Chapter 381: You're Not Scared

There is a crooked-necked weeping willow in the easternmost part of the big camp clearing, it is the end of May, the weeping willow is thousands of wisps of green and proud, this weeping willow tree does not know how many years it has grown, and the branches are covered with shade and a radius of dozens of meters. Under the shade of the trees is a meadow with two unknown wildflowers, which look like the Gesang plum blossoms that bloom in late summer and early autumn on the grassland.

There is a rather large bluestone in the shade of the tree, the surface is smooth, I don't know what kind of stone it is, the sun can't be exposed to the sun in the shade, the tentacles are cool, but it is a good place to rest. A lazy person like Li Xian will naturally not let go of such a summer resort. At this time, he was lying on the bluestone slab with his eyes closed, and he didn't know what he was thinking. There was a bucket of cold water on the grass beside him, and his black knife was soaking in the cold water.

After lying down for a while, Li Xian closed his eyes and stretched out his hand to touch the bucket, then took out a pot of new wine soaked in water, pulled out the lid and poured it, it was cool and cold, and he felt as happy as eating ice cubes. This wine is fruit wine, it is not strong, and it has a sweet taste, and my heart becomes comfortable when I drink it.

Li Xian patted the handle of the black knife, and said in his heart that when he first built it, he really didn't expect that this thing was not only a weapon for killing, but also a pure natural energy-saving refrigerator.

The black knife was made of meteoric iron, and I don't know why it was so cold and piercing. Soak in water, if you don't move, it won't take half a day for the water to freeze a layer of ice.

Lying on the cool bluestone slab, drinking chilled fruit wine, so idle under the shade of the tree, it really responded to the idle word in his name.

It's just that he is not idle at all in his heart, but is busy to death. It has been the twelfth year of the great cause, and the chaos in the world is no longer in a corner, but in the entire country of the Great Sui. How to go and how to gain a foothold in Yanyunzhai is something that Li Xian must consider. Even for now, he has a lot to worry about. Although there are many talents in the village now, and there are people in charge of all aspects, Li Xian is far from the point where he can leave it alone.

Qi County and Lu County, guarded by Xu Shiji, with 30,000 soldiers, Pei Renji and Wu Yunzhao, ordinary 100,000 horses to attack may not be able to get benefits. Daxi Changru and Zhang Zhong in Juyeze are sticking to it, and the recruited recruits and some of the sailors are practicing in the stockade, with the danger of Juyeze and the ability of Daxi Changru, basically Li Xian in Juyeze doesn't have to worry about it at all. It seems that he is a person who knows how to use people, but he is still a guy with a little compulsion, if he doesn't straighten things out, he doesn't want to be really idle.

Now there are two things in front of him, and he has to come up with the best way to solve them.

Although the people of Wagangzhai sent Zhang Xutuo's head back, but the laborers mobilized tens of thousands of horses to come, if they only brought back a head, wouldn't it be too much of a loss. With Li Xian's temperament, how could he go home? This battle with Wagangzhai must be fought sooner or later, and it is better to fight early than to fight late. But it was too early, and the loss was just as huge. Wait until Li Mi and Zhai Rang fall out before fighting? Who knows when they're going to fall out.

The other thing is the negotiation with the imperial court.

The imperial court wanted to recruit peace, which was something Li Xian did not expect. Buying Pei Juyu Shiji, Li Xian just wanted to have more eyes and ears in the court. Who knew that Pei Ju was still a good businessman, he received money and did things, and there was a big gift package, which was also a bit of an unexpected surprise. If you can really get some benefits from the imperial court, Yan Yunzhai will change from a rebel army to an official army, and it will be much more advantageous to act in the future, as for loyalty to the imperial court, Li Xian's ass has never thought about this problem.

But why did Yang Guang agree to recruit An? Li Xian would not be stupid to think that Yang Guang didn't know that he killed Wen Jiao, since Yang Guang knew, what kind of calculation did he agree to Zhao'an?

I don't understand these things, Li Xian is not down-to-earth.

Therefore, he is particularly concerned about the movements in Jiangdu City.

However, Jiangdu and Dongping County are too far apart, even if Yanyunzhai has set up many bases to transmit news, but the speed of transmitting news in this era is still too slow.

Ju Yeze has nothing to worry about, Qi County Lu County has nothing to worry about, Wagangzhai can't fight for the time being, and he has to wait for Na Nei Ying to successfully provoke Li Mi and Zhai Rang. So Li Xian's main focus was on staring at Jiang Du's side, he suddenly regretted a little, Ye Huaichong was only afraid that Jia'er would send him over, was it a little rash?

Jia'er's mind is indeed careful enough, but she has never done anything alone after all. Thinking of this, Li Xian simply got up, carried the black knife and wine bag, and walked in the direction of the camp tent to discuss with Ye Huaisleeve.

……

……

When Fang Xiaozhou returned to the dark guard's camp, it was already dark, and after he returned to the dark guard's camp, he entered the stone room, although he changed his clothes, he had a trace of tiredness on his face that could not be concealed. All afternoon, he worked in the room, and his hands were white and swollen from blisters.

Changing into the big red embroidered koi official uniform, Fang Xiaozhou's brows were still slightly furrowed, and it was rare that he didn't show a smile, which made Lu Xiu'er feel a little surprised.

"Have you ever had dinner?"

Fang Xiaozhou sat down in the chair and habitually retracted his hands into the wide cloak.

Lu Xiu'er didn't speak, just looked at Fang Xiaozhou with some pity in her eyes. This look made Fang Xiaozhou a little annoyed, so he began to smile.

"I forgot, I told the people below that you are not allowed to eat, you will die anyway, and it is a waste to eat as much as you want."

He suddenly found traces of vomiting on Lu Xiu'er's clothes, and frowned slightly: "Why are you so wasteful?" Didn't you think I'd give you food? What you spit out is enough to guarantee you an extra day. Pity...... It's a shame. ”

Lu Xiu'er looked at him playfully and smiled: "If you really feel pity, I don't mind if you eat all this thing." I had beef soup dumplings in the morning, so I promise you haven't eaten them. ”

Fang Xiaozhou looked at the residue and shook his head slowly, and said very seriously: "I can guarantee that in a few days, when you have to swallow these things back into your stomach, you will find that the things that look so disgusting are more delicious and fragrant than eating hot soup dumplings." ”

"You know I'm in Xian Xiang Building?"

Lu Xiu'er asked a slightly idiotic question.

"Yes."

Fang Xiaozhou smiled and said: "Not only do I know that you are in Xianxianglou, but I also know that you are all thieves in Yanyun Village, and I also know that you plan to use Pei Ju to change your innocent identity and become an official soldier." I also know that there are four guys and one owner in your store, and they are all sycophants. ”

Lu Xiu'er sighed: "You really know a lot, so you don't need to talk so much nonsense with me." ”

He looked at Fang Xiaozhou and asked seriously in a consultative tone, "Kill me?" ”

Fang Xiaozhou shook his head and said solemnly: "I still don't know a lot of things, how can I kill you so quickly?" ”

"What do you want to know?"

Lu Xiuer asked.

Fang Xiaozhou suddenly sighed and said, "I thought that your big boss in Yanyun Village was just a grass coward who had never seen much of the world, but when I heard about him in Liaodong, I felt that he was a little interesting." Don't blame me for being lonely, I've been preparing to build a secret guard for the past five years, and I'm busy working in the Huanyi room, and I haven't followed the three expeditions to Liao. You know, Wen Yidao is not dead, and I can't return to His Majesty. ”

"I think it's interesting for you bosses, but I don't think he's a great character. But after arresting you, my opinion of your big boss has changed again, even a small person like you is so impressive, then you big boss must have some real skills, think about it, you are just a little minion, he is naturally a hundred times stronger than you. What I want to know is your curious boss. ”

"Thanks for the compliment."

Lu Xiu'er said solemnly.

"I'm just intellectually speculating about your masters, not praising you."

"That's not right......."

Lu Xiu'er said: "I always thought that compared with my general, he is like a bright moon, but I am not even a firefly. When you say that the general is a hundred times stronger than me, you are naturally praising me, because I think that the general is stronger than I don't know how many times. ”

"Understood."

Fang Xiaozhou nodded and said sincerely: "It seems that the plan I set is going to be overturned, if I want to kill such a person, I think it's too simple, okay, from now on I'm going to force you, I want to know everything about your Yanyun Village." ”

"What if I don't say it?"

Lu Xiuer asked.

Fang Xiaozhou smiled and said, "That's it, I'll let you see first, how we interrogate the prisoners, and then you decide whether to say it or not, okay?" ”

He also used a consultative tone, which was very kind.

It's just that he didn't wait for Lu Xiu'er to answer, clapped his hands, and then two red-robed dark guards walked in quickly with a person, and then threw the person to the ground with a thud. The two red-robed dark guards stood there with their knives pressed their knives, looking coldly at the people who had been thrown on the ground.

……

The person on the ground is an old man with half a life, he looks to be about fifty years old, with gray hair, wearing a blue shirt, and he looks like a eunuch, Lu Xiuer doesn't know much about eunuch official uniforms, but looking at the style of his clothes, he should be a not low status.

"Zheng Baocheng, look up at me."

Fang Xiaozhou looked at the old eunuch and said with a smile.

"My lord's life, my lord's forgiveness, my lord, I'm just the steward of the's room, I don't know anything, I haven't done anything wrong, my lord, let me go."

The old eunuch Zheng Baocheng kowtowed a few times on his stomach, begging again and again.

Fang Xiaozhou frowned slightly, and glanced at the two red-robed dark guards. The two people immediately understood, and one of them grabbed Zheng Baocheng's hair, stepped forward and slapped thirteen or fourteen times, until the blood beads splashed out. The red-robed guard reprimanded while beating: "Your Excellency asked you to raise your head, and you raised your head, where is there so much nonsense?" ”

Zheng Baocheng was beaten and cried wolf, and he didn't dare to lower his head again. It was only when he saw Fang Xiaozhou that he sat on the ground with a scream: "Why are you?!" ”

Fang Xiaozhou shook his head, smiled and said, "Steward Zheng, what's the matter, do you know Bendu?" ”

"You...... Why did you wear such a suit, you ...... Who are you. ”

The old eunuch said in horror.

"You whipped me three times in the afternoon."

Fang Xiaozhou smiled gently: "It still hurts." ”

Without waiting for Zheng Baocheng to say anything, a red-robed secret guard grabbed his right arm, and the other came up and grabbed one of his fingers, folding them back and forth like breaking a wooden stick, twisting them more than a dozen times, and finally in a slight click, he broke off a finger, Zheng Baocheng died in pain, wailing and begging for mercy. The red-robed dark guard didn't pay attention to him at all, and broke off three fingers one after another and threw them on the ground.

Lu Xiu'er calmly looked at the old eunuch's painful and wailing appearance, and her face did not change at all.

"You scolded me for being a slut in the afternoon, remember?"

Fang Xiaozhou asked.

Hearing this, Zheng Baocheng, who was still wailing, suddenly understood something, immediately closed his mouth, and clenched his teeth tightly. The red-robed dark guard stretched out his two hands expressionlessly, forcefully broke his jaw open, and then put his hand into Zheng Baocheng's mouth, picking back and forth in his mouth, and finally he caught his tongue, like twisting his fingers, the dark guard grabbed his tongue and dragged it out, dragging it back and forth seven or eight times, and pulled his tongue out of his mouth with a bang, and blood gushed out like a waterfall, spraying the dark guard.

Looking at the bloody scene, Fang Xiaozhou smiled and explained gently: "I hate using knives the most, it's too bloody." ”

Lu Xiu'er nodded: "Yes, it's too bloody to use a knife." ”

Fang Xiaozhou listened to him echo himself and became even happier: "God has given each of us a pair of hands, just to let us do things with our hands. It's not good to rely too much on tools for everything. ”

Lu Xiu'er asked, "Can you kill him?" ”

"Of course not."

Fang Xiaozhou said seriously: "Because you are not afraid. ”
