Du Mu closed the door outside the camp of the black flag army. Not out of his own expectation, Fang Xie, commander of the black flag army, didn't even mean to see him. In fact, he thought of it since he left the city. Any negotiation must have two preconditions. First, both sides can benefit from the negotiations. Second, both sides have capital that can threaten each other.
Du Mu was able to persuade other city owners to protect Jin'an because he met these two conditions.
But facing the black flag army, he had no confidence at all. The other party's strong troops are outside the city. At this time, the other party may not be interested in talking about anything else except opening the door and surrender immediately. Tens of thousands of black flag troops spit on the city gate in turn, which can disgust the soldiers guarding the gate.
After standing outside the black flag army camp for a while, he could only sigh deeply and then turn back. As for what Fang Xie asked people to tell him, it was a joke. There were 20000 lotus leaf chickens in two days, and the other party was just having fun.
There is a small river not far from the north of Jin'an city. The widest place is less than four meters and the narrowest place is about two meters. People who are a little more flexible can jump over it in one jump. There is a wooden bridge on the river. It has been for many months. It looks shaky and may collapse at any time.
Wooden bridges and flowing water are weeping willows on both sides. Although the river bridge is broken, it still looks different. If those poets who are full of coquettish feelings all over see it, they will sing a few colorful words.
The river doesn't even have a name, but there are many fish in the river. If there were no black flag army, many people in the city would fish by the river.
Du Mu walked back with two attendants looking depressed. Du Mu had been thinking about how to complete Ning Hao's explanation. But no matter what you think, you are not sure at all.
When he was near the river, he suddenly smelled a smell and looked forward. He saw a young childe in white fishing by the river, with a fishing rod beside him, a wild fire and a fat catfish. The fragrance floated from there, which made people's appetite increase greatly.
Because of curiosity, Du Mu couldn't help looking at the young man in white carefully. Because he can't see his face from his back, but it can be seen from his dress that he is not old. Occasionally, when turning over the grilled fish, the lines of the side face were beautiful without any defects.
The clothes on his body are expensive, and the wine bag beside him looks just ordinary, but it is inlaid with a gem the size of a pigeon's egg, which is by no means ordinary. The human eyes of the brilliance thorn reflected in the sun are a little sore.
Jin'an city is not big. Du Mu, who has status in the city, knows all the people. Therefore, he is sure that this young childe is not a native of Jin'an. At this time, he dares to fish safely under the iron hoof of the black flag army. Naturally, he is not a mortal.
"You go back first."
Du Mu gave an order. He didn't know why. He just wanted to say a few words to the childe.
Maybe it's because the grilled fish is too sweet, or maybe it's because the childe is too busy.
"I've been harassing you. Since then, I can't move after passing by and smelling the fish fragrance. I hope you don't blame me."
Du Mu leaned forward to salute.
The young man in white didn't look back. His voice was very soft and said, "meeting is fate. Besides, the water here is beautiful and the fish is fat. I can't eat many of them alone. Please sit down."
Du Mu was not polite either. He sat down opposite the young man in white. He was curious about the young man's origin and appearance in the distance, but after sitting down, Du Mu was embarrassed and didn't know how to speak. For a person who is good at eloquence, this is really incredible.
Du Mu forced himself to meditate, and then he determined that it was because the young childe's bearing was really too pressing, so he didn't dare to speak. Especially when he sat face to face, he dared not look at the childe's appearance. Du Mu is not a person who has never seen the world. At least he has seen many city leaders in Nanyan. He can feel that kind of high momentum in those big people. But this young childe is different.
Obviously, I feel that this person is very gentle and natural, but I feel that I am separated from him by the whole world.
Out of reach.
The bearing of the young childe is neither domineering nor noble and beautiful. Du Mu can't explain clearly and can't understand. The only thing he knows is the word distance.
"Where are you from, sir?"
Du Mu hesitated for a while before asking.
"Forget"
Childe in White's answer was very simple, but it was not perfunctory, because he really thought carefully before answering: "I like drifting by nature. Where the scenery is attractive, I will linger and stop. Whether it is the magnificent beauty of mountains and rivers or the Jasper beauty of small bridges and flowing water, I can always stop. But when I go to a place immediately, I forget what it looks like or even what its name is."
Du Mu was stunned and said in his heart how could there be such a person?
"Are you from this city?"
Asked the young man in white.
"Yes"
Du Mu nodded: "I grew up in Jin'an since I was a child."
"Well, why don't you go?"
Young master in white continued to ask.
"Reluctant"
Du Mu replied.
"OK"
The young man in white nodded: "as long as people are reluctant to give up, they are not villains."
"What are you doing here, sir?"
Asked Du Mu.
"Come and see a villain... They say he is a villain. If they don't see it with their own eyes or believe it. Many people in the world are called villains, but few can really stand the word villain."
Du Mu felt moved and felt that he knew who he was talking about. So he couldn't help looking back at the camp of the black flag army, but found a black-and-white shadow coming in a flash like lightning. His heart began to jump wildly involuntarily, and he was suddenly surprised that he was very likely to be involved in something important. At this moment, he felt that he was dead. His soul was floating here, waiting for the upcoming story.
……
……
The white lion stopped by the river and squinted at the young man in white fishing. His eyes seemed puzzled, and he didn't seem to be sure of his judgment. It stopped at a distance from the river, then looked at it from a distance and paced back and forth uneasily.
Fang Xie came down from the white lion's back and touched his forehead gently. The white lion looked up at him, and Fang Xie picked up the corners of his mouth and smiled.
"Stay here"
He said, and then walked to the river.
Du Mu had never seen Fang Xie, but he knew who the man was when he saw the white lion and the iconic black robe. So his heart, which had already jumped almost out of his throat, became more excited, so that he even found it difficult to breathe.
The young master opposite him was dressed in white as snow, while Fang Xie's black robe was like ink.
These two people, if seen alone, are young men who are as rich as jade, but they look so clear together.
"A little more honey."
This is the first sentence of Fang Xie.
The young man in white couldn't help smiling, then pointed to the grass around him: "please sit down."
Fang Xie sat down cross legged and naturally stretched out his hand to turn over and roast the fish. Du Mu sat beside the two people. He always felt like the drop of ink accidentally dropped in the perfect painting carefully painted by a big hand, which seemed so redundant and completely destroyed the artistic conception of the painting.
If there are only two people in this painting, black and white, it is perfect.
So he shut up, looked down, didn't look, didn't say.
Try to minimize his influence on this artistic conception, but he couldn't stop his heart beating wildly. He doesn't know who the young man in white is, but since he can sit face to face with Fang Xie, it shows that the origin of this man must be amazing.
Fang Xie didn't know who the young man in white was. When he was about to rest in the military camp, the white lion suddenly became anxious and looked to the South on guard. Fang Xie knows the ability of the white lion. Even in the face of the overhaul walker, the white lion will not be afraid, because it has unparalleled speed and can get out of any danger. But Fang Xie can see that the white lion's reaction is a little afraid and worried.
If it could not threaten the safety of the white lion, how could it be so upset?
Therefore, Fang Xie knew that there must be some great people coming.
It's been a long time since I went south.
Seeing that the fish was ripe, Fang Xie took it down and handed it to Du Mu: "are you Du Mu in Jin'an city?"
Du Mu quickly saluted: "it's me. I've seen my father."
"You are well informed."
Fang Xie smiled, picked up the second fish in the bucket and began to scale. Du Mu quickly smiled and said, "since you have a request from the Lord, you should understand the Lord first."
"What a rough way"
The young man in white looked at Fang Xie and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing: "removing the scales like this will destroy the fish skin and hurt the meat quality. No matter how strong the roasting technique is, it will inevitably damage the taste."
Fang Xie's gold spirit was looming. He soon cleaned up a fish. The young man in White said, "what a waste!"
Fang Xie glanced at him: "good affectation."
Young master in white was slightly stunned, looked at Fang Xie and asked, "why do you say hypocritical?"
Fang Xie said calmly, "you say I'm rough, and you say I waste my internal strength. Isn't that hypocritical? No matter how badly the fish is damaged, it's still fish, and it can't be smelled of shit. Cultivating internal strength is for convenience, so whether it's used to kill or clean up the fish, it's all about things to do their best, so you're hypocritical."
The young man in white smiled: "you are really a villain."
Fang Xie didn't deny it. He turned to Du Mu and said, "wait in my camp. You should be dead today. It's a great fortune that you can't keep you useful."
The young man in White asked, "how did you know I would kill him?"
Du Mu immediately got up and ran north without even looking back.
"No"
Fang Xie shook his head: "if he doesn't go again, I'll kill him."
……
……
Childe in white looked at the ripples bouncing around on the water, but he didn't finish. Fang Xie did not continue to roast the second fish, looking dignified.
"Since you are afraid, why do you come?"
Asked the young man in white.
Fang Xie said: "curiosity is like eating spicy food. I know that I will be constipated the next day, but I still can't help it."
Childe in white didn't seem to care about the vulgarity in Fang Jie's words. He shook his head: "I'm addicted to spicy food. I can't pull shit at most. I'm curious that addiction may die."
"Well"
Fang Xie looked at him and said seriously, "although I don't know who you are or where you came from, I've been holding back from saying... Will you die if you don't pretend? You obviously led me here, and now you pretend to be mysterious. It's very disgusting, really."
The young master in white still didn't get angry, but smiled: "you're wrong... I didn't pretend. I'm really unpredictable."
He looked back at the white lion chaos, and then looked at Fang Xie: "aren't you pretending too? It looks like you came alone, but in fact six came."
"I didn't pretend."
Fang Xie said, "if there were more experts around me, I would have more, six... Really not many."
The young master in white couldn't help pointing to the North: "it's enough to take six experts. At least 500 people are ready at any time with fire extinguishers in their hands. Do you think that kind of thing is useful? It's just that 500 soldiers are waiting. Unexpectedly, there are at least thousands of iron cavalry waiting. A round of feather arrows can plug the river... How afraid of death are you?"
Fang Jieli said of course, "I am such a decisive man."
