Chapter 555: The Taste of Hometown
Liu He was speechless, with Fajie's martial arts, not only did he not support him, but he was already quite polite.
If Fajie, the fifth in the world, wants to sneak attack Liu He and take his life, unless there is the close protection of the ancestors of the Chen family day and night, Liu He has no chance of surviving at all.
"At the beginning, he wanted to seize power in Yizhou, not because he was greedy for power, but because he always believed that you and Zhuge Liang would not be in a corner of peace, and would be willing to stay in Yizhou for the rest of your life. But having said that, he never thought of killing you, and with the means he did, if he really wanted your life, even if he didn't know my identity at the time, he would have asked me to find someone to kill you. But he didn't do that, on the contrary, he seems to have expectations for you. I was only speculating about this matter before, and I couldn't confirm it, until that day, he sent someone to secretly find Hua Chi and ask him to come forward to relieve you of the siege, I was sure that he did have this intention. ”
"What did you say?" Liu He showed a look of disbelief, "You mean, Hua Chi was called by himself?" ”
Fajie nodded and said softly: "Not only did he send someone to inform Hua Chi, but he didn't even tell me about this matter." This shows that he doesn't want anyone to know about it, let alone anyone else, that he helped you. At first, I didn't understand his intentions, but I didn't understand it until I came to Xuchang. He wants to see what kind of status you have in the hearts of the people of Shudi, and whether you can support the entire Yizhou, and he wants to know more about whether he can entrust the affairs of his life to you. ”
"What happened after ...... death" Liu He subconsciously repeated.
At the beginning, he really wanted to find out everything about Fazheng, but when all the truth was laid out in front of him, he couldn't accept it for a while.
When he first arrived in Yizhou, he didn't have a particularly deep impression of Fazheng, in his opinion, Fazheng was just a well-known scholar in the local area.
Later, Fa Zheng proposed to purge Yizhou officialdom, Liu He accepted this proposal, and once regarded Fa Zheng as a trusted companion.
Later, Fa Zheng first stabbed twice, and then suddenly made a move, almost taking away the military power of Yizhou, Liu He at that time hated Fa Zheng so much that he gritted his teeth.
But now, that person Liu He hated so much wanted to entrust him with all the things after his death.
The relationship between the two can be described as ups and downs, and the gap is too big.
Fa Zheng deceived everyone and took almost everything from Liu He, but at the end of his life, he left the entire Yizhou to Liu He.
Liu He suddenly realized that if it weren't for Fazheng's original intention, no one would have been able to take Yizhou away from him, even if he and Zhuge Liang joined forces, Liu Beijun might not have been able to gain a firm foothold in Yizhou at the beginning.
Liu He was silent for a long time, and sighed heavily, "Fa Zheng...... What an unpredictable man......"
Fajie glanced at Liu He and said softly: "After seeing the thing in your hand, maybe you will know what kind of person he is." ”
Liu He peeled off the Jinpa layer by layer, and a bright red flower appeared in his palm.
He held the red flower in front of him and looked at it carefully.
"I seem to have seen this kind of flower outside Chengdu, what is it called......" Liu He closed his eyes and thought for a long time, but he couldn't think of the name of this flower.
Instead of a warning, Fajie squatted under the ancient tree and cut the soil with his hands.
Looking at the jar of wine that Fajie dug out from under the tree, Liu He couldn't help but be stunned.
The style of that kind of wine jar is only available in Yizhou, and the jar of wine in Fajie's hand is obviously brought from Yizhou before.
"This jar of wine, he invited you to drink," a smile of relief appeared on Fajie's face, "He asked me to tell you, chew a petal, and take a sip of wine, that taste ......"
Fajie smiled, but his eyes were red, "It's the taste of hometown......"
Liu He carefully pinched a petal and put it in his mouth.
A bitter taste instantly filled his mouth.
He endured the bitter taste, took the jar from Fajie's hand, tore open the mud, and took a big sip without saying a word, hoping only to use the wine to wash away the taste.
However, after drinking a sip of wine, an unbelievable look appeared on Liu He's face.
Not only is the bitterness gone, but the petals also exude a refreshing fragrance, and if you taste it carefully, you can taste a hint of sweetness on the tip of your tongue.
Liu He finally understood why Fa Zheng would say that this was the taste of his hometown.
When I left, I was bitter, and when I thought of Tian, this is my hometown.
Two men, under that towering ancient tree, you drank a jar of wine in one gulp.
The wine in my hometown is always so easy to get drunk, and a jar of wine actually makes both of them a little drunk.
Fajie shook his body, looked at the last petal left in Liu He's hand, and suddenly laughed, "Do you know, he brought two of these companions from Shudi, and he asked me to coat one of them with poison." Before leaving, he told me that he did not know which one was poisonous and which was not, and whether you could survive or not depends on your creation. Looks like you're in luck. ”
After Liu He heard this, his face showed a trace of bitterness, and he asked softly, "Has he always been like this?" ”
Fajie smiled and nodded, "It's always been like this, he's been like this since the first day I met him. is obviously a good person, but he has to pretend to be a bad person in front of others. ”
"He did that just to make others afraid of him......" Liu He said softly.
Fajie looked up at the crown of the ancient tree, "Only those who don't know the truth will be afraid of him, and when they hear that he is dead, they may applaud." But when you know everything......"
Although Fajie didn't continue, Liu He still knew what he wanted to say.
Liu He smiled and looked at the fifth in the world who was a little sentimental, "In the future, will I call you Fajie, or Lijie?" ”
"It's called Fajie," Fajie said without hesitation, "I've heard this name for a long time, and I'm used to it." ”
Liu He didn't say anything more, stood up, patted the dust on his body, and walked towards Xuchang City.
Fajie immediately caught up and walked side by side with Liu He.
"From today onwards, I will be under your orders," Fajie's expression was unusually firm, "what are we going to do now?" ”
Liu He stopped, turned around and smiled at Fajie, "Do what he wants to do, but he doesn't have time to do." ”
Outside Xuchang City, two people who were not born in Shu entered Xuchang again for the sake of Shu.
