Chapter 347

Chu's laughter and cooking for Fang Xie all seem a little stiff. Fang Xie can see from this that she hasn't got along with anyone like this for a long time, including her son Luo Wen. If she got along with her family like an ordinary mother, it would not be like this.

Fang Xie thought that Chu's invitation to dinner was just a matter of etiquette. After all, she is Luo Yao's first wife and a first-class Gao Ming's wife. It is necessary to invite the imperial envoy to dinner. But after entering the small courtyard, Fang Xie found that it was completely different from his expectation. What is the official meaning of the nature of Chu's family dinner?

Chu Shi seemed a little cramped, so did Fang Xie.

"It's my birthday in a few days. You... Lord Fang, if you're free, come and have fun."

After a moment of silence, Chu said softly.

Fang Xie quickly put down the dishes and chopsticks: "madam, I'm naturally coming for my birthday. It's really impolite. I didn't know it until today."

"It's okay"

Chu got up and poured a cup of tea for Fang Xie: "I heard the general mention that Xiao Fang had many ups and downs when he was young. If Xiao Fang had nothing else to deal with today, could you tell me?"

Fang Xie was stunned for a moment. It's hard to refuse. He picked up his escape career in the past ten years and said a few things that didn't matter. When Chu asked, he knew his life experience. Fang Xie just shook his head and said he didn't know and didn't talk deeply. When Fang Xie finished talking about these things, the food on the table was already cold. Chu was so absorbed that he didn't find it impolite to ask the other party to say this before the guests finished eating.

As a lady of the principality, even if she doesn't often see guests, such impoliteness should not appear.

"Did you go out to kill thieves every day during your three years as a border army in fan Gu?"

If a young girl asks this, Fang Xie will be very interested and even exaggerate. After all, such experience is one of the capital that men can show off, and what girls like most is the legend of heroes. With fangxie's eloquence, they can shape themselves into an unparalleled hero.

But he's really not interested in Chu.

So Fang Xie just shook his head slightly: "no, in the first year, there were many mountain bandits and horse thieves near the border city, most of them were wandering herdsmen who violated the rules and were expelled from the tribe in Mengyuan, as well as some Jianghu scum in the Sui Dynasty. Most of them were killed by us in the first year, but few in the second year. In the third year, those horse thieves basically didn't dare to get close to fan Gu."

"Oh... Have you been hurt?"

Chu asked.

Fang Xie nodded: "no one born in the border army has been hurt. If there are few scars on his body, he will be looked down upon by his colleagues. Just like the wolves on the grassland, the male wolves with no gaps in their ears will be looked down upon by other wolves, because it proves that they have never bitten with other wolves and are cowards."

Fang Xie felt a little disappointed when he said this, because although he was not a coward in fan Gu's time, he really rarely fought with the horse thieves face to face. Most of the time, he hid in the dark and hurt people with bows and arrows. At that time, he didn't even want to kill himself. It was only two years ago. Now he has changed a lot.

"Can I see the scars on you?"

Hearing Chu's question, Fang Xie's face obviously changed.

If it is impolite to say that Chu served tea without waiting for the guests to finish eating just now, then this sentence is very impolite. Although the great Sui Dynasty was not the kind of country that advocated the incompatibility between men and women, it was obviously inappropriate to ask guests to take off their clothes and look at his scars.

Fang Xie was stunned and subconsciously looked at Chu.

Chu suddenly explained, "I just happen to have some good wound medicine in my hand. After a month or two, the scar will fade."

Fang Xie said, "thank you, madam, but the scars on men are not ugly to me."

"Yes..."

Chu murmured, "that's what the general said. He said that the scars on soldiers are a symbol of glory."

Fang Xie, um, said nothing. His mind was full of questions. Although he didn't know what kind of person Chu was at ordinary times, according to the analysis of the news from the call, she should never show up now. Chu Shi saw him bow his head and drink tea. He knew that what he had just said was wrong and it was not good to say anything.

After sitting there for a moment, I broke my body and said goodbye.

Chu didn't stay any longer and personally sent Fang Xie out of the yard. When passing the big locust tree, Fang Xie still couldn't adapt to the existence of those dolls.

After coming out of the courtyard, Fang Xie went out under the guidance of the servants of the general's house. At this time, it was already dark. When Fang Xie passed by the small lake, he found that the lights in the three story tall building on the other side were already on. It seemed that Luo Yao had returned. However, since he didn't come out to meet him, Fang Xie didn't intend to see him.

When he left the general's house, Fang Xie saw that the carriage driven by Nie Xiaoju was waiting outside.

……

……

Back to his residence, Fang Xie asked Nie Xiaoju to invite Zhuo Buyi to take a bath and change his clothes. When he came out, Zhuo Buyi leaned heavily and bathed his waist. They were already waiting in the living room. Fang Xie asked Nie Xiaoju, Yan Kuang and Chen Xiaoru to stay outside, and even arranged hands on the roof.

"Sir, I have to ask your men to check a few things. Now the people in my hands are in the open, and every move is watched by Luo Yao's people. Big dog and Kirin are arranged by me to do other things, and they can't come back for a while."

Zhuo Buyi didn't know that he had ten elite outside the palace, and Fang Xie wouldn't take the initiative to say it.

"Now your people are the only ones we can use secretly."

"What's up?"

Zhuo Buyi saw what he said solemnly, sat up and asked.

"The first important thing is to find out where the monk named Shi Yuan is. He must be in Yongzhou City. From the fact that he found two women to have sex in a short time on the way, he can't hide in one place. The brothel in Yongzhou City is the first target. He is bald. Even when he goes to the brothel, he won't easily take off his hat, As long as he goes to the brothel, it's not difficult to find out. Then we have to check whether there are any women missing in the city recently. If so, we should find out where people are missing. "

"Well, I've arranged for someone to watch."

Zhuo Buyi nodded.

"The second thing..."

Fang Xie looked outside and said in a low voice: "Send someone to check carefully how many children have disappeared every year since Luo Yao stationed in the southwest and lived in Yongzhou in the past 20 years. It should not be difficult to check these things, ranging from full moon children to three-year-old boys. In addition, go to a place called Suji Mingwu shop, which specializes in the business of the dead. This shop should have something to do with Luo Yao's house. Today What I heard from Luo Yao's house was a direction. "

Zhuo Buyi nodded: "I'll tell you this. The people in the bodyguard's office are far more than those I brought in Yongzhou. The second thing is that these two things are not too difficult to check. You can get some information about the missing child as long as you talk to someone at any snack stand in the street. As for the shop, you can find it as long as it exists."

"But..."

Zhuo Buyi asked, "what does these two things have to do with Luo Yao?"

"I'll explain later. Let's talk about the third thing first."

Fang Xie looked at Zhuo Buyi and asked, "how many accomplishments is Luo Wen?"

Zhuo Buyi said, "what's wrong with the seven products recorded in the Imperial Guard Office?"

Fang Xie asked again, "from the cultivation accomplishments you have recovered now, can you dig something out of the brain of a seven grade practitioner with mind reading?"

"It's too difficult for you to start from Luo Wen. This is Yongzhou!"

Zhuo Buyi frowned and said, "it's not difficult to spy on the mind of a seven grade martial artist with my restored cultivation. But you can't find a chance in Yongzhou City."

"Luo Wen is not in the city. He went to cangman mountain."

Fang Xie said, "Luo Yao's wife Chu's birthday will be in a few days. Luo Wen is a filial son. He goes to a place called luhoudong in cangman mountain to find something strange as a birthday gift to his mother. Although Luo Wen is accompanied by a team of armour men and the old man with a refined steel sword box, it is a relatively good opportunity."

"If you can do it now, we need to go to cangman mountain."

Zhuo Buyi shook his head: "now our every move in Yongzhou City has been watched by people. As long as you go out of the city, you can hide it from people wherever you go? I'm afraid Luo Yao has brought people here before you can do it."

"Fraud"

Fang Xie smiled: "When I was in the imperial capital, I always thought it was a good thing since I found that Wu and I had many masks, so I asked Wu and I to find someone to make some for me. Now it happens that we can use them. If we do it, find someone similar to me and take the guard around the beautiful landscape outside the city every day. Can't you, me, Chen hum and Chen ha deal with it A team of warriors, a guard carrying a sword box? "

"If you say so, it's still a little risky."

Zhuo Buyi hesitated and said, "but it's a rare opportunity. Since you've thought it over, I'll follow you. Anyway, if you want to die, you won't die later than me."

Fang Xie left: "at least you are also an elder of Wulin. You can't speak with a little tolerance?"

"Any bearing with you is worthless."

Zhuo Buyi glared at him: "just now you asked me to send someone to check the missing children in the past 20 years, and why is that Suji shop?"

Fang Xie was silent for a moment, and then took a long sigh of relief: "do you know that someone in the world can make dolls no different from real people? Even black and white eyes, eyelashes, teeth and even pores on the skin can be made?"

"It's hard. This skin mask is different. It's just a face. It's not easy to be the same as a real person. Moreover, it's impossible to make eyelashes and eyebrows on the mask. The corresponding places are holes. When sticking it, the eyebrows and eyelashes that show up are people's own, not on the mask."

"So..."

Fang Xie shook his head: "Now I'm still afraid and I'm going to have a nightmare tonight... Although I was afraid, disgusting and pretending at that time, I still looked at it secretly and carefully. I was frightened because I didn't believe that the world now has technology to make dolls so realistic. Because she is a high-quality lady, no one will doubt what she said, but it happened that Meet someone like me who doesn't believe her. "

"If... Nothing happens, the dolls hanging on the big locust tree in her yard are all real children. It happened that today I learned another thing from her servant girl... The he people have a secret method that can keep people's heads from rotting for many years, and it is not difficult for a wise wizard to ensure that a corpse will not rotting for decades. I can turn a living person into a corpse by poison Zombies are invulnerable. It's too easy for them to save their bodies. What's more... There is no shortage of such a clever wizard in Luo Yao's house. "
