Chapter 1155 is not far from death

"What are you going to do with me?"

Mu Qinglin asked.

At this time, the person sitting in front of him had changed, not the thousand hands and faces that he hated. He was just annoying to Thousand Hands and Thousand Faces, but he was afraid of this young man coming. Although this person is younger than a thousand hands and a thousand faces, although this person seems to be much kinder.

"I didn't plan it, but if you need to leave someone to collect Mu Guangling's body, it should be you."

Fang Xie replied.

Mu Qinglin's face changed suddenly, but he didn't refute anything.

"The little grandfather shouldn't be dead yet."

He said.

Fang Xie nodded: "Mu Xianjun is indeed not dead, and he is on Phoenix Terrace." ”

Mu Qinglin's eyes lit up, and then he actually smiled: "If that's the case, you really should celebrate." After Mu Zihuan returned that day, he suddenly attacked Grandpa Guo, and I guessed that something must have happened that made Mu Zihuan crazy. He is the representative of the Red Eyebrow Army, if he is only defeated, he will not have the courage to attack the grandfather of the country. So I think most of it touched Mu Zihuan's unbearable heart, which is why he is so crazy that he knows that he can't do it. ”

"Actually, I don't hate you, and I don't even blame you."

He took a deep breath, his face gradually calming down. He is an old man, an old man who has seen too many ups and downs.

"This is the way this world is, the winner determines the fate of the loser. Although this battle has not yet been fought, I know that Grandpa Guo will not be able to win. Grandpa Guo can't calm down and think about things, and you look calm no matter what you do. Although this is the eastern frontier of the grandfather of the country, the grandfather of the country who occupies the geographical advantage cannot win the people and you. ”

"I just hope you don't overdo it. Although there are grievances between Grandpa Guo and you, there is no uncommon hatred. Speaking of which, if you hadn't come to provoke Mu Mansion in the first place, there would have been no hostility later. The little grandfather lost an arm in your hand, and the grandfather of the country may lose a life in your hand, this price is not small, there are many people in Mufu, but there are so many people I don't want to die. If someone has to accompany the funeral of the grandfather, count me in. ”

He looked at Fang Xie and said sincerely: "I know that most of the laws in this world are that the winner must cut the grass and eradicate the roots without leaving any trouble, so it is obviously a bit ridiculous to tell you this with my weight." But what I want to say is that Grandpa Guo has been guarding Dongjiang for decades, and Mufu has kept Dongjiang stable for hundreds of years, in exchange for some people not to die, is it enough? ”

Fang Xie didn't answer, just looked at Mu Qinglin quietly.

He found that this old man was very different, and after getting along with each other in the past few days, he was sure that Mu Qinglin was not a traitorous person, he was just a person who was full of respect and obedience to Mu Guangling, and perhaps he had also devoted almost all his energy to Mu Fu. Maybe he has been working in Mu Mansion since he was very young, and he has been living for others for decades, so much so that he has no self. That's why he can say so plainly that if someone needs to accompany Mu Guangling to the funeral, count me in.

"I have never looked down on Mu Guangling."

Fang Xie was silent for a while and then said, "On the contrary, I have always admired what Mu Guangling did. It's not hypocrisy, it's the truth. When I was a teenager who was running to the end of the world for my life, I heard that there were two people in this empire called the Great Sui who were like the Dinghai Divine Needle. One is Luo Yao in the southwest, and the other is Mu Guangling in the east. With Luo Yao, the people did not dare to commit north. With Mu Guangling, Dongchu didn't dare to raise his head. ”

When Mu Qinglin heard Fang Jie's words, a trace of gratitude appeared in his eyes.

"No matter what Luo Yao has done, no matter what Mu Guangling has done now, for a long time, without them, there would be no peace and stability. The Su people are barren but barbaric and warlike, and if Luo Yao had not suppressed them, I don't know how many Han people in the southwest would have died in these years. Dongchu is rich and suspicious, if there is no Mu Guangling, I don't know what will be embezzled over the years. ”

Fang Xie poured a cup of tea for Mu Qinglin: "Actually, I even thought that after defeating the foreigners, I am willing to sit down with Mu Guangling and talk quietly. But I know it's ridiculous, so I'm just thinking about it. ”

Mu Qinglin smiled bitterly.

"Why do you think that Mu Guangling can't win this battle?"

Fang asked.

"There is a sentence that Grandpa Guo has said to me many times, he said that the former sages once said, the righteous are more helped, and the unrighteous are less helped, so he has been showing kindness for so many years, not claiming to be in a high position of the country, and being a virtuous corporal. It is not only good for the guests of the rivers and lakes, but also for the people. So for decades, the people have been obedient, and the rivers and lakes have been happy. But who would have thought that it would only take a few foolish orders to ruin all this, and it has only been more than a year, and everyone has scolded Mu Mansion, and the rivers and lakes are deviating everywhere, especially after the battle of Shili Gorge against the Red Mei Army a year ago, the reputation of Mu Mansion and the reputation of Grandpa Guo was ruined. ”

"The things that have been accumulated for decades of hard work have been ruined in one fell swoop, so it's really ridiculous and sad to think about it, Grandpa Guo loves soldiers like sons and loves people like sons for decades, and all this has changed in just one year. The reason why I said that Grandpa Guo will lose is not that I am afraid of death Now I flatter you The people of Eastern Xinjiang are not on Grandpa Guo's side, and even the soldiers have begun to become unstable because of what has happened in the past year or so, how can such a team and such a popular heart win"

"After the battle against the Red Eyebrow Army, as soon as the news came out, the entire Eastern Xinjiang shook the Jianghu guests who were originally attached to Mufu and left one after another. The people who were originally convinced of Mufu looked at each other angrily. Although there are still many customers in the house, most of the remaining people are idle people, who are rubbish, so what's the use of staying? These people stay for wine and meat and money, will they work hard for the grandfather of the country? ”

Mu Qinglin let out a long sigh: "I also thought that one day the grandfather of the country would reign in the world, but it would only be a mirror, and he could not see it but not touch it. ”

All afternoon, Fang Xie was chatting with Mu Qinglin in the carriage.

The two men said a lot of things.

Fang Xie knows more about this Eastern Xinjiang, this Mu Mansion, and this Mu Guangling. When the old man begins to reminisce about the past, a lot of things will pour out when the conversation box is opened. Most of these things are trivial things about Chen sesame seeds and rotten grain, and you can see people's hearts from them.

Regarding what Mu Guangling has done in controlling Eastern Xinjiang over the years, Fang Jie's evaluation is actually not low: although it is pretentious, there are many real benefits.

"Let me ask more, do you want to deceive all the troops in Mufu City, where do you plan to take them? I believe that you have now seen through the strategy of Grandpa Guo, and although your goal is still Malanshan, you will definitely win. These nearly 100,000 elites, you have to take them to death? ”

"No"

Fang Xie shook his head: "When you asked me before, if you could only kill Mu Guangling and not harm others, I didn't give you an answer. That's because I can't give you an answer, it's not up to me to decide how many people will die in Dongjiang, I can only touch the death outbreak as little as possible. The people and horses in the city, the false order I gave them was to go to Phoenix Terrace instead of Malan Mountain"

Fang Xie was silent for a while, and seemed to be a little stunned: "If Malan Mountain is Mu Guangling's mortal place, after he dies, I will definitely take over Mufu City, but the soldiers in the city are naturally full of respect for Mufu, and they will inevitably fight to the death." 100,000 people defending the city, if I storm it, how many people will die? Even if these people die, they should die on the battlefield of a decisive battle with a foreign enemy, not on the battlefield of fighting with their own people. ”

Fang Xie said slowly: "So I transferred this team out in advance." First, of course, it is hoped to weaken Mu Guangling's strength and resolve the civil strife as soon as possible. Second, it is to kill fewer people who don't deserve to die, and not to let foreigners see jokes. I'm not a good person, and I'm not a good person, but I also know what to try to avoid. ”

"Why don't you just come and fight foreigners!"

Mu Qinglin suddenly became a little excited: "If you don't come to Mu Mansion, but lead the troops to fight the foreigners directly, there will be no civil strife." Even if there is, it will be a matter for the future, so why can't we wait until we defeat the foreigners together? ”

"I want to, too."

Fang Xie shook his head: "But if you answer me, will Mu Guangling sincerely join forces with me to resist the foreigners?" When I took the Black Flag Army to fight the foreigners on the battlefield, would Mu Guangling resist not stabbing me in the back? Besides, I never said that I didn't want the land of Dongjiang, since I came, Dongjiang naturally wanted to take it, and wherever the battle flag of my Black Flag Army went, it was the land of our solution! Mu Guangling knows this very well, so there is no sincere cooperation between me and him. ”

"The only difference is"

Fang Xie let out a long breath of turbidity: "I put the foreigners' rebellion in the first place, and Mu Guangling regards me as the first enemy. ”

"But I think it's always your fault."

Mu Qinglin said seriously.

Fang Xie nodded, and did not deny it: "If I were Mu Guangling, I might have died worse than him." ”

Mu Qinglin didn't understand this at first, but after a while, he realized the meaning. He didn't know whether Fang Jie's sentence was true or false, if it was true, then it was indeed more tragic. Fang Jie's meaning is that if he is Mu Guangling, he will be willing to cooperate sincerely with others to resist foreign enemies, and because of this willingness, he may die worse than Mu Guangling.

This is the reality of this world.

It's cold, and there's no human touch at all.

"Yes, you're going to fight for the world."

Mu Qinglin smiled bitterly, as if he had lost his ability to talk. He knew he couldn't control anything, and he couldn't change anything. There has never been a thing in this world where a single word can stop ambition, and the young man in front of him has begun to stop hiding his ambition.

If he is an old acquaintance of Fang Jie, he may be a little surprised by Fang Jie's transformation.

But when he met Fang Jie, Fang Xie was already a success. For those who succeed, there seems to be nothing wrong with these choices.

I don't know how long it took for the silence in the carriage to be broken again.

"I've heard that you've been promoting the practice of dividing land into households in other places. This will indeed benefit the people and win the hearts of the people, but I also know that it may be nothing for you to do this in one city and one place, but if you succeed in implementing the world, you may die a miserable death. ”

He was speaking very seriously, and it was by no means a curse to vent hatred.

Fang Xie leaned back, as if he didn't want to explain this.

"As far as I know"

Mu Qinglin looked at Fang Xie and said, "From ancient times to the present, no dynasty has been established by ordinary people. The founder of any country is inseparable from the support of the family. Therefore, there have been so many ambitious emperors throughout the ages, and none of them dared to tear their faces with the big families in the world. If the face is really torn, the world will suffer more deeply than war. ”

"And you, bear the brunt."

He pointed to Fang Jie, so sure.

"Perhaps."

Fang Xie stretched his body and drank the herbal tea in the cup: "Maybe what I do won't last long, maybe I'll die soon." For someone like me, who is not a good person or a good person, does it seem stupid and idiotic to do this? I can obviously accept this world more smoothly and enjoy the support of those people from big families, if that's the case, I think, now I'm already the emperor in Chang'an City, right? ”

Mu Qinglin nodded, not denying it.

"Maybe you'll think I'm arrogant."

Fang Xie took off the pipe from his waist that had not been touched for a long time, stuffed it with tobacco, lit it, and took a deep breath. He has never been a smoker, but at this moment, he really wanted to take a puff.

"I want to fight for the world and dominate the world, but I really didn't look down on the word throne, let alone think that my children and grandchildren would sit on the throne for thousands of generations. The world I want to fight for may be different from the world in your thoughts, and if I explain it to you, it will be a very troublesome process, even if you understand it, you won't understand me and you don't need your understanding, so I still don't talk about it. ”

"Race for the world"

He spit out a smoke ring, which seemed leisurely but so heavy: "I want to fight, I want to dominate, so I must be ruthless, I must be decisive, I must kill people like hemp When I die one day, I hope that the world I have fought for has changed because of me." The world will be a little fairer, a little more stable, enough that I have never told anyone about it, and maybe that's why I came to this world. ”

"Now that I'm here and I'm here, I can change."

Fang Xie smiled: "Why doesn't it change?" I can't control it in the future, I only care about what happened when I was alive. ”

Mu Qinglin was silent, he didn't understand.

But he understood the meaning of one of the sentences.

Fang explained that he had never told anyone about this.

So Mu Qinglin knew that he was not far from death.
