Chapter 308: The Dark Guard
Chapter 308: The Dark Guard
Fang Xie looked at the newly raised tomb in front of him and couldn't help but sigh: "If you hope that you can seek revenge from me in an afterlife, I hope your wish can come true...... Saying this in front of the person I killed with my own hands, I really became more and more hypocritical. ”
Fang Xie turned around and left the forest a little under his feet.
Shortly after he left, Zhuo Buyi appeared in front of the new tomb. He looked at Fang Jie's departing back, his brows furrowed slightly. Fang Xie doesn't understand cultivation, and the heaven and earth vitality that he can perceive is also limited. Although under Qiu Yu's guidance in the past few days, he has made progress in his attempts to use the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi outside his body, he still can't perceive a master like Zhuo Buyi.
The reason why Zhuo Buyi frowned was because he found that Fang Jie's style of acting was becoming more and more chilling. He had been following Fang Xie here, and had seen Fang Xie shoot Lu Ou's five retinue veterans with a wonderful series of arrows, and then used a very ruthless method to force Lu Ou to reveal a lot of things about Luo Yao.
Zhuo Buyi also heard these things.
He was originally an extremely rare perceptual type cultivator, and his cultivation was far above Mu Xiao's waist.
When Fang Xie disappeared from his sight, Zhuo Buyi turned his gaze to the mound in front of him. After a long silence, he suddenly sighed, then waved his hand.
After a burst of energy, the tomb vanished.
It was flat, though the new soil still looked obvious. But at this time of year, it won't be long before a layer of green grass emerges here. After a month or two, I'm afraid I won't see any difference again. No one will know that there is a five-rank general of the border army buried here.
Zhuo Buyi beckoned, and from the shadows, several flying fish robes stood beside him with their heads bowed.
"Clean up the neighborhood and bury the bloodstains."
The flying fish robes immediately responded, and turned out to clean up the traces.
Zhuo Buyi slowly walked to the side and sat down, his brows still furrowed deeply. Fang Jie's previous performance was indeed cold and hard-hearted enough, but Zhuo Buyi's move to build a grave for Lu Ou at the last moment made Zhuo Buyi very dissatisfied. One thing that could have been done without a trace, but left a trace. He knew that this was something in Fang Jie's personality that was doing tricks, and that was a kind of kindness that was sometimes unacceptable, although it could only be regarded as hypocrisy.
He was grateful for the changes that Fang Xie had made in the past few days, and he was also disappointed in Fang Jie's shortcomings.
Zhuo Buyi sat on the stone that Fang Xie had made before, waiting for his subordinates to clean up the traces of the scene. After a while, a few flying fish robes swept over in the distance, and the group led by him hugged Zhuo Buyi and said: "The corpses and carriage wreckage on the official road have been disposed of, and no one should find them." ”
Zhuo Buyi nodded, was silent for a while, and said: "Assign a few people, go to the river to hire a boat first, if there is no accident, Fang Xie They will set off early tomorrow morning." After hiring the boat, they were divided into two teams, one team continued to follow Qincha's team, and the other team rushed to the confluence of Luoshui and the Yangtze River to wait to see if there were any people from the left front guard. ”
"Whoa!"
The group responded, turned around and quickly left with the people.
"Fang Xie ......"
Zhuo Buyi said in his heart: "Although I don't know why you are so concerned about Luo Yao's affairs, I also know that you are definitely not all here to do things for Your Majesty. It's just that since you don't plan to be a good person, you should understand that if you don't give up that bit of hypocrisy, you still won't succeed. ”
……
……
After rushing back to Luocheng, Fang Xie took a turn outside the compound where the Qincha team lived, and then jumped into it from a hidden place. In the courtyard, the black boy was already waiting a little anxiously.
"Ye Jinnan called twice outside the door of your room, but Nie Xiaoju blocked him from entering. If he came back later, it was hard to guarantee that he would not be suspicious. ”
Fang Xie nodded, took the clothes handed over by the black boy and quickly changed, and said with a smile while changing clothes: "I came back late because I gained a lot, and I asked a lot of things about the left avant-garde from Lu Ou's mouth." If we investigate these things in Yongzhou, we may not be able to find out in a month. ”
"Why don't you let us follow, what if something happens to you alone."
The black boy said angrily.
Fang explained: "Anyone who is not in this courtyard will be suspected, and the fewer people who go out to do things, the better." Ye Jinnan is not stupid, if he really pushes the door and breaks in, our arrangement will be exposed immediately. But as long as you are all here, Ye Jinnan's suspicion will be reduced a lot. ”
After changing his clothes, Fang Xie ran to the back of the house where he lived and knocked on the window gently. Chen Xiaoru, who was dressed in a square clothes, quickly got up from the bed and ran over to open the window. Fang Xie flipped in and asked in a low voice, "It's nothing, right?" ”
Chen Xiaoru took off Fang Jie's clothes, and then turned out of the window: "Except for Ye Jinnan, no one else has come to disturb him." You drank too much wine at the banquet and were personally sent back by the two adults, the county guard and the county guard, Ye Jinnan also saw that you were drunk and unconscious, so you shouldn't have found anything. ”
Fang Xie hummed, picked up the wine bag from the table and took a few sips, and then sprinkled some wine on himself.
didn't take off his boots, just lay on the bed and pulled the quilt to cover it, pretending to be asleep.
Before, he pretended to be drunk in the restaurant, and was sent back by Wei Junjun and others. After being carried into the house, Fang Xie asked Chen Xiaoru, who was about the same size as him, to change his clothes and lie on the bed, while he went out of the back window and climbed over the wall to chase Lu Ou. Since leaving Chang'an, he has been waiting for the landing gull to leave the team, and after waiting for so many days, he finally let him wait before he arrived at the Yangtze River.
If the land gull arrives on the bank of the Yangtze River and then separates, there is nothing Fang can do.
Lying on the bed, Fang Xie carefully recalled the news he had just received from Lu Ou. In fact, he didn't know if Luo Yao had any dealings with the people of the Buddhist Sect, but he knew that there were many wizards in Luo Yao's mansion. This kind of coerced confession to Lu Ou is not too subtle.
Luo Yao has a connection with Buddhism, and he still has so many wizards.
Luo Yao had been in contact with those wizards many years ago, and his personality had changed greatly since Luo Wu was killed by him himself.
Luo Yao's wife should know a lot of secrets.
Luo Yao had more than 400,000 troops.
Luo Yao's son, Luo Wen, seems to have something dissatisfied with his father.
After sorting out and filtering this information, Fang Xie gradually had some outlines in his mind.
After Luo Yao personally killed his eldest son Luo Wu, his temperament changed somewhat. Then he became interested in witchcraft and began to associate with people from the Buddhist sect. Is there any involvement in this?
Why would Luo Wen be dissatisfied with Luo Yao?
Is a general with 400,000 troops who is connected to Buddhism really loyal to the emperor? And what is the relationship between Emperor Murong Yan and Luo Yao?
Fang Xie found that these things seemed to be related to him, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that he couldn't find any place to connect with him. If it was really Luo Yao who arranged everything back then, what was the relationship between himself and Luo Yao? Lu Ou said that more than ten years ago, Luo Yao was angry and killed many wizards who were raised in the mansion. Did those wizards slaughter them in a fit of anger because they didn't do what Luo Yao ordered?
More than ten years ago, at that time, I had just started to run.
What does the killing of those wizards have to do with themselves?
The sorted out clues were still disorganized, and Fang Jie, who was lying on the bed, couldn't help but sigh. It seems that if you want to find out your life experience, you will have more clues after you arrive in Yongzhou. Judging from Ye Jinnan's attitude towards himself, Luo Yao must have explained something to him.
There was a festival between himself and Luo Wen, and Luo Yao should know about it. In this case, why did Luo Yaowei want Ye Jinnan to show favor to him? Even if he disabled Lu Ou, Ye Jinnan could endure it. If there is no problem in this, Fang Xie will not believe it.
It seems that this mystery can only be revealed after arriving in Yongzhou.
While he was thinking about these things, suddenly someone outside spoke. Fang Xie could hear that it was Ye Jinnan who came again. He pondered for a while, and then tried his best to say in a hoarse voice to the outside: "Xiao Ju, don't stop General Ye, please let him in." ”
……
……
As soon as Ye Jinnan entered the door, he smelled a strong smell of wine, and his face couldn't help but change.
Fang Xie sat up from the bed, rubbed the corners of his eyebrows and smiled apologetically: "Let General Ye see that he is smiling, the amount of alcohol is not good, but the kindness of many adults is not good, I don't remember how much I drank and I got drunk like this." I don't know how the adults in Ludao County will laugh at me in private. ”
"Lord Xiaofang......"
Ye Jinnan was silent for a while and then said, "It's not good to go on like this...... Even if you like the scenery along the way, you can't get on a boat, but it's better to have less contact with local officials. It is the first time for you to go out of Beijing to do business, and if you are known by the imperial historians of the imperial court, it is inevitable that you will not participate in the performance in front of His Majesty. Lord Xiaofang has a bright future, so why do you need to teach the truth? ”
Fang Xie shook his head and said: "At first, I just didn't want people to think that I was pretending to be high and rejecting people, but who knew that Lu Dao would become more and more intense later, and it was difficult to refuse." I also know that this is not good, but if it is pushed all the way, won't it offend people too much? ”
"But ......"
Fang Jie's tone changed and said: "It's not always like this, you're right, if you go on like this, I'm afraid that it will be summer when you reach Yongzhou." It's the Yangtze River after Mangdang Mountain, let's go and say goodbye to the county guard early tomorrow morning, and then take the waterway...... Although seasickness is uncomfortable, it is even more uncomfortable to drink too much alcohol every day. ”
"Really?"
Ye Jinnan was a little unexpected: "If Lord Xiaofang is really ready to take the waterway, then I have to send someone to arrange it now." That's right...... There's one more thing I feel I have to tell you...... Lu Ou was like an arrow in his heart and his injuries were really unbearable, so he left first today, planning to go straight to Yongzhou by water. ”
"Huh?"
Fang Xie pretended to be surprised, then nodded and said, "It's better for him to take the first step, so as not to look at me uncomfortable." ”
Ye Jinnan chatted casually with Fang Xie for a few more words and then left, and it could be seen that he was really a lot more relaxed.
It was getting dark, and less than two hundred steps away from the compound where Fang Xie lived, there was an inn on the left side of the street. At noon, a group of seven or eight people moved in, and the accents were all northerners, and the unique tone of the people in the imperial capital was particularly obvious.
Soon after the men moved in, two people left and did not return until dark. When the two of them returned, they left the inn with two more people.
"When the bus is waiting, the first thing to do along the road is to get rid of Chen Hum and Chen Ha. Although these two people have not opened their minds, their cultivation is extremely strong. If we fight hard, we may not win...... If we change to the waterway after the Qincha's team leaves Luocheng, we won't have a chance. ”
"What should I do?"
Another asked.
"Since it is a person with the general mind of two children, hard fighting is not an opponent, it can only be outwitted."
The person at the head was a man of about fifty years old, and he seemed to be vaguely similar to the secret guards around the emperor at the beginning. He also had a long sword in his package, and a word of separation was engraved on the scabbard.
"It's said that those two idiots love good food, and that's our chance. If Yan Mad Chen Xiaoru and the three of them are not good at doing it, we have to find a way to lure those two idiots out and then get rid of them. No matter how strong an enemy with a penchant is, it is not terrible, not to mention that they are still two fools. ”
"As long as Fang Xie is not around, it is not difficult to deceive the two children."
He smiled, was silent for a while, and said, "The day of our Dark Guardian is coming!" His Majesty became more and more distrustful of the people in the Ouchi Guard, and Gonggong Su was the most important person in front of His Majesty. If we don't do anything good, Father-in-law Su will also be punished by His Majesty. If we want to suppress those people in the Ouchi Guard, we must do this beautifully. ”
Wu Weiliu...... You find a way to contact Yan Madness and them early tomorrow morning, and let them find a way to trick Chen Hum and Chen Ha out of that compound. Tell them to be careful and don't let Fang Xie notice! ”
"Whoa!"
Several of his men answered, and then went out to do their errands.
The leader took the long sword out of the package, looked at the letter engraved on the scabbard and muttered: "The time for the glory of our secret guards is coming, but it's a pity that my brother passed away before he saw this day." ”
He called the brother who left the fire, and the brother who was in distress.
