Chapter 45: Farewell
The sun is setting, and the evening breeze is cool. In a valley that should be silent, a group of men dressed as robbers are busy and in full swing. They searched Zhu Gaocan's carriage and immediately found the box containing the wine. After the boxes were lifted onto another inconspicuous pony cart, the group split into two groups. A group of axes were drawn, crackling and chopping Zhu Gaocan's carriage to pieces, dousing kerosene, and then lighting a fire to burn the carriage to the ground. The other group of people swept the ruts of the carriage in the tense and covered it all the way, so that people could not follow the ruts to find themselves. All went in an orderly manner, and no one stopped to say a word of nonsense.
Fang Zhongjin stood on the side and watched them busy for a long time, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Talents are always talents, if this group of people can't get along in the imperial court, even if they change their careers to become bandits, they will never starve to death." ”
He looked at it for a while, then turned to Ji Changan and said, "The wine has been recovered." Although tossed until now, the taste of the wine has long been sour. But the good thing is that you also have something to take back to your life. ”
Ji Changan smiled rarely, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. He said, "It's thanks to you, but you've also earned a good knife, which is a bonus." ”
Fang Zhongjin said again: "Since everything is happy, then sending you a thousand miles will eventually have to say goodbye." You still owe me one thing, do you remember?"
Ji Changan was stunned, it seemed that when Fang Zhongjin promised to help, he did say that he would agree to a condition. It's just that Fang Zhongjin never mentioned it again, and he forgot about it completely. Ji Changan patted Fang Zhongjin on the shoulder and said, "Say nothing else." I see that you are very good, come with me to Jinyiwei, I will ensure that your kid has a great future. ”
Fang Zhongjin looked up at the afterglow in the west and said, "I understand your kindness. It's a pity that I don't have this blessing, and I'm not destined to live a stable life. Also, don't divert the subject, you still owe me a condition. ”
Ji Changan raised his eyebrows and said, "You can just say what conditions." ”
Fang Zhongjin stared at Ji Changan's eyes for a long time, as if he was hesitating how to speak, and finally said: "There is nothing else." When you return to the capital, remember to get married early and take good care of your family. Don't go back to the wind and moon place to mess with flowers and grass. You don't owe me anything if you can do that. ”
Ji Changan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but he couldn't stop laughing, and said, "You kid is really a lover." With a little girl by her side, she still thinks about the Qinghuan of the capital in her stomach. Are you afraid that I will go to the brothel to bully Miss Qinghuan again? Well, since you want me to stay away from her, I won't go to her anymore. ”
Fang Zhongjin's face turned red after hearing this. He knew that Ji Changan had completely misunderstood him, but he didn't know how to explain it, so he finally gave up. I can only feel in my heart: Ji Changan finally promised not to go to the brothel, which is enough.
Ji Changan said goodbye to Fang Zhongjin and left with his men and horses. Fang Zhongjin watched them go farther and farther, and their shadows became longer and longer, and finally became a silhouette under the sunset. He sighed and said to Lu'er, "I didn't expect it to be so dangerous all the way out of the capital. Now that it's finally peaceful, we can continue our journey to Ninghai. ”
Lu'er smiled and said: "I'm afraid you are the grandson of the monkey, and there are still nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties ahead." It's not so easy to get peaceful. Finally, your kung fu is much more handsome than when you first left the capital. Now we don't have to be afraid of the little thieves nuisance. ”
Lu'er said this, but he couldn't help but worry in his heart. Seeing that Fang Zhongjin's kung fu is getting stronger and stronger, he has become the burden that gets in the way. Twice in a row, someone detained him, and then called Fang Zhongjin to be born and die. She thought that she must have some self-defense skills to succeed, so she asked Fang Zhongjin: "Do you know any quick successful husbands suitable for girls to practice?"
Fang Zhongjin's knowledge of martial arts may only be a little more than Lu'er. If it weren't for the painting idiot Taoist who told him not to hand over the internal strength to others, he could let Lu'er practice. He thought about it, and suddenly his eyes lit up. Fang Zhongjin took out the poison blade Cold Moon Knife from his arms, handed it to Lu'er and said, "I don't know what a quick husband is. You take this short knife for self-defense. It's just that the legend has poison on this knife, so you have to be careful when you use it, don't hurt yourself. ”
Lu'er looked at the short knife in a daze, and there seemed to be mist floating in his eyes. She lowered her eyebrows for a while, and after her breath stabilized, she raised her head and smiled at Fang Zhongjin and said: "Brother Jin, then Ji Changan said that you have one by your side and one in your heart. But really?"
Fang Zhongjin's face was bloody, he knocked Lu'er on the head, and said, "If you talk nonsense, I will take back the knife." ”
Lu'er hurriedly held the knife and said, "It's mine to send it." Never give it back to you. What she thought in her heart was: Ji Chang'an, that big idiot, can't understand what Brother Jin means, how could I not understand? He asked Ji Changan not to go to the brothel and take care of Xie Ling at home. It seems that Brother Jin really wants to forget about the bell. That's good, I'm not welcome.
The two of them laughed all the way and set off towards Ninghai. On the other side of the road, Ji Changan led his men all the way to the capital. More than a dozen horsemen waved their hooves vigorously, only to hear the horses' hooves constantly hitting the ground, but none of them spoke. Everyone in Jinyiwei was beating drums in their hearts, and they didn't know why their leader looked so worried. To say that although he didn't want to catch the thunder light mouse, he finally got the tribute back, and it shouldn't make the boss so calm. Anyway, it's always not wrong to speak up first.
And Ji Changan was thinking about nothing else at this time, it was Fang Zhongjin, this kid. When the two of them met for the first time, he really didn't feel that there was anything different about Fang Zhongjin, only after such a while, his kid's kung fu was already faintly on par with himself. And Fang Zhongjin has a lot of flexible brains and ideas, and it seems that he wants to outperform himself.
People in the world practice martial arts, and those who specialize in internal skills can hurt the enemy by flying flowers and picking leaves. There are also those who practice external skills diligently and devote themselves to tending to the realm from the moves. And Ji Chang'an's path is the most troublesome to cultivate both internally and externally, and at the same time work internal and external strength. And he has extremely high requirements for himself, and he has really worked hard for hidden weapons, fists and feet, weapons, and light skills. As a result, his initial progress was inevitably slower than those who specialized in one subject. But he is like a wooden barrel without shortcomings, once time passes, you can find that Ji Changan's strength will be far behind others.
At this time, he secretly swore in his heart that even if the two of them couldn't compete now, he would definitely work harder when he went back in the future. If there is still a chance to meet, he will definitely want Fang Zhongjin to look good! Thinking of this, he moved his heart and threw out a whip flower in the air with the whip in his hand. The brocade guards behind him trembled in their hearts.
