Fang Xie went to Luo Yao for a showdown twice, both on the same day. After returning from cangman mountain, he determined that Luo Yao was the one who arranged everything in those years. He and Mu Xiaoyao said that they would simply go directly to Luo Yao and ask for clarification. When this matter had not been discussed, Cui Zhongzhen came. Fang Xie didn't sleep well all night. The news brought by Cui Zhongzhen has a relatively small impact. What really makes him toss and turn is his relationship with Luo Yao.
In the evening, Cui Zhongzhen arranged for someone to rush back to the northwest and lived in. The two drank until the early morning. Fang Xie inquired about the war in the northwest in detail. The scene from Cui Zhongzhen's mouth was the most intuitive and shocking. Cui Zhongzhen watched the big defeat happen, but his plain narration was even more touching.
Fang Xie can imagine the bloody scene and the last-minute determination and despair of the soldiers in the great Sui Dynasty.
Hundreds of thousands of elite died in the northwest because of Li Yuanshan's rebellion. I'm afraid I can still see dead bodies on the grassland for two thousand miles. Although the pagoda piled up with heads has collapsed, it seems that the pagoda has been pressed in the hearts of everyone who survived.
Including Cui Zhongzhen.
The man finally drank too much wine and burst into tears, but Fang Xie didn't even know where to start.
The enemy's horses trod over the corpses of their fellow soldiers, and what stirred up was not dust and smoke, but meat and mud. How many ambitious men of the great Sui Dynasty died like this. At the moment they fell, they may still look back to the East and expect to see their homes. There are their parents and their villagers.
Settle down drunk Cui Zhongzhen and go back to his room to solve his difficulty in sleeping. When it was almost dawn, I barely slept for a while, but when I fell asleep, I began to dream. For a moment, I dreamed that Luo Yao gave himself in his swaddling clothes to Mu Xiaoyao, and his hands were still stained with the blood of Shen qingfan's fellow door. After a while, I dreamed that Li Yuanshan was standing in front of the Mongolian cavalry with a ferocious smile, but the bodies lying on the ground were fan Gu's colleagues and people.
Even if you don't sleep well, Fang Xie still gets up on time to practice. Recently, he has become more and more skilled in controlling the vitality of heaven and earth. Although the vitality he can control is still very weak, it is undeniable that he has made a qualitative leap.
Sweating all over, when he was ready to go back to his room to wash, Chen Xiaoru quickly came to find him.
"My Lord, Luo Yao sent someone. It's Ye Jinnan."
"What's up?"
"Ye Jinnan refused to say. He took a team of elite warriors and only said that he had something important to see you."
Fang Xie said, "let him wait for me in the living room."
Fang Xie went back and changed his clothes. When he arrived in the living room, he found that ye Jinnan was wearing an armor. Outside the door, dozens of warriors stood on both sides of the corridor. This posture was somewhat unusual. Fang Xie thought of Cui Zhongzhen in an instant.
"I've seen Mr. Fang."
Seeing Fang Xie's arrival, ye Jinnan quickly hugged his fist and saluted.
"General ye came to me so early, but what's important?"
"By the order of the great general, please come to the great general's house to discuss matters with some colleagues from the northwest."
Although Fang Xie had a hunch, he couldn't help being surprised. Cui Zhongzhen and his wife arrived yesterday, and they didn't see Luo Yao. They didn't even reveal their identity. But the next morning, Luo Yao sent someone to invite him. It has to be said that Luo Yao's control over Yongzhou has reached a frightening level.
"The general knows very quickly."
Fang Xie knew he couldn't hide it and simply admitted it directly.
Yejin South Road: "When they entered the city, the officers and soldiers guarding the gate saw that they were not ordinary people. The soldiers always had a different temperament. Especially the people who had just come down from the battlefield would keep alert even when they walked. Their customs clearance certificate was issued by Huang Yangdao. Although the official certificate was used, check the weapons they were carrying. Go on The steel seal hit by the surface can't be hidden. "
"There are left leading guards and left Xiaowei..."
Fang Xie realized that Cui Zhongzhen and his colleagues were qualified soldiers, but they were far less secure than the secret agent of the Imperial Guard. If the Imperial Guard did this, it would be impossible to find any clues. They even forgot to hide the steel seal on the weapon. It can only be said that Cui Zhongzhen and his colleagues were in a hurry.
"People are still sleeping. Please wait a moment, general Ye."
Fang Xie asked Ye Jinnan to sit down and poured tea himself: "since the senior general already knows, can I take the liberty to ask, what does the senior general think of the war in the northwest?"
Now, there's no need to hide.
Ye Jinnan didn't expect Fang Xie to ask so plainly. After a moment of silence, he said seriously, "we are the knives in the hands of the great general, and the great general is the knives in the hands of his majesty. As long as the imperial court's will comes down, the great general will lead the army north. As a soldier, it is naturally incumbent on him to suppress the rebellion for the country."
"Last night I talked with people from the Northwest for a long time..."
Fang Xie sighed and said, "I'll go with you later, because the visitor is an old friend I knew before I entered the martial arts academy, so he knew I came to me first in the city, and I'm going to sue the general."
"Good."
Ye Jinnan nodded, took a sip of tea and suddenly said, "after arriving at the general's house, if there is anything that makes little Fang dissatisfied, please restrain yourself. There are other guests in the general's house today. If you meet with little Fang, you may be unhappy. Please look at my thin face and try not to get angry."
"Who?"
Fang Xie asked.
Ye Jinnan hesitated for a moment, but shook his head: "when you arrive at the general's house, Xiaofang will naturally know."
After hearing this sentence, Fang Xie smiled and said, "all the guests at the general's house are guests. I'm also a guest. How can I be presumptuous? General Ye rest assured that I won't talk and do anything in Yongzhou City by relying on my identity as an imperial envoy."
He got up and went to the door and ordered people to invite Cui Zhongzhen. Then he whispered to the black boy Yan Kuang, "go out and take the flying fish robe to cheer them up, and then tell Miss Mu to take my Chaolu knife!"
……
……
When Fang Xie and others arrived at the general's residence, they saw several people standing outside the three-story high-rise building opposite the small lake from a distance. Looking at their clothes, they also seemed to be soldiers of the big Sui Dynasty. They paced back and forth. Obviously, they were also in a hurry. Fang Xie didn't see anything, but Cui Zhongzhen immediately blushed.
"Rebels!"
His footsteps stopped fiercely and pointed to the opposite side of the small lake: "general ye, what's the matter? I didn't expect to see the rebels in the left avant-garde general's house! Either you killed me today, or you have to give me an explanation! We fought hard to kill thieves in the Northwest. When we arrived in Yongzhou, the thieves became general Luo's guests!"
Ye Jinnan's face was not good-looking. Shan Shan smiled and explained, "they didn't say who they were when they came. They only said that they were the old friend of the general... Well, the general didn't know their details."
Fang Xie also stopped, looked at the people opposite and smiled coldly: "general ye said to let me go to the general's house and don't fool around. That's why?"
Ye Jinnan was embarrassed and didn't know how to explain it.
"Since the rebels are the guests of the general, we don't have to stay."
Cui Zhongzhen hugged Ye Jinnan and said, "leave now. Please tell the general that we are waiting for the general in the northwest battlefield!"
This pun made Ye Jinnan blush even more. He was not familiar with Cui Zhongzhen, so he had to ask Fang Xie for help: "little Fang, you know that the top general will never be rebellious. When the top general sees that they must have the truth of the top general, please advise general Cui. He will say it when he meets the top general later."
Fang Xie sneered: "in what capacity should I persuade him? A friend of the general, an imperial envoy sent by your majesty to Yongzhou, or a people of the Sui Dynasty?"
Cui Zhongzhen said coldly, "let's go."
Fang Xie waved: "go? Let the rebels run us away. I can't afford to lose this man. It's still on the ground of the great Sui Dynasty. It's said that I met the rebels and hid away. I'm afraid I'll be scolded and bend my spine!"
With these words, he strode to the three storey high-rise building in Luoyao. Ye Jinnan wanted to stop, but it was hard to start, so he had to follow behind and persuade him while walking.
"Lord Fang, you should trust the general!"
Fang Xie did not speak, and his steps were faster and faster.
Cui Zhongzhen followed him, holding the handle of the horizontal knife tightly at his waist. Dozens of guards in the imperial guards' office wearing Royal Flying Fish robes followed, and the bright red cloak fluttered in the wind. Shen tilts the fan and walks with his hands on his back. He bathes his waist and embraces the Chaolu knife.
"Who, stop!"
When he reached the front of the high-rise building, several warriors came out to stop him immediately. Fang Xie glanced at them: "if you dare to kill me, draw a knife. If you dare not kill me, get away."
These words stunned the guards and subconsciously looked at Ye Jinnan. Ye Jinnan shook his head, and the warriors immediately withdrew.
When Fang Xie passed the rebels, he glanced coldly and found that they were still wearing the standard leather armor of the great Sui Dynasty, but the clothes inside were changed into khaki. The uniform of the Sui army is dark blue. No wonder Cui Zhongzhen can see that they are rebels at a glance.
Those rebel soldiers didn't know Fang Xie. He looked a little hairy and subconsciously stepped back. Fang Xie quickly walked into the tall building. The silver armor warrior in the dark was stopped by Ye Jinnan and didn't show up. When several people entered the room, they saw a rebel general standing in the open door, whispering something, with a smile on his face.
Fang Xie walked in and took a look at Luo Yao sitting behind the desk.
Luo Yao frowned slightly. What he disliked most was that someone entered his study without permission. But he did not attack, but stood up and smiled and said, "Lord Xiao Fang came just in time. This is general Wu from the northwest."
He also said to the general Wu, "the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court to Yongzhou, Fang Xie."
"Fang Xie?"
The rebel general surnamed Wu looked at Fang Xie, his face became a little ugly, but he still hugged his fist and said, "I've heard a lot about you. Lord Wu, our governor, often mentioned you."
"Wu Peizhi?"
Fang Xie asked.
The general surnamed Wu was a little unhappy: "it's taboo to call my governor directly. Is it impolite for Mr. Fang?"
"There are more impolite."
Fang Xie smiled. Suddenly, he rushed up at his feet and hit general Wu's face. The punch was so abrupt and powerful that ye Jinnan, who stood beside him, slowed down a beat to stop it. The general surnamed Wu is the nephew of Wu Peizhi, governor of Hebei Province. He doesn't know any martial arts. He didn't expect Fang Xie to start when he met. One of them was smashed his nose. This punch was like overturning a soy sauce bottle on his face, and the blood gushing from his nose immediately stained his face.
With a bang, the general surnamed Wu fell to the ground.
"Xiao Fang, what's your attitude?"
Luo Yao, standing behind the desk with his hands on his back, asked coldly.
"Here comes the knife!"
As soon as Fang Xie stretched out his hand, Mu Xiaoyao immediately handed Chaolu Dao. He stepped forward and cut off the head of the general surnamed Wu with a knife. As soon as his wrist turned over, the knife pierced the landing head and slowly raised it.
He looked at Luo Yao and said word by word, "that's the attitude!"
