Chapter 1052 robs each other's protagonists

Chang'an City

After Fang Xie saw the news that Xiao Riding School had sent it from Dongjiang urgently, the anger in his eyes spread irrepressibly.

"I thought Mu Guangling was a real hero, but now it seems that he really looks up to him. Now that the foreigners have not been repulsed, he has begun to eliminate dissidents, and even has done such a despicable and dirty way as cutting off food for other anti-thief teams. If it weren't for the fact that we had goods to support the world, I was afraid that the team guarding Phoenix Terrace would be cut off. ”

"The situation in Eastern Xinjiang is too chaotic, Mu Guangling is thinking, can we stabilize the internal affairs first, and then we can concentrate on the outside world."

Dugu Wenxiu said beside him: "However, he forgot, where will the foreigners give him time to rule?" He was busy putting pressure on the other anti-thief teams, and the foreigners were happy to see it happen. If something really goes wrong, his subordinates are worried that the pressure on General Nalan's side will be even greater. In the opinion of his subordinates, it is better to send people thousands of miles to rush to the eastern frontier, and let Nalan Dingdong lead the troops back to Shanhaiguan. If foreigners want to enter the customs, they must go through the Shanhaiguan, and sniping in the customs is also a good strategy. ”

Wu Yi pondered for a while and said: "Dugu's words are indeed reasonable, Mu Guangling is now thinking about holding the command with one mind, and letting everyone listen to his orders is not wrong in itself, on the battlefield, it is taboo to order multiple doors." But his methods are too despicable, it is better to transfer Nalan's men and horses back to Shanhaiguan to set up defenses. ”

Fang Xie paced back and forth in the room, and after a long while, he nodded: "In that case, let the Xiao Cavalry School use the fastest way to send a message to Nalan, and let him immediately lead the troops to withdraw from Phoenix Terrace and retreat to Shanhaiguan to be armed." However, the foreigners' sailors are very strong, and it is possible that they have already entered from the mouth of the Yangtze River. Our sailors are now used to block the Mengyuan people in the west, and they can't be adjusted for a while. Let Nalan be careful, don't be copied by foreigners. ”

"The most hateful thing is Yang Shunhui!"

Chen Xiaoru said angrily: "With nearly 100,000 elites in my hands, I forgot that I am a Han and is willing to be a slave to foreigners!" If the 100,000 elites in Muping City had stopped it, the war in Eastern Xinjiang would not have been so chaotic. ”

Wu Yiyi shook his head: "Yang Shunhui can't be counted on anymore, and it will be a disaster for this person to stay." I think it's better to get rid of him. I think there are many people in his army who are not used to what he has done, and if he dies, there will be a large number of righteous men who will stand up against the foreigners. Why don't I arrange for someone to go to Muping City? ”

"There are people in the Xiao Riding School over there, but Yang Shunhui's cultivation is not bad."

Fang explained: "Rather than letting him control the 100,000 army and do nothing, it is indeed better to let that team disperse." However, there is a shortage of manpower on the side of the Xiao Riding School, and Hou Ye can send masters to Dongjiang. ”

"I see that the wine and wealth can go."

Wu Yi said tentatively.

Fang Xie nodded: "Well, give him a chance to redeem his merits, Hou Ye will choose some people from the world, Chen Xiaoru, you can choose some more people from the Xiao Riding School, and let the wine and wealth go to Dongjiang." If he makes a contribution this time, the position of deputy commander of the Xiao Riding School will be given to him. ”

"Whoa"

Chen Xiaoru lowered his head in response.

"Also"

Wu Yiyi stood up and said: "It has been almost two months since the lord entered Chang'an City, and there are more than two hundred masters of the Jianghu sect who have come from all over the world, especially in the past few days, and there are more than ten or twenty people coming every day. It is estimated that in another ten days, there will be 500 sect masters of all sizes coming. Among them, the masters of each Taoist temple account for half of them. If the lord can spare time, he can go and meet these people. ”

Fang Xie sighed: "I really should meet, there are many heroes and heroes on the rivers and lakes, and it is also a grand event to be able to summon so many people this time." If you turn around and sort out the affairs of the Taoist Sect, the rivers and lakes can be more peaceful. ”

Chen Xiaoru said: "In fact, my subordinates feel that most of the Jianghu sects have the heart to rely on the imperial court, and now the world has not stabilized, if the lord is willing to accept them, they will naturally be satisfied." If the lord does not accept them, they may go to vote for someone else. Everyone wants to make some fame in the troubled times, it depends on whether the court gives a recognition. ”

Fang Xie nodded: "Go back to Hou Ye and Chen Xiaoru, you go to meet first, and I will hold a banquet in a few days to entertain them." Chen Xiaoru, you should pay more attention, there are more sects in the rivers and lakes, and the security in the city will inevitably be poor. The people of the Xiao Riding School and the various yamen must be maintained more, and the peace of the people must not be disturbed. ”

"Whoa!"

Chen Xiaoru agreed loudly, and then asked: "Lord, these Jianghu guests are all placed in the post station, there are one hundred and eight post stations in Chang'an City, which are too scattered, it is better to arrange them all to live in the Yanwu Academy." For ordinary Jianghu guests, the three words of Yanwuyuan still have weight, and they dare not make a mistake. ”

Fang Xie snorted: "That Mr. Nine is also about to arrive in Jiangbei Province, I will set off early tomorrow morning and go to meet him with wine-colored wealth." When I come back, I'll entertain those friends. ”

Gangbuk-do

Fang Xie let the place where Jiu Shicai sent the message was extremely clever, avoiding the place where the Black Flag Army was deployed. Fang Xie was worried that this Mr. Jiu's cultivation was too high, and if he took a circle from Qinhe to Lingmen Pass when he came, it would be unfavorable to the generals of the Black Flag Army. Although Xiao Yijiu is now in Lingmen Pass, he can't take care of it after all.

The agreed place is called Xuanxiantai

It's on the north bank of the Yangtze River.

The reason why this place is called such a name is because a real great sage died here a few years ago, although his body was later taken away by the enemy and whipped his body, but as the news spread, the fame of this place is still growing, and it has become a place where many people come to worship.

His name is Wan Xingchen.

The Black Flag Army later sorted out the tomb and built a tomb here, which is not very large. After all, this is just an empty tomb, and the symbolism is far greater than the actual meaning. After the Black Flag Army passed, this place was not deserted, and all the Jianghu guests who passed by had to fill in a handful of soil for the grave.

Mr. Nine walked to the tomb, and he didn't know why his expression was very solemn.

"I should have thought of such a shoddy plan a long time ago, and I actually succeeded."

He smiled self-deprecatingly, then crouched down and pulled out a few weeds from the grave. Then he picked up a few handfuls of new soil from the side and patted them on the grave.

I don't know when, there was also someone filling in the soil on the other side of the grave.

Mr. Nine didn't look up, and neither did the man on the other side.

"Actually, I never regarded you as the biggest opponent, and I didn't even think about meeting you."

Mr. Nine said while patting the scattered soil that had fallen from the grave: "Sometimes life is so unpleasant, a person I don't think is an opponent but becomes an opponent. Actually, I had already guessed that this would be the case when I saw this lonely grave, but I didn't leave. I was wondering why I was deceived, and after thinking about it, I realized that it was not that I underestimated you, but that I overestimated myself. ”

The man on the other side smiled, and his voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of disturbing the sleeping soul in the grave. Yes, there are no bones in this tomb, but if there is a soul, it must be here.

"Have you ever thought that you calculated me, but death could make you?"

Mr. Nine asked.

The man on the other side stood up and slapped the dust on his palms a few times: "Did I tell you that you are a chatter?" ”

The first meeting between the two was so peaceful.

Fang Xie untied his pipe from his waist, lit it and took a puff. He sat on one side of the tomb, and Mr. Nine sat on the other side of the tomb. Two people don't seem to be rivals, not enemies, and certainly not friends, just like passers-by, who only appear once in each other's lives, and then cross each other.

"The pipe is a symbol of the elderly."

Mr. Nine said.

Fang Xie exhaled a puff of smoke and watched the smoke gradually dissipate in the sky: "Perhaps, I am older than you think." ”

Mr. Nine snorted, although it was impossible for him to understand the meaning of Fang Fang's words.

"There are so many incomplicies, too many unknowns in this world. It's like the place I stayed in for a long time, but I don't understand that it belongs to this world. If I did, I might have killed you far away. ”

Mr. Nine couldn't help but smile when he thought of this: "That must be a very interesting thing." ”

Fang Xie smiled lightly and looked at the smoke in the sky: "Everyone has seen and heard a lot of bizarre and strange stories, and the people who have experienced extraordinary things in each story are the protagonists. Either you can be blessed in danger, or you can know the cause and effect in danger, and you can make a great difference in the end. In fact, everyone is a book, and they are all the protagonists of this book. For example, you must have experienced a lot of things that ordinary people can't even think of, and according to the laws of the story, you feel that you should be the protagonist of a story. ”

"What about you?"

Mr. Nine smiled and asked, "Do you often have such thoughts, since you were a child?" You feel like you're going to be the one who is different, and you even feel like the world is going around you. If you leave yourself, the world may become a ghostly place. ”

"That's right."

Fang Xie nodded: "But I think, not only you and me, maybe everyone has had such fantasies when they were children, and when they grow up, as life is tied up by trivial things, there will be no time to fantasize anymore." And most of the people who continue this fantasy when they grow up have adventures. ”

Mr. Nine snorted: "As you said, if you look at everyone's life as a book, everyone is naturally the protagonist." When you say this, I suddenly understand that my world doesn't have to be much bigger than others, it's just a book. However, my book may be a little thicker, very thick and thick. ”

He asked, "What about you?" ”

Fang Xie laughed, especially bright: "I am also a little different from others. ”

"What's the difference?"

Mr. Nine asked.

Fang Xie turned his head and looked at Mr. Jiu: "Everyone can see themselves as the protagonist of a book, you are like this, he is like this, everyone in the world is like this, but I am not like this." In my opinion, I am the protagonist, not the protagonist of a book, but in every book. ”

Mr. Jiu frowned: "The ambition is really big. ”

Between the two of them was an empty grave, and in it was buried a soul of such weight.

And beside this sleeping soul, two men who didn't seem to be very old stood up. Standing facing each other, the expressions on their faces were somewhat similar.

"I think I should be able to kill you."

Mr. Nine said seriously: "In that case, those books of yours will be mine." ”

Fang Xie snorted: "I'll wait for you to pick it up." ”
