. So you can see some clues from Luo Yao's attitude towards you. If he is cold and indifferent to you, he will still be the arrogant general. If he is warm and attentive to you... You should be careful."
Huai Qiugong's words were like a flash of lightning that suddenly exploded in Fang Xie's mind, which made his heart shrink fiercely.
Fang Xie suddenly made waves in his heart, but there was no change on his face: "The senior general is too polite. When I talked with general ye, I said that this place is remote and the people's hearts have not been completely domesticated. Looting is forbidden in the hinterland of the Central Plains. People's greed and evil can not be suppressed by the law of the imperial court. It is impossible to be pure and evil anywhere, otherwise Dali Temple of the Ministry of punishment will be useless. Before my lower official went to Beijing, he was also a small border army Pawn, I don't remember how many bandits I've seen. Compared with fan Gu in the northwest, the general's rule is much more peaceful. "
Luo Yao shook his head. "You can say that, but you can't do that."
He looked at Ye Jinnan and asked, "what did you ask?"
Ye Jinnan leaned down: "Report to the senior general, anlai county magistrate sun maocai, county mayor Li heikai and the assassins who assassinated the Imperial Envoys are not related. 126 people, including anlai County constable and bailiff, are not related to the assassins. The relatives and subordinates related to these people have also sent people to interrogate them all night, a total of 1012 people, which are not related to the assassins. The soldiers blocked the official Road 200 miles around anlai county. Last night They caught two people day and night. They didn't lead the way. They looked suspicious. After their subordinates' sudden trial, they confessed that they were both believers of Ruyi religion... The assassination of the imperial envoy was planned by fugitives chasing businessmen. "
"What is the purpose?"
Luo Yao asked calmly.
"The purpose... Is for you, the general. The two men were afraid when they assassinated the imperial envoy, so they didn't do it. According to their confession, it was fugitives chasing businessmen who plotted to assassinate the imperial envoy, trying to arouse the censure of the imperial court and force the general to leave Yongzhou..."
In this case, ye Jinnan seems to have no scruples when he speaks in front of Fang Xie.
After hearing this, Luo Yao just nodded slightly, remained silent for a while and said, "such an idiot can inspire a group of idiots... The people are stupid. It seems that this is true."
……
……
Fangxie temporary residence
Ye Jinnan sent someone to put two chairs in the first place in the living room to show each other's respect. Luo Yao sat down on the left, then pointed to the chair beside him and asked Fang Xie to sit down. Fang Xie didn't refuse, so he sat down and thanked him.
Luo Yao waved his hand and signaled his followers to withdraw. The people around him left only Ye Jinnan and Yuan Fucheng, while Fang Xie left only mu Xiaoyao and Shen qingfan.
From beginning to end, Luo Yao didn't see them at all.
Instead, Shen qingfan looked at Luo Yao from time to time, and there was a faint sense of doubt in his eyes.
"Are you seventeen this year?"
After a moment of silence, Luo Yao suddenly asked.
Fang Xie nodded and said, "if there is no accident, I should be 17 years old. My life experience is a little strange. I have been running around since I was a child. People around me don't know how old I am."
He looked at Mu Xiaoyao and said: "Sister Yao picked me up as my birthday when she grew up with me. When she and sister qingfan saw that I was abandoned, they took good care of me. Even my name was negotiated by them. Because they expected me to be a decent person, they took my surname as Fang. Because I didn't know my background, they couldn't solve it, so they named me Xie. The word Jue Xiao is the same Meaning. "
"Oh?"
Luo Yao sighed and said, "I didn't expect your life experience to be so strange, but you have achieved this at your age. His journey is unlimited. If you abandon what your parents know, you will regret it."
Fang Xie said that on purpose. Half of what he said was true and half false. He just wanted to test Luo Yao's reaction, but after he said it, he found that he still underestimated Luo Yao. There was no change in this man's face, and even his eyes didn't flicker. It seems that Fang's explanation has nothing to do with him.
"Maybe..."
Fang Xie smiled and said: "Fortunately, though it was hard, I survived. Some people said that God did not dislike or love people, so it would give everyone opportunities and setbacks. Those who failed to seize the opportunities were doomed to mediocrity, and those who failed to overcome the setbacks turned into dead bones. I was lucky. After I arrived in Chang'an City, I was appreciated by your majesty, and life was stable."
Luo Yao said, "there's some truth in this remark... Read it carefully. It's true that everyone will have a chance to make a fortune in his life. But some people are afraid that some people are lazy and others are stupid, so they can't grasp it. Your achievements today can't be attributed to luck, or because of your intention."
"General Xie."
Fang Xie nodded his head slightly.
Luo Yao shook his head: "It has been more than 100 years since the founding of the Sui Dynasty. No one of your age has ever been able to patrol on behalf of the emperor. You are the second excellent person in the nine martial arts academy in the Sui Dynasty. You are the first person who was promoted by your majesty before leaving the martial arts academy. You are still the youngest imperial envoy. You are younger than when Shang Shuhuai, the former Minister of rites, went on his first tour ... I never believe that a person's success is entirely based on luck, and you don't have to be too modest. "
He seemed to have some emotion and slightly relaxed his mouth: "luck can make people achieve temporary results, but it can't be worry free for a lifetime. Since the army, we have never fought a war by luck."
Fang Xie hugged his fist and said, "the great general's military power is invincible in the world."
"This is a lie. No one is really invincible."
Luo Yao waved his hand and didn't seem to want to continue on this topic. He turned to Ye Jinnan and asked, "where are the anlai county magistrate and others detained?"
"County yamen prison. Other family members and relatives are detained in their homes."
"Trying to assassinate Imperial Envoys is a capital crime of copying the family and destroying the ancestors. If it is not for the negligence of officials, it should be avoided, so it is also a capital crime. I can't control other places, but someone in Yongzhou who violates the law naturally can't tolerate it, especially my people. Such a crime may only be dismissed in other places, but not in the southwest. If you make a mistake, you should be severely punished, not any kind of mistake To give them a chance to change. Only by punishing them openly can others remember. "
"Dereliction of duty is the same crime as assassination. Since it is the same crime, the family member is an accomplice."
Ye Jinnan hugged his fist and said, "my subordinates understand!"
He answered, then turned and strode out.
Luo Yao got up, looked at Fang Xie and asked faintly, "do you want to see the murder? There has not been a case of killing thousands of people in Pingshang road for several years. The scene may be more bloody, but only in this way can you wake up the living people. If Xiao Fang doesn't want to see thousands of people killed, just wait here."
"I still won't go."
Fang Xie shook his head, looked at Luo Yao and said in a flat tone: "but it's not because I'm afraid I can't kill. The scene of 1000 people being killed will really be bloody and shocking. Some people can't see it once in their life... But before I came out of Chang'an, I just saw the emperor's order to cut 36000 heads."
He looked at Luo Yao, smiled and said, "the scene was bigger."
