Chapter 687: Brothers are alike

The climate in southern Xinjiang is far more comfortable than that of Fangu in the northwest, bitter cold in the northwest and warm in the southwest, but the biggest trouble in Baishui City is that when it is hot, those snakes, insects, rats and ants begin to wreak havoc, and the Su people are the best at using poison, and the soldiers must always be careful whether they will be calculated by the Su people.

Standing on the wall of Whitewater City, Fang Xie looked at the jungle in the distance and stood for a while.

Now he has too many things to think about, and he is the kind of person who has to think about everything before he is ready, and he is especially tired.

"Kirin, I want to ask you something."

Fang Xie asked softly.

The burly and sturdy Qilin stood behind Fang Jie, as solid as a mountain. Hearing Fang Xie ask himself, he recovered from his stunned state and smiled apologetically: "What's the matter?" ”

"It's been a long time since I've asked the night owl about them, and I haven't seen them since the last time they asked them to help go to Jiangnan to protect Wu Yinyu's return."

"They...... Very good. ”

Qilin was slightly stunned for a moment, and then smiled a little bitterly: "After they came back from Jiangnan, I met with the big dog and drank wine together in Chang'an City. I asked the night owl what he planned to do in the future, and he said that this was a good job to protect people, the income was good, and he was already familiar with the way, so he planned to start a dart game. He said that as long as he didn't meet an employer like you, he should make money. He said that when he had saved enough money in the future, he would walk the same path again. ”

Fang Xie also smiled: "Yes, I guess they won't be able to meet an employer like me." ”

Qilin said: "I drank a lot of wine that day, and the night owl lay on the table and cried, snapping his fingers to count how many people there were at the beginning, and how many people are left now, crying and laughing, saying that it was really fucking good to survive in the end." I said we should still be together and take care of each other. He said forget it, live his own life, more than ten years of wind and waves, enough. ”

"And then you parted?"

Fang asked.

"Hmm"

Qilin nodded: "I didn't separate until the restaurant closed, and when I went out, the night owl couldn't even walk steadily." He is known for his light skills, which are better than the light skills of big dogs. After we went out to the east and they went west, I hugged my fists and said goodbye, and the night owl spat and said no. ”

"Later, I learned that they really planned to open a dart game, and the big dog and I secretly greeted the people from the Yamen of Chang'an City, and we were able to help with this. I'm sorry, we didn't tell you about this, because we were afraid that you would feel uncomfortable. ”

"It's good."

Fang Xie glanced at the copper stick that Qilin was carrying in his hand, and remembered the bloody man's horizontal stick.

"Kirin, have you ever thought about what you will do in the future?"

"Me?"

Qilin shook his head: "I didn't think about it, it's good to follow you." I've been used to it for so many years, I'll go wherever you go, and I'm at ease. ”

Fang Xie was silent for a while and said, "This time I plan to use troops against Nanyan because I know that there is still a knot in the big dog's heart that cannot be untied. At the beginning, Murong Yan snatched the identity of the crown prince from the hands of their two brothers, and also robbed Nanyan's country. Although the big dog has been saying that he has forgotten that he is the prince, it can be seen that he has never forgotten to return to the country. The big dog has said before that he has always advised his younger brother not to cling to the ethereal and illusory ideal of recovering the country, but if he was really so determined, he would not have stopped his brother all the time. ”

"If the big dog becomes the emperor, it will be a really good thing."

Fang Xie looked outside the city and muttered: "Help the big dog kill Murong Yan and take back what should belong to their brother, after the big dog becomes the emperor of Nanyan, as long as I am still in the Central Plains, I can ensure that his country will not fall." If you feel tired, you can stay in Dali City. ”

Fang Xie glanced back at Qilin: "I've been thinking about what kind of glory and wealth I can give you, thinking about it, I found that nothing is as good as the four words of harmony and beauty." After breaking Nanyan, I will slaughter all the families of Nanyan, so that the big dog will not have any worries. Then leave a team for him, so that the throne can be guaranteed. ”

"Follow me, I am afraid that there will be many great dangers in the future, but I will not be able to protect you all without negligence. The scenery of Dali city is good, and it should be very comfortable to live. ”

Qilin was stunned and shook his head: "I really haven't thought about it." ”

"Think about it now."

Fang Xie smiled at Qilin: "Give you time." ”

Kirin snorted, then looked down at the stick in his hand.

After a long while, Qilin suddenly sighed: "What you said just now, I thought about it carefully, it is indeed beautiful. Staying in Dali City, the big dog is the emperor, does he dare to let me live a hard life? When the time comes, the clothes will reach out and open their mouths, and then find a few women who are like flowers and jade to accompany them, which is really beautiful. But...... I didn't feel like it was the life I wanted. ”

Qilin looked back at the pro-soldiers: "I found that I have become accustomed to the life in the barracks, drinking and eating meat with those rabbit cubs, fighting with knives on the battlefield, drinking and fighting in my spare time, happy!" ”

"Whatever you want"

Fang Xie nodded: "Where is the big dog?" ”

"Just now he said that he was going to go out of the city, probably to see his brother. His younger brother got a teaching, and a while ago he joined forces with the Su people to attack Pingshang Road, and after being flattened by our Black Flag Army, his sect was seriously damaged. Actually, the big dog is quite painful, caught between you and his brother. ”

"Hmm"

Fang Xie snorted: "It's okay to let the big dog persuade his brother, his brother's obsession is much heavier than his, because of this obsession, so he does things more extremely." This time, I helped the big dog attack Nanyan, and his younger brother shouldn't have anything to think about. ”

When he said this, Fang Xie was suddenly stunned: "Chen Xiaoru! ”

He shouted violently: "Gather all the riding schools and go find the big dog!" ”

……

……

"I forgot about it!"

Fang Xie muttered to himself in annoyance, and then jumped down from the city wall, falling from the two-zhang high city wall, like a big bird. In mid-air, he whistled, and the white lion, who had been asleep in the city gate, opened his eyes violently, and then jumped up with a bang and rushed out of the city gate.

When Fang Xie fell, he landed right on the white lion.

"I don't know if you have a good nose, but I need you to help me find the big dog right now."

Fang Xie patted the white lion, and the white lion nodded as if he understood, and then rushed out along the official road to the north. Not long after one man and one lion left, the cavalry of the Xiao Cavalry School of the rear brigade rushed out of the city, with black armor and red cloaks, as if the fire clouds were flying forward against the ground.

The white lion had been lying on its stomach at the gate of the city, and it must have seen the big dog out of the city, so it ran straight to the north, and it did not stop to smell it. Not long after the big dog left, there was still a special smell on his body in the air, and ordinary lions may not be able to catch this faint breath, but chaos can.

After all, the taste of the leather robe on the big dog is very special. In comparison, Chaos is no ordinary beast.

Fang Jie's brows were furrowed, and his eyes were full of urgency.

"Don't get an accident"

He muttered to himself.

The wind whistled past his ears, and the white lion ran as if it had left the ground, and from a distance it looked as if it was flying against the ground.

……

……

After the combined forces of the Southern Yan and the Su people marched north, most of the villages and towns in Pingshang Road were almost destroyed. The county towns with strong walls were preserved, but ten percent of the villages where the people passed were burned down. And unlike the Su people, although the Southern Yan army did not kill many people, they plundered more ruthlessly, they not only wanted money and food, but also people.

Therefore, on the ground from Yongzhou to the south, there are almost no people to see. This military disaster far surpasses any disaster in the Yongzhou area for thousands of years. Even when the plague was epidemic in the Shang Kingdom, there were not as many people who died as this time. It was originally a land of fish and rice, but now it is only full of devastation.

According to preliminary estimates, the total number of people killed by the Su people and the people taken by the Nanyan people exceeded 2 million. And at least this number of people fled and left, which is equivalent to the loss of most of the people in Pingshangdao.

What was once a prosperous and prosperous land has become a barren land.

Not long after the end of the war, most of the people who fled have not yet returned, so it looks particularly desolate.

There was a small village about fifteen miles from Whitewater, and all the houses had been destroyed. It rained a while ago, but it couldn't wash away the desolation of the village.

In a small courtyard with only bare gray and black walls, the big dog squatted on the ground and smoked his pipe. Dressed in a white robe, the chasing merchant stood a few meters away from him, his head bowed, as if he was preoccupied.

"You don't seem to be happy."

After a long silence, the big dog said a word.

The chasing merchant didn't know what he was thinking, but he was frightened by the big dog's words and trembled slightly: "No...... No, it's just that my heart is a little uneasy, and I think of those hard days in the past. Now that General Fang has promised to help Big Brother restore your rivers and mountains, how can I be unhappy? In the future, when the eldest brother becomes the emperor, I will try my best to assist you, eldest brother. ”

"Murong Lian"

The big dog barked suddenly.

Caught up and was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "It's been a long time since I've heard this name called, and when I heard it suddenly, I didn't realize that you were calling me." ”

"Murong Zheng"

Chasing Shang looked at the big dog: "This name is much better than what big dog and what Shang hates." ”

The big dog smiled: "I'm wondering, can I be a good emperor." ”

The corners of Chaishang's mouth couldn't help but tremble, and the muscles on his face twitched: "Yes...... I remember when I was a child, my father said more than once that you were better than him. His father knew how to be a good emperor, but he couldn't control himself, he was obsessed with landscapes and calligraphy. He wanted to live forever, but in the end he died without a body...... Big brother, you will definitely do well, better than anyone else. ”

"Actually, to be honest, you are more suitable to be an emperor than me."

The big dog said with a smile: "However, I can't give you this emperor yet, you are too ruthless, if the general destroys Nanyan, I will be the emperor for a few years first, stabilize it, and then give you the throne." You are too radical, do things under me for a few years, collect your temperament, and in a few years you will be much older, and I will rest assured that the throne will be handed over to you at that time. I also went to find a group of my fox friends and dog friends to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, and you sit in your Jinluan Palace to feed the people. ”

Chasing Shang was obviously stunned for a moment, and then smiled self-deprecatingly: "Me? We are big merchants, and the throne has always been passed on to the eldest son. ”

He took a deep breath, and then slowly walked to the big dog's side: "We two brothers, we are still similar in appearance, and even our voices are almost the same, but you are older than me, big brother." Look at so many wrinkles on your face, it turns out that time flies so quickly. ”

"yes"

The big dog stood up and habitually hugged the shoulders of the chasing businessman: "You and I are indeed very similar, if you are older, you can dress up as me without disguise." ”

"Hmm"

Chaser nodded, and there was a strange flash in his eyes: "Yes, I still need to be a little older." ”
