Blood trickled down the wooden floor of the study along the Chaolu knife, and soon accumulated a Wang. The Chaolu Dao is cold and does not drip blood. There is a shallow trace where the blood flows on the blade, which is due to the flow of water vapor outside the blade.
The general surnamed Wu hung a good head on the tip of the knife and died in peace.
Fang Xie's tone was colder than the cold on Chaolu's knife. He looked straight at Luo Yao without a trace of concession.
"That's the attitude!"
resolute and decisive.
Luo Yao also looked at him coldly. Although his face didn't change, Fang Xie could feel his anger. The two people's eyes confronted each other for a long time. Finally, Luo Yao sighed and took the lead in moving his eyes away. He glanced at the rebels outside through the window and waved his hand at will.
Ye Jinnan immediately understood what he meant. He stood at the door and shouted outside. He took them all.
For a moment, several warriors in silver armor appeared from the dark. They didn't see how they shot. In a moment, they turned the rebels to the ground. In fact, the skills of those rebels are not bad, but they don't even have a chance to fight back in front of these silver armor warriors.
After taking down the rebels, the silver armor warriors broke their limbs, threw them on the ground again and retreated. Ye Jinnan waved, and immediately a soldier came. He glanced at the soldiers underground, casually pointed to one of them and said, "let him lead the way and take all the people who came to Yongzhou with him, not only in the city, but outside the city. They must leave someone to meet them. Don't lose one."
"Here!"
The soldier answered and ordered his men to set up a rebel and go out.
Luo Yao sat down and pointed to the chair not far away. The other side explained, "sit down."
Fang Xie handed the Chaolu knife to Mu Xiaoyao, lifted his robe and sat down on the chair.
Cui Zhongzhen's hands are sweaty, and now he is a little relieved. When Luo Yao and Fang Xie looked at each other before, he even felt nervous and couldn't help shaking slightly. He was afraid that Luo Yao would order to kill in anger. At that time, Fang Xie and himself could not escape. It was at this moment that he suddenly found that he was still not as good as Fang Xie.
He thought he had matured after the purgatory in the northwest. But when he saw Luo Yao's eyes, his heart began to tremble. Those eyes were even more terrible than the horizontal knife on his neck. He had no doubt that if he looked at Luo Yao, he would have lost long ago.
"What's your name?"
Luo Yao asked Cui Zhongzhen after looking at Fang Xie with deep meaning in his eyes.
Cui Zhongzhen hugged his fist and said, "Cui Zhongzhen, a humble servant, works under the command of the king of Xujun."
"Is Prince Xu still well?"
"Go back to the great general, how are Wang Xujun."
"Well..."
Luo Yao nodded: "Talk about the war situation in Northwest China in detail as much as possible. Say what you remember and don't leave anything out. Today I don't see anyone else and don't go to the camp. I just listen to you about Northwest China. I was going to listen to it from the rebels and ask you again. The war situation in Northwest China will be clear. I'm impressed by Mr. Fang's swift and resolute action and killing the rebel general."
The irony of this remark is too strong. Fang Xie is just sneering.
Cui Zhongzhen glanced at Fang Xie, and then repeated the current situation in Northwest China. Luo Yao asked questions from time to time, and Cui Zhongzhen didn't lie and answered truthfully. His attitude made Luo Yao appreciate it, and his tone of voice became softer and softer. Cui Zhongzhen was honest and impartial. Winning is winning, losing is losing. This is the attitude of soldiers Luo Yao likes So the atmosphere in the room gradually eased down.
When Cui Zhongzhen finished, the sun was already in the middle. Luo Yao ordered people to prepare meals, and then ordered Ye Jinnan to entertain Cui Zhongzhen and others, but left Fang Xie.
"Mr. Fang, I have something else to ask later."
Shen qingfan and Mu Xiaoyao looked at each other and stood still. Fang Xie shook his head slightly to them. They walked out slowly, but refused to follow Ye Jinnan. Instead, they stood outside the tall building.
"It's so fierce."
Luo Yao smiled, picked up something on the table and threw it to Fang Xie. Fang Xie reached out to catch it and looked at it. It was a memorial. He opened it and looked at it casually. His face changed slightly. It was a memorial that Luo Yao asked the emperor to allow him to lead troops to fight the rebellion. It seemed that he had not finished writing it.
"I am the general of the great Sui Dynasty..."
Luo Yao got up, went to the window, looked outside and said calmly: "When you first arrived in Yongzhou, I told you that as long as your majesty gives an order, I will immediately put on my armor and take 400000 children of the left avant-garde to the northwest. I know you don't believe me, and I don't need to explain anything to you. Those people in the court don't believe me, and I don't need to explain anything. But if your majesty doesn't believe me, I must speak for myself."
"I have known the defeat of Northwest China for a long time, and I have long wanted to request to send troops in the last Memorial. But you should know why your majesty has delayed calling me to work for our country. Over the years, your majesty has deployed three guards in Jiangnan, not so much to defend the place as to guard against me. If I make the Lord suspicious, I should take the initiative to resign and comfort your majesty ... but who can subdue Yongzhou except me? "
When he said this, Luo Yao's domineering spirit was immediately revealed.
"Looking at the whole court, no one can subdue the southwest. Expect civil servants to convince those barbarians? Nonsense! Send other generals. Can they just kill people?"
He snorted coldly, "if your majesty hadn't known this, I wouldn't have stayed in Yongzhou for so many years."
Fang Xie was stunned. He didn't expect Luo Yao to say such a thing.
……
……
Luo Yao turned around and looked at the pool of blood on the ground: "today you started to kill, do you know why I didn't stop you?"
"I don't know"
Fang Xie shook his head.
"Because your temper is very similar to when I was young. If I were 20 years younger and the rebels found me, I would kill him immediately. Then I would send someone to send my head to the imperial capital to prove my loyalty to your majesty. But now, I won't do that again."
"Do you know why?"
He asked.
Fang Xie was silent for a while and then replied, "twenty years ago, the emperor believed in the great general. The great general killed people with a knife and sent his head to the capital. The emperor would be full of praise for the great general. Twenty years later, his majesty had doubts about the great general's heart. If the great general sent his head directly, it would make people feel that it was a move to hide their ears and steal the bell."
Luo Yao nodded: "good."
He looked at Fang Xie and said: "The reason why I waited until now is because I was afraid of these. If I just knew that the northwest was defeated, I immediately folded up and asked for war. I'm afraid your majesty is not pleased with my left avant-garde's loyalty, but angry at why I can know about the northwest so soon. He will doubt whether I have something to do with the rebels and whether I have another intention in the name of sending troops ?”
Fang Xie knew that Luo Yao was right. The emperor was really worried about Luo Yao.
"Why did the general decide to send troops now?"
He asked.
Luo Yao was silent for a moment and shook his head: "because I suddenly wanted to understand one thing... As a minister, I was worried that his Majesty would be unfaithful because he was afraid of my infidelity. I was worried that his majesty doubted whether I was trying to cheat, so I didn't dare to ask for troops. In fact, it was unfaithful."
It was a bit awkward, but Fang Jie understood what he meant.
"I didn't make up my mind at first, but after you came, I suddenly thought of a way to have the best of both worlds. You can patrol for your majesty as an imperial envoy at a young age, which shows that your majesty has no doubt about you. Therefore, I'm going to write to your majesty to appoint you as the supervisor and supervise my army to go north to kill thieves in my left avant-garde army!"
"Ah?"
This sentence completely exceeded Fang Xie's expectation. He didn't expect Luo Yao to have such a plan anyway.
Luo Yao couldn't help laughing when he saw Fang Xie's face change: "didn't you tell me you were going to wear war armor and go back to fan Gu to avenge your dead colleagues? I also told you that staying in the left avant-garde has the same chance to avenge them. Now I honor what I said to you. How about you... Give me an answer. Would you like to stay in Yongzhou?"
"Reason"
Fang Xie looked straight into Luo Yao's eyes: "don't say you think I'm a talent. There are 400000 troops in the left avant-garde, and there are many people who are better than me. You don't lack generals and talented people. I'm nothing at all."
"What about fate?"
Luo Yao asked abruptly.
"I think you are destined. When I first saw you, I thought you were close. I rarely feel this way. Is this reason all right?"
Fang Xie was stunned again, and then slowly shook his head: "No."
……
……
The atmosphere in the room was a little cold. Fang Xie couldn't bear it for several times before he suppressed the idea in his heart. He could hardly bear to ask directly what was your relationship with me. But he didn't ask in the end. Even he didn't know what it was because of, anxiety and fear.
He didn't know what he was afraid of, but he swallowed it back.
"Think about it again. I'll still write the memorial like that. I'm sure your majesty won't reject my proposal. He can rest assured to leave someone with me."
Fang Xie was noncommittal and didn't even know what to say.
"You come with me."
Luo Yao said a word after being silent for a while, and then walked out.
"Where are you going?"
Fang Xie asked.
"I want to see your way of cultivation."
Fang Xie's heart tightened and subconsciously followed Luo Yao out.
When he went out, Luo Yao looked at Shen qingfan and Mu Xiaoyao. He didn't know why he smiled: "a man is a big husband. It's not worth living with such a beauty."
Fang Xie blushed and didn't speak.
Luo Yao burst into laughter and seemed to like to see Fang Xie's embarrassment.
The two of them walked straight behind the stone path and passed a bamboo forest. There was an empty space. This was a small martial arts field. At this point, Luo Yao would no longer put 18 kinds of weapons to show his strength.
"Punch"
He stopped and the other side explained two words.
I don't know why. Fang Xie just can't afford to refuse. He took a deep breath and then punched out. With this punch, he used the way of practice he understood, called the vitality of heaven and earth outside his body, and then waved it out. With a snap, a green bamboo two meters away was cracked by the blow.
Seeing this punch, Luo Yao's eyes lit up immediately.
"Someone taught you to practice like this?"
"No"
Fang Xie shook his head: "I'm a waste of practice. My physique is not suitable for practice."
"Fart"
Luo Yao was slightly angry and suddenly punched out. The punch seemed ordinary and without momentum, but just after he punched, the bamboo forest behind Fang Xie suddenly disintegrated without wind, and a large area of bamboo forest fell directly. Fang Xie has seen arrogant internal strength, such as the repulsion of Taoist crane, a great God in red robe. Every move is like a strong wind rolling the ground. But Luo Yao's fist didn't have that kind of violent momentum, and Fang Xie didn't even feel the murderous spirit.
"There is no sea of air in me!"
Luo Yao said word by word, "but I dare say that there are no more than four people in the world who know how to use the vitality of heaven and earth better than me."
This sentence is more domineering than his boxing.
