Chapter 84: Is he sleeping well?

Xihuamei stood in front of the back window on the third floor and looked outside. The people in the courtyard gathered together and seemed to be discussing something. She could see those people moving but couldn't hear the sound, so the picture seemed to be still, which was very wonderful.

Xihua's eyebrows are very beautiful. Even a man like him once said that her eyebrows are so beautiful that they make people's heart beat. But at this time, these two beautiful eyebrows were almost entangled together.

The backyard of Hongxiuzhao is likely to become the storm center of the entire Chang'an City and even the entire Sui Empire soon after, because a single sword lies on the bed in that small courtyard to kill the Great Sui War Department.

In any case, His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty could not bear it.

"Small, go find Fang Jie."

She turned around and ordered.

Although she didn't understand what was going on, it was the first time that Xiao Dingdian saw Aunt Xi's face, with such a solemn expression. So she was very scared and had the illusion that she was about to lose something. Aunt Xi has always been the pillar of the entire Hongxiuzhao. If even this pillar began to shake, how could these little birds living on the big tree of Hongxiuzhao not panic?

She carried her skirt and went downstairs almost like flying to find Fang Jie.

backyard

Fang Jie held Chen Qingfan and placed it on the lounge chair to let her get in touch with some warm sunshine. Whether it is a big dog or a Mu Xiaohao, they have never seen Chen Qingfan like this. Especially Mu Xiaohao, in her impression, Chen Qingfan is always such a noble and cold woman. She will not show weakness to anyone. She was like this when she entered the master's sect on the first day. She was withdrawn and did not interact with all the disciples in the master's sect.

There was a little contempt in her eyes when she looked at anyone, and she looked down on those senior sisters. Although she was just a little girl at that time, she never seemed to doubt that she would surpass everyone in this mountain gate. She was just a sword, like the long sword she held in her arms, and she did not need a scabbard to block the coldness and sharpness of the long sword.

But at this time, Chen Qingfan, who was carried out by Fang Jie from the room, hooked Fang Jie's neck with one hand, as well as a weak and weak as a kitten. She narrowed her eyes slightly and leaned on Fang Jie's solid chest. Her eyes were always looking at Fang Jie's face, and Mu Xiaoyao even felt that there was an attachment in Chen Qingfan's eyes.

This is simply impossible for the sunken fan.

She looked down on all men, and she looked down on Fang Jie too.

At least this has always been like this before. She has scolded Fang Jie more than once for being a waste. She wants to abandon Fang Jie more than once and let him die. On the way to escape, she even once made a cut on Fang Jie's arm with a long sword. At that time, Mu Xiaoyao and the others felt that Chen Qing slapping the other Fang Jie was really interested in killing her.

She isolates herself from everyone, and she is proudly independent.

But why is such a woman so delicate now?

It’s such a woman, why does her eyes look at Fang Jie with dependence and reluctance?

So, Mu Xiaoyao felt that this must be his own illusion.

Fang Jieheng hugged Chen Qingfan and placed the weak woman on the lounge chair. When Chen Qingfan left Fang Jie's arms, the reluctance in her eyes seemed to be stronger.

Mu Xiaoyao covered the velvet blanket in his hand on Chen Qingfan, and then turned around silently.

"Thanks"

She heard Chen Qingfan say.

Mu Xiaoyao's shoulders trembled slightly, and her face changed constantly. This was the first time that Chen Qingfan said the word "thank you" to others in more than ten years. And he said thank you to the person who was her goal since entering the mountain gate. At this time, Chen Qingfan seemed not Chen Qingfan.

Mu Xiaoyao didn't say anything and didn't look back.

Chen Qingfan's lips curled up slightly, as if she was proud of her thanks and Mu Xiaoyao didn't know how to deal with it. So... she still proudly fanned Chen Qingfan. Even at this time, she was still unwilling to act as weaker than anyone else. Even though her hands couldn't hold the sheathless sword at all.

"We have to leave today."

Fang Jie looked at Dadu and Mu Xiaoyao, and then looked at the old lame man sitting aside drinking.

Before Daquan and Mu Xiaoyao answered, he walked to the old lame man and knelt down, and kowtowed three times seriously and meticulously. He didn't say anything, and then stood up after kowtow. Wu Yidao saved him. When he left the Sanjin Hou Mansion, he just said thank you to Wu Yidao. The old lame man saved Chen Qingfan, but he knelt down and kowtowed.

"Old man, maybe I can only kowtow."

The meaning of this sentence is that there may be no time to repay kindness.

Fang Jie smiled bitterly with a bitter smile on his lips and said, "I originally wanted to rely on you, so I had to learn a knife before talking about it. But now it seems that there is no chance. No matter whether we can go or not, we have to go no matter how far we can go, even if we can only escape and live one more day, we still have to escape for this day's life. Although we met Mr. Zhuo by chance, since he told Miss Xiaoyao that he could hold down for three days, I believe him, it's good to have these three days of escape... Although I'm sorry to Mr. Zhuo if I do this."

The old lame man opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

"He may...will give you the chance to escape."

In the end, he just sighed helplessly, then lowered his head and stopped talking.

Fang Jie was stunned. When he heard the old lame man's words, he suddenly felt that he had a huge favor. Mr. Zhuo said to give Mu Xiaoyao three days. After the old lame man reminded him, he realized that Mr. Zhuo meant that you should hurry up and run away quickly.

He didn't express this meaning clearly about Mu Xiaoyao at that time, perhaps because he was afraid of something.

"Even now no one knows that Chen Qingshan is the one who broke into the Ministry of War at Ye Chuang..."

The big dog shook his head: "But now there are heavy troops to check all the gates of Chang'an City. How can we go?"

Mu Xiaoyao pointed to the package he had thrown on the table before and said, "Mr. Zhuo gave it, he said we might use it."

The big dog opened the package and found that there were several sets of new flying fish robes inside.

Fang Jie was shocked.

"Mr. Zhuo..."

He whispered this title, then turned around and waved far away in the direction of the Miyagi.

"After more than ten years ago, he was a person with true nature. Because of this, he was locked up in a prison with iron walls. The emperor cherishes his talent and does not kill him... It is true that he would not be able to lock him up at all. He was jailed for so many years, but his temperament has not changed at all."

The old lame man pondered and said in admiration.

"He used to be a member of the Qiu family in Jiangdu, and the only member of the Qiu family who survived under the knife of tens of thousands of elite elites. Although he was not surnamed Qiu, the Qiu family was very kind to him. He instinctively escaped, but he stubbornly sat next to the old master of the Qiu family. The two of them drank together and faced the influx of soldiers calmly."

The old lame man said.

...

...

Fang Jie stood and stared at his toes.

Xihuamei, who was sitting on the chair, glanced at him lightly and asked, "Want to leave?"

"Um"

Fang Jie nodded.

"Luo Yao, who guarded the southern border of the Great Sui Dynasty, and the left vanguard general of the imperial court... He almost died before the Shang Dynasty was destroyed. Do you know about this?"

Xi Huamei suddenly asked this question, which seemed to have nothing to do with what she was going to discuss.

Fang Jie shook his head.

Xihuamei said in a plain tone: "Luo Yao actually has two sons. Luo Wen, who won the first place in the martial arts field a few days ago, should be his second son, and his second son after his eldest son died. That year, Luo Yao was just a fifth-rank general... When his eldest son Luo Wu brought some servants to Taishan, he fell in love with a woman and forcibly occupied someone's body... Later I found out that the woman was actually the daughter of the Lu County Magistrate."

"Luo Wu was worried that the matter would be exposed, so he took his family slave to kill all the thirty-year-old county magistrate and his family of thirty overnight. Although the matter was done secretly, it was finally found out. Later, it was revealed that Luo Wu had sat on the stone chair where Emperor Taizu rested on Mount Tai. The incident was spread to the imperial capital. The late emperor was furious and had already drafted an order to kill Luo Yao's family, but when he was about to use the seal, Luo Yao arrived in the capital."

"He brought four soldiers into the city, naked and with thorns tied with thorns on his body. Luo Wu followed him, looking like a wild dog with a scared tail. The four soldiers carried a big box, and didn't know what was loaded with it, which looked very heavy. After entering the city, Luo Yao did something that shocked everyone."

"Just outside the Tai Chi Palace, he personally cut off the heart of his son Luo Wu. Then he ordered the soldier to open the box and kneel up in front of the Tai Chi Palace. The jingtiao pierced countless wounds on his body. I don't know how many people were scared when the scene of a man kneeling there in bloody state."

"The late emperor asked His Majesty, who was still the fourth prince at that time, to see him. His Majesty changed his face after only looking at the box. In the box, there were thirty-two heads, including Luo Yao's father, wife, concubine, and two daughters. His younger brother, sister-in-law, and nephew who was only thirteen years old."

"Your Majesty asked him why he must do this?"

"Luo Yao said, I asked to see the emperor, just to admit his guilt and convict the law, and then he would apologize. The state has the law of the country, and kill people to pay for his life. Thirty-two people died in the family of Sun Juncheng, and I also killed thirty-two relatives to pay for his life. The great Sui emperor's power, the country's laws and military laws, and I dare not make any blasphemy, but I should kill my son without any reason. The reason why I am not dead is that I want to come to the imperial capital and say that I know the crime in front of the people of the imperial capital and the civil and military officials of the court."

Xihuamei finished the story in one breath, and asked slowly, "He was not dead in the end, because the late emperor was grateful for his loyalty, and he was exempted from the death penalty and changed to thirty whipping. But there was no perfect place on his back, and he couldn't even beat the whipping. In the end, he was spared. He is now the barrier of the southern border of the Great Sui Dynasty, and he got all the glory that the general deserved. If he hadn't been ruthless enough at that time... then there would be no Duke Hu of the present. Do you think... he really didn't know that his son was domineering and bullying men and women?"

"Later, because he killed his whole family and killed his son, the late emperor always felt that he treated him a little unfairly, and then he rewarded him!"

After saying that, she looked at Fang Jie's eyes and waited for the reply.

“Very good, really good.”

Fang Jie slowly let out a sigh of relief, as if he was shocked by this story.

“This story is great”

Fang explained.

“This is not a story.”

Xihuamei said in his eyes.

"What happens to others is stories, so... I am not the protagonist of the story, and I can't do this. If I nodded now and asked Mr. Zhuo to take Chen Qing away with the big guard. There might be big dogs who were taken away together. They were convicted and their heads were chopped off. With your help, I might be able to live a life of silence. Then I pretended that nothing happened and knew nothing, and continued to take the exam in the Martial Arts Academy. According to my personality, I would say that in three years, I could win and lose with two other people in the martial arts field, just like Luo Wen and others, and then make a fortune."

"It's really possible because I can trust myself."

He said seriously: "I have been sure a long time ago that I am a person who will achieve his goal at all costs. I have never felt shame as a villain, nor do I envy those who are respected by the people as sages and good people. I have never thought that I would be a Buddhist who sweeps the floor and does not hurt the lives of ants. I never believed that being righteous and open is easier to stand up and succeed than being vicious. Although I am not old, I seem to know more principles than some old people. Looking at this world, I am colder than anyone else."

Fang Jie smiled and said, "But I am afraid that after lying on the bed and closing my eyes every night, there will be evil ghosts biting their toes. A long time ago, my mother told me that ghosts will call the door and bite people's toes when they do bad things. I have done bad things, but there is also a bottom line. What I firmly believe is... as long as I don't touch the bottom line set by myself, evil ghosts will not come to me. People can use all means to plot against outsiders for their future, but they must be very clean with their relatives. This... is my bottom line."
