On the official road back to Chang'an City from the martial arts field, Fang Jie, Zhang Qiang, Mo Xidao and Xie Fuyao rode side by side. Because today's competition is really tiring, Dean Zhou showed mercy and let the candidates ride back to Chang'an, of course, after entering the city, the horses must be returned to the Yanwu Academy.

Fang Xie didn't have to, and he didn't know how many people envied his red horse.

Xie Fuyao looked at Fang Xie and Zhang Madman Mo Washing the knife and laughed forward, and the laughter was mixed with vulgar words. He seemed a little curious about this kind of conversation, so he listened carefully. When Fang explained that they were happy, he would also purse his lips and laugh. It seems that Fang Xie is the three of them, and he is a shy chick.

Fang Xie glanced back at Xie Fuyao, and asked with a smile, "You are walking with the three of us, not afraid of being laughed at by others?" ”

Xie Fuyao thought for a while and replied seriously: "You said that you invited me to drink. ”

Fang Xie laughed, and seemed to like this answer very much: "I always thought that you would not want to go along because you felt that we were rude. You know that we border soldiers don't have a belly of knowledge, and some are just women who can't talk endlessly. Of course...... We've seen as many women as you have slept in. ”

Xie Fuyao shook his head awkwardly, still a little uncomfortable with this way of chatting.

"I ...... It's not ......"

"What's not?"

"Let's continue with your time in the border city, I love to hear stories like this."

Xie Fuyao didn't want to get entangled with Fang Xie on the topic of women.

"That's not the story!"

Mo Xidao snorted coldly, he is too straight, and he has a rejection of a famous son like Xie Fuyao in his bones. Even if they walked together, he didn't feel that he and Xie Fuyao were all the way. This contradiction is difficult to unravel, and even if there is no hatred, there is a gap that is difficult to overcome between soldiers from poor families and children of families.

Xie Fu was stunned for a moment, and after being silent for a while, he hugged his fists at Mo Xidao and said, "I'm sorry, I took the liberty of it." ”

This sentence is very sincere, and Mo Xidao is not hypocritical and polite when he hears it. The best thing the children of the family can do is duplicity, and there are many people who call the children of the poor family brothers, but there are few who can really afford the children of the poor family. Therefore, the sincerity in Xie Fuyao's tone is particularly valuable, but despite this, Mo Xidao still has no good impression of Xie Fuyao.

"The things we talk about are true, and maybe you only hear us laughing, but you don't know the bitterness in our hearts when we talk about them. The life of the border army is never something that people like you can understand, and the kind of feelings between us is not something you can understand. ”

He said.

Xie Fuyao nodded and said, "Perhaps, wait until I reach the frontier to experience your life." ”

"Why does Gongzi Xie want to go to the frontier? Three years later, there is no need to go to the frontier to suffer. As long as the grades are good, it is not difficult to enter the war service. ”

Zhang Yan asked with some curiosity.

Xie Fuyao urged the war horse to follow them up, he looked at the majestic wall of Chang'an City under the moonlight in front of him and said, "Since you are in the army, it is best to go to the frontier." You may think I'm being hypocritical, but that's what I do. Don't talk about the county soldiers in various places, the box soldiers in the prince's fiefdom, and even the sixteen guards of the Great Sui, these are not the places I want to go. Only the frontier...... is the place where soldiers should exist the most. ”

These words made Mo Xidao's opinion of him change a little, so the tone of his voice softened slightly: "The frontier is not what you think, if you can't adapt to the day when your comrades around you will leave you, and you don't know when you will die in battle, it's best not to go to the frontier." Entering the Martial Arts Academy may only be a way for you to advance to the ranks, so you don't really have to think of yourself as a soldier. ”

Xie Fuyao shook his head slowly and said, "I'm different from those people you said...... In your opinion, there should be no difference between me and other children of the family, but in fact...... I'm different from them, and I think I should be closer to you than I am."

"Why?"

Zhang asked madly.

Xie Fuyao opened his mouth, but finally did not explain: "It's nothing." ”

Mo Xidao didn't like this kind of slurring speech, so he simply stopped looking at him and said with a smile: "I've been watching you compete in the martial arts arena today, Fang Jie, you really fight for our candidates from the border army!" I've already discussed it with others before I come out, and everyone will pool their money to find a better restaurant to invite you to drink! The brothers who starred in the martial arts field in advance have already made arrangements, and we won't get drunk tonight! ”

"Tonight...... No way. ”

"Why?!"

Mo Xidao asked in surprise.

"Brother Mo, you also heard it just now, I first agreed to invite Gongzi Xie to drink. The most important thing in our border army is faithfulness, and we can't go back on our word, right? ”

Mo Xidao's face changed and he said angrily: "What? When you meet a famous son, you feel embarrassed to drink with us?! ”

As soon as this sentence came out, the atmosphere immediately froze. Fang Xie shook his head with a wry smile, looked at Mo Xidao and explained, "Brother Mo, you know that I am not ......"

"Brother Mo!"

Zhang Mad said on the side: "This is indeed your mistake, Fang Xie is such a person?" ”

Mo Xidao's face was a little ugly and speechless, and after walking in silence for a while, he slowly shook his head and sighed: "Fang Jie, I'm sorry...... I don't know what's wrong, after coming back from Dongchu, my personality has become more and more irritable......"

Before he could finish his sentence, several figures suddenly rushed out of the woods by the roadside. The man who appeared first was dressed in a very wide robe, and seemed to be carrying a man in his hand. Behind him, at least five or six people chased after him like lightning. When Fang Xie was stunned, the person who rushed out first had already arrived in front of them.

Without warning, the man grabbed Fang Xie from his horse, and his figure flashed to the side!

……

……

Fang Xie only felt a trance in front of him, and his body was lifted up from the horse's back by the man. The wind blew so fast in his ears that he couldn't even open his eyes. He heard an exclamation from the arrogant ones, and before he could speak, he felt a pain in his lower abdomen, and felt a hand sucking his stomach like a sucker.

When he felt the wind disappear, he opened his eyes and looked over, and found that it was an old monk who grabbed him with one hand!

"Aren't you Buddhas preaching some kind of compassion? Don't you feel shameless about catching a teenager as a shield? ”

When Fang Xie heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and looked over along the voice, and found that he knew several of the people who chased him!

Mr. Zhuo of the Ouchi Guards, Qiu Yu, a female professor of the Martial Arts Academy, and Yan Qing. Standing on the other side was a middle-aged man in a big red robe, Fang Xie had seen this person. Before entering Chang'an City, he and Shen Tianfan sat on a big tree and saw that this great priest used his cultivation to point out a big pit and trap the bull.

Opposite the red-robed Grand Priest was an old man in a blue robe. Carrying a broken sword in his hand, Fang Xie had never seen this person.

And when he saw the last person, Fang Xie couldn't help but let out a low cry in his heart.

Madame?!

He almost shouted, but in the end he forced himself back. He didn't know the situation, he didn't want this old monk of unknown origin to realize that he and Mr. Zhuo knew each other. It's not a good thing to be someone else's hostage now, and it's even worse if the person who captures him knows that he knows that he still knows the person who is chasing him.

Obviously, the proprietress Du Hongxian couldn't help but be taken aback when she saw Fang Jie. But soon, she regained her composure and pretended not to know the solution. Zhuo Buyi and the others were the same, no one was willing to call Fang Jie's name at this time.

It was Jiangnan Xie Fuyao who caught up a little later than Zhuo Buyi, followed by Mo Xidao, and finally arrogant.

Seven or eight people surrounded the old monk.

"You guys stand down, it's not a situation you can handle."

Yan Qing glanced at Xie Fuyao and ordered.

Xie Fuyao was obviously also surprised, although he didn't know most of the people surrounding the old monk, he recognized that two of them were professors from the Yanwu Academy, and one was a red-robed great priest of the Taoist Sect. It is conceivable that the cultivation of a person of such an identity is high, and so many masters besiege an old monk, isn't it a bit outrageous that the cultivation of the old monk is so high? Only one red-robed great priest is already the top figure in the Great Sui rivers and lakes, and the cultivation of others is not necessarily much weaker than him. How terrible is it for such a few people with amazing cultivation to join forces to deal with one person?

Thinking of this, Xie Fuyao did not retreat.

"He's our friend."

Xie Fuyao replied lightly but firmly, and did not show that he knew Yanqing and them.

"Shameless!"

The old man in the royal blue robe was leaving, and he pointed his broken sword at the old monk's nose and said angrily: "The people of the Buddha Sect are really so shameless, threatening the lives of innocent people, is this the same thing as the Buddha's will you preach on weekdays?!" ”

The old monk shook his head and said, "He is not an innocent person. ”

He didn't look at Fang Jie, but just slowly raised Fang Xie up and said word by word: "You Sui people are all demons, King Ming is merciful, but you are only merciful to the world, why should you be merciful to demons?" ”

But just as he lifted the solution, his face suddenly changed. I don't know why, he subconsciously glanced at Chenya. And when he saw the surprise in Chenya's eyes, he seemed to have found the answer.

Ignoring the curses of the people who left the martyrdom, the old monk slowly put Fang Xie on the ground. He glanced sideways at Fang Xie and muttered, "This is the chance?" ”

"Master...... Kill him......"

The eyes of the dusty man covered in blood were full of hatred, and he couldn't dissolve it strongly. But Fang Xie didn't remember that he knew this guy, and he didn't even remember that he had seen this blood gourd. He didn't understand why this person had such a strong hatred for himself, but when he saw the bald head of the old monk, he suddenly understood.

"What a coincidence"

The old monk sighed slightly.

Fang Xie snorted and said, "It's really a coincidence, it's delicious." ”

"Huh?"

The old monk was stunned, not understanding what Fang Jie's words meant. Of course, no one understands this advertising phrase except Fang Jie.

Just when the old monk was surprised, Fang Xie suddenly made a move. The knife in his left hand slashed out at an incredible angle. After the competition, he had already received the broken knife that the old lame man had given him, and placed it within reach of his waist. This knife is the fastest knife that Fang Xie has ever chopped out in his life, and it is also the most mature knife since he learned the one-style knife.

He didn't split the old monk, but the dust.

This kind of attack was by no means a decision made in a panic, he knew that since so many masters besieged this old monk, the old monk must be amazingly strong, and he was not sure whether his left-handed knife could hurt the old monk. But I have some confidence in hurting the blood gourd, after all, that guy can't even stand still.

The accident suddenly changed, and the old monk's subconscious palm sent Fang Xie Zhen flying out. Then the other hand threw Chenya to the side, but it was still a little slower, and Fang Jie's blade left a slight wound on Chenya's body, although it was not heavy, but for the old monk's cultivation, it was obviously unexpected for Fang Xie to succeed.

"I actually forgot, it's pointless to restrain your dantian qi sea."

The old monk shook his head and sighed, a little distracted.

Almost at the same time, four figures jumped together. The two professors of the Yanwu Academy, Mr. Zhuo, both jumped up and wanted to use Fang Jie. But the fastest of them turned out to be the beautiful young woman wearing a very rustic blue cloth dress.

The proprietress of the Fan Gu dog meat shop caught Fang Xie in mid-air. couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "You fucking are looking for your own death!" ”

Fang Xie was caught under the armpit by the proprietress and felt the softness of her chest, and even sniffed before fainting, and said a good fragrance very happily.

And at this time, the other five masters sent the strongest blow to the old monk at the same time. The old monk's face turned pale, and he put Chenya behind him and folded his hands. A brilliant white lotus suddenly appeared, as if it was blooming in his body. The five-petal lotus flower looks exceptionally pure and beautiful.

With a bang, the attacks of the five masters slammed into the five-petal lotus flower.

The white lotus shook, and finally overwhelmed it and shattered suddenly. The petals drifted away like rain, and when I looked at it again, there was no trace of the old monk.
