Chapter 430: Is This Reason Enough?
The window was propped up, and the rainwater flowed down the window to form a small waterfall. Fang Xie sat on a chair and looked at the gray sky outside, puffing out smoke like a demon absorbing the essence of heaven and earth. His eyes narrowed, as if trying to see through the rain.
Outside the wooden house, dozens of samurai in iron armor stood on it, and the raindrops made a ticking sound on the iron armor and ***. The armorers stood outside like nails, letting the rain wash over their armor. But no matter how heavy the rain was, it couldn't wash away the smell of blood on their bodies.
Fang Xie didn't need to look closely to see that each of these dozens of armor soldiers had at least ten lives in their hands.
Otherwise, there would be no such momentum.
The hut is simple but not small, with tables, chairs, beds and even bookshelves. It's just that there is not a book on the shelf, but a pot of wildflowers. The bright yellow flowers bloomed proudly, small and unfragrant, but they were the most striking colors in the room.
In fact, this is not an ornamental flower at all, just a dandelion.
After the small yellow flowers wither, the fluffy balls gradually emerge. Maybe on a windy day, the seeds will float out of the house and fall into the unknown. When the next spring is warm, a few green seedlings will emerge from the soil.
Spring is born and autumn flies, and the cycle repeats. It's like human ambition, which dies and gives birth.
The door creaked open from the outside, and the wind swept the rain in, and the already chilling temperature in the room dropped a lot in an instant.
The person who came in closed the door and took off his coat and hung it in the doorway.
Fang Xie raised his head and glanced at the person, his gaze did not linger too much. He seemed to have guessed that this person would come, so he was not surprised at all.
"I don't understand something, so I want to ask you."
The person who came in was Luo Xiaotu, who was known as the little butcher.
"I can't say what you're asking."
"You know what I'm going to ask?"
"I don't know, but I'm not going to say anything you ask."
Fang Jie's answer was very annoying, but Luo Xiaotu was not a person with feelings, and if he didn't have feelings, he would naturally not be angry. In his life, there seems to be only a straight line of life, and there is never a roundabout.
"I'm not really good at talking to people."
Luo Xiaotu looked at Fang Xie and said seriously: "Because I know another way to get information." ”
Fang Xie glanced at him, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "I would have said this a few years ago when I was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child, and I would kill horse thieves in Fangu City, and I would always catch one first and ask where the horse thief was hiding." When the other party refuses to say it, I will be the same as you are now, and the other party will generally be cowardly when I say such a very pretending sentence. ”
Luo Xiaotu snorted, and then stopped talking.
The two of them sat silently like this, without even intertwining their eyes with each other.
"I'll have the food delivered in a moment."
After a long time, Luo Xiaotu stood up and went to the door to put on his robes: "Many people have said that you are a rare smart person, I don't know where to divide smart and stupid, but since others are saying this, it will not be wrong, so you should understand that I will not talk to you a second time." ”
Fang Xie made a gesture of please: "The wine should be hot, don't have vegetables, let's have a big plate of dumplings." ”
Luo Xiaotu was slightly stunned, and then walked out.
Fang Xie couldn't help but shake his head and smile when he looked at his back, and muttered a villain slaughter villain slaughter, you might as well be a villain if you are so tired.
The conversation between him and Luo Xiaotu was extremely simple, but he was not disappointed at all. He knew that Luo Xiaotu would definitely come, and he also knew what Luo Xiaotu was going to do, and he knew that Luo Xiaotu was waiting for him to beg him, but Fang Xie knew what to do, and he would never follow the path set by others.
Half an hour later, they were pushed away from the outside again. The person who came in was still Luo Xiaotu, and Fang Xie was still not surprised. Luo Xiaotu was holding a large tray in his hand, which contained a pot of wine, a plate of cooked beef, and a large plate of dumplings, which were still steaming.
He put the umbrella aside and slowly walked over to Fang Xie to put the tray down.
"You want it."
He said.
Fang Xie was not polite, sat up straight, picked up chopsticks and stuffed a dumpling into his mouth, and the thick aroma of meat immediately got into his mouth, and even into his mind. When you take a bite, the fragrant juice can be sprayed out, and the level of the dumpling bun is excellent, Fang Xie couldn't help but admire.
Drink wine and eat dumplings.
Fang Xie didn't raise his head.
"Delicious?"
Luo Xiaotu watched him eat so sweet, and couldn't help but ask.
Fang Xie pointed at the dumplings with chopsticks: "You don't know how to taste them yourself?" ”
"I just think you eat deliciously, I can't eat it myself. I haven't discerned the taste since I can remember, so eating has never been a pleasure for me. You can enjoy the deliciousness, I'm just trying to fill my stomach. ”
Luo Xiaotu replied lightly.
Fang Xie snorted and ignored Luo Xiaotu's words.
"You've decided that I'll come back, and you've calculated that I'll let you go?"
Luo Xiaotu asked.
When he asked this sentence, he finally had some feelings in his tone, some complicated, some unwilling, some disappointed, and some disgust.
"You don't dare to kill me in the camp, and you feel sorry for yourself if you don't kill me, so you will definitely let me go, what other options are there?"
Fang Xie raised his head and glanced at him and then asked rhetorically, of course.
……
……
"It smells so good!"
Fang Xie ate a large plate full of dumplings, and he didn't even have hypocritical politeness. The dumplings are indeed very fragrant, and Fang Xie doesn't seem to be worried that the dumplings will be poisonous. It was the most comfortable meal he'd had in all these days, and the fullest meal he had ever eaten. Fang Xie has a habit of never eating too much. The more you eat, the more lazy you become, and the more lazy you are, the more you will let your guard down.
"You say you don't have a taste in your mouth?"
Fang asked.
Luo Xiaotu nodded.
Fang Xie sighed and said, "That's really a pity, there are not many things that men in this world can enjoy." Delicious, Wine, Beautiful...... You've lost a third of your enjoyment and a third less of your fun. But this also made me understand why everyone said that Luo Xiaotu was an emotionless person, it turned out that it was because you couldn't eat it. ”
These two things don't seem to be related, but Fang explained it in a straightforward way.
Luo Xiaotu didn't deny it.
"Not only do I not have a sense of taste, but I also don't have a sense of touch."
Luo Xiaotu said in a flat tone: "When I eat, I can't tell the taste of the food on the tip of my tongue." I held the woman and couldn't perceive the flesh on my fingers. So I think the world is boring, and the only thing that can interest me may be the satisfaction of my heart. I'm a lifeless person, so there's no need to hold any feelings. ”
He took the flask and poured himself a glass, then drank it: "They say wine is spicy, but I can't understand what spicy tastes like. ”
"Understood."
Fang Xie nodded: "So your only happiness is only the satisfaction in your heart." ”
"It's a pity that I haven't found anything that really satisfies me for more than 20 years."
Luo Xiaotu shook his head.
"Do you think you can hide it from Luo Yao?"
Fang asked.
Luo Xiaotu glanced at him, and then cast his gaze out the window: "I'm not sure...... I only know that you are a very important person to the Great General, otherwise he would not have been really angry that you killed Wen Xiaodao. I firmly believe that even if Rowan kills Wen Xiaodao, the general will not be so indifferent. And I happened to hear a rumor that some people said that Rowan was not the general's own flesh and blood...... Knowing this, it is not difficult to extrapolate the rest. ”
"Wen Xiaodao is important, but it is far less important than his own son. You won't deny that I'm right, because I can't think of anything else. Only in this way can the general's magnanimity and even connivance towards you be explained. You are the son of the Great General, and the Great General does not dispose of you because he wants to keep what you inherit from him. ”
"Am I thinking wrong?"
He asked.
Fang Xie shook his head: "That's basically right. ”
"Hmm"
Luo Xiaotu snorted: "I can also think of it, I guessed it shouldn't be wrong." Rowan killed Zhan Yao in an attempt to seize power and control Yongzhou. The general went back this time with a murderous look in his eyes, so Rowan was sure to die. Since Rowan is going to die, then you are the only heir to the general. ”
Fang Xie smiled: "This is exactly the reason why you want to kill me...... Who called you Luo Yao's godson. ”
"That's why I'm not worried about not being able to hide from the general...... This calls you the son of the great general. ”
Luo Xiaotu said in a flat tone: "What you just said is right, the only thing that can make me feel that I am still a person now is the feeling of satisfaction." I just didn't expect that you could see my mind so thoroughly even though you and I have no intersection, so I can't help but kill you. ”
"No need to think about it"
Fang explained: "The excitement in your eyes when Wen Xiaodao died, a blind person can feel it. You want to kill Wen Xiaodao, but you don't dare, because Wen Xiaodao always follows Luo Yao. Now that Wen Xiaodao is dead, you have been satisfied, and a new dissatisfaction has begun...... If I die, you, the godson, will become Luo Yao's only heir, and I can't help but be tempted. ”
"But you don't dare to kill me in the camp, because the Ten Masters of Rohman have never been of the same mind. There are countless pairs of eyes staring outside, as long as I die in the camp, you can't hide if you want to. So you must let me go, and then kill me while I run. In this way, there will be no handle in the hands of others, and when I am already dead, even if Luo Yao is dissatisfied with you and angry again, he will not kill you because of a dead person, right? ”
"Right"
Luo Xiaotu nodded: "Word for word." ”
"I'm right, but you're wrong."
Fang Xie said with a smile.
"What am I doing wrong?"
Luo Xiaotu asked.
Fang Xie smiled: "You are wrong because you don't understand me, and you don't understand Luo Yao. ”
Luo Xiaotu was silent, as if he was hesitating.
"It's still worth trying."
He said.
Fang Xie snorted: "Ten percent is worth it, if you win the bet, then what you get is everything." If you lose the bet, you may or may not die, and the probability of not being able to do so is relatively large, and it is worth the gamble for that all. ”
Luo Xiaotu stood up and looked outside: "If you can kill the twenty-four armorers outside, I will let you go." I won't chase you within ten miles, you try to escape as fast as you can. I know you're not short of experts, but it takes at least a day to get from here to Mangdang Mountain. ”
"Stop"
Fang Xie looked at Luo Xiaotu and asked, "The biggest problem of ordinary arrogant people is self-righteousness...... You think you're in control, but you're missing the most important point. ”
"What is it?"
Luo Xiaotu asked.
Fang Xie pointed to his nose: "Why should I go?" Even if I killed Wen Xiaodao Luo Yao, I didn't punish me, which shows that my position in Luo Yao's heart is very important, so why should I go? I'm leaving, I'm going to face your pursuit, I won't go, I'll live comfortably for a month, and when Luo Yao comes back, you won't have a chance again. In fact, you don't have to wait for a month, and you will rush back early the day after tomorrow at the latest. With Ye Jinnan here, even if you jump over the wall in a hurry and want to kill me in the camp, you won't have a chance. ”
He smiled apologetically: "I didn't think of the right word, the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry and barely made do." ”
Luo Xiaotu's brows finally furrowed, he looked at Fang Xie and said seriously: "You're right, I actually forgot such an important point, and I actually decided that you were bound to run away just by feeling." ”
"You feel right."
Fang Xie drank the last sip of wine: "I really want to leave, just according to what you said, it will start counting before dawn tomorrow, and until it gets dark is the time when you can kill me." Ten miles is what you said, of course, you can also regret it. ”
"I want to know why you accepted it."
Luo Xiaotu asked.
"Because I want to every one of your arrogant Rohmen Ten with all their self-confidence, is that enough?"
Fang Xie asked with a smile.
