Chapter 626: Each plays his own scheming
Chapter 626: Each plays its own scheming
Fang Xie beat a nine-rank cultivator into scum in front of Chen Yongfu, but he didn't do anything more, just politely said goodbye, and then left Liangcheng with the team. According to the previous agreement with Zhong Xin, Fang Xie did not stay in Liangcheng for one more minute, and after the team received the supplies provided by Liangcheng, they immediately started, which made everyone in the city breathe a sigh of relief. Not only the defenders and the rich households, but also the ordinary people were worried about whether there would be a sudden fight.
In fact, Fang Jie's attitude to express in this way is very clear, you don't provoke me, you abide by the rules, and I follow the rules.
In the carriage, Mu Xiaoyin peeled a petal of orange and sent it to Fang Jie's mouth, although it was not new, it was still sweet and juicy. Southerners have their own way of preserving tangerines and then selling them a year or so at a price that is at least twice as high as when they were first produced.
Shen Tianfan sat on the side and read quietly, and suddenly thought of one thing: "You killed a nine-grade powerhouse in front of the Chen family, this Liangzi is settled, aren't you worried about what trouble the Southwest families will find with you in the future?" It seems a bit irrational to offend people in this way. ”
Fang Xie smiled, took an orange from the plate and threw it over, Shen Tian Fan didn't look at it, and reached out to catch it.
"Deliberately"
He lay back to make himself more comfortable: "If the other party's first temptation doesn't hit back hard, it will be annoying later, the best thing these guys are at is to inch in, a little bit to test where your bottom line is." If I kill someone directly, I just tell them my bottom line, you don't need to be tempted, and no one can mess with me. Moreover, these people in the southwest have been entrenched here for a long time, and they will have a very strong sense of ownership, and they will look down on outsiders together, and if they don't deter them, there will inevitably be something disgusting. ”
"But in this way, is the contradiction intensifying too quickly?"
Mu Xiaoxiao asked.
"I didn't expect to live in peace with them."
Fang Xie pointed to his mouth to signal that it was time to feed, Mu Xiaoyin stuffed the peeled orange into his mouth, Fang Xie said while chewing contentedly: "These people didn't have any good plans from the beginning when they wanted my Black Flag Army to go south, so I can pick out as many things as I can from their hands, do you know what is the best way to deal with the splashy villains on the street?" It's not about convincing people with virtue, it's not about being magnanimous, it's about beating you hard, so that those splashes are afraid of you, and they don't even dare to think about provoking you again. ”
Mu Xiaoxiao shook his head: "It's too brain-consuming, I still want to think of something else." ”
Shen Tianfan peeled the orange that Fang Xie threw to him, and instead of eating it himself, he threw it back again, Fang Xie smiled and caught it. Shen tilted the hair hanging down from his forehead to his ears: "The intrigue between you men is even more ruthless than that between women." We only focus on the immediate gains and losses, and you even calculate the benefits of tomorrow and the day after tomorrow and even next month, so I don't think about it......"
Fang Xie smiled and shook his head: "Actually, the reason is very simple, I promised them to go south, Zhong Xin Chi Haonian and these two people have been to Vermilion Bird Mountain and know the power in my hands, so the two of them will be very regular." But for the four southwestern provinces, these governors are actually outsiders, and the real power is in the hands of those local families. Zhong Xin Chi Hao is honest, it doesn't mean that they will be honest. ”
"They will test where the bottom line of my tolerance for them is, because to have their current status shows that they are more greedy than ordinary people in their bones, and they dare to think about things that ordinary people dare not think. Seeing that I was going south with 30,000 elite horsemen, they thought at first that I would fight the southern barbarians, but then they couldn't help but wonder if they could take the Black Flag Army over. ”
"It would be a very frustrating process to let them wear down my patience little by little. It's better to call back directly, and let them know that the most correct thing to do is to put away all those careful thoughts. Of course, there will be some people who feel unconvinced and resentful because of this, but when they want to do it again, they can't help but think about how that nine-rank cultivator died. ”
Fang Xie smiled: "I'm not afraid that they will think I'm a stunned young man now, because stunned young people are unreasonable." ”
Shen Tianfan snorted: "But I always feel that it is more dangerous to go south to Yongzhou this time." Although there were fewer people last time, Luo Yao was still there, but he didn't have too much worry in his heart. But this time, although there are tens of thousands of elite riders around you, you can't be sure. ”
Fang Xie thought for a moment and said, "Last time, we were just passers-by, so we didn't touch their interests. But this time, they knew that I was not a passerby, so they naturally found a way to get rid of me. ”
"Next time, if someone sends a cultivator to assassinate you without opening their eyes, I will kill you."
Shen Tianfan said lightly: "When those people know that not only are you cultivating well, but the women around you can also kill a nine-rank cultivator, they won't dare to think nonsense." ”
Fang Xie was more interested in the words of the woman next to him, squinted his eyes and smiled: "The woman next to you, stay in the carriage tonight and protect me."
Shen Tianfan was slightly stunned, and then turned his head away from him.
Last night, she sent Fang Xie Wan Xingchen's notes, and Fang Xie pulled her and didn't allow her to go back to her carriage, tossing for half the night, and now she is still a little unwell, and the carriage almost broke apart. She sat here lazily reading all day, not because her legs were a little weak from being tortured by that guy.
"Let the little waist protect you, it used to be like this."
Shen Tianfan shifted the topic to Mu Xiaoxiao, but Mu Xiaoxiao didn't understand the meaning hidden in the two of them.
"Where can I protect him now?"
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled: "It's time for him to protect us." ”
Fang Xie nodded vigorously: "Yes...... It's time for me to protect you. ”
……
……
The four southwest roads are very long from east to west, and the north and south are short, and after passing through Liangcheng, they will go out of the border of Beihui Road for seven days. Du Jianzhou, the governor of Nanhui Province, sent people to wait at the place where he had just entered Nanhui Road, and when he saw the team of the Black Flag Army appearing from afar, he hurriedly greeted him. In this southwestern region, the speed of messaging between Maisons is astonishingly fast. Needless to say, I also knew that Fang Xie had killed a nine-rank cultivator of the Chen family in Liangcheng, and the big names of Nanhui Dao already knew about it.
So these people waiting outside Qiuqiang County all had very gentle and humble smiles, of course, these people were just sent by those big people to fight the front station. The people of Nanhui Dao basically have no contact with Fang Jie, and they don't know anything about Fang Jie.
Therefore, they need their own men to find out and bring back the most direct news.
Including the county commander of Qiuqiang County, at least 100 people, including the county Cheng, were waiting outside, and when they saw the huge military flag of the Black Flag Army, they hurriedly went over, but after asking, they learned that Fang Xie had broken away from the team a few miles to the north, and it was said that he was fishing by the small river with his relatives.
Arrogant!
Everyone's first impression is that this person named Fang Xie is too arrogant!
There were so many of them waiting here, but that Fang Xie actually left the big group of people and ran to fish. Although the county magistrate of Qiuqiang County knew that he was a small person compared to Fang Jie, this kind of humiliation was extremely difficult for literati to accept. But even if he felt uncomfortable, he still had to politely entertain Fang Jie's subordinates.
He was going to wait for Fang to solve it, but the generals of the Black Flag Army said that the general had told him that he didn't have to wait for him, and he didn't know when he would be interested in fishing by the river. The county commander and his entourage had no choice but to invite these generals of the Black Flag Army to the city to wait.
Soon, the news of Fang Jie's arrogance and rudeness spread through various channels.
There is a small river running east-west less than five miles north of the county seat of Qiuqiang County, and it is said that the end eventually joins Yishui. The river is not wide, only about ten meters, so there is no need for a ferry, there is a seven-hole stone bridge on the river every ten miles, I don't know the year, but it is still strong.
Fang Xie sat on the stone bridge fishing, and the white lion was napping beside him.
The big dog squatted on the railing of the bridge and smoked his pipe, looked at the fish that jumped out of the water from time to time in the river and asked puzzledly: "If you say that killing people in Liangcheng is to make those people jealous of you, then why did you deliberately snub those local squires who greeted you this time?" ”
"You can't guess?"
Fang Xie asked rhetorically.
The big dog boy thought about it carefully and said, "Killing people in Liangcheng is to prevent those people from trying something again." This time you pretended to be arrogant and rude and didn't go to see those local squires, did you want those people to think that you didn't have any scheming, just a brave and unscrupulous person? ”
Fang Xie smiled: "I can't let them be too jealous of me, and I can't let them be too presumptuous, it's very difficult to handle this degree." ”
The big dog nodded: "I just can't let them look down on it, and I can't let them care too much." ”
"It's easy to make your opponent think you're nothing more than that. It's hard to make your opponent think you're terrible. ”
Fang Xie shook his hand and lifted a fish out of the water, looked at it, and threw it into the river. The big dog squinted and looked at it, puzzled again: "When did you become so merciful, and you have to release it when you catch it?" Is this the mood of the legend? Fishing, in fact, is not for fish? ”
"Phew!"
Fang Xie glanced at him: "Fishing is not for fishing, this is either nonsense or contrived, fishing is a hooligan if you don't want to catch a fish, I catch it and throw it away, because I am greedy, the one just now is too small." ”
He said seriously: "If you want to fish, you have to catch big fish." ”
The big dog seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and suddenly thought of the relative who wrote to him in the south of Yongzhou, and his heart tightened. He was worried that Fang Xie and his relatives would meet on the battlefield, and the most difficult choice at that time was actually him.
……
……
The Dagu City, where Nanhui Daozhi is located, is only one hundred and ten miles away from Qiuqiang County, and according to the speed of the Black Flag Army, it can be reached in two days at most. But if someone who spares no effort to deliver the news, it won't take a day to change horses back and forth. So in the morning, the Black Flag Army arrived in Qiuqiang County, and when it was almost dark, Fang Jie's rude behavior was already known to a group of big people in the Great Lonely City.
"What do you think?"
Liu Di, the head of the Liu family, asked Du Jianzhou, the governor of Nanhui Province: "Do you have an overreputation for this surname Fang?" ”
Du Jianzhou shook his head: "When Chi Haonian came back, he specially explained, don't have any conflicts with this person, let him go to Yongzhou safely and steadily, even if it is a scourge, it can only harm Pingshang, and after he takes the men and horses and the Nanyan army and the Su people to divide the victory and defeat, even if he wins, how many soldiers will be left?" When the time comes, we will block the way back to the north and trap him to death in Yongzhou, the 100,000 horses in Huangyang Road are not the dishes in our hands? ”
"Listen to you"
Liu Di nodded: "No matter how arrogant he is, or whether he pretends to be pretending to be a show, let's not provoke him, let him hurry through Nanhui Road to Yongzhou." ”
"But ......"
He paused for a moment and said, "The matter of the 10,000 county soldiers cannot be compromised no matter what!" ”
