Chapter Eighty-Eight: Two People One Person

Xiang Qingniu covered his stomach and trotted away, and soon disappeared without a trace, and he didn't know where to get into the grass to get into. Watching the fat figure fly away in sight, Fang Xie smiled and shook his head. Speaking of which, it was just a meeting with this fat man, but the fat man wanted to slander him halfway through, but he saw through it. And then walked all the way, and the two of them gaged and were happy, a little embarrassed.

Even Fang Xie didn't expect that Xiang Qingniu would be able to stand up and help him at this moment. Although Xiang Qingniu's mouth was relaxed, he must have secretly made a lot of effort to win such an opportunity for himself to turn around. It's just that people like Xiang Qingniu are afraid that they don't even bother to do and disdain to do things that are taken for granted by most people after helping a lot.

Fang Xie has never been a person who is willing to waste opportunities.

He took a deep breath, then walked slowly over to the man sitting in the center of the tea shop. When he first arrived in this world, he was not suitable for the exciting life of being hunted down, Mu Xiaoxiao once told him that if you are afraid, you should take a deep breath, and in the face of a crisis, a deep breath may bring you back to life.

Meditation, the more critical it is, the more you must be calm. Since then, Fang Xie has taken a deep breath every time he encounters a problem, which has become his habit.

Walked over and stood not far from the man, and then Fang Xie found that he was a little uncomfortable.

There was only one stool next to the table, and the man sat down. There was only a bowl of tea on the table, and the man was savoring it. I don't know what kind of taste Lu Dao's cheap tea bricks can taste, although Fang Xie doesn't know who Lu Dao is, but he can make Xiang Qingniu say that his life and death are only between this person's thoughts, and this person's status is obviously high and terrifying. Fang Xie even suspected that the height of this person had been out of the category of the stick, but the hand holding the stick.

There is only one Great Sui Supreme, and the Supreme is also a human being with only two hands. Fang Xie assumes that the height of this person can reach the level of one hand, which shows how strong the importance of this person is.

Without a stool or tea, Fang Xie could only stand and be thirsty. But there was not the slightest hint of displeasure on his face, nor was there any excessive humility.

"I've seen my predecessors"

Fang Xie clasped his fists and saluted.

The man, who couldn't tell his specific age, didn't look up, still concentrating on sipping the worthless tea. He seemed to be waiting for Fang Xie to continue, and he didn't seem to care about Fang Xie at all.

Fang Xie was silent and leaned forward slightly.

After a while, the man put down the tea bowl in his hand and said in a slightly unhappy tone, "I'm busy." ”

Fang Xie hummed, then stood up straight and said: "I don't know how Lu Dao can exonerate himself from this matter, and he can't get rid of his crimes, the people who broke into the military department at night are my people, so although I want to mention it, I can't mention it, because the people involved will make this matter more complicated, I can only say that she is worried that I will die unexpectedly, so she has to do something foolish that violates the laws of the country." But this person is very important to me, and I can't watch her die, so we have to run away. ”

The man frowned slightly, then raised his head to look at the solution: "You are wasting my time, Xiang Qingniu said that you are smart and really elevated you." ”

Fang Xie pursed his lips and said, "I can't do anything to her death, maybe in your eyes, this is the kindness of a worthless woman, and it is an idiot's idea." In fact, when I decided to flee the imperial capital, I was persuaded to abandon my companions in order to live alone. It's not that I haven't hesitated, but what I hesitated about was whether I had the ability to do my best instead of being alone. ”

"Let's go"

The man waved his hand and said, "I'm not interested in paying attention to stupid people and people who think they stick to the so-called moral bottom line." Because the latter is worse than stupidity, an idiot. Go back to your companions, and since you are so affectionate, you must be willing to die with your companions. I can do this to you, and cause you to die on the same day, the same month, and the same year. ”

Fang Xie hummed and bent down again: "Thank you." ”

He turned and walked away, without a bit of mud and water.

The man was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect Fang Xie to really leave. He didn't expect that this guy, who was called a first-class smart person by Xiang Qingniu, was unwilling to even work hard. Even if he doesn't get down on his knees and beg him to let him go, at least try to convince himself. But the boy didn't do anything, just emphasized the poor worthless so-called bottom line that he insisted on once.

"There's just a stool and a bowl of tea...... Do you feel that you are being slighted and therefore feel uncomfortable? So much so that you pretend to be very determined to show that you are not humble? ”

He asked.

After walking out of the lun for three or four steps, Fang Xie stopped.

He turned to look at the man, shook his head slowly, and said seriously: "If you can guarantee that my companion and I will not die, what kind of contempt is standing thirsty?" If you say you can spare us this time, and then let me kneel down and climb at your feet to lick your boots, I'm willing to do that too. ”

Hearing this, three people frowned at the same time.

One is the man who looks a little domineering, the other is the young man with a perfect face and temperament sitting on the far left, and the other is the man sitting in the curtain of the tea shop.

"Okay, you get down on your knees and crawl over first."

The man sitting on the stool suddenly replied in a flat tone.

Fang Xie took a deep breath and asked, "If I crawl over, will you let me and my companion go?" ”

The middle-aged man did not answer.

Fang Xie asked again: "Or, if I die, you will let them go?" ”

The middle-aged man still didn't answer.

Fang Xie was silent for a while, then looked at the person and said solemnly: "Although I don't know what your identity is, is it so high that I can't even look up. And I am just a small scout from the border city of Fangu, and I am not outstanding among the hundreds of millions of people in the Great Sui. In terms of identity and strength, maybe you are an eagle roaming in the sky, and I am just a tired ant. But if you are not an official of the Great Sui, but an enemy of the Great Sui in this way to make me beg for a chance to live, I will only answer you with a horizontal knife, even if I will definitely die. ”

After he said this, he lifted his robe and prepared to kneel on one knee.

When these words came out, someone, who was already extremely disappointed in him, suddenly had a bright eye, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, he raised his hand and tapped lightly on the table, and then got up to leave.

The man sitting in the center of the tea shop heard this gentle tap, his face changed, and then he couldn't help laughing.

"You are his disciple, you don't have to kneel down to me...... If you tell the origin of the relationship between you and him when you first entered Chang'an City, who would embarrass you? Who would dare to embarrass you? Even if you do something wrong, it will give you a chance to make amends. You should be glad that what you just said saved you because you didn't forget your roots...... You haven't forgotten that you are a citizen of the Great Sui, and it also showed me what your other perseverance is. ”

"Very good"

He said.

The man stood up and said with a smile, "Let's go, take you to a place." ”

He took a step forward, and suddenly turned his head to look at the man in white who was sitting on the far left. He frowned slightly, and a hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes.

The boy in white was still staring at his tea bowl, and nothing seemed to have changed. But no one noticed, he quietly let go of the Dharma seal pinched by the thumb and ring finger of his left index finger, and his fingers trembled slightly.

……

……

Fang Xie knew that he had made the right bet, and he had made the right bet on the edge of life and death.

In the large courtyard of Ouchi's guard, he looked at the fruit on the peach tree that was about to ripen and was slightly distracted. The man who brought him into the palace told him to wait here, and then departed. Nearly two hours have passed since he entered the palace, and Fang Xie has been standing in the courtyard, and no one has come to pay attention to him.

He looked at the peach and really wanted to pick one and eat it.

From the morning until now, the water and rice have not entered, and he is very hungry.

Although he knew that those peaches that were not yet ripe would definitely not be delicious, they were unspeakably sour and difficult to swallow. But after being hungry all day and thirsty all day, even looking at a green peach can make people can't help but twitch slightly in their stomachs.

"What are you doing?"

Just when he was staring at a green peach in a daze, someone asked behind him.

Fang Xie turned around and saw a familiar figure.

"I've seen Mr. Zhuo."

He stooped and saluted.

Zhuo Buyi walked over slowly, walked to the stone bench not far from Fang Xie and sat down and asked, "Why did I see you staring at that green peach just now, and you were so focused?" What did the peach give you, or were you thinking about something else? ”

Fang Xie smiled and said: "Masters always think about very simple things to complicate things, do you think that I have learned some life principles by looking at that green peach?" Not really...... I'm just feeling thirsty right now, and I can imagine when I look at the green peach that this peach must be very sour, and when I think about sourness, my mouth will drool, and saliva will be watery...... Swallow more, your throat won't be dry and painful. ”

For Fang Jie's answer, Zhuo Buyi was a little speechless.

"I really can't imagine that you still have the heart to joke in such a situation."

He said.

Fang Xie shook his head and said, "I'm really not kidding, I'm really thirsty." ”

Zhuo Buyi glared at him and asked, "Do you know that you almost died in the tea shop outside the city?" ”

"Zhilu Dao"

Fang Xie smiled and said, "But I'm not dead." ”

"You're lucky."

Zhuo Buyi said.

Fang Xie continued to look at the green peach and continued to swallow: "Perhaps, my luck seems to have been good." ”

Changchun Garden

Dome

The emperor glanced at Luo Weiran, who was standing at the door with his body bowed, nodded and said, "Come in and talk...... Where's that teenager? ”

"I'm waiting at the Ouchi guard."

Luo Weiran entered the door and hung his head to speak.

"What do you think?"

The emperor asked.

Luo Weiran thought for a while and replied: "Your Majesty already has a feeling, so the minister doesn't dare to have his own feelings." ”

The emperor was stunned, and then laughed and scolded: "Flattering ministers, you should be killed." No matter how you look at it, your kung fu is not hot enough, at least it is far worse than Su Buxing. ”

Standing aside and waiting for Su Bu to smile embarrassedly, he poured tea for the emperor and retreated to an inconspicuous corner. At this time, Luo Weiran found out that it was clear that Su was standing beside the emperor, but there was an illusion that he couldn't find him in this room, he stood there, as if it was a hanger, a stool, a furnishing in this room and not a person.

Therefore, Luo Weiran paid more attention to Su Buxing, the eunuch of the imperial study who had just been promoted.

Luo Weiran lowered his head and said: "The minister didn't see what was brilliant about this young man, but since he was able to accept this young man as a disciple, and even did not hesitate to give Xiao Jindan, the world's first-class magic medicine in order to save this young man's life, there must be a reason in it, although the minister didn't see what the truth was." This young man's physique can't cultivate, and his knees seem to be too soft......"

He was referring to the kneeling of Fang Jie.

"You are the commander of the Great Inner Guard, he is just a border soldier, kneeling you are abiding by the rules of the Great Sui, you are not soft. I'm disappointed...... He spares his life too much, and if a person spares his life too much, he will have no loyalty. ”

"That's what the minister was worried about, but fortunately...... He also has the pride that a Great Sui soldier should have. ”

"I love this pride."

The emperor was silent for a while and then said, "Bring him to Changchun Garden, regardless of whether that young man is qualified to be his disciple or not, but after all, this is already an unchangeable thing." Ten years have passed, and the boy is the last person to see him, and I want to ask him what he looks like now, and where he has gone......"

"What about the military department?"

Luo Weiran asked tentatively.

"Naturally, you can't just let Fang Xie go, and then think about how to kill him after I ask."

The emperor waved his hand and said: "In addition, go and check, a little person whose identity is nothing more than a scout of the border army, why is there a strong person in the eighth rank by his side as a guard, I am also very curious about this matter." can make a strong man on the eighth grade even go to the lobby of the military department at the expense of violating the law of the country in order to save him...... I wonder if there's something hidden behind this. ”

"Whoa!"

Luo Weiran answered, and then bowed down and retreated.

At the same time, in the courtyard of the Ouchi guard's office, Fang Xie saw that the green peach really realized something, and he slapped his head and screamed.

"The old cripple lied to me again, where are two people, it is clearly one person!"

At the same time, the wonderful monk who walked into Chang'an City looked at the various beings on the street, looked at the satisfaction and pride on the faces of those Great Sui people, and looked at the vigorous vitality and vitality of these people who had no faith, he couldn't help frowning and muttered to himself: "What the master said is right, this is really a place where demons are rampant. ”
