Chapter 732: Everything is for the sake of the Great Sui

A killing outside the city didn't seem to make Fang Jie's heart quiet. When he returned to Dingyuan City, he was still carrying the Chaolu knife in his hand, and on the blood-soaked blade, the killing intent was still so strong. The pro-soldiers escorted the captives into the city, and the carriage, which had not yet had time to be placed, was pulled directly into the city.

The three foreigners who were captured kept looking at the black-robed man walking with his head slightly hanging in front of him in fear, and no matter how he looked at it, he felt that it was not a person.

How can a man use a fire dragon as a weapon?

How can a man bounce a bullet off with a blade?

"The general seems to be very melancholy"

Chen Xiaoru kicked a procrastinating prisoner back into the ranks, looking at Fang Jie's back, he always felt that today's general looked so lonely. Chen Xiaoru didn't know what kind of emotions could affect the general like this, but such a quiet general made people extremely scared, and even he felt scared.

The defenders of Dingyuan City held the prisoners well, and selected more than a dozen officers to take them all into the other general's mansion, including the three surviving foreigners, perhaps because they didn't understand the solution, it seems that they are less afraid than the Nanyan people.

Fang Xie sat down in a chair and placed the Chaolu knife on the table in front of him.

He took out his pocket watch and looked at it, and then said to the foreigner standing in the front: "Give you five minutes to explain the purpose of your coming and the purpose of the forces behind you." ”

The shopkeeper of the goods company hurriedly translated, the foreigner didn't seem to think that there was any threat in Fang Jie's tone, or that Fang Jie's delicate face made his previous fear weaken, so he shook his head and didn't speak. Fang Xie picked up the Chaolu knife from the table, and then split the foreigner into two pieces with one sword.

He pointed at the second foreigner with his Chaolu knife: "Now it's for you." ”

The second foreigner was a bearded man, and he really didn't expect this Han man to be so violent, so he only asked a question, and then turned his companion into two corpses with a single sword. The smell of blood and stench from the internal organs rushed into his nose and then directly into his brain.

He looked at the puddle of flesh and blood, and it didn't take long for him to start vomiting violently.

Fang Xie waited for him to vomit until there was nothing to vomit, and gently tapped his fingers on the table as he retched the yellow water there. The bearded man shuddered in fright and subconsciously took a step back.

"We ...... We are the people of the Rus' principality. ”

He wiped the corners of his mouth with trembling hands and said, "I came to Nanyan on the order of the general to assist the Nanyan army in resisting your army." We know it's wrong, and now it's your captive...... No, your servant. I'm willing to tell you everything I know, and I just hope that you will give us hope to live. ”

Fang Xie waited for the shopkeeper of the goods to pass the world and said after translating: "Everyone will have a chance to survive, whether to give it to me or not, to say it or not." ”

"A long time ago, the emperor of Chu sent people to contact the Grand Duke of Rus, hoping to use the power of the Grand Duke of Rus to join forces to wage war against the Sui State and regain the land that was robbed by the Sui State. However, the Grand Duke of Rus was not very enthusiastic, and although he received many gifts from the Emperor of Chu, he was unwilling to let the army leave the Duchy of Rus. ”

The bearded man gathered his thoughts for a moment and began to speak.

"Since the fall of the Aegean Empire, although the Opru Empire did not continue to attack, but recognized the status of the princes, everyone knows that the Opru Empire is simply a beast, it is just tired of the war with the Aegean Empire and needs to rest. When it rests, the ending will be the same. So Grand Duke Rus wanted to leave the army by his side, at least there was a chance to escape. ”

"This matter has been delayed for a long time, and although the envoys of the State of Chu kept looking for Grand Duke Rus, he still did not agree. Later, he couldn't delay it anymore, so he decided to send six mages over, which could be regarded as a favor for Chu State. Grand Duke Ross thought that it would be no problem for the six mages to help Chu kill some people. ”

"Later, I don't know how the Opru Empire found out about this, and sent people to the Principality of Rus to urge the Grand Duke of Rus to send troops. Grand Duke Rus thought that the Opru Empire was about to attack, and he did not dare to send troops. So it didn't take long for him to be assassinated. ”

"How do you know so much?"

Fang asked.

After translating, the bearded man said with some sadness: "I am the close guard of the Grand Duke of Rus, and I saw the assassination of Grand Duke Russ with my own eyes, and I saw him fall in front of me...... Not long afterward, the Rus Empire sent an army to take over the Rus' principality. Then the general began to make direct contact with the people of the Chu State, and I don't know much about what happened later. After the death of the Grand Duke of Rus, we became slaves and were reviled by others. ”

"Originally, we didn't want to come here, but the people of the Opru Empire will kill all our families because we don't come."

"How many of you came?"

"Five hundred people, most of them are in Dali City."

The bearded man was afraid that Fang Xie would not believe it, and when he spoke, he unconsciously gestured with his hands: "The Rus principality is not strong, even in the original Aegean Empire, it can only be regarded as a second-rate principality, and the army has never exceeded three thousand. However, the Duchy of Rus was the musket depot of the Aegean Empire, and because of its iron ore and a large number of workshops, half of the muskets used by the Aegean Empire to equip the army were made from the Duchy of Rus. ”

"So, although we only came with five hundred, we brought at least five thousand muskets."

"Where's the artillery?"

Fang asked.

The bearded man seemed to be a little surprised by Fang Jie's understanding of artillery, and after a glance at Fang Jie, he replied: "The firearms of the Aegean Empire are still relatively backward, because of the corruption of the empire, no one has continued to study the evolution of firearms, so there is no powerful artillery at all. The artillery brought this time, provided by the Opru Empire, is very powerful, and it is equipped with two types of shells. ”

"Two?"

"Yes, one is a shell with average explosive power, but very penetrating power. The other is that after the explosion is opened, there will be a series of shells exploded by firearms, which are very lethal. ”

"The ...... of the Opru Empire"

Fang Xie muttered, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes.

Sui army camp

The tiger leaned against a low wall and looked at the river in the distance, the fog was misty, and it was difficult to see clearly. Luo Tu's rebels have all withdrawn to Jiangnan, so it can be seen that Luo Tu and those in Jiangnan Tonggu Academy must have reached some agreement. Otherwise, his army would not have been able to enter Jiangnan so easily. When Luo Yao led his troops into Jiangnan, Tonggu Academy did not stop them, because they knew that Luo Yao would leave soon, but now it is different, Luo Tu needs a foothold.

The Sui army camped on the north side of the Yangtze River, but they did not dare to get too close.

Luo Tu's rebels had a water division in their hands, which was much larger than the Sui army's water division, and after the Yangtze River water division was split, the strongest part was taken away by Wang Yiqu and rebelled with Gao Kaitai in the northwest. The second part was subdued by Luo Yao and became a rebel sailor. A small part returned to the imperial court, but its strength was really limited. The smallest part is under the side of the solution, and the combat power is not as good as 20% of Wang Yiqu's water army.

Now you can cruise back and forth on the north bank in front of the imperial navy, and as long as you move more to the south, you will be beaten by Luo Tu's rebel sailors. Since Luo Tu retreated into Jiangnan, the power of the water division seems to have become stronger.

But Flutter Tiger wasn't in the mood to think about it now, his mind was full of the ironclad general. He didn't believe that Yang Jian would kill the little emperor, he firmly believed that the eldest brother was still the same as the eldest brother two hundred years ago. The little emperor is his descendant, his descendants, how could he kill the little emperor?

The eldest brother once told him that he was here to defend the Yang family. He will not take away the throne of the little emperor, and when the Quartet is pacified, the eldest brother will take him away. Isn't this a good ending, but why did there be so many changes when I just left Chang'an City?

No matter what happened, Flutter Tiger never wavered in his trust in his big brother.

Since their father passed away, the only one in this world who has been good to him is the eldest brother. Even the second brother, who fought side by side at the beginning, was reluctant to be too close to the tiger because of his character. The eldest brother is generous, the second brother is uninhibited, and he is withdrawn. This time back to this bright world, the character of the tiger has changed a lot. Maybe it's because Dugu has only been accompanied by an old scalper for nearly two hundred years, so after he came out, he became a lot more cheerful when he saw so many living people.

In any case, he did not believe that the generous big brother would poison his descendants.

Before the eldest brother fell asleep, he had a long conversation with him.

That scene echoed in the tiger's mind from time to time.

Under the dim light, Yang Jian, who was obviously much older, leaned back in the chair, although his body looked old, but there was a look in his eyes that surprised the tiger. It was a light of hope, and the tiger saw in Yang Jian's eyes the hope that an old man should not have.

"Fighting the Tiger"

"Huh?"

"What if after my death, the descendants of the Yang family are not capable of protecting this empire?"

Yang Jian asked.

After thinking about it very seriously, Flutter Tiger replied: "That's the matter of the descendants of the Yang family, why should you bother because of this, big brother." You should trust your descendants to keep this empire going. ”

"But I'm afraid"

Yang Jian said: "I am afraid that the empire I have worked so hard to build will collapse, and I am afraid that the descendants of the people I have killed will take revenge." So, if there is an opportunity for me to live immortal and protect this empire, do you think I should seize the opportunity? ”

"Immortal?"

Fluttering Tiger was stunned for a moment, and didn't think that this could really happen, so he replied very casually: "If there is really such an opportunity, of course it is good." But who can escape the cycle of life and death? ”

"You say yes, that's good."

Yang Jian smiled, and then said to Fighting Tiger: "So, are you willing to help me and always protect this empire and my descendants?" ”

"Yes!"

The tiger replied quickly, because there was no doubt about it.

"I beg you to do yes."

Yang Jian pointed to a porcelain bottle on the table: "That's the elixir prepared by the old dean himself, if you are willing to help me, eat it." The old dean will find a way to put me into a deep sleep, never die, and when the Great Sui is in crisis, I will wake up and save the Great Sui. But I need someone to keep watch over me and wake me up at critical times, are you willing? After taking these pills, there will be some changes in your body, the aging of the body will almost stop, and you can live for many years. ”

"Huh?"

Fluttering Tiger was stunned for a moment: "What kind of medicine is this?" ”

"It should be said...... It's Gu. ”

Yang Jian said slowly: "In this bottle, there are fifteen pills, swallow one every twenty years. Because the Gu that sustains your body only has a lifespan of twenty years, you must eat a new Gu before the Gu dies. I can bear it with your cultivation, but I can't...... If I swallow this elixir, I am afraid that I will be eaten back and die immediately. ”

"Good!"

Fluttering Tiger agreed almost without hesitation: "I'll guard the eldest brother, I'll wake you up......"

Yang Jian took the hand of the tiger and said excitedly: "Our brothers worked together to create the Great Sui, and our brothers will work together to maintain this Great Sui." I know you're going to help me, and you're always going to help me. Together, you and I are watching over this empire and my children and grandchildren. It's like a big umbrella to shield them from the rain and snow. ”

"Big brother!"

When he thought of this, he suddenly felt something strange around him, and when he looked up, he found that Yang Jian didn't know when he was standing beside him.

"Flutter Tiger, do you remember what you promised me?"

Yang Jian asked.

Flutter Tiger nodded: "Remember! ”

Yang Jian snorted: "Then believe me, everything I do is for the sake of the Great Sui." ”

"Good!"

Fluttering Tiger nodded again, holding back all the doubts. It seems that it has always been like this, whatever the eldest brother says, he agrees unconditionally. But this time, even he didn't notice it, and before he could say the word, he hesitated, though it was so short.
