Chapter 342: Those Demons and Monsters

When Shen Tianfan expressed his worries, Fang Jie's reaction was not at all beyond his expectations. Fang Xie didn't believe that the big dog would do anything to be sorry for him, although he himself knew that this kind of blind trust was never a good thing for him.

But people are so stubborn sometimes, so stubborn that they will insist on knowing that they are wrong.

Whether it is in his past life or in this life, Fang Xie has heard too much of the argument that those who have become big things should doubt everything, and he has also heard too much of the argument that the heroes want to deny their relatives, but he always firmly believes that it is impossible for people to be the most solid, only the relationship of interests is the strongest. This is also the reason why he wanted to meddle in Wu Yiyi's affairs in the capital, and why he never forgot Fan Gu's 3,000 lives.

After listening to Shen Tianfan's words, Fang Xie just shook his head: "I can trust the big dog." ”

Six words, but so certain.

Shen Tianfan smiled: "I knew you would say this, otherwise you would not be the solution." ”

Fang Xie leaned over and smelled the fragrance of her hairline: "Is this praising me?" ”

Shen Tianfan's face flushed slightly, dodging Fang Jie's teasing eyes. She brushed the drooping hair on her forehead and diverted the subject: "What are you going to do?" If Luo Yao is really the person back then, how would you deal with the relationship between him and you? ”

"I don't know"

Fang Jie's answer was full of helplessness: "Even if I am sure that Luo Yao is the one who arranged everything back then, I don't know if I can count him as an enemy just like that." I can think of this for your sake, but for my own sake, I find that I can't bring up much hatred at all. If he threatens you for my life, should I kill him? ”

When he said these words, Shen Tianfan could feel the pain in Fang Jie's heart.

Only then did she suddenly realize that it was not her own background that relieved her pain, but whether he could help herself and Mu Xiaoxiao take this breath. If that person had arranged all this to protect Fang Jie, then he was Fang Jie's benefactor. But...... No matter what the reason, he is the enemy of himself and Mu Xiaoyi.

If there was no such person, he would still be practicing on the grinding mountain.

If there was no such person, the thirty or so people would have had their own stable lives.

For more than a decade, most of the people have died.

Shen Tianfan knew Fang Jie's feelings for himself and Mu Xiaowaist, and it was precisely because this feeling was too deep that Fang Xie would be in pain.

"Maybe I should thank that person, if he hadn't arranged this path for me to encounter too many tribulations, maybe my cultivation progress wouldn't be so fast."

Shen Tianfan smiled, and when he said this, he was very gentle.

Fang Xie looked at her and shook his head: "Although you are very cute when you tell lies, you say it too reluctantly...... What I am anxious to know is not my own background, it has been seventeen years and I don't know where I came from, but it doesn't affect my continued life, even if I don't know it for the rest of my life. ”

"But you're different."

Fang Xie said lightly: "For your sake, I must find out what this person's purpose is, if it is only for his selfish desires, then it will naturally be easy to do, and there is no need to be polite when I can kill him." If it's for me...... So ......"

Fang Xie didn't continue, but Shen Tianfan understood what he meant.

If that person had arranged all this for his own selfish gain, then he was the common enemy of Fang Xie and himself. If that person is for Fang Jie, then Fang Xie can't retaliate against anything, he can only carry this hatred on his own and pay off the debt for that person.

felt this heaviness, so Shen Tianfan's heart also became heavy.

"I don't have to kill him, maybe it's more important than revenge."

She stretched out her hand and gently stroked Fang Jie's cheek: "You can carry everything for us, why can't we give up everything for you?" In fact, this is not a very difficult choice, only a fool would give up the future because of the past. No matter how painful the past is, it can't negate that the future is full of happiness, isn't it? ”

"That's a good statement."

Fang Xie pulled Shen Tianfan over and hugged her and sat on his lap: "Sometimes I can't help but think, why can't I pursue that kind of quiet and peaceful life." Find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to live in seclusion, grow your own vegetables and raise some chickens and ducks, and think about whether to fertilize the crops in the field or feed the livestock every day...... After the hen lays eggs, she worries about whether an omelette should be eaten for you or for Sister Xiaoyi, not because of some bullshit national event. ”

"Watching the sun rise and set every day, having a few children with you and teaching them to read and write, although my handwriting is ugly, it is enough for the children to grow up to be a reasonable person."

He smiled self-deprecatingly: "Not because of greed? ”

Shen tilted his cheek against Fang Jie's cheek: "I remember you said that greed is the eternal driving force for human beings to strive for progress. ”

"I'm too selfish."

Fang Xie kissed Shen Tianfan's forehead: "I know that the pursuit of women and men is completely different, what women want may just be enough to live a peaceful and stable life with the person they love, they don't need to be rich and rich, they don't need gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin, and growing old together has nothing to do with power and status." ”

But men are always very selfish and want to give their women a better life, even if it is just an extra piece of meat in their daughter-in-law's bowl than in the next woman's bowl at dinner every day. Your daughter-in-law can be neither beautiful nor slim, but she can't be cheaper than the shabby clothes worn by the woman next door. A man without a woman has no reason not to be upright, and a man with a woman of his own has no reason to do nothing. ”

He was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath.

"Give me a few years, and then I can give you a truly stable life."

Shen Tian also kissed him on the cheek, and then said with a bright smile: "Don't you know that women are always proud of their men's anger?" Don't you know that a woman will be so happy that she will shed tears because she has an extra piece of meat in the bowl than the woman next door? Don't you know that women won't regret it because of men's pampering and indulgence, even if they eat the fat body they hated the most before? ”

"When you're tired......"

She leaned into his arms and whispered, "Let's find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, raise some chickens and ducks, and grow some crops." Every day, Xiaoxiao and I may have other women, fighting and jealous over the egg you fryed, arguing every day about who should make your bed...... But you know, how can a waste have all this? ”

Fang Xie knew that Shen Tianfan was comforting him, but he couldn't deny those words.

……

……

Yongzhou is very large, although it is not comparable with Chang'an City, but it was still the imperial capital of a country more than 20 years ago, and its scale will naturally not be small. The height of the Yongzhou city wall is second only to Chang'an City in the Great Sui, and much higher than the imperial capital of Southern Chen. The procession stopped outside the Yongzhou City Gate, where there were quite a few officials waiting to welcome the arrival of the Qincha.

Fang Xie looked at this majestic city as he walked forward, and couldn't help but feel that this place had been transformed by Luo Yao into a huge bunker armed to the teeth.

There are bed crossbows every twenty steps on the city wall, and you can guess from the sunlight reflected by the ballista that these ballista cars are very well maintained on weekdays and can be used at any time. In comparison, Fang Xie suspected that several percent of the bed crossbows in Chang'an City had been aged...... It is precisely because Chang'an is too big and strong that people have been convinced that Chang'an City will not be breached by the army of any country for more than a hundred years, so it is inevitable that they will be slack.

The water in the moat is not muddy at all, which indicates that the river is regularly dredged.

The rivets on the suspension bridge look new, which indicates that they have been reinforced from time to time.

The soldiers defending at the gate of the city did not have much dust on them, indicating that the frequency of changing guards would not exceed an hour.

The soldiers often stood in a significantly more recessed position than in other places, indicating that no one had slackened over the years.

These things that are easy to be overlooked by people are very carefully explained.

A person's character can be inferred from some trivial things, and the things that can be thought of from such a strong defense measures as Yongzhou City make him feel a little ridiculous. Reasoning about what does it mean for a man to put ten locks on his door? It means that his heart is full of fear and uneasiness, afraid of the disaster that will come at any time. It means that he doesn't want to trust anyone, and those locks are just a kind of sustenance for him.

And Luo Yao built Yongzhou City into a huge fortress, is this any different from hanging ten locks on the door?

In a sense, no!

A great general who dominates one side, with an army of 400,000, can influence half of the country with his actions, and shake the court with his words and deeds...... How can such a person be a coward?

Fang Xie was thinking about these things in his heart, but he greeted the officials in Yongzhou with a smile on his face. Fang Jie, who is now familiar with such a scene, will not show timidity. When chatting with these people, Fang Xie found that their eyes always looked at Luo Yao inadvertently, which showed that these people were full of fear and awe for Luo Yao from the bottom of their hearts. It can be seen that Luo Yao's killing is not only killing the people and killing the barbarians, but also the officials may not kill less.

If it weren't for that, it would not have been possible to make those officials have so much real fear in their eyes.

Fang Jie's eyes are constantly capturing as many details as possible, trying their best to play the role of the eyes. Because he was sure that in this place of Yongzhou, it was impossible to learn too many useful things by ear. Yongzhou is like a huge private house belonging to Luo Yao, and it is impossible for the people in this house to say anything that is not beneficial to Luo Yao.

The decree has not yet been read because it is not in the right place.

If the decree involves his family, then the person who transmits the decree must say it in advance, and the official's family, wife, and children must also change into the most solemn clothes and kneel down with the official to listen to the decree.

Luo Yao basically rarely goes to his Southwest Garrison Mansion, and all military affairs are handled in his Great General's Mansion.

But today, he must take the order in the southwest garrison.

Changed into the Guogong unicorn suit, Luo Yao's momentum looked even more daring to look at him. Behind him, his wife Chu was wearing the court clothes of Mrs. Yipin, and her snow-white face was even more gloomy by the solemn clothes. Fang Xie was taken aback when he saw this woman, the biggest characteristic of this woman was that she didn't look a little angry, like a ghost in human skin walking under the blue sky and white sun.

Behind is Fang Jie's acquaintance, who almost killed his son Luo Wen in the martial arts arena.

In fact, Rowan still had murderous intent in his eyes when he looked at Fang Xie today.

Looking at the big family kneeling in front of him, Fang Xie couldn't help but have a strange thought in his heart. If he does not have this will in his hands, then the family kneeling down is like a demon who is asking for atonement...... So Fang Xie smiled, a little proud.
